Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin couldn't sit still any longer: "Why did our compatibility score increase?"
"That's a question for you to answer." Zhou Muyun glared at Gu Zhilin, annoyed.
"Normally, the pheromone compatibility should not change. The few cases where it does change are usually due to a harmonious relationship between the couple after marriage, resulting in a slight increase after the pheromones have blended."
"Your growth rate is not small. It means that your genes are being influenced by General Lu, and your relationship with him is getting better and better."
Gu Zhilin was completely dumbfounded and panicked: "What do you mean my genes have accepted him? Dr. Zhou, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhou Muyun rolled her eyes: "Don't you know I never talk nonsense? I always speak with facts."
Gu Zhilin knew this, which is why he panicked so much when Zhou Muyun said it.
"Could something be wrong? Aren't my pheromones different?"
“Your pheromones are different, but given the nature of your pheromones, you should be increasingly repelling his pheromones. But the situation is exactly the opposite.” Zhou Muyun was no longer willing to explain. The omega she had awakened didn’t seem to realize that she was about to be successfully conquered.
Gu Zhilin then looked at Lu Jin'an nervously: "General Lu, I swear to the ancestor that I have absolutely no improper thoughts about you. This situation is definitely not my fault. The choice of genes has nothing to do with me."
Lu Jin'an, who was secretly pleased by Zhou Muyun's words, was both annoyed and amused by Gu Zhilin's words.
His dark eyes were fixed on Gu Zhilin, trying to detect even the slightest hint of guilt in the other's gaze.
But Gu Zhilin's eyes were clear and his gaze was firm.
There wasn't a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Muyun felt much better.
It now appears that this person's genes were chosen to be Lu Jin'an's, but the person himself is not aware of it at all.
Suddenly, he felt a pang of sympathy for Lu Jin'an's plight: "No matter what, the longer you two are together, the better your feelings... the better your relationship will be, and your compatibility may even increase."
"As the pheromone compatibility increases, the mutual influence will intensify, so you two need to be careful to control your pheromones."
After saying that, he prepared to leave: "Everything else is fine. I've already prepared some inhibitors for you. Remember to take them with you when you leave. I'm going to check on the Martian Assassin first."
"General Lu can come over in a bit to find out about the current situation of the Martian assassins."
After saying that, she ignored the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two of them and left the observation room on her own.
After Zhou Muyun left, Gu Zhilin felt even more uneasy.
I've been completely honest and upright, but now I'm being told that my genes have already chosen someone.
Are genes really that capricious?
"Lu Jin'an, are we no longer suitable to be partners given the current situation?" he asked, somewhat dejectedly.
"Why?" Lu Jin'an frowned. Things were clearly going in a good direction, but now this person was saying that he didn't want to be her partner anymore.
"You heard it too, the longer we spend together, the higher our pheromone compatibility will be."
“Hmm, what’s wrong with that? Increased pheromone compatibility will increase our chemistry, and the compatibility of our warships will also increase,” Lu Jin’an said, staring into Gu Zhilin’s eyes.
Gu Zhilin was almost flustered by that look: "But... this will also affect our relationship! Besides, you have someone you like. If your sweetheart finds that our information is too mismatched, he will be worried."
Lu Jin'an nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed."
"So... the best way is for us to reduce contact so that we won't be affected by pheromones. Our relationship will still be that of good friends, and you don't need to worry about your sweetheart misunderstanding." Gu Zhilin said logically.
But Lu Jin'an gave a soft "hmm": "I do hope my sweetheart can misunderstand, or rather, it wasn't a misunderstanding at all."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhilin didn't understand what he meant.
However, her heart was unconsciously racing because Lu Jin'an was different from usual.
Lu Jin'an's gaze towards him was still gentle.
But it's not just gentleness; it's more like looking at prey you like.
I like...
Gu Zhilin dared not think too much about it.
He instinctively took a step back, but he was sitting on the hospital bed with the wall behind him, so there was nowhere to retreat.
Lu Jin'an did not give Gu Zhilin a chance to back down.
He leaned closer, looking intently into Gu Zhilin's eyes: "I wasn't planning to say this now, but... I think I can't help it."
Gu Zhilin felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat; he seemed to know what the other person wanted to say.
It turns out that the possibility I had unintentionally dismissed before was actually true.
He wanted to stop Lu Jin'an from continuing.
But it didn't work.
"Because the person I love has always been by my side, and that is you!" Lu Jin'an's voice was very low, so low that it carried a hint of pleading.
Gu Zhilin was stunned by these words and didn't know what to do. His eyes were already drawn to Lu Jin'an's eyes.
Because at this moment, Lu Jin'an only had eyes for him; the man's eyes were as beautiful as black jade.
But at that moment, those beautiful eyes only saw himself.
And the person looking at him with deep affection was the one who had just confessed his love to him.
"You...I...aren't we just partners? You said you just wanted to find a partner." Gu Zhilin said, somewhat angrily.
Because the other party said that they didn't come to me because they listened to the so-called "end-brain" and wanted to be my partner, but rather because they wanted to find a suitable partner.
That's why he made Lu Jin'an's request.
But now Lu Jin'an has actually confessed his feelings to him.
Although Gu Zhilin's words indicated that she had been rejected, Lu Jin'an was not discouraged. Instead, she explained to herself clearly, "When I first approached you, I really just wanted to find a partner of my own."
"I'm not lying about this. At first, I really only saw you as a friend and a partner. But later... the more I tried to avoid you, the more I wanted to get closer to you, and the more I liked you... This is something I can't control."
This was the first time Gu Zhilin had been confessed to so directly. Hearing the words "I like you" made him tremble all over.
But the other person told me so earnestly that they only liked me because of getting to know me.
"Could it be that you've made a mistake? Is it because of the brain's manipulation that you have the illusion that you like me?" He tried to find an excuse for Lu Jin'an's feelings.
