The smell of food is the biggest wake-up call for someone as hungry as ShiWen. When he was pulled out of his dream, ShangYu had just put the food that the room service delivered on the table.

"Your awake?" ShangYu stepped forward and messed with his hair, "Do you want to eat something? Or maybe some more sleep?"

"hmm...eat something maybe.", he blinked his eyes lazily, after a full sleep he was much more comfortable than before. ShiWen got out of bed in support of ShangYu, moved his leaden legs to the sofa, and sat down. The dishes seemed very attractive, ShangYu served ShiWen and himself a bowl of rice, and took another one and filled it with soup for ShiWen. The milky mist with the sweet smell of pumpkin spread between his nose. ShangYu said, smiling "Eat it before it gets cold." and quietly ate his meal.

It is not accurate to say that ShangYu and ShiWen have meals together. Most of the time, it was ShiWen ate while ShangYu watched, and most of the dishes on the plate were put into ShiWen's bowl. When ShiWen has done eating, there is still a big bowl of rice in front of him.

"Aren't you going to eat it? ShiWen asked, chewing his food.

"Yeah, I'm not very hungry," he put another meat in ShiWen's bowl, "eat, lovely."

"Oh." ShiWen looked at him warily and ate another mouthful of rice.

After they had finished their meal, ShangYu called the room service to clean up. ShiWen sat awkwardly on the sofa and waited for the room service to leave before hesitantly calling out,

"ShangYu".

"Yeah?" ShangYu looked back at him.

"......" The tension made his nerves a little tense. ShiWen swallowed at the calm expression of ShangYu. After some hesitation, he said, "I... I want to explain."

"Alright." ShangYu walked over and sat down beside him.

There wasn't much to explain： some unknown Omega wanted to date ShangYu, so he drugged him. ShiWen was aware of this and drove the omega away, then he had sex with ShangYu by a strange coincidence when he was trying to get ShangYu to bed.

But at that time ShangYu was already half unconscious, he didn't even recognize him when ShiWen took him back to his room. ShiWen's desire for ShangYu was known to all, even if he didn't mean to take advantage of ShangYu when he was drugged, with this good opportunity ahead of him, and he was indeed marked, no one will believe him if he said that he didn't mean it. As for ShangYu, well, he hates him, so of course, he won't believe it.

Time passed slowly, the young man with his head down did not even dare to make eye contact with ShangYu, whose sitting next to him. He was still wearing the shirt that the drugged Alpha ripped last night. His delicate collarbone was exposed from the ripped collar bone--- fair and beautiful. There was a faint scent in the air from the fake Omega glands, and because it was marked, the cheap syrup was infused with an advanced, bitter taste. ShangYu stared at Wen's twisted fingers and then at his lowered head. He couldn't help but wonder when he would take revenge on that signer. After a while, he patted ShiWen's soft hair.

"Now that I know." ShangYu said, meeting ShiWen's shocked eyes, ShangYu's heart suddenly tighten, his voice soften as he continued, "I'm sorry about last night, I mean, the brutal sex, it was my fault, I wasn't in my right mind, I think I might have hurt you last night, I'm sorry."

"No... what?" ShangYu believed in him? ShiWen was surprised. He looked ShangYu in the eye again carefully, as if he wanted to know whether he could believe him or not. Suddenly, ShangYu grasped his hands.

"But since you have been marked last night," he pressed ShiWen's hand into his own and kissed his cool forehead. ShangYu tried his best to repress an indescribable throbbing in his heart, but he managed to utter, "will you date me?"

The air fell to an eerie silence.
