"You are... Chu Lin."
Chu Xinglin didn't expect Gu Huan to recognize him, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Dream of being the prince's substitute?"
"You moved into my house just to get to know me again?"
Gu Huan looked at Chu Xinglin's hand on his wrist. His golden eyes couldn't tell his emotions. He just asked coldly, "If I don't find out, how long do you want to keep it a secret from me?"
No wonder he couldn't find "Chu Lin", Chu Lin was right beside him. Gu Huan clenched his fingers.
He didn't understand, he was just a little villain who betrayed him, why did the prince put so much effort into acting in front of him.
Let him really think that he has such a good friend.
Could it be that seeing him trying every possible means to find Chu Lin, that fictitious "friend", satisfy the prince's desire for revenge
Chu Xinglin's tone paused.
I don’t know if he can be saved now that he says he is Chu Lin and is just disguised as Chu Xinglin to see him.
After a moment of silence, Chu Xinglin made up his mind not to hide it from Gu Huan anymore.
The seeds of doubt have been planted. How long can he keep it secret
Gu Huan was already so angry now. If he pretended to be another person to approach Gu Huan and fall in love with him, he would probably be even angrier. One lie had to be covered up with countless lies. He was not going to continue to approach Gu Huan as Chu Lin. If he could make it clear today, it would be a good opportunity.
After discovering that things were developing in a direction he had not expected, Chu Xinglin took the initiative to change his strategy.
"Gu Huan, I can explain."
"The first time I concealed my identity was because I couldn't show up at that time. You betrayed me then, and I was really angry. I admit that I wanted to tease you at that time. But later, I felt that you were not that kind of person, and I even fell in love with you. So I always wanted to tell you my identity."
"When we met again, I thought you couldn't accept that Alpha liked you, but I wanted to get closer to you, so I came up with a bad idea and hid it again. But I didn't mean to tease you. I just wanted you to forget the character of Chu Lin and see me now."
Chu Xinglin's blue eyes are like a sea of stars, filled with stars and full of sincerity.
Gu Huan pursed his lips slightly.
It’s a little hard to believe that the prince in the original book who counted his crimes and sent himself to prison is the same person as the person in front of me who likes me.
Because he couldn't believe it, he would carefully consider every word Chu Xinglin said.
"Since you think I don't like alpha... then why are you here now?" The golden eyes sparkled as he looked at the tall alpha in front of him.
"This is because..."
This question really stumped Chu Xinglin.
Because of what.
Because he knew that Gu Huan's glands had been modified, and he would die soon due to the lack of the alpha mark.
He had been thinking about how to get closer to Gu Huan by directly breaking through the boundary between the monarch and the minister, until Gu Huan's marriage proposal gave him an opportunity. If Gu Huan didn't know that he was Chu Lin, now would be a great opportunity to get closer to him, but now, Gu Huan was angry that he concealed his identity, and if he said that he knew that his glands had been modified, it would seem like he had ulterior motives.
Seeing that Chu Xinglin didn't know how to start, Gu Huan answered his own question.
"Most people would think my marriage proposal was a joke." He paused for a moment, then continued, "Unless you know my secret."
Gu Huan did not miss any subtle expression on Chu Xinglin's face.
He really knows his secrets.
Gu Huan's lips moved slightly and opened a little.
Knowing my secret, I rushed over immediately.
Here comes another alpha like this, who knows he is an omega and thinks he can claim him as his own.
With his brows tightly furrowed, Gu Huan felt a chill all over his body.
He has psychological trauma from similar situations.
In his previous life, elves were very rare and good-looking. Because he was driven out of the territory by the elves, he was often targeted by some nobles. He had some bad memories, so he didn't like others approaching him with the intention of taking him for themselves.
He didn't want to belong to anyone.
But in this life, his identity as an omega put him at an inherent disadvantage.
There are endless alphas like this, all aiming for his glands.
Gu Huan's expression seemed to ease a little, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips. He was beautiful but still cold. The look he cast on Chu Xinglin seemed to be separated by layers of mountains.
"Since you already know this, there's nothing we can do about it."
“I’m working on that.”
You can abandon the previous method you thought of, but you can continue to look for other methods.
Gu Huan said expressionlessly.
"Give me some time, and I'll solve the problem of estrus right away."
"If you can still use me, I will continue to stay here."
"If you can't use me, I will resign as the commander of the legion and leave here."
Anyway, if he resigns again, Marshal Gu will definitely let him go.
In the dimly lit bar, Gu Huan's expression was unclear, and Chu Xinglin realized the meaning of his words.
He is drawing a line between himself and him.
Regardless of whether he said he could or couldn't, Gu Huan didn't want to have any relationship with him other than that of monarch and subject.
If he forced Gu Huan and forcibly marked Gu Huan, Gu Huan would directly classify him as a person like Chu Fengyuan who trampled on his dignity. He would never be able to win Gu Huan's heart in this life.
Chu Xinglin frowned and spoke in a low voice.
"Gu Huan, why don't you believe me? I really like you."
“… … ..”
In fact, for Gu Huan.
Chu Xinglin's confession at this moment was like a knife hanging over his head.
In the original novel, there is a very famous queen in this empire. She is the biological son of Marshal Gu who adopted the original owner, Gu Nan, and is also the mother and father of Chu Xinglin. Because he was favored by the current emperor Chu Shengyun, he was marked as an alpha and completely cut off from his previous career. His life was controlled by pheromones and estrus, and he was very painful.
Gu Huan knew that this world placed many restrictions on omegas, and the higher the status of the omega, the less they could be themselves.
Having him accept the mark of alpha in order to stay alive is enough to subvert his original personality.
Being marked by Chu Xinglin was something he had never considered.
In the original text, Chu Xinglin died on the battlefield and left no offspring, so Nie Chuan was elected as the new emperor based on his reputation.
Now that he has traveled through time and is on Chu Xinglin's side, he will definitely try his best to avoid Chu Xinglin's death.
If he and Chu Xinglin really go that far, he is very likely to become the next Gu Nan.
He doesn't want to be the next Gu Nan.
After figuring out the key, Gu Huan spoke even more coldly.
"But I don't like you..."
"There are so many omegas who want to be the Crown Princess. Please find someone you like."
"As a general, my value will be higher."
"Please think about it."
Gu Huan thought, Chu Xinglin at least didn't release pheromones directly to force him, so there should still be room for negotiation.
If it came to the point where there was nothing left to talk about, he might use more extreme means to leave the prince.
After Gu Huan finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Xinglin's hand that was pinching his wrist, and used his other free hand to pull apart his fingers one by one, then touched his already reddened skin. He nodded slightly, and turned away.
Just when he was about to avoid Chu Xinglin, someone grabbed his waist from behind.
Gu Huan froze in place.
Chu Xinglin's pheromones completely poured onto his glands, making him unable to move.
However, the alpha who was emitting pheromones to Gu Huan's glands was unaware of it, and his voice sounded like a knife cutting through it, carrying some hurt emotions.
"You don't like me at all?"
"Why are you still looking for "Chu Lin"?"
"Chu Lin is also me."
Gu Huan's eyelashes drooped, his eyes flickering slightly, his fingers curled up together, his head lowered, trying his best to avoid the breath of the person behind him, and trying his best to stay calm.
"I don't like Chu Lin either. I just want to solve the problem of estrus."
As he spoke, Gu Huan pushed away Chu Xinglin's hand that was locking around his waist. In a hurry, he just looked for an accessible aisle and turned hastily.
Fortunately, Chu Xinglin did not continue to chase after him.
Gu Huan leaned against the cold wall, panting.
If Chu Xinglin had blew on his glands again, he would have probably given in. He was approaching the estrus period and could not stand the slightest stimulation.
Stand still for a while.
Gu Huan suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He's not in heat... ... he seems... ... really... ... not well.
impossible.
I just checked it when he came out. His mental strength was still relatively stable. It should be impossible for him to enter the estrus period so quickly.
His whole body was limp. Gu Huan held his forehead with his fingers, his black hair passing through his fingers and looking a little messy. A fierce look flashed across his golden eyes, and he pursed his lips tightly.
There was something wrong with the glass of water he just drank.
The mental power expanded and spread around the black hair, and everything around was clearly visible.
Including several people following behind him.
Using his mental power, he observed that there was a golden light flashing in their eyes, similar to that of the security guard last time. Gu Huan silently clenched his fingers and tensed up.
Several middle-aged alphas, who looked as if their bodies were hollowed out by sex, raised their hands in front of them as if trying to grab something. They stared with obsessed eyes at the black-haired young man who was leaning his head against the wall with a limp body, and kept muttering.
"Omega, omega, mark."
"Tag him."
"Tag him."
When everyone gathered around, the person who had just been leaning weakly against the wall suddenly squatted down.
He swept several of them with a kick, then turned around and threw the person attacking him from behind to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Amid the constant howling of the alpha lying on the ground, Gu Huan staggered and supported himself against the wall. He leaned against the wall and walked step by step into the toilet cubicle in the corridor, locking himself inside.
In fact, this was completely useless. It could only keep his embarrassment within the narrow door.
The lower body was wet.
When I touched the gland with my hands, I no longer felt comfort, but only a stinging pain.
Everything feeds back a message to Gu Huan.
He now has no other choice but to find someone to mark him.
Because if his mental power erupts now, everyone in this bar will die...
Under the dual pressure of mental strength and estrus, a rare moment of clarity flashed through Gu Huan's mind.
No, there are other ways.
Gu Huan took out the injection for self-destructing mental power from the dimensional space ring with trembling fingers.
If his mental strength was destroyed, at least he wouldn't face certain death, he would just feel very uncomfortable.
The needle had been inserted. Just like the last time he injected the inhibitor, his fingers could not hold the needle down this time. He tried several times but failed to get it right. While Gu Huan was injecting with all his strength, a familiar pheromone approached from outside the shaky toilet door.
There was some kind of uncontrollable tremor in his voice as he shouted in a suppressed voice, "Get out!"
"Gu Huan. Gu Huan, please let me help you, please." The alpha outside the door, who always kept his word, had a hint of pleading in his voice.
"You can use Chu Lin to solve the estrus period."
"Why can't you use me? Am I not the crown prince? You dared to stab me in the neck with a needle, and now you don't dare to use me?"
"Gu Huan, Gu Huan. If you don't like me, then don't like me. Don't hurt yourself..."
"Once you have resolved the estrus period, I will let you continue to be my general. Okay."
“… … ..”
Gu Huan's golden eyes blinked almost absentmindedly, and his fingers trembled so much that he couldn't hold the needle firmly in his hand.
The raging mental power destroyed the door between the two people.
The alpha with blonde hair rushed over and hugged Gu Huan who was still in a daze.
She tilted her head and bit his gland without hesitation.
