compromise
Chu Rong had lived in the city for so long that he hadn't climbed a mountain in ages. Although he felt a little tired, he felt refreshed after working up a sweat. He had no memory of being in this place before, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
It seems that he used the right method. If possible, he really wants to live in the mountains and live a leisurely life.
There was no sunlight in the lush forest, and the road was rugged under the mottled shadows of the trees. Chu Rong shouldn't climb too high a mountain, but he was unwilling to stop, as he always felt that something on the mountain was calling him in the dark.
The sky darkened unconsciously, the wind became cooler, the treetops rustled and danced, the sounds of nature were quiet and comfortable. Hearing his own name in the distance, Chu Rong looked back in confusion.
It seems like...Su Xingyun’s call?
"No, how could he have heard Su Xingyun's voice? That guy could live comfortably as a young master in the city, there's no way he'd come to this remote village. Since he doesn't even acknowledge the child, he should have severed ties with a poor wretch like me long ago. Anyway, without the child, I'm no longer tied to him... With his special physical condition, this kind of thing is inevitable. It's not his fault, and we can't put all the blame on Su Xingyun. What's more, our social statuses are so different, and the child will only bring more suffering."
Chu Rong muttered to himself, his mood gradually becoming heavy. He walked to an open space and looked at the sky. The humidity in the air increased, and it was about to rain.
He spread out his clothes under a tree trunk and rested, thinking that it would be dark by the time he got down the mountain, and since he had water and food, he might as well sleep here for a night.
He has no home, he is an orphan.
Chu Rong was rejected in the place that should have accepted him. He no longer expected to have any relatives and could only rely on himself.
A cold face appeared in his mind, handsome but unkind, sometimes ashamed and angry, sometimes indifferent, but never impatient with him.
"Strange, I actually thought of Su Xingyun? Is it the mating season again?" Chu Rong touched the back of his neck with his hand in confusion. Even through the barrier patch, the gland that was swollen from being bitten was still sensitive and pricked, and a heat filled his chest.
His body missed Su Xingyun.
This is so wrong. Since I have an Omega physique, it is normal for my body to miss my Alpha, so why can't I get rid of the images in my mind?
Chu Rong picked up his phone and was sadly surprised to find that not only was there no signal in the deep forest, but the battery was also running low, dying in less than five minutes. It had been quite full when he arrived, but he must have accidentally opened an app without turning off the screen, draining it completely.
With no other way to divert his attention, Chu Rong just sat there in a daze. He couldn't ignore the heat in his heart, and his belly felt cold. It turned out that his hands had automatically lifted up his clothes to prepare for something.
He suddenly came to his senses, immediately pulled down his shirt, and involuntarily closed his legs, holding his backpack and staring blankly ahead.
Chu Rong became confused, not knowing whether her abnormal behavior was due to her previous pregnancy or her own condition.
Sometimes he doesn't want children, and sometimes he wants to have his own children so that he can have a companion. He is not clear about his own ideas about love. He is too sensitive and too fragile. He is poor and seems irresponsible.
If it was Su Xingyun, being supported by him could solve a lot of problems. The daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt is really too torturous. Chu Rong can't even support himself, let alone get married, bear the mortgage and car loan, and provide emotional value to another person.
Moreover, this is the ABO world. As an Omega, he can only give birth to children for others, but he has even lost his reproductive function...
Inexplicable thoughts grew wildly like weeds, tangled and tangled, and before I knew it, time had passed. The sound of raindrops hitting the trees created a crisp white noise that lulled me to sleep.
The breeze brought a slight chill, and Chu Rong huddled up even more, sneezing suddenly.
For his health's sake, he shouldn't have ventured into the mountains and forests to be exposed to the cold wind at night. But since he had already made his choice, there was no chance to regret it. Curling up silently, Chu Rong found that as long as he calmed down, he felt a sense of openness that humans were but a speck of dust in the universe.
When I was a child, I saw a space advertisement and imagined being an astronaut traveling through the vast sea of stars. The dream was so romantic and beautiful that I still can't forget it.
It was completely dark, and the chirping of insects filled the air. Looking up, he could see the star-speckled night sky through the gaps in the treetops. Chu Rong felt a tranquility he couldn't find in the city, a tranquility so peaceful that he could fall asleep at any moment.
But there's no telling what kind of wild animals might be out there in the wilderness.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a rustling noise. Chu Rong's heart was lifted up and he opened his eyes wide to look at the bushes that made the noise.
Looking back, Chu Rong was also a brave man who could enter a haunted house alone, but now for some reason, not only has he become hesitant, but even such a small movement can make his hair stand on end.
In fact, the noise was quite loud, definitely not something a mouse could make, only large animals could make it.
Chu Rong was so nervous that he dared not breathe. He pressed his back against the tree trunk, wondering whether he should climb the tree. But if it could also climb trees, wouldn't he be waiting to die in vain?
His breathing became disordered and he stared at the front left. Between running away and fighting, he would definitely choose the former. Not to mention that he was weak now, even if he could uproot a weeping willow, he would never joke with his life.
We have accepted the fact of poor quality pregnancy, don't we just want to survive?
But he forgot that there were no jackals, tigers or leopards in that era, and he was just scaring himself.
A tall and slender black shadow emerged, with long arms and legs, obviously a human. Surprisingly, it was Su Xingyun, who was panting. He walked towards him aggressively, as if he was going to fight. Chu Rong couldn't help but lean back, wondering if he was dreaming.
With a thud, Su Xingyun was suddenly tripped and immediately lost his momentum, kneeling straight in front of Chu Rong.
An awkward silence spread between the two.
A minute later, Chu Rong said, "My dear, there is no need for such a grand ceremony."
Su Xingyun's face was darker than the night sky, and he clenched his teeth to say four words: "I didn't salute!"
He originally wanted to stride over and show his boyfriend side, hug Chu Rong and kiss him, use the kiss as punishment, and teach the disobedient little O a lesson, but the sudden kneeling was too embarrassing, and he immediately gave up his romantic idea.
"Why are you here? No, you know I'm here? You seem to care about me." Chu Rong stretched out his hand to him.
Su Xingyun glanced at the Omega's flat belly, the light in his eyes dimmed, but he still said stubbornly, "I didn't want to come to see you, but grandma said that if I didn't bring you back safely, she would throw me out of the country to fend for myself."
He changed to a half-kneeling position, grabbed Chu Rong's hand and pulled him over, encircled his lean and strong waist, and rested his face on his flat belly.
The children of the Su family generally matured early. Even if they had been spoiled, after being raised by Old Madam Su for a while, even the naughtiest children would be trained into good children. He had been with his grandmother since he was a child, learning many skills and enduring many hardships. With his parents gone, his grandmother was his only relative, and he could not bear to disobey her orders.
But he had thought before that if Chu Rong insisted on having an abortion and his grandmother insisted on giving birth to the baby, he would still respect Chu Rong's opinion and give him a generous amount of money so that he could live a stable life in the future, even though he wanted a child very much. However, despite his careful care, the child was still gone. Su Xingyun was overwhelmed with guilt and had no way to express his feelings to Chu Rong.
Chu Rong: "Don't use me as a pillow."
"My legs are just a little weak!"
"oh."
The good atmosphere was destroyed, and Su Xingyun stood up neatly. His leg injury had not yet fully healed, and when he relaxed, he felt the piercing pain. He refused to admit that he had let down his guard after seeing Chu Rong intact, and he couldn't even endure such a small pain.
Alpha was used to frowning, with a ferocious expression as if he was going to eat someone. Chu Rong didn't notice his abnormality and said, "I'm not a weak Omega who's still pregnant. You don't have to be so nervous about me. You might as well spend more time with your grandma."
Always speaking in such an insignificant tone!
It is too irresponsible to often make big things small and small things disappear!
What’s more serious is that I always want to distance myself from him, which is really infuriating.
"Chu Rong, you have to know that I came here from thousands of miles away for you, not to listen to your sarcastic words. Even if we are not in a relationship, we still need each other, and your pheromones can't lie." Su Xingyun stood up and looked at him.
Chu Rong was silent for a moment. Alpha had already pulled him into his arms and said, "You're a little cold."
"I'm not cold." There was no smell of pheromones on Su Xingyun's body, only a light and pleasant perfume, as if it was specially tailored for him and perfectly suited to his temperament.
"Just think of me as cold." Alpha hugged him tighter.
His heartbeat speed gradually increased, and the restlessness that Chu Rong had finally calmed down with the cold wind began to take effect again. Not only was his body hot, but Chu Rong also felt a little horny.
It shouldn't be like this. He is a straight man and doesn't like Su Xingyun.
"You smell so good, are you in heat?" A sound of swallowing saliva was heard in his ears. Su Xingyun pulled his tie to cool down, and turned his eyes to meet Chu Rong's black and white eyes. There was a flame burning in the other's eyes, revealing his unspeakable secret desires.
Chu Rong stared at him for two seconds, then said, ruining the mood: "You're the one in heat. I'm not an animal."
Su Xingyun explained to him seriously, "How can humans not be animals? Besides, who says that only animals can go into heat? AOs themselves have their own estrus period. If you forget this common sense, I'll explain it to you when we get back."
Chu Rong changed the subject: "How did you find me?"
The drizzle continued, and the wind rustled the trees. Su Xingyun took a deep breath. The dim shadow on his angular face highlighted the cold texture. A pair of eyes, hidden with lust, stared at him closely and said, "Taste."
"What?" Chu Rong thought he had installed a positioning system for himself, but he didn't expect this to be the answer.
"I said, I can smell you."
The footprints left on the ground, the fragrance wafting from the bushes, or the subtle chill in the air all told Chu Rong the direction he was heading.
Chu Rong was silent for a moment, realizing that Su Xingyun's gaze was too scorching, like the brightest star. His cheeks felt hot from being stared at. He looked away, "You have to be kidding me. You're not a dog, how can you follow a scent? You must have gotten lost again, and luckily found me."
Su Xingyun said nothing, but described the appearance of the person in front of him with his burning gaze.
The slightly cool moonlight shone on his face, the soft light was so light that Chu Rong's skin glowed.
Although Chu Rong was an Omega, he wasn't short and delicate. On the contrary, he was taller and stronger than some high-quality Alphas, but this couldn't ignore his personal charm. He was confident, sunny, and frank, never nitpicking. Moreover, he was open and playful in bed, which perfectly matched Su Xingyun, and every time he had sex, he was endlessly enjoyable.
Su Xingyun wanted to kiss him, and even more so, to connect with him physically and mentally. But he couldn't do that for no reason, so he could only clench his fists and endure it. The conflicting feelings in his heart far outweighed the stinging pain from his wound.
Chu Rong sat back under the tree. "We can only stay here for one night. There is water and bread. Eat when you are hungry."
Still being stared at by those eyes that couldn't be ignored, Chu Rong raised his eyebrows: "Why are you looking at me? Do you want to eat me?"
Want to eat, but can't eat.
Su Xingyun calmly looked away, "It's getting late, go to bed."
Their shoulders touched each other, and Chu Rong gave him half of the clothes covering his body. This caring gesture made Su Xingyun's heart flutter, and he looked away uncomfortably.
The wind carried the Omega's voice softly over: "I'll go back with you tomorrow and won't embarrass you."
Su Xingyun immediately turned his head and said after a while, "Okay."
After a peaceful night, Chu Rong touched his gland and it seemed not to hurt as much.
Su Xingyun's eyes were dim, and he had dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep. He stared at Chu Rong's back with full dissatisfaction.
He couldn't understand Chu Rong's inner thoughts. Sometimes he was nice to him, making people think there was still a chance, and sometimes he was so cold to him that he felt he was hated.
Su Xingyun fell into a state of anxiety. The poor Alpha, who had never been familiar with matters of the heart, first suspected that it was the estrus period, and then he had a complicated feeling of love and hate for Chu Rong. Whenever he got close to Chu Rong, he wanted to bite the Omega's gland to mark him.
But reason told him that if he relied on the innate oppression of the Alpha over the Omega just to satisfy his own selfish desires, he would be no different from an animal. Chu Rong, like him, was a rational person and would not do anything impulsive because of the heat of the moment.
The most reckless and impulsive thing Su Xingyun had ever done was abandoning Chu Rong in a fit of rage and returning to the city alone. He still couldn't forget this person and was thinking about how to make amends to him.
It was clear that less than a year had passed, but his memory was fuzzy and he couldn't remember why he was so determined at that time.
In a flash, Su Xingyun suddenly thought of something and said directly: "I left because I read your breakup letter."
Chu Rong did not respond to him.
Alpha's voice was cold and hard, yet it carried the elegance and restraint of a gentleman. "I wouldn't abandon you for no reason, and I believe you wouldn't break up with me so easily. But when I went to see you with this letter, I saw someone confessing their love to you, and you didn't refuse. At that moment, I wondered if we were still a couple. If you don't admit it, then I'll leave."
"And then I really left, taking nothing with me except the wreath you wove for me. I couldn't keep it alive, and it had already turned dry and yellow. When I returned to the city with it, the nanny threw it away as trash. Luckily, I found it. I'm sorry I'm talking nonsense again. I thought you must be very sad about my leaving without saying goodbye, and I secretly sent people to inquire about you. I learned that you weren't doing well and had been refusing any help. I was busy with company matters and couldn't see you..."
Alpha's clear voice was as beautiful as the sound of a mountain stream, and his tone was tinged with sorrow: "But why didn't you call me or send me any messages? I waited, waiting for you to come to me. Later I found out that you never thought of looking for me. I don't know if you have changed your mind, or if I have done something wrong."
"Chu Rong, don't you have anything to say to me?"
