Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

“Nothing.” Ling Changfeng said lightly, “It’s just that it’s been a long time, and my conscience is a little heavy.”

Xu Xinghe was stunned: “Conscience? It’s heavy?”

What’s wrong with you? Doesn’t your conscience hurt to come to me in the middle of the night and ask for a hush fee?!

“After all, I have always been a law-abiding citizen.” Ling Changfeng said.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

It’s the same as saying that he is not abiding by the law… Well, although to a certain extent, their behavior of evading the mastermind’s monitoring by sleeping in different beds for more than half a month is indeed illegal.

But it didn’t seem to be long since the last time.
He was just marked a few days ago, and last night…they obviously slept together more than once or twice.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe’s eyes were a little dodgy: “Then what do you want?”

Ling Changfeng glanced at him casually, and said in a casual tone: “Tonight, let’s continue to sleep together.”

So the two of them entered into the familiar “same bed but not sleeping together” routine again once more.

In fact, Xu Xinghe did not particularly resist this routine.
After all, the two of them could sleep in the same bed as if they were sleeping on separate beds.

Two people, two quilts, wrapped themselves tightly and did not invade each other’s space.

Furthermore, he quite believed that with Ling Changfeng’s character and determination, he would not do anything to himself.

After all, he survived the estrus period before…

But Ling Changfeng has become weird recently.

This made Xu Xinghe feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It wasn’t unease, but more like a sense of helplessness when facing the unknown.

He was lying on the bed in a daze, obviously already sleepy, but he couldn’t fall asleep.
In the end, he took the rare initiative to speak, intending to chat with him for a while.

“Have you encountered anything recently? – Stop pretending, I know you haven’t slept.”

Ling Changfeng turned his back to him, didn’t open his eyes, but said slowly, “Why are you asking?”

“I feel that something is not right with you recently…” Xu Xinghe yawned.
Although he couldn’t sleep, the sleepiness was already eroding his brain.

“Maybe.” Ling Changfeng said in a low voice, “Didn’t I just experience your—”

The voice stopped abruptly, and he changed his words: “My susceptibility period.”

“Oh, so it is.” Xu Xinghe was already a little confused.
He wasn’t as defensive in this nighttime sleepy state as when he was awake during the day, and looked much easier to talk to.

He asked softly, “So, you were affected by pheromones?”

The person behind him was silent and did not answer.

There was a small lamp on the head of the bed, and the warm orange light spread on the two of them.

“I think you’ve been influenced a bit by pheromones recently…” Xu Xinghe also turned his back to him and slowly closed his eyes.

But his mouth didn’t stop, but he kindly helped him analyze: “Although this is also human nature, but now it’s 329 years in the Galaxy Calendar, we can’t just be emotional animals.
We must learn to analyze problems rationally… You see, from our identity, to age, to personality, we’re not suitable anywhere.
Only the matching degree of our pheromone is relatively high…”

He was drowsily delivering a long speech, completely unaware that every time he said a word, the mismatched pupils turned a shade darker.

Ling Changfeng opened his eyes at some point, turned around, and stared at Xu Xinghe without saying a word.

Xu Xinghe felt a little cold, so he stretched out his claws in a daze and wrapped the quilt around him even tighter.

After a while, Ling Changfeng looked away and turned to look at the night skies outside the window.

It was a night without wind and moon, quiet and lonely.

It’s just that the dark clouds cover the moon, making the whole starry sky bleak.

Ling Changfeng sighed in his heart and closed his eyes again.

At this moment, he heard Xu Xinghe say –

“But I can understand you…because I also seem to be affected a little…”

Ling Changfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the moonlight, the dual-colored pupils flickered slightly.

He looked at Xu Xinghe’s back, lowered his voice, and cautiously confirmed: “How are you affected?”

Xu Xinghe’s mind was already blurred, and he replied, “Pheromones… Do your pheromones smell like the sea? I have been to the seaside in the summer vacation, and the sea breeze is salty, obviously not as good as yours…”

Outside the window, the dark clouds dissipated, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth again.

The moonlight shone for thousands of miles, and the stars and rivers twinkled.

The first breeze of the night lifted the treetops with a rustling sound.

The night is just right, making one look forward to the next dawn.

After Xu Xinghe said these words, there was no more sound, as if he had finally fallen asleep.

Ling Changfeng suddenly half stood up: “Xinghe?”

The person opposite did not respond.

Only uniform breathing sounded.

Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe’s sleeping profile.
His eyes swept from the man’s thick eyelashes and closed eyebrows to his pale pink lips… Finally, it landed on the sensitive glands in the back of his neck.

A faint scar lay there, a bit dazzling, and infinitely affectionate.

After an unknown period of time, Ling Changfeng suddenly leaned over slowly-

And engraved a long kiss on his ear.

Under the moonlight, Ling Changfeng said in a low voice –

“Idiot, this is called hush money.”

 

Guess this is considered their first kiss? Or is it?
