Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Do you have the ability to shout again?
Fu Xu's breathing was still light, just as he had just woken up, and it brushed across Chen Louchen's collarbone like a feather.
Chen Louchen froze in place, his golden pupils reflecting the faint green shadows under the boy's eyes.
These days, Fu Xu often stayed up late with him, then woke up early to make breakfast. His mind felt like a tangled mass of wool. Memories that should have blurred with the pheromone burst were now eerily clear: him shrinking into a little tiger the size of a cat, curling up at the corner of Fu Xu's desk and hooking his tail around her ankle; when A Shan rubbed against Fu Xu's trouser leg, he deliberately threw the beef strips far away, just to get Fu Xu to lower her head and coax him; and last night, he hugged her and begged for a kiss, burying his face in Fu Xu's chest and calling her "wife"...
His Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and the tips of Chen Louchen's ears instantly felt hot, and even the skin on the back of his neck turned slightly red. He subconsciously wanted to turn his face away, but forgot that he was still holding Fu Xu. His movement was a little too big, causing the person in his arms to let out a soft "hmm".
Fu Xu raised her eyes, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings covered in morning dew before opening them. As usual, she rubbed against someone's chest, her voice soft and sticky, "Honey, why are you awake? Are you cold?"
The word "husband" was like a small stone, which unexpectedly hit Chen Louchen's heart.
He suddenly held his breath, and his body tightened his arms before his brain did, holding Fu Xu tighter in his arms.
When he heard this name before, he only felt it was sweet, and he wanted Fu Xu to call him a few more times; but now that he was awake, all those childish, possessive actions came to his mind, and he did not feel repulsed. Instead, his throat tightened, and even his fingertips felt hot.
Chen Louchen opened his mouth and wanted to respond, but found that his voice was a little hoarse. He cleared his throat and deliberately softened his tone, imitating his previous ignorant tone, but the ending tone could not help but tremble: "No, not cold." After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes, not even daring to tremble his eyelashes, for fear that Fu Xu would see the flaw.
He could feel Fu Xu's fingers gently touching his cheek, with a slightly cool temperature on his fingertips, as if to confirm whether he was still awake.
"Then sleep a little longer," Fu Xu's voice was as light as a sigh, "You have an exam today, you just be good at home, Ashan will accompany you." After saying that, he slowly withdrew from Chen Louchen's arms and carefully moved to the other side of the bed, for fear of waking up the person who "is not awake yet."
When the quilt was lifted, a chill penetrated into Chen Louchen's neck. He realized belatedly that he hadn't felt it when he was holding Fu Xu just now, but now that he had left, it felt like the warmth in his body had been drained away, and even his fingertips had become cold.
Reason told him to continue pretending to sleep, but his body moved first. Almost by instinct, Chen Louchen reached out and grabbed Fu Xu's wrist, pulling him back into his arms.
This time he didn't dare to use the same clingy strength as before, but just gently circled Fu Xu's waist and put his cheek against his back. Fu Xu's pajamas were made of cotton, and they stuck softly to his body, making Chen Louchen feel inexplicably at ease.
His hand unconsciously reached into Fu Xu's pajamas, his fingertips touching the other's warm waist and abdomen, stroking slowly. The skin felt delicate and had the softness unique to young people. Chen Louchen's heartbeat quickened a little, and even his breathing became lighter.
Fu Xu seemed stunned for a moment, but didn't push him away. He just said "hmm" softly, as if he accepted his dependence. Until the breathing of the person in his arms became steady again, Chen Louchen dared to open his eyes. His golden pupils glowed in the dim light. He stared at the back of Fu Xu's head, his heart in a mess: I should feel embarrassed, but why... I can't bear to let go?
The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains, fell on the carpet, and cast Ashan's furry shadow.
Fu Xu woke up early and climbed out of Chen Louchen's arms quietly. Not wanting to wake him up, he got up and put on a light white home suit, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his slender wrists.
When he walked into the kitchen, Ashan immediately followed him with his tail wagging, rubbing his head against his trouser leg and making a coquettish "woooo" sound in his throat.
Fu Xu squatted down with a smile and touched Ashan's head. The Bernese Mountain's fur was soft and dense, and his palm could feel its warm body temperature.
“I’ll pour you some dog food later,” he rubbed Ah Shan’s ears, “I have to take an exam today, can you stay at home with Mr. Shen?”
Ashan seemed to understand, licked the palm of his hand, and wagged his tail even more happily.
When Fu Xu brought the fried eggs and milk to the table, Chen Louchen slowly emerged from the room. He was wearing a loose, light gray sweatshirt, and his hair was a bit messy, with the strands of hair hanging down from his forehead, obscuring a bit of his golden pupils. He was deliberately feigning laziness, afraid that Fu Xu would notice he had already woken up. Seeing Fu Xu setting the table, he immediately walked over, wrapped his arms around Fu Xu's waist as usual, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm hungry."
Fu Xu's body stiffened for a moment, then he gently patted his back: "Sit down first, it will be ready soon."
Chen Louchen let go of his hand and walked to the dining table to sit down, but his eyes kept following Fu Xu's figure. He watched Fu Xu bend down to pour dog food for A Shan, and when A Shan leaned over to eat, he deliberately stretched out his foot and gently kicked A Shan's butt.
Ashan barked in dissatisfaction, but still did not dare to resist. He just moved towards Fu Xu.
Fu Xu saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Don't bully it."
Chen Louchen curled his lips and said nothing, but when Fu Xu turned around, he quickly gave Ashan a "warning" look.
He looked just as childish as he was when he was vying for favor before, and he didn't even notice it.
When Fu Xu finished breakfast and picked up his schoolbag to go out, Chen Louchen spoke: "Good luck on the exam." He said it a little stiffly, afraid that his tone would be too natural and reveal the fact that he was sober.
Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, her eyes curved into crescents: "I know, thank you, husband. I'll make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs tonight."
"Yeah." Chen Louchen nodded and watched Fu Xu open the door and leave. The "ignorance" on his face disappeared until the door closed. His golden pupils regained their deep clarity. He took out his cell phone and called Zong Yuan. His tone instantly became efficient: "Send me the documents that have been accumulated for the past two weeks. Mark the ones that need my signature."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Louchen walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. Ah Shan came over and tried to rub his legs, but he gently pushed him away.
Now that there was no need to act childish, he turned back into the somewhat distant Minister Shen, but after a few seconds, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Ashan's head.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Chen Louchen got up to open the door and saw Lin Yunzhou standing at the door with a medicine box.
When Lin Yunzhou saw him, he immediately smiled and teased: "Hey, our young master Shen woke up today? Did you remember what you ate yesterday?" As he said that, he was about to reach out to touch Shen Louchen's forehead, but the moment he met his eyes, his hand froze in mid-air.
There was no trace of ignorance in Chen Louchen's golden pupils, but instead a sharp coldness, like a knife tempered with ice.
Lin Yunzhou's smile froze instantly, and he coughed twice: "Are you... awake? Do you still remember things?"
Chen Louchen stepped aside to let him in, closed the door, and said calmly: "Well, remember everything that happened after the pheromone outbreak." He walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a small box from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Yunzhou: "There are a few potions in here. I took them out from the basement of the old house before the last pheromone outbreak. Can you help me check what the ingredients are."
Lin Yunzhou took the box and opened it. Inside were three transparent potions without any labels. He frowned, "Didn't you say before that pheromone bursts would cause amnesia? Why is it that this time..."
"I don't know," Chen Louchen leaned back on the sofa, tapping his knees lightly with his fingertips. "Also, I remembered some things from the past, very vague, like fragments from my childhood." He paused, his eyes becoming deep. "Before, I always felt like my brain was blocked by something, but after this pheromone burst, it seemed to open up a little."
The two chatted for a long time.
"Also, don't tell Fu Xu about my memory yet."
"Why?" Lin Yunzhou looked at Chen Louchen with understanding. "Why, are you interested in teasing omegas?"
"If you can't speak, shut up."
Lin Yunzhou was about to say something else when he heard the sound of a key opening the door from outside.
Chen Louchen immediately stood up, walked to Ashan, bent down and touched Ashan's head, and deliberately softened his voice: "Ashan, were you naughty again just now?"
Fu Xu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Lin Yunzhou, he immediately asked, "Doctor Lin, how is Mr. Shen's health?"
Lin Yunzhou looked at Chen Louchen who was teasing the dog with his back turned, and forced himself to bite his back teeth to prevent himself from laughing. He thought about all the sad things in his life, and then forced himself to put on a professional expression: "It's okay, he's recovering well, but he needs to be observed for a few more days." He glanced at Chen Louchen, who was facing away from them, pretending to tease Ashan, but his ears were quietly perked up, obviously listening to them.
Fu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Chen Louchen, and touched Boenshan’s head: “That’s good, I’ll go cook first.”
Chen Louchen's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned around, deliberately pretending to be dependent in his golden pupils: "Okay." His eyes fell on Fu Xu's face, and he saw that the green shadow under Fu Xu's eyes had become heavier.
It seems that this omega still needs to be raised, but compared to the timid look when it first came to the Shen family, it is indeed much better now.
A strange feeling arose in Chen Louchen's heart: "This is the omega I raised well."
Lin Yunzhou saw it and secretly gave Chen Louchen a look that said "You can do it", then stood up: "Then I'll go first, call me if there is anything." After that, he turned and left, and couldn't help laughing before closing the door. This kind of thing must be shared with brothers.
After Lin Yunzhou left, Fu Xu went to the kitchen to wash vegetables. Chen Louchen followed him, leaned against the kitchen door, and looked at Fu Xu's bent back.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Fu Xu, giving his hair a golden edge, and even the tiny hairs were clearly visible. Fu Xu's fingers were very flexible, gently scrubbing the vegetables. Water droplets slid from his fingertips and dripped into the sink, making a crisp sound.
Chen Louchen almost subconsciously walked over and circled Fu Xu.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen?" Fu Xu always felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Chen today, so to be on the safe side he changed back to his previous address.
It has been half a month, and Mr. Shen may wake up at any time, but we must not make any mistakes.
However, Fu Xu could vaguely feel the anger of the person behind him.
"You, call me again?"
