Chapter 40 In the Office / I Want to Mark You
The overwhelming scent of rosemary immediately plunged Shen Zhuo into a soft, fluffy cloud.
【I want to kiss.】
Shen Zhuo's entire body relaxed, and the previous fatigue was swept away.
But the expected kiss didn't fall.
He felt the alpha had already released him.
?
Not going to kiss?
"Du Xun," the young man pulled him.
"Hmm?"
"I won." The little omega lifted his chin, "I'm first."
Du Xun couldn't help but smile and pat his hair:
"I know, I saw it, you were really amazing."
"So,"
Shen Zhuo raised his hand and pulled on Du Xun's tie, leaning back towards the wall behind him.
His back pressed against the wall.
The man braced his hand on one side, encircling the young man in the cramped, narrow shadow.
Shen Zhuo only needed to raise his head slightly, and his lips could touch the alpha's descending nose.
"Don't I get a reward?"
The young man's voice was soft, his petal-like pink lips lightly brushing against the man's mouth.
The light tickling tugged at the man's loosened heartstrings.
A passionate kiss fell.
Chasing, entwining.
Lifting the little omega with one hand, kissing him, walking to the desk behind.
Documents were swept to the floor.
The air was filled with an ambiguous flow.
Du Xun gently caressed the young man's gland at the back of his neck with his fingertips.
"I want," the man finally whispered his wish, "to mark you."
After a moment, only the little omega's sigh was heard.
Du Xun felt panicked inside.
Before he could say anything, he saw the young man directly turn his body sideways, offering the delicate gland to him.
"I don't know what you're worried about, Du Xun."
"Are you worried that I don't like you now, or that I'm unwilling?"
Shen Zhuo glanced sideways, his long lashes framing his clear, glistening eyes.
Like the surface of a lake in early spring.
Cold and calm, yet able to ripple.
"I like being close to you, whether it's kissing, hugging, marking, or... anything else."
The young man moved the hair at the back of his neck to the side.
Smiling sincerely at the man:
"I'm falling for you."
***
The mechanical ticking of the clock in the office passed.
The summer's hot wind was sealed out.
Rosemary and lotus, two vastly different scents.
Blending and intertwining here, complementing each other.
Love is cautious.
It is to hope that he is safe and happy, no matter what.
Du Xun cherished this moment immensely.
【This time... even if just once.】
Shen Zhuo didn't understand, what one time?
The same as the previous voices he had heard.
He suddenly felt that.
Du Xun was hiding something from him.
——
Du Xun's lunch was no different from that of an ordinary military school teacher.
Shen Zhuo's black choker was back on his neck.
While eating, he saw a piece of beef being transferred to his bowl.
Shen Zhuo naturally picked it up and put it in his mouth, only casually asking after finishing it:
"Is there something you haven't told me?"
Du Xun paused.
Shen Zhuo clearly saw his body hesitate.
"No." These two words were very firm.
Shen Zhuo was not the type to ask many questions.
Since Du Xun didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't be the kind of annoying omega to keep probing.
"I won't inquire about things you don't want to tell me."
"But I hope you won't shoulder them alone."
Shen Zhuo suddenly took out a red book from his pocket and said seriously:
"I have an obligation to share the burden with you."
Du Xun was amused and laughed.
The man was usually cold and aloof to the outside world, but he smiled much more frequently in front of Shen Zhuo.
So only the young man knew that when this alpha smiled, he was even more charming than when he was icy.
"Okay, I understand, if there's anything in the future, I'll tell you."
Du Xun selected another piece of fatty red-braised meat with more lean meat and handed it to the young man's bowl:
"For now, there's nothing."
"Oh..." Shen Zhuo suddenly thought of the long-haired alpha just now, "Do you know who he is?"
"What's wrong?"
Du Xun continued to peel the shrimp one by one and place them neatly in front of Shen Zhuo, as if he had done it countless times before.
"He said he knows me, but..."
Shen Zhuo considered his wording:
"I feel like I've seen him before, but I can't remember."
Du Xun's hand paused for a moment: "He's dangerous, don't have too much contact with him."
Du Xun's manner clearly showed that he knew something.
But Shen Zhuo's Listening heart didn't pick up any useful information.
"Is it related to that gland trafficking organization?"
Shen Zhuo put down his chopsticks and waited quietly for the man to answer.
Du Xun's hand movements slowed as he continued, until the last shrimp was placed in Shen Zhuo's bowl, then he lowered his gaze and spoke:
"Sometimes, I wish you could be a little more stupid."
Shen Zhuo didn't understand the meaning of Du Xun's words.
"He has a whitewashed identity that allowed him to enter the military academy, and there is currently no clear evidence pointing to him, nor is his motive clear. He disappeared after the non-elimination ranking."
Du Xun only said this much, then quickly changed the subject:
"Leave the rest to me, the gland level test is this afternoon, are you nervous?"
With Du Xun there, he really didn't need to worry about anything.
"Not nervous."
After finishing the last shrimp, Shen Zhuo opened his phone, propping his chin.
After his performance the past two days, there were far fewer people cursing him.
Sure enough, the wind had changed direction.
The fire was starting to die down.
"When the gland level test results come out," the young man's smile was ice-cold, "that will be the time for those clowns to show their true colors."
The gland level test had people draw numbers to enter the testing room in descending order.
Coincidentally, Shen Zhuo was the last one.
Ai Li was standing next to him, chewing hard on soft candy, gritting his teeth:
"He won't give me his phone number, how vexing, is my charm that poor?"
Shen Zhuo turned his head to look at this childhood friend.
Ai Li's appearance could definitely rank in the top five among all the omegas in the empire, he had been a beauty since he was young.
Shen Zhuo: "Have you given up?"
Ai Li: "No way!"
Shen Zhuo: "Then what about your stinky tofu?"
Ai Li: "He's chasing me, ugh, what use is a six-pack photo! I'm planning to tell him I don't want to date when we meet after the exam."
Shen Zhuo: ......
You'd better do that.
During the conversation, Shen Zhuo felt a burning gaze constantly coming from behind.
He turned his head to look back and saw Xun Qing staring at him intently.
Like he wanted to swallow and devour him alive.
"Number 6, Ai Li."
Ai Li immediately stood up and winked at Shen Zhuo: "Then I'm going."
Five minutes later, an officer hurriedly entered the testing room.
Shen Zhuo's palms were slightly sweaty.
Something went wrong?
Two minutes later, Ai Li was led out, surrounded by a group, holding his test results, still a bit dazed.
At this time, the big screen displayed the gland level levels.
[Ai Li, 18 years old, Korla Fragrant Pear scent]
[gland level Level: S1]
"Shen Zhuo..." Ai Li's eyes were a bit red.
"Congratulations." Shen Zhuo sighed in relief and hugged him, patting his back.
Ai Li was taken away by the military, all the S-rank candidates would be arranged with special attention.
Shen Zhuo continued to wait, and a few people later the one who went in was Xun Qing.
[Xun Qing, 19 years old, Dance Lotus scent]
[gland level Level: A1]
Shen Zhuo finally saw this information, not much different from what he had seen in the previous script.
Xun Qing came out of the testing room, his gaze towards Shen Zhuo seeming even colder.
No need to listen, he could see the thoughts on his face.
"Number 1, Shen Zhuo."
The young man stood up amidst everyone's attention, ignoring all the friendly or unfriendly gazes, and entered the testing room.
The examiner in the testing room was an elder, smiling warmly and letting Shen Zhuo enter a room with three metal-sealed sides and one explosion-proof glass.
"Just release your scent freely." The examiner said kindly.
Shen Zhuo closed his eyes and removed the isolator.
The lotus scent instantly filled the space.
The detector immediately soared to A3.
And then, almost instantly, it broke through.
The examiner's expression was both surprised and delighted.
This batch had three S-rank omegas and six S-rank alphas, which was considered the best result in nearly a decade.
But the test display was still rising.
S1
S2
S3
The examiner's smile was starting to falter.
There was only pure shock.
There has only ever been one S4 rank omega in the history of the empire.
Could a miracle be about to happen?!
Suddenly, a "click" sound rang out.
A crack appeared in the explosion-proof glass.
