Fu Yue made three bowls of wonton noodle soup and steamed the remaining frozen dumplings left by the cooking aunty.
The other two helped him carry the dishes and set the table.
Wei Chen wordlessly went to sit down at the head of the table after pulling out the chair on the right.
He Xing was not bold enough to assume that Wei Chen did it for him so after a short pause, he went to sit on the empty seat on his left.
On the surface, He Xing didn't show any emotions but deep down he was shocked.
It was not obvious but he certainly felt it.
The subtle warning gaze and oppressive aura... Signs of an Alpha's possessiveness toward their Omega.
Among the Alphas that He Xing was acquainted with, Silence's self-control was the best. His private life was clean with no bed partner or lover to help him during his rut but he never heard Silence lose control of himself and make irrecoverable mistakes.
He Xing was a regular A and he already had a hard time during his rut period, therefore, he couldn't imagine what it was like for a Dominant A like Silence.
Due to this cognition, it was plain to everyone that Silence would rather suffer alone than get into a relationship with someone, especially Omegas.
This point also contributed to reassuring the public about the matter of TM recruiting an Omega.
That's why, it was not strange for He Xing to react in this way toward Silence's dating news.
In the meantime, Fu Yue didn't detect anything out of place. He regretfully lamented, "I shouldn't have overestimated my stomach..."
"Give them to me."
Both He Xing and Fu Yue looked up at Wei Chen in surprise.
Fu Yue couldn't believe what he had just heard and kindly reminded, "This is my leftover food, don't you mind?"
"Don't mind."
Wei Chen glanced at him and replied in a casual manner as if he didn't see anything wrong with it.
Looking at the other person nonchalantly pushing his bowl in his direction, Fu Yue suddenly felt like he was making a big deal out of nothing.
No longer feeling troubled, Fu Yue gladly transferred most of the noodles into Wei Chen's bowl. The two then went back to focus on finishing their food.
On the sideline, He Xing dumbfoundedly watched their interactions with his mouth wide open.
Since when was Silence the kind of person who voluntarily ate someone else's leftover food???
Why do I feel like a third wheel intruding on a couple's date???
Perhaps, these two were already in a relationship but haven't gone public yet?
Probably, Silence has no lover because he has always been together with Si-ge?
Right, they are the same age, childhood sweethearts?!
The more He Xing thought the further he strayed away from the truth but he had no way of knowing this and was convinced that he was right.
Recalling the previous time that he had asked Fu Yue to queue with him in front of his supposed Alpha, He Xing couldn't help but want to beat up his foolish past self.
Fortunately, he hasn't developed a crush on Si-ge, otherwise, it would be miserable to be targeted by Silence!
Being enlightened, He Xing became extremely well-behaved throughout the meal. Not long after, he took his leave after receiving Fu Yue's souvenirs for him and his teammates.
Fu Yue didn't know why but He Xing dared not meet his eyes and would only accept the gift after Wei Chen told him to.
His enthusiasm toward him also died down a lot.
"What's wrong with that kid?" While walking back to their rooms, Fu Yue asked in a puzzlement.
Wei Chen lightly replied, "He is being sensible."
Since his Captain had already said so, Fu Yue felt like it indeed seemed to be the case and praised, "Kids his age should be in a rebellious stage but he is such a good child ah!"
Listening to his old father's tone, a light smile formed on Wei Chen's handsome face without him realizing it.
"Right, I also have a gift for you."
Wei Chen's smile froze. Staring down at the not-so-big black wood gift box lying on top of that white palm, he could already tell that it was not a casual gift.
Before Wei Chen had the chance to turn down the gift, Fu Yue quickly spoke up, "Since you didn't want me to return your handkerchief, just take this in return."
Despite this, Wei Chen still seemed to have no intention of taking it, therefore, Fu Yue further urged, "Hurry up! My arm is starting to get sore!"
In the face of his complaint, Wei Chen finally relented and took the small box from his hand, "Thank you."
Watching his defeated expression, Fu Yue gave him a big dazzling smile, "Well then, have a good rest, Captain!"
Not expecting him to be this happy by simply accepting his gift, Wei Chen was dazzled by his smile.
"... You too."
Even after seeing the door was tightly closed, Wei Chen still didn't move away from his spot. His slender right hand was slowly placed on top of his left chest.
A slight tremor caused by his irregular heartbeat was then transmitted to his palm.
His long eyelashes quivered and his light blue eyes exhibited a rare glint of confusion.
... Why am I like this?
Wei Chen's eyes stilled on the black gift box. Wordlessly, he opened the cover to see what was inside.
A pair of square-shaped black gemstone cufflinks with several small blue gems imbued on the top right corner came into his view.
The design was simple but gave a sophisticated look which was in line with his aesthetic.
With just a single glance, Wei Chen immediately snapped the cover shut. His expression remained unchanged but his ears were starting to turn red. His heartbeat became even more erratic.
It was not strange to gift cufflinks but Wei Chen couldn't help but associate it with another meaning.
To cuff someone telling that he/she was already taken...
Wei Chen immediately put a stop to this absurd thought and went back into his room.
He left the gift box on the nightstand before going straight into the bathroom. However, just several seconds later, he suddenly reappeared inside the bedroom.
Grabbing the gift box, he opened the closet and unlocked the topmost drawer with a key. He then proceeded to put down the gift box alongside other important documents before relocking the drawer.
Only then did he leave to take a cold shower to calm his restless mind.
In the meantime, on the other side, Fu Yue has just finished taking a hot bath. After drying his hair, he lay on the bed intending to take a short nap.
For some reason, he felt quite languid and incredibly tired today. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
However, in his groggy state, Fu Yue suddenly felt unbearably hot and his throat was parched.
His whole body was drenched in sweat. The silk pajamas stuck to his skin which caused extreme discomfort.
Without much thought, he impatiently unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it away. Still, even after his naked upper body was exposed to the air, he was unable to get the relief that he sought.
Wetting his dry lips with his tongue, Fu Yue squeezed his legs together in an attempt to ease the discomfort brought by a certain place.
"Haah..." Low and rapid pants started to escape from his slightly parted lips as he felt himself slowly getting aroused.
Unable to hold it in anymore, he opened his eyes in a daze and reached his right hand into his pants to pull out his semi-hardened cock.
His hand slowly rubbed it up and down and white precum soon started to leak from the glans.
"Mmmm..." Fu Yue bit his lower lip and comfortably hummed. His hand didn't stop and continued to stroke his cock with increased strength and speed.
Wave after wave of mind-numbing pleasure repeatedly washed over making him shudder. His breathing became more and more rapid. It didn't take long before a strong familiar pleasure hit him causing his soft moan to become a high-pitch tone.
"Mmm... Ahhh...ah!"
His toes curled and his back was slightly arched as he ejaculated uncontrollably.
Fu Yue lay limp on the bed with milky white cum spilled all over his chest and abdomen but he could be careless about his current embarrassing state.
With half-lidded eyes, he panted heavily to catch his breath causing his chest to move up and down erotically.
He thought that he should have felt better after shooting once but to his dismay, the feeling of wanting to have sexual intercourse only heightened.
His cock was hard once again and Fu Yue could sense an unbearable itch coming from a certain unspeakable place which made him at a loss.
It was as if... He wanted something big and hard to ram into him...
Fu Yue was mortified at this thought. Gritting his teeth, he ignored that feeling and continued taking care of the front.
Unfortunately, this time no matter how hard he rubbed he was unable to climax. Even his right hand was starting to get sore and he who didn't want to overwork his hand ultimately stopped.
Fu Yue frustratingly lay on his stomach and buried his face into the pillow trying hard to restrain himself.
As time passed his fever worsened and the idea of wanting to be drilled by something was driving him crazy.
Just as he was about to resign himself to touch his behind, a cool and clean scent appeared out of nowhere and gently enveloped him.
In his muddle-headed state, he couldn't recall where he had smelt this scent but it was extremely familiar making him feel safe and comfortable.
Soon, Fu Yue could feel the bed sink and someone climbed on top of him.
Normally, he should have been alerted and attacked this unknown person but at this moment, all he could think was that the closer he was to this person the stronger the scent was and as a result, he didn't struggle.
The other person gently brushed his sweat-soaked hair to the side exposing his nape. Their cool fingertips inadvertently grazed his skin causing Fu Yue to tremble all over.
Witnessing his reaction, the other person slowly leaned down resting his chin on his shoulder. They then whispered in a deep voice right next to his ear.
"Do you like my pheromones that much?"
Feeling good, Fu Yue softly hummed in response.
The man was pleased and gave a low chuckle, "Only my pheromones?"
Right as the man put down this question, he suddenly pressed down his lower body and grinded his crotch against Fu Yue's upturned buttocks.
"Mm ahh~" Fu Yue couldn't help but shiver when a certain big and hard object was strongly pressed and rubbed against his butt.
He knew that he should be repulsed by this situation but his body reacted differently.
He could feel the excitement and anticipation at the thought of having that thing shoved into him. This idea was so strong that Fu Yue felt that it should be fine to give in to his carnal desire.
"I... Haah... Like it..."
The man started to lick his earlobe and pretended not to understand him, "Like what? Hmm?"
At the same time, his pheromones became even more concentrated and the scent was full of undisguised lust. The initial comforting smell of winter mixing with a woody scent suddenly became ambiguous and sensual.
Fu Yue's head was dizzy due to the man's enticing pheromones. He was aroused beyond words and could no longer control what he was saying, "Ahhh... I like your big cock ah give it to me quickly!"
The man's voice became extremely hoarse after hearing his obscene words. The tip of his nose traced the side of his neck and slowly moved to his pale nape. His hot breaths sprayed over his sensitive gland, "Yueyue... Say my name."
"Ahhh...! Wei... Chen~"
Fu Yue flung his eyes open and the familiar white ceiling immediately came into view. It took him several seconds to confirm that the previous episode was a dream.
A wet dream to be exact.
His mind instantly exploded and he covered his burning face in shame.
Just why do I have to dream of him?! Why?!
Aren't you embarrassed about saying not interested in him but still proceeding to have a wet dream about him in the next second?!
How do I face him later on?!
After screaming and drowning in shame for what seemed to be an eternity, Fu Yue finally calmed down.
Judging by his abnormal reaction, he figured out that his heat had just arrived. It was not that he forgot his heat cycle but it was not supposed to arrive this early.
Earlier on when he had just arrived at the base, Fu Yue experienced his first heat. Other than a slight fever and feeling particularly horny, it was not bad after he took the inhibitor.
The next heat should be around one month later which was why he didn't think much of this fever and dismissed it as cold.
After taking the inhibitor, Fu Yue sent a text to Wei Chen informing the latter that he wouldn't be coming down for dinner.
Unexpectedly, not long after the text was read, his door was knocked and Wei Chen's worried voice was carried over, "Fu Yue, are you sick?"
Suddenly hearing the real voice, Fu Yue was reminded of the dream yet again, and his face uncontrollably heated up.
With a sense of shame and guilt, he weakly replied, "... Nothing grave. It will go away after taking the medicine."
Just as he thought that the other person would go away with this excuse, Wei Chen's voice suddenly turned solemn, "Why aren't you opening the door?"
Fu Yue: "..." Because I just had a wet dream about you?
Afraid that Wei Chen might go to grab a spare key and force open the door, Fu Yue hastily spoke the truth, "My heat has just arrived."
Only at this did Wei Chen finally understand the situation. After a moment of silence, he lightly coughed, "... Call if you need me."
Fu Yue: "..." Captain, don't say such misleading words in this situation.
Wei Chen also realized that his words sounded a bit wrong so he added, "I will put the meals in front of your door then."
"... I will trouble you then, Captain."
True to his words, Wei Chen brought him meals together with some snacks and drinks to store in the small fridge in his room.
Looking down at these small delicious-looking cakes and his favorite Boba tea, it was not hard to tell that Wei Chen took the trouble to go out and bought them for him.
Fu Yue wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
His Captain is such a nice man, why the hell did he make him out to be such a bad guy in his dream?!
He deserves to be beaten ah!
