Chapter 32

“Sister, give it to me.”

Accompanying these words was the temperature around them rising sharply. Ambiguous bubbles seemed to become solid as they surrounded the two of them. The Alpha, restless and craving her, locked firmly onto her, not allowing her the slightest chance to escape.

The other woman’s burning pupils swept inch by inch across her face. Yan Shuangshuang only felt that every place Gu Xin looked at began to heat as well, giving her the illusion that she was about to be taken apart and devoured.

When things reached this point, it was too out of bounds for Yan Shuangshuang.

Gu Xin was not clearheaded right now. Just as love was only a joke played by hormones, an Alpha in her susceptible period would also follow instinct and automatically search for whatever method could make herself feel comfortable.

If the person standing here today were another Omega, would Gu Xin also approach them like this and crave them?

She would, right?

The more superior the Alpha, the deeper their need for Omegas.

Yan Shuangshuang’s hand was still holding Gu Xin’s face, that innocent, seductive face.

Normally, she would never see Gu Xin with this kind of expression.

Yan Shuangshuang suddenly calmed down. She asked, “If the person standing here today wasn’t me, but your team leader, you would choose her too, right?”

Gu Xin thought for a while, then asked, “Who is Team Leader?”

Yan Shuangshuang stared at her for a very long time. In the end, she said softly, “How good would it be if you were always this obedient?”

She would not betray her, nor would she compare her with anyone else.

She would be her one and only.

Yan Shuangshuang said, “You feel awful, right? I can help you.”

Gu Xin’s eyes lit up.

Yan Shuangshuang touched her face, rose on tiptoe, and embraced her all at once.

Unlike last night’s temporary soothing, this time Yan Shuangshuang directly washed Gu Xin through with her own pheromones—from inside to outside.

For the next few days, Gu Xin would no longer emit her own pheromones. She could only uncontrollably give off Yan Shuangshuang’s lime scent.

This was an impulsive temporary mark.

The moment Gu Xin was touched, she staggered two steps and hung on Yan Shuangshuang, unable to bear it.

She was powerless to resist Yan Shuangshuang’s strength at this moment, just as she had been unable to resist the scent of Yan Shuangshuang’s pheromones from the very beginning.

Even if her pheromones showed the intention to fight back, they were ruthlessly suppressed at the first opportunity.

At this moment, Yan Shuangshuang possessed a decisive, beautiful ruthlessness.

The positions of hunter and prey reversed. The one who refused to let the other escape had become Yan Shuangshuang.

In the intervals of being soothed, Gu Xin’s stalled brain suddenly remembered something: if matching tests from fantasy novels truly existed in this world, then golden dewdrop flowers and lime must be a natural pair.

The dominance of golden dewdrop flowers could only be cured by lime.

The deliciousness of lime could only be stained by golden dewdrop flowers.

Would their compatibility exceed ninety percent?

Yan Shuangshuang could not read minds, nor did she know that Gu Xin’s overheated brain was still thinking about something so chuunibyou yet pure. Right now, she only wanted to possess this person in this moment.

This embrace lasted more than ten minutes. The Omega’s pheromones continuously soothed the irrational Alpha, gradually calming the physical pain in her body.

Once Gu Xin had quieted completely, closing her eyes as if she had fallen deeply asleep, Yan Shuangshuang checked her again, confirming that she had not missed anything, then calmly left her pheromones behind.

At this point, the temporary mark was completely finished.

Right now, Gu Xin was a rare delicacy. She could no longer make any response, as if she had just gone through a cruel struggle. And as the loser, she could only allow the winner to do whatever she wanted.

Yan Shuangshuang supported the dizzy person onto the bed and even thoughtfully [Read on BaiLianTales]covered Gu Xin with the blanket.

Yan Shuangshuang said, “Xin Xin, you were the one who begged me.”

A temporary mark.

A couples’ game that any sex could participate in.

Yan Shuangshuang had bitten Gu Xin before, and Gu Xin had bitten her before, but never once had she used such a heavy mouth.

If an Omega performed a temporary mark on an Alpha during the Alpha’s susceptible period, then as long as enough pheromones were stored, the Alpha would almost no longer feel discomfort during the susceptible period.

Conversely, when an Omega was in heat, if an Alpha performed a temporary mark on them, it would also greatly ease their symptoms.

Back then, Yan Shuangshuang had not differentiated yet. Even if she and Gu Xin bit each other, there would not be any special reaction.

This was Yan Shuangshuang’s first temporary mark, and also the first time she had seen Gu Xin react this strongly. She had to say, it felt wonderful.

Gu Xin’s gland should already have been occupied by her pheromones.

For the next several days, probably no one else could touch her gland.

Thinking of this, Yan Shuangshuang felt an indescribable sense of delight.

It was like stamping a mark onto this fickle person. From today onward, Gu Xin would carry her scent. No matter where she went, everyone would know—

Gu Xin belonged to her.

When Yan Shuangshuang appeared before everyone again, she had already tidied herself up so that nothing unusual could be seen.

She took the initiative to begin contributing to the base, busying herself up and down without stopping.

Zhao Censu also came over to help, but Yan Shuangshuang only looked at him once, her face expressionless.

Zhao Censu, on the other hand, seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

After following her around like a tail for who knew how long, Zhao ​stolen content​Censu finally found a chance to speak with Yan Shuangshuang alone.

“I really am sorry for offending you before.”

Judging by appearance alone, Zhao Censu did not actually look like someone with straight-Alpha cancer. But when he used his methods of pursuit on Yan Shuangshuang, that sudden affection, which also caused trouble for others, fully exposed the flaws in his personality.

Yan Shuangshuang made an oh sound and efficiently lifted the supplies onto the small cart. “I accept your apology.”

Anyone could hear the perfunctoriness in that sentence.

She said she accepted his apology, but her tone was full of the feeling of, All right, all right, this is enough, isn’t it?

Zhao Censu was still a normal person capable of receiving information, so naturally, he heard the hidden meaning clearly. His expression stiffened for a moment, then he said, “No matter what, seeing that you’re all right really is wonderful.”

Yan Shuangshuang stopped moving things. One hand rested on the cart, while the other wiped her sweat. “Are you finished? If you are, please move aside. I need to deliver these upstairs.”

Yan Shuangshuang said these words, but she did not wait for even a second more. She directly pushed the cart toward him without the slightest concern.

Zhao Censu dodged aside the second before he was almost hit. Still shaken, he shouted after Yan Shuangshuang’s back as she left without looking back, “Even so, I won’t give up on liking you, Shuangshuang! I’ll definitely wait until the day you see me!”

What answered him was Yan Shuangshuang’s unmoved back.

Zhao Censu’s face abruptly darkened. He spat, kicked the pillar beside him twice, then got up and went upstairs too.

Not long after Yan Shuangshuang went up, Ying Lu spotted her.

The moment Ying Lu saw Yan Shuangshuang, she shouted, “You’re injured. Instead of properly recovering, you ran here to do manual labor?”

Yan Shuangshuang said calmly, “It’s just some scrapes. They’ll be fine after applying medicine.”

Ying Lu said, “The base just boiled hot water. There’s a bathroom in the storage room. I’ll go wash at your place later, okay?”

Thinking of the delicious person in the storage room, and estimating that she had not woken up yet, Yan Shuangshuang said ambiguously, “Let’s talk about it later.”

“Don’t later. I’m in a hurry. I didn’t wash my face at all yesterday.”

“My hands aren’t free.”

“I’ll help you push!”

“I don’t have time.”

“I’ll help you work!”

Yan Shuangshuang thought about it and said, “Someone’s inside. It’s inconvenient.”

“I’ll help you…” Ying Lu froze. “Ah?”

Yan Shuangshuang directly walked around her, but Ying Lu quickly caught up. Shocked, she said, “I just saw the doctor calling people over. The ‘someone’ you’re talking about—don’t tell me it’s Gu Xin?”

Yan Shuangshuang neither confirmed nor denied it.

The corner of Ying Lu’s mouth curved for an almost imperceptible instant. Then she immediately pretended to be serious. “What’s with you? Didn’t we agree that you absolutely wouldn’t go soothe her? Fine, you soothed her, but how did you soothe her all the way into your room? Speak! Confess honestly! What happened!”

Yan Shuangshuang did not take the bait at all. “That’s what happened.”

“Wuwuwu, am I still your dear director or not? My female lead actually has secrets she won’t tell me.” Ying Lu immediately began fake crying. While fake crying, she even secretly watched Yan Shuangshuang’s reaction. Her acting was not heartfelt at all.

Yan Shuangshuang finally could no longer tolerate this director, who was even more dramatic than actors. She turned back and said, “Weren’t you reminding me again and again because you wanted me to go soothe her?”

Ying Lu’s eyes lit up. The nonexistent tears immediately disappeared, and she showed a gossip-hungry, excited expression without hiding it at all. “So did you soothe her?”

“No.”

“Ah?”

Yan Shuangshuang said, “I temporarily marked her.”

“…Ah?!”

The loud sound drew sidelong glances from others, but Ying Lu could no longer care about that. She grabbed Yan Shuangshuang’s shoulders and looked her up and down, left and right, shocked. “Fierce! What a fierce O!”

A temporary mark could be said to be important or [unauthorized copy]unimportant, and unimportant or important. It all depended on whether the person was traditional or not.

If the two parties were not in a romantic relationship, then a temporary mark was not allowed.

Many Betas did not care, but in reality, eighty percent of Alphas and Omegas were traditionalists on this issue.

Although Ying Lu had intended to make the two of them resolve their misunderstandings, she had not expected Yan Shuangshuang to be this effective, reaching the destination in one step. They had already reached the point of a temporary mark. Could reconciliation still be far?

Full of hope, Ying Lu asked, “So what was Gu Xin’s reaction? Did your relationship improve?”

Yan Shuangshuang said, “Our relationship improved… probably.”

After all, both she and Gu Xin had enjoyed themselves. How did that not count as good?

“She’s still unconscious right now, so I suggest you go later.”

Ying Lu silently clenched her fist. Nice. Then she said firmly, “Mm!”

When Gu Xin fully regained consciousness, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The aroma of food drifted through the base, and her stomach growled with hunger.

So hungry.

But her entire body was so numb, so comfortable. She felt lazy all over, completely unwilling to move, unwilling to think, only wanting to sleep.

The air after the rainstorm was especially fresh, and even the sunset carried a watery feeling.

Orange-yellow light shattered across the ground and fell over her body. It was especially warm, raising her comfort to another level.

Sinking into the blanket, she lazily stayed like that for several minutes. In this peaceful atmosphere, Gu Xin finally became willing to move her almost-rusted brain a little.

The first thing she remembered was last night.

Gu Xin actually no longer remembered how she had found Yan Shuangshuang. She only remembered that she had kept running and running, then somehow inexplicably found a crack.

She had run for too long, causing the muscles in her legs to still ache a little now—wait, shouldn’t it hurt a lot?

This doubt flashed past, and Gu Xin was quickly shocked by what came next.

She had indeed found Yan Shuangshuang, and she had indeed tried hard to rescue her. But why did the scene suddenly shift into the two of them rolling in the clouds and rain???

For the first time, her memory grew blurry. Gu Xin shot up from the bed.

In disbelief, she rewound repeatedly, but no matter how she thought about it, the places that should not be blurry remained blurry. As for the places that should be blurry, they were damnably clear.

At some point, the evening glow seemed to have dyed its way from outside all the way to Gu Xin’s ears. Yan Shuangshuang’s pleas for mercy, tearful complaints, and scolding in a sobbing voice echoed in Gu Xin’s mind like a wound-up music box.

Gu Xin’s ears were hot enough to fry eggs.

She did not know whether her face had turned red, and she did not dare confirm it.

When had this happened? What exactly had she been thinking?

In that kind of situation, what beastly disease had overtaken her to make her force her ex-wife?

—Although her ex-wife did not exactly look like she had been forced.

But Gu Xin selectively ignored that point.

Oh my god.

Gu Xin gritted her teeth and began fast-forwarding.

But she discovered that there seemed to be nothing much to fast-forward through afterward. Her memories were basically a mess, all blurry scenes, like an old television with a bad signal. She could not see anything clearly.

She only remembered one clear exchange.

“Beg me.”

“Please, Sister Shuangshuang. Give it to me.”

A feeling of almost ascending to heaven struck her.

Yan Shuangshuang laughed softly. “Xin Xin, you were the one who begged me.”

Ah!!!

Gu Xin! You can’t really be a beast, can you?!

What exactly did you do!

Gu Xin strongly suspected that the reason she remembered this part was because it had felt too good.

For the first time in her life, she had experienced the feeling of ascending to heaven. All discomfort had been completely erased, as if she had been purified and washed clean. Illness and pain had instantly moved far away from her.

Gu Xin sat by the bed, both hands thrust into her hair, supporting her head as she tried hard to calm the storm raging in her heart.

Had she done it?

She did not know.

Had she felt good?

She had.

So the question was: what were the odds of feeling good but not doing anything?

Gu Xin did not dare calculate.

With trembling hands, she prepared to loosen her clothes and check whether there was any evidence of her crime on her body. But when she looked down, she discovered that aside from a hospital gown put over her, inside, she was actually still wearing last night’s set of clothes.

Gu Xin froze.

In that lifelike memory, the two of them had both taken off their clothes.

What was going on? Could it be that after doing it, she put them back on?

Gu Xin still undid her clothes and discovered that aside from various small injuries, there were no other [Read on BaiLianTales]ambiguous marks on her body.

After going in circles, the matter returned to its starting point.

Had she done anything she should not have done or not?

Just as Gu Xin was doubting life, the storage room door creaked open.

Gu Xin jolted and quickly turned back, discovering a smiling face.

A familiar person, but not the familiar person she did not dare see right now.

Gu Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and could not help saying, “Please knock before coming in next time, okay?”

Ying Lu moved nimbly. With a whoosh, she darted inside, locked the door, and said in a strange tone, “Yo, yo, yo. You’ve already taken this place as your own territory so quickly. Pretty quick on the uptake, Little Gu.”

“What…” A guess spun around in Gu Xin’s mind, and she said in disbelief, “This is… Yan Shuangshuang’s room?”

Ying Lu corrected her. “To be precise, temporarily, yes. After all, she’s an Omega and also injured. Besides, why call her so distantly? Didn’t bailiantales.comyou already攻略 a tiny bit before?”

Gu Xin rolled off the bed in one motion and leaned against the wall, avoiding that bed as if avoiding something terrifying.

Ying Lu asked strangely, “What kind of reaction is that? Shouldn’t you be happy?”

Gu Xin covered her face and said in a tone of utter despair, “Don’t mention it. I’m a sinner.”

“It’s not that serious. Shuangshuang is perfectly fine, isn’t she? So what if you lay on her bed?” Ying Lu kept feeling that Gu Xin’s attitude was strange, as if she had committed some terrible, heaven-shaking crime.

But wasn’t Gu Xin the one who had been temporarily marked? Yan Shuangshuang did not have a single trace of scent on her.

A thought stirred in Ying Lu’s mind, and she asked, “Don’t tell me something happened last night? The two of you looked quite miserable when you came back.”

Gu Xin leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. Her face buried between her hands, she said dully, “Don’t ask. I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Then I’ll go ask Shuangshuang.”

“Stop right there!”

Ying Lu, who had deliberately started walking outside, paused. In her heart, she thought, Little thing, as if I can’t handle you. Then she turned and said, “You have to tell me clearly what exactly happened between the two of you.”

Gu Xin did mental preparation for a very long time. In the end, she struggled and said, “…Maybe, it was just that something unexpected happened.”

“Mm?”

“I can’t really remember clearly either… It just might, mm… involve some things that are hard to talk about.” Gu Xin spoke vaguely, hemming and hawing.

Her memory was too real, so real it seemed as if it had indeed happened.

But common sense told her that if something had happened, her body could not possibly be completely intact.

Yan Shuangshuang was not someone who would suffer a loss.

The nails on those hands really were sharp…

No, what was she thinking about now!

Urgently dragging back her runaway thoughts, Gu Xin thought for a long time before finally squeezing out one sentence. “That’s it.”

Ying Lu suddenly said, “You bit her gland?”

Gu Xin raised her head in shock. “How is that possible!”

She had not done that kind of thing. After all, at the time, her attention had been in other places.

Ying Lu said, “Then she bit your gland.”

“Not… not really, I think.”

Ying Lu smiled slightly and said, “Why don’t you smell yourself now?”

Only belatedly did Gu Xin discover that there was a familiar lime scent on her body.

…Mm?

Ying Lu said, “I thought it was something serious. Isn’t it just that you entered your susceptible period, and she gave you a temporary mark? How big of a deal is that? If you’re an Alpha, don’t care so much about these little details. Always being so coy and fussy will make you unable to find a wife in the future.”

Gu Xin nodded with two dreamlike mm sounds.

Ying Lu said, “Now that you’re awake, go report to the doctor later. Your susceptible period is very difficult to deal with. The doctor went through a lot of effort.”

“Ah.”

“Oh, right. Shuangshuang will be coming back to shower later. Good luck.”

“Mm…”

Wait. Shower?!

Some images uncontrollably surfaced, but Gu Xin was in good condition now and immediately gave the little figure in her brain, whose face had turned completely yellow from dirty thoughts, a stern slap.

No random thoughts allowed!

Ying Lu went out. It seemed she had only come to say this.

When Gu Xin was once again the only one left in the room, she tugged at her hair and thought, another mystery had been added.

How exactly had she been temporarily marked?

After Yan Shuangshuang finished dinner and returned, when she pushed the door open, the bed was empty. The person who should have been lying there had already vanished.

Unhurriedly, she took off her clothes, went to the bathroom, and took a shower. When she came out, steaming with heat, she sat on the chair and scrolled through her phone.

For the sake of rescue work, the base had urgently set up an internal network and made a system. Many things would be announced inside in real time. The constantly refreshing information allowed people to understand the current supplies and rescue progress at a glance. It was very useful.

Yan Shuangshuang scrolled for a while, and her gaze stopped on the system’s name.

“The System0.1by Hua.”

In the afternoon, she had seen Hua Ran again.

Some things could not withstand being mentioned. When more than one person felt that they looked alike, Yan Shuangshuang gradually felt that perhaps they really did resemble each other.

Yan Shuangshuang could see very clearly that in that team, Gu Xin was the second-in-command. Her only superior was Hua Ran.

What kind of mentality did Gu Xin have while working with someone who resembled her?

Hua Ran was so outstanding, and there was no barrier between them. Whether talking about work or life, they would always have topics.

This was the way of getting along Yan Shuangshuang had once dreamed of.

Moreover, if she had not sensed wrongly, this Hua Ran should also be an Omega.

The phone remained motionless for so long that the screen turned off.

Yan Shuangshuang only felt that the feelings she had forcibly suppressed had begun twisting awkwardly again.

Madam Yan was a psychologist, but she would not treat family members.

When things were most serious, she had forcibly sent Yan Shuangshuang, who had been unwilling to seek treatment, to an old friend of hers.

Many people were trapped by love, but there were not many as tragic as Yan Shuangshuang.

Yan Shuangshuang thought, They really are alike.

Hua Ran resembled her, while the current Gu Xin resembled herself from three years ago.

The phrase “made for each other” could be used on them with perfect accuracy.

Her thoughts gradually sank into the mire. Suddenly, the storage room door was pushed open heavily.

A figure stood at the doorway, panting. The faint lime scent on her body revealed her identity.

Yan Shuangshuang’s eyes slowly widened. She seemed unable to understand why the person who should have been paired with someone else had suddenly appeared here.

Gu Xin walked in step by step. While calming her breathing, she [Read on BaiLianTales]called her name. “Yan Shuangshuang.”

Yan Shuangshuang’s heart trembled suddenly. Gu Xin rarely called her full name. Coming here with this kind of posture—was she here to demand an explanation?

Gu Xin said, “You asked me whether I would choose someone else.”

Yan Shuangshuang’s eyes moved slightly. She turned her face away, unwilling to listen.

In any case, she had already temporarily marked Gu Xin. No matter how unwilling Gu Xin was, right now, she had no way to erase Yan Shuangshuang’s scent.

But Gu Xin ignored everything and spoke with complete calm and firmness. “I just want to tell you that I won’t. Absolutely won’t.”

Yan Shuangshuang’s expression changed slightly. She abruptly raised her head and looked directly at this little bastard who had barged in so casually.

Her eyes seemed to say: You’re lying to me again.

Gu Xin understood.

When she had finished dinner and Little Ke unintentionally mentioned bailiantales.com Hua Ran again, that question had flashed through her mind like lightning.

Suddenly, she understood what the person before her had been thinking.

The temporary mark was like a beautiful dream, but the unease, irritation, and displeasure inside Yan Shuangshuang’s pheromones had also been left in her body along with Yan Shuangshuang’s dominance.

Gu Xin took a deep breath. “From beginning to end, I never considered anyone else.”

“I have never felt that Hua Ran looks like you.”

“I didn’t find anyone to be your substitute meal, or anything else messy like that.”

“You think I’m lying, but you can come listen yourself.”

Gu Xin walked over and crouched in front of Yan Shuangshuang, looking up at her flickering gaze.

Gu Xin pulled one of Yan Shuangshuang’s hands out and gently placed it against her own face.

She said, “Only you.”

No one else.

As I wandered aimlessly like a beast, the only one I wanted to find was you, the one who could quench my thirst.
