Chapter 12: Can you get me some aphrodisiacs?

In the end, out of the four fish, three ended up in Luo Songran’s belly. Duan Yizhou couldn’t say anything; after all, he was the one at fault. He was hungry too, but he couldn’t possibly compete with Luo Songran for food. It would be too undignified.

“Is it delicious?” Duan Yizhou asked as he watched Luo Songran eat with relish.

“Would it not be delicious if I caught it myself?” Luo Songran glanced at him.

Duan Yizhou was speechless. He was in the wrong. “Do you still want to eat? I can help you catch more.”

Luo Songran leaned back in his chair, patting his full belly. He leisurely wiped his hands with a wet tissue. He let out a long sigh, “Alas, belated affection is lighter than grass.”

Duan Yizhou decided not to say anything more. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. The urgent matter now was to gain Luo Songran’s trust so that he could continue observing the chip data. But how should he broach the subject?

“Duan Yizhou.”

Duan Yizhou looked at Luo Songran. Hearing the boy address him by his real name felt somewhat awkward, but he had no reason to demand the boy show more respect and address him directly as uncle. “What’s the matter?”

“So, that night at the bar, you were holding a tablet to observe me? What were you observing?” Luo Songran tossed the wet tissue into the mini trash can beside his feet, leaned forward, and moved closer to Duan Yizhou. “The chip can record my body data, so that’s why you asked me why my heartbeat was so fast that night, right?”

Duan Yizhou was surprised by Luo Songran’s good memory. He remembered what he had said that night. “Yes.”

“Then you also know my measurements.”

Duan Yizhou nodded. “Yes.”

“Is the chip’s measurement always accurate?” Luo Songran asked back.

“Accurate. The chip scans the body as soon as it enters the body, and within two seconds, it can output all the data of the body, including gender, pheromones, basic body condition, health status, medical history, and other data.”

Talking about his profession, Duan Yizhou emitted a different aura from usual, indeed quite charming. Luo Songran stood up and stopped in front of Duan Yizhou.

Duan Yizhou was taken aback, not knowing what Luo Songran was going to do. “What’s wrong?”

“Since you’re in charge of this project, it means your eyesight is pretty good.” Luo Songran placed his hands on Duan Yizhou’s chair, lifted his right leg slightly, bent his knee, and pressed his knee against the middle of Duan Yizhou’s chair. Then he leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, “Professor Duan, I’ve just eaten, can you measure my waist for me? My stomach feels a bit bloated, I want to see how much thicker my waist is compared to noon.”

This sounded somewhat improper.

Duan Yizhou was about to check with his watch when he heard Luo Songran say again, “Use your hands to pinch my waist. You’re so professional, you should be able to feel it, right?”

“… “

Seeing no reaction from Duan Yizhou, Luo Songran became increasingly annoyed. How could there be such an indifferent alpha? He thought back to the alphas who had pursued him like moths to a flame before. Compared to this wooden man, they were much more passionate.

Thirty-two years old and never made a move? There must be something wrong.

He lifted his shirt, bit the corner of it, and pulled Duan Yizhou’s hands to his waist. He said vaguely and angrily, “Measure it, measure it now.”

The milk-white flat waist and abdomen were bound by black pants, outlining the waist on both sides. It was directly in front of Duan Yizhou. Perhaps because he had just eaten, his stomach was a bit fuller than at noon, or perhaps because he was angry, his stomach moved with his breath.

Especially when held by two large hands, the waist that was almost completely gripped, it was just a slight squeeze. The scene had a strong visual impact.

Duan Yizhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. When his hand was forced to grip his waist, he had already measured the waist circumference. It was very slim, much slimmer than the average omega and beta population, even slimmer than the average male population in omegas and betas. And Luo Songran wasn’t considered short either. Although his height of 1.76 meters wasn’t tall, it was still decent among the beta population.

But this waist was truly slender. His hands were 22cm long, and he could measure the waist with both hands.

“Have you measured it, Professor Duan?” Seeing the man looking at his waist for a long time, Luo Songran didn’t believe anyone could evade measuring his waist. “How many centimeters?”

“65 centimeters.” Duan Yizhou was about to withdraw his hand, but it was pressed against Luo Songran’s buttocks by Luo Songran. Even through the sports pants, he could feel the curves. The eyes under his glasses changed again.

“And the hip measurement?” Luo Songran asked with a smile.

“88 centimeters.”

Luo Songran wanted to put Duan Yizhou’s hand on his chest, but Duan Yizhou held his hand back, not letting him move. He lowered his eyes and met Duan Yizhou’s gaze. The look in his eyes was no longer as gentle as before; it was a bit deeper.

Especially with the contrast of the gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze seemed stern and dangerous.

“No need to measure. Chest circumference is 85 centimeters.” Duan Yizhou let go of the unruly hand. He pushed the chair back and stood up to distance himself from this kind of control. “Your figure is proportionate and beautiful.”

Luo Songran let go of the corner of his shirt. “Do you like it?”

This time, he heard the answer he least wanted to hear.

“RanRan, liking someone should never be hasty. Looks, physique, or even voice can’t be the sole basis for affection. They can be factors, but they’re not enough to support liking.” Duan Yizhou walked into the RV, paused halfway, and added, “And age is also something to consider.”

With that, he went inside.

Luo Songran stood still, watching Duan Yizhou’s retreating figure as he entered the RV. He remained silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly. What was he being so serious about? He followed suit and went inside. It wasn’t like he was seriously in love. What if it’s just about the looks? He’s fine with that.

Night had already fallen, and the RV door closed slowly. Although there had been some subtle verbal sparring earlier, the atmosphere at the moment was still harmonious. After all, in the eyes of those with thick skin, “as long as they themselves are not embarrassed, then others aren’t either.”

With this basic principle in mind, getting along should pose no major problems.

Luo Songran lay on the bed playing with his phone, thinking about what else he could do to make Duan Yizhou like him. He wouldn’t be satisfied if he didn’t succeed.

On the sofa by the window, Duan Yizhou sat, exporting today’s chip data on his tablet. The more he looked, the more furrowed his brows became.

Gender: Type A beta

Pheromones: Citrus rose

Allergens: Egg Protein

Sinus rhythm: 69 beats per minute

Blood pressure: Systolic pressure 102 mmHg / Diastolic pressure 59 mmHg (constitutional hypotension)

Temperature: 37.6°C (chip adaptation low-grade fever)

Chip adaptation compatibility: 76% [Data reference: 90%]

Friendly reminder: The implantation has a history of egg protein allergy. It is recommended to minimize the intake of animal protein to avoid allergies.

He put down the tablet and looked at Luo Songran playing on the bed. “RanRan, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Luo Songran was in the middle of a game with his roommate.

Seeing the situation, Duan Yizhou walked to the bedside, reached out to touch his forehead. It’s summer now, and even compared to normal people, this temperature is hot. The fact that there’s a low-grade fever indicates something’s not right.

How could this happen?

The proposal for the development of Chip 2.0 has been around for thirteen years, and it started to be promoted five years ago. It’s supposed to be more efficient and safer, especially for people allergic to egg protein. Normally, fusion should occur within a week, but it’s unexpectedly difficult in Luo Songran’s body. Although there isn’t a strong rejection reaction, this degree of adaptation is still insufficient. At least a 90% chip compatibility is needed to be considered safe.

“What?” Luo Songran felt Duan Yizhou touching his forehead while he was playing the game. “Is it too late for me now? This young master is very angry now.”

“You’ve been running a low-grade fever these past few days. Haven’t you felt uncomfortable?” 

Luo Songran had just finished the level in the game and shook his head upon hearing Duan Yizhou’s question. “No, everything’s normal. Am I running a fever?”

“Yes.”

Luo Songran noticed that Duan Yizhou’s tone wasn’t quite right, sounding a bit low. He smiled and leaned closer. “What, worried about me? Still saying you don’t like me?”

“Go to sleep. Stop playing on your phone all day. The chip’s condition these past two days has been good. Keep up the good work.” Duan Yizhou arranged the pillow for him and stood up to go take a shower.

“So, are we going to continue our date tomorrow?”

Duan Yizhou paused in his steps. He took off his glasses and held them in his hand. Can he stop observing now? No, he can’t. “As long as I’m not busy, I’ll come to accompany you.”

“Are you responsible for everyone like this? Playing with them, climbing mountains, fishing, camping? Is a researcher like you so free?” Luo Songran asked what he wanted to ask the most.

“No, only you.”

Luo Songran chuckled. “Is it because I’m the most imperfect among the implanters of your chip, and you can’t allow such mistakes?”

Duan Yizhou remained silent. After a while, he said, “Rest.”

With that, he stepped into the bathroom and closed the door.

The smile on Luo Songran’s face gradually faded. Ripples appeared in the amber depths of his eyes. He gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. It was a coincidence; he was also someone who didn’t allow mistakes. What he wanted and planned must be carried out according to his will.

He picked up his phone to call a friend. The call was quickly answered, and the voice on the other end was gentle and somewhat surprised. “Songran? Why do you have time to call me today? Miss me?”

Luo Songran leaned against the head of the bed, his long legs slightly bent. He gazed in the direction of the bathroom as he replied, “Brother Yu, can you get hold of some aphrodisiacs?”

“Which gender’s?”

“Omega.”
