The alpha sat sullenly next him, staring out the window without saying anything.
One by one, the streetlights passed, casting a fluttering glow over the man’s torso that revealed a discreet flush to his neck.
“Officer Yu?” Nie Zihang leaned over and called to him. “Are you angry?”
He got ignored.
He kept calling, “Officer Yu.”
“Officer Yu, Officer Xiao Yu?”
“Officer Xiao Yu?”
”Yuyu?”
The alpha’s fur successfully erupted when he spoke the last moniker, and the crimson hue that had just spilled on his neck crept deeper.
“Stop talking.”
Nie Zihang grinned and extended his palms to him. “Officer Yu still hasn’t given the recording pen back.”
As though covering the bubonic plague, the alpha slammed his hand over the palm holding the pen.
Then he retreated like a snail.
Nie Zihang returned the pen to his pocket quietly, the alpha’s pheromone lingering on his fingertips.
The two got out of the car when they arrived at Fenghua Residence. Before leaving, the driver opened the car window and told Yu Jingxuan, “As an alpha, just do it. Don’t be the guy who watches his wife leave him and then feels guilty.”
Then he vanished without a trace.
Yu Jingxuan opened the payment software and asked, “How much is the taxi fare? I’ll transfer it to you through Fashion.”
Nie Zihang casually waved his hands. “It’s only a few yuan; there’s no need to repay me. Since our houses are the same way, I’ll still pay that much even if you weren’t with me. Go home, I’m going back too. “
After he was done talking, he opened the food delivery app to see what was available in his area.
Mala Hotpot is far too spicy.
Sichuan cuisine? Hunan? It’s even spicier…
Or, I could eat Jiang Zhe.
He entered a Jiangsu-Zhejiang restaurant, saw the menu above, but refused to order it.
When the number of restaurants in the takeaway area had fallen to roughly twenty and the phone’s owner still hadn’t made up his mind, the person standing next to him added unexpectedly, “Or you can come to my house to eat. It’s boring and tasteless to eat takeaway every day. I went out at noon and made lotus root pork rib soup. I could also fry two dishes, just enough for us to eat. “
Nie Zihang came to a halt as his finger glided across the screen.
He remembered how Yu Jingxuan’s alpha friend had gotten drunk earlier that night at the barbecue spot and boasted that their family’s Yuyu was capable of handling housework and cooking and was a good wife who was a difficult find.

The third structure is reached by continuing straight along the main road.
Yu Jingxuan used the key to unlock the door. The kitchen was filled with the sound of boiling water and a strong odour of beef.
“The soup I cooked took a long time to cook. There should be roughly ten minutes left. There is warm water on the table. The upside-down cups have just been washed, so use them as you please,” he explained.
In awe of the pristine marble beneath his feet, Nie Zihang hesitated before taking a step. “Do I need to change shoes?”
Yu Jingxuan had cleaned the room so well that Nie Zihang was afraid that the germs on his body would discolour the furnishings.
It was the first time he had seen such a clean alpha.
In his mind, alphas were the carefree type who didn’t sweat the small stuff. The stench of pheromones and stinky socks would pervade their homes, causing people to lose their mind.
Unlike his residence, which was cleaned by hired housekeepers, Yu Jingxuan’s place had a more pleasant scent of meat and newly washed acacia combined with a slight aroma of orchids.
It also had a stronger odour of smoke.
The alpha wasn’t concerned, and when he heard him question, he shook his head indifferently. “No need, I don’t have any extra slippers at home; just come in. Anyway, I’ll be wiping the floor before going to bed, so it won’t matter.”
Then he quickly said, “I’ll keep cooking. It will be ready soon.”
He entered the kitchen.
Nie Zihang sat alone at the dining table, listening to the splashing water in the kitchen as well as the tinkling and bustling sounds.
He was about to roll up his sleeves and step in to help when he heard a ding sound from the corner, only to realise it was Yu Jingxuan’s cell phone, which was placed in the opposite corner of the dining table.
Someone sent a message. It was displayed on the lock screen:
[How about this time, Xiao Yu? That’s the thing with alphas. Stop putting yourself through unnecessary pain and try something else if this doesn’t work. Don’t complicate matters for yourself.]
[I have an alpha comrade-in-arms here. He’s also into alphas. I’ve been on missions recently, but I’ll be back from vacation next week. Would you like to meet him? If you feel like it. What’s more, he came from the army, so he is absolutely loyal, and he is not so easily influenced by pheromones.]
Nie Zihang looked at those few lines of messages and fell into thought.
He was also heartbroken because his partner had cheated on him. Yu Jingxuan’s friend said he’d introduce him to an alpha who was more reliable.
He reflected on his own friend…who instead advised him to go out and have an affair, not to fall in love, and that if there was no result, it would be best to simply roll out of their bed.
Was it his problem, or his friend’s problem?
-
The beeping of the rice cooker sounded in the kitchen. The alpha had already cooked rice.
Then there was the sound of splashing water again, mixed with the sound of chopping vegetables.
Nie Zihang got up and walked to the entrance of the kitchen.
The alpha, who had already changed into home clothes, was cutting a loofah.
His knife skills were fast and sublime.
Looking at the busy people in front of the stove, an inappropriate voice suddenly came out of Nie Zihang’s head: It would be great if he wasn’t gay.
It would have been fine if he wasn’t into alphas.
Even if Yu Jingxuan was a beta, he’d be willing to give it a try… But he’s an alpha.
Nie Zihang habitually touched the cigarette in his pocket, but when he saw the person in front of the stove, he held back.
He probably wouldn’t like it.
Yu Jingxuan was pouring oil into the pan, preparing to stir-fry. Seeing Nie Zihang approaching from the corner of his eye, he turned around and asked him, “Why are you here?”
The man suppressed the emotion in his eyes and leaned casually at the door. “See if there’s anything I can help you with.”
Yu Jingxuan waved his hand. “No need, my kitchen is small, so there’s no space for you to squeeze in. I’m about to cook, and there’s a lot of oily smoke. Please close the kitchen door for me so that the oily smoke doesn’t go into the living room. “
Nie Zihang obediently closed the door.
There was the hum of the cooker hood behind him, and the sizzle of vegetables being poured into the frying pan.
The smell of stir-fried onion, ginger, and garlic wafted out from the crack of the door, and Nie Zihang couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
It’s really been a long time since he’s smelled this.
-
Nie Zihang felt that it would be impolite for him to let the host cook and just wait to eat, so he went to check He Cheng’s case to have a look.
However, after only reading a few pages, the door to the kitchen opened.
The alpha came out with a plate of stir-fried vegetarian loofah. “Go wash your hands, then come eat.”
Nie Zihang quickly closed the documents and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
When he came back, Yu Jingxuan had already tidied up everything.
Two stir-fried vegetables and a small pot of pork rib soup were placed on the dining table. The freshly served rice was still steaming.
In the cosy small apartment, the smell of home-cooked meals wafted through the air.
“I’ll be taking advantage of Officer Yu to have a decent meal.”
Nie Zihang served him a bowl of soup with a smile and pushed it over graciously.
Yu Jingxuan said “thank you” and then went to check his phone.
He then typed a message back while drinking the soup.
Nie Zihang scooped up a large chopstick dish for him, placed it in his bowl, and asked, “A friend?”
Yu Jingxuan placed his phone down, chewed slowly for a few moments, and then murmured, “Mhm. He Cheng’s problem is quite serious, and all of his pals are aware of it. They want to introduce me to someone. Shouldn’t Mr. Nie be in a similar situation?”
Nie Zihang thought of his unreliable friends and snorted coldly, “Far from it. They all told me to stop looking and just give up. And that I can’t find one anymore, I’m beyond help.”
Yu Jingxuan had a choked expression. “I don’t think so. There will always be someone for you.”
Nie Zihang pushed his phone directly in front of the alpha. “See for yourself. They advised me to look on the bright side and just stop looking. They also advised me to go to a bar, meet someone, and have a one-night stand with them. Everything you can think of, you name it.”
He would usually chat with his friends without restriction. They’d all talk freely and very explicitly.
The alpha on the opposite side looked at it, his face blushing again.
After a long while, he only managed to say, “Don’t listen to them. It’s not good…”
Nie Zihang raised his eyebrows. “Hmm? What’s not good? Dear citizen’s policeman, please explain to me why, the citizen.”
Yu Jingxuan, “It’s easy…uh, easy to get sick…”
The alpha spoke in a serious manner. Nie Zihang held back his laughter.
He feigned helplessness and asked, “Then what to do, I think what my friend said is quite right. Omegas are really unreliable. As long as an alpha’s pheromone is involved, they’d follow away. I’m not a monk, I still have basic needs, and I can’t rely on my right hand every day.”
Yu Jingxuan thought about it, and seriously proposed, “I see that you have a friend who has the same orientation as you. Why don’t… you two try?”
Nie Zihang, “Him? He’s rougher than me, and I can’t bottom. If I bottom for him… If I’m willing to let an omega top me, I might as well just lie under any alpha. It’s even more pleasurable than doing it with omegas.”
Yu Jingxuan did not speak anymore.
Nie Zihang thought that he had probably breached the alpha’s line, and if he kept teasing, he might suffer backlashes.
He then thought about it. How about making someone a meal as an apology.
Suddenly, he heard the alpha’s very small voice coming from the deep-buried bowl, where his face was buried. “Actually… it isn’t very pleasurable…”
Nie Zihang almost spit out a mouthful of food.
I’m-done-with-life!
Why did he answer so seriously…
Nie Zihang thought, if he were really a man, he should ask him: Are you sure it isn’t as pleasurable doing it with an omega?
Forget it. The too-embarrassed alpha would probably beat him out.

Uwaaaa! I missed this novel so much! As always, I love their dynamics! And I love how our Top Omega fell first for our adorable Alpha! Worm your way in, Nie gege! You gotta taste an orchid-scented Alpha and have him as your wife!
We love clean people, especially if they’re alphas, especially if they’re named Yu Jingxuan ≧∇≦
Oh, interesting! It seems that it’s inherent alpha personalities and expectations that turn him off , as opposed to say, their bodies and their pheromones? And it’s the same for Officer Yu, he just doesn’t like to top or dominate omegas, but he does like Nie Zihang’s scent (hee hee).
What a deep conversation they have 😂
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ӦｖӦ｡)
Hahahaha uwu I can’t wait for the next chapter 😔
If you look at it the other way…isn’t this a “straight” novel🥹🫠
