Chapter 53 - Gift
Gu Liheng stopped his motion to get up, and his magnetic voice was low and steady as he said, "I won't leave." Then he bent over, reaching out and picked up the water glass from the bedside table, "Drink some water first."
Su Ling obediently drank half of the water from the glass, he could feel that the heat in his body has dissipated a bit. His lips were wet, he pursed it, and chuckled softly, "I can't control my reaction."
Putting down the glass, Gu Liheng rubbed his fingers lightly on the back of Su Ling’s neck, his voice was hoarse as he said, "I can't control myself either."
The scent of their pheromones gets richer in the air. As the two pheromones are mixed together, the temperature rises rapidly, and the gasps could be heard in the room. Su Ling's thoughts were running all over the place, and he can't think properly. Suddenly, he felt a painful sensation from his gland, causing him to open his eyes slightly. A strong but complicated feeling rushed towards him like a tide, and his body couldn't help but trembled.
...
A long time had passed before the room finally quieted down. Su Ling didn't have much energy left, but he was in good spirits. He had never felt such enjoyment before. Lying next to him, Gu Liheng lightly rubbed his soft black hair to ease him from the afterglow. His magnetic voice was much lower than usual, "Are you okay?"
Su Ling slightly moved his palm and raised his index finger up, then put it down again, simulating a nodding action. At the same time, he answered with a soft En. However, he frowned after making the sound, realizing that his voice has become very hoarse. Thinking of what caused it, his face flushed.
Kinda embarrassed.
Gu Liheng took a glance at Su Ling’s face before turning to pour a glass of warm water with a smile in his eyes. After he drank it, he took him to the bathroom to take a bath. When they returned to the bed, Su Ling felt refreshed all over, but he didn't have any energy left, so he fell asleep right away. Looking at Su Ling, Gu Liheng's expression was softer than ever before. He kissed the young man's forehead and move him into his embrace to sleep; a night without dreams.
When Gu Liheng woke up in the morning, he looked slightly startled because he hadn't slept so well for a long time. Lowered his head slightly, he saw that the young man was lying on his side, facing him with his eyes closed. His long eyelashes were slightly upturned, and his white face was healthy and ruddy; very beautiful. The quiet and warm atmosphere made him feel warm from the inside, and he really liked this feeling. He did not make a sound, nor did he make any movements, he just watched the young man sleep. About an hour later, there was a noise coming from the door of the unit. Gu Liheng got out of bed with very light movements and opened the door.
Two of Xian Mo Yu's roots were twisting back and forth at the door and was about to knock the door again. When the door is opened, the roots stop right in time in front of Gu Liheng. Then they twisted towards the empty space on Gu Liheng's left hand, wanted to move into the room. Gu Liheng swiftly grabbed the roots and whispered, "He is resting."
After Gu Liheng got out of bed, Su Ling subconsciously moved towards the area Gu Liheng previously slept on, but he couldn’t find the familiar temperature. His eyelids moved, he stretched out his hand to touch around. Didn’t find anything, Su Ling then opened his eyes. He opened his mouth trying to call for Gu Liheng but realized that he doesn’t know what to call him. ‘President Gu’ sounds too unfamiliar. ‘Mr. Gu’ felt like he is teasing him. ‘Ah Heng’ was what his mother called him, so it felt strange if he says it.
He got up from bed while thinking about random things, then his lack-of-exercise-body immediately expressed its protest against his ‘activity’ last night’. His body was so sore that he couldn't help making a hissing sound.
He really needs to make an exercise plan.
Gu Liheng heard the sound and loosened his grip on the roots. He turned back and walked to the bed with a nervous expression, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Ling pinched his arm and thumped his thigh as he put his hand down, "My whole body is sore. I usually don't exercise that much." As he said that, his ears turned red. Last night, male god was actually quite restrained at first, but he was too enthusiastic. Finally, both of them lost control. It is really scary when an Omega fell into lu-st. Even now, recalling his eagerness and desire for male god at that time makes his heart beats rapidly.
Gu Liheng briefly glanced over Su Ling’s ears and considerately didn’t say anything that would embarrass him. He sat on the edge of the bed and gave him a massage.
One of the two roots was wrapped around Su Ling's wrist, and the other was swayed beside him, looking very happy. In Su Ling’s mind was a picture of two roots entwined with a grass. Su Ling recalled what happened last night, and asked unsurely, "This is the little friend you were looking for last night?"
The roots moved up and down.
That means, when Xian Mo Yu shared his past experience with him last night, his attention was placed on the wrong target? It was not the vines that appeared in his mental pictures, but the grass that he ignored? That’s not right, Xian Mo Yu shared a close-up of the vines before. So he asked, "What did you mean by showing me pictures of the vines yesterday?"
In Su Ling's mind, a picture of friends holding hands appeared again. At the same time, the roots wrapped around his hands exerted a slight force, trying to pull him outwards.
Su Ling glanced at the time, it was almost half-past eight. He grabbed male god's hand and said, "Oh my god, it’s so late right now. Does that means Ye Lei already know what we did?"
"Are you afraid of being known?"
Su Ling said, "No," he cleared his throat, "just a little embarrassed."
Gu Liheng's palm lightly pressed against the back of his neck, and he subconsciously shrank his neck a bit.
Gu Liheng: "Even if you are not late, he will still know," his voice was deep, "you have my scent."
Su Ling: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot." This is not Earth, and he is now an Omega.
Squinting his eyes, Su Ling clasped his hands around male god's neck and sniffed him. Then he complained in dissatisfaction, "You don't have my scent."
"My pheromone has stabilized in the past week, and it will only get out of control for you." Gu Liheng's eyes turned deep.
Su Ling immediately remembered, "Oh, a temporary marking for a longer period of time?"
Gu Liheng nodded.
At first, Su Ling was looked at Gu Liheng. But when Gu Liheng nodded, he couldn't help but looked down, with an amazed expression, "So if w-we do, proceed to permanent marking, y-you will really get a knot?"
Gu Liheng's breathing was slightly hitched, "En." But he didn’t continue the topic, and carried Su Ling to the bathroom, "Do you want me to help you in the bath?"
Su Ling ignored his previous question and spoke quickly, "No, I can do it myself."
A smile flashed in Gu Liheng's eyes, "What do you want for breakfast then? I will order it for you."
Su Ling: "Steamed pork buns, century egg and lean meat porridge, soy eggs."
"How about adding some corns? You should eat some vegetable as well." Gu Liheng suggested.
Su Ling: "Then I may not be able to finish the food."
"Don’t worry, I'm here." Gu Liheng rubbed his soft black hair and went out to get him a change of clothes, before leaving the room.
Su Ling squeezed the roots around his wrist and said, "You go out too."
The roots were loosened and went out. It turned to circle around Gu Liheng; 360 degrees of observation.
Gu Liheng noticed it, but he didn't think much about it. He knew Xian Mo Yu had a high IQ. Thinking that it is just curious, he proceeds to order their meal and ordered the housekeeping robot to clean the room.
In Room No.1, Xian Mo Yu shared the news with its little partner with a hint of melancholy, "My son fall in love so early, he is only 18 years old!"
Lóng Mo Téng: "Stop with your stupid worrying behaviour. He is a human being. Could it be you want him to wait until he’s 300 to get into a relationship? With his grave?"
The limp roots immediately shook, "Hahaha, you are so smart, but now you have to prepare two meeting gifts instead."
Lóng Mo Téng: "Idiot, are they married yet? Are they a family now? What is the rush to give gifts?"
Xian Mo Yu: "What you said makes sense… or are you being stingy and don't want to give them gifts?"
Lóng Mo Téng didn't respond.
Xian Mo Yu: "Oh well, let’s wait until they get married to give a gift to my son-in-law."
Lóng Mo Téng: "You are so long-winded, that's what I planned."
After breakfast, Su Ling and Gu Liheng went downstairs and saw Ye Lei pacing in front of Room No.1. When he saw them, he stopped walking and said to Su Ling, "Go in and have a look, something is wrong. Xian Mo Yu won't let me in."
Su Ling: "What's wrong?"
Ye Lei: "Something suddenly appeared on it."
Su Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked into Room No.1.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xian Mo Yu's red petals and moving roots, as well as some vines with sharp claw-like leaves wrapped around its petals. The vine forms a complete circle in the middle of the petals. At first glance, it looks like it originally grew on the petals. Following the tug from Xian Mo Yu’s roots, Su Ling walked to a red petal. The petal lowered onto the ground, then a leaf of the vine at that petal suddenly enlarged, until it was about the size of a paper fan. The stalk of the leaf broke away from the main vine, and the end with the large leaf was stretched out, dangling in front of Su Ling.
Su Ling was stunned and was about to ask what it meant. Then, a root quickly entangled the leaf and pulled the leaf off, trying to place it into Su Ling's hands. However, when Xian Mo Yu did that, the vine abruptly elongated into a whip-like size and whipped that root.
Lóng Mo Téng was surprisingly angry, "Bas-tard, you dare to destroy my perfect gift-giving action?!"
Suffered a whipping, the root fell limply and loosened its grip on the leaf, "I'm sorry. I was afraid you will regret it. Also, my son doesn't understand what you mean."
The leaf fell down, and Su Ling subconsciously caught it with his hands.
