MFIMM Chapter 51

New Year

New Year

As the last meal of the year, Lin Xi’s parents were busy from morning till night. He walked into the kitchen, skillfully helping them out.

“Xiao Xi, when did you learn to do these things?” Father Lin looked at Lin Xi with a pained expression, and Mother Lin also looked at Lin Xi suspiciously.

Usually, Lin Xi would run as far away from the kitchen as possible. Now, not only did he offer to help, but he also looked incredibly skilled.

“Xiao Xi, are you being bullied by your roommates?” Mother Lin asked worriedly.

After all, Lin Xi never allowed them to visit him, so Mother Lin had no way of knowing about his living situation.

Lin Xi didn’t expect his offer to help to arouse such suspicion. He patted his parents’ shoulders, “It’s because my roommate is too nice, always cooking for me. I felt embarrassed eating for free, so I helped him out.”

As he spoke, Lin Xi pinched his own face, “Look, I’ve even gained weight.”

Pinching the soft flesh on Lin Xi’s face, Mother Lin was slightly relieved, “You need to be more careful living alone outside. Since your roommate is so good to you, you should think about repaying him, buy him more things.”

“Alright, Mom, the water’s boiling, please stop talking, I know everything.” Lin Xi interrupted his mother’s nagging and pushed her to the front of the pot.

The three of them worked in the kitchen all day, making a large table of dishes. The dishes were basically made according to Lin Xi’s preferences. He ate until he was half full, and when he saw that it was almost time, he greeted his parents.

“Mom and Dad, I’m going out to play with Chen Mingxuan, I might not be back tonight.” Lin Xi put on his coat, changed his shoes, and hurried out the door.

Looking at the message on his phone, Pei Jiashu said he had already arrived at the entrance of their neighborhood.

He ran to the neighborhood, thinking that Pei Jiashu was right at the entrance, his heart actually thinking to run faster, to run even faster, he wanted to see Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu was wearing a black coat, leaning against the gate, looking in the direction of the neighborhood entrance.

Lin Xi saw him at a glance. Their eyes met, and Lin Xi’s pace slowed down instead, but his heavy breathing betrayed him.

This scene was somewhat familiar.

Last time it was also here, Pei Jiashu brought him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate. In the blink of an eye, it had already been almost half a year.

“What are you spacing out for?” Pei Jiashu took a few steps forward, pulled Lin Xi, and stuffed him into the passenger seat.

The air conditioner in the car was on, and as soon as he got in, Lin Xi’s frozen face and hands gradually warmed up.

“Why were you waiting for me outside?” Lin Xi rubbed his hands. It was too cold outside. The cold wind at night was like a knife scraping his face. He didn’t know how long Pei Jiashu had been waiting outside, his fingers were even a little purple.

Pei Jiashu coughed lightly and looked out the window, “The car was too stuffy, I went out to get some air.”

Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu’s hands. Anyway, it was none of his business if Pei Jiashu wanted to freeze.

The car gradually merged into the endless stream of cars, steadily driving towards Pei’s family’s old house. Lin Xi felt a little nervous thinking about meeting Pei Jiashu’s relatives later.

“Do you have a lot of relatives? Will they be very difficult to deal with?” Lin Xi asked.

Pei Jiashu pursed his lips slightly, “My family has quite a few relatives in total, but you don’t have to worry about those people, just follow me.”

Lin Xi nodded.

The car stopped at the old house. This was Lin Xi’s second time here. The old house was decorated with lanterns and streamers, everywhere showing the atmosphere of the festival. Standing at the door, you could hear the lively sounds inside.

Pei Jiashu reached out to Lin Xi, and the two of them walked in hand in hand.

The long table that Lin Xi saw last time was now filled with people. Hearing the sound at the door, they all looked up.

Lin Xi’s hand tightened, and he was inexplicably nervous. Pei Jiashu squeezed his hand, seemingly to comfort him.

Pei Yuebin was sitting in the main seat, his eyebrows and eyes similar to Pei Jiashu’s, but at this time were full of displeasure, “You are really spoiled by me, actually making so many elders wait for you.”

In front of so many relatives, Pei Yuebin actually started by criticizing. Lin Xi was about to explain to Pei Jiashu, but Pei Jiashu pulled him, not letting him speak.

“It won’t happen next time.” Pei Jiashu said coldly.

He led Lin Xi to sit at the table. The other relatives hadn’t seen Lin Xi before and were sizing him up. Lin Xi generously let them look.

“Oh, this is the boss’s wife, she’s quite pretty.”

“After all, she’s some kind of internet celebrity, making a living off her face.” That person sneered, clearly disdainful of Lin Xi’s profession.

Lin Xi’s temper flared up and he wanted to retort, but thinking that these were Pei Jiashu’s relatives, he still forced himself to remain silent.

Pei Jiashu poured a cup of tea for Lin Xi, but his eyes were on the relative who had just spoken, “Yes, our Xiao Xi is not only beautiful but also capable. I’m so lucky to have married him.”

As soon as Pei Jiashu spoke, those people didn’t dare to say anything.

But some people turned to talk about other people, “When we were kids, we joked about setting up a marriage for Jiashu with the young master of the Liang family. Recently, he also entered their company’s management, I heard he’s very capable.”

“The Liang family only has this one son, right?”

“Yes, just this one omega.” His tone was a bit regretful. If Pei Jiashu married Liang Siqi, then the Liang and Pei families would cooperate, who knows how much more dividends they could have in a year.

Pei Jiashu took a sip of tea lightly, “I remember that Second Uncle’s family also has a cousin who is two years older than me. You guys like Liang Siqi so much, why don’t you let your cousin marry Siqi?”

“Enough.” Pei Yuebin, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke, “Now that everyone is here, let’s serve the dishes.”

Lin Xi was already half full at home, and now he could barely eat a little, but Pei Jiashu, this guy, insisted on pretending to be affectionate in front of others and kept picking food for him.

Although he only picked one chopstick of each dish, so many dishes together almost piled the bowl into a small mountain.

Lin Xi tugged at the hem of Pei Jiashu’s clothes and whispered in his ear, “Don’t pick anymore, I really can’t eat anymore.”

Pei Jiashu looked at the food in Lin Xi’s bowl. He just wanted Lin Xi to try the dishes made by the family’s chef, after all, the opportunity was rare, and he wanted Lin Xi to try everything, but he didn’t expect to pick so much.

“If you don’t want to eat it, give it to me.” Pei Jiashu said to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi thought Pei Jiashu would let him leave it, but now that Pei Jiashu said that, he could only give the food in his bowl to Pei Jiashu.

Although they often ate together, they had never eaten food from each other’s bowls like this before.

Lin Xi’s face flushed slightly, this was too ambiguous.

These kinds of dinners always have alcohol. Pei Yuebin even took out his own treasured red wine. All the wine that others toasted to Lin Xi was blocked by Pei Jiashu. Back and forth, he drank a lot.

After getting drunk, the alpha casually released his pheromones. The pheromones of the alphas in the living room mixed with the smell of alcohol and food, making Lin Xi want to vomit.

Pei Jiashu almost immediately realized something and turned to look at Lin Xi.

Suppressing his anger, he said to the housekeeper, “Uncle Li, Second Uncle is drunk, please take him to the guest room.”

Lin Xi shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.

But Pei Jiashu still took him back to the room under the pretext that Lin Xi was drunk. Lin Xi didn’t pretend and said to Pei Jiashu, “I’m having an allergic reaction, I want your pheromones.”

Overwhelming pheromones pressed down on Lin Xi with this sentence, the concentration so high that Lin Xi almost went weak in the knees and knelt down directly.

Pei Jiashu pressed his forehead and grabbed Lin Xi’s waist to lift him up.

“I’m sorry, I might be a little drunk, otherwise, you can just bite my gland.” Pei Jiashu turned his face and exposed the gland behind his ear in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi’s allergy was not that serious, but when he saw Pei Jiashu’s gland, he couldn’t resist the temptation and bit Pei Jiashu.

Practice makes perfect. Lin Xi’s bite this time was fast, accurate, and ruthless. He even licked Pei Jiashu’s gland after biting, hooking all the blood threads on it into his mouth.

However, Pei Jiashu’s condition this time was not very good. He leaned on the bookshelf behind him to avoid falling.

“Are you okay?” Lin Xi hugged Pei Jiashu, supporting him with his body.

Pei Jiashu turned to ask him instead, “Are you feeling better?”

Lin Xi regretted not resisting the temptation, “You just need to give me pheromones, you don’t need me to bite your gland.”

Pei Jiashu rubbed Lin Xi’s hair, “Did I scare you? I just drank a little too much wine just now. You don’t need to take what my relatives said to heart either, they are a bunch of profit-seeking people. If they can’t get anything from me, they want to ridicule you.”

“I won’t take their words to heart, but…” Lin Xi thought of Pei Yuebin’s attitude towards Pei Jiashu again. They were clearly father and son, but Pei Yuebin seemed to only have endless blame for Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu took out a band-aid and simply covered the tooth mark, “I still have to go down and take a look. If you’re tired, rest first, I’ll send you back tomorrow morning.”

Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu hesitantly, until Pei Jiashu was about to walk out of the room, he grabbed Pei Jiashu’s sleeve and asked, “Can’t you just stay in the room?”

“Those relatives haven’t left yet. I have to see them all off before I can come up. Be good, go to sleep first.”

Lin Xi still didn’t catch Pei Jiashu.

He looked at Pei Jiashu’s condition and felt that something was not quite right with Pei Jiashu.

It was already late at night when Pei Jiashu came back, bringing a chill with him. Lin Xi subconsciously approached him, but shivered from the cold, and still hugged Pei Jiashu’s waist, rubbing him, wanting to warm Pei Jiashu up with his own body temperature.

Pei Jiashu looked at Lin Xi by the light in the room, restraining those twisted thoughts in his heart again and again, carefully hugging Lin Xi.

Pei Jiashu could feel that his estrus period was approaching, and his control over pheromones was getting lower and lower, especially when he saw Lin Xi, he couldn’t help but want to mark him directly.

He should send Lin Xi away tomorrow and go home by himself.

Early in the morning, Pei Jiashu drove Lin Xi back, mainly because Lin Xi’s mother had been urging him to ask about him. Fortunately, Lin Xi had discussed it with Chen Mingxuan in advance, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to explain.

“Then I’m going back to my house, what about you?” Lin Xi asked Pei Jiashu.

“Of course I’m going out to have fun with my friends.”

“Okay, then I wish you have fun.”
