The bright red strawberries of the same sizes were delicately arranged in the paper box. They were most likely freshly picked and arrived by air, even being able to smell its fresh and sweet fragrance. Yan Yi knew that half of it was the smell of money. He could only use the remaining strength he had after resisting the pain to put on an expression that he liked eating them.   

His stomach churned and twisted like a strong man wringing a towel. When it was almost wrung dry, Yan Yi suppressed the gripping pain and swallowed the cold watery food.

He ate more than ten in a row. 

What he enjoyed wasn’t the strawberries, but the soothing pheromones lingering on the hand that fed each one.

There were subtle functional differences in the pheromones of a person’s glands, which could roughly be divided into different functions such as oppression, soothing, courtship etc, each changing according to the mood of the body.

Releasing soothing pheromones required the alpha to be patient and tranquil in order for it to take effect. Out of desire to protect a naturally weak omega, it would naturally flow out of the gland and stimulate the receptors of the omega’s glands, transmitting nerve impulses to the center, so the omega would receive a sufficient sense of security functioning as an analgesic and stabilizer.

Releasing soothing pheromones made Lu Shangjin tired as he lacked patience.

As well as the desire to protect Yan Yi.

He was an omega who stood on top of the pyramid, with a third-grade differentiated top gland that alphas couldn’t even catch up to; able to forcibly stop two GTRs with his bare hands, able to catch an AK47 bullet of high velocity with his bare hands, and break the bulletproof glass of a helicopter with his bare hands. Such a one-in-a-million omega was wearing out Lu Shangjin’s pity year after year.

Lu Shangjin had bought a pair of expensive wedding rings and knelt down on one knee to put it on Yan Yi’s ring finger, so Yan Yi mistakenly thought they were married. 

After the mark was removed from his glands and had no longer become a hindrance, Lu Shangjin thought they had broken up. To Yan Yi, it was the breakdown of a family, and the shelter he had lived in for more than ten years no longer had his name.

He felt as though he had bought a tube of toothpaste when the days were tight. 

When it was first bought, even a slight squeeze would produce a large amount, and he would want to suck it back. Once a lot was used, he would begin to fold and crush it, rolling it into a roll and wanting to squeeze only a bean-sized amount. He’d become exhausted, but as it could still always be squeezed out, he wouldn’t throw it away for the time being. 

The invulnerable little rabbit didn’t need protection at all. 

Lu Shangjin touched his head, “I have an afternoon flight, just a short business trip, when I come back I’ll take you home.” 

Yan Yi’s heart sank after hearing the words “business trip”, but was much relieved after hearing the second half of the sentence. 

He smiled as a weight lifted off his mind, why did putting the three ordinary words ‘take you home’ together become so warm? Like a match suddenly lighting up in the bitter cold, sparkling in the reflection of Yan Yi’s eyes. 

“Mn, take me home…” Yan Yi held onto Lu Shangjin’s hand before he could retreat back and kissed his fingertips. 

Lu Shangjin leaned down and kissed between his eyebrows, “Be good.”
