Chapter 57: The Awful Alpha

Shu Lin noticed that Shao Chengxi was on the verge of losing control.

He was changing too fast; Shu Lin’s pheromone release couldn’t keep up.

Shao Chengxi was radiating a fierce aura. Shu Lin felt a little afraid, futilely reaching for his hand:

“Shao Chengxi, just wait a little longer, it’ll be quick. My dad said my pheromones can…”

As if he found him annoying, Shao Chengxi covered his lips.

Enveloped in Shao Chengxi’s embrace, Shu Lin couldn’t worry about anything else and could only desperately release his pheromones.

An ominous premonition washed over him.

His intuition told him that Shao Chengxi was about to enter his rut.

Irreversibly.

The current situation was critical and complex, and he could only rely on himself; no one else could help him.

He knew that high stakes were involved, concerning Shao Chengxi’s future and the entire Shao family.

As well as his sister and the Shu family.

Now, whether his mental state could handle it was irrelevant.

Regardless of how he had married Shao Chengxi, he was already a member of the Shao family.

Bound together in honor and disgrace.

Shu Lin suddenly woke up.

He had never experienced Shao Chengxi’s words to him so viscerally as he did now.

From the moment they married, they were one entity.

Shu Lin knew he had to do something to prevent the situation from developing in the worst possible direction.

Now, Shao Chengxi could only rely on him.

Shu Lin gritted his teeth, searching around, trying to find a viable solution.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Shao Chengxi, and he froze.

Just as Shao Chengxi was about to lose control, he risked everything in one last gamble.

Instantly, Shao Chengxi and he, as if under a spell, were frozen in place.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Shao Chengxi moved first.

He slowly released Shu Lin from his embrace, his eyes shifting from confusion to doubt, and then gradually clearing up.

Shu Lin’s chest rose and fell sharply as he met his gaze.

Sensing something was amiss, Shao Chengxi raised his hand.

Immediately, both of their eyes widened.

How was this possible?

Could this be an unknown special ability of a US-Class Omega?

US-Class Omegas were too rare. After differentiation, for self-protection and to prevent being harmed by Alphas with ulterior motives, they almost always lived under hidden identities.

In practice, medical research about them was minimal, and relevant records were even harder to find.

Even if there were records, they appeared in the form of common Omegas and were impossible to distinguish.

However, no record didn’t mean it didn’t exist.

Wasn’t it happening right now?

Anyway, Shao Chengxi felt that nothing was unreasonable when it came to things happening to Shu Lin.

Now, he had regained consciousness.

Realizing that he had almost entered his rut just now, his back went numb.

If that had really happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The fourth day of the Presidential Palace meeting was too important. If he had really entered his rut, it would have undone all of the Shao family’s prior efforts.

Shao Chengxi held Shu Lin tightly, as if he were a precious treasure, “I just now… I’m sorry, baby, I scared you, I’m sorry…”

That was close.

If it weren’t for Shu Lin…

Luckily, luckily he had Shu Lin.

Knowing that the crisis had been averted, they both exhaled heavily.

Shu Lin relaxed, thinking that Shao Chengxi would finally calm down.

However, to his utter surprise, the matter wasn’t over yet.

Shao Chengxi hadn’t entered his rut, but the reactions of the pre-rut symptoms remained.

Moreover, they were changing their form.

Although he wasn’t touching Shu Lin anymore, he was clingy to an outrageous extent.

“Baby, I want to hear you call me husband. Be good, just say it once.” He started coaxing Shu Lin again.

Shu Lin bit his lip, remaining silent.

“Just say it once, just once, and I’ll get out of the car and go to work, okay, baby?”

“Baby, be good, call me husband…”

Shu Lin finally surrendered, softly calling out: “…Hu…husband…”

Hearing this, Shao Chengxi cupped his face in his hands, overjoyed, “Baby, say it again, say it again, call me husband.”

Shu Lin completely gave up resisting and obediently complied, “Hu…husband.”

“I still want to hear it.”

“Husband…”

“Husband, husband, husband!”

This wasn’t the end of it.

Shao Chengxi had new demands:

“Baby, actually, sometimes I also want to hear you call me ‘brother’. Can you call me ‘brother’ once?”

Shu Lin: “…”

Was there no end to this? He was about to collapse.

“Just once. You’ve already called me ‘husband,’ why can’t you call me ‘brother’? Besides, I’m older than you anyway; I *am* your brother. You won’t lose anything by calling me that. Be good, just say it.”

Shu Lin simply let himself go.

“Brother, good brother.”

“Aww, now say ‘husband’ again.”

“Husband, good husband.”

“Baby, say ‘brother’ again.”

“Brother, husband.”

“Husband, brother.”

“Husband-brother.”

“Brother-husband.”

…

Shu Lin called him whatever he wanted.

After letting go, Shu Lin discovered that he could fly over any mountain.

As long as that awful Alpha would calm down, he would call him anything.
