CH 29

Xu Xinghe had never experienced a more embarrassing moment than this since he could remember.

The embarrassment of the problem is that it is not Ling Changfeng holding him, but him holding his arm.

If it was the former, Team Leader Xu can openly withdraw his hand, and then righteously and loudly ask Ling Changfeng what he did when he was drunk last night.

But the current situation is the latter.

So what has he done??

Xu Xinghe couldn’t remember at all.

Fortunately, Ling Changfeng withdrew his hand calmly, and then sat up as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Good, that’s it! It was just a dream, nothing happened!

Xu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when he saw Ling Changfeng’s movement, he turned back with a calm expression.

That resolute and handsome face was getting closer and closer to him…

Then he leaned over and gently dropped a kiss on his forehead.

“Good morning.” Ling Changfeng said.

Xu Xinghe was petrified.

This time, he was sure that Ling Changfeng moved his hand first, no, he moved his mouth.

So he’s able to righteously and loudly question—

As if!

Xu Xinghe’s face turned red as an apple.

His brain also shut down, the kind that was emitting green smoke.

After a while, he raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Ling Changfeng and asked, “You, you…what are you doing?”

Ling Changfeng stood up to tidy his clothes, and looked at him sideways: “Don’t you remember?”

Xu Xinghe had a ghostly expression on his face. “Remember what??”

“You said last night that you wanted a good morning kiss.”

“…”

Xu Xinghe’s worldview collapsed.

“Impossible!” He decided to struggle again.

However, the faltering and unspeakable expressions of his friends suddenly appeared in his mind…

Everything seemed to be explained.

It was difficult for him to accept it, and he began to make up for it: “I don’t recall what happened when I’m drunk.”

Ling Changfeng: “Oh.”

“I don’t remember what happened after drinking.”

“En.”

“Even if I really said it—” Xu Xinghe’s arrogance weakened for a moment, and then immediately ignited back, “Why do you believe the nonsense I say when I’m drunk??”

Ling Changfeng brushed his clothes, and his tone was light as he said a little casually: “Don’t all say ‘alcohol makes one tell the truth’?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He tried his best to calm down. “People, once drunk, may do some irrational things and say some things that go against their heart.”

“Oh.” Ling Changfeng nodded, “So you saying that my pheromone smells good, but others don’t smell my good, is this also against your heart?”

Xu Xinghe: “…” It’s too late.

This isn’t really a disrespect.

In the past, he couldn’t smell Ling Changfeng’s pheromone. It may be because Ling Changfeng’s self-control was too strong and controls his pheromones too tightly, or it might’ve been because he is naturally less sensitive to alpha pheromones.

But since he was temporarily marked, he could smell Ling Changfeng from time to time.

Ling Changfeng’s pheromone can’t be described as just a scent. It just smells so good, extremely good, and is very, very appealing to him.

—But how can he say these words directly to the other party?!

Xu Xinghe tried his best to straighten his back and said solemnly: “I get irrational after drinking. You cannot equate the rational me with the irrational me. We should let go of the past and embrace the new future.”

There was a flash of laughter in those dual-colored pupils. “Well, you’re right, let’s have breakfast.”

They should let go of the past and go to meet the new future together.

After Xu Xinghe got out of bed, he was still immersed in his painful experience of drinking and “sex”, and drifted to the dining room like a wandering ghost…

Until he looked up and saw Ling Changfeng sitting at the other end of the long table, he finally regained his wits.

Why did you follow me to breakfast?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

Team Leader Xu numbly began to put something in his mouth.

Then he comforted himself and thought that even if he said humiliating words after being drunk, it should be fine. Everyone is in this state when they are drunk.

It’s just a matter of talking… I shouldn’t have made a move myself, right??

After remembering the terrifying scene of waking up this morning… He fell into deep thought again.

Damn! He may have made a move too.

Xu Xinghe finished the breakfast like a storm, then quickly fled back to the bedroom and opened the F4 group chat.

Xu Xinghe: “@Everyone”

Vincent: “? What’s the matter?”

Cheryl: “Are you sober? How are you feeling? Lin Qi doesn’t seem to be awake yet”

Xu Xinghe: “What am I like when drunk?”

Vincent : “…”

Cheryl: “…”

Looking at the two rows of ellipses on the screen, Xu Xinghe instantly became irritable: “Come on! What is it?!”

“You don’t want to know, don’t ask.”

Xu Xinghe: “…F*ck!”

He said with grief and anger, “Are you guys human?? I got drunk and went crazy after drinking, but you still sent me back to the Marshal’s mansion??”

Isn’t this a sheep entering a tiger’s den!

Vincent: “Seeing you drunk like that, where else can you go if not to your husband? Isn’t the Marshal’s house your home?”

Xu Xinghe: “…Go away”

Vincent: “And you said last night, you want to go home to find Marshal Ling…”

Xu Xinghe: “?”

Cheryl: “Really, I can testify”

Xu Xinghe: “Don’t say anymore”

What the hell is his drunken self?

Xu Xinghe: “You can’t see the essence through the phenomenon??”

Cheryl: “What is the phenomenon, and what is the essence?”

Xu Xinghe: “The phenomenon is that I started talking nonsense after drinking, and the essence is that I was drunk and say things against my heart!”

Xu Xinghe: “Let’s break up, you don’t know the real me at all.”

Vincent: “When you’re awake, it seems easier to say things against your heart = =”

Cheryl: “That’s right. Didn’t you still prepare gifts for Marshal Ling two days ago? What’s the matter now, did Marshal Ling go too far last night?”

Xu Xinghe: “…” It’s over.

Cheryl: “Actually, your behavior after getting drunk is a little different this time.”

Xu Xinghe: “What is the difference?”

Cheryl: “When you were drunk before, you would hug an acquaintance.”

Vincent: “Yes, We’ve all been subjected to this vicious hand.”

Cheryl: “But you were very honest yesterday, and you said you wanted to go back. We were even lamenting that your personality changed after marriage.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

F*ck! Why can’t he have stayed like that! What’s with coming back?

Lin Qi: “I’m awake!”

Lin Qi: “Brother Xu, what happened? Why did you suddenly start caring about your drunkenness?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He closed the chat software in distress, and lay down on the bed with his limbs spread out.

He secretly decided never to drink again!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Xinghe’s heart tensed. He didn’t say anything directly, but glanced at the display screen… It’s indeed Ling Changfeng!

The person at the door waited for a while, but when there was no response, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Xu Xinghe turned over and sat up, gritted his teeth and said, “Come in.”

Ling Changfeng walked in with a bright face.

Yes, although in the eyes of others, Marshal Ling still has an unsmiling iceberg face, which is no different from usual, but Xu Xinghe can feel that this guy is in a good mood!

Xu Xinghe’s voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: “What’s the matter?”

“I forgot to tell you just now—” Ling Changfeng walked over to him, and his eyes swept over. “You should drink less alcohol in the future, especially don’t get drunk outside.”

After a pause, he added: “It’s too dangerous.”

You don’t need to say that, I know it! Xu Xinghe thought to himself, he didn’t know what the hell he looked like when he was drunk, but now he knows, how can such a shameful thing happen again?!

But when these words came out of Ling Changfeng’s mouth, Team Leader Xu’s rebellious mentality suddenly came up.

He said angrily, “Don’t worry about it.”

Ling Changfeng narrowed his eyes, took another step forward, and came to his side.

Xu Xinghe’s inner alarm bell rang loudly, and he moved to the side of the bed: “What are you doing?”

Ling Changfeng said lightly: “Next time if you get drunk outside again—”

Xu Xinghe stalked his neck and said, “How?”

“I don’t know what you will do to me.”

“…” Xu Xinghe was stunned, “What?”

“Maybe not only hug me, ask me to take a bath, not let me leave, and insist on sleeping together…” Ling Changfeng said these words lightly, and Xu Xinghe listened.

A faint smile flashed in the pair of mismatched eyes: “In case you do something more outrageous…”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Brother, I beg you, please stop talking.

Ling Changfeng scrutinized the expression on his face, and asked unhurriedly, “Do you still want to get drunk?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Don’t worry, I’ll kill the next person who asks me to drink!

“I see.” Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth. “Don’t you have anything to do? Can you leave?”

Really.

Marshal Ling reluctantly said goodbye: “I’ll go to the military headquarters and come back before dinner.”

Who cares when you come back! It doesn’t matter if you spend the night there!

Xu Xinghe: “Goodbye.”

——

Double Star Building, the Alliance Military Office.

“Morning, sir.” Qin Yuan who hurriedly passed Ling Changfeng with documents, suddenly stopped and doubled back.

He felt that his superior was a little different today.

“Did something good happen?”

He didn’t need to use pheromones to tell. After knowing Ling Changfeng for many years, he could clearly see that the other party was full of the spring breeze at this moment.

Not only the spring breeze, but his entire temperament seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Kind of like the days when he just finished temporary marking.

The difference is that now he does not have the restlessness of a susceptible period, but is like a vegetarian who’s just tried meat after not eating meat for many years.

The adjutant had a bold idea in his heart, so he asked: “How is Xinghe recently?”

Ling Changfeng gave him a sideways look. “Do you have a good relationship with him?”

Major General Qin: “Ah?”

“Why call him Xinghe?”

“???”

The old man in love is starting to become unreasonable!

Qin Yuan shook his head inwardly, and then changed his face kindly: “I mean, your legal spouse, Xu Xinghe, who matches your pheromone as high as 99%, has been temporarily marked by you recently. Is he ok?”

Ling Changfeng raised his chin slightly: “He’s fine, you don’t need to worry about it.”

It makes me laugh as a reader, but I feel for QY. Such a hard job with a boss like that.
