Chapter 33: So Bold
Time stretched on. Mu Feng just kept his head lifted, watching Liang Yuhang.
The man wasn’t gentle. Veins were bulging, and a sense of desire was revealed amidst his coldness.
Mu Feng was afraid he would hurt himself. He was terrified, and his breathing was ragged. “Daddy… watch the wound…”
He felt a bit out of control as he slowly walked into the water mist. The glass door wasn’t closed, and the cat’s paws were already soaked by the water accumulating on the floor. Clearly, the master had no time to worry about it.
Liang Yuhang just gave him a casual glance and met those light green eyes. For some reason, he thought of a person. A mountain breeze-like pheromone scent.
Liang Yuhang suddenly cursed under his breath. When he looked down again, he found the kitten’s face was already a chaotic mess. The kitten looked innocent, its mouth still smacking.
Liang Yuhang: “………..” This is the first time I’ve seen a cat this bold in its lust.
“Why did you come in? I should have locked you in the cat carrier.” He frowned and could only grab the cat to put it under the shower to clean up the mess. “You really… will eat anything.”
Mu Feng was still in a daze. His furry head was being rubbed and rinsed haphazardly.
“Don’t call you Mumu anymore.” Liang Yuhang was both angry and amused. “I’ll change your name to ‘Little Pervert.'”
Mu Feng muttered to himself, “If Teacher Liang found out, he might really treat me as a pervert.” But what to do? Being a pervert is simply too much fun.
After washing the cat, Liang Yuhang used a hairdryer to dry him quickly, scolding him as he did. “Before it was raiding trash cans, and now you’ve grown even more ‘capable.'”
Mu Feng nodded his head repeatedly, the little bell on his neck chiming.
“And you’re still proud.” Liang Yuhang reached out and “rewarded” him with a slap. “There won’t be a next time.”
There will be, Teacher Liang. I’ll come again next time.
To punish the kitten, Liang Yuhang didn’t allow him to sleep with him today. “Go to your own bed.”
“No way.” Mu Feng didn’t care. Being pestering was the best way. The soft cat curled into a ball and quickly rolled over.
Liang Yuhang grabbed him and put him back on the floor with a cold look. “You really are becoming harder and harder to teach.”
After a while, Mu Feng quietly crawled back up along the edge and lay comfortably in the man’s arms. It was more comfortable here.
But after staying for only two seconds, he was tossed back down by Liang Yuhang. “Not allowed.”
He was absolutely a man of his word.
Mu Feng lay on the floor and sighed. Fine. The one who made him angry was Mumu; what did that have to do with the “satisfied” Mumu?
In the morning, he was woken up by the sound of a phone call. He heard Liang Yuhang saying to someone, “The ones who came to my house that night were mercenaries. I suspect they’re looking for… maybe that surgery before…”
Before he could finish listening, he returned to his bed in the dorm in a split second.
Mu Feng slapped the bed in frustration. He was just a step away from hearing the keyword. Dammit! What surgery? Heart surgery? Several years had passed. Why were they looking for it? Who was looking?
“Earthquake! Earthquake!” Jiang Yuan was startled by the thud and bounced up, grabbing his pillow and rushing out. “I still have billions in family assets to spend! I can’t die yet!”
Zhou Tiantian had a look as if he were seeing a mental patient. “With his IQ, on what basis? I’m so jealous I want to dig up his ancestral grave.”
“Maybe that’s just fate.” Mu Feng propped himself against the bed railing and jumped down. In two strides, he grabbed Jiang Yuan and pulled him back.
“There’s no quake. I thought I was dreaming.” Jiang Yuan gave a couple of awkward laughs. “Great! I can continue spending money happily.”
Zhou Tiantian had a solemn expression. “Can we reach an agreement? Can we stop talking about ‘money, money’ all the time? I’m really afraid that one day my anti-social personality will kick in and I’ll stab you with a needle.”
“You’re so honest; I’m starting to appreciate you a bit.” Jiang Yuan patted his shoulder. “How about this—once my card is unblocked, I’ll give you a hundred thousand.”
Zhou Tiantian froze for a few seconds. “How much?”
Jiang Yuan frowned. “Not enough? Then two hundred thousand. Don’t take the chance to get greedy.”
Zhou Tiantian wanted to say that poverty could not bend his will, but the other was simply giving too much. His cheek twitched. “Then… thank you, Young Master Jiang. Damn, this is so uncomfortable. If I don’t mock you for a day, my whole body feels uncomfortable.”
“Forget it. I’m uncomfortable when you’re like this too. Can we be normal people?” Jiang Yuan said with a smile, then turned his head. “What are you thinking about? How did your Omega faking experiment go yesterday?”
“It was okay,” Mu Feng said very conservatively. It was more than okay; it sent Teacher Liang straight onto the highway.
He wondered what Liang Yuhang’s reaction would be when he ran into him today.
“What exactly are you up to?” Jiang Yuan followed him to the lab. “Could that fragrant scent on you yesterday be something you made in the lab?”
Mu Feng was stunned. The little idiot had actually stumbled upon the truth by accident.
“Why would I mess with pheromones?” Mu Feng asked casually.
“I think…” Jiang Yuan spent two seconds in deep thought. “I’ve never smelled your pheromones before. Is it because the scent is too weird? Like snail rice noodles or something?”
Mu Feng: “………..”
“Ah? Then that really is a bit smelly.” Zhou Tiantian felt as if he could already smell it. “No offense intended.”
Jiang Yuan continued his chain of thought. “And then you finally decided to work hard and researched a scent you like, pretending it’s your pheromones!”
Mu Feng: “………..” The process was all wrong, but the answer was spot on.
Jiang Yuan pressed on. “And yesterday, through my noble bloodline, you finally developed one and couldn’t wait to bring it back for us to smell!”
Mu Feng: “………..” Is this brain of yours filled with the bathwater Lu Zhuo left behind?
Mu Feng didn’t even know which sentence to start correcting. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re so smart. It’s exactly as you thought.”
“So what were you originally like? Can I smell it?” Jiang Yuan blinked, looking extremely curious.
“No.” Mu Feng gave a fake smile. “I’m afraid you’d be so scared you’d drop to your knees.”
“Ah? Is it that smelly?” Jiang Yuan looked at that beautiful face and found it truly hard to imagine. “I feel so bad for you, Mu Bao.”
“What’s smelly?” Lu Zhuo brought over several tubes of nutritional agents to share with them. “Tutorial experiments start today. Eat something first, or you’ll be hungry.”
“I can’t say.” Jiang Yuan kept his mouth tight. “Anyway, Mu Bao’s pheromones are super fragrant. I held him and sniffed for a long time yesterday.”
“You held him and sniffed?” Liang Yuhang, who had been standing in the lab, turned and joined the conversation.
“Yeah! Zhou Tiantian held him too! Really, it’s super fragrant.” Jiang Yuan shot him a glare. “You stinky Alphas, stay away from our fragrant and soft Mu Bao.”
Liang Yuhang looked at Mu Feng. The scent in his memory seemed to return to the tip of his nose. See? Everyone thought it smelled good. Becoming restless due to pheromone impulses was human nature. This was just a physiological necessity between A and O; it wasn’t because the person was Mu Feng.
“Why are you looking at me, Teacher Liang?” Mu Feng’s eyes curved. “Are you curious?”
Liang Yuhang shot him a glance. “Not curious.”
Mu Feng tugged at his sleeve and pulled him aside, whispering, “When I left yesterday, you didn’t seem to be in a good state. Nothing happened afterward, right?”
Liang Yuhang’s expression changed slightly. He was always honest, but at this moment, he couldn’t say he had become impulsive because of the boy’s pheromones. It sounded like harassment of a student. So he denied it. “Of course not. I was reading literature after I went back.”
Mu Feng laughed again. You’re lying, Teacher Liang.
He said with a smile, “You really are a workaholic. I thought you’d go back, play with the cat for half an hour, and then be too restless to sleep and go take a shower.”
Liang Yuhang: “………..” He thought for a moment and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Did you bribe 0717? To spy on me?” There was a hint of scrutiny in his tone.
Mu Feng thought to himself: It’s over. I got carried away. He quickly tried to fix it. “That’s absolutely impossible. I was just guessing. Did I… guess right?”
Liang Yuhang didn’t speak, simply watching him calmly. That gaze made one’s skin crawl.
“What are you two whispering about?” Jiang Yuan turned around. “I just said—stinky Alphas stay away from our fragrant and soft Mu Bao.”
Mu Feng had never been more grateful to Xiao Jiang. He was a literal lifesaver.
Turning around, he walked quickly into the lab. “Oh dear, I haven’t finished writing yesterday’s experiment. Let’s stop talking for now.”
Liang Yuhang followed him slowly, watching him skillfully put on gloves, turn on the equipment, and take out test tubes. “What topic are you planning to do?”
The topic was: How to disguise as an Omega to flirt with Liang Yuhang in various ways. Could he say that? Of course not.
Mu Feng hadn’t expected that after Liang Yuhang got injured and his workload dropped, he’d actually be so idle that he’d start monitoring his research. His brain spun frantically. “I’ve always felt Omegas are a vulnerable group. The bracelets on the market are expensive and prone to malfunction. So I want to research a budget reagent that can isolate pheromones to prevent harassment from Alphas.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liang Yuhang’s expression change slightly again. The two of them locked eyes, both recalling the combat room from yesterday at the same time.
Liang Yuhang thought to himself: I’ve been scorned. So this is what it feels like to be disliked.
Mu Feng frantically waved his hands, desperately trying to explain, but only making things worse. “Don’t let your imagination run wild! I absolutely didn’t mean to prevent your harassment!!!”
Liang Yuhang’s lip twitched slightly, his tone calm. “I see. I’ll make sure to keep my distance.”
