Zhao Yexi had heard Lu Huangzhi say before that when an alpha marks an omega, they subconsciously consider the omega their mate, triggering a series of psychological and physiological reactions. He didn't think it was a big deal, as the mark was temporary. The alpha could just suppress their instincts and wait for the temporary mark to expire.
But he hadn't expected that the omega's pheromones would actually make Tao Qiaosheng want to be the top, which was a serious problem. No wonder Lu Huangzhi always became different every time he marked him, and the first time was even more terrifying.
Lu Huangzhi and Tao Qiaosheng are both adults in their twenties. They have a certain degree of self-control and can barely suppress their instincts towards omegas. If it were a teenage high school student, such as Cheng Huaixing, it is hard to say what would happen.
Tao Qiaosheng's complaints hadn't finished yet, and they sounded a bit like a heartbroken girl falling in love at first sight with a stranger. Zhao Yesi listened absentmindedly and said, "It's okay. After the experiment is over, you won't see him again, and you won't want to be number one anymore."
Tao Qiaosheng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "That's right." His tone couldn't tell if it was regret or relief. "Xizi, how old is he this year? Is he from Suicheng? What's his job? And, how many children does he want in the future?"
The corner of Zhao Yesi's mouth twitched, "Tell me you are not serious."
Tao Qiaosheng said seriously: "I'm not serious."
Zhao Yexi: "..."
Zhao Yexi was forced to spend a long time on the phone with Tao Qiaosheng. He kept holding the phone, and even though he was wearing gloves, he was still freezing. The price of being in heaven indoors is freezing like a dog outdoors.
When Zhao Yesi returned home, Lu Huangzhi was already there. The lights were on in the first-floor living room, and three large boxes of grilled skewers sat on the coffee table. Lu Huangzhi had changed out of his school uniform and was wearing a black sweatshirt, sleeves rolled up, on the phone. Looking at himself, he was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and even inside the heated room, the chill didn't fade quickly.
Lu Huangzhi saw him come in and said to the phone, "It's okay, he's back."
Zhao Yesi put his hands behind his back and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
"Bu Chunzhai." Lu Huangzhi hung up the phone. "I can't get through to you. Ask him if he knows..."
Zhao Yesi walked up to Lu Huangzhi, raised his hands unexpectedly, and quickly touched Lu Huangzhi's face. "Freeze, don't move."
Lu Huangzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his hand holding the phone stopped in mid-air.
Seeing that he didn't react, Zhao Yesi said, "No way, I'm really frozen." He put his hand on his cheek, "Fuck, it's so cold..."
Lu Huangzhi took a while to recover, his eyes falling on Zhao Yesi's red, frozen hands. He poured Zhao Yesi a cup of hot water and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"
Zhao Yesi held the water cup, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I made a phone call outside. Where's Zhizhi Taotao? I want some."
"Zhizhi Taotao hasn't settled in Tancheng yet." Lu Huangzhi said, "I bought you some other milk tea."
Zhao Yesi was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He was already a grown man, not a little girl. It wasn't a big deal that he couldn't drink the milk tea he wanted. It wasn't worth his disappointment. "Okay. How much is it in total? I'll transfer it to you."
Lu Huangzhi looked at him, smiled, and said, "Senior, you obviously just want to drink Zhizhi Taotao."
Zhao Yesi picked up a string of chicken cartilage and started chewing it. "No, it doesn't matter what you drink. It's all the same."
"That's still very different. For example, I only drink Zhizhi Taotao and basically don't drink other milk teas."
"You can't buy it anyway, and you can't drink it even if you want."
Lu Huangzhi said in a natural tone: "I drank it today."
Thinking of the temporary mark and Tao Qiaosheng's words not long ago, Zhao Yesi said slowly: "Lu Huangzhi, I want to ask you something."
Lu Huangzhi opened a can of beer and said, "Hmm?"
The two sat side by side on the carpet. Zhao Yesi could see the platinum earrings on Lu Huangzhi's ears from the corner of his eye. "Did you really feel that much when you marked me?"
Lu Huangzhi paused and said, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
The heater was turned on high, and Zhao Yesi's body was not only warm, but also a little hot. "It's not okay to be curious."
"Sure, why not?" Lu Huangzhi said, "You know what I'm feeling, don't you? I told you, and you've read the report I wrote to Xiong Chumo."
Zhao Yesi thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
Lu Huangzhi tilted his head back and took a sip of beer. His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he drank, his eyelashes drooping. Perhaps because he had been a high school student for a while, he looked handsome, bold, and youthful.
Zhao Yexi asked, "But you're so awesome, you can definitely resist the instincts brought on by pheromones...right?"
Lu Huangzhi chuckled and said, "How am I awesome? You think too highly of me."
"Fuck, I need to stay away from you before that temporary mark wears off."
"Instincts are not something you can just suppress," Lu Huangzhi said. "Just like you, after being marked, you obviously become clingy and docile..."
Zhao Yesi retorted subconsciously: "I didn't."
"It's just that you don't realize it." Lu Huangzhi propped up his chin and looked at him, "Look, aren't you getting a little close to me now?"
Zhao Yesi looked down. It was true. His shoulder was almost touching Lu Huangzhi's arm, and he could even smell the faint scent of grapefruit on Lu Huangzhi.
The carpet was very large. He remembered that when they first sat down, there was enough space for Bu Chunzhai to sit in the middle. He didn't know when they became so close.
Zhao Yesi once again felt the fear of being dominated by pheromones and panicked. Damn, he was straight. "How about we just live separately?"
Lu Huangzhi was silent for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. You live upstairs and I live downstairs. Theoretically, we're farther away than when we lived in the staff apartment. And I'm really awesome, I can endure it."
Zhao Yesi sneered, "You are too modest, Mr. Lu."
"Didn't you say that first?" Lu Huangzhi stuffed a skewer of pork belly with his food. "Eat quickly. We'll have a meeting after we finish eating."
The work of the trio in Breath of the Wild is reported directly to Guan Chengji. When the time comes, four faces appear on the screen on time. Judging from the background behind Guan Chengji, they should be at home.
Zhao Yexi focused his report on cases where underage alphas deliberately exploited their pheromone advantage to suppress omegas. "Professor, I believe that school rules have limited effectiveness against people like them."
Guan Chengji said in a deep voice: "I understand. I will push this matter forward."
The four of them were having a small meeting when a familiar voice came from Guan Chengji: "I'm hungry."
Guan Chengji immediately said, "Let's stop here for today and adjourn the meeting." After that, his screen went black, leaving Zhao Yexi and Bu Chunzhai looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Huangzhi calmly closed the computer and said, "I'm going back to my room to take a shower."
Zhao Yesi walked across the screen and said in a trembling voice, "Just now... did you hear it?"
"I heard it." Lu Huangzhi didn't care. "It's no big deal."
Zhao Yexi had a thousand words to say, but the only thing left to say was "Fuck".
Before returning to the room, Lu Huangzhi suddenly asked, "If you hadn't been marked by me today and didn't have my pheromones in your body, would you still use the freezing skill on me?"
Zhao Yesi still hadn't recovered from the huge shock, "Huh?"
"Forget it." Looking at Zhao Yesi's expression, Lu Huangzhi knew that asking would not get him any results. "Go to bed early. Good night."
