In the quiet afternoon, Yu Zhen and Lin Gu lay head to head on the bed, the air filled with the fragrance of lilies.
Lin Gu suddenly opened his closed eyes, turned to look at Yu Zhen, and hesitated before saying, "I have a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time..."
"Hmm?" Yu Zhen closed her eyes, gesturing for him to continue.
Lin Gu sat up abruptly, turning her head to look at Yu Zhen. "Do you like Yu Wei? I'm not talking about the kind of liking between brothers..."
"He's my brother, your thoughts are so dirty." Yu Zhen rolled her eyes at him for free, turned her back to Lin Gu and thought for a moment, then turned back to look at Lin Gu and joked, "I have the same suspicion, do you like my brother?"
To everyone's surprise, Lin Gu suddenly became shy, her face turning bright red, and she stammered, "You...you...don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Gu jumped off the bed, coughed to cover his embarrassment, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a report to write, so I'll be going now."
Watching the hurriedly fleeing figure, Yu Zhen fell into deep thought.
What should I do if I fall for my brother's admirer? I need help urgently.
————This is a timeline————
"Tell me honestly, did you really like my brother when you were little?" Yu Zhen pinched Lin Gu's cheek and teased, "A scheming subordinate falling in love with a naive and innocent boss, Lin Xiao Gu, you're quite daring."
"To be honest, if your brother really is an Omega, not only me, but Qin Ge, Lin Chen, and Yun Mu would all have feelings for him." Lin Gu leaned against the bed, took a drag of his cigarette, and patted Yu Zhen's shoulder casually.
Yu Wei was so beautiful when she was a child, and she was always sickly. She was gentle, polite, and knew how to be considerate, perfectly matching the image of the white moonlight in every man's heart, which could easily arouse his protective instincts.
The two had worked together for several years, traversing deserts, Gobi, rainforests, and labyrinths, braving gunfire and bullets. They trusted each other implicitly, and their bond was unparalleled.
Moreover, the two come from similar family backgrounds and grew up together. They are a perfect match in every way. If they were to differentiate into omegas, they would be a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, Yu Wei was slow-witted, but it was also good that he was slow-witted that he didn't make a fool of himself.
“After you raised your question back then, I went to see a psychologist for consultation.”
At that time, Lin Gu was very distressed. He had unspeakable feelings for Yu Wei, but at the same time he couldn't help but want to get close to Yu Zhen, and even had the idea of completely possessing him. He suspected that he had developed feelings for Yu Wei because he could not have him.
The doctor used a lot of medical jargon, but explained in plain language that he had too much hormone and too much energy. He also developed the illusion that he liked Yu Wei when they got into trouble together during a mission.
Newly differentiated teenagers have difficulty controlling their pheromones, and coupled with an overly monotonous environment, they are prone to developing feelings for familiar people, confusing friendship with love.
As for his feelings for Yu Zhen, it was largely due to his protective instincts.
"So that's why you deliberately distanced yourself from your brother and changed partners every day?"
Yu Zhen found it funny. Back then, because of this incident, Yu Wei had even complained that Lin Gu had forgotten his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman, abandoning their years of friendship and understanding for an omega.
"Yes, I've realized that ever since I stopped going on missions with my brother, I don't have those strange feelings for him anymore."
Furthermore, after Yu Wei later differentiated into an Alpha, and at a much higher level than him, all he felt for Yu Wei was brotherhood and partnership.
But he could never understand what kind of feelings he had for Yu Zhen.
He didn't mind Yu Zhen getting close, and even felt excited by his advances, but he couldn't accept Yu Zhen's behavior of stringing him along while acting coquettishly with Yu Wei.
Yu Zhen likes Yu Wei and uses himself as a tool to provoke Yu Wei, a thought that frustrates Lin Gu.
After encountering Yu Zhen, who was in heat, at the bar, his rational mind told him that he should take Yu Zhen to the hospital, but he couldn't control himself.
He thought he might have fallen for Yu Zhen.
But why would he like him? He couldn't figure it out.
Before he could figure it out, Yu Zhen ran away and stayed away for two months, going on a trip with her classmates.
Yu Zhen was having a great time, while Lin Gu was in a daze all day long. Being thrown into the military training group didn't cheer him up.
Before leaving, he found Qin Ge, who knew everything, and asked, "Why do you think I like him?"
Qin Ge didn't give him an answer, only leaving behind a profound statement: "Liking someone doesn't need a reason."
"Don't you need it?"
"Do you need one?" Qin Ge looked at him meaningfully, "Ask your own heart, do you need a reason?"
"Does liking something need a reason?" Yu Zhen took the cigarette from Lin Gu's mouth, took a drag, and propped himself up. "Does liking something really need a reason?"
The air froze along with the sound, and dark red sparks devoured the cigarette butt.
Lin Gu took the cigarette butt from Yu Zhen's hand, stubbed it out, and casually threw it on the ground before pulling Yu Zhen into his arms.
"unnecessary."
Liking someone doesn't need a reason; it only needs that person, that person who makes your heart flutter.
