Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 25

Lu Shijun had taken a cold shower, and his body still carried a chill. When he lunged over, the cold moisture made Shen Qing shiver slightly.

Shen Qing was still immersed in that absurd yet realistic dream.

At the end of the dream, Lu Shijun affectionately held an Omega whose face was blurred. Meanwhile, because his own actions had been exposed, Shen Qing sat slumped on the ground as a look of deep disgust looked down upon him.

Shen Qing woke up with a start.

Lu Shijun’s gaze had pierced his heart like a knife. The dull pain churning in his chest made it impossible to distinguish reality from the dream.

Consequently, he instinctively resisted the Alpha’s approach and tried to push him away.

An Omega’s strength was no match for an Alpha’s, and Shen Qing did not use all his might. However, his resistance was so obvious that, in that instant, Lu Shijun instinctively pinned him down.

His lean arms tensed with effort, revealing wild, muscular lines.

“Xiao Qing?” A hurt voice sounded. Lu Shijun, a wild beast on the verge of eruption, forced himself to act like a weak lamb. He buried his head against Shen Qing and said piteously, “What is wrong? Why are you pushing me away so early in the morning? Did I do something wrong?”

The man’s head rubbed against his leg. Shen Qing’s skin broke into goosebumps, and he felt entirely uncomfortable.

“Get up first.”

His scattered consciousness finally returned. Shen Qing was full of panic, and his hands pushed harder.

Lu Shijun began to act shamelessly. “I will not get up. If you do not tell me, I will not get up.”

Shen Qing was so frazzled by the antics that he felt like he was exploding. Indeed, it was not just his mind that felt ready to burst; everything else felt just as chaotic.

The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Even the person playing the rogue froze.

Shen Qing did not dare to look at his expression. Thinking of how the man had vomited in disgust after seeing certain things recently, Shen Qing suddenly pushed him away. Like a coward, he rushed into the bathroom and hid.

Lu Shijun was pushed so hard that he fell to the floor. He stared blankly as Shen Qing ran away, his mind a total void.

However, he stood up quickly.

He did not feel any disgust or nausea. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Xiao Qing?”

He followed to the bathroom door. Looking at the locked door, his feet were tempted to kick it open. But thinking that the person inside was not just anyone but Shen Qing, he forced himself to endure.

“Xiao Qing, open the door.” He knocked politely, like a big bad wolf coaxing a little white rabbit. His voice was gentle and deep. “Qingqing, we are both men. Why are you running?”

Hiding in the bathroom, Shen Qing was worried about more than just the awkward scene; he was also thinking about the bite mark on the back of his neck.

After a few days, the bite mark had faded slightly, but compared to the bruises on his body, the bite was much more severe than the fingerprint bruises.

A few bruises were enough to make Lu Shijun go crazy. He did not dare to imagine what would happen if the bite mark were discovered.

Before covering it, he washed his face with cold water to calm down. Then, he began to apply concealer.

His technique was clumsy and very unpracticed. Meanwhile, Lu Shijun blocked the doorway, knocking occasionally and never leaving.

“Xiao Qing?”

“Qingqing.”

“Do you want to keep hiding? How long are you going to hide?”

“You have to come out and face me eventually. If you do not say anything, I will have to come in myself.”

“I am counting to three.”

Shen Qing’s hair had grown a bit longer. Combined with the concealer, he finally managed to hide the secret on his neck. Hearing Lu Shijun’s countdown, he hurriedly threw the concealer into the cabinet. Just as the cabinet door closed, the man suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Shen Qing was stunned. “Where was your countdown?”

Lu Shijun was still wearing his bathrobe and holding a key. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Oh. Three. Time is up.”

Shen Qing asked, “Where did you get the key?”

Come to think of it, he had forgotten where he had tossed the key to the door lock. Since he lived alone, he had never thought he would need to lock a door in his own home.

Lu Shijun was honest. “I have all your keys.”

Shen Qing was speechless. It turned out that the keys he could not find had all ended up in the man’s pocket.

“Are you a junk collector? Why do you have to take everything?”

Lu Shijun chuckled and tucked the key away as if it were a treasure. “How can your things be called junk?”

Shen Qing felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples. Starting the morning with such chaos was far too stimulating. As a man in his late twenties, he felt he could hardly handle it.

“Alright, go change your clothes and wash up. It is almost time. After breakfast, we have to go to work.”

Even though Lu Shijun was the president, even a president had to start work at eight in the morning!

The morning passed without further incident. After Lu Shijun’s antics, Shen Qing had almost forgotten about the dream.

However, on the way to work, while he was drinking milk, Lu Shijun suddenly spoke.

“Qingqing, I suddenly thought of something.”

Shen Qing, who had already composed his emotions, replied calmly while sipping his milk. “What is it?”

Lu Shijun said, “Back in the day when using the restroom, I saw those guys comparing sizes. They even said that among good brothers, whoever is bigger is the older brother.”

He spoke solemnly, as if discussing a very important matter.

Shen Qing turned his head stiffly, his face full of disbelief. Yet the other man did not notice the problem and continued.

“Qingqing, the two of us have never compared.”

Shen Qing sprayed a mouthful of milk everywhere and immediately began to cough from choking.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

He coughed violently. Lu Shijun was sprayed in the face with milk, but he did not get angry. He even stuck out his tongue to lick the milk from his lips before commenting, “Today’s milk is quite fresh. Not bad. We will keep ordering from this place.”

Shen Qing, who was already choking, almost went crazy.

Because of his parents, this fellow’s approach to emotions was different from normal people. Friendship, family, and love were all a muddle to him. However, amidst the confusion, he had kicked love out.

Wait, that was not right; he had temporarily kicked love out.

Shen Qing did not doubt the friendship between them, but now it had clearly become distorted. If the events in the dream were true, he reasonably suspected that he had mistakenly treated the man’s distorted friendship as love, leading to one mistake after another.

Lu Shijun was not at fault; it was Shen Qing himself who could not distinguish the two.

Once Shen Qing had temporarily figured this out, he took a tissue to wipe the milk off the man’s face and tried to guide him correctly. “Lu Shijun, that is something only children play at. You have been an adult for many years. A proper adult should know that some things are meant only for oneself and one’s partner to see.”

He tried to straighten out the man’s feelings, such as how to treat friends and especially how to treat a partner. But the current Lu Shijun would not listen at all.

“A partner?” He scoffed. “Are you talking about a spouse, Xiao Qing? Even if you have a marriage certificate, it does not mean anything.”

He had always looked down on love and marriage. But thinking that the person beside him now was Shen Qing, his mood began to improve.

“But you are different. Our bond is not something a mere piece of paper can compare to.”

“We are the people who will be together for a lifetime.”
