After being moved to tears by the sworn enemy's pheromones - Chapter 5

Throughout the night, Shen Jin slept soundly. Upon waking up, he found the surroundings empty, and the several pillows dividing the bed were neatly arranged. Shen Jin was initially bewildered, then sighed in relief.

It seems like someone holding him last night was just a dream.

The aftertaste of anxiety faded, and Shen Jin sat up, feeling much better.

He decided to attribute his abnormal heat cycle yesterday to a coincidence. Taking some suppressants and resting for a few days should fix it.

A tempting aroma of food wafted in from outside the door. After a quick wash, Gu Yu happened to come in with breakfast, saying, “Today, I’ll find a reason to help you get a leave from the instructor. It’s better not to go for now; otherwise, explaining another problem might be difficult.”

“That works,” Shen Jin didn’t object. “To avoid revealing my identity. Too many alphas falling for me; the child won’t survive.”

“…” Gu Yu paused for a moment, not sure what he was betting on, and asked, “Can senior still have children?”

“Nonsense.” Shen Jin casually lifted his shirt, revealing a thin layer of abdominal muscles, and replied, “Look, in the future, I’ll have one for you… Let you see how capable I am.”

The air conditioning breeze turned cold. Gu Yu reached down to pull down Shen Jin’s shirt before handing him the food.

Compared to caring about Shen Jin having children with someone, Gu Yu was more concerned about whether he could handle it. “Forget it, senior is afraid of pain and loves to cry… it’s more suitable for you to stick with your video games.”

Shen Jin wanted to punch him, but Gu Yu dodged, so he could only accept the food and ask, “Which takeout is this?”

“Takeout?” Gu Yu casually said, “Please address it more respectfully as breakfast. I made it, not takeout.”

Shen Jin almost choked on the porridge. He found it incredible, “You can actually cook?”

In his impression, Gu Yu’s family owned a company with several factories, and he had been pampered since childhood. He didn’t seem like someone who would cook. However, Gu Yu neither confirmed nor denied, directly asking, “What do you want for dinner?”

Shen Jin couldn’t help but feel puzzled, “Why? Do I have to stay at your place for another day? Acting like we’re in a harmonious relationship?”

“Harmonious relationship? It seems that senior is lacking an idiom dictionary,” Gu Yu replied. “I just want senior to rest well and eat. After dinner, we can spar again. Fair.”

Shen Jin considered and found it reasonable, “Alright, I can’t let the junior’s welcoming gift be delivered halfway.”

As they spoke, his internal abacus was already ringing: “So, you mean I can order anything for dinner?”

Gu Yu’s tone remained indifferent, “Anything from a lavish feast is fine.”

Pretending to think, Shen Jin already had an idea in mind.

He shamelessly started ordering dishes, “Then, I want crab paste lion’s head, sweet and sour pork, Longjing tea shrimp, and osmanthus sugar lotus root. After dinner, add caramel pudding and coconut milk cake squares. Is that okay?”

All from different regional cuisines, and the recipes aren’t exactly simple. He was clearly doing it on purpose. However, Gu Yu calmly nodded and said, “Yes, it’s quite sumptuous, suitable for a hearty meal.”

“You—” Shen Jin was about to argue, but Gu Yu stuffed a cream puff into his mouth. After struggling for a moment, Shen Jin could only grab the cream puff and usher this guy out, saying, “Hurry up and leave!”

However, Gu Yu stood still and took a while before bending down to take away Shen Jin’s empty bowl.

Shen Jin questioned, “Why are you taking my bowl?”

Gu Yu replied, “Lazy to open the dishwasher for just one or two bowls. Besides, just to emphasize, this is my bowl.”

Shen Jin was almost confused, asking, “Are you going to wash the dishes? I can do all the housework myself; you don’t need to bother.”

However, Gu Yu wasn’t concerned about his housekeeping abilities and only said, “I suggest that Senior, as an omega who can barely stand still during their heat period, refrain from getting wet. It’s for your own survival.”

Shen Jin almost got into another fight with Gu Yu, but Gu Yu appreciated his frustrated expression for half a second before turning towards the kitchen.

The sound of running water started, like the first note of a melody in the morning sunlight, falling on Shen Jin’s chest, making him both happy and irritable.

This irritability was like an instinct lurking in his body, something he thought he should have forgotten long ago.

When there was movement in the living room, Shen Jin couldn’t help but move to the bedroom door, sticking to the wall to sneak a peek.

Unfortunately, Gu Yu noticed him immediately and turned back two steps. “What’s wrong? Still uncomfortable?”

“No, your dad is strong enough to give you another ten siblings. It won’t affect our fight tonight,” Shen Jin quickly sent him away. “The food on the 3rd floor of the second canteen is the best in the whole school. Don’t make excuses later saying you didn’t eat enough… Hurry up and go.”

Gu Yu glanced at him, leaving behind the last sentence before going out, “Okay, there’s only leftovers for lunch in the fridge. Omega suppressants, medicine box, and sugar are placed on the bedside. Wait for me.”

***

After Gu Yu left, Shen Jin slept until 10 o’clock, and then he had time to take a look at the place this guy lived in.

The house was about fifty to sixty square meters, with only a master bedroom and a study. Therefore, the living room and bedroom were spacious. The decoration was a modern style with a cool and artistic touch. Gu Yu estimated that he was the first tenant.

Before this, Shen Jin had always assumed that with Gu Yu’s arrogant personality, he must be very tidy, even almost to the point of being a neat freak. However, looking at it now, he couldn’t help but have a headache.

The speakers and magazines were scattered on the desk, clothes hung on the balcony were thrown on the shelf together, and several unopened parcels were placed on the open space in the living room. All of these clashed with the predominantly gray and white modern decor.

“Not very particular about it.” Shen Jin muttered curses while organizing the clothes rack and neatly arranging the parcels. He felt the urge to help tidy up Gu Yu’s room, but when he reached Gu Yu’s desk, he stopped.

“Damn, what am I doing?” Shen Jin almost wanted to paste a talisman on his forehead to suppress this feeling of being possessed. Gu Yu has disliked him for 7 years. If he were to be found invading his privacy, things would be hard to explain.

After envisioning it again, he put the clothes hanger back, scattered the parcels again, and then sat back on the sofa, thinking it would be better to play some mobile games to pass the time.

Unlocking his phone, he first saw the messages from his roommate.

He clicked to check, finding several missed calls and a message box from the dormitory group chat, with Xu Tingyun’s conversation flooding the screen.

【Did you really play a ranked match with someone from the Science and Technology University last night? Which account? Send me a screenshot of your match record.】

【Someone heard that Gu Yu helped you get a leave, saying you were physically exhausted and couldn’t stand up. Resting in his room?】

【Why aren’t you answering Dad’s call?】

【Are you still a virgin?】

Shen Jin was bewildered. He didn’t have time to ask Gu Yu how he managed to get leave, so he quickly replied to Xu Tingyun: 【Pure rumors, still a virgin. Contact my manager if you have any concerns.】

After hearing his nonsense, Xu Tingyun naturally understood that he had indeed been at Gu Yu’s place yesterday. So he replied immediately: 【The Xu family doesn’t have a grandson like you!】

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it, Shen Jin explained:

【No, it was just a fight between enemies, and the chaos during the heat period forced me to rest first. It’s just a temporary measure.】

【Really, purely physical sleep, and I’ve poisoned his food.】

Xu Tingyun said: 【Forget it, no need to explain. As long as you’re not dead.】

Shen Jin hesitated for a moment and asked: 【Do you want his WeChat? Shall I send it to you?】

【My son is filial.】 Xu Tingyun replied: 【Sure, send it. After all, he’s my future daughter-in-law.】

Shen Jin told Xu Tingyun not to talk nonsense. On the other side, Qin Zhu, as a seasoned melodramatic novel enthusiast, added more drama: 【Without asking your junior for leave after Chapter 1 of “Don’t Even Think About Escaping,” how far has the story developed?】

Shen Jin’s head buzzed for a moment when he saw Qin Zhu’s reply: 【Chapter 1 – Continue the Past, Chapter 2 – Blaze of Passion, Chapter 3 – You’ve already been pressed by your junior until your belly is full of his *c*u*m*, very exciting, I recommend nominating for the Nobel Prize in Literature.】

Xu Tingyun took pleasure in his misfortune: 【Son, in this university town, you’ve probably permanently lost the right to choose a partner. Just settle down as the future school grass’s little wife.】

Shen Jin clenched his phone. Although he replied with “The school grass thinks you’re talking nonsense,” in his heart, he couldn’t help but open the WeChat conversation with “Soft Sweet Strawberry QAQ” and questioned: 【What did you say to the instructor when you asked for leave?】

But thinking that Gu Yu had also helped him, Shen Jin couldn’t help feeling uneasy. He could only use a cat angry expression to make his tone appear less aggressive.

By now, it was already lunchtime. Gu Yu quickly replied: Told the truth. Also, stop pretending to be cute.

Shen Jin, feeling aggrieved, cursed silently. He opened the refrigerator and took out the leftover dishes, waiting for Gu Yu to return in the afternoon so he could give this guy his fourth beating.

The sunlight outside the window was particularly scorching. Shen Jin, confident after a satisfying meal, had only one thought in his mind: Gu Yu had to endure military training in the high temperature all day and then buy groceries to prepare a hearty meal, while he could rest until the evening. It was like having a double dragon buff with six gods equipped. How could he lose in this situation?
