Blur The Lines (4)

After turning on the light, Fu Yue tried to play it cool.

Unfortunately, he was not a talented actor.

With a movement as stiff as a robot, Fu Yue made an effort to take off his jacket while attempting to crack a joke to lighten the atmosphere. His eyes fixed awkwardly on the wooden hanger stand as if it were the most interesting thing in the whole world.

"Haha… You are here already? Damn, you don't even take a shower!"

His joke landed and the room immediately plunged into silence.

Fu Yue painfully shut his eyes, wishing to drill himself into the crack of the earth.

He mentally pulled his hair while screaming.

Pei! What moon? You are simply an idiot! An idiot!

[A/N: The Yue in Fu Yue means moon.]

Creak.

Fu Yue flinched at the creaking noise made by the bed. His heart dropped to the floor.

Listening to the faint footsteps coming from behind, he involuntarily held his breath due to nervousness.

H, he is coming. What should I do?!

Fu Yue's violet eyes shook. Due to the lack of oxygen, he reflexively took a big gulp of air into his lungs and instantly regretted doing so.

Wei Chen's cool and clean pheromones have long permeated the air drilling into every corner of the room.

At the moment, it was akin to standing in the middle of snow-covered plains.

Except that it was not biting cold.

Just as he was distracted by Wei Chen's pheromones, a long shadow fell on top of him.

Fu Yue didn't even have the time to turn around when he was suddenly hugged tightly from behind.

His body was pulled into a warm embrace by a pair of strong arms. A sturdy body was pressed against his back.

Wei Chen's thick pheromones attacked his nostrils while soft strands of black hair tickled his neck as the other person buried his face into the crook of his neck.

Fu Yue then heard the sound of Wei Chen taking a deep breath before releasing a comfortable sigh.

Hot breath caressed his skin causing a shiver to run down his spine.

Fu Yue's heart was about to leap out of the ribcage. His first instinct was to struggle but when Wei Chen's whisper reached his ears, he suddenly forgot what he was trying to do.

"... What took you so long?"

His deep voice which was full of grievance caused Fu Yue to freeze.

Wait, did he hear that right?

Is his Captain feeling aggrieved right now???

Just because he arrived 5 minutes later than him???

Fu Yue's mouth hung open due to this discovery. He felt like after all of this passed, he could never look at Wei Chen in the same way ever again…

Seeing that Fu Yue didn't answer him, Wei Chen raised his head. His eyes slightly narrowed, "So you would rather spend time with others than me?"

Catching the gloominess in his voice, Fu Yue immediately snapped back to his senses. Subconsciously recalling the Doctor's words telling him not to make Wei Chen angry, he hastily explained, "Wouldn't it be too weird if we both were to rush upstairs at the same time?"

Although his explanation sounded reasonable, Wei Chen was not going to let this matter slide. He reminded him, "We live right next to each other."

So it is only right for us to go upstairs together. You are simply thinking too much.

Understanding his underlying meaning, the corner of Fu Yue's lips twitched, "Should I remind you that you are a Dominant Alpha in a susceptible period and there is me, who is a Dominant Omega? By all means, I should have moved out, away from you!"

Hearing this, Wei Chen's body became taut, he tightened his grasp on Fu Yue and his voice sharpened, "... You are thinking of leaving me?"

Uh oh. Wrong choice.

Without having someone to warn him about the impending danger, Fu Yue was fully aware of the situation he was going to be in if he were to say yes. He quickly corrected himself, "Mistake, mistake! What I mean is that we should have moved in together!"

Only after blurting out these absurd words in haste did Fu Yue realize that he had just dug his own grave.

''Ah, n–''

Before he could even fix himself, Wei Chen cut in with undisguised joy in his voice, "Are you serious?"

Fu Yue bit his tongue, hurriedly swallowing the word 'no' back into his stomach.

Stiffly glancing to the side only to meet Wei Chen's bright blue eyes, Fu Yue no longer dared to pour cold water on the other man. Biting his lower lip, he slowly nodded his head.

After receiving a confirmation from Fu Yue, Wei Chen's mood miraculously lifted. A small smile played at the corner of his lips painting a picture of the end of winter with the arrival of spring. No one would have associated this Wei Chen with a moody and volatile Dominant Alpha in a susceptible period that was on the verge of erupting just a few moments ago.

And just like that Fu Yue found himself hugging his head while crouching inside the bathroom some time later.

His big brother would break his legs if he were to know this.

Fu Yue still didn't know why he was so bothered by Wei Chen's presence so much to the point of malfunctioning. Had the person in question been replaced with another person he wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

Was their 100 % match rate at fault or…

Thinking of another possibility, Fu Yue looked at the ceiling and blew his front bang in frustration.

Whatever. Let's talk after Wei Chen is back to normal.

Although he wished to camp in the bathroom, it was not a good idea to leave Wei Chen alone for too long.

He read on the internet that some Alphas during this period would suffer from separation anxiety if they were to be away from their partners.

Which explained why Wei Chen's condition was so bad this afternoon.

Taking another deep breath, Fu Yue swung the door open like a brave soldier.

However, after seeing Wei Chen in his dark navy pajamas waiting for him on the bed with a book in his right hand looking as if he was the owner of the room, Fu Yue suddenly had an illusion that his husband was waiting for him to finish his shower before going to sleep together.

This thought just resurfaced and Fu Yue immediately berated himself.

Stop, you are making things more awkward! Just think of him as a patient! A patient!

Clearing his throat, Fu Yue asked, ''Captain, what are you reading?''

Wei Chen tore his gaze away from the page to look at the person opposite him. In the next second, however, his breath was taken away by the sight he was witnessing.

Fu Yue has always dressed up meticulously from head to toe. It was not overdone, just the right amount which gave the impression that he looked good all the time, effortlessly handsome.

For convenience, however, he always had his hair up. Wei Chen only saw him with his hair down this morning which left him breathless.

At this moment, with his long silver hair cascaded down his shoulders, it gave him a soft and graceful charm unlike his usual sunny handsome looks. The black silk pajamas made a contrast against his snow-white skin adding another layer of seductive appearance.

Wei Chen hurriedly shifted his eyes downward back to focus on the content of the book he was holding. Still, remembering that he was being asked, he replied in a low voice, ''Buddhist scriptures.''

Fu Yue's eyes widened in shock. The answer was so surprising that he was no longer feeling awkward.

Climbing onto the bed, and moving closer to the other person, he reconfirmed with his own eyes. Upon seeing that Wei Chen didn't lie to him, he gave him two thumb-ups.

He sincerely praised, ''No wonder! During the past 6 years in this toxic industry, you have always remained calm and collected!''

Wei Chen who was trying to empty his mind because of something entirely different, slightly pursed his lips, neither accepting nor denying his praise.

After being soothed by Fu Yue's pheromones, his chaotic mind cleared up. He then realized that he was being a bother to Fu Yue.

He knew that Fu Yue was being uncomfortable with this arrangement and yet, he still came back and waited for him on the bed.

He thought he could bear it by just smelling the scent from his clothes but he overestimated himself.

The realization of being left by himself to go through this without him was horrible. It took a great deal not to rush to the room next door like the previous night.

He didn't want to make another mistake.

He thought he would get better after seeing his face but it was another kind of torture.

He wanted to touch him and smeared his pheromones all over him so that the world knew that he was his.

Of course, Wei Chen was disgusted with himself for having such thoughts but it was hard to reign his instincts in.

While he was trying hard to control himself, Fu Yue just had to hug him and leave behind those misleading words breaking whatever he was tying himself down to.

This was the first time he was annoyed by being invited to do an interview.

All he wanted was to get back to the base and be with him alone behind the closed door away from the prying eyes of others.

It took a few minutes for Fu Yue to come into the room but to him, it felt like years.

Afterward, having him in his arms, Wei Chen never felt more at ease in his entire life.

''Today, you are really ruthless.''

Wei Chen's train of thoughts was interrupted by Fu Yue's chuckle. At an arm's length, Fu Yue was lying sideways facing him with a playful smile on his face.

Having the game topic being brought up, Wei Chen found himself relaxed. A smile found its way to his handsome face, he gave a small shake of his head, ''You are one to talk.''

Fu Yue wrinkled his nose, "I only bullied the middle road." However, after seeing Wei Chen give him a look, he added, "At least in the early game unlike you who terrorized the whole map ever since the beginning!"

Wei Chen raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this the reason why I am your idol?"

It took Fu Yue a few seconds to figure out what Wei Chen was referring to.

Recalling his dark history with Number 009, Fu Yue's face hardened.

At that time, he met horrible junglers one after another causing him to lose patience and ending up bad-mouthing the jungle role in front of the jungle king Silence himself.

Afterward, in an attempt to fix his mistake, he proudly proclaimed that Silence was his favorite jungler in front of Silence himself.

And at the end, he mistakenly thought that the other person was asking him out when in fact, he was asking him to be his teammate...

Fu Yue covered his face with his free hand and groaned, "... Can't you just erase it from your memory?"

Wei Chen chuckled, "No."

Fu Yue removed the hand from his face and was about to say something when Wei Chen continued in a gentle voice, "If possible, I want to remember everything about you even in old age."

After these words fell, no one spoke.

Fu Yue turned to lie in another direction with his back facing Wei Chen and pulling the blanket all the way to his chin.

He spoke without looking back, "I am going to sleep now. Good night."

Wei Chen briefly glanced at the clock on the nightstand displaying the number 08:45 pm.

Putting the book away, he turned off the light and whispered, "Good night."

The room plunged into darkness. Wei Chen was about to close his eyes when he suddenly felt the gentle touch of another pheromone slowly enveloping him causing him to pause.

Turning his head to the side to stare at that faint silhouette in the dark, a smile appeared on Wei Chen's face.

Pheromones don't have a physical form but one could feel what they are trying to convey.

At this time, the woody pheromones that are intertwined with his own are trying to appease, and…

Accept him.
