Su Ling's eyes narrowed with a smile, and two dimples appeared on his cheeks. His slender eyes curled up, looking pure and gorgeous.

Gu Liheng paused for two seconds and moved away from his clear eyes. Then he said, "You did it on purpose." His voice was calm, and he was using an affirmative tone.

Su Ling blinked and slightly restrained his smile. He stared at Gu Liheng, trying to find out his real thoughts from his expressionless face, "You are not angry ba?" Lifting his head from his bag, Su Ling sat upright and explained, "I just want to tease you, because you... are always looking very solemn."

Su Ling’s gaze was warm and sincere, with a hint of worry in it. He was not sure where Gu Liheng's bottom line is as he(GLH) has always maintained a serious expression. Su Ling wants to make it clear so that he won’t shoot himself in the foot when the time comes.

Looking at Su Ling’s posture as if saying he will accept any lessons, Gu Liheng thought to himself, still a child. He said, "I am not angry, I am used to showing this expression."

Su Ling smiled, "It's great if you are not angry," he said sincerely, "You have a good personality." Stable and reliable and very accommodating.

Gu Liheng saw Su Ling’s serious expression and refrained from telling him that many people were afraid to even talk to him.

Back at the villa, Gu Liheng ordered the butler robot Domi to bring Su Ling to the guest room, and said to Su Ling, "If you have something to ask, you can contact me. Dinner time is at 6.30pm." He paused. "What time do you usually have dinner? You can set another time if you want."

Su Ling immediately said, "6.30pm is good enough."

Gu Liheng nodded, and Su Ling followed Domi to the guest room.

The room is just one room away from the room where the spiritual plants were placed. The area is much larger than the fragrance bar’s lounge, and the lighting is nice as well. Su Ling circled the room once and was very satisfied. He opened the closet and saw that it was empty. There was a sachet in the corner, exuding a light fragrance, and it smelled very comfortable. Su Ling took his clothes out of the backpack, hung them one by one in the wardrobe, and put the toiletries in the bathroom. Standing in front of the sink, he removed the isolator, and the feeling of restrained heat at the back of his neck eased up a lot. An awful smell gradually appeared in the air. Su Ling wrinkled his nose and turned on the ventilation system.

After that, Su Ling leaned his head closer to the mirror and observed the back of his neck. Other than looking slightly red, the skin on the gland seemed normal to him. He pressed on the spot and instantly felt numb. He groaned, and his eyes were slightly opened. This feeling is too strange. His body has changed a lot since then, it makes him curious and afraid. He doesn’t dare to explore further and doesn’t dare to touch much of that area every time he takes a bath. This is just an exposed neck, and he felt it when he touches it. Couldn’t imagine what would happen if someone touched it instead. Su Ling recalled the time when he started to read this kind of novel, he was puzzled about how the ABO world setting works, and specifically went to search about it. He remembers seeing someone saying that the ABO setting is the paradise for ‘yellow’ novels.

Su Ling felt kind of complicated. At first, he thought he could ignore how an Omega's body is different from his original body, but this body's reaction reminded him that running from reality is useless. He sat down on the bedroom sofa, opened his bracelet interface, and carefully read up on the relevant chapters regarding the physiology of an Omega. After reading it, he glanced down with a shocked expression on his face, then looked away. He coughed awkwardly. Although he only briefly glanced down, he had the illusion that he was perverting himself. He glanced at the time. At 6.25pm, he closed his bracelet interface and went to the dining room.

When he reached, Gu Liheng hadn't arrived yet, and his thoughts couldn't help returning to the content he just read. Words like estrus and knot flashed in his mind.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Your face is very red." Gu Liheng asked when he walked into the dining room and saw Su Ling's red face.

Su Ling came back to his sense and felt a little ashamed. He hurriedly answered, "No, it’s nothing" he patted his face, " just feeling a little bit hot."

Gu Liheng glanced at Su Ling’s short-sleeved T-shirt and turned the air-conditioning down by 2 degrees.

Gu Liheng's eating etiquette is perfect, and the whole dining process was silent.

Su Ling would glance at him from time to time, and couldn’t help sighing in his heart that Gu Liheng is really handsome; handsome and good-tempered. Drinking his juice, Su Ling watched Gu Liheng maintained an unhurried speed while eating, and found out that Gu Liheng ate more than he did.

Gu Liheng noticed his stare, and his movements slightly paused, "You don't have to be polite, you eat too little."

Su Ling: "I'm full."

Gu Liheng didn't say anything and continued to eat. After eating, the two left the dining room, and the housekeeping robot cleaned up the table.

Su Ling saw Gu Liheng walking towards the second floor, and asked, "Are you going back to your room?"

Gu Liheng looked at him, "You have something to ask me?"

Su Ling replied, "It's not good to sit down right after a meal. It's best to take a walk." Then he suggested, "Let's go for a walk together."

Gu Liheng looked out of the door, the sky is not entirely dark, as if it was covered with a layer of gray-blue gauze. Not bright, but one could still see clearly. He turned to Su Ling and asked, "Are you afraid of the dark? There are night lights in the yard, and you can ask Butler Domi to turn it on now." The night lights were scheduled to turn on at 7.30pm, but it is only 7.00pm right now.

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng helplessly. This person’s head doesn’t have even a shred of romance? Isn’t he a bit too straight?! His invitation was obvious to see. Or does Gu Liheng thinks of him as a child and didn’t think in another direction?

Su Ling looked at him, "Are you going with me?"

Gu Liheng saw Su Ling’s expectant eyes and got slightly soft-hearted, but he was not interested in a soft exercise like walking, so he replied, "Not going." Then, he thought of what Su Ling said about not sitting after a meal, he added, "There is a fitness room on the second floor."

Su Ling immediately asked, "Can I go?"

Gu Liheng nodded, "Yes, but pay attention to safety."

Su Ling's eyes quickly swept over him, his male god is tall and sturdy, with a perfect inverted triangle figure, but it was a pity that he was covered by his shirt and trousers. Thinking about how his male god looked during exercise, his heart beats faster, "En, I will pay attention."

Su Ling followed Gu Liheng to the fitness room located at the far right side of the second floor. Upon entering, he momentarily had a feeling that he has just entered a fitness club. The fitness room has various equipment on the left, a swimming pool on the right, and a squash room on the front. The equipment area was separated from the swimming pool by a glass wall.

Gu Liheng: "I need to deal with a document first, feel free to use the room."

Su Ling acknowledged with an ‘En’. After Gu Liheng left, Su Ling looked around at the fitness room and got a general understanding of how each equipment works. He went to a treadmill and adjusted it to jogging mode. Slowly running on the treadmill, he would occasionally glance at the door. About 15 mins later, when Su Ling turned his head to the door again, he saw Gu Liheng coming into the room.

Gu Liheng was wearing a black tank top, and sports shorts, giving Su Ling an unobstructed view of the muscles of his arms and calves. The muscles under his honey-coloured skin looked very strong. Gu Liheng has powerful facial features, tall figure and long legs, and the scene when he walked into the room looked like he is shooting the cover of a magazine; so cool and so handsome.

Su Ling's footsteps paused for a moment, causing his body to fall forward. Coming back to his sense, he quickly propped himself on the console and pressed the stop button. He gasped, and the lights in front of him were blocked out all of a sudden. Looking up, Su Ling saw Gu Liheng frowning at him, "You were distracted, that’s very dangerous."

Su Ling's face turned red, and he felt like a silly kid. He hasn't felt like this for a long time.

"I will pay attention." He was a little embarrassed because he said the same thing not long ago, but ended up slapping his face with it.

Gu Liheng raised his hand, wanted to help him down, but stopped when he thought of the other party's gender, "Can you still come down from the treadmill? Did you hurt your foot?"

Su Ling shook his head and leapt down from the treadmill. Then he jumped a few times on the ground and laughed, "I'm fine."

Gu Liheng's eyebrows loosened as he advised, "Use the smart mode in the future. You can link the equipment to Butler Domi, and it will help to handle any unexpected situations."

Su Ling nodded, "Okay." He looked at Gu Liheng and added, "You can go to exercise, I'll link it myself."

Hence, Gu Liheng told Su Ling how to set the link, before walking to the side to warm up. After that, he went to the squash court to play.

Su Ling opened the treadmill control panel and linked it to Butler Domi.

Butler Domi couldn't help but sigh, "After 20 years, Master finally needs me again during exercise.”

Su Ling coughed, "Butler Domi, it's me who needed you."

"Oh, dear beautiful Omega guest, I am delighted to serve you."

Su Ling whispered, "Who designed your system character? It is completely different from your master's style."

Butler Domi: "Of course it is my owner himself."

Su Ling raised his eyebrow and turned his head to look at Gu Liheng. He couldn't think how Gu Liheng would set his butler’s personality like that. He initially just subconsciously looked over, but this time he did not want to look away. Gu Liheng looked very fierce when he was playing squash. His expression was still the same as usual, but his momentum was awe-inspiring, his eyes were focused and fierce. He is very fast as well, Su Ling can hardly see the trajectory of the ball, but Gu Liheng still can receive the ball accurately every time, and then return the hit hard.

"Dear beautiful Omega guest, the connection is successful, you can now run with confidence. There will not be any problems, even if you fall asleep on the treadmill."

Su Ling looked away when he heard Domi, "Thank you, Butler Domi."

"You are welcomed."

Su Ling adjusted the treadmill to normal running speed and stopped after running for half an hour. During this period, Gu Liheng has been playing squash non-stop. His hair is wet from the sweat, and a layer of sweat is covered his honey-coloured skin, which is very sexy. Su Ling was amazed. If he played squash like Gu Liheng, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to hold on for 10 minutes. Just 30 minutes of regular running has made him feel tired.

Gu Liheng's physical strength is incredible!

Sighing in his heart, Su Ling lightly gasped and wiped away the sweat on his forehead with his hand. Hesitated, he decided not to disturb Gu Liheng and went back downstairs to take a shower.

After Su Ling left, Gu Liheng grabbed the ball and stopped playing. He frowned as he took off the isolator on the back of his neck. In an instant, a rich and mellow fragrance came wafting into the air. He moved his hands and feet to relax his muscles, then walked out of the squash court. He jumped into the swimming pool, took a few rounds of casual swimming, and lay on the surface of the water slowly.

After taking a shower, Su Ling endured the shame and continued to read up on the physiology notes. This time, he read about Alpha.

"Alpha is full of energy and constantly needs to vent out. Sxx and exercise are the best ways. During both processes, the isolator should be removed, because having the isolator on will damage the glands."

"When exercising, make sure that no Omega other than the partner is present; otherwise, the pheromone emitted may induce an Omega into estrus."

Su Ling swiftly stood up. The amount of Gu Liheng's exercise just now is not any regular exercise! Did he stay inside the squash court because of him? Su Ling couldn't help worrying, would something goes wrong from him restraining himself? Sticking the isolator on, Su Ling went to the second floor. As soon as the door of the fitness room was opened, a rich and mellow fragrance rushed over, causing Su Ling's legs to soften instantly. Su Ling immediately supported himself against the door.

The hxll with this body?!
