The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 80

Chapter 80: AE04

At ten o’clock at night, the central business district was still brightly lit, with the A79 Group building being the most magnificent.

Jin Chenhan came out of his office. The large office area was already empty, and the cleaning staff had also gone home, leaving only a few lonely lights for the CEO who was working overtime alone.

Before leaving, Jin Chenhan glanced at the secretary’s office.

Unlike his office, which valued privacy with its four walls and perpetually closed wooden door, the secretary’s office had two transparent glass walls, giving it a strong sense of openness. It was sometimes used as a meeting room.

Thus, he saw at a glance the second person who had stayed behind to work overtime in the empty and quiet company—his temporary secretary, Gu Xiu.

However, it was a little different from usual. Gu Xiu was not sitting upright at his desk.

Gu Xiu was asleep, slumped over his desk.

Jin Chenhan pushed the door open and entered. The slumped Gu Xiu did not move. Jin Chenhan continued forward, looked at the soft hair on the Alpha’s head, then at the mountain of documents that had been pushed over on the desk because he had fallen asleep. He gently reached out his hand and helped him tidy them up.

“Mmm…”

Gu Xiu suddenly moved.

Jin Chenhan’s movements paused. He saw the fluffy head nuzzling in his arms, as if it were about to wake up, but it was also stuck and couldn’t be pulled up.

As he moved, Jin Chenhan smelled an increasingly strong pheromone, a sweet and nutty scent.

These past few days, Gu Xiu has been so busy with work, even working overtime until he falls asleep. Has the scent of the Omega’s pheromones on him actually gotten stronger?

Jin Chenhan felt an indescribable displeasure and woke his secretary. “Gu Xiu.”

Gu Xiu broke free from the seal of the sleep bug and quickly sat up. His glasses were crooked, and his black eyes were misty and filled with sleep. There was even a red mark on his cheek from being pressed against his clothes.

This appearance really didn’t look like an Alpha.

And Jin Chenhan was standing, while he was sitting. The height difference between the two was stark. As long as Jin Chenhan released a little of his Enigma pheromones, he could envelop this unguarded Alpha, making it impossible for him to get up from his chair.

Thinking of this, as a strict and responsible superior, Jin Chenhan actually took a step back before saying, “Didn’t I tell you? Don’t bring an Omega’s pheromones to my office.”

He paused, and thinking that it seemed to be him who had come to the secretary’s office uninvited, he added rigorously, “And try not to bring them to the company either.”

Gu Xiu was stunned. His moist black eyes slowly focused on his superior’s serious face. After a long while, he replied, “Huh? Ah, I’m sorry, Mr. Jin, but I haven’t been home these past few days. I’ve been too busy, so I’ve been staying alone in a hotel apartment near the company.”

Jin Chenhan was also stunned for a moment.

But this sweet scent is clearly stronger?

It couldn’t be that Gu Xiu has an Omega fiancée at home and another Omega lover in a hotel apartment, could it?

Jin Chenhan’s brow was tightly furrowed.

Gu Xiu was really not familiar with the ABO world and didn’t know what was wrong with his superior. In any case, it was most likely that he had smelled an unusual scent on him?

He tried his best to guess, his eyelids trembled a few times, and his usually cold tone had a hint of obvious embarrassment. “Uh, I’ve been too busy lately. I thought I hadn’t sweated, so I haven’t taken a shower these past two days…”

That’s not right either. Not being clean might lead to an increase in pheromone concentration, but how could an Alpha be so sweet?

Jin Chenhan was silent for a moment, his complicated gaze roaming over him. He couldn’t figure it out. In the end, he only said, “You can get off work early today. Go home and have a good rest. By the way, today is Friday… I wish you a happy weekend in advance.”

“Ah, thank you, Mr. Jin.”

Gu Xiu was flattered. He packed his things, and finally, he glanced at Jin Chenhan, who had returned to the CEO’s office, and left the company.

Walking on the bustling street, the night wind couldn’t blow away his exhaustion. 007 popped out again, adding insult to injury: 【Jiujiu! Tonight is ‘Key Plot Point 1’. Your mother said she’s coming to see you this weekend, so you have no choice but to go back to your and the protagonist shou’s marital home. The next day is the weekend. Before your mother arrives, the protagonist shou goes into heat first!】

【You will naturally run away on the spot, leaving him alone at home to get through the painful heat period with inhibitors.】

Gu Xiu temporarily changed his route to the marital home, a large penthouse in a high-end residential complex. The house was brightly lit, and the faint smell of food wafted out.

According to the novel’s description, Gu Xiu would occasionally come back in the past, usually on a Friday after work when he had nothing to do, out of boredom or out of guilt towards the protagonist shou.

The protagonist shou, on the other hand, cherished this uncertain opportunity to meet. Each time, he would prepare a meal in advance, trying his best to please him.

“Gu Xiu!” a handsome young man came over to greet the latecomer, and said in surprise, “You’re back. Have you eaten? I just happened to have cooked a lot.”

007 introduced: 【This is the protagonist shou, Lin Zijun. He’s just an ordinary C-rank Omega, inferior to you in every aspect. But as for pheromone compatibility, this kind of thing is as unreasonable as the love between Betas～】

Without 007’s words, Gu Xiu could already feel it with extreme intensity.

In fact, Lin Zijun’s appearance could only be described as handsome, but in his eyes, he was incredibly beautiful and charming. He also smelled an indescribable floral scent, which was even more tempting than the most delicious food.

This was very terrifying.

Fortunately, he was a straight man and would never be attracted to a man. He immediately realized that he was being influenced by pheromones.

He quickly took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and Lin Zijun.

A hint of sadness quickly flashed in Lin Zijun’s eyes. He tried his best to hide his emotions, but unfortunately, he was not very good at it. He lowered his head with an embarrassed smile and also took a step back, making the atmosphere between the two of them instantly very awkward.

【Very good, very good!】 As a system, 007 was a bystander, excited on its own. 【Jiujiu, you have to be cold to him, hurt him, and try your best to send yourself to the crematorium!】

Gu Xiu warily walked along the wall, glanced at the dazzling array of dishes on the table from a distance, his cold eyes full of disgust. “You can eat by yourself. I’m very tired from working overtime. I’m going to bed first.”

Lin Zijun pursed his lips in grievance. “I made it especially for you. I also prepared red wine. Let’s have a drink together.”

“Lin Zijun,” Gu Xiu rubbed his temples. “Don’t you just want me to mark you? I’ll say it again, impossible. I’m only here today to deal with Mom. Who knows when she’ll come over…”

Lin Zijun was still looking at him eagerly. “Then, can you give me a temporary mark tonight? So Mom will know that our relationship is very good…”

Gu Xiu’s eyes narrowed. “Stop dreaming. I don’t like you. It’s impossible for me to mark you. Lin Zijun, can’t you be a little more sober?”

But Lin Zijun was confused. “Our compatibility is 100%. Aren’t we destined to be together from birth?”

Their concepts were completely different. There was no point in saying more. Gu Xiu closed his mouth and left the pitiful Omega to return to his own room.

Lin Zijun had been living in this high-end, large penthouse marital home for a long time. Gu Xiu would stay in the guest room every time he came over.

After closing the door, Gu Xiu quickly locked it and opened all the windows to ventilate and dissipate Lin Zijun’s pheromones.

Then he stripped himself naked, threw his clothes in a basin to soak, and then he quickly went into the bathroom, frantically scrubbing himself to get rid of the smell.

After being a work robot for many days, he finally started to follow the emotional line today. He stood under the shower and recovered for a while. His exquisite eyes were washed by the clear water and finally became lively.

【Holy shit, this is too insidious. Your Jinjiang gay world plus ABO elements… is really no joke.】 He paused for a few seconds before he remembered to ask, 【Uh, 007, can you chat with me for a while?】

007 received the order and eagerly flew out, spinning around excitedly. 【I’m here, I’m here! Jiujiu, you used to ask me to shut down when you were taking a shower…】

【Why?】 Gu Xiu reacted after he asked. 【Mm, you’re indeed a little different from a normal system, like a living person… It’s fine. Anyway, you’re not a real person, and I’m a straight man. It’s fine even if you see me. And, you shouldn’t shut down casually. I have a feeling that this world is very dangerous.】

The ball of light nodded obediently and didn’t say a word.

【Although Lin Zijun is an Omega, he’s also a male,】 Gu Xiu said with lingering fear while scrubbing himself. 【Fortunately, I’m a straight man.】

007: 【…………Mm.】

Gu Xiu turned off the water and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. 【Didn’t you say you’d chat with me? You usually talk so much. Why are you only saying ‘mm’ now? I just praised you for being like a person.】

007, who had seen through everything, chose to be silent: 【…】

In the middle of the night, Lin Zijun’s heat period came suddenly and fiercely.

Even though Gu Xiu was prepared in advance, when he woke up in the morning, he still had a helpless feeling of drowning and being unable to breathe.

Lin Zijun’s pheromones were continuously being released, filling the master bedroom, and then flowing and seeping into the living room, the other rooms, and even the guest room, which was the farthest away.

Gu Xiu had locked the door, but there were still gaps between the door and the frame.

“Gu, Gu Xiu…” Lin Zijun’s weak and pleading voice came from outside the door. “I’m in heat…”

【Damn it!】 Gu Xiu couldn’t help but curse. 【I was wondering why it was so strong! How did he get to my door?】

007 anxiously reminded, 【Jiujiu, you have to get out of here quickly!】

But Lin Zijun was right outside the door.

Gu Xiu was afraid that as soon as he opened the door, he would be attacked by the pheromones and immediately enter his heat period, losing his rationality like this Omega.

He was playing a cold and ascetic persona, but it was his first time being an Alpha. He had no experience in dealing with a heat period and didn’t know if he could control himself.

“I’m so hot, Gu Xiu. I’m so uncomfortable. Mark me…” Lin Zijun’s voice was filled with tears as he begged from outside the door. “Mom will be here soon… you’ll have to mark me sooner or later. Isn’t it good for us to be together earlier? I’m so uncomfortable… wuwu.”

Just as Gu Xiu was considering whether to open the door and rush out.

【Holy shit…】 He only had time to curse in a low voice before Gu Xiu slid down along the door panel.

His body was crazily swelling and heating up, rapidly drying up the moisture in his body, and he desperately needed the sweet liquid from another person’s body to fill it.

He used all his strength to maintain his rationality, his back against the door, and gritted his teeth and shouted, “Lin Zijun, go back to your own room!”

Lin Zijun was already enslaved by his heat period and couldn’t listen to anything. He just kept repeating, “Gu Xiu, I beg you…”

Gu Xiu could only call the system: 【007, I think I’m in heat too!】

007: 【There’s no other way. You absolutely can’t go out now… By the way, quick, go and get an inhibitor!】

Gu Xiu listened to the demonic crying and pleading outside, clicked his tongue in annoyance, and chose to respond to Lin Zijun first. “You should go and get an inhibitor. I won’t mark you. Do you want to burn your brain?”

“I did, I did…” Lin Zijun sobbed. “But, your pheromones, I can smell a little… can you give me a little more? I beg you…”

Their key confrontation had just begun. This first plot point was just to be cold and hurt Lin Zijun. It was impossible for them to face such an unsolvable situation. The description in the novel was too brief. As a task-taker, Gu Xiu used his own thinking to make up for the loopholes in the logic chain. He estimated that Lin Zijun probably couldn’t get over this psychological hurdle.

It was like a person in an extremely dangerous situation could burst out with amazing willpower and be reborn from a desperate situation. But if a helping hand was right in front of him, he would naturally seek help and not even believe that he could save himself.

“Lin Zijun, you can get through this on your own…” Gu Xiu panted and murmured, “The reason why humans are humans is because they can control their primitive instincts. Even in studying and working, they have to fight against their innate laziness…”

Gu Xiu held his head. He didn’t know what he had said. He was both hot and annoyed. “It shouldn’t be like this between us. I don’t like you, and you don’t like me. It’s all the 100% compatible pheromones that are causing trouble. If you’re controlled by it like this, what’s the difference between you and an animal?”

Gu Xiu rummaged through his memory. He didn’t know where he had seen some of these sentences, but they were quite in line with this Jinjiang world.

“Love is when the superior bows his head, the strong is gentle, the mad is restrained, and the cowardly is brave…”

“True love can overcome instinct.”

“Sooner or later, you will meet it.”

Lin Zijun was stunned.

The strong and surging pheromones and instinctive desires instantly receded like a tide, and left some different traces on the beach.

The strong influence of the pheromones had disappeared, but his heart was pounding rapidly under the pull of another kind of palpitation.

“I… Gu Xiu… are you okay?” Lin Zijun’s voice returned to normal, and he calmly asked Gu Xiu in the bedroom. “You can’t take any more inhibitors. Your physical condition is worse than mine. Give me a temporary mark. It’s not for anything else, it’s for you…”

Gu Xiu said coldly, “Get lost! Don’t mind me!”

“No… you should open the door,” Lin Zijun was relentless and pounded on the door. “Otherwise, I’ll pick the lock!”

“You dare!” Gu Xiu gritted his teeth. “Lin Zijun! You dare to disobey my words?”

Lin Zijun’s anxious voice was tinged with a sob. “Didn’t you say that love is when the cowardly is brave? You’re right. I can’t be a coward anymore.”

Gu Xiu: “…?”

【Oh, it’s fine,】 the small silver ball of light swayed, looking like an experienced person. 【If the plot doesn’t go wrong, it’s an accident. But it’s not a big problem. You still have many chances to make the protagonist shou give up.】

Gu Xiu pushed this useless system away, tried to keep as much distance as possible from the main door, and stumbled onto the bed.

The first heat period he had ever experienced was like a bamboo breaking through. He had no experience of resisting it, and his body was so uncomfortable that he curled up, like a shrimp being roasted on a charcoal fire. His face was covered in hot and damp sweat, his mouth was slightly open, and his soft black hair was wet in strands.

Generally speaking, 007 would have been forced to shut down by now. But this was an ABO world, and special circumstances required special treatment.

【Jiujiu, are you okay? Are you really in heat?】 007 reacted and anxiously urged, 【Jiujiu, Jiujiu! Quick, get an inhibitor!】

Gu Xiu only felt an evil fire spreading throughout his body. His uncontrollable thoughts were all running out, to capture his 100% compatible Omega, and to create all sorts of colorful and sensual fantasies.

But Lin Zijun was still talking endlessly outside the door, rubbing his rationality and tempting his beastly nature.

He closed his eyes and tightly gripped the bedsheet. 【Shut up! Stop bothering me…】

The small silver ball of light was so anxious that it spun around.

Suddenly.

Gu Xiu was dumbfounded and looked at the gray-eyed young man who had appeared out of thin air. “You…”

“Oh, don’t ask,” 007, who had put on a human skin, was in a panic, rummaging through the cabinets. He finally found a new box of inhibitors from the bedside table. “I’ve got it, I’ve got it…”

007 held the syringe with trembling hands, walked up to the shocked Gu Xiu, grabbed his arm, and with a determined heart, he stabbed it in!

Gu Xiu let out a light “hiss” in pain, but his eyes, which were fixed on 007’s face, did not move away. He said in a daze, “Your eyes, how…”

“When I was creating the skin, I stole a little bit of data from the protagonist gong. It’s very beautiful, right?” 007’s expression was modest, and he made up a lie. “This human skin, I bought it with my points～～”

Gu Xiu’s suspicious gaze looked him up and down again and again, so much so that his eyes dodged, he coughed, and pretended to be busy.

Gu Xiu: “…”

This day was Saturday. Jin Chenhan had gone to the hospital early in the morning.

His busy work had worsened his already unstable mental power state, and the frequency of his mental power guidance had gradually increased, becoming once a month.

While waiting for Doctor Hou to prepare the equipment, he still couldn’t put down his work. He first checked a batch of work documents, and then he made a video call to his temporary secretary, Gu Xiu.

“Mr. Jin, please concentrate,” Doctor Hou kindly reminded. “When you’re undergoing mental power guidance, you should temporarily put your work aside.”

Jin Chenhan’s brow was tightly furrowed. “So I have to hand over my work to my secretary.”

Doctor Hou shook his head helplessly and retreated to the side with the guidance helmet. “Alright, then you should hurry up.”

The second time he called, the video call finally connected.

Jin Chenhan got straight to the point. “Gu Xiu, are you up? You shouldn’t be busy now… help me check this contract, and then call Chairman Lu and explain it to him…”

The phone screen was swaying. He didn’t know what Gu Xiu was doing. Jin Chenhan suddenly heard a suppressed gasp and suddenly fell silent.

Gu Xiu appeared on the screen, his face abnormally red, and his clear voice also became hoarse. “Mm, I’m listening, Mr. Jin. You can speak.”

Jin Chenhan continued, “Chairman Lu is old…”

“Gu Xiu!”

The two voices, inside and outside the phone, overlapped.

“…Sorry,” seeing Jin Chenhan frown, Gu Xiu immediately apologized and walked a few steps away with his phone. “It’s fine. You can continue.”

Jin Chenhan’s brow was still furrowed.

The “Gu Xiu” just now was clearly a male voice, but the tone was sweet and soft, sounding like an Omega.

Gu Xiu let the phone’s camera take a close-up of his face, blocking his superior’s prying gaze.

And outside the camera, he pushed the third inhibitor to the end and couldn’t help but gasp. His brow also furrowed from enduring the pain.

The heat period was temporarily suppressed, but his face was still flushed, and his breathing was rapid.

Jin Chenhan took in all his abnormalities, was silent again and again, and only then did he say, “If you’re very busy, we can talk later.”

“Okay, Mr. Jin… I’m not busy… it’s just that, Mr., Mr. Jin…” Gu Xiu panted, his voice intermittent, which made him seem a little pitiful when he made a request. “Next time, can you, not make a video call?”

“…” Jin Chenhan was silent.

He was naturally not interested in his subordinate’s private life. He only made a video call for higher work efficiency.

But now.

Logically, he should have politely hung up the video call the moment he sensed that something was wrong. But he looked at Gu Xiu’s flushed face, his completely gone cold temperament, and his heart itched. He couldn’t help but ask knowingly, “Why not? Are you in heat? Don’t you have a fiancée?”

After a complete mark between an AO, as long as they had sex occasionally, they could maintain a few months of stable pheromones and mental power, and both sides would no longer be troubled by the time bomb-like heat period.

Now, he couldn’t let the protagonist gong know that the two of them were together in body but not in spirit, and that they hadn’t even had a temporary mark.

The protagonist gong’s inner struggle and the forbidden secret love were the most fascinating parts of this novel. When it came to the complete mark, the protagonist gong would violate ethics and morals, scolding himself while uncontrollably sleeping with someone else’s wife. It wasn’t until the last step that he would discover the protagonist shou’s never-before-opened reproductive cavity.

Now, this video couldn’t be turned off. Otherwise, with Jin Chenhan’s intelligence, he would definitely be suspicious in advance.

Gu Xiu could only let his superior admire his flushed face, try to calm his breathing, and slowly say, “No, I’m just exercising.”

Jin Chenhan: “…”

“Exercising in the morning?”

Gu Xiu’s face was rosy, and his head was covered in hot sweat. But his lowered eyes still exuded a sense of forbearance and asceticism. He seemed to be enduring something and only let out a short “mm.”

His Adam’s apple, with the small mole next to it, rolled gently, containing countless suggestive and unspoken meanings.

Jin Chenhan was silent. He couldn’t help but grip his phone tightly, his eyes fixed on the screen, trying to distinguish if the background behind him was a bedroom or a hotel, and if there was a beautiful Omega by his side.

“Mr. Jin!” Doctor Hou shouted anxiously. “Please calm down. Don’t make any more calls! Your mental power has already triggered an alarm!”
