A moment later, Duan Xu simply started to whine, "Yan-gege, can you tell me the address? I miss you, I miss you so much."
Shen Yanlang felt his heart was struck by Duan Xu's coquettishness, and he was completely unable to resist. In the end, he could only give him the address and wait for Duan Xu to come find him.
During this time, Shen Yanlang got up and took a shower, wanting to see Duan Xu.
Duan Xu thought the same way and took a shower before setting off.
Shen Yanlang's apartment is located in the CBD area of the city center, and it's not far from him; it only takes about ten minutes by taxi.
As soon as Duan Xu rang the doorbell, Shen Yanlang opened the door with a "whoosh".
Duan Xu looked up at him. He was wearing a black low-cut sweater, and his handsome face appeared somewhat dark in the backlight. His affectionate peach blossom eyes were now bloodshot, the result of not sleeping for two days and two nights.
At the same time, Shen Yanlang was also looking at Duan Xu. He was wearing a thick light blue and white patchwork sweatshirt, his blow-dried hair was fluffy and soft, and his clear almond eyes were looking at him, filled with worry and heartache.
"Xuxu." Shen Yanlang reached out and pulled her in, then hugged her tightly as he closed the door.
Duan Xu hugged him back and quickly tore off his barrier patch, using his pheromones to soothe him.
Shen Yanlang inhaled Duan Xu's pheromones like an addict, finding solace and satisfaction in his inner turmoil.
At the same time, Shen Yanlang's pheromones surrounded Duan Xu, as if Shen Yanlang were embracing Duan Xu.
[Xuxu, my Xuxu...]
The two hugged at the door for a while, then Duan Xu tugged at Shen Yanlang's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go to the bedroom..."
Duan Xu was actually very nervous. It was his first time facing an alpha during his sensitive period. No matter how well he thought it through, he was still nervous, shy, and even a little at a loss.
Shen Yanlang's breath hitched, his eyes darkened, then he released Duan Xu, took the backpack off his back, tossed it onto the sofa, and finally picked him up and strode towards the bedroom.
The door slammed shut...
Although Duan Xu was prepared, he still underestimated the alpha's heat cycle. This time it was even more intense than his first heat. He didn't even know how many days had passed; he hadn't gotten out of bed except to go to the toilet or take a shower.
After waiting for Shen Yanlang to pick up the takeout, Duan Xu checked the time on his phone. Wow, five days had passed, and today was Sunday, which happened to be Shen Yanlang's birthday.
What to do? He didn't even have time to prepare a birthday present for Shen Yanlang.
Shen Yanlang returned with the takeout, set up a small table on the bed, helped Duan Xu sit up, then sat next to him, opened the lunchbox, and fed Duan Xu.
Duan Xu took a bite, then he took a bite.
After finishing their meal, Shen Yanlang packed up his things and sat on the bed, holding Duan Xu in his arms.
Today is the last day of his vulnerable period. The symptoms are not as obvious as before, but he still has the alpha's vicious possessiveness and stays by his omega's side at all times.
"Yan-ge," Duan Xu said apologetically, leaning against him, "Happy birthday, but I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you."
Shen Yanlang hugged him, inhaled his pheromones, and chuckled softly, "You are my best gift."
His laughter was deep and magnetic, sending shivers down Duan Xu's spine. He was too embarrassed to look at Shen Yanlang, and only asked in a low voice, "Are you always at your most vulnerable on your birthday?"
"No." Shen Yanlang placed his hand on Duan Xu cheek, unconsciously stroking it. "His sensitive period is unpredictable; this is the first time it's happened on his birthday."
"Oh." Duan Xu nodded.
If it's always his birthday, wouldn't he always be the one receiving the gift?
Thank goodness.
After a while, Shen Yanlang's hand moved down Duan Xu's cheek and touched his neck, then he raised his hand and pinched his earlobe.
Duan Xu flinched, instinctively dodging, "You, you better not pinch me."
This action displeased the alpha. His eyes darkened, and he forcefully pulled the person back, saying in a deep voice, "Don't dodge!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Xu Duan Xu realized what was happening, then obediently stayed in his arms, gently stroking his chest as if to soothe an angry old man, "I won't dodge, I definitely won't dodge anymore."
Shen Yanlang: "..."
[A good opportunity.]
Duan Xu: "???"
Shen Yanlang snorted lightly, "I'm very unhappy, you have to coax me."
"Huh?" Duan Xu was stunned. Seeing Shen Yanlang's expression that looked like he wanted a hug, he was immediately charmed. He never expected that Shen Rascal could be so cute!
Duan Xu quickly hugged him tightly and even gave him a kiss. "Yan-ge, that was just my body's instinctive reaction. I didn't mean to avoid you. Don't be upset."
Shen Yanlang hugged Duan Xu Duan Xu, a smirk playing on his lips, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes.
[Xuxu really loves me. I pretend to be unhappy, and she immediately throws herself into my arms and kisses me. Later on, she might...]
Duan Xu paused in his attempt to coax someone, "..."
Shen Yanlang, you're amazing!
As night fell, Shen Yanlang finally recovered from his sensitive period and let Duan Xu go, but he still held onto him tightly.
Before Duan Xu fell asleep, he thought to himself, "Luckily, an alpha's vulnerable period only happens once or twice a year."
After this period of high susceptibility passed, Shen Yanlang endured it all. Although he seemed crazy, he did not actually mark Duan Xu completely, but only gave him a temporary mark.
He still felt sorry for Duan Xu and couldn't bear to see him drop out of school and get pregnant so early. His love and concern for him made him restrain his instincts as an alpha.
This is what moved Duan Xu these past few days, so no matter how crazy Shen Yanlang, or how much he complained in his heart, he didn't make any move to resist or refuse.
Duan Xu fell asleep, so Shen Yanlang took out his phone and replied to everyone who wished him a happy birthday, and then called home.
Ye Lan answered the phone. After hearing what had happened, she couldn't help but worry, "You silly child, how could you really let him come? How is he now? Is he alright?"
"It's nothing, he's asleep." Shen Yanlang looked down at Duan Xu, a faint smile on his lips.
Ye Lan sighed, thinking that Shen Yanlang could restrain himself from fully marking Duan Xu even during his sensitive period, which meant he was deeply in love with Duan Xu. Since that was the case...
"You can't do that again next time. If something unexpected happens, I'll be heartbroken for you," Ye Lan warned first, before saying, "How about this, you two get engaged first."
"Okay." Shen Yanlang thought for a moment, "How about during summer vacation? I can meet with your aunt and uncle during summer vacation and discuss the specifics together."
Ye Lan thought it was a good idea, "Okay, I'll have your dad and brother set aside time in advance."
"Hmm." Shen Yanlang and Ye Lan hung up the phone after exchanging only a few words.
Putting down his phone, Shen Yanlang lay down and hugged Duan Xu, staring at him intently.
Duan Xu has a good sleeping posture and is very well-behaved, not moving around. At this moment, he is sleeping on his side, looking so quiet and gentle that he is An'an docile.
