Su Ling tapped at his bracelet and tried to contact Dou Dou, but there was no signal. Beside him, Gu Liheng had a dark face as he ordered his people to search around the villa. At the same time, he asked his men to bring up all the surveillance recordings around the villa area and watched them with Su Ling. The surveillance showed that Dou Dou and Xian Mo Yu disappeared shortly after entering the mountain. A thought moved in Su Ling’s heart, and he thought of the time he met Xian Mo Yu for the first time. Getting up, he walked out, “Let’s go to the mountain area to take a look.”

The two followed the direction where Dou Dou and Xian Mo Yu last seen, and soon they found a sunken ground.

Su Ling frowned, “It looks like it took the underground route.”

Lóng Mo Téng, which was wrapped around his wrist, stretched out its vine and moved to the ground, “They went from here, come with me.”

With Lóng Mo Téng leading the way, Su Ling was a little relieved, but Lóng Mo Téng did not stop even though it’s getting dark. Along the way, Xian Mo Yu left no traces except for occasional sunken areas on the ground.

…

“Grandpa Xian, how long will it be?”

Xian Mo Yu emerged from the ground again, and opened its petals, revealing Dou Dou lying on the stamens. Dou Dou asked the question while breathing in the fresh air. The roots beside him typed quickly in the computer, “Soon.”

Dou Dou clutched his stomach, “But I’m hungry.”

Hearing that, Xian Mo Yu’s roots stretched out along the edge of the hole, “I will get you some food.”

After a while, the roots dragged a dead rabbit back, and gently placed it at Dou Dou’s feet, “Eat ba.”

Dou Dou poked the rabbit’s white fur with his finger, “I don’t eat fur.”

The top of 2 roots opened up and attached to the rabbit, moving from the head to the tail. Then the white fur was melted, revealing the bright red flesh inside. Dou Dou immediately turned his head and retched. He moved away from the rabbit, and said with a pale face, “There is blood, and it’s not cooked.”

“It’s fine, just eat it.” Xian Mo Yu was quite patient. The stamen on the right side of the rabbit moved and ate half of the rabbit. “Look, I ate it.”

Dou Dou covered his mouth, “We are not the same, Grandpa Xian. You can finish the rabbit, I don’t want to see it.”

After Xian Mo Yu ate the rabbit, the stamens cleaned themselves. With a little complicated feeling, it asked, “What should we do then? Should I take you home?”

Dou Dou: “But I haven’t seen your friend yet.”

Xian Mo Yu: “It’s just a friend’s grave.”

“I want to see it,” Dou Dou patted his belly, “Grandpa Xian, I don’t want to eat meat anymore. I’ll eat fruits.”

Xian Mo Yu sprang out its roots and quickly returned with several kinds of fruit. Dou Dou took it in his hand and looked through it, “Why are there holes in each of the fruits?”

Xian Mo Yu tapped at Dou Dou’s forehead lovingly, “Gotta get the ones eaten by the birds to make sure that it is not poisonous. Isn’t Grandpa Xian smart?”

Dou Dou nodded, “Awesome and smart.”

The praise made Xian Mo Yu shook its roots joyfully.

Taking a knife from his backpack, Dou Dou peeled off the skin of the fruits. Then he weighed the peel and looked around the petals: “Grandpa Xian, I can’t throw the peel out.”

Xian Mo Yu: “No need to throw it away, put it in the stamen.”

Dou Dou put the peel on the stamen, and the stamen moved slightly, then the peel disappeared.

Dou Dou stared for a while and sighed in admiration, “Grandpa Xian, you are so easy to raise. You are not a picky eater at all.” He said as he gnawed at the fruit happily.

When Dou Dou is full, he poked his bracelet and said, “What should I do? There is no signal here. Dad will be angry if he doesn’t see me.”

Xian Mo Yu confidently replied, “With me following you, your father will feel relieved.”

Dou Dou: “En, Grandpa Xian is right, let’s go on.”

Xian Mo Yu’s petals closed and carefully wrapped Dou Dou in the middle as they slowly sunk into the ground. After their figure disappeared, countless roots appeared to push the gravel and soil around into the hole. Xian Mo Yu didn’t fill the hole completely, but it didn’t care and moved forward quickly.

…

Su Ling looked tired as they walked behind Lóng Mo Téng all the way to the forest. Right now, they have reached the outside of Belle City’s area, in a deserted forest. He frowned slightly, “Where are they going?”

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling and handed him a bottle of water. He has given up the idea of persuading Su Ling to go home first, “Let’s take a rest. For now, they are all safe.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “I realized where they are going! We are almost here.”

…

“Grandpa Xian, is this the place?” Dou Dou asked as he lay on the top of the petals, his head stretched out to look at the ground.

Xian Mo Yu spreads its petals flat, and the roots extended everywhere, “It’s here.”

Dou Dou: “Where is your friend?”

Xian Mo Yu: “I haven’t found it yet. It was burnt and wilted at the time. Grandpa Long and I buried it here. It has been so many years now, I guess it may have been buried by fallen leaves. I will look for it.”

Xian Mo Yu skillfully typed with one root, while the other roots looked around. After searching on the ground and found no traces, the roots went down 10 cm to search. Then it went down 10 cm more.

Here are the depths of the forest, the moonlight is blocked by tall trees and one side is pitch black. Only Xian Mo Yu petals are glowing reddishly. Dou Dou laid on the edge of the petals with his chin in his hand, looking around with curious eyes. The forest is stretched out in front of him and occasionally there will be a flash of green light. Before he could make a sound, the green light would quickly move away and disappeared. Dou Dou knew it was a beast in the forest, but with Xian Mo Yu here, he is not afraid at all.

Suddenly, colorful rays appeared in the peripheral of his sight. Dou Dou stuck his little head out and looked to the right, but he didn’t see anything. He could only see from the shadow that there is a big tree growing there. He patted the petals and said, “Grandpa Xian, I want to go down.”

Xian Mo Yu lowered its petals, and wrapped a root around Dou Dou’s waist, “Don’t fall down.”

“En.” Dou Dou slid from the petals to the ground and ran straight to the right. After running two steps, he got tripped by the weeds and fell forward. The roots lifted him up in time and put him firmly on the ground.

“Thank you, Grandpa Xian.” Dou Dou was not surprised, but rather excited. The roots rubbed his head as a reply.

Dou Dou continued to walk, and suddenly, the colorful light lighted up again and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Dou Dou’s eyes brightened, and he ran towards the direction quickly. There was excitement in his tone as he said, “Grandpa Xian, I saw a rainbow.”

When Dou Dou arrived at the location, he squatted down and turned on the flashlight function from his bracelet. What he saw is a plant growing between the 2 tree roots. The petals looked succulent and overlapped into 7 layers of petals. Each layer has different colors and it looks very beautiful; like a lotus, “Wow, it’s…”

Before Dou Dou could finish speaking, the plant seemed to be startled into consciousness. Suddenly, colorful rays of light burst from the plant, and at the same time a delicate fragrance drifted out. Dou Dou’s small body softly fell but didn’t hit the ground. He was supported by the roots in time and slowly placed on the ground.

“Axxhole!” A root raised up and heavily whipped at the plant. “Quickly wake Dou Dou.”

“Ah, Ah Xian?” The colorful rays of light quickly flickered, “Wuuu…I finally see you again.”

Xian Mo Yu: “We will talk later. Wake Dou Dou up first.”

The fragrance in the air dissipated and turned into a cool and sweet smell. Soon, Dou Dou opened his eyes.

“Grandpa Xian?”

A root rubbed at Dou Dou’s cheek, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Grandpa Xian is here, and this is your Grandpa Qi.”

Dou Dou blinked, “This is your friend, Rainbow Buddha Lotus (qī cǎi fó lián)? But didn’t Grandpa Xian say it’s dead?”

The lotus exudes colorful light as it replies, “I have to absorb the nutrients around for a long time before I could finally sprout again.”

Dou Dou couldn’t understand what the Rainbow Buddha Lotus said so Xian Mo Yu helped to type out the message.

Seeing that, the Rainbow Buddha Lotus was filled with enthusiasm, “Ah Xian, what is this? You are so amazing, you can write human words!”

The roots swayed in the air, “Of course, I am great. I will take you back. Ah Lóng must be very happy to see you.”

Within half an hour of their return journey, Xian Mo Yu and Lóng Mo Téng met underground. When they met, Lóng Mo Téng’s leaf unceremoniously slashed Xian Mo Yu’s petal.

Xian Mo Yu felt aggrieved and rose up above ground, “Ah Lóng, you are so fierce.”

“Idiot, stop your stupid accusations! How dare you bring Dou Dou to run around with you? Do you know that your son is worried to death!”

Xian Mo Yu: “WHAT?! Ling Ling is dead?! Impossible, you must be lying to me.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “You should just go die in stupidity. How is Dou Dou?”

Xian Mo Yu spread its petals and Dou Dou could be seen sleeping soundly on the stamens, and there is a lotus-like plant next to his head.

When Su Ling and Gu Liheng arrived, this is what they saw.

Roots rushed to circle Su Ling’s wrist, “Ling Ling, are you okay?”

Su Ling replied, “I’m fine,” he lightly squeezed the roots and added, “Don’t take Dou Dou to this kind of far places in the future.”

“Dou Dou wants to see my friend,” Xian Mo Yu wrapped its roots around the Rainbow Buddha Lotus and moved it to face Su Ling. “This is Rainbow Buddha Lotus. I thought it was dead.”

Then, an image of a big fire appeared in Su Ling’s mind. After the fire, what’s left was a huge lotus with a height of 2 meters. Its whole body was pitch black, and it looked withered. There were also many burnt marks on Xian Mo Yu and Lóng Mo Téng. The 2 plants rushed to the forest with the withered lotus and buried it underground. Su Ling finally understood, it’s no wonder that Lóng Mo Téng doesn’t like humans, as it has had unpleasant experiences with them before.

Regarding the Rainbow Buddha Lotus, Su Ling has a little impression of it. When Uncle Lóng first told him about the effect of the vine liquid, one of the scenes shared with him was that the Rainbow Buddha Lotus suddenly became bigger. Later, Uncle Lóng took the vine liquid back and the lotus shrank to its original size. Now thinking about it, he guesses it should be a joke among the spiritual plant friends.

“Ah Lian!” Lóng Mo Téng wrapped around Rainbow Buddha Lotus and asked, “Aren’t you dead?”

Rainbow Buddha Lotus explained again, “I sprouted again.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “No wonder you are so small now. Do you want to use my vine liquid?”

“No! It’s nice to be so small.”

Gu Liheng hugged Dou Dou in his arms while Su Ling discussed with the plants about transportation. Then he put Xian Mo Yu and Rainbow Buddha Lotus in his space storage, and Lóng Mo Téng remained wrapped around his wrist. After that, Gu Liheng and Su Ling walked to a suitable location for flight and returned using aircraft. Upon arriving at the villa, Gu Liheng asked Su Ling to rest first, and he carried Dou Dou back to his room. In the middle of his sleep, Su Ling dazedly felt a familiar hug so he turned around and hugged male god’s waist. Then he said with a muffled voice, “Tomorrow, I must educate Dou Dou. You are not allowed to stop me this time.”

The next day, when Su Ling woke up, Dou Dou had already finished his breakfast and is happily playing with the spiritual plants in the back garden. The nerve on Su Ling’s forehead twitched, “This kid, he doesn’t look like he is reflecting his mistake at all!”

Gu Liheng: “Don’t be angry, he told me that he knew he was wrong.”

Su Ling glanced at Gu Liheng, “He got spoilt by you.” After saying that, he lowered his head to eat breakfast.

Gu Liheng grabbed Su Ling’s hand and asked, “Ling Ling, are you angry with me?”

“No,” Su Ling sighed. “But Dou Dou will start school this year. If he continues to act lawlessly as he is now, it’s easy to get into trouble.”

With Papa Xian, he could ‘walk sideways’ (be domineering) in the forest, but in human society, he will inevitably be deceived by other people. Su Ling is worried that Dou Dou will forget the lesson and run to another random place next time. After Su Ling finished his breakfast, he asked Domi to call Dou Dou. Then he walked to the living room and stretched out his hand to push Gu Liheng, “You, go back to the room first.”

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling in his arms, “I will accompany you.”

“No, if you are here, how can I educate him?” Su Ling continued to push at Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling and sat on the sofa, “No need to teach him a lesson. He is an Alpha, being bold is good.”

Hearing that, Su Ling glared at Gu Liheng, “Aren’t you afraid that we won’t find him next time?”

Gu Liheng: “It’s okay. I instructed him that Papa Xian must be with him wherever he goes.”

Right now, Xian Mo Yu is following Dou Dou almost all the time while Lóng Mo Téng stays with Su Ling.

“Father, Daddy!” Dou Dou’s figure hasn’t arrived yet and his voice came first.

Su Ling patted Gu Liheng’s arm and Gu Liheng let go of him. Then he sat on the sofa with a calm face. Dou Dou, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cropped trousers, ran into the hall and headed straight for Su Ling. Su Ling didn’t wait for him to pounce on, and softly ordered, “Stop, stand still.”

Dou Dou’s appearance is very good-looking. He is basically a smaller version of Gu Liheng, but softer and cute. Hearing Su Ling’s words, he hurriedly stood still and whispered, “Dad.”

“Do you know what you did wrong?” Su Ling asked.

Dou Dou’s eyes moved around as he thought of it and replied, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t run off to a random place, but I did get Grandpa Xian to go with me. So, it’s safe.”

“Who said it’s safe? You are so small and young, even a branch can hurt you.” Su Ling scolded and said, “Promise me. Promise me that you won’t randomly run off next time, and you will tell me whenever you go out.”

Dou Dou raised his right hand and revealed three fingers: “I promise.”

Su Ling waved at Dou Dou, “Come here.”

Dou Dou’s eyes lit up and rushed into Su Ling’s arms, “Dad, don’t be angry. You won’t be good-looking if you are angry.”

Su Ling humphed, “I’m still your dad even if I don’t look good.” He picked off the leaves from Dou Dou’s hair and ordered, “Go to the fragrance room and face the wall for 30 minutes.”

Dou Dou: “Dad!”

At the side, Gu Liheng coughed slightly and said, “Ling Ling, he already knew he was wrong. So, he doesn’t need to be punished, right?”

Su Ling: “When did he not know that he is wrong?” He put Dou Dou down at the door and sat back on the sofa, “Go.”

There is a soothing fragrance in the fragrance-making room and the environment is very good, so standing for 30 mins is not really a punishment, he just wants Dou Dou to remember the lesson. Of course, for Dou Dou, who likes to jump all the time, standing for half an hour without doing anything is very scary. He acted like a baby and tried all his tricks but Su Ling remained unmoved.

Su Ling: “I will go to your Uncle Xiao’s house with your Father in 30 mins. If you don’t go now, we will head out later, and you will stay at home alone.”

Dou Dou stamped his feet and immediately ran to the fragrance-making room. The little Big Brother in the Xiao family is his best playmate!

Su Ling got up and went to the back garden. Xian Mo Yu spread its petals to bask in the sun, and Lóng Mo Téng is resting on the petals, while the Rainbow Buddha Lotus stood on top of another petal; exuding colorful light.

Such a lovely image!

Su Ling approached and discovered that Rainbow Buddha Lotus is watching cartoon teaching words. A root wrapped around his wrist, and another root wrapped around the Rainbow Buddha Lotus, which is then held in front of Su Ling, “Where is my son’s first meeting gift?”

Before Su Ling had time to be polite, one petal fell from each layer of the lotus. Su Ling couldn’t react in time but Lóng Mo Téng’s leaf suddenly enlarged. It caught all the 7 different petals and handed them to Su Ling.

Su Ling stared at it and carefully gathered the petals, “Thank you.”

The lotus burst into colorful lights, and its aura appeared in Su Ling’s mind, “Good, called me Uncle Qi.”

Su Ling: “… Uncle Qi.”

The colorful light became brighter and the charming fragrance is more intense in the air. Su Ling chatted with the 3 plants for a while, then returned to the living room. He looked at the petals and asked, “Have you heard of the Rainbow Buddha Lotus?”

Gu Liheng: “Yes. It’s a Grade S spiritual plant, very mysterious, with very little information recorded.”

Su Ling: “After we come back at noon, I will study it and see.”

Dou Dou, who has finished the punishment, ran to hug Su Ling happily, “Dad, let’s go to Brother Xiao’s house.”

Lin Meng’s son is also an Alpha and is older than Dou Dou. Like Dou Dou, their son also grew up being pampered by all family members. Together, their destructive power is doubled. After eating lunch, Dou Dou and little big brother Xiao played for a while and finally became tired. Gu Liheng carried Dou Dou and return to the villa with Su Ling.

Su Ling went to the fragrance room to study the petals and was surprised to find that different colored petals had different effects. When he inspected the purple petal, a faint fragrance emanated from the petal and his eyelids suddenly became heavy. Next, he lost consciousness and fainted.

Half-awake, Su Ling seems to hear Dou Dou’s cry. He was startled and quickly opened his eyes.

Dou Dou pounced on Su Ling, “Dad, I will listen to you well in the future.”

Gu Liheng sat on the edge of the bed with a dark face. His eyes locked tightly at Su Ling’s face, and his voice trembling faintly as he called out, “Ling Ling?”

Su Ling blinked and stood up, “What’s wrong with me?”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng breathed a sigh of relief and held onto Su Ling’s hand tightly, “That lotus petal has an effect to render someone unconscious, and you fainted.”

Su Ling embraced Dou Dou and dropped a kiss on him, “Dad is okay now, don’t be afraid.”

Dou Dou wiped away his tears and rubbed his face.

Gu Liheng stared at Su Ling. Then he said with a low voice, “In the future, any new raw materials will be handed over to the people in the research room.”

Su Ling knew male god is worried, and shook his hand, “Okay.”

After the doctor checked Su Ling and confirmed that he is okay, Gu Liheng finally allowed Su Ling to get out of bed. Su Ling contacted Ni An and informed him that he had new materials in his hand. Ni An expressed that he is interested and Su Ling mailed the materials to him.

That night, Gu Liheng fiercely ‘did’ Su Ling. Afterward, he hugged Su Ling tightly in his arms, as if to push him into his bones.

Su Ling panted lightly, and a magnetic voice came from beside his ear, “Don’t scare me anymore.”

Hearing that, Su Ling raised his eyes and met a deep gaze from male god. The image of his(GLH) uneasy expression when he(SL) woke up flashed in his mind. A thought appeared in his mind, male god must be reminded of the time he fell into a coma previously and swapped soul with the body’s owner. Raising his hand, Su Ling circles around male god’s neck and said, “En, it won’t happen anymore.”

This time he was not cautious so it’s his fault. He should ask Uncle Qi regarding the effect of the petals in advance.

Soon after, Tian Ling Fragrance Bar launched a new fragrance, which was widely welcomed by the customers. At the same time, Ni An introduced a new tranquilizer that can keep AO sane during estrus. For Alpha, it is easy for them to get out of control during estrus, and they could easily cause damage to the weak Omega. With this medicine, they can now take care of Omega more carefully. The medicine caused a sensation as soon as it came out. However, the number of new medicines is very small. Although Uncle Qi wants to follow Papa Xian and Uncle Lóng’s tradition to give Su Ling ‘pocket money’ every day, it has only re-germinates and grows up not long ago. Its body is still very small, and it could only shed the petals once a month.

Insufficient raw materials mean fewer finished products, which also makes the price more expensive. Su Ling kept half of the finished medicine, and the other half was put on consignment at Ni An. After he personally used it for the first time, he deeply regretted his decision. He should have put all the medicine on consignment! As expected, the medicine lets the user stay sensible during the estrus period, but will not lessen the feeling of their attraction to each other at all. When one lost their reason during estrus, he relies on his instinct to ‘exercise’. But now that they can stay sensible, they can use more styles to ‘exercise’. As an Omega, Su Ling will not resist his Alpha during estrus. And so, he went into estrus once and ended up opening a whole new world, plus unlocked many poses and toys.

At the end of his estrus period, he rested his fingers weakly on the side of his pillow. Before going to bed, he thought that after waking up, he must push all the medicine to Ni An and prohibit male god from buying it. He will never let male god eat it again! However, when he woke up, the medicine had been stored away by male god.

Gu Liheng hugged Su Ling and rubbed his waist. There is no expression on his face as usual, but his eyes were very gentle as he said, “The effect of the medicine is very good. I will use it in the next estrus.”

Su Ling couldn’t muster much strength as he pinched male god’s hand, “Humph.” Then he turned his head, facing away from male god.

The gesture makes Gu Liheng’s mouth curve up slightly, and he printed a kiss on the back of Su Ling’s neck.

The sunlight outside the window poured into the bedroom, and 2 roots swayed in the air outside the window. The owner of the roots was stretching its petals in the sun and Dou Dou is sitting on top of one petal. The petal swayed up and down, and Dou Dou laughed happily every time he reached the highest point; using the petal as an automatic single seesaw.

On the other hand, Lóng Mo Téng and Rainbow Buddha Lotus stay on the petal beside; one plant teaching the other how to read. A sweet and charming fragrance is exuded in the air, lingering around the entire villa.

After Su Ling became pregnant, many things have changed in his life. For example, his lunch is now specially prepared by a cook every day. Weekend dating activities, such as going to the theme park, climbing mountains, bungee jumping have changed into going to the orchestra and looking at art exhibitions.

In the first 2 months, Su Ling didn’t have the feeling of being pregnant at all. He even had a thought that the doctor’s examination was wrong, and he is not really pregnant. However, after 2 months, his stomach has changed a bit so a sense of reality finally hits him.  Gu Liheng knows very well of his class schedule, so whenever there are experimental classes, especially the last class in the morning, Gu Liheng will definitely contact Su Ling within five minutes the class ended; worrying that he will be too immersed in the experiment.  As for the fragrance-making room at home, he is now forbidden to enter after 6.00 pm. Su Ling was quite unsatisfied with the decision, but he knew that his coma had scared male god so he could only cooperate.

3 months later, it’s time for summer vacation. They originally planned to travel to other planets every holiday, but this time their plan was halted by the pregnancy. Gu Liheng moved his work area to his villa and only will go to the company for very important meetings. He also has stopped going out for business travels.

Sitting on the cushioned recliner, Su Ling is drinking orange juice and watching a movie. Opposite him is Gu Liheng, who is working on some documents. Then, Gu Liheng’s bracelet vibrated slightly. He moved his gaze away from the holographic screen and turned to his Omega, “Have a break now, you have been staring at the screen for an hour straight.”

Su Ling’s eyes were glued to the movie screen as he replied, “It’s okay, I’m not tired.”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng got up and walked to Su Ling’s side. He leaned over to embrace the young man and glanced at the holographic screen. Then he said, “After this scene, rest a bit and watch the rest later.”

Su Ling glanced at Gu Liheng, then his gaze returned to the holographic screen, “I want to finish the movie.”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly, “Ling Ling, be obedient.”

Those words caused the corner of Su Ling’s mouth to twitch. He pressed the pause button, and lightly punched Gu Liheng’s arm. Glaring at him, he said, “I’ve been an adult for many years, so don’t treat me as a child.”

“I di…”

Before Gu Liheng could finish speaking, Su Ling quickly interrupted, “You did! Even a child doesn’t need to watch a movie in 2 parts, and have a break in between.” He humphed, “Do you know that the plots would be incoherent and it’s very uncomfortable to watch?”

Gu Liheng stroked Su Ling’s ears and realized that after the young man became pregnant, he has become more coquettish. He gently persuaded, “Don’t be angry, the doctor said that sitting for a long time is not good, and your eyes should be properly rested.”

Su Ling subconsciously tilted his head and rubbed against the back of Gu Liheng’s hand. The skin contact made him feel warm, and the displeasure disappeared. He stood up and pulled male god’s hand to go out, “I’m not angry, haven’t I told you before? My original identity is also a strong type of person. I’m not weak at all, it’s just you who see me as a weakling.”

“You are Omega now,” Gu Liheng said, “and your current body too.”

Su Ling: I can’t refute that.

The two walked around the villa and reached the back garden. Xian Mo Yu was basking in the sun in the backyard. Its red petals were fully stretched out, and the roots were all flat on the ground. As Lóng Mo Téng, it has also returned to its original shape. Its huge vines surround the periphery of Xian Mo Yu petals, forming a large green circle. Under the sun, the emerald green leaves looked like they have a transparent texture. At some angles, one can even see the liquid in the leaves.

As soon as Su Ling appeared, a root move to wrap around his wrist, “Son, are you coming to bask in the sun too? Come, lie down on my petals.”

Su Ling stroked the roots lightly and replied, “No, I’m going for a walk, and will return to the villa soon. You just continue to bask in the sun.”

“When will grandson come out?” Xian Mo Yu asked.

Su Ling: “About half a year later.”

Su Ling and Gu Liheng walked 1 more round and returned to the study.

After an hour and a half, when the two took a walk again, the backyard is much more lively than before. Other than Papa Xian and Uncle Lóng, 3 Grade A spiritual plants and 50 Flower Bud Grasses are all present and neatly arranged. There is a computer on the ground in front of them, and a holographic screen pops up above the computer. The holographic screen was stretched to a large size, and cartoons and words could be seen playing inside.

Su Ling: “…” It must be Papa Xian’s idea.

Without having to look at the surveillance camera, Su Ling knew right away that these spiritual plants were all moved out by Papa Xian’s roots. In his mind, he suddenly had an illusion that Papa Xian is operating a kindergarten.

Roots rushed to his hand, “Son! I’m teaching them to read!”

Su Ling skillfully praised, “Papa Xian is awesome.”

The roots shook happily.

Su Ling waited until the plants finished watching a short clip and turned to the Flower Bud Grasses, “You are the main ingredient for making special grade inhibitors. At present, apart from you guys, there are very few mature Flower Bud Grasses out there.”

Hearing that, the straight branches of Flower Bud Grass swayed slightly, conveying all kinds of pride and triumphant feelings to Su Ling.

Su Ling’s mood became complicated, “The Chief of Logistics contacted me yesterday and requested for 30 Flower Bud Grasses. Do any of you want to go to the spiritual plant cultivation base?”

All of a sudden, Su Ling’s mind was filled with the word ‘No’. The prideful feelings have changed to sad, flustered, and scared. It was quite funny. It seems that even though Papa Xian forced them to read from time to time, they still like the villa. He turned to look at the spiritual plant room behind him. The floor-to-ceiling windows were open, and Su Ling saw the shelf against the wall at a glance. It was used to put the Flower Bud Grass but cannot be used anymore because there are too many of them. On the other hand, it takes too much space if all plants are placed on the ground. It seems that in the future, they can no longer cultivate spiritual plants at home, especially those with high IQ. With the plants in his hands, it is as if he is raising more than 50 pets, they cannot raise any more plants.

After a moment of thought, Su Ling asked, “If you are not willing to go, how about providing me with some buds? I will give them the buds, and the diluted vine liquid so that the military can cultivate the plants themselves.”

In the past two years, he has stocked up a lot of vine liquid, and only a small part has been made into concealing agents, which are kept in the fragrance bar now for future use. As soon as he finished speaking, the flower buds on the Flower Bud Grasses fell down onto their flowerpot.

Su Ling: “…not that much.”

With an aching heart, Su Ling squatted down in front of the Flower Bud Grasses and stroked one of their bare branches. Then he looked at the 10 flower buds in each flowerpot and sighed. He controlled his pheromone, and a citrus mint scent wafted around all spiritual plants; gentle and sweet. The Flower Bud Grasses became happy in an instant and gently swaying their branches.

Su Ling looked up and spread his hands to Gu Liheng, “We must collect all the buds.”

Gu Liheng pulled Su Ling up and said, “Just leave it to Domi.”

Half an hour later, Su Ling took a large bag of buds from Domi’s hand; a total of 500 buds. Sitting next to Gu Liheng, he calculated how much vine liquid is needed to grow these Flower Bud Grasses to maturity. After the calculation was done, he contacted the Chief of Logistics.

Chief: “Xiao Ling, have you considered it? If 30 plants are not too much, we can take 25.”

Su Ling: “Sorry, they don’t want to leave the villa.”

The Chief instantly becomes speechless, “You… you mean all of them have grown flower buds?” The plants will have IQ when their buds are formed, and raw materials can’t be forcibly taken.

Su Ling: “Yes.”

Chief: “How about I send a few high-level spiritual plant specialists to try? Maybe we can communicate with them?”

Su Ling: “Chief, this business is definitely a no-go, but I have another one for you. I have 500 flower buds here, as well as the formulated growth liquid. In less than a week, they will all mature.”

The Chief paused, and his voice suddenly rose, “500? Within a week?”

“Yes.” Su Ling said helplessly, “Doctor Ni An should have revealed something, right?”

“Indeed, it was mentioned 2 years ago, but nothing more after that.” The chief said.

In his mind, Su Ling said, ‘Of course, there is nothing after that.’ After all, Uncle Lóng has always pretended to be a bracelet, and he himself has concealed the news of the vine liquid. However, he had stored too much vine liquid, and it’s not easy to keep it. Hence, he asked Uncle Lóng 2 days ago if he could sell it. Uncle Lóng said that the liquid is his pocket money anyway. So Su Ling finally understood that Uncle Lóng didn’t care if it would be exposed or not. Anyway, if someone did ask about the vine liquid, they could just deny it.

Su Ling: “You can think about it first. If you are willing to cooperate, I can provide the raw supplies at any time.”

Chief: “Alright, what do you mean by mature in one week?”

“They will be at least 1 meter high and has 5 flower buds.” Su Ling has grown so many Flower Bud Grasses so he is very experienced.

“I will hold a meeting right away. Your offer is equivalent to 500 mature Flower Bud Grass, so the price is not low,” the Chief said mildly and asked, “Xiao Ling, have you decided on a price?”

Su Ling restrained his smile, “I believe Chief will not let me suffer a loss. For 500 buds, let’s count it at the price of 450 buds ba (meaning 50 buds are free).”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely give you the right price!”

Hanging up the call, Su Ling leaned on Gu Liheng and said, “This sum of money is at least hundreds of millions. I want to donate it.”

Gu Liheng rubbed Su Ling’s hair, “As you wished.”

Su Ling smiled and turned to play with Gu Liheng’s hands, “I am not short of money at all. This money earned is thanks to the spiritual plants. I want to donate it to help the slums in the name of my baby.” He sighed as he spoke, “At first, I thought your planet here doesn’t have slums.”

“Most of them are interstellar wanderers. Planet Belle is in the upper top economic tier within the alliance. There are still many backward planets. The universe is vast and it is difficult to not have the gap between the rich and the poor.”

Su Ling uttered an En, then put his chin on Gu Liheng’s shoulder, “But I don’t safe donating it to other people. Can I donate it directly to the construction company under the Gu family?”

Gu Liheng: “Okay, I will arrange for someone to follow up.”

…

When Su Ling gave birth to his baby, the most basic residential buildings in the slums had been completed. Those people who seek shelter from the wind and rain moved into the building.

On the other hand, Su Ling briefly mentioned this matter when he signed the contract with the Logistic Dept Chief. Later, the Chief got in touch with the Gu family to cooperate with relevant departments. Soon, the people in the slum area have completed their temporary household registration and then are allocated the residence according to the household registration. Of course, the actual budget is not only from the money earned from the Flower Bud Grass but also part of Gu company’s funding, as well as donations from welfare agencies and some businesses. After Mother Gu heard about it, she went to supervise the whole process to ensure the quality and speed of the project. The original slum area was given a makeover and became a new community. Since the community had no name, it was called the New Community.

…

The news that President Gu’s wife has given birth quickly swept through various headlines, but apart from knowing the child is an Alpha, nobody knows anything. Not a photo was revealed, not even a strand of the baby’s hair. On this day, red silk was hung everywhere in the New Community, and blessings to the baby were written everywhere. Su Ling only saw the news the next day, but it makes his heart very warm. It gives him a sense of reality, and stability.

After staying in the hospital for 3 days, Su Ling has recovered his energy. It was as if he has never given birth to a child at all, and still a tender young man. He went to hug his son and poked his son’s fleshy face in surprise, “He looked better today.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes were gentle as he said, “He always looks good.”

“This is what we call mindless praise. How could anyone look good when they were just born, with a flushed face like that? But right now the baby is good-looking, with fair skin and pink blush.”

Mother Gu laughed at the side, “Children are like this. The baby looked exactly the same as Ah Heng when he was a child. Have you thought about a name?”

Gu Liheng: “It’s Gu Yu, and his nickname is Dou Dou(豆豆/pea).”

“Peas?”

Su Ling: “En, when I first saw him, he looked like a pea to me.”

A week later, Gu Liheng made a post in Boyan and uploaded a photo of Dou Dou’s profile shot. Then he wrote Dou Dou’s formal name underneath it: Gu Yu.

Some time later, Su Ling kind of regretted the nickname he gave. He should have picked a quieter name. Dou Dou made himself a human jumping bean, always jumping, full of energy, and no idle moment. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson, but Mother Gu and Gu Liheng always stopped him and said that Doudou is very obedient. Not only Dou Dou likes making trouble, but he is also good at acting like a baby. Hence, Su Ling can no longer muster to strength to get angry.

When Doudou was 3 years old, not only Mother Gu and male god mindlessly pampered him, even Papa Xian and Uncle Lóng did the same. Papa Xian itself is already like a child. Dou Dou’s temper is too compatible with it. When Dou Dou was too young, they can’t express ideas properly. Now that they can communicate smoothly, the relationship between the two has advanced by leaps and bounds.

On this one day, Su Ling and Gu Liheng came back from work and found that Papa Xian and Dou Dou is gone. He looked at the surveillance camera and saw Dou Dou picked up Papa Xian and asked Papa Xian to take him to the mountains.

Su Ling’s heart tightened and he turned to look at Gu Liheng, “His courage is getting bigger. How old he is now? He dares to go into the mountains! Who knows where he’ll go next time? This time I must teach him well!”

Gu Liheng: “It’s okay, Dou Dou is safe with Papa Xian.”

Even though Gu Liheng said that, he immediately contacted the bodyguard to find his son.

Su Ling humphed lightly. He already discovered that Mother Gu and Gu Liheng should have a bad experience before. That’s why they doted on Dou Dou and didn’t say a word of scolding. No matter what Dou Dou does, Dou Dou is right.

Soon, the bodyguard reported that no trace was found, whether it was Xian Mo Yu’s or Dou Dou’s.

Hearing that, Su Ling and Gu Liheng’s expression instantly changed.

When Su Ling opened his eyes, all he saw was the white ceiling above. But he only took a look when someone suddenly leaned over and hugged him tightly; blocking his vision completely.

“Ling Ling,” the person holding him called out while stroking his hair as if smoothing animal fur. Then the person stepped back a little and started talking with a straight face and serious tone, “From now on…”

Before that person could finish his words, Su Ling sullenly pushed him away with both hands. He quickly got up and kicked the person. The man leaned back and reacted quickly as he supported himself on the bed with his palms. He didn’t turn over and managed to sit steadily, but his posture was a bit crooked.

“Ling Ling?” The person was shocked by his action, and then softened his voice, “Did I scare you just now? I wasn’t angry with you, I am just worried about you.”

Su Ling pressed his back against the headboard and clenched his fists. He opened his mouth to say something, and after a while, he said dryly, “Hao Zi[1].”

Pei Hao, his only best buddy and also could be considered as his childhood friend. They met at an entertainment party at the age of 10. He is the son of a dancer, and Pei Hao, the son of a musician, is now a super popular star.

Pei Hao’s handsome face blanked out for 2 seconds before he could react, “Xiao Ling Zi?”

Su Ling closed his eyes, “I kicked you just now, did it hurt?”

“It hurts to death!” Pei Hao immediately clutched his abdomen.

Staring at Pei Hao, Su Ling bit his lower lip hard. The pain on his lips reminded him that he is not dreaming and he has returned to Earth. What about male god?

“Eh, don’t bite.” Pei Hao’s tall body leaned closer, reflexively touching Su Ling’s lips with his fingers. However, the moment his finger made contact, both of them froze at the same time.

Su Ling kicked Pei Hao’s arm, and Pei Hao retracted his hand with a twisted expression. He explained with a dry smile, “Still, still not used to it (Su Ling’s return).”

Su Ling stared at Pei Hao before leaning forward, and grabbed his collar, “Hao Zi, when did you think of me in that way? When I was away (from this body), did you do anything to my body?”

“Who think what?” Pei Hao retorted loudly, “You are my best buddy, and there is only pure and flawless friendship between us!”

Su Ling pointed to his lips, “Pure? Friendship?”

Pei Hao: “Ling Ling is not you.”

After saying that, Pei Hao’s shoulders drooped, and his spirit was visible low. He wiped his face and turned his head to the side.

Su Ling let go of Pei Hao and felt a dull throb in his heart. He asked, “Is he ‘Su Ling’? The Omega?”

Pei Hao turned his head abruptly, “How do you know? You really turned into him?”

Seeing Su Ling nodded, Pei Hao continued, “Then how did you suddenly changed back, can he still…” His voice stopped, “Sorry, Xiao Ling Zi, I…” His expression was complicated, one was his lover, the other was his buddy, he couldn’t bear to part with anyone.

Su Ling raised his head and lightly bumped against the bed, “No need to apologize, I want to go back.”

“Hey, isn’t that a bit swift? Aren’t you reluctant to part with me?” Pei Hao reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth.

Su Ling humphed, “What’s so unbearable about it? Everyone in your family can’t wait to treat you as a treasure. And you still have tens of millions of fans fawning over you, so I don’t worry about you.”

Pei Hao looked at Su Ling, “Xiao Ling Zi, did you fall in love there?”

“Married,” Su Ling’s mouth curved up subconsciously as he continued, “Do you know who my partner is? My male god!”

Pei Hao: “Gu Liheng?”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, “You actually remember his name.”

Pei Hao: “Ling Ling and I read that novel several times. He said that the novel is the story of his world. He died as a background character at the beginning of the story, and later became you.”

Su Ling: “I transmigrated into the novel so he didn’t die. The rest of the story is completely different from the novel.”

“So you have become the butterfly effect that flapped its wings.” Pei Hao instantly understood.

Su Ling glared at Pei Hao, “You are the butterfly.” He got out of bed and saw the bunny pajamas on him. The corners of his mouth twitched, “Hao Zi, your evil taste really makes me speechless.”

Pei Hao felt a bit embarrassed as well. That was his private interest with his lover. Getting exposed In front of his buddy makes it awkward. What’s more, his buddy and his lover shared the same body. He tried to correct Su Ling, “Ling Ling likes cute clothes.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows but did not continue the topic. He asked, “Are there any new toiletries?”

“Yes.” Pei Hao took a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel for Su Ling. Then he leaned against the door to watch him squeeze the toothpaste.

Throwing a glance at Pei Hao, Su Ling said, “Tell me about what happened recently, and why did you think of doing this to me?”

Pei Hao rolled his eyes, “I already said it wasn’t you, Ling Ling is as timid as a rabbit and super cute. While you are an aloof unreachable flower, how could I think of you that way?”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Su Ling squeezed toothpaste on the toothbrush. “Why are you together? Make it short, and focus on what happened last night.”

Then Su Ling brushed his teeth while listening to Pei Hao’s memories.

Pei Hao: “After you were in a coma, the school notified relatives and friends and reached me. When I went to the hospital, Ling Ling was curled up in bed, like a little pitiful thing.”

“I even laughed at you at the time. But then I realized something was wrong and chatted with him. I was shocked when I first learned about the situation and thought you were playing me. Because I’m worried about him, I took him back to my apartment.”

Su Ling glanced at Pei Hao and he quickly said, “I already make it short, the main point will come immediately, don’t worry.”

“He feels very guilty in his heart, and he doesn’t understand our world. He can’t do anything by himself. He takes care of my apartment like Ms. Periwinkle Snail[2] every day, and he can cook.”

“Because he took your body, he felt sorry for you and didn’t want to spend your money. Every day, he wondered how to make money to support himself. I asked him about his situation and suggested that he write novels online.”

“He has a lot of works back in that world (novel). He usually doesn’t have many friends, so he happens to read a lot of books. He is very diligent in writing novels and is now a very famous writer on the Green Net portal. By the way, he updates at 12.00 pm every day, and has never stopped updating!”

Su Ling wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, “But I don’t know how to write novels.”

“Who wants you to write it? He already finished the whole manuscript and will post 3 chapters of 10,000 words a day. It just that he has to ‘catch bugs’ before posting… I mean, correct typos.”

Su Ling nodded, “All right, upload it for him later, and continue talking.”

Pei Hao: “I came back late from recording a variety show last night. I already asked him not to wait for me. As a result, he had been writing novels. When I came back, he is already in a coma. The latest time of the saved file is 1.00 am.”

Su Ling recalled his own situation, “In that world, I probably fell in a coma around 1.00 am as well. I was doing experiments, and then I relaxed and fell into a coma – the same situation as how I first went to that world.”

Pei Hao looked at Su Ling and asked, “You mean…?”

Su Ling nodded, “Whether it is the key or not, I need to give it a try. I’m worried about male god.”

Su Ling is worried about the Gu Liheng and at this time, he(GLH) is sitting on the sofa with no expression on his face. ‘Su Ling’ was curled up on the bed and his eyes were red. The atmosphere in the room was heavy. When Gu Liheng rushed back from Klai, the joy from knowing about the pregnancy has disappeared cleanly. He looked at ‘Su Ling’ and asked, “You really don’t know me?”

“Know, I know. You are President Gu,” Su Ling whispered, “the president of the Gu company.”

Gu Liheng: “Do you remember that we got married?”

“No…” Su Ling’s eyes widened, “I have a lover.”

Hearing that makes Gu Liheng frowned, and Su Ling is scared. He missed Pei Hao and didn’t want to stay in this world at all. He didn’t know much about Gu Liheng, but he knew that the Gu company is powerful. Maybe President Gu would have a way to get him back? He hurriedly asked, “When did you know me?”

Gu Liheng: “After you committed suicide, in the hospital.”

Su Ling pursed his lips, “At that time, I’m not in this world anymore. It may be unbelievable, but what I said is true.”

Then, Su Ling recounted what happened to him, “My identity in that world is also called Su Ling. He has a favorite novel. In that novel, it tells the story of our world. Pei Hao said, “You are the male god of that Su Ling in another world.”

“Male god?”

Su Ling nodded slightly, “En, he likes the novel because of you. You are very responsible and it makes him feel at ease. He has no father and follows his mother around, so he yearned for stability.”

Gu Liheng felt a little pain in his heart, “Tell me about that novel.”

After Su Ling finished speaking, the room became quiet. Gu Liheng put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little throbbing in his heart. No wonder the young man asked him that time if he knows Zhao Qi after signing the contract. No wonder the young man said he liked him for a long time. He originally thought the young man had amnesia, but in fact, the young man is a visitor from afar.

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng cautiously, “I think he came to this world for your sake because, in that novel, I’m already dead at the beginning.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes softened instantly, and he pondered for a moment, “Why did you suddenly change back?”

Su Ling shook his head, Gu Liheng asked, “What happened last night?”

“I stayed up late to write and reached a plot point. I didn’t want to stop halfway so I pressed on. After I finished writing, I was emotionally relaxed and suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I am here.”

Gu Liheng: “Ling Ling stayed up late last night to do an experiment too.”

Su Ling’s eyes lit up, “I want to try it tonight.”

…

“Try tonight? Would you like to take a break now?” Pei Hao asked.

Su Ling glanced at Pei Hao, “Resting would be a waste of effort then. The point is to work hard, stay up late and then relax.” He asked, “Where is his computer? I will help him with typos.”

Pei Hao took him to the study room. The study room has completely changed to suit infants, with various small animal-style pillow cushions. Even the mouse pad is a big bear claw, and it’s pink.

Su Ling: “Are you raising a kid?”

Pei Hao gave a dry cough, and couldn’t help but said with joy, “You don’t know the fun of it.” He smoothly turned on the computer and entered the password.

Su Ling: “Why do I feel like you don’t need me at all for this matter?”

Pei Hao: “I can’t do it. I am prone to omitting words in reading, you are more careful than me.”

Su Ling opened the file that Pei Hao pointed at and asked, “It shouldn’t matter if you make a few mistakes?”

“Ling Ling is very demanding to himself. A typo will make him uncomfortable, as it will make him think he is careless. With 10,000 words per chapter, my gaze will wander as I read on. It’s not easy to pick out typos. The same pinyin has several different words (like homophones), so typing the pinyin is easy to pick the wrong word.”

“Quiet,” Su Ling said and began to read the text. Halfway through, he looked away and rubbed his eyes, “I usually read novels and can finish reading 10,000 words at once. But to edit the chapter, I have only changed half of it but 15 minutes have passed.”

Pei Hao poured a cup of coffee for Su Ling, “Keep up the good work. I have booked a private room, and will treat you to a big meal at noon.”

Su Ling whispered an En. Big meal huh? Should be called a farewell banquet.

Pei Hao patted Su Ling on the shoulder and said, “We still don’t know whether this will work or not. But having a chance to say goodbye formally is already very good. You left so suddenly last time.”

Hearing that, the corner of Su Ling’s mouth twitched, “You said it like I’m dead.”

“Meh, ‘children’s words carry no harm’(idiom)[3].”

Su Ling smiled and continued to edit the text. After the editing, Pei Hao took over. He skillfully uploaded the chapter in the dashboard and set the time. Su Ling turned to look at him, “Unexpectedly, you who are a careless person would have such an attentive side.”

The praise made Pei Hao curled his lips triumphantly, “Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Fierce tiger sniffing rose’ (idiom)[4]? You looked down at me because you are jealous of my height of 186 cm.”

“Humph, my male god is taller, handsome-r, and richer than you.”

Pei Hao: “I didn’t see it, so I don’t believe it.”

“Wait until your Ling Ling comes back, and let him tell you the truth.” Su Ling said but suddenly felt a bit breathless. Since he and male god are attracted by their AO pheromones, would he and ‘Su Ling’…

No! Definitely not! Nothing will happen!

“What’s the matter with you?” Pei Hao was startled as he watched Su Ling’s expressions changed.

Su Ling tugged at the long ears attached to the clothing and asked, “Do you have normal clothes?”

“Yes, yes.”

At noon, Pei Hao and Su Ling had a big meal, Su Ling went to clean Mother Su’s grave and stayed in the cemetery for a long time before leaving. “Hao Zi, I want to go to the laboratory.” He said.

Pei Hao understood what he thought and nodded. Then he put on a baseball cap and a mask, “If your classmate can recognize me, my manager will kill me tomorrow.”

Su Ling glanced at Pei Hao and said, “Don’t worry, with this standard robber look, even your mother won’t recognize you.”

For dinner, they had dinner in the backstreet of Su Ling school and then went to the laboratory. Su Ling met several classmates and they asked him about his health. He simply smiled and responded one by one. It was quiet at night, the laboratory lights were still on, Pei Hao sat against the wall without caring for his image while Su Ling did experiments and wrote records. These were all tasks he hadn’t completed before. After 4.00 am, Pei Hao rubbed the bridge of his nose, his voice a little hoarse, “Xiao Ling Zi, go back and rest.”

Su Ling held the experiment table in his hands, “Wait a bit more.”

Their experiment on the first day failed.

Su Ling and Pei Hao were in a depressed mood, and they did not go out for dinner but ordered takeout instead.  After Su Ling ate it and slept for 4 hours, he got up and helped to correct typos again. After the chapter is uploaded, he then started experimenting again. After 3 days in a row, Su Ling’s face was obviously haggard, and Pei Hao was not much better than him. Pei Hao didn’t dare to accept video calls from his manager and turned them into voice calls.

“Ling Ling, how about take a day off?” Pei Hao worriedly asked.

Su Ling: “No.”

The more he fails, the more anxious he is. He is too worried about male god because he knows very well how much male god cares about him.

…

Gu Liheng’s face was pale with red blood in his eyes. The ‘Su Ling’ in front of him was not in good condition either. The doctor looked serious as he asked, “He has just gotten pregnant and needs a good rest. Why is he lacking sleep?”

Su Ling sat on the sofa and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

The doctor calmed down his expression and prescribed several nutritional supplements, “Get more rest and keep a happy mood.”

Su Ling nodded and Domi sent the doctor away.

Gu Liheng: “Stop for a while tonight.”

Su Ling bit on his lips, and said with tears in his eyes, “I don’t want to stop, let me try again.”

Su Ling missed Pei Hao so much. He admired the Su Ling from Earth very much. See how serious and terrible President Gu is? How could he be willing to marry President Gu?

Gu Liheng’s heart began to hurt again, but his complexion remained the same. This has been his daily routine these days. He couldn’t imagine the young man showing such an expression where he couldn’t see it.

…

At 2.00 am, the Su Ling in front of the experiment table and the Su Ling in the study room writing article fell into a coma at the same time.

Su Ling fell into deep exhaustion. He awoke for a moment, then fell asleep again and slept for a long time. After the exhaustion finally dissipated, he opened his eyes. He blinked, and the handsome face he has been missing day and night appeared in front of him. Su Ling seldom shed tears but at this moment, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

Seeing that, Gu Liheng’s face changed abruptly. The lights in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he moved aside. Just that the moment he tried to move away, his neck was held tightly and Su Ling’s voice sounded choked, “Brother Li Heng.”

Gu Liheng’s body instantly stiffened, and then he hugged the person tightly, “Ling Ling.”

“It’s me.” Su Ling wiped his tears at Gu Liheng’s shoulder. “I miss you so much.”

Gu Liheng’s voice was hoarse, “I miss you too.”

The two hugged for a long time before letting go. Su Ling touched Gu Liheng’s chin with his finger, “Your stubble is a bit prickly.”

Gu Liheng took Su Ling’s hand and drop a kiss on it, “Will shave it later.”

Using his finger, Su Ling tapped at the corner of Gu Liheng’s eye, “Have you not slept in the past few days?”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling and asked, “Have you?”

Su Ling didn’t answer, but leaned closer and kissed Gu Liheng. The two exchanged a lingering and long kiss. Finally, Su Ling said, “I’m very hungry. Let’s eat, and then rest together.” Gu Liheng carried him to the bathroom, and the two of them washed, ate, and slept.

When Su Ling woke up again, he turned his head to the side and meet Gu Liheng’s eyes. Gu Liheng’s complexion has improved a lot. His stubble was shaved, and he looked energetic. Su Ling hugged his waist and felt very relieved. Gu Liheng rubbed his black hair and handed him a nutrient pack, “It’s time to drink this.”

Taking the pack, Su Ling asked, “What is this?” He looked at the explanation of the bottle, and his voice rose sharply, “Pregnancy nutrient pack?”

Gu Liheng bowed his head and kissed Su Ling’s forehead, “En, you are pregnant.”

Su Ling put his hands on his abdomen and stared at it, “There’s a child here?”

A smile flashed in Gu Liheng’s eyes, and he stroked the young man behind his ears, “It’s only been less than a month, so it hasn’t taken shape yet. Are you… not ready yet?”

The question made Su Ling looked up at Gu Liheng. He replied, “No, I’m ready. I have been regretting these days, I should have earlier…” Gu Liheng interrupted the rest of the words with a kiss and didn’t let go until he couldn’t breathe.

Gu Liheng’s voice was hoarse, “If you are not here, why do I want a child for?” He held Su Ling’s hand tightly and said, “Don’t stay up late in the future.”

Su Ling could feel Gu Liheng’s voice trembled as he said that and felt very distressed. He rubbed his face and promised, “En, will never stay up all night again.” Then, he suddenly remembered something, “Did you have your birthday? My present!”

Gu Liheng’s complexion darkened slightly, “I don’t want that gift.”

Su Ling understood immediately. After all, he fell in a coma to make that gift, “Well, I will think about other gifts.”

“No need,” Gu Liheng kissed Su Ling. “My birthday has already passed. The fact that you woke up yesterday is the best gift for me.”

…

In the afternoon, Su Ling and Gu Liheng sat in the garden. Su Ling was reading a diary saved in his bracelet. It was written by another Su Ling and it described how was Gu Liheng’s situation these days when he is not here. After reading it, Su Ling felt more distressed. He grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and kissed it, “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Gu Liheng replied, “No need to ask, I know everything,” he has a deep gaze as he continued, “he said that you came to this world for my sake.”

Hearing that, Su Ling was taken aback for a moment. As expected of an author, the other Su Ling make his existence sounded so literary and touching. He laughed, and switch his seat to sit face to face on Gu Liheng’s lap, “En, I came here for you.”

Gu Liheng held on to Su Ling’s waist. The scent of red wine became stronger in the air, but the citrus mint scent remained calm. Gu Liheng took a deep breath and hugged Su Ling in his arms. After that, he gave him a bite on his ear, “You are pregnant, be obedient. Don’t tease me.”

Su Ling could easily sense that the area he was sitting on is uneven. He put his hand on Gu Liheng’s chest and leaned closer to his chin, saying, “I will help you.”

…

Su Ling stayed at home for a full week before he was allowed to continue school since he suddenly collapsed and pregnant as well. As for Lin Meng, he is about to give birth so his classes have been stopped so Su Ling will pass a copy of his notes to him every day. In exchange, Lin Meng shared what he wrote in his pregnancy diary with Su Ling. After Su Ling read it, he felt more confident and relaxed towards his own pregnancy.

Two days later, it was announced that Saint Rose university has designated a building for afternoon nap, specially prepared for Omega. Any Omega with special circumstances can apply to use the facility. Su Ling got the right to use it on the same day. His room is 101, the leftmost room on the bottom floor.

Gu Liheng: “A nutritionist has been arranged in the building to cook lunch for you every day. You should take a nap after lunch and after-meal walk.”

Su Ling: “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome, the food in the cafeteria is delicious too.”

“Not enough nutrition.” Gu Liheng’s attitude was very firm.

Su Ling’s mouth narrowed into a pout as he said, “I don’t want to eat bland food every day.”

Gu Liheng rubbed Su Ling’s hair, “It won’t be. The lunch will be made to your taste.”

Su Ling reluctantly accepted and hugged Gu Liheng, “Don’t worry, I don’t feel anything different at all right now. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t even know that I am pregnant.”

Hearing that makes Gu Liheng feel helpless. How could he not worry? He kissed the young man’s forehead and replied, “En.”

…

Pei Hao sat cross-legged on the bed as he stared at the unconscious person beside him; his eyes were very red and bloodshot.

The moment ‘Su Ling’ opened his eyes and saw Pei Hao, tears flowed down freely. He called out aggrievedly, “Hao Hao.”

Swiftly, Pei Hao picked up the person and hugged him in his arms, “Ling Ling!” He kissed Su Ling’s face, and his voice was hoarse, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. My heart is breaking into pieces to hear you cry like that…”

Su Ling chuckled, but his tears didn’t stop, “I was so scared.”

The expression on Pei Hao’s face changed slightly, “Xiao Ling Zi’s male god is fierce to you?”

Su Ling shook his head, “No, President Gu is so serious, but he didn’t get angry with me. I’m just afraid that I won’t see you again in the future.”

“Aiya,” Pei Hao hugged ‘Su Ling’ tighter into his arms, saying, “Baby, you are so good at talking, I want to hug you tight and keep you in my heart.”

Instantly, Su Ling’s face turned red and he dared not speak anymore.

Pei Hao took Su Ling to the bathroom and washed his face. After he took a shower, he helped Su Ling put on a cat costume; Su Ling looked so soft.

“Seriously, when the temperament is different, the difference is obvious even though the appearance is the same.” Pei Hao sighed.

Su Ling grabbed Pei Hao’s hand, “Will you be reluctant to let your friend go?”

Pei Hao: “Of course, but knowing that Xiao Ling Zi is doing well on the other side, I’m relieved. And he said he wants to go back as well.”

Su Ling shook Pei Hao’s hand, “Tell you a good news, he is pregnant with a baby.”

“Huh?” Pei Hao was stunned.

“The pregnancy was just found out when I woke up there. Yes, he is pregnant.” Su Ling put his hand on his abdomen, “It’s a pity that I can’t give you a baby.” Although ‘Su Ling’ is a male in this world, he is still an Omega deep inside and he really wanted to give his lover a baby.

Pei Hao’s throat moved as he swallowed. Next, he pushed the other person down, “I’ll get you pregnant, right now.”

Being made to lift his neck, Su Ling gasped and said, “I can’t give birth. The men in this world can’t have children.”

“I’ll work hard.”

Su Ling’s face flushed, and he didn’t have the energy to speak anymore.

[1] Y’all know about endearment terms where people use the word Xiao/Little in front of their name? You can also put the term behind their name, but Banana dunno how it is usually used. In my opinion, it should be something like Sam – Sammy, probably. Anyway, the person’s name is Pei Hao and Su Ling call him Hao Zi, the Zi is the endearment term as friends.

[2] Some folktale about animal turning into human and helping the human with some chores

[3] Something like children often say things bluntly so don’t blame them for misspoke

[4] Even a tough person would fall for sweet and nice thing

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

Caution – Predictable cliffhanger ahead. Jump at your own risk 😛 Btw, the next chapter has 6k word count #Shiet

When Su Ling and Gu Liheng finished their breakfast, the pirate’s leader had been taken away by the interstellar police. Not long after, their spacecraft landed on Planet Aqualai.

Planet Aqualai is a planet with only summer season and is famous for its sea and beaches. As soon as the spacecraft landed, Su Ling could feel a wave of heat rushing toward his face. Gu Liheng took him to his villa in Planet Aqualai, where Hua Cheng and the team will live next door. The villa faces the sea, so Su Ling changed into lighter clothing and beach pants. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, he can see the beach not far away. In the distance, the blue sky and the blue water intersect; simply mesmerizing.

Gu Liheng put on the same T-shirt and beach pants as Su Ling’s and hugged him from behind. He asked, “You want to swim or go for a stroll on a speedboat?”

Without hesitation, Su Ling replied, “Speedboat.”

When they returned to the villa at night, Hua Cheng could be seen waiting in the living room, restraining a smile.

Hua Cheng: “President Gu, Xiao Ling.”

Gu Liheng: “Something happened?”

Hua Cheng smiled and said, “Knowing that you will definitely not check the news, I came to share it with you,” his eyes fell on Lóng Mo Téng on Su Ling’s wrist as he continued, “There has been a rumor in the interstellar trading grapevine saying that the spaceship with the Gu company’s logo must not be messed with.”

Gu Liheng immediately understood what Hua Cheng meant and said, “The news about this morning’s incident has spread out?”

Hua Cheng nodded, “Special Assistant Lin also specifically contacted me to ask about what happened. Then this afternoon, the company suddenly received a lot of interstellar trade orders, and several of them have never cooperated with the Gu company before.”

“Right now, a rumor is flying around that Gu company’s interplanetary cargo service is the safest one,” Hua Cheng coughed lightly. “Special Assistant Lin asked me to check if Xian Mo Yu could be the bodyguard of our interplanetary cargo ship.”

Su Ling: “…”
With a complicated look, he took out Xian Mo Yu.

Hua Cheng understood instantly and repeated his explanation to Xian Mo Yu again. Then he asked, “Are you willing?”

One of Xian Mo Yu’s roots circled around Su Ling’s wrist, “Son, are you going too?”

Su Ling replied, “No, I’m not going.” He hasn’t even graduated from university, what is he doing out there working as a bodyguard?

Xian Mo Yu’s roots stood up in front of Hua Cheng and shook left and right, “I want to stay with my son and protect him.”

Naturally, Hua Cheng didn’t know what Xian Mo Yu is talking about, but he could figure it out based on Xian Mo Yu’s reaction and Su Ling’s words.

Hearing that, Su Ling was moved. He could feel an enormous fatherly love from Papa Xian to him. Lightly squeezing the root, he said to Hua Cheng, “Unfortunately, the answer is no.”

Hua Cheng: “I will convey the message to Special Assistant Lin,” he waved his hand and added, “The company and Gu mansion are fine, so I won’t bother you guys.”

After that, Hua Cheng didn’t show up again. Everything was calm, he didn’t need to share any big news, and he didn’t need to come forward to protect their safety.

Su Ling and Gu Liheng lived comfortably and sweetly at Planet Aqualai. They were together almost all the time every day, leaving their footprints everywhere. The first thing they see when they wake up in the morning is their other half. They would then share light kisses but would go out of control from time to time. Hence, the time to wake up is delayed indefinitely. But no one cares, and they will just do what they want. During the day, they will go for swimming, surfing, deep-diving… all kinds of mild or exciting water activities. They have tried many sports, and most of it was their first time but they had a great time. At night, they will walk hand in hand on the beach under the starry sky with 2 trails of side-by-side footprints winding behind them.

Lying on the wicker chair on the balcony of the bedroom, Su Ling held Gu Liheng’s hand and sighed with eyes filled with stars, “Time flies so fast, it’s actually been a month.”

“Feeling reluctant?” Gu Liheng’s voice seemed more magnetic at night.

Su Ling smiled, “Kind of. It’s too blissful here, it felt like in a dream.”

Gu Liheng: “If you like it here, we can come back next year.”

Su Ling tilted his head to look at Gu Liheng and said, “Let’s change the place. I am very interested in the planets you mentioned during our trip. I want to go to those places with you.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes were gentle as he replied, “Okay.”

When they finally returned to Planet Belle, the first thing they did was to bring a lot of Planet Aqualai specialties to Gu Mansion, to visit Mother Gu. When they arrived, Mother Gu was arranging flowers. She looked very young and her temper was much milder than before. She asked about Planet Aqualai, and then said: “The planet sounds great, I will go check it out next month.”

After lunch, Mother Gu looked at Su Ling and stiffly asked about his usual life. On the contrary, Su Ling had a natural attitude and answered with a smile. The atmosphere of this meeting was very good. Su Ling could clearly feel that male god is in a good mood. When they returned home, he kept hugging him. Smiling, Su Ling let male god hold him as long as he wanted. He can understand that even though male god’s childhood memories are not perfect, Mother Gu is still the only relative who stayed beside him as he grew up. Mother Gu and him(SL) are the most important people in male god’s heart.

After the winter vacation, Su Ling entered the semester of his junior year. The courses gradually added practical classes unlike the last semester where almost all classes were theoretical classes, and there were a lot of things to remember. During the break between classes, Su Ling drank some water and then Lin Meng came bustling in from outside, his face full of excitement.

“Ling Ling, I got the news,” Lin Meng sat down beside Su Ling, speaking very fast, “Our major opened a new facility for us, a spiritual plant information room. I heard that it contains all the scents and photos of known spiritual plants.”

Su Ling closed his water bottle, and suddenly felt a little familiar, “It is the same as the information room of the spiritual plant registration association?”

Lin Meng nodded, “Yes,” his eyes lit up, “This is awesome. The students from other schools majoring in the spiritual plant will be green with envy.” He couldn’t help sighing, “Our school leaders are amazing too. I don’t know whose idea is it, but to gather so many spiritual plants, they must have begun preparations long ago.”

Su Ling felt moved in his heart and nodded in agreement.

After school in the afternoon, he walked out of the school gate and saw the familiar black speed car. As he approached, the door opened automatically. He got in the car, the door closed, and the car started to move. Su Ling leaned close and gave a peck to male god but was pressed for a deep kiss. He panted as he backed away slightly. Watching male god’s expression, he asked, “The school’s spiritual plant information room is your idea?”

Gu Liheng stroked the back of Su Ling’s neck and replied, “En, it will be opened tomorrow,” he reminded, “You should take a break at noon and don’t stay there all the time.”

Hearing the concern, the corner of Su Ling’s mouth curved up, “I know.” He hugged male god and said, “You are so kind.”

Su Ling thought that male god was just saying something casually at that time, but he didn’t expect him to actually build an information room like the association. The university forum in Belle has been talking about the information room for several days, and the outside school expressed their outspoken envy to Saint Rose. Many of them left messages like: As expected of a private aristocratic school.

During the freshman summer vacation, Lin Meng and Xiào Rui got married. Their wedding was exceptionally grand and many media compared it with his wedding with President Gu. Su Ling and Gu Liheng sat at the observatory. He grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and smiled, watching Lin Meng and Xiào Rui exchange rings.

In the novel, at this period, the two of them should be still having misunderstandings of each other because of the non-stop antics done by the supporting characters; making noises at the side. Thinking about it now, the protagonist’s life is actually not enviable at all. Because in order to make the plot develop, the author always creates difficulties for them, abusing their mind and body.

Su Ling feels very satisfied with his status as the supporting character. He turned to smile at the couple and thought in his mind, Lin Meng and Xiào Rui had already gotten together this time. Moreover, they would only occasionally quarrel but seldom get into a real fight. This is a completely different world from the novel, and there is no protagonist or supporting role. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life and a supporting character of other people’s life.

After the wedding ceremony, Lin Meng and Xiào Rui hopped onto the spaceship, leaving to spend their honeymoon. After all, it is their summer vacation and the time is just right. Su Ling and Gu Liheng also went on a trip to a planet where it would have aurora every month. When they came back from the trip, they unexpectedly discovered that Lin Meng and Xiào Rui had also returned. Calculating the time, their honeymoon seems to have only lasted half a month.

Lin Meng’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Ling. With a blushing face, he said the reason for their return, “I’m pregnant.”

That reply got Su Ling stunned. He opened his eyes wide and scanned Lin Meng’s body from top to bottom. Lastly, he stared at his(LM) stomach in a daze. He is like him, their appearance is no different from any normal male, although they are Omegas. But they really can get pregnant!

“Ling Ling.” Gu Liheng took his shoulders and called him worriedly.

Su Ling returned to his sense and smiled at Gu Liheng. Then he turned to Lin Meng and said, “Congratulations.”

Su Ling quickly calmed down. He had been mentally prepared before he registered his marriage with male god. It just that he hadn’t thought about this matter for a long time, so the sudden news caught him off guard.

Lin Meng smiled softer than usual, “Thank you.” While beside him, Xiào Rui is hugging him, looking a little silly with a smile.

Mother Xiào came out of the kitchen with a loving face, carrying a bowl of soup. She hit Xiào Rui on the back of his head and said, “How reckless, you two dared to get into an interstellar spacecraft when Meng Meng has just gotten pregnant.” Then she handed the soup to Lin Meng, her tone was more gentle at the moment, “It is boiled using the ancient method, better to nurture the body.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Lin Meng obediently accepted the soup.

Su Ling and Gu Liheng didn’t stay very long and returned to their villa.

At first, Su Ling thought that this incident did not affect him. Unexpectedly, since then, Mother Gu often contacted him, both indirectly and directly expressed that he could have children, and she would help raise them. Whenever Su Ling received calls at home, he would put it on speaker. Hence, Gu Liheng would often cut in before he could reply, “No hurry.” Then he(GLH) dismissed Mother Gu’s intention with a few words. Mother Gu was probably stimulated by Lin Meng’s pregnancy, after all, Xiào Rui is 10 years younger than Gu Liheng. After being dismissed, Mother Gu will stay quiet for 2 days, and then she would contact him again, and ended up being persuaded by Gu Liheng to stop.

Gu Liheng hung up the call and rubbed Su Ling’s black hair, “Don’t worry, you are still young.”

Su Ling uttered an En, and looked at Gu Liheng’s expression as he asked, “Do you want children?”

“No hurry,” Gu Liheng said, “wait until you are ready.”

Su Ling wrapped his hand around his neck, “En.”

Soon, another year passed, and they reached the second semester of the sophomore year, the semester with the most experimental courses in spiritual plant major. Su Ling is very happy because he is interested in doing experiments. Unlike when he first came to Planet Belle, he now has theoretical knowledge, so making fragrances is more interesting. Before the experiment, he will use the composition of different raw materials to predict the fragrance and effect of the finished product. After the finished product is out, he will compare the two. If his prediction is correct, he will feel happier than winning the grand prize in a lottery.

In the past few days, he has been using his spare time to make fragrances. Although he has a full set of equipment in the villa, he has been doing the experiments at school for the surprise. This is his birthday gift for male god’s 30 years old birthday.

After dinner that day, Gu Liheng hugged Su Ling and said with a little bit upset, “Ling Ling, I’m going to Klai on a business trip tomorrow morning, but I will be back on the 5th.”

In the past 2 years, male god has been occasionally going on business trips and Su Ling was used to it. This time, he is even a little happy when he heard it. He was not satisfied with the gift and wanted to do more experiments to strive for perfection. If male god is not at home, he can use the equipment at home and have more time for experiments.

“Your birthday on the 6th so you have to return early on the 5th,” Su Ling thought for a while and said, “I want to spend the first second of your 30 years old with you!”

Gu Liheng: “Alright.”

That night, Gu Liheng did it fiercely because he would not be able to see his Omega in the next few days.

When Su Ling woke up, his body felt refreshing although his waist was still sore, and Gu Liheng had already left. He opened his bracelet and saw the message he left.

Male god: “Sorry, I didn’t control myself. Take a good rest, I simmered some soup in the kitchen. You can drink it after you wake up.”

Su Ling smiled and went to the bathroom while replying: “Just wake up, I’m fine. Are you there yet?”

Male god: “Not yet, I should be reaching at 10.00 am. Contact me if you need something, or call Hua Cheng.”

“En, don’t worry.”

Su Ling drank the soup after washing and stayed in the fragrance-making room. When he received a call from Gu Liheng midway, he quickly ran to the sofa half-lying, pretending to be very idle, so as not to let male god worry.

In the early morning of the 4th, Su Ling is still staying in the fragrance-making room. His eyes were focused as he carefully took out the samples from the aging device to feel the difference of each product. When he smelled the fragrance he wanted in his heart, a smile appeared on his face. Next, he carefully selected the raw materials according to the formula, and began to make his gift. An hour later, he poured the fragrance into a square glass bottle and screwed on the cap. Looking at the gift he made, Su Ling finally relaxed. At this moment, it turned dark in front of his eyes and he fainted suddenly.

Xian Mo Yu has been standing in the corner. All of its roots rushed over and caught Su Ling when he fell, “Son!”

On the other hand, Lóng Mo Téng rushed to the living room. Domi was walking quickly to the fragrance-making room when it wrapped around Domi. Domi’s eyes flashed, and it started calling for an ambulance, and at the same time notifying Gu Liheng.
