Chapter 233: The Commander Who’s as Plain as Water Loves Him Deeply (17)

Song Chuyi looked at Pei Jingnian with a hint of confusion.

"Didn't you go to a meeting?"

Pei Jingnian responded in a low voice, but his arms tightened around Song Chuyi.

"I missed you."

His voice was hushed, as if the words made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Song Chuyi blinked, then burst into laughter.

"I’ve been right here the whole time."

He leaned his head on Pei Jingnian's shoulder, "I missed you too~"

Pei Jingnian looked at the Omega in front of him, whose eyes seemed to be tinged with warmth, and a line from the "love letter" he had just read flashed through his mind.

In the Omega's heart, he was the aloof and cold commander on high.

Not the Alpha who was now pleading for his affection in front of him.

Since the Omega cared for him so much, he had to give some response.

"A'Chu."

Pei Jingnian looked at Song Chuyi seriously.

"Forget the version of me in your memory."

He gripped Song Chuyi's shoulders with some force.

"The me standing here now is who I am, just remember me as I am now."

Song Chuyi: ???

He really didn't understand why Pei Jingnian was saying this.

Wasn't the him from before and the him now the same person?

He had always known what kind of person he was.

He reached up to feel Pei Jingnian's forehead, "Are you sure you’re not in your sensitive period?"

"I think you’re not thinking straight right now."

Pei Jingnian shook his head, "I’m fine, I’m serious."

"A'Chu just needs to remember the me standing in front of you right now."

"Okay, okay, okay." Song Chuyi responded repeatedly, "I’ll remember you as you are now."

Could it be that Pei Jingnian thought he looked better today than yesterday?

Otherwise, why would he want him to remember the him right now?

Who knew Pei Jingnian had such an ego?

After Song Chuyi agreed, Pei Jingnian was satisfied.

The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

Then Pei Jingnian showed Song Chuyi around the First Army.

The First Army was vast, with clearly defined boundaries between each division.

Especially the medical department, which housed many laboratories that were off-limits to general personnel.

While touring the medical department, Song Chuyi absentmindedly touched his gland.

Although Ke Xi had told him before that his gland was underdeveloped, he had been feeling some itchiness there lately, wondering if it was due to his heat cycle.

He had initially wanted to ask Ke Xi to examine him again.

But he reconsidered, figuring Ke Xi was likely occupied with researching the Zerg's new toxins.

In any case, he wasn't in a hurry; he could wait until Ke Xi was free.

Song Chuyi put his hand down and hooked his pinky finger with Pei Jingnian's.

"Are you not busy today?"

Pei Jingnian looked down, "Not very busy."

Song Chuyi raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to research those new Zerg?"

"Others will handle it," Pei Jingnian said, holding Song Chuyi's hand in his palm, "Right now, I need to take care of you."

Every Omega was a treasure of the Federation, especially Song Chuyi with his S-level psychic ability.

If it weren't for A'Chu's coffee-scented pheromones, many Alphas would undoubtedly be trying to pursue him.

The thought of it made Pei Jingnian's chest tighten.

It was an incredibly strange feeling, one he had never experienced before.

He didn't quite understand what this feeling was, but the mere thought of A'Chu being taken by other Alphas made him want to kill them all.

Song Chuyi caught a fleeting hint of killing intent from Pei Jingnian and let out a soft exclamation.

Wait, wasn't it said in the story background that Pei Jingnian didn't harbor hatred for the world?

Why would there be killing intent?

Had he missed something?

————

The appearance of killing intent on Pei Jingnian made Song Chuyi somewhat concerned, so much so that he spent an entire week thinking about it.

If Pei Jingnian hadn't been so busy, leaving no time for him to ask, he would have grabbed him by the collar to demand an explanation.

Finally, on the weekend, Pei Jingnian made it back at nine in the evening!

Hearing the voice, Song Chuyi quickly went downstairs and grabbed Pei Jingnian's arm.

"I have something to ask you."

Pei Jingnian saw his serious expression and quickly nodded, saying, "Alright."

He sat down, hands on his knees, sitting so upright that Song Chuyi chuckled.

"You don't have to sit so formally, I'm just asking casually."

He leaned back on the sofa, sitting there lazily.

Pei Jingnian did not relax his posture but asked earnestly, "What does A'Chu want to ask me?"

Song Chuyi brought up the matter that had been troubling him.

After listening, Pei Jingnian was stunned. A week ago... he indeed had murderous intentions.

The thought of A'Chu being stolen by other Alphas made him want to kill them.

He hadn’t expected A'Chu to be so perceptive, picking up on even that faint murderous intent.

Pei Jingnian's eyes lowered, and he said in a deep voice, "This is my fault."

"I shouldn't have had murderous thoughts towards those who covet you."

He should’ve just killed them outright.

Song Chuyi: ???

He lowered his head and sniffed the faint coffee scent on himself.

Though faint, it was unmistakably the bitter scent of coffee.

Besides Pei Jingnian, who else would have such a peculiar taste to covet someone with a coffee scent?

"Hmm..." he thought for a moment, "Are you overthinking this?"

"No Alpha wants me."

Pei Jingnian clenched his fists, "Now there isn't, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future."

"After all, A'Chu, you’re amazing."

How could such an amazing A'Chu not be liked by any Alpha?

Song Chuyi: ...

He hadn’t expected Pei Jingnian to be such a daydreamer.

"There isn't," Song Chuyi emphasized again, "My pheromones are coffee-scented, besides you, no one can accept it."

As he spoke, he got up and walked over to Pei Jingnian.

He sat down softly on his lap, wrapping one arm around his neck.

"Only you and I are meant to be."

His eyes reflected Pei Jingnian's figure.

"Want to taste it?"

He whispered.

"The aroma of coffee."

Pei Jingnian's Adam's apple bobbed, his usual rationality completely shattered at this moment.

"No... you can't be marked."

The last shred of reason brought Ke Xi's words to mind.

"It could harm your body."

Though he said this, his large hand wrapped around Song Chuyi's waist.

"I'll just hold you close."

His voice was slightly hoarse.

Song Chuyi tilted his head slightly, "Why can't I be marked? Why not?"

Isn't it natural in this world for an Alpha to mark an Omega? So why can't it be done?

"Your gland is not fully developed," Pei Jingnian explained. "If I mark you forcefully, you could get hurt."

How could he bear to hurt him? No matter how hard it was, he wouldn't mark him.

The faint bitter scent of coffee filled his senses. Pei Jingnian closed his eyes, his throat moving.

"A'Chu, just this is enough."

Just staying by his side, holding him, was enough.

After all, he wasn't one to be greedy.
