Chapter 67: Just Once

Shu Lin thought, the penetrating power of this pheromone is quite strong.

It seems that Shao Chengxi’s Omega colleague is an S-Class Omega.

To be an S-Class Omega who can attend presidential meetings is truly remarkable.

A trace of admiration welled up in his heart.

As Shao Chengxi took off his shirt, his well-built chest was exposed to the air. Inadvertently, Shu Lin touched his powerful pectoral muscles and couldn’t help but swallow.

Shao Chengxi, who had been obediently cooperating, suddenly pulled him into his arms, and started saying those words again:

“Eat you bit by bit…”

Shu Lin was speechless.

Saying he wanted to eat him bit by bit, he probably just drank alcohol at the banquet and didn’t eat anything.

He had seen Shao Chengxi’s appetite, it would be strange if he wasn’t hungry.

If he was too hungry to sleep later, Shu Lin planned to go downstairs to find him something to eat.

After taking a shower, Shu Lin felt like he was really going to be eaten by Shao Chengxi.

Too tired to put on pajamas, Shu Lin helped Shao Chengxi lie down on the bed, dried his and his own hair, and finally lay down on the bed.

The Shao Chengxi beside him also calmed down, instinctively wrapped Shu Lin in his arms, and fell asleep.

Shu Lin buried his head in the hollow of his neck and exhaled slowly.

Ah… so tired.

Suddenly, his breath caught, and his face turned pale instantly.

He smelled the orange-flavored Omega pheromones on Shao Chengxi again.

Before Shao Chengxi took a bath, smelling this scent from his clothes could be attributed to accidentally getting the pheromones of an Omega colleague.

But now, he had showered Shao Chengxi, and the Omega’s pheromone scent was still there.

An Alpha can only have skin-to-skin contact with an Omega for the other’s pheromone scent to remain even after showering.

Shu Lin felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, making him feel cold from head to toe, and his whole body couldn’t stop trembling.

A cruel reality was laid before him.

Shao Chengxi had slept with another Omega.

More than once, during the meeting and at the banquet today as well.

But how could he?

How could he?

Shao Chengxi’s warm breath pulled the boy back from the ice cave a bit.

His body was stiff, his eyes were empty, and his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, as if he were about to suffocate, gasping for breath.

The large hand unconsciously tightened around his waist, stinging the boy.

The boy pulled away that hand, turned over and fled the embrace that imprisoned him, hid by the bed, with his back to the owner of that embrace.

His fingers clenched the corner of the quilt tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

That cold feeling had not disappeared, as if it had spread from the bottom of his heart to all his limbs, freezing him and making it difficult to breathe.

He wanted to wake Shao Chengxi immediately and question him, why he was unfaithful to him.

He said that he didn’t want to have an underground relationship, wanted to marry him, and also said that during the marriage, he would maintain the loyalty of an Alpha partner.

And he also demanded the same of him.

They had only been together for half a year, and he had already slept with another Omega.

No, no, no.

Maybe he had slept with that person before they even got married.

But, why?

Since he already had another Omega in his heart, why did he agree to him?

In order to save his father and sister, at that time, he was willing to be Shao Chengxi’s mistress.

Even if Shao Chengxi had other Omegas around, he could accept it.

He would dutifully be Shao Chengxi’s tool for venting.

Because, at that time, the transaction was just a transaction, without any feelings.

But, now it’s different.

He had just told his grandfather that he liked his Alpha.

During the half year he spent with him, he thought that the other person wasn’t just treating him as a tool, there was something like liking in it.

Now it seemed that it was all his delusion.

The boy stared at the wall opposite him with wide eyes, looking lost.

What exactly is liking?

Is the emotional world of the rich all about playing along?

But why?

Why play along?

Their transaction came first, Shu Lin knew he was a tool.

If Shao Chengxi just wanted to treat him as a tool, there was no need to play along in front of him and make him have illusions.

That would be simpler.

He just needed to abide by the agreement and be his tool.

But he had told the Shao family that he liked his Alpha.

The boy’s heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, hurting so much that he couldn’t breathe.

He suddenly sat up from the bed, ran barefoot into the bathroom, leaned against the bathroom door, slid to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried.

Tears gushed from between his fingers.

The boy’s shoulders trembled violently, and suppressed sobs echoed in the bathroom.

What should he do?

His mind was in chaos, countless thoughts intertwined in his mind, but he couldn’t find a way out.

The boy’s pure world was stirred into a complete mess by the complexity and filth of adults.

Returning to the bedroom again, his gaze fell on the still sleeping Shao Chengxi.

He mechanically pulled back the corner of the quilt, got into bed, curled up with his back to Shao Chengxi, and lay in a corner.

Shu Lin didn’t close his eyes all night.

He curled up in the corner of the bed, his body as stiff as a stone.

Next to his ear was Shao Chengxi’s steady breathing, a sound that once made him feel at ease, but now it was like thin needles, stabbing his heart with pain.

As soon as dawn broke, he got out of bed to wash up, dressed neatly, glanced at the sleeping Shao Chengxi, and turned to leave the bedroom.

In the living room, he ran into the old butler who was busy preparing breakfast for the Shao family, greeted him, and left the Shao Residence.

In the spring when it was warm and cold, the morning wind was very cold, blowing his cheeks painfully.

He didn’t go anywhere else, he went straight back to the Shu family.

When the doorbell rang, Shu Lingxiao was about to leave for work, and was surprised to see Shu Lin coming back early in the morning:

“Xiao Lin? What’s wrong, what happened?”

Shu Jingcheng heard this and ran out of the kitchen. Seeing his precious son whom he hadn’t seen for almost a week, he quickly went over and pulled him to sit down in the living room.

Noticing his son’s unusual behavior and his dull face, he put his hands tightly on his shoulders, Shu Jingcheng asked urgently:

“Your complexion is so bad, Xiao Lin, what exactly happened? Tell Daddy quickly.”

Shu Lin pursed his lips tightly, his mouth turned down, tears welled up in his eyes, trying hard to hold back.

His gaze moved from Shu Lingxiao’s concerned face to Shu Jingcheng’s distressed eyes, and his psychological defenses instantly collapsed, and he burst into tears with a “wah.”

“Dad, Sis, I want to be an ungrateful person just once. Can I be that kind of person just once? Just once, once, can I?”
