CH 19

Shen Dai’s face suddenly heated up, he lightly held Qu Moyu’s hand that was wrapped around his waist, and quietly inserted his five fingers between Qu Moyu’s fingers. He wanted to return the same affection but was trying hard not to feel embarrassed.

Qu Moyu deliberately pinched his fingers, and Shen Dai made a ‘hiss’ in pain. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but his hand was clasped by Qu Moyu. There was a playful low laugh in his ear, and Shen Dai felt that his face was getting hotter and was about to burn.

“The smell is so weak…” Qu Moyu muttered in dissatisfaction, biting on the pheromone barrier sticker with his teeth, peeled it off, and rubbed the tip of his nose on Shen Dai’s glands, like opening the mud seal of a jar of wine, containing the long-awaited fragrance that was about to come out. He inhaled deeply, allowing the light fragrance of the ephemera flower to penetrate into his nose and lungs, as if to purify all the turbid air he had ingested this day in an instant. He pulled Shen Dai by his chin, held the soft lips, and kissed gently and attentively. This delicate kissing method was like tasting a dish unhurriedly.

Shen Dai’s body relaxed, he closed his eyes, and felt the collision. He kept up with the tip of his own tongue. Qu Moyu wrapped his fingers with a moderate amount of force, making him feel like he was being grasped firmly, and he was using much less of a force, so that his intention to grasp the other person was less so obvious.

Qu Moyu licked his moist lips: “Why did you run away these days?”

“I went home to see my grandma.”

“Oh, I thought you were shy and didn’t dare to see me.”

Shen Dai didn’t know how to respond to this kind of flirting.

Qu Moyu chuckled: “Look, you’re so easy to feel shy.”

“Mr. Qu, I…”

“What should you call me?”

“…Moyu.”

“Yeah.” Qu Moyu touched his soft hair and said regretfully, “You were more enthusiastic in those three days.”

In order to hide his embarrassment, Shen Dai quickly explained: “It’s because of estrus, so I was more…”

“More what?” Qu Moyu leaned closer to his ear and gently bit his earlobe, “More audacious? Well, I like you to be a little more audacious.”

Shen Dai just felt like he wanted to jump out of the car.

Qu Moyu’s hand traced his back all the way to his buttock, his voice was bewitching: “I will like it if you would take the initiative, can you act a little coquettish?”

“I-I can learn.”

Qu Moyu chuckled: “Do you have to learn this too? You are an omega, isn’t it instinctive?”

Shen Dai’s eyes kept blinking: “Maybe I’m not quite used to it yet.”

“Then learn.” Qu Moyu kissed Shen Dai’s tender cheek, “you have to learn how to make me happy, for example, laugh often in front of me, take the initiative to get close to me, be coquettish, and, of course, you also need to be reserved when we’re at work. But when I need you…” His kiss gradually went down, and went around the fragrant back of his neck, “You have to be audacious as much as you like.” As soon as he finished speaking, he took a bite on the skin close to the gland.

Shen Dai’s body trembled, he couldn’t help shrinking his shoulders. But he paused for a while before taking the initiative to wrap his hands around Qu Moyu’s neck and cuddle into that generous chest.

sIf he understood these words correctly, Qu Moyu asked him to learn to ‘please’ him. To ‘please’ is a very interesting word. It does not mean for both of them to achieve pleasure but it mostly means that Qu Moyu is more concerned about achieving the pleasure for himself. The pleasure on the bed…

It’s just that he may not be able to do it well – he knows how to be nice to someone, but he doesn’t know how to ‘please’ someone on the bed.

“Good, you will be rewarded if you do well.” Qu Moyu said with a smile, “Your grandma is sick, right? She has stage two stomach cancer and is going to have surgery soon.”

Shen Dai stared at Qu Moyu blankly.

“The hospital, the chief surgeon, post-operative care, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and medication, I will help you solve them all, as a reward for your… ‘service beyond the scope of the contract’.”

Shen Dai felt conflicted at the moment. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while. But then he hesitantly was only able to whisper a simple “thank you”. No one was willing to accept help from others over and over. Especially if the help came from someone they have feelings for. It is a heavy moral shackle, but there are many things in this world that are far more important than their dignity, such as the well-being of their family.

“You’re welcome.” Qu Moyu is well versed in the art of control. In his opinion, everything in this world revolves around nothing but the exchange of value. There is the law of conservation of energy between substances, and there is also cause and effect between people. He ought to get what he wanted at a lower cost.

The two were making out all the way until they got home. When they got out of the car, the ambiguous atmosphere did not completely dissipate. Qu Moyu did not deliberately avoid the knowing eyes of the driver and the housekeeper. It is obvious of what was happening between them so why should he bother covering up?

After staying in Qu’s house for three months, this was the second night that Shen Dai and Qu Moyu had dinner together in the dining hall. During this time, Qu Moyu asked some things about the research institute. Such topics brough Shen Dai to his comfort zone so he answered fluently.

Before leaving the table after eating, Qu Moyu said to Shen Dai with a comfortable expression; “I’ll find you at night.” His voice was neither too loud nor too small, making the declaration neither ostentatious nor concealed.

sThis sentence made Shen Dai feel uneasy. After he returned to his room, he managed to calm down after reading more than ten pages of difficult literature review. Then he went to take a shower. He washed himself so hard that his skin was mostly reddened.

It’s too bad, he’s never been one to get nervous easily. But once he is involved in anything that has something to do with Qu Moyu, he’s always so nervous. Because this time is different from the other time. When he was in estrus, he had already lost his mind to instincts. But now that he is in a sober state, to do something like that with Qu Moyu, he really needs some psychological preparation.

After coming out of the shower, he noticed that there were some toiletries on the washstand that were not there before. He looked around and found that there were also some bottles and cans in the shower that did not belong to him. And there were bathrobes that were obviously not his size hanging on the wall.

Shen Dai walked out of the bathroom. When he opened the closet, he found that several sets of Qu Moyu’s pyjamas were in there. Other than that, some condoms and lubricants were already neatly placed on the bedside table.

Were these things he put in the days when he went home? Some vague memory fragments gave him a different answer. He now remembered that when he was tortured to the point of losing consciousness, Uncle Heng and Aunt Lan had come in his room more than once. They delivered meals, delivered various other things, and they also did some cleaning and arranging of the room. Meanwhile, Qu Moyu also made his phone calls, read through documents, and held video conferences using his laptop in this room.

During those three days, he actually had memories of what had happened most of the time. But he was just ashamed to recall the memories so he instinctively tried to escape from them.

He remembered the time when Uncle Heng came at first with a condom. Aunt Lan also later came with a bite stopper. He remembered how Qu Moyu was hitting his genital cavity, causing him a lot of pain. For an alpha, there is an instinctive urge to enter the genital cavity to form a knot and sow the seed for the next generation. But Qu Moyu would never do that. Whether it’s a condom or a bite stopper, it’s all to prevent himself from giving in to ‘impulses’ and prevent him from having an actual real connection with him.

Qu Moyu just needs him to be a bed partner that he can use whenever he wants, and he is aware of it from the beginning till the end.

Later into the night, Qu Moyu came to Shen Dai’s room. Shen Dai gathered up his courage and took the initiative to hug him. He also tiptoed to reach his height to kiss him, and the two kissed all the way from the door to the bed.

Sex in a sober state caused him to sink endlessly…

When he went to work the next day, Shen Dai yawned all morning.

Qu Moyu only did it once with him last night. But an S-class Alpha’s physical fitness was unbelievable. The result was he ended up being tired and sleepy, and he woke up late again in the morning.

While checking the data, Shen Dai heard some noises outside the laboratory door. He looked out through the window and saw a group of people were passing by his door. He saw many familiar figures, including the people from other research institutes. There was also another familiar person over there. It’s one of whom he didn’t wish to see the most. But he unseen him because of his superior height and appearance – Qu Chengchen.

Shen Dai knew that Qu Chengchen was here to visit a laboratory related to the chemical business and would not come to him, but he still hid behind his desk. Although he resented Qu Chengchen for provoking him twice and making things difficult for him, he also knew that he wanted nothing to do with this S-class alpha.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the director of the office knocked on the door of his laboratory, walked in with the same group of people, and said diligently: “Shen Gong, Mr. Qu said that he also wanted to come here to visit, if you are not busy with whatever you have in hand, drop the work first?”

Cheng Zimei is not here. So, Shen Dai, as the only person in charge here, can’t hide at all. His eyes quickly swept across to see Qu Chengchen’s half-smiling face and politely greeted: “Hello Mr. Qu, and everyone. If you don’t mind, I will explain to you what we’ve been working on here.”

Shen Dai took them around in the laboratory. After explaining, he sent a few interns to explain the rest to those who still had questions.

“Shen Gong, we met again.” Qu Chengchen walked in front of Shen Dai with a very decent smile, “I feel very sorry for you about what happened last time. I heard that you went to the hospital later.”

“It’s nothing. I worked too much overtime during that time, and I was just a little tired.” Shen Dai mustered the courage to look directly at Qu Chengchen, at least in front of so many people and in his own laboratory, he had the confidence, ” Mr. Qu didn’t affect me.”

Qu Chengchen replied with a meaningful “Oh…” He then said; “That’s good. Otherwise, if I question the content of your speech again and then let you be affected by pheromones, I feel like I was bullying you.”

“I also don’t like this word ‘bullying’. It makes us look like elementary school students.” Shen Dai said with a smile, “but when you fight between brothers, you always piss me off. What word should be used to define this kind of behaviour?””

Surprise flashed in Qu Chengchen’s eyes. His whole life growing up as an S-class Alpha, at least after the complete differentiation, he had never met any omega who would dare to provoke him. As the king of the jungle, an S-class Alpha will only receive obedience from omegas most of the time. He is especially surprised since the one in front of him who had provoked him had been quiet and docile before. Even if he didn’t quite look like any other omegas, he was still no different from an ordinary omega. So when he saw obvious anger and ridicule in Shen Dai’s eyes, he felt a suspicion in his heart that this omega’s “’quiet and docile image” was not displayed for him, but it was only to be displayed in front of Qu Moyu.
