Chapter 227 The Commander Who Tastes Like Plain Water, He Loves Deeply (10)

Chapter 227 The Commander Who Tastes Like Plain Water, He Loves Deeply (10)

Just the thought of this made Pei Jingnian feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

A soft tenderness flickered in his eyes, and he smiled rarely, "We can only mark each other if we truly like each other."

Hearing this, Rong Jing was temporarily at a loss for words.

As an Alpha, he too had been tormented by the heat period.

Fortunately, inhibitors were effective for him.

But one day, they would fail, and he would become a slave to pheromones like many other Alphas.

Rong Jing tutted softly, "Bro Pei, you should read less novels."

"Love? That thing doesn’t exist."

He never believed in love anyway.

A pack of pheromone-driven dogs, dreaming of love?

Pei Jingnian dodged Rong Jing's hand that was about to pat his shoulder, "He likes me—that’s undeniable."

Rong Jing: ...

He couldn't help but ask, "Then do you like him?"

This question left Pei Jingnian stumped.

After a long silence, he asked, "What is liking?"

Rong Jing rolled his eyes in exasperation, "How should I know?"

"You've read so many novels, don't you know?"

Pei Jingnian fell into rare contemplation.

Though he had read many novels, they always depicted so-called love through marking.

But if love is really marking, then is the union of Alpha and Omega naturally love?

Pei Jingnian didn't think so.

So he couldn't answer Rong Jing's question at the moment.

Rong Jing shrugged and patted Pei Jingnian's shoulder.

"Bro Pei, just accept it, there can be no love between Alpha and Omega."

It has been this way for thousands of years, and they are no exception.

Pei Jingnian fiddled with his light brain, his voice turning colder.

"Did you come here just to argue with me?"

Rong Jing raised his hands, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore."

"I'll leave right now."

After saying that, Rong Jing dashed off in a flash.

Only Pei Jingnian remained in the control room.

He dialed Song Chuyi's video call again.

At that moment, Song Chuyi was soaking in the tub.

Although this era offers a one-click cleaning feature, he still prefers taking a bath.

Especially soaking in the tub while scrolling through netizens' comments on the star network headlines—hmm, it's really entertaining.

The video call popped up, and without a second thought, he hit the answer button.

Pei Jingnian's figure appeared on the virtual screen.

He was still in his military uniform, but his brow was furrowed with a hint of seriousness.

Song Chuyi lifted his hand, sending ripples across the water, obscuring his submerged body.

But his raised right hand was slender and pale, glistening with water droplets, exuding both fragility and allure.

Pei Jingnian's Adam's apple bobbed, sensing the onset of his sensitive period once more.

Frowning, he stepped aside, pulled out an inhibitor, and injected it with a stoic expression.

As the inhibitor entered his body, the slightly heated gland seemed to be blocked, gradually returning to normal temperature.

His gaze lifted to the Omega, whose shoulder was exposed, and his pupils darkened slightly.

"A'Chu, don't let those comments on the star network bother you."

Song Chuyi tilted his head, "You saw them?"

"Mm," Pei Jingnian responded in a low voice, "I saw them."

"Don't mind them."

"I don't mind," Song Chuyi explained, "I think the netizens are quite interesting."

"They are calling us the 'coffee brewing cp' right now."

At this point, Song Chuyi couldn't help but laugh.

Coffee brewing... it couldn't be more fitting.

If pheromones could condense into a physical form, wouldn't the combination of the two of them be like brewing coffee?

The more Song Chuyi thought about it, the funnier it became, and he laughed so hard his body curled slightly, sending ripples cascading across the water.

He laughed without any restraint, his beautiful eyes filled with radiant smiles.

As radiant as the stars above, it sent a tremor through Pei Jingnian's heart.

Even though he had already taken the inhibitor, even though he didn't feel the overwhelming sensation of being controlled by pheromones during the sensitive period.

But at this moment, the dense tingling sensation rising from his heart still made Pei Jingnian feel unfamiliar and a bit lost.

He pursed his lips, his chest rising and falling rapidly, forcing himself to calm down.

"A'Chu, I..."

He seemed to have something to say to the smiling Omega on the virtual screen, but the tingling sensation in his heart couldn't be transformed into words he could speak.

Instead, Song Chuyi stopped laughing and spoke slowly.

"Jingnian, I've missed you."

Pei Jingnian's heart raced.

A voice in his head seemed to say, yes, that's exactly it.

That's what he wanted to say to him.

He had missed him.

"Me too..."

Before he could finish, Song Chuyi suddenly burst out, "Oh, the streamer I follow is live now."

"I have to go now~"

As soon as he spoke, the video call was disconnected.

Pei Jingnian looked at the empty control room and murmured.

"I miss you."

He repeated these words, a bittersweet ache swelling in his heart.

Eager to see Song Chuyi sooner, Pei Jingnian hastened his return to Central Star.

Originally a two-day journey, he managed to shorten it to just one day.

The next night, Pei Jingnian was home.

Song Chuyi had just finished writing and posted the latest update to the story, with the plot reaching the scene where the main characters meet on the edge star.

Upon meeting, they exchanged only one sentence: "I miss you."

Just like what he had said to Pei Jingnian.

Pei Jingnian stood behind Song Chuyi and saw that sentence, his eyes flickering.

"A'Chu, I miss you."

His sudden voice startled Song Chuyi.

He turned around, "When did you get back?"

"How come I didn't hear you walking?"

"Just got back." Pei Jingnian took half a step forward, getting closer to him, "I do make noise when I walk, it's just that you were too focused."

Song Chuyi coughed lightly, "So you saw everything?"

"Yeah." Pei Jingnian's ears, hidden under his bangs, turned a shade of red, "I saw it."

A'Chu's love letters to him were becoming more and more heartfelt.

Song Chuyi felt a little embarrassed. Writing a novel titled "The Abstinent Commander Falls in Love with Me" in front of the commander was just too awkward!

"Just pretend you didn’t see it."

He quickly replied and changed the subject.

"Why are you back so early?"

"I... missed you." Pei Jingnian now said these words very skillfully, as if he’d practiced saying them in his mind countless times.

Song Chuyi cleared his throat. Although he was happy that Pei Jingnian missed him, the last line he’d just written in his novel was "I missed you."

It felt like Pei Jingnian was echoing the words from his novel.

It was beyond embarrassing!

Song Chuyi tilted his head slightly, dodging Pei Jingnian’s intense stare.

"Glad you’re back, haha!"

As he turned his head, the gland on the nape of his neck was exposed to Pei Jingnian's eyes.

The slight bulge was adorned with a small red mole, delicate and beautiful, tempting one to kiss and pluck it.
