Chapter 32 – Estrus
Shen Mu effortlessly twisted open the cap and then drank the nutrient drink slowly and methodically. Even in this situation, he still exuded an elegant grace in his every movement.
After finishing the bottle of nutrient drink, Shen Mu felt that his stamina had somewhat recovered.
He checked the time, attached a gland patch, stood up, and started putting on his coat.
“Aren’t you going to rest a bit longer?” Su Bei looked at him, noticing that the sweat on his body hadn’t dried yet, and his complexion still had a hint of weakness.
“No need.” Shen Mu zipped up his coat and prepared to leave, “I have other things to do. We have video chats every night recently.”
“Tsk.” Su Bei sighed, “I can’t believe Gu Jun is getting so clingy when it comes to love.”

“The top-tier livestreamers from the First Star Sector organized a gathering on the live streaming platform.” Shen Mu explained, “It’s scheduled for tonight.”
“Oh, I see.” Su Bei realized he might have been worrying too much. It had only been a few hours since he received a reply. Song Xiangnan was probably busy with the gathering and hadn’t noticed his messages.
He thought for a moment but decided not to ask Shen Mu where the gathering was. He was worried that if he asked, he might end up going there. Song Xiangnan had complained to him at noon about how clingy he was, saying he was overly attentive and controlling, and that he felt like he had no personal space after they started dating.
Su Bei reflected on his behavior and thought he should try to control himself.
“Well, the shuttle I called for has arrived,” Shen Mu said as he walked towards the exit, “I’m heading back.”

“Um…” Su Bei followed Shen Mu outside and finally asked, “About the gathering of livestreamers in the First Star Sector, why didn’t you go?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Shen Mu looked at him with a slightly speechless expression.
True, Shen Mu was here to have his gland information extracted, so he naturally didn’t have time for the gathering.
Su Bei hesitated, following Shen Mu to the hospital’s entrance.
“What’s the matter?” With his shuttle waiting, Shen Mu opened the back door and looked at Su Bei who clearly had something to say.
“I have a somewhat awkward request.” Su Bei said with some embarrassment, “If it’s possible, could you go to that gathering for me? It’s probably still ongoing.”
Despite Shen Mu having just had his gland information extracted, he didn’t seem significantly affected. Su Bei knew it wasn’t entirely appropriate to ask, but he was genuinely concerned about Song Xiangnan.
Shen Mu looked at him with a hint of confusion, raising an eyebrow slightly.
He wasn’t particularly interested in the livestreamer gathering.
“We had a minor disagreement at noon, and then Nan nan didn’t reply to my messages for several hours. I’m just a bit worried about him going to that event alone with so many strangers.” Su Bei’s confidence in speaking gradually diminished, “So…”
“Sure.” Shen Mu quickly understood what he meant and agreed, “I’ll go.”
“Thank you so much.” Su Bei hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
“No need,” Shen Mu said calmly, “He’s my roommate after all.”
He remembered that the gathering was supposed to take place at a bar, not a quiet one.
His roommate had grown up in a rather sheltered environment, and he was naive by nature. His combat strength wasn’t that high either. Going to a bar alone to join a group of strangers for an event probably wasn’t something that would put one’s mind at ease.
So Shen Mu and the driver changed the meeting location and went directly to the bar where the gathering was supposed to be.
Shen Mu had spent quite some time away from the bar scene since leaving the Second Star Sector to attend university in A City.

There were about a dozen or so same-city livestreamers at the gathering. When Shen Mu pushed open the door to the private room, he immediately caught a strong whiff of alcohol.
The livestreamers were seated on a circle of sofas, and there was a table in the middle laden with bottles of alcohol and tabletop games.
The room was dimly lit, but the moment Shen Mu walked in, he drew the attention of everyone present.
The participating livestreamers were all reasonably popular. Most of them showed their faces during live streams, so they quickly recognized each other.
However, Shen Mu was different; he had never shown his face during live streams. Apart from Song Xiangnan, no one else here knew who he was.
Nevertheless, many of the livestreamers were extroverted individuals, and with the combination of alcohol and their high spirits, they quickly started greeting Shen Mu and asking which livestreamer he was. Some even went as far as whistling and teasing, saying that it was a shame someone with a face that could easily attract millions of followers without doing anything was choosing not to use their camera. They began guessing the identity of the faceless livestreamer among them.
“Twilight.” Shen Mu nodded at them, signaling his presence and revealing his livestream ID. His gaze, however, remained fixed on Song Xiangnan.
At this moment, Song Xiangnan was leaning in a corner of the couch, seemingly asleep.
As soon as Shen Mu announced his livestream ID, someone exclaimed, “Wow! It’s Twilight God!”
Twilight’s gaming skills were well-known in the livestreaming community. After all, his ID had held the top position in solo rankings for several months in a row. Not to mention that some livestreamers had encountered him in high-ranked matches and experienced being overwhelmingly outplayed by him.
Shen Mu walked quickly to Song Xiangnan’s side and called out to him. However, when Song Xiangnan heard the familiar voice, he just grabbed onto Shen Mu’s sleeve and looked at him obediently.
Song Xiangnan was clearly drunk, but his drunken state was peaceful; he wasn’t being noisy or disruptive. It seemed that he was handling his alcohol well.
“How much did he drink?” Shen Mu sat down next to Song Xiangnan, and Song Xiangnan immediately leaned against his shoulder.

“Less than a glass,” someone pointed to a c*cktail glass on the table and continued, “That one there.”
The drink looked like a fruit juice, but its alcohol content wasn’t low.
“Twilight God is here, I must raise a glass, raise a glass!” One livestreamer poured a large glass of strong alcohol and tried to hand it to Shen Mu.
“What are you doing? Can’t you see he’s an Omega and so young?” someone intervened, “Let’s order some low-alcohol fruit c*cktails.”
“Twilight God, you’re an Omega?” The person pouring the drink was clearly quite intoxicated, he rubbed his own hair and sounded surprised.
“What’s the matter?” Shen Mu casually took the glass, held it in his hand, and lightly swirled the content, his tone calm, “Don’t I look like one?”
“It’s just that you’re so fierce and skillful in the game. We had preconceived notions, preconceived notions…”
Shen Mu finished the contents of the glass in one gulp.
In the Lumina Star System, many people had stereotypical impressions of Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. For instance, those who excelled in piloting mechs were often automatically assumed to be Alphas, including in mech games. According to these stereotypes, it was as if Alphas were better at mechs than Omegas.
But that wasn’t actually the case. It was just that more people in mech-related professions happened to be Alphas.
In the A University’s mech engineering program, there were only a few Omegas among the hundred-plus students, but everyone’s exam results were quite good. Especially Shen Mu, who consistently ranked first in every exam.
“Truly the Twilight God, straightforward!” someone applauded and pointed to the deck of playing cards on the table, asking, “We were just playing a guessing game with cards. Twilight God, would you like to join?”
Shen Mu checked the time and realized that he would have a video chat with Gu Jun later. In comparison, he wasn’t particularly interested in the party. He had come to find Song Xiangnan.
At this point, the clearly intoxicated Song Xiangnan was arching against Shen Mu’s shoulder, even starting to hum softly. “Mu-ge, I don’t feel well. Also, the exam was so difficult, and Su Bei is so excessive…”
“No, we have something to do later.”

};

“But you’re already here, why rush to leave?” Someone immediately objected.
The person’s voice was a bit loud, and the semi-conscious Song Xiangnan absentmindedly picked up the pillow behind him and threw it toward that person. However, it missed its mark and landed on the ground. Someone had spilled some alcohol there, and the pillow happened to get stained.
“So noisy.” Song Xiangnan grumbled, “I’m taking an exam. Lower your voice.”
It was obviously drunken talk.
At this moment, Shen Mu felt that Song Xiangnan’s alcohol tolerance might not be as good as he had imagined.
“I’ll cover this round.” Shen Mu helped Song Xiangnan stand up and supported the drunk Song Xiangnan out of the private room.
Shen Mu had originally planned to take a shuttle back, but the semi-conscious Song Xiangnan kept complaining about feeling nauseous and not wanting to take the shuttle. He insisted on walking back.
Perhaps because he had only drunk half a glass of alcohol, and he had sobered up quite a bit, plus the cold wind outside after leaving the private room, Song Xiangnan was more awake now than when he was inside. At least he didn’t need Shen Mu’s support to walk; he could manage on his own.
The bar wasn’t too far from A University, and it was only about a fifteen-minute walk.
Seeing Song Xiangnan’s state, Shen Mu felt that taking the shuttle might indeed make him uncomfortable, and he might end up vomiting in it. So, he agreed to walk.
As they walked, Song Xiangnan continued to complain to Shen Mu, saying he shouldn’t have found a boyfriend who was so much older than him. He felt that men of this age were complicated – they were so obedient when pursuing him but became controlling once they were together.
Shen Mu wasn’t entirely sure about Su Bei’s exact age, but he had a general idea that while Su Bei looked quite young, he was actually significantly older than Gu Jun, not to mention compared to Song Xiangnan.
“Old man!” Song Xiangnan clearly wasn’t too pleased. As he walked, he kept rubbing his gland at the back of his neck. “Why does it feel uncomfortable after he marked my gland?”
Suddenly, Shen Mu’s brows furrowed. He had caught a whiff of Song Xiangnan’s pheromones.
He clearly attached a gland patch, but the scent of pheromones was overflowing.
His heat had arrived.
