Chapter 46: The Myth of Sisyphus
Liang Guanyue was lying in the middle of the bed with his arms spread wide, but his hands only touched the clothes on Fu Yunlu's back. He tilted his head to glance at him. Fu Yunlu was lying on the right side of the bed with his back to him. If he moved any further, he would probably fall down.
He really wanted Fu Yunlu to be angry on purpose and then transfer his dissatisfaction to Ji Wenting, but Liang Guanyue didn't expect him to be so angry that he even turned a blind eye to his own coquettishness and didn't even intend to let him enter his bedroom when he returned home.
Liang Guanyue was naturally happy to sleep alone, but he was not a fool. If he really left him alone, he might go too far, causing Fu Yunlu's enthusiasm to fade and become aware of something.
So he squeezed in when Fu Yunlu was closing the door, resulting in the current situation where he occupied almost the entire bed, while Fu Yunlu was "pitifully" curled up at the very edge.
"You're not asleep." Liang Guanyue broke the night's silence, poking his shoulder blade with her finger. "Or are you planning on sleeping like this tonight?"
“…”
"I hugged Ji Wenting to comfort her because..."
"go out."
Liang Guanyue rolled her eyes, endured it, and propped herself up halfway, casting a shadow over Fu Yunlu: "Brother, can you let me finish what I'm saying?"
Fu Yunlu said calmly, "So I don't even have the personal space to calm down?"
Liang Guanyue subconsciously clicked his tongue in impatience, and Fu Yunlu's back visibly tensed up upon hearing that. The two remained in a stalemate, but unlike before, Fu Yunlu had no intention of backing down.
Liang Guanyue leaned over, one hand around Fu Yunlu's waist, lowered his head, and peeled off the suppression patch with his teeth. His lips pressed against the gland, and the hot breath he exhaled sprayed on Fu Yunlu's collarbone. He said, "Brother, you are too jealous."
Fu Yunlu bit her back teeth as if they were about to break, and shouted angrily, "Get out!"
"Okay, I'll be out in a minute." Liang Guanyue felt that if he could control his most vulnerable part, this person would be willing to listen to his lies. His fangs bit an inch of the gland's skin, and he felt Fu Yunlu's trembling movements in his arms. He smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that my brother is the first person I've actually had sex with since I was a child?"
Liang Guanyue said, "But you have countless omegas in your past. If we really want to settle accounts, shouldn't I bother you first?"
Fu Yunlu frowned and retorted, "That's different."
"What's the difference? They are also your lovers, no different from my status."
"..." Fu Yunlu said, "You haven't even explained to me what happened tonight, why should I explain it to you?"
Liang Guanyue smiled, turned her head and kissed his neck, saying softly, "I've always wanted to tell you, but you didn't listen... Brother is so annoying." He said, "Ji Shun is dead, and Ji Wenting suspects you were the one who did it."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunlu immediately turned her head and looked at Liang Guanyue, frowning: "You think it's me too?"
Liang Guanyue blinked and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether it's you or not, but I'm your alpha, and I'll always stand by you."
Fu Yunlu said: "Then you still——"
"But Ji Wenting is an omega. Her emotions fluctuate wildly, and her loved one passed away suddenly. She suspects the murderer is someone I love, and my brother did intend to do so before... so I always feel guilty," Liang Guanyue said. "She cried bitterly, begging me to help her bring the real murderer to justice. I couldn't agree to this request, and I didn't dare tell her anything about you. Tormented by my conscience, I hugged her and comforted her for a few minutes."
Fu Yunlu looked at him intently: "...Really?"
Liang Guanyue smiled and said, "Brother, I won't lie to you."
"Ji Shun's death has nothing to do with me," Fu Yunlu told him. "I now have a preliminary suspicion that someone is disguised as my forces and is hunting Ji Shun down. That night... he contacted me, probably wanting to get to the bottom of things, but I didn't answer the call in time, which completely confirmed his suspicions and led to Ji Shun's suicide."
"..." Liang Guanyue looked at him for a while, laughed a few times, and kissed the light mole under his lip, "Brother is so smart."
Fu Yunlu put her arms around his neck and whispered, "Liang Guanyue, don't get so close to omegas in the future. Their scent on you is... too pungent."
"good."
After receiving Liang Guanyue's promise, Fu Yunlu began to apologize: "I am an alpha. Even if I am completely marked by you, I cannot have the same bond as those marked by AO." He paused and sighed, "So, knowing that you and Ji Wenting had close contact tonight, I lost control of my emotions like that. I'm sorry. I am so many years older than you, I should be more mature and stable. I'll listen to your explanation."
Liang Guanyue was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "So I can understand that because there is no special connection between the Ao symbols, you feel uneasy about this... right, Fu Yunlu?"
"..." Fu Yunlu simply raised her lips and used a kiss instead of answering.
It seems that being fully marked has a certain effect even on an Alpha. Before being fully marked, Fu Yunlu would never have given her body to him so actively and almost docilely, nor would she have felt such intense insecurity that her emotions became uncontrollable.
Judging from Fu Yunlu's experience, he should be able to control every expression of his emotions that exceeds his threshold.
Liang Guanyue's fingers kept stroking Fu Yunlu's glands. When the other party opened his mouth slightly and immersed in a deep kiss, Liang Guanyue opened his eyes and glanced at Fu Yunlu's fair and handsome face indifferently, as if he was examining a collection in his hands.
"On the Study of Alpha's Cognitive Behavioral Transformation Induced by Complete Labeling" - Liang Guanyue even thought of the title of his graduation thesis at this moment.
Because it was too funny, he couldn't hold it in. He chuckled and bit the tip of Fu Yunlu's tongue, then stepped back a little and said, "Brother, no more kissing, or you'll accidentally fire another shot."
Fu Yunlu held Liang Guanyue's face in her hands, and as if she hadn't recovered, she chased him and touched his lips reluctantly, saying in a hoarse voice: "...I'm sorry."
Liang Guanyue said with a smile: "Yeah, I see." He said, "I am also wrong. I shouldn't have hugged Ji Wenting for so long and made my brother feel uneasy-"
Fu Yunlu shook her head: "That's not what I meant."
"What is that?"
"I'm sorry for hugging so many omegas in the past." Fu Yunlu lowered her eyes. "I can't even promise that I can find a way for you to stand by my side openly as my 'lover' in the future. Guan Yue, this is very unfair to you. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Liang Guanyue said sincerely, "I don't care."
He didn't care because he didn't want to be tied to Fu Yunlu for the rest of his life. But in Fu Yunlu's ears, it was Liang Guanyue who was willing to selflessly accept these flaws that might not be solved.
Fu Yunlu raised her head, kissed him reverently on the forehead, and said gently, "I love you." He said, "I don't plan to marry you anymore, Guan Yue."
Liang Guanyue was stunned for a moment, frowning: "Impossible."
Fu Yunlu smiled: "Why not?"
Why not? Because it would do you no good at all. Liang Guanyue couldn't figure it out.
"The Führer will not agree. As a candidate for the throne, not marrying is foolish and impermissible no matter how you consider it."
Fu Yunlu said: "For thirty years, I have been carrying the expectations of others. Within these expectations, I have been constantly chasing power, trying to find the value of my existence."
"Before I met you, love and marriage were just bargaining chips, so I took them lightly."
"But Guan Yue, you think they are very important." Fu Yunlu hugged him and said softly, "When I was a child, I didn't have the right to choose, but now it's different. I want to choose my feelings and marriage for you."
"If it's not you, then it won't be anyone else who takes my place."
