——The royal family will announce a bombshell news that will shock everyone at the birthday party of Crown Princess Chen Ci on September 28.

No one knew who first spread this rumor, but it spread quickly across the entire Cinnabar Top Layer and landed in the homes of nobles and officials.

Even the people on the top floors of other beacons heard about it and couldn't help but talk about it.

Is there any news that must be announced at the princess' birthday party?

Is it a decision to get married?

In the past few months, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife seemed to have made great progress, and it was not at all like the rumors that they were cold and incompatible due to pheromone insensitivity.

But in the eyes of some unrepentant Omegas and Alphas, there must be another hidden story.

His Highness Shaflay had been cold towards his nominal princess for several years. How could he suddenly change his attitude in just a few months?

What's more, they had heard some rumors before. One day, Lu Heng went to the palace to visit the prince's wife, and then His Highness Shafulai, who had been living in the palace, suddenly moved to a residence outside.

Although they didn't know what exactly happened, and Lu Heng himself remained silent no matter how they tried to inquire, one thing was certain: His Highness Shafulai must have had a huge conflict with Chen Ci.

His Highness Shaflay is such a gentle and reserved person, but he was so angry that he had to live outside. Chen Ci must have done something extremely excessive.

It had only been a short time since then, and even if they had reconciled later, it would have been impossible for them to announce their wedding so quickly.

Yes, that's definitely the case!

Maybe this so-called breaking news will cancel their engagement!

When Antonio heard the news from his good friend, he didn't take it seriously.

He hadn't seen Shafla for some time. The eldest prince seemed to be very busy these days and even missed school for more than a month.

Likewise, he couldn't find any chance to meet the princess.

This made Antonio even more certain that the poor little Omega must have been disciplined by Shaflay, otherwise why was there no movement at all?

You have to know that before, Chen Ci had secretly asked him for help while avoiding his gaze, and even asked him for pheromones to store in a bottle.

Whatever the royal family is about to announce, it can't be related to their engagement.

With Shafley's dull personality, he is not suitable to be with such an alluring and shy Omega.

Little did they know that the unromantic Crown Prince was soaking in the hot spring pool with the shy and seductive Omega.

Originally, Shafley was worried that Chen Nian would become negative for a while after learning that he was a clone created by Chen Ci's mirror image.

Shafley observed carefully for a long time and found that Chen Nian was just like normal. He was still cheerful every day. Just seeing his bright smile would make him feel better.

Shafulai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in his heart finally lifted. With Chen Nian's personality, he would least care about these things.

When he first found out, he was only briefly shocked, but he recovered quickly. Not to mention that several days have passed now, so he can think more clearly.

Although Moonlight's original intention was to make a backup of Chen Ci, it used the mirror copy cloning method.

But Chen Wei, who knew all this, made his own arrangements after telling the royal family everything.

He instructed Chen family steward Jiang Dai that if anything unexpected happened, he should take one of the brothers away, hiding his identity, but did not specify who it should be.

This proves that in Chen Wei's eyes, the two brothers serve as backups for each other, and the sons he adopted are equally important.

So after realizing this, Chen Nian didn't mind at all.

At most, he was more unlucky than his brother. He was attacked by parasitic aliens twice after he was born and almost lost his life.

The hot steam made the surroundings hazy. It had been a long, long time since I felt so completely relaxed.

From the electric fantasy kingdom to the collapsing moonlight, the depths of the world are revealed before your eyes. After the thrilling experience, all that remains in your heart is the satisfaction brought by exploration.

Chen Nian squinted lazily, the boy's slightly wet hair was rolled up, revealing his smooth forehead, his lips were wet, and unconsciously opened a slit, as if expecting to hold something in his mouth.

Occasionally, water dripped from the ends of his black hair, flowing across his round shoulders, and finally silently sank into the water.

Under the water, there was a bath towel wrapped around the waist and two crossed legs with the knees slightly pink.

I don't know who touched who first.

In the warm hot spring, even the rise in body temperature becomes difficult to detect.

The taste of sherry seems to be a bit mellower than before, but the main note is still the sweet wine aroma that Chen Nian likes the most.

Chen Nian has always heard that as people grow, their pheromones will also undergo subtle changes. Teenagers are mostly light, but in the future, their mood will change and subtle differences will occur.

Chen Nian put her hands on Shafley's shoulders, deliberately lowered her voice, and said softly with a seductive ending:

"You're so sweet."

Shafla was slightly startled, as if he had returned to the night several months ago. At that time, he did not know that the Chen twins had quietly exchanged identities.

After the dinner, he took the slightly tipsy Chen Nian back to the White Pagoda, where the boy rubbed against him and whispered in his ear, "So sweet."

At that time he was shocked beyond words and was at a loss. The strong smell of tuberose in the narrow compartment made him dazed. Not only did he swallow half a bottle of inhibitor, but he also had beautiful dreams all night.

But now, Shaflay will no longer act so innocent.

He put one hand on the boy's waist, rubbing his palm dangerously on the edge of the bath towel, facing the amber eyes with a sly smile, and returned the words to Chen Nian exactly as they were.

"Not as sweet as you."

Chen Nian blinked. Even though he tried very hard to control himself, he still couldn't completely suppress the upturned corners of his lips.

This is a very normal flirting scene, which should make people blush and their hearts beat fast. Why does it seem so funny when it is acted out by the two of them?

No, it wasn't his problem. He had already mastered flirting. The problem must be with Shafla.

But he also felt that it was not the case. If Shaflay said something similar to someone else, the other person would surely be so shocked that he would become limp and at a loss, and his heart would be hotter than a manhole cover under the scorching sun.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I don't know, I just think it's funny."

Chen Nian put his hands around Shafulai's neck and rubbed a small patch of skin on the back of his neck with his fingertips. Alphas don't have glands there like Omegas, so the tooth marks he had left had disappeared.

But the real mark has already been engraved in each other's hearts.

It started as a light touch, then gradually deepened and became a real kiss.

How long had it been since he had completely relaxed and enjoyed Shaflay's pheromones?

If you calculate carefully, it doesn't seem like too long, but why does it feel like a long time has passed?

The sweetness of tuberose and the freshness of sherry blend together to create the most intoxicating wine.

Along with their breathing, there were also subtle strands of mental power. Every touch was clearly sensed by the other party, as if their souls had become one.

This is the most intoxicating and gentle place.

In the silence, Chen Ci opened his eyes silently, and the surroundings sank into darkness.

Although the bedroom was in sleep mode, simulating night even during the day, Chen Ci knew that it was probably midnight now.

Since returning from Moonlight, he has never slept until dawn.

Obviously, he has found a solution and uncovered the secret that had been hidden for 19 years. He should finally be able to relax.

But Chen Ci knew that there were still too many things to deal with.

The infected Moonlight Program, the hundreds of thousands of survivors in the shelter, and the unknown survival of the Sea Kings Jemengard and Maxene... all of these have declared that things are not over yet.

Shafley said that there were people dedicated to handling these matters and they could have a good rest, but Chen Ci still couldn't help but worry about them.

Such worries would have been absolutely impossible for him in the past.

The emotion called worry made him feel uneasy, but Chen Ci did not hate this feeling.

If he saw me like this a year ago, he would probably think he was crazy.

But worries aren't the only thing that fills my heart.

In the quiet night, the long and steady breathing of the Alpha beside him made him feel at ease instinctively.

Chen Ci's hand under the quilt moved slightly and touched Fu Tianhe's arm.

There are no longer any hard crystals pressing against the soft skin, waiting to pierce it at any time.

Whenever Chen Ci felt Fu Tianhe's presence, he still felt a sense of unreality.

To be precise, everything that happened a week ago, when I think back on it now, seems like a dream.

His lover, who was once seriously ill, is actually recovering.

Chen Ci closed his eyes again, ready to welcome the arrival of sleep again. He had to accompany Fu Tianhe to the research institute early tomorrow morning.

At that time, he gave Fu Tianhe a sample, and Alpha's symptoms were quickly relieved. However, no one could say whether the sample stored in Yemengjiade's stomach would still have the desired effect after ten years.

Fu Tianhe still needs observation and treatment for a period of time. While the research institute is working hard to synthesize a new drug based on the molecular formula, he will need to continue taking the medication.

At the same time, Fu Tianhe also wants to be an experimental sample. Although all the data of his experiments are contained in Moonlight's chip, for the sake of safety, the research institute decided to conduct the test itself.

If Fu Tianhe does not show any adverse symptoms, the institute will recruit volunteers for the next large-scale experiment.

The memories he retained in just a few months were more than those in the previous eighteen years. Chen Ci liked this kind of enrichment because it made him understand the meaning of his life.

It is not just a vaccine, but the meaning of his life as a human being.

Chen Ci leaned on Fu Tianhe's shoulder, listened to Alpha's steady breathing, and fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, Chen Ci read the experimental report from the researcher, confirmed that there was no problem, and walked out of the laboratory.

I saw Fu Tianhe sitting on a bench in the corridor waiting, browsing the terminal with his head down.

Alpha looked very serious. From Chen Ci's direction, he could only see the red prosthetic eye on his right side. But it went without saying that Fu Tianhe's real left eye must be full of concentration.

Hearing Chen Ci's words, Fu Tianhe hurriedly closed the terminal page. He raised his head and smiled quickly at Chen Ci, his eyes seemed to be flustered for a moment.

Chen Ci could clearly sense some hidden intentions in that smile.

Fu Tianhe stood up: "Are you done?"

Chen Ci nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the palace now. Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Fu Tianhe smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with the top floor, where can I go?"

"You can go for a stroll or something."

"Let's wait and see. The Ashes in my body has not been completely eliminated yet. It would be bad if there is a risk of transmission again."

Chen Ci stopped talking, and the two of them got on the special car back to the palace. Fu Tianhe sat with him in the back seat.

However, Alpha, who used to find topics to talk to Chen Ci, remained silent this time. He seemed to be thinking about something, so much so that he did not notice that the carriage was getting quiet and a bit dull.

After a while, Fu Tianhe opened the terminal again. He leaned slightly to the side, looking mysterious.

Chen Ci glanced at him. From his angle, he couldn't see the interface of Fu Tianhe's terminal at all.

In the past, Chen Ci would have remained silent until they reached their destination.

But given his current relationship with Fu Tianhe, they basically just say whatever they want.

Ordinary couples may wonder if their partner is secretly contacting someone behind their back.

But Chen Ci is not the kind of person who would let his imagination run wild and keep things to himself and get upset.

So he asked Fu Tianhe directly:

"What are you doing?"
