MVCFO CH75

By the time Tang Zhe arrived, it was already the next day.

The entire hotel had already been cleared out. He and the others couldn’t even enter the main gate—no one was stopping them, but Lu Cong’s pheromones hadn’t dissipated yet, and approaching would make their legs weak.

Anyone who tried to reach Lu Cong’s floor at that moment would likely pass out halfway up.

But the situation was already good; at least, there had been no casualties from last night until now.

It was said that last night, the entire building was permeated with an oppressive and highly aggressive pheromone. Most of the hotel staff were Betas, unable to discern the strong sensual scent within, only feeling an instinctive fear, their bodies almost uncontrollably wanting to flee. They didn’t dare risk anything, so citing an emergency, they promptly escorted all guests out.

Lu Cong’s susceptible period wasn’t just his own business; the Alliance had always been very concerned, fearing his pheromones would lose control. So, once Lu Cong’s pheromones exceeded the threshold, the military immediately sent people over.

Before Tang Zhe and Lu Cong’s subordinates arrived, people were already on high alert there. But for some reason, they hadn’t entered yet.

Tang Zhe’s purpose in coming was simple: during susceptible, Lu Cong’s scent gland had to bear a hundred times the usual pressure, and his already high-concentration pheromones surged exponentially. Without forced treatment, his susceptible period would be very painful. Once the physical and mental stress exceeded the threshold, it could not only damage the scent gland but also lead to severe consequences of uncontrollable pheromone eruption. Even if it meant shedding a layer of skin today, they had to find a way to rush in and help Lu Cong calm down.

Their goals aligned, so when the two groups met outside the hotel building, no one said much.

Everyone knew this mission was arduous and required some cooperation—

For them, approaching Lu Cong during his susceptible period was no different from directly facing enemy gunfire on the battlefield without any protective gear.

They estimated that after Lu Cong passed the most unstable few hours of his susceptible period, he would likely fall into a coma, and during that time, his pheromones should reach a minimum point.

Although it would still be very dangerous for ordinary people, this was the only possible opportunity to approach the out-of-control Lu Cong.

So, the military personnel, and several medical personnel including Tang Zhe, were all waiting for this opportunity.

However, they waited outside for a day and a night and still didn’t get the chance.

Lu Cong’s pheromones showed no signs of decreasing or subsiding, but there was no destructive outbreak either.

The Alpha’s pheromones were very calm, continuously spreading and enveloping the building with a strange and stable intensity. They revealed no aggression, but also allowed no one to enter.

It was as if the owner of the pheromones was calmly telling those who tried to approach—

“Get lost.”

The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Xiangqi felt something incredibly dazzling and instinctively closed them again.

He slowly reopened them and realized it was the sunlight from outside the floor-to-ceiling window. It shimmered and shook, as if the whole world was swaying.

Lin Xiangqi’s mind hadn’t fully cleared yet, and in his hazy state, he thought this hotel looked quite high-class. The suite had various intelligent systems, very user-friendly, providing services based on the guests’ movements.

But this bedroom’s curtains were very unintelligent.

Logically, with two people still sleeping, it should have closed by itself. Why did it suddenly open?

In broad daylight, the sun made his body feel hot and uncomfortable.

Lin Xiangqi moved, and then he realized something was wrong.

First, he wasn’t on the bed in the bedroom.

This was the living room sofa.

Second,

It wasn’t the sunlight that was shaking…

It was! He! Him! Self!

“Lu Cong…”

He had just opened his mouth when he found his throat was very constricted, feeling like he had lost his voice from overuse, but he still insisted on speaking, “I… ugh!”

Lin Xiangqi’s voice was violently broken, every word scattered and incoherent.

“Baby, you’ve differentiated,” Lu Cong whispered close to his ear, with a gentle kiss that completely contradicted his rough actions, “When I marked you.”

Lin Xiangqi opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. Just as he was about to make a sound, he was heavily blocked by the sudden, penetrating sensation. Aside from looking at the other person with helpless, watery eyes, he seemed unable to do anything else. So he pitifully allowed the Alpha to do as he pleased.

Lin Xiangqi’s differentiation was expected.

Tang Zhe had recently mentioned that because Lu Cong’s pheromones had a strong therapeutic effect on Lin Xiangqi’s scent gland, the Omega’s scent gland was developing faster than expected.

The last time Lin Xiangqi accidentally released pheromones, it was the gland sending signals of its gradual maturation.

Tang Zhe suggested they could… Lu Cong later remained noncommittal and didn’t mention it to Lin Xiangqi.

Everything that happened last night was too sudden, but Lin Xiangqi felt no regret.

He wanted Lu Cong to see that his love was no less than his own. He wanted to personally pull out the thorn.

Perhaps Lu Cong put too much mental pressure on himself. He thought about a permanent mark, afraid that Lin Xiangqi would regret it or even hate him when he woke up.

But for Lin Xiangqi, this was just a way for them to be intimate.

Because their love was so deep that they wanted to merge into each other’s bones and blood, they entwined so inextricably.

He wanted Lu Cong to know that he wasn’t afraid of a permanent mark, nor was he afraid of doing anything with Lu Cong.

He had decided on Lu Cong, and naturally, he accepted everything about Lu Cong.

Everything went more smoothly than expected.

Including Lin Xiangqi’s differentiation.

The Alpha’s pheromones almost completely soothed all his discomfort. Lin Xiangqi didn’t suffer throughout the process. Even when Lu Cong brutally knotted into his expansion chamber, and it took a long time, he simply passed out in extreme pleasure, experiencing no pain from beginning to end.

That the differentiation could go so smoothly made Lin Xiangqi sigh with relief. There was no need for the medication, injections, and IVs he imagined, no need to lie in the hospital for ten days or half a month; it was just one night.

When he woke up again, his scent gland and other Omega characteristics had been perfectly matured by the Alpha’s pheromones through the permanent marking.

From then on, Lin Xiangqi no longer had to worry about the illness that could have caused his sudden death.

But he seemed to have something else to worry about.

He didn’t know how much more time had passed; the sky had brightened and darkened again. They moved from the living room sofa to other places.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a magnificent panoramic view of the city’s nightscape.

If not for this awkward position, Lin Xiangqi would have been willing to admire it properly.

“Lu… Cong…”

Lin Xiangqi called out his name with great difficulty.

“Hmm?” Lu Cong thoughtfully leaned his ear closer, feigning deference, but his intensity didn’t lessen at all. He even deliberately sped up when Lin Xiangqi tried to speak, making every word he uttered stumble and sound utterly pathetic.

Lin Xiangqi: “What… what’s today’s date…?”

Lu Cong seemed displeased with this question. He cupped Lin Xiangqi’s chin and kissed him, grinding his teeth for a long time, making Lin Xiangqi’s whole body tremble, before finally answering Lin Xiangqi’s question.

Lin Xiangqi’s muddled brain slowly did the math.

He was shocked.

“…Two days?”

Strictly speaking, counting from the first night, and now it was dark again, it should be two days and three nights.

Lu Cong carried him to the dining room, poured a glass of warm water, drank it, and then, under Lin Xiangqi’s dazed gaze, fed him two mouthfuls by mouth.

“Still early,” Lu Cong wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. “If you’re tired, you can sleep for a while.”

Lin Xiangqi slowly lifted his eyelids to look at him: “What about you?”

Lu Cong: “I’ll do as I please.”

Lin Xiangqi: “…Who gave you permission to do as you please!”

If Lu Cong did as he pleased, how could he possibly sleep?

The whole world would probably start shaking then!

Lin Xiangqi tentatively asked: “Your pheromones have stabilized, so is your susceptible period over? Then, can we, like, rest now… I have an exam in a couple of days…”

“No,” Lu Cong said deeply. “Not enough yet.”

“Calm down,” Lin Xiangqi was almost in tears, his throat parched, and he said angrily, “It’s already enough!”

“Look.” Lu Cong’s palm unexpectedly moved to Lin Xiangqi’s stomach, rubbing it lightly and slowly.

Lin Xiangqi was bewildered: “I… what am I looking at?”

Lu Cong, with an insatiable kiss and a hint of urgency, said, “Your belly is so soft, so thin.”

“…” Lin Xiangqi almost laughed in exasperation.

Soft, because he lacked exercise and had no abdominal muscles.

Thin, because he was now! Very! Hungry!

Lu Cong’s fingers suddenly pressed harder, firmly pushing down on a certain spot, forcing Lin Xiangqi’s entire body to tense up, making him arch his neck and let out a soft moan.

Lu Cong slowly said, “It’s only enough when this place is full.”

Time ticked by, minute by minute. The permanent mark had long been completed, but the Alpha’s pheromones showed no sign of receding.

Until the sky began to lighten again, Lin Xiangqi murmured as if in a dream:

“…I always feel… like I’ve forgotten something…”

Lu Cong held him tightly: “You can think slowly, we still have a lot of time.”

“—But I don’t have time, big brother!”

Chen Qiutian was almost in tears. “My live streaming hours for this month aren’t full yet! Can you please connect me to the internet? I have to go live today; every minute and second lost is money, brothers!”

The Alpha in the black uniform looked at him expressionlessly, saying nothing.

Without the Major General’s orders, this Beta temporarily couldn’t contact the outside world.

Chen Qiutian was confined to his bedroom, desperately running his hands through his hair. He glanced at his disconnected terminal and computer, finally giving up the struggle, and cried out to the ceiling:

“Lin Xiangqi! Lu Cong! You two heartless bastards—”
