Maintenance

"I'd advise you not to go." Xue Jingshu's tone was grave. "An alpha in his susceptible period has very weak self-control. He won't be able to stop himself from completely marking you."

Hearing that, Zhou Zhou also tried to persuade him. "Yeah. He took the initiative to avoid you because he didn't want to hurt you. Even if it's bound to happen sooner or later, now definitely isn't the right time."

A complete mark could not have any barrier between them. Once the bond formed and the marking was complete, Duan Xu would definitely become pregnant.

As Duan Xu listened to their advice, he instead thought of the voice in Shen Yanlang's heart that night. So he had already been in his susceptible period then. He had been desperately holding himself back, refusing to mark him.

The three of them were all somewhat surprised. They had thought they would need to persuade him for a long time, but Duan Xu was not as stubbornly determined to find Shen Yanlang as they had expected. For a moment, they did not know what to say.

After a stretch of silence, Xue Jingshu said he had to deal with the forum matter and hung up first.

Duan Xu blinked hard to force away the tears in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I'll deal with the forum matter too."

Duan Xu changed his nickname to his real name as well, then posted a long message on the forum.

Duan Xu: [First, Shen Yanlang has never done anything
