In a story, the supporting male role can be an evenly matched opponent, a handy tool person, a brother who shares life and death, or a lifelong enemy that's hard to dispel, the ultimate villain...
Chapter 87: Ensnaring 18
The future cannot escape him.
Don't even think about it.
Although it was clearly the posture of a subordinate, it made Gu Rong feel restrained.
Something has changed.
Just as Ling Xiao said, they were all proactive, but now there was a sense of stiffness.
But perhaps Gu Rong wanted to hide this awkward feeling, so when he kissed her, he was extra forceful, as if he was still open and unaffected.
This was the first kiss between Ling Xiao and Gu Rong since they confirmed their feelings.
But it was also the first kiss Ling Xiao had given Gu Rong since he confirmed his feelings and was implicitly rejected by her.
He couldn't describe his mood at this moment: anger, laughter, addiction, and gradually rising desire. He no longer made any excuses like before, but admitted that it was all because of the person in front of him. He wanted to get more, wanted to control more, and wanted to confirm his identity and qualifications to kiss Gu Rong like this.
Otherwise, what are they doing?
Ling Xiao held Gu Rong tightly in his arms, then turned over and pressed Gu Rong under him, with his chest against his back. His canine teeth pierced the glands at the back of Gu Rong's neck and injected pheromones into it. The spicy aroma of liquor mixed with the sour taste of lime had a strange and pungent taste, just like their current relationship.
It took a long time for the pheromone fluctuations to stabilize.
Gu Rong's forehead was wet with sweat. He lay on the bed, breathing softly, his fingers resting weakly on the sheets. Occasionally, he would unconsciously clench and then release them, his eyes a little out of focus.
Not only my forehead, but also the back of my neck was sweating.
Even when Ling Xiao released the soothing pheromone, a drop of sweat rolled down the gland and into Ling Xiao's mouth, mixing with the saliva, making his mouth water.
When he was finally forced to stop, the glands on the back of his neck were already mottled.
Wet and with water marks.
The bite marks were not only red and swollen, but also bleeding, giving off an inexplicable sense of pity.
Ling Xiao raised his head and looked down at him.
After a while, he lowered his head again.
The tip of the tongue licked the red and swollen area of the gland, licking away all the blood.
Gu Rong groaned and subconsciously buried his head in the bed sheet.
Then, as if he suddenly felt something, his body suddenly stiffened.
In the overlapping position, any reaction could not be concealed at all.
Ling Xiao put his nose against the back of Gu Rong's neck, breathed lightly, whispered an apology, and restrained himself to step back.
It has happened before.
But Ling Xiao had never lost his composure like this before.
In other words, he was restraining himself soberly before, but now he is restraining himself to be sober.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the bathroom? Go ahead." Ling Xiao whispered.
Gu Rong squirmed a little on the bed.
No action.
Ling Xiao's heart suddenly moved slightly, as if he realized something, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he put his palm on Gu Rong's shoulder and said hesitantly: "Gu Rong, you..."
Gu Rong seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, turned his back to Ling Xiao, and struggled to get up.
But Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation and pulled her shoulders over, pushing her down on the bed face up.
Ling Xiao looked down.
His Adam's apple rolled and he whispered, "Do you want my help?"
"don't want."
Gu Rong put his hand on Ling Xiao's chest: "This is just a normal reaction."
Ling Xiao was silent for a moment: "Really?"
"yes."
Gu Rong answered without hesitation, then looked at Ling Xiao and said, "If you want, I can help you."
As he said this, he was about to reach his hand down.
But he was stopped by Ling Xiao halfway.
Ling Xiao was about to laugh out of anger, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need it, but I do, right?"
Although he did need it and wanted it.
But in this situation, how could he ask for it?
If we agree, the relationship between the two of them will still be a transactional one, right?
Gu Rong silently withdrew his hand, sat up, and looked at the tablet on the desk. This was brought by Ling Xiao. He didn't have a tablet, not even a computer. What he usually did was read various tutorial books. If he really needed to, he would go to the Internet cafe, or he could use the computer at the front desk of Yunshui River.
There is also this residence, which has one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, and the price is cheap. It is said that it is a welfare provided by the regulatory agency to omegas, but he is not so lucky.
It's just because of Ling Xiao's sake.
For the sake of Ling Xiao's family background.
Otherwise, how could Chen Fangzhao's affairs be handled so smoothly.
Ling Xiao never said anything, so Gu Rong pretended not to know.
Even when he and Ling Xiao mentioned the benefits provided by the Regulatory Bureau, Ling Xiao didn't say a word, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
The only thing that surprised Ling Xiao was probably that Gu Rong took the initiative to vaguely mention the inhibitor to the regulatory agency.
——When he realized that his current residence was thanks to the favor from Ling Xiao.
The matter of Chen Fangzhao was his plan to plot against Ling Xiao.
He admitted this.
But Gu Rong didn't want to rely on Ling Xiao for all the subsequent matters.
There are some things he still wants to solve on his own.
But it turned out that from the moment he took action, some things were beyond the scope of the three rules and were destined to involve more connections.
Covering your ears and stealing the bell, or deceiving yourself, will not work.
Things have already gone off the track and will only continue to go forward.
But fortunately, there is still a possibility of turning it back.
"Ling Xiao."
Gu Rong called Ling Xiao's name, turned his back to Ling Xiao, and continued, "I don't want to take online classes anymore."
"You go back."
Winter vacation usually lasts less than two months, and it is even shorter for high school seniors.
It’s almost Chinese New Year when I’m on holiday.
After visiting relatives after the Chinese New Year, there are basically not many days left.
Therefore, the most relaxing and happiest days are probably the short time before the New Year.
But this definitely does not include Ling Xiao.
When Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng knew that Ling Xiao had returned, they came to find him, wanting to go out and play with Ling Xiao. However, after they arrived, they found that Ling Xiao was not in a good mood, and even had a decadent temperament, as if he didn't want strangers to approach him, and there was a black air gathering on his head.
"What's going on, Brother Xiao?"
Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng looked at each other.
Jiang Kangcheng spoke again: "Didn't you go back with Gu Rong that day? You two?"
From Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng's perspective, Ling Xiao's return with Gu Rong was a major step forward. There should have been some progress, so why was Ling Xiao so downhearted now? It's only been a few days, what could have happened? And their brother Xiao, was he truly trapped in love?!
Ling Xiao didn't say anything and didn't want to answer this question.
What should he say? Was he kicked out by Gu Rong?
Before he could bear it any longer and asked to leave, Gu Rong took the initiative to drive him away.
Thank you so much.
Although a reason was given reluctantly, it was not very decent.
Ling Xiao has been thinking a lot these past two days.
When he stood at the balance point in the middle of the scale, Gu Rong could do whatever he wanted, fearlessly and openly, and he controlled him precisely and calculatedly.
But when he wanted to take a step forward, Gu Rong would take a step back.
But even if he doesn't move forward, Gu Rong will still slowly retreat into another world of his own.
In the "precognitive dream", what Gu Rong wanted was never love.
For him, interests are far more real and reliable than emotions.
That's why when you notice his emotions, you immediately want to avoid or even cut them off.
Because Gu Rong didn't believe him and didn't want him.
But Ling Xiao now has too few chips.
If a person just wants to stay in his shell, how can he break it open?
What's more, once the inhibitor is developed, Gu Rong will have even more reason not to need him.
He was even the one who proposed it in the first place.
Once the inhibitor is developed, there will be no relationship between them.
The road ahead was blocked, and Ling Xiao didn't know whether he should give up.
"Hey, Brother Xiao, there are plenty of beautiful women out there, why do you have to worry about your feelings?"
Ye Jiqing couldn't help but say, "Actually, I don't think that Gu Rong is right for you. Look, he's actually quite unpleasant, and he doesn't know how to be affectionate. Besides being a pretty and lovely omega, and having a 100% pheromone match with yours, he can't even say a nice word. It's obvious he needs to be coaxed."
"It's not that being coaxed isn't good. Sometimes it's also a kind of fun, but the problem is, there are so many omegas who are better than him. Why do you have to be so obsessed with just one, right, Brother Xiao?"
Jiang Kangcheng also nodded: "Honestly, Brother Xiao, you care so much about Gu Rong now, isn't it because you gave too many temporary marks?"
"This thing is addictive, and you two have top-tier pheromone compatibility, making it even more irresistible. It's just the possessiveness of an alpha, it's perfectly normal. If you stay away from him, maybe he'll recover. If I were to ask you, why don't you see each other during winter break? Wait until school starts and adjust your seats. That will definitely minimize the impact."
Ling Xiao paused while turning his phone and glanced at the two of them.
The two were excited by what they saw and started talking to each other.
To sum up, there is really no need to waste your energy on an omega like Gu Rong!
"Brother Xiao, we don't have any omega you want. As long as you're willing, there are plenty of little Os who want to date you, okay?"
"That's right, maybe Gu Rong also feels that he's not suitable for you. Oh, by the way, doesn't he have an alpha friend in his old school? Could he still be thinking about that alpha?"
Jiang Kangcheng touched his chin and said, "How is there a saying? The white moonlight is the hardest to forget. Besides, didn't they go through something together--"
"You two."
Ling Xiao's face darkened: "If you don't speak, no one will think you two are dumb."
"Then we are doing this for your own good."
"Yes, we are worried about you too."
Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng felt quite aggrieved.
Ling Xiao: "Listen to what you two are saying."
"Besides, I wouldn't do anything for Gu Rong, would I? I'm not that disrespectful—"
Before he could finish his words, Ling Xiao's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the sender's number, paused, and immediately swiped the screen of his phone and clicked on the message without saying anything else.
Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng were sitting on both sides of Ling Xiao. After they clicked on the message, a photo popped up instantly. They turned their heads and saw it directly.
"No, what is this?"
Ye Jiqing asked subconsciously.
In the photo, it was clearly Gu Rong standing with someone. That person...wasn't he the alpha they met in Yunshui River?!
"Brother Xiao, you..."
Jiang Kangcheng was also hesitant to speak, because he could see that the photo was obviously taken from a candid angle.
Who said that I wouldn't do anything for Gu Rong?
