The breakfast was simple, fried egg sandwiches, and a glass of juice bought from the supermarket was poured out from the refrigerator for each person.
Bai Li was actually quite dissatisfied with the current juice in the Empire. There are not many types of fruits that existed in the ancient Earth period. Most of them are fruits produced by various satellite stars or the main star. They are of strange shapes and flavors, but not many of them are to Bai Li's taste.
After taking a sip of the overly sweet drink, Bai Li opened the personal terminal to reply to work messages, saying, "I have to go to the research institute. Xianhua, what are your plans today?"
Lu Zhao was chewing a sandwich, and the smell of fried eggs made him feel a little better. His mind was still going over the news headlines he had just seen, but his expression was the same as usual. He said calmly, "Rest at home." He paused and added, "I won't be going to the Corps for the next few days."
Bai Li's eyes moved away from the virtual screen of his personal terminal, glanced at Lu Zhao, and nodded without saying anything, "Okay, the car assigned to you by the Corps is still under maintenance, right? If you want to go out, you can transfer a car from the garage. You have the authority to use those cars."
According to Lu Zhao's habit of focusing on work, it should be rare for him to not go to the Corps for several days in a row. Bai Li didn't ask any more questions, stuffed his breakfast into his stomach, and hurriedly changed his clothes and went out.
Before leaving, he remembered something else and said while changing his shoes, "There is a fitness area on the 87th floor of the apartment building. There are flowers. If you want to exercise, you can go there."
No matter how spacious Bai Li's apartment is, there is no exercise equipment. He usually goes to the 87th floor to exercise and runs a few times a week. Before, because Lu Zhao went to the military training every day and didn't need such fitness equipment, Bai Li forgot about it. He just remembered it today.
Hearing Bai Li's voice, Lu Zhao nodded and said "hmm". "
But there are quite a few people on the 87th floor," Bai Li changed his shoes and stood up. He flirted with Liu Hai, who was well-groomed, and threw a coquettish eye at Lu Zhao, "Major General brother, leave a taste?"
Most people don't have the mental strength of Lu Zhao and Bai Li, and their pheromones will overflow to some extent. In addition to emotional fluctuations, strenuous exercise is also one of the reasons for the large amount of pheromones overflowing. Just like the training grounds of the military, the gym basically needs to eliminate pheromones once every half a month.
Normally, this smell will not cause any reaction from omegas, but it may not be the case during the estrus period. A tough omega like Lu Zhao will not be affected, but will feel more or less uncomfortable, and his nerves will be in an unconscious state of tension. When
Bai Li said to leave a smell, he really didn't mean to be a hooligan. It was completely for the sake of revolutionary friendship for the sake of friendly forces.
After a brief reaction of one or two seconds, Lu Zhao understood what Bai Li meant. He stood up from the dining table and opened his arms without thinking too much.
As soon as the two arms were stretched out, Lu Zhao and Bai Li were both stunned.
Bai Li stretched out a hand, ready to shake hands with Lu Zhao to leave some pheromones.
Alphas have many ways to leave their scent on omegas that have their own marks. Theoretically, as long as there is skin contact, kissing and hugging are just one of the ways of contact. Shaking hands is also enough for Bai Li to leave pheromones that are threatening to other alphas and stabilize Lu Zhao's spirit.
Bai Li had to admit that he had some selfish motives in the last hug. He knew that Lu Zhao had to go to the hospital for a check-up that day. He and Lu Zhao both understood that the hug was meant to comfort him.
Bai Li did not cross the line this time. He was ready to shake hands to express his full support for his allies. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhao did not consider whether it was crossing the line or not, and directly prepared to hug again.
Young Master Bai realized that he had not considered that Lu Zhao's emotional life was even more lacking than his. No one had taught him these little details between AO since he was a child. All
Lu Zhao could do was imitate Bai Li.
The closest emotion he could get in touch with was only Bai Li.
"Cough." Bai Li coughed dryly, "Mistake, mistake!" He
quickly retracted his hands and opened his arms.
Lu Zhao also retracted his arms at the same time and stretched out his hands to shake hands.
The two maintained a new round of misunderstandings and were silent for several seconds.
Bai Li murmured: "These short two minutes can be ranked in the top three most embarrassing moments of my year."
Lu Zhao's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Hearing Bai Li's muttering, he couldn't help laughing: "Fuck." Who the hell isn't?
The two laughed wildly. Lu Zhao was about to retract his hand, but was grabbed by Bai Li.
It was the same dry warmth as in his memory. Without giving Lu Zhao time to react, he took two steps forward and fell into Bai Li's embrace.
"Adults can choose to have either." Master Bai was quite good at finding a way for himself.
Lu Zhao was surrounded by the familiar smell of pheromones again. Bai Li's body temperature made the smell more mellow. He thought of the box of chocolates that Bai Li selectively ignored. Maybe because Bai Li was here, Lu Zhao always forgot to open the box to taste what it tasted like.
It didn't matter whether he tasted it or not. Bai Li's chocolate was probably unmatched.
Lu Zhao felt Bai Li's hand patting his back habitually, and the action was a bit childish, like coaxing a child. Before Lu Zhao opened his mouth, he heard Bai Li seemed to sigh.
Very light.
It made people feel itchy.
Bai Li walked out of the lobby of the apartment building. The car that was transferred from the garage through the personal terminal in advance was already parked outside the building.
The weather today was not very good. The rainy season on the main star of the Empire was about to arrive. Lead-gray clouds were already pressing down on the sky. Bai Li sneezed twice in a row as soon as he stepped out of the apartment building.
Only then did he come to his senses, sniffed, and could faintly smell the scent of grass.
Lu Zhao himself probably didn't realize that after establishing a marking relationship, no matter how careful an omega is in front of an alpha who has marked him, he can't completely suppress the pheromones.
This is an innate dependence and temptation, and it is also submission after being marked. Although the word "submission" seems out of place in Lu Zhao, at least from a gender perspective, this is an invitation from an omega to an alpha.
Every time Lu Zhao gets close, it is a temptation to Bai Li, tempting Bai Li to go one step further and further.
"Damn it." Master Bai rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "I don't know who is marking who."
He has lived under the same roof with Lu Zhao for the past few days, which is simply a huge test of his ability to manage his lower body. Our Bai Li feels that the biggest improvement he has made during this period is that he has learned how to take deep breaths quickly.
The ceiling of Bai Li's room has been turned on to night sky mode these days. He has to rely on the vast universe to calm his petty human desires.
He felt that rather than saying that he gave Lu Zhao a temporary mark, it would be better to say that Lu Zhao had tied a rope around his neck. Wherever Lu Zhao went, Bai Li's attention would follow.
Although he was a young man from an aristocratic family, this was actually the first time Bai Li had marked someone. Before this, most of his knowledge in this area came from books, or from the dirty jokes that his former comrades in the army told in their spare time. Bai Li finally understood why those alphas were so impulsive towards omegas with their own marks.
When someone unconditionally opens his body to you, exudes an aroma that invites you to taste it, and softens his waist when you get close, no A can refuse it.
Bai Li began to put the brakes on his thoughts again.
As he was walking, he heard some noise coming from not far away. He turned around and saw a small camera robot.
The camera robot made a "click" sound and took a picture of Bai Li's face.
A man came out from the side, holding a recorder in his hand and running towards Bai Li, shouting at the top of his voice: "Mr. Bai Li! Mr. Bai Li! What do you think about your legal partner being an Omega but holding an important position in the military?"
"Mr. Bai Li! Did Major General Lu Zhao cause turmoil in the military due to his estrus? How do you feel about your partner entering estrus in a public place with many alphas present?"
"I heard that your legs can no longer do physical work. Is this the reason why you allow Major General Lu Zhao to work in the military?"
No one knew what Lu Zhao was thinking, but he instinctively chose not to let Bai Li know about the news he saw in the morning.
In fact, according to Bai Li's frequency of surfing the Internet, it won't be long before he has read all the news, so Lu Zhao doesn't need to say anything specifically.
Although the result is the same, Lu Zhao finds that he doesn't want to say these things out of his mouth.
He is not dissatisfied with his life. The fear and anxiety in his childhood and the struggle in his youth will be gradually forgotten with the passage of time. When he stands under the spotlight, at a height that everyone needs to look up to, those past events no longer seem important.
There is no need to say more about unimportant things, and it is useless to say more about important things. Lu Zhao has lived like this for so many years, and it has become a habit.
It's not that he is unwilling to show his soft side, but Lu Zhao simply can't tell where his soft side is.
Lu Zhao is no longer used to talking about this with others.
The housekeeping robot recharged its energy, and with two "beep" sounds it started the cleaning mode, starting today's house cleaning. Lu Zhao came back to his senses
. This apartment is exceptionally spacious, and Bai Li's pheromones remain on the sofa pillows, on the coffee table he touched, and on Lu Zhao's body.
His nose was filled with a familiar smell, but Bai Li himself was not there, so no matter how familiar the smell was, it still lacked some feeling.
While Lu Zhao opened his personal terminal to browse the news sent by Huo Cun, he subconsciously touched the back of his neck. The marks of teeth have long disappeared. Bai Li did not bite deeply, and the temporary mark can only last for a while. But every time Lu Zhao touches that piece of skin, he can remember the feeling of Bai Li's lips and teeth touching it.
The first few news sent by Huo Cun are similar, basically speculating about Lu Zhao's situation. Lu Zhao quickly browsed through them, and then opened a link. What popped up was a post in the entertainment section of the Empire Forum.
This post has been very popular for a long time, which shows that it is very popular.
The title of the post has a line of big words: "I heard that Major General Lu Zhao caused a commotion in the military? What do Lu Zhao's brainless fans have to say this time?"
#1 OP: A few years ago, someone said that omegas are not suitable for frontline combat troops. Now you know the truth, right? Do you have to wait until omegas do something during combat before you feel regretful? Haha, I hope Lu Zhao will quit the military as soon as possible and go home to take care of the kids~
#2 Three dots and a stroke: OP warrior, hold on, brainless fans are about to arrive at the battlefield
#3 Zhizhi Meimei: CNM?
#4 Zhizhi Meimei: Did your mother give birth to you just to prevent you from barking like a dog?
#5 OP: So anxious, so anxious, you brain-dead fans are so anxious~ Is it any use for you to scold me? You might as well share some parenting tips with your Major General Lu Zhao and teach him how to be a virtuous O to win the heart of alpha. Otherwise, when he retires from the military, I wonder what he can do to hold back Bai Li~
#6 Xiaopang decided to lose weight: Well, there is no need to say such harsh words... Although I also think it is better for Major General Lu Zhao to retire from the front-line troops while he is still young...
#7 Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao: Are you sick? Does Major General Lu Zhao need to hold back Bai Li? I don't want to put it so clearly, but if Bai Li had some ability, would his omega suddenly enter estrus?
#8 User 9988566: No, Lu Zhao was fine before, why did he suddenly make such a big fuss?
#9 Three dots and a stroke: Do you understand the hidden danger? An omega should not have been allowed to join the frontline troops in the first place. They have been praised to such a degree in the past few years. I have long felt that something bad was going to happen. Haha
#10 Jiji eating little chicken: This matter is without a beginning or an end. They only say that Major General Lu Zhao caused a commotion, but do not say how the matter happened or how it was resolved. They only talk about the middle part and cut out the beginning and the end. Isn't this messing with Lu Zhao? Be rational and eat melons. I choose to wait and see what happens next!
#11 Little Tornado 101: Fight, fight!
...
After a cursory glance at a few pages, Lu Zhao felt a dull pain in his temple.
It's okay to just look at the news page, at most you can curse the unscrupulous reporter, but the forum is really a miasma of smoke and gas, saying all kinds of things.
Lu Zhao was used to being criticized. He had heard a lot of bad words over the years and didn't feel anything. But now that he was married to Bai Li, others started to criticize him along with Bai Li.
He flipped through the pages and saw that users on the forum were arguing over whether an omega like Lu Zhao should be in a high position in the front-line military. Those who had long disliked Lu Zhao finally found an excuse and cursed him until they bled. Those who defended Lu Zhao were so angry that they fought back. Two groups of people actually made the post a hot topic and put it on the first page of the forum.
From time to time, someone would mention Bai Li. They all thought that it was Bai Li's incompetence to let his omega take up an important job. Some people sympathized with Bai Li. A good alpha first broke a leg in his early years, and now he married an omega with whom he had no feelings. The result was that he was as stinky as falling into a cesspool.
After flipping through more than ten pages, I actually saw replies from soldiers in the First Army.
#866 Big Head Big Head: Stop arguing. What is there to argue about? I am a new recruit of the First Army this year. I was in the locker room when the incident happened. The cause of the incident is not the fault of Major General Lu Zhao, okay? It was a new recruit of the army who suddenly entered the differentiation period and caught up with the estrus period, which caused the commotion. Major General Lu Zhao was just affected. He hasn't said anything yet. Why are you guys getting climaxed here?
#867飘搖: Reply to 866L: It's so funny, the brainless fans are pouring dirty water on other people's heads to clean up their own problems?
#868主: Reply to 866L: The brainless fans jumping up and down are really funny
#869一刀一个傻汉: Does the one who said he was a new recruit have any evidence?
#870大头大头: Although I may be scolded by the military for doing this, I just can't stand your mean faces. If you have the guts, confront Major General Lu Zhao in person, do you dare? I'm not a brainless fan of the Major General, but the new recruit who got into trouble this time is my good buddy. If it weren't for Major General Lu Zhao's timely help, I don't know what would happen now... I support Major General Lu Zhao! Evidence: [Picture]
The picture attached is a screenshot of the temporary access permission of the First Legion, which is specially used for new recruits and installed on the personal terminal of the new recruits so that they can enter and exit the First Legion.
The replies of this new recruit named "Big Head Big Head" caused a commotion in the post. The side that originally supported Lu Zhao seemed to have confidence, while the side that looked down on Lu Zhao believed that "Big Head Big Head" was whitewashing.
If the serious news was discussing whether omegas holding important positions would cause chaos, then the forum had become a war of insults.
The entire entertainment sector was in chaos.
Lu Zhao felt that he was tired of these words. These discussions about him have never stopped since he entered the First Legion. It was boring to say that it was not painful or itchy.
Another dozens of pages of verbal battles.
When Lu Zhao turned to the latest pages, a reply suddenly jumped into his eyes.
#2818 Three-year-old E-sports with a disease: Brothers, have you seen that post? ! Bai Li was photographed!
Followed by a link.
#2819 Three-year-old E-sports with a disease: Damn, I have to say objectively that at least Bai Li’s face is pretty good!
Lu Zhao’s heart was suddenly squeezed.
He didn’t expect Bai Li to be affected to this extent.
Lu Zhao pursed his lips and clicked on the link with his finger, and a new post popped up.
Just a few minutes after the post was posted, there were already hundreds of replies. The reason is simple, just the title has attracted a lot of attention at this time point.
Post: "After the military riot, Bai Li went out alone without Major General Lu Zhao, suspected of a breakup?"
The post did not waste any more words, and directly posted the photos taken.
The shooting location was downstairs of the apartment building. Bai Li was about to open the car door and get in the car. Maybe he felt someone, so he turned around and looked in the direction of the camera, with a hint of surprise and confusion on his face.
Lu Zhao's eyes paused on Bai Li's face for several seconds.
Confused, Bai Li must have been very confused at the time, he had no idea what was going on, and he was photographed all over the face.
This expression made Lu Zhao feel as if someone was covering his mouth and nose and he couldn't breathe.
If Bai Li knew the situation, he might not have gone out at all.
Lu Zhao closed his eyes and continued to scroll down the page. Several consecutive shots showed Bai Li being photographed at close range. Perhaps because he was completely unprepared, Bai Li subconsciously squinted his eyes.
Before Lu Zhao could react, the last photo slid in front of him.
Bai Li lifted his bangs, and an arrogant smile appeared on his face that attracted bees and butterflies, and he made a scissors hand gesture to the camera.
Lu Zhao: "..."
There was a paragraph at the end of the first post.
#1 OP: Today, the OP finally saw Bai Li in person after waiting for a long time downstairs of Bai Li’s apartment. It was observed that Bai Li went out alone without Lu Zhao, and he looked very lonely, which seemed to indicate that their relationship had broken down. When asked, “What do you think of the military riot caused by Major General Lu Zhao?”, Bai Li said, “Take a photo of me that looks handsome,” and then drove away with an arrogant attitude and bad behavior.
#2 Three-year-old E-sports with a disease: He was blocked
and still gave a V sign? #3 Zhizhi Meimei: He was blocked and still gave a V sign?
#4 Jiji Eating Chicken: He was blocked and still gave a V sign?
#5 Fengguojing: He was blocked and still gave a V sign?
…
Lu Zhao received a text message from Bai Li.
Bai Li: Flowers, I was just blocked and still gave a V sign! So scared, crying!
A bunch of crying dog heads emojis.
Lu Zhao replied after a long time: You are really good.
No one is better than Master Bai.
Not only does he make a V sign, but he can also dance on the spot when given a spotlight.
Lu Zhao returned to the post and looked at the last photo of Bai Li for a long time.
He couldn't help but laughed: "Fuck."
