Chapter 19: You Did It on Purpose
Mu Feng lowered his eyes, looking at the beautiful cake box.
Pale pink mousse, topped with a round, white little cat. Given the occasion of dining with high-ranking military officials, this didn’t seem like a dessert that would be served there.
“This… was it given at the dinner?” Mu Feng asked.
“No, I specifically asked the pastry chef to make it,” Liang Yuhang said. “Because 0717 said you were very angry.”
He emphasized the word “very.”
Mu Feng’s ears turned redder, feeling like an unreasonable child who didn’t know his limits. He raised a hand to rub his earlobe. “He exaggerated too much. Really didn’t.”
“So you weren’t very angry; he used you as an excuse to skip work?” Liang Yuhang raised an eyebrow. “Then I’ll have to deduct his wages.”
0717 had kept him company all day. Even if Mu Feng had no conscience, he couldn’t stab him in the back. He retorted, “Of course not. I wasn’t angry either, just… a little…”
“A little what?”
“A little disappointed.” Mu Feng carefully chose his words. “At least I thought our relationship was slightly better than when we first met.”
Liang Yuhang was satisfied with his answer. “So next time you’re unhappy, tell me directly instead of hiding.”
Mu Feng regarded Liang Yuhang as a high mountain, a lighthouse—only to be looked up to, not disturbed.
He hoped the emotions he brought to Liang Yuhang were happiness and joy, not trouble.
He had been in the dark for too long, so hearing such words made him momentarily lost. “Can I?”
“You can.” Liang Yuhang looked at him. “Although I am older than you, I can’t handle everything flawlessly. If there’s something wrong, tell me directly.”
Mu Feng thought, A Liang Yuhang like this will only make me fall deeper.
He nodded, carefully holding the cake box, afraid of damaging even a bit of it, and reluctant to eat it. “Okay. This, I’ll take it back to eat.”
“Brushed your teeth again?”
“No, didn’t.”
“Then you don’t like it.”
“I like it. I like sweet things.”
Liang Yuhang looked at him, probing, “Are you like Mumu? Can’t bear to use the things you like, wanting to hoard them?”
Stray cats were like that. Living meal to meal, they’d rather dig through trash cans than eat expensive canned food.
He heard from Liang Jingyi today that Mu Feng didn’t have a good life at home.
Probably had something in common.
Mu Feng didn’t expect him to see through even this. He was a bit flustered. “I guess. Besides Little Jiang, no one has really given me things.”
“Eat it here.”
Liang Yuhang reached out directly, opened the packaging for him, and handed over the small fork. “There will be more in the future.”
In the future—truly too beautiful a phrase.
Mu Feng took the small fork, picking and choosing, avoiding the little cat on top, and dug a spoonful from the very edge.
Lychee flavor.
Liang Yuhang must think he liked this flavor. Clearly, that nutrient solution was prepared specifically for him. What a beautiful misunderstanding.
“Won’t you have some?” Mu Feng turned the good side of the cake towards him. “There’s another spoon.”
Liang Yuhang didn’t decline. He lowered his eyes to look at it, then cleanly shoveled off that little cat.
Put it in his mouth. The cream melted, very sweet and greasy.
“Ate it.” His tone was very ruthless.
Mu Feng: !!!!!
Pretty little cat! Such a white and soft little cat, how could you just eat it!!!!
But he couldn’t yell at Liang Yuhang.
He could only suck in a breath of cold air. It’s okay, it’s okay. There will be cat cakes in the future.
Ahhhh Liang Yuhang is so annoying.
Should have taken a photo just now. Damn it, just gone like that.
The cake had been ruined by a certain steely straight Alpha with no sense of romance. Mu Feng dropped his reserve and stuffed mouthful after mouthful into his mouth indignantly.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Liang Yuhang tilted his head to look at him. “Want to say something?”
Mu Feng couldn’t bear it anymore and looked up to accuse him. “Why did you eat the little cat so rudely? Simply unromantic.”
Liang Yuhang laughed.
A very soft sound, but successfully caught by the other.
His features were very sharp, always giving people the oppressive feeling of a superior. When he smiled, he softened a lot. The thin lips quirked up, making it hard to look away.
Mu Feng’s anger instantly dissipated by half. No, fully dissipated.
Truly too handsome. Can’t help it. With this face, who could stay angry?
Liang Yuhang said, “Learned it yet? Emotions should be expressed directly, just like that slap you gave Liang Jingyi. You did very well.”
He didn’t scold him for causing trouble; he even gave praise.
Mu Feng realized belatedly, opening his mouth. “You did it on purpose. Ate the little cat on purpose to make me angry.”
Liang Yuhang hummed in agreement. “Mu Feng, this is also homework. Practice often.”
Practice how to express emotions correctly.
Mu Feng understood.
No one had taught him. This was the first lesson of life he should have learned long ago.
His eyes were a bit damp. He nodded heavily. “Okay, Teacher Liang.”
“Going back.” Before Mu Feng could take the pile of packaging trash away, Liang Yuhang reached out and took it.
Mu Feng sighed in his heart. Wanted to keep the box.
He wanted to stay with Liang Yuhang a bit longer but was afraid of wasting his time, so he rushed back to the dorm. Curtains drawn, he decisively transformed into a cat.
As soon as Liang Yuhang entered the door, Mumu pounced on him very passionately. “So enthusiastic?”
Mu Feng thought, Wanted to hug you just now, but held back.
Now he wanted to hug big and kiss big.
So he looked up and planted a solid kiss on Liang Yuhang’s left cheek—more accurately, a lick.
The soft touch slid wetly across the cheek.
Liang Yuhang grabbed the back of its neck and turned to look at 0717. “What did he do today? Like he mutated.”
“Who knows, in heat maybe.”
0717 had no good face for this troublemaking bad cat. “Tomorrow I can find time to take him to get neutered.”
Mu Feng: “…………”
0717, actually sometimes you don’t need to talk.
Liang Yuhang looked down at the cat. Its round eyes were also looking at him. “Still coming?”
Mu Feng thought, A slice to the head or a slice to the neck, it’s all the same.
So he steeled his heart, leaned in, and planted another solid kiss on the right cheek.
Liang Yuhang: .
He asked 0717 very calmly, “Male cats in heat are like this?”
0717 lay sprawled on the sofa like a lord. “Who knows? Maybe it’s gay.”
“Why would a gay cat kiss me?” Liang Yuhang felt asking him wasn’t a good option.
0717 gave up completely. “Then it’s an owner-complex. Those exist. Yes. Bear with it.”
Liang Yuhang: “…………”
Out of patience, he commanded, “Get out and sleep.”
0717 finally got off work, bouncing up from the sofa very happily. “Alright! Wish you a pleasant evening. Off work, off work, off work.”
Really noisy.
Liang Yuhang put Mumu on the floor and went into the bathroom to shower. The cat followed step by step.
“Why so clingy?” He lowered his eyes to glance at it, not minding.
Mu Feng followed him in just like that.
The magnificent view he missed in the pool—at this moment, a feast for the eyes.
“No, can’t look anymore.” Mu Feng covered his eyes with his paws. “What if I trigger his susceptibility period? Still have exams later.”
Liang Yuhang watched it rush in and rush out like a cannonball, reckless.
He thought, Too busy lately. Should find time to take the cat for a checkup. Probably something wrong with its brain too.
Mu Feng pressed against Liang Yuhang. The strong, powerful heartbeat was the best lullaby, and he slept comfortably.
He woke up a bit late. When he opened his eyes, Zhou Tiantian was slapping his face wildly. “Could he be dead?”
“Shut up. Your words are truly unlucky.”
Jiang Yuan frowned tight. “Mu Bao slept from nine o’clock back then until now. Sleeps more than me. It’s abnormal. Could he have fainted from reading too many books?”
Zhou Tiantian thought for a moment and sucked in a breath. “Then I can only sacrifice myself and do artificial respiration.”
Hearing this, Mu Feng snapped his eyes open. Inches away, he met Zhou Tiantian’s gaze.
The two fell into a weird silence simultaneously.
Mu Feng moved his lips. “Can you back up a bit? Your hair is sweeping into my eyes.”
Zhou Tiantian reached up and scratched his messy green hair. “I wasn’t going to kiss you. I wasn’t. I was just afraid you died. Good heavens, I am not a gay who likes Omegas.”
Mu Feng realized the dorm was indeed inconvenient. “I didn’t say you were gay. Don’t imagine things.”
“Scared me to death.” Zhou Tiantian let out a long sigh. “Mainly, the look you gave me was like looking at a pervert.”
Jiang Yuan looked at him. “Aren’t you? A pervert who doesn’t sleep all night.”
Mu Feng’s head hurt from the noise. Luckily he wasn’t discovered. He quickly changed the subject. “Go, go, go. Wash up and eat.”
Jiang Yuan was still bickering with Zhou Tiantian, not stopping until they walked to the lobby and saw several aircraft parked outside.
Mu Feng followed their gaze and found Liang Yuhang and the professor there, seeming to be waiting for someone.
“Who is it? Such a grand setup.” Jiang Yuan leaned over to look.
The aircraft opened, and an officer in a dark blue military uniform strode down. He looked young but high-spirited.
Zhou Tiantian recognized him in a second. “Wow, Xie Xingchen from the Dark Star Special Forces! His combat record is super awesome. Only a year or two older than us, already promoted to Major.”
“How do you know everything?” Jiang Yuan frowned.
“How do you know nothing?” Zhou Tiantian retorted. “Only know eating and sleeping.”
“Colonel Liang, thank you for your help this time. The Alliance will donate a batch of instruments; they’ll arrive in two days.” Xie Xingchen raised his hand to salute.
Liang Yuhang returned the salute. “No need to be polite, Major Xie. Been communicating via comms, finally met. Everything is smooth here, no need to worry.”
“This one’s not bad. Handsome, potential stock, similar age.” Jiang Yuan evaluated. “Mu Bao, if you’re looking, look for an Alpha like this.”
His voice wasn’t quiet. Reaching the ears of the two conversing over there, both paused.
Liang Yuhang raised an eyebrow slightly. “Looking for one like this?”
Stared at by Teacher Liang, Mu Feng shook his head frantically, stating his stance. “No no no no, I only have studying in my heart, not dating.”
Jiang Yuan, watching the drama, didn’t think it was big enough. “Is Major Xie single?”
Xie Xingchen smiled, his tone very frank. “I have someone I have a secret crush on. Counting it up, this is the fourth year I’ve liked him.”
