Chapter 32: Stop Sniffing the Cat
Mu Feng wasn’t stupid; he could tell the man had become suspicious.
How was he supposed to prove it? He couldn’t.
Liang Yuhang observed his expression. “Why aren’t you speaking? Thinking of how to deceive me again?”
Mu Feng gave a couple of dry laughs. “How could I? Why don’t we have a combat round? I really only know that one move.”
“I’m an injured person and you want me to fight?” Liang Yuhang shook his hand, which was still wrapped in gauze. “Actually, it’s fine. Soft and fragile Omega, one hand is enough.”
His tone was sarcastically mocking.
Mu Feng thought to himself that the man was dead-set on exposing him. Was he simply suspecting that he was a combat expert? Or did he already suspect his second gender?
“Really. You’ll know once you try,” Mu Feng said, feeling a bit guilty.
The two of them walked into the base one after the other. Mu Feng’s pocket still contained the Omega pheromone faking reagent he had experimented with during the day.
This was his first time trying it, and he wasn’t sure what kind of reaction it would have. Whatever.
While changing his clothes, he decisively gave himself a shot. Aside from feeling a bit hot, there was nothing else.
“Come on.” Liang Yuhang kept his injured hand behind his back, looking perfectly composed.
Mu Feng struggled to recall how Jiang Yuan usually looked in class and began to replicate the attacks.
Liang Yuhang: “………..” Amateur skills.
A punch landed on his shoulder—it was soft and lacked power.
Liang Yuhang reached out, twisted his arm back, spun him half a circle, and raised his leg to attack the back of his knee.
Mu Feng countered with an elbow strike. He truly knew nothing but this one move; his performance could be described as a frantic scramble.
“Teacher Liang, that’s enough. I’m exhausted. I can’t fight anymore.” His tone of surrender was also very delicate.
As he spoke, he started to fall backward.
Liang Yuhang clicked his tongue and reached out to grab his waist. However, the other was almost about to hit the ground, so he was forced to exert force and flip the person over.
“You really are…” Liang Yuhang evaluated. “Stupid.”
Mu Feng was splayed across him, his breathing unsteady. “I told you, I don’t know how.”
Liang Yuhang tilted his head back, catching a familiar scent in the air. It was like a mountain breeze carrying the scent of green grass after rain—a scent he had smelled on Mu Feng before.
But this time was different. If the previous time had carried a faint aggressiveness, this time it had become infinitely soft, even… That breeze seemed to burrow into his every inch, like a cat’s tail brushing past, entangling him.
“What is it, Teacher Liang?” Mu Feng propped himself up slightly, seeing the other’s unsteady breathing. “Did I press on your injured hand?”
“No.” Liang Yuhang’s voice had also grown raspy.
Although he had harbored suspicions before, with the pheromones present now, he couldn’t deny that Mu Feng was indeed an Omega. Perhaps even one with a considerably high compatibility rate with him.
Mu Feng raised his hand and placed it on his forehead. “But you seem to be a bit hot.”
Liang Yuhang’s throat bobbed as he suppressed the savage thoughts filling his mind. “Get up.”
Mu Feng observed his expression. He was in luck. He truly was a pharmaceutical genius; his first try seemed to be a success.
“I’m up. Are you feeling unwell?” Mu Feng tilted his head with an innocent, concerned look.
“Can’t you smell it? Your pheromones.” Liang Yuhang always spoke very bluntly. “They’re all over the room.”
“How could that be? I’m clearly wearing my suppression bracelet.” Mu Feng lowered his head, pretending to adjust the settings.
Liang Yuhang regretted playing this little combat game with him. He felt a bit irritable and also a bit out of control. This feeling wasn’t very good.
“I’m going back,” he said in a low voice. “Go back to your dorm yourself.”
“You’re leaving just like that?” Mu Feng chased after him, following step by step. “Do you need my help?”
These words were ambiguous. How was he supposed to help? It was way too easy to let one’s imagination run wild.
Liang Yuhang turned around, his gaze deep and heavy as he looked at him. Then he raised his hand and pressed it against the boy’s gland, just like last time, giving a warning. “Didn’t I teach you? Don’t get this close to an Alpha.”
It was a bit painful. Mu Feng took a soft breath and endured it. “You’re not ‘anyone else.'”
Liang Yuhang increased the pressure from his hand. “I’m even more of a pervert than anyone else. Reclaim your pheromones and stay away from me.”
The meaning was clear—his Alpha instincts had been triggered.
Mu Feng almost couldn’t help but laugh. Fake pheromones could actually make Teacher Liang lose control like this.
“Alright. Then please rest well.” Mu Feng took three steps back, widening the distance.
Liang Yuhang gave him a deep look before striding away.
Mu Feng stayed there until the pheromones had almost dissipated before returning to his dorm, humming a tune in a great mood.
“Mu Bao, this is the first time I’ve seen you so happy after coming back from home.” Jiang Yuan looked at him as if seeing a rare specimen. “Didn’t you get scolded?”
“I did. They said I maxed out my card and was being idle.” Mu Feng’s tone was light.
Jiang Yuan’s expression froze. He suspected the boy had been scolded into stupidity—to be this cheerful after being scolded.
So he hugged him and wailed, “I’m sorry, Mu Bao! Waaaah… It’s my fault! I shouldn’t have spent your card like that! I’ve ruined you! Waaaah…”
The wailing made Mu Feng’s ears ache. He patted his friend. “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”
“Why do you smell so good?” Jiang Yuan leaned against him, sniffing a fresh fragrance. “Is it your pheromones? Wow! This is the first time I’ve smelled your pheromones. They’re so fragrant!”
Mu Feng felt like he was being sniffed by a dog. “………” He felt a sense of helplessness at being “harassed” by an Omega.
Zhou Tiantian was another dog, leaning over. “Let me smell. This scent is very special. It feels different from the Omegas on the market.”
Mu Feng let out a long sigh and sat there, pretending to be a statue.
“Why did your pheromones suddenly leak?” Jiang Yuan thought of a question. “Aren’t you wearing your bracelet?”
“Maybe the quality is too poor. My head is a bit dizzy; I’m going to take a shower and sleep.” Mu Feng said.
“Mu Bao has become so health-conscious since coming to the base. He goes to sleep earlier and earlier every day.” Jiang Yuan lamented.
Mu Feng finished washing up and lay on his bed, pulling the curtains shut. Why go to sleep so early? To see the “out of control” Teacher Liang who had been teased by the pheromones, of course.
Just as he turned into Mumu, he heard 0717 complaining over there: “Your hormones are going to explode!!! I’m going to die from the discomfort! Which Omega stimulated you like this!!! Haven’t you seen an Omega before?”
Mu Feng shook the little bell on his neck, jumped onto Liang Yuhang with ease, and looked up at him.
Liang Yuhang indeed looked a bit irritable. “Mu Feng.”
“Oh, Mu Feng. Then it’s fine.” 0717’s tone became cheerful. “Call him upstairs.”
Liang Yuhang looked at it as if it were an idiot. “Call him for what?”
“To…” 0717 paused for a beat. “Ah………”
Mu Feng really wanted to give it a thumbs up. This big yellow robot had likely delved into some R-rated works lately; it was becoming increasingly unfiltered.
Liang Yuhang reached out and rubbed Mumu with some force, cursing, “Are you sick? Talk nonsense again and I’ll dismantle you.”
“Oh, you can’t find an Omega so you take your temper out on me. It’s fine. I don’t have a heart anyway; I won’t be sad. Waaaah…” 0717 raised its hands and pretended to cry.
Liang Yuhang grew even more irritable. Being affected by Mu Feng’s pheromones was already annoying, and now there was a noisy AI beside him.
0717 ordered, “Mumu, bite him! Help me vent my anger!”
Mu Feng gave it a cold look, bounced onto its fat head, and gave it a few hard stomps.
“Bad cat!!!” 0717 wailed. “I really can’t stay in this house for even a day! Great Lord 0717 is running away tonight! Don’t try to stop me!”
It tilted its head back, but it had no neck. Its round head and body, combined with its short, chubby legs and black-and-white color scheme, made it look like a sad penguin. It was truly hilarious.
Mu Feng looked back at Liang Yuhang. The cold master was even colder now. “No one is stopping you. Ugly penguin, beat it.”
0717 realized that with the Boss approaching his susceptibility period, his tongue was becoming incredibly poisonous. It quickly scurried to the door, not forgetting to leave a harsh parting shot: “Great Lord 0717 has decided to skip work tomorrow! I’m a pretty penguin! You’re the ugly one! You’re the ugliest! I’m going to assassinate you tonight!”
Mu Feng really wanted to applaud it. It seemed Liang Yuhang was usually quite good to it if it dared to curse him to his face like that. It was truly a daredevil.
“You’re the only good one.”
Liang Yuhang’s attitude toward the cat was a complete 180-degree turn. He reached out to rub the soft cat head, pinned the cat to the bed, and lowered his head to “sniff” the cat.
Mu Feng looked at the ceiling, his eyes losing focus. Getting this intense… right from the start?
He could feel the man’s high bridge of the nose brushing against his skin.
Liang Yuhang was dissatisfied with his squirming. He reached out to pin down the moving paws and said raspy, “Don’t move. I’m uncomfortable. Let me lean on you for a bit.”
Mu Feng dared not move again. After all, the man truly looked very uncomfortable, possessing a primal restlessness that was hard to suppress.
The fake Omega pheromones had such a huge lethality toward Liang Yuhang. He had unlocked a “hidden edition” effect.
“Teacher Liang, Teacher Liang, Teacher Liang…” Mu Feng closed his eyes. He knew the man couldn’t understand what his meowing was about, but he still wanted to stop him. “Stop sniffing the cat!!! The cat is going to faint!!! If you keep this up, the cat is really going to pass out!!!”
Liang Yuhang raised his hand and very lightly slapped his face. “What are you shouting for?”
Mu Feng was completely stunned. It felt good.
“Liking it this much? You must be a masochist, you little pervert.”
Liang Yuhang pinched his cheeks and gave them a shake, still feeling parched. “I’m going to shower. Don’t follow me.”
Then I must follow. This was definitely a “fanservice” round.
Mu Feng’s hands and feet were soft as he climbed up. He didn’t stand firmly—Mumu had grown too fat lately—and almost rolled off the edge of the bed.
“This cat’s legs are getting shorter and shorter. How does it grow?” Mu Feng still wasn’t used to it. He walked to the door with his bell chiming, struggled to bounce up and press the door handle, then nudged it open with his head.
It made quite a loud sound. Man and cat’s eyes met.
Liang Yuhang looked at him through the water mist, leaning against the wall and giving him a casual glance. His injured right hand was still wrapped in gauze and couldn’t get wet. It was clear his left hand wasn’t used to it yet and wasn’t very skilled.
Mu Feng’s face turned bright red as he muttered to himself, “Teacher Liang… you’ve broken your precepts…”
Liang Yuhang shook his damp hair and looked down at him from above.
“You even want to watch this, you horny cat.”
