Chapter 144: Entanglement

Shu Lin reached out his arms to Shao Chengxi, coquettishly calling out, “Brother…”

A smile immediately appeared on Shao Chengxi’s face. He quickly walked to the bedside, leaned over, and caressed Shu Lin’s cheek:

“Baby, did you sleep well? Is anything bothering you?”

Shu Lin shook his head, his cheek rubbing against his palm: “I slept well. I’m fine, brother.”

“Hehe… well,” Gu Xiao, overdosed on their affection, wisely stood up, “Since Minister Shao is here, I won’t be a third wheel. Hehe, Bao, I’ll go first.”

Only the two lovebirds were left in the ward.

Shao Chengxi sat down by the bed, picked up chopsticks, and placed a piece of fish near Shu Lin’s mouth: “Baby, eat some more.”

Shu Lin shook his head, looked directly at him, his eyes full of concern:

“Brother, haven’t you rested these past two days?”

“You look so tired, don’t worry about anything else, come, lie down and get a good night’s sleep.”

Shao Chengxi was pulled into his arms, and he took the opportunity to hold Shu Lin even tighter.

He lowered his head and gently inhaled the familiar apricot-scented pheromones from the Omega’s neck, his tense nerves relaxing.

“Baby…”

His voice was hoarse, filled with deep weariness.

But his hands were not well-behaved.

Shu Lin grabbed his wandering hand, “Brother, be serious! Get a good night’s sleep first…”

Shao Chengxi chuckled and deliberately rubbed his nose against him.

“But I can’t sleep.” The warm breath sprayed onto his sensitive skin, causing Shu Lin to tremble slightly, “Holding you, smelling you, even just thinking about you, I can’t help but want to…”

As he said that, he deliberately let Shu Lin feel his already awakened desire.

“You!” Shu Lin was both embarrassed and annoyed, pushing against his chest with his hands, “Brother, this is a hospital! And you haven’t closed your eyes for two days!”

Shao Chengxi grabbed his hand and pressed it against his chest, letting him feel his accelerated heartbeat:

“But it can’t calm down when it sees you, I can’t help it.”

Shu Lin was amused by his rogue-like behavior, so he simply raised his head and bit the Alpha’s chin, coaxing him:

“Brother, sleep for a while first, okay? After you’ve slept well, you can do whatever you want, I won’t run away.”

These words were like a spark of fire, instantly igniting Shao Chengxi.

He held the back of Shu Lin’s head and kissed him heavily.

The kiss carried the intense heat of surviving a disaster, their lips and tongues intertwined, reluctant to part.

“Mmm…” Shu Lin was kissed until he was short of breath, finally struggling free, panting and glaring at him, “I told you to sleep first!”

Shao Chengxi wiped the sheen from the corner of his lips with his thumb, “Okay, I’ll listen to baby, sleep.”

He deliberately emphasized the word “sleep,” his hand sliding down Shu Lin’s spine, suggestively pinching it.

Shu Lin kicked him playfully, his face flushed, but was grabbed by the ankle and pulled into his arms.

Amidst their playful banter, the bed creaked under the strain.

“Stop it…”

Shu Lin gasped and compromised, snuggling into his arms, his fingertips gently caressing the dark circles under his eyes:

“Brother, I’ll sleep with you, and when we wake up, I’ll sleep with you again, okay?”

Shao Chengxi chuckled, finally settling down, holding him tightly.

Shu Lin’s temperature, heartbeat, and breath all told him that his baby, his life, was safe and sound in his arms.

“Baby,” Shao Chengxi suddenly said in the quiet.

“Mm?”

“Don’t take risks again.”

Shu Lin didn’t answer, only raising his head to kiss his Adam’s apple.

The kiss, filled with reassurance, caused Shao Chengxi to tighten his arms.

“I’m serious.” The Alpha’s voice deepened, “To think that you were facing those Alpha military police with blood on their hands alone, I…”

Shu Lin covered his mouth:

“Brother, aren’t I fine now?”

“Even if I did it again, I would still do it.”

Noticing Shao Chengxi’s darkening gaze, he quickly added:

“Okay, okay, I promise you, brother, I won’t do that again unless absolutely necessary, and I’ll be more careful.”

Shao Chengxi stared at him for a long time, let out a long sigh, and buried his face in the crook of his neck, “…You little rascal.”

Outside the window, moonlight quietly climbed onto the windowsill, coating the embracing couple with a layer of soft light.

After this ordeal, their bond seemed to have surpassed even Marking.

After confirming that he had rescued the twenty or so patients, Shu Lin returned to his own life.

The political games, the guidance of public opinion, and the wrangling with the President were no longer things he needed to worry about.

In the days that followed, the political situation changed rapidly, public opinion continued to ferment, and the parliament even established a special investigation team, pointing directly at the Presidential Palace and the military police.

Shu Lin had not appeared in public since returning from Shao’s Hospital, keeping an extremely low profile.

No, to be precise, he had made one public appearance.

He went to Imperial University for class.

It was an 8 AM class, taught by that strict old professor.

Last time, because Vice President Wu Xun had come to the Shao Residence in the middle of the night to defect, Shao Chengxi was overjoyed and woke up the sleeping Shu Lin in the middle of the night, indulging in endless pleasure.

As a result, Shu Lin missed class and was caught by the old professor and marked absent.

If he didn’t go this time, according to the old professor’s rules, he would lose his credits directly.

That day, Shu Lin arrived at Imperial University ten minutes early.

To ensure his safe travel, Shao Chengxi had added four more bodyguards to him.

Now there were a total of eight bodyguards protecting him at all times.

When he left, he even laughed at Shao Chengxi for being overly nervous.

As a result, the moment the car door opened, he was immediately proven wrong.

Shu Lin had expected that his true identity would attract attention once it was exposed, but he hadn’t expected it to be so exaggerated.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, the crowd at the school gate stirred like a disturbed swarm of bees.

“It’s Shu Lin! He really came to class!”

“Oh my god, no wonder he’s a one-in-a-million US-Class Omega, even more beautiful than in the livestream!”

“It wasn’t for nothing that I waited all night, I finally saw him in person.”

“Student Shu, look over here, look over here!”

Flashes of light instantly formed a dazzling white curtain, and Shu Lin instinctively narrowed his eyes.

The eight bodyguards immediately formed a human wall, but reporters still held microphones and tried to reach through the gaps:

“Mr. Shu, what about the follow-up to the military police incident…”

“Make way! Please keep your distance!” The bodyguard captain said sternly, while urgently whispering into his earpiece: “B team, west gate needs reinforcements.”

It turned out that Shao Chengxi had secretly arranged for additional people.

On the outskirts of the crowd, students holding mobile phones and livestreaming pushed and shoved each other.

A bespectacled boy suddenly shouted:

“Shu Lin! My mother is also a victim of the pheromone soundwave incident! Thank you!”

The sound was drowned out by the noise, but Shu Lin still heard it.

He paused slightly, gave a relieved smile in the direction of the voice, and nodded slightly.

This subtle action was immediately noticed, triggering even more frantic photography.

The five-minute walk to the classroom took twenty minutes.

Finally arriving at the classroom, the windows of the corridor were already covered with curious faces.

The scene inside the classroom was even more suffocating.
