Shen Dai got the news of You Xinghai’s injury. It was determined that he was going to have his glands removed.

Removing the glands not only means that You Xinghai will become a beta, but the damage to the body is also irreversible. The biggest difference between AO and beta is that there are more hormones such as pheromone in the body. If any hormone is removed from a person’s body, the impact on health will be huge and even life-threatening. In the following years, hormone injections and oral drugs would be used to allow the body to complete this difficult transition. Various complications may occur in the middle of it since the body functions are not as good as it was before. Some people even need to be medicated for life.

When he thought that Qu Moyu might face such serious consequences when he was stabbed in the glands, Shen Dai couldn’t bear it. At that moment, Qu Moyu must be able to avoid the blade but he chose to bear it in order to protect him and Qiuqiu. Or perhaps it was done to compensate himself. In short, this choice was shown to him by Qu Moyu sincerely at great risk.

Fortunately, Qu Moyu is recovering. While You Xinghai…

Thinking of You Xinghai and Shen Qin, Shen Dai has mixed feelings. Based on You Xinghai’s injury, Shen Qin’s sentence will definitely not be low. Qu Moyu’s lawyer plans to use mental illness as defense. The best result will be him locked in a mental hospital and it is very likely that he will never come out again.

For Shen Qin to have such a desire to plunge the knife, Shen Dai is afraid that he must have been thinking about doing it for a long time. What Shen Qin hated the most was that You Xinghai abandoned him in chaos and he did not ‘mark’ him. And he later fell in love with a liar whom he obeyed every word because the other party promised to ‘mark’ him.

It was also because he saw too much messiness from his own biological omega father that Shen Dai once rejected his own omega gender for a period of time. He was quite resistant to the behavior of ‘marking’ for breeding. Sadly, he could not defy his nature and he was ‘marked’ by Qu Moyu. In the various entanglements with Qu Moyu, every time he saw Shen Qin’s shadow in himself, it was his most painful and shameful moment.

Fortunately, he did not get lost in the illusion of relying on others to prove his self-worth. But Shen Qin never came out of his own illusion.

Perhaps making You Xinghai lose his glands and his ability to ‘mark’ anyone would break the obsession for Shen Qin that had tormented him his whole life.

When he got this news, Qu Moyu had been staying at Shen Dai’s place for a week – he wouldn’t leave.

Qu Moyu is really busy. There are documents that he must read and he often has to go out to socialize. Shen Dai also often works overtime. In addition, he has to take care of Qiuqiu. When they get along and live together like that, they start to know the greatest extent of each other outside of work and social interaction.

Therefore, Qu Moyu was stubborn. He moved in rationally and shamelessly. Since he moved there, in order to take care of him, Aunt Lan also moved in. Originally, this large flat was still a bit empty, but now it is very lively.

After talking on the phone with the attorney, Shen Dai was silent for a long time. Qu Moyu sat next to him.

“It sounds like the attorney is very confident.” Shen Dai asked Qu Moyu for certainty. “Right?”

Qu Moyu nodded: “Don’t worry. I hired the best attorney. Shen Qin’s mental illness came from a long time ago. This evidence is very favorable. The attorney said that he is 80% sure that he will not let Shen Qin go to jail.”

Shen Dai sighed: “I watched him and You Xinghai at a war since I was a child. It has made a mess out of my own life. I wondered at one point what the ‘mark’ meant to even deserve his madness.”

“I see. He’s giving you a bad example.”

“I don’t have many good examples around.” Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu, “For example, your parents. Your mother couldn’t forgive your father because she lost her first child. But she couldn’t leave him because of the ‘mark’.”

“Yeah, when I was a child, I also complained why she didn’t accompany me and ignore me. Later, when I grew up and met you, I could finally understand her dilemma better.”

“So I always think that ‘marking’ is not the final answer.”

Qu Moyu put his arms around Shen Dai’s shoulder: “You are right. ‘Marking’ is not the final answer. We are different from them and the deepest connection between us is our heart.”

Shen Dai smiled and glanced at Qu Moyu: “Do you really think so? Or are you just saying that to coax me?”

“I really think so. I used to think that ‘marking’ is the most important thing. I also thought that as long as I was willing to give my ‘mark’, it would be my greatest sincerity. As a result…” Qu Moyu smiled helplessly, “You are not moved. You even told me that if I ‘mark’ you, you will remove the glands. That sentence hit me so hard. You can’t even imagine.” He would never tell Shen Dai that when he heard this sentence, it was like a thunderbolt shot through his whole body. He fled and ran to a place where he could vent freely, released the most pheromone in his life, and even lay in the hospital for two days due to excessive tiredness and crying.

Shen Dai’s knowledge was a little vague about what happened that day. He was in a chaotic estrus period and his body and brain were overwhelmed by desire. It was good to have a coherent memory, but that sentence must be based on his instinct… …No, it should be said that his self-preservation mechanisms overrode his wild instinct to be ‘marked’ at that moment. Thus, he rejected what an omega in estrus most desired.

“But I only understood that day what can really impress you.” Qu Moyu said, full of emotion.

Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu deeply.

Qu Moyu lowered his head and approached Shen Dai’s face. He spoke with his voice low and hoarse: “If you look at me like this, I will want to kiss you.”

Shen Dai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But he didn’t seem to be able to speak.

Qu Moyu didn’t give him a chance to speak. He kissed his lips directly and tasted it lightly and tenderly.

With a move in Shen Dai’s heart, he gently grabbed the corner of Qu Moyu’s clothes and gave him a generous response.

Qu Moyu was immediately excited. He licked the corner of Shen Dai’s lips: “Ah Dai, your pheromone. I want your pheromone.”

“We’re in the living room, okay?” Shen Dai quietly looked around. He was afraid that the nanny or Aunt Lan would suddenly come out.

“Then let’s go to the room.”

Shen Dai immediately became vigilant: “No. It’s already late today. It’s time to go to bed.”

“But I haven’t done rehab today.” Qu Moyu held his waist tightly, “My doctor said that I have to do rehabilitation every day. You have to guide me to release pheromones every day.”

“Is this what the doctor said or what you said yourself?”

“I paid for the doctor to say so.” Qu Moyu blinked.

Shen Dai felt like he really wanted to hammer him: “Can you be more serious? How can you make me not suspect that you are pretending to be sick.”

Qu Moyu hugged Shen Dai and shook him a little. He then kissed him several times on the face: “It’s all true. I just need your pheromones. I need them every day. Only you can stimulate my glands, make me secrete gland fluids, and release pheromones. If you want me to get better soon, only you can help me.”

Shen Dai stared at Qu Moyu, who also looked at him calmly.

Shen Dai suddenly wrapped his hands around Qu Moyu’s neck. They are cheek to cheek. At the same time, he released a faint scent of the Epiphyllum flowers.

In the face of Shen Dai’s sudden initiative, Qu Moyu was stunned. He didn’t move for a long time. He just took in the breath of the gentle pheromone. It slowly soothed his spirit and flesh.

Shen Dai gently stroked the scar on Qu Moyu’s gland with his fingertips and said softly, “Get well soon.”

Qu Moyu’s nose was a little sore for no reason. He held Shen Dai’s waist tightly, burying his face deeply into Shen Dai’s neck. He was sniffing the scent and feeling it to his heart’s content. It was a blessing for him to be treated gently by his beloved omega.

“Do you feel better?” Shen Dai asked softly.

“Yeah.” Qu Moyu moved his glands slightly, “Did you feel it?”

“Yes.” Shen Dai closed his eyes and he also indulged in the beauty of the pheromones interaction between the two of them. It seemed to touch each other’s souls. He was so moved that he was very sure that at this moment, the two of them had the same feeling.

“Ah Dai, I feel so at ease with you.” Qu Moyu rubbed against Shen Dai’s neck, “This feeling is so strange. Before this, I only thought studying and working were interesting and challenging. But now, I just want to be with you all the time. I just want to go home after work. The focus of my life is completely on you and Qiuqiu.”

Shen Dai couldn’t help but feel moved when he heard these words: “Do you think this is what you want? Is this right for you?”

“Yes.” Qu Moyu answered without hesitation.

Shen Dai secretly told himself from the bottom of his heart that this is what he wants too. It has always been what he wanted. He just didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.

“I want our family to be together.” Qu Moyu paused, “Of course, it would be better if I could sleep with you in the same room.”

Shen Dai opened his eyes.

“Ah Dai, can I sleep in your room today?”

Shen Dai pushed Qu Moyu away: “Today’s rehabilitation is over.”

“Ah Dai…” Qu Moyu held Shen Dai’s waist tightly, “Don’t let me sleep in the guest room anymore. Aunt Lan is going to laugh at me.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qu Moyu’s two arms were made of iron. They were hard and strong. Shen Dai felt that Qu Moyu didn’t seem to exert much force but still, he couldn’t break free from him.

“Come on.” Qu Moyu trapped Shen Dai between the sofa and himself, “give me a chance. Let’s sleep in the same room. I promise I won’t do anything.”

“How old are you? And how old am I? Anyone can do the math. You are too shameless to say such nonsense.” Shen Dai patted his arm, “let me go.”

Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai in disappointment but he slowly let go of his hands.

But Shen Dai didn’t get up immediately. He lowered his head and whispered, “You must get a bite-stopper first.”

Qu Moyu was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes suddenly widened.

“Go to bed early.” Shen Dai got up and walked back to his room quickly. He closed the door. There seemed to be a hint of ebony scent still left on his body. He touched his hot face and no longer suppressed his rapid breathing.
