Xu Juexi lay in Gu Zhifeng’s arms, and it took him a while to catch his breath.
He had previously felt soft and light, as if he had been tossed up into the clouds, bobbing and tumbling in the softest of clouds. His cheeks were flushed with a lingering, alluring pink hue, a hint of desire.
His eyes were still brimming with tears that hadn’t dried, but Gu Zhifeng leaned in and kissed them away.
Gu Zhifeng: “Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful. I’ve never seen you like this before, have I?”
Xu Juexi: “I hate it, don’t touch me.”
He sniffed twice and weakly reached out to ask Gu Zhifeng not to press down on him, as it was heavy and uncomfortable: “You’re hurting me, move aside.”
”Tsk, what’s wrong with rubbing against you a couple of times? You’re heartless!” Gu Zhifeng narrowed his eyes. “You’re clearly enjoying it. Sister-in-law, you’re dying of pleasure, aren’t you? Addicted, aren’t you? Help me out?”
Xu Juexi: “When the shower switch in the bathroom is turned all the way to the right, it’s cold water. I want to sleep, don’t bother me.”
He turned over, exhausted from just that short time. He rolled up some blankets and tidied them up, then closed his eyes in a daze. No matter how much Gu Zhifeng called or tried to rouse him, he wouldn’t move.
”Damn! You have no conscience.”
Gu Zhifeng cursed under his breath, but he could only awkwardly get out of bed and go to the bathroom in Xu Juexi’s room to take a cold shower.
Cold water was quickly poured down from the shower, but it couldn’t extinguish the restless heat emanating from the alpha.
He thought to himself that Gu Xiaolin had never even seen Xu Juexi looking this beautiful, yet he had already tasted his beauty. A feeling of satisfaction and pride welled up inside him. He covered his face with the hand that still carried Xu Juexi’s scent, inhaling the sweet aroma with fascination, and quickly finished.
After taking a shower, he lay back down next to Xu Juexi, feeling satisfied, and fell asleep holding him.
Xu Juexi was clearly not used to having someone sleep next to him.
Gu Zhifeng was kicked awake by Xu Juexi several times throughout the night. When Xu Juexi was asleep, he was not as easy to bully as when he was awake. He did not hold back his strength in his legs. Gu Zhifeng was kicked awake from his dream and felt so painful that he pondered the meaning of life. Then, without learning his lesson, he hugged the omega and fell into a deep sleep again.
After waking up the next day, Xu Juexi stopped talking to Gu Zhifeng.
”Please pay attention to me, sister-in-law.”
Gu Zhifeng continued to harass Xu Juexi while he was having breakfast, relentlessly pestering him: “Weren’t you feeling great last night, sister-in-law? That mole on your inner thigh is really pretty.”
Xu Juexi seemed not to hear.
He drank milk from his glass with a straw while tapping on his phone, reviewing the message from Feng Ying asking if he was awake.
[Xiao Xi: Mm, time to get up]
Gu Zhifeng reached out and snatched the phone from Xu Juexi’s hand: “Sister-in-law, you can’t digest food if you play on your phone while eating.”
Xu Juexi glared at him fiercely: “Give it back to me.”
Gu Zhifeng: “No. Unless you kiss me.”
Xu Juexi: “Then you can keep it and play with it.”
He lowered his head and ate his breakfast.
Gu Zhifeng was just thinking about what excuse to use to continue harassing Xu Juexi when the restaurant door was pushed open at that moment. Gu Zhifeng looked up and saw that annoying guy Gu Fengying slowly walking in with a cup of hot coffee.
Gu Fengying minored in fashion design while studying abroad. He has a well-known design studio and exudes an air of so-called elegant artistry that Gu Zhifeng finds repulsive.
In Gu Zhifeng’s eyes, this person was nothing more than a pretentious peacock, and he didn’t know why he had a better reputation among the elders than he did—and now Xu Juexi seemed to like him more.
As expected, nothing good ever came of Gu Fengying’s appearance.
He barged in between Xu Juexi and Gu Zhifeng as if he had no eyes. He placed his coffee cup between them, making a soft clinking sound against the marble tabletop. Then, he looked up at Xu Juexi and said, “Xiaoxi, could you move over a bit? Let me sit here.”
Xu Juexi couldn’t be happier if someone was willing to separate Gu Zhifeng from him.
He stood up, dragged the chair to the side a little, and made room for Gu Fengying to stand in the middle.
Watching the two of them effortlessly exclude him, Gu Zhifeng couldn’t help but say, “Gu Fengying, are you sick? Why are you squeezing over here when there are such big seats over there? If you don’t want your eyes, I’ll help you fill out the organ donation form right now.”
Gu Fengying: “Do you think Xiaoxi wants to sit with you?”
”Damn it, what’s it to you?” Gu Zhifeng thought this guy was crazy.
Gu Fengying turned to Xu Juexi and said, “Ignore him.”
“Mmm.” Xu Juexi nodded in strong agreement.
”Why are you pretending to be a good person?”
Gu Zhifeng, at his wit’s end, looked like he wanted to flip the table. He stood up and grabbed Gu Fengying by the collar: “Gu Fengying, only he wouldn’t see through your little schemes. What right do you have to talk to me like that? Don’t you also want to sleep with him? Do you know that he even spread his legs for me last night…”
His bluntness made Xu Juexi nervous.
He was afraid that Gu Fengying would notice something, so he carefully observed the expression on Gu Fengying’s face.
”Gu Zhifeng”.
Gu Fengying showed no particular emotional fluctuation. He pulled Gu Zhifeng’s hand away from his collar and frowned slightly: “How long has it been since you had your brain checked? Do you need me to call Dr. Liang for you?”
”you……”
“If you’re mentally ill, go back and take your medicine on time,” Gu Fengying said. “Don’t go around spreading nonsense and harming others.”
He turned to look at Xu Juexi, his tone instantly softening: “How about I take you out for cake later? I heard that the new restaurant in the city center is pretty good.”
Xu Juexi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn’t take Gu Zhifeng’s words to heart.
He said, “Oh, I know, is it that popular one lately? I think I saw it online. But doesn’t that restaurant require reservations?”
Gu Fengying: “No need, that’s a shop owned by my friend.”
He turned his head and looked at Gu Zhifeng with a half-smile: “This mental patient, do you want to go?”
Gu Zhifeng, not wanting to suffer a loss, said, “Go.”
Gu Fengying said, “Okay, let’s go together.”
Xu Juexi was surprised that Gu Fengying would invite Gu Zhifeng. He looked up at Gu Fengying with a somewhat reluctant expression.
Gu Fengying patted Xu Juexi’s head reassuringly: “Eat quickly.”
He leaned close to Xu Juexi’s ear and whispered, “Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough.”
After the three finished their meal, they went out and arrived at the villa’s garage. Gu Fengying simply tossed the car keys to Gu Zhifeng: “You drive.”
Gu Zhifeng wanted to sit in the back seat with Xu Juexi so he could easily get his hands on him, but now he was suddenly assigned the task of driving, which he was quite unwilling to do: “Why should I?”
Gu Fengying: “You can also choose not to go.”
Watching Xu Juexi and Gu Fengying get into the back seat one after the other, he almost gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to open the driver’s side door.
He slammed the car door shut as if he wanted to smash Gu Fengying’s car to pieces. After meeting Gu Fengying’s smiling eyes in the rearview mirror, he snorted coldly and stepped on the gas.
”Your hair is messy.”
Gu Fengying raised his hand to tidy Xu Juexi’s hair: “Didn’t you look in the mirror properly after getting up? It’s sticking up.”
Omega’s soft brown hair is messy, with one hair sticking up like a cat’s ear.
Xu Juexi felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what Gu Zhifeng had done while he was washing up. He coughed twice to change the subject and started to forcefully discuss the new products of the cake shop with Gu Fengying.
Gu Fengying is an extremely skilled conversationalist and doesn’t dwell on any questions Xu Juexi doesn’t want to answer, making Xu Juexi feel relaxed.
The car arrived at its destination quickly.
Gu Fengying opened the car door and let Xu Juexi get out first, then said to Gu Zhifeng without being so polite, “After you park the car, come up and find us. There are three tables by the window.”
Gu Zhifeng: “…Why not a private room?”
”Why a private room?” Gu Fengying asked, puzzled. “The view from the window is so nice, Xiaoxi will definitely like it.”
As he spoke, he reached out and closed the door, then took Xu Juexi’s hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you upstairs.”
Xu Juexi’s cheeks flushed as Gu Fengying held his palm, which felt warm.
He tiptoed close to Gu Fengying’s ear and said, “I understand.”
”Um?”
”I remember he had a lot of fans. If he swaggered into the downtown shopping mall, he would definitely be mobbed by people.”
Gu Fengying pretended to suddenly realize, “Oh, I see. Then my third brother might not be able to eat cake with us. What a pity. I didn’t even think of that. Our Xiaoxi is so smart.”
As he spoke, he reached out and tapped Xu Juexi’s nose.
Xu Juexi was amused by his act and said, “You smell so good, did you wear perfume?”
He leaned close to Gu Fengying and took a breath, saying somewhat vaguely, “It smells like… like the scent of flowers on a tree. I used to smell it often when I was in school.”
”Is that so?” Gu Fengying paused, straightening his coat. “It’s probably because I was helping the girls in the shop test fragrances at the studio yesterday, and the scent is still on my coat.”
“It smells nice.” Xu Juexi said sincerely, “If you are an alpha, I feel this scent would be quite suitable as your pheromone.”
”Does Xiaoxi like it?”
Xu Juexi thought for a moment and commented, “It smells better than Gu Zhifeng’s.”
Gu Fengying smiled: “Hmm? It seems Xiaoxi is quite familiar with him.”
Xu Juexi immediately replied, “Not familiar with him.”
”That’s good.”
Gu Fengying said, “Then it seems what he said earlier wasn’t true either. Xiaoxi, I knew he was talking nonsense. You wouldn’t spread your legs for someone like that; that guy is mentally ill. I guessed right, didn’t I?”
The enclosed elevator car was cramped, and apart from the whooshing sound of the elevator ascending, the only other sounds were the breathing of the two people.
In this space, Xu Juexi had no choice but to face Gu Fengying directly, meeting his gaze as he looked down at him, a gaze that seemed to scrutinize him.
Soon, Xu Juexi guiltily looked away.
”Isn’t that so?”
Gu Fengying’s gaze remained quietly fixed on Xu Juexi, but his usually gentle eyes now inexplicably made Xu Juexi feel uneasy and extremely flustered.
”Xiaoxi, what he said… could it be true?”
”You really slept with him?”
