LABMY CH75

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The sound of military boots echoed through the long corridor.

A tall man walked forward, his cold, rigid military uniform accentuating his broad shoulders and long legs, making his proportions even more striking.

In one hand, he held a paper document, seemingly reading as he walked. Yet, despite the brevity of the text, he hadn’t flipped the page for a long time.

A pale, slender neck. A scabbed wound. The ever-decreasing distance.

Even his low, steady breathing seemed to be perceptible through the subtle, almost imperceptible shifts in the delicate skin at the nape of the neck.

And then, lips pressed gently against that scar.

That scar, covering what was once a gland.

Even though the gland was gone, kissing this spot still carried the faint, lingering scent of Lu Qianyun—an elusive, snow-mountain cool fragrance.

Only Jian Yuanbai himself knew—when his subordinate knocked on the office door, he had fled the scene.

He had run away after kissing a gland-scarred Alpha.

If this had happened with an Omega, it would have been perfectly understandable.

But he was an Alpha.

Now sitting in his superior’s office, listening to his latest mission briefing, Jian Yuanbai steadily calmed himself as he held the new assignment files in his hand.

Lu Qianyun isn’t an Omega.

What the hell was I panicking for?

Ridiculous. He must have lost his mind.

That said, Lu Qianyun’s knowledge of s3x and interpersonal relationships was seriously lacking. He actually didn’t know that a gland couldn’t be casually touched.

And to even ask to be kissed there—without any awareness of the implications.

This wasn’t just ignorance; this was a fundamental lack of education.

Jian Yuanbai sighed. This was far beyond what he, as a guardian, could handle.

Parents were responsible for setting examples in the absence of teachers.

But when teachers were available? This should be left to professionals.

Without hesitation, Jian Yuanbai pulled up his terminal and searched for s3x education instructors.

The most renowned name immediately popped up:

Professor Fang

• A-rank Omega
• Renowned expert in gender and s3xuality studies
• Highly credentialed psychologist
• Empire’s foremost authority on s3xual education

In the attached photo, the middle-aged Omega had a kind and gentle smile, exuding an air of wisdom and patience.

Jian Yuanbai, still walking down the hallway, immediately dialed the number.

A warm voice answered on the other end. “Hello?”

“Professor Fang?” Jian Yuanbai asked.

“Yes, speaking.”

Jian Yuanbai got straight to the point.

“I’ve been deeply concerned about my kid’s s3x education lately,” he said. “You know how it is—so many bad influences out there these days. He has zero sense of self-protection and absolutely no proper understanding of s3x.”

Professor Fang paused in the middle of writing, setting down his pen. He could tell this was a young father who genuinely cared about his child’s well-being.

“You’re absolutely right,” he replied. “S3x education is an essential part of a child’s development. A proper foundation ensures they form healthy interpersonal relationships and future intimate connections.”

Hearing this, Jian Yuanbai immediately felt reassured.

“Professor Fang, I can tell you’re highly qualified,” he said sincerely. “I’d feel completely at ease entrusting my kid’s education to you.”

“I’d like to hire you to personally teach my kid a full course on s3x education. Do you have availability?”

Professor Fang smiled. “Of course. Could you tell me how old your child is?”

“I tailor my lessons based on age, so I can provide the most suitable guidance.”

Jian Yuanbai responded smoothly, “Eighteen. Alpha.”

His tone was so calm, so matter-of-fact, that Professor Fang assumed he must have misheard.

“…Sorry, could you repeat that?”

Jian Yuanbai slowed down and enunciated clearly:

“Eighteen-year-old Alpha. Professor Fang, do you have time?”

Click.

The call ended.

Jian Yuanbai stared at his screen in confusion.

What the hell? Was that a yes or a no?

Still puzzled, he pushed open the office door.

Lu Qianyun was still sitting on the couch. His complexion had improved noticeably since Jian Yuanbai left.

“Feeling better?” Jian Yuanbai asked as he closed the door behind him.

Lu Qianyun’s gaze flickered with something unreadable—resignation? Amusement?—but he didn’t say anything about it.

“Yeah,” he replied simply.

Jian Yuanbai placed the mission documents on his desk. As his eyes skimmed over the patrol section, an idea formed in his mind.

“You still haven’t decided what you want to do, right?”

“I just got assigned to oversee public security patrols on a C-rank planet. Want to come with me?”

He added casually, “Think of it as a trip to clear your mind.”

Lu Qianyun wasn’t surprised at all.

He knew what would happen next.

During this patrol, he and Jian Yuanbai would experience an unexpected accident, crash-landing on an uncharted alien planet.

This was a crucial turning point in the story.

Without hesitation, he agreed. “Okay.”

Jian Yuanbai was about to say something else when his terminal suddenly lit up.

Incoming video call—Imperial Police Department.

The holographic display flickered to life, revealing an officer in a crisp blue uniform.

The moment their eyes met, both Jian Yuanbai and the officer froze.

For a brief second, both sides stared at each other in mutual confusion.

Jian Yuanbai arched an eyebrow.

“…What do you want?”

The officer’s expression was serious as he spoke through the holographic projection:

“Mr. Jian Yuanbai, someone has reported that you attempted to sexually harass an Omega under the guise of seeking a sex education instructor. Can you explain this?”

Jian Yuanbai’s mind went blank for a moment.

The sex education matter… He hadn’t even told Lu Qianyun about it yet.

The moment the officer mentioned “Omega” and “harassment,” Jian Yuanbai instinctively switched the call to private mode.

After listening to the full accusation, Jian Yuanbai stood there, completely stunned.

What the actual hell?

In two quick strides, Jian Yuanbai stormed out of the office and slammed the door shut behind him.

Staring at the projection of the officer, he roared in disbelief:

“Me? Sexual harassment of an Omega?!”

“Do you know how pure my body is?! Do you know who I’ve been saving myself for?!”

Jian Yuanbai’s voice echoed through the hallway:

“I’ve been saving myself for my future wife! I haven’t even held an Omega’s hand! And you’re accusing me of harassment?!”

“I’ve been preserving my beautiful, pure self for the world’s most perfect wife, and you’re here slandering me!”

The officer was stunned. “…Sir, please calm down.”

“Let me confirm: Did you, or did you not, inquire about hiring a sex education instructor for an 18-year-old Alpha?”

“…I did.”

“And are you aware that the instructor you contacted is an Omega? According to Imperial Law, once you reach adulthood, hiring an Omega sex education teacher is considered sexual harassment.”

Jian Yuanbai: “…”

His eyes widened as he muttered, “What the…”

Only after repeatedly explaining that the “eighteen-year-old Alpha” was not himself, but his nephew, and presenting his military officer credentials did the officer finally believe him.

Before ending the call, the officer looked at him with a complicated expression:

“Mr. Jian, I’d like to suggest… that while your nephew might not need sex education, you might need a refresher on the Omega Protection Act.”

Jian Yuanbai: “…”

He pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered a reluctant, “…Got it.”

Full of grievances and utterly bewildered, Jian Yuanbai returned to the office.

As soon as he stepped in, he was met with Lu Qianyun’s deeply complicated expression.

“I knew it,” Lu Qianyun said, looking resigned. “You really got mistaken for a pervert, didn’t you?”

Jian Yuanbai: “…”

Lu Qianyun hadn’t heard what the officer said, but when sex education lessons and Imperial police officers appeared together, he could guess nine out of ten.

When he found that pile of crumpled paper earlier, Lu Qianyun had already felt incredibly conflicted.

But he never expected that Jian Yuanbai would actually go as far as hiring a teacher.

What the hell was this guy thinking?!

Lu Qianyun sighed, almost helpless.

If this were anyone else, Lu Qianyun would’ve thought it was absurd.

But since it was Jian Yuanbai…

…It felt oddly normal.

Like, of course Jian Yuanbai would do something this ridiculous.

On the other hand, Jian Yuanbai was completely dumbfounded.

His sharp, cold features were filled with disbelief and injustice as he met Lu Qianyun’s gaze.

Why does he look at me like I’m mentally ill?!

“I… I did this all for you…”

Jian Yuanbai muttered weakly.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.

He was more wronged than Dou E from ancient Earth legends.

Lu Qianyun sighed and tried to console him:

“With how advanced virtual learning is, you could’ve just searched for sex education materials online. Why bother hiring a teacher?”

Jian Yuanbai didn’t respond.

Seeing him sulk, Lu Qianyun softened his tone and said:

“Uncle… If you really want to learn, why not just buy a book?”

“…Also, why did you suddenly become so interested in this?”

After all, this was only Lu Qianyun’s second day with Jian Yuanbai.

He had already thrown the crumpled papers into the trash, so Lu Qianyun naturally didn’t realize that all this was because of him.

Jian Yuanbai covered his face with one hand and sighed heavily:

“Don’t call me Uncle.”

“I… I can’t do this ‘guardian’ role anymore.”

Being a guardian was already hard.

Being a guardian for an eighteen-year-old, half-grown Alpha, who was both rebellious and clueless about sex?

Even harder.

Seeing Jian Yuanbai so defeated, Lu Qianyun hesitated for a moment before squatting down in front of him.

Placing a hand on Jian Yuanbai’s knee, he cautiously suggested,

“…How about I teach you instead?”

“This way… no other Omega will mistake you for a creep and report you to the police again.”

The truth was, Lu Qianyun didn’t want Jian Yuanbai discussing anything related to “sex” with other Omegas.

He understood that the classroom setting was professional and sacred, but…

He simply couldn’t stand the thought of Jian Yuanbai talking about such things with other people.

It wasn’t logical.

It was purely… possessiveness.

Hearing this, Jian Yuanbai suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute.

If Lu Qianyun was the one teaching him…

Then, for the sake of “teaching,” Lu Qianyun would have to study all the materials thoroughly himself first.

Wouldn’t this indirectly fulfill his original goal of educating Lu Qianyun on sex?

A perfect, roundabout strategy!

Jian Yuanbai slowly lowered his hand and met Lu Qianyun’s eyes.

“Alright,” he said seriously.

“But you have to teach me properly.”

Then, he added, dead serious:

“Also, I’m not a pervert.”

In an effort to explain his bizarre behavior, Jian Yuanbai’s brain short-circuited.

And then, without thinking, he blurted out:

“I’m just… passionate about learning.”

Lu Qianyun lowered his head to hide the uncontrollable smile spreading across his face.

His shoulders trembled slightly as he tried to suppress his laughter.

“…Mm. Loving to learn is a good thing.”

Help, he really wants to laugh
