Fine raindrops fell on the body, bringing a chill that was also fine and fragmented. It was not as thorough as a rainstorm, but it always entangled people and made them unable to escape.

Lu Zhao stood here longer than Bai Li. His hair was already wet and slightly drooped. The sharpness of Major General Lu softened by three points.

Bai Li finally found his voice after a long silence. He walked over and patted Lu Zhao's shoulder. His hand was cold and wet. "Go upstairs first."

Maybe because he stood for a long time, Lu Zhao's movements were a little stiff. He moved, but did not walk back.

With this movement, water drops flowed down his eyebrows and fell on his cheeks. Bai Li subconsciously reached out and stroked Lu Zhao's bangs, which were already wet from the rain: "Why is it like this? How long have you been standing here?"

Bai Li's fingers brushed across the skin on Lu Zhao's forehead, and his fingertips brought a warm touch. Alphas generally have a high body temperature, and Bai Li is no exception, but Lu Zhao feels that the feeling is not hot, but burning.

Bai Li burned a hole in his heart.

Because of this hole, Lu Zhao is no longer the perfect circle. He has a flaw, and Lu Zhao vaguely realizes that this hole will never be filled.

Without waiting for Lu Zhao's answer, Bai Li was a little nervous. He laughed twice and wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, but his hand, which was about to be withdrawn, was intercepted by Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao looked at Bai Li, and wanted to close his five fingers, but then loosened them again, and just held them loosely. Lu Zhao said, "Bai Li, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask, what can I do to block your broken road."

The hand was not tightly held, but Bai Li couldn't pull it out at all.

He felt like the hand held by Lu Zhao, which could actually break free, but couldn't move an inch.

"Bai Li," Lu Zhao called out again, his expression showing a hint of confusion and disappointment at not getting an answer, "I don't quite understand these things, you have to explain them to me. Or tell me where I should go to find you if you run away."

His voice was very low in the heavy rainy night, as if he wanted to compress everything into a thin piece so that it could be stuffed into the gap of the door that Bai Li had closed tightly.

But Bai Li felt that the thin piece was like a blade, cutting his nerves bit by bit.

How could he be forced into this state? Bai Li thought, how could I force Lu Zhao into this state.

Forcing a person who had never bowed his head for so many years to ask so earnestly, asking Bai Li which way to go was the right thing to do. As long as Bai Li opened his mouth, Lu Zhao would dare to move forward even if it was a wrong way.

Bai Li realized that he had always thought that he was the only one who bore this fear of the future, but now, this fear was placed on Lu Zhao's shoulders by his own hands.

That straight spine should not have been crushed by anyone.

Lu Zhao's lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Li: "Don't say it."

These three words brought Lu Zhao's heart down. He closed his eyes and felt himself stepping into the darkness of the rainy night. It's over.

But Bai Li's body temperature enveloped him.

"Don't say it," Bai Li hugged Lu Zhao and held him in his arms, "I won't run away, I won't run away again."

I'm still very scared, but I won't run away again.

Sometimes Bai Li would feel that Lu Zhao was holding a knife against him. In the past, Bai Li felt that the knife was too sharp, so he could only escape.

But at this moment, he felt that he wanted to collide with Lu Zhao's knife, and let Lu Zhao cut his unpresentable pretentiousness into pieces.

Because this is such a gentle knife.

Lu Zhao was wrapped in Bai Li's body temperature, and this feeling was completely different from the previous two hugs. When he felt this temperature, he realized that he was standing in the cold rain just now.

He suddenly realized that what he wanted was never for Bai Li to be angry.

He wanted that even if he once forced Bai Li to flee, Bai Li would still give him a hug through the rain curtain in the end.

Lu Zhao wanted Bai Li to waver because of him, because he went and came back, and because he fell into a trap.

At this moment, he felt that the hole was filled, and he suddenly figured it out. It turned out that the hole was in the shape of Bai Li.

After a while, Lu Zhao asked very humbly: "Bai Li, this is not because of brotherhood, right?"

This sentence made Bai Li's mood, which was still immersed in the bitter drama of the rainy night, disappear. He couldn't help laughing, his head still buried in Lu Zhao's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't think there is a brother who hugs like this."

This clumsy hug, which relied on body temperature to dispel the dampness and coldness, blurred the boundary between the two of them.

Lu Zhao felt Bai Li's touch against his neck, and the vibrations from his words sent a tingling sensation through his skin. He couldn't see Bai Li's expression, but he felt that the tips of Bai Li's ears should be red again.

"If one day you..." Bai Li's voice was very low, ringing in Lu Zhao's ears, with a slight tremor, as if unable to suppress it, vaguely, "Lu Zhao, don't embarrass me too much. Please."

The second half of the sentence pierced Lu Zhao's heart like a thorn. He didn't understand it, but he could feel the ups and downs of Bai Li's emotions in his words.

Lu Zhao wanted to ask, but Bai Li tightened her arms around him. So he moved his lips, but in the end didn't say a word.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Zhao understood that Bai Li didn't want his response. He neither wanted Lu Zhao to ask nor needed Lu Zhao to answer.

After a long time, Lu Zhao hummed, turned his head slightly, and his lips brushed against Bai Li's ear. He stopped and did not move away.

Lu Zhao hugged Bai Li back and kissed the tip of his ear that was dyed red because of him in the dense rain. Bai Li's breath sprinkled on his neck, and the heat almost spread to the glands in the back of his neck, where there were Bai Li's teeth marks and a kiss from Bai Li.

Lu Zhao hugged back tightly, only in this way, he felt that Bai Li was not living in a glass cover, not a person who was always separated from him by a layer.

The rain in the early morning seemed a little lingering. The main city of the empire fell into a sound sleep, and they shared this drizzle.

It was unknown how long had passed before Bai Li spoke again: "Major General brother, have you never hugged anyone before?"

Lu Zhao said "hmm" and was quite honest: "How do you know?"

Bai Li grinned: "Nonsense, you almost strangled me to pieces, brother."

"No," Lu Zhao said very calmly, "alpha bones are not that easy to break." He

was very arrogant and refused to admit that he had great strength.

By the time the car was returned to the garage, Bai Li and Lu Zhao were almost soaked. Bai Li touched his wet hair, and then touched Lu Zhao's hair. Lu Zhao's hair was much harder than Bai Li's. He didn't know where he heard that people with hard hair have strong personalities. Bai Li thought it was no wonder that Major General Lu had a stubborn temper.

Come on, what kind of drama is this about pouring out one's heart in the rain? There's no atmosphere at all.

Bai Li wiped the water drops dripping down his cheeks: "Hurry up and go upstairs, I'm starving." He couldn't eat all day, and now he was starving.

After struggling for a long time, he still fell into the trap. Bai Li felt that he had been hungry for so long in vain.

Lu Zhao said "hmm", followed Bai Li and walked out two steps, and suddenly asked: "Do I need to hold your hand?"

After saying this, both of them were stunned.

Lu Zhao asked Bai Li the same question on the day of their wedding. Lu Zhao asked if he needed to hold Bai Li's arm to show the obedience of an omega.

Bai Li looked at him, paused for a few seconds and then said: "Do you want to hold it?"

The corners of Lu Zhao's mouth curled up: "Yes."

Bai Li reached out and held Lu Zhao's hand.

He thought that their behavior was very stupid, after all, it would take less than five minutes to get from here to the apartment.

But Bai Li thought again, forget it, let it be stupid, after all, there are five minutes.

Every five minutes he and Lu Zhao are together is precious.

At dawn, the communication in the old house of the Tang family came to an end.

Before hanging up the call, the handsome and elegant man on the virtual screen did not forget to mention what he had said before: "Father, I want to see him. After all, he was my father... I have to know how he is doing."

A kind smile appeared on Tang Xiao's face. He nodded, and did not forget to say: "Kaiyuan, you are just nostalgic."

He originally wanted to say that he had met Bai Li and Lu Zhao some time ago, but when he thought about how Bai Li had been like a mountain for so many years, weighing down Tang Kaiyuan so that he could not raise his head, the words turned into: "Okay, you go see him then."

Tang Kaiyuan on the virtual screen nodded with a smile. There were several knocks on the door. He hurriedly said a few more words to Tang Xiao, asking him to take care of himself before hanging up the call.

After the study became quiet again, Tang Xiao leaned back on the soft chair, picked up the hot drink beside him and took a sip.

The warm drink made Tang Xiao feel relaxed and comfortable from the inside out. He opened the personal terminal and casually read a few pages of news before yawning, getting up and walking out of the study, ready to catch up on some sleep.

As soon as he opened the door, he was face to face with someone standing outside.

Tang Xiao was startled, and after seeing who it was, he frowned and said, "Why haven't you slept yet? What are you doing standing here?"

"I woke up and couldn't fall asleep again." The former Miss Bai, now Mrs. Tang, stood at the door. She looked petite and weak in her coat. She clasped her hands together, looking a little nervous. "I, I just heard Kaiyuan..."

Hearing his son's name, Tang Xiao's expression relaxed and he said "hmm": "We just talked a few words, it's nothing serious." He glanced at Mrs. Tang again and reached out to hold her hand. "Look, it's so cold. The weather has been cold these days, why are you running around in the middle of the night? I said that omegas have bad constitutions, can't you just take care of them honestly?"

The sentence "omegas are not good" has been said countless times over the years, and Mrs. Tang has heard it many times. At first, she explained that she was not that weak because of the training from her father, Mr. Bai, since she was young. But every time when Mr. Bai was mentioned, Tang Xiao would be very angry.

Very angry... Mrs. Tang trembled, and was led by Tang Xiao's hand to the bedroom.

When they were almost in the bedroom, Mrs. Tang spoke carefully: "I heard you and Kaiyuan mentioned Bai Li..."

Tang Xiao glanced at her: "What?"

No emotion could be heard in her voice. Mrs. Tang bravely said: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know the child's legs... How is the child recently? Isn't he married? Is he happy or not?"

"Yeah," Tang Xiao laughed twice, "Miss your son?"

Mrs. Tang lowered her head, not daring to say yes, but not wanting to say no.

Tang Xiao said sarcastically: "It's a pity that we treat him as our son, but he doesn't want to recognize us as his parents!"

The second half of the sentence was a little out of tune because of anger. Mrs. Tang's shoulders trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but her hand was held tightly by Tang Xiao.

After all, he was an alpha, and his strength was terrifying. He pinched Mrs. Tang's hand so hard that it hurt. She lowered her head and dared not say a word.

"How many times have I told you, you have to look at me when I talk!" Tang Xiao raised his other hand, and was about to drop it with all his strength.

But Bai Li's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

That smiling face, and those cold eyes.

The raised hand stopped halfway, and Tang Xiao remembered that the dinner would be in a few days.

Mrs. Tang closed her eyes and waited for a while. The expected slap did not fall. Instead, Tang Xiao gently stroked her cheek.

"Look how scared you are," Tang Xiao's voice calmed down again, revealing the softness of an old-fashioned nobleman, "You can't look so bad. You are the protagonist of this dinner, you have to prepare well, okay?"

Mrs. Tang felt a warmth on her face. Tang Xiao took his hand away and kissed her on the face.

Over the years, except when he was angry, Tang Xiao treated her the same as when he was young. He would hold her hand for a walk, buy her things she liked, and be intimate with her from time to time. Even at night, he often had to hold her hand and talk for a while before falling asleep. Tang Xiao said that he loved her every day.

But when Tang Xiao lost his temper, Mrs. Tang felt that she couldn't stand this love.

The rainy season in the empire was long and humid, and it continued until the sky gradually brightened, even though it had rained all night.

Tang Xiao had fallen asleep, and a light snoring sound could be heard.

After walking around the bedroom, Mrs. Tang was still not sleepy at all. She remembered the few sentences she had just heard while leaning on the door crack. The topics that Tang Kaiyuan talked about when he was with her were completely different from those when he was with Tang Xiao. She couldn't hear clearly, and only heard Bai Li's name.

Mrs. Tang sat in front of the dressing table, and her face was reflected in the mirror. She tried to tie her hair into a ponytail, trying to find her younger self in the mirror.

Her hair was lifted up, revealing the back of her neck.

There were purple teeth marks overlapping on the glands.

Her fingers touched the uneven marks and she shuddered subconsciously.

The feeling of being permanently marked over and over again is too daunting, Mrs. Tang thought, and she didn't know how many more times she could endure the pain of being forcefully injected with large amounts of pheromones.

But Tang Xiao said that this was proof that the alpha loved the omega.

Mrs. Tang thought, it turns out that love hurts.

After sleeping for only a few hours, Bai Li heard the sound of Lu Zhao getting up to wash up.

He opened his eyes and touched his personal terminal to open it. He looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the morning, the time when Lu Zhao usually went to the legion.

The drizzling rain yesterday seemed to have mixed with the heavy rain in Bai Li's dream. Until Bai Li got up from the bed, he hadn't figured it out.

Pull a few down. Young Master Bai thought desperately, can't he figure out one or two things?

He walked out of the bedroom and prepared two servings of nutrient solution according to his previous habit. Lu Zhao was still in the bathroom, and Bai Li squeezed out a bottle of nutrient solution while walking to the sofa. He had this problem, he would rather sit than stand, and would sit wherever he was comfortable.

When he walked to the sofa and hadn't sat down yet, he saw the opened chocolates on the coffee table.

Most of the whole box of chocolates had been eaten, and the wrapping paper was opened and folded again, neatly stacked and placed next to it.

He came back too late last night, and Bai Li didn't have time to take a closer look, and only saw the box of chocolates now.

He realized that when Lu Zhao was waiting for him yesterday, he was also sitting on this sofa, eating this box of chocolates alone.

Chewed and swallowed something that tasted the same as his.

Bai Li felt so sad. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of Lu Zhao folding the wrapping paper bit by bit with his mecha hands.

The door of the bathroom opened, and Lu Zhao came out after drying his hair. Seeing Bai Li standing in the hall, he called out, "Bai Li." He

was stunned for a moment after calling out. A faint smell of chocolate entered his nose, which almost immediately made Lu Zhao's nerves tremble.

Even though the temporary mark had faded, Lu Zhao felt that Bai Li's pheromone was still different from others.

Bai Li looked back at Lu Zhao and cleared his throat pretentiously: "Xianhua, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't eat too much of this stuff. It's easy to get cavities."

After saying that, he waved the remaining half box of chocolate in his hand, walked to the refrigerator and threw it into the back.

Lu Zhao looked at him without saying anything.

Bai Li felt very uncomfortable when he saw him, and he even wanted to walk with his hands and feet

together: "Can you just say what you want to say?" "Well," Lu Zhao looked at him while walking towards his bedroom, "It's okay, you smell better."

Bai Li felt dizzy and almost knelt down on the spot.

When Lu Zhao changed into a neat military uniform and came out, Bai Li was still holding his hands on the dining table to slow down.

"No," Bai Li explained himself before Lu Zhao asked, "Major General, can you give me a break? I'm still a novice and have no experience at all."

Lu Zhao took a long time to understand what he was talking about, and couldn't help laughing: "You said, just say it."

Bai Li said: "I told you to say it, not to kill me."

Lu Zhao walked over to drink the nutrient solution. He was relaxed and rarely argued with Bai Li: "Then what should I say?"

"Just say..." Bai Li got stuck in the middle of his words and thought for a few seconds, "You should compliment me that I taste like high-end goods?" After all, the box of chocolates was just picked up from the supermarket shelf and was not worth much money.

Lu Zhao laughed so hard that he almost choked on the nutrient solution.

He glanced at Bai Li. The young master Bai was stroking his hair, and his face was still drowsy as if he had just woken up. His expression was quite natural, and it was unclear whether he was pretending or really wanted to let it go.

Last night, when the two of them returned to the apartment like a pair of chickens in the soup, it was already past three in the morning. They each took a shower, talked briefly, and went back to sleep.

Lu Zhao wanted to continue talking and wanted to ask what Bai Li meant by what he had said in his ear before. But Bai Li's expression made him unable to open his mouth.

Lu Zhao vaguely felt that Bai Li seemed to have taken a big step. This step had already consumed a lot of his emotions, and seemed to have exceeded all of Bai Li's expectations, so his face showed a rare look of fatigue and confusion.

The confusion made Lu Zhao uncomfortable.

None of them broke the veil, and no one tried to draw a conclusion about the relationship between the two. Lu Zhao did not have the heart to ask further, for he was afraid to hear Bai Li say "please" in a tiny voice again.

After finishing the nutrient solution, Lu Zhao stood at the entrance and paused for a long time. He finally understood what Bai Li meant by "I'm still a novice."

Major General Lu racked his brains and went over all the techniques for warming up relationships after marriage that Han Miao had forced him to share before, and found that after knowing this grandson for so many years, his words were of no use at all.

Lu Zhao's lips moved: "Bai Li, I..." He

did not say anything else.

He did not know what he wanted to say, and he remembered that Bai Li had not told him what to do yet.

Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao and thought to himself that if I pretend not to understand now, then I have lived in vain.

He walked over and gave Lu Zhao a hug.

This time there was no damp rain, and no bullshit brotherhood.

Bai Li said, "Forget it, you have to leave a scent."

The familiar smell of pheromones wrapped around him, and Lu Zhao's heart fell back into the distance with a "bang".

Master Bai did what he said. He would not run away, and no matter how scared or at a loss he was, he would hug Lu Zhao.

"Well," Lu Zhao felt Bai Li's cheek rubbing against his neck a few times, and the soft hair rubbed him Itchy, and his voice collapsed, without the slightest momentum of the Imperial Eagle, "Let you stay."

Allow you to circle me into your territory and make me your own.

Lu Zhao imitated Bai Li's movements and hugged Bai Li back. He realized how clumsy he was and couldn't even find his own posture for hugging. But fortunately, he still had Bai Li to imitate.

The two were too close. The smell of chocolate mixed with Bai Li's body temperature was sweet and bitter, and even richer and more fragrant than the ones Lu Zhao had eaten last night. He lowered his head a little uncontrollably, pressed against Bai Li's neck, and his lips were about to touch Bai Li's skin.

Bai Li was a little overwhelmed by the sudden increase in the smell of grass on Lu Zhao's body. As his mind was full of thoughts, he heard Lu Zhao say in his ear: "It turns out that the alpha's glands also have such a strong smell."

There was some surprise in his tone, and a little bit of exploration.

Lu Zhao really didn't think too much about it. After all, this was the first time he was so close to an alpha's gland.

After a long time, Bai Li didn't reply. Before Lu Zhao could say anything else, he felt Bai Li strangle him hard.

"Damn," Bai Li's voice sounded very angry, "Lu Zhao! You're really teasing me!"

Major General Lu staggered and took a few seconds to react. He humbly accepted the lesson: "Oh."

He couldn't help laughing.

Bai Li also laughed. He was still close to Lu Zhao's neck, his lips brushing against Lu Zhao's skin. This time he didn't stop, but moved up and kissed Lu Zhao's ear.

This kiss with a bit of restraint made Lu Zhao turn his head to the side, and their hair and skin touched and rubbed against each other, generating a temperature higher than body temperature.

Bai Li felt the vibration of Lu Zhao's chest when he laughed, and felt his accelerated heartbeat.

It's really terrible. Bai Li thought, he is so happy because of me.

Bai Li said to himself, forget it, let him die if he wants.

No matter how scared he is, I will give it to him.
