Happy reading~ 🫶
Xu Ze remembered that there was a small step at the entrance. He clung to the belt of Lu Heyang’s training uniform for fear of tripping. Lu Heyang kissed Xu Ze’s tongue for a moment. He picked him up by his legs and stepped over the step that was distracting him.
Sinking into the soft bed covers, Xu Ze hugged Lu Heyang’s neck and kissed him breathlessly. Lu Heyang’s fingers kneaded Xu Ze’s nipples through the sweater. Xu Ze tensed his waist. He couldn’t help but make a sound, but accidentally ended up biting Lu Heyang’s tongue since his mouth was blocked.
Lu Heyang paused, lifting his head to rest it on Xu Ze. Xu Ze licked his lips anxiously and asked abruptly, “Are you angry?”
“Why do you ask that?”
“Because I slept on the sofa.”
“Why are you suddenly admitting to sleeping on the sofa?”
It was then that Xu Ze realized he had unintentionally revealed himself. Deciding to end the conversation, Xu Ze pulled Lu Heyang down by his collar and awkwardly kissed him. His hands trembled so badly that it took him almost half a minute to undo one of Lu Heyang’s buttons. In the end, Lu Heyang covered his hands and helped him unbutton the buttons of the training suit.
Xu Ze reached into Lu Heyang’s lapel and touched his chest. His fingertips felt the heat. Xu Ze said, “I’m not wearing a wristband.”
Between two alphas, a wristband was more essential than a condom. Xu Ze tried to get up to retrieve his wristband from the suitcase but Lu Heyang held his shoulder, “I’m wearing it.”
Lu Heyang knelt between Xu Ze’s legs and sat up, adjusting his wristband to the highest setting. Then he unbuckled the training uniform belt and pulled it out.
Using the folded belt, he not-so-gently spanked Xu Ze’s butt, making a resounding smack. As if to confirm Xu Ze’s condition, Lu Heyang called him, “Dr. Xu.”
Xu Ze’s breathing became heavier. His voice was hoarse with either nervousness or excitement, “Mn.”
…
It was past two in the morning. The entire base was completely quiet with only the rhythmic light from the searchlights cutting through the gaps in the window curtains. Lu Heyang came out of the bathroom while drying his wet hair. The sheets and blankets had been changed, and there was a lump under the blanket on the left side of the bed.
Lu Heyang went over to lift the blanket, but Xu Ze held it tightly and covered his face.
“Do you still feel uncomfortable?” Lu Heyang asked with concern.
“…” Xu Ze mumbled hoarsely, “Yes.”
Even though he didn’t freak out due to involuntary leakage during sex, it didn’t mean that Xu Ze found it easy to accept.
The thought of Lu Heyang seeing all of it was unbearable to Xu Ze. As for the incoherent words he had uttered during those seconds when he lost control due to overstimulation, it was probably due to his brain’s protective mechanism, Xu Ze couldn’t remember a single word of it. He sincerely hoped that he would never remember it, in fact, it would be even better if Lu Heyang could forget it as well.
Lu Heyang dimmed the table lamp, “Lights off.”
Xu Ze scuffled and peeked out. After a moment of staying still, he asked, “Should I go to the medical department’s dorm to sleep?”
“No.” Lu Heyang lifted the covers and got into bed.
Lying in the same bed with Lu Heyang was a rare experience. Time was always tight during high school and Lu Heyang usually didn’t stay long. Xu Ze had gotten used to that pattern.
Xu Ze’s face was burning. Lu Heyang touched his cheek with his hand and leaned down to kiss him. Xu Ze felt his eyelids getting heavy and was on the verge of falling asleep. He held Lu Heyang’s hand and asked, “What time do you get up?”
“Usually seven.”
“Not many hours left,” Xu Ze expressed his concern wearily.
As Lu Heyang lay down, Xu Ze opened his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, then closed them again and moved closer to Lu Heyang.
The night wasn’t restful. Lu Heyang woke up in the middle of the night and found an empty space beside him. Xu Ze had curled up on the edge of the bed with his back to him. Lu Heyang reached out to pull Xu Ze’s arm to turn him over. Xu Ze, half-awake, touched Lu Heyang’s wrist with some doubt and shifted back to his side.
Within a few minutes, Xu Ze fell back asleep. But Lu Heyang stayed awake for a long time and didn’t fall asleep until dawn.
When Xu Ze woke up, he was the only one left in the room. Despite his mental preparation, the fact that the clock showed it was noon was beyond what Xu Ze had expected. He had never slept so late.
Every muscle in his body ached. Xu Ze lay still for a moment, then slowly got out of bed and put on his pants. The old sweater was lying next to the bed. Xu Ze picked it up and realized that it was no longer a complete piece of clothing.

Lu Heyang opened the door a little further. Xu Ze walked past him, his shoulder brushing against Lu Heyang’s chest as he left the room.
Xu Ze pulled out a shirt from his suitcase and buttoned it up. One button was slightly crooked, but he didn’t notice. He sat down at the dining table and watched Lu Heyang unpack the food delivery.
Xu Ze ate quietly and quickly without eating much. Lu Heyang took out a bottle of freshly squeezed juice and gave it to him with a straw. Xu Ze took a few sips and asked, “Are you going to take a nap?”
“I won’t,” Lu Heyang didn’t mention that he had gotten up at eight this morning so as not to add to Xu Ze’s guilt.
The communicator on the coffee table beeped and Lu Heyang went to check the message. Xu Ze thought for a moment before following him with the juice and stood by the sofa.
After replying to the message, Lu Heyang looked up and put his hand on Xu Ze’s waist. Xu Ze took half a step forward and ended up sitting face-to-face on Lu Heyang’s lap.
“Is it good?”
“Mn.” Xu Ze hesitated, then offered the straw to Lu Heyang, “Do you want a sip?”
Lu Heyang took a sip and said, “If you like it, I’ll have someone bring more tonight.”
Then he put down the communicator. Lu Heyang reached out between their bodies to unbutton the bottom button of Xu Ze’s shirt and then proceeded to unbutton the second.
At first, Xu Ze didn’t react, but after a few seconds, his whole body stiffened and his breathing became faster. He turned his head to look at the balcony. The sun was shining brightly. As Lu Heyang was about to unbutton his shirt halfway, Xu Ze held down his hand.
“Don’t move.” Lu Heyang didn’t lift his head.
Xu Ze let go of his hand and remained still.
With all the buttons unbuttoned, the skin on the front of his body felt cool, but his ears were hot. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he nervously asked, “Here?”
“Your buttons were crooked, didn’t you notice?” Lu Heyang straightened Xu Ze’s collar, aligned the buttons to button them, and then asked, “What’s here?”
This made Xu Ze feel very ashamed. He shook his head and mumbled, “Nothing.”
But Lu Heyang smiled subtly, no longer buttoning Xu Ze’s shirt. He looked at him and asked, “Want to do it here?”
…
The communicator rang so loudly that it was about to break. Xu Ze, who was sprawled on top of Lu Heyang like a big stuffed animal, reminded him with difficulty, “Aren’t you going to answer?”
Lu Heyang lazily opened his eyes. His right hand dangled down from the sofa, reaching for the communicator on the carpet. Just as Xu Ze was about to get up to avoid hearing the conversation, Lu Heyang pressed the answer button.
In fact, he hadn’t pulled out from Xu Ze’s body, so Xu Ze, trembling with fear, kept his breathing light. While answering the call, Lu Heyang used his fingers to fiddle with Xu Ze’s eyelashes. Upon picking up the panic signals in Xu Ze’s eyes, Lu Heyang switched to rubbing Xu Ze’s lower lip, his fingers delving into his mouth and meeting the wet tip of his tongue.
Xu Ze was stressed. His upper body was numb from the vibration of Lu Heyang’s chest when he spoke. However, Lu Heyang’s volume was normal, and eventually, Xu Ze realized that it was his own heartbeat that was beating too hard.
After ending the call, Lu Heyang moved the finger that Xu Ze was biting and said, “Relax.”
Xu Ze immediately relaxed his mouth, but Lu Heyang’s other hand traced down his back to his tailbone, “I meant here.”
Around two o’clock, Lu Heyang tucked the washed Xu Ze back into bed and left the dormitory. Xu Ze hazily thought that he hadn’t checked his phone for a long time and wondered if he had missed any important messages. However, he couldn’t remember where he had put his phone.
He decided to take a nap because he felt exhausted. It was rare for Xu Ze to have such a lazy thought, and he closed his eyes.

“Colonel, today’s monitoring training will begin at nine.”
Lu Heyang finished approving the last document and responded, “Okay, I won’t go.”
“Do you have something else?” Song Yuke remembered that Lu Heyang shouldn’t have any other plans for the evening.
“Nope,” Lu Heyang said, “I’m going back to the dorm to rest.”
Song Yuke found Lu Heyang’s behavior over the past few days bizarre. Normally, he didn’t return to the dormitory during the 24 hours of the day except to sleep at night. But this morning he arrived at the office over an hour later than usual, returned to the dormitory at noon, and even attended the afternoon meeting on time. Now it was just eight o’clock, and Lu Heyang said he wanted to go back to rest.
This made Song Yuke feel alarmed and worried that something was wrong with Lu Heyang. He didn’t dare to ask directly, so he only cautiously said, “Okay, get some rest.”
When Lu Heyang returned to the dormitory, Xu Ze was sitting on the sofa and working on a laptop. When Xu Ze saw him enter, he set the computer on the coffee table and stood up, “So early.”
He remembered from their previous phone calls that Lu Heyang was usually still in the office or command center around 11-12 in the evening.
“If it’s too early, I can come back later.”
“No,” Xu Ze said immediately, “I’m just worried that it might affect your work.”
“I’m not that inefficient,” Lu Heyang smiled, “Did you have dinner? Did they bring you juice?”
“I had dinner, and yes.”
“Mn,” Lu Heyang took off his training cap and looked at Xu Ze, “I’ll take a shower.”
During the moment they locked eyes, Xu Ze looked away, but after a while, he glanced back and found that Lu Heyang was still staring at him. Xu Ze’s throat felt strangely itchy, and his voice trailed off as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Heyang didn’t answer right away and continued to stare at Xu Ze for a few seconds before asking, “Join me?”
Despite feeling sore in his waist and legs, Xu Ze had already walked over to Lu Heyang before thinking about it as if he had been completely enchanted.
The worried Song Yuke planned to check on Lu Heyang after the monitoring training ended. He had sent the training data to Lu Heyang a few minutes ago. Lu Heyang had replied which indicated that he was still awake.
What could have caused the Colonel to return to the dormitory at around eight and still not be asleep? Song Yuke couldn’t figure it out. He grabbed a basket of fruit and drove to Lu Heyang’s dormitory.
When Song Yuke got off the elevator, he happened to see Lu Heyang placing a garbage bag outside the door. Lu Heyang was wearing only a pair of pants and looked like he had just taken a shower.
“Colonel,” Song Yuke jogged a few steps, “You haven’t slept yet?”
A bit surprised by Song Yuke’s sudden appearance, Lu Heyang paused, “Mn, what’s up?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, just—”
The second half of the sentence was cut off by footsteps coming from inside the house. Song Yuke stared blankly at the other alpha who appeared in his line of sight and was unable to react for a moment.
It was dark as the living room was unlit. Only the entrance light was on, casting a vague glow that revealed that Xu Ze was wearing only a pair of sweatpants and was shirtless like Lu Heyang. Xu Ze had a great figure, both mature and slender. His neck and chest were covered with ambiguous marks, and even his nipples were swollen. For the first time, Song Yuke experienced a subtle feeling of shyness when looking at an alpha’s body. He had never understood so clearly what “after the deed” meant.
Xu Ze wasn’t wearing a wristband and was emitting pheromones. It was impossible for an S-level alpha to let pheromones go so uncontrolled under normal circumstances.
Xu Ze was even more stunned than Song Yuke. He had just heard Lu Heyang’s voice inside and thought that Lu Heyang was talking to him. So he came out to check, never expecting to run into Song Yuke.
If he turned around and went back in now, he would only look like a fool. Xu Ze could only stand there and do what he did best—space out.
“Ha…” Song Yuke finally found his vocal cords, “Dr. Xu, you’re here too.”
Everything had an answer. Colonel Lu didn’t have any problems at all. The problem was in his own brain. Song Yuke had assumed that Lu Heyang had sent Xu Ze out of the base yesterday, but as it turned out—
Taking it a step further, the question of why Lu Heyang went to the battlefield to find him also became clear.
“I just got a batch of fresh fruit, so I brought some over,” Song Yuke wasn’t sure what he was saying, “Colonel, you and Dr. Xu should get some rest. I’ll go wash up.”
“Thanks.”
Lu Heyang took the fruit and turned sideways to hand it to Xu Ze. Song Yuke saw a few red scratches on Lu Heyang’s back.
The door closed and Song Yuke left with a battered soul. Xu Ze, who was holding the fruits, looked at Lu Heyang uneasily as if he had done something wrong and asked, “What should we do?”
“What do you mean?”
Xu Ze suspected that Lu Heyang was asking deliberately, but he wasn’t sure. He reminded Lu Heyang, “I’m an alpha.”
“I know.” Lu Heyang countered, “Weren’t you before?”
No one was more concerned about this matter than Xu Ze. He said, “It’s not good if people know you’re with an alpha.”
“Really?” Lu Heyang tilted his head slightly as if he was smiling but also wasn’t, “If it’s not good, then why are you still with me?”
“I don’t think it’s bad, but others might.” Xu Ze’s thoughts were muddled. He wasn’t ready to discuss this with Lu Heyang because once they started, the balance would be broken and Xu Ze was reluctant to do so—Lu Heyang had only recently regained his memories.
“So it’s better to keep it a secret.” Xu Ze braced himself and struggled to phrase his words, “No need to let others know until you…”
“Until I marry an omega one day?” Lu Heyang finished the sentence for him.
Xu Ze didn’t say yes or no. He had thought about it but had never really expected it.
“Are you going to abandon me, Xu Ze?” Lu Heyang continued to ask, neither angry nor impatient.
The question was ridiculous. Xu Ze was stunned and replied, “How could I?”
“Well, others will find out eventually,” Lu Heyang said calmly, “We can keep it a secret for now, but how do you plan to hide it when we get married?”
—
On the third night, Xu Ze went to Chi Jiahan’s birthday party. Lu Heyang was in a meeting so he arranged for a driver to take Xu Ze to the restaurant.
Xu Ze’s mind was working slowly. He felt like he had regressed, experiencing the most idle days in so many years—doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and being slept with.
So much so that during the party, Chi Jiahan shook Xu Ze’s shoulders a few times and said, “Wake up.”
“You’ve been ruined by Lu Heyang,” Chi Jiahan was drunk but very serious, “Isn’t it terrifying that he locked you up in the air base for several days before letting you out!”
Only the name “Lu Heyang” would attract Xu Ze’s attention. He replied, “He didn’t lock me up.”
“You’re beyond help,” Chi Jiahan said.
Chi Jiahan’s phone rang and he picked it up, “Hello, who is this?”
He Wei heard that he was drunk and said, “Your boyfriend.”
Chi Jiahan sneered coldly and hung up the phone. A friend beside him asked, “Who was it?”
“A scam call,” Chi Jiahan said.
After the party ended, Chi Jiahan was seized by He Wei, who was wearing a police uniform. He Wei accused Chi Jiahan of drinking too much while helping him fasten his seatbelt. Chi Jiahan leaned back in the seat and squinted at He Wei. Suddenly, amid He Wei’s chatter, Chi Jiahan leaned over and kissed him.
He Wei was stunned and remained silent for a few seconds. Then he held Chi Jiahan’s face and kissed him back. After kissing him for several minutes, he wasn’t scolded or beaten.
“You think this is fun don’t you?” Chi Jiahan wasn’t angry, but He Wei seemed to have kissed himself angry, he said, “Playing around like this, do you find it interesting?”
Chi Jiahan didn’t answer. He Wei, unhinged but still amused, kissed Chi Jiahan’s face and said foolishly, “Anyway, I find it very interesting.”
“…” Chi Jiahan was speechless.
As He Wei was about to start the car, he looked outside and said, “Hey, isn’t that Xu Ze? Should we invite him along?”
“Oh, someone is coming to pick him up.”
The more He Wei looked the more he felt that it was fishy, “What’s going on? Heyang is picking him up? Wait, I’ll go down and say hello.”
Chi Jiahan dragged him back, “No rush, look again.”
“Look at what?” He Wei was puzzled, “Could it be that Yunchi will show up later?”
Gu Yunchi didn’t show up, but He Wei witnessed Lu Heyang wrap his arms around Xu Ze’s waist and lean down to kiss the corner of his mouth.
“…” After a long time, He Wei slowly turned to look at Chi Jiahan, “They’re acting, right?”
