Chapter 89: “Touch Me…” / “Du Xun, You Dropped Your Kid.”
Liang Yeta had witnessed Shen Zhuo in heat before.
He immediately threw open the door and rushed out, shouting in panic to the people in the living room:
“Do we have any suppressants?!”
“We have regular suppressants.”
Fu Qiuhe reacted instantly, going to fetch the medical kit.
Ai Li looked nervously at the study, preparing to message Ji Weishen to call Du Xun.
But at that moment, the pheromones spread into the living room.
The pheromones of a marked S5 Omega in heat were extremely unstable.
Without the soothing presence of their partner’s pheromones, they would become increasingly violent, transforming into high-level pheromones that only Du Xun could appease.
To anyone else, these rioting pheromones felt laced with aggression.
Ai Yuesheng, Fu Qiuhe, and Liang Yeta were all A-rank.
And while Ai Li was an S1, the chasm between him and an S5 was unbridgeable.
In just a few seconds, Fu Qishang was the only one in the room who could barely move.
Liang Yeta, whose gland had not yet fully recovered, bore the brunt of the impact.
He wanted to help.
But the excruciating pain in his gland made it impossible for him to even lift his eyes.
“You…”
Liang Yeta looked at Fu Qishang with difficulty, his fingers fumbling bit by bit in his pocket until he struggled to pull out his phone.
“Call… Commander… Du…”
Fu Qishang hesitated for only a second before covering the back of his neck, his face drenched in cold sweat, and stepping forward to take Liang Yeta’s phone.
He dialed quickly and received a response that Du Xun was coming immediately.
Hanging up the phone, the taste of blood rose in Fu Qishang’s throat.
Unable to support himself, he slowly knelt on the floor, looking around with difficulty.
S5 pheromones exerted absolute suppression.
Even Ai Li had collapsed on the sofa, his face pale, let alone the others who were only A-rank.
“Little… Uncle…”
Fu Qishang’s lips moved, his voice sticky and hoarse.
In the next moment, Fu Qishang seemed to make a decision.
Biting his lip until it bled, he propped himself against the wall, his legs trembling under the suppression.
Yet he still walked, step by step, toward the study.
He was an S3.
He was the only one who could use his pheromones to barely isolate a space.
When Fu Qishang entered the study, his lips were already bitten bloody.
After struggling to move his feet to close the study door, he immediately collapsed, kneeling at the doorway.
He pressed his back tightly against the door.
His gland felt like it was going to split open.
But for the first time, Fu Qishang felt a strange and unique emotion in his heart—
He was protecting others.
It was a different kind of pride, distinct from obeying his father’s every word.
He could actually protect others…
The S3 gland, overwhelmed, seeped traces of blood.
Yet, Fu Qishang curled his lips, his eyes bright, continuing to use his pheromones to isolate the space.
Ensuring the four people outside wouldn’t be hurt any further.
He looked at the unconscious Shen Zhuo.
The blood in his mouth gave him a sense of being alive for the first time.
Pheromones poured out continuously; resisting an S5 required more than five times the usual amount of effort.
His gland felt like it was drying up.
The agony was heart-rending, something he had never experienced before, as if every bone in his body was being crushed over and over again.
But why…
Was he truly happy?
His vision grew blurrier.
Before fainting, Fu Qishang was smiling.
His body went limp, his lips moving to say two words:
“…”
“Thank you.”
.
The moment the rosemary scent was released, all oppression vanished.
The chaotic Night-Blooming Cereus pheromones in the air, even with their owner still asleep, were safely retracted.
The man nodded to Ai Yuesheng and Fu Qiuhe, then immediately walked briskly toward the study.
Behind him, Ji Weishen and several medical staff immediately injected the group with recovery agents corresponding to their ranks.
Ji Weishen helped Ai Li up to lean against him, shaking him gently, at a loss for what to do.
When Du Xun pushed open the door, Fu Qishang had already been unconscious for nearly twenty minutes.
His gland had turned a blood-red color due to overuse.
He was as pale as a sheet of paper.
But Du Xun had no time or mind to care about him for now.
He directly ordered the medical staff to take Fu Qishang to the hospital.
Du Xun squatted in front of Shen Zhuo, wrapping him entirely in gentle, soothing pheromones.
He scooped Shen Zhuo up, arms under his back and knees, carrying him princess-style.
He left immediately, heading for the manor.
Due to the soothing pheromones, Shen Zhuo woke up in the car.
“Du… Xun…”
When Shen Zhuo woke up, his mind was in chaos.
He only remembered that he seemed to have caused trouble.
Du Xun pressed his lips against the boy’s forehead.
“I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
“I’m here.”
The boy’s voice trembled, his fingertips clutching Du Xun’s collar tightly:
“Are Uncle Ai and the others okay? Did they get hurt because of me…”
“No,” Du Xun reassured him immediately. “Everyone is fine. Just sleep peacefully, we’ll be home soon.”
Whether it was because Du Xun’s voice was truly effective, or because Shen Zhuo’s head was throbbing so much he couldn’t think, the boy closed his eyes obediently, his fingers trembling slightly.
Since knowing that Shen Zhuo’s heat cycle was unstable, Du Xun had been preparing every day.
So, when they returned to the bedroom at the manor, the first thing Shen Zhuo saw was a bed full of plush toys, large and small.
Every plush toy was filled to the brim with stored pheromones.
Because tomorrow and the day after would be very busy.
Du Xun really couldn’t get away from the military headquarters in the morning.
Several important meetings about border defense were related to border security.
So he could only speed up and finish everything to come home and accompany his wife in the afternoon.
Shen Zhuo’s heat wasn’t as severe as Du Xun losing his rationality.
He could still think about some things, for example—
“What are their names…”
Du Xun raised his eyebrows, looking at the plush toys on the bed.
“Um… this bear is called…”
Naming wasn’t something Commander-in-Chief Du was good at. Du Xun thought for a long time and tentatively said:
“Called… Little Bear?”
The boy turned his head to stare at him, puffing out his cheeks in disbelief.
“I don’t believe it, no bear is just called Little Bear.”
Du Xun laughed and made up a name:
“Called Kid.”
“Kid?” Shen Zhuo nodded.
Two seconds later, the boy didn’t care anymore.
He wrapped his arms around Du Xun’s neck: “Kiss me.”
The boy’s waist sank a little, landing in the Alpha’s palm, being kneaded gently but firmly.
Du Xun lowered his head, his lips grinding slowly and deeply.
The wet, hot sensation on the lips was addictive.
Shen Zhuo switched to holding the man’s chest with both hands, obediently raising his head.
The restless pheromones quieted down because of the soothing from his own Alpha.
After the kiss, the boy’s eyes were wet.
He looked up at the man like this, the corners of his eyes wet and red, the black hair at his temples tangled and messy.
Like a small animal, he pecked the man’s chin again.
“Like you.”
Du Xun froze for a moment.
“What…?”
Du Xun had actually heard Shen Zhuo say he liked him many times.
But his heart would still palpitate every time.
Beating wildly.
He cupped Shen Zhuo’s face, carried him to the edge of the bed, squatted halfway down, and begged softly:
“Say it again, say it again, okay?”
Shen Zhuo gazed into those eyes.
The gray-blue eyes were rippling with warmth, like water, filled only with one person’s reflection.
Gentle, ambiguous, and deeply affectionate.
Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch the Alpha’s face.
“I love you, Du Xun.”
The Omega raised a smile, clean and pure without any impurities.
“I love you.”
The night was deep, fireflies and starlight contrasting with the brightly lit interior of the manor.
The late summer evening breeze carried a chill, blowing past the corners of their clothes.
Autumn had not yet left its mark, but heartstrings were stirring.
Du Xun’s eyes reddened almost instantly.
He traced the boy’s face, but his hand was held down, guided from the hem of the clothes onto the skin of the waist.
“Touch me,” the Omega said softly.
The skin under his palm was scorching hot, smooth and delicate like suet jade.
Shen Zhuo held Du Xun’s hand through the clothes and moved it up bit by bit.
A soft pant escaped his lips.
Burning hot, carrying the scent of Night-Blooming Cereus.
The Alpha seemed bewitched, leaning down to lift the hem of the clothes, printing kisses one by one onto that waist.
Drawing the fragrance from that skin.
Like red plums blossoming, having tasted the marrow and craving more.
.
Shen Zhuo’s heat this time couldn’t really be considered lucid.
He thought he could at least take care of himself.
But when Du Xun prepared to go to the military headquarters in the morning, the boy became exceptionally clingy.
He even hugged Du Xun’s hat tightly and refused to let go when Du Xun put on his uniform.
Those eyes, red from sleeping late yesterday, glared at the man.
“Be good, give the hat back to me.” Du Xun kneeled on the bed and pinched the Omega’s cheek. “I’ll be back in the afternoon.”
Shen Zhuo knelt on the bed, pressing the hat in his arms, and shook his head.
“You’re not allowed to go.”
“Wife…” Du Xun leaned in helplessly to approach the Omega’s lips.
But after the kiss, his Alpha would leave.
Shen Zhuo guessed it.
So the boy pursed his lips and turned his head, refusing the kiss.
Du Xun missed the kiss, the corners of his mouth hooked up, but the action of his hands intensified a little.
Opening his hand, he pinched the boy’s cheek with one hand, making him look at himself.
Then he used a bit more force.
Shen Zhuo’s lips, unable to stay pursed, popped open, forming a pout.
Du Xun lowered his head and kissed him hard.
“Won’t let me kiss?”
His voice was hoarse and sexy. “Won’t let me kiss, Wife?”
The boy shook his head, then nodded.
Finally, he lowered his gaze to look at the hat in his arms:
“If I kiss you, you’ll disappear.”
The Omega’s voice was muffled, feeling extremely wronged.
But two seconds later, Shen Zhuo stuffed the hat into Du Xun’s arms as if venting his anger.
“Give it back to you.” The Omega said indignantly, “I’ll be good, I’ll be obedient, I’ll be sensible.”
Du Xun pressed the hat, not knowing how to coax him for a moment.
But he had to attend this meeting today…
Or change it to an online meeting?
Du Xun immediately took out his phone and sent a message that he would participate in the online meeting from home.
“Alright, you don’t need to be obedient or sensible.”
Du Xun stroked the boy’s hair. “I’m not leaving. I’ll be in the study later.”
Shen Zhuo’s eyes lit up instantly.
“But when I’m in the meeting, you can’t come in, okay?”
Du Xun was afraid that once this kid entered the study, the meeting would be over.
Shen Zhuo nodded before he even fully understood.
Until Du Xun prepared to go to the study for the meeting, Shen Zhuo still couldn’t remember what his Alpha had just said.
Shen Zhuo hugged the little bear and walked two circles outside the study.
Then he put the little bear on the ground.
He knocked on the door very politely.
“Du Xun, you dropped your Kid.”
