Chapter 66: It's been like this ever since he knew Pei Jiqing no longer loved him^^...

After putting away the camera, Old Yu was counting the equipment in front of the toolbox. A

passing soldier suddenly stopped to salute, the sound of their training boots clattering against each other, sending dust flying from the ground.

Pei Jiqing returned the salute and smiled at them.

On his first day in Linhe, Pei Jiqing had already attracted countless glances. With his typical Omega build and features, half a head shorter than an Alpha, he stood out like a bamboo shoot.

Most importantly, he was handsome.

Pei Jiqing followed the local customs and wore a training uniform, his sleeves rolled up, his exposed wrists dazzlingly white in the twilight.

Several new recruits in the rest area jostled each other, and one boldly stepped forward.

"You're the commander's Omega, right?" the soldier asked in a gruff voice, the badge pinned to his collar gleaming in the sunlight.

Old Yu leaned over and asked curiously, "Did you see it on TV?"

The soldier shook his head.

"I learned about it three months ago when we wiped out that pharmaceutical operation on Yishan Mountain."

Sporadic gunfire echoed from the distant firing range. The soldier continued, "A mudslide destroyed our retreat route. The rest of us were writing suicide notes when the commander pulled a photo from his chest pocket and kissed it."

Pei Jiqing's breath hitched. "What photo?"

The soldier rubbed his nose nervously. "You and the commander were holding a little baby. The child looked like the commander. I took one second to see it, and I remembered it."

Pei Jiqing's fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of his notebook.

Pei Jiqing suddenly wanted to know what Chen Huixing was thinking as he looked at the photo of him and his daughter.

He hadn't given him any information.

Several soldiers who had been interviewed lined up at the base gate. After the interview, as the jeep passed the checkpoint, the sentry's figure, standing at attention and saluting, dwindled in the rearview mirror until it became a blurry black dot.

Pei Jiqing was sorting documents at night when a muffled sound suddenly rang out from the distance, vibrating the windowpanes. He threw back the covers and drew back the curtains. The southwest sky had already been dyed orange, and thick smoke spiraled upward like a giant python.

At dawn, the patrol had been reduced by half.

Pei Jiqing stopped a liaison officer and inquired about the situation.

"The rebels sneaked in last night," the liaison officer panted.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Those beasts sent children to lead the charge. The youngest one wasn't even as tall as my rifle. Our southwest defense line was ambushed."

The riverfront was truly treacherous, its banks plunging straight into the water like a knife. The rebels had occupied the commanding heights of an abandoned factory. Behind the rusted barbed wire, figures could be vaguely seen moving. They had deliberately placed the elderly and children in the outermost buildings.

During the first rescue operation, several firing points avoided the hostage concentration area, resulting in all the civilians being drawn out and made targets.

The rebels had taken a large number of civilians hostage, giving them a sense of arrogance. Shen Huixing, concerned about the people, hadn't dared to attack.

The man spoke bitterly, saying they had sent very young children across the river with bombs strapped to their bodies. The Alliance forces hadn't opened fire in time, and when the children emerged from the water, they cried, "Uncle, save us! "

But by then, it was too late.

Pei Jiqing asked, "What's the situation now?"

"It's a mess. Reinforcements have just left."

Pei Jiqing said, "Let's go help. I can bandage and change the dressings."

Pei Jiqing had taught himself pharmacology when he was ill. He had administered pheromone injections and mixed reagents himself, so he had no problem caring for others.

The liaison officer hesitated: "This... I have to ask the superior."

After asking for instructions, the result was to stay put.

Pei Jiqing took the communicator.

"Chen Huixing, I'm here. I came here for this."

A cacophony of voices filled the background. "It's too dangerous. A convoy is leaving for the Linhe exit today. You should return to Ling City."

"Who are you speaking in this capacity?"

"If you're speaking as Pei Jiqing's Alpha, I'm sorry, but I won't listen. If you're speaking as a military commander, I'm not your soldier and cannot obey your orders."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds. Chen Huixing's breathing became heavy and slow, as if he had swallowed something back.

"The military has regulations," his voice suddenly became official. "Omegas aren't allowed to be stationed long-term. If something happens, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Pei Jiqing: "I took medication. And if I were carrying your pheromones, who would challenge an S-class Alpha like you?"

Probably almost none. It's

said that the other S-class Alpha from the Asian Union died young, leaving only Chen Huixing.

Pei Jiqing was distracted for the rest of the day because of Shen Huixing's talk about re-marking.

That night, when Pei Jiqing was about to fall asleep, the door suddenly opened.

Pei Jiqing sat up.

Chen Huixing's military boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the floor. He took off his leather gloves and threw them on the table. The night's chill still lingered on his military jacket. He raised his hand to unbutton the first button of his collar, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

There was still an unshaved stubble on the Alpha's chin, and two obvious dark circles under his eyes, which made the already well-defined face look even sharper.

How to say it, although rough, it somehow felt good.

Chen Huixing raised his eyebrows: "Are you still not asleep?"

The smell of gunpowder on Chen Huixing's body mixed with Alph's scent dyed the entire room his territory.

Pei Jiqing swallowed unconsciously. He quickly turned his back to Chen Huixing, his fingers on the buttons, and when the collar slid down, the seductive skin on the back of his neck was exposed.

Pei Jiqing closed his eyes: "Bite it."

Chen Huixing's palm pressed against his shoulder blade. There was a thin layer of calluses on the palm, and the warmth came through the fabric.

"Hurry up." Pei Jiqing's ears were a little red, and he couldn't help but urge.

Chen Huixing's breath sprayed on the back of his neck, wondering: "Have you been waiting for me to mark?"

Pei Jiqing agreed.

"Just bite?"

Pei Jiqing turned around and glared at him: "What else?"

Pei Jiqing's glands were too fragile to mark, and could only withstand the amount of pheromones for temporary marking.

Chen Huixing's arms were wrapped around Pei Jiqing's waist, and the rough fabric rubbed against Pei Jiqing's skin. He lowered his head and bit Pei Jiqing's neck, his canine teeth grinding around the glands neither lightly nor heavily, and his breath sprayed on the skin, causing a small shudder. Pei Jiqing's hand was against his chest, the muscles under his palm were tense, and he could feel the other's strong heartbeat.

Chen Huixing made an even more outrageous request: "I don't want to just bite, can I do something else? I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't be so shameless, don't you want to know where this place is?" Pei Jiqing's hand that was trying to push him away somehow turned into grabbing Chen Huixing's collar.

"It's not like you haven't snuggled into my bed before, in places like this."

It was the conversation of an old married couple.

It was natural.

Pei Jiqing couldn't reduce the ambiguity even if he wanted to;

after all, they had been husband and wife for so many years. The scent of Chen Huixing's pheromones overwhelmed him, his Alpha aura making his knees weak. Chen Huixing's hand climbed up his spine, his rough fingertips brushing against every raised joint.

Pei Jiqing's curses gradually turned into rapid gasps, and the glands at the back of his neck began to heat, unexpectedly responding to Pei Jiqing's request.

The moment Chen Huixing's canine teeth pierced his skin, he shuddered, his fingers unconsciously clutching the fabric of Chen Huixing's back. The sound of the patrol's footsteps echoed outside the window, approaching from afar and then fading away, leaving only the mingled breathing of the two people echoing in the room.

In fact, it seemed to be getting more and more intense, and it was getting worse.

Pheromones carry a strong scent of sexual innuendo.

In the end, Chen Huixing braked just in time.

One simply couldn't withstand the impact of pheromones, and the other was driven by love and desire.

Chen Huixing licked Pei Jiqing's gland, tilted his head and rubbed Pei Jiqing: "Is it okay?"

Pei Jiqing didn't reply for a moment.

Chen Huixing lowered his head to look at Pei Jiqing's expression, pinched his face and said: "Are you stupid?"

Pei Jiqing covered up his loss of composure, slapped Chen Huixing's hand away, pulled up his clothes in an instant and said it was done.

Chen Huixing hugged Pei Jiqing, kissed his hair and said: "Don't run around. The rebels have been trapped by us for a month. Without supplies, a counterattack is only a matter of time. They don't care about the consequences. I won't stop you from wanting to contribute your own strength. In short, protect yourself."

Pei Jiqing looked at Chen Huixing's tired face and could see that he was in a bad state. The high-spirited Chen Huixing would not feel tired.

"Have your pheromones been unstable recently?"

Pei Jiqing's fingertips just touched the back of Chen Huixing's neck and felt several layers of barrier patches.

The Alpha's glands were obviously swollen. Pei Jiqing could imagine that if the barrier patch was torn off, Chen Huixing's pheromones would overflow uncontrollably.

"It's always like this."

It has been like this since he knew Pei Jiqing no longer loved him.

Chen Huixing replied in a hoarse voice, and casually unbuttoned his military uniform. He found a position and buried himself directly in Pei Jiqing's waist, resting his forehead on the other's lower abdomen. "Wife, for your sake, let me sleep next to you for a while."

Pei Jiqing's hand was suspended in the air, and in the end he did not push Chen Huixing away.

Chen Huixing's breathing gradually became steady, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. This man who pursued the ultimate in numerical stability now let disordered pheromones go.

If it were a few years ago, no one would have believed it.

Pei Jiqing fell asleep later.

It must be said that the two of them slept exceptionally well together.

As dawn began to break, the scent of Chen Huixing enveloped him. Pei Jiqing hadn't fully awoke, but his body had already reacted. His lips and teeth opened naturally, letting the other's tongue penetrate. Chen Huixing's palm rested on his waist, the calloused fingertips scraping against his skin, causing a subtle shiver.

Their breathing quickened, and Pei Jiqing's legs unconsciously wrapped around Chen Huixing's waist. Chen Huixing paused noticeably, then pressed down more fiercely, his canine teeth leaving a light mark on Pei Jiqing's lower lip.

Pei Jiqing regained consciousness slightly, unable to open his eyes. He pushed against the person on top of him, his voice filled with pouty, "Chen Huixing, what are you doing..." Chen

Huixing pushed herself up from him. "Wife, give me some of your pheromones, please?"

Pei Jiqing recalled how he used to beg for pheromones from Shen Huixing.

Now, Shen Huixing lay on top of him like a large dog, his nose pressed against the crook of his neck, greedily absorbing his scent.

It was as if the world had suddenly been reversed.

At that time, they both believed too much in the data of pheromone compatibility. One thought that a high degree of compatibility meant love, and the other felt that no matter how hard he tried

, he could not get true love. It turns out that true compatibility has nothing to do with data, but because it is a position that can make each other feel at ease.

Pei Jiqing covered his eyes with his palms, and a little light leaked in between his fingers. The tip of Chen Huixing's nose rubbed against his cheek, and his dry lips felt a little rough when they touched him.

Chen Huixing's palm rested on the back of his head, his knuckles entangled in his hair, and his other hand clasped his wrist, but did not pull away the hand that was covering his eyes. The two people's breaths intertwined, and Chen Huixing's canine teeth gently scraped across his lower lip, and then eagerly absorbed the pheromones belonging to Pei Jiqing.
