AM: Chapter 83

There weren’t many cars on the street late at night. Uncle Zhong soon sent Pei Shaoze and Cheng Xia back to the villa. The car stopped downstairs and Pei Shaoze glanced at his watch. “Uncle Zhong, you go home first. I will send Cheng Xia back later.”

Uncle Zhong smiled and nodded. He went to the garage and drove another car to leave.

Cheng Xia had a deep impression of this villa. It was here that he first met Pei Shaoze. At that time, his pheromones were out of control. Pei Shaoze didn’t mark him but gave him an injection of inhibitor to send him home. Unexpectedly, they came back here again.

Cheng Xia made up his mind that he wouldn’t be sent home by Pei Shaoze this time. He was staying tonight. The two of them had been dating for more than half a year and Brother Pei still hadn’t completely marked him. Since the alpha didn’t take the initiative, it didn’t matter if he took the initiative. Today was Brother Pei’s birthday so why not…

Cheng Xia was thinking this when he suddenly heard Pei Shaoze’s gentle voice. “What are you doing? Come inside.”

Pei Shaoze opened the door and thoughtfully leaned over to give Cheng Xia a new pair of slippers. Cheng Xia’s thoughts were interrupted by this person. As he put on his slippers, he asked in a low voice, “Brother Pei, do you live by yourself? There is no housekeeper at home?”

“I don’t like having outsiders at home. I will hire a part-timer if I need it cleaned. Besides, I seldom eat at home. I’ve had to go to a lot of dinners recently.” Pei Shaoze turned on the lights in the house and brought Cheng Xia to the living room.

“I know. The two web dramas you invested in this year have exploded and your profits have increased tenfold. There must be many people inviting you to a meal in hopes of cooperating with you.” Cheng Xia smiled. “Those people are all trying to get on your bandwagon to get a share of the profits, right?”

“Yes.” Pei Shaoze saw the young man’s shining eyes and smiled slightly. He gazed at Cheng Xia very softly. “There are no outsiders here. Now you can tell me, what gift have you prepared?”

“Close your eyes and stretch out your hand.” Cheng Xia placed his hands behind his back and stared up at Pei Shaoze with a bright smile.

“…Yes.” This little guy insisted on keeping people in suspense so Pei Shaoze had to cooperate. He closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand.

A moment later, he noticed that something was placed on the palm of his hand and the young man’s happy voice entered his ears. “You can open your eyes!”

Pei Shaoze opened his eyes and saw that his hand was holding a black car key. The sign on the car key was familiar. Pei Shaoze was stunned for a moment before reacting. “Did you buy me a car?”

Cheng Xia nodded. “Yes. Didn’t you give me a limited edition car model on my birthday? I bought you a sports car of the same model. In this way, we will have couple cars in the future. One big and one small car are still couple cars!”

Cheng Xia saw Pei Shaoze’s complicated expression and couldn’t help asking, “D-Don’t you like it?”

Pei Shaoze was silent for a moment before suddenly taking Cheng Xia’s hand. “Come with me.”

Cheng Xia looked blank as he followed Brother Pei down the stairs around the corner.

The basement was an audio-visual entertainment room and the floor after that was the garage. As a premier mansion in Rong City, the Binjiang Villa could easily accommodate five cars in the lower garage. The moment Cheng Xia arrived in the garage, he saw a familiar sports car parked at the very end.

Under the illumination of the garage lights, the orange car seemed to exude a soft luster. It was the same sports car that Pei Shaoze had given him on his birthday. It was a scaled-up version of the car model.

Cheng Xia stared with wide eyes. “You actually bought this car?!”

He had gone to the 4S store some time ago to prepare the gift. He wanted to buy the same model to give to Brother Pei but the salesperson told him that the orange car had been bought by someone. He hadn’t expected it to be Pei Shaoze who bought the car!

Pei Shaoze led the young man to the car. “I bought this car and originally planned to give it to you at the end of the year as a year-end bonus. In this way, you can keep the car model at home while driving in this big car when you go out. Orange is your favorite color. There are two orange cars, one big and one small, to accompany you and it’s like I am by your side.”

It turned out that Brother Pei had long planned to buy him this car. He gave the model as a birthday present and the real car as a bonus. Brother Pei was really thoughtful.

Cheng Xia’s eyes were hot as he took a step forward and touched the smooth lines of the orange sports car. Then he turned around and asked, “The license plate number is RongA-CX321. CX is the acronym for Cheng Xia and 321 is my birthday… did you specifically select this license plate?”

Pei Shaoze nodded. “Yes.”

Cheng Xia’s face was full of joy. “I bought a car for Brother Pei and the license plate is RongA-P1123. It’s your initial and your birthday! Don’t you feel that our hearts have a tacit exchange of romantic feelings?”

Pei Shaoze, “……”

This really was the case.

Pei Shaoze had long intended to buy this sports car for Cheng Xia. He didn’t expect that Cheng Xia would buy the same car to give to him on his birthday. There was one black and one orange car while the license plates were P1123 and CX321. This was really a ‘couples car.’

The strange tacit understanding made them smile at each other. Pei Shaoze walked up to Cheng Xia and hugged the young man gently. “For this year’s birthday, I sent back all the gifts the company artists gave me. My parents and Shaoyan also wanted to buy me gifts but they were also rejected by me… I only accept what you gave me.”

The man’s arms tightened slightly and Cheng Xia was surrounded by him. Pei Shaoze leaned over to kiss Cheng Xia’s forehead, telling him softly, “Thank you for the birthday gift. I especially like this car. I will drive it myself and no one else will be allowed to sit in it except for you.”

Cheng Xia’s heart warmed and he hugged back the alpha in front of him. “The year-end reward was exposed in advance. I also like it. I will only let you sit in it afterward. Couple cars should have couple seats, okay?”

Pei Shaoze chuckled and nodded. “Yes. I’ll put a label that says ‘Cheng Xia’s exclusive seat’ on the passenger’s seat.”

The temperature of the garage was obviously low but Cheng Xia felt like his body was about to burn up as he listened to Brother Pei’s gentle voice in his ears. His heart was sweet like it was filled with honey. He stayed quietly in Pei Shaoze’s arms for a while before Pei Shaoze noticed that the time was late. “How about I drive this car to take you home and you can give it a test drive?”

Cheng Xia whispered, “Are you so insistent on sending me back?”

Pei Shaoze was startled. “It’s late. If you go back when it’s so late…”

Cheng Xia interrupted Pei Shaoze’s ‘old-fatherly advice’ and turned to walk upstairs. “Your villa is so big and there should be guest rooms. Can I stay here tonight? It’s too cold outside and I don’t want to go back.”

Pei Shaoze thought about it before nodding. “Okay. It really is late and the road is freezing. I’ll send you back tomorrow.”

Cheng Xia thought in his heart, ‘My guess is that you won’t be able to send me back tomorrow.’

Pei Shaoze took Cheng Xia to the second floor and arranged a room for him. This room was directly opposite Pei Shaoze’s bedroom and had its own bathroom. Pei Shaoze gently gave Cheng Xia a good night kiss. “Sleep well.”

Cheng Xia, “……”

This person was really a clear type in the alpha world. An omega was delivered to the door but he had the omega sleep in the guest room. Cheng Xia was puzzled as he took a shower in the bathroom. He didn’t know that Pei Shaoze was also washing with cold water at this time. Cheng Xia staying here overnight was simply like a cute little sheep walking into the wolf’s den and asking, “Can I sleep here?”

It was simply challenging his bottom line. Still, he was rational and restrained this impulse. After all, Cheng Xia was only 19 years old. He was afraid that he would hurt Cheng Xia since he had no experience. Although he had studied the relevant theoretical knowledge and looked for learning videos to see the marking process, but…

Pei Shaoze always felt that Cheng Xia was still very simple. Pei Shaoze was over 10 years older than Cheng Xia mentally. If he rashly took possession of Cheng Xia’s body, wasn’t it like destroying the tender seedling and desecrating the young person? Pei Shaoze frowned slightly, his expression a bit ugly.

As he came out of the shower, there was a knock on the door outside. Pei Shaoze wiped his hair while walking over and opening the door. The young man had just finished taking a shower. His dark hair hung wet over his ears and he was only wrapped in a white bath towel as he stood barefoot at Pei Shaoze’s door.

The bath towel wasn’t big and only covered the key parts. The delicate collarbone and slender legs were exposed. There was still a layer of water vapor on the young man who had just taken a shower. Under the warm light, his skin was white and almost glowing. Cheng Xie raised his head slightly as he looked at Pei Shaoze with those dark, clear eyes. “Brother Pei, I forgot to bring my pajamas.”

Pei Shaoze, “……”

His Adam’s apple rolled violently and he found it hard to look away. Such a Cheng Xia was young, simple, and sexy. He actually didn’t wear anything and ran to an alpha’s bedroom wrapped in a clean bath towel. This was simply the little sheep obediently delivering himself to the wolf’s mouth.

Pei Shaoze’s breathing was suffocated. He turned his head away, his voice a bit hoarse. “Wait a minute, I’ll find a set for you…” He quickly turned to the wardrobe in his bedroom and opened it, pulling out a set of unopened pajamas.

Looking back, he found that Cheng Xia had walked into the bedroom. Pei Shaoze’s hands holding the pajamas slightly stiffened as he watched Cheng Xia walking in front of him. Then the young man’s soft voice rang in his ears. “I’m afraid of the cold. I want to sleep with Brother Pei.”

Pei Shaoze, “…………”

Cheng Xia saw that the alpha was as stiff as a statue and wanted to laugh. Brother Pei was the simplest alpha he had ever seen. Why was Brother Pei still hesitating at this time? Rather than pouncing, he was actually frozen!

Cheng Xia walked up to Pei Shaoze and reached out to hug him.

Pei Shaoze’s ears were red as he spoke in a low voice, “C-Cheng Xia…” His voice was slightly trembling. He was obviously forcibly enduring it.

Cheng Xia hugged him tightly and whispered, “We have been together for over half a year. Haven’t you ever thought about marking me? Is it that you don’t like me that much so you don’t want to give me a lifetime mark? Do you plan to change omegas later?”

The young man threw his body into Pei Shaoze’s arms and the sweet orange pheromones gently brushed over every nerve in his body like a feather. Pei Shaoze’s back stiffened instantly. “Nonsense! How can I not like you?”

Cheng Xia looked up at him. “You really like me?”

Pei Shaoze’s throat moved gently and his voice was extremely low. “Of course.”

Cheng Xia laughed. “Brother Pei, today is your birthday. I want to give you a more special gift.”

He took Pei Shaoze’s hand and placed it on the bath towel. Pei Shaoze found that there was a cute bow tied there. Cheng Xia gently pressed Pei Shaoze’s hand to the bow and said, “I will give myself to you.”

The young man’s eyes were crystal clear. “Do you want this gift?”

Pei Shaoze, “……”

The man’s hands trembled slightly. He knew that he only needed to pull gently and the bath towel wrapped around Cheng Xia would slip off. Then Cheng Xia would completely belong to him. Did he want to open this gift?

The young man’s clear eyes reflected Pei Shaoze. He seriously watched Pei Shaoze, his sincere affection and infatuation almost overflowing from his eyes. Pei Shaoze’s breathing became more and more rapid as the two of them stood in a stalemate for a moment. Eventually, Pei Shaoze couldn’t bear it anymore. His right hand pulled fiercely and instantly threw the white bath towel to the side.

He bent down, picked up Cheng Xia horizontally, and strode to his bed. Cheng Xia gave a shy smile as he leaned close to Pei Shaoze’s ear and whispered, “This time, the temporary mark won’t work. I went to Dr. Qin to prescribe a pheromones release agent. I took it in the shower just now.”

No wonder why the sweet orange scent in the room was becoming richer and more intense. It turned out that Cheng Xia always planned to give himself as a gift to Pei Shaoze.

Pei Shaoze’s heart seemed wrapped in warm feathers and his entire heart softened. How lucky was he to get Cheng Xia’s heart?

Pei Shaoze placed Cheng Xia on the bed and spoke softly, “I know there is another way to mark, it’s called the lifetime marking.”

Cheng Xia blushed as he asked, “However, a lifetime mark can’t be covered by others. Are you willing to give it to me?”

The answer was an extremely gentle kiss before the man made a serious commitment. “Cheng Xia, I love you. If the lifetime mark can prove my heart then I am willing to give it to you—only to you.”

Cheng Xia’s heart trembled and he immediately kissed Pei Shaoze back. The role of the pheromones release agent meant his estrus came quickly. Cheng Xia wrapped his arms around the alpha’s neck and whispered, “Brother Pei, I love you too.”
