IM Chapter 9

Not long after Yu Xingqiao left, he closed the cat cafe. He also took out the trash from the store and threw it in the trash can by the side of the road, then turned around and walked home.

When he got home, the door was still locked, and no one was home.

Shen ChiTai first changed his shoes at the entrance, carried the groceries in his hand into the kitchen, and placed them on the table. He sat in the living room for a while, checked the time, and then got up to cook.

Usually, when he wasn’t in a hurry, he liked to cook at home himself. The hot water flowing from the faucet ‘Wow’ poured onto the back of his hand, and a faint sound of footsteps came from behind him.

He turned his head to look at Shang Jue, who was standing behind him at some point, his eyes slightly surprised, “A Jue, how come you didn’t make a sound when you came back?”

Shang Jue walked over and glanced at the dishes on the kitchen counter, “What dishes is gege preparing to cook?”

Shen ChiTai quickly withdrew his gaze from his face, “Didn’t you want to eat braised beef brisket with potatoes? When I passed by the supermarket, I bought two pounds of beef brisket.”

A hint of joy flashed across Shang Jue’s eyes, “I just said it casually, I didn’t expect gege to actually remember.”

Shen ChiTai’s expression was a little awkward, and he murmured softly, “How could I forget what you said.”

Shang Jue suddenly hugged him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder like he was acting spoiled, wrapping his arms around the omega’s waist and tightening his grip.

Shen ChiTai’s body stiffened slightly, and his hand movements also became noticeably stiff, his body as if it wouldn’t listen to his commands.

“I’m so tired from work, and today I accompanied dad to sign a contract.” The other party wasn’t a good person either, I heard that the Shang family has a big son who is an omega, and they have been hinting at things that made him want to kill them.

Shen ChiTai quickly smiled, “Congratulations, then I’ll make two more dishes today to reward you.”

“That’s a reward for little kids, I don’t want that kind of reward.” The alpha drooped his head, bent over slightly, and the weight of his body was almost entirely on the omega’s body.

Shen ChiTai forcibly steadied the trace of panic in his eyes, turned his head slightly, and asked him softly, “Then what do you want?”

“There’s a lot that I want, but I’m not greedy.” He rubbed his face against Shen ChiTai’s neck, and his lips slowly moved, pausing slightly at the omega’s gland, “I want gege to give me a chance for a temporary marking, is that okay?”

“Of course not!” Shen ChiTai subconsciously twisted his neck, avoiding his touch, his speed of speech unconsciously quickening, “This is not a joke.”

He actually said something about a temporary marking.

“I know gege’s worries, it’s just a temporary marking, it will be cleared soon, and it won’t have any impact on gege.”

“That won’t do either!” Shen ChiTai sternly rejected his absurd proposal.

Marking is such an important thing, it can only be done with someone you like. Affection and love are two different things, how can they be confused?

“Gege, we are family, I have you in me, and you have me in you, we originally belong to each other. It’s just a temporary marking, nothing will happen.” Shang Jue whispered in his ear, “As long as you don’t say it, and I don’t say it, once the marking is cleared, it will be like nothing happened, no one will know. Since childhood, no matter what I do, gege will patiently teach me with meticulous care. Gege, I want you to teach me how to mark an omega.”

“But I’m your gege…” Shen ChiTai’s voice carried a hint of helplessness and struggle.

“It’s just a temporary marking, gege doesn’t have to bear too much pressure.”

“This is simply nonsense!” The omega didn’t allow it, “This kind of thing can only be done with someone you like. Marking your own omega is an alpha’s instinct, there’s no need for me to teach you step by step.”

“…Gege.” Shang Jue’s voice suddenly weakened, aggrieved, seemingly taking a step back, but in reality, it was step by step closer, “If I’m obedient, can gege reward me?”

Shen ChiTai bit his teeth tightly, refusing to speak.

He didn’t dare to speak, no one knew himself better than he did, as long as he opened his mouth again, according to his personality, he would definitely hesitate, even step back, giving the other party a chance to press closer.

“Gege, I want to hear your answer.”

“Next time, can we do it next time?” Shen ChiTai murmured softly, “Let me take it slow first.”

Shang Jue chuckled, “Then we have a deal.” The alpha’s lips touched the area around his gland, “Next time, I want to bite through this place on gege, and inject my pheromones.”

Shen ChiTai now just wanted to end this topic quickly.

The omega nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Shang Jue lowered his head and bit his earlobe, Shen ChiTai’s ear softened, and his face turned completely red.

A trace of romantic, filthy, and dirty thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, breaking through the bottom line that only lovers could touch with his younger brother, letting the other party completely possess him.

The moment this terrifying idea suddenly popped up, he was also startled, suddenly waking up. How could he have such an idea, this was clearly wrong, if Shang Jue knew, the alpha might despise him.

This didn’t seem like a bad thing for him, at least A Jue wouldn’t cling to him like this in the future.

Shang Jue was kissing him, the man’s lips lightly touched the back of his neck, and then carefully kissed the side of his neck. One hand reached up his clothes restlessly, trying to grope upwards.

He prided himself on not being a pure and desireless omega, he would have the reactions that ordinary people had.

Xu Chen never messed around without his permission, so in the two years they had been together, the two of them at most held hands, kissing each other was a luxurious behavior, and then there was no follow-up.

“A…A Jue…” The omega bit his pale lower lip, “No…”

Shang Jue’s hand reached a place on him that resembled a granular protrusion, Shen ChiTai didn’t dare to turn his head to look into his eyes, the alpha’s pheromones, which belonged only to him, overflowed as if out of control.

The omega’s legs weakened, and his whole body seemed to have lost strength, and he could only barely support his legs and lean on him to stand firm.

His voice was trembling, his breathing was rapid, and the rhythm was chaotic, and he could only vaguely make some discordant sounds.

Shen ChiTai desperately covered his mouth with his hands, trying not to let himself make a sound, but his already red face was like a thin layer of blush after being drunk, beautiful beyond words.

The oil in the pot was smoking, and the omega reacted quickly, pushed the other party away, stepped forward two steps to turn off the fire, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as for why, he himself couldn’t say.

Shang Jue stood in front of the omega, watching the man who was a little anxious to cover up something, and silently curled his lips and smiled.

After the two had dinner together, Shen ChiTai made an excuse about having something to do at the cat cafe and fled in a panic. Shang Jue knew that he was deliberately trying to avoid him, and wasn’t in a hurry to chase after him, giving him some time to calm down.

Shen ChiTai was in a daze all day, and he was also absent-minded when doing things, sometimes distracted. He suspected that he must be sick, but in his situation, even if he went to the hospital, he wouldn’t be able to say what was wrong.

He just spent the day in a daze, and Xu Chen sent him a message after class. Shen ChiTai looked at the two messages that the other party had sent him in succession, and there was always an unspeakable strangeness in his heart.

If this person was Xu Chen, maybe he wouldn’t be so troubled. He thought to himself, and felt that he was sorry for Xu Chen, even if the other party made some excessive request this time, he couldn’t bear to reject the beta again.

He was just about to put his phone away when the phone, which was already turned off, suddenly lit up again.

Shen ChiTai’s pupils trembled slightly when he saw the caller ID.

He hesitated for a long time, thinking about countless consequences of not answering the phone, and finally answered the phone. Avoiding the problem won’t solve it, and it will make the other party think too much.
