Chapter 108: Strong Sexual Tension
Betas are often the people at the bottom of an empire and have the hardest life.
They have no susceptible period and no estrus period, and are best suited for completing some high-intensity work - but after completing the work, their remuneration is far less than that of the other two genders.
Therefore, when this technology had not yet been fully successful, various gland trading phenomena appeared in the underground black market.
The personal safety of some low-income people, especially children and women, has suffered an unprecedented blow.
After all, human nature is fragile and vulnerable in the face of interests.
Countless women were trafficked and turned into playthings in the beds of Alphas. They moved between the beds of Alphas of different levels, all in the hope of giving birth to a child with glands.
And if a beta is born, the consequences can be imagined.
In the underground black market at that time, you could see the corpse of a beta infant almost every two steps, mixed in the dirty and smelly ditches until it rotted.
Shen Ranxin had never seen such a horrifying scene, but just by listening to Lu Zhi's description of the hellish scene, she knew what kind of environment Lu Zhi grew up in.
He pursed his lips, rubbed Lu Zhi's face with his knuckles, and whispered, "You lived in that kind of place for sixteen years, right?"
Lu Zhi nodded, and put his chin in Shen Ranxin's palm like a cat, looking at him with watery eyes.
Teacher Shen was heartbroken, and lowered his head to place a comforting kiss on Lu Zhi's lips: "When I went to the underground black market, it wasn't that tragic."
Lu Zhi licked his lips with an unsatisfied look: "At that time, Shen Ziqing's research had just begun, and the black market's industrial chain was not perfect."
Shen Ranxin pinched his silver hair and whispered, "I'm sorry."
It would have been better if he had taken Lu Zhi away at that time.
He was too young at that time, too young to understand what Shen Ziqing was doing, too young to see the future for himself and Lu Zhi, too young to have any ability to resist.
If he had taken Lu Zhi away instead of Shen Qi, then everything might have been different.
Lu Zhi blinked: "Teacher Shen also feels sorry for me?"
"Back then..." Before Shen Ranxin could finish his words, Lu Zhi stood up and covered his lips.
Lu Zhi kept his lips pressed against his, without taking the next step. He placed his knuckles on Shen Ranxin's neck, not using any force, but showing a gesture of control.
Shen Ranxin blinked, perhaps because she was still heartbroken, so she didn't push him away as usual.
"Teacher Shen is really sorry for me. You always tease me." Lu Zhi groaned, "You are not responsible after teasing me. It really makes me angry."
Shen Ranxin was speechless and choked. She shook her head and rubbed his lips: "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about this. Don't you have any serious thoughts in your mind?"
"Teacher Shen is my serious business." Lu Zhi pressed Shen Ranxin's lips hard, fearing that he would leak pheromones again and make Shen Ranxin uncomfortable, so he took a step back.
Shen Ranxin whispered, "So my lost memories and the fire are closely related to Shen Ziqing, right?"
He thought for a moment, then held Lu Zhi's hand and frowned, "So, the Alien Management Center found traces of data tampering, and released you just to use you as bait?"
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that his young master could be so perceptive. Just by telling him that the data was stolen, he could figure out the behavioral logic of the Alien Management Center.
"I guess so." Lu Zhi said, "In fact, I have escaped many times in the past five years, and the people in the Alien Management Center couldn't catch me. But this won't work. If I find you, you can't live in the shadow like me."
Shen Ran's breath hitched when he heard Lu Zhi's voice.
"You are my little rose that I have finally found. You must live freely and wantonly among the splendid flowers."
Shen Ranxin held Lu Zhi's hand tightly.
He is actually the same as Shen Qi, with nothing.
Even the qualification to be by his side was earned bit by bit with one's own blood.
Shen Qi said that if Lu Zhi were in his position, he might not necessarily do better than him.
In the past, Shen Ranxin didn’t comment. After all, people are different and there is nothing to compare.
But now he feels that if it is Lu Zhi, he is definitely a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Shen Qi because the path Lu Zhi is taking now is more difficult and tortuous than Shen Qi's.
But Lu Zhi came over, even though he was stepping on thorns and his flesh was covered in blood.
Finally, he walked up to Little Rose, took out the blood-stained glass cover from his arms, and carefully protected Little Rose.
How could Shen Ranxin not be moved?
He turned his head and walked to the balcony. The cool evening breeze blew across his eyes, taking away the tears that could not be hidden.
Lu Zhi walked over barefoot, bent down with his tall body, and looked at Shen Ranxin's face from below: "Whose baby is this, crying so pitifully?"
Shen Ranxin didn't say anything, just focused on calming himself down.
Lu Zhi came over: "Are you really crying?"
"..." Shen Ranxin raised his head and blinked: "No, there is sand in my eyes."
Lu Zhi nodded, not exposing the young master's stubbornness.
Although he was in front of him, he knew the young master's face and inner feelings clearly.
Shen Ranxin raised her hand and touched Lu Zhi's neck: "So it was for me, in order to prevent Shen Ziqing from continuing this inhumane research, and for the majority of people you have never met, that you ruined yourself into this state?"
Even though Lu Zhi did not give too much description of Shen Ziqing's research in those four years, given Shen Ziqing's character, the suffering Lu Zhi had endured was probably far beyond his imagination.
Also, because of his strong healing ability, even the deepest wounds will not leave scars.
But even if the healing ability is strong, the glands rubbed by the bite stopper, the skin covered with pinholes, and the glands cut by a sharp blade must be extremely painful, right?
"No." Lu Zhi smiled with his eyes narrowed, picked up the young master, looked up at Shen Ranxin's face full of heartache, and felt extremely happy.
But we can't let their baby feel too sad.
Lu Zhi said softly, "Baby, I am far more selfish and indifferent than you think. What does the life and death of those people have to do with me? Serving the people is what the Alien Management Center does. I am just seeking revenge. Shen Ziqing used my glands for research. The person I hold dear to my heart was bullied by him like this. How can I tolerate this?"
Shen Ranxin nudged his nose and said hoarsely, "I'll go with you."
Since Lu Zhi wants to use himself as bait, let him join in and see how life and death are in this fishing ground.
The next day, Shen Ranxin woke up in Lu Zhi's arms.
The clock next to it stopped at six fifty.
Shunxin thought that the filming would start at 7:30, Shen Ranxin stretched and prepared to go back to his room to wash up.
Lu Zhi always liked to stay in bed. Now that Shen Ranxin was about to leave, he still stayed in bed and muttered, "Sleep a little longer."
Shen Ranxin flicked his ear helplessly: "The shooting is about to start, I have to go back and wash up, Mr. Lu."
"I have your toothbrush in the bathroom." Mr. Lu muttered with his eyes closed: "Just wash it here. I want to hear your voice."
Shen Ranxin was surprised and asked, "What's so good about it?"
Lu Zhi opened one eye and rubbed his messy silver hair into the pillow: "I just want to listen."
Shen Ranxin: “…”
That's enough.
This is the energy of a gland that has been cut in half. If Lu Zhi had a complete gland, he would have died on this damn bed.
Although Shen Ranxin cursed him as a pervert, her body was very honest and she walked into Lu Zhi's bathroom, where she saw her toothbrush and cup.
"..." Shen Ranxin asked vaguely while brushing her teeth with bubbles in her mouth: "Why is my toothbrush here with you?"
After a long while, Lu Zhi's hoarse voice finally sounded, with a sense of laziness. The tail note was very long and sticky, making people's ears turn red.
Shen Ranxin heard the sound of Lu Zhi getting up, changing clothes, taking off the sheets, and throwing them into the washing machine on the balcony.
The next moment, Lu Zhi's tall body squeezed into the bathroom and brushed his teeth side by side with him.
"How could your things be left in that place?" Lu Zhi said righteously, "What if Shen Qi, that pervert, does something disgusting to you?"
Shen Ranxin glanced at him and asked, "What disgusting things do you think he will do?"
Lu Zhi said seriously, "Maybe he will use your cup to brush his teeth! And he will specifically look for the side where you usually drink water! And he will clean the cup carefully afterwards so that you won't find any clues."
Shen Ranxin looked at him: "..."
Lu Zhi: "Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Ranxin: “…”
Lu Zhi: "What's that look in your eyes? Do you doubt that I would do such a thing? Baby, I never thought that you thought of me like this? I don't even bother to use a cup! I would just go straight to your closet and look for your underwear!"

Jiang Ye opened the bedroom door and prepared to go downstairs to take pictures, and the door handle opposite was also pressed down.
He looked up out of habit and saw Shen Ranxin.
Um?
Shen Ranxin?
Isn't his room next door?
Isn't this Lu Zhi's room? !
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his normal expression.
If it was Lu Zhi's room, then it would be normal.
Shen Ranxin looked up, greeted him, and went downstairs.
Mr. Lu who followed out later also greeted him.
"Good morning."
Jiang Ye nodded: "Morning..."
There was a bright red slap mark on Lu Zhi's face.
Ah this.
It seems that Mr. Lu is not having a good morning.
But it must be pretty cool.

At 7:30, everyone gathered downstairs on time to start today's task.
The filming has been completed, and what remains is editing and dubbing. Everyone took their own script and entered the dubbing studio temporarily built by the program team.
Jiang Ye and Fang Yu had few words, so after they finished dubbing, they retreated into the room together to start editing.
After Cheng Cheng completed his task, he went to the dubbing studio of Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi. The two had a lot of scenes together, and their dubbing was so satisfying.
Contrary to his usual behavior, Cheng Cheng did not show any jealous expression. Instead, he sat on the sofa outside the dubbing room and watched calmly for the entire afternoon.
It would be more like choosing a place to daydream rather than watching Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi dubbing.
By the evening, Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi had finally finished matching. Cheng Cheng walked up with a bottle of water, handed it to Shen Ranxin, and smiled sweetly: "A Ran, drink some water."
"..." Shen Ranxin was silent for a moment, then took the water from Cheng Cheng's hand: "Thank you."
Then he handed it to Lu Zhi.
After Lu Zhi unscrewed the bottle cap, he gave it back to Shen Ranxin.
Shen Ranxin took a look, tilted his head back, took a sip, and then gave the bottle to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi didn't show any disgust at all. He gulped down all the remaining water from the bottle that Shen Ranxin had drunk from, then screwed the lid on and threw it into the trash can next to him.
The process was very skillful, and the expressions on both men's faces did not change much, as if everything was as it should be.
"Go back and take a shower. This makeshift dubbing studio doesn't even have air conditioning." Shen Ranxin muttered to Lu Zhi, "It's so hot in there."
Lu Zhi and Shen Ranxin walked side by side: "You seduced me again."
Shen Ranxin: "Are you sick? When did I seduce you?"
Lu Zhi: "You said it was hot inside."
Shen Ranxin: “…”
Lu Zhi: "Seriously, can you try it next time when you have a fever?"
Shen Ranxin: "You are a beast, how can you even make such a request?"
Lu Zhi: "I said when I had a fever."
Shen Ranxin: "Move aside."
Lu Zhi: "Okay, then we can take a bath together, right?"
Shen Ranxin: "Sure, no problem. I'm just being suppressed by your pheromones. I've gotten used to it. The inhibitory patch can't suppress it anyway. Why don't you just stop using it? Just think of the pain as exercising your glands?"
Lu Zhi: "...Baby, call me when you're done."
Cheng Cheng stood behind them, watching the two people's backs gradually disappearing into the distance. He turned around and picked up the empty bottle from the trash can, squeaking in his hands.

The micro-film received very good responses after its release, and the amount of recharges was also increasing rapidly. For a while, the Zhiran CP became popular all over the Internet.
Their stills are everywhere on the Internet, followed by a group of CP fans screaming crazily.
[This is the burning sensation! So cool, so cool, so cool! ]
[No wonder Lu Zhi wanted to cosplay as Shen Ranxin. ]
[I originally wanted to buy a set of clothes for Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi, but I didn’t have enough money, so I could only buy one set. ]
[Yes, our food at Zhiran is so delicious! 】
[Top A means being pampered. Look at what Lu Zhishuang is like. It’s this double A that makes you happy! ]
[The police didn’t know who to arrest first! ]
[You guys really... I don't even dare to read this if you dare to post it! ]
Shen Ranxin went from being an unknown person to becoming an overnight sensation, and a lot of negative information about him was also dug up.
The fire that was mentioned repeatedly, the showbiz arrogance, the poisoning of other artists out of jealousy, every single one of those things sounded like it was true.
For a while, comments about Shen Ranxin were rampant on the Internet.
Director Chen was worried that Shen Ranxin would be upset after seeing these remarks, so he originally wanted to comfort Shen Ranxin. However, he saw Shen Ranxin and Lu Zhi huddled together, each holding one end of a tablet, playing electronic double table tennis, and having a lot of fun.
Director Chen: “…”
He worries unnecessarily!
