Chapter 206
Because Wen Jiafei had been waiting outside, Shen Shuyu took an extremely quick shower and came out of the bathroom not long after. He walked out of the bedroom. The way Wen Jiafei had been when he went in to shower was exactly how he was now.
However, upon hearing the noise, he quickly turned his head to look at Shen Shuyu.
Shen Shuyu folded his arms and walked over to sit beside him. Meeting his clear eyes, he asked, “Clear-headed now?”
Wen Jiafei pursed his lips. “Yes.”
The inhibitor’s effect was very good. Wen Jiafei withdrew his gaze, his ears now flushing red. He obviously hadn’t forgotten his behavior just now.
He stole another glance at Shen Shuyu. Would Shen Shuyu still acknowledge what had just happened?
Or was he just coaxing him?
Shen Shuyu saw through his thoughts at a glance, chuckled, and said, “Afraid I’ll regret it?”
Wen Jiafei didn’t speak, becoming a mute again.
Shen Shuyu said, “Look up.”
Wen Jiafei slowly raised his head, staring at Shen Shuyu without blinking, and then watched as Shen Shuyu leaned in a bit and quickly kissed the corner of his mouth.
Shen Shuyu sat back up and said, “I won’t regret the decisions I make.”
Wen Jiafei was visibly happy. He shifted his position and leaned a bit closer to Shen Shuyu until their bodies were touching. He then stopped and said sincerely, “I like you.”
He wanted to say it again, seriously and while clear-headed.
But after saying it, he was afraid Shen Shuyu would think it wasn’t formal enough. He leaned in, restrained himself, and only kissed the corner of Shen Shuyu’s mouth once. “I… don’t regret it either.”
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help but laugh.
He didn’t know when he had confirmed his own feelings either.
But thinking that it was Wen Jiafei he was kissing just now, he hadn’t thought of avoiding it.
Although the inhibitor had taken effect, Alpha instincts still made Wen Jiafei want to get a bit closer to Shen Shuyu.
Moreover, since they had just confessed their feelings, he wanted to be close to Shen Shuyu even more. He wanted to feel his breath and his temperature.
He thought he was only getting a little bit closer and that Shen Shuyu wouldn’t notice, but in reality, all his actions were within Shen Shuyu’s view.
Shen Shuyu reached out his hand. Wen Jiafei was stunned for a moment before placing his hand upon it. After their hands were joined, Shen Shuyu asked, “Does this feel a bit better?”
Only then did Wen Jiafei realize that Shen Shuyu was looking out for his emotions. He tightened his grip a bit. “Yes.”
Shen Shuyu said, “Is an Alpha’s rut always like this? Like you’ve become a different person.”
Wen Jiafei said in a low, raspy voice, “Most ruts are just uncomfortable and prone to impulsiveness, but they’ll recover after an inhibitor injection. It’s… much better for Alphas with partners to be with their Omegas.”
“Oh.” Shen Shuyu elongated the sound and asked, “Which kind do you belong to?”
Wen Jiafei’s ears were flushed red. He naturally hadn’t forgotten that just now, he had been sticking to Shen Shuyu like a piece of plaster and would burst into tears whenever he got emotional.
He hadn’t experienced a rut before, and he hadn’t expected his own to be like this.
Wen Jiafei obediently lowered his head and didn’t answer Shen Shuyu’s question.
Shen Shuyu was clearly out to tease him.
Knowing that the clear-headed Wen Jiafei was thin-skinned, Shen Shuyu stopped teasing and said, “Alright, let’s talk business.”
Wen Jiafei tightened his grip on the hand he was holding. “Okay.”
Shen Shuyu said, “I have to head back with my parents tomorrow.”
Hearing Shen Shuyu say he was leaving, Wen Jiafei’s emotions began to destabilize again. He leaned over, his head cautiously pressing against Shen Shuyu’s. “Do you have to go?”
An Alpha’s rut would last for 3–5 days. This was Wen Jiafei’s first rut, and he could hardly stand the thought of Shen Shuyu leaving just by hearing it.
He held Shen Shuyu’s hand with one hand while grabbing the fabric of Shen Shuyu’s clothes with the other, looking extremely insecure.
Shen Shuyu’s heart softened, and he said, “I have to. I have some things to handle back home. But I’ll come over once I’ve handled them.”
Wen Jiafei didn’t speak. Shen Shuyu continued to ask, “By the way, I still don’t understand why you suddenly came over here.”
Based on Shen Shuyu’s understanding of Wen Jiafei, his life was already on the right track, and the days for him and Wen Yue were getting better and better. Given his personality, he didn’t seem like someone who would get involved in such a complicated matter.
After all, the power of the Ning family was indeed attractive, but similarly, there were many people eyeing it.
Shen Shuyu also recalled that when he went to the bar to look for Wen Jiafei, a colleague mentioned that someone named Ning was looking for him. That person was likely someone from the Ning family. It was just that Wen Jiafei had returned to Siro a step ahead of time. If Wen Jiafei hadn’t come, he couldn’t even imagine what kind of scene he would have faced.
Wen Jiafei sat up straight and said, “Ning Shan looked for me and asked me to come back.”
Shen Shuyu looked at him. Wen Jiafei’s eyes flickered, and Shen Shuyu said, “You seem to be lying.”
Wen Jiafei silently turned his face aside, as if he hadn’t heard Shen Shuyu’s words.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyu raised an eyebrow and said, “Fine. If you’re not willing to say, then forget it. It’s getting late; go back and rest too.”
Shen Shuyu thought for a moment and said, “There are still two bodyguards on duty at your door. Can you go back like this?”
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Wen Jiafei held on very tightly. His head was lowered. He was already in his rut, and sensing that Shen Shuyu seemed a bit angry with him made him feel a bit panicked.
Actually, Shen Shuyu had no other choice. The System wouldn’t allow him to directly expose it. He would deal with each move as it came. Until the very last moment, he really didn’t want to let the System forcibly strip away that external system.
Because without thinking, he knew it would be very painful.
Shen Shuyu stood up, looked down at Wen Jiafei, and said gently, “It really is very late. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“But you’re leaving tomorrow.” Wen Jiafei pulled on Shen Shuyu’s hand with a bit of force, pulling him to stand in front of him. His hands changed to wrap around his waist, his head resting on his abdomen. “I just don’t know how to say it.”
“Everyone has secrets; it’s normal. If it’s hard to say, then don’t say it.” Shen Shuyu pried Wen Jiafei’s arms from his waist and said, “I’m going to rest now. Remember to turn off the lights for me before you leave.”
Shen Shuyu left without a backward glance. He entered the bedroom, but the bedroom door wasn’t closed tightly.
Shen Shuyu lay on the bed. He placed his terminal aside, turned off the light, and closed his eyes.
As for Wen Jiafei sitting in the living room, he could naturally see that the light in the bedroom had been turned off through the gap. He took a deep breath, stood up, and first went to turn off the light in the living room. However, he didn’t leave. Instead, using the light filtering in from outside, he slowly made his way to the bedroom.
The bedroom door was pushed open gently. Only then did Wen Jiafei see a dim nightlight left on the bedside table. Shen Shuyu’s back was toward the light, and his eyes were closed; it was hard to tell if he was truly asleep.
Wen Jiafei stood by the bed for a while before slowly walking toward the nightlight. He reached out and turned off the light, and then he also cautiously lay down on the bed.
He didn’t want to leave Shen Shuyu.
Wen Jiafei looked at Shen Shuyu’s back, pursed his thin lips, and still shuffled closer. He embraced Shen Shuyu, his forehead resting on his shoulder, and said, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t know how to say it.”
“Then don’t say it,” Shen Shuyu said. “Sleep.”
Wen Jiafei held him a bit tighter. His chest was pressed against Shen Shuyu’s back, seemingly wanting to transfer his high temperature to him, and even more so, wanting to become one with him.
The hotel’s inhibitor effect wasn’t good at all.
Wen Jiafei’s emotions surged up again. He silently moved his hand along Shen Shuyu’s arm and wrist, and finally, after pushing his fingers into the gaps between Shen Shuyu’s fingers, he seemed to feel a bit better—but only a little bit.
Shen Shuyu didn’t respond to him at all.
“Shen Shuyu.” Wen Jiafei’s kiss landed on the fabric of his shoulder. “Please don’t ignore me, okay?”
Shen Shuyu opened his eyes in the darkness. He took a slow, deep breath but still didn’t reply.
He couldn’t. He remembered his purpose at every moment, which was to get that external system to get out of Wen Jiafei’s body.
He looked toward the drawer. The sedative given to him by the System was currently in the drawer. Did it really have to come to this step?
Shen Shuyu was also suffering repeatedly. The System said it would be painful, but brief pain was better than the subsequent backlash.
He let out a breath in the darkness and slightly propped up his upper body, preparing to reach for the items in the drawer. But the Wen Jiafei behind him held him tightly and said in panic, “Don’t go.”
“I’m not…” Before Shen Shuyu could finish, the Wen Jiafei behind him said, “I’ll tell you everything. Don’t go.”
Shen Shuyu pursed his lips and lay back down.
As soon as he lay down, he felt Wen Jiafei’s leg cross over his legs under the quilt. His waist was confined, and Wen Jiafei was now completely transformed into an octopus clinging to Shen Shuyu’s back.
His body temperature was already very high because of the rut, and the heating in the room was also set very high. Before long, Shen Shuyu felt like he was about to sweat from the heat.
Wen Jiafei pressed his face against Shen Shuyu’s and whispered, “After Ning Shan found me, something ran into my head. It said its name is the Luck System.”
“The Luck System?” Shen Shuyu repeated the name. Wen Jiafei gave a hum. “Yes. It was a bit bizarre. I just remember having a dream that night, and when I woke up the next day, it was in my head.”
At first, Wen Jiafei also wondered if it was an illusion caused by poor sleep and specifically rested for a while longer, but the Luck System was still there.
He was very wary of this thing at first; it had entered his head for no apparent reason.
Until the Luck System showed him its ability—the ability to foresee the future.
“It told me that if I didn’t return to the Ning family, then the dream I had would become a reality in the near future.”
Shen Shuyu frowned. “What kind of dream did you have?”
To think that it made someone as wary as Wen Jiafei agree.
Wen Jiafei sensed the body temperature of the person in his arms. The night was quiet, and when they didn’t speak, they could both hear each other’s heartbeat.
Wen Jiafei said, “I dreamed… that you died.”
