Bai Li had a rare insomnia.

He had never had insomnia in his life, except for those few years when he was very angry after his leg injury and couldn't sleep all night. He slammed his head on the pillow, and if you called him two seconds later, he would have already started punching in his dream.

Bai Li lay on the bed and summed up, and felt that there were two main reasons for his insomnia this time.

One was that Bai Li felt ashamed when he recalled his stupid behavior. Every five or six minutes, this shameful memory came to his mind, and he wanted to punch his head to clear his memory.

The second reason is that he always feels that he can still smell the scent of Lu Zhao's pheromone, which is sometimes there and sometimes not. Whenever Bai Li is close to falling asleep and his mind is relaxed, the smell of grass becomes stronger. Bai Li starts to open his eyes and the smell disappears completely.

For so many years, Bai Li has a secret.

Although the imperial media described Bai Li as a wild horse who flirts with people everywhere in the past few years, Bai Li himself has never touched the hand of an omega except for a few kisses when Mr. Bai was alive.

The Empire's optical computer will force an omega to match an alpha of the right age when he reaches a certain age. Before that, he can date and fall in love freely. Anyway, as long as you are willing to get married and have children, anything is fine. If you don't contribute to reproduction, don't blame the optical computer for forcing you down with another melon.

Bai Li was dragged to fight by Mr. Bai every day, and he had no time to fall in love. He joined the army with the intention of changing his fate. Of course, he didn't change it in the end. He had to cut off his legs and retire. He was hit hard for a while, and he was depressed every day. He didn't want to fall in love. Besides, there were not many noble Os who liked him at that time.

In this way, Bai Li's love life was actually quite dull. There were many people who wanted to have a love life with him, but Bai Li himself was not interested. He didn't want to have feelings with anyone. The flirting and joking at the noble banquets were over, and they would go back to their own homes in peace.

Once you have feelings for someone, there is a risk of emotional breakdown. Bai Li has not forgotten that he was a minor supporting role in the original novel who was crushed into a joke by the protagonist's halo. Ever since his leg was disabled, Bai Li felt that his feelings would most likely not end well.

The thought of this made Master Bai feel uncomfortable, so he just let it go. Whatever happens, let fate punish you. I won't waste my time with you.

He turned around and went to play at Situ and a few of his former good friends' homes every day. He didn't go home every night, either playing simulated war all night or traveling across the stars with a few friends. Of course there are betas and omegas among his friends, and those who are close to him know that Master Bai doesn't have such an idea, but feels more comfortable with them.

Gossip reporters saw Bai Li going out every day and thought that this A was not very serious. After investigation, they found out, wow, why is he meeting O? Single O? That means he wants to date someone. Married O? That means he wants to develop an improper relationship.

Bai Li doesn't care. You can throw dirty water at him, and Grandpa will just say that he is your grandson today.

There was a time when the outside world was full of gossips, and only Situ and a few close friends knew that Master Bai lived an exceptionally pure life. If he didn't have a great passion for virtual combat and mechas, he could be included in the first page of the "cleanest alpha ranking".

How did that saying go? Who would still want to eat meat after being used to being vegetarian?

Bai Li has been vegetarian all the time, which is good. He can attend noble banquets when he has nothing to do, and make those legal partners of alphas who always stare at his legs crazy. When the alphas are so angry that they want to beat him up, Bai Li can be happy for several days.

Master Bai has been wandering for so many years that he no longer takes love seriously.

Before the marriage with Lu Zhao was settled, Bai Li was basically in a daily state of eating, sleeping and fighting. After the marriage, Bai Li found that Lu Zhao had a strong mental strength, so Lu Zhao's pheromones would basically not leak out under normal circumstances.

According to the original novel "The First Alpha in the Stars", after adulthood, A and O will have stronger control over their pheromones. The stronger their mental power, the higher their control. This is one of the reasons why Lu Zhao can mix with a bunch of alphas without causing chaos.

Usually, they rely on mental power to suppress pheromones, and rely on inhibitors during the estrus period every few months. Fortunately, this setting is more subtle, and there is an inhibitor to suppress it. If it is set to be necessary, Bai Li and Lu Zhao will really become two melons that are forced to be twisted.

If they are twisted down and put in the same basket, you look at me and I look at you, how embarrassing it is.

Without Lu Zhao's explanation, Bai Li also guessed that it was time for him to use inhibitors.

Lu Zhao himself didn't realize that the smell of pheromones leaked out and was smelled by Bai Li, which also shows that Lu Zhao was very relaxed at the time, otherwise, according to his temper after so many years in the army, he must be well aware of the changes in his body.

He was able to relax in front of Bai Li, and it was not known whether he did not regard Bai Li as an A, or felt that Bai Li would not be idle.

"Hey." Bai Li sighed and turned over in the bed, "It's all flowers, why is it the smell of grass."

He didn't know how to explain to Lu Zhao that he was an alpha who had been vegetarian for many years, which was more dangerous than those who ate meat every day. It was bullshit to say that he was used to eating vegetarian and didn't want to eat meat. He couldn't stand it when he smelled Lu Zhao's smell.

"Calm down, this is a physiological reaction, it has nothing to do with whether I am a beast or not," Bai Li turned over again, lying on his back and looking at the ceiling above his head which was set to night sky mode. He felt like looking at the vast stars to calm his little troubles as a human being, "First, take a few deep breaths."

Young Master Bai took deep breaths all night.

The next day, Bai Li got up very late on purpose, mainly because he didn't sleep much, and he was too groggy to get up early. If he ran into Lu

Zhao, he really didn't know what to say. Bai Li was usually very thick-skinned, but when he thought about how he sniffed Lu Zhao's neck, he wanted to sit up and slap himself twice.

It was almost noon when Bai Li climbed out of the bed. He walked out of the bedroom while holding up his pajamas which had slipped down a little due to sleeping. He saw Lu Zhao sitting on the sofa reading the news and was startled: "Fuck, Xianhua, why didn't you go to the Legion?"

Lu Zhao's eyes moved away from the screen in the air and he gave Bai Li a neutral look: "It's not appropriate to go now."

Bai Li understood that Lu Zhao was in estrus, a period that would last for several days. Even inhibitors could not protect him. This was the time when omegas were most vulnerable and most easily teased. Lu Zhao chose to avoid places like the Legion where a large number of fierce alphas gathered.

Bai Li smiled bitterly. Although his legs were crippled, his mental strength was not damaged at all. If he really exploded, it would not be a problem to suppress Lu Zhao. But Lu Zhao obviously did not consider this point, otherwise he would not stay in this apartment so naturally.

"Okay, you take a rest," Bai Li rubbed his face, "I... I'll go to the research institute."

Even if Lu Zhao took inhibitors, Bai Li no longer trusted himself because of his stupid behavior yesterday.

Lu Zhao flipped through the news and said, "It's okay. I am very stable during my estrus period. I won't just go after anyone I see and eat anything."

Bai Li was stunned by the phrase "hungry and indiscriminate", he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, Xianhua, why do I always feel like you are scolding me?"

"No." Lu Zhao explained, "I'm almost done in the first two days."

This was the first time that Bai Li had met an omega who was so calm about his estrus. He even had the illusion of going back to his adolescence to discuss physiological mysteries with another alpha.

"I have to remind you," Bai Li couldn't help but said, "I'm an alpha."

Lu Zhao looked at him: "Ah."

Bai Li said more bluntly: "I haven't been in contact with omegas for a long time, you can refer to my age for the specific years."

Lu Zhao stopped reading the news and read Bai Li instead.

After all, few people knew that Bai Li was a vegetarian from birth .

After a while, Lu Zhao said, "I remember that your mental power level is very high." He was shocked when he saw the value before marriage. If this mental power had stayed in the military, he might have been Lu Zhao's boss by now.

Bai Li said, "Oh," "Not bad."

Lu Zhao was puzzled. How could he not control his mental power? He said, "That's it?" He

narrowly avoided spitting Bai Li.

Bai Li covered his face with both hands and stood there, sighing helplessly.

"I don't really understand this." Lu Zhao was a little embarrassed to see Bai Li like this. He had lacked proper guidance since he was a child, and there was no close omega to tell him about this. His knowledge of this matter depended on the gang of ruffians in the army, the alphas and betas. "I will try to maintain stability, and the smell will not be too strong."

Bai Li covered his face and asked, "Xianhua, have you never been in love and have never been with an alpha like this?"

"Yes." Lu Zhao admitted very straightforwardly, "Why?"

Why? Bai Li didn't know why, he felt that the army should offer some physiological and hygiene classes to explain to the older O how the long-term autistic alpha would react when facing an omega in estrus right next to him.

Bai Li felt that the computer must have been thinking of watching the excitement when it matched him and Lu Zhao. It put together two people of the right age, A and O, whose love lives were basically zero. The two forced melons could not be put into the pot together. What a mental stimulation it must be for one of them to find that things were not simple.

In fact, Bai Li didn't understand some things. He felt that he had good self-control. He didn't know why he reacted so strongly to Lu Zhao's pheromones. He took deep breaths all night. He could only attribute it to the fact that he couldn't eat meat for a long time, leaving him with the sequelae of drooling when he smelled meat.

Bai Li let go of his hand and felt that he had to explain it to Lu Zhao. He looked up and saw Lu Zhao's face.

Lu Zhao had a pair of clear and clean eyes. He was wearing the light grey home clothes that Bai Li had bought for him before. He tilted his head to look at Bai Li, with a confused look on his face. Lu Zhao was an omega who got out of the military. He had long lost the gentleness that should be present at his age. This hint of confusion made him look a little blunt and gentle.

Bai Li covered his chest, "Fuck, Xianhua, how can you be so powerful even when you're being silly?"

"..." Lu Zhao's fists hardened, "Speak human language."

"It's okay, it's okay," Bai Li looked weak, and comforted himself as he walked towards the bathroom, "Li Li is fine, Li Li is very strong, Li Li can hold on."

Lu Zhao watched Bai Li staggering and talking nonsense as he walked into the bathroom.

He knew that alphas would be more concerned about the pheromones released by omegas. It was a bit like receiving information that they could take action. If the omega did not inject the inhibitor in time, the pheromones in estrus would be enough to make the alpha react and produce strong impulses.

However, Lu Zhao was very confident in his ability to suppress pheromones, otherwise he would not have been in the legion for so many years without any problems.

Besides, even if it is not the estrus period, if an omega has a crush on an alpha, it is normal to release some pheromones. The slight leakage of pheromone smell is more like flirting to alphas of higher levels, and there is no such thing as restraint. Alphas in the legion would take this topic to show off whenever they have nothing to do, and talk about all the smells they have smelled.

Lu Zhao felt that it was not a big problem.

Bai Li felt that it was a very big problem.

He hid in the bathroom and sent a text message to Situ.

Bai Li: Brother, let me ask you something.

Situ probably didn't have time to go to work today, so he replied quickly: Let go.

Bai Li didn't care about this man's disrespect to his boss: Have you ever had an arousal after smelling someone's pheromones?

Situ replied: ?

Bai Li hesitated for two seconds: I get an arousal when I smell Lu Zhao's pheromones, and I can't control it. What should I do?

After saying this, he felt that he seemed very hungry, and was afraid that Situ would tell him about this, so he added: It wasn't like this before, really not.

After a long time, so long that Bai Li couldn't even stand in the bathroom, Situ replied.

Situ: You've been married for how long, why are you pretending to be a virgin? You don't know what to do about this? What else can I do, go ahead!

Our Bai Li has been using text-based taunting skills for many years, but today he was stunned by the double entendre of his allies for the first time. Bai Li looked at the two words "Go ahead", and felt that Situ's education over the years was really useless.

Without getting a reply from Bai Li, Situ sent another text message: I heard that you are not very good in that aspect, and the news has spread. On behalf of the people, I ask you, does the major general dislike you?

Bai Li swallowed a mouthful of blood alive. He couldn't explain to Situ how innocent he was with an A, and he felt uncomfortable and lonely that no one understood him.

Bai Li replied lonely: I really envy you for being a stupid dog, without worries and sorrows.

When Situ started to scold him with messages one by one, Bai Li had already cheered up and decided to face the crisis. After all, Master Bai is a man of rank, and this little problem can definitely be solved with willpower.

Pushing the door open, Lu Zhao was still sitting on the sofa watching his personal terminal. Hearing Bai Li's movements, he turned his head and said, "Did you block Huo Cun?"

"Huh?" Bai Li hadn't reacted yet, and was immersed in his adolescent alpha mood.

Lu Zhao raised his personal terminal and showed it to Bai Li: "He's messing with me."

Bai Li encouraged himself in his heart and walked over carefully. Just like what Lu Zhao said, there was basically no smell. As an omega, Lu Zhao's mental power can be summarized in two words: "terrible". As long as there is no external coercion, he can keep himself in a very safe state.

After feeling relieved, Bai Li walked around to the sofa, stood behind the sofa and stretched his neck to look at Lu Zhao's personal terminal.

Huo Cun had been bombarding Lu Zhao's personal terminal with text messages since morning. He rushed to rank yesterday, but it seemed that not only did he fail to make it, but he also made a technical dive and was directly defeated. He was texting Lu Zhao one by one to complain.

"He insisted on asking me to play with him last night, but I blocked him because I was annoyed." Bai Li retracted and took out his own personal terminal, "I said I always felt like I forgot something. Today's simulation was so quiet, it turned out that I forgot about Huo Cun."

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh, but he turned his head and saw Bai Li turning away, keeping a short distance from him.

"Can you smell it?" Lu Zhao was a little surprised. He had already taken inhibitors, and with his own suppression, few people in the legion could smell his pheromones before.

Bai Li nodded: "A little."

It was mainly because he cared too much, so the smell would be magnified. Bai Li was embarrassed to say it out loud. Coming from the mouth of an alpha, it always sounded like sexual harassment.

Lu Zhao didn't mind Bai Li's attitude that much. He subconsciously sniffed: "Do you hate this smell?"

Bai Li couldn't catch his breath and coughed several times.

"Xianhua, do you know that asking an alpha what he thinks of the smell of your pheromones is very..." Bai Li struggled with his words.

Lu Zhao said frankly: "You seem to be very concerned about this today. If you are not used to it, I can go to the bedroom or go back to the military dormitory."

Bai Li quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, I really don't mean that."

Lu Zhao looked at him without saying anything.

"Really, I really don't hate it." Bai Li no longer turned his body away, and stood closer to Lu Zhao to show his sincerity, "I like it very much."

After saying that, both of them were stunned for a moment. Bai Li realized that this sentence was a bit unclear, and quickly patted his chest to explain: "Brotherly love! Really, brotherly love! Aren't you my major general brother?"

Lu Zhao: "..."

Lu Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Bai Li's nonsense. He felt that Bai Li had never been particularly normal.

"Besides," Bai Li said quickly, "I am an alpha of a certain level. When I was in the army, I was called the 'Imperial Iron Bastard'. I will never be shaken by a little pheromone. You just stay here. I have absolutely no extravagant thoughts."

Lu Zhao did not ask anything. Bai Li kept talking. It was because Lu Zhao was broad-minded and did not pay much attention to him. Otherwise, he would have thought that this man was guilty just by listening to Bai Li's speech.

After Bai Li expressed his firm position, he seemed to have rebuilt his self-confidence. Come to think of it, this was definitely an outburst caused by not seeing the fishy smell of sex for too long. In addition, Lu Zhao was indeed very charming. It was normal for Bai Li to have a little reaction. It was nothing.

As long as he took a good deep breath, any reaction would be eliminated.

Bai Li finally felt that his mind had calmed down. He felt so embarrassed when he thought about how he got so startled. The omega didn't say anything, but he, an alpha, was as excited as a stupid dog driven by adolescent impulse.

"But I have to reiterate it," Bai Li felt that he was fine and could get ahead of others again. "I told you before that if Major General Lu Zhao doesn't want to use inhibitors one day, you must consider letting me mark you."

As he spoke, he opened his personal terminal and started a simulated battle in front of Lu Zhao, preparing to release Huo Cun from the blacklist.

As soon as the simulated battle was opened, a text message box popped up in the middle of the screen.

Situ: On behalf of the people, I would like to ask, what exactly does Major General Lu Zhao's pheromones smell like? Why do you have a reaction as soon as you smell it? A

line of bright words was reflected in the air.

The room was silent.

Lu Zhao looked at the text message, then looked at Bai Li.

He looked at the text message again, then looked at Bai Li again.

Lu Zhao asked tentatively: "Reaction?"

Bai Li slowly turned off the personal terminal and slowly smiled: "Major General, you have to believe in Li Li."

This is really brotherhood.
