The sweet-scented Omega haphazardly tugged at the Alpha's suit, but just like a kitten, couldn't even unbutton the shirt. Meanwhile, Ye Jindu casually placed the shizheng on the bed.

He pressed his hand against Shizeng's wrist, while his other hand slid under the loose hoodie and reached the other party's chest. Ye Jindu pulled up the hoodie, revealing a large expanse of Omega's bare, pale skin. His fingers traced along the skin where the faintly visible ribs could be seen, but deliberately avoided touching the most desired area.

Shi Zhen yearned desperately, her throat choked with sobs, yet her wrists remained bound and unable to attain freedom.

Ye Jindu scrutinized the other person's tormenting expression caused by love, and then thought of the glimpse of their fair neck when they sat quietly on the chair drinking milk. Somehow, their heartstrings were stirred, and they proceeded to take off Shizheng's pants.

Shi Zheng expertly kicked away the obstructing pants and her slender legs pressed against Ye Jindu's kua, eliciting a flustered expression from him that made Ye Jindu burst into laughter. He was just like a mother cat in heat, who moments ago was cold and aloof, trying to distance himself, but now he was eagerly pressing up against her. Truly, he was a fragile Omega swayed by pheromones, someone who one could look down upon, yet feel compelled to protect.

"Umm—"

In the second before reaching the climax, Shen suddenly became weak in the limbs. He unexpectedly hugged his partner tightly, face pressed against face. After a moment of suffocating pleasure, his whole body was covered in goosebumps, like a human sensitive plant that trembles at the slightest touch.

Ye Jindu lifted the Omega, who was still immersed in climax and hadn't recovered their senses, with one hand. The wet bedsheets were pulled down to the floor, and there was a towel on the swing chair in the corner of the room. Holding Shi Zhen, Ye Jindu took a few steps and Shi Zhen clung tightly to Alpha's shoulder, their chest brushing against the cold suit jacket.

Ye Jindu took a bath towel and wrapped it around the motionless Omega.

"Put me down."

Shi Zhen blushed and shyly muttered a sentence, unable to muster the courage to look at the other person again.

Alpha carried his soft little bottom and sensed the sudden tension in the other party's intention. He wrapped Omega in a towel and incidentally cushioned his bottom.

"I held you."

Ye Jindu spoke in a low, magnetic, and serene voice.

Wrapped entirely in a bath towel, the zither felt a temporary sense of security after the climax, much like a frightened patient needing a blanket. Even after the omega had been mated, they still lacked a sense of safety, and this physiological factor of causing psychological depression became evident after the second intimate encounter with an alpha. Even the zither herself felt the terrifying impact of this influence.

To their surprise, they found themselves being held in Alpha's embrace like a child. This posture was both embarrassing and yet strangely fulfilling, alleviating their sense of emptiness.

Unable to hold back any longer, Shizheng blushed with anger and nearly wanted to disappear into the ground.

"It's alright."

Ye Jindu slowly stroked his sweaty back, trying to help him relax.

"Feeling tired? Take a rest, I'll be here keeping you company."

Shi Zhao didn't know why his tone could be so gentle, like a parent coaxing a young child. His idea did not come from childhood experience, but rather from observing others and theatrical performances. This patient and nurturing tone and manner were emotions he had repeatedly pondered but had never truly experienced. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt it vividly and profoundly. It was like a child who had never received candy before, unable to bear closing their eyes.

Ye Jindu lowered his head and glanced at Shi Zheng, only to find her wide-eyed, seemingly stubbornly resisting something.

He thought that his consolation was not sufficient, so he became even more gentle and orderly, coaxing the other person to close their eyes.

"Darling, close your eyes."

To Ye Jindu, it was just a casual and indifferent address spoken on a whim. But to Shizheng at this moment, it was like a sweet candy laced with poison. Some emotions, suppressed for many years, were pulled out from the ground and discarded, only to grow vigorously again like towering trees that could block the sky.

"It's really nice to be taken care of like this."

Shi Zhen admired her thoughtfully.

In the familiar surroundings, with the comforting pheromones of Alpha, Shizheng inevitably became overwhelmed with fatigue after going through heat. He leaned on Ye Jindu's shoulder and closed his eyes, unable to see anything anymore.
