Hearing Wei Xiu worry about him, Xu Yunchun’s expression instantly changes. He’s about to let out a wail and show the injury to display how he’s been utterly wronged.
But the second before he starts, Shen Xi says: “It seems Wei Xiu is quite attached to you.”
Xu Yunchun retracts his expression: “Hm?”
Xu Yunchun smirks, then asks Wei Xiu: “Could it be that you missed me, young master?”
Wei Xiu: “!”
Xu Yunchun: “You’re just finding an excuse to see me, right?”
Wei Xiu: “I was just worried for your safety!”
Xu Yunchun: “It’s only been half a day and the young master misses me already? Who was the one who said he held back for a year? How are you so clingy now?”
Wei Xiu: “Don’t speak nonsense!”
Xu Yunchun: “Do you regret letting me go out? If you do, then come and bring me back home!”
Wei Xiu: “Ridiculous!”
Wei Xiu hangs up the phone.
–
Xu Yunchun proudly says to Shen Xi: “The young master is so clingy, he can’t be with me.”
Shen Xi: “…”
Xu Yunchun’s fingers moved at the speed of light sending a heap of teasing messages to Wei Xiu.
Xu Yunchun sighs: “The young master just loves me too much, what should I do with him?”
Seeing his demeanor change so quickly, Shen Xi isn’t quite sure how to take it.
Forget it…you have my respect, congrats.
—
At the residence, Wei Xiu sees Xu Yunchun continuously send him messages, then quickly shuts off his phone.
Ridiculous!
He was just showing concern for Xu Yunchun! Yet Xu Yunchun dared to take it this far! Even saying he’s clingy?
Ridiculous!
Wei Xiu kicks Xu Yunchun to the side in his heart, then focuses on his work.
–
Half an hour later, that chibi Xu Yunchun who had been figuratively kicked aside comes creeping back to the forefront.
The mini Chunchun cried and cried, lifting its injured hand up requesting comfort from the young master…the chibi Chunchun started to expand within Wei Xiu’s heart, quickly filling up his heart, and forcing Wei Xiu to be unable to resist picking up his phone again.
But when Wei Xiu is about to call Xu Yunchun, he suddenly comes to his senses. In these two lives he lived, when has he ever gotten distracted so easily? It must be a result of entering the ABO world and suffering the effects of pheromones!
Speaking of which, his rut is coming soon.
He hasn’t experienced a rut yet since he completely marked Xu Yunchun. He’s not sure if it will be as miserable as it was before.
Wei Xiu takes some inhibitors and goes back to working.
–
After taking his inhibitors, Wei Xiu’s mind is clearer. But this clarity doesn’t last very long, and he’s back to missing Xu Yunchun again. He misses how it feels to hug Xu Yunchun, and the fragrance of osmanthus that comes from his body. He can’t stop himself from walking into the garden and sniffing the flowers that Xu Yunchun grew for him.
But he still feels it isn’t enough, nowhere near enough.
He goes to the bedroom, lies on Xu Yunchun’s place in the bed, buries his face into Xu Yunchun’s pillow. It’s a shame that he had already switched the bedsheets, on the surface, it just smells like detergent.
He can’t take it anymore. He opens the closet and finds the items with the strongest scent of osmanthus.
–
Wei Xiu subtly realizes that his proactiveness isn’t too normal. But he really misses Xu Yunchun, unbearably so. So much that he can’t control himself. By the time he notices anything, he is surrounded by Xu Yunchun’s clothes. And he is embracing some pyjamas Xu Yunchun had worn, but had yet to be washed. He sniffed the pyjamas again and again, he even couldn’t resist giving it a kiss.
….he misses Chunchun
…he wants to kiss Chunchun.
…he wants to knot, get Chunchun pregnant, and have children with Chunchun.
As soon as those thoughts came up, Wei Xiu immediately knew something was up with him.
They had long agreed to only have children after a few years. Why would he have such thoughts now?
His rut has come.
His rut symptoms have changed.
Wei Xiu wants to call Xu Yunchun to come back, but his phone is dead.
At this moment, he has lost all sanity, he’s even forgotten how to charge his phone. He messes with it for a while, but his head is full of just Xu Yunchun.
Why isn’t Chunchun coming back? Has Chunchun abandoned him?
The more Wei Xiu thinks about it, the more upset he feels. He just wants to bury himself in this pile of Xu Yunchun’s clothes.
–
Xu Yunchun ends up going back home early.
That afternoon, he had sent several teasing messages to Wei Xiu, and Wei Xiu ignored him. He hadn’t thought much of it.
But then night comes and he sends “I miss you, young master”, yet Wei Xiu doesn’t reply.
He sends “I’m not going back home then”, and Wei Xiu still doesn’t answer.
He immediately calls and thus realizes Wei Xiu’s phone is off.
Shen Xi, then, guesses: “He’s probably just being difficult.”
Xu Yunchun: “No, something definitely happened to the young master.”
“I said I wouldn’t go back home and he didn’t call me immediately to scold me. Something must have happened!”
When Xu Yunchun says he wants to go back home no matter what, there’s not much that Shen Xi can do but follow him back.
–
But when Xu Yunchun returns home, the whole residence is pitch black. He calls out a few times, but no one answers.
Xu Yunchun searches around the residence, and finds Wei Xiu in the changing room. The closet in the changing room is half empty and all of his clothes are on the floor.
Wei Xiu has piled and folded the clothes into a birdnest-like space and is hugging his pyjamas while asleep in the middle of the nest.
The young master is nesting.
Xu Yunchun knows that nesting is a behavior some alphas will exhibit during their rut, but it’s his first time seeing it.
“Young master?” Xu Yunchun calls softly.
“Chunchun?” Wei Xiu wakes up, “Is that you?”
Xu Yunchun sees some tear marks on Wei Xiu’s face, and feels a pain in his heart.
“I came back.” Xu Yunchun reaches out his hand, “How long have you been like this, young master? Have you eaten? How about you come out…”
Xu Yunchun is not even done speaking before he gets pulled into the nest.
He’s shocked. Was this some kind of trap? With an adorable young master acting as bait!
–
Xu Yunchun is held down by Wei Xiu and ravaged.
Xu Yunchun’s heat hasn’t come yet, so when they finish the first round, he is still very aware. But the same can’t really be said about Wei Xiu. As an S-rank alpha, his rut is more severe than any other alpha. And this time he has started the symptoms of nesting and desiring his partner, so his sanity isn’t quite clear after one round.
“Young master, you haven’t eaten for the day have you?” Xu Yunchun climbs up, “First, I’ll prepare some food for you, or else you’ll get too absorbed later and have no strength left to eat.”
But as he takes one step out, his leg is grabbed by Wei Xiu and pulled back in.
“Young master?” Xu Yunchun turns around confused.
“Chunchun…” Wei Xiu looks at Xu Yunchun, uneasy, “Chunchun is abandoning the young master?”
Xu Yunchun’s heart melts instantly.
