After expressing his views, Yun Ming no longer paid attention to the developments on social networks.
He did not expect Zhuang Li's response.
In his opinion, this person agreed to his proposal because they shared the same ideals and were in the same situation. Otherwise, they might never be together.
However, he was completely wrong.
Zhuang Li's response came quickly and passionately, like a bunch of blooming roses suddenly opening up in the field of vision.
At this moment, Yun Ming actually smelled the dizzying fragrance of roses through the light screen. It was thick and sweet, melting into his heart like honey, and then flowing through his blood throughout his body, exuding a warm and lazy feeling.
At this moment, Yun Ming's heart, which was always in a state of frenzy, became as calm as the water in a hot spring pool.
He relaxed completely, leaning back in his chair, staring at a lamp on the ceiling, smiling inexplicably.
The world had become completely different with Zhuang Li's appearance, transforming from empty and boring to beautiful and vibrant. Yun Ming, who had been isolated from the world, unexpectedly began to feel a deep sense of acceptance and tolerance.
He began to integrate into this world where he was originally out of place.
He was immersed in this wonderful feeling and couldn't help himself. He silently recalled the words of love, and the fragrance in his nose became strong and sweet.
After living for more than thirty years, he discovered for the first time how beautiful the world was.
Just then, Dr. Zhuang sent a private message: [Come here, I want to check your body.]
Yun Ming, who had set a special reminder tone for his fiancé, quickly opened his eyes, read the letter in a panic, then put on his coat and rushed to his destination on an airship, almost running a red light.
Half an hour later, Yun Ming trotted into Zhuang Li's laboratory, adjusting his military cap and tie as he walked, fearing that he would look disheveled.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Li was carefully styling his hair in front of a floor-length mirror, smoothing out the curls on his forehead until they were perfectly curved.
Yun Ming ran into the laboratory and saw this scene: "..."
At this moment, he couldn't help but smile, not because of Zhuang Li's conceit, but because of this indescribable sense of familiarity. He almost couldn't suppress the urge in his heart and ran over to hug him tightly.
Zhuang Li spotted him through the mirror, smiled softly and said, "You're here."
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other, without any of the awkwardness or embarrassment of just meeting each other.
"Have you had a physical examination recently?" Zhuang Li turned around and asked the question that concerned him most.
"Yes, this is my physical examination report." Yun Ming had nothing to hide, so he immediately projected the information onto the light screen.
"My physical examination report just came out." Zhuang Li projected his own report as well.
The two reports were displayed side by side, and the situations were surprisingly similar: both presented with severe endocrine disorders and gradual organ failure. In this world, glands were as important as the brain, secreting various hormones to ensure the normal functioning of the human body.
Damage to the gland can often have fatal consequences.
Yun Ming had long since accepted the reality of his impending death, so he had never felt any fear. But now, his fingertips trembled with fear, not for himself, but for the person beside him.
He thought of the culprit Ouyang Mingtang, and an extremely strong murderous intent surged in his calm heart.
But in front of his fiancé, he never showed any of these negative emotions. He just silently held the other's hand and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, let's go together from now on."
Zhuang Li also held his hand tightly and said lightly: "Well, we still have a long way to go. I'm not afraid."
After understanding the human body structure in this world, Zhuang Li had already developed a self-rescue plan, so he was not worried about the so-called lifespan issue at all.
Instead, he became very interested in his lover's anosmia.
"Can you smell nothing?" he asked curiously.
"I can smell all common smells, but I can't smell the smell emitted by glands." Yun Ming answered frankly.
"You can't smell any glandular odor?" Zhuang Li walked to the constant temperature cabinet, took out a test tube marked with the three English letters CJL, placed it on his lover's nose, and gently fanned the air at the mouth of the tube.
"Can you smell this?"
Yun Ming sniffed carefully, then shook his head: "I can't smell it."
Zhuang Li took out a test tube labeled CJL-Fragrans (Osmanthus fragrans), placed it to his lover's nose, and continued to fan it. "Can you smell this?"
"I can't smell it." Yun Ming still shook his head.
Zhuang Li took out a test tube labeled CJL- Gardenia jasminoides.
Yun Ming still shook his head.
After trying seven or eight kinds of synthetic pheromone scents in a row, Yun Ming shook his head. It seemed that he was not affected by pheromones at all.
Zhuang Li was very adventurous. He walked over to Yun Ming and gently sniffed his hair. He mused, "It's said that alphas and omegas with a high degree of compatibility can smell each other as long as they get close enough. I want to know what you smell like."
Yun Ming's eyes darkened and he shook his head stiffly: "I have no smell. I was born with a disability."
"No, I think I smell you." Zhuang Li suddenly hugged his neck, pressed his mouth and nose against the back of his neck, and whispered softly while spraying hot air on him: "I smell the odor of sulfur, rust, and metal. It's like a battlefield, fighting in your body."
Yun Ming's eyes darkened.
These smells didn't sound pleasant. Was it the smell of gunpowder and blood he had brought back from the border planet? If I had known this, I should have taken a shower before coming here.
However, Zhuang Li hugged his lover's neck tightly, took a deep breath, and hummed intoxicatedly: "I like this smell. It's very strong and dangerous, like the embers after a volcanic eruption, like the surging waves of lava. I'm about to be burned by it."
He tilted his head slightly, revealing his face buried in his lover's neck. The corners of his narrow eyes were dyed with a charming crimson, like a drunk playboy, revealing an astonishing decadence and richness.
He pressed his bright red lips against his lover's already hot ear and whispered hoarsely, "I love your smell."
Yun Ming's brain has been turned into paste by these sweet words.
In the midst of a chaotic desire, he actually smelled a strange fragrance, which was emitted from his fiancé's constantly opening and closing crimson lips. It was very sweet, like fresh fruit; yet very beautiful, like a blooming flower, and after layers of blending, it also released the spiciness of Litsea cubeba and the mellowness of resin.
This extremely sweet, mysterious, and spicy smell can arouse endless imagination and completely matches Yun Ming's imagination of Zhuang Li.
"I love your smell, too." He hugged the young man who was wrapped around him into his arms and responded in a hoarse voice.
Zhuang Li asked curiously, "What do I smell like?" He knew, of course, that he had no smell, but he had no doubt about his lover's words.
There's an ability called synaesthesia that connects a person's vision, hearing, smell, and taste. Even if the nose can't smell anything, people can still create a scent in their brain based on what they see, taste, think, and imagine.
Zhuang Li could imagine the smell of his lover, so naturally he also wanted to know what he smelled like in the other person's heart.
Yun Ming's ears flushed as he described the fragrance he smelled.
Zhuang Li put his arms around his neck and whispered, "It sounds beautiful."
Then, he extended his slender fingertips, gently traced his lover's thin lips, and slowly asked: "Do you want to know what it feels like when our scents blend together?"
Yun Ming stared at his fiancé, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he was so nervous that he lost his voice.
"How to merge?" After a long time, he finally uttered a word with difficulty.
"Like this." Zhuang Li slowly approached, gently took it in his mouth, pried open the gap between his teeth, and inserted the tip of his tongue...
The intense aroma after peeling the shell completely and unreservedly invaded Yun Ming's mouth, causing his brain to explode with fireworks. He was instantly sucked into this psychedelic dream, intoxicated by the rich, aromatic world.
The blood in his body boiled, desire roared in his heart, and his dormant body burst out with amazing energy.
He suddenly tightened his arms, hugged his fiancé tightly, took the initiative, and responded to the kiss madly.
The smell of rust, sulfur, and metal slowly blends with the aroma of fruit, flowers, and wood, forming an extremely aggressive smell, like a sharp knife piercing the heart, drawing out a handful of thick blood to water a rose, making it bloom in darkness and fire.
Yun Ming was intoxicated by this deadly fragrance.
He finally understood the feeling of an alpha going crazy for his Omega.
Zhuang Li kissed his lover and stroked his hair, smiling and whispering in between breaths: "Can you smell us? Hmm?"
His long, graceful ending tone was like a catalyst, giving the fragrance a drug-like magical charm.
Yun Ming had no intention of answering. He held his fiancé's head and eagerly asked for the next kiss, and then the next kiss.
Zhuang Li would chuckle softly every time he took a breath, driving his lover deeper into madness.
"I'm going to make our scent into perfume and call it Sacred Union." After the last kiss, Zhuang Li bit the tip of his lover's ear teasingly.
Yun Ming's barely conscious mind was now in complete disarray. He carried his fiancé on his shoulders, strode into the lounge, and concocted the perfume on the spot.

Meanwhile, Yun Ming's Weibo post sparked a huge online reaction. The people of the Empire had no idea that their God of War only had five years left to live!
This is really the worst possible news. You know, the Zerg have mutated again, becoming bigger, taller, and stronger, while the rate of human evolution has remained stagnant.
The Empire's ability to maintain its undefeated streak on the battlefield was entirely due to Yun Ming's leadership. If he died, and the young generals failed to mature, what would the Empire do?
The situation has become very serious.
Politically sensitive citizens were plunged into anxiety. Wu Yuhuai's previous Weibo post, implying that Zhuang Li would not live long, was dug up and severely criticized.
"If it weren't for Commander Yun Ming fighting on the front lines despite his illness, what right would you have to talk about 'you can't survive without glands'? You'd be fucking dead long ago! Ignorant idiot!" This was an extremely angry message from an alpha.
He has turned against Wu Yuhuai's fans.
Influenced by him, many alphas stopped following Wu Yuhuai. Having also contracted the same disease, the public didn't care about Zhuang Li's life or death, but felt truly sad for Yun Ming.
However, within the imperial leadership, the situation was completely the opposite. Yu Guangzhong assembled a top medical team, working day and night to research ways to prolong Zhuang Li's life.
The indestructible needle was still a completely unknown existence to them. Even after exhausting all possible testing methods, they were unable to analyze the molecular structure of the metal.
If Zhuang Li died, the empire would lose its strongest fighting force to conquer the universe.
To put it bluntly, his value is far greater than Yun Ming's.

Chen Jingliu, who knew nothing about Zhuang Li, came to the prison to visit Ouyang Mingtang.
The two looked at each other through the glass window, one with a happy expression, the other calm and quiet.
"Yun Ming is born unable to smell pheromones, and he only has five years to live. After his death, the military will be in urgent need of strong people like you. After all, people with 3S physique are rare. If I handle it properly, I should be able to obtain a pardon for you." Chen Jingliu said slowly.
Ouyang Mingtang was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, "No wonder Yun Ming wanted to retire early."
"Yes, so don't worry, I will rescue you soon." Chen Jingliu warned seriously.
Ouyang Mingtang pounded the table and laughed heartily. He then gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not in a hurry. When I get out, I'll crush that bitch Zhuang Li to death with my own hands!"
