Chapter 44: What’s Wrong with a Spoiled Beta 5
The night was as still as water, and the entire Chu family estate was exceptionally quiet.
Only one room was brightly lit, with faint, low, sexy gasps, suppressed and restrained. Shu He had stood up after Chu Chuanbai had spoken, a completely subconscious action. He stood there, nervous and at a loss, looking at the tall man under the light.
The Alpha had completely released his pheromones.
But there was no one in the room who could soothe him, only a little Beta who couldn’t smell any pheromone seduction, watching him with pure and worried eyes, so noble and beautiful that it would be a sin to even defile him.
Chu Chuanbai saw his current appearance in those round almond eyes, still calm and composed.
His eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and let out a low gasp, as if in some kind of symptom. His well-defined, pale hands frantically pressed against the silver cane by his side.
He pressed it so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, full of power.
Skin hunger was a psychological illness, so no matter how many sticky thoughts rose and fell in his heart, uncontrollably, but physiologically, on the outside, his expression was still as gentle and sincere as ever, just like this very proper suit. He panted slightly, and even had the heart to ask Shu He, “Can you help me?”
His voice was extremely hoarse.
With an unnoticeable breathy sound, as if he were still calm, but Shu He had already seen that his hand, which was pressing on the cane, was so tight it was as if it was about to be injured.
“How can I help you?” Shu He’s mind was buzzing. It was the first time he had seen someone have an attack. He was as dazed as a stupid cat biting its own tail. “With medicine? Do you have medicine? I don’t have that kind of medicine here…”
“It’s not that troublesome.”
Chu Chuanbai held out his hand and smiled. “Just let me hold it.”
The room was quiet for a moment.
Chu Chuanbai looked up, the veins on his temples prominent, but his gaze towards him was still gentlemanly. This outstretched hand was large and slender, as if inviting him.
Shu He had never heard of any skin hunger or the like.
He also didn’t know how a disease could be relieved by touching skin. Just holding hands, could it be relieved? He was a little hesitant, but he didn’t dare to hesitate for too long, because Chu Chuanbai looked really uncomfortable. After three or five seconds of hesitation, Shu He still placed his hand in Chu Chuanbai’s palm.
“Like this…”
His hand was so hot. Shu He was startled. Chu Chuanbai did not give him a chance to regret and retreat, and directly held this slender, beautiful hand tightly.
“Yes.”
He seemed to have really eased a lot. At least his slightly furrowed brow had relaxed. Shu He was held by him, and after thinking for a moment, he reached out his other hand to touch the back of his hand. “How long do I have to touch it? Your hand is so hot, I’m a little hot.”
Shangyu City was extremely hot. Even with the air conditioning on in the entire room, the hands that were held together would inevitably produce friction and heat.
Chu Chuanbai looked up at the boy’s hand, which was on the back of his.
Under the light, this hand was as pale as a flawless piece of jade, the fingertips a clear pink, and the little crescent on his nails was also very obvious.
He didn’t know what he was thinking, but Chu Chuanbai’s expression became even more sincere. The release of his pheromones made him slowly narrow his eyes, and he said gently, “I’m not sure how long it will take to get better, but don’t worry, I’ll have someone send me medicine.”
After speaking, he opened his terminal and had the butler send him medicine, then looked up and watched the boy look down at him.
Under the light, the boy’s figure was slender, and he was wearing a long-sleeved pajama set, very loose, with his pale collarbone exposed. He tilted his head to look at Chu Chuanbai, his long, slender eyelashes fluttering unconsciously, like the wings of a butterfly, thin and fragile.
If he were an Omega…
Now in the room, it would be two people who were out of control.
Chu Chuanbai squeezed his hand. “Come and sit.”
Shu He nodded softly, pursed his dimples, and sat down next to Chu Chuanbai. This way, he wouldn’t have to keep his hand raised to hold it, and he could also relax a lot.
“You should carry medicine with you in the future.”
Shu He pouted and pointed. “Otherwise, what will you do next time? This time, you just happened to run into me. If you ran into someone else, they would think you’re a big pervert.”
Chu Chuanbai: “They won’t.”
Shu He lifted his sharp chin. “Who says they won’t? This kind of illness must be very niche. I’ve never even heard of it. If you tell someone you need to hold hands to relieve your symptoms, they’ll definitely…”
“I mean, if I have an attack, I’ll endure it. No one will know, and I won’t ask anyone else for help. Besides, besides you and the doctor, no one else knows I have this strange illness.”
Shu He was stunned for a moment.
“Then you…”
“I’m asking you because I trust you. And with our relationship, isn’t it normal to do these things?” As if he knew what Shu He was going to ask, Chu Chuanbai rubbed his fingertips and said gently, “I’m your fiancé. We’re going to get married in the future. It’s normal to get to know each other a little better and be a little closer now.”
Shu He: OoO
Didn’t he say before that the marriage certificate didn’t count?
Why is the villain still like this…
Shu He looked at Chu Chuanbai in a daze. This was an arranged marriage. According to the description of Chu Chuanbai in the plot, Chu Chuanbai would not have obediently accepted this marriage.
And he probably wouldn’t have taken him in at the Chu residence.
Thinking of this, Shu He hesitated for a moment, planning to talk to Chu Chuanbai again. Chu Chuanbai suddenly looked at the door, and the butler’s voice came from outside. “Sir, the medicine has been delivered.”
Shu He puffed out his cheeks and stood up. “I’ll go get it for you…”
“I can’t leave you.” When Shu He’s eyes widened, Chu Chuanbai slowly added, “If I don’t hold your hand for a second, I’ll feel uncomfortable. Let’s go together.”
He stood up like a gentleman, held Shu He’s hand, and opened the door. When the butler handed him the medicine, his sharp eyes saw their tightly held hands and quickly looked away.
Hey! He can’t even bear to let go of his hand for these few steps. It seems the master has really fallen for him.
Little couple.
After closing the door, Chu Chuanbai directly ate a pill without drinking water. Shu He asked how long it would take for the medicine to take effect, and he said gently, about half an hour.
Half an hour…
He was so hot.
Shu He breathed a couple of times and found that his hand was a little red from being held. Chu Chuanbai was not just holding it, he was also rubbing it, rubbing his fingertips and his palm. His large hand completely enveloped his, squeezing and clinging.
Occasionally, he would stare at his hand with concentration, his gaze not exactly gentlemanly, because it was very hot, as if it was going to burn a hole in his skin, making him feel as if his whole body was covered in something sticky, very uncomfortable.
The scorching heat in his palm was connected to his heart, so hot that Shu He’s cheeks were a little flushed. He let out a small breath and chatted with the system, which was not blocked. From his side, Chu Chuanbai’s voice suddenly came. “How did Chuanting provoke you today?”
Shu He stopped chatting with the system about whether Chu Chuanbai was pretending or not and turned his head to look at him with hesitation.
According to the plot, the villain at this time would call him “Chuanting,” but in his heart, he was very disdainful of the protagonist.
How should he answer…
Shu He thought for a moment, but still couldn’t think of a reasonable grudge, so he said vaguely, “We just had a little conflict at the banquet. I hate him.”
Chu Chuanbai lowered his eyes, and hearing this, he smiled sincerely. “Mm, I’ll protect you. If you run into him again in the future, you don’t have to endure it. You can deal with him however you want.”
He paused, as if he thought this would scare the innocent little Beta, and then added, as if to cover it up, “Although he’s my half-brother, we’re not actually close and don’t interact much.”
Shu He sat on the edge of the sofa, swinging his legs. “I really hate him…”
Chu Chuanbai nodded. “I know.”
“So can you send me to the military academy?” Shu He looked at Chu Chuanbai with pleading eyes. Chu Chuanbai’s smile immediately faded a little, and he looked up at his clear, clean almond eyes.
“I can’t get into the Alpha military academy that Chu Chuanting is in. I’m a Beta. Can you help me?” Shu He said. “I want to provoke him and make him unhappy.”
Chu Chuanbai stared at him for a moment, his voice slow. “You hate him that much?”
“Yes, yes.”
Two villains are on the same side and should help each other.
But Chu Chuanbai didn’t answer yes or no for a long time. He lowered his head and gently rubbed the fragile blood vessel on Shu He’s wrist with his rough thumb. He rubbed it so lightly, but this pale skin still turned red, as if it had been kissed for a long time.
—No matter how useless Chu Chuanting is, he’s still an Alpha.
And Shu He is a Beta.
And a fragile, innocent Beta.
After a moment, Chu Chuanbai smiled and let go of Shu He’s hand, which had been rubbed until it was hot and red. Without contact, the cold air in the room immediately clung to his skin, dispelling the slightly numb heat all over his body. Shu He let out a soft, hot breath and looked up at the rising Chu Chuanbai with moist eyes.
“The medicine has taken effect. Thank you for tonight.” Chu Chuanbai did not directly answer the matter of the military academy. He held the straight silver cane in his hand and said, “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”
Shu He pouted. “Oh.”
A traitor has appeared in the villain camp!
He mumbled a couple of words, but he didn’t really blame Chu Chuanbai. Although they were both villains, everyone had their own duties, and there was no rule that they had to help each other. Shu He turned his head, picked up the medicine he had dropped, and followed his slightly limping steps to the door, and said in a small voice, “Medicine.”
Chu Chuanbai turned back, first glancing at the little white medicine bottle, then looking up at him, his voice gentle. “Can you keep it for me? I often forget to bring it myself.”
Shu He’s eyes widened. “But I’m not with you usually…”
“My fault. Then from tomorrow on, can I take you with me every day?” Chu Chuanbai’s light-colored eyes looked at Shu He. “You’re bored at home all day. Although it’s not very interesting to be with me, at least you can learn how to manage a company.”
Shu He still stuffed the medicine into his hand.
“No, I’m very busy too.”
Everyone was working hard to make the protagonist rise. Being together all the time would seriously slow down the progress.
Shu He puffed out his cheeks, decided to find another way into the Alpha military academy, and advance on two fronts.
Online dating and reality, one in each hand.
“I’m going to rest.” Shu He reached out to close the door, leaving only his refined little face peeking out to say to Chu Chuanbai, “You should go to bed early too, otherwise you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”
Chu Chuanbai held the medicine in his hand.
He used the hand that had held Shu He’s for forty or fifty minutes. The palm was still scorching, with the lingering touch of the boy’s soft skin. He slowly tightened his palm, and in the end, still said in a gentle voice, “Alright, good night.”
“Good night.”
“…”
Shu He turned the room temperature down even lower.
Then he curled up in bed, rubbed his now extra-sensitive wrist, and looked at his terminal messages.
Just as he was helping the villain treat his illness, the protagonist finally replied. He had replied with a question mark.
Then, another new message: 【Do you call everyone ‘baby’?】
Shu He cupped his cheeks, apologized for his abruptness, and then obediently replied: 【No, I made a mistake.】
Chu Chuanting: 【Then do you know who I am?】
This reply was very crucial and was related to whether he could successfully have an online relationship.
Shu He seriously puffed out his cheeks, thought for a moment, and replied cautiously: 【Of course I know. You’re Chu Chuanting, a particularly handsome Alpha.】
Chu Chuanting: 【?】
Chu Chuanting: 【Today.】
Chu Chuanting: 【What do you mean?】
Shu He didn’t know that Chu Chuanting hadn’t seen his friend request.
Seeing this message, he frowned in confusion. 【That’s, that’s what I mean. Do you agree or not?】
The other person’s reply was even more baffling. 【Agree to what?】
Shu He: 【When I added you, didn’t you see the note?】
Chu Chuanting: 【When did you add me?】
Chu Chuanting suddenly withdrew a message.
Chu Chuanting sent a voice message.
