Want to See Him Make a Fool of Himself?

"...Figures. Nothing good ever comes out of a dog's mouth."

Wan Ying's expression darkened slightly. He clenched his fists, barely resisting the urge to punch the other man into the air.

This guy did not just have a problem—he was seriously sick in the head.

He curled his lips in mockery. "If the Executive Officer wants to experience flying, I can make that happen."

The mint-scented pheromones from his wife reached him before his fist did.

Bian He leaned back to avoid the punch. "Director Wan, don't be so fierce. Be careful, or no Omega will like you."

He kept retreating.

Until he was forced to the edge of a deep pit.

"Is Director Wan so fierce because he hasn't received any soothing? Want me to help you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit the face. If you ruin my face and make me unable to find a pretty Omega, you'll have to take responsibility."

"Why are you still hitting me? I'm tired. I want to rest for a while."

That endless chatter was unbearably annoying.

Wan Ying withdrew his pheromones and stopped attacking.

With a loud crash.

Bian He's foot slipped, and his entire body toppled downward.

"Director..."

Wan Ying's pupils contracted. He instinctively grabbed the other man's arm.

But the force of the fall was too great, and he was dragged down with him.

Falling from such a height, they would be crippled even if they did not die.

Wan Ying gritted his teeth, his gaze searching for anything he could use to break their fall.

They were falling too quickly, and the wind stung his face.

How annoying. Was this guy trying to kill himself and drag him down as a cushion?

"I'm sorry, Director. I got you hurt with me."

Hearing the apology,

Wan Ying released his pheromones. "Instead of saying that, think of how we can survive."

There were trees everywhere around them, yet not a single one where they were falling.

How could there be such a deep cave? It was like a cliff.

A dozen seconds felt like an eternity.

Wan Ying gathered his pheromones to minimize the damage.

He closed his eyes, preparing for the impact.

Just then, their positions switched.

"I got the Director hurt. How could I possibly let you be my cushion?"

Wan Ying's vision went dark as he was forcibly shielded in the other man's arms.

Was this guy insane?

Not only did he tease him with his words, even his actions carried a hint of probing.

Would he not leave him in peace even in death?

If he survived, he would definitely chop this guy's paws to pieces.

This was too humiliating. He had not died while gathering supplies, only to step into empty air while out for a walk and fall to his death.

He could already imagine what a laughable story it would become.

Sure enough, nothing good ever happened whenever he ran into this guy.

He was shielded completely.

He could even hear the other man's heartbeat and smell his pheromones.

Bang!

They hit the ground hard.

Bian He's brows tightened as sharp pain shot through his back.

"Director, are you okay?"

He had originally just wanted to fool around, but things had gone wrong.

Still, getting to hold his sweet, soft master made the injury worth it.

He loosened his embrace.

Wan Ying braced himself and stood up, his expression displeased. "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Bian He looked toward the edge of the cliff. There had just been a figure there.

They could not hold back so quickly.

They had deliberately set a trap, wanting to put his master to death.

Sometimes, even teammates were not entirely trustworthy.

You never knew what they might do. Betrayal could happen at any moment.

Bian He rose to his feet and adjusted his hat. "I'm fine. I'm lucky—I landed on soft ground."

It was just that something had been placed beneath the soft earth.

The poison began to take effect.

Pain spread densely through his entire body, and the sight before him blurred.

He staggered, nearly falling over.

His master's pheromone scent wrapped around him.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Wan Ying caught him in time, his tone impatient.

He had better not find out that this guy was deliberately taking advantage of him.

The thought surfaced, and he glanced at the soft earth on the ground.

There was an extra footprint beside it. Who would come down to a place dozens of meters below for no reason...

The timing of the soft ground was suspicious too. It seemed more like someone had arranged it deliberately.

How could they have predicted where they would appear in advance?

Bian He straightened up and looked toward the height above them.

"Director, how are we supposed to get back up now? We can't possibly spend the night down here, can we?"

"Would you say this counts as sharing hardship and adversity? Add sleeping in the same bed, and we'd be no different from partners."

He was still in the mood to joke. It seemed his body was fine.

Wan Ying suppressed his concern and could not be bothered to retort.

He scanned the surroundings, searching for a workable solution.

Who knew what might appear here in the middle of the night?

The drop was dozens of meters high, and the surrounding walls were all smooth dirt, without even a tuft of grass or tree root to use for leverage. Climbing up barehanded would be difficult.

He could not release any more pheromones, or it would bring his heat forward.

Puppy was not here, so it would be hard to endure.

More importantly, he did not trust the guy beside him not to take advantage of him.

Wan Ying glanced at the person beside him. This guy seemed to be an S-rank Alpha, but apparently he could not teleport.

"Director, I actually brought a rope. You go up first. I trust Director Wan's character—you'll definitely come back to save me."

Bian He stood behind the man and lightly flicked the long rope.

The chain wrapped around the man's waist and was thrown into the air with the force of the swing.

Wan Ying sensed his intention and reacted instantly, releasing a trace of pheromones.

He landed steadily at the edge of the cliff.

He looked down and immediately noticed something was wrong.

This guy was injured.

After falling from such a height, he had deliberately acted foul-mouthed just now to make him lower his guard.

Was he stupid?

And he was supposed to be an Executive Officer?

He had given him the chance?

Wan Ying's fingertips trembled slightly, unable to suppress his emotions.

Too many pheromones spilled out, or perhaps Puppy was not here to soothe him.

He was supposed to leave this guy behind and escape alone.

He could not do that.

He would feel awful either way. The remaining mission was not difficult, so he could leave it to the others.

The thought arose.

Pale blue pheromones enveloped Wan Ying's entire body, wisps of pheromones winding around him.

With the slightest thought, he vanished from where he stood and returned to the bottom of the pit.

Bian He was resting against a tree. Sensing the movement, he watched the man walk toward him.

"Director Wan really is kind. Why did you come back down? Couldn't bear to leave me?"

His teasing voice was weak.

Wan Ying looked at the patch behind him stained red with blood.

"You're hurt so badly. Why didn't you tell me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon a teammate and leave alone?"

"Hold on a little longer. We'll bandage it once we get up."

Wan Ying helped him up, his movements distant yet maintaining a touch of politeness.

He released more pheromones, wrapping the person beside him in them as well.

He raised his eyes toward the night sky, and the color of his pupils changed.

When they appeared again, they were back above.

His hands were stained with blood.

"Rest here for a while. I'll get something from the car."

With that, he was about to leave.

Bian He caught his wrist first. "No need to trouble yourself, Director. Our car isn't far either. I can handle it myself."

What was this guy being difficult about?

A trace of irritation flashed through Wan Ying's eyes. His patience was nearly at its limit.

No matter whose fault it was, this man had been injured in front of him. He should help treat the wound.

His kind intention stopped the instant the other man finished speaking.

He even felt the urge to twist the man's head off.

Bian He tilted his head back slightly, his voice thoroughly punchable. "Director Wan is being so eager. Do you want to see my body?"
