Chapter 60: I Want Your Pheromones
Mu Feng’s nose felt a bit sour, but he suppressed the mistiness in his eyes.
“Thank you, Teacher Liang,” he said softly.
“Wait, in broad daylight, how did those two end up hugging?” Jiang Yu’an hadn’t recovered from the backstab yet, and here was another blow.
Lu Zhuo looked over and was very calm. “Probably because he took first place and is too excited. It’s normal.”
“True. Being with Mu-bao for three years of high school, he was always at a ‘barely passing’ level. If he hadn’t hit the jackpot in the last exam, how could he have gotten into such a good university?” Jiang Yu’an lamented, “Things are different now. My grades used to be much better than his, but now I’m at the tail end. It’s all tears.”
“Letting you take baths and sleep.” Lu Zhuo laughed at him. “Let’s see if you dare to be lazy again.”
Jiang Yu’an sighed again. “No, why are they still hugging? That’s about enough.”
“They’re a legal couple, even if they haven’t registered yet. What’s wrong with a hug?” Zhou Tiantian finally felt elated. “Hurry up, son, call me Daddy.”
Jiang Yu’an’s face looked like he was at a funeral. He mumbled incoherently for a long time before squeezing out a completely indistinguishable “Daddy.”
“Recorded it.” Zhou Tiantian shook her phone, placed it near Mu Feng’s ear, and played it again.
“I’ll kill you.” Jiang Yu’an reached out to hook his neck. “I don’t want to live anymore. Let’s die together.”
Mu Feng was buried in Liang Yuhang’s arms, laughing uncontrollably. Only after he finished laughing did he realize they were still hugging.
He abruptly withdrew his hands like a spring. “I didn’t mean to hug for so long.”
Great. I’ve damaged Liang Yuhang’s reputation again, being this clingy with my fiancé in full view of everyone. It’s unseemly.
“It’s fine.” Liang Yuhang was calm. He looked down at his constantly vibrating phone. It was a message from Liang Zhaoqing.
[I heard from Liang Jingyi that Mu Feng is pregnant? Quickly take him to the hospital for an exam.]
Liang Yuhang gave a very light “tsk.” He was already lying in the hospital and yet he still wasn’t being peaceful.
[Not pregnant. I was just teasing him.] [Then it’s also a good time to go for an exam. You’ll have to prepare sooner or later anyway.] [Mu Feng is still young; I’m not considering it.]
Liang Zhaoqing directly called. “I heard from Professor Zhang that Mu Feng took first place in the quiz this time?”
Liang Yuhang hummed. He raised his eyes to look at the elated boy and praised, “He was already very smart. With a bit of guidance, he can do anything.”
“He isn’t as much of a waste as I thought.” Liang Zhaoqing said. “Bring him to the hospital later for an exam. We should have tested your compatibility before the engagement anyway.”
Mu Feng turned his head to look at him, mouthing: “Who is it?”
“My dad.” Liang Yuhang answered silently, then said to the other end, “We’ll see. I have no such plans. Hanging up.”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Feng spoke much more intimately with him now and asked casually.
Liang Yuhang put away his phone. “Liang Jingyi was talking nonsense. My dad thinks you’re pregnant and wants you to have an exam.”
Mu Feng: “…”
This guy… truly fears the world isn’t chaotic enough. He can take even a casual sentence as truth.
Pregnant? Even if I strip naked, Liang Yuhang won’t enter.
Simply a contemporary holy monk.
Liang Yuhang said again, “But you should have a physical exam. Sometime soon, I’ll do it for you.”
Mu Feng: !!!!
The joy of taking first place was instantly dispelled. Was there anything more terrifying than this?
Liang Yuhang giving him a physical exam.
This exam would not be a benefit of intimate contact; it would be a nightmare.
Pretending to be an Omega was something the man had suggested, and the blockers were also provided by him. He could fool the hospital, but he definitely couldn’t fool a Liang Yuhang who was conducting a serious test.
If he found out he was an Alpha… in wealthy families, AO was always the standard. The engagement would be dissolved, wouldn’t it?
Mu Feng’s expression was very grave, and his whole being was filled with resistance. “I… no need. I have a super good body. No need for an exam.”
“Good my ass. He often goes to the hospital.” Jiang Yu’an was very resentful about the backstab and spoke up, “The day you two first met, he had a fever.”
Mu Feng ground his teeth. “Actually, you could just not speak.”
Liang Yuhang hummed. “How about today? The test just ended, and there’s nothing much going on.”
“No, no, no, no. I’m afraid.” Mu Feng quickly retreated three meters away. “I’m not doing it. Not even if I die. I’m going back to the lab to continue doing research.”
Liang Yuhang narrowed his eyes slightly. Such resistance. Why?
He turned his head to look at Jiang Yu’an. “Does he have some kind of hidden illness?”
Jiang Yu’an had a serious face. “What? Thinking of regretting the engagement? You can. You dissolve it, and I’ll take over.”
Liang Yuhang: “…I have no such plan.”
“Why did you suddenly start caring about Mu-bao? What are your intentions?” Jiang Yu’an was on high alert.
“Isn’t it normal to care about my fiancé’s health?” In a single sentence, Liang Yuhang rendered the other party speechless.
Jiang Yu’an shook his head and turned into the lab to find Mu Feng, who was catching white mice. “I suspect Liang Yuhang has ulterior motives toward you.”
Mu Feng abruptly exerted force, and the white mice squeaked. “How is that possible? Were you stimulated by taking dead last?”
“Seriously.” Jiang Yu’an analyzed, “Look, you two are engaged. You’re such a beautiful Omega; he must be thinking it would be a waste not to sleep with you, and he’s fooling you into doing a compatibility test!”
Mu Feng thought to himself: No need to do it. The compatibility is zero.
He gave two awkward laughs. “Don’t think of Teacher Liang in that ‘dirty’ way. He’s very upright; he hasn’t even touched me once until now.”
Mhm. His own proactive actions didn’t count; the man just hadn’t touched him.
Jiang Yu’an concluded, “He’s acting. The more someone appears abstinent on the surface, the more ‘wildly’ they might play behind the scenes. You have to be careful.”
Mu Feng stabbed the reagent into the white mouse and replied vaguely, “I know. I have a plan.”
He had to find a way to fudge the physical exam.
Liang Yuhang would definitely sense something was wrong. How could he deceive him?
“Xiao Jiang, how about letting me draw a tube of blood?” Mu Feng showed a kind smile.
“Why draw it again!!!” Jiang Yu’an covered his arm. “After the last time, my body was weak for several days; I was floating while walking.”
“Contributing to the cause of research.” Mu Feng said seriously, “You are the best friend in the world. In the future, on my thesis, you will be in the acknowledgments section in bold and caps.”
Jiang Yu’an was made light-headed by the flattery again and rolled up his sleeve. “Draw it!”
Mu Feng cleaned and disinfected, performing a sterile operation, and drew three full tubes.
He took the blood samples upstairs to find Zhang Luyan, stammering, “Help me with a favor. Do you have a blood sample of Teacher Liang here? Do a compatibility test.”
Zhang Luyan had just finished bragging to others that his direct disciple Mu Feng took first place, and was currently in a good mood. “Why not call him over to test together?”
“I’m afraid the compatibility won’t be high and he’ll be unhappy,” Mu Feng said.
“You two are going to get married. You can’t be this afraid of him.”
Zhang Luyan took the blood samples and lectured as he performed the test, “In the base, he is the teacher. At home, you are his wife; he has to listen to you.”
Mu Feng nodded perfunctorily, his eyes always on the testing device.
Zhang Luyan said again, “I’ve taught that brat Liang Yuhang for a few years, and I’ve never seen him get close to any Omega. I thought he was going to die alone. You’re truly capable.”
Mu Feng stared at the instrument. “Is the result out?”
“Ah, this…” Zhang Luyan looked at the report data. “The compatibility is indeed not very high. Fifteen percent. Just barely okay.”
Mu Feng let out a sigh. Fine. It’s better than zero percent.
No wonder Jiang Yu’an and Liang Yuhang bickered as soon as they met; there was absolutely no physiological attraction.
Zhang Luyan thought he was dejected and comforted, “It doesn’t matter. He has a high grade. Even an Omega with low compatibility will be attracted.”
“Okay. I understand. Give me the report.” Mu Feng looked very calm.
“You won’t do anything rash, will you?” Zhang Luyan gave a serious warning. “There are many couples with low compatibility. Two people being together is about the fit of their values and personality attraction; it has nothing to do with pheromones. I’ve seen couples who were completely incompatible stay together for a lifetime.”
Even though it was an accidental discovery, Mu Feng was also comforted and nodded with a smile.
He took the report upstairs to find Liang Yuhang, saying with a “broken jar” attitude, “I tested it. Not very compatible.”
Liang Yuhang took the report and flipped through it, then set it aside. “I told you to have an exam to see if your body is healthy, not to do a compatibility test.”
“Isn’t that what your dad wants to check?” Mu Feng pursed his lips. He was even lower than this fifteen percent.
“Why do you look unhappy?” Liang Yuhang leaned back in his swivel chair. “Because of the low compatibility?”
“Exactly. Such low compatibility… if your dad finds out, he’ll definitely explode.” Mu Feng spoke a mix of truth and lies.
If he knew he was an Alpha, he would be a bomb that would blow up the base.
Liang Yuhang said nonchalantly, “That’s simple. I’ll make a pseudo-reagent that can instantly make us a hundred percent match.”
Mu Feng: “…”
How did that saying go? Two people sleeping under one quilt won’t have two different ways of thinking. They had only slept together once, yet their thinking was surprisingly consistent.
The pseudo-reagent for pretending to be an Omega had been made that way.
But in the end, it was fake. From a physiological standpoint, they were completely repulsive, extremely mismatched.
Liang Yuhang looked into his eyes. “What are you thinking? I said before, whatever you think, say it directly.”
Mu Feng moved his lips. “I want to smell your scent. This is the reward I want for taking first place.”
This time he didn’t use any blockers. He wanted to truly feel it once, even if what it brought was pain.
Liang Yuhang stared at him fixedly. Rationally, he felt it wasn’t appropriate, yet he still gave the reward.
Several seconds later, wormwood instantly swept and spread out.
Mu Feng closed his eyes, restraining the urge to counterattack. His face turned pale as he fell into Liang Yuhang’s arms. “So fierce… I can’t hold on.”
