VGSB Chapter 50

Ling Huan gasped, swallowing back the words “I don’t want to see you” that were already on the tip of his tongue. He grabbed Lu Jinbei’s wrist, which had been pressed against his as he stood up, and casually replied, “We will talk about it when I have time.”

Lu Jinbei glanced sideways at Ling Huan, who was looking down.

The youth’s fair neck, exposed to the sunlight, was completely unguarded. Right next to him, a gentle breeze slipped in through a slightly open window in the nursery, carrying the delicate scent of citrus to him.

Lu Jinbei licked his itchy teeth. “Okay.”

Ling Huan frowned slightly, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lu Jinbei’s answer sounded somewhat serious.

Could it be that Lu Jinbei actually took his casual remark as a promise?

He glanced at Lu Jinbei and said in a low voice, “Restrain your pheromones.”

He could clearly tell from the doorway that Mr. Shen was an alpha; his scent resembled some kind of flower. He wondered if Lu Jinbei’s pheromones were so strong that the other man might sense something was amiss.

The man beside him was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, “Can you smell my pheromones?”

“Of course I can smell it.” Ling Huan glanced at him, puzzled. He frowned and looked down, still able to feel Lu Jinbei’s pheromones intentionally creeping up his trouser leg. “Hurry up and restrain it. Can’t you even control this?”

Ling Huan was somewhat anxious. He had an exceptionally strong ability to recognize Lu Jinbei’s pheromones, and he could even see them when the other party was in a strong emotional state.

As for other alphas, he could at most roughly smell the difference.

Lu Jinbei’s pheromones had a great influence on him.

The closer he got, the stronger the smell became, and the more dizzy he felt. A strange emptiness and a bizarre longing involuntarily rose within him, slowly creeping up his spine.

The symptoms have significantly lessened after the last injection of inhibitors.

But after having frequent contact with Lu Jinbei today, and even entering the other’s mental realm once, he couldn’t help but get close to Lu Jinbei whenever he came over.

Fortunately, reason kept him from going too far.

Ling Huan felt a slight warmth on his ear and subconsciously turned his head, accidentally bumping into Lu Jinbei, who suddenly leaned in.

“It can’t be restrained.”

He turned around stiffly, only to be met with the man’s handsome face so close to his own.

“What do my pheromones smell like?”

Ling Huan was momentarily lost in thought. His gaze fell on the man’s slightly curved lips, and he subconsciously described it to Lu Jinbei, “It’s a wine that’s a little fragrant and a little sweet. I don’t drink much, so I don’t know its name…”

Lu Jinbei said, “Do you want to know what kind of wine it is?”

The deep voice seemed to be coaxing him to give an answer. Ling Huan’s lips moved slightly, then he suddenly shook off Lu Jinbei’s hand and took a step back.

He pressed his throbbing temples.

He didn’t know why he suddenly answered Lu Jinbei’s question so seriously, as if he were bewitched. Did Lu Jinbei not know what his own pheromones smelled like?

Feeling a strong gaze, Ling Huan dared not look at him. His hands, hanging at his sides, were a little stiff. He heard the man’s voice, which seemed to carry a hint of laughter that he couldn’t understand.

Lu Jinbei nodded slightly, “I use a barrier agent every day, so no one can smell my pheromones.”

As he spoke, his dark eyes were fixed on Ling Huan, and he slowly added another sentence.

“Apart from you.”

Ling Huan’s heart skipped a beat.

He tilted his head expressionlessly and glanced at Lu Jinbei to confirm that Lu Jinbei really hadn’t told a single lie. He then quickly dug out the silent 009 from his mind.

“Lu Jinbei used a barrier agent! How can I still smell and even see his pheromones?”

009 quickly and rationally analyzed,

【Many of the alphas whose scents the host can currently perceive and identify have been sprayed with barrier agents. However, due to the host’s S-value spiritual strength and some special reasons related to this body, the host can normally perceive them. But Lu Jinbei… it’s probably because of the extremely high compatibility, coupled with the host’s frequent entry and exit from Lu Jinbei’s mental domain, that the host can see his(pheromones). 】

Ling Huan’s temple veins throbbed. “What do you mean by ‘frequent entry and exit’?”

【The number of times Jinbei’s mental domain was opened in the past two years was 0. Compared to that, it’s now happening very frequently. 】

Having figured out the reason, Ling Huan quickly explained to Lu Jinbei, distancing himself from the situation, “Maybe I smelled it wrong. I just described it casually. Please don’t take it to heart. What I smelled just now wasn’t your pheromones. I thought earlier…”

Lu Jinbei said, “What you described is all correct.”

Ling Huan felt a chill run down his spine under Lu Jinbei’s gaze and frantically started making excuses, “I bought a few bottles of wine at the nursery and put them in the storage room. What I smelled just now must have been their scent. Anyway, don’t all wines smell pretty much the same…”

“Mr. Ling.”

A voice came from behind. The two parents, who had already circled around and roughly familiarized themselves with the layout of the nursery, approached with satisfied smiles. Looking up, they were suddenly surprised to see a cold-looking man standing next to the gentle breeder. Mrs. Shen asked in surprise, “Who is this…?”

Ling Huan quickly stepped forward to block Lu Jinbei, and smiled slightly, “Today’s temporary assistant.”

“So it’s your assistant.” Mrs. Shen said with a smile. “I was just about to ask you something. I visited other nurseries before, and they all had a doctor specifically for taking care of the children. Mr. Ling’s nursery has just opened, but surely they have a doctor already in place?”

Ling Huan coughed lightly and said, “The classes will officially start in a week. The doctors will be ready within a week, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

Instructor Qin had previously told him about the nursery’s dedicated doctor and assistant, and promised that the advertisement for recruiting a doctor had been placed on the breeder’s official website and on various mobile media, and that a professional doctor would come to him within three days.

All he needed to do was pick the best one from among those who signed up.

Ling Huan smiled at Mrs. Shen, “The doctors at the nursery are all professional doctors who have passed the special medical examination.”

Relieved, Mrs. Shen added Ling Huan’s contact information and left satisfied.

Half an hour later, a parent arrived, but when Ling Huan opened the door, he discovered that the parent had not brought their child.

The woman standing at the door had long, straight hair draped over her shoulders and wore frameless glasses, giving her a very professional look. She politely greeted Ling Huan and explained the situation, “Hello, Mr. Ling. The child isn’t at Ole Star yet; he won’t be back for four days. I’ve come to record a holographic video of the nursery so he can see it when I get home.”

The woman looked at Ling Huan with some hesitation, “We’re short on time today. If we still can’t make a decision, will there still be spots available if we come back in a couple of days? I heard that your classes are starting next week, is that right?”

Ling Huan said, “The quota are not full yet, and no parents have scheduled to come and check on things tomorrow.”

The side quest requires recruiting four cubs. Instructor Qin previously reminded that it was currently the off-season for recruitment, and most of those who intend to enroll have already secured places in other nurseries.

He was still a little worried about the last spot.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. While recording a holographic video of herself with the kindergarten using her personal terminal, she also helped Ling Huan record a two-minute self-introduction.

After seeing the second parent off, Ling Huan wiped the sweat from his earlier appearance in front of the camera. His temporary assistant tugged at the hem of his shirt from behind, holding on tightly and whispered, “When do you get off work?”

Ling Huan leaned against the door, a surge of irritation rising within him. However, Lu Jinbei’s overall performance this afternoon was passable and he hadn’t caused him any trouble.

He pressed his fingertip to his brow, unfolded his personal computer account in front of Lu Jinbei, indicating that he should add him as a friend, and then said, “Send me your home location.”

Ling Huan pursed his lips and emphasized again, “I’m not going home with you, I’m taking you home, understand?”

Lu Jinbei nodded slightly.

Ling Huan was somewhat surprised that his attitude had become compliant so quickly. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Jinbei had no intention of going back on his word, he quickly arrived at Lu Jinbei’s door.

He sat uneasily in the aircraft, looking at the man’s back through the glass.

Only after the door to Lu Jinbei’s house was completely closed did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Completely unaware of the fleeting pale gold figure outside the side window, its speed surpassing even the Empire’s latest high-speed aircraft.

Ling Huan returned to the villa and saw Beibei lying on the ground as soon as he opened the door.

Seeing him change his shoes and walk inside, Beibei lightly stood up from the ground, stretched his long front legs and yawned, as if he had been lying there for a long time.

Beibei followed closely behind Ling Huan and affectionately rubbed against his trouser leg.

Ling Huan went back to his room and unpacked a few packages, mostly things he had bought for Bei Bei on StarNet. He spent half an hour making a beautiful and warm cat bed for Beibei, with small blue and pink star patterns on the side.

He placed the cat bed next to Beibei and nudged Beibei’s leg, wanting him to come in and experience his new home.

As a result, Beibei just lazily lay on the ground, flicked his hand with its tail, and kept rubbing its fluffy head against his leg.

Ling Huan chuckled, “Why are you being so clingy today, Beibei?”

Normally, he has to be the one to hug him.

Feeling that Beibei was somewhat indifferent to the new cat bed, Ling Huan specially carried him inside before going to bed. However, just as he was about to turn off the light after returning to bed, a section of the bed suddenly sank in, and a small section of the blanket quickly bulged forward, causing Beibei’s head to suddenly pop out from his arms.

Ling Huan paused, his hand hovering in mid-air. He looked down at Beibei and noticed that Beibei had rubbed against his wrist and started pulling its tail towards him.

It was like he was showing off his tail.

Ling Huan smiled slightly, and the fluffy tail touched his face. He pinched the wriggling tail tip with his slender fingertips, gently kissed it, and asked softly, “What’s wrong with your tail?”

~~~

Author has something to say:

【Beibei: Now it’s just the two of us in bed, do you have time to look at my tail? 】
