Chapter 38: No need for suppressants when you’re around

Shen Mu hastily stood up in a fluster, staggering towards the door.

However, as he raised his hand to touch the doorknob, he halted his movement.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the instinct to open the door for Gu Jun, instead turning away and heading to the bathroom amidst the relentless knocking.

With hands bracing against the sink, he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

His clothes clung to him, soaked from the prolonged water exposure. Wet strands of hair continuously dripped water, forming small puddles on his collarbone. His gaze was somewhat hazy, his face sporting an abnormal flush.

In addition to all this, there was… his pheromones.

At this moment, his pheromones were completely out of control, uncontrollably overflowing, saturating the entire house with his scent, thick and intense.

Shen Mu, looking at the message, felt a hint of warmth in his eyes. Gu Jun was so considerate and attentive. He knew that Gu Jun had asked him to go back early for the Lunar New Year, fearing any difficulty for him.

Leaning against the wall, Shen Mu took a moment to compose himself before responding: “I’m busy right now.” Gu Jun quickly replied, stating he was waiting at Shen Mu’s doorstep and asking when he’d be back.

He said he would wait for him.

The suppressed emotional turmoil surged up again. Despite feeling physically uncomfortable, Shen Mu resisted the urge to cry. “Can’t you have some dignity?” he scolded himself.

After hesitating, he sternly replied: “You should go back; I haven’t had time recently.” Worried that he sounded too cold, he began to second-guess himself.

Considering it from Gu Jun’s perspective, if he were the one crossing star zones to find Gu Jun, waiting at his doorstep, and Gu Jun told him he had no time and should go back, he would feel incredibly hurt and disappointed.

As Shen Mu anxiously awaited Gu Jun’s response, fearing he might be angry, the reply came: “I’m sorry, today was my fault, and I made you upset.”

Gu Jun was still apologizing, not mentioning whether he should wait or leave. Shen Mu’s defenses crumbled instantly. Outside was cold, and the wind was strong. How could he bear to let the person who had been on his mind for so many years suffer this kind of distress?

Let the dishevelment be; at this moment, Shen Mu was willing to expose his family’s shortcomings and his secrets to Gu Jun, letting him see.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mu walked to the door again, opening the first door.

“Shen Mu?” Gu Jun, outside the door, clearly heard the movement, called Shen Mu’s name with surprise, asking, “Are you home?”

The second door was also opened.

In an instant, a dense rose pheromone swept in, quickly enveloping the man outside the door.

“You…”

“I’m home.”

They both spoke at the same time, and then, Shen Mu was embraced by the man.

With a bang, the door closed.

Shen Mu held onto Gu Jun’s waist tightly, burying his head in his neck, rubbing against it.

For hours, he had yearned for this embrace, and now, he finally got what he desired.

The wooden-toned rose pheromones in the room reached an unimaginable intensity.

Although Gu Jun had passed his sensitive period, his glands quickly reacted. The pheromones in his body struggled against his reason, wanting to overflow from the glands and entwine with the highly compatible rose pheromones, blending with each other.

Omega pressed against him with force, continuously nuzzling at his neck. The person in his arms was fragrant and soft; Gu Jun dared not exert too much force, afraid of hurting him.

He clearly noticed that Shen Mu’s condition wasn’t right and that he didn’t seem particularly clear-headed.

“Shen Mu?” Gu Jun called his name, his gaze fixed on the swollen glands behind his neck. At this moment, Shen Mu wasn’t applying the pheromone patch, and the source of the pheromones was within Gu Jun’s reach.

“Yeah.” Shen Mu responded softly, his voice carrying indescribable emotions. “Brother, I miss you so much.”

“Are you in heat? Do you need suppressants?” Gu Jun’s understanding of Omega’s heat was limited, mostly from high school physiology textbooks. “Do we have any at home? I can get them, or should I go out and buy?” Despite trying to keep his tone gentle, his urgency made him speak quickly.

“Not that.” Shen Mu’s lips brushed against Gu Jun’s collarbone, and he buried his head in the nape of his neck, taking a deep breath. Then, with a somewhat disappointed murmur, he softly said, “No scent.”

So soft, his lips were so soft.

Gu Jun’s body stiffened momentarily due to Shen Mu’s series of actions. His Adam’s apple rolled up and down, his lips pressed into a straight line, as if suppressing something.

He remained silent for two seconds, then spoke again with a husky undertone, “Not what?”

However, the Omega in his arms seemed to be in a slow signal reception state and didn’t answer his question. Instead, he slightly tilted his head to look at him. The clear eyes from the past were now clouded with a layer of mist.

“You…” Shen Mu’s current state left Gu Jun somewhat at a loss. He didn’t dare to force suppressants on Shen Mu if he didn’t explicitly ask for them. But he could address another immediate concern – Shen Mu’s clothes were soaked, and he needed to change them quickly.

“Which room is the bedroom?” Gu Jun asked.

“There.” Shen Mu trembled slightly as he pointed, feeling embarrassed. “My bedroom has a big bed.”

After saying that, the flush on his face became even more apparent.

Gu Jun lifted Shen Mu like a princess and walked towards the bedroom in long strides.

Instinctively, Shen Mu wrapped his arms around Gu Jun’s neck, leaning against his chest.

Gu Jun adjusted the air conditioning, raising the temperature. He glanced at the large bed in Shen Mu’s bedroom, then at the chair near the desk, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Can we use the chair?”

Because Shen Mu’s clothes were soaked, bringing him onto the bed to change might make the bed unusable for a while. However, Shen Mu’s condition clearly indicated a need for rest on the bed.

“No.” Surprisingly, Gu Jun’s question immediately drew a protest from Shen Mu. His ears were already red, and he tugged at the collar of his neck, insisting, “I want to be on the bed.”

On the bed?

Fine.

At this moment, Gu Jun decided to listen to Shen Mu. If need be, he could carry him to rest on the bed in a while. In such a large villa, it surely couldn’t have only one bedroom.

Gu Jun gently placed Shen Mu on the bed. Shen Mu’s wet clothes instantly left a damp mark on the sheets. Gu Jun sighed inwardly, starting to undress Shen Mu. Despite being very cooperative, Shen Mu had kept his head down, avoiding Gu Jun’s gaze as if afraid to look at him.

Gu Jun placed the removed shirt on the chair and reached for Shen Mu’s belt. However, the Omega, who had been cooperative moments ago, suddenly pressed his hand.

The Omega’s skin was fair, with a cool undertone, and the well-defined muscles on his abdomen were neatly arranged, making Gu Jun feel a bit warm.

“You…”

“I…”

They both spoke simultaneously.

“I can handle it myself.” Shen Mu hurriedly said.

“Oh, alright.” Gu Jun nodded, quickly walking to the bathroom and handing a bathrobe to Shen Mu. “Change into dry clothes quickly. Don’t catch a cold. I’ll leave first; call me if you need anything.”

After saying that, Gu Jun swiftly exited the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Shen Mu, holding the bathrobe, was initially stunned, then buried his face in it.

Oh God, Gu Jun clearly meant to help him change out of wet clothes to prevent catching a cold, but he ended up thinking in the wrong direction…

Luckily, Gu Jun probably didn’t realize his misunderstanding, or else he would be embarrassed!

Shen Mu shook his head vigorously, trying to stay alert, and changed into dry clothes. Then, staggering, he opened the bedroom door. “I’m done changing.”

“Shen Mu.” Gu Jun rushed over, supporting him. Seeing that Shen Mu’s gaze was clearer than before, he spoke seriously, “I have no experience with an Omega’s heat. You need to tell me your current condition and what you need me to do. Or, do you mind if I consult a doctor?”

“Your scent, I want your scent.” Shen Mu felt sore all over, and his head was dizzy. Taking advantage of Gu Jun’s support, he leaned against him, his voice carrying a hint of fragility. “You usually smell so good, but now there’s no scent.”

The Omega in front of him was obviously unstable on his feet. Gu Jun quickly circled his waist and tentatively released a bit of soothing pheromones. “Is this okay?”

Shen Mu took a deep breath, dissatisfied, “I want a bit more.”
