In fact, everything was a sign.
Wen Mingyu had already found the scent of wine in Mu Zhan’s body very pleasant during the day. Like last time, he kept sticking behind him like a little tail.
Mu Zhan‘s jade crown and pitch-black hair, his body standing like a graceful crane, and his cold and reserved temperament. Just standing like this was like an ink painting.
In the face of such great beauty, who could remain unmoved.
Wen Mingyu lost count of how many times he secretly called him “wifey” in his heart, longing to hug his wifey and stick to him.
He clung to Mu Zhan’s side and chirped a lot. His eagerness was evident in his sparkling eyes, and he exuded an inordinate amount of energy.
Since they only recently told each other their feelings and having just gotten established in a relationship, they were at the peak of their honeymoon phase, sticky and mushy. Wen Mingyu had a strong desire to stay with Mu Zhan all the time. When he had to part ways and go somewhere else, he couldn’t help but think that if only Mu Zhan could shrink down into a little pendant, he could carry him along.
When he was so glued to Mu Zhan, he therefore didn’t even realize that something was wrong the first time and felt it was normal.
The restlessness of the pheromones happened to amplify, a little further at best, the thought he had in his heart, and his reason waned a bit, enabling him to speak more audaciously and directly than he would have dared.
And just like that, he cried, wifey.
He used to think that Mu Zhan was very good-looking. Even though he said that he was a tyrant, when put into future films and TV dramas, he would undoubtedly be the kind of stunning villain who could cause viewers to follow their five senses instead of their three views. The viewers had to constantly remind themselves when watching that they would not stand in a crooked stance.
He had even more justification to admire this beauty now that their relationship had taken a new turn. This man was his! What was there to not want to lust over and plunder!
So in his mind, he dubbed him wifey in private.
Until the pheromones got restless and coupled with the rabbit mind, his reasoning went down the drain swiftly.
But it was also true that, as he himself said, he wasn’t inebriated. He was still conscious and was just borrowing the courage to dare to be arrogant and reckless.
Mu Zhan tried to dupe him up by calling the other “hubby,” but he still held on to his ground with a resolute and cheery smile: “wifey.”
After shouting it, it seemed as though he had accomplished something major and noteworthy. His face flushed scarlet with excitement, and he felt incredibly fulfilled. At Mu Zhan’s blank expression, he wanted to snicker even more.
However, it was also because he managed to entertain himself with Mu Zhan’s blankness for a short while that he also stepped into a pit.

Then, content, he drifted off to sleep.
With his hands still holding his wife, inhaling the comforting scent of mellow wine, he nestled into Mu Zhan’s arms and pressed his face against his pectoral muscles.
That was when the repercussions of not noticing anything out of the ordinary during the day came in.
Wen Mingyu’s body gradually began to warm up—the dry heat that would not stop coming from deep within rather than just the skin’s surface. His lips were colored a petal-red that matched his already warm cheeks. Warm air was released from the gap between his lips, and his rabbit ears popped out, hanging down softly to the side of his face, quivering somewhat pitifully.
This time, the fruity scent was just too intense compared to the previous one—so thick that it permeated the entire temple, severely affecting and devouring Mu Zhan’s sanity. That sweet scent pheromone was extremely lethal, enough to make any Alpha lose control of their thoughts, not to mention Mu Zhan’s own feelings for Wen Mingyu, which was even more drastic.
The longing in Mu Zhan’s heart was immediately elevated, turning into a beast driven solely by instincts that would incessantly thrash about its cell in an attempt to escape. The boiling, hot blood rushed like a straight punch into his skull all of a sudden. A roar went through his brain; his eyes were red with veins; his breathing was rapid; and his mouth was parched.
Wen Mingyu had also been scorched to unconsciousness. It was difficult to get his eyes halfway open; the humid heat had moistened his long eyelashes into a messy cluster, and the rims of his eyes were red and wet. He took the initiative to inch close to the source of the strong scent of wine. His delicate pink and white fingertips gripped Mu Zhan’s shirt lapel firmly as he attempted to kiss him regardless of everything.
It was getting more and more challenging for Mu Zhan to hold back. Although he had heard Wen Mingyu describe it previously, he hadn’t anticipated that when it arrived, it would actually be that powerful and have such a profound effect on him that it would simply drive him insane. If he hadn’t controlled himself with what little sense remained in him, he was afraid he would have already wrecked the person up.
He took hold of Wen Mingyu’s hand. When their skins collided, both of their temperatures were so high that he couldn’t even tell who was hotter. However undeniably comfortable it was to be in such close contact, at the same time, it also felt like a first that was igniting and spreading even more.
Mu Zhan pinched Wen Mingyu’s nape and forced him to look at himself, his voice harsh as he asked, “Do you know who I am?”
Wen Mingyu groped around wildly and grunted painfully. But when he heard the familiar voice, he still reluctantly opened his eyes. He stared at him for a while, then kissed him and softly cried, “Wifey…”
His voice was soft and milky, sounding as if he were acting coquettishly.
After spitting out the words, the sweet and moist, warm air he breathed out happened to sprinkled on Mu Zhan’s face, causing him to lose concentration for a moment, and then his eyes grew even more frantic and rapidly spread to all his limbs and bones, and his sanity collapsed completely.
The wine pheromones surged violently, and like a tidal wave, they swallowed Wen Mingyu at once.
The abnormal heat made Wen Mingyu so sweltering that he seemed to melt into a piping fruity wine. His body was trembling so much from the fragrant scent of wine. When the violent storm arrived, destroying and taking possession of everything, he was powerless to resist and could only cry out and plead for help, his mouth open and him gasping for oxygen like a suffocating fish.
The night seemed endless, but it went by without notice. The horizon revealed the white of a fish’s belly.
Mu Zhan scooped Wen Mingyu horizontally in his arms and went to bathe. The sudden suspension in midair made him panic, and he subconsciously put his arms around Mu Zhan’s neck for fear of falling down. Then, realizing that Mu Zhan was supporting him steadily and moving forward with ease, he relaxed with peace of mind.
He felt weak and achy all over. He lacked strength in his hands, so he could only rest softly on Mu Zhan’s shoulders. Like a fish that had been fished out of the water, he was all sweaty. Speaking was a bit difficult; he whimpered uncontrollably as he rested on Mu Zhan’s body. It was soft, and with a vaguely weepy tone, very pitiful.
His face pressed against Mu Zhan’s neck, he whispered slurredly and incoherently as he complained. Mu Zhan listened and coaxed him, and shortly, his face reddened even more. He subconsciously tried to wrestle his way off the ground, but Mu Zhan held him firmly and didn’t let go until he was in the bath. However, he didn’t let go entirely, still keeping the young man encircled in his arms.
They returned to the hall only half an hour later. Wen Mingyu was even weaker and more exhausted than before. Undried water droplets landed on the soft carpet, leaving a dark-colored trail.
Mu Zhan carried him again and returned to the bed. As the bed curtains collapsed, the sound of a crisp bell replayed itself.
Thus, it took three full days to pass before Wen Mingyu got up.
As this was the first time to actually go through the first heat period, Wen Mingyu was completely dumbfounded. Though he had read about it previously, witnessing it firsthand was far more real and scary. He almost thought he was going to die several times.
Exhausted as if he had run an intense marathon, he grudgingly got up and attempted to get out of bed to wash as usual, but faltered at the first step. As soon as he stepped foot on the carpet, his legs became too feeble to hold him up, and he lost control and fell forward. Mu Zhan hurriedly came over in big strides, caught him, and pulled him into his embrace.
“Stay still, just lie down and rest first.”
In this circumstance, there was no longer any room for Wen Mingyu to display his fake bravery. He had to lie back under the covers again, curling into a ball and blinking very, very slowly twice, as though he had been a fool for the last three days.
Although it may sound overly dramatic, it was true that he hadn’t yet slowed down and was even less likely to adapt so quickly. After a few more times, maybe it would be better, but not now.
At this point, all he could do was sink limply into the soft mattress and rest in a daze.
Mu Zhan watched him faithfully drift off to slumber, with every inch of him emanating the scent of his own pheromones, making it clear at a glance to whom he belonged.
Mu Zhan was exceptionally satisfied. It was not the same as the pleasurable satisfaction of knowing that Wen Mingyu liked him at the beginning. Although it was also very good before, there was always a sense of unease and a feeling that it wasn’t enough. Now, he had permanently marked Wen Mingyu, which made him feel that he truly owned the other person.
The heart inside his chest cavity was beating fiercely and intensely, nearly leaping out of his body. The whole man was in extreme exhilaration, with what looked like boundless energy coursing through his body.
Mu Zhan took Wen Mingyu into his arms, and, smelling the sweet and fruity scent, he gradually calmed down. But there was no hiding or controlling the curve of his mouth, and happiness nearly overflowed from his eyes.
He had so many waves of emotions that even the dragon horns on his head came out of nowhere. In fact, his dragon horns surfaced numerous times throughout those three days, brushing against Wen Mingyu from time to time and provoking a shiver. It was the same now. He leaned in close, resting his forehead greedily against Wen Mingyu’s.
Wen Mingyu, who was asleep, was disturbed. He shifted, grabbing the dragon horn that was jabbing at him. Mu Zhan instantly became more excited, and even his tail sprang out. It appeared even more sporadic than the dragon horns, behaving more like a self-aware creature and responding candidly to Mu Zhan’s emotions.
At last, Wen Mingyu opened his eyes slowly. When he awoke, he saw Mu Zhan’s handsome face, his one hand fiddling his hair, the other squeezing his ears, and his waist… What was that around his waist?
Looking down, Wen Mingyu realized it was Mu Zhan’s tail, coated with stunning scales with a little sheen. It was absolutely beautiful.
He reached out, and the tip of that tail immediately curled around his finger. Perhaps acting coquettish, it nuzzled against his fingers.
Wen Mingyu couldn’t help but play with it for a while.
But soon, Mu Zhan’s face showed displeasure, frowning faintly.
As a result, the tail vanished into thin air, and Mu Zhan instantly gripped Wen Mingyu’s hand that had just played with it. He then remained motionless, as if he had sent his hand to him on purpose for Wen Mingyu to touch.
Wen Mingyu froze for a second before realizing it. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Was he eating vinegar because of the tail? Isn’t that tail still part of him?
That being said, the tail was just so magical. Even when Wen Mingyu himself transformed into a rabbit, he was oblivious to his tail twitching behind him, as if it weren’t his.
After lying on the bed for a long time, Wen Mingyu’s stomach suddenly grumbled twice, hungry. So Mu Zhan scooped him up, helped him wash and change into his clothes, then carried him to the dining table.
At this hour, it was certainly already lunch rather than breakfast.
Wen Mingyu tried to reach for the food, but as soon as he did, he found himself covering his stomach. Feeling sore in his stomach, he sat back down again.
Mu Zhan picked up the dish for him in his bowl. “I’ll give you some medicine later.”
Wen Mingyu glared at him. What’s the point of medicine on a sore tummy.
Mu Zhan understood in an instant. The corners of his lips quirked, and he leaned over to whisper, “I was wrong. I’ll be more gentle next time.”
In response, Wen Mingyu kicked him squarely under the table. And even after getting kicked, a certain “tyrant” remained in high spirits. Under the table, he pressed against Wen Mingyu’s foot, smiling lightly and giving him several of his favorite dishes.
Wen Mingyu focused on his meal, his mouth filled with the aroma of the delicious food, and then not knowing what he was thinking of, he smiled.
The atmosphere at the table was good.
Although it was snowing out there, inside the temple was as balmy as spring.
