The assistant looked at Zhou Mushi, who was asleep in the crook of He Yu’s arms. He opened his mouth and said, “Commander, the old man Yu recently…”
“Don’t say that here,” He Yu said. “Go back and submit a written report.”
“Ai……”
“I won’t go out tomorrow. I will contact you online.”
Hearing this, the assistant looked at the omega’s splint-wrapped legs on the sofa. After being stared at by He Yu, he shrank back his head. “… Understood.”
He stood up and packed the medical equipment on the table, and said, “I’ll take the medicine box back?”
“Leave it here.”
The assistant muttered to himself, “This is for military use…”
However, he still didn’t dare to disobey his superior, and dejectedly left with an empty hand.
Zhou Mushi had a foot injury, and he also broke his leg, so he had to continue to rest in bed.
He lost weight too quickly. He Yu tried every means to feed him. He used all threats and temptation, but Zhou Mushi still didn’t buy it. At most, he would barely swallow a bowl of congee a day. He Yu could only pinch his chin and firmly stuff the food in his mouth to feed him.
He didn’t do it to anger him. He’s not childish enough to make fun of his body, he just really doesn’t want to eat.
He only took a sip of the soup in the insulated box on the nightstand and then put it down to look for a nutrient solution.
The cupboard was completely empty. He Yu threw away all the nutrient solution stored inside.
Zhou Mushi’s expression turned unhappy. He took a heavy, hard copy of a book next to the bed and flipped through a few pages. Half an hour later, the hunger not only decreased but increased instead. He put down the book and sat up straight, then he picked up the bowl beside the bed, pinched his nose, and drank it down in one go.
This is a bowl of thick white bone soup with plenty of protein. The fishy smell has been skimmed cleanly, and there’s also a taste of pheromone left by the alpha on the rim of the bowl.
A heavy woody taste.
Zhou Mushi remembered that the coffee he had been drinking for a long time also had this taste.
He didn’t know if every pair of couples in a marked relationship would have such a sense of sensitivity to each other’s pheromones. Even if it was only a little amount, it could nonetheless entice his peripheral nerves, thus involuntarily generating strange emotions.
Longing, dependency, but it was rather right to say that it was an addiction.

He Yu has been very busy lately, but due to Zhou Mushi’s limited mobility, he has been staying at home for the convenience of taking care of himself. When he was working at the desk during the day, Zhou Mushi would sit on his lap holding a book, reading, letting the assistant who was busy running about for him on the other end of the communicator roll his eyes secretly.
But today is different. There is an urgent matter in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that he needs to deal with. He Yu can no longer ask for leave, so he packs up and goes out early in the morning, saying that he will come back as soon as possible.
When Zhou Mushi woke up, he was sweating all over. He opened his wet eyelids and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
The dream he had just now made his face turn pale and his fingers sticky. He drank two sips of cold water, stepped on the ground, and supported himself with the bed rail. When he stepped on the floor, his feet were unsteady and he fell to the ground.
His head was dizzy, and the feeling of nausea suddenly surged up. Zhou Mushi pressed his throat for a while, but his hands and feet were still weak. Unable to get up, he propped up his upper body and crawled forward instinctively, rubbing against the wardrobe next to the bed.
The door of the wardrobe was ajar. He Yu forgot to close it before leaving. In front of him was a row of neatly hung coats and shirts. He sat down, leaned against the door, and raised his hand to grab a shirt. The white fabric fell into his arms like a falling bird.
Zhou Mushi slightly closed his eyes, buried the tip of his nose, and took a trembling breath, smelling the scent of his alpha.
**
When He Yu returned home, it was already dusk.
The room was very quiet. He quickly walked across the living room, and when he opened the door of the study, he smelled the scent of the omega’s pheromones.
It was thicker than usual. He narrowed his eyes slightly, only to find that there was no one in the middle of the bed.
With an anxiety that he didn’t realize, He Yu walked in, and only when Zhou Mushi’s familiar figure appeared in his sight did he relax his pace.
His omega was curled up at the foot of the wardrobe, asleep.
He Yu first curled his lips and smiled, then frowned again, knelt and supported the back of Zhou Mushi’s neck, and was about to pick him up when he suddenly noticed that the other was holding something in his arms.
A white shirt.
It seems that it was the shirt that He Yu had changed from yesterday.
He raised his eyebrow and was about to pull it out for a closer look when the person in his arms opened his eyes.
Waking up, Zhou Mushi’s face was slightly flushed, and there was still confusion in his pure black pupils that had not yet dispersed. His out-of-focus eyes fell on him, and after a while, he suddenly called out in a low voice, “Yu Yuan.”
He Yu paused, looked up slowly, lifted his hand to caress Zhou Mushi’s forehead, and replied, “En?”
This was the first time Zhou Mushi called his real name.
The other lowered his eyes and didn’t continue to speak. He Yu waited for a while and seeing him silent, he smiled, bent over and embraced the omega, and was about to pick him up, but Zhou Mushi suddenly pressed his hand against his chest and said, “Do you really believe that I want to kill you?”
He Yu’s eyes stagnated, but he remained silent.
Zhou Mushi quietly looked at his expression and suddenly curved the tip of his lips to a smile.
“You already knew.”
If he deliberately wanted to kill a person, he would never use such a botched and flawed method.
He Yu is more aware of this omega’s prudence than anyone else.
Only a fool would blindly believe in preconceived judgments without evidence. Even if he was confused at first, after a few days, he will discover the truth.
The bullets in the rain were just a fuse. What it was that really made him chained and imprisoned, both of them knew very well.
“I didn’t plan to really kill you before,” Zhou Mushi said with a cold look in his eyes. “But now, it’s probably not necessarily so.”
As the words fell, He Yu felt a cold object slowly pressing against his chest.
He lowered his head and saw the dark barrel of the gun, while its handle was held in the omega’s thin and slender hand.
“In the afternoon, I dreamed that you were dead.”
“Is it a prophecy?” He Yu asked.
“What do you think?”
He Yu looked at the barrel of the gun and unexpectedly chuckled, not in the least afraid in the face of death, as if what was pressed against his chest was a rose and not a deadly gun.
The scent of pheromone covered up the smell of gunpowder well, so the unsuspecting alpha won’t be able to detect it and step right into the trap.
Zhou Mushi said expressionlessly, “Any last words?”
He Yu lowered his head, as if thinking seriously for a while and as if he had thought of nothing, he looked into Zhou Mushi’s eyes, and said in a very serious voice, “Before I die, can you give me a kiss?”
Zhou Mushi looked at him indifferently.
He Yu didn’t wait for his consent. He propped up his hand on the wardrobe’s door, lowered his head, and kissed the warm lips of the omega against the cold gun.
“Bang!”
He pulled the trigger.
Zhou Mushi leaned against the wardrobe’s door, watching the alpha in front of him close his eyes. The hand supporting the back of his neck slowly dropped soundlessly.
He pushed the person away from him and stood up slowly while supporting his body with the wardrobe.
It hasn’t been long since his injuries healed, and walking was still a bit hard. Zhou Mushi put the gun in his armpit and staggered out of the narrow room step by step.
Outside is the study.
A large wooden desk was placed in the center, with a porcelain vase filled with roses in the corner. He stopped at the desk and stretched out his hand to open the drawer.
In the center of a stack of documents is a bunch of silver keys in ancient style.
It was placed there very conspicuously, as if it was deliberately done so for someone to discover.
With a soft “click”, the cuffs symbolizing restrictions fell to the ground and were kicked away by the man.
Zhou Mushi moved his wrist and looked in the direction of the room in the study with a faint smile in his eyes.
Whoever is soft-hearted deserves it.
The author:
The end of the main story.
(Kidding)
(This is not BE don’t hit me)
You can gently scold me today, I want to read the comments hahaha.
Translator’s Corner: If the author choose to end the story with this kind of ending, although it was rather abrupt I must say it’s very unique and satisfying.
WHAT OH MY FOSH BRO NOA WAY
THANK YOU FOR THE CHAPTER TRANSLATOR 😭❤️❤️
It would be the best ending for me, because I don’t get their relationship no matter how I tried to understand it… I want to see how author-sama going to make me believe that they are indeed in love and etc
Thank You for the new chapter ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)˚๐*˟ ♡
Yes it is a satisfying ending…and a brave one. ZM and HY have been at cross purposes.
That’s way too abrupt ……
What….. I’m so confused. I should’ve never read the chapter.the suspense will kill me for a week 💔
I avoid reading stories with Bad Ending as much as possible, but I can’t help not to feel satisfied with such outcome between them. I just can’t find it in me to accept this kind of relationship out of possessiveness and benefits. Nevertheless, I’m still satisfied with the story. I enjoyed the characters flaws and imperfections.
Why is everyone saying they’re satisfied ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ I am not
I thought he was in heat 😭
I flicked past all the no con bits because it is disturbing for me and if it ends here, I’m satisfied.
