This was the first time that Yue Fei received a call from He Yinyin. Gu Wei didn't tell him much about the Gu Family, and the book didn't focus much on the Gu Family matters. The only thing that is clarified was that Gu Wei is the leader in the Gu Family generation. Therefore, how to deal with He Yinyin, Yue Fei was a bit unsure on which right action to take.
"Are you busy?" He Yinyin was very polite.
Yue Fei: "I'm not busy, is there something you want to talk about?"
"Right. At the end of the month, it will be the Gu Family's ancestor worship day. The ancestor worship has always been handled by our family. Gu Wei is busy with work, so I want to ask if you have time next weekend to come here and help me. It only takes up two days of your weekend and will not affect study."
He Yinyin's gentle temperament made Yue Fei unable to refuse.
"Yes, of course it's okay, Gu...Wei is on a business trip as we speak, but when he comes back tonight, I will tell him and let him take me there next weekend." Yue Fei responded politely.
He Yinyin: "Okay. See you next week, Xiao Fei."
"See you next week." Yue Fei said.
He Yinyin asked him to come to the Gu Family Manor? According to her, he will only be asked to be there next weekend, and Gu Wei will be "busy at work", so it was not like she forced him to be there.
He and Gu Wei had been married for a while, and He Yinyin might have wanted to spend more time with him. She hadn't had the opportunity to do so, and now it just so happened that the Gu Family's ancestor worship time is just around the corner.
What should he do? Yue Fei was a little bit distressed; mother always knows everything, and he was worried that He Yinyin would see through the false marriage between him and Gu Wei.
However, being all anxious now is not going to help, this matter can only be discussed with Gu Wei after the man comes back in the evening. Yue Fei sighed, put the phone aside, picked up the book and continued to study.
If he were to go back to the main house next weekend, he would have no more time to study. He should make good use of the time he has now on studying.
When Gu Wei came back in the evening, Yue Fei was still working hard in the study room, and didn't go downstairs until the man personally came up and asked him to eat.
"Studying hard today?" Gu Wei teased him.
Yue Fei: "Because I won't have time to study next week."
Gu Wei: "Why?"
Yue Fei: "Your mother called and asked me to go to the main house next week to help her prepare for the ancestor worship."
Gu Wei grabbed the food and said, "Don't worry about it, I will call her back later."
"But I have agreed." Yue Fei blinked.
Gu Wei: "It's okay."
"...I also said you will take me back next weekend." Yue Fei confessed honestly, "Her call came so sudden, and I was not prepared."
"Actually, it's okay to go back, but I'm afraid you can't handle it." Gu Wei's tone suddenly became serious. "Although my mother looks gentle and affectionate, you should know that for her to sit in the position of the wife of the Gu Family with power, she definitely is not someone who you can take lightly."
Yue Fei became a little nervous: "Then you should stop working on the weekend and go back with me? Or you can find an excuse to tell your mother that I can't make it."
Seeing him taking the bait, the corner of Gu Wei's mouth twitched: "But you don't have to worry too much. My mother supports me in inheriting the Gu Family as soon as possible."
Yue Fei: "..." So the previous phrase was just teasing him?
"She called to ask you to come to the main house now, it is probably because she is bored all by herself. She wants to nurture her relationship with you. It's no big deal. I will take you back on the weekend. The day for ancestor worship is Monday. It's better for you to ask for your absence in advance. We might have to stay three days at the Gu Family." Gu Wei simply arranged.
"...Suddenly I think it's better to not go back." Yue Fei gritted his teeth.
Gu Wei took his cellphone on one side: "Then I told my mother that you can't go because you are sick, and let her come here to visit you."
Yue Fei hurriedly stopped the man with his hand: "I haven't been to the Gu Family manor. It's good to go there once in a while, so I just consider it as sightseeing."
Gu Wei jokingly said, "The Gu's Manor is indeed worth sightseeing."
As a well-preserved traditional building in the last century, the historical value and cultural value of the Gu Family Manor are well-known in China.
Yue Fei retracted his hand, pursed out his lip and clamped all the meat in front of Gu Wei into his own bowl, and answered insincerely: "Then I'm looking forward to it."
...
Back at school on Monday, Yue Fei received a link from Yin Xinchen about Tang Xi posting an apology letter on the public social media.
Yue Fei: [ok]
Yin Xinchen: There will be no next time.
Yue Fei wanted to say something to him, but he stopped his finger and did not reply after all.
Without him in the plot, Yin Xinchen needs to go on by himself.
Just like him, choosing to stay away from the protagonists, he still has to live his life with meaning.
Jian Yi came to the dormitory to look for Yue Fei several times, but Yue Fei let Zhao Zhi and the others block him out. After two times, Yue Fei directly moved to the apartment off campus. He felt that he had made it clear to Jian Yi that the two of them have broken up and no need to meet again.
Should Yue Fei persuade him to cherish Yin Xinchen? He is not that crazy.
Compared with these trivial things at school, the approaching weekend is the main source of Yue Fei's anxiety.
After school on Friday, a low-key Maybach drove into the school. Yue Fei waited for the driver to pick him up in front of the lecture building. While waiting, he lowered his head and played with his phone until a familiar Mr. Yue called to him, he raised his head.
He had the impression that the car parked in front of him was in Gu Wei's garage, the one that Gu Wei rarely drove in. The driver had already got out of the car and opened the door, just waiting for Yue Fei to get into the car.
The driver did not deliberately raise his voice when calling to Yue Fei, but his call still attracted the attention of the students passing by.
The window was lowered, and Gu Wei in the back seat leaned forward, focusing on Yue Fei: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you get in the car?"
Yue Fei let out an "ah", opened the car door, and lowered his head to get into the back seat.
"Is it far? The Gu Manor." Yue Fei asked Gu Wei.
Gu Wei: "One and a half hours drive."
Yue Fei: "That's still a bit of a distance."
After saying this, Yue Fei looked out the window, and the car fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Gu Wei held his chin and looked at him: "Nervous?"
Yue Fei said stiffly: "No."
Gu Wei didn't expose him either: "It's good that you don't get nervous, there is nothing to worry about. Just remember if someone asks you about me, you only need to say that I never discuss work-related matters with you."
Yue Fei: "You never discuss it with me."
"Uh, so you can answer truthfully." Gu Wei nodded, "Even if I discuss it with you now, you can't understand it. Until you start an internship in your senior year, you can come to the Gu Group's Headquarter."
Yue Fei thought about the qualifications and skills of those around Gu Wei: "Will you let me be your secretary?"
It seems that being a secretary is asking too much.
Gu Wei: "Well, it's not impossible if you want to be a bodyguard."
"I will think about it." Yue Fei knew that he was teasing himself, and took his words, "I'm just afraid that you will be embarrassed: a dignified alpha will need a beta's protection."
Gu Wei: "Alpha's commission is now expensive, in contrast, beta is more economical."
Yue Fei didn't expect to receive such a counterpart like this, and said with a smile: "You deserve to be a capitalist."
After a few jokes, Yue Fei started talking about business.
"Do I have to pay attention to anything when I'm there? For example, do your parents have any peeves?" Yue Fei asked him.
Gu Wei: "My father won't be at home, and my mother won't cause you any trouble. Just treat them as your own elder, don't worry about it."
His words did not make Yue Fei feel better, but Yue Fei could only respond: "Okay."
"But the rest of the Gu Family, don't get too close to them." Gu Wei's eyes fell forward, and briefly explained the current situation of the Gu Family to Yue Fei. "My father is the first born alpha, but he does not have the skill for business; the reason he was able to take over the Gu Family's business was due to my grandfather taking my future into consideration. Therefore, grandfather drafted up the will for when he passed away. There is no need to wait for my father to grow old or retired. As long as I get married, I can completely take over the Gu Family from my father."
"For this reason, the alphas of the same generation as my father, such as my second uncle and fifth uncle, are not convinced of my father sitting in this position now. Even with the juniors in my generation who are living off the family's wealth, they all want to see my family being ridiculed. Now they know that I am married to a beta, there are many people who are secretly trying to provoke the separation between my father and me, and of course there are many people who have clearly expressed their support for me."
"The stakes in this are complex and complicated, but simple, in fact, they are also very simple."
"As long as I don't have any scandals, the position of the person in charge of the Gu Family can only be given to me."
In the last sentence, Gu Wei said with confidence and firmness.
Yue Fei looked at him and was touched for a moment. He was once reading about Gu Wei's arrogance in the text. He also felt that the author who wrote the book was too exaggerated, but now this living person is by his side, and Yue Fei can perceive Gu Wei's aura and charm that makes people unconsciously surrender.
Maybe there is such a person, who was born to be the leader.
Is this the so-called top alpha?
It is not like Jian Yi's childish dominance of an alpha who hasn't graduated from college, nor it is Tang Yue's easy-going attitude, but the king's aura engraved in his bones.
This is the charm of a mature man. With the bonus of money and power, the appearance and experience are beyond normality; even for a gay like himself would fall for this man.
A bright light flashed in Yue Fei's eyes, and he looked at Gu Wei with a little admiration. He really wanted to be an alpha like Gu Wei.
But he is just a beta...
The gaze he looked at Gu Wei was too obvious. Gu Wei couldn't ignore it all together. After waiting for a while, seeing that the boy didn't mean to constrain at all, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover the boy's eyes and turn his face away.
"We will be at the Gu's Manor soon, don't look at me like this."
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Gu Wei's words, it did not prevent Yue Fei from suddenly getting excited like being injected with chicken blood [1]. Now in his mind, he sees this as playing a video game where he, the player, is going to enter the next level, and the Gu Family people are like the mobs in the game. He wants to kill them one by one!
"I will definitely help you successfully become the person in charge of the Gu Family." Yue Fei made up his mind.
Hearing this, Gu Wei chuckled lightly and said sharply: "Get the school scholarship at the end of this term first, then we can talk about others."
"..."
Being splashed with reality made Yue Fei calm down instantly. Forget it, he should continue being the salted fish [2]. When Gu Wei failed to succeed the Gu Family, he would break their agreement and leave.
Yue Fei turned his head and looked out the window, ignoring Gu Wei.
...
As the car moved away from the busy city, the surrounding trees gradually increased, and Yue Fei stared at the scenery outside the window.
Maybe it was too quiet inside the car. After a while, Gu Wei asked him: "What are you thinking? Still nervous?"
Yue Fei: "No, just spacing out."
The young man's slightly thin shoulders leaned on the car door, his gaze fell on the far end of the sky outside the window, his expression was indifferent, as if everything here had nothing to do with him, it seems like he could leave here without nostalgia.
Gu Wei was quiet for a while, and then said: "This time there should be a lot of people trying to do something during the ancestor worship. Being nervous is just natural."
?
Yue Fei looked back at him.
"I have received some tips." Gu Wei seemed to hesitate to say something, and then fell quiet after speaking.
Yue Fei's attention has been drawn back by him. Seeing him pause, he couldn't help but urge: "What tips?"
Gu Wei tilted his head to look at him: "Someone plans to lure you into cheating in order to destroy our marriage and to prevent me from inheriting the Gu Family."
Yue Fei: "Huh?"
"If you are an omega, it is estimated that the people this time might have given you several doses of drugs that make the suppressants ineffective, but you are a beta. They can't take advantage of your estrus weakness and can only find a way to start elsewhere." Gu Wei was eloquent.
After being shocked, Yue Fei was curious: "Then why haven't I met anyone with malicious intentions after you and I have been married for so long?"
Gu Wei: "Because I haven't officially announced your identity to the public, this ancestor worship is an official announcement of your identity. There will be a lot more temptations you will encounter in the future."
"Oh, then can I not come?" Yue Fei felt very troublesome when he listened.
Gu Wei: "If you don't go, they will have an excuse to not recognize you."
Yue Fei frowned: "It seems I'm in a tight position."
"Don't worry, I am here." Gu Wei consoled him in turn.
Although it felt a little weird, Yue Fei responded, "Yeah."
After a while, Yue Fei reacted: "Are you scaring me?"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why do you think so?"
With this tone, Yue Fei obviously could tell that he was just teasing him, he gritted his teeth and snorted, "I'm really looking forward to the person they sent to seduce me. They must send a handsome guy, and must have a good body..."
Gu Wei: "Heh."
...
The long-yet-short journey came to an end, the car drove into an iron gate, but did not intend to stop.
Yue Fei leaned on the car window and looked out. "Is the main house one of the villas in this community home?"
Gu Wei also looked out the window: "No, we are already here."
Yue Fei looked back at him with doubts: "Huh?"
"Mr. Yue, starting from that iron gate, this whole land belongs to the Gu Family." The driver in front suddenly explained.
The sudden comment made Yue Fei smile a little embarrassed: "I see."
Gu Wei retracted his gaze from the window, glanced at Yue Fei, and said, "He is Gu Fang, our family member."
"Oh." Yue Fei nodded non-committal.
In fact, Yue Fei had noticed that even though Gu Wei had explained the situation of Gu Family in the car just now, he did not mention one word about their contracted marriage. He was more cautious because there was a third person present, and Gu Wei would not think that Gu Fang is "family member" as he said, or that Gu Fang is not as trustworthy as Tang Yue, "an outsider".
The car quickly stopped in front of an ancient house.
Yue Fei got out of the car and was stunned on the spot.
Knowing that this is the Gu Family Manor, or else he would think which tourist attraction Gu Wei took him to.
"Are your elders like this?" Yue Fei didn't know how to describe it. "The feeling this building gives out..."
Gu Wei: "This house has a history of hundreds of years. According to the Gu Family's rules, it can only be repaired but not rebuilt. So there are a lot of inconveniences living here. Most people have moved out. My mother only stays here this time due to the ancestor worship."
"By the way, I'm going to stay for two days, but I forgot to bring clothes!" Yue Fei said after realizing it.
Gu Wei: "I have already packed up for you. Gu Fang will put the luggages in our room."
"Our room?" Yue Fei stared at him.
Gu Wei: "Otherwise?"
You, me, one, room...
Yue Fei completely forgot about this. In the Gu Family's house, they definitely can't sleep in separate rooms.
He had used this week to get all nervous, and he was completely unprepared for this possibility...
"I'm getting nervous again." Yue Fei took a deep breath.
Gu Wei looked at Yue Fei that suddenly got all panicked, raised the corners of his mouth, and wrapped the young man's hand in his palm: "It's okay, I'm here."
The two entered the door holding hands. Sometimes a servant passed by and greeted the two of them. Yue Fei followed Gu Wei, smiling and silently watching the surrounding environment with his eyes.
Suddenly, a long-haired man floated by on the opposite promenade.
Yue Fei's footsteps stopped, and Gu Wei who noticed his strangeness also stopped in his steps.
"What's wrong?"
Yue Fei turned his head, with a dull expression on his face, pointing to the opposite promenade, not daring to speak loudly: "Just now, someone floated past us from the other side."
Really, it was floating!
Gu Wei was taken aback for a moment, and looked towards Yue Fei's pointed direction.
The empty promenade was inexplicably creepy.
"Are you mistaken?" Gu Wei looked back at Yue Fei.
Yue Fei's eyes looked past the man and fell straight to the opposite side: "He is floating back again! He is looking at us!"
Gu Wei raised his head, and on the opposite promenade, Gu Weii smiled and waved at them.
"Hi~"
...
Seeing the long-haired man approaching on the hoverboard, Yue Fei couldn't manage the expression on his face. It was too embarrassing!
Gu Weii's smiley eyes made him want to die on the spot.
"First brother, when did you come back?" Gu Wei asked.
Gu Weii got off the hoverboard: "I just arrived yesterday, this is Xiao Fei, he's so cute."
Yue Fei grinned: "Hello, first brother."
At a closer look, Gu Weii has long hair, three-dimensional features, affectionate eyebrows, and a slightly slender but not thin body. He is a standard beauty.
Yue Fei had not recovered from the embarrassment of thinking of the man as a ghost, Gu Weii suddenly approached Yue Fei and raised his arms to give him a hug.
The scent of roses entered his nostrils, and Yue Fei froze as the man's soft body surrounded him.
"I'm glad to finally meet you, Xiao Fei."
Yue Fei's face flushed instantly.
"Thank you...me too, first brother."
The hug was soon ended, Gu Weii straightened up and noticed the boy's shyness. He moved his lips and was about to tease the boy. But, he was surrounded by a pair of strong arms around his waist and made him fall back into the familiar arms.
"You are being naughty again."
A serious voice rang in his ears, and Gu Weii had no intention of making fun of others, and looked back at his alpha: "You are back."
"Uh."
"Brother Lin," Gu Wei greeted the man.
Lin Qi nodded: "Mom is waiting for you in the South Hall."
After saying this, he left with Gu Weii.
Yue Fei watched from the side and guessed in his heart that Gu Weii and this man called Brother Lin by Gu Wei are partners. That man also called He Yinyin's mother, so he should have been married to Gu Weii.
Thinking that He Yinyin was already waiting for them, Yue Fei took Gu Wei's hand and wanted to move forward, but found that Gu Wei hadn't moved.
"What's wrong?"
He turned around to ask Gu Wei, but was being pushed two steps backward as his back leaned against the pillar in the corridor.
Shrouded in the shadow of the alpha that was half a head taller than himself, Yue Fei raised his head and said, "What are you doing?"
Gu Wei looked at him: "What are you blushing at Gu Weii?"
Yue Fei: "..."
"He is an omega, and he already has an alpha." Gu Wei gritted each word.
"Oh." Yue Fei lowered his head, it was nothing out of the ordinary for him, isn't it a normal reaction of blushing when being hugged by a beauty!
Gu Wei squinted, "Your reaction just now is enough for my first brother to doubt us."
"!"
"No way..." Yue Fei felt a little frustrated.
"Isn't that you like alpha? Can't you tell that he's an omega?" Gu Wei's face was not pretty.
Yue Fei: "Uh, I have never been hugged like that before, so I was a bit shy. It has nothing to do with alpha or omega."
Gu Wei was silent for a moment, and opened his arms to embrace the person in front of him.
Yue Fei's forehead hit the other's shoulder, a slightly hard embrace, but an unexpected fit, the man's breath was the familiar wilderness rosin.
Suddenly, the warm palms were placed on his waist, and Yue Fei leaned forward into the embrace.
His mind was completely blank for a second, and Yue Fei completely lost his reaction.
He didn't know how long it had been, Gu Wei let go of Yue Fei's body, looked down at the boy's expression, and saw that the other's cheeks were red. He straightened up with a satisfaction expression.
As he was about to say something, he saw Gu Weii standing on the opposite corridor and squinting at them.
"Don't get too intimate, Mom is still waiting."
Gu Wei replied perfunctorily: "I know."
His eyes fell on Yue Fei again.
After regaining his senses, Yue Fei understood that Gu Wei's behavior just now was just to see him blushing, he couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his face, kicked Gu Wei and said, "You are too much."
Alpha's desire to dominate regardless of the situation can be a headache sometimes!
...
Following Gu Wei to the South Hall, Yue Fei saw He Yinyin standing at the table practicing calligraphy at a glance. He had not seen her since the last time the two families met. The reason for Yue Fei appearing here was because she made that sudden call. She was the first of Gu Wei's relatives to take the initiative to contact him.
"You are here." Seeing them coming, He Yinyin put down the brush in her hand, "Xiao Fei, come here."
Yue Fei approached obediently and saw the words He Yinyin had just written on the table.
"How is it? I wrote your name and my third child's name, and after looking at them this way, I found that your names are also a good match." He Yinyin said with a smile.
Yue Fei couldn't see the good match, but he could only cooperate with her and said, "You wrote so well."
He Yinyin's beautiful eyes looked towards Yue Fei.
Yue Fei blinked: "Mom."
He Yinyin: "Eh, Xiao Fei has such a sweet tongue. Eat a piece of melon to quench your thirst."
Yue Fei took the fruit plate that He Yinyin handed over and ate a piece from it obediently.
Gu Wei walked behind Yue Fei: "Mom, Yue Fei is a good kid, don't scare him."
Seeing him protecting his partner, He Yinyin laughed: "It sounds like I'm going to swallow him whole. Okay, you can take Xiao Fei to your room to rest. When your second brother comes back, we will have dinner at the main hall later."
Leaving the South Hall, Yue Fei followed Gu Wei through the winding corridor and stopped in front of a courtyard.
"This is where I used to live when I was young." Gu Wei opened the courtyard door and took Yue Fei in.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, there was a well-kept small garden inside. There is even a spring of running water winding through the courtyard and crossing the stone bridge, which is the nice place to sleep.
After entering the living room, Yue Fei spoke the first sentence: "Are there a lot of mosquitoes here at night?"
Gu Wei rubbed the boy's head when he heard these words: "Don't worry, there are people who handle these things."
Soon a servant brought tea to the two of them. Yue Fei sat down on the sofa and didn't want to get up. From the main gate to the South Hall and then here, he felt that he had exercised for at least half an hour.
"First brother's hoverboard, is there still one available?" Yue Fei drank his tea and asked Gu Wei tentatively.
Gu Wei: "Do you want to play?"
It's a very good means of transportation! Yue Fei thought to himself, and said, "It looks fun."
How could Gu Wei not know what he was thinking, and ordered the servant who brought the snack to go fetch it.
The servant quickly fetched it. Obviously, in this house, the hoverboard is not rare.
"Do you know how to use it?" Gu Wei asked when he watched him squat on the ground and fiddled with the board, but not getting on it.
Yue Fei turned around and smiled at him: "No."
Gu Wei looked at him with a smile.
"You have nothing to do anyway, teach me." Yue Fei got up and said to Gu Wei, pointing to the hoverboard.
Gu Wei didn't move: "Don't you need to be more sincere when asking someone to be your teacher?"
Be sincere? Yue Fei felt that Gu Wei was starting to tease him again, so childish.
"If you don't want to teach me, I'll learn by myself." As he said, Yue Fei picked up the hoverboard and went to the open space at the door by himself. At the same time, he turned on the phone and searched for how to ride the hoverboard videos online.
But there is no instructional video. Everyone says it's very simple. Just look at the instructions and try it out.
So Yue Fei directly stepped on it, and then fell.
The servant who was looking after the garden was shocked when he saw it, and was about to step forward to assist when he saw the person who was leisurely watching in the room quickly got up and walked a few steps out.
The first time riding it, it was really difficult to balance oneself without anyone holding on to the side. Yue Fei tried to get up from the ground, but there was a tingling in his wrist, and he almost gave up.
Gu Wei frowned and stepped forward to hold the person up: "Are you okay?"
Yue Fei remembered that he had just asked Gu Wei to teach, but Gu Wei only wanted to tease him, and it was inevitable that he was a little angry.
"I'm fine." Yue Fei pushed Gu Wei away with his elbow and stood up by himself.
Gu Wei paused, and seeing Yue Fei lowered his head as heading into the room, he took a step back and looked back at the servant in the yard: "Call Dr. Zheng to come over."
After speaking, he followed Yue Fei into the small hall.
Before the family doctor came over, Gu Wei took the first aid kit handed by the servant, took out the antiseptic, and sat next to Yue Fei.
"Give me your hand."
Yue Fei pretended to be playing with his phone and stayed away: "No, I will heal in a bit."
Gu Wei directly grabbed his hand: "Why are you throwing a tantrum?"
Even scolded him?
"..." Yue Fei got up, pursing his lips, and took his hand back, "I say no need."
Gu Wei raised his head to look at him, his jaw tightened up, and he was obviously a little angry because of Yue Fei's repeated resistance and refusal.
Dr. Zheng soon rushed over.
Towards the family doctor, Yue Fei didn't resist, and obediently let him check his injury. After confirming that there was no bone injury, Dr. Zheng quickly treated his wound, and then got up and left.
When there were only the two of them left in the living room, the atmosphere clearly got tensed up.
It happened that He Yinyin asked them to come to the main hall for dinner.
Yue Fei followed the servant who was leading the way, and Gu Wei followed him in silence.
In the main hall, He Yinyin, Gu Wei, Lin Qi, and Gu Xing had arrived. Seeing them coming, He Yinyin greeted Yue Fei: "Xiao Fei, sit next to me."
Yue Fei smiled and agreed.
When the person sat down next to her, He Yinyin noticed the wound on Yue Fei's hand: "What happened?"
Yue Fei was a little embarrassed: "I fell while playing with the hoverboard."
Hearing this, Gu Weii glanced at Gu Wei. Seeing that Gu Wei was quiet and obviously in a bad mood, he raised the corner of his mouth and said to Yue Fei: "It's very simple. I'll teach you later."
Yue Fei: "Thank you, first brother."
Gu Wei raised his eyes: "No need, I can teach him myself."
Gu Weii looked at He Yinyin: "Mom..."
He Yinyin scolded Gu Wei: "Gu Wei, watch your manner."
Gu Xing raised his eyebrows and watched the show. He might be the only one who will be having a good meal tonight.
On the way back to the courtyard after eating, Yue Fei still didn't talk to Gu Wei. Gu Wei was wearing a heavy expression on, obviously not in a good mood.
To get angry over such a trivial matter, if it was a few weeks back, Yue Fei would never act this way; but now, Yue Fei was obviously angry, and he could not sort out his own emotions right now. Anyway, he just did not want to talk to Gu Wei for the time being.
Similarly, Gu Wei felt that he was a little too emotional tonight. On the way back, he wanted to find a chance to reconcile with Yue Fei, but looking at Yue Fei's cold face, he couldn't speak up.
Seeing Yue Fei taking the wrong turn and getting further and further away from the yard, Gu Wei finally sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand to hold him: "Over here."
The two who were inexplicably caught in the Cold War, or Yue Fei continued the Cold War unilaterally, and they fell into silence again. After returning to their own small yard, one stood outside to feel the breeze, and the other went back to the room to grab the clothes to take a bath, and each did their own things.
It wasn't until late at night that the two of them walked into the same room and finally met each other's eyes.
Yue Fei: "I'm going to sleep outside. Anyway, the whole family knows that we had a fight today. It's normal for us to sleep separately."
Gu Wei has no opinion: "It's up to you."
So Yue Fei took the pillow and walked directly out of the room, and also helped Gu Wei close the door.
The sofa in the living room was big enough, Yue Fei was about to lie down; the door of the room was opened from inside, and Gu Wei walked out.
"You sleep inside, I sleep outside." Gu Wei bypassed Yue Fei and lay directly on the sofa, resting on the pillow that Yue Fei took out.
Yue Fei: "..."
Seeing him not leaving, Gu Wei closed his eyes and said, "Or do you want to sleep on the sofa with me?"
After hearing this, Yue Fei turned his head and left, he slammed the door shut.
In the dark living room, after Gu Wei was quiet for a while, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "The temper is really getting bigger and bigger."
The ancient wall clock swayed gently, the whole house gradually quieted down, the lights went out one by one, and the night was late. The animals residing around the Gu Family Manor, which was entrenched in the middle of the mountain, closed their eyes like a giant beast and fell into dormancy.
In his sleep, Gu Wei smelled the pheromone that was of a clear sweet spring in Nanwan Xiang District, but this time, the sweetness was more intense. If it was really a perfume scent, then the person who sprayed this pheromone must have poured the perfume bottle onto himself.
In the darkness, the rosin scent got restless, Gu Wei opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the closed door in the corner.
Yue Fei was awakened by thirst, his throat felt like burning fire, frowning and reaching out to fumble for the water glass placed on the bedside table, but when he picked it up, he found that the water in the glass was empty.
He finished it before going to bed.
He was so thirsty, he turned over and got off the bed, took the glass and walked out of the room door.
As soon as the door was opened, a seemingly scent of pine wrapping around him, Yue Fei didn't care about his physical discomfort, and he just supported the wall and walked towards the place where the kettle was placed.
Is it a fever? Yue Fei did not know what was going on, and reached out his hand to touch his forehead, only to touch a handful of sweat.
There were footsteps approaching behind him, and there shouldn't be anyone here except Gu Wei.
Yue Fei turned around and wanted Gu Wei to call a doctor for him.
But before he could turn around, he was pushed against the wall by someone from behind.
The glass in his hand rolled on the ground.
"What is this smell, on your body?"
A deep voice rang in his ears, and Yue Fei couldn't move under the sturdy body behind him, so he could only raise his fragile neck and tilt his head to look at Gu Wei.
"What are you, being all aggressive for?"
He had a hard time gritting out each word with labor breathing, Yue Fei wondered if he had some terminal illness, and why it suddenly became so uncomfortable.
However, Gu Wei gritted his teeth and pressed his lips against the boy's auricle, and his voice was cruel: "I'm not being crazy, it's the heat, estrus heat, you, are, in heat!"
Yue Fei couldn't understand Gu Wei's words at all, what heat, what estrus, and who was in estrus heat?
However, Gu Wei did not realize that although the pheromone exuded by Yue Fei's body was rich, it did not have the slightest entanglement. On the contrary, his pheromone met the other party's, just like seeing some delicious delicacy, going all wild and wanting to capture and swallow the other.
When the two faced each other, the door of the living room moved slightly, and a thin figure slipped in through the crack of the door.
Gu Wei turned his head when he heard the noise, his frontal nerve twitched, and an omega in heat came in. Before seeing who inside the room, the omega had already begun to try to seduce him with a pungent and inferior pheromone.
Interfered by the sudden intrusion of omega pheromone, Yue Fei only felt that his body's temperature had not dropped but only increased, and could not help but put his cheeks on the wall. The cold wall finally gave him a brief relaxation, and he heaved out a relaxed sigh.
The sigh sounded in Gu Wei's ears, but it was more appealing than the pheromone with strong desire and hope at the door.
"Wait for me." Gu Wei's voice was already hoarse.
With the body weight on him leaving, Yue Fei's legs were weak, and he couldn't help sliding down the wall and sitting on the ground.
There was a scream and exclamation by his ears, followed by the sound of the door being closed, Yue Fei was really hot and confused, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the door of the living room or the bedroom door that was closed.
It seemed that someone else had come in, so why did Gu Wei leave? Entertaining guests at this hour? Why didn't he call a doctor for him? Was he going to let him get burned up all night?
The more Yue Fei thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, and only felt that Gu Wei was not qualified to be his contracted partner.
Just when he was thinking that he would break the contract with Gu Wei when he recovered, Gu Wei came back.
The rosin that was no longer suppressed completely enveloped the gurgling sweet spring, and Gu Wei tightened his arms and lifted the person from the ground.
"Tomorrow you better give me a reasonable explanation."
After returning to the room, Yue Fei felt the fire on his body gradually extinguish after he touched the soft bed.
With his eyes half open, he saw Gu Wei sitting by the bed, giving himself an injection, and his face was sweaty.
Can fever be contagious?
With such doubts, Yue Fei fell asleep again.
After injecting himself with the suppressant, Gu Wei did not leave the room immediately, but looked at Yue Fei who fell asleep with complicated eyes.
The omega pheromone in the room that was so rich that almost made him lose control just disappeared in a very short time.
Because he was worried about the side effects, he only injected the suppressant on himself, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with Yue Fei, but he obviously didn't need to deal with it now.
Gu Wei even began to wonder if there is something wrong with his sense of smell, but the remaining sweet scent in the room, the bright red face and the sweat all over the boy's body told him that he was not mistaken.
After thinking for a while, Gu Wei took out his phone and looked up his friend's number, who is a PhD student specializing in physiology of the three sexes, and sent a message to the person.
[Can beta be in heat?]
The other party was obviously a night owl, and he responded very quickly.
[Does your group have another new project? Now the most cutting-edge research has found that even beta, it is possible to have estrus, because beta is not without glands, but the glands are not fully developed, so if certain conditions are met, beta may be in pseudo-estrus.]
[The reason why it is called pseudo-estrus is that beta can survive the estrus period even if they are not marked or being injected with suppressants.]
[It's quite interesting.]
After reading the reply from the other party, Gu Wei touched his inner cheek with the tip of his tongue, and after a tick, moved his finger to reply to the other party.
[Not interesting at all.]
