Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Why are you angry again, baby?

Fu Yunlu stayed in the main city for three consecutive days without going out. Liang Guanyue spent the fifth day of the susceptible period with Fu Yunlu's company.

So, on the morning of the fifth day, he opened his eyes with a long-lost sense of clarity and ease, leisurely admiring the ceiling for a moment. When the remaining sleepiness had completely dissipated, he turned and looked at Fu Yunlu, who was still sleeping beside him. His fingers brushed aside the hair at the back of her neck, revealing bite marks all over her glands.

Is he the legendary masochist? Liang Guanyue pondered. Logically, when an Alpha's glands are bitten and penetrated, the pain must be greater than the pleasure. The innate physiological structure of the double A is destined to have a bad end. "You are a masochist." Liang Guanyue couldn't think of a reason to explain it, so he could only make this conclusion.

Fu Yunlu reached out and hugged Liang Guanyue in a daze, resting her head on his neck, whispering: "Toilet... Guanyue..."

"? You're the one who went to the bathroom." Liang Guanyue looked down at his slightly flushed face and touched his forehead. "Fu Yunlu, you seem to have a low-grade fever."

"I don't feel well... I..."

Liang Guanyue stared expressionlessly at the person in her arms for a long moment before sighing in annoyance. She pulled Fu Yunlu away from him, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to fill the tub with hot water. She walked over to the bed, shook him awake, and said in a harsh voice, "Hey, go clean up the mess. I've got the water ready for you."

Fu Yunlu forced her eyes open, and the sight of Liang Guanyue's face cleared her eyes a little. She smiled ingratiatingly and asked, "Is the susceptible period over?"

Liang Guanyue didn't like him smiling at her like that. She felt a little nauseous and her face turned even uglier. "Okay." He paused and said, "You have a fever."

Fu Yunlu touched her forehead and asked, "Really?" It seemed a little bit. "It should be inflammation. It's okay. I prepared medicine in advance."

"Don't you know how to resist?" Liang Guanyue recalled the past three days and said, "During my susceptible period, you did whatever I said. Are you really acting like a slave to me?"

"I want you to be able to pass your susceptible period comfortably." Although Fu Yunlu was exhausted and had no strength left, she still managed to sit up. "Anyway, I came all the way here. I think I did my job well, didn't I?"

"......" Liang Guanyue was a little annoyed.

Fu Yunlu smiled at him: "Thank you."

"...Are you sick?"

"I said, thank you for running the bath water for me."

Liang Guanyue said with a wooden face, "You are right to be sick."

Fu Yunlu was used to Liang Guanyue's sharp tongue, so she pretended not to hear him. "Since you've made it through your susceptible period, I'll pack up and leave in a moment so as not to disturb the rest of your vacation."

Liang Guanyue said impatiently: "Just know it. Get out of here as soon as you're done cleaning up."

Fu Yunlu was also used to Liang Guanyue's sudden bad moods. She supported herself on the bed and stood up. When she touched her wound, she frowned. She looked up and saw Liang Guanyue staring at her. She said awkwardly, "Don't keep looking at me like that... It's not a big deal."

Liang Guanyue had witnessed every embarrassing moment in his life, and as an elder, it was truly humiliating. Fu Yunlu tried to adjust herself, but found it was still not working. When people are conscious, they tend to pay extra attention to seemingly unimportant things like face. Older people especially want to maintain some self-respect in front of younger people, let alone younger people they like.

Fu Yunlu really hoped that Liang Guanyue could be a little more understanding at this time, such as pretending to leave the bedroom in a hurry and ignoring her, instead of just standing there with her eyes motionless, like a cat looking at a moving toy.

What's more, this toy may not be very convenient to walk with at the moment.

He sighed, a sigh that didn't represent anything other than fatigue, but to Liang Guanyue it sounded like a complaint. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Fu Yunlu said helplessly: "Can't I just sigh a few times when I'm tired?"

"You've only taken three steps since you got out of bed." Liang Guanyue said, "There are still more than ten steps to the bathroom. How many times do you plan to sigh?" He lowered his eyes and looked at the floor where Fu Yunlu walked. Suddenly he smiled, "Remember to mop the floor before you leave."

"...That's yours, not mine."

"I didn't say it wasn't mine." Liang Guanyue tilted her head and smiled sarcastically, "But who knows if it will still be mine in the future."

He did it on purpose. Fu Yunlu closed his eyes, breathing calmly, trying to quench his anger. He told himself: Liang Guanyue did it on purpose. This kid just wanted to piss him off so he could get rid of him. He couldn't let this meeting go to waste.

"Something was injected into the gland."

Liang Guanyue pinched the flesh covering his glands, which was still oozing blood. Fu Yunlu lost his balance due to this movement. He grabbed his wrist and said hoarsely, "...It hurts, Guanyue." His fingers trembled, and he lowered his head and opened his mouth, gasping in pain, "No...let go..."

"The things you lied about me are related to me. Don't think you can get away with it."

"......" Fu Yunlu frowned and said in a trembling voice, "No...

It affects you, I swear."

"Why do you think it won't affect me?"

"If it ever affects you and you express disgust, I will deal with it myself first." Fu Yunlu even grabbed his wrists with both hands, trying to make him let go. With a pale face, he begged for mercy, "...The glands at the back of my neck really hurt, Guan Yue."

"......Tsk." Liang Guanyue let go of his hand, and Fu Yunlu leaned against the wall to steady his body as if relieved of a heavy burden. He covered his glands with his palms, and cold sweat on his forehead dripped to the ground. He opened his mouth, perhaps wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't even dare to sigh. He simply closed his mouth and staggered past Liang Guanyue.

Liang Guanyue was upset and rubbed the back of her head randomly. Her slightly long black hair was messy like a ball of twine. She cursed inwardly, then turned around and picked up Fu Yunlu.

"What's wrong, Guan--!" Fu Yunlu's eyes widened, and she subconsciously hugged the other's neck tightly. Her mind went blank for a second, and she looked up at him in a daze. Liang Guanyue rolled her eyes to the left and said angrily, "If you want to ask why I suddenly carried you to the bathroom, then you'd better not ask. I'm very annoyed now."

"...Thank you?" Although he himself was not unable to leave, it was better not to question the child's behavior now. Fu Yunlu hesitantly broke the silence, "Is this the first time you've carried me like a princess? I was the one who carried you before."

"You used to be so concerned with your reputation that you acted like you were dying without it." Liang Guanyue walked into the bathroom, put the man in the bathtub, and said condescendingly, "Clean yourself up, don't expect me to help you."

Fu Yunlu laughed and said, "I don't expect that this kind of thing won't bother you."

Liang Guanyue touched her chin and glanced at the marks on his body. For some reason, a vague idea emerged in her mind, and she asked, "I remember you said before that the research institute was studying a scientific research project to turn Alphas into Omegas to increase fertility rates."

His eyes became sharp: "Fu Yunlu, is it possible that the project has made great progress?"

Fu Yunlu was stunned and explained, "No, this has been temporarily put on hold for some reason." He took Liang Guanyue's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I guarantee with my life that I will never cause you any unnecessary trouble."

He would never let Liang Guanyue discover the child, even if he died. If Liang Guanyue found out, Fu Yunlu was certain his life would be over, as Liang Guanyue would expel him forever out of disgust. Yet, he still clung to some memories that shouldn't exist, to support the possibility of being abandoned too early.

If I could learn to be content... Fu Yunlu pursed her lips. If I could learn to be content, would I not do such a despicable thing?

"You'd better." Liang Guanyue looked at him deeply before leaving, and said quickly, "...It's been hard work these past three days."

Fu Yunlu looked up dully and blinked slowly. Then redness gradually spread from her neck upwards. Fu Yunlu covered the lower half of her face and averted her gaze from Liang Guanyue. For a moment, she didn't know where to look to stop her gradually increasing heartbeat. She whispered, "...It's my duty."

Liang Guanyue was made even more uncomfortable by his reaction. She crossed her arms and mocked him, "...you are useless."

Fu Yunlu laughed out loud: "That seems to be the case."

It's so easy to coax them, like a simple polite remark can make them happy. Even if they turn around and sell themselves out, they'll still help count the money. Liang Guanyue left the bathroom and poured herself a glass of orange juice. After drinking it, she looked around the house. It was a mess, as if a war had been fought.

He picked up the blanket next to the sofa and saw what was stained on it—there was no way to tell who had left it there. Cushions, carpet, clothes—the more Liang Guanyue examined it, the uglier his expression became, and even Fu Yunlu, who had cleaned up, was irritated with it.

"What's wrong?" Fu Yunlu almost wanted to call her Miss.

Liang Guanyue wanted to find a place to sit down, but she felt that no place was clean, and she said angrily: "It's none of your business."

Fu Yunlu walked slowly to his side, observing his expression and said, "Why are you angry, baby? Can you tell me?"

Liang Guanyue glared at him, then realized that she was also involved and had no right to shift all the responsibility onto him. She tapped her arm with her fingers, snorted coldly, and said incoherently, "...There's not even a clean place."

Fu Yunlu paused, looked around, and found the pile of things behind Liang Guanyue, which had piled up like a small mountain. He asked in understanding, "Are they all dirty?"

Liang Guanyue hummed again, taking it as a "yes".

Fu Yunlu laughed several times, kissed Liang Guanyue on the cheek, and coaxed her gently: "It's my fault. I'll buy you a new one right away."

"Are you short of money?"

"I want to buy it for you, can't I?"

"..." Liang Guanyue unconsciously relaxed her brows, pinched Fu Yunlu's cheeks, and looked at his forced pout. She felt much better, "Brother, how can you stay in the main city for three days?"

"What if I say I've used up all my opportunities to come to the main city in the next three months?"

"......" Liang Guanyue chuckled, "Really? That's great."

"I'm kidding, how could that be possible? I just mustered up the courage to make a bet with the Führer."

Liang Guanyue asked curiously, "What bet?"

"Some individuals in the gambling insect tribe have evolved intelligence."

Liang Guanyue didn't scoff at Fu Yunlu's wild idea when he heard it. Instead, he pondered for a long time and asked, "What's your evidence?"

"That's why I said I 'plucked up the courage' to make a bet with the Führer. Because I don't have any evidence," Fu Yunlu said with a blazing gaze. "But I believe the Zerg's evolutionary wisdom is inevitable. It's just that it's probably only at the early stages right now. Exposing its weaknesses will help us see if we can lure it into revealing its true potential."

"The bet is not just these three days in the main city, right?" If Fu Yunlu said yes, Liang Guanyue would kick this idiot out of the house immediately.

Fu Yunlu said with a smile, "How is that possible? What I'm betting is very important." He kissed Liang Guanyue again, "It's about whether I'm qualified to truly stand by your side and pursue you. Governing District 53 well is the condition for me to return to the main city. Winning this bet means I have the right to freedom of marriage."

"What if you lose?" Liang Guanyue stared into his eyes.

"Marriage arrangements are a must for every royal family. Therefore, if you want the right to freedom of marriage, you can't be a member of the royal family," Fu Yunlu said. "But if I don't have money and power, I really don't know how to best protect you. The less I can do, the lower my value."

Fu Yunlu joked to herself, "Not being an Omega is already a disadvantage, and there's all this mess in the past. If I lose all the benefits of this identity, wouldn't it be completely useless? I want to pave all the roads for your future. I'm not kidding, nor am I just saying it."

The more Liang Guanyue listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. He looked at Fu Yunlu's right wrist, where his terminal should have been. "Didn't you say the terminal was broken? Now it seems that's not the reason."

Fu Yunlu quickly said, "I didn't mean to lie to you, but you were in your susceptible period at that time. I planned to wait until you were over the susceptible period before confessing to you."

"If you don't want to die, then go for it."

"I will put my own safety first." Fu Yunlu said with a smile, "If I win, can you promise me one thing?"

Liang Guanyue raised an eyebrow: "Winning two people's promises with one bet is a bit too greedy, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

"I won't make things difficult for you. I just want you to go skydiving with me again." Fu Yunlu smiled and said, "But we can't go to that island anymore. It was auctioned off a long time ago to repair the protective shield of Area 53. But I will choose a good place."

Liang Guanyue said coldly: "I didn't say I promised you."

"I'll take it you agreed."

"......Hello."

"Am I pushing too far?"

"right."

"Since you've already pushed your luck, I'll take it as your agreement."

Liang Guanyue curled her lips and tutted, "...so annoying."
