After Rebirth, Married to a Deadly Enemy - Chapter 50
Bai Xiangxing woke up in a wave of warmth, feeling strange, like a fish swimming into a current. It was unfamiliar yet he knew that this current belonged to him. It was a deep sense of attachment, like something very important had been added to his life.
What was it? Why did this warmth and scent feel so familiar?
“Shi Zhen, you bastard, be gentle!”
A shout from his memory woke Bai Xiangxing up, dispelling the drowsiness caused by the warmth in his body. He sat up abruptly from the bed.
“Ugh!” Just as he sat up halfway, the inexplicable soreness all over his body almost made him fall back down. “Shi Zhen, I’m going to kill you!”
Seeing Bai Xiangxing wake up, Shi Zhen, who wanted to approach, froze suddenly. His already fearful face turned pale instantly.
Was it really forced by himself?
Shi Zhen clearly remembered releasing Bai Xiangxing before completely losing his sanity. But when he regained his senses, Bai Xiangxing appeared by his side again. The two of them were intertwined in an extremely shameful and intimate posture, their pheromones pulsating with pleasure unique to them. The surge of emotions had not yet receded from their bodies. Without looking at Shi Zhen, he also knew that they had completed their bonding.
At that moment, Shi Zhen didn’t know if he was more joyful or fearful. When he went into rut voluntarily, Shi Zhen understood his own feelings. He liked Bai Xiangxing. As an Alpha, being able to bond and possess the Omega he liked, how could he not be happy? But that person was Bai Xiangxing, and he was more afraid of hurting him.
After sobering up, Shi Zhen silently stayed by Bai Xiangxing’s side, feeling restless and uneasy. He speculated on how Bai Xiangxing would feel when he woke up and found himself marked. Angry, furious, wanting to kill himself? He could handle all of that, if Bai Xiangxing had rushed out to capture someone.
But what if Bai Xiangxing had come back on his own? Shi Zhen looked at the door of the room, it was intact, without any traces of damage. He had lost his sanity at that time. If he had wanted to rush out and capture someone, he would have broken the door violently.
Just the thought of this possibility made Shi Zhen unable to contain his excitement. In this way, the man who made decisive decisions on the battlefield was torn between anxiety, guilt, fear, and joy, silently waiting for Bai Xiangxing to wake up and give him the final verdict. Then Bai Xiangxing woke up, and the first thing he said sentenced him to death.
Shi Zhen stood still, unable to move a step, as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment. A deep sense of powerlessness and sadness surged from the bottom of his heart, turning into a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, Bai Xiangxing finally recovered, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over his body. Even though his body was uncomfortable, he still had to take a bath first. He couldn’t help but curse in his heart again: “Shi Zhen, this bastard, didn’t even let me take a bath afterwards, only cared about his own pleasure, scumbag.”
Bai Xiangxing gritted his teeth, lifting the blanket with one hand and propping himself up with the other. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he raised his head and met Shi Zhen’s desolate smile.
Bai Xiangxing froze, and so did Shi Zhen. Then both of their eyes moved down simultaneously, looking at the revealing scenery under the blanket.
“Close your damn eyes!” Bai Xiangxing roared, wrapping the blanket tightly around himself. The pain in that indescribable area made his face green. “You beast!”
He had cursed this countless times last night, and now he had no psychological pressure to curse again. This guy was indeed a beast. Clearly, they had completed the bonding, and his pheromones had calmed down, but this guy still wouldn’t let him go.
Shi Zhen’s already pale face instantly lost all color. He closed his tightly furrowed eyebrows above his closed eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He just raised his hand, took out a pistol from the spatial button, aimed the muzzle at himself, and handed the gun handle to Bai Xiangxing. “You can do it now.”
Bai Xiangxing was directly bewildered by Shi Zhen’s actions, and he was feeling quite complicated at the moment, okay? Although he was the one who decided to come in last night, his mind was in chaos at that time, and he didn’t think about anything before his body came in on its own. After entering the room, everything developed too quickly, and he didn’t even have the chance to regret it before everything happened.
But unlike Shi Zhen, he didn’t completely lose his sanity. Except for the brief moment of distraction caused by the immense pleasure of the blending of their pheromones during the initial bonding, he was actually awake for the rest of the time. So he clearly remembered his emotions at the time. Apart from a bit of unwillingness and anger deep down, he didn’t seem to be averse to it. And that bit of anger was more because of Shi Zhen’s excessively rough actions.
“What do you mean?” Bai Xiangxing’s heart was still in turmoil as he asked.
“Sorry, although I lost my sanity yesterday, I was clear in my heart. I wanted you, so I rushed out to bring you back, so you don’t have to worry. It was indeed me who forced you.” Shi Zhen apologized.
Bai Xiangxing’s face instantly turned red when he heard Shi Zhen’s words “I wanted you”.
“You were in rut and couldn’t control yourself, so you’re willing to let me kill you?” Bai Xiangxing deliberately asked.
“No, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have acted like that.” Shi Zhen explained.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, I wouldn’t have gone into rut, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have lost my sanity, let alone forced… other Omegas. So, I did force you.” Shi Zhen was confident in his self-control. If it wasn’t for Bai Xiangxing, none of what happened yesterday would have occurred.
So, Bai Xiangxing didn’t wrongly accuse him.
Bai Xiangxing looked quietly at Shi Zhen, feeling even more complicated. He had thought about waking up and beating Shi Zhen severely, making sure to vent his anger, but this guy was even more extreme, actually handing the gun to him, letting him decide his fate.
How could he handle this? If he really killed him with one shot, Bai Xiangxing couldn’t bring himself to do it. If he let him go, Bai Xiangxing wouldn’t be satisfied, after all, he was the one who suffered last night, even though he walked in on his own.
Damn it!
Bai Xiangxing pounded the bed irritably, then cautiously wrapped himself in the sheet and got out of bed.
Shi Zhen knew that Bai Xiangxing had gotten out of bed by the sound, and he also felt him getting closer step by step. Shi Zhen didn’t move, still holding the gun steady, waiting for the other party to come and take it. But Bai Xiangxing floated past him lightly, walking to his back.
“You?” Shi Zhen subconsciously opened his eyes, but dared not turn around.
The sound of the door opening and closing behind him made Shi Zhen realize that it was the bathroom. As he wondered if Bai Xiangxing had an obsession with cleanliness and wanted to take a bath before killing him, Bai Xiangxing’s voice came from behind him: “I came back by myself last night.”
Shi Zhen turned around abruptly, and what greeted him was the scene of the bathroom door being slammed shut heavily. Shi Zhen stood still, stunned, his hand holding the gun trembling incessantly, as if trying to suppress something. It wasn’t until the sound of running water came from the bathroom that he snapped out of it.
He came back by himself?
So it wasn’t that he lost his sanity, regretted it, and went out to bring him back?
He came back on his own, does that mean he also likes him a bit?
Like a gust of wind ruffling a pool of water, the water rippled from the depths of his heart to his eyes under the sunlight. Shi Zhen couldn’t help but smile uncontrollably. He tried several times to control himself, but his expression seemed to be out of control, and he couldn’t contain it. In the end, he simply let go completely.
It wasn’t until now that he dared to reminisce about the absurdity of last night. Although most of the time he was dominated by lust, the profound pleasure that penetrated his bones was something he had never experienced before. Every mark on the supple skin was branded by his own hands.
Thinking of those bruises, Shi Zhen turned and left, returning with five or six tubes of ointment for swelling and bruising.
When Bai Xiangxing came out of the shower wearing a bathrobe, he saw Shi Zhen staring at him with five or six tubes of ointment in his hand.
Bai Xiangxing had an unpleasant bath. He felt sore and weak all over, and unfortunately, the room didn’t have a bathtub. His mood, which had already been somewhat adjusted, worsened upon seeing Shi Zhen’s lively appearance.
“Why are you still here?” Bai Xiangxing angrily asked.
“I…I brought you some ointment.” Shi Zhen showed the six tubes of ointment he was holding.
“Didn’t you give me one yesterday?”
“One isn’t enough. Your whole body is…” Shi Zhen’s voice weakened under Bai Xiangxing’s murderous gaze.
“Get out.” These two words were spit out by Bai Xiangxing through clenched teeth.
Where could Shi Zhen not see that Bai Xiangxing was angry? Although he really wanted to help Bai Xiangxing apply the ointment himself, he was worried that Bai Xiangxing wouldn’t be able to reach his own back. But at this moment, he dared not say more and stubbornly left the ointment on the table.
Bai Xiangxing wanted to go over and grab those ointments and throw them at Shi Zhen’s face, but he simply didn’t have the strength.
As Shi Zhen quietly retreated, he recalled that there was one thing he hadn’t explained: “I didn’t refuse to help you bathe because I didn’t want to, but because I was afraid you would get angry. I won’t do it again in the future.”
“Get lost!!”
Shi Zhen dared not linger any longer, opened the door, and with the agility of an S-level warrior, swiftly left the room.
Bai Xiangxing could hardly believe what he had just heard. Was Shi Zhen teasing him? Or did he hear his complaint about not being given a bath after intercourse? If it was the latter, he wished he could die.
Outside the room, Shi Zhen didn’t feel anxious because of Bai Xiangxing’s anger. Instead, he thought that Bai Xiangxing’s anger was good. It was the same as usual, proud and spirited.
But why was he angry? He clearly remembered Bai Xiangxing saying before that when he was still an Alpha, during the school’s sex education classes, he mentioned that Omegas’ stamina was not as good as Alphas’, so they would be tired afterward and the Alpha should be considerate and take the Omega to bathe. Alphas who didn’t give their Omega a bath after intercourse and only cared about their own pleasure were scumbags.
Shi Zhen didn’t want to be a scumbag Alpha, nor did he want Bai Xiangxing to see him as one, so he explained it like that.
