Surprised flashed in Su Ling’s eyes, someone came to claim the spiritual plants? No one has contacted him since he posted that statement on his Boyan page. Hence, he did not expect someone to show up now. Who is that person? According to Nalu, the spiritual plants were given to Mother Qin by someone else. Could it be someone who liked Mother Qin before?

“What are you thinking?” As Su Ling was thinking, Gu Liheng strode into the bedroom and asked.

He only went downstairs not long ago, but he was worried about Su Ling so he kept watching the room through the surveillance camera. So, when he saw Su Ling opened his eyes, he immediately went upstairs.

Su Ling supported himself to sit up, “Uncle Nalu…”

Hearing his hoarse voice make him paused. Then some pictures of him asking for mercy and even crying inevitably appeared in his mind. His face flushed instantly, feeling embarrassed and awkward; that person is not him! He cleared his throat, but this was just in vain as his voice did not change much, “Uncle Nalu said that someone went to the store to claim the spiritual plants.”

“I’ll ask someone to check the identity of that person. You can go there in a few days.” Gu Liheng said, putting the tray in his hand on the bedside table.

Su Ling smelled the fragrant and strong food scent, and he couldn’t stop himself from salivating. Turning sideways, he stretched his neck over to look and exclaimed, “It smells good!”

“Chicken soup simmered in an ancient casserole,” Gu Liheng spooned a small bowl of soup for Su Ling and set it aside. Then he bent over to pick Su Ling up, “It’s too hot, wait until you finish washing up.”

Su Ling leaned on Gu Liheng’s shoulders and was enveloped in a strong sense of security. He didn’t feel embarrassed by their interactions at all. On the contrary, the intimacy makes him happy and he readily agreed with male god’s suggestions from the bottom of his heart.

While brushing his teeth, Su Ling looking in the mirror. Gu Liheng stood by his side and had an arm around his waist, keeping his eyes on him, unwilling to move away for a second. Su Ling thought of what he read in the physiology book. After permanent marking, the Alpha will have absolute possessiveness and protection desire for the Omega, while the Omega will rely on and obey the Alpha. He was still very skeptical at first because how could things in his heart (feelings) be affected by physiological reactions? Now he knows, it does have an impact.

Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Liheng carried Su Ling and walked to the bed. Su Ling patted his arm and said, “I want to go to the dining room.”

Gu Liheng worriedly said, “You need to rest more.”

Su Ling smiled and calmly said, “I have been asleep for a long time. I only started moving a while ago and I’m in good spirits.”

Checking at his expression, Gu Liheng made sure that he is not forcing himself. And so, he carried him downstairs, and Domi went upstairs to bring the chicken soup to the dining room. The two of them had their meal and, as Su Ling suggested, they went to rest on the deck chairs in the garden. Gu Liheng hugged Su Ling and massaged the sore parts on his body. The sun shone on his body through the gaps in the leaves, making Su Ling squinted lazily. He rested his head on male god’s shoulder; feeling safe and comfortable. In the next two days, the two were almost inseparable. Su Ling recovered very well under male god’s massage and nutritious good food.

Su Ling woke up very early on this day. He has been sleeping too much lately and he is not missing any sleep at all. However, it is rare to see male god’s sleeping face so he lay on the bed and admired the scene for a while. All of a sudden, at the corner of his eyes he saw something moving by the window. He turned his head and recognized Xian Mo Yu’s roots at a glance. Smiling, he lightly got out of bed and walked downstairs. Before he could step down the last step, his wrist was entangled with roots.

Following the pull from the roots, Su Ling walked to the corner of the spiritual plant room and saw 2 Flower Bud Grass standing side by side. Sensing his presence, the 2 spiritual plants bent their branches towards him. Su Ling turned to look at Lóng Mo Téng on Xian Mo Yu’s petals, and smiled, “Uncle Lóng, thank you.”

Needless to ask, for the small flower bud to grow up to adulthood, it is definitely the result of Uncle Lóng’s daily supply of vine liquid. That was really a surprise! The fragrance bar needs high-level inhibitors for emergencies, and to do so he needs raw materials.

Lóng Mo Téng calmly wrote, “It is a waste anyway if I don’t use it.”

Xian Mo Yu shook its roots and said, “I teach them to read every day!”

Hearing that, 3 Grade A spiritual plants and 2 Flower Bud Grass shook their leaves together.

Su Ling was amused. Papa Xian’s behavior right now is just like a kindergartener asking for praises. He pinched its roots and said, “Thanks to Papa Xian.”

“BANG…” There was a noise from the door, and Su Ling turned his head.

A figure flashed in front of him and the next second, he was hugged tightly, surrounded by a familiar aura. Su Ling raised his head in surprise, Gu Liheng lowered his head and kissed him, not stopping until he felt like he couldn’t breathe smoothly.

Su Ling sensed Gu Liheng’s anxiety and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Liheng closed his eyes and opened them again. With a dark voice, he said, “I woke up and you are not there.”

Su Ling patted Gu Liheng’s arm and said, “I have been sleeping a lot recently and can’t fall asleep. So I came down to take a look at the spiritual plants.” He pointed to the corner, “Look, the small bud from before has also grown.”

Gu Liheng glanced at the plant, then moved his gaze to Su Ling again, “The next time you leave my side, remember to tell me.”

Su Ling tapped at his eyelid with his index finger and said, “You have been very tired the past few days. Seeing you slept soundly, I didn’t disturb you.”

“No matter how tired I am, you still have to tell me.”

Su Ling saw his seriousness and nodded, “Okay.” Then he pulled male god out of the spiritual plant room, “I will rest with you again.”

Gu Liheng: “No.”

With Su Ling’s insistence, Gu Liheng continued to take a nap for half an hour.

At breakfast, Gu Liheng received the information from Hua Cheng. He called up the holographic screen to show it across the table and watched it with Su Ling.

“Sainz, Alpha, 42 years old, an interstellar merchant. He wanders around different planets to buy and sell goods. 20 years ago, he was trading goods at Planet Klai, and…” Gu Liheng paused at ‘Madam Su or Mother’ before continuing with, “Met Mother.”

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng and smiled. He said, “Call Mother Qin.”

In order to distinguish between his mother (Qin Min) from Mother Gu, he got used to calling that.

Gu Liheng nodded.

Su Ling looked at the information and pondered, “The timing is right, and the chances of interstellar merchants owning a rare spiritual plant are also very high. Maybe he did give the 3 spiritual plants to Mother Qin.”

Gu Liheng: “It’s not necessarily. Anyone who has been in contact with Mother Qin is possible.”

Su Ling: “I have to meet him.”

Gu Liheng: “I will accompany you.”

Su Ling contacted Nalu and make an appointment.

At 2.00 pm, Su Ling and Gu Liheng came to the fragrance bar.

Nalu was sitting in the deck seat further back. Opposite him is a tall Alpha, with profound facial features. His skin was dark wheatish, and his lips were pale, giving the sense of a brutal handsome look. Nalu got up and introduced, “This is Sainz.” He then sat next to Sainz, pointing to the opposite seat, “Sit down and talk.”

Su Ling and Gu Liheng sat across from them.

Sainz’s blue eyes had a cold texture. He didn’t speak immediately, but looked at Gu Liheng, before shifting to Su Ling.

“Are you Min’s son?” Sainz asked, his voice rough and slightly hoarse.

Su Ling nodded, “Yes,” he got straight to the point, “Do you want to get back 3 spiritual plants?”

Sainz: “Yes,” he narrowed and a sharp flash glinted as he opened his eyes, “I gave them to Min, hoping she would marry me.”

After he said that, Sainz clenched his fist and thumped the tabletop with a ‘BANG’. He didn’t care, and his anger was obvious, “She actually left with the spiritual plants and got married someone else anonymously. This is an insult to me.”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly and wrapped his arms around Su Ling’s waist. Then he glared at Sainz, “Please follow an Alpha’s gentlemanly demeanor and don’t make an unnecessary ruckus.”

Sainz glanced at Gu Liheng and leaned back in his chair. He apologized to Su Ling, “Sorry, it’s just that I suffered too much.”

Su Ling didn’t care about the sound, but he knew that male god is still influenced by their permanent marking. At this moment, he(GLH) regarded him very importantly, and at the same time felt that he is very fragile. Stretching out his hand to cover the back of male god’s hand, Su Ling smiled at Gu Liheng before asking Sainz, “How do you prove that the 3 spiritual plants belong to you?” He added, “I hope you can understand that I am not trying to monopolize the spiritual plants, but Grade A spiritual plants are very precious. Many people have intentions on them. I must be cautious.”

Sainz: “Of course I understand. Thank you for your caution. If I get the news that the spiritual plants have been cheated away when I come, I won’t be happy.” He leaned forward slightly, “You are an Omega. Then you should have communicated with the 3 Grade A spiritual plants before? You can let them share their memories, and you will know that they belong to me.”

Su Ling shook his head, “I have asked them before I came here. They have been frozen for 20 years so their memory is incomplete. There are only fragments of pictures, and they were sent to my mother by mail, not by hand. They can’t identify the identity of gift’s sender.”

The field of vision of the three spiritual plants was from the forest, in the storage box, in the mail express box, and then to Mama Qin’s hands. During this period, the sender’s face did not show up at all.

Sainz frowned unhappily, “The fact that I made this proposal, shouldn’t it be enough proof? If I were a liar, would I suggest that? If the spiritual plants have memories of their owner, you would be able to catch me red-handed on the spot.”

Su Ling hesitated.

Gu Liheng stated in a steady tone, “The news of the 3 spiritual plants were widely spread in Planet Belle. The part about them being kept frozen is not a secret either. It is not difficult to find out that long-term freezing treatment will cause the spiritual plant to lose part of its memory.”

“People who know the gifting process would not even have to think about checking the memory of the spiritual plant and even daringly proposed to do so, because they know that the sender did not show his face. You may be the sender, or you may just some other people know about it.”

Gu Liheng stared at Sainz, “Perhaps, you can submit the mailing information of that year.”

Su Ling’s eyes lit up slightly, “Yes, mailing information can prove it.”

Sainz’s brows tightened, his eyes scanned between the two, and finally stopped on Gu Liheng, “Did you investigate me?”

Gu Liheng did not deny.

Sainz snorted coldly, “Then you know that not long after Min disappeared, I had an accident. At that time, I barely survived. My bracelet was destroyed and the data was lost, but you still deliberately made this request.”

Next, Sainz shouted angrily at Su Ling, “Your post in Boyan is just for people to see, you don’t intend to return the spiritual plants at all! You were attracted by their value!”

Su Ling was firm with his standing and he didn’t do anything wrong. So he is not afraid at all, and raises his doubts, “Mailing information can be restored through identity verification, and the history records are in the identity account.”

Hearing that, Sainz’s expression looked ugly, “The 3 Grade A spiritual plants were given out behind my team member’s back. How could I use my ID account? At that time, I was so charmed. To think I actually used the Grade A spiritual plants to please a liar Omega!”

Su Ling couldn’t help saying, “Mother didn’t lie to you. She was going to return the spiritual plants, but her father didn’t allow it. She left to avoid her father.”

Sainz was silent for a moment before saying, “If so, why didn’t she return it later then?”

Su Ling was not sure of this person’s identity and did not want to reveal too much about Mother Qin’s information. Instead of answering, he asked, “Is there anything else you can prove that the spiritual plants belong to you?”

Sainz thought for a moment before saying, “Yes! The reason why I launched a fierce pursuit at the beginning was actually not completely hot-headed one-sidedly, Min responded to my courting as well.”

Su Ling and Nalu looked at each other. Mother Qin had feelings for the person who gave her the spiritual plants.

“If I wasn’t desperate, I would not say it,” Sainz said. “There is a black mole under the butterfly bone (wing bone) on the right side of her back.”

Su Ling looked at Nalu, and Nalu waved his hands, “I don’t know about that!”

Su Ling has a headache and asked, “Do we have to go to the Su family to ask?”

If Father Su heard the question, one wonders if his face would turn green.

Su Ling stared at the box for 2 seconds, then his eyes widened in surprise. People in Planet Belle rarely consumed nutrient packs, so most of them are supplied to the army. The energy of a nutrient pack is greater than the energy of a meal. The taste is not as good as normal cooked food, but it is simple and quick. Right now they have a full box of the packs… Su Ling feels a chill ran down his back inexplicably. Are you telling him that it is difficult to even eat normally during the permanent marking? That realization caused his heart to beat faster; he’s a little scared but kind of anticipating it.

“The kitchen won’t cook these days?” He couldn’t help asking.

Gu Liheng has a deep gaze as he replied, “You won’t be able to eat it even if the kitchen cooked. The nutrient from the pack is more suitable.”

Su Ling: “So exaggerated?”

Gu Liheng walked up to Su Ling and looked down to check his expression, “Afraid?”

Su Ling hasn’t answered yet, but Gu Liheng grabbed his hand and held it inside his palm. He added, “How about we get the certificate another day? And when you are ready then…”

“I’m ready!” Su Ling interrupted Gu Liheng with a firm expression, “Go today.”

This is his goal right from the start. Seeing that he is about to achieve it, even if he feels a little apprehensive, he will never shrink back. Su Ling glared at Gu Liheng, “Don’t tell me that you are regretting it?”

Gu Liheng kissed Su Ling on the forehead, “No.”

Laughing, Su Ling dragged Gu Liheng with him downstairs. The two had breakfast together, then went back to their room to change into couple style suits. Gu Liheng rarely wears white at ordinary times, and this couple suit is white. Su Ling’s gaze couldn’t help chasing his figure, from leaving the bedroom to getting into the car, without moving away.

Too handsome and knightly, Su Ling sighed silently.

Gu Liheng shook Su Ling’s hand, “You have been staring at me for some time. Nervous?”

Su Ling shook his head and said honestly, “No, you are so handsome.”

Raising his hand, Gu Liheng stroked the end of Su Ling’s hair, and said with a smile in his eyes, “You look good today.”

The young man has fair skin, and his white suit is in sharp contrast with black hair, making his appearance picturesque and delicate.

Su Ling tilted his head and smiled, “When we first met, we also flattered each other like this.”

Gu Liheng: “I didn’t flatter you, just telling the truth.”

Su Ling smiled deeper.

Before long, the car stopped in front of the Building of Civil Affairs. When they walked into the marriage registration department, many pairs of eyes fell on them; both amazed and surprised. Amazed is because they looked really good, and surprised is because of their identities.

“This is President Gu and Su Ling, the owner of the Grade S spiritual plant, right?”

“It’s them, oh my God! I thought they got together just for playing around, I didn’t expect them to get married so soon.”

“I believe in love again. Like Su Ling is an abandoned son of the Su family. Even if he has a Grade S spiritual plant, his status is still too far away from the Gu family who has a profound foundation. For them to get together, this is absolutely true love!”

Su Ling heard the discussion and glanced at Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng looked at him and confirmed with a calm voice, “It’s true love.”

The corner of Su Ling’s mouth curled up. He knew very well that even if he is not an abandoned/unfavoured son, the Su family’s background is far from worthy of the Gu family. Therefore, he and male god are true love!

The two walked to one of the registration counters. The staff stared at them but did not react for a while, still in surprise.

“Can we register now?” Gu Liheng reminded.

“Sorry,” the staff member came back to his/her senses and smiled embarrassedly, “I’ll handle it for you right away.”

After 5 minutes, Gu Liheng and Su Ling left the building.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Su Ling grasped Gu Liheng’s wrist to tap at his bracelet. Then he placed his bracelet side by side with his. The holographic screen that popped up on the bracelet displayed their personal information. The original status [Single] has now changed to [Married], and the name of their partner is filled in the empty box under Partner’s column. After Su Ling looked at it carefully, he turned around and hugged Gu Liheng.

Finally, he is married to male god. He no longer has to worry that the plot in the book will appear. To be honest, he has been worrying about the plot, that Zhao Qi might suddenly appear to do something, or some incident will happen to follow the original story plot. Fortunately, everything went well.

This is the real world, not inside a novel.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Liheng asked softly. Aware of the changes in Su Ling’s mood, he reached out to hold him behind his back.

Su Ling tilted his head and smiled, “It’s okay, I’m just very happy.”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling’s face. There were smiles in his eyes as well, and he(GLH) lowered his head to kiss him on his cheek, “Me too.”

Back at the villa, after the driver left, they walked into the living room with the villa door closing behind them.

Taking off his isolator, Su Ling glanced at Gu Liheng, and pointed to the spiritual plant room, “You go upstairs first.” Seeing Gu Liheng nodding, he then walked into the spiritual plant room.

The spiritual plant room has been remodeled. The entire wall facing outside has been replaced with an automatic door. The switch button is on the sidewall. Whether it is Xian Mo Yu or Lóng Mo Téng, they can easily tap at it to open or close the door. Su Ling took out Xian Mo Yu and waited for Lóng Mo Téng to shift onto the petals, then he gave them some reminders.

“Papa Xian, Uncle Lóng, stay in the villa to play these days, don’t go out,” he coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed as he added, “and don’t look for me either.”

Although they are only spiritual plants, their IQs are not low. Needing to purposely remind them still makes Su Ling feels a little embarrassed. But if he doesn’t remind them, something will definitely happen which then will make things even more embarrassing. Uncle Lóng is okay with how things go but Papa Xian might look for him if it didn’t see him for a few days.

Xian Mo Yu: “Oh, I got it. You want to do permanent marking, Ah Lóng already told me about it.”

Su Ling: “…” Uncle Lóng sure knows a lot.

After thinking about it, it is normal that Uncle Lóng knew. After all, except when they are in the villa, Uncle Lóng is always wrapped around his wrist. Although it has been pretending to be an accessory and usually does not say a word, it probably remembers everything that happens around it. Though the two plants are not his real elders, Su Ling is still a bit embarrassed to let them know. He cleared his throat and reached out to touch Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves, “Uncle Lóng, have to trouble you to take care of Papa Xian.”

The leaves moved up and down, and Lóng Mo Téng wrote a word, “Okay.”

Su Ling said a few more words to Xian Mo Yu and pinched its root before leaving the spiritual plant room.

After he left, Xian Mo Yu’s roots rose to wrap around the vine’s leaves. Its tone excited, “My son is so sweet and he asked you to look after me!”

The leaf turned its direction and stabbed the root, “Idiot, stop your stupid thoughts. He just doesn’t believe you can stay good by yourself.”

Xian Mo Yu immediately drew a big crying expression (T____T), “Really? Am I so unreliable in my son’s heart? Am I not the most dependable and stable father? Am I…”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Shut up and stop your tirades!”

The tearful expression filled Lóng Mo Téng’s consciousness so the leaves moved to touch the roots, “Your son asked me to look after you which means he cares about you. That’s very sweet.”

The tearful expression from Xian Mo Yu instantly changed to a smiling face, and the roots swayed around in the air, “Haha, I said that just now! Did you envy me just now and said those words on purpose?” The roots rubbed against the vine and added, “Don’t be sad, when my son comes out, I will help you to teach him a lesson for not caring about you and ask me to take care of you!”

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves curled up on the petals, looking like it is about to rest, “Oh.”

…

As soon as Su Ling exited the spiritual plant room, he smelled the mellow red wine that made his heart beat faster.

Gu Liheng stood at the top of the stairs, leaning on the handrails casually. His suit and shirt were still neat, only the tie was loosened; giving a sense of abstinence and sexiness. He locked Su Ling’s gaze tightly and raised his hand to beckon Su Ling.

All of a sudden, Su Ling’s heartbeat speeded up. He took a deep breath and quickly walked towards Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng’s eyes grew darker, and before Su Ling approached, he took 2 steps forward and carried Su Ling back to the room. The moment their skin touches, it was as if sparks fell into a patch of withered grass, the flame surged the ground and starting a prairie fire. The aroma of red wine mixed together with citrus mint. As they influenced each other, their aroma quickly becomes rich, like a pool of water suddenly turns into a deep ocean, the waves completely engulfed the two.

Su Ling tugged at his collar, his slender fingers trying to unbutton it but his hands slipped off. His body felt soft like a puddle of water and he couldn’t muster any strength at all. Frowning, he tilted his head to utter a tsk, “So annoying.” It felt good to have close contact with male god, but this feeling of weakness makes him feel disgusted, he’s too weak.

Gu Liheng placed the young man on the bed. His breathing blew hot air as he kissed between his(SL) eyebrows. With a deep voice, he held Su Ling’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do it.”

As Gu Liheng often played ball sports (like tennis), there were thin calluses on his fingers. Su Ling being held by him, his irritability and discomfort disappeared immediately. Pulling back slightly, Gu Liheng unbuttoned his suit, followed by his shirt. However, Su Ling couldn’t stand with just his shirts unbuttoned. He stretched out his hand around Gu Liheng’s neck to get closer to him.

The air seemed to ignite. Originally, Su Ling was letting Gu Liheng undress him, but Gu Liheng wasn’t close enough, which made him feel uncomfortable very quickly. He eagerly wanted to be closer to male god. His body felt empty and his head seemed to be filled with hot steam, causing his thinking to become slower; only his instincts were exceptionally clear.

During the whole process, Su Ling has been in a state of chaos. Everything seems like his personal experience, but also like a dream. In the beginning, he could maintain a trace of reason, but later it was all instinct. Soon, the only thing in his mind was to ask for mercy and he just wanted it to end. At the moment of permanent marking, a huge shocking pleasure and pain struck at the same time. He couldn’t help his reaction at all. He cried and tried to back away as far as he could, but he couldn’t move at all.

There were pity and distress in Gu Liheng’s eyes as his fingers stroked Su Ling’s hair. He kissed him comfortingly on his face, and his voice was hoarse, “Don’t be afraid, it will be better soon.”

Su Ling couldn’t think of anything at all. He just sobbed and repeated his words, “You.. let go.”

His appearance aroused Gu Liheng’s desire even more. Not letting go and tightening his hold instead, he used his remaining reason to hug Su Ling to comfort him.

Su Ling gr-o-aned, and he complained with a hoarse, agitated voice, “Liar!”

Su Ling didn’t know how many times he had been tossed around like a flatbread or when he fell asleep. When he woke up, the smell of pheromones in the air has dissipated a lot and his body felt refreshed. Medicine has been applied behind him, so it didn’t feel throbbing and painful. Gu Liheng hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead.

“How are you?” He asked, taking a nutrient pack from the bedside table, “You need to replenish your energy.”

Su Ling didn’t have much strength and didn’t want to refuse him at all, so he drank the nutrient from Gu Liheng’s hand. Looking at Gu Liheng, he has this very strange feeling that though he(GLH) is an independent person completely different from himself, he felt that they are one entity at this moment. Before long, the fragrance in the air became rich once more, the temperature of Su Ling’s body rose rapidly, and the two entangled with each other again. A thought flashed in Su Ling’s mind, ‘No wonder he can’t eat (normal food), there is not enough time to eat it.’

This situation lasted a total of 5 days. There were traces of them all over the place; the entire bedroom, balcony, bathroom, washstand, and even the cloakroom. From the night of the fifth day, Su Ling slept until the morning of the seventh day, which he would occasionally be woken up by Gu Liheng to eat something.

When he finally woke up, he was in good spirits, just that his body is very weak, and there were soreness and weakness everywhere. Whenever he closed his eyes, his mind will be filled with the chaotic and fuzzy scenes that happened these days. Su Ling rubbed his eyebrows, the physiology book didn’t lie. Knotting or whatnots, it turned out to be true. It’s just that personal experience is countless times more profound than how he feels when he read the book. Even when he is thinking about it now, he still can’t help feeling his scalp tingling.

His bracelet vibrated, and he tapped on it. There were 2 messages from Nalu, which were sent one after another.

“After your body recovers, come to the store. Someone wanted to claim the 3 Grade A spiritual plants!”

“But don’t worry, come back after you have a good rest.”

Xian Mo Yu’s appearance instantly hyped up the atmosphere in the fragrance bar. Countless pairs of eyes fell on Xian Mo Yu. Scrupulous about the lethality of the black liquid, no one dared to come close, but they watched Xian Mo Yu from a distance and discussed excitedly with their companions. Many guests regained their senses from the surprise and quickly contacted their relatives and friends: “Come to Tian Ling Fragrance Bar! Xian Mo Yu is in the bar!”

Someone also wrote in their Boyan: “Oh my God, I saw the Grade S spiritual plant with my own eyes, and I only spent the price of a cup of fragrance. This is great!”

It is forbidden to take photos in the fragrance bar, but Boyan has a positioning function. So, people who saw the post soon understood which bar he/she is talking about.

Tian Ling Fragrance Bar has reopened, and Xian Mo Yu is out here in the bar!

This news quickly swept the Internet, and within half an hour, the upper and lower floors of the fragrance bar were full of people. Nalu smiled and walked to the door to put up a sign stating that they are currently ‘Full’. The guest who had just arrived at the door hurriedly took Nalu’s hand and said, “Manager, please let me in. The bar won’t be affected by adding one more person!”

Nalu pulled his hand away, “Sorry, in order to ensure a social environment for guests, we have a quota for the number of guests, so you cannot enter at the moment.”

After Nalu returned to the main hall, the security guard is guarding at the door. Anyone who wanted to enter the door will receive a unanimous reply: “How many people come out, that is how many people can get in.”

Of course, there are exceptions.

Lin Meng stared at the people lined up at the store entrance and kicked Xiào Rui’s calf. Then he adjusted his collar with a blushing face, “I told you to come early!”

Grabbing Lin Meng’s hand, Xiào Rui helped him to adjust his collar to hide the red marks, “You can’t blame me for this. You look so good today.”

Lin Meng glared at Xiào Rui, “I was planning to join Ling Ling with the reopening!”

Xiào Rui squeezed his finger comfortingly, “Contact Su Ling, you should be able to enter through the back door.”

The business is so good in the shop that all the staff wished that they could grow out ‘3 heads and 6 arms’ (to handle the orders). Su Ling and Xiao Bian are each responsible to make fragrance drinks for customers in different areas. A holographic screen is lit on Su Ling’s right hand, which are the guests’ orders, arranged in chronological order. When he finished making a drink, he will tap on that order on the screen. A ‘Completed’ sign will appear in the upper right corner, and a small note will be printed, showing the location of the guest and the order. Then the holographic screen will automatically change to show the next order to be made. As for the waiters, they will come over upon receiving the message and bring the fragrance to the guest.

Su Ling has just completed an order and was about to continue when he received a call from Lin Meng. He opened the panel of the bar’s security system and remotely unlocked the back door. After the two came in, he closed the back door again and said, “Sorry, it’s very busy here. Come to the main hall.”

Lin Meng: “It’s okay. I saw a lot of people line up at the front door. You can go do your own thing, not need to take care of us.”

Lin Meng and Xiào Rui arrived at the bar. Su Ling raised his head to say hello, and asked, “What do you want to drink?”

However, Lin Meng’s attention was all on Xian Mo Yu. Xian Mo Yu’s roots were scattered in the air, and two of them fell from above the bar to Su Ling’s side. Staring at the roots, Lin Meng said, “We won’t jump the queue, we will place the order ourselves.” As he said that, he nudged Xiào Rui with his elbow, and Xiào Rui placed their order. Lin Meng tapped his fingers on the bar several times, and finally couldn’t help asking Xian Mo Yu, “Can I touch your root[1]?”

Xian Mo Yu stretched out a root in front of Lin Meng and his eyes lit up. He reached and lightly squeezed the root; the touch was slightly cool and bouncy. He was about to squeeze again, but the root removed itself from his grip.

Lin Meng supported his cheeks with his palms, envious showing in his gaze as he sighed, “I also want to have a Xian Mo Yu for myself.”

Su Ling smiled. In his case, it was totally unexpected that he came across Xian Mo Yu. He raised his hand and squeezed the root, “Tell me if you feel bored. I will send you back to the backyard.”

“No,” Xian Mo Yu swayed, “It’s great here!”

Lin Meng and Su Ling chatted at the bar for a while, then he(LM) went behind the bar to help, while Xiào Rui and Gu Liheng sat down and chatted together.

Lin Meng: “How about going on a trip to other planets together in the last month of our holiday?” His eyebrows curved in joy as he continued, “Ah Rui’s grandpa is fine now and you don’t need to come to harvest the liquid every day. You should have time, right?”

Su Ling shook his head, “Not for the time being, I will get the certificate with Brother Liheng[2] tomorrow.”

“What?” Lin Meng stared at Su Ling, then lowered his voice and smiled ambiguously, “Is it because President Gu can’t help it anymore and wants to mark you completely?”

Su Ling: “No,” he glanced at Lin Meng’s neck before adding, “Brother Liheng is more tolerant than Xiào Rui.”

Hearing the meaning in Su Ling’s words, Lin Meng blushed and turned his head away. Then he turned around again after a while to ask, “You have a high compatibility rate, right?”

Su Ling nodded.

Lin Meng: “For permanent marking, an AO pair with a high compatibility rate will definitely fall into estrus passively[3],” he smiled, “rest assured, I won’t disturb you in the next few days.”

Su Ling is not shy by their conversation and frankly said, “I just want to let you know that I will be out of touch in the next few days,” he shrugged, “You won’t be able to disturb me either way.”

Lin Meng is regarded as his only friend. If he(LM) couldn’t contact him for a few days, he will inevitably be worried.

Lin Meng smiled brightly, “That’s my friend!”

They continued chatting and Xian Mo Yu shook its roots. It spread its attention around, listened to the guests’ conversation, and then shared its findings with Lóng Mo Téng while making some remarks.

An hour later, Su Ling saw that Lin Meng looked tired. Thinking of the red marks on his neck, he resolutely refused Lin Meng to continue helping out; making him go back to rest. As for Xian Mo Yu, after listening to the guests chatting for more than an hour, the excitement dies down, and it turned its attention to Su Ling again. The fragrance bar is constantly full and the waiters are too busy to stop by. Hence, the drinks Su Ling made stood a long line on the counter. Xian Mo Yu’s roots swayed beside the fragrance drink on the far left, curling up the glass, and wrote to Su Ling, “I’ll help.”

These words flashed in Su Ling’s mind. Before he could stop Xian Mo Yu, the drink had risen into the air. The root turned flexibly in the air and delivered the fragrance to the middle table on the right.

“Ah!” The guests at that table were shocked when they saw a root and a fragrance drink coming down from above. When they realized what happened, they were surprised and exclaimed, “Wow!”

The root loosened the glass and quickly left.

The guest happily held his drink while receiving admiring glances from other people – this was delivered by the Grade S spiritual plant after all!

Su Ling quickly picked up the notes on the tray and looked at it, then he asked the waiter where it was delivered. After making sure the order was correctly delivered, he squeezed the root beside his hand, “So smart.”

The roots swayed happily and 12 roots rushed to the bar. After a while, 12 glasses of fragrance drinks were picked up and delivered to the guests steadily.

The guests were very surprised, and they were extremely excited because it was the Grade S spiritual plant that delivered their drinks.

“I want Xian Mo Yu to send it too!” A guest requested.

“Me too!” Many guests echoed the request.

Because of the ‘new waiter’ Xian Mo Yu, customers who have ordered fragrance previously can’t help but order another drink again, just so that their drink can be delivered by Xian Mo Yu. Hence, the slightly slower business became busy again.

Xian Mo Yu has a lot of roots and they moved back and forth in the air to do the delivery. There is no table or chair to obstruct the way so its working speed is very fast. Although the business is suddenly booming, the waiters are more relaxed.

Nalu rested his arm on the bar counter with a smile and praised, “Xian Mo Yu deserved to be called the best waiter.”

Glancing at the stage, Su Ling who knows Xian Mo Yu very well said, “It just feels fun for a while and won’t keep doing it.”

Nalu expressed that it didn’t matter and added, “Even if it’s only a few minutes, Xian Mo Yu is still the best promoter,” he exclaimed. “What a treasure.”

Su Ling nodded in agreement and felt very warm thinking about what Xian Mo Yu had said about making money to raise him(SL).

Nearing midnight after 11.00 pm, there are still a lot of people in the store. Most of them have stayed in the fragrance bar for quite some time and not leaving yet, and there are not many new customers coming in. Therefore, although the Fragrance Bar is lively, the staff felt much more leisurely.

There were many AO pairs among the guests. They removed their isolator upon entering the fragrance bar and their pheromone was very stable over the night. For a large-scale fragrance bar, using fragrance products to ensure the stability of the AO guest’s pheromone after they removed their isolator is the basic work and the primary challenge. However, even with a large-scale fragrance bar, it is difficult to ensure an A or O in a stable state the entire night.

A customer couldn’t help asking, “Boss, what fragrance do you use in your store? Can you sell me some?” He exclaimed, “My pheromone is super stable tonight. I was not affected by the pheromone at all while chatting with an Omega. It feels really great!”

Su Ling: “Bought it online, it’s the one with the highest sales volume.”

“I know that one, but it doesn’t have such a good effect.”

Su Ling smiled, “En, the effect is good tonight, mainly because of the fragrance Xian Mo Yu released.”

To make a general fragrance, Su Ling could use his raw materials to do a lot of experiments but without proper learning, it is difficult for him to make fragrances that could stabilize the AO’s pheromone. The ones currently used in the store are the same as before, all bought by Nalu. Of course, just in case, he made some fragrance that could hide pheromones and advanced inhibitors for Nalu to deal with emergencies. No one can guarantee that there won’t be cases where an Omega suddenly falling into estrus, or if a highly matched AO pair accidentally meets in the fragrance bar and then reacted to each other. In these two cases, ordinary and stable fragrances will not work, and better medicines are needed.

The guests understood and their gaze on Xian Mo Yu turned hotter.

When it is almost midnight, Nalu urged Su Ling to go, “Go back to rest, you just reached adulthood, staying up late is not good. Plus, tomorrow you…” He paused and pulled Su Ling by his sleeves out of the bar, “Go, go, go…”

Su Ling did not refuse, he was really tired actually, “Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Nalu.”

Nalu waved his hand, “What hard work? We are all used to this working time. Don’t worry, the bar won’t have any problem with the medicine you gave me.”

Su Ling uttered an En and walked to the stage to put Xian Mo Yu in his space storage.

Gu Liheng had dealt with his matters a long time ago and kept looking at Su Ling. So he walked over and they went out together. Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling and sat in the back seat of the car, “Lean on my shoulder and rest for a while.” Su Ling leaned against him and he held Su Ling’s hand while gently rubbing his wrist.

Yawning, Su Ling closed his eyes. His voice was low and dull as he said, “Call me when we arrived. I want to take a shower before going to bed.”

“Alright.” Gu Liheng responded.

When Su Ling woke up again, Gu Liheng is helping him undress. The water in the bathtub next to him was steaming slightly.

“I woke you up?” Gu Liheng immediately realized that Su Ling is awake, and asked while looking annoyed by himself.

Su Ling lowered his head and saw that the first 4 buttons of the shirt he wore specially for the opening ceremony were unbuttoned. He raised his eyebrows slightly at Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng removed his hand and lightly stepped back. But Su Ling put his hands on his shoulders. Closing his eyes, he leaned back and said, “I’m tired and sleepy.”

In the fragrance bar today, Su Ling stood in front of the bar counter for almost 5 hours, and he also needs to make drinks so he is really tired. Gu Liheng felt distressed and embraced Su Ling, “Sleep.”

Su Ling allowed Gu Liheng to undress him. Then he seems to have nodded off again. Only when he is soaking in the hot water, he sighed comfortably and then fell asleep without knowing. When he woke up again, it is already the next morning. After he woke up, he got up for a second and looked around, but he didn’t see Gu Liheng. Glancing at the time, he saw that it is less than half-past seven. When he came out of the bathroom, Gu Liheng came in from the door with a box in his hand. Domi followed behind him while carrying a bigger box.

“What is this?” Su Ling asked.

Gu Liheng put the box on the bedside table. His eyes shifted slightly, and he paused before answering, “Nutrition packs.”

1] Tecnically, it’s not ‘touch’. Lin Meng is asking if he could pinch/squeeze the root like how you will do to a baby’s hand XD Anyway, it doesn’t translate nicely to English in this sentence _(;3/

[2] Another awkward word that cannot be translated nicely. Su Ling said ‘Liheng ge’. Everyone should know that Ge/Gege means big brother. In this case, the ‘ge’ here is an endearment term. Still, it doesn’t sound as nice as it does in Chinese (or Korean – hyung XD)

[3] Probably sounds awkward but Banana thinks Lin Meng is actually stating a general remark about high compatibility AO can easily affect each other into estrus. It doesn’t have to be talking about permanent marking. Reread the raw twice but I still dunno what he wants to say :v

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

In the last few days of July, Su Ling spends most of the time in the spiritual plant room. After lunch, he will do some exercise before going out to check out some houses. Finally, on 1st August, he bought a villa. The villa is located between the fragrance bar and the Banshan villa area. Though the location is not as good as the Banshan villa area, the price is not cheap. Su Ling almost spent all of his money to buy the villa, and the overall area was not large as well.

On their way back home, Gu Liheng’s brows were slightly furrowed the whole journey. He kept his gaze forward, not looking at Su Ling. Su Ling put a hand on Gu Liheng’s shoulder, and leaned his head over, “Are you angry?”

Gu Liheng pressed his thin lips lightly but eventually turned his head after a while. Su Ling’s head was on his shoulder, and their face was very close. His face brushed Su Ling’s lips when he turned his head and his eyes moved slightly.

“The villa you like is at Zone 3.” Gu Liheng stated, not asking a question.

Su Ling’s eyes curved with smiles. He really likes the villa at Zone 3 very much. The whole architectural style appeals to him, but the overall area is too large and it is seriously over-capitalized. He smiled and said, “The one at Zone 5 is also very good; small but fully equipped.”

Looking at Su Ling, Gu Liheng finally said what he minded, “You don’t want to spend my money.”

Su Ling said, “Of course, I have to be the one to pay for my pre-marriage house,” he grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and smiled, “Don’t think too much about it. It doesn’t matter whether Zone 3 or 5, I just need to buy one under my name. It’s not like you want me to stay there, right?

“No,” Gu Liheng shook his hand, “Stay with me at Banshan villa. When it’s time for you to go to school, it will be closer.”

Su Ling nodded without hesitation, “Okay.”

Seeing that the young man immediately agreed with him, Gu Liheng’s expression was much softer. He could understand why the young man insisted on buying his own house before getting married. However, the young man rather buys the house he didn’t like the most than spending his money. It gives him the illusion that the young man drew a clear between them and might leave at any time. The young man’s attitude made him feel uneasy.

At 5.30 pm, Su Ling and Gu Liheng had dinner in advance before going to Tian Ling Fragrance Bar. The fragrance bar has a brand new look now. From the street view, it no longer looks shabby. The main building’s colors are blue and white, which is very conspicuous. As soon as he entered the bar, Su Ling smelled a faint fragrance. There was a circular space (for stage) in the middle of the bar, with deck seats on both left and right sides, while private rooms are on the second floor. The overall style is cozy and fresh, with light and bright colors, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. The staff in the store greeted Su Ling one after another and smiled ambiguously when they saw Gu Liheng.

Sitting at the bar, Nalu turned around the swivel chair and waved when he heard the sound from the door.

“Uncle Nalu,” Su Ling greeted as he approached. Holding Gu Liheng’s hand with a smile, he proceeds to introduce him, “Let me officially introduce him, my boyfriend, Gu Liheng.”

“President Gu.” Nalu stood up subconsciously.

Gu Liheng: “Not need to be polite, just call my name.”

Nalu is a bit older than Gu Liheng. Hence, upon hearing Gu Liheng’s words, he followed the flow and said, “Li Heng.” He patted Gu Liheng on the shoulder and said, “We just reopen today so I will be busy later. Let’s find some time to have a drink next time.”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Okay.”

A waiter asked for Nalu and he turned to answer the question. When he is free, Su Ling said,
“I will go to see the spiritual plant shed.”

Nalu acknowledged with an En and went busy again.

Su Ling took Gu Liheng to the backyard. The original spiritual plant shed has been demolished and turned into a fully transparent spiritual plant room. There are 3 floors in total and at the entrance were stairs for people to walk up. There is also a conveyor belt (lift?) so that flower pots can be placed directly on it. The spiritual plant room is equipped with a fully automatic cultivation system. The system might be useless towards spiritual plants of different levels and high levels. But the raw materials in the store are all low-grade, so it suits his need; convenient and easy.

Next to the spiritual plant room is the fragrance making room, which has not changed much from before. It was just renovated, and it looked empty due to lack of equipment. Su Ling took Xian Mo Yu and 2 Grade A spiritual plants out of his space storage. Then he took out their nutrient solution. Xian Mo Yu opened up its petals, and its roots swayed in mid-air, obviously feeling happy. Su Ling lightly squeezed a root and said, “Papa Xian, stay here. Since the shop reopens today, I will have to stay back in the shop a little longer tonight.”

Xian Mo Yu wrote a mental word to Su Ling, “Okay.”

Hearing Su Ling’s words, Lóng Mo Téng stopped its movement towards Xian Mo Yu’s petals and returned to wrap around his wrist again.

After Su Ling settled down the spiritual plants, he went to the bar to ask if the raw materials are enough.

Nalu: “I have prepared a lot, it should be enough.”

Su Ling let Gu Liheng sit in one of the deck seats, and went to help out with some preparations.

At 7.30 pm, the fragrance bar opened on time. The neon signs were lit up, and electronic fireworks screens were placed on both sides of the door, together with some signs of the reopening promotion. As soon as the door opened, the guests waiting outside quickly walked in.

At the bar, Nalu’s mood became happy, “It’s good to be famous. I only mention the reopening on the official website but so many people came.”

“Su Ling! It’s great to see you here,” an Omega ran to Su Ling and greeted him in excitement. Then he looked around and asked, “Is Xian Mo Yu there?”

“Hello,” Su Ling smiled and explained, “Here, we provide a place for socializing, and the fragrance bar sells fragrances, not spiritual plants.”

The Omega with a look of anticipation, “I just want to have a look.”

Su Ling politely refused, “Sorry,” he pointed to the fragrance list, “Would you like something to drink? I can introduce you to…”

He recommended in a gentle tone, the Omega was initially disappointed, but soon became interested in the fragrance introduced by Su Ling. He placed an order before returning to his seat. Afterward, many guests asked him to recommend fragrances to them.

An Alpha approached Su Ling and asked, “Can you recommend one to me?”

At the moment, the staff in the store are very busy. Moreover, Su Ling originally came with the intention to help so he smiled, and introduced the fragrances in a friendly manner. The Alpha ordered two cups of soothing fragrances. Then he gave Su Ling a cup and bends down slightly, “You look better than your picture online. Can I buy you a drink?”

Hearing that makes Su Ling raise his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, his shoulders were hugged by someone. Gu Liheng, who was originally sitting at the nearest seat of the bar, stared emotionlessly at the Alpha.

The Alpha froze for a moment, but he quickly recognized Gu Liheng. Embarrassment flashed on his face as he greeted, “President Gu.”

Su Ling leaned his back against male god’s chest. Then he looked at the Alpha with smiles in his eyes, “Sorry, I already have a lover.”

The man knows about Su Ling’s relationship with Gu Liheng, but Alpha generally persistent towards the Omega they are interested in. In their point of view, as long as the Omega is not permanently marked, they will always have the chance to pursue the Omega. Of course, for the extreme type Alpha, permanent marking is the only way, there are no other options. This Alpha is not extreme, he is just trying his luck. After all, no matter who the competitor is, the most important thing is who the Omega likes. However, it is clear that this Omega in front of him likes President Gu very much.

The Alpha shrugged, “That’s a shame,” he smiled at Gu Liheng, “Congratulations.”

Gu Liheng’s eyebrows are slightly loosened and he nodded as a reply.

The Alpha turned and left with the fragrance drink he ordered.

Turning around to look at male god, Su Ling smiled and joked, “Could it be you are worried about me? Don’t forget, I used the pheromone masking agent today.”

Gu Liheng looked down at Su Ling before bending over to kiss him, “Even without your pheromones, you are a charming person.”

Su Ling put his hand around Gu Liheng’s neck, “Speaking so sweetly?”

“When I first liked you, your pheromone was still in an abnormal state.” Gu Liheng calmly used himself as an example.

Su Ling raised his head and took the initiative to kiss Gu Liheng. After a while, he let go and said, “Don’t worry too much. And don’t forget that we will be getting our certificate tomorrow. You will be cut off from contact with the outside world for almost a week. Have you finished arranging the company’s affairs?”

Although Gu Liheng is on holiday at the moment, he will still handle urgent matters and keep in touch with the company at all times, just that he didn’t go to the company. However, this time it is different. It is equivalent to a week of complete disconnection. Of course, the process may take less than a week, but they still have to be fully prepared. Many things must be arranged. In addition to the company’s business, there is also the preparation of daily necessities needed within a week.

With his hand supporting the back of Su Ling’s head, Gu Liheng rubbed a lock of his black hair in his fingers and said, “The arrangement is almost done, but I will buy some more things. Remember to rest when you are tired.”

Su Ling nodded, and Gu Liheng returned to the deck seat.

Nalu waited for Gu Liheng to sit down before leaning close to Su Ling and said, “Tsk tsk tsk. Are you two showing affection in the store on purpose or just want to abuse us single dogs?”

Su Ling looked innocent as he said, “Neither, this is just our everyday interactions.”

Nalu hissed sourly and Su Ling couldn’t help laughing. Then he whispered, “We will get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”

Surprised, Nalu opened his eyes widely, “You are still so young! Are you really confirmed about it? You don’t want to wait and compare a few more people?”

Nalu’s questions made Su Ling felt funny, “It’s on my mind since a long time ago and I have been waiting for such a day to come.”

Nalu stared at Su Ling for a while. After making sure that he is not joking, he sighed, “I never see an Omega as determined as you. You have more ideas than your mother.”

This young man said from the very beginning that he is interested in President Gu. Nalu thought he was just curious or attracted for a while, but he didn’t expect Su Ling to be so determined. He patted Su Ling on the shoulder and said, “Congratulations,” then he frowned, “Should have told me earlier, I don’t know what to give you as a congratulatory gift at the moment.”

Su Ling smiled and said, “I will be cutting off contact with the outside world in the next 7 days. Uncle Nalu working hard at the store is the best gift to me.”

Nalu thought for a while, “Okay, I’ll make it up when you have your wedding.” He patted Su Ling on the shoulder again, “Don’t worry, I’ll be watching the store, no problem.”

Su Ling and Gu Liheng’s public intimate behavior was very effective. No one came to Su Ling on purpose to ask for recommendations anymore. But Su Ling is not staying idle, he went around helping Xiao Bian to make fragrance products, and let the waiters deliver them to the guests.

The positioning of the fragrance bar is good, it was not noisy, and the environment is refreshing. In the middle stage, there are folk artists specially invited by Nalu to play light music. Usually, the area is used for guests to dance in pairs or order songs. But since the bar is reopened today, they specially invited artists to come and play music.

Standing by the bar, with the fragrance wafting at his nose and the soothing music flowing, Su Ling feels particularly comfortable. When making the fragrance beverages, the corners of his mouth stayed curved up. Gu Liheng would look at him occasionally from his business matters, and his expression became softer.

“AH!” Suddenly, a loud cry came from the entrance of the corridor on the right.

Su Ling looked over immediately, but he couldn’t see anyone due to a wall structure blocking a direct view of the corridor. The corridor there is connected to the public toilet and the backyard, but there is a locked door in the backyard. No one is allowed to go to the backyard except for the employees who have access.

Putting down the fragrance in his hand, Su Ling walked out from the bar counter towards the corridor. When he arrived, Nalu was pulling a yellow-haired man out.

“Xian Mo Yu! It must be Xian Mo Yu!” The yellow-haired man struggled and hugged Nalu’s arm, “Let me take a look!”

The man was being pulled out to the hall, and he was talking in a loud voice. When the other guests heard his shouts, they stretched their necks out curiously to listen. Some people couldn’t bear their curiosity and got up to the corridor.

Su Ling glanced at the back door, which was closed tightly.

Nalu shrugged, “I just saw a root rushing back to the backyard just now.”

Su Ling: “…I’ll go take a look.”

Gu Liheng walked to Su Ling, “I’ll go with you.”

“Owner, is Xian Mo Yu here? Can we see it?”

“Yeah, yeah.” Many guests echoed their support to the suggestion.

Su Ling didn’t answer and went to the backyard spiritual plant room with Gu Liheng.

Xian Mo Yu’s petals were gathered up, enclosing the stamen and roots, which look like a big red oval object. Su Ling felt funny to see that because Xian Mo Yu never act like this before. Even if it is sleeping, its roots will still be left out to drink the nutrient solution. This is obviously an act of guilty conscience! He stepped forward and touched the outer wall of the petals. Thinking for a while, he asked, “Papa Xian, how about going outside to play?”

Two roots sprang out immediately; one wrapped around his wrist, and the other stood erected in front of him and swaying happily: “Okay!”

Su Ling: “You can hear my question even when you are sleeping?”

The root standing in front of him was stunned. Lóng Mo Téng on Su Ling’s wrist instantly stretched out and unceremoniously whipped the root: “Idiot!”

The roots slumped to the ground, drew a big crying expression in Su Ling’s mind. Then it added: “I’m so bored, I just want to take a look quietly.” As it ‘said’ that, the root patted the ground, and continued: “It is not long enough, so I opened the door to go out!”

The fragrance-making room is just beside the backyard door, and it is separated from the main hall by the corridor, which was indeed a bit far away. Su Ling thought for a while before saying, “Then you go to the bar with us, but you can’t spray black liquid, or release the bad odor. Also, you can’t hurt anyone with your roots.”

The root bounced up from the ground and nodded rapidly, “Okay, okay.”

Su Ling laughed and contacted Nalu. After that, he put Xian Mo Yu in the space storage. Xian Mo Yu is too wide to pass through the corridor. When he went to the main hall again, many guests waited eagerly and looked behind him. They didn’t see Xian Mo Yu and looked disappointed, “Owner, where is Xian Mo Yu?”

Su Ling smiled and walked to the edge of the empty stage. He said to the guests, “At your request, I will take out Xian Mo Yu. But please don’t hurt it or you will have to bear the consequences.”

As he said that, Su Ling opened his space storage and Xian Mo Yu immediately filled the stage. Its red petals were shining under the lights, which was really beautiful. Exclamation sound could be heard one after another in the bar. At the same time, a strong fragrance exuded from Xian Mo Yu in the air.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots swayed in the air: “Wow, many people! Happy~”

After Su Ling finished drawing the renovation plan, he looked up and met Gu Liheng’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows, “Why are you staring at me?”

Getting caught for staring, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Gu Liheng’s face. Then, his eyes fell on the holographic screen in front of Su Ling and he asked, “You’re done?”

Su Ling’s eyes curved up. He did not continue to tease Gu Liheng for changing the subject and started talking about his idea of transforming the spiritual plant room.

Gu Liheng nodded his head after hearing the idea, “Okay, I will get someone to change it tomorrow.”

In the evening, after dinner, Su Ling pulled Gu Liheng to go out for a walk. Gu Liheng glanced out of the window, the sky is not fully dark yet. His eyes flickered and he said, “I have a gift for you.”

Su Ling: “Gift?”

Gu Liheng uttered an En and led Su Ling to the front yard. The night lights were very bright, and Su Ling saw the speed car parked in front of the entrance right away. Speed cars are different from ordinary cars. It has 2 driving modes, either by land or by air. The metal shell of the dark blue speed car shone under the light. Its overall curves are smooth, and it looks very cool.

The sight of the speed car makes Su Ling’s eyes lit up immediately, and he turned around to ask, “It’s for me?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “En,” Seeing that Su Ling liked it, Gu Liheng had a smile in his eyes and suggested, “Shall I drive you around?”

Su Ling nodded immediately, “Okay!”

The two got into the car and Su Ling sat in the passenger seat beside Gu Liheng. As the car left the ground and getting further and further away, his eyes were bright with amazement and he was very excited, “Is it difficult to get a speed car driving license?”

“No, it’s not difficult.” When Gu Liheng spoke, he was facing Su Ling and didn’t even have to look at the control.

Su Ling laughed, “Then I must get a driver’s license as soon as possible.”

Gu Liheng: “I can teach you.” And so, he drove the speed car around the villa.

Su Ling watched the scenery outside the window for a long time. Then his gaze fell on the control interface.

Gu Liheng explained, “Speed cars have an automatic driving system just like ordinary cars, but sometimes birds fly by in the air. So, driving speed car demands more attention as the driver needs to make some adjustments from time to time.”

Su Ling nodded in understanding and listened carefully to his introduction of each button.

After flying around for more than half an hour and the sky has completely darkened, Gu Liheng drove the speed car back to the villa. Upon getting off the car, Gu Liheng took Su Ling’s hand and said, “Come with me to a place.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “Where?” Didn’t they just come back? Gu Liheng led him through the living room. The lights in the living room went out behind them, and his vision instantly dimmed. Su Ling turned his head subconsciously but Gu Liheng shook his hand and held him by his waist. Then he(GLH) said in a deep voice, “Don’t be afraid.”

Su Ling’s heartbeat quickened by the tone. Suddenly realized something, he chuckled, “You got me out of the villa on purpose?”

Gu Liheng sighed slightly, “You managed to guess it? So there’s no more surprise?”

“I didn’t guess anything.” Su Ling said immediately.

In the darkness, the corner of Gu Liheng’s mouth raised, and he embraced Su Ling to continue walking forward, crossing the corridor, to the dark backyard. The moment they stepped on the grass in the backyard, the area in front of them suddenly lit up. Red roses filled the entire area and it was red color as far as the eyes can see.

“Eh…” Su Ling was stunned and was suddenly picked up to a princess carry by Gu Liheng. Startled, he quickly placed his hand on Gu Liheng’s shoulder.

Gu Liheng glanced at Su Ling and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall down.” He strode to the middle of the flowers and put Su Ling down.

They were surrounded by flowers, and sweet floral fragrance filled their nose. As soon as Su Ling’s feet touched the ground, ‘small lights’ flickered in the flowers, like fireflies. But these little lights were colorful; beautiful and dreamy. Su Ling was surprised, he stared at the little lights, trying to see what it was. At this moment, the person beside him suddenly stood in front of him and knelt down on one knee. Su Ling’s gaze immediately moved down. Even if he had guessed it before, his heartbeat still sped up uncontrollably.

Gu Liheng looked at him from below, his dark eyes were firm and affectionate. Holding Su Ling’s hand with his left hand, he raised his right hand and revealed a small black box in his hand. The lid opened with a flick, revealing the silver ring inside. Gu Liheng’s tone was serious and solemn as he asked, “Ling Ling, will you marry me?”

Su Ling leaned over and kissed Gu Liheng’s lips, “Didn’t you already know the answer?” He stood up straight and took out the ring. Then with a bright smile, he said, “Yes.”

Gu Liheng dropped a kiss on Su Ling’s hand and took the ring to put it on his finger. Su Ling moved his fingers, the ring fits snugly. Turning his wrist, he grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and pulled him up.

Gu Liheng got up and hugged Su Ling, “I’m very happy.”

Amused, Su Ling asked, “You already know the answer, what’s so happy about it?”

Gu Liheng rubbed his fingers behind Su Ling’s ears and let go of him a little. Meeting his eyes, he asked, “Do you like this setup?”

Su Ling looked at the ‘small lights’ floating around and laughed. As a man, he had never expected such a dreamy marriage proposal. The effect of the setup did not shock him. What moved him was male god’s intention. He nodded, “I like it,” he smiled, “In fact, even without this step, I’m alright with getting married directly.”

Gu Liheng: “I don’t want you to feel wronged.”

“I won’t feel wronged by getting married directly,” Su Ling smiled at Gu Liheng. Then he asked, “Who gave you the idea?”

Gu Liheng: “I designed it myself.”

Hearing that makes Su Ling smile deeper. He stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Liheng’s lips again, “What are these colorful lights?”

“Colorful bugs[1].” Gu Liheng replied, keeping his eyes on his face.

Having his curiosity answered, Su Ling held on to male god’s neck and said, “Since I have accepted your proposal, when do we get married?”

The young man’s unconcealed expectation made Gu Liheng’s eyes darker. The young man always showed his feelings for him straightforwardly. Gu Liheng’s heart felt warm, and his hand around the young man’s waist gradually tightened.

“The wedding takes time to prepare. I planned to have the wedding on 10th October, is that okay with you?” He wants to give the young man a perfect wedding.

Su Ling: “More than 2 months?” He blinked, “Can we get the certificate first?”

Gu Liheng looked at him deeply. Su Ling is not shy at all, he reasonably explained, “I have checked the information regarding permanent marking before. The process takes at least 3 days to complete. The higher our compatibility rate, the longer it takes. After marking, there is an indeterminate period of adaptation. Overall, the amount of time we need is at least half of a month.”

“In October, you will go to work and I will have to attend classes in university. We won’t have that much free time to adjust. Right now, this period of time is the most suitable… otherwise, you will have to wait until the winter vacation.”

Then, Su Ling leaned closer to Gu Liheng, their breath fell on each other, “Can you bear it until then?”

Every time they ‘connected’ deeply, Su Ling could feel male god restraining himself. Alpha has a strong possessive desire for their Omega, and permanent marking is a way of complete possession.

Gu Liheng’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and he said in a deep voice, “We can get the certificate in advance.”

Hearing that, Su Ling’s eyes curved up in smiled, and he leaned in to kiss Gu Liheng. No matter what plot is written in the novel, he is the legal companion of male god in this world.

Before going to bed at night, the two determined the date to get their certificate, 2nd August. At that time, Tian Ling Fragrance Bar will be re-opened, and Su Ling doesn’t need to continue to harvest Redthorn Ball liquid for the Xiao family anymore, it is the most suitable time. In fact, it is not impossible to get the certificate even earlier. Just that after getting the certificate, their relationship will be legal and binding. Gu Liheng cannot guarantee that he can restrain himself from marking Su Ling permanently. In case he really did it, both of them will not be able to go out for some time afterward. He can’t be sure that there won’t be any trouble happening.

Soon, the day of Gu Ming’s trial has arrived. Su Ling and Gu Liheng went to Xiao villa to get the ball liquid. They didn’t stay any longer in the villa and went directly to Belle City court. They sat in the auditorium and not far away is Gu An, who looked pale, haggard, and sad. Mother Gu stood at the plaintiff’s bench, her hair was meticulously combed, and she had no makeup. She wore a black suit, making her complexion paler and weaker than usual. However, in the subsequent trial process, no one would underestimate her.

Regarding Father Gu’s case, there were both witness and material evidence. Gu Ming’s defense lawyer was sweating profusely, and the ending was nothing suspenseful. Gu Ming was sentenced to life imprisonment and Gu Ming fainted on the spot. This trial received widespread attention, but the whole process was very fast.

Walking out of the courtroom, Mother Gu walked up to them. Her gaze slid across their clasped hands, and she calmly said to Gu Liheng, “Ah Heng, I want to talk to you.”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling and said, “I will get the driver to take you back first.”

Su Ling nodded, “Okay.” He is not worried that Mother Gu will break them up. Today the murderer[2] is punished. It is normal for Mother Gu to say something to male god.

Mother Gu and Gu Liheng sat in the back seat of the car. They didn’t say a word as the car drove to the Qingdi Cemetery. Gu Liheng’s eyes moved slightly, silently following behind Mother Gu until they stood in front of Gu Yuan’s grave.

Mother Gu looked at the tomb in silence for a long time, and asked, “Are you sure you want to be with Su Ling?”

Gu Liheng’s tone was firm, “Yes.”

Mother Gu turned to look at Gu Liheng. After a while, she asked, “When is the wedding?”

“10th October.”

Mother Gu nodded, “You can go back.”

Gu Liheng looked at his mother and said, “I hope you can bless us.”

“I always thought that my education to you was very successful, and I was even contented that you succeeded in taking charge of the Gu family. You are outstanding…” Mother Gu was silent for a while. At this point, she closed her eyes and asked, “Do you hate me?”

She trembled and looked very fragile, much different from her previous strong image.

Gu Liheng hugged Mother Gu gently, “No, I don’t hate you. I know that it is very difficult for you too.”

Part of the reason why his childhood memories were terrible is that he was affected by his mother’s emotions. Those scoldings were often accompanied by screaming and crying. He is afraid of his mother, not only he is afraid of being scolded, but he is also afraid for his mother’s fear.

Gu Liheng’s tone as he said that was as usual, without any ups and downs, but Mother Gu’s eyes were red. She took a deep breath and stepped back, “You should go back,” she paused, “I planned to travel soon, so I may not be able to come back in time for your wedding.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything else. He only reminded, “Take care and be careful in your travel.”

Mother Gu nodded, “You go first, I want to talk to your father.”

Gu Liheng asked the driver to take good care of Mother Gu and left the cemetery.

Mother Gu stayed for a long time. She talked about the things that happened these years, and also about Gu Ming’s disposal. Then she also talked about Gu Liheng’s marriage and her struggles.

“Ah Heng gets to know him because I need the Redthorn Ball liquid. I know that Giant Bear’s action has nothing to do with him, but as long as I think of you, I can’t forgive anyone. I lost the ability to think to all the things that are related to you.”

“I am taking the doctor’s advice to leave Belle to relax. When I come back, I will see you again.”

…

Su Ling sat in the living room and read the news on the Internet regarding Gu Ming’s sentence. When Gu Liheng walked in, Su Ling immediately looked at him and checked his expression.

Gu Liheng walked closer and rubbed Su Ling’s black hair. Then he sat down beside him and said, “It’s okay.” He briefly talked about his meeting with Mother Gu, “Mother will accept you in the future.”

Su Ling leaned over to circle Gu Liheng’s shoulder and poked his face with a finger, “I’m used to you being expressionless, but deep in your bones, you are a gentle person. Fortunately, no one noticed that before,” Su Ling smiled brightly. “You have been caught by me. Even if someone finds out now, it will be too late. You are mine.”

Gu Liheng grabbed the young man’s hand and dropped a kiss on it. Then he said with a smile in his eyes, “En.”

Su Ling moved his fingers slightly and smiled. After that, he pulled Gu Liheng up and said, “Help me check out the fragrance products. The fragrance bar is about to open so I have to choose the best one as the highlight.”

Banana: Yes, the title is Proposal~ Can’t let the title spoil you guys XD Sorry for that

[2] Technically, Gu Ming is not the murderer but since the author wrote it like that… shrugged

Gu Liheng led Su Ling back to the living room. There were 3 rows of long hangers in the middle of the living room. Each hanger was filled with various styles of clothes. There are 2 sets of clothing for each style, the color is the same, but the size is different – those are clearly couple outfits. Su Ling immediately thought of the clothes he chose for male god and himself when they went out to play the day before. He laughed, “…The closet can’t fit all these.”

Gu Liheng doesn’t think that it is a problem to be considered and said, “Just pick what you usually wear and we’ll put the rest in the cloakroom.”

Amused, Su Ling said, “Rich people can afford to be willful!”

Gu Liheng looked calm as he said, “It didn’t cost much,” he looked at Su Ling, “Before I met you, money is just a number for me, and I don’t use much in general. I didn’t know what to buy.” His eyes moved slightly, “Am I boring?”

In Su Ling’s mind, he thought ‘is this the trouble of the rich’? But thinking about it carefully, male god’s lifestyle is quite simple. Unlike the ordinary rich second-generation, he doesn’t splurge on sports cars or other expensive things. Compared with the money earned, the money spent is almost negligible.

“I don’t think you are boring,” Su Ling joked with a smile, “but you looked like a human money maker machine.”

Gu Liheng: “I don’t care about the money. It’s just that I’m used to dealing with company affairs, and I like it.”

Gu Liheng has been in contact with the Gu family business since he was a child. He likes the feeling of strategizing in a business. Money is not what he values most.

Su Ling: “You are so suitable to be a president,” his eyes curled up, “but since you have made money, you should enjoy life better!”

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng and said, “You have been with the company since you were young, and you have devoted most of your time to the company. In the future, you will spend more time thinking about your life and I will there to experience different things with you.”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng’s eyes turned gentle. He stroke Su Ling’s black hair and said, “Okay.” His young man’s concern filled his heart with warmth. He is looking forward to doing all kinds of things that he has never experienced with him.

Su Ling’s eyebrows curved with smiles and he pulled Gu Liheng to choose their clothes with him. Choosing 5 sets of clothing suitable to wear, for now, they hung them in the closet and Domi will put the rest in the cloakroom.

After choosing clothes, the two went to the fragrance making room. Thinking that he would be spending a lot of time in the spiritual plant room in the future, Su Ling got Domi to move in a single sofa and placed it beside the window in the spiritual plant room; specially prepared for male god.

“Call me if you need help.” Seeing Su Ling nodded, Gu Liheng sat down on the sofa.

Su Ling smiled and turned to look at the flower bud that is soaking in the growth fluid. The growth fluid was 10 times diluted with the vine liquid. According to Uncle Lóng, the bud couldn’t stand it if used directly with the vine liquid. The flower bud that was the size of a soybean is now the size of a green pea, and there is a twig about 2 cm from the top of the bud. With this growth speed, the flower bud should be able to plant in the soil tomorrow.

Next, Su Ling walked to the already grown Flower Bud Grass. Before he could touch the Flower Bud Grass, the leaves from Lopseed and Baby’s breath drew close to rub against the back of his hand. At this moment, the tip of the root wrapped around his wrist lifted up and swept away the leaves, making the 2 plants immediately retracted their leaves. Su Ling lightly squeezed the root in amusement before gently stroking the 2 plants. After that, he touched the top of the Flower Bud Grass branch. Using his pheromones to communicate with it, Su Ling harvested a small branch from the Flower Bud Grass.

Returned to the workbench, Su Ling first made a fragrance that hides pheromone smell with the vine liquid, and then made a special inhibitor with the branch. Both products have specific formulas and they are simple to make. Having fully equipped with high-tech machinery, Su Ling can’t go wrong. However, the fragrances he tried to make after that were not easy. He hadn’t officially studied how to make fragrances in this world, and he is still not clear about the properties of various spiritual plant raw materials, let alone which combination would smell unpleasant.

Fortunately, he has no shortage of spiritual plant raw materials. With the equipment he has, and randomly mixing the raw materials, he would find out the effect of the finished products. This is actually a very wasteful method. However, it is difficult for him to master the theoretical knowledge of spiritual plant and fragrance making in a period of time. Going through a lot of experiments are the easiest way to make fragrances. Su Ling found it very novel every time he checked the effect of a finished product because the result was unpredictable. He experimented the whole morning with great enthusiasm.

After lunch, Gu Liheng said, “Gu Ming has been arrested and the court will open a week later.”

Su Ling couldn’t help sighing in admiration, the efficiency in Planet Belle is sure fast.

Soon, this news became today’s headline. Su Ling checked the news before taking a nap and saw that many people were talking about it. Netizens lamented the darkness of the wealthy and expressed shame and disgust for Gu Ming’s actions in harming his own relatives. However, upon seeing the second most discussed topic, Su Ling’s eyes narrowed. That was Gu An’s post in his own Boyan: “Super shocked, I can’t believe this is true. Father and uncle are the two people I admire the most…”

Most comments under that post were sympathy. After all, Gu An was only 6 years old kid 20 years ago. Even if Gu Ming really harmed Gu Yuan, it probably has nothing to do with Gu An. Of course, some people ridiculed and questioned whether he knew about the crime but choose not to report it.

Gu Liheng holds Su Ling’s shoulders and glanced at the holographic screen, “Don’t read anymore, go and rest.”

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng and asked, “Do you think Gu An knows?”

“Whether he knows or not, this matter will have nothing to do with him,” Gu Liheng said in a cold voice, “but the last accident definitely has something to do with him.”

Make sense, as the netizens said, Gu An was still so young at that time. Su Ling smiled and noticed that the hands on his shoulders tightened when he(GLH) mentioned the accident. He tilted his head and kissed male god’s face, pulling him to lie down, “Let’s rest together.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes moved slightly, and he enveloped Su Ling in a hug without doing anything else. After a nap, Gu Liheng received a call from Mother Gu and they discussed the matters related to the trial.

Su Ling listened for a bit and went to change into his swimming trunks. Coming back, he leaned against the wall and waited for a while, and found that the topic had already changed to some of Gu company’s projects. It seemed like male god could not finish talking for a while. Hence, he walked to Gu Liheng’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed upstairs.

Gu Liheng’s gaze slipped past Su Ling’s pale body and saw that there are still certain ‘marks’ left on his body. That caused Gu Liheng’s throat to tighten, and he swiftly moved his eyes away before nodding.

Su Ling questioningly raised his eyebrows and went out of the bedroom to the top floor. Three-quarters of the top floor is occupied by the swimming pool. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water, and the water is crystal clear. He took Xian Mo Yu out to put in the corner, and Lóng Mo Téng jumped from his wrist to Xian Mo Yu’s petals. Xian Mo Yu stretched its petals, and its roots were swaying in the air freely. It was very relaxing. There was a soothing fragrance wafting around, which was more intense than they were indoors. Lóng Mo Téng has also become much bigger; stretching its leaves and enjoying the sunshine. When Su Ling saw this, the thought that plants really liked sunlight flashed in his mind. He tested the temperature of the water before jumping into the water and started swimming freely. When his body was exposed to the surface of the water, his wet skin shone in the sun.

15 minutes later, Domi brought snacks and drinks and placed them by the pool, “Owner’s beautiful Omega, owner said to remember to take a rest.”

Su Ling kicked the water and slid gently to the edge of the pool. His breathing was a little quick as he said, “Thank you, I know.”

Su Ling laid down on the shore, with his back basking in the sun. He glanced at his pale arms and flipped them so more area is exposed to the light. It would be best if he could be tanned into wheat color, his skin is too pale right now. After a break, Su Ling took a swig from the drink. The familiar taste brought a smile to his eyes. This is Belle’s most famous energy drink and his favorite flavor. After drinking several sips, he kicked out at the wall of the pool, slid out, and continued swimming.

When Gu Liheng went upstairs, what he saw was the young man’s agile figure in the water. Pale skin, perfect body proportions, and the traces left by him that had not faded, all of which made his eyes turn darker.

Su Ling soon felt a blazing gaze falling on him. He floated in the water, smoothed his hair from front to back, and looked towards the door. His face was wet, making his eyebrows looked deeper, his skin paler, and his lips redder than usual. The combination gave him a soul-stirring charm.

Gu Liheng’s heart jumped. He has an urge to lock the young man up, not letting anyone see him. At the same time, a familiar heat surged in his body. He wanted to hug the young man tightly, kiss him hard, and possess his entire body.

Already very familiar with Gu Liheng’s aro-used expression, Su Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Mr. Gu, your self-control has weakened yo.”

Gu Liheng looked into Su Ling’s eyes and did not refute his words. With a deep voice, he said, “Remember to take a rest, I will go down first.”

Su Ling: “You already got Domi here to monitor at me. Don’t worry, I won’t mess around.”

Gu Liheng took a deep look at Su Ling, then turned and went downstairs.

Su Ling did not ask male god to stay. Papa Xian and Uncle Long are here, and the frequency of them having s-e-x has been very high recently. He doesn’t want to go through the embarrassing process of applying medication at ‘that’ place for the time being. He leaned back and started to backstroke. In his field of vision are the broad sky and cotton candy-like white clouds. Su Ling is in a good mood, and thinking of male god, he curved his eyes happily. He worked hard to exercise also for the sake of his happy life with male god in the future.

Gu Liheng went down 2 flights of stairs, and the sound of water came from behind him. He sighed inwardly, his eyes deep. Some things must be done as soon as possible, otherwise, he may not be able to control himself. He quickly went downstairs and opened his bracelet to make some preparations.

An hour later, Su Ling returned to the bedroom from the top floor. He briefly glanced around the room but didn’t see male god. He took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and went to the study.

Gu Liheng was sitting in the study to deal with some business affairs. When he saw Su Ling, his brows furrowed and he said, “Don’t let your hair wet like this.”

Su Ling: “It doesn’t matter since I’m not going to sleep now. It will dry soon.”

Approaching nearer, Su Ling propped his hands on the table, and looked at Gu Liheng, “Can I remodel the spiritual plant room?”

Gu Liheng did not ask for the reason and agreed, “You can do whatever you like. Do you want to hire a designer as well?”

Su Ling shook his head, “No, I already have an idea,” he thought for a while and asked, “have all the villas nearby been sold?”

Gu Liheng: “En.”

Su Ling regrettably said, “It’s a pity then. I was planning to buy one nearby.”

His eyebrows furrowed, Gu Liheng grabbed Su Ling’s wrist and asked, “Do you want to buy a villa?”

Su Ling nodded, Gu Liheng continued to ask, “Why? You don’t want to live together?”

Su Ling: “Of course not. But before getting married, I have to have a bit of property in hand right? I can’t just marry you with empty-handed, right?”

“It’s okay,” Gu Liheng said, “you don’t need to buy anything. It’s enough as long as you are here.”

Su Ling smiled but did not agree. He stood on his ground and said, “I will take a look at nearby properties when I have time.”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling’s face and asked, “You don’t believe me?”

Su Ling looked at male god and explained, “If I don’t believe you, I won’t choose to be with you. This could be considered…a ceremony before marriage.” Getting married without preparing anything gives him a feeling like he is living off a sugar daddy[1]. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help laughing.

Gu Liheng’s eyes moved slightly, and he didn’t persuade the young man anymore. It’s fine as long as the young man believes in him.

Su Ling sat down opposite Gu Liheng and said, “You can continue to handle your business matter. I’ll start drawing a picture of the transformation of the spiritual plant room.”

His idea is simple. The wall where the window of the spiritual plant room is located can be made into an automatic door to facilitate the entry and exit of the spiritual plants. This way, as long as they want to bask in the sun, they can go out anytime to go to the garden or backyard, which is more convenient. After all, Papa Xian said it will take care of him for the rest of his life. He couldn’t let Papa Xian stay indoors forever.

Gu Liheng has an impression of Gu Ming’s special assistant. Special assistant Luo has been working with Gu Ming for many years.

Hua Cheng replied, “Yes.” He immediately added, “Before this, we found that his account had transferred a large amount of funds 20 years ago. The receiver was a temporary account, which has been canceled, and we are inquiring for more relevant information.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes changed slightly. 20 years ago? That is a very significant period. He asked, “Where is he now?”

Hua Cheng: “At my place, he came quietly after work.”

Gu Liheng: “Take him to the villa,” he paused, “Come at around 7.30 pm.”

Hua Cheng: “Noted.”

After taking a shower, Su Ling went downstairs and saw Gu Liheng expressionlessly sitting on the sofa. Walking to the sofa, he leaned over the back at male god’s neck, “Why do you look upset?”

Gu Liheng held Su Ling’s hand and tilted his head. A refreshing fragrance wafted from the young man. His expression turned slightly softer, “Waiting for the special assistant working for Gu An’s father to come.” He paused before adding, “It should have something to do with my father.”

Hearing that, Su Ling furrowed his brows. That means the accident that happened to male god’s father is probably caused by his relative. Sitting down beside Gu Liheng, Su Ling held his hand and comforted, “Don’t be sad.”

Gu Liheng shook his head, “I’m not sad, it’s just that I should have thought of it for so many years.”

Su Ling: “You were so young at the time, and the incident was judged to be an accident. It’s normal that you didn’t think there is anything suspicious.”

The two chatted for a while and went to have dinner. After dinner, Su Ling said, “I’ll change my clothes and accompany you later.”

Gu Liheng glanced over Su Ling’s nightgown and nodded, “Okay.”

At 7.30 pm, Hua Cheng brought Special assistant Luo to the villa.

Special assistant Luo looked slightly nervous when he came in. Cautiously sitting opposite Gu Liheng, he greeted, “President Gu.”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Get to the point.”

“I know something about your father,” Luo clenched his fists tightly and continued, “I don’t want to be the second Secretary Yan, so I decided to come to you after some consideration.” He looked straight at Gu Liheng, “President Gu, your subordinate is the one investigating my account, right?”

Gu Liheng answered, “Yes.”

Special assistant Luo: “Then you should already know that I transferred a large sum of money out from my account 20 years ago.”

Then he leaned forward, his tone was slightly agitated as he continued, “but at the time, I didn’t know who it was transferred to and what is the purpose!”

“At that time, I just finished a project and I put in a lot of effort in it. Director Gu was very happy and gave me a bonus. But the amount was huge that I was very surprised.”

“Later, Director Gu told me that not all of the money is for me and a large chunk of the amount is meant for other people. Relieved, I transferred the money to the account number he gave me.”

“I was young at the time and was very excited to get a huge bonus, but soon I realized that something is wrong. I knew all the people involved in the project. With the amount so huge, it is quite unreasonable for anyone to get it. The amount is simply too much.”

Luo’s voice was low as he said, “Out of curiosity, I checked the receiver’s account, and it turned out that the account had been canceled.”

“This sounds even more wrong. I did suspect that Director Gu used me to launder money. Worried that something might happen, I was extra cautious the next few days and paid special attention to Director Gu’s actions.”

“I noticed that his behavior was quite different from usual as he looked nervous and excited but a little scared at the same time. He would also occasionally avoid having other people around when answering calls.”

“At that time, I was already suspicious. I worried that he had something wrong and implicate me… so I did some tricks and put an old-fashioned voice recorder in his office that would not be detected easily.”

Clasping his fingers tightly, Luo’s voice trembled slightly, “The next day, before I managed to retrieve the recorder, the news of your father’s accident has spread.”

“Director Gu quickly left the company to deal with related matters. Hence, I took the opportunity to retrieve the recorder and learned the truth of the matter.” Then he looked at Gu Liheng. “Your father’s accident is not an accident. Director Gu asked someone to do it.”

Special assistant Luo swallowed nervously, “The money I transferred is a deposit.” After he finished speaking, he quickly stated, “I’m telling the truth, I don’t know anything. I was forcibly pulled into this mess by Director Gu.”

His voice gets lower and dry as he added, “At best, my crime is I didn’t report it after I learned the truth. But I also have my own difficulties! In that situation, Director Gu is likely to take over the Gu company. So if I said it, the consequences would be disastrous.”

“This matter, the more I delay it, the harder it will be to say it. After you took charge of the Gu company, I was worried that you would not let me go. So I acted like I didn’t know anything.”

Gu Liheng expressionlessly said, “Then you find that someone is checking your account. You came to me became you feel you can’t hide the truth anymore?”

Special assistant Luo gritted his teeth, “Yes! Although it has been so many years, as long as you keep checking, the result would come out. Not to mention my account and recipient at the time have been found out.”

“I don’t want to be pushed out as sacrificial lamb like Secretary Yan when the truth is revealed.”

Rubbing his face, Luo put down his hands and continued to clasp his hands tightly, looking at Gu Liheng, “I can provide evidence, and I can testify in court. All I want is to cut off cleanly from this case.”

“In Belle, people who knew about the crime but failed to report it will be jailed for at least 1 year, but family members of the victims can apply to exclude the said person from being held accountable.”

Gu Liheng was silent for a moment before he said, “As long as the evidence you provide is valid and you didn’t lie, I will apply for you.”

Special assistant Luo breathed a sigh of relief, “There is absolutely no deception.”

Under Gu Liheng’s gaze, Luo hesitated for a moment before taking out the recorder and handed it forward, “I have charged it before coming over.”

Gu Liheng took the recorder and turned on the switch, but it was quiet.

Special assistant Luo: “The useful dialogues are at the lower part in the middle.”

Gu Liheng fast forwards the recording to the position pointed by Special assistant Luo.

Gu Ming’s voice could be heard saying, “Yes, it will definitely pass by today, I won’t make a mistake.”

Gu Ming’s voice was very low, but his breathing is rapid, nervous, and excited, “Don’t worry, as long as you finish off Gu Yuan cleanly, the remaining money and the information of the person you are looking for will be given to you.”

“I’m waiting for your good news.”

“Remember, you must not leave a trace.”

Gu Liheng’s expression was deep. He turned off the recording, and gave the recorder to Hua Cheng, “Check the authenticity of the recording, whether there are any traces of modification, and make sure it can be used as evidence.”

Hua Cheng: “Alright.”

Gu Liheng raised his chin towards Special assistant Luo, “Take him away.”

Special assistant Luo said nervously, “President Gu, don’t forget what you promised, otherwise I won’t appear in court to testify.” If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t dare to show evidence directly.

Gu Liheng: “I won’t turn back on my words.”

Special assistant Luo breathed a sigh of relief and Hua Cheng said, “Let’s go.”

Special assistant Luo got up and turned to Gu Liheng, “I’m sorry.” Then he followed Hua Cheng out and left the villa.

There are only Su Ling and Gu Liheng in the living room. Su Ling grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and he looked at the young man, “I’m fine. The truth is revealed and we have evidence. It is a good thing. As for Special assistant Luo, everyone has their own selfishness.”

Su Ling nodded in agreement before asking, “Are you going to sue Gu Ming directly?”

Gu Liheng did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment, “I will sue him, but I am going to let my mother handle it.”

In less than an hour, Hua Cheng reported the test results to Gu Liheng, “The recording is the source file. There are no artificial traces, and can be used to testify.”

Gu Liheng got off the treadmill and said, “Give it to my mother.” He thought for a while before saying, “Give it tomorrow morning.”

Hua Cheng: “Alright.”

…

After Mother Gu finished her meal in the morning, she got the information sent by Hua Cheng himself. She looked a little surprised to see Hua Cheng because he is Gu Liheng’s classmate in university and also his confidant. Previously when she is selecting people from the mercenary group, Hua Cheng is the only one she couldn’t ask to come. After reading the information, her face was cold, her fingers trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth. She exclaimed bitterly, “Gu Ming!”

Hua Cheng: “President Gu asked us to investigate the online rumors about Young master Su’s background. The information we got shows that those sources of information are also related to Gu Ming.”

Mother Gu: “Does Ah Heng know about it?”

Hua Cheng: “I have already told President Gu.”

Mother Gu frowned, then bit her lower lip hard, “Gu Ming knows that Ah Heng has seen a psychiatrist?”

That caught Hua Cheng by surprise, “President Gu is seeing a psychiatrist?”

Mother Gu realized that Hua Cheng didn’t seem to know about this. She shook her head, “No.” and changed the subject, “Do you know who is the most reliable lawyer right now in Belle?”

Hua Cheng who accidentally learned about Gu Liheng’s visit to a psychiatrist was shocked but he tried to maintain his composure as he replied, “I know.” His sensitivity is really terrible. To think that he can’t see that President Gu needs a psychiatrist, he needs to get remedial psychology classes asap!

…

After Su Ling harvested the liquid from Redthorn Ball and returned from the Xiao villa, he heard Gu Liheng talking in a call, “Thank you. En, I have not relapsed. I am in good condition, thank you.”

Just after Gu Liheng hung up the call, Su Ling rushed forward to check his expression, “Dr. Mill’s call just now?”

Except for Mill, male god won’t mention about his conditions so casually.

Gu Liheng: “En.”

Su Ling became nervous, “Are you feeling uncomfortable again?”

Gu Liheng smiled and rubbed Su Ling’s hair, “No, I just asking something. The information regarding your background came from Gu Ming. So I asked Mill if anyone had checked about my treatment.”

Su Ling: “And?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Yes, someone did but didn’t succeed, and he left a trace.”

Su Ling frowned, “When did that person check it?” He thought for a while, “Before we went to the swimming pool?”

Gu Liheng: “En.”

“No wonder! They want to agitate you!” Su Ling furiously scolded, “too vicious.”

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling and comforted, “Don’t be angry, they will reap what they sowed soon. Do you want to go to the theme park?”

Su Ling shook his head, “Let’s wait until Gu Ming’s matter is done. I received a call from Uncle Nalu just now. The fragrance bar will reopen on 1st August. I need to reformulate the types of fragrances that we are going to sell these days.” His eyes shimmered slightly as he said, “I am going to try to use common formulas on the market, and then try to make a few novel fragrances.”

Gu Liheng: “Won’t you get tired? Our Gu company has many spiritual plant specialists. Do you need their help?”

“No,” Su Ling shook his head. “I like making fragrances. If I encounter a problem, I will ask Darry.”

Gu Liheng saw Su Ling in good spirits and smiled, “Okay, tell me what else you need to buy.”

While talking, Domi reported that the courier had arrived.

Su Ling was curious, “What did you buy?”

His question was quickly answered. Watching the staff move the instruments to the fragrance room, Su Ling immediately remembered that these are all the machines he saw in Ni An’s laboratory. The last box is a variety of different types of bottles and cans, and the spray bottles mentioned by Ni An are of the same brand. After the delivery staff left, Su Ling looked at the room filled with equipment and said in amusement, “I will feel sorry for these if I don’t study hard.”

Gu Liheng: “If you like to learn, then learn. If not, don’t force yourself. I’m just buying these so that you have something to use when you need it.”

Su Ling poked Gu Liheng’s arm, “You will spoil me with your pampering like this.”

Gu Liheng smiled, “You won’t.”

After a while, another courier came, and Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “What else did you buy?” Then he couldn’t help but laugh, “You look so solemn, but you are actually a shopaholic deep inside?”

Su Ling put the Flower Bud Grass down and casually chatted with other spiritual plants. He stayed in the spiritual plant room until Gu Liheng called him down for lunch. Su Ling was in a good mood while eating. “The vine liquid from Uncle Lóng can quickly make the Flower Bud Grass mature. On the other hand, the Flower Bud Grass gave me a flower bud. I will check how to plant it later.”

Gu Liheng reminded, “Don’t let yourself be too tired.” Thinking of Lin Meng’s words, he also felt that his young man has too little entertainment, “Want to go to the theme park?”

Su Ling wasn’t very interested in going, but he asked Gu Liheng, “Have you been to a theme park before?”

Gu Liheng: “I went once when I was young.”

Su Ling: “Did you not hang out with your classmates in high school and university?”

Gu Liheng shook his head.

Su Ling: “Then let’s go together and play more exciting rides! That would be fun and relaxing.”

Male god is being called ‘Lone Rangers’ so it’s obvious that he rarely gets out with other people. He only exercises at home and didn’t participate in many entertainments like games. Su Ling wanted to make up for the youthful time that male god missed.

Gu Liheng agreed with Su Ling’s proposal, “Alright.”

After they had dinner, Su Ling and Gu Liheng happily researched online about the theme parks in Belle City, and together they picked the most interesting one.

…

Gu An went home with a stiff face. As soon as he entered the house, he was called to the study by the robot butler. Knocking on the door, he heard Gu Ming’s voice saying, “Come in.”

Gu Ming’s complexion is not better than Gu An. His meticulously combed hair is a bit messy. When he saw Gu An, his brows wrinkled, “What’s the matter with you? Fought with someone?”

Gu An looked down as he explained, “They knew that Gu Liheng is suppressing me, so they deliberately made trouble for me to flatter Gu Liheng.”

BANG!

Gu Ming hit the desk furiously, “A bunch of opportunists! And you!” He pointed to Gu An, “Useless thing! It has been so many years, even if they followed you with selfish intention, you should train a few confidantes. Now you don’t even have anyone you can use!”

Hearing that, Gu An’s face turned pale, his fingers tightly clenched.

Putting his hand down, Gu Ming looked at Gu An and said, “We are unlucky this time. After Gu Liheng’s mother knew Su Ling’s identity, she did cause trouble for Gu Liheng. And Gu Liheng fell in a coma as well. It’s a pity though.” He continued bitterly, “It’s a pity that he didn’t go crazy! His survival instinct is strong since when he is still a child.”

“This time, he seems to be determined to finish us. If you continue, you will lose more. Gu An, let go of all the projects at hand and resign.”

Gu An raised his eyes, “Father, you mean…?”

“Leave the Gu company. My own company has developed well over the years. I have business dealings with many families in Planet Clay so I don’t have to live under that kid.”

Gu An’s eyes widened in surprise, “You want to sell your shares?”

Gu Ming: “Of course not, just that I won’t care for the company. I will sit and wait for dividends,” his tone was malicious as he added, “maybe when a chance comes by and that kid really went crazy, I have shares in hand. Then I can propose the decision to remove the chairman.”

Gu An: “Father is wise.”

Gu Ming: “You should hand over your work as soon as possible and go to my company. It’s yours to take over in the future anyway.”

After Gu An left the study, Gu Ming contacted his special assistant and asked him to prepare for the transfer of some management tasks. As he is talking, he felt a little strange and asked “Old Luo, are you unwell?”

Assistant Luo sat in the office, his expression became more panic when he heard that. Trying to stay calm, he coughed lightly and said, “I’m fine. It just that President Gu has been giving some pressure these days. Some projects have problems with their data so I processed them overnight and didn’t have a good rest.”

Gu Ming: “Thanks for your hard work. Since he is trying to hollow away my power, I will follow his wishes. Then your work will be relaxed in the future.”

“Thank you, Director Gu.”

After Gu Ming explained his instructions, he hung up the call.

After the call, Special assistant Luo dropped his hands to the table weakly. His body seemed to have become 10 years older in an instant, and he leaned heavily on the back of the chair. He looked dazed for a moment and soon came to his senses again. Tapping on his bracelet, he switched to the page he was reading before Gu Ming’s call. He read it again, and double confirmed that someone recently checked his fund transfer records in 20 years! Almost immediately, he realized that President Gu must have asked someone to check him. Thinking of what happened to Gu An’s secretary, he became afraid. In case of exposure, will Gu Ming push those responsibilities onto him as well? Even if he tried to get rid of accusations, he would inevitably be regarded as an accomplice. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy thinking about various possibilities and consequences. After a long time, his expression calmed down.

…

Su Ling and Gu Liheng chose a theme park that is most popular with university students, and it has a very simple name: Hi. The comment on the official website that has the most likes said – If you want to be happy, go Hi.

Su Ling pulled Gu Liheng back to their room and said, “We have to change into more casual clothes, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move around.” He first went to Gu Liheng’s wardrobe and looked around. Then he took a short-sleeved black T-shirt and blue knee-length denim pants.

Su Ling was a little surprised by his finding, “I actually thought if you didn’t have any suitable clothing, we would buy one right away.”

Gu Liheng: “Following Dr. Mill’s advice before, I tried different styles of clothes and bought a lot.”

Su Ling smiled and shook the clothing he picked in front of Gu Liheng, “Is this acceptable?”

Gu Liheng took it, “Yes.”

Su Ling: “Then put it on.” He went to search for his clothes and returned with the same black T-shirt and blue denim pants.

After the two changed their clothes, Su Ling pulled Gu Liheng and stood in front of the full-length mirror with a bright smile, “Although the brands are different and the styles are somewhat different, we can still be considered as wearing couple outfits.”

Smiling, Gu Liheng reached out and rubbed Su Ling’s hair.

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng and raised his hand to mess his hair, “You used hair gel in the morning right? It’s too formal, you need to be more natural.”

After setting Gu Liheng’s hairstyle, they went out.

Right now is summer vacation, so there are a lot of people in the theme park. Screams and laughter filled their ears, and the atmosphere was very lively. Su Ling is super excited. Upon entering the theme park, he bought two masks and whispered, “So that no one recognizes us and affects our enjoyment.”

Gu Liheng put on his mask and then helped Su Ling to put his on.

At that moment, someone passed by and they commented in a low voice, “Ah! So sweet!”

Su Ling looked up at Gu Liheng with curved eyes and said, “Someone praised us.”

With a smile in his eyes, Gu Liheng took Su Ling’s hand and walked in, “What do you want to play?”

Su Ling: “Let’s play in order from the innermost ride.”

They played for an afternoon and only played 4 rides; 2 different roller coasters which one is a type of high roller coaster, and the other is a multi-angle rotation roller coaster, the Ferris wheel, and the rapids. Coming out from the rapids ride, it’s already past 5.00 pm. Su Ling was having so much fun and he pointed to the indoor pavilion in front, “We don’t have enough time today. Let’s come again when we have time. I want to experience the space museum next time.”

Gu Liheng: “We can also go now.”

Su Ling pointed to the time, “The queue stops at 5.00 pm.”

Gu Liheng: “It’s okay, I could just contact the theme park manager if you like. I can book the whole venue in advance next time so that you don’t have to line up.”

Su Ling laughed, he felt like he has suddenly walked into an idol drama filming set. He took male god’s hand and walked out, “It’s fine. It’s because there are many people in the amusement park that you can feel the lively atmosphere. Just like the roller coaster just now, everyone was screaming. It’s refreshing to scream together.”

Gu Liheng thought of the scene where the young man was screaming freely just now and his mouth curved slightly, “Then we’ll come back tomorrow.”

Su Ling nodded: “Holiday is so nice!”

Su Ling took a few steps forward, then Gu Liheng held him back, “Wait.” He stopped and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Squatting down, Gu Liheng reached out to fold the hem of Su Ling’s trousers up a section, which happened to be a wet patch (from the rapids). And so, the wet sensation at his calf suddenly disappeared.

Su Ling looked down at Gu Liheng and his heart beats faster. Many tourists passing by looked over, discussing about them excitedly and enviously. Gu Liheng neatly folded both sides of his pants and stood up. As male god is leading him out, he heard him saying, “Wait until we leave, you can change to other pants.”

Su Ling looked down at the hem of his pants and then at Gu Liheng’s, “Yours is also wet.”

“It’s okay.” Gu Liheng said.

Su Ling’s mouth curled up, “Actually, it doesn’t matter to me since the weather is not cold,” he hugged the male god’s arm and added, “but I’m so happy.” It feels great to receive such care from someone.

Gu Liheng’s expression turned soft and pity flashed his eyes. The young man is too easily satisfied. Back in the car, Gu Liheng opened the screen inside the car to separate the front and rear seats. Then he took out a beige slack from his space storage and handed it to Su Ling, before turning around.

Su Ling took the pants and asked, “When did you prepare them?”

Gu Liheng: “I always keep spares in my space storage.”

Hearing that, Su Ling raised his eyebrows and leaned against the back of male god’s shoulder, “Why do you need to keep spare pants?”

Gu Liheng added, “There are also spare clothes and shoes.”

Amused, Su Ling asked, “What are you going to do with the spares?”

Gu Liheng was silent for a while, his voice was hoarse, “You may need it. Any Alpha with an Omega partner should be prepared.”

Su Ling thought for a moment and was stunned by his thought, “Could it be the Alpha is afraid that he won’t be able to control himself outside and will do this and that to the Omega?”

Isn’t this kind of preparation a bit too much?

“No… not just that,” Gu Liheng, “Even if the Alpha can keep himself under control, the Omega will still need spare clothing.”

Gu Liheng is feeling rather helpless about the young man’s questioning. Although he(SL) had read books about Omega’s physiology, knowing and understanding is not the same concept. The young man always seems to write down about various Omega’s reactions, but unless things happen to himself, he rarely sees himself in the situation written in the books. Not waiting for the young man to ask further, he continued to explain, “After a couple is temporarily marked, their pheromone will be more stable, but the adult Omega may fall into estrus at any time. Even in the early stage, the pheromones from estrus will break the stability.”

“If the Omega’s body started responding, fluid will be secreted behind him, and his pants…”

Su Ling: “No need to say!” He blushed, “I understand.”

Thinking back of the scene where Gu Liheng applied medicines on him, Su Ling understood that his pants would definitely be dirty. If they were outside, it would be more embarrassing than a girl suddenly getting her period. After all, the period is purely a physical phenomenon, while for the Omega, that reaction only occurs after estrus. He put the pants in his space storage and said, “I won’t change it today. Only the hem is a bit wet and we are going home now anyway.”

Gu Liheng turned to look at Su Ling, “We are going straight home, no one will see you.” He rubbed Su Ling’s hair, “Don’t be afraid, no one will misunderstand.”

Su Ling grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and said, “I’m not afraid of being misunderstood!” He lifted his right foot up a bit, “I just don’t think it is necessary.”

Glanced across Su Ling’s blushing face, Gu Liheng touched the hem of his(SL) pants. The place he had previously rolled up was soaked so it felt cold and damp, “It will be uncomfortable.”

Su Ling: “It’s okay.”

Seeing that Su Ling is resolutely unwilling to change his pants, Gu Liheng reluctantly pulled a few sheets of tissue paper and dabbed them on his trousers.

Back at the villa, Gu Liheng carried Su Ling directly to the bathroom. He started the water in the tub and got a bathrobe for Su Ling, “Go and take a bath first.”

Su Ling felt like laughing but with him being so meticulous, how can he refuse?

Gu Liheng stood at the door for a while, seeming to think that his attitude was too strong, and asked gently, “What do you want to eat? I will get the kitchen prepare.”

Su Ling immediately replied, “Steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs,” he paused and added, “stir-fried bok choy.”

Gu Liheng laughed. He mentioned several times that a balanced meal should have meat and vegetables, and the young man obviously remembered it. He nodded, “Okay.”

Leaving the bedroom, Gu Liheng went downstairs to select the dishes for dinner. Then he received a call from Hua Cheng.

“President Gu, Gu Ming’s special assistant wants to see you.”

Gu Liheng: “Special assistant Luo?”

Gu An’s trick?

Ridicule flashed in Gu Liheng’s eyes, and he lightly explained about his past.

“Gu An was born with a very weak body, and his elders love him very much. He is not physically fit, but his academic performance is very good. His appearance is good, has a gentle temperament, and people like him a lot.”

“He likes to trouble me. When he sees things that I like, he would always find ways to take them from me.  I was very naughty when I was a child, so I would always get into fights with him. In front of the elders,  he will always look worse than me, so the elders would scold me.”

“How old was he at that time, that is so scary,” Su Ling patted Gu Liheng’s arm and added, “Little Pitiful, this Gege (older brother) will protect you from now on, so that you will not be bullied.”

Gu Liheng looked down at Su Ling, “Gege?”

“Using the word ‘Gege’ sounds more confident.” Su Ling righteously said.

A smile flashed in Gu Liheng’s eyes, his young man is too cute, and he liked it too much.

After a while, the two of them arrived at Ni An’s department.  After Su Ling presented the appointment card, they were immediately given access.

Ni An was not surprised to see Gu Liheng. He smiled and brought them to the laboratory. Ni An’s laboratory is fully equipped, and there are 3 assistants inside doing research.  When Ni An enters, they greet him quickly. Ni An waved at the assistant and let them continue with what they were doing. Then he took Su Ling to the worktable on the left. There were some instruments on the table.  A strangely shaped green plant was placed near the window. The thickness of the main stem is like a chopstick, and its length is only a finger tall. The plant was covered in a white transparent ball.

Behind the table is a rack on the wall, filled with bottles and cans. Ni An took a bottle of light green liquid and said,  “This green lotion is the raw material from a B-grade spiritual plant, Dew Grass (含露草). It is very moisturizing and skin-friendly.”  He looked at Su Ling, “Many Omega treats it as a skincare product, so you can also try it.”

Su Ling: “…En, I will.”

Ni An took out a test tube, “Green lotion and…” He paused, “Does the liquid you gave me has a name?”

Su Ling: “Vine liquid.”

Hearing that, Ni An briefly glanced across Su Ling’s wrist and smiled, “It seems that the netizen’s guess is correct.  That vine is the Grade S spiritual plant, Lóng Mó Téng, right?”

Working hard to act as a bracelet on Su Ling’s wrist, Lóng Mó Téng didn’t move despite hearing that. Su Ling smiled and spread his hands, “I don’t know anything.”

A thought flashed in Ni An’s mind. Thinking about the high IQ of the Grade S spiritual plants, he had some guesses in his heart. He smiled and poured 5ml of green lotion into the test tube.

He explained, “The ratio of green lotion and vine liquid is 1:3. After letting it sit for 10 minutes, you can then put it in the aging machine and set the timing as 15 days.”

Su Ling wrote down what Ni An said. Then he realized Ni An has stopped talking and didn’t continue. As if suddenly remembering something,  he took out 100ml of vine liquid from his space storage and handed it to Ni An.

Ni An took the liquid and poured 15ml into a test tube. After that, he returned the remaining vine liquid to Su Ling and then poured the 2 types of liquid into a glass bottle together.

“Then you have to let it sit for 10 minutes,” Ni An said. “Please wait a moment.”

“It’s okay,” Su Ling asked. “Can I take a look around?” He pointed to the instruments everywhere.

Ni An: “Don’t touch those that are working. You can freely check out the rest.”

Su Ling looked at all kinds of instruments, while Gu Liheng silently noted down the instruments that Su Ling stared at for a longer time.

When they returned to the workbench,  Ni An was opening the transparent cover of the spiritual plant by the window sill. He held a small pair of scissors, and carefully cutting a section from the main stem. Then he placed it in the small bottle in front of him. Ni An put away the scissors and closed the cover. After that, he tapped on the cover and adjusted the settings.  Next, he poured several liquids into the small bottle in front of him, mixing with the cut stem.

When he stopped, Su Ling asked curiously, “What fragrance are you making?”

Ni An shook his head, “It’s not a fragrance, but a special-grade inhibitor, specifically for Omega who is in estrus but has no partner.”

Su Ling: “Can’t you just buy it online?”

Ni An: “The ones in the market have side effects. Upon usage, the person’s mood will be very depressed within a week and it is not good for the body.” He sighed and looked at the window sill, “Unfortunately, the necessary raw materials for this special-grade inhibitor are not easy to obtain. Thus cannot be marketed.”

In Su Ling’s mind, he searched for the spiritual plant information that he had seen in the spiritual plant registration association. Then he looked at the green plant, and asked unsurely, “Is this plant called Flower Bud Grass (花苞草)?”

The picture he saw in the storage room is very different from this green plant. The main stem of the Flower Bud Grass in the picture is straight and is more than 1m in length. It has light purple flower buds growing around the main stem from bottom to top. On the other hand, this green plant is no more than 10cm in length. The stem is smooth and no buds are growing from it.

Ni An nodded, “Yes,” he looked helpless as he said, “Although it is a Grade B spiritual plant, it grows slowly and consumes a lot of nutrients. So, its rarity is about the same as a Grade A spiritual plant now.”

“If an Omega is in good health and can withstand the side effects of general inhibitors, they will be forbidden to use special-grade inhibitors. Even so, this Flower Bud Grass cannot last long.”

Su Ling: “Just now, you cut the raw materials out directly, will there be any problem?” Raw materials that are not voluntarily provided by the spiritual plant are likely to be toxic.

Ni An: “This Flower Bud Grass is different from other spiritual plants. It will only be considered as a spiritual plant if flower buds grow out of it. At the moment, this plant is a normal plant so direct harvesting does not affect the effect.”

Su Ling looked at the Flower Bud Grass curiously, and a thought formed in his mind. His fingers subconsciously rubbed at Lóng Mó Téng on his wrist, “Is it difficult to buy Flower Bud Grass?”

“En, the existing ones are all grown by the Imperial Spiritual Plant Cultivation Institute. They are not sold to the public and the institute cooperates only with hospitals. There are also strict regulations on the quantity that hospitals of different levels can buy.”

Curious, Su Ling asked,  “Is it difficult to grow the plant?”

Ni An: “The main reason is that its growth rate cannot keep up with the consumption rate. It grows too slowly. Generally, it has to grow to at least half a meter before it starts to form buds. Only with the buds, we can cultivate a new plant. But at the moment, we can hardly wait for its buds to grow, so we have to use its stem instead.”

“Fortunately, the remaining 10 plants in the cultivation institute are forbidden to be used, otherwise they will be extinct now.”

Su Ling nodded and Ni An smiled, “As expected of a student in spiritual plant major, you have a great interest in spiritual plants. You will definitely become an amazing spiritual cultivator in the future.”

Su Ling’s eyes curved with smiles, “I will work hard.”

When the mixture resting time is up, Ni An puts the glass bottle in the aging device and adjust the values. After Su Ling has taken the notes, he pressed the start button. After 3 minutes, the aging device stopped working. Ni An skillfully froze and filtered the mixture, and finally put the finished product into a small white bottle, “This is a spray bottle. The mouth of the bottle will atomize the liquid. When you use it,  you can spray it on the gland so there won’t be any wastage.” He handed the bottle to Su Ling and said, “Bottles can be bought online and there are many different models.”

Su Ling took over and thanked Ni An, “Thank you so much.”

Ni An laughed, “It’s no trouble, just a bit of work. It’s the vine liquid you provided that helped me to research a new product. Thank you for the joy I obtained from the research. If you have new materials in the future, you can always find me.”

Su Ling promised and left the hospital with Gu Liheng.

In the car, Su Ling contacted Chief Wang of the Logistics Department. After some discussion, he managed to exchange some black liquid for a small Flower Bud Grass.

After the call, Gu Liheng asked Su Ling, “You want to make a special-grade inhibitor?”

“No, with you beside me, I don’t need it,” he paused before saying, “If my experiment is successful,  I will try to make some to put it in the fragrance bar for emergency use.”

Gu Liheng understood what Su Ling meant, “You want to use vine liquid?”

Su Ling nodded, “Yes!”

After lunch, a delivery arrived from the military’s logistic department. Su Ling took the courier to the spiritual plant room and placed the Flower Bud Grass on the stool. It was not placed on the ground because it is too small. In the palm-sized flowerpot is a plant’s stem less than 10cm in length. If the pot is placed on the ground, it could easily be stepped on.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots swayed around the Flower Bud Grass. Fortunately, the plant is still a seedling. At home, Xian Mo Yu always releases fragrance so instead of being frightened, the Flower Bud Grass bends its stem to touch the roots.

Su Ling didn’t use the vine liquid right away but first asked Lóng Mó Téng, “Uncle Long, can the spiritual plant grows using your vine liquid?”

“Yes, the lower the level, the faster it will grow. But you must give the right amount, or the plant will die.”

Su Ling: “How much do you think the Flower Bud Grass needs?”

Lóng Mó Téng did not answer immediately but moved from Xian Mo Yu’s petals to the stool. Gradually shrinking during the movement, it finally became a thin vine as it climbed into the flowerpot and wrapped around the Flower Bud Grass stem. Lóng Mó Téng has shrunk so small that its original emerald green leaves looked almost black.

Su Ling had long been puzzled by this change, “Uncle Long, why do your leaves change color?”

“The vine liquid is stored in the leaves. Hence, it becomes concentrated when the size is reduced.”

Just about to speak, Su Ling saw the Flower Bud Grass grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lóng Mó Téng shifted as well. The light scent in the air gradually became stronger, and when the Flower Bud Grass reached half a meter, a flower bud appeared on the main stem. The moment the bud appeared, Su Ling felt a joyful emotion, coming from the spiritual plant. He was a little surprised. Just as Ni An said, when a flower bud grows, the plant can be regarded as a spiritual plant. The spiritual plants in this world are so strange, Su Ling sighed in admiration.

Seeing that the Flower Bud Grass grew longer and longer, but the thickness remained the same as if it would snap in the next moment, Su Ling couldn’t help asking, “Uncle Long, is this really okay?”

“No problem.”

When the stem grows to 1m tall, Lóng Mó Téng moved away and returned to Xian Mo Yu’s petals. Then a sentence appeared in Su Ling’s mind, “I used half of the vine liquid I gave you every day.” In other words, 25ml is enough for a Flower Bud Grass to grow.

Su Ling lightly pinched Lóng Mó Téng’s leaf and said, “Thank you, Uncle Long!”

The leaf shook and rubbed against his fingertips, “You are welcome, nephew.”

Su Ling laughed and retracted his hand.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots rubbed against the vines, “You are such a good uncle.”

Lóng Mó Téng: “Idiot, stop talking nonsense.”

Su Ling counted the flower buds growing on the stem from bottom to top. There are a total of 10 buds, exactly 1 bud every 10cm apart. The stem slightly bent and touched his fingertips. Smiling, he communicated with the plant using his pheromone and drew a small grass with three strokes to represent the flower bud. (Probably like this – \ | / )

The scent from the Flower Bud Grass became stronger, and an image of a flower bud appears in Su Ling’s mind, which is located at the bottom of the spiritual plant. Su Ling looked over and saw that the lowest flower bud swayed up and down, before falling on to the flowerpot.

Su Ling gently stroked the stem with his fingers, “Thank you.”

The stem bends and touches his arm. That movement shocked Su Ling, but fortunately, the stem is very flexible and did not snap. He picked up the bud, didn’t know how to raise the seedlings. After a moment of thought, he put it away carefully and decided to check more information later. He put the Flower Bud Grass next to Baby’s breath and Lopseed’s pot. All of a sudden, Lopseed’s silver leaves straightened and slashed on the stem. That frightened the Flower Bud Grass and it bent aside in the opposite direction.

Su Ling lightly pinched Lopseed’s leaf and said, “This is a new friend, everyone needs to get along well.”

An image of Lopseed’s nectar appeared in Su Ling’s mind. Then a vertical line appeared with a simple word beside it – Dry. (Should be like this – | 干) Before Su Ling could be surprised by that, he was dumbfounded by a sense of pride conveyed by Lopseed. The vertical line must be referring to the Flower Bud Grass. He smiled and said, “En, the Flower Bud Grass is different from you. It doesn’t produce liquid, so get along well.”

Lopseed’s leaves shook and softened before wrapping around the stem. The stem trembled for a while, and finally calmed down.

Su Ling imagined that the lower the level of the spiritual plants, the simpler their thinking. Previously, his 3 Grade A spiritual plants were frightened by Xian Mo Yu’s presence. Even after Xian Mo Yu promised that it would not hurt them, they were still on alert for a while. Unlike the Flower Bud Grass, it immediately believed that Lopseed meant no harm to it.

Getting up, Su Ling pinched the root wrapped around his wrist and asked, “Papa Xian, did you teach them to read?”

Xian Mo Yu: “Of course, we should study together! Although they are stupid, they can learn slowly.”

The roots shook as Xian Mo Yu added, “Communication is more convenient this way.”

Lóng Mó Téng’s leaf turned and stabbed at a root, “You just don’t want them to be idle!”

Xian Mo Yu: “Humph, I did not.”

The next day, Su Ling put Xian Mo Yu in his space storage and Lóng Mo Téng wrapped around his wrist, and he went out with Gu Liheng. The first stop is to go to the Xiào villa to harvest the ball liquid. When he came out of the spiritual plant room, Lin Meng pulled him close to comfort him, “Ling Ling, it’s all nonsense on the Internet, don’t mind them.”

Obviously, Lin Meng also saw the news about his background.

Mother Xiào has a gentle look on her face, and she poured a glass of juice for Su Ling, “Child, your situation is really making one feel distressed for you. The matters that happened with elders have nothing to do with you, so don’t think too much.”

Su Ling smiled, “Thank you, auntie.”

After chatting for a while, Lin Meng suggested, “Ling Ling, how about going to the theme park later?”

Su Ling shook his head, “I have an appointment with Doctor Ni An.”

“Are you unwell?” Lin Meng asked immediately.

Su Ling: “No, I’m going there to learn about a formula.”

Lin Meng curiously asked, “What formula? Will Doctor Ni An teach you himself?”

Su Ling nodded, “Wait till I learned it, I will give you a try.”

Lin Meng: “What is the function?”

Su Ling laughed, “You’ll know when you try.”

“That makes me even more looking forward to it,” Lin Meng said as he changed the topic, “but why are you always busy? This is the longest and most leisurely vacation of our school days, wait you see in the future…” He glanced at Xiào Rui, his face turned reddish, “You may not be so free in the future. You should play more. There’s a lot of time to make fragrances and do experiments at university. At that time, you might feel like throwing up from smelling the fragrance.”

Su Ling couldn’t understand the meaning of Lin Meng’s pause, and raised his eyebrows, “What are you blushing for?”

Lin Meng squatted and said, “I didn’t blush!”

Su Ling looked at his face getting redder, “Oh yeah, you didn’t.” Then he reached for the juice and drank it slowly.

Amused by Su Ling’s words, Mother Xiào touched Lin Meng’s hair lovingly and said, “Don’t worry, you and Ah Rui are both young. Not need to hurry, children can come after graduating from university.”

Su Ling was drinking the juice and was about to swallow it. Hearing this, he suddenly understood what Lin Meng’s pause meant. They will be pregnant and have children later, so there won’t be much free time then.

“Cough…” His breath hitched up causing Su Ling to choke on his drink.

Gu Liheng took the glass with sloshing juice away and pulled a napkin for him. After putting the water glass on the table, he patted his back. Su Ling wiped his mouth with the napkin and said, “Excuse me.” He coughed for a while before his breathing eased.

Lin Meng: “You didn’t speak when you drank your juice, but you could even choke on that?”

I didn’t speak indeed, but I heard something that made my mood fluctuate sharply! Su Ling thought silently. Of course, he couldn’t say it like that. After all, Lin Meng’s suggestion and Mother Xiào’s bluntness were all regular topics in Planet Belle. He wiped his hands and threw the napkin into the trash can, “I must have drunk too fast.”

Su Ling’s face was flushed from coughing, and his voice was hoarse, sounding like he was embarrassed.

Lin Meng: “Haha, I used to drink too fast and always choked, but now I take sips and swallow it before the next sip. Try it, you won’t be choked next time.”

Su Ling smiled, “Okay.”

At about 9:30 am, Su Ling and Gu Liheng left the Xiào villa and went to the Central Hospital. The two sat in the back seat of the car. Su Ling casually grasped male god’s defined hand and played with it, pinching his knuckles with interest.

Gu Liheng let Su Ling play, cooperatively spreading or lifting his fingers while looking at him intently. The young man has delicate eyebrows and black hair. His fair skin looks very soft. “You are still young, don’t worry about children,” he said calmly, “I’m not in a hurry as well.”

Surprised, Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng with wide eyes.

Gu Liheng smiled and pushed aside the slightly longer hair that fell on Su Ling’s eyelids, “You choked on the juice because you heard this, right?”

Su Ling’s surprised expression disappeared, and he smiled at him, “You have been looking at me?”

Gu Liheng nodded honestly, “En, you weren’t drinking too fast.” He grabbed Su Ling’s hand and added, “Don’t be afraid, we won’t have children until you are ready.”

Su Ling laughed and hugged Gu Liheng, “You are so kind.”

He didn’t say that he never want any children. Just like male god said, they still have a long time to get ready, which their lifespan is much longer than the time he spent as a man on Earth. His body has changed, the environment around him has also changed, so his thoughts can always change.

Gu Liheng held Su Ling’s waist and confessed, “I also have my own selfishness. I enjoy our time with just two of us.”

Su Ling immediately responded, “I like it too!”

…

Parking the car in the hospital parking lot, the two got off the car together and walked to the building where Ni An’s office is located. Before leaving the parking lot, noise could be heard from the front left. Su Ling glanced over there and saw 2 luxury cars parked side by side. There were 4 people standing in front of the cars, 2 with their backs facing them and 2 facing each other.

One of the men facing Su Ling and Gu Liheng has cropped hair, and his right eye was red and swollen. The corner of his mouth was also injured, and he was glaring at the person standing in front of him.

“Don’t think of yourself as anything special. Right now, who doesn’t know that President Gu is trying to bring down both your father and you? So no need to pretend in front of me. Without the Gu company, who else in Planet Belle will shelter you? As an Alpha, you only know to scheme all day long, I’m already disgusted with you from early on.”

The black-haired man with his back facing Su Ling and Gu Liheng raised his head and his voice was cold as he said, “You forgot how you used to run around like a dog? What? Now you want to attack me to please Gu Liheng? A dog-faced person like you, other people won’t bother at all. Raising a real dog will get more sincere loyalty than you.”

Su Ling was a little surprised, that’s Gu An’s voice.

“Gu An, say it again fcker,” the cropped hair man raised his hand. Before his fist fell on Gu An,
the man with blue T-shirt beside him grabbed him and pulled him back, “Don’t be impulsive.”

Gu An snorted coldly, “Oh, touched a nerve?” Then he moved his gaze to the man with blue T-shirt, “Don’t pull him back. Let him come, I promise not to fight back.”

“And let him get arrested to the prison, right?” The man in blue T-shirt glared at Gu An, “Don’t aggravate him, we used to let you do whatever you want. But we are not scared by you, we just don’t want to offend the Gu company.”

Gu An yelled, “Shut up! Do you want me to give thanks to Gu Liheng for backing me for so many years? You guys used to surround me and flatter me, but you didn’t say it was because of him!” He took a breath before adding, “Why don’t you flatter around him instead?”

The man in the blue T-shirt curled his lips, “Who doesn’t know that President Gu is a lone ranger?”

Su Ling tilted his head to look at Gu Liheng, and whispered, “Lone ranger?”

Gu Liheng looked down at Su Ling, showing a hint of helplessness, “This is the first time I have heard of this title.”

Su Ling’s eyes curled with laughter and he asked, “What to do? It’s going to be 10.00 am in less than 10 minutes.”

Gu Liheng answered the question with action. Taking Su Ling’s left hand, Gu Liheng leads him to go to the right side and continued to walk forward. When they reached the front of the path, the quarreling men on the left looked over.

The air was quiet for a moment. Immediately afterward, 3 voices greeted, “President Gu.”

Gu An looked at the two incoming people with an ugly expression, and the corners of his mouth sank.

Gu Liheng nodded to the 3 people who greeted him and said, “Excuse me, the time agreed with the doctor is approaching, I’ll be leaving first.”

“It’s okay, no problem.”

Gu Liheng smiled and took Su Ling past them.

“Stop,” Gu An said suddenly and ran in front of the two of them. Gu Liheng looked at him, “You need something?”

Gu An stared at Gu Liheng and asked, “Are you really going to corner us to the wall? In the past few days, all of my projects have been divested. These were all your doing?”

Gu Liheng didn’t evade Gu An’s stare as he answered, “Yes.”

Gu An’s voice was raised, “I already said it that it wasn’t me who did it!”

Gu Liheng: “I don’t believe it,” he said in a low tone, “I don’t believe a word. In the past, you and your father’s small actions didn’t have a big impact on the company. So I acted like I didn’t see them.”

“It’s not that I don’t know, I just don’t want to care about you,” his voice turned cold, “but this time, you touched my bottom line.”

Gu An turned pale and turned to look at Su Ling, “I am really innocent, I…”

Su Ling waved his hand and said, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe a word.” Repeating male god’s words without missing a word.

Glancing at Su Ling with a smile, Gu Liheng looked at Gu An and said, “The world of an adult is different from that of a child. You should change your tricks.” He said lightly, “Adults, speak with their strength.”

Hearing that, Gu An clenched his fist as he watched the two walked away without saying a word.

The man with cropped hair looked at Gu An with a cold snort and headed to the outpatient building with the blue T-shirt man. As they walked away, he said, “President Gu is right, strength is the most important thing. Look, when President Gu deals with Gu An and his father, the people who used to stick around Gu An are gone. Heh, it’s really a waste for Gu An to have such a good identity, he is clearly only 2 years younger than President Gu.”

Blue T-shirt man: “You don’t get to say anything, don’t you also run around Gu An before? If he really has the strength, you won’t be beaten today because he will leave you with no bones.”

Cropped-haired man: “I did it to get on line with President Gu! An Alpha like him scheming all day, and only know to makes small movements every day. If it weren’t for my father telling me not to mess with the Gu family, I would have had fought with him much earlier.”

“Okay, you aren’t any better. Look at President Gu, did he curse or beat people when dealing with Gu An?”

“So that’s why I am not President Gu!”

…

Su Ling couldn’t help but laugh as he walked, “You are sure famous, huh? People who know you usually say hello like this?”

Gu Liheng: “Except for official business, I rarely communicate with people and I don’t pay too much attention,” he thought, “It’s all the same with usual, just that my subordinates will stand straighter.”

Su Ling laughed out, “Then if you go back to work this time, your subordinates will surely drop their jaws.”

Gu Liheng: “Such a big change?”

Su Ling nodded, “When you are being serious, you still have the domineering aura. But your casual mode has a more relaxed temperament and a richer expression.”

As he spoke, he looked back and saw that the parking lot was no longer visible. He thought of the ‘tricks’ male god mentioned during childhood, and asked curiously, “Did Gu An bully you when you were a child?”

Gu Liheng: “It’s just little tricks. He probably got used to the success rate and has been using it until now.”

Su Ling: “What trick?”
