Chapter 48: Entangled Pheromones
After seeing this short message, Shen Wei edited the information;
[I was originally tagged by you just to deal with information censorship. To avoid trouble, I told people that my marital status was widowed.]
There's no need to dwell on this. Besides, I don't think there's any misunderstanding between us. I was very generous not to point a gun at you during this meeting.
【I hope you have the awareness of being a dead person.】
Chen Wei edited this text message with almost the best temper he had ever had.
Then send it.
Afterwards, he blocked Jiang Tyuan's messages.
Shen Wei threw away the communicator and went to take a shower.
The hot water soaked him from head to toe, making his entire body hot and dry.
Especially the area at the back of the neck.
Chen Wei bent his long arm and stretched out his fingers to touch that place.
Its presence can never be ignored.
The images of the past flooded his mind like a broken dam, quickly drowning him.
Until the whole bathroom was filled with hot steam and it was almost suffocating, Chen Wei walked out of the bathroom with a flushed body.
He walked into the room naked.
Water dripped down the tips of his hair, leaving a small circle of water on the carpet. He stepped on the floor barefoot, seemingly unaffected by the cold.
The fingertips, reddened by the steam, touched the cold and hard gun——
It's his sidearm.
As long as he pulled the trigger, any part of Jiang Yuan could be shot through.
But no.
Limited by the situation between the two of them, Chen Wei is unable to do this at the moment.
He thought there would be a chance.
From the moment they met again, Chen Wei was more shocked. Now, in the dead of night, his rationality returned.
When he closed his eyes, all he could see were the scenes from that time. From the moment he met Jiang Yuan, he was like a broken machine, unable to process any information.
Chen Wei opened his eyes in the darkness and looked into nothingness.
He was so embarrassed and out of control like this.
It seemed that his attitude towards Jiang Yuan was a little too nice, which allowed Jiang Yuan to take advantage of him.
Afterwards, Shen Wei averted his gaze.
He changed into his pajamas silently and lay down on the bed.
Thinking about Jiang Yuan, Shen Wei fell into a deep sleep.
Maybe because I was too busy today, I slept particularly deeply.
Shen Wei was awakened by a robot.
It had been a while since I received the communication shock from the leadership.
He cleared his throat and called back immediately.
After a while, the leader explained the task to Shen Wei in a concise and clear manner through communication.
Tonight is the celebration banquet for the interstellar military parade, hosted by the "Erhai" planet. Chen Wei is required to lead Jiang Yuan and his party to attend the dinner.
Demonstrating the strength of the Evil Planet in front of Jiang Yuan and his group—
Even though it was a barren planet in the past, it has now developed extremely well and is fully capable of becoming a partner of aliens.
Shen Wei's mind worked quickly, and he came out of the trance he had just woken up from.
He replied, "Okay."
After hanging up the call, Shen Wei thought that he had blocked Jiang Yuan last night.
He needed to accurately find Jiang Yuan in the communicator's trash can.
Shen Wei was a little upset, but this was a task assigned by his superiors and he had to complete it.
The trash station is full of various messages, and the notes are all from unfamiliar users.
Shen Wei felt insulted to read the intercepted text message for even a second.
There are many fanatical confessions in the trash can.
Chen Wei endured the discomfort, suppressed his anger, and accurately dug Jiang Yuan's users out of the garbage station.
After blocking, the previous chat history will disappear.
Shen Wei also couldn't see Jiang Yuan's reaction last night.
Chen Wei gritted his teeth and typed out the invitation letter word by word.
Then sent it to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan responded quickly.
[Unknown user: The location is a bit vague, we don’t know the way very well.]
Chen Wei could almost guess what Jiang Yuan would say next.
So he dared to send a text message before Jiang Yuan.
【There will be a dedicated person to pick you up. 】
Concise and powerful.
Chen Wei wanted to block Jiang Yuan again, but thinking of the official business he had to deal with, he suppressed the urge.
The rare vacation was ruined again.
Shen Wei quickly changed into his uniform and headed to the training ground.
The current interstellar situation is relatively peaceful. He has no front-line missions to perform, and his daily tasks are arranged by his superiors. This period of time is relatively easy, and he can just train the soldiers.
He was not assigned to do the reception task during the day, so there was no need to worry about running into Jiang Yuan during the day.
Shen Wei was so absorbed in his work that he almost forgot about the existence of this person, feeling fulfilled and relaxed.
However, when you are working hard, time flies by.
When Chen Wei looked up from the recruit company, it was already dark.
Chen Wei lowered his eyes to look at the time.
It's a little late.
He quickly rushed to the dormitory and changed into his uniform.
On the other side, the dinner is about to begin.
Jiang Yuan and his group arrived at the guild hall in advance. The entire guild hall was decorated magnificently, with elegantly dressed people coming and going. The well-known figures in the interstellar space were walking around in it, and most of them were top-level Alphas.
Jiang Yuan was talking to someone, but his eyes moved to the side uncontrollably.
The reason is simple: he didn't see Chen Wei.
He quickly ended the conversation with the other party and didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's gloomy face.
Some people also wanted to come forward and negotiate with him. After all, Jiang Yuan was the regional governor, and any cooperation with the planet had to be discussed with this governor.
Such a dinner is a good time to exchange resources.
After evaluation, Jiang Yuan believed that none of these planets had the potential for cooperation. He had other things on his mind, so he could only apologize and leave the crowded place, leaving this social evaluation activity to his subordinates for the time being.
He walked towards the second floor platform.
A shadow appeared in front of him, and Jiang Yuan looked up.
The person who came was Bai Xu.
Jiang Yuan was being looked at by him, but he did not show any panic, and still said calmly: "Have you seen Chen Wei?"
"He doesn't want to talk to you."
Bai Xu glanced at him.
"We don't need you to pass messages between us."
Jiang Yuan looked up at him, but the oppressive feeling on him did not diminish at all. That was the hierarchy rule among Alphas.
Bai Xu is not as high-ranking as Jiang Yuan, whether in terms of gender or position. Even if he is standing on the upper step and looking down at Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan still has the confidence to confront him.
Jiang Yuan's eyes were almost indifferent, but there was a hint of warning in them.
He was constantly interrupted by Bai Xu, whose feelings for Chen Wei were almost written on his face, and he showed an unhappy look on his face.
"Adjutant Bai, you have always been the superfluous one."
Jiang Yuan stated the facts indifferently.
Bai Xu responded coldly: "Really?"
"Does Shen Wei know what you said?"
"Adjutant Bai, there's nothing to discuss between us."
Jiang Yuan stepped on a step. With just a little force, Bai Xu would be pushed back.
Two Alphas are facing each other.
People around also looked at me.
After a moment, Bai Xu finally moved to the side.
He was wearing the uniform of the planet Erhai. He had to think twice about every move he made in this occasion. Everything he did represented the planet Erhai.
Jiang Yuan raised his foot and walked upwards.
Bai Xu called out to him from behind.
"Jiang Yuan."
Jiang Yuan seemed not to hear and did not stop moving.
"Colonel Shen gave me a bottle of wine. Are you interested in getting it for me?"
Jiang Yuan paused and looked at him sideways.
"I need to receive some guests here, so I have to trouble you."
There was no hint of trouble in Bai Xu's tone.
Jiang Yuan seemed to be hooked by his words.
He asked, "What kind of wine?"
Bai Xu said, "You'll know if you help me get it. It doesn't seem to be very easy to get. On our fourth anniversary, he went to great lengths to get it and gave it to me."
Jiang Yuan said indifferently, "Four years, and I only gave you a bottle of wine?"
Bai Xu:......
But in the end, Jiang Yuan accepted Bai Xu's provocation.
He followed the waiter to get the wine.
The wine cellar was very large, and Jiang Yuan followed the trembling waiter.
God knows how scary it is when a distinguished guest with the title of regional governor comes to get the wine in person.
The waiter could only try his best to keep his voice steady and pointed to the wine bottle placed at the highest point.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan was about to take it himself, the waiter tactfully helped him take the bottle down from the highest place.
Jiang Yuan took the wine and walked out of the wine cellar.
He sent the waiter away and opened the wine box in the corner presumptuously.
A moment later, Jiang Yuan, carrying the wine box, walked towards the second-floor platform in front of everyone's surprised gaze.
Bai Xu is talking to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei was dressed simply, and his spirit emanated from him. The collar of his uniform was tied tightly, and the glands on the back of his neck were hidden under the fabric.
While looking around, Jiang Yuan had already approached the two of them.
Chen Wei walked away, as if he didn't want to stay in the same place with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan handed the wine box to Bai Xu and quickly followed.
Bai Xu was suddenly interrupted and was in a bad mood. When he opened the wine box and saw a pile of fragments, he became even more upset.
The wine bottle in the wine box broke into pieces, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air. The wine that had been treasured for four years was shattered by Jiang Yuan.
He cursed in his heart, how sinister.
Chen Wei didn't know that Bai Xu had provoked Jiang Yuan, nor did he know that Jiang Yuan had retaliated against Bai Xu.
He walked to the toilet alone.
He smelled the pheromone on Jiang Yuan.
The marks from many years ago are stirring again.
A numbness started from the back of the neck and extended to the limbs.
Shen Wei hates himself now.
He barely made it past the crowd and headed towards the restroom.
Pushing the door open, I found the bathroom was spacious and there was no peculiar smell.
Shen Wei loosened his collar.
The tight collar caused some pain in his glands.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his face pale and disheveled.
Shen Wei tried to splash water on himself to keep himself awake.
A voice sounded behind me.
Someone came in.
Shen Wei stared at the mirror intently.
Jiang Yuan's ghost is still around and has followed us here.
Jiang Yuan took a step forward.
The leather shoes knocked on the ground, making a sound.
It was like stepping on Shen Wei's sanity again and again.
"Chen Wei."
Jiang Yuan's voice echoed in the space, with an almost gentle and low feeling, reaching Shen Wei's eardrum directly.
Every syllable struck a nerve in him.
The fingers hanging at his sides curled up, and the fingertips turned white from exerting too much force. Chen Wei looked at Jiang Yuan in the mirror.
The banquet had already begun, but the excitement was isolated outside, and the sounds outside the toilet were vague and distant.
This isn't a good place to chat.
Chen Wei also didn't want to reminisce with Jiang Yuan.
He gently turned sideways to face Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan's feet moved accordingly.
"Make way."
Chen Wei's voice was a little low at this moment, and the ending tone was a little hoarse.
Jiang Yuan did not answer. His eyes swept across Chen Wei's face inch by inch, from his slightly upturned eyes, to his straight nose, to his mouth that was stretched into a straight line. His whole body was full of defensiveness.
Finally, his gaze fell on the uncovered back of Shen Wei's neck and lingered for a moment.
There was no naked desire in that gaze, only an almost calm scrutiny, which fell directly on the gland that he had once marked.
The atmosphere was stagnant.
There was a cruel look in Chen Wei's eyes. He did not retreat, but faced Jiang Yuan directly. Faced with Jiang Yuan's provocative action, he leaned forward.
Jiang Yuan also took a step forward.
The distance between the two of them was already at the critical point of social etiquette. If they moved any closer, Chen Wei would be able to sense Jiang Yuan's breath.
There was silence in the space.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Yuan called his name again, "Chen Wei."
"roll."
"What is your relationship with Bai Xu?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"have."
"Jiang Yuan, I'm warning you, don't push your luck. Don't challenge my bottom line by taking advantage of the fact that I can't do anything to you right now."
Jiang Yuan remained stubborn, seemingly unable to understand the clear warning in Shen Wei's words.
"Is he pursuing you?"
Shen Wei's patience had run out, and he lowered his voice and shouted, "Get out of the way."
He raised his foot to the right, and Jiang Yuan followed suit, standing in front of Shen Wei.
"But does he know that your glands bear my mark?"
The tone of the statement reminded Shen Wei of what had happened before, which undoubtedly revealed Shen Wei's long-standing disguise.
The rich smell of rain leaked out and climbed in the space.
Chen Wei's pupils suddenly shrank as the overwhelming hatred and humiliation almost overwhelmed his rationality. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled with anger.
He suppressed the trembling of his body and punched the face that was so close to him.
Jiang Yuan dodged sideways.
Shen Wei no longer backed down. He lowered his voice and asked, "How dare you bring up what happened back then?"
He panted, feeling Jiang Yuan's pheromones like a poisonous snake, wrapping around his glands and drilling into his glands.
The pheromones suddenly became strong, carrying a strong sense of possessiveness!
The mark deep inside the gland seemed to be tempting Shen Wei—
He was asked to let go of his hatred and find a way to get the mark of the Alpha in front of him.
Disdain and anger were evident in his subdued voice: "I still haven't come to terms with you about the secondary polarization incident."
Chen Wei had already touched the pistol at his waist.
Jiang Yuan met Chen Wei's sharp and angry gaze, his eyes still deep and calm.
At this distance, Chen Wei seemed to be able to catch the moment of hesitation in his eyes.
Jiang Yuan seemed to be recalling the past. After a moment, he finally seemed to remember and said, "It was a misunderstanding."
But Fang Yangxu once told Shen Wei that it was Jiang Yuan who put the inducer in his water.
At that time, only Jiang Yuan could do it!
What's more, the one who attacked him at the hospital gate was also an Alpha.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan looked directly into Chen Wei's eyes and said, "I don't know what your evidence is. What can directly prove that your secondary differentiation was caused by me?"
Jiang Yuan's counter-question seemed like a pre-set procedure, and he seemed to have thought of his words long ago.
"Misunderstand?"
Chen Wei uttered a very light, mocking sneer.
He drew his gun and put the muzzle to Jiang Yuan's throat, no longer trying to hide his hatred.
"Stop your nonsense!"
Shen Wei lowered his voice, "Ever since I bullied you, you've been targeting me. Don't think I don't know that you want to take revenge on me!"
Jiang Yuan was exposed by Chen Wei, and darker and deeper emotions surged up.
His gaze finally changed, no longer a calm scrutiny, but a sticky, almost greedy desire.
He was held at bay by the cold metal muzzle of a gun, and finally uttered a word: "Even if it's not a misunderstanding, have you...never thought of another possibility?"
"Another possibility?"
The ambiguous pheromone wrapped around his body.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, causing Shen Wei's limbs to stiffen.
At that moment, Chen Wei suddenly understood the disgusting subtext hidden beneath Jiang Yuan's words. This was even more disgusting than the excuse of "revenge"!
Jiang Yuan wanted to possess me.
Inducing secondary differentiation, just to possess him? !
The humiliation suddenly erupted, sweeping away Shen Wei's sanity.
His fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was about to pull the trigger!
Someone was passing by the door.
The gun has no silencer!
Chen Wei put away his service pistol as quickly as possible, raised his hand suddenly, but instead of attacking, he grabbed Jiang Yuan's collar!
Jiang Yuan was forced to lean forward.
The expensive suit was tightly grasped in Shen Wei's hand, with such force that Jiang Yuan could only close the distance between him and Shen Wei in this position.
Shen Wei's eyes were bloodshot because he was extremely angry.
His warning burst out of his mouth, filled with overwhelming hatred and cold warning.
"Put away those disgusting possibilities of yours! Jiang Yuan, I'm warning you—"
"If I had the chance, I would really kill you."
"From today on, stay away from me."
"If you touch me with your disgusting pheromones again, I don't mind gouging out your glands bit by bit, along with the places where you touched me."
Even though Jiang Yuan was treated like this, he did not resist, and could even be considered obedient. He just stared intently at Shen Wei's face, which was full of anger.
There was no fear or anger in his eyes, only an admiration that was almost obsessive.
It seemed as if the deep resentment and threats were all acceptable to him.
The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth even curled up slightly, forming an almost imperceptible arc.
Like...very satisfied.
The chill went straight into Shen Wei's heart, making him feel cold all over. This didn't seem like a normal person's reaction at all!
Chen Wei suddenly shook his hand away, as if he was shaking off something extremely filthy. He stepped back in disgust and buttoned the collar of his uniform.
He looked at Jiang Yuan with hatred, as if he was looking at a monster crawling out of the abyss.
Taking advantage of Jiang Yuan's moment of distraction, Chen Wei walked to the side, finally opened the door of the toilet and walked out.
The inhibitors seemed to be losing their effect, and his glands were stirring.
In the toilet, Jiang Yuan was still standing there, with clear wrinkles on his collar where Chen Wei had gripped it. He raised his hand, faced the mirror, slowly stretched out his hand, and very slowly, with almost gentle force, smoothed out the wrinkle.
His throat rolled slightly, and the faint smell of cardamom mixed with the smell of rain in the air.
His pheromones and Shen Wei's were silently entangled.
