Su Liang was not an idiot.
He had soon realized that this garden had an owner, and it was only by relying on the kindness of the absent garden owner that he could rely on the defense mechanism of the garden to avoid the harassment by the group of Lu family alphas.
The young Su Liang was grateful towards the garden owner.
Such a kind person, despite never appearing in front of Su Liang, he could still feel the special tenderness and consideration of the other party.
And then, after the seasons change, a few persistent alphas would still try to trap Su Liang, but the desolate garden was no longer suitable for a child like Su Liang to stay for a long time.
Then suddenly one day, Su liang discovered that a small flower room had appeared in the corner of the garden.
The dead branches and leaves that had originally covered the flower room had been cleaned up, the electric lock on the flower room flashing red, proving that the electronic lock was in use.
Su Liang looked at the door of the flower room, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively pressed his hand on it.
“Ka-cha.”
Just as he expected, the flower room was also accessible for him.
After walking in, Su Liang found that there was something special in the small flower room. From the outside, the flower room and the garden look extremely dilapidated, but after walking in, he found that the inside of the flower house was completely cleaner and tidier than the outside.
It was called a flower room, but there are actually no plants here. The walls and floors were made of a special white material that Su Liang couldn’t describe. They were spotless, comparable to the operating room in the Lu family’s private hospital.
There were almost no furnishings in the room, just a cold steel reclining chair in the center, and a half-human-high metal box next to it – it was a semi-automatic medical robot.
It was quiet, empty, and secluded here.
Just like the garden outside, there was an icy aura.
….. But for Su Liang, it was very warm.
For a long time after that, Su Liang spent time in the corner of this flower room.
He does his homework, studies, and even naps here.
Of course, he has always been very careful. He has never touched the steel chair and medical robot in the center of the flower room. When he leaves the flower room, he will clean up the place where he has been very carefully.
Out of some special intuition, Su Liang felt that the owner of the garden probably would not like others to leave too strong traces in his territory.
Su Liang thought that he would never meet the owner of the garden.
After all, no matter the garden or the furnishings in the flower room, there was a strong aura of indifference, rejecting people from approaching from thousands of miles away.
However, suddenly one day, Su Liang saw that person.
At that time, Su Liang was struggling with his mecha work in the corner of the room with a bitter face, and then he heard a strange buzzing sound.
He turned his head in surprise, and saw a secret door appear where he thought was a white wall before.
A man swayed slightly, and walked in directly.
Su Liang looked at the man who suddenly appeared in the room in amazement.
It was an extremely tall young man, with a strange, cold and sharp aura all over his body. He was very handsome, but when ordinary humans see him, it may be difficult to process his handsomeness, because of his special temperament – like a very terrifying beast, or an invincible weapon on the battlefield.
Chilling.
Cold.
Unnatural.
A few words flashed through Su Liang’s mind. He had never seen such an alpha before, it was as if just by looking at him, he could be stabbed by the aura lingering around him.
Long strands of jet-black hair were tied into a bundle, hanging down behind the young man’s head. The ends of the braids were covered with silver-white mechanical tubes, flashing an incomprehensible red light.
In fact, it’s not just the braids. Most of the young man’s body was embedded in the cold mechanical exoskeleton armor. There was even a half of the plasma energy muzzle on his shoulders that has not yet been retracted, and the mechanical blade on his arm was also ticking. A suspicious-looking yellow-green slime flowed down.

“You-”
Su Liang jumped up, the homework on his knees scattering all over the floor.
The young man who suddenly appeared in the room just glanced at the flustered Su Liang coldly. He acted unusually indifferent, as if Su Liang’s existence was mere air, and then he withdrew his indifferent gaze, walking straight towards the steel lounge chair in the middle of the flower room.
Following his steps, the already damaged mecha exoskeletons automatically detached from him, piece by piece, and fell to the ground.
When the man laid on the recliner, most of his body was exposed.
Every muscle of his was terribly strong, but the more perfect his body was, the more frightening the wound became.
The semi-automatic medical machine started on its own as early as when the man was lying on the steel chair. The box that was originally square was unfolded, and the spider-like medical arms moved towards the man in unison. The laser rays landed directly on the open wound on the young man’s body, and a wisp of blue smoke rose, and a terrible smell of burnt flesh appeared in the air.
Su Liang just accidentally glanced at the scene, and was so frightened that his mind went blank, and even his legs were soft.
But the injured person, the young man, seemed extremely calm from beginning to end, as if the person who almost had his internal organs fall out was not himself at all.
It wasn’t until several medical arms carefully pulled out some glass capsules that seemed to be completely empty from the back of the man’s neck and threw them into the steel plate, that the man let out an extremely low muffled sound.
The strong bloody smell seemed to be dyed with a strange sweet and greasy aroma, but when sniffed carefully, only the wet and sweet smell could be smelled by the nose.
Su Liang’s hands and feet were cold, and he couldn’t move, like a wild deer caught by the headlights at night.
The young man’s attitude was so indifferent that he himself did not even know how to react.
He could only guess from the numbered tattoo on the young man’s forearm that was mottled with blood, that the other party should be a member of the Lu family’s army.
His brother-in-law mentioned that the top alphas in the Lu family were basically elite mecha warriors who fought directly against the Canaanites on the front line.
“…. They’re all members of the ‘Viper’ unit, directly under the head of the family. You’re still a child who doesn’t know anything. Theoretically, you shouldn’t have any interaction with men like them, but in case you do, just stay away. Those people… have suffered too much in the war, so their personalities are usually bizzare and cold, so it’s best not to mess with them.”
When his brother-in-law mentioned the people in the ‘Viper’ unit, his attitude was actually very contradictory. Su Liang could feel that his brother-in-law actually respected them, but there was a trace of fear that could not be concealed in that respect.
And now, a living ‘Viper’ soldier appeared in front of Su Liang, and he finally understood why his brother-in-law was so contradictory when he was talking about fellow alphas in the Lu family.
Because the real ‘Viper’ soldiers really look more like humanoid weapons than living humans.
Just when Su Liang’s limbs were weak and unsure of what to do, only capable of watching the blood-covered young man heal himself, the latter’s figure suddenly shook.
Su Liang heard a few metal rubbing sounds, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the treatment on the young man’s side – the treatment arm of the medical robot was trying to grasp a thick needle tube to pierce the back of the man’s neck.
However, the back of the ‘Viper’ was completely different from ordinary people. The icy metal ridge was firmly covering his neck. The attempt of the treatment arm was only in vain. The needle rubbed back and forth on the metal part, but it was impossible to successfully penetrate the youth’s body at all.
Su Liang didn’t know what the medicinal liquid inside the needle tube was used for, but he figured that it was a very important medicine. Because of just a few seconds of delay, the young man’s face who didn’t even show any emotion when his body was about to split in half, turned pale and blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even his body shook.
“Come.”
Su Liang suddenly heard a hoarse and cold voice.
“Huh? You mean, me?”
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, before realizing that the command was actually meant for him.
“You.”
‘Viper’ spoke indifferently.
Su Liang leaned over to the other’s side, trembling.
In fact, to a certain extent, even if the opponent is really a member of the “Viper” team, his actions are very suspicious. With such a serious injury, he ran to an abandoned garden to use an automatic medical robot to treat his wounds that could kill him, instead of going to the Lu family’s private hospital for better treatment. But in the face of such a person, Su Liang found that he could not raise any doubts at all, and of course, he was even less likely to express any resistance.
Even so…
He was also very strange, and without any reason, began to worry about the other party’s grimace and injuries.
Soon, Su Liang arrived at the youth’s side.
The scent of blood intensified, making Su Liang even more dizzy.
On the contrary, the young man was still expressionless.
Su Liang had no doubts that even if the one standing in front of the other side was a slime, he might still be this indifferent, without any emotional ups and downs.
Just when Su Liang thought so, ‘Viper’ suddenly leaned forward. He seemed to be sniffing something, and the tip of his nose flashed by the side of Su Liang’s neck.
Su Liang was so frightened that he shuddered, and when he was about to take a step back, he heard the young man’s whisper. “Not yet differentiated?”
“I, I haven’t…”
Su Liang stammered.
“Good.”
The young man said calmly.
Then he turned his body sideways and showed his back in front of Su Liang very calmly.
In addition to the terrifying-looking metal ridge, there was a snake on the man’s back—
It was a lifelike, terrifying snake-shaped tattoo that seemed to be able to leap out from under the skin at any moment.
Su Liang was so frightened that he was breathing heavily, and almost at the same time, the young man’s body also trembled.
With tensed muscles, the snake seemed to be swimming slowly on the other’s back.
“Press both hands on the 7th vertebrae, press the thumbs against the metal parts on both sides, and inject the medicine into the exposed space.”
The young man clearly issued an order to Su Liang.
“Wha, what?”
Only then did Su Liang recover from the shock the tattoo brought him, and he looked at the man in surprise.
He could see clearly that the man’s metal ridge was fully buckled inside the body.
But now he has to inject the man in the gap between such complicated metal parts?
“I, I, I have no medical training,” Su Liang almost cried. “Your metal spine is connected to the nerves, if I miss it, it will make you paralyzed—”
“Now, inject.”
‘Viper’ ignored Su Liang’s resistance, merely repeating his command.
Even Su Liang himself did not know how he finally mustered up the courage to complete the injection for the ‘Viper’ soldier.
He was just glad that he didn’t seem to have made too serious mistakes, and the other party finally left the flower room standing.
All that was left was the strong smell of blood, that was both fishy and sweet.
When the other party left, Su Liang finally realized in hindsight that mabe he was the garden’s owner who helped him.
“I, my name is Su Liang!”
Su Liang gathered up his courage and spoke in a very low voice behind the young man’s back.”
“Thank you for opening the garden… you saved me.”
The tall young man with his back to Su Liang paused for a moment, not even looking back.
“Hn.”
It was still the kind of icy voice without a trace of emotional fluctuations. He just responded indifferently, and then stepped into the shadow behind the secret door step by step, never looking back at Su Liang again.
From beginning to end, Su Liang didn’t know the name of the stern but handsome big brother.
After that, he never saw the other in the conservatory again.
Not long afterward, all the bad alphas who harassed Su Liang were suddenly exiled to the remote star area for some unknown reason.
There were no more strange and vicious rumors targeting Su Nuan and her brother in the Lu family.
At that time, the war between the Earth Alliance and the Canaanites finally came to an end. Lu Taipan, the head of the Lu family, slaughtered the last elite troops of the Canaanites single-handedly, and finally laid the cornerstone of the victory of the Earth Alliance. However, it is said that because of that battle, Lu Taipan was seriously injured, and all the “vipers” retreated into the shadows and disappeared in front of people.
The entire Lu family also became extraordinarily “silent” because of Lu Taipan’s serious injury, and Su Nuan and Su Liang finally reluctantly settled in the Lu family.
Since then, Su Liang no longer has to hide in the dilapidated garden to escape other Alphas with ulterior motives, but every now and then. He still visits the garden.
Occasionally, he would also think of the garden owner in his midnight dreams.
There was a dead silence in that person’s eyes, as if he could give up himself and leave this world at any time.
Was it because of the war?
The Canaanites have been defeated, has that person recovered?
He shouldn’t have been so injured again in the future, right? No, he should have reprogrammed the robots, and made some special commands for the metal spine…
Chaotic thoughts flashed quickly in Su Liang’s small mind.
Of course, the innocence and softness of this kind of exclusive child gradually faded with the passage of time.
Gradually, Su Liang stopped coming to this garden, and seldom remembered the ‘viper’ soldier who he only had a single-sided relationship with.
Until today.
“Huh?”
Back in reality, Su Liang yawned and opened his eyes.
He looked around in surprise, only to realize that he was recalling the past yesterday and unknowingly slept in the flower room.
“Oops!”
Su Liang jumped up immediately.
If Su Nuan finds out that he was not in his room, she would probably start thinking wildly again, worrying about this and that.
Su Liang hurriedly pushed open the door of the flower room, and hurried out a little embarrassed.
It was precisely because of this panic that he didn’t notice that, without any drug treatment, the symptoms of pheromone allergy on his body had completely disappeared.
In the same way, he wouldn’t know that shortly after he left, the secret door that had not been opened for many years was pushed open again.
A man staggered and walked into the flower room.
The author has something to say:
Couldn’t resist writing more stories.
It’s the plot of the super old-fashioned boss who was injured, and the little white rabbit who rescued it. Covering the face…
…
Little Su Liang didn’t know that there were only a handful of people in the entire Lu family who could approach Lu Taipan.
ps, according to the nonsense setting (it shouldn’t appear in the story), according to the tradition of the Lu family, except for the wife, the tattoo of the head of the Lu family is not allowed to be seen by any differentiated Omega.
That is, after entering modern society, this tradition gradually became less strict.
ML is really awesome and powerful (??
I can imagine his half mechanical body and braids
As for analysis… Su Liang never really relaxes in the Lu family, which is why he wants to leave, but there is an undeniable sense of security when he smells Lu Taipan’s pheromones, which might also have to do with the little garden. (Su Liang ah, why did you leave in such a hurry?! What about our boi Lu Taipan, hm?!)
And Lu Taipan… I find difficult to describe. He is very detached and indifferent… because of his SS mental powers(?) and being a high quality alpha. It seems that he’s always been isolated because of other people’s fear of him, and he might’ve been bullied when he was little… or he had a very happy childhood that changed when he differentiated. I don’t know, at this point in time, I can only speculate.
As for why such a person who is emotionally detached from the world would let in a stray cat… Imagine this: You’re a garden owner, but don’t spend much time there. One day, a cat escaping from ferocious dogs finds its way into the garden. You allow it to stay and protect it from the dogs with the attitude of “it’s just a little cat”. You have no special feelings towards it, neither positive nor negative, so it doesn’t matter if it stays or not. However, seeing that it is there makes your thoughts settle down and your heart warm, only a very tiny, little bit, but that little cat’s intrusion still changed something. — In Lu Taipan’s case, he probably feels comfort from Su Liang’s pheromones, just like vice versa.
Now, I don’t know enough about Lu Taipan and Lu Taipan’s type of person, so it’s difficult to analyze him. The way other people describe him, he appears like a monster, but it is this impression that isolated him from others. And there are no people “like him”, so he should’ve gotten used to being unspeakably lonely and feeling numb (numb means having barely any ups and downs in your emotional fluctuations towards anything, feeling like an emotionless observer on the sidelines). Anyway, I don’t trust the other characters’ descriptions of him, and Su Liang doesn’t count either after only seeing him once. So, I need more of Lu Taipan’s perspective! It’s like missing a corner from a puzzle…
But it’s all guesswork anyway! Each chapter brings me joy and I like to think more deeply about this story, it really makes me happy~
Thank you for the chapter! 🙂

I can’t wait to read more of this story. I am curious but semi-confused about the past part and the current time in this chapter, which have not been separated. I am baffled.
With all that description abt the ML, i was kinda hoping that he’s actually non human. It would be so sexy.
