Chapter 68

When Su Ziqin woke up, her body ached all over, as if it had been run over by a car. She was back in her room, in her bed. Her mind was still a bit fuzzy. She reached out to touch the space beside her, but it was empty.

“Honey?” A huge sense of loss washed over her. Su Ziqin ignored her aching body and ran out of the room, looking for Fu Qingyun.

As she was about to turn the corner on the stairs, she fell into a warm embrace.

“Why aren’t you wearing any shoes?” Fu Qingyun scooped her up. The weather was getting colder and colder, but Su Ziqin had run out barefoot. Fu Qingyun had heard her call for her and had practically thrown the takeout onto the table.

How could she have known that in the time it took her to grab takeout, the little fox would be crying and running out to find her?

“Where did you go? I couldn’t find you.” Su Ziqin’s eyes were red with a wronged look. She nestled into Fu Qingyun’s neck, sobbing quietly.

Fu Qingyun patted her back and said softly, “I went to get takeout. The security guard wouldn’t let the delivery guy into the complex.”

“Don’t leave me.” This was a side effect of the permanent mark. The Omega would become especially dependent on the Alpha who marked them, especially after they had marked each other multiple times last night and this morning.

Fu Qingyun looked at her thin clothes and hugged her tighter. “It’s okay, I won’t leave you. I was afraid you were hungry, so I ordered takeout for you.”

“I don’t want to eat,” Su Ziqin said, choking up.

Fu Qingyun was afraid to see Su Ziqin cry again. Her eyes were still red. “It’s okay, you’ve been crying all night.”

“I still want to cry.” Su Ziqin pursed her lips. Just being held by Fu Qingyun made her want to be marked again. The highly matched pheromones would constantly draw her in.

Fu Qingyun was a bit lost. Why does the little fox always want to cry? “Did I hurt you?”

“No, it was very comfortable.” Su Ziqin was a little shy. She whispered in Fu Qingyun’s ear. Other than her Alpha having almost no physical reaction, it took her less than ten minutes to go from being innocent to making Su Ziqin completely surrender. A triple-S Alpha… was truly amazing.

“But you cried so much.” Fu Qingyun held her and sat down on the sofa. She wanted to put Su Ziqin down and get her a cushion to make her more comfortable.

But Su Ziqin clung to Fu Qingyun like an octopus, refusing to get down. “Silly Alpha,” Su Ziqin whispered. “That’s a physiological reaction.”

Su Ziqin took Fu Qingyun’s hand. The injured hand had completely healed, and Fu Qingyun had removed the bandage. To be more specific… she had removed it last night.

Fu Qingyun was stunned. The things the tiger had shown her didn’t mention that an Omega would cry when they were marked. “Really? You’re not lying to me?”

“Nooo,” Su Ziqin said flirtatiously. So this was what it felt like to be addicted. No wonder Xu Zhiqian was always so brazen. She really wished Fu Qingyun could feel something too. “Did you not feel anything at all?”

She was too engrossed last night. Su Ziqin didn’t “examine” the Alpha’s reproductive gland like she had before. A permanent mark required a very specific position. Fu Qingyun was a female Alpha… Su Ziqin’s heart raced just thinking about that position. She really wanted it… She wanted more, and she wanted her Alpha to feel good too.

“I’m sorry, little fox.” Fu Qingyun had never had this kind of experience, so she didn’t know what the correct feeling was. When her body showed an unusual reaction, her brain would automatically control the unfamiliar physiological response.

Su Ziqin scoffed and held Fu Qingyun’s face in her hands. “Silly, why are you apologizing? Do you know how happy I am?”

Fu Qingyun shook her head. She had always thought that this kind of thing wasn’t that important.

“Honey, you were amazing.” Su Ziqin lay softly in Fu Qingyun’s arms and started playing with a lock of Fu Qingyun’s hair. “Oh, right! What time is it?”

It was only now that Su Ziqin remembered that her vacation was over today.

Fu Qingyun poked her forehead. “It’s four in the afternoon.”

Su Ziqin… “I think I don’t have a vacation today.”

Fu Qingyun chuckled and kissed her eyes. “Silly fox, you’re the boss. Aren’t you the one person in the company who can slack off?”

“Oh, right.” Su Ziqin thought this was a very good point. A hint of slyness flashed in her foxy eyes. Su Ziqin put her knees on either side of Fu Qingyun and wrapped her arms around her neck. “Honey, tomorrow is the weekend.”

Fu Qingyun tilted her head. “Do you want to go out and have fun?”

Su Ziqin looked at Fu Qingyun with a burning gaze. She gently shook her head. “I want honey to play with me.”

“I heard that you need to be moderate…” Fu Qingyun’s words were cut short. Su Ziqin took her hand and led it to a soft place. “Honey, my estrus hasn’t passed yet. I want… please?”

Fu Qingyun sighed and picked her up, walking towards the bedroom. Su Ziqin looked at the sofa with some reluctance. “Honey, I really like our sofa.”

Fu Qingyun flicked her on the forehead. “It’s easier to change the sheets than the sofa cover.”

Su Ziqin laughed happily at this. “Is Fairy Fu afraid to change the sofa cover? Didn’t you make this mess?”

“It was clearly…” Fu Qingyun stopped talking. Su Ziqin’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at her. “It was me? Teacher Fu’s skills are too good. I couldn’t help it. Or why don’t you try it again like last time?”

Fu Qingyun was confused. “Like what?”

Su Ziqin leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Why don’t you try using your mouth to block it again?” Su Ziqin was not afraid to use brazen words to get some benefits for her estrus. But about six hours later, she regretted it a little…

“Okay… ah.” Su Ziqin had said to use her mouth, but she didn’t say to use her mouth and her hands. Damn it, I’m going to die from pleasure…

Fu Qingyun’s stamina was incredibly good. She was like a curious baby. Seeing that she couldn’t block it, she even leaned close to Su Ziqin’s ear and asked anxiously, “Little fox, I can’t block it.”

“Shit, don’t talk,” Su Ziqin cursed. “Just kiss me.”

After going on until the middle of the night, Su Ziqin’s voice was almost hoarse. She was completely exhausted in Fu Qingyun’s arms. “Honey, I can’t do it anymore. You’re too amazing.”

Fu Qingyun gently kissed her forehead. “Tired? Let’s sleep.”

“I don’t want to sleep.” Su Ziqin hugged Fu Qingyun’s arm tightly. She didn’t want to close her eyes. She was afraid that Fu Qingyun wouldn’t be in her dreams.

Fu Qingyun hummed and said slowly, “You once asked me where the scar on my abdomen came from.”

Su Ziqin froze for a second. Her amber eyes were filled with heartache. She reached out and touched the scar on Fu Qingyun’s abs. “Where did it come from?”

“Tang Lin shot me with a lead bullet,” Fu Qingyun said. That memory was no longer important and could no longer hurt Fu Qingyun. Compared to Su Ziqin’s tears, Tang Lin’s bullet seemed less terrifying.

“She…” Su Ziqin’s words were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t imagine anything in this world being able to leave a scar on Fu Qingyun. “Did it hurt?”

Fu Qingyun nodded. “That’s the only thing that could hurt me. I was very lonely once. When I was eighteen, Tang Lin appeared. She was twenty-five, a Ph.D. student just like me. I had no friends, no family. Strictly speaking, I had a foster mother…”

“Foster mother?” This was the first time Su Ziqin had heard Fu Qingyun talk about things from the other world, and it was also the first time she had heard that Fu Qingyun had a foster mother.

Fu Qingyun stroked Su Ziqin’s hair. “She’s the one who took me away from here. She saved my life. But when I was little, she would only teach me things and then disappear for a while. I rarely saw her. When I was eighteen, she left, and Tang Lin appeared at that time. She was like a good friend, taking care of me in every way.

I couldn’t cook, so she would bring me food. She was obsessed with academic research. We often took classes together. She was very smart and we could talk about anything. I saw her as my only friend. Later, I told her my biggest secret, that lead could affect my body.”

Fu Qingyun paused here because Su Ziqin’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. Su Ziqin’s lips trembled. She asked with a choked, hoarse voice, “What happened next?”

“She exposed my secret. I was hunted down by the whole world. She rushed out and pulled me into a blue house and shot me with a lead bullet. It hurt a lot. The lead temporarily made my body lose all sensation. She injected me with a muscle relaxant that could knock out an elephant. Then she took out something.”

Su Ziqin frowned. She subconsciously felt it wasn’t a good thing. “What was it?”

“It’s a bit like the one in your nightstand, but bigger.”

Fu Qingyun’s words made Su Ziqin feel both shy and angry. So you knew all along… “She used that on you? Was she an Alpha too?”

“In that world, there’s no Alpha, Beta, Omega. There are only two genders, male and female,” Fu Qingyun explained. Su Ziqin remembered the song “If I Were a Boy” that Fu Qingyun had sung before. No wonder. So that world was just like I thought.

“Then what she did was just…” Su Ziqin held Fu Qingyun’s hand tightly. She couldn’t imagine Fu Qingyun being treated like that.

Fu Qingyun’s expression didn’t change. She just said coldly, “It was a forced act. But I managed to dig the bullet out in time. Someone saved me. Tang Lin died. She was killed by the person who saved me.”

“Honey.” Su Ziqin’s voice was trembling. In that world, Fu Qingyun was a girl just like her, a girl with only one gender, not a powerful Alpha. There were also sick people in this world who would torment a beautiful Alpha like Fu Qingyun. Her heart ached so much.

How lonely must Fu Qingyun have been to tell her secret to a stranger? And Fu Qingyun had no physiological reactions. If Tang Lin had succeeded… Su Ziqin couldn’t imagine how painful that would have been.

“My secret…”

“Don’t say it.” Su Ziqin propped herself up and put her hand over Fu Qingyun’s mouth. “Honey, your secret isn’t important to me at all anymore. I have a secret too that I haven’t told you.”

Fu Qingyun blinked. “Are you talking about the fact that you’re reborn?”

“What?” Su Ziqin didn’t hear her clearly. Fu Qingyun was speechless. Su Ziqin was about to say it herself, but the plot still blocked her words.

Fu Qingyun sighed. “It’s not important. Don’t say it.”

“Okay.” Su Ziqin obediently nestled into Fu Qingyun’s arms. She bit her lip, remembering what Fu Qingyun had said before. “Honey, I want more…”

“Mmm.” Fu Qingyun intuitively blocked her words with her mouth. Su Ziqin thought, It’s the weekend tomorrow anyway. And this night is still long… What could she do? She just loved this person so, so much.
