The clock hung on the wall of the office indicating that it was already two o’clock.
Han Xingqian was still fully clothed and he was still wearing his lab coat. He took off the rubber gloves and threw them in the garbage can, then picked up Xiao Xun, who was lying on the examination bed, and had him lean against his chest.
Xiao Xun’s hands had no strength left whatsoever, loosely hanging around the alpha’s neck. His body kept sliding down, only to be lifted back up by Han Xingqian with one hand.
“The examination is finished; your body is very healthy.” Han Xingqian bent his eyes and freed one hand to pick up the seal sitting on the desk. He stamped his name under the doctor-in-charge column on Xiao Xun’s physical exam report.
Xiao Xun didn’t even have the strength to lift his head, while the gland on his nape was bitten until it was full of bloody teeth marks.
“Are you hungry? We can go now.” Han Xingqian released some soothing pheromones and rubbed the puppy’s back.
Xiao Xun tried his best to open his eyes; in fact, he was already tired to the point he couldn’t walk anymore, but he still listened and went down to the floor barefooted. His thin tail was awkwardly tucked in between his legs, but liquid dripped down from the damp fur.
He sat on the seat to put on his pants and shoes before pulling his shirt over his body, silently smoothing out his messy hair.
He was so obedient but Han Xingqian felt a bit sorry instead. He thought he had gone too far and scared him, so he stretched his hand to Xiao Xun’s cheek. He figured if he dodged, then he’d take him home first to comfort him. However, he didn’t dodge, but turned and looked up at him with his round eyes. He placed his cheek on his palm and rubbed on his hand, his wet tail wagging. He squeezed out a bit of pheromones and the sunflower pheromones, mixed with the larkspur pheromones, gave off a kind of roasted melon seed smell.
Han Xingqian’s heart trembled as he was being watched.
He put a hand on Xiao Xun’s shoulder and used his J1 ability, Strength Reset, on Xiao Xun so that he could recover his physical strength. He took a paper towel and wiped Xiao Xun’s tail with it. Seeing his shoelaces untied, he naturally squatted down to tie them for him.
After he finished and looked up, Xiao Xun was earnestly looking at him with his head bowed, and both hands neatly resting on his knees.
“Thank you.” Xiao Xun snapped out of it and blinked slowly.
“Thank you?”
Before Xiao Xun could react, he was pressed to the seat by Han Xingqian, who had suddenly stood up, and his forehead touched the horn. He heard the alpha chuckle beside his ear and said, “No matter how much I mess with you, you won’t get upset. With such a good temperament, I’m always afraid that you’ll be bullied.”
“I don’t have a good temper, Han-ge.” Xiao Xun looked up and answered honestly. “I can tell who treats me well. Han-ge, don’t treat me like a child.”
“Okay, okay.” Han Xingqian buckled his pants and pulled him up. “Oh, right, the interns were on vacation two days ago and went shopping. I told them to get you winter clothes since young girls have a better understanding of this than me. They’re in my car. You go first, and I’ll lock the door.”

“Okay.” When Xiao Xun heard there were gifts, his eyes lit up. He helped lock the windows, flipped over the sign hanging outside the door to close the consultation, and followed Dr. Han out the door.

Xiao Xun carried his backpack and walked beside the alpha with his tail raised proudly. He was secretly happy because others could smell the sunflower pheromones emitting from Han-ge’s body. He was as timid and possessive as a dog, marking its territory with pee.
He followed after him until they reached the parking garage. It was dark inside, and when Han Xingqian was looking for the keys, he was suddenly wrapped around the waist from behind.
The surroundings were pitch-black. Xiao Xun hugged him and called him “Teacher Han.”
Han Xingqian’s body momentarily tensed.
Xiao Xun mumbled, “My dashboard seems to be not working properly; I haven’t done anything, but why is your sexual desire value so high?”
Han Xingqian was caught off guard and had his emotions checked. He turned around and bit Xiao Xun on the lips, then placed the vindictive puppy in the passenger seat. “Do you still want to eat? If we go home, there would be only dog food left to eat.”
“I do…”
When they went to eat, Xiao Xun charged his phone. When the phone turned on, a message popped up on the screen. He clicked on it; it was from Lu Yan.
“Xiao Xiao, have you used the method we learned yet? Is it effective?”
Xiao Xun’s cheeks flushed after a brief flashback. He took the phone under the table and replied, “Not yet, I’m eating with Han-ge.”
Lu Yan, “Good, very good. Let me know the results after you try it, I want to try this on Lanxing! I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Xiao Xun trembled as he replied with an “OK,” and he turned to glance at Han-ge with a guilty conscience. The other party just curved his eyes and smiled, not seeming to be suspicious at all.
Han Xingqian looked closely at the reflection of the phone screen on the glass window behind Xiao Xun. Every single word in the chat was captured in his smiling gaze.
At this moment, Han Xingqian’s phone that was hooked to the dashboard sounded—it was a call from Bi Lanxing.
Bi Lanxing, “Han-ge, I received news just now. I called Xiao Xiao but he didn’t answer.”
After he finished speaking, Han Xingqian thought for a moment, then asked, “Has he already been taken into custody?”
“He’s still in the police station.”
Han Xingqian asked him to talk to an officer he was acquainted with and reminded him lightly, “This info is not bad, I’ll also give you some info.”
“What?”
“Don’t work overtime tonight; head back home early to find that little rabbit meat. The little guy is up to something.”
“Ah, what do you mean?”
“Go, go and figure it out yourself.” Han Xingqian hung up the call.
Across the dining table, Xiao Xun sat upright, his chopsticks were neatly placed in the clean and empty bowl. The used napkins were stacked neatly by his hand, with the four corners aligned with each other. The bones and fishbones were cleanly piled up in the bone bowl.
“Lanxing called? What’s the matter?” Xiao Xun asked.
“Are you full?” Han Xingqian rested his chin in his hand and gently asked as if he didn’t hear anything urgent. “We still have a lot of time; do you want to go to a bar?”
“I’m full.” Xiao Xun wagged his tail, but he didn’t want to go out; he just wanted to go home.
“Alright, just now Lanxing called to say that the Greyhound family’s Xiao Yang went to the Alliance Police Station to turn himself in. Do you want to go see him?”
Xiao Xun didn’t feel surprised, but once the Greyhound family was mentioned, his originally sunny expression suddenly turned somber.
He hated the Greyhound family’s alphas, who were condescending and looked down on the opposite sex. He also hated the omegas in the family, who only compromised without competing or asserting themselves. However, he didn’t dislike his Sixth Uncle.
“Can we go?” he asked.
“Of course, we can go if you want to. If you don’t want to, then we can just head home directly. You don’t need to feel responsible for them, so don’t feel pressured.
“I…let’s forget it, then.”
But when they got to the car, Xiao Xun changed his mind, wanting to go see his Sixth Uncle but didn’t know how to say it without looking willful, so he grabbed the seat belt while being torn.
Han Xingqian only had to look at his expression through the rearview mirror to understand everything; he suddenly changed direction, driving in the direction of the Alliance Police Station.
Xiao Xun noticed that the car had turned around, realizing that his mood had been seen through.
When they arrived at the station, Xiao Yang had just come out from the interrogation room. He was wearing a well-tailored suit. It seemed he had not worn a doctor’s coat in a long time. Although his hands were cuffed, his face was beaming, and his eyes were narrowed into a crescent moon arc.
Han Xingqian showed his IOA ID and obtained the chance to talk with Xiao Yang alone. He patted Xiao Xun on the shoulder, and then pushed him into the room. He leaned outside the door to wait for them.
Xiao Yang noticed someone come in so he turned to look. His eyes bent a bit more. He gestured for Xiao Xun to sit next to him.
Xiao Xun sat straight in front of him, his gaze distant but not rejecting.
“Xun Xun, do you know why I’m here?”
“You worked your life away in the 109 Research Institute for Aileen; would the number of lives lost in your hands be any less? Of course, you can’t escape legal consequences.
“You’re wrong. In the past two years, no one has come to arrest me. I walked in here myself today.” Xiao Yang dusted off his sleeves. “Aileen is my boss; slaving my life away for her is my way of living. Otherwise, should I have continued staying with the family, or sought shelter with the IOA? Xun Xun, you have a place to return to, which is already fortunate enough. Don’t take God’s gift for granted.”
“Is Aileen still alive?” Xiao Yang asked.
Xiao Xun shook his head. “I don’t know; there’s no news about her.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Yang was a bit disappointed. “If she died, it should be considered that I killed her.”
“In her last month at the institute, she destroyed all my files, not leaving any copies. She had sent me back to the Greyhound family, anticipating the eventual chaos before letting me return to my secluded hometown for refuge.” Xiao Yang leaned back on the interrogation chair, smiling desolately. “I regretted it afterward.”
“Since you came to turn yourself in, who’s the current head of the Greyhound family?”
“Don’t you read any news? Or were you specifically avoiding news about our family?” Xiao Yang raised a brow. “Song Feng is the current head of the Greyhound family.”
Xiao Xun suddenly froze, and after a long time, he asked in astonishment, “Sister-in-law? Where’s uncle? And big brother?
“Tsk, you’re going to have to go look through the autopsy reports yourself.” Xiao Yang’s expression was quite calm; the corner of his lips curled up occasionally, and his smiling expression showed delight. “From now on, the Greyhound family’s alphas will be severely trampled on as they beg for a livelihood. You should go home to take a look when you have the time.”
Xiao Xun was still out of it when he walked out of the interrogation room, digesting the information in his head. Han Xingqian was waiting outside the door, putting his jacket over him. He hugged him tightly through the cotton clothes, and before any words were said, a strong larkspur soothing pheromone was already ready to comfort the trembling puppy huddled in Han Xingqian’s arms.
“Han-ge, how will Sixth Uncle’s case be judged?” Xiao Xun’s demeanor wasn’t quite as he expected it to be. Not only was he calm, but he was also indifferent.
“It still hasn’t been decided yet. Let me ask more in-depth tomorrow morning.”
The atmosphere in the police station was turbid and depressing. Xiao Xun was out of breath, rushing outside in a panic.
After running for a certain distance, his speed dropped and gradually stopped in a dark alleyway. He glanced back subconsciously and was wrapped by the waist and into Han Xingqian’s embrace. The two of them faced each other. Xiao Xun’s back pressed against the cold wall, panicking a bit.
Han Xingqian stuck close to him and comforted him, “Don’t be scared. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don’t be afraid. He bowed his head, kissed Xiao Xun, and whispered comforting words between kisses, “You have a family now, Xun Xun.”
Xiao Xun trembled and hugged him even tighter.
His forehead touched Han Xingqian’s horn inadvertently.
In an instant, Han Xingqian heard an anxious inner voice—
“Very good, they died well. If I were there, I would’ve shoved a Magnum in their mouth and fired two shots before they stopped breathing… Oh no, am I showing too much happiness on my face? Han-ge will think I’m cruel and vicious. Not good, I can’t let that happen, I need to look a bit sad. Try to think of something sad… I can’t think of anything sad… Then, let’s find a way to distract myself. Lu Yan…right, Ah Yan said tonight after taking a shower, I should unwrap my towel in front of Han-ge to see his reaction…”
Han Xingqian almost lost his cool.
It seemed that some puppies only wagged their tail and acted spoiled in front of their owner, blinking their black and round innocent eyes to gain their affection. However, it was normal for them to bar their fangs and show aggressiveness when facing other people, rushing toward them and biting them to death without batting an eye.
