The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 102

Chapter 102: AE26

In the evening, Gu Xiu returned home, took off his shirt, and was about to take a shower. He had just walked past the mirror—

His footsteps paused, and he turned around.

The mirror reflected his naked upper body. The Alpha’s body was lean and powerful, and on his shoulder, a silver snowflake pattern was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a real snowflake melting, without a trace.

He touched his own shoulder. There was no unusual feeling, only a faint red tooth mark left there. The pain of a successful mark was only for a moment and would not leave a scar on the body. The pheromones in the body would also bring a long-lasting satisfaction.

A mark was like a bite between beasts, but as 007 had said, this was fundamentally different from a bite. It was actually a kind of… borderline sexual act.

Gu Xiu thought for a moment and searched online for the pattern left by the mark. This was just a minor detail in the world’s setting, and 007 had not gone into detail with him.

The information online was detailed and comprehensive: only Alphas of A+ rank or higher had a “mark pattern.” When they were engrossed in marking their lover, the Alpha’s possessiveness could materialize and leave their own brand on the other’s gland or lower abdomen.

Under normal circumstances, an Alpha’s temporary mark could last for one to two weeks, and the mark pattern could exist for about 24 hours. The duration of a complete mark’s mark pattern was related to the depth and concentration of the two’s union. It was said that as long as the two cooperated well, the mark pattern on the lower abdomen could last for a long time, and many high-rank Alphas’ spouses were very proud of this mark.

The color and shape of the mark pattern were related to the Alpha’s pheromones.

Gu Xiu couldn’t help but be curious. What did his own mark pattern look like? He was just an insignificant scum gong in a crematorium. When this small world had generated his body, would it have been designed so carefully?

007 saw Gu Xiu’s phone screen and came uninvited: 【Jiujiu, your mental power is so severely damaged that you’ve been downgraded to C-rank. You don’t have a mark pattern, and there’s no Omega for you to mark…】

Gu Xiu pursed his lips: 【Don’t peek at my phone.】

He put his phone on a dry spot on the washstand, hooked his hands on his waistband, and was about to take off his pants as well.

Suddenly, his movements paused, and he instructed 007: 【Hey, you can shut down.】

【Huh? Why?】 007 flew out in confusion. 【You just let me chat with you while you were taking a shower last time… you’ve changed your mind so quickly!】

Gu Xiu said warily, 【After all, you’re a little system from a gay world… I have to be on guard.】

What happened to being straight as an arrow? 007 obediently shut down and complained in his heart.

Gu Xiu got off work, went home, and took a shower. It wasn’t until nine in the evening that Lin Zijun came back.

Lin Zijun came in with a smile on his face. When he saw the man sitting on the sofa, the smile on his face was like a receding tide, and his whole body froze there. “Gu Xiu… why are you back?”

“This is my home,” Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow. “What, can’t I come back?”

Lin Zijun lowered his head and said no, and carefully walked around him.

At this time, the scum gong that Gu Xiu was playing had already become a little suspicious, which was why he had come uninvited, to see if the recently radiant Lin Zijun had done something behind his back.

His feelings for Lin Zijun were very complicated. He was unwilling to be driven by instinct to mark Lin Zijun, and he also disliked Lin Zijun clinging to him. Sometimes, when he saw Lin Zijun being tormented by his heat period, he would feel a little bit of compassion. Now that he saw that Lin Zijun was doing well, he was extremely annoyed.

The person who had begged and pleaded in the past but couldn’t get him back was now taking the initiative to sit on the sofa and wait for him.

Human feelings were so complicated.

And Gu Xiu, who had a God’s-eye view, was very clear about the fact that Lin Zijun had cuckolded him. He saved himself the trouble of letting his imagination run wild and directly questioned, “Lin Zijun, where did you go?”

Lin Zijun’s back stiffened, and he did not turn around at the first moment.

After a few seconds, he continued to tidy up the clutter on the cabinet and said with his back to Gu Xiu, “You’re back just in time. Auntie has asked us to go out for dinner together tomorrow.”

“Auntie?” Gu Xiu keenly caught his changed address.

“…Mm,” Lin Zijun was clearly guilty, and his hands were also trembling, but he was very insistent. “We haven’t had a wedding, we haven’t gotten our marriage certificate, and the engagement was just a verbal one. I should have called her auntie in the first place.”

Gu Xiu was following the plot and let out a cold laugh. He suddenly stood up and strode behind the Omega.

Lin Zijun was startled and quickly turned around.

“Don’t you want me to mark you?” Gu Xiu’s acting skills exploded, and his fierce look was revealed. “Then I’ll satisfy you today.”

But Lin Zijun only had one thought in his mind, the scent on Gu Xiu…

He quickly pushed the baring-his-canines Gu Xiu, but his body had become weak and powerless under the pressure of the pheromones, and his strength was as small as a tickle. Who would have thought that the powerful Alpha would be pushed back three steps by such a light push.

After Gu Xiu had retreated, he secretly let out a sigh of relief and said to 007, 【Fortunately, Zhu Enzhuo took over Mr. Jin’s scenes. If Lin Zijun were still like that ghost from before, I’m really afraid that not only would he not refuse, but he would also force himself on me.】

Of course, Gu Xiu’s threat was just an act. If he were to follow his own heart, he would wish he could keep a distance of eight hundred meters from the 100% compatible Lin Zijun and never see him again in this life.

Before, he had wanted to rub some more of Jin Chenhan’s pheromones to scare Lin Zijun away. Now, the mark on his shoulder was a once-and-for-all solution, and he could no longer feel much of the Omega’s pheromone attraction.

“Gu Xiu, on you… such a strong pheromone!” Lin Zijun’s breath was intermittent. “It’s… it’s Mr. Jin, right?”

“You have the nerve to ask me?” Gu Xiu’s heart was clear, so of course his face was unchanged. He asked back, “Who have you been fooling around with these past few days that I’ve been away? The inhibitors at home are the same as before I left. You haven’t used an inhibitor for a week. How are you in such a good state?”

Lin Zijun’s face changed drastically. “I…”

007 explained to Gu Xiu, 【At this time, although the protagonist shou has already done it with someone else, he is grateful and afraid of the Gu family’s parents. He doesn’t dare to propose to break the engagement, and he doesn’t dare to let you find out that he has cheated.】

Gu Xiu sighed, 【Hey, what an ill-fated relationship.】

“Gu Xiu,” Lin Zijun in front of him had finally brewed it and suddenly asked, “You’ve also cheated, right?”

Gu Xiu: “…?”

Lin Zijun held his breath and tried his best to resist the instinctive fear of that Alpha. He took another step forward and found the place on Gu Xiu’s body where the forest pheromones were the strongest—his shoulder.

Just then, the collar of Gu Xiu’s home clothes was wide. He didn’t say hello and directly went for it. While Gu Xiu was not on guard, he pulled hard!

Half of Gu Xiu’s shoulder was thus exposed.

Above his collarbone, there was a circular red mark—an Alpha’s tooth mark!

“Hey! You…”

As expected. Lin Zijun let go.

Gu Xiu quickly pulled his clothes back, guarding against the O as if he were a thief.

“I knew it. Not only do you like Alphas, but you’re also…” Lin Zijun couldn’t help but laugh, and the more he laughed, the more helpless he became. “No wonder you’re not willing to mark me…”

Who would have thought that his Alpha fiancé would not only disregard a 100% compatible Omega, but would also be willing to be marked by a more powerful Alpha?

Gu Xiu’s homosexual identity of liking Alphas was already conclusive and irrefutable.

【It’s fine, Jiujiu. At least your scum gong persona hasn’t collapsed.】 007 comforted. 【In a Beta’s world, this is equivalent to a female Beta discovering that her male Beta husband actually likes men and has hidden his sexual orientation to marry her. Do you think that’s scum or not?】

【…】 Gu Xiu was silent for a moment. 【If you can’t make a comparison, then shut up. It’s clearly Lin Zijun who cuckolded me first… wait, I haven’t cuckolded him. Mr. Jin and I haven’t done anything. It’s just that Mr. Jin, out of kindness, is treating my mental power damage.】

Gu Xiu couldn’t help but explain more and more, 【Besides, Mr. Jin is an Enigma. He and I are of different genders. How can there be homosexuality?】

Gu Xiu had almost gotten used to the life of the ABO world, but he still had an inexplicable obsession with his straight orientation.

【Hehe.】 007 smiled without saying a word.

【What are you laughing at!】 Gu Xiu quickly became stressed and cursed.

“Let’s just maintain a superficial harmony for now, okay?” Lin Zijun said. “As for uncle and auntie, I’ll take my time and try to persuade them. Let them know that we’re not suitable, until they can accept it…”

Tomorrow night, they still had to deal with the Gu family’s parents.

For some reason, this ill-fated engaged couple had suddenly formed a united front, keeping each other’s secrets and facing a common enemy.

Lin Zijun was more considerate and had reminded Gu Xiu in advance to leave the house with him and take a car together. The Gu family’s parents had already become suspicious, so they had to start acting as soon as they got out of the car.

As expected, Mother Gu, who had said she was on her way, had actually arrived at the restaurant a step ahead and was waiting for them in the parking area at the entrance.

Gu Xiu’s heart tightened. Just as he was thinking of how to deal with it, the other, who had originally had an air of demanding an explanation, suddenly—

“Achoo!” Mother Gu’s brow furrowed tightly. “What did you two spray on yourselves? It’s so strong.”

The perfume that Lin Zijun had prepared in advance.

They both had other people’s pheromone scents on them. Lin Zijun had prepared a pheromone freshener in advance and had sprayed them both from head to toe, especially Gu Xiu.

But the Alpha pheromones on Gu Xiu—actually Enigma pheromones—were really too strong and intense. Lin Zijun had found a strong-scented perfume and had sprayed him all over, completely marinating him in the scent, before he dared to go out with him.

Mother Gu was an A-rank Omega and also Gu Xiu’s biological mother. Her perception of the pheromones on him was no less than that of the 100% compatible Lin Zijun. But with this perfume, the attack on the AO’s sensitive sense of smell was particularly strong. She quickly waved her hand and retreated, wishing she didn’t want this son anymore.

When they were seated in the restaurant, the windows were also wide open to ensure ventilation.

Gu Xiu let out a light sigh of relief, having successfully passed this first hurdle.

When they started to eat, this time, in front of the two of them, Mother Gu brought up the old matter. “When are you two planning to have a child?”

“Ahem, ahem,” Gu Xiu choked on his food. “Mom, my mental power damage hasn’t healed yet, and I’m also in the rising period of my career. I don’t have the energy or the time to have a child…”

Mother Gu immediately shot a sharp glance at Lin Zijun. “How are you an Omega? You know Xiuxiu’s physical condition best. How can you not be attentive at all? And you’re at home all day doing nothing. Can’t you be a little more ambitious and do something practical? Take care of Xiuxiu, take care of the child…”

Lin Zijun was often criticized by his Omega mother-in-law, but he was both cowardly and bound by the kindness of that life-saving money. Each time, he would silently listen to the lecture, and all the bitterness could only be swallowed.

Over time, he also thought that Mother Gu’s admonitions were not without reason. He looked down on himself more and more, thinking that the reason Gu Xiu didn’t like him must be because he wasn’t doing enough. He was too ordinary, too stupid.

Speaking of which, all the changes had started from when Gu Xiu had told him that love could overcome instinct.

This time, Lin Zijun raised his head and looked straight at the other, and mustered up the courage to say, “Auntie, I told you last time that I found a job…”

Bringing this up made Mother Gu angry. She slammed the table. “You’re a daughter-in-law. You’re not a good wife, and you still want to run outside?”

“Oh my!” Gu Xiu shouted in alarm, stood up, and held his head, swaying from side to side. “My head hurts…”

The topic was interrupted. Lin Zijun was startled and was about to go and support Gu Xiu, but he was nimbly dodged by Gu Xiu, who at the same time quietly gave him a cunning look.

Lin Zijun understood. It turned out that Gu Xiu was pretending to be sick—to get him out of trouble.

Lin Zijun was moved in his heart. He suppressed the smile on his lips and cooperated with Gu Xiu. “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll just give him a little pheromone and he’ll be fine.”

Mother Gu was extremely worried and suspicious as she stared at the two of them.

Lin Zijun turned a blind eye and held Gu Xiu’s arm through his clothes.

Gu Xiu’s back straightened, and he said with a nonchalant face, “Mm, I’m fine.”

Mother Gu: “…”

Father Gu, seeing this, also joined the topic and said to Mother Gu, “I told you you were making a fuss. The two of them are fine. You should interfere less in your son’s love life. But Gu Xiu—”

Father Gu suddenly changed the subject. “Gu Xiu, you’ll go with me to the hospital for a mental power check-up next time. I must see your physical condition with my own eyes.”

Gu Xiu: “Okay, okay.”

Although Gu Xiu’s attitude was a little perfunctory, Father and Mother Gu’s faces were filled with joy. “Our family hasn’t had such a harmonious meal together for a long time…”

“Anyway, the most important thing is that you two are well.”

“And Zijun, the family is not short of money. You don’t have to go to work at all. Just take good care of Xiu…”

“Mom! Eat, eat.”

“Although you’re busy with work now, you should have a plan, right? When can we have a grandson…”

“Uncle, try this.”

Gu Xiu and Lin Zijun cooperated tacitly.

While they were smoothing over Father and Mother Gu, they were also unobtrusively changing the subject.

The family of four was harmonious, chatting and laughing.

Gu Xiu had taken a shower before he left, had changed into clean clothes, and had even sprayed himself with perfume to cover the Enigma pheromones on him.

The Alpha father and Omega mother in front of him did not notice anything unusual, and the other Omegas in the restaurant were not like before in the bar, who were so scared by the residual scent on him that they stayed away.

But for the Enigma who had marked him, even if he were wrapped in a zongzi and thrown into a dense sea of people, the faint guidance of the pheromones was like a substantial thread, pulling him and easily finding him.

Jin Chenhan had just stepped over the threshold of the restaurant when he suddenly stopped.

Jamie was holding his girlfriend’s arm and turned back to ask him, “What’s wrong, Jin?”

Seeing this, the girlfriend said anxiously, “Should I not have come along…”

Jamie was always direct. “It’s fine. Although Jin is single, he’s used to seeing others in pairs.”

The girlfriend was even more sweaty. But Jin Chenhan seemed not to have heard. He didn’t say a word, turned, and walked into the restaurant.

After walking a few steps, he saw the family of four sitting in the center of the restaurant.

His footsteps came to a screeching halt, and he stood on a side that Gu Xiu and Lin Zijun couldn’t see.

The middle-aged couple whose faces he could see should be Gu Xiu’s parents. He could sense that they were an A-rank AO couple, and only such a couple could have given birth to such an outstanding Gu Xiu.

The family chatted for a while, and Gu Xiu suddenly stood up, which also confirmed the other’s identity. “Dad, Mom, I’m going to the bathroom. You guys can chat.”

He was a little tired of dealing with these family matters, which were even more troublesome than the work that Jin Chenhan had given him. Since there was a professional, he would let Lin Zijun handle it.

Gu Xiu slipped away to the bathroom, and Jin Chenhan, who was not far away, turned his steps and also changed his direction.

“…Mr. Jin!” Gu Xiu was shocked to run into his superior in the bathroom. “How did you…”

His body was storing a small amount of the other’s pheromones, like a small branch of a vine, pulling him back to the side of the lush and nutritious root.

Jin Chenhan’s body exuded a cool and clear woody scent, which attracted Gu Xiu to get closer step by step.

Jin Chenhan didn’t say anything, turned back, and walked all the way to the deepest part of the bathroom.

Gu Xiu inexplicably followed him step by step. In the quiet and slightly cold atmosphere, his heart was pounding. He only came to his senses when he had followed him into a cubicle. “Huh… how did I?”

Jin Chenhan closed the door, then took off one glove and touched Gu Xiu’s cheek.

The man’s hot palm was as if it were electrified. The place it had touched was numb and tingling. Gu Xiu took a few sharp breaths, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

“Mr. Jin…”

The rolling Adam’s apple, the light brown mole, the trusting and moist black eyes, the charming pheromones and thin sweat, were like an exquisite and delicious little cake, so tempting.

Jin Chenhan was silent, and he went from his cheek to his auricle, and then to his fragile throat. The closer he got to the gland, the stronger Gu Xiu’s reaction became. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, “Your heat should be coming soon.”

Gu Xiu: “…Huh?”

“I’ve recorded your previous few heat times and then calculated the cycle. Your heat period is much more frequent than a normal AO, about once every half a month. Even if there’s an accidental heat in the middle, the next regular heat will not be delayed.”

Jin Chenhan said logically, “The last time in the H City hotel was an accident. Your regular heat period is coming soon—and now you’ve smelled my scent again. It’s easier to go into heat when you’re by my side.”

Gu Xiu was so surprised he was speechless.

007 came out to watch the fun. 【Jiujiu, in the ABO world, an AO recording each other’s heat period is as intimate as a normal human boyfriend recording his girlfriend’s period.】

Gu Xiu: 【…Shut up.】

Jin Chenhan looked like a gentleman, but he did not mention his deliberate release of pheromones. Anyway, his little Alpha couldn’t tell, and he was so fascinated by his pheromones.

He was unhurried and leaned close to Gu Xiu’s shoulder, closed his eyes, and carefully distinguished from the strong perfume, “His scent.”

Then he picked up Gu Xiu’s arm, which was the left arm that had been close to Lin Zijun at the dinner table. Jin Chenhan accurately pointed out all the areas that the Alpha himself might not remember, and had accidentally touched the Omega.

“And here, here.”

Because of Lin Zijun’s pheromones, this time Jin Chenhan couldn’t control himself. More pheromones were released, completely enveloping the Alpha in front of him.

His tongue also came out and rolled over the Alpha’s side neck, while he coaxed, “I’ll give you some more pheromones.”

Gu Xiu’s breathing was rapid, and he finally managed to squeeze out a “no…”

The Alpha’s voice echoed in the small cubicle, rubbing against his ears, more like an invitation than a refusal.

“No, my parents will smell it.”

Jin Chenhan swallowed and barely restrained himself. “Then come and find me later. I’m afraid you’ll go into heat outside. You know?”

He didn’t mention that he was not only the antidote, but also the culprit who had induced the heat.

Gu Xiu did not question, nor did he agree. He just let out a vague “mm.” “Then, Mr. Jin, I’ll go back first.”

“…Mm.”

On the seat, Lin Zijun and Father and Mother Gu had already finished eating and were chatting harmoniously, waiting for Gu Xiu to come back.

Father Gu put his arm around Mother Gu. “Then we’ll go back first. You two should go home early too.”

Lin Zijun said, “Gu Xiu and I will see you off.”

Father and Mother Gu were very pleased. They walked in front and went to pay the bill first.

Gu Xiu was at the very back. Lin Zijun quietly slowed down until he was shoulder to shoulder with him, and then he said in a low voice, “Gu Xiu, my work…”

Gu Xiu didn’t want to hear it at all. “None of my business.”

His words were harsh, but he had undoubtedly agreed, agreed to let him go out to work.

Lin Zijun was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said sincerely, “Thank you.”

Gu Xiu had a handsome face, and he scratched his ear. He looked a bit like a childish high school boy, both enthusiastic and wanting to save face. He had clearly helped someone a lot, but as soon as he was thanked, he would deliberately pretend to be annoyed.

Lin Zijun looked at him and smiled even more brilliantly.

The two of them saw Father and Mother Gu off in the car and stood on the street to watch them leave. It wasn’t until they couldn’t see a trace of the car that they finally relaxed.

Tonight’s crisis was completely resolved.

Not only had Lin Zijun dealt with the Gu family’s parents, but he had also won the opportunity to work. All of this was thanks to Gu Xiu.

Lin Zijun looked at him and smiled sincerely. “Are you coming home tonight?”

The scum gong that Gu Xiu was playing still needed a crematorium to try and win back the protagonist shou. Of course, he couldn’t just let go. But his body was not feeling well, and his annoyance was directly on his face. He played the role of a scum gong and said coldly, “I’m not coming back, but you should be obedient. Don’t forget that you’re still my fiancée.”

Lin Zijun pursed his lips.

Gu Xiu didn’t say much more to him, turned, and walked towards the street corner, preparing to call a ride-hailing car.

When he was operating his phone, he looked up and saw a familiar license plate, a familiar black SUV.

It was Jin Chenhan’s car.

He quickly put away his phone, walked over quickly, and knocked on the car window.

Then he heard the sound of the car door unlocking, inviting him to get in.

Without too many words, the two of them were already very tacit.

Gu Xiu opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as the car door was closed, a strong Enigma pheromone rushed at him, like a surging sea, drowning him in it, and making him feel a long-lost suffocation and coldness.

“Mr. Jin,” Gu Xiu frowned. “Are you not feeling well? I think I can feel it…”

The little Alpha he had been thinking about had noticed the change in his pheromones. Jin Chenhan was quite pleased, but when he thought that this change was because he had witnessed the Alpha and his fiancée talking and laughing, his mood was not good.

“Huh?” Gu Xiu described the strange feeling of being connected to another person with some uncertainty. “Your heart rate has increased, and your blood pressure… is this blood pressure? Your blood pressure has also increased.”

007 immediately provided professional guidance: 【Jiujiu, based on your description, the protagonist gong should be in a bad mood.】

And Jin Chenhan’s calm gray eyes were lowered, and there was no expression on his face. It was hard to tell.

“It’s fine,” Jin Chenhan didn’t say anything and calmly operated the steering wheel. “I’ll take you home.”

The traffic was not good tonight. There were traffic jams everywhere, and every time they passed an intersection, they happened to hit a red light.

After being stuck in the car for half an hour, although Jin Chenhan no longer spoke, his pheromones kept drifting towards Gu Xiu, stimulating his every sense.

Gu Xiu shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying his best to suppress the heat in his body.

When he couldn’t bear it anymore, Gu Xiu heard that there was still nearly half an hour of driving time left. He was in despair and closed his eyes. 【Holy shit, 007! I think I’m really going into heat!】

007 was calm. 【The protagonist gong is right by your side. Quick, let him help you!】

Gu Xiu: 【How can he help…】

He was so ashamed that the back of his neck was flushed.

Suddenly, the car made a nimble turn and accurately parked in the only remaining parking spot on the side of the road.

There were quiet cars in front and behind, sandwiching them in the middle, creating a private and safe space.

Gu Xiu frantically pulled out the throw pillow behind him and held it in front of him.

Jin Chenhan probably knew his own state better than he did himself. He parked the car, tilted his head, and asked directly, “Do you need pheromones?”

Gu Xiu was stared at by the deep gray eyes. His awkward fingers gripped the throw pillow hard. He had no other choice but to confess, “I, I think…”

“Mm, don’t worry,” Jin Chenhan’s voice had an inexplicably convincing magic. He once again reached out his hand to stroke Gu Xiu’s ear and hair.

An Alpha who was in heat could not be provoked at all. Under his touch, his pheromones were wild and wanton, the sweetest scent, with the most inconspicuous aggression.

Jin Chenhan always tended to forget that his little Alpha was also a hunter. One second he was enjoying the delicious sweetness, and the next he was surprised to find that he also had a feeling.

He let out a long breath and said persuasively, “My mark hasn’t faded yet. This heat period will be easy to get through. You don’t need to take an inhibitor…”

“Mr. Jin, I can hear your heartbeat. It’s so fast,” Gu Xiu used his most innocent and harmless face to describe the changes he had discovered.

Jin Chenhan swallowed hard.

Gu Xiu immediately said, “I also heard…”

But he couldn’t finish this sentence, and a suspicious red cloud flew up his cheeks.

An Enigma was drooling at him. What was that all about?

Jin Chenhan was good at inducing. When Gu Xiu was at his most confused, he threw out the most dangerous bait. “Now, do you want to exchange pheromones?”

“Mm…” Gu Xiu followed him in a daze and asked, “How, how do we exchange?”

“Bodily fluid exchange is fine. It’s very simple,” Jin Chenhan got closer and closer, caressing the Alpha’s earlobe with great affection, his voice low and hoarse. “If you don’t want to leave a mark…”

He slightly staggered his nose, and the last sound, along with the hot breath, was sprayed on the corner of Gu Xiu’s lips.

“Perhaps, a kiss?”
