The car fell quiet after the marking was completed. Their chaotic breathing could clearly be heard.
Pei Fengβs ears were red and he was obviously embarrassed to face his master. Jiang Shaoyuβs expression also wasnβt very normal
In the ABO word, a temporary mark was second only to a thorough mark when it came to an intimate βse*ual act.β Some traditional alphas and omegas would complete the temporary mark only after they were engaged. Meanwhile, the two of them hurriedly completed this first act in the car.
Neither of them thought that the important first mark in their life would be done in a closed car.
Jiang Shaoyu took a deep breath to calm down his violent heartbeat. His pheromones had stabilized. Now facing his bewildered apprentice, Jiang Shaoyu felt a bit ashamed to speak. He rubbed his temples and whispered to break the silence, βI was careless. I shouldβve brought more inhibitors.β
Pei Feng looked back and stuttered, βThen… then do you still want to go to the base?β
Jiang Shaoyu looked out the window. Was it actually snowing?
Snowflakes fluttered in the air. Under the illumination of the warm street lights, it looked like golden powder falling from the sky. This was the first snow since the beginning of winter in the capital and the temperature outside was very cold. Jiang Shaoyu thought about it and said, βIt is snowing and the road is very slippery. Do you have any problems driving?
Pei Feng reassured him. βNo problem, Iβve driven many times on snowy days.β
Jiang Shaoyu told him, βThen go to the base to get some inhibitors for backup. I am worried that my pheromones might be unstable.β
It was the first time he was marked by an alpha. Jiang Shaoyu wasnβt sure if there would be any problems with the follow-up. Getting some inhibitors was double insurance.
Pei Feng heard this and opened the door. He got out of the car, walked to the driverβs seat and started the car.
Along the way, the two of them didnβt speak again. They were thinking their own thoughts.
The snowy road was slippery and Pei Feng couldnβt drive too fast. After 25 minutes, the car finally drove to the dormitory building of the national E-sports Park.
Jiang Shaoyu had no strength and was a bit sleepy. He looked up and whispered, βXiao Pei, I live in Room 404 and the door lock code is 123456. There are inhibitors in the bedside table of the bedroom. Help me grab 20 of them.β
Pei Feng responded positively and quickly went upstairs to get the medicine.
Jiang Shaoyu looked at the snow outside the window and remembered the scene of being hugged by Pei Feng and having the back of his neck intimately bitten. He couldnβt help his ears becoming a bit red. How could he let his apprentice do such a thing when he was a master. It was too unethical.
Xiao Pei was so simple. He was inexplicably asked by his master for a mark and encountered a very aggressive omega.
Hopefully he didnβt leave a psychological shadow on the alpha.
Jiang Shaoyu thought about it before once again feeling sleepy. He leaned back against his chair and fell asleep.
At this moment, Pei Feng was looking at the three drawers of inhibitors in shock.
The small injections arranged neatly one by one was shocking. He had heard that omegas would inject inhibitors but he had never seen so many of them. His masterβs pheromones disorder seemed very troublesome. He had to take injections every day to control it?
Pei Fengβs heart seemed to have been grabbed by a pair of hands.
His master, who had always been cold and proud, was actually suffering from such pain. It was no wonder why he retired in the past. The pheromones disorder probably tortured him a lot.
Pei Feng stepped forward quickly and grabbed 20 medicines. He turned around and headed downstairs, only to find his master was asleep.
He didnβt make a sound to disturb his master. He just silently started the car and drove home.
Heavy snow affected his field of view and the road surface had already started to freeze. Pei Feng drove very slowly and it was 1:30 when he arrived home.
Jiang Shaoyu still hadnβt woken up. Pei Feng went to the back seat, stretched out his arms and hugged his master up horizontally.
He was too thin and very light when carried. Pei Feng carried him all the way to the bedroom, took off his coat and covered him with a quilt.
Pei Feng was in a complicated mood when he saw Jiang Shaoyu sleeping so soundly. He turned around and returned to his bedroom, but he couldnβt sleep at all.
In his mind, he went over the scene of him hugging his master and marking his master over and over again.
His masterβs pheromones didnβt have the usual sweetness of omegas. During the process of biting through the glands, the icy mint smell refreshed the mind. Forget losing control. This smell caused Pei Feng to sober up with the frequency of every breath and his senses became exceptionally sharp.
The omegaβs glands were bitten by him and the cool smell instantly invaded every pore.
His masterβs pheromones were very domineering but this made it completely go to peopleβs heads.
He couldnβt help wanting to take another bite…
The more Pei Feng thought about it, the more ashamed he became.
In his heart, the master and apprentice relationship between him and Jiang Shaoyu was the purest feeling in the world. He regarded Jiang Shaoyu as an idol when he was younger and embarked on the road of e-sports due to God Wing. He always felt that his master was the most handsome man in the world.
Yet today, he marked his master…
This master and apprentice relationship was no longer pure. It was like a clean white paper had been stained with a variety of colors called βdesire.β
Pei Feng covered his head with the quilt and forced himself to fall asleep and not think too much.
He had a dream in which Jiang Shaoyu hit him with a whip and said coldly, βDo you dare to mark your master? Too rebellious!β
Pei Feng knelt on a keyboard, prostrated himself and admitted his mistake. βI was wrong, Master. I will go and write a self-criticism.β
Pei Feng, who woke up in the morning: β???β
After other alphas marked an omega, they had dreams that were inappropriate for children.
Did he write a self-criticism in his dreams? What a cruel thing!
Pei Feng went to the bathroom and took a hasty shower. Then he turned around and knocked on the opposite door.
It was already 9 oβclock in the morning. Master should be awake, right? There was no sound in the room but he had the courage to push the door open. He wanted to ask if Jiang Shaoyu was hungry, but he found that Jiang Shaoyu was frowning in discomfort and wrapped tightly in the quilt while shrunk up into a ball. The pillows were soaked with sweat.
Pei Feng took a breath and hurriedly stepped forward. He asked, βMaster, whatβs wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable?β
Jiang Shaoyu opened his eyes with difficulty and his voice was hoarse. βIt seems there is a small fever…β
Pei Feng quickly turned around and said, βIβll go buy you fever reducing medicine.β
Jiang Shaoyu stopped him. βNo. It is just the first time I have been marked by an alpha and I canβt adapt. My body is adjusting itself. Just pour me a glass of water.β
Pei Feng turned around and poured a cup of warm water. He helped Jiang Shaoyu sit up, fed him water and then used the thermometer to measure Jiang Shaoyuβs body temperature. It was 37.5 degrees Celsius, which was a low-grade fever. Pei Feng went to get a clean towel. He wet it with cold water and gently applied it to Jiang Shaoyuβs forehead. βMaster, is it better?β
Jiang Shaoyuβs face was flushed. His entire body was hot and cold and his throat seemed to be on fire. The coolness from his forehead made him feel much more comfortable. He struggled to lean against the head of the bed and sat up. He looked at Pei Feng, his voice rarely gentle. βYou donβt have to mind too much about last nightβs incident. Forget about it.β
Pei Feng was stunned and wondered softly, βMaster, do you really not mind?β
Of course he did. Jiang Shaoyu had never been so close to an alpha in many years.
If it was changed to an ordinary alpha and omega, perhaps they could talk about a relationship in an open and honest way.
However, they couldnβt do so.
A master and apprentice relationship itself went against common sense, not to mention that Jiang Shaoyu was the coach of the national team and Pei Feng was a big streamer. It was likely that Xiao Pei would become the main sniper of the national team. If the two of them got together, it would affect Xiao Peiβs reputation.
The best relationship between them… was a master and apprentice relationship.
Jiang Shaoyu thought of this and said calmly, βJust think of it as an accident and both of us can have a clear conscience.β
A clear conscience?
Pei Feng suddenly felt a bit lost when he heard this. His master didnβt mind this matter? It would be the same if it was another alpha? He forced himself to endure the awkwardness in his heart and smiled casually. βIt is good that you donβt blame me. I was worried that you would make me write a self-criticism.β
Jiang Shaoyu wondered, βWhy should you write a self-criticism about this type of thing?β
βI probably became used to writing it from when I was in ACE?β
Jiang Shaoyu: β……β
He raised his head to look at Pei Feng, just in time to meet Pei Fengβs gaze.
Pei Feng had been tortured and killed by Jiang Shaoyu before worshiping him as a master. He was also ordered by Jiang Shaoyu to write a review and reflection due to the poor performance. His respect for his master was engraved into his mind. Therefore, after last nightβs mark, his first reaction was to wonder if he would be criticized by his master.
Seeing his apprentice sitting on the edge of the bed with an innocent expression, Jiang Shaoyuβs heart softened. He reached out and gently touched Pei Fengβs head like he was touching a puppy. βLast night wasnβt your fault. Donβt blame yourself. Iβm a bit hungry. Go make me something to eat.β
Pei Feng was stunned.
His masterβs fingers were white and slender. They looked very beautiful. They passed through his hair lightly and it was like a weak electric current hit his heart in an instant.
Pei Fengβs heart was beating wildly and he hurriedly said, βYes, Master. Iβll go make porridge for you.β
He turned and went downstairs, heading into the kitchen to cook.
Jiang Shaoyu looked at his apprenticeβs back and withdrew his head with complicated feelings.
In the past, Xiao Peiβs height only reached up to Jiang Shaoyuβs shoulder. Jiang Shaoyu would sometimes touch the head of his apprentice to show encouragement. However, now Pei Feng was already an adult alpha. This head touching action really shouldnβt be done.
Jiang Shaoyu frowned. It was probably due to the effect of the mark? After an alpha and omegaβs pheromones were fused, they would become dependent on each other. He looked at Pei Feng today and couldnβt help being soft-hearted. He always felt that his apprentice was very pleasing and cute?
Forget it, donβt think about it too much. Let it pass.
Jiang Shaoyu chased away the thoughts in his mind and leaned against the head of the bed to close his eyes and recuperate.
Today was New Yearβs Eve. It shouldβve been a lively New Yearβs Eve but last nightβs mark made Jiang Shaoyu weak and had no energy all day. At noon, he woke up for a moment and Pei Feng brought him some food again.
Pei Feng was worried that his masterβs fever would recur and he stayed in the bedroom to take care of his master.
A lot of messages appeared in the ACE 2.0 group.
Ye Zi: Happy New Year!
Xiao Zhou: New Yearβs greetings to everyone.
Lao Lin: Happy Spring Festival to everyone!
Sister Yu: I wish you the best of luck in the new year.
Pei Feng also took the initiative to send a red envelope for everyone to grab.
After a moment, Shu Chen came out and said: Where is Brother Yu?
Pei Feng looked at the person lying on the bed and typed: Master isnβt feeling well and he is sleeping.
Everyone was concerned and started asking questions.
βWhat happened to him?β
βIs he sick?β
βWhat is the situation with Ah Yu?β
Pei Feng couldnβt directly explain that βMaster was marked by me. After the omega was marked, he got a fever and became sleepy.β If this message was sent out, he would probably be dismembered by the ACE group, right? There was Lao Linβs submachine gun, Brother Zhouβs AK, Ye Ziβs dagger, etc. all waiting for him. After all, in the hearts of everyone in ACE, Brother Yu was a god-like existence. How dare Xiao Pei do this?
Pei Feng coughed lightly and made up an excuse: He has a bad stomach and ate badly.
Yu Mingxiang was one of the few people who knew that Jiang Shaoyu was an omega, but she didnβt think that anything would happen with Xiao Pei and Ah Yu being together. She quickly believed Pei Fengβs explanation and instructed: Is it serious? Xiao Pei, take good care of your master.
Pei Feng said: Donβt worry, I just made some easy to digest porridge for him. Master went to bed after eating.
After chatting for a while, the group went to eat their New Yearsβ Eve meal.
Pei Feng also went downstairs to prepare the New Yearβs Eve meal. He also took Doudou to the courtyard to paste the couplet. He put on a new outfit for Doudou by the way.
His master was in bad spirits today. He definitely wouldnβt be able to eat ribs and chicken thighs.
Pei Feng wrapped some dumplings and cooked four types of vegetable dishes that were light and easy to digest. Then he made a bowl of fish soup with few seasonings.
At 8 oβclock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala started to be broadcasted on the television.
Pei Feng came upstairs with the dishes. Jiang Shaoyu was sleeping in a daze and he struggled to open his eyes after hearing the footsteps. Pei Feng moved a small table to the side of the bed and set up the dishes and chopsticks. He said softly, βMaster, eat.β
He took a step forward and gently tested the other personβs forehead with the back of his hand. βYour fever seems to have receded. Are you still uncomfortable?β
Jiang Shaoyu replied in a hoarse voice, βIβm not uncomfortable. It is just that I donβt have much strength.β
Pei Feng helped him sit up and put a pillow behind him. The movement was very gentle.
He remembered that when he had a cold and got a fever in the ACE team, Jiang Shaoyu had taken good care of him for one night.
Now he was older and could take care of his master.
Jiang Shaoyu didnβt have much energy today, but Doudou was very energetic and circled around Pei Feng.
He wagged his tail next to Jiang Shaoyu and yelled. βBark bark!β
Jiang Shaoyu looked up and saw that Doudou was wearing a very festive red outfit with the words βHappy New Yearβ written on it.
Pei Feng followed his gaze and explained with a smile. βThe new clothes I bought for Doudou are cute, right?β
βBark bark.β
Pei Feng opened his mouth. βDoudou said he likes it very much.β
Jiang Shaoyu: β……β
Xiao Pei and Doudou were getting along happily. Doudou wore this outfit and he indeed looked quite festive.
Pei Feng handed him the chopsticks. βMaster, come to eat the dumplings. The dumplings I made with three fresh fillings and they have fresh shrimp.β
Jiang Shaoyu tasted it and it was really delicious. The skin was thin and filling and the shrimp was sweet and refreshing.
The few vegetarian dishes went together well. In addition, there was a bowl of fish soup… this should be the easiest New Yearβs Eve meal, right?
On New Yearβs Eve, other peopleβs houses were filled with a table full of fish and meat dishes. Meanwhile, they had a simple New Yearβs Eve dinner on the small table beside the bed. Next to the two of them was a puppy in red clothes.
During the meal, Jiang Shaoyu said softly, βYesterday, we went to the supermarket to buy so many ingredients but we didnβt get to use them today. New Yearβs Eve is passing. This mustβve made you disappointed, right?β
He wasnβt in good shape today and slept drowsily all day.
He didnβt help Pei Feng cook the New Yearβs Eve dinner and instead became a patient who needed Pei Fengβs care.
Pei Fengβs voice was very gentle. βDonβt think like that. The form of how we spend New Yearβs Eve isnβt important. The important thing is who you are with.β
Jiang Shaoyu raised his head and saw Pei Fengβs smiling eyes.
The alpha said very gently, βI am really happy that Master can accompany me for the new year.β
Jiang Shaoyuβs heart moved slightly. This was also the warmest Spring Festival he had spent in the past few years.
A puppy dressed in festive clothing and an apprentice who trusted him and never blamed him no matter what happened. Pei Feng accompanied him, took care of him all day and made a light and delicious Chinese New Yearβs Eve meal by hand.
Xiao Pei, accepting you as an apprentice is really the most correct decision that Iβve made.
Jiang Shaoyu smiled slightly. For some reason, his appetite improved and he ate all the dumplings.
