MWMM Chapter 23: A Bite, It’s Nothing

The moment Yan Yuzhou collapsed into his arms, Shen Ci’s whole body froze.

Feeling the scorching heat of the omega snuggling against his chest, body soft as if boneless, but fingers gripping his sleeve tightly as if entrusting his entire being to him, continuously pressing against him with a burning warmth like a small furnace, it was evident from the symptoms that Yan Yuzhou’s heat period was fierce this time.

Shen Ci held Yan Yuzhou’s body, trying to keep him from falling, but Yan Yuzhou was unresponsive. His legs were weak and his arms wrapped around Shen Ci’s neck, instinctively moving his head towards Shen Ci’s neck.

Feeling the breath near his neck, Shen Ci’s heart skipped a beat. He instinctively pulled Yan Yuzhou’s head away from his neck.

Yan Yuzhou, who was eagerly sniffing, was suddenly pulled away and became instantly upset. His cheeks, already flushed from the heat, turned redder, and even his eyes filled with tears, his face expressing grievance and reluctance.

Looking into his eyes, those rabbit-like eyes full of grievance made Shen Ci’s heart soften. It felt as if a wall within him had crumbled.

He let go of his hold on Yan Yuzhou and allowed him to lean against his neck. Feeling his heavy breath in the hollow of his neck, Shen Ci suddenly remembered that Yan Yuzhou’s pheromones were a perfect match with his.

No wonder Yan Yuzhou felt so miserable. No wonder he, for the first time, did not reject an omega’s closeness.

Though he still felt a psychological barrier against omegas, his body honestly told him that he did not dislike the person in his arms.

One large hand steadied Yan Yuzhou’s increasingly weak body, while the other slowly clasped the back of Yan Yuzhou’s head near his gland.

Smooth, yet burning.

Shen Ci steeled himself and looked intently at the sweaty face in front of him, speaking seriously, “Yan Yuzhou, you can’t go on like this. I might need to temporarily mark you now. Do you agree to let me help you?”

Yan Yuzhou, under his gaze, nodded tearfully.

[Lights Off]

…

Yan Yuzhou was suddenly dumbfounded.

He never expected that Shen Ci’s way of helping him involved this. A manly man like him, being bitten and held at the back of his neck by another man, what was this?

It was like a cheetah in the African savannah holding its prey in its mouth.

Was Yan Yuzhou someone to be treated like a piece of meat?

Thinking of this, he struggled to get Shen Ci to release him. He placed his hands on Shen Ci’s chest, ready to push with all his might, but suddenly felt a warm stream entering his gland at the back of his neck, like in martial arts novels where someone transfers energy to heal another. He felt an energy gradually filling his body, flowing from his neck down his spine, through his flesh and blood, finally reaching his limbs.

Damn, it felt good!

The hands that were about to push suddenly went limp, falling weakly to his sides, and he collapsed entirely into Shen Ci’s embrace.

With a red face, he silently let Shen Ci continue “healing” him. As he quietly enjoyed it, Yan Yuzhou deceived himself by thinking, it’s not really his body, letting Shen Ci take a bite, it’s nothing.

Then, his tormented body quickly signaled its exhaustion, and he felt his consciousness slowly slipping away. His eyelids grew increasingly heavier until he truly fell asleep, losing all awareness.

Xiao Mu waited outside the dormitory for a long time, occasionally staring at the tightly closed dormitory door, while his mind wildly imagined what might be happening inside.

That self-proclaimed lover of Zhouzhou, Mr. Shen, must be pinning Zhouzhou against the wall, then biting his gland. The two of them on the bed, the table, the chair, even in the bathroom, doing…

Unconsciously, his eyes turned red with embarrassment. With a click, the door unlocked from the inside and was opened.

Xiao Mu quickly came to his senses, looking towards the door. The first thing that hit him was the strong scent of undispersed pheromones.

The sharp yet rich scent of black tea filled the air, much stronger than the previous times he had smelled it on Yan Yuzhou.

Worried about being affected, Xiao Mu stepped back a few paces, watching Shen Ci carry the unconscious Yan Yuzhou out.

“Mr. Shen, Zhouzhou, he…” Xiao Mu glanced worriedly at the person in Shen Ci’s arms, concerned.

Shen Ci looked at the person who had long fallen asleep in his arms, his gaze softening, and even his tone became gentle, “He’s asleep.”

Xiao Mu looked at Yan Yuzhou’s tired face as he slept, sympathetically nodded, and said to Shen Ci, “Mr. Shen, you should take Zhouzhou home. Omega heat periods last several days. I can help him take leave from school.”

Shen Ci nodded slightly, not showing much emotion, but unusually said, “Thank you.”

After speaking, he looked again at the person leaning softly against his chest, then walked out.

He carefully placed Yan Yuzhou in the back seat of the car, then got in himself, letting Yan Yuzhou rest his head on his lap. The driver, Xiao Wang, quietly drove, while Shen Ci sat in the back, silently watching Yan Yuzhou’s sleeping face.

For the first time, he found this omega truly beautiful.

Ever since hating his omega mother to the bone over a decade ago, he had never paid attention to the appearance of any omega. To him, the prettier the person, the more dangerous they were, and the more likely they were to betray those who trusted them the most.

So when his grandfather told him that the person with a 100% match with him was Yan Yuzhou, he had no interest in even looking at a photo and agreed immediately.

The first time they met was at the civil affairs bureau for registration; the second time was the same night, signing a prenuptial agreement in the living room.

These days, though they met every day, he had never really looked at him.

Now, this person was lying on his lap, sleeping deeply due to the torment of the heat period, looking innocent and harmless. Shen Ci stared at him for a few seconds, feeling as if his heartstrings were being plucked.

The indescribable comfort of biting the gland earlier washed over him again, making him swallow dryly.

Shen Ci’s gaze shifted from Yan Yuzhou’s face to his neck, the exposed part of the fair neck rising and falling slightly with his breath. He gently touched the back of Yan Yuzhou’s neck, feeling the bite mark he had just made.

Suddenly, Shen Ci felt very happy, feeling joy for the first time from leaving a mark on someone. It was like declaring territory, this person could only be bitten by him.

The phone rang, interrupting Shen Ci’s thoughts about biting Yan Yuzhou. Shen Ci returned to his expressionless face, took out his phone, and saw the caller, his expression changed slightly.

“Old Fan,” Shen Ci answered, speaking to Fan Qidao on the other end of the line.

Fan Qidao responded with a hum, asking, “I heard from Assistant Liang that you couldn’t make it today. What happened?”

As Shen Ci’s doctor for nearly ten years, Fan Qidao was naturally curious about Shen Ci’s unusual behavior.

Shen Ci looked at the person sleeping soundly in his arms, his lips curving slightly, and responded, “Something unexpected came up.”

Fan Qidao replied with an oh, and hearing Shen Ci was fine, was about to hang up when Shen Ci suddenly spoke, “Old Fan, can you come to my house?”

After Fan Qidao asked why, Shen Ci was silent for three full seconds, then spoke in a defeated tone, hoarse and low, “There’s an omega, please help me check on him.”
