"Baby, why are you crying again?" Liang Shi asked softly.
The tip of his tongue, still wet with sugar, pressed against her gland and gently traced its surface.
The gesture carried a hint of ingratiation, and a touch of threat.
It still works for Omegas who have just finished their heat cycle.
Especially late at night.
Even a very slight movement caused the Omega's body temperature to rise.
Xu Qingzhu was wearing a suspender dress.
Even though it's a coastal city, it's still in the north. After the snow, the weather gets colder, and the indoor heating is very warm.
Especially when two people stay at home for several days, with the blankets just lying around, they don't feel cold at all.
The skirt is plaid; I wonder when Xu Qingzhu bought it.
Liang Shi took clothes out of the closet for her, but it was dark and he couldn't see. He was also in a hurry to take her to take a bath. Her pajamas in the closet were all gone and were hanging on the balcony. They had been washed but were not yet dry.
I could only wear any skirt I could find.
After putting it on, Liang realized the skirt was too short.
But it looks good.
She's somewhat like a JK (high school girl), but not entirely.
Liang Shih was unable to categorize them and could only refer to them as short skirts.
Alpha's forearms have smooth lines and are very powerful; although slender, they don't appear weak.
Xu Qingzhu remained silent, and the room fell quiet.
"Baby~" Liang Shi nibbled her ear, showing his affection.
After a long silence, Xu Qingzhu finally said in a muffled voice, "You said only your wife can feed you candy..."
"So," Xu Qingzhu said with particular conviction, "you won't eat the candy I feed you..."
Liang Shi: "?"
She never expected Xu Qingzhu to think that way, and immediately explained, "That's because you fed me just now."
Xu Qingzhu remained silent, burying her head in the crook of her shoulder.
"Wife," Liang Shi whispered in her ear, "I'll eat."
"What do you want to eat?" Xu Qingzhu asked in a muffled voice.
Liang Shi: "...sugar."
After a while, before Xu Qingzhu could make a move, Liang Shi changed his mind and put her on the bed before she could react.
After a moment's pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "And...you too."
Her ears turned red when she said this.
Even a single piece of candy can spark a multitude of details.
Liang Shi could never win against Xu Qingzhu, and when he thought about many things out of context, they could only be described as absurd.
But the thought of that absurdity makes one's lips curl into a smile.
Even going to see Chen Liuying on a windy day didn't feel like a bothersome thing.
Perhaps because they know that Chen Liuying is an unchangeable force in the original book, they can understand her actions a little better.
However, they would not agree.
We're all adults; if we make a mistake, we have to take responsibility for it.
On his way to the police station, Liang Shi turned on the car music and drove freely through traffic, constantly weaving past other vehicles.
The song "Absurd" happened to be playing in the car.
It's just a sad love song about unrequited love.
Liang Shi changed to a more upbeat song, and he could even hum along a few lines.
When the song reached its climax, Liang Shi realized that he had heard it a couple of days ago.
It was Xu Qingzhu's phone ringtone.
When the bell rang that day, Liang Shizheng and Xu Qingzhu were sitting on the bay window watching the traffic below and Yu Jiang not far away.
Traffic flowed smoothly on Yujiang Bridge, and the lights on both sides of the bridge were on, causing the water to shimmer and reflect light.
Xu Qingzhu's tears shone brightly under the room's light.
Sweat beaded on her nose as she clung tightly to Liang Shi's neck.
It was the mating season, and the night was long.
Eventually, even the bay window cushions became obsolete.
I put it in the washing machine, but it got all wrinkled because of improper operation, so I had to replace it with a new one, just like with a sofa cushion.
It even dirtied a doll that was placed on the bay window.
It must be said that when Xu Qingzhu was nestled among that huge pile of dolls, she looked slender and radiant.
The water in the Yu River flowed past the moonlight, and the view inside the room was even more beautiful than outside.
That day was the day when Liang Shi's pheromones were released at their strongest.
Perhaps it's because the scenery outside is beautiful.
Xu Qingzhu's beauty has always been somewhere between innocent and glamorous. Most of the time, she is not aggressive. But when she gets angry, her clear, doe-like eyes are terrifying and make people afraid to offend her.
But at that moment, her gaze was more tender than the waters of Yu Jiangxia at night.
It's so captivating.
Liang Shi's pheromones intertwined with Xu Qingzhu's pheromones, permeating the entire room and causing both of them to lose their senses.
Later, when Liang Shi was taking a bath, there were several scratches on his waist, and the skin had actually broken.
When the hot water was poured over him, Liang Shi felt a slight stinging sensation.
Xu Qingzhu could barely stand while clinging to her. When Liang Shi accused her of scratches on her fingers, Xu Qingzhu looked up with her misty eyes, her expression somewhat aggrieved.
A weak, powerless hand landed on her own shoulder, and she said with a mix of reproach and complaint, "You're much stronger than me."
The red marks on my shoulder are from pressing with my fingertips, and they look painful.
After taking a bath, Liang Shicai took out a blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment to apply to Xu Qingzhu.
The process of applying the paint made Xu Qingzhu cry.
Xu Qingzhu cried a lot during those days, and Liang Shi had to apply ice to her eyes before she went to work the next day.
After taking inhibitors, Omega's dependence on Alpha will decrease.
But when no Alpha is around, Liang Shi feels sorry for her and does everything for her except feeding her. He even squats down to take her shoes out of the shoe cabinet when she goes out.
Xu Qingzhu felt embarrassed and wanted to dress herself.
As a result, I had to hold my back before I could even bend over. After lying in bed for so long and doing so much, even bending over had become a difficult and painful movement.
Liang Shi patted her on the back of the foot and said, "Don't be stubborn."
Xu Qingzhu glared at her, but it had no intimidating effect whatsoever, so Liang Shi looked at her and smiled indulgently.
"I feel like I've become a useless person." Xu Qingzhu stopped struggling when she couldn't, and let Liang Shi put her shoes on, but her tone was slightly dejected.
Liang Shi retorted, "Eros is a physical characteristic, how can it make someone a cripple?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, Liang Shi half-squatted there and said self-deprecatingly, "If we're talking about useless people, I guess I should be like this. It's been so long since I've worked. Teacher Xu is taking suppressants and still has to go to work, it's really..."
She paused, just in time to put the shoes on Xu Qingzhu, loosely placing Xu Qingzhu's feet down, and looked up, saying slowly and deliberately, "A role model for all."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Xu Qingzhu tried to kick her, but Liang Shi held her down.
Liang Shi brushed his hand over her ankle and stopped her, saying, "Teacher Xu, you're wearing shoes."
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her sideways.
We had no choice but to give up.
I remember that night on the bay window, the two of us just wanted to enjoy the view.
Looking at the melted snow on the road and the scenery of the Yujiang River, no one knows how things suddenly took a different turn.
It shifted in a direction beyond the control of both of them.
There were clearly many opportunities to stop or turn around along the way, but both of them let themselves get lost in it.
Liang Shi's temples were damp with sweat as she asked Xu Qingzhu, "Is it beautiful outside?"
Xu Qingzhu ran her fingers through her hair, her voice choked with emotion, "Not as pretty as you."
From midnight until dawn, as the sky in the distance began to lighten, the two of them were awakened by the cold and returned to bed.
Xu Qingzhu's sweet nothings during her heat.
Even knowing it's not entirely true, hearing it in the moment can still make you feel overjoyed.
Liang Shi never gave Xu Qingzhu the cold shoulder or got angry, not even for a moment when he felt that Xu Qingzhu was being unreasonable.
The next second I saw her face and eyes, all my anger vanished.
If she says another comforting word, that's enough.
Liang Shi will inevitably surrender very soon.
How could he possibly get angry at Xu Qingzhu?
When the bell rang that day, it was already late at night. Xu Qingzhu's crying had turned into soft sobbing, and Liang Shi's voice was hoarse.
The ringing bell shattered the peaceful tranquility of the room, ringing again and again.
Liang Shi wanted to get down from the ground to get Xu Qingzhu's phone, but Xu Qingzhu wouldn't let him.
