Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 15

“Shen Qing, I hope you have some self-awareness. You are merely my best friend.”

“If you do not understand how to be a friend, then we can only be strangers.”

“Do not treat our past friendship as capital to manipulate me. It makes me feel disgusted.”

“The person I love has never been you.”

In the dream, time stretched across a vast span. In the blink of an eye, the two of them went from being inseparable to becoming total strangers.

Between these moments, there were occasional fragments concerning his Omega pheromones.

Unlike other Omegas, his development had been delayed, and his condition was not as healthy as others. The final medical results confirmed as much.

He was a defective Omega.

The cruel words in the dream made him instinctively want to escape. Yet, for some reason, his body felt as if it were bound by something, rendering him unable to move or struggle.

Finally, drenched in a feverish sweat, Shen Qing jolted awake from the nightmare.

His chest heaved violently. He took several deep breaths, and his emotions gradually steadied. However, he soon noticed that something was wrong.

The inability to move in his dream did not seem to be purely part of the dream itself.

He turned his head in shock, and in the next second, his eyes widened.

“Lu Shijun?”

A small gasp escaped his lips. Lu Shijun had not yet woken up, but the sound near his ear made him instinctively pull the person in his arms even tighter.

Then, he mumbled incoherently, “Qingqing, sleep a little longer. I am so tired.”

How could he possibly sleep now?

Shen Qing was completely awake. Although he loved the man, he was also on guard.

He was hiding such a massive secret, and yet Lu Shijun was lying right beside him. This was practically a horror movie!

Especially now, in the early morning. He was a normal male. If Lu Shijun discovered his physical reaction toward him, it would be a disaster.

Sweat began to bead on Shen Qing’s forehead.

Fear and worry drove him to take a shocking action.

He raised his foot and, with all his might, kicked the man right off the bed.

With a heavy thud, the warmth of the bedroom was shattered.

Lu Shijun finally opened his deep, dark eyes. He remained lying on the floor, in no hurry to get up, and simply looked at Shen Qing on the bed with a piteous expression.

“Qingqing, how heartless of you.”

Shen Qing’s cheeks were flushed. He reached out a trembling finger to point at him. “You, who allowed you to sleep in my bed?”

Lu Shijun’s eyes darkened, and he licked his thin lips. He looked obsessively at the crimson on Shen Qing’s face, unable to tell if his friend was angry or just flustered.

It did not matter. Either way, he looked beautiful.

“Did you not agree to it?”

Even now, he was still playing word games.

As his memories began to return, Shen Qing remembered their argument from the previous night. Recalling the image of the man leaving and his own panicked state, his frantic expression gradually calmed.

“Even if I agreed, I have always intended for you to sleep in the study, not in my bedroom.”

Lu Shijun continued to lie boldly on the floor. He was not wearing a shirt, and having trained for years, his body radiated power.

Shen Qing looked at his muscles. Although they were not exaggerated, he knew Lu Shijun’s physique was not built by eating protein powder in a gym. A single punch from this guy could kill someone.

He silently withdrew his gaze, afraid that looking too long would arouse the other’s suspicion.

“Can you please put on some clothes?” He rubbed his temples. The continuous nightmares over the past two days had prevented him from resting well. The redness on his face faded, revealing his original pale complexion.

Lu Shijun, however, understood nothing of boundaries or etiquette. He stared at Shen Qing wantonly and felt unhappy when he saw him look away.

“Qingqing, that kick really hurt.”

It was a total lack of communication!

Shen Qing asked him to dress, yet he complained about the pain.

“It should hurt!” Shen Qing snapped. With the person he secretly loved lying half-naked in his bedroom, he would have to be physically ill to have no reaction. Because of this, he had to clutch the quilt tightly, fearing someone would notice his predicament.

Unfortunately, Lu Shijun acted as though he did not notice the distance and began to play a role.

“Qingqing, did you kick me because I made you angry last night?”

“Qingqing, if a kick can make you feel better, then kick me again.”

After saying that, he lay even more rigidly on the floor.

Shen Qing’s head throbbed. “I do not have violent tendencies!”

With that flamboyant face of his, Lu Shijun forced himself to adopt a weak, pitiful tone. “Then what must I do for you to forgive me? I already bought the white peaches. But that was for the you from last night who wanted to eat them. The time has passed.”

Shen Qing did not hear much of what followed.

His mind was filled with the fact that he had bought the white peaches.

The two of them had been at odds last night over those peaches, neither willing to back down.

“You bought the white peaches?”

His voice was very soft, but Lu Shijun still heard it.

Lu Shijun sat up from the floor. He did not dare go over immediately and simply gazed at Shen Qing. “I bought them. A whole bag.”

Shen Qing opened his mouth, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.

Lu Shijun admitted his fault immediately. “Qingqing, I lost control last night. It was my fault. I was acting crazy. Please do not be angry.”

“I am not angry.”

Shen Qing was not lying. From beginning to end, he had not been angry. Asking for the white peaches had only been a test.

It was just that the result had made him very sad.

Lu Shijun did not believe him at all. His friend had never argued with him like that before. If that was not being angry, then what was?

But pursuing whether he was angry or not was meaningless now. What he needed to do was solve the problem.

“The white peaches are not at fault, and neither are you, Qingqing.”

These words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples. Shen Qing looked over sharply.

He saw Lu Shijun with a grim face, his voice cold. “It is all the fault of that damn Omega! He is the one who caused me to lose control! He is the one who made us argue. It is all his fault!”

Shen Qing was stunned.

Lu Shijun continued his tirade. “That damn slut might have run away today, but he cannot hide forever. Once I find him.” He originally wanted to say something even more extreme, but remembering his friend was right there, he swallowed his murderous words. He only said viciously, “I will definitely not let him off!”

Shen Qing was speechless.

“Lu Shijun, you need to get up and go to work.”

He did not want to discuss this issue anymore. It was pointless.

However, there was one thing he had to state seriously.

“If you ever crawl into my bed again, I will not be polite to you!”

The moment he said this, Lu Shijun looked like a defeated rooster, drooping his head in disappointment. “Why, Qingqing? We were not like this before.”

Shen Qing replied, “We have always been like this.”

Lu Shijun tried to distort the facts. He hated the distance Shen Qing put between them. Sharing a bed was the only way to prove their relationship was close, so why did Qingqing always resist?

Could it be?

“Is it still because you find me dirty?”

“I see. You are still angry. As I thought, all that talk of forgiveness was fake.”

“Just because of that night, you think I am dirty, and you want to draw a clear line between us.”
