Chapter 17 (Catching Bugs)



Leaving a scent on the omega they marked is a way for alphas to declare their sovereignty. The intensity of the scent depends on the alpha's mental strength.

The marked omega is already surrounded by the scent of pheromones, so he doesn't really feel how strong the scent is. Lu Zhao doesn't know how strong the scent of Bai Li is on him, but from the way other alphas take a detour when they enter the supermarket, he feels like a walking chocolate man.

Young Master Bai was quite relaxed, the red on the tip of his ear faded, he used his personal terminal to swipe a follower robot in the supermarket, and while throwing drinks into the robot's shopping cart, he chatted with Lu Zhao: "What do you want to eat?"

Without waiting for Lu Zhao to think, Bai Li said: "Anyway, I only make what I want to eat."

"..." Lu Zhao felt that he was really good-tempered, and even nodded, "You are really good."

Bai Li was very happy, and took Lu Zhao to shuttle between the shelves.

This area is all rich areas, the supermarket is quite large, and all kinds of food are sufficient. The shelves are densely packed with seasonings in several rows. Bai Li picked up a few brands that he often bought, and his movements were skillful, without even looking at them carefully, and he just raised his hand and threw them.

The robot behind him hurriedly followed behind to catch the food, and almost missed it several times, but Lu Zhao intercepted it and put it into the robot's shopping cart.

"Buy some meat," Bai Li asked the robot in the meat area to cut some fruit sparrow meat for him. This kind of creature unique to the satellite planet looks like a sparrow from the ancient Earth, but its size and taste are very similar to chicken, and the taste is a bit fruity. "Today, we will have sweet and sour chicken...sparrow meat." He almost mispronounced it and bit his tongue.

Lu Zhao didn't know what dish Bai Li was talking about: "Sweet and sour, sweet?"

"Ah, sweet and sour," Bai Li glanced at Lu Zhao, "Forget it, you only know about nutrient solution when it comes to flowers."

Lu Zhao shook his head: "The military has a dinner."

The military would have a dinner at a fixed time every month, and the military would order food from high-end restaurants for the officers to enjoy.

"Okay, then tell me what dishes you remember, and I'll see if I can make you two?" Bai Li was quite cooperative, raising his eyebrows as he walked and talked.

Lu Zhao thought for a long time. In fact, he has never pursued food. Military officers' dinners are more like social occasions. Asking him if he still remembers a few wines is fine, but asking him if he remembers any dishes, he really can't say.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhao blurted out: "Tomato scrambled eggs."

Bai Li was confused: "When did the First Army have tomato scrambled eggs at a party?"

There were only a few restaurants on the main planet of the Empire that could provide a feast for the First Army. Every dish was made in a fancy way, and the ingredients were all selected from the best goods of each satellite planet. Bai Li had eaten it before.

Major General Lu looked calm: "I didn't eat it at a party."

That means I had eaten it when it was not a party.

Bai Li was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Lu Zhao was talking about the first meal they had. At that meal, Bai Li scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he had robbed from the research institute. Because the other dish was spicy, this tomato scrambled eggs became Lu Zhao's focus, and he ate most of the plate.

"Okay," Bai Li picked a few more tomatoes and put them in the shopping cart, smiling, "I'll add another dish for our major general brother."

The tomatoes looked round and plump, and they looked pleasing when squeezed into the shopping cart.

Lu Zhao's eyes swept over the tomatoes. The color was pretty, a bit like the color on the tip of Bai Li's ears.

When everything he needed for cooking was almost bought, Bai Li thought of something else and opened his personal terminal to check: "I have to buy some snacks. There will be a live broadcast of the main star zone virtual battle tonight."

Bai Li is a loyal player of the virtual battle, and Lu Zhao knows this. According to Huo Cun, Bai Li plays pretty well by himself, but he doesn't bring Huo Cun with him. Huo Cun complained to Lu Zhao several times and was beaten several times before he behaved.

There were a lot of people in the snack area. It was almost a holiday, and many young couples were crowded in the snack area, choosing food to eat when watching a movie in the evening.

Bai Li and Lu Zhao were both tall and strong. When they stood in the snack area, they looked like two adults standing in a children's playground. They were out of place.

Looking more closely, they were both handsome and attracted a lot of attention.

Bai Li and Lu Zhao didn't care. They stood in front of the shelf to choose snacks. Bai Li didn't ask Lu Zhao about his taste. He took several bags of his favorites: "Xianhua, do you usually eat these things?"

Lu Zhao shook his head. Although he didn't think so, Huo Cun and Han Miao always said that he lived like an ascetic monk. He basically didn't eat anything other than nutrient solution. He had no desires and was very easy to keep.

"You really have no sense of fun," Bai Li was not surprised, he had some understanding of Lu Zhao's situation, "It's okay, Master Bai will take you to experience the joy of life. Not only should we let our comrades from the friendly forces experience our army's food, we should also let them taste our snacks, and strive to achieve another major progress in harmonious marriage as soon as possible."

Lu Zhao was confused and almost dizzy by Bai Li.

"Oh, a new flavor." Bai Li picked up a pack and took a look, reading the slogan on it, "'Hot and spicy dried fish! Made with B17's special floating fish, it will bring you a wonderful experience of spicy to heaven!'"

For some reason, the "spicy to heaven" tickled Bai Li and Lu Zhao's funny bone, and the two of them couldn't help laughing in front of the shelves in the snack area.

"This is it, this is it, two packs." Bai Li laughed wildly and stuffed the hot and spicy dried fish into the shopping cart.

Lu Zhao's smile was still not retracted, and his handsome features softened a lot under this smile, making people unable to take their eyes off.

An alpha who had been staring at this side for a long time was tempted by Lu Zhao's smile and took a big step forward.

As soon as he started walking, he smelled the pheromone on Lu Zhao's body, which meant to declare his sovereignty. He turned a corner and bypassed the snack area.

Bai Li teased Liu Hai: "Master Bai is still more powerful."

Taking a detour after smelling the pheromone, it undoubtedly means that the alpha who left the pheromone smell is more powerful. Bai Li has always been confident in his own strength, and now he is even more proud of his victory in this aspect.

A beta's voice came from not far away, talking to his partner: "Do you smell it? Whose child ate chocolate, it smells like this boss."

Beta's reaction to pheromones is not that sensitive. The first thing he smells is the smell, rather than feeling the threat contained in it.

Lu Zhao saw the smug look on Bai Li's face disappear in an instant, so he unscrupulously grabbed a box of chocolates from the shelf in the snack area and threw it into the shopping cart.

Lu Zhao said, "Take a bite."

He walked a few meters away before he heard Bai Li curse behind him, "Damn it."

Lu Zhao slept very soundly that night.

This was the first time he slept through the night during his estrus period.

Without the torture of inhibitors and the need to keep his pheromones stable, Lu Zhao was extremely relaxed and fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.

Perhaps because of the establishment of a marking connection, Bai Li's presence became particularly strong in this apartment. Even in his dreams, Lu Zhao could still feel it.

The owner of the pheromone that soothed the restlessness was nearby. He had left tooth marks on the back of Lu Zhao's neck and also left a gentle kiss. He

slept particularly deeply this time, and when he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

As soon as he woke up, he heard Bai Li cursing.

The scolding was quite fierce. He was a man with a lot of tongue. He had a lot of ways to scold people. His tone was high and mighty, just like the arrogant and domineering Bai Dashao.

Lu Zhao was awakened by his scolding. He slept well this time. He didn't want to argue with Bai Liji, so he walked out of the bedroom with half-closed eyes.

"You are still fighting the reinforcements," Bai Dashao sat cross-legged on the sofa. On the virtual screen in the air was a virtual battle that was in the final stage. "The reinforcements beat you to a pulp. I really admire you. Next time you say you are going to fight the reinforcements, the reinforcements will be so happy that they will snot and thank me for sending them another piece of fat meat to help the enemy build up self-confidence."

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh when he heard it.

Without Lu Zhao approaching, Bai Li could already smell the scent of grass on him.

The stability after marking is different from the stability after using inhibitors. Bai Li is particularly sensitive to the smell on Lu Zhao. Bai Li looked up at Lu Zhao: "Xianhua, you are finally awake."

"Yeah." Lu Zhao responded and prepared to wash up, and then he heard Huo Cun's voice coming from Bai Li's personal terminal.

Huo Cun was very aggrieved: "The major general is awake? I can't stand it, Bai Li is not a human!"

Bai Li's hands moved quickly to operate the game, and he didn't hesitate to say: "If I were a human, would I take you to fight a simulated battle? Only I, who focuses on competition, don't act like a human anymore."

Huo Cun stuttered and couldn't even finish a sentence. Lu Zhao laughed and went to the bedroom to wash up.

When he came out again, the virtual battle had been completed, and the victory icon on the screen was flashing. Bai Li leaned back and leaned on the sofa, his two long legs stretched out and folded on the coffee table, enjoying the pleasure after the heavy victory.

"Can you stop challenging me to virtual battles all the time?" Bai Li said in a lazy voice, "During this holiday, you should go on more blind dates. The more blind dates you go on, the more frustrations you will suffer, feel the world's malice towards you, and strengthen your psychological defenses."

"Fuck," Huo Cun was very angry, "I'm very busy, do you think I'm free? I was called to the hospital early in the morning, and I just took a breath now."

Lu Zhao was drinking nutrient solution, and when he heard this, he asked, "Hospital?"

Bai Li closed the virtual battle interface, and Huo Cun's head appeared on the virtual screen.

He was dressed in a serious manner, in the uniform issued by the army, which made it easier to enter and leave the military hospital.

"The kid who was separated yesterday," Huo Cun said impatiently, "woke up in the early morning, crying loudly. When we asked him how he got into the army as a minor, he refused to tell us. The hospital didn't allow us to ask because they were afraid of upsetting him emotionally. I was called here to ask about the details of yesterday, and to see that Gao--"

He glanced at Bai Li halfway through his words and said no more.

"Who?" Lu Zhao asked again.

Huo Cun moved his lips, then said, "The little alpha of the Gao family, wasn't he beaten badly by Bai Li yesterday? He was also taken to the hospital, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Li. He did not see Bai Li hitting anyone, nor did he ask who Bai Li hit. Yesterday's estrus made his brain a little dull, and he only remembered to follow Bai Li's pace. Bai Li changed the subject, and he really didn't think about it anymore.

"It's okay, I won't die," Bai Li waved his hands, with a lazy attitude, "Don't I know that I beat you? At most, I will feel dizzy for a few days, and if I'm lucky, I won't be disfigured."

The empire has very high requirements for beauty. Not only omegas, but also alphas pay great attention to their appearance. Alphas with strong strength are certainly popular, but A with a beautiful face can also win a lot of hearts.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhao felt that it was understandable that Master Bai was often proud of his face that attracted bees and butterflies. This grandson is indeed quite capable, but the key is who thinks he has no capability, and he can still beat people up.

"Not so good," Huo Cun saw that Bai Li didn't care, and he let go immediately, "I tell you, my dear, that head is wrapped like a zongzi, with only two nostrils for breathing. I was stunned when I saw it, thinking that the head was blown up, and I need to use glue bandage to patch it up?"

The three of them laughed, building their own happiness on someone else's zongzi head, which was quite unethical.

Someone on the other end of the communication called Huo Cun's name, and Huo Cun responded: "I have to hang up first."

Bai Li waved his hand and prepared to hang up the communication.

"Yesterday, the guy who split said he wanted to meet Major General Lu," Huo Cun added, "to apologize in person. I told him that Major General Lu Zhao was resting at home, and I would see him when I had time."

Huo Cun has always been very smart in this regard. He has been Lu Zhao's adjutant for some years and is very familiar with Lu Zhao's temper.

Huo Cun has always adhered to a principle for this omega superior: all choices are based on Lu Zhao's mood.

"Yeah." Lu Zhao nodded casually.

After the communication was hung up, Bai Li slumped on the sofa like a boneless person. His legs were still a little uncomfortable. He didn't exercise in the morning, nor did he go for a walk in the institute. He played two simulated battles with Huo Cun, and now he felt particularly empty.

Bai Li raised his head and looked at Lu Zhao. There was not a trace of the look he had yesterday when he was in heat. Apart from the smell of grass, Lu Zhao looked no different from usual.

There was no extra expression on that face. Unlike Bai Li, even when he was not in the army, he always maintained a straight standing posture. Perhaps because of this, Lu Zhao's facial features looked a little cold and distant.

But when he smiled, it was a different look. Bai Li supported his head with one hand and thought aimlessly. Well, it was a different look.

"I have to eat something good for lunch," Bai Li said, "to replenish the brain cells that Huo Cun pissed me off."

Lu Zhao's mouth curled up.

Before he could answer, Lu Zhao's personal terminal rang. He picked it up and opened it. There was a long paragraph written on the pop-up message box.

Bai Li opened his eyes and did not read the message Lu Zhao received. He had no curiosity about Lu Zhao's personal privacy, and did not want to go too deep into Lu Zhao's territory and cause him to be disgusted.

After waiting for a while, Lu Zhao finished reading the message: "I'm going to the hospital and will be back in the evening."

"Hospital?" Bai Li didn't respond. Lu Zhao's estrus period had just stabilized. Although there shouldn't be any problem with the mark, it would be good to rest more. "Xianhua, are you really going to see that differentiated boy?"

Lu Zhao turned off the personal terminal and said in a light tone: "It's time for a follow-up check. I'm going to the hospital."

"Ah." Bai Li replied with one syllable. He glanced at Lu Zhao and didn't ask any more questions. He changed the question, "Do you want me to accompany you, Xianhua?"

Even though he already knew that Bai Li knew his physical condition very well, Lu Zhao still subconsciously lowered his eyes and didn't look at Bai Li.

He didn't know what he was thinking. From the day Lu Zhao learned about his physical condition, he didn't feel much. After recovering from the injury, his life was the same as before, training, sleeping, and occasionally reading.

Lu Zhao occasionally felt that he should mention this to Bai Li, but Bai Li didn't say anything, so he never mentioned it.

He found that he didn't really want to talk to Bai Li about this.

Lu Zhao shook his head.

There was silence in the room for a few seconds. Bai Li said "hmm" and collapsed back on the sofa: "Major General Lu has lost another opportunity to taste my craftsmanship. It's a pity."

Lu Zhao glanced at Bai Li's dandy look, smiled, and said nothing more, and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

Bai Li let out a breath when he heard the door close. He knew very well what to review. Lu Zhao was injured in the last battle. All the external injuries on his body have healed, but the biggest problem left for him is his infertility.

This may be a devastating blow to most omegas in the empire.

Bai Li grabbed a small pillow from the sofa and covered his face with it. The original novel did not describe in detail the fact that Lu Zhao had lost his fertility. Until the end of the novel, Lu Zhao was only one of the lovers of the original male protagonist and received equal love from the male protagonist. The novel did not seem to care about his own illness.

In the original novel, Lu Zhao was not the most eye-catching one in the male protagonist's harem, so his illness seemed to be gradually forgotten with the appearance of subsequent characters.

After all, in the face of love, pain must be healed.

Otherwise, what kind of love is it, don't you think?

But Bai Li just felt suffocated, and he didn't know whether it was because of the small pillow or Lu Zhao.

When Lu Zhao changed into going-out clothes and came out, Bai Li had already stood up and was picking up nutrient solution in front of the constant temperature cabinet.

Seeing Lu Zhao coming out, he stood up straight, with a tube of nutrient solution in his mouth, and opened his arms.

Lu Zhao didn't react, and was puzzled by Bai Li's appearance of spreading wings.

"Strengthen the pheromone smell," Bai Li said a little unclearly with something in his mouth. His hair rubbed against the sofa and fluttered up again, looking a little sloppy, only his eyes were dark and bright, "Flower, hug."

One way to declare sovereignty is marking, but marking is not the only way to leave the scent of an alpha. As long as there is physical contact, the alpha can leave their scent according to their wishes, especially for omegas who have been marked by them. If there is physical contact again for a period of time after marking, the pheromone smell will be stronger.

Hospitals are places where all kinds of pheromones gather. Because illness can cause emotional fluctuations, quite a number of people cannot control the overflow of their pheromones, which is not very friendly to omegas in their sensitive period.

Bai Li's pheromones have a strong soothing effect on Lu Zhao. After the strengthening, Lu Zhao can be more stable for a period of time, and his own smell will be mostly covered by Bai Li's smell. At the same time, it can also make other alphas who come up to him consciously give way.

Lu Zhao looked at Bai Li, opened his mouth, and said nothing.

"Hug one?" Bai Li took the nutrient solution from his mouth and patted his chest, "Brotherhood!"

The last three words were spoken with a resounding force, and his chest patted loudly.

Maybe Bai Li's solemn look was really funny, Lu Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Fuck." He also opened his arms, "Brotherhood, come on."

The voice was very calm, no different from when he asked Bai Li to mark him.

Bai Li walked towards Lu Zhao, and Lu Zhao allowed this approach.

Bai Li stretched out his hand and gave Lu Zhao a hug.

The smell of chocolate mixed with body temperature, hugged Lu Zhao tightly.

"No one will dare to do anything to you if I hug you," said the eldest master Bai arrogantly, in a very impressive tone, in Lu Zhao's ear, "It's all right now, Xianhua, it's all right."

Bai Li patted Lu Zhao's back gently.

They never talked about Lu Zhao's medical report, but Lu Zhao knew that they didn't need to talk about it.

It's all right.

"Don't pat me anymore," Lu Zhao also slowly bent his arms and hugged Bai Li back, "It's like rubbing against me after eating candy."

The eldest master Bai smiled and cursed, "Fuck."

After cursing, he rubbed twice more.

If the eldest master Bai leaves a little taste, no one will dare to do anything to Major General Lu.
