After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories Chapter 59

Chapter 59

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

Although the person not far away wore a mask and was tightly wrapped, Rong Qiu still recognized who the person was.

The snow outside had stopped, and the wind was howling.

Rong Qiu stood still. He watched as the man in a long down jacket approached him step by step, like a black wolf walking towards him in the white snowfield. The fur was smooth, fierce, and strong. The black wolf stopped a little closer to Rong Qiu than before, but still within Rong Qiu’s tolerance range.

However, while people needed to bow to wolves, Rong Qiu still needed to hold his head up to Qin Muye.

Rong Qiu’s neck moved, and his gaze couldn’t help but scrutinize Qin Muye. Why was this person wearing the same style of down jacket as himself, with even the logo on the chest exactly the same? What puzzled him even more was that although it was the same style of down jacket, it barely reached Qin Muye’s ankles, while on him, it already covered his ankles.

The toes in Rong Qiu’s thick boots couldn’t help but move.

Not only that, but he also had to raise his head to meet Qin Muye’s eyes.

As his gaze lifted, he found that the man in front of him had been staring at him intently. Qin Muye’s pupils were very black, as black as ancient ink that had written countless words, unknown what they had written or what he was thinking. They were like a pool of water that could attract one’s soul, quietly lurking, but once encountering prey, they could instantly draw them in.

But the prey was the previous Rong Qiu, who used to chase after Qin Muye like a happy little dog.

He would wag his tail at the slightest sweetness.

Not anymore.

Rong Qiu put his hands in his sleeves and took a step back without a trace, his expression returning to cold indifference. Naturally, Rong Qiu didn’t believe that Qin Muye had any friends in this community. His intuition told him that Qin Muye had come to find him.

Sure enough.

After asking the alpha what he wanted, the tall and burly man took off his mask, revealing his handsome face as sharp as a knife. Now Rong Qiu could see Qin Muye’s expression more clearly. The face, which couldn’t contain anything except ice, now restrained the violent force, filled with worry.

“The snow is too heavy. I’m worried about you.”

The Alpha’s lips moved, saying something Rong Qiu couldn’t understand, mixed with an undeniable affection.

Huh?

This alpha said he was worried about himself.

After shaking his head, Rong Qiu looked at him seriously.

“I’m fine. You don’t need to come.”

It would be better not to meet again. Every time he saw him, he felt restless.

“Qiuqiu, I just want to know if you’re feeling better from your cold. Do you have a fever?”

The Alpha took a step forward and reached out his hand, as if trying to test Rong Qiu’s forehead temperature.

“Don’t come over.”

This time, Rong Qiu stepped back further, hitting his calves and back knees on the snowdrift behind him. The snowdrift had been compacted tightly and was quite thick due to being processed by the snowplow. Rong Qiu’s movement backward was quite significant, akin to actively hitting a large iron block.

Rong Qiu let out a soft hiss.

But no matter what Rong Qiu said, Qin Muye remained silent, seemingly enduring great pain and regret. The tall alpha was like a giant elm, firmly standing in front of Rong Qiu. Rong Qiu couldn’t get past him, and he wanted to hit him but was afraid of hurting his own hand.

Since reasoning wasn’t working, Rong Qiu decided not to say anything more and turned to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, his wrist was restrained by someone.

The black down jacket he wore had a good texture and was quite fluffy, but because it was too fluffy, Rong Qiu could clearly feel the man gripping his wrist. It felt like being clamped by a large metal clamp, and Rong Qiu’s attempt to step away was thwarted by him.

Rong Qiu was already quite impatient.

He turned his head and looked at the big hand deeply embedded in his black down jacket, his eyelashes fluttering angrily because of anger and indignation, exuding a different kind of charm.

“Let go.”

Qin Muye didn’t release his hand because he knew very well that once he let go, Rong Qiu would immediately disappear from his sight.

He forcefully pressed his hat onto Rong Qiu’s head, ignoring Rong Qiu’s struggles. He held onto the wrist, forcibly turning the person around and walking forward numbly.

No matter what Rong Qiu said, he turned a deaf ear.

Moreover, the man’s strength was great, and Rong Qiu realized that he hadn’t even used his grappling techniques yet, but his hand bones would be broken by alpha as soon as he did.

The fifty-centimeter snow path was particularly crowded with two people walking. Their down jackets brushed against the snow, making a “rustling” sound. When they reached a fallen tree, Qin Muye finally stopped. This tree was the one that fell on the young couple on the first day of heavy snow.

Now only half of the rugged stump remained, with the crown of the tree lying on top, covered with a thick layer of snow.

Qin Muye stopped here, and Rong Qiu coldly watched as Qin Muye bent down ninety degrees, still not letting go of his hand. The proud alpha searched for a long time before digging out a huge thermal food bag from the snowdrift.

On such days, burying things in the snow was easier to keep warm than leaving them outside.

With one hand, he patted off the remaining snow from the thermal bag, and Qin Muye reluctantly picked up the food box in his hand and handed it to Rong Qiu.

“Take it back and eat.”

“What’s going on?” Rong Qin’s tone was not very friendly. 

“It’s hard to cook without electricity. It’s not good to always eat instant food at home.” 

Qin Muye now saw Rong Qiu through a filter, no matter when he saw him, he felt he had gotten thinner. 

Even his jaw had become pointed. 

It must be because he hadn’t eaten well for these three days. 

Qin Muye stared at his jawline, which hadn’t changed significantly, and raised the insulated food bag in his hand again. His deeply set eyes were accentuated by the white snow behind him, giving a sense of distance. “I’m here today without any official business, just to bring you a meal. There’s chicken, duck, fish, and soup inside. Since you’re still sick with a cold, you need to nourish yourself properly.”

“If I don’t accept it?”

Qin Muye’s eyes pained.

Rong Qiu’s expression was listless, his long eyelashes drooping. “I’ve said we’d better not see each other again. Commander Qin, with such a clever brain, can’t you understand my words? Moreover, I don’t need Commander Qin’s concern. Our only connection is the profit sharing at the research institute. Besides that, your every appearance is a disturbance to me.”

Rong Qiu’s words were like stabbing Qin Muye’s heart with a knife.

Qin Muye’s face was completely filled with sorrow now, his voice even had a hint of lament, “But Qiuqiu, I hope you can forgive me. Even if we can’t become friends, don’t let us become enemies.”

Every time Rong Qiu stared at him with those wolf-like eyes, his heart twisted with unbearable pain.

He always thought that facing the Rong Qiu whose memories had been erased before, being just a stand-in for the beta Qin Ye, was enough to make him sad. Now, seeing the Rong Qiu who had completely closed off his heart to him, he felt powerless and lost because he couldn’t break through Rong Qiu’s defenses.

But in Rong Qiu’s heart, it was really ridiculous for this man to say such things.

A person had deeply stabbed his heart with a knife, and even after five years, the emptiness in his heart still existed. Every beat of his heart reminded him of the pain he had suffered.

He had been deceived and played as a bed partner for over a year. He had thought that the reason why their sweet love couldn’t see the light of day was simply because his lover was not very talkative and introverted.

If the alpha said not to make it public, then he wouldn’t.

If the alpha said he couldn’t adapt to sleeping in his dormitory, he would clean up the dormitory overnight, buy pillows, and bed sheets, and keep the small dormitory spotless every day. He even thought that because of the alpha’s casual inquiries about his family situation, they were going to get married and become legal partners.

Love was as cheap as grass.

The less he knew about alpha, the easier it was to develop real feelings. Now that he knew more, he realized that this alpha was nothing special.

And all alphas were the same.

Rong Qiu’s face was tense, his expression mocking. “There’s no need to talk about forgiveness or enemies.”

Rong Qiu paused and continued sarcastically, “The ties between us were already severed five years ago.”

“Qiuqiu… If you’re willing to give me a chance, I…”

“A chance?” Rong Qiu interrupted Qin Muye. “Isn’t it true that five years ago, it was this s-ranked alpha who hurt me? And now, he’s desperately trying to hold onto me. Are betas so worthless in your eyes, Commander Qin?”

Qin Muye became completely nervous. “Qiuqiu, I didn’t mean to look down on betas.”

Rong Qiu looked up at Qin Muye, his beautiful eyes devoid of gentleness, only sharp sarcasm remained. “Does General Qin not remember? The five million you gave me before graduation?”

Hearing Rong Qiu mention the five million, Qin Muye’s heart suddenly stopped beating, a subtle and uneasy feeling instantly engulfing his mind.

“That five million was just for being my bed partner.”

“And the thousands and tens of thousands I received intermittently before that were also bed partner fees?”

“One payment for one time, if I didn’t want to sleep with you anymore, I just had to spend some money to get rid of you completely. That’s what a bed partner is in the eyes of an alpha.”

“But thanks to Commander Qin, otherwise, how could an orphan like me afford to buy a house on A Star before graduation…”

This was the first time Rong Qiu had said so much to him since losing his memory.

The temperature outside was below minus ten degrees, and the wind felt like ice skates cutting across the skin, bringing Qin Muye a bone-chilling sensation. But what was even colder was his limbs, a bone-piercing coldness that rose from the soles of his feet, spreading through his body.

With a flushed face, he wanted to explain, to defend himself.

But he found it all futile, because everything Rong Qiu said were the stupid things he had done five years ago. Because of this, his momentum diminished in front of Rong Qiu.

In his imagination, there was a high probability that Rong Qiu would reject him, even as high as ninety percent, but he still harbored ten percent of hope, hoping that Rong Qiu would accept his inadequate apology.

However, when this ninety percent came, he was left empty-headed.

The Alpha stood there dumbfoundedly, even though he was wearing a thick and fluffy down jacket, Rong Qiu could still see the trembling shoulders of the alpha. They shook again and again, the frequency gradually increasing, and the magnitude gradually increasing.

Rong Qiu raised an eyebrow.

What’s wrong? Why was the alpha’s face like a palette mixed with colors?

Was he going to attack him because he was rejected?

Rong Qiu keenly pulled taut the muscles on his body. The muscles hidden under the down jacket were quickly mobilized, and the hand that had been tucked in his sleeve silently clenched into a fist, the blue veins bulging on the fair back of his hand. Even though there was an s-ranked alpha in front of him, he wasn’t afraid to use force.

But the alpha still didn’t move.

The man just took a deep breath, watching as a wisp of white mist dispersed from the corner of Qin Muye’s lips, instantly blurring Rong Qiu’s vision. But even so, Rong Qiu could still clearly see the redness in the man’s eyes, the round black pupils hidden in the watery shine, inexplicably bright.

Hmm. Huh?

Rong Qiu had always been satisfied with his good eyesight, but now he almost couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

Was he mistaken?

How could the alpha be crying?

But it was true.

The Alpha had regained his steady breathing, no longer exhaling white mist from his mouth. Rong Qiu could clearly see the redness at the corners of alpha’s eyes, the slightly raised eyes, and those eyes, originally proud as eagles’, now harbored rare vulnerability and pain.

Things had turned around. Rong Qiu never expected that one day he would be able to easily see through Qin Muye’s emotions like this.

Just because of his simple words, Qin Muye had revealed such a miserable face to him? According to Qin Muye’s character, shouldn’t he be furious after being rejected and never come to see him again? It was different from what Rong Qiu had expected before.

Qin Muye’s face showed no expression, his lips slightly tightened, but he didn’t reveal any emotions. There was no anger or rage, nor the irritable temperament that other alphas easily erupted with.

Qin Muye just silently watched him.

Then, he slowly released the hand that was holding onto him.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion, and Rong Qiu could clearly see the hand moving away from his wrist, the down jacket that had been flattened at the wrist re-entering the air, fluffing back up in just three or five seconds.

In that moment, the alpha had already regained control of all his emotions.

Except for slightly reddened eyes, there was nothing unusual.

Qin Muye looked at the beta in front of him with a deep gaze, his eyes reflecting Rong Qiu’s face like the turbulent sea reflecting the moon.

Rong Qiu’s meaning was obvious.

Qin Muye held the large food thermos, unaware that his eyes were already red and that Rong Qiu could see it. So, he maintained his cautious and slightly proud demeanor, gracefully holding the food thermos and slightly bowing, opening the large food thermos in front of Rong Qiu.

Rong Qiu had already known that there wouldn’t only be food inside because ordinary food thermoses weren’t this large, almost reaching the height of his thighs.

Qin Muye pulled out a jar of loquat paste from inside.

The bottle was the size of two palms, containing orange-yellow paste. Handwritten on the bottle were the words “Loquat Paste,” indicating that it wasn’t store-bought. 

Qin Muye sealed the rest of the items back up, only taking out this jar of loquat paste. The color of the loquat paste bottle was very nice, but it highlighted Qin Muye’s already reddened hands. Qin Muye didn’t realize it. He just raised the jar of loquat paste, his expression cautious and careful, afraid that Rong Qiu would reject him again. “This is good for coughs. Your throat still sounds a bit hoarse, just drinking medicine isn’t enough.”

***

When Rong Qiu returned home, he placed the jar of loquat paste heavily on the coffee table in front of him. Along with it was a black plush hat that kept his head warm.

The loquat paste was given to him by Qin Muye, and the hat on his head was also given by Qin Muye.

And he could be sure of one more thing, that the supplies currently in his room were not all prepared by Rong Qin for him. The black down jacket he was wearing coincidentally matched Qin Muye’s, and there were also duplicates of water and instant noodles in two batches of supplies.

He should have noticed it earlier.

The supplies with the medical kit were prepared by Qin Muye for him.

Now he had accepted another jar of loquat paste from Qin Muye. It wasn’t something valuable, but it made Rong Qiu feel even more awkward.

It’s hard to repay kindness.

But because of this, Rong Qiu felt that something was wrong.

He shouldn’t have any contact with Qin Muye, so he shouldn’t repeatedly accept Qin Muye’s things. But he still accepted them, just because of that barely perceptible softness.

This feeling made him feel familiar. Was he being manipulated?

Upon careful consideration, Qin Muye’s actions of taking advantage of him when he lost his memory before were too similar to today. Qin Muye kept insisting on becoming his bed partner, only he said that he wanted to become his legal bed partner. Naturally, he wouldn’t rush into marriage, but he inexplicably agreed to give Qin Muye a chance to be his bed partner.

It was the same this time.

He should have given up on this alpha.

But in the end, he rejected the meal Qin Muye prepared for him and only accepted this jar of loquat paste.

Something was wrong, really wrong.

So, this alpha had been manipulating him all along, right?

***

This time, Qin Muye really didn’t intend to manipulate Rong Qiu.

At this point, Qin Muye had already sat back in the car with the large food thermos. These dishes all came from a very delicious private restaurant. He was self-aware enough to know that the dishes he made were not as tasty as those from the restaurant, so he brought these light-flavored dishes for Rong Qiu.

But he also had his own thoughts.

For example, the jar of loquat paste was made by himself.

He didn’t know how many failed jars there were before he finally succeeded in making that jar of beautiful and fragrant loquat paste.

Having been rejected by Rong Qiu so many times, he didn’t dare to hope that Rong Qiu would accept the loquat paste. But Rong Qiu’s voice, with a slight nasal tone and seemingly cold symptoms, made his heart ache, so he was relieved when Rong Qiu accepted it.

***

Now, Qin Muye seemed more like a chasing puppy.

Rong Qiu had said many harsh words to him, but as long as Rong Qiu gave him a positive response, he could forget all the negative words Rong Qiu had said before.

He only remembered the good things and ignored the harsh ones.

He seemed to have figured out a suitable way to get along with Rong Qiu, and Qin Muye felt relieved.

***

Qin Muye sat in the car and ate the remaining food.

Since being blocked by Rong Qiu, he had been completely busy with the work of the 13th Military District. This sudden snowstorm not only had a great impact on the residents’ lives but also caused some damage to various military equipment and military projects in the 13th Military District.

He had been in meetings at the Military District for the past two days, but only today, the third day of the heavy snow.

Finally, on the third day of the heavy snow.

He took the time to drive to Rong Qiu’s house outside.

Halfway through the meal, the alpha sitting in the car felt like something was missing. He looked in the rearview mirror and realized that the hat he had been wearing on his head was missing.

The Alpha gently tightened the chopsticks in his hand.

Giving the hat to Rong Qiu was an action he didn’t even think about. At that moment, when he saw Rong Qiu trying to escape, he only had one thought in his mind: to firmly catch him.

But he caught him, only to let go.

Because Rong Qiu still rejected him.

When Qin Muye drove back to the office, he passed by Rong Qiu’s villa area.

This villa area was much better than the apartment area where Rong Qiu currently lived. At least from the outside, the roads in the villa area were all cleared, with a width of more than three meters, wide enough for vehicles to drive on.

Thinking it was still early, Qin Muye’s car turned in.

The guard recorded his information and let him through.

There weren’t many people on the roadside, only forklifts bustling about, and Rong Qiu’s villa should be empty now because Rong Qin had been staying in the office recently. His brother would bother him every few days, annoying Rong Qin to the point where he didn’t want to go back to Rong Qiu’s villa.

Qin Muye’s car arrived outside the villa, but he couldn’t go in, so he could only stand outside and watch quietly.

He didn’t know when he developed this habit, of staring into empty houses in a daze.

After purchasing Rong Qiu’s house in the first military district on the Capital Star, he moved in, but he often drove past the window to look at the house. That house was a manifestation of Rong Qiu’s hard work and dedication.

He had nothing, so he could only hold onto expired candy.

The villa in A Star was similar to the one in front of him, both two-story villas with a small nursery garden of about ten square meters.

Regardless of whether he had regained his memories or not, Rong Qiu had planted flowers outside.

Qin Muye’s gaze shifted.

He noticed something collapsed under the pure white snow.

It was the nursery Rong Qiu had built for the small flower seedlings, which collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow. Qin Muye put on his down jacket and got out of the car. The snow reached his calves, and he walked laboriously step by step. When he reached the nursery, he dug out the snow covering it.

The outline of the support shed was revealed, and Qin Muye tried to prop it up again. His movements were not as agile as Rong Qiu’s, and the supports and shed that had been outside for a long time felt cold to the touch, and even his fingertips were pricked by ice several times.

Ten minutes later, the shed was finally propped up again.

It was a bit crooked and not very sturdy, and the original tall pillars of the shed had turned into ladder-like supports.

Qin Muye looked at his clumsy work.

He even considered demolishing it.

But he still stepped back.

He had observed that many of the seedlings inside had already been broken, and if it weren’t for the protection of the shed, they would have been frostbitten long ago. Although the shed had been propped up now, Qin Muye didn’t know how much could be saved, or if his insignificant efforts now were in vain.

Qin Muye looked up at the sky.

His heart felt like it was being chiseled with a small chisel.

Everything depended on fate.

***

This heavy snow had been falling for another day, totaling five days since the first day of snowfall. There were only brief breaks of one or two hours in between, and the snow kept piling up. This snowstorm indeed brought great inconvenience to the residents of the main U Star  of the 13th Military District.

The roads that had just been cleared were buried again, and the fifty-centimeter snow kept getting higher. Now even the snowplows couldn’t work, and the entire planet was in a state of early winter vacation. Even the residents on the first floor could see flawless white snow outside their windows.

Fortunately, the major communities had received notice a few days ago and distributed supplies in advance. There was enough rice, flour, and oil, although it wasn’t as delicious and nutritious as before the snowfall, it still ensured daily energy supply.

Rong Qiu was particularly comfortable.

He lacked nothing in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. On the first day when the heavy snow stopped, Rong Qiu, who was well-fed and not worried about his family, even took the initiative to go out and become a volunteer snow shoveler.

The community he lived in had many kind-hearted people and volunteers.

Alphas, betas, and omegas were all there, getting along quite well. Operating a snow shovel required some skill, so there were professional instructors to teach them. When they saw how smoothly Rong Qiu operated the snow shovel, turning snow blocks into neatly shaped white tofu, many volunteers couldn’t accept the fact that the snow they shoveled out was scattered like loose sand.

There were also a few omegas who did well.

Although the shoveling was a bit messy, it was still better than the chaotic shoveling of some alphas. When the alphas operated the shovels, more often than not, the shovel came up empty.

The omega instructor teaching on the side laughed, “Look at you alphas, tall and strong, yet you can’t shovel snow as well as us omegas.”

The alphas were both angry and embarrassed, and in the end, they blushed and followed behind the omegas.

Rong Qiu and others didn’t dare to ask.

For some reason, alphas always felt that the snow Rong Qiu shoveled out wasn’t snow, but rubbish created by enemies.

Rong Qiu was venting.

Counting the time spent traveling, he hadn’t touched his beloved mecha for nearly twenty days. Although smoking could alleviate his irritability to some extent, it wasn’t as good as operating the mecha. Only sitting in the cockpit of the mecha, experiencing the thrilling sensation of rushing and falling, could he release all his emotions.

Unable to operate the mecha, he reluctantly operated this snowplow for venting.

As the former number one in the mecha combat system, operating a snowplow was easy for him to pick up. While it took others an hour or two to get used to it, he figured it out in minutes. He delivered the blocks of tofu-like snow shoveled out to the large park where no one was present, as if he were a construction maniac, neatly stacking these snow blocks.

Rong Qiu worked as a snow shoveler in the community for three days, and then gained a group of alpha, beta, omega fanboys and fangirls. These same-age residents of the community spoke their minds. 

Everyone had come out because they were uncomfortable at home, and another reason was that the current online atmosphere was really bad.

The cold wave storm affecting the main star of the Thirteenth Military Region had quite an impact, but in the eyes of other military regions, it was just a drizzle. People tend to talk big when they’re not the ones suffering; after all, one doesn’t know the pain until they’re the ones being whipped. So, these people inevitably speak without restraint. 

Rong Qiu was still unaware of this. 

During this time, he operated a forklift during the day and designed his mecha blueprints at night, without being distracted by other matters. He rarely even considered Rong Qin and Qin Muye’s affairs. 

But when he found out that the fundraising event for the Thirteenth Military District had once again become a hot topic on the StarNet, Rong Qiu wasn’t surprised. 

There are billions of people in the entire Federation.

Which planet doesn’t have billions of people living on it? And if you look at each military district, there are even more people. Getting on the trending list is simply too easy.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qiu soon became the headline of the trending topics.

***

The day after meeting Rong Qiu, Qin Muye entered his susceptible period.

At eight forty-two in the morning, his susceptible period suddenly arrived. Feeling the stabbing pain and burning sensation in the back of his neck, Qin Muye skillfully activated the office’s isolation mode. The blinds were replaced by metal windows, and the office door, originally made of high-quality wood, was also replaced by a metal door. The ventilation system was turned on, and the pheromones emitted by Qin Muye would be transmitted to where they needed to go through a special channel.

The sensible beta officer outside the door didn’t disturb him.

If there were no incident, Commander Qin’s susceptible period would last for at least five days.

And now, with signs of an outbreak just beginning, all he could do was wait for the Commander’s personal doctor to come and administer the sedatives.

But this time, the beta doctor didn’t come on time. For some reason, when the Beta Doctor called Wei Ming, the beta doctor was audibly gasping for breath, “I’m hospitalized with acute appendicitis, I’m afraid I can’t make it. I’ve left the injection task to…”

Wei Ming was familiar with the name mentioned.

This was the omega doctor sent by the Federation headquarters, but apparently, he had poor conduct and had been reprimanded by the Commander and forbidden to appear in front of him.

Wei Ming had also encountered this bold and arrogant omega doctor before.

Last time he didn’t stop him, and this omega doctor barged into the Commander’s office. Later, he found out that this omega doctor couldn’t be considered the Commander’s personal doctor. He didn’t expect that this time, he would come swaggering again with a medical kit.

Wei Ming hesitated whether to intercept him or not.

But the omega doctor’s face turned extremely cold: “Commander Qin hasn’t completely entered the high susceptibility period yet. The sedatives still work. If it’s delayed any longer, these injections will be ineffective.”

Wei Ming finally let him through.

The alpha inside the isolation room sat silently on the chair, sensing vaguely that this time, it was still a high susceptibility period. But his condition wasn’t severe yet. As long as the sedatives were injected in time, he should be able to “relax” through it.

But Qin Muye didn’t expect the beta doctor not to come, but an omega doctor instead.

“Get out!”

The omega doctor’s legs trembled. He had just found an opportunity while the beta doctor was absent. How could he leave so easily?

If it weren’t for Qin Muye being stationed in the 13th military district, he would never have set foot in such a poor and barbaric district. On the first day he arrived, he was ridiculed by the omegas here as a spoiled little miss. If he could successfully win over Qin Muye this time, he would definitely make Qin Muye dismiss all the district’s omegas.

The imagination was too beautiful, as if it could be realized in the next second.

But now Qin Muye was in a susceptible period.

An alpha in a susceptible period couldn’t control himself well. Now was the perfect opportunity for him to make a move.

Under Qin Muye’s icy gaze, the omega doctor didn’t open his medical kit. How could he inject sedatives into Qin Muye? With such a good opportunity, he must completely mark this S-class alpha. Five years ago, when Qin Muye was matched with forty-five omegas for pheromone compatibility, he wasn’t present, but he was proud and confident. If it were him, he would definitely match with such an excellent alpha.

So he didn’t bring sedatives in his medical kit at all.

The arrogant S-class omega silently emitted his S-class pheromones, the overly sweet and thick peach scent making Qin Muye frown. A susceptible alpha couldn’t wear pheromone-blocking rings, and now, the glands in the alpha’s neck twitched with every movement, releasing an especially rich sandalwood pheromone.

The omega doctor thought he had received a response and released his pheromones more boldly.

But this peach scent was like a rotten peach to Qin Muye.

It wasn’t the scent he needed.

He didn’t know what scent he needed.

But he knew it wasn’t this scent, or the scent of omega pheromones. After smelling it, he just wanted to tear everything apart.

“Get out!”

The S-class omega didn’t want to leave and even intensified his pheromone release in response.

He didn’t believe that with just a little more effort, he couldn’t conquer this man. No one could leave unscathed under his pheromone temptation. But his suddenly intensified pheromone concentration only became the spark that triggered Qin Muye’s explosion.

At the same time, Qin Muye endured the burning sensation in his body and the nearly uncontrollable urge to destroy, and called the beta officer, ordering him to immediately throw out this omega doctor who didn’t know the severity.

The beta officer came in with trembling legs.

“Wei Ming, take him out!”

As soon as the voice fell, the alpha’s brows furrowed, and he almost couldn’t control his own pheromones.

The pheromones only doubled, but the omega directly softened under the violent impact of the alpha’s pheromones, almost fainting on the spot.

As the omega doctor was being dragged away, his medical kit first fell on the table. Then, because of the omega’s movement, the not-so-light medical kit, along with the papers and pens on Qin Muye’s desk, rolled to the ground.

Documents, pens, and small medical instruments from the medical kit were scattered everywhere, creating a mess, and the omega’s pheromones contaminated the entire isolation room.

Yes, it was contamination.

The alpha’s phoenix eyes were sharp.

He shouldn’t have been tainted by these odors.

Qin Muye remained silent, but the muscles in his arms tightened, turning the ventilation system to the maximum, and his own pheromones accelerated to drive away the foreign pheromones.

Wei Ming finally stood firm on his feet. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the omega’s shoulder, intending to throw the omega out with him.

Without bothering to pick up the scattered instruments, the omega doctor was pressed down by weakness, cold sweat layering on his back like someone was constantly holding an axe above his head. Just as he was hurriedly being taken away, he happened to see Qin Muye’s dropped phone screen light up, the text unclear, but the background was a familiar face.

He had seen this face somewhere before.

The person who could be set as the phone screensaver by Qin Muye must be a very important person.

But the omega doctor couldn’t remember where he had seen him exactly.

However, at the moment the door closed, the low, gentle voice in the isolation room saying “Qiu Qiu is fine” instantly reminded the omega doctor who this person was.

Qiu Qiu, Rong Qiu.

He was the beta personally brought back by Qin Muye from the starport before.

Knowing that Qin Muye cared about a beta, he didn’t even want to look at their omegas more. In his dizziness, jealousy made him lose control and go mad.

***

The one calling the high susceptibility alpha was Rong Qin.

Rong Qin finally found time to return to the villa today. But when he got back, he noticed several large footprints outside Rong Qiu’s villa, and there were faint traces of tampering with the flower bed at the door. Because he remembered that Rong Qiu’s flower bed was square and beautiful, but now it looked crooked and unsightly, particularly unattractive.

So he was worried that Rong Qiu’s villa had been burglarized after the snow.

But when he opened the door and carefully inspected, he didn’t find anything missing. The cash and watches in his second-floor drawer were still there. There was no burglary, just some changes outside in the flower bed. So did Little Qiu come back?

Rong Qin felt embarrassed to ask.

Having done something guilty, he inevitably lacked confidence in everything he did.

So the call that should have been made to Rong Qiu inexplicably ended up at Qin Muye’s place. He didn’t know that this alpha had entered a susceptible period, so during the conversation, he accidentally touched on the alpha’s sore spot every time. Knowing that the alpha had gone to see Rong Qiu at noon, Rong Qin felt a sense of betrayal by an ally.

“You and I are both rejected by Qiu Qiu, but you actually went to Qiu Qiu to gain favor while I was busy? And that dog alpha brother of yours even dragged my plans for Qiu Qiu down. It’s really the two of you brothers, each more capable of dragging me down than the other.”

The more Rong Qin scolded, the angrier he got, but he soon became overwhelmed.

Because some affected alpha came to block him again in his office.

After Rong Qin hung up the phone, Qin Muye looked at the top contact in his phone and tried to send a message to the other party. The result was still that he was blocked by the other party.

But before he could generate too many mixed feelings, his pheromones went completely out of control and spread mercilessly outward.

From now until five days later, he would be completely cut off from the outside world.

And he would also bear a blame that didn’t belong to him.

***

Rong Qiu volunteered for three days.

On the fourth night, just as he had received the excellent resident award plaque from the community property, Rong Qiu hadn’t even soaked his feet when he received an inexplicable call from Zhao Nanchen.

Even Zhao Nanchen, who was the most gossip-loving, couldn’t help but sneak a peek and gossip even while working in the military district.

“Little Qiu Brother, quickly check the real-time trending topics. You’re currently ranked forty-sixth!”

“???”

Rong Qiu’s trending topic was still there, and Zhao Nanchen saw it ranked forty-sixth. When Rong Qiu logged into his account to check, his photo and the hashtag #SecretLover# had already skyrocketed to the top of the star network trending topics at a rocket-like speed.

No one had mentioned his name, but his photo was displayed.

This was his ID photo when he joined the mecha research institute, taken with a serious and dignified expression, not smiling and not very approachable. But that wasn’t the point. The point was the hashtag on the trending topic, which was completely inexplicable — #SecretLover#.
