    Chapter 22 Absurdity If you don’t refuse, then you need it.

    Yu You was tired of crying and curled up on the bed in the master bedroom. His thick long eyelashes were soaked in strands and hung down tiredly, casting a faint layer of shadow. His flushed face was covered with messy tear stains.

    There was still a faint scent of vetiver left in the master bedroom, and Jiang Xunzhou’s promise that he would get the perfume soon managed to coax people.

    Jiang Xunzhou wiped his face with a hot towel, then went to the bathroom to take a shower again to wash away the citron amber smell from his body.

    When I came out, the bottle of vetiver perfume finally arrived.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s hair was dripping with water. He didn’t have time to dry it. He wrapped himself in a black bathrobe and hurriedly opened the door. He got a familiar perfume bottle and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.

    He also asked Assistant Wan to give a four-digit red envelope to everyone who was running back and forth tonight, and then returned to the room with the perfume.

    In the master bedroom, only one bedside lamp was turned on. The pale white light fell like a thin layer of gauze on Yu You’s beautiful profile, adding a soft and quiet color.

    Jiang Xunzhou sprayed some perfume on his wrist and handed it to Yu You’s face.

    The long eyelashes of the sleeping young man with his eyes closed trembled, he raised his chin, murmured vaguely, and gently pressed his hot cheek against Jiang Xunzhou’s wrist.

    As if he finally recognized the correct scent, the young man’s frown finally relaxed, and he rubbed Jiang Xunzhou’s wrist with his soft cheek, showing dependence.

    “Are you satisfied?” Jiang Xunzhou asked in a low voice.

    Yu You didn’t wake up from beginning to end, and his breathing was long and steady.

    As soon as Jiang Xunzhou removed his hand, an uneasy whimper escaped Yu You’s throat, and his black eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up. He was so frightened that he quickly handed his wrist back, and the young man became quiet again.

    He was angry and wanted to laugh, so he shouted: “…little ancestor.”

    Jiang Xunzhou was too lazy to bother, and went directly to bed, hugging the person into his arms, and probed Yu You’s forehead with the back of his hand. He felt that his body temperature seemed to have dropped a little, and he felt slightly relieved.

    Fortunately, the antipyretic medicine works.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s biological clock is always on time, and he wakes up in sync with the alarm clock. After pressing the alarm clock on his mobile phone, the first thing he does is to touch the forehead of the person in his arms with his palm.

    The boy didn’t wake up at all. He was sleeping soundly and his cheeks were warm. After Jiang Xunzhou confirmed that his body temperature was normal, he couldn’t help but pinched his face again.

    Jiang Xunzhou let go and got up, put on formal clothes, a new watch, and a iris bracelet as usual. He went downstairs and told Aunt Liu not to wake Yu You up, and went out alone.

    When getting in the car, Assistant Wan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still confused: “Isn’t Mr. Yu going to the company today?”

    Jiang Xunzhou said: “He had a low fever yesterday and will stay at home to rest today.”

    Assistant Wan said casually: “I remember that Mr. Yu also had a fever and fainted on the set two months ago.”

    Jiang Xunzhou frowned slightly. Before he could think deeply, a new message popped up on his phone, interrupting his train of thought.

    It was the foreign partner he asked to help buy perfume.

    [Mr. Jiang, the bottle of perfume you want has been discontinued and out of print. I helped you buy the last two bottles in other cities.】

    Discontinued and out of print?The last two bottles?

    Jiang Xunzhou pinched the bridge of his nose and started to have a headache again.

    According to a certain little ancestor’s extravagant usage, it won’t take long for the two bottles to be used up. What should I do if he makes trouble again?

    Jiang Xunzhou sent a message specifically to ask why that brand had been discontinued. The other person explained that the sales volume of local niche brands was not high, and due to poor management, the company went bankrupt last month.

    [The two bottles of perfume have been sent back by someone. They will arrive in about three or four days.】

    Jiang Xunzhou thanked her, sighed, and called Su Qiuling.

    Su Qiuling received a call from Jiang Xunzhou last night and again this morning, and she couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

    Both sons are not the type to stick to their families. They have their own careers and do not contact each other unless necessary. It is rare for them to talk to their families for two days in a row like this.

    Su Qiuling answered the call and asked gently: “Xunzhou, what’s wrong?”

    Jiang Xunzhou coughed, a little embarrassed, and said directly: “Mom, can you help me buy a perfume brand?”

    Su Qiuling was stunned for a moment, remembering what happened last night, and asked tentatively: “Which brand? That bottle of vetiver perfume you wanted to go back to last night?”

    “Yeah.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s tone was filled with helplessness: “Baby Xiaoyu only likes this one. When I changed to another brand of perfume, he got angry with me.”

    Su Qiuling was surprised: “Xiaoyu seems to have such a good temper, why would he still be angry with you?”

    “Really, I have no other choice, otherwise I wouldn’t be so anxious to get the perfume back from you last night. Unexpectedly, my friend told me that the perfume brand has closed down locally and is going through the liquidation process.”

    Jiang Xunzhou spoke in a low voice: “Mom, I know nothing about perfume R&D and quality inspection, so I can only trouble you when talking about the acquisition.”

    Su Qiuling laughed: “Don’t worry, it’s a small matter.”

    “Thank you, Mom.”

    After Jiang Xunzhou finished solving the problem, he felt a little more confident and went to the company to handle the work.

    After a busy morning, no one from Yu You sent him a message, and no one even answered his phone calls.

    Asked Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu said she saw no one when she left, and cooked pumpkin and millet porridge to warm in the kitchen.

    Jiang Xunzhou was worried and went back at noon.

    It was quiet in the villa, and the blueberry cheese sandwich placed on the dining table was covered with plastic wrap and showed no trace of being tampered with.

    Jiang Xunzhou frowned, went upstairs and entered his room.

    The curtains in the master bedroom were still open, the light was dim, and the scent of vetiver and iris in the air was ambiguously entangled, so strong that it seemed to have substance.

    The lights flicked on, reflecting the scene in the room.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s pupils suddenly shrank.

    There were a lot of clothes scattered on the large bed, crumpled like a pile of hills.

    The young man was nestled in this hill of clothes, curled up in a ball with long arms and legs, looking extremely pitiful.

    He was holding a large suit jacket tightly in his arms, a crimson blush appeared on his cheeks, his slightly bent legs were tightly closed, and they were rubbing restlessly, and he was humming an unbearable whimper at the tip of his nose.

    Jiang Xunzhou quickly approached and took the person into his arms. As soon as he put the back of his hand on Yu You’s forehead, he noticed a strange high temperature. He asked worriedly: “Why did you have a fever again? You piled so many clothes on the bed. Have you taken medicine this morning?”

    He was worried that Yu You would have a recurring fever, so he deliberately left the antipyretic medicine and water bottle on the bedside.

    Yu You slowly opened his misty eyes, his blurred vision fixed on Jiang Xunzhou’s face, and two soft and dumb words came out of his lips: “…husband?”

    Jiang Xunzhou picked up Yu You’s cell phone beside the bed and found that it had automatically shut down because of low battery.

    No wonder I didn’t reply to his message, and I don’t know how long the person had been feverish in the room.

    He probably felt cold instead of having a fever, so he took so many of his clothes and piled them on the bed.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes flashed with self-blame, and he lowered his voice to coax: “Are you feeling uncomfortable? If the medicine doesn’t work, you’d better call the family doctor to come and take a look.”

    He took his mobile phone and wanted to notify the family doctor to come over, but the boy in his arms suddenly struggled to sit up and reached out to grab it.

    Jiang Xunzhou was unprepared. With a flick of his wrist, the phone he had not yet dialed fell to the soft carpet with a clang.

    Yu You said hurriedly: “There’s no need to find a doctor. I’ve taken medicine. I’m fine.”

    “But your fever hasn’t gone away yet.” Jiang Xunzhou reassured, “It’s better to let the doctor come and take a look.”

    “But the doctor can’t make it better.” Yu You’s fingers grabbed Jiang Xunzhou’s collar and gasped softly, “Why don’t you give me a temporary mark, so I won’t feel so uncomfortable…”

    Another temporary mark.

    Jiang Xunzhou was speechless.

    Yu You took Jiang Xunzhou’s hand and put it on the side of his neck, crying in a dragging voice, begging: “This is it, please take a bite.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s fingers were guided to press on the side of the boy’s neck, and the soft white skin glowed with unusual heat.

    The small area where I pressed it showed an extremely beautiful pink color, like ripe summer berries on the branches, exuding a rich and sweet aroma.

    When the rough fingertips brushed against each other, the thin piece of skin trembled slightly, as sensitive as a new and tender flower bud.

    After just a little effort to rub it, the boy in his arms grabbed his clothes, his thin shoulders shaking terribly.

    The fragrance of iris in the air becomes increasingly sweet and heavy, with a seductive aura that makes people dizzy.

    Jiang Xunzhou felt that his body temperature was also rising. His mouth was dry and his whole body was a little dizzy. He finally managed to maintain his last bit of sanity and persuaded in a dumb voice: “Baby, you are sick. A bite from me is useless. You need to let the doctor come.”

    Yu You was so angry that he sat up, with red eyes, and bit Jiang Xunzhou’s neck angrily.

    He bit hard, leaving a deep red tooth mark, and Jiang Xunzhou hissed softly in pain.

    “I don’t want a doctor! Are you going to mark me?” Yu You flattened his mouth and complained aggrievedly, “If you can’t, I’ll find someone else!”

    Who can’t?

    Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes became dangerous for a second, and his arms tightened around Yu You’s waist, asking: “Who else are you looking for?”

    “Anyone is fine, I just don’t want you.”

    Yu You pushed him hard, his long eyelashes stained with tears: “You are not good at all. You don’t even give me a temporary mark. I want to find other vetiver-scented Alphas…”

    Jiang Xunzhou couldn’t understand the second half of the sentence, but he was already laughing out loud and his blood was jumping.

    Just because he refused to give that broken temporary mark, he planned to fall into the arms of someone else?

    Would other people coax and give in like him, giving him everything, even asking for a bottle of perfume, so they would be willing to go to their family members to help buy it?

    Jiang Xunzhou was so angry that he slapped the man in his arms on the buttocks, then pushed the young man between the messy clothes, lowered his head and bit him.

    Yu You sank into the layers of soft fabric on his back, feeling dizzy, and the side of his neck as white as jade was bitten hard.

    Sharp pain pierced the skin.

    Yu You’s mind went blank for a moment, and white lights seemed to flash in front of his eyes. His slender fingers clenched the clothes on Jiang Xunzhou’s back, pulling out wrinkles.

    The young man’s beautiful face turned rosy, and he gasped softly from his lips.

    Jiang Xunzhou raised his face and saw this scene, as if a nerve in his mind was suddenly severed.

    Why is it so… seductive?

    Yu You closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, feeling that the fever finally subsided a little due to the comfort of the temporary mark. He opened his eyes gratefully and looked at Jiang Xunzhou: “Thank you…husband.”

    With wet eyes, he prayed softly: “If you are free recently, can you stay with me for a few days?”

    Jiang Xunzhou stared at him with lowered eyes: “What do you mean by staying with you for a few days?”

    Yu You pursed his lower lip, his eyes flashed, and he spoke in a somewhat unspeakable voice: “That’s the condition I made when I signed the contract with you.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s Adam’s apple rolled slowly, and his eyes were filled with aggressive darkness.

    He thought that Yu You had given up the idea long ago because he never mentioned it.

    It turned out to be waiting for him here.

    “Okay.”

    There seemed to be a blazing fire burning in Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes, and his voice was hoarse: “Since I agreed to the conditions of the contract, I will not regret it.”

    The two people were close to each other, and Yu You suddenly felt something strange. He raised his head in surprise and quickly added: “Wait a minute, I’m not talking about today -”

    With the temporary mark here, he can still endure these two days on his own…

    But Jiang Xunzhou grabbed his chin and kissed him forcefully without any explanation.

    The intruding hot tongue blocked all the unfinished words, entangled the soft tongue, licked and sucked, and made a sticky slurping sound with undeniable strength.

    The desire that had just calmed down was easily rekindled, and the blood became restless again, boiling like lava.

    Yu You was so enraptured by the kiss that he breathed quickly. He subconsciously stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Jiang Xunzhou’s broad shoulders like vines, and took the initiative to cater to him.

    The light at the top of the room was as bright as day, shining brightly into the young man’s eyes, stimulating a few broken tears.

    Jiang Xunzhou noticed it, stretched out his hand and pressed the lamp holder beside the bed, turning on only a night light.

    The lights above their heads were turned off, and the heavy curtains blocked out the outside daylight. The view in the master bedroom was dim, leaving only this small piece of dim light to illuminate each other’s figures.

    The sound of wet and dense water was a bit ferocious. Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes were filled with lust. He pinched his chin and asked in a low voice: “If I don’t agree, are you planning to find someone else?”

    Yu You’s breathing was a little chaotic, and he was vaguely aware of his anger. He relied on his instinct to kiss him in a flattering manner: “No, only you, only you can…”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s thin lips curved a little, and he was finally coaxed to open his eyebrows and whispered: “Call me husband.”

    Yu You was obedient, his eyes flashing with attachment: “Husband.”

    The forgotten cell phone fell to the carpet and rang several times.

    The screen lit up and then went black, then went dark and then lit up again. Finally, I picked it up with sweaty palms and connected it once.

    The call was hung up briefly. In the office, the assistant looked at Assistant Wan blankly: “Wanzhu, Mr. Jiang said that the vice president would go to the dinner tonight for him. He also said that he had postponed the schedule for the past two days. If there is nothing important at work, don’t call him.”

    “Really?”

    Assistant Wan pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses and nodded calmly: “It should be because Mr. Yu is ill and Mr. Jiang stayed at home for two days. It’s not a big problem.”

    Assistant Wan is the head of the assistant department and the backbone of the entire team. What he says can be regarded as good advice and no one can question it.

    The little assistant nodded in admiration: “Yeah!”

    Immediately afterwards, he was slapped in the face. Jiang Xunzhou disappeared on the first day, and then on the second and third days…

    Assistant Wan looked at the work documents stacked on his desk with a numb expression on his face, feeling as if time was repeating itself.

    no.

    Come again?

    Su Qiuling also dialed the phone in surprise: “What is Xunzhou busy with recently? Why can’t he get through on the phone? Tell him that the perfume brand he wants is already in the acquisition process.”

    Assistant Wan said tremblingly: “Okay, I will definitely convey it to you. Mr. Jiang… can usually be contacted in the early morning.”

    Su Qiuling’s tone was shocked: “Huh?”

    One o’clock in the morning.

    The curtains in the bedroom had not been opened for three whole days, and the air was filled with an aura of indulgence.

    The young man closed his eyes and fell asleep, with peach petal-like kiss marks on his exposed snow-white shoulders. His cheeks were healthy and rosy, and his sleeping face was well-behaved and quiet.

    Jiang Xunzhou rubbed his eyebrows, got out of bed, and walked to the study.

    The black silk nightgown was tied loosely, and there were light red scratches scattered on the side of her neck and chest, which were enough to show the chaos of the past few days.

    Jiang Xunzhou had no choice but to deal with the work in the early morning.

    Yu You was so pestered that he would only fall asleep when it was almost early in the morning. Only then could he reluctantly escape and go to the study to use the computer to handle some work online.

    Jiang Xunzhou sat behind the desk, turned on the computer, briefly browsed some reports, and then returned to the bedroom after finishing the corresponding matters.

    As soon as he returned to bed, Yu You rolled into his arms spontaneously, raised his face in a daze, and asked, “Hubby, where have you been?”

    Jiang Xunzhou reached out and hugged him, and whispered back: “I went to the study to handle some work.”

    He pinched Yu You’s cheek again and sighed: “There is a new project going online tomorrow. I have to go back and keep an eye on it. I can’t make trouble like this anymore.”

    These three days of indulgence were enough nonsense.

    It’s time to call it a day.

    Jiang Xunzhou thought ruthlessly.

    Yu You asked blankly: “Husband, don’t you want me anymore?”

    Tears quickly accumulated in his eyes, the tip of his nose was red, and he was sobbing breathlessly: “I, I’m very good, don’t leave, okay? I don’t want you to leave, I don’t want to be alone…”

    The young man burst into tears and bit his lip. He looked so pitiful and aggrieved, full of the helplessness of being abandoned.

    “Why are you crying again?”

    Jiang Xunzhou was so heartbroken by him crying that he completely lost his mind and quickly coaxed him: “I didn’t say I didn’t want you. I just took two hours to go to the study to handle some work.”

    Yu You’s eyes were as red as a rabbit, with tears streaming down his face. His fingers were tugging at the corners of his clothes, as if he was afraid that someone would run away, and he made sure repeatedly uneasily: “Is it just two hours? You will still stay with me, right?”

    “Yes.”

    Jiang Xunzhou sighed softly, touched Yu You’s head and said, “I’m not leaving, I’ll stay with you.”

    Yu You finally laughed, and tugged at the corner of Jiang Xunzhou’s clothes with his fingers, gently shaking it, and begged in a low voice: “Honey, can you please not take that out before you go to the study to work tomorrow?”

    Jiang Xunzhou was startled: “That one?”

    Yu You was a little anxious. He didn’t understand why his partner Alpha was so stupid, so he had to explain more clearly: “That’s it. Only by staying inside can you increase the pregnancy rate. The longer it is blocked, the better…”

    But Jiang Xunzhou always carried him to the bathroom before going to bed, cleaning him thoroughly and meticulously, leaving nothing behind.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s Adam’s apple rolled, his ears felt hot, and he whispered: “Baby Xiaoyu, we are all men, even if we stay in there… we won’t be here.”

    “Okay! How could it not be possible?”

    Yu You interrupted hastily, taking Jiang Xunzhou’s hand and pressing it on his belly: “Or do you mean, my husband doesn’t want to have a baby with me?”

    Jiang Xunzhou laughed dumbly, but he really followed his words and said: “Even if it is possible, it is not now. Our little fish is still a baby. Let’s wait until you grow up a little. You are enough now.”

    Yu You was stunned for two seconds, then he arched his eyebrows and pushed himself into Jiang Xunzhou’s arms, then asked for a kiss coquettishly: “Honey, kiss.”

    Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head and kissed the corner of Yu You’s lips.

    The force is very light, like a feather passing by.

    Jiang Xunzhou coaxed in a low voice: “Go to sleep, good baby.”

    Yu You closed his eyes and put his cheek against his chest with peace of mind.

    When he was a student, Jiang Xunzhou also heard the gossip among his classmates, about young lovers in love who reunited after a long separation and stayed in the hotel for several days without leaving the house.

    When I first heard about it, I scoffed, thinking how could there be such a sticky couple. I even thought the man was exaggerating. In order to implicitly show how powerful he was in that aspect, he made the time as long as possible.

    Until Yu You pestered him for a whole week.

    There are no outsiders to disturb the whole villa, only takeout boxes are delivered to the door and light meals are provided.

    There are traces of the two people’s entanglement everywhere, especially in the study room. Sometimes Jiang Xunzhou had to go there to handle some work, and Yu You sat in his arms and couldn’t stay away from him.

    Even when eating, they had to sit together. Jiang Xunzhou fed him with his own hands and coaxed him to drink some porridge.

    The boundaries of time seem to have become blurred, and it is impossible to distinguish the past few days. It seems like an endless peach-pink dream.

    Sometimes when Jiang Xunzhou was still sleeping, Yu You got into his arms, raised his face for a kiss, and started a new day.

    Jiang Xunzhou had to satisfy Yu You and had to deal with work quickly in the gap of time. He became in a trance.

    Do those young couples do such high-intensity exercise in the hotel?

    For someone with a regular fitness routine, it was difficult for him to cope.

    I can’t see it at all. It turns out that everyone is… so good at this?Does it rely on innate hardware or acquired efforts?

    The delay was too long, and some activities that had to be attended were delayed until they could no longer be postponed. Assistant Wan had no choice but to ask Jiang Xunzhou’s brother Jiang Qingyan for help.

    Jiang Qingyan fell into silence when he learned that Jiang Xunzhou had not shown up for a whole week, but he agreed and helped attend the event.

    After stepping down from the stage after the event, I received a call from Jiang Xunzhou.

    The voice on the other side was hoarse and full of fatigue: “Brother, did you help me go to the project launch ceremony over there?”

    Jiang Qingyan said lightly: “It’s over.”

    Jiang Xunzhou sighed: “Okay, thank you.”

    “There’s no need to say thank you. Your assistant has sent me the speech. I’m just here to show my face.”

    Jiang Qingyan’s tone changed and he couldn’t help but feel a little bit weird: “But for a whole week, isn’t it a bit ridiculous? When Assistant Wan came to see me, I thought he was joking.”

    Jiang Xunzhou was embarrassed and embarrassed: “Brother, the situation here is more complicated.”

    “OK, complicated, understandable.”

    Jiang Qingyan nodded and asked thoughtfully: “So, do you still need the red kangaroo essence capsules I mentioned to you last time?”

    There was silence for a long time, and then the phone was hung up with a bang.

    Jiang Qingyan understood.

    If there is no rejection, then there is a need.

    Note
