Xu Xinghe didn’t know how long the hug lasted.

When he came back to his senses, the rain falling outside the window had stopped, and the dark clouds were torn open, allowing golden sunlight to pour out.

The embrace lasted half a century.

But Ling Changfeng still had no intention of letting go.

His hands were tightly clasped around Xu Xinghe’s waist, chin resting on his shoulders, and his scorching breath sprayed on the young man’s sensitive neck. Half of Xu Xinghe’s body froze, and a numb electric shock ran up his spine.

The two pheromones blended together, creating a wonderful and unique fragrance.

Motionless, he held onto Ling Changfeng, and Ling Changfeng held him.

As if being wrapped by a large pendant – he can’t break free, and doesn’t want to break free.

Ling Changfeng is a full half a head taller than him, and Xu Xinghe gently lifted his toes in order to make it easier for him to hug him.

But after a long time, he can’t help but feel that this posture is a bit annoying.

Team Leader Xu moved his sore arm slightly, and finally couldn’t help asking, “Are you feeling better?”

The implication was, get up if you feel better.

Marshal Ling shook his head slowly.

Not only did he not get up, but he tightened his embrace further and held him even tighter.

Hard strands of hair ran across the young man’s neck, numb and itchy.

“It’s still uncomfortable.” Ling Changfeng said in a low voice.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He felt that Ling Changfeng did it on purpose.

Through the other party’s pheromone, he could clearly feel that the turbulent and angry sea had returned to calm. There was even a tinge of serenity after the rainy skies had cleared.

He doesn’t look uncomfortable at all.

“Almost done, okay…” Xu Xinghe muttered softly.

He stretched out his hand and patted Ling Changfeng’s back lightly. “Get up, we’ve hugged long enough.”

Feeling the resistance of his little spouse, Marshal Ling reluctantly relaxed a little, but he didn’t let go completely.

Keeping his hands Xu Xinghe’s waist, he straightened up slightly, giving the other party room to move.

Seeing this, Xu Xinghe was ready to escape.

But just after taking a half step back, Ling Changfeng’s low and muffled voice entered his ears: “Do you think I’m annoying?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He actually heard a bit of loss and accusation in those words.

And still not letting go.

At this moment, Ling Changfeng was like a tiger whose hair was wet by the rainstorm. Even though he’s a majestic carnivore normally, his body is now covered in mud. Like a big cat miserably wandering outside for too long, trying to find shelter in extreme weather

And since he has already provided this shelter, he can no longer drive the other party out.

Xu Xinghe sighed silently, and withdrew the foot that was moving back.

Who can refuse such a big cat?

Anyway, he couldn’t.

Just like that, the two held each other for a long time.

In the end, it was a video call from Qin Yuan who rescued Xu Xinghe from this grueling embrace.

Colonel Lewis, who was standing outside the room, waited left and right, only to see no movement in the room. He was really worried about any accidents, so he called Qin Yuan for help.

Adjutant Qin was shocked when he heard the news-

Just kidding, putting Xu Xinghe and the susceptible Ling Changfeng together is like putting a piece of fatty meat in front of a hungry wolf. It’s a wonder Ling Changfeng didn’t swallow him whole!

With the thought of “anyway, he’s not on Capital Star now, and can’t hit me”, Qin Yuan began to call Ling Changfeng to death.

The first call was directly rejected by Marshal Ling, followed by the second call, the third call…

Beep beeps sounded in the silent room. After Xu Xinghe caught a glimpse of Qin Yuan flashing on the screen, he kindly reminded: “Major General Qin is calling, why don’t you answer?”

Upset by the prompt, Ling Changfeng straightened up irritably.

He has basically regained his senses. Seeing Qin Yuan’s unending calls, he was afraid that there was something urgent on Capital Star, so he reluctantly released Xu Xinghe and pulled him behind him, and accepted Qin Yuan’s video request.

“What’s the matter?” As soon as the video was connected, Marshal Ling’s tone was very bad.

He stared at Qin Yuan’s figure on the holographic projection with a bad expression on his face, with an attitude of “if you can’t say anything, you’ll be finished”.

Adjutant Qin, who was far away in the capital, was relieved when he saw his marshal on the other side.

However, when he finally saw Ling Changfeng’s expression, his expression suddenly became confused and puzzled.

“You, you…” Qin Yuan originally wanted to ask how he was, but seeing his expression, he blurted out the question in his heart instead: “You marked him?!”

Ling Changfeng: “…”

Eyes narrowing in displeasure, he squinted, and his expression turned dangerous and fierce.

Qin Yuan was shocked.

When he had a video with his boss last night, the other party was not in such a state.

At that time, Ling Changfeng’s eyes were red, and his eyebrows were cold-blooded and violent, which made one not even dare look directly.

But the current Ling Changfeng…

Is like a big cat throwing a tantrum.

The bloodshot in his eyes has basically faded away. Although it bared its teeth in anger, there is no ferocity or aggression behind it, so it wasn’t really that scary.

Such a change is probably something only Xu Xinghe can do.

“That… not…”

In the silence, a clear voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the air.

Seeing Ling Changfeng’s continued silent denial, Xu Xinghe decided to stand up and explain the situation in order to prevent Qin Yuan from misunderstanding.

He stuck out half of his head from behind Ling Changfeng, and under Qin Yuan’s extremely shocked eyes, touched his nose awkwardly. “Good morning… ah no, it should be afternoon in Nebula City now?”

Qin Yuan’s eyes turned into round plates.

Xu Xinghe actually appeared completely behind Ling Changfeng! His clothes are also intact!

What’s the situation??!

Old dog Ling didn’t make a move???

When Marshal Ling saw Qin Yuan staring at his little spouse, anger flared up.

Although he’s recovered his rationality, he’s still experiencing the effects of his susceptible period.

Alphas in the susceptible period are unable to tolerate if someone looks at their omegas for more than a second.

He’s his unique treasure, how could he be spied on by others?

So Marshal Ling became irritable again.

He pulled Xu Xinghe back behind him and blocked him with his body.

If Ling Changfeng had a tail, it would be wrapped around his waist several times by now.

Marshal Ling’s expression turned worse as he looked at his adjutant. “Is there anything else?”

Qin Yuan: “…”

He was still immersed in the huge shock, unable to calm down. Ignoring the threatening eyes of his boss, he asked rhetorically: “That, will you, will you… go  see a doctor later?”

Ling Changfeng frowned and said impatiently: “I’ve seen one. If you don’t have something to say, go away.”

“Uh, that’s not what I’m referring to…” Qin Yuan swallowed, not daring to continue.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare ask his boss directly, “Can you not do it?”

Before the call was connected, he was still worried. What if Ling Changfeng couldn’t hold back and forcibly marked Xu Xinghe?

But now that he knew he didn’t do this, he was relieved. However, another worry emerged.

Not eating the meat delivered directly to its mouth – is this something a normal Alpha will do??

On the other end, Ling Changfeng completely lost his patience.

At this moment, he instinctively didn’t want to see anyone of the same sex appear in front of him, even though it was only a holographic projection of Qin Yuan.

Like an evil dragon guarding its treasure, he can’t help but want to stretch out his sharp claws and spit out dragon breath to remove the invaders in his territory….

As an adjutant who served his boss for many years, Qin Yuan was clearly aware of the change in emotions. He once again realized that Ling Changfeng’s susceptible period hasn’t passed yet.

However, he didn’t mark Xu Xinghe, not even making a temporary mark.

So how did he endure such a difficult susceptible period?

The moment before the video ended, Qin Yuan suddenly thought that they were probably wrong.

Everyone thought that Ling Changfeng’s last susceptibility period was passed safely because he marked Xu Xinghe. Even Ling Changfeng himself thought so.

But that’s not right.

There was no need for such crude and straightforward primitive methods. Perhaps Xu Xinghe’s existence himself, for Ling Changfeng, is a medicine that can cure everything.

Like a fairytale.

The video ended, and the room fell silent.

Xu Xinghe could feel the slightly aggressive pheromones exuding out from Ling Changfeng as the video call continued.

This is probably the so-called same-sex repulsion. Just like there can only be one male lion in a lion group, even if the two are usually close comrades-in-arms, when one is susceptible, they are unable to control their instincts to reject those of the same kind.

Just when Xu Xinghe was worrying whether Ling Changfeng would experience another attack, the other party turned around without saying a word and hugged him again.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Is he treating him as a humanoid catnip today?!

Feeling the other person’s chin resting on his shoulder, Xu Xinghe asked with a black face: “How long will you hold me this time? Give me an estimate.”

Although his tone wasn’t good, he still obediently allowed him to hug him, and did not make any resistance.

Ling Changfeng said in a low voice, “Listen to you.”1as in I’ll listen to you to decide

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Team Leader Xu was silent for a while, and suddenly changed the topic: “Are you hungry?”

“A little.”

“Is there a kitchen here? I’ll make something.”

“Let them deliver it, don’t leave.”

“…”

Craning his neck forty-five degrees, the young man who was entangled by the big cat stared blankly at the skies outside. He originally thought that Xiaoqi was already the most clingy cat; he never expected Ling Changfeng to be even worse than Xiaoqi when he was susceptible.

What will they do in the future?

Will this happen every time in the future when he’s in the susceptible period?

For a moment, Xu Xinghe suddenly came up with the idea of ​​”it’s better to be bitten by him, and get it done with.”

Immediately, he was startled by his own thoughts. He hurriedly shook his head, as if it was possible to erase this terrible idea.

At his movement, Ling Changfeng’s arms tightened further.

Xu Xinghe: “…” He feels suffocated.

At this moment, Marshal Ling’s communication system rang again.

Ling Changfeng raised his hand to look, and then cut off the call request directly.

After about ten seconds, Qin Yuan sent a message directly—

[Answer the phone! I have good news for you!]

The fact that XYN is thinking about what they’ll do in the future when LCF is susceptible.
