Chapter 86: ABO

The fading haze gradually engulfed the twilight, and the last lingering aftertaste of the setting sun melted into the dark night sky.

Ge Xiu looked away from the silver-white mecha and turned to look at Haines standing beside him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, there was a fire sparkling in the depths of his dark pupils as he asked lightly:

So, is this a wedding gift you gave me?

Haines looked up at the mecha standing in front of him and shook his head with a low laugh: No.

He lowered his head to look at Ge Xiu and said quietly:

Its a birthday present.

Although the other party didnt say it clearly, Haines was very clear about the deep meaning behind the question he asked What was the purpose of his gift? Was it a gift out of the marriage contract between them?

In that case, this mecha was no different from an expensive diamond necklace. In the final analysis, it would be just an alphas purchase for possession that belongs to him, an invisible attempt to buy over someone stemming from desireHaines has no doubt that if he answered with yes, and the other would have reject this gift the next second without a word.

Haines stared at the young man in front of him and continued unhurriedly:

Actually, if you are not satisfied with our engagement, I dont mind letting it be voided.

He raised his hand to caress Ge Xius face and gently wiped oil smears off his face, he said in a low voice: This mecha is yours, because only you can be worthy of herit has nothing to do with any other factors.

Haines eyes were as deep as the night sky, the faint blue light condensed in the depths of the pupils, traces of aggressive dark fire flickered and burned on the bottom of his eyes, the almost paranoid blazing affection felt as if it could burn them both to the bones, the corner of his lips curled lightly:

You are mineit also has nothing to do with the marriage contract.

Whether there is a marriage contract or not, they are destined to be together again.

Ge Xius pupils trembled slightly and he forgot to move away for a while.

Haines traced the outline of the boys graceful jaw with his fingers, and he whispered firmly: In this world, only we are worthy of each other you and I are born to be together.

They were too close.

Ge Xiu could smell the taste of the deliberately restrained pheromone coming from the othertasting like rum mixed with a strong burning sensation, the extremely aggressive breath swept down his nose like fire down into the throat, arousing a fiery tingling sensation. Straightforward and intense, the smell of pheromone rushes towards his face with heavy sense of presence, like a predator occupying every trace of air and winding around him.

An intense heat like drunkenness rushed to his cheeks from the depths of his blood vessels.

Ge Xiu was startled, and out of instinct, he suddenly pulled back.

Because he panicked, he even stumbled a few steps due to unsteady center of gravity. Thanks to Haines quick and nimble hands, Ge Xiu didnt fall down.

The hot taste of rum hit again.

Ge Xiu was shocked and quickly broke free from Haines embrace.

It wasnt like Ge Xiu has not smelled Haines pheromones before todayalthough he was consciously suppressing them, in daily life, even the strongest person would not be able to cover everything.

But Ge Xiu removed his glands after all, and his sensitivity to pheromones has reduced greatly. In addition, he always paid great attention to keeping a distance, so even if he smelled the pheromones on the other before, he had never had a reaction as intense as now.

Haines let go of his hand, watching the young man quickly distance himself from him as if scalded and stop a few meters away from him.

Ge Xiu pursed his lips tightly and showed a cold expression, but in sharp contrast to his indifferent facade, an intense physiological flush started from the cheekbones, spread on the white skin, and continued reaching his ears, it was like a warm and gorgeous sunset, and there was a layer of misty water in his eyes, like a lake full of clear moonlight, glistening in the night.

Haines was a little surprised at first, but he quickly recovered his calm and asked without changing his face:

The banquet is about to start, lets go back?

Ge Xiu avoided his gaze, nodded expressionlessly, and squeezed a short syllable from the depths of his throat:

Yeah.

After speaking, he didnt wait for Haines to go at all, but walked quickly towards the villa, and then disappeared into the enclave of the lush vegetation of the gardenhis back was still straight, but he gave off an inexplicable feeling as if he was running away.

Haines stared at the young mans rapidly disappearing back, frowned slightly, and then followed slowly.

The sound of brushing against leaves in the garden followed Ge Xiu and he heard the footsteps of the other party being left far away, and finally slowed down his pace.

He raised his hand and rubbed his hot cheeks vigorously, and took a deep breath slowly, finally calming down his chaotic mood.

The breeze gently brushed against his ears, and then was silently flew into the dark night sky.

In fact, during this period of time, Ge Xiu has fully determined that the other was [that person].

But he still havent found the answer to the most important question.

Why did [he] appear in this virtual world, and why was he always appearing by his side again and againwho was he? What was his purpose? Who were the people behind the scenes who arranged these punishments worlds?

The information Ge Xiu knew now was too little, and even the memory before being arrested was blank, which made him completely unable to sort out his thoughts from these cluttered clues, and he had no choice but to take a step after step.

And Haines

Ge Xiu forcibly stopped his thoughts from centering about Haines and was determined not to delve into what the other party just said.

He stood in the icy night wind and waited until the effect of the others pheromone on him had completely subsided before stepping back into the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, the lights were illuminating brilliantly, and many people in suits and leather shoes were chatting and laughing.

Ge Xiu slipped to one of the long tables, felt a few candies and stuffed them into his pockets.

Before he could peel off the outer packaging of one of the candies, Admiral Drosts voice came from behind him: Where did you go just now?

Ge Xiu paused.

He sadly glanced at the half-peeled candy in his hand, then turned to look at Admiral Drost behind him, with a well-behaved look on his face: Actually, just now, I

Dont try to find an excuse! Admiral Drost interrupted Ge Xius unspoken words with suppressed anger: Do you know how long has the butler been looking for you? The guests downstairs

He was with me just now.

A familiar lazy voice sounded, and Ge Xius back suddenly stiffened.

A strong and mellow wine aroma surrounded him.

Haines walked over unhurriedly and put his palm lightly on Ge Xius shoulder. He glanced at the boy beside him, whose height was half a head lower than his. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said half-ironically: After all, we need to communicate our feelings, right? Father-in-law?

Father-in-laws was suffocated to point of his face being the color of pig liver.

He was accustomed to hearing Haines sneer at him, and the sight of him standing in front of him and calling him father-in-law felt like an absurd dreamthough he was telling the truthbut Admiral Drost really didnt expect the other party to be so thick-skinned, calling him like this in public without changing his face.

Simply simply

Admiral Drost couldnt think of any suitable adjectives to describe this shameless man.

He glanced at the two people in front of him with a complicated expression, and the evil fire that had risen in his stomach just now was directly quenched by this inexplicable feeling of suffocation.

You forget it Admiral Drost hesitated.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly, and said weakly: Wait until I announce the news of the marriage of the two of you just dont cause any more trouble for me.

After he finished speaking, he turned around slowly, and left the scene as fast as he could as if escaping.

Haines squinted his eyes secretly

the father and son were alike in terms of quickly fleeing the scene, as if carved out of the same mold.

After General Drost left, Ge Xiu quickly widened the distance between them.

He lowered his head and continued to peel the candy in his hand, and then stuffed the round candy into his mouth. The soft fruity sweet aroma spread and flowed into his throat from his mouth, but he still couldnt get rid of the spicy and stimulating rum smell, on the contrary, the smell of candy highlighted the taste of Haines pheromone even more clearly.

Ge Xiu took two steps away again quietly.

Haines keenly noticed Ge Xius small movements and asked: Whats wrong?

Ge Xiu shook his head unnaturally: Nothing.

Haines frowned and asked:

Is it because of what I just said?

He sighed:

Dont worry, Im not trying to force you to make a choice, although my previous actions may not prove my point but Im serious. If you are not satisfied with our engagement, I dont mind breaking it off.

Haines stared at Ge Xiu and said seriously: I will not give up pursuing you, but I will never force you to fulfil the engagement until you are willing to accept me. If you dont believe me, Ill go to your father now to explain the situation and cancel the marriage

He said, turning around and preparing to leave.

But before he could take a few steps, Haines felt his arm being grabbed. He was stunned and turned his head to look behind him.

He saw that Ge Xius cheekbones were still painted with an unusual blush, his eyes were misty, his sight was dodging slightly. He gritted his teeth and then whispered: Its not what you said just now its your pheromones

Haines was stunned for a moment: What?

Ge Xiu raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said in a low voice: Your pheromone taste like rumIm really bad at drinking it made me feel a little overwhelmed.

Haines frowned and asked slowly after thinking: You smelled my pheromones? Are you sure?

Ge Xiu nodded.

Haines continued to ask: What about you before? Have you ever smelled it?

Ge Xiu nodded again.

Haines looked at Ge Xiu with an unfathomable expression, and asked a third question: What about other peoples pheromones? Have you smelled it since you came back from the frontier?

Ge Xiu was taken aback.

He thought about it seriously, then looked up at Haines a little surprised, and said: I dont have such thing in my memory But I really rarely have contact with other people, so maybe I didnt pay attention?

Haines shook his head.

He sighed, Who taught your physiology class? Why dont you have any common sense in this area?

Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him looking offended.

Haines stared at him inquiringly: The function of the glands is not only to release pheromones, but also to distinguish the pheromone emitted by other people. If glands are completely removed, like yours, the perception of other peoples pheromones will be affected. It should be extremely slow, and it should be even more impossible to distinguish the taste of the other when the alpha deliberately restrains his pheromonesUnless

Ge Xiu asked: Unless what?

Haines chuckled: Only when their pheromones matching degree is higher than 90% this may happen.

Ge Xiu couldnt help being surprised.

Although his physiology class knowledge is really bad but he still understood the concept of the pheromones matching degree being higher than 90%

Its a situation one in a million.

Haines lips were slightly raised, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he whispered:

Look, like I said, we were born to be together.
