    Chapter 77: Didn’t Your Baby Give You a Hug?

    Shao Chengxi couldn’t sleep all night.

    The side effects of the high-potency inhibitor came earlier than he expected.

    During the day, other things diverted his attention, so the feeling wasn’t as obvious. Now that he was idle, he was in unbearable pain all over his body.

    It felt like countless fine needles were pricking him all over, and there seemed to be fire burning in his bones.

    He clenched his teeth, fine beads of cold sweat seeping out on his forehead, his hands twisting and gripping, veins bulging.

    This kind of pain was not unfamiliar to him, but this time it seemed particularly unbearable.

    He gazed at the sleeping Shu Lin on the bed, a wave of tenderness washing over him.

    Shu Lin’s breathing was steady, his cheeks flushed a faint red from sleep, his long eyelashes thick and upturned, casting a shadow under his eyes.

    He looked extremely sweet.

    Shao Chengxi knew that as long as he woke Shu Lin and had him release a little pheromone, his pain would be greatly relieved.

    However, he couldn’t bear to.

    From last night until today, his little Omega had experienced too much. If he wasn’t physically and mentally exhausted, he wouldn’t have cried and fainted.

    Let him sleep well.

    If he really woke him up, he wouldn’t be able to sleep this night either.

    Clenching his teeth, he reached out and gently stroked Shu Lin’s cheek, his fingertips lightly caressing his skin, as if touching a precious treasure.

    Shao Chengxi’s eyes were full of infatuation and tenderness, and an unspeakable emotion welled up in his heart.

    Remembering Shu Lin’s aggrieved look as he cried and called him a scumbag, he couldn’t help but laugh.

    How could there be such a cute little fellow in the world? Even his scolding sounded like a spoiled brat.

    Thinking of this, Shao Chengxi felt both distressed and joyful.

    So, his little Omega cared about him.

    Shao Chengxi leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Shu Lin’s forehead, his voice so low it was almost inaudible:

    “Baby, actually, from the first moment I saw you, I was moved by you. It was love at first sight.”

    During the long, torturous night, Shao Chengxi finally found something to divert his attention.

    Last night, Shu Lin went shopping with Shao Tingrui and Shao Yuqin, and the things they bought hadn’t had time to be sorted out, so they were piled up in their bedroom.

    Shao Chengxi began to sort out these things for Shu Lin.

    So many limited edition sneakers.

    So his baby likes to collect shoes.

    Okay, noted. He’ll pay attention for him in the future and buy them for him when new ones come out.

    Huh?

    The size of these shoes is obviously not Shu Lin’s, nor were they bought for him.

    Thinking of the coat Shu Lin was wearing when he came back, and seeing these shoes that were obviously bought for someone else, Shao Chengxi felt a little intrigued.

    He stared at the shoes for a while, but still put them down.

    He’ll find a chance to ask Shu Lin about it tomorrow.

    There were many other things inside, and you could tell that some were gifts for other people.

    He wondered if there was anything in here for him?

    Come to think of it, he hadn’t even given his Omega a gift in the six months they had been together.

    How terrible!

    Shao Chengxi immediately felt remorseful.

    As an Alpha with an Omega, he was really derelict in his duty.

    After seriously reflecting on his shortcomings, Shao Chengxi decided to take immediate action.

    Before dawn, he heard movement downstairs.

    This was the time when the old butler directed the servants to prepare breakfast.

    Shao Chengxi changed his clothes and went downstairs.

    Although he hadn’t slept all night, he was in good spirits.

    His appearance in the kitchen really startled the old butler and the cook.

    When they heard that he wanted to prepare breakfast for his Omega, the mouths of the people in the kitchen were so wide open that they could stuff in an egg.

    The old butler tentatively asked, “Second Young Master, did you drink again last night? Didn’t your baby give you a hug, so you had insomnia?”

    Shao Chengxi: “…”

    What nonsense was this?

    Unexpectedly, Shao Chengxi could make breakfast, and he made it very well.

    Crystal shrimp dumplings, crab roe buns, beef potstickers, seafood udon noodles, vegetable porridge…

    Quite a variety.

    Shao Chengxi had learned these in the army.

    He just never had the chance to make them.

    By the time breakfast was ready, it was already dawn.

    When Shu Lin woke up, the room was filled with sunlight.

    He rubbed his eyes and was about to stay in bed for a while longer when the bedroom door suddenly opened from the outside.

    Under Shao Chengxi’s direction, the servants brought in the sumptuous breakfast one by one.

    Shu Lin clutched the corner of the quilt with both hands, looking at the scene before him, his stomach instantly grumbling uncontrollably, and his mouth watered.

    He had originally wanted to get up immediately, but suddenly remembered that Shao Chengxi’s affair hadn’t been resolved yet, and he felt angry.

    He turned over, turned his back to Shao Chengxi, and puffed up with anger, ignoring him.

    Shao Chengxi saw all these little actions of his and only found them extremely cute, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

    Shao Chengxi walked to the bed, hugged him and the quilt together, kissed Shu Lin’s ear, and coaxed softly:

    “Baby, are you awake? Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready, made by your husband himself, there are crystal shrimp dumplings, crab roe buns, potstickers, and seafood udon noodles, be good, get up and eat breakfast first.”

    Shu Lin struggled a few times in anger, “Hmph! I don’t want you to be my husband, and I don’t care about the breakfast you made, I won’t eat it, take it away.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, a clear gurgling sound came from the quilt.

    Shu Lin: “…”

    He covered his unpromising stomach, his little face wrinkled into a ball.

    Hmph, he has integrity, even if he starves to death, he will not eat breakfast made by someone who is unfaithful in love.

    He won’t eat it, definitely won’t eat it.

    Knowing that Shu Lin was still being temperamental, Shao Chengxi tugged at his flushed ears and chuckled:

    “Baby, don’t be angry, okay? Get up, your husband has something to tell you.”

    Shu Lin shook off his hand, buried his head back into the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: “I won’t listen, go away.”

    Shao Chengxi continued to coax him, “Baby, please, just listen, it’s not too late to be angry after you listen to me, okay?”

    Shu Lin still ignored him.

    Shao Chengxi smiled evilly, let go of him, got up, walked to the end of the bed, lifted the quilt, and crawled in from under Shu Lin’s feet.

    Immediately, there was a burst of playfulness from the quilt.

    “Shao Chengxi, you, you are not allowed to come in, go out, go out…”

    “Baby, listen to me, I was wronged, I really didn’t touch other Omegas…”

    “Liar, I won’t smell it wrong, you definitely have…”

    “That’s sonic pheromone, it’s fake. Someone used it to attack me, wanting to control me, the orange-flavored pheromone you smelled is sonic pheromone.”

    The quilt suddenly became quiet.

    After a while, Shu Lin poked his little head out of the quilt, turned to look at Shao Chengxi who was hugging him from behind, his eyes filled with suspicion: “Really?”

    Shao Chengxi nodded, “Really. I’m not lying to you, if you don’t believe me, you can ask your sister, I also have a test report here, take a look.”

    Shu Lin sat up straight, “Quick, bring it to me and let me see.”

    Shao Chengxi reached out and took the test report from the bedside table and handed it to Shu Lin.

    Noticing that he had read it over and over again several times, Shao Chengxi took the opportunity to kiss his cheek, hugged him in his arms, and said softly:

    “See clearly? Now you finally believe that I was wronged, right? Baby, believe me, there is only you in my heart, and I will never betray you.”

    He hadn’t heard Shu Lin’s response for a long time, and Shao Chengxi was puzzled.

    He gently pushed him away from his arms a little, and in the second he met his eyes, Shu Lin pursed his lips and burst into tears.
