Chapter 11: Is It Excessively Cute?

When Xu Jingchu woke up, he felt as if he were soaking in a gentle ocean, warm in a way that made him incredibly peaceful and reluctant to leave. Filling his nose was a familiar and comfortable scent. He subconsciously nuzzled into the soft pillow, but in the next instant, his eyes snapped open.

Above him was an unfamiliar ceiling and an exquisite, expensive European-style crystal chandelier.

Where… was he?

Xu Jingchu’s mind slowed for two seconds before he sluggishly sat up. The memories from before he fainted gradually trickled back.

It was Sunday, and he was working at the art studio, and then… Huo Yan came to find him, and right after… Huo Yan wasn’t feeling well, so they went into the restroom…

Later, he… seemed to have been bitten by Huo Yan?

Xu Jingchu reached up to touch the back of his neck and, sure enough, he felt tooth marks that hadn’t healed yet. The stinging pain made him frown, and at the same time, he was somewhat bewildered.

Why did Huo Yan bite him?

Remembering the scene before he lost consciousness, where the other man had pressed him against the sink, the gland on the back of his neck felt faintly hot.

This feeling was utterly foreign.

Xu Jingchu didn’t dare to touch it with his hand, fearing the pain. Instead, he tilted his head to scan his surroundings.

This was a man’s bedroom, generally decorated in cool tones. The bedding and the blackout curtains that blocked the sunlight were all dark green, uniform and exuding a sense of coldness. There were no decorations in the room; the large bed in the center looked as if it had been temporarily stuffed in.

This was clearly not a bedroom that was frequently visited.

Xu Jingchu shifted his buttocks and found that the area beneath the bed was empty; there were no shoes.

Because he had been bedridden all year round in his past life, he really disliked walking barefoot on the floor. After a moment of hesitation, the two legs dangling by the bedside were slowly withdrawn back onto the bed.

The air was permeated with a familiar, faint fragrance.

Xu Jingchu gently sniffed his nose. The familiar scent was inhaled into his body, and all the pores over his body opened up in pleasure.

He remembered this was the smell from Huo Yan’s body, so… this was Huo Yan’s room?

Thinking of that tall, handsome man, an inexplicable feeling welled up in Xu Jingchu’s heart. He… had an impulse to immediately throw himself into the other’s arms.

At this moment, he didn’t understand that this was an innate dependence of an Omega towards the Alpha who had marked them.

“Click—” The room door was opened from the outside.

Xu Jingchu followed the sound and looked over.

The sunlight from outside stole into the room along with the opening door. The handsome man just so happened to walk in with his back to the light.

Different.

This was Xu Jingchu’s first thought.

Before he fainted, the man was wearing a deep blue suit, elegant and steady but somewhat stiff. But now, the man was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, the sleeves rolled up twice, revealing a segment of powerful arm. The hem was loosely tucked into his waistband. Black casual trousers wrapped around two long, straight legs. While walking, the curvaceous line of his buttocks was displayed in full view.

It was a very simple outfit, but it perfectly displayed the elegance and sense of abstinence on the man.

Xu Jingchu subconsciously held his breath, staring blankly as the other man gradually approached, his heartbeat speeding up one beat at a time.

“Woken up?” The man’s handsome face suddenly drew close. His fingertip intimately rubbed the tip of [Xu Jingchu’s] nose, his voice warm and deep, “Does it still hurt?”

Xu Jingchu blinked slowly, “Wha… t?”

Seeing his somewhat stunned look, a bit of amusement colored the depths of Huo Yan’s eyes. “Are you hungry?”

Just as the words left his mouth, Xu Jingchu’s stomach started rumbling. He subconsciously clutched his stomach, his cheeks growing hot.

Huo Yan gave a low chuckle. His powerful arm passed through [Xu Jingchu’s] knee bends, and with Xu Jingchu looking dazed, he scooped the person up in a horizontal carry.

His body suddenly became suspended in the air, so Xu Jingchu subconsciously hugged the man’s neck, his face growing even hotter.

“You… where are you hugging and carrying me to?”

Huo Yan lowered his gaze to stare at his pinkish cheeks. “You don’t like me hugging you?”

Xu Jingchu subconsciously blurted out, “No.”

“Mmh, so you like it.”

The man’s voice was also tinted with laughter. When he spoke, his chest vibrated slightly. The temperature on Xu Jingchu’s face continued to rise, and for a moment, he forgot to reply.

Huo Yan strode down the spiral staircase and asked the person in his arms, “Are you being shy?”

“I’m not…” The words had just left Xu Jingchu’s mouth when he paused. If he were to speak carefully, he seemed to… be?

For some reason, he always felt that the current Huo Yan was somewhat different from before. He couldn’t help but want to get close to the other man.

Xu Jingchu was stunned by his own thought. For a moment, with both hands hugging the other’s neck, he suddenly didn’t know whether he should continue hugging or not.

While talking, they arrived at the living room on the first floor.

Huo Yan placed him on the sofa, leaning down slightly to be at eye level with him. His voice was deep, “Chu-chu, you weren’t shy at noon.”

Xu Jingchu was confused, “What?” What noon? Why would he need to be shy at noon?

However, Huo Yan shifted the topic, “You don’t like going barefoot on the ground?”

Xu Jingchu’s attention was instantly shifted. Looking at his bare little feet, he felt an awkwardness of being seen through, and a bit of inexpressible bashfulness.

The man turned around and took a pair of brand-new slippers from the shoe rack by the doorway, placing them at his feet. “See if they fit?”

This was what he had personally picked out just now and then had Secretary Shen send over.

Xu Jingchu looked at the slippers with two pink bunny ears swinging. His crystalline toes couldn’t help but curl up.

This pair of slippers… wasn’t it excessively cute?
