Chapter 57: I Smell So Sweet
Mu Feng’s face was muffled in the pillow, letting out sounds of indistinguishable meaning.
It made Liang Yuhang feel irritable.
He reached out and flipped the boy back over. Mu Feng was wrapped tightly in the quilt like a silkworm larva; his hair was a mess, his tie was crooked, and at some point, a button on his shirt had popped open, revealing his smooth, clean neck.
Mu Feng stared straight at him with a pair of wide eyes. “You hit me.”
Clearly, he had been the one to provoke him first, yet Liang Yuhang still felt a bit in the wrong. “Because you weren’t being obedient.”
“Oh.” Mu Feng savored the feeling for a moment. “Then hit me again.”
Liang Yuhang: “…”
His gaze landed on the boy’s neck. He had been wearing a collar before, but it hadn’t been suitable for today’s occasion, so it had been taken off.
It shouldn’t have been taken off. It should be worn constantly. When he was being disobedient and running around recklessly like this, he could be locked up with a chain so that no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape.
Liang Yuhang reached out, his fingers encircling the boy’s neck, lightly pinching it. “Are you a masochist?”
Mu Feng processed the word for a moment and then slowly nodded. “I think so.”
“Is that so?” Liang Yuhang’s fingers tightened slightly, watching as the boy’s breathing became unsteady. “Then this has turned into a reward for you.”
Mu Feng’s cheeks flushed a deep red, and his eyes were innocent and direct. “Thank you, Daddy.”
“I told you, don’t call me that.” Liang Yuhang stole his breath away, only abruptly letting go after several seconds.
Mu Feng gasped for air, his head spinning, feeling an extreme sense of exhilaration.
Liang Yuhang looked down at him, showing no consideration for the fact that this was their engagement night. He said coldly, “You stay tied up tonight. I’ll untie you tomorrow morning.”
Mu Feng couldn’t move. He could only watch as the man left, rolling around on the spot several times, unable to struggle free.
“Liang Yuhang is so annoying,” he muttered incessantly in a scolding tone. “I’m going to do it anyway.”
A drunk Mu Feng was not only courageous but also prone to head-on collisions. He groped his way out of the bindings and hopped, one jump at a time, toward the room next door.
The other man had entered the bathroom, and the room was dim without the lights on. Mu Feng felt grateful for the flexibility he had trained back when he turned into a cat; with a slight bounce, he landed on the bed.
We have to sleep together, Mu Feng thought triumphantly.
His hands were a bit numb and he couldn’t move them, but inside the warm quilt, he felt a rare sense of security.
When Liang Yuhang came out and saw the unidentified lump on the bed, his expression was helpless. “You really are…”
He had never taken care of a drunkard before, but clearly the one in front of him was the most difficult to deal with. Last time he was drunk, he had forcibly kissed him; what did he want to do this time?
Mu Feng blinked and watched as he approached. “Sleep.”
Liang Yuhang reached out and pinched his face hard. “Why do you insist on sleeping together?”
“I want to.” Mu Feng didn’t even bother to find a reason, playing dumb and acting like a spoiled brat.
It was already very late, and Liang Yuhang couldn’t be bothered to wrestle with him further. He leaned against the headboard and looked through the congratulatory messages sent by others.
There was a group chat for the military hospital. Usually, everyone was quite formal, but tonight it was very lively.
[Has Doctor Liang disappeared? Is he off having a ‘spring night’?]
[It’s his engagement night; who has time to reply to you?]
[Single dogs are envious. Doctor Liang’s wife is incredibly beautiful. My god, that waist is so thin, someone is lucky.]
[Stop, stop, stop. Praising someone else’s wife in the middle of the night, is that right?]
[I looked at the shift schedule. Doctor Liang actually has early duty tomorrow. A model for our generation.]
[He’s still young, his body is too good. I remember back then I also fought for a night and then did rounds at 6 AM.]
…
Liang Yuhang didn’t reply. He just scrolled down through the chat history. There were some photos from the scene; they were well-taken, so he downloaded and saved them.
“Do I still have to be tied up?” Mu Feng rolled over, leaning against him through the quilt. “Do I have to be tied up all night?”
Liang Yuhang gave a casual hum, not even looking up. “I’m afraid you’ll go crazy in the middle of the night.”
“Okay, that works too.” Mu Feng was easy to coax. Being able to share a bed was already a qualitative leap. “Stop replying to messages.”
Liang Yuhang finally took a moment to glance at him. “You just sleep.”
“Together.” Mu Feng was very persistent, staring at him with wide eyes. “Everyone else does this on their engagement night. It was in the video 0717 sent me.”
Liang Yuhang spoke with a half-smile, “What kind of decent film could 0717 possibly send you?”
Mu Feng’s cheeks turned slightly red; it wasn’t decent, and he had been seen through.
He rolled around beside him. “I don’t care. Everyone else does it, and I want to too.”
Liang Yuhang raised his hand to turn on the camera, recording the boy’s tantrum. “Let’s see if you’ll be ashamed when you’re sober tomorrow.”
“Hurry up, Liang Yuhang.” Mu Feng had also grown bold, calling the other man by his name directly.
Liang Yuhang finally put down his phone. He looked down and adjusted his suppressor ring to the highest setting. Ever since he was affected by Mu Feng’s pheromones last time, he had switched to an inhibition ring.
“Fine, stop being noisy.” He raised his hand and perfunctorily patted the boy’s back in a tone like he was soothing Mu-mu.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Mu Feng leaned in again, his breath brushing against his face. “Untie me. My hands are a bit numb. I won’t move recklessly, I promise.”
Clearly, he had too much of a prior record; he had no credibility.
Liang Yuhang felt that since he was an Omega, even if he wanted to do something, he wouldn’t have the strength to resist. Ultimately, his heart softened and he untied the tie. “You’d better be.”
The quilt fell open. Mu Feng’s high-end formal suit had become wrinkled. He raised his arms to take off the jacket and then began unbuttoning his shirt and tugging at his tie. He couldn’t get it off and became angry with himself. “How do you do this? I want to shower. I want to smell sweet.”
Liang Yuhang: “…”
He invited an ancestor to his engagement.
Liang Yuhang couldn’t be bothered with him. He kept his eyes closed and let the boy toss and turn.
After struggling for a long time, Mu Feng simply yanked everything off with brute force, stood up, and rushed into the bathroom.
After a while, he returned to the bed, bringing a sense of dampness with him.
Liang Yuhang thought to himself: Finally, some peace.
The next second, an arm carrying water droplets wrapped around him, encircling his neck. “Okay. I smell sweet now.”
Liang Yuhang reached out to push him away. When his palm touched the boy’s back, his brow twitched.
He wasn’t wearing anything.
He had actually run out just like that.
“Mu Feng.” Liang Yuhang called his name, saying through gritted teeth, “Put on some clothes.”
“I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping. This is comfortable.” Mu Feng rubbed against him, resting his head in the crook of the man’s neck, and closed his eyes.
“Goodnight, Teacher Liang.”
At least he still knew who the person in front of him was. He simply fell asleep in such an open manner.
Liang Yuhang felt like he was holding a hot potato. No matter where he placed his palm, it felt like harassment. His hand remained suspended in the air, suppressing a surge of anger that he didn’t know whom to direct toward.
Less than two minutes later, a mechanical voice from his watch began to prompt him.
[Hormone fluctuation detected.] [Body temperature rising.] [Suspected loss of control.]
Liang Yuhang suppressed it back and forth, then turned his head to face the other’s vulnerable gland.
A reckless Omega.
His finger pressed against that patch of skin. Although the ring had been adjusted to the highest setting, he still caught a whiff of a fresh fragrance.
It wasn’t pheromones; it was the scent of the same body wash he used.
“Teacher Liang… hehe, I smell sweet…” Mu Feng was talking in his sleep. He had no idea that to an Alpha, this was no different from an invitation.
He was too disobedient; he needed to be taught a lesson so he wouldn’t dare act recklessly again in the future.
Liang Yuhang looked down, a wicked thought stirring in his heart.
Mark him.
That voice vaguely rose up.
No, you’re only in a fake engagement; you have no real relationship.
Another voice of reason reminded him.
But he’s disobedient. He’s always provoking me. He needs to be taught a lesson.
the first thought came back again.
Liang Yuhang leaned down, pressing against the back of his neck, his breath falling on that patch of skin. The dominance inherent in an Alpha’s bones was fully revealed.
He held Mu Feng down and lowered his head. He touched it. If he went any further, the S-class Alpha’s pheromones would stimulate the boy into wakefulness.
“Liang Yuhang, I’m so happy to be engaged to you,” Mu Feng murmured in his dream of white roses.
The grip on his hand suddenly softened. Liang Yuhang tilted his head slightly, changed position, and left a deep teeth mark on the boy’s rounded shoulder.
Amidst the boy’s struggling resistance, he spoke calmly, “Endure it, even if it hurts.”
