Once the doctor finished speaking, he noticed the three of them hadn’t moved and retrieved the register once more. Lowering his tone as if cautious not to disturb any patient’s emotions, he said, “The consultation will be done shortly. Please proceed with the registration.”
“……”
Sun Yiqing took the initiative to step back.
Adjusting his glasses, he glanced meaningfully at Lu Huan and Yu Baihan. “No, I’m just here to see them off.”
“Wait.”
Lu Huan motioned him back, tucked his hands into his pockets, and calmly stated, “I believe you can come in and join us.”
“You.”
Yu Baihan, inadvertently included twice: …?
Frowning, he gave the two of them a displeased look, wondering what Lu Huan and Xiao Sun were up to. They seemed less invested just moments ago.
One and two, now let’s create some distance.
He began to protest, “You—”
“Enough arguing,” the doctor at the door interjected, waving his hand, “Come inside and register.”
Three people, “……”
The consultation room had two sections, inside and outside.
Upon entering, a curved reception desk greeted them. Next to it was a waiting area furnished with sofas and coffee tables, while the inner room’s door remained closed.
Yu Baihan registered his name first.
Both Lu Huan and Sun Yiqing stood behind him, neither moving.
The doctor next to him glanced at Yu Baihan with relief, then shook his head, regarding Lu Huan and Sun Yiqing before moving aside as usual.
Yu Baihan was thoroughly amused by the scene.
He turned his head and pointed at Lu Huan, “Look at you people, shy away from medical treatment~”
Lu Huan extended his hand to pinch Yu Baihan’s cheek, lowered his eyes, and said, “What’s making you so happy? Delighted that the doctor thinks there’s hope for you?”
Yu Baihan, “…”
While they bantered, the inner door swung open.
A counselor expressed gratitude and walked out.
Then, a middle-aged man in his fifties stood at the door, dressed neatly and casually, with a gentle countenance.
The earlier doctor referred to him as “Doctor Chen,” motioning for him to take a look at Yu Baihan, “One has already registered, but the other two aren’t being cooperative.”
Chen Tianlang glanced in their direction:?
“…” Sun Yiqing nodded solemnly, “Doctor Chen, I am Sun Yiqing.”
Chen Tianlang was taken aback, then clarified to the doctor, “These two aren’t patients.”
The doctor was momentarily puzzled, as if caught in self-doubt:
Could it be that I’m the patient?
Yu Baihan suppressed his guilty conscience, followed Sun Yiqing, and passed by the doctor, greeting Chen Tianlang.
Quick introductions were made.
Sun Yiqing suggested they all proceed to the adjacent room to discuss their thoughts, leaving only Yu Baihan and Lu Huan here.
Chen Tianlang said to Yu Baihan, “Come on, let’s go in and have a conversation.”
“Sure.” Yu Baihan glanced at Lu Huan again before following.
Lu Huan remained in place, “I’ll wait for you outside and handle the payment.”
Yu Baihan feigned innocence, “You have a great time…”
Seeing through the ruse, Lu Huan asked softly, “Got your card at the ATM?”
“…” Ah, not precisely.
Then this~ Yu Baihan nodded at the back of his neck to Lu Huan, proceeding to follow Chen Tianlang inside, under the increasingly perplexed gaze of the doctor next to them.
…
Once the door closed behind them, the noises from outside were muffled.
Yu Baihan settled into a sofa positioned opposite a coffee table. The room carried a relaxing scent, with flower and fruit tea gracing the coffee table, creating an overall comfortable ambiance.
Chen Tianlang sat across from him, offering a friendly smile.
The other person’s expression was affable, lacking the invasive scrutiny typically associated with assessing someone.
Yu Baihan eased into the environment.
They exchanged casual conversation for a bit before Chen Tianlang got to the heart of the matter. “What brings you in for a consultation?”

“The other party doesn’t necessarily need an in-depth understanding of you, but you need to be in a state of trust or relaxation. Hence, you must remain sufficiently vigilant and defensive.”
“As for reverse hypnosis, for an ordinary person like you, it’s nearly impossible to reverse hypnotize a professional hypnotist.”
Yu Baihan contemplated this: Nearly impossible…
Which implies “it’s still possible.”
Just as he was mulling this over, Chen Tianlang continued, “Remember, prioritize self-protection.”
They made eye contact. Yu Baihan detected a trace of seriousness and helplessness in the gentle gaze of the other, as if he could discern his thoughts.
Yu Baihan: … Oh, a professional mind reader.
Gathering himself, he changed the topic, “Well, also, I still have some lingering physiological effects from the previous hypnotization that I’d like to address.”
Chen Tianlang immediately followed up, saying, “Understood.”
They discussed symptoms on the sofa for a while, during which Chen Tianlang tailored several recovery plans for him.
As they conversed, Yu Baihan suddenly heard a sigh from across the table, “It’s quite astonishing to see you so mentally resilient despite still experiencing physical aftereffects…”
The sentence paused midway, “Optimistic and cheerful.”
Yu Baihan looked up and caught a glimpse of the phrase “free-spirited” slipping off Chen Tianlang’s tongue.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: …Interesting.
Yu Baihan clarified, “I naturally have a lively disposition.”
A hint of playful resentment appeared on Chen Tianlang’s amiable face, “Hey, I was trying to be modest.”
How did this turn into a comparison? Quite amusing.
“……”
The counseling session concluded.
Yu Baihan stood, opened the door, and exited, with Chen Tianlang’s eyes brimming with both fascination and astonishment, as if observing an unusual case.
The door swung open, and Lu Huan, who had been waiting in the reception area, stood and approached, asking, “How did it go?”
Chen Tianlang exclaimed, “It’s a challenging case!”
Instantly, tension crept into Lu Huan’s face, and his eyes grew serious.
Yu Baihan, “…”
Then, Chen Tianlang clapped his hands with a “slap,” exclaiming once more, “At the same time, it’s also a medical miracle!”
As he spoke, he patted Yu Baihan on the shoulder and addressed Lu Huan, “The self-healing is impressive, quite unexpected. Try following those plans, and the chances of complete recovery are very high.”
Lu Huan’s tense expression eased, “Okay.”
After bidding farewell to Chen Tianlang, the two left the consulting room together.
Walking through the lengthy corridor, the daylight seeped through the windows, creating square patterns of light on the floor.
Lu Huan glanced at Yu Baihan, asking, “Are you feeling okay?”
Yu Baihan turned to face him, a small smile on his lips. He playfully rushed over and hugged Lu Huan’s waist. “Worried about your Omega?”
There was a two-second silence before a deep “hmm” resonated.
Then Yu Baihan felt a tap on the back of his neck.
Lu Huan deftly evaded the playful kicks aimed at him, cautioning, “Walk properly. And—”
Continuously glancing back at passing doctors, he advised Yu Baihan, “Don’t engage in role-playing in the psychiatric department, understood?”
Yu Baihan retracted his arm, offering a compliant nod. “Alright, duly noted.”
—
The plan outlined by Chen Tianlang was printed on paper and taken home.
One of the recommendations was to exercise more.
Lu Huan sat in the living room, reviewing all the instructions. He pointed to the exercise section and said to Yu Baihan, “Did you see this? Starting today, set a fixed time for exercising.”
“Sure.” Yu Baihan agreed obediently.
He prioritized his health.
After all, a sound body was an asset. (Yellow flutter.jpg)
As he spoke, he took out his phone and opened WeChat, “I just wonder if Qin Lun has some free time lately…”
Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him from the side.
Yu Baihan turned to see Lu Huan looking at him with pursed lips. It took him a moment to react, and he quickly turned off his phone, saying, “Probably not, Qin Lun is as busy as a spinning top.”
Then he asked seriously, “Can Coach Lu guide me?”
Lu Huan paused for a few seconds, seemingly considering, and then replied with the same seriousness, “Well, alright.”
Yu Baihan squinted his eyes, amused by the coincidence: Oh~ I’m wearing the same outfit as him.
…
After discussing their exercise routine, they headed to the third-floor gym in the evening.
The gym on the third floor mirrored the one outside, equipped with various exercise machines.
Lu Huan started by warming up Yu Baihan and then supervised him as he got on the treadmill, before proceeding to do his own exercises.
It was like having a dedicated coach.
Yu Baihan jogged on the treadmill, facing a large mirror that allowed him to see Lu Huan behind him training.
Lu Huan was in a dark gray short-sleeved T-shirt, legs spread as he performed exercises, showcasing his slightly raised thigh muscles. There was an explosive strength in his arms and back as he lifted weights.
After a set, Lu Huan wasn’t even out of breath, except for a reddened neck and a little sweat.
Yu Baihan marveled and envied, “Coach Lu is amazing.”
Lu Huan met his gaze in the mirror, pursed his lower lip, and got up, saying, “Don’t look around when you’re running; you might trip.”
He then turned around to switch to a different piece of equipment.
Yu Baihan simply hopped off the treadmill, leaning over to ask, “What does this one do?”
Lu Huan explained, “Crunches.”
Yu Baihan patted the equipment, “So it’s sit-ups. Alright, Baihan will do it with you!”
“No…” Lu Huan met his eager eyes halfway through his words, hesitated, and then agreed, “Okay.”
As they got to the yoga mat, Yu Baihan held Lu Huan’s ankles.
Lu Huan did the exercise effortlessly. The two took their positions, breathing in sync. The hem of the wide T-shirt lifted, revealing their tight abdominal muscles.
Yu Baihan glanced away, his face blushing.
He had been watching with intense focus, and Lu Huan paused and looked at him, “What’s the matter?”
Yu Baihan blushed and lightly accused, “Why are you emitting pheromones?”
Lu Huan, …”
He looked at Yu Baihan for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, reached out to fix Yu Baihan’s slipping collar, “Well, I’m an Alpha in the susceptible period, please understand.”
Yu Baihan was stunned by his smile, his expression momentarily entranced:
What’s happening? Lu Huan can actually release pheromones!
Lu Huan’s body was warm under his touch, and the heat was mirrored in the other’s eyes. Yu Baihan leaned closer, whispering, “You know, in school novels, the protagonists always end up kissing during sit-ups.”
Lu Huan looked at him, his voice steady, “Why would you kiss during sit-ups?”
Yu Baihan held his ankle and said, “For romance!”
“What if you can’t finish within the time limit?”
“……”
The zeal for learning from the divine being stopped him in his tracks.
Yu Baihan gazed at Lu Huan for a moment, then extended his hand to gently push him back, rising and sliding down Lu Huan’s bent knee to sit on his waist.
Why so many inquiries? No sense of fun.
Once seated, his waist was grabbed—
Lu Huan’s breath was slightly disheveled, his chest rising and falling as he looked at Yu Baihan, “What are you doing?”
Yu Baihan blushed and replied confidently, “Playing a sliding board.”
Lu Huan observed him for a moment, his eyes deep, and then pointed to his waist. “Indeed, you’re a sliding board.”
“?” Yu Baihan took a moment to register, then suddenly recalled the Huo family’s love for sliding boards, “…”
He grabbed Lu Huan’s wrist and shifted uncomfortably, “What’s with Coach Lu? You’re with me and yet mentioning my other brothers.”
The voice on the other end suddenly grew stern, “Don’t be mischievous.”
A clear sensation overcame him.
Yu Baihan sat on Lu Huan’s body, gazing at him with a flushed neck and a strong desire in his eyes—like a beast on a leash, yet tempting to provoke him.
He hesitated, leaned forward, and kissed Lu Huan’s lips.
Both of them had just exercised, and their bodies were heated, making their temperature rise.
Initially, Lu Huan couldn’t move, but gradually he reciprocated, breathing heavily. He released his grip on Yu Baihan’s waist and began to passionately respond to the kiss.
In the growing fervor, Yu Baihan was suddenly lifted, his entire body soaring.
He clung to Lu Huan’s neck, his legs wrapping around Lu Huan’s waist.
Lu Huan stood up in this position.
Upside down, their tongues danced in a kiss. Amidst the escalating heat, he moved and descended the stairs.
Each step of the stairs, their pace moving up and down.
Yu Baihan made a couple of muffled sounds, his eyelashes trembling, but was silenced by Lu Huan’s fervent lips. All the strength seemed to drain from his body; he only knew to hold him close.
Supported by Lu Huan, they proceeded through the corridor, into the bedroom, and onto the bed, enduring the onslaught of kisses.
In a daze, Yu Baihan heard the clinking of loose chains.
Everything blurred, and the voices faded again.
Lu Huan stood up and looked at him, reaching to touch his swollen lips, his voice husky and low, “I didn’t want to exercise, were you doing this on purpose?”
Yu Bai was nestled under the blanket, his breathing still unsteady.
Well, that was quite…
It was the first time he’d been kissed so intensely that he couldn’t even speak.
He gazed up at Lu Huan.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Lu Huan lowered his head and bit his lips again. Sweat dripped from above and sank into his forehead, as if it had been burned.
Yu Baihan stretched out his hand and grabbed the other side’s skirt, feeling dizzy from the heat.
The person who bit him finally let go.
Lu Huan looked down at him, and seemed to smile lightly, “That’s all for one kiss, and I want something else.”
“……”！
Yu Baihan gazed intently at the figure before him, but due to his reddening cheeks, he seemed a bit weak. Lu Huan scrutinized him for a moment, then grasped his waist and lifted him up, exhaling warm breath, “Go take a bath.”
Yu Baihan bit his lower lip, “Okay.”
He descended from the bed, his legs momentarily feeling wobbly, and then he was gently grasped. He turned to meet Lu Huan’s longing gaze and leaned in provocatively.
Lu Huan’s breath hitched, and he extended his hand to stroke Yu Baihan’s neck.
After a kiss that remained incomplete, Yu Baihan pulled Lu Huan’s hand. “I’ll head back now.”
Lu Huan let out a soft hum.
Yu Baihan stood there, looking at Lu Huan for a few seconds, then turned around and left the room. When their fingers parted, they lingered, reluctant to let go.
Then, with a sharp “thud,” the bedroom door closed.
Inside the room, Lu Huan stood in front of the bed for a long while.
It wasn’t until the sweat slipped and soaked the quilt in front of him that he raised his hand and lightly touched the base of his hot ear with the back of his hand.
Then he pursed her bright red lips, turned his head, and went to the bathroom to turn on the cold water.
…
After exiting the bathroom, the bed remained in disarray.
Lu Huan glanced at the bedside for a few moments, curled his fingers, lifted the quilt, and lay down, turning off the bedside lamp.
The air-conditioned room was quiet.
The cool moonlight seeped in through the crevices in the curtains, but it seemed incapable of reducing the room’s warmth.
Lu Huan lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
He didn’t know when, but fragmented scarlet images had been replaced by the eyes of another person.
Fresh and intense emotions surged within him.
His Adam’s apple twitched, and his heart burned with heat.
One arm rested outside the quilt, and the bed beneath his palm was soft, imbued with the scent of the other person, reminiscent of their parting kiss, imbued with a subtle sense of nostalgia.
Lu Huan took a deep breath and gradually drifted off to sleep with a warm lingering feeling.
As consciousness ebbed away, after an indeterminate period, somewhere deep within his heart stirred.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
The ceiling greeted his gaze. Lu Huan stared at it for a while, then pulled back the quilt and sat up.
In the quiet night, the memory of their reluctant farewell kiss was still vivid.
Lu Huan lowered his gaze, his brows furrowing in contemplation, belatedly sinking into deep thought:
…so, why were they still sleeping in separate rooms?
Thank you for the chapter~!
He only realises now ?!
