When Lu Qingyan released Lin You, Lin You was already stunned to the core.
Halfway through the kiss, Lu Qingyan let go of his waist and made him stand on the ground. However, as he stepped on the hard stone road, he felt as if in a trance that the ground beneath his feet was soft.
He must be dreaming.
If it wasn’t a dream, why would Lu Qingyan kiss him?
Moreover, kissing him in such an obscene manner?
Lu Qingyan knew he had frightened Lin You.
No one else’s confession was like this, forcing a kiss before expressing their feelings.
It was only because it was him that Lin You didn’t lift his hands and beat him up.
Yet he didn’t feel guilty at all.
Not even the slightest bit.
“The person I like is you,” Lu Qingyan said calmly.
Liking someone was never something that needed to be hidden.
It was just that the person he fell for was a bit special.
Lin You’s first reaction was to cover his ears, but as he raised his hands halfway, he lowered them again.
Avoiding it wouldn’t accomplish anything, and Lu Qingyan wasn’t the kind of person that would allow him to avoid this.
But as he looked at Lu Qingyan, he didn’t know what to say.
His lips were swollen from Lu Qingyan’s kiss, tingling and numb. It was a bit cold in the snow, but his face was burning hot.
“Lao Lu, I…” he haltingly opened his mouth.
But before he could say anything, Lu Qingyan covered his mouth.
Lin You looked at Lu Qingyan with question marks all over his head.
What kind of robbery behavior was this?
Forcing a kiss on someone and not even allowing them to speak?
Lin You could only express his anger through his eyes.
“Lin You, I’m not confessing to you to force you to respond right away. I just don’t want to be your bro anymore. I want you to know the feelings I have when I’m with you,” Lu Qingyan said calmly. “I also don’t want you to be with me because you don’t want to lose me or because of our relationship. I want you to genuinely like me, and to want no one else but me.”
Lu Qingyan stared intently into Lin You’s eyes.
He looked at Lin You for a long while before releasing the hand that was covering Lin You’s mouth.
“Do you understand what I mean?” he asked.
He released Lin You, but Lin You remained speechless for a long time.
“You’re too confident,” Lin You finally found his voice after a while. He turned his head away, not looking at Lu Qingyan. His thoughts were in disarray, and he didn’t know what he was saying, “Why do you think I would sell myself just because I don’t want to lose you?”
“You will,” Lu Qingyan’s tone was extremely firm. “You won’t be able to bear being without me. You’ve never been in a relationship or even liked anyone. If I insist on being with you, it won’t take long for you to surrender. But it won’t be a choice you made willingly, it’ll be because I forced you.”

Lu Qingyan couldn’t help himself and leaned over to give Lin You’s lips another kiss.
Just a peck.
This time, Lin You was genuinely frightened back a few steps, covering his mouth as he looked at Lu Qingyan like he was witnessing some audacious act.
Kissing once was already enough, and now he’s even addicted to it?
“Lu Qingyan,” he called out Lu Qingyan’s name with frustration and seriousness.
“Mn?”
Lu Qingyan straightened up and casually replied with a nonchalant sound.
Lin You grumbled, “You’re acting like a thug right now.”
The thug himself accepted the evaluation quite well.
“Mn, I’ve been wanting to act like a thug towards you for a long time, I held it in for so long that it almost suffocated me,” Lu Qingyan chuckled with a hint of helplessness. He recalled the absurd and alluring dreams he had about Lin You, and in those dreams, Lin You was incredibly soft. “If you knew what I’ve done to you in my mind, you’d probably have run away from me long ago.”
Lin You felt like turning around and running away at this exact moment.
He couldn’t understand how, after spending a short fifteen minutes together with Lu Qingyan, seeing the snow and giving him a New Year’s gift, his best bro, his childhood companion, had suddenly turned into his admirer?
He highly suspected that he was in a dream.
But when he secretly pinched himself a few times, using great force, the pain almost made him tear up.
They stood like that in the snow for a few more minutes.
The snowfall grew heavier. This was the New Year’s Eve snow, gradually accumulating on the ground, forming a soft, milky white blanket. Everyone else was immersed in their dreams, only these two were standing in the garden, silently facing each other.
In the end, Lin You was the first to give in. He turned around and softly said, “Let’s go, there’s nothing special about this snow anyway.”
He started walking back towards the hotel, and Lu Qingyan naturally followed.
In the elevator.
As Lin You watched the number climbing upward, he suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Lu Qingyan, furrowing his brows, “Lao Lu, do you really like me? Is it because of my seductive-type pheromones that you’re attracted to me?”
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
He was completely overwhelmed when Lu Qingyan kissed him earlier and hadn’t thought about this. But now, upon mulling over it once again, everything seemed to be explained if this was the case.
Not only was he a top-tier seductive-type, but he was also 100% compatible with Lu Qingyan. With these conditions, no matter who it was, they would fall for him.
“So you don’t actually like me…” Lin You even felt a little agitated.
Lu Qingyan, however, gave him a cold glance, “I liked you even before I presented.”
Lin You fell silent again.
What else could he say? ‘Bro, you realized your feelings pretty early on?’
Lu Qingyan didn’t let him off the hook, “If I wanted to use pheromones to entice you, it would be so easy. But I don’t want to.”
As Lu Qingyan spoke, the concentration of pheromones in the elevator suddenly increased.
He hadn’t used any blocking agents today.
At first, Lin You didn’t understand what Lu Qingyan meant.
But as the pheromones in the elevator reached a certain level, Lin You unconsciously felt a little weak in the legs. He could only watch as Lu Qingyan approached him, grasped his waist and pressed him against the elevator wall.
The pheromones emanating from Lu Qingyan caused his breathing to quicken.
The scent of cedarwood filled this entire confined space.
He gripped Lu Qingyan’s jacket, and it was as if his brain was being controlled by the pheromones, his heart and mind were filled with the desire to be close to Lu Qingyan.
He saw Lu Qingyan lowering his head towards him, as if he was about to kiss him.
This time, Lin You didn’t dodge.
He couldn’t help but tiptoe, slightly lifting his chin as if offering a kiss to Lu Qingyan.
But then, Lu Qingyan stopped.
He looked down at Lin You. Lin You’s pheromones were also triggered by him, a faint scent of orchids broke through the blocking patch’s barrier and floated in the air.
“Lin You, do you now understand how terrifying the attraction between us is?” Lu Qingyan struggled with all his might to restrain himself. “If I wanted to use pheromones to entice you, I would have done it already.”
Not only did Lin You’s pheromones act as an aphrodisiac for him, but his own pheromones had the same effect on Lin You.
With a 100% compatibility, and both of their pheromone levels so high.
There was no way either of them could resist the intentional seduction of the other.
Lu Qingyan felt that if he were a bit more ruthless and cared less about how much Lin You liked him, Lin You might’ve already been marked by him.
But he just had to care.
“I don’t want to use pheromones to entice you,” Lu Qingyan repeated, “I want you to love me.”
Hearing Lu Qingyan’s words brought Lin You back to his senses.
He realized what he had just wanted to do, and his face turned pale from shock.
Fortunately, Lu Qingyan quickly released him.
The elevator had reached the top floor, and Lu Qingyan and Lin You walked out, one after the other.
When they reached the door of his room, Lin You opened it but hesitated to enter.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Qingyan asked gently.
“Lao Lu, what answer are you looking for from me?” Lin You looked puzzled at Lu Qingyan. “If I consider it but still feel that I can’t be with you, then what do we do?”
They had years of friendship and had relied on each other for so long. Would everything collapse just because of this?
He didn’t want that.
Lu Qingyan was right.
The person in front of him understood him too well.
He was still clueless about love, had never been in a relationship, and hadn’t even liked anyone. If Lu Qingyan forcefully pushed him to be with him, it wouldn’t be long before he succumbed to it.
After all, he had no one he liked, and he couldn’t bear to lose Lu Qingyan.
To give a vague affection in exchange for Lu Qingyan’s lifelong companionship didn’t seem like a bad deal.
But now, Lu Qingyan didn’t want this half-hearted affection from him.
Instead, he wanted him to seriously think it over and then answer him.
This made him panic.
However, Lu Qingyan didn’t answer his question.
“Go to sleep first, it’s getting late. Are you really planning to stay up all night?”
Lu Qingyan opened the door and pushed Lin You inside.
“Goodnight,” he stood outside the door and said to Lin You.
For some reason, Lin You felt that this version of Lu Qingyan didn’t seem as gentle as usual. Instead, he seemed somewhat cold, like a blade.
Even if Lu Qingyan’s expression was very gentle.
Lin You still bid him goodnight in the end.
He waved at Lu Qingyan like an elementary student.
Then closed the door.
Lu Qingyan stood outside Lin You’s door for a moment before turning back to his own room.
Downstairs, none of the sleeping people woke up. Lu Qingyan slowly walked up the stairs.
He was the only one staying on the second floor, and there was also a small balcony.
Lu Qingyan stood on the balcony, and outside, the snow was falling heavier and heavier. The city had turned into a silvery-white wonderland during its slumber.
He held a can of beer and took a few sips. The black bracelet slid slightly with his movements, and the golden pendant gently brushed against his skin.
Actually, there were two paths before him.
The first path was to use pheromones to force Lin You to like him. With their compatibility, he could even make Lin You go into heat involuntarily.
Lin You wouldn’t be able to resist at all and could only obediently be permanently marked by him.
Once marked, Lin You would become increasingly dependent on him. With their years of emotional foundation, Lin You might not even have time to figure out if it was love or not. In a daze, he would end up staying by his side, becoming his omega.
But he just had to choose the second path.
He wouldn’t use any pheromones to interfere and let Lin You decide on his own.
“What kind of saint am I trying to be?”
Lu Qingyan sneered at himself, crushing the beer can in his hand.
Lu Qing is one of a kind. Very hasty, but it works for him, I guess
