The first floor and the attic were not as badly damaged as Zhou Yan expected, at least his super telescope was saved, and some other instruments were naturally broken, but not to the point of driving him crazy.

The bedroom and the courtyard were the hardest hit areas. The two mystics seemed to know that the two of them were hiding in the bedroom, so they concentrated their firepower on this area. Probably also hoped to surprise Luo Futu and let him suffer another injury, so they concentrated all the power to bombard their bedroom.

What hurt him the most was the drug injections that were kept in the courtyard because they needed to be cryogenically preserved, almost all of them were destroyed.

The courtyard was bombed very badly, the ground was lifted up a layer, and those medicines buried in the snow naturally also followed his courtyard and died a heroic death.

Zhou Yan expressionlessly squatted in front of a pile of broken glass bottles; his heart was aching as if it was dripping blood. Most of these were inhibitors and barrier agents. Zhou Yan would make a whole year’s worth of inhibitors at once, just in time to use them up, and didn’t make new ones in the middle of the year.

Although he had researched and mastered the way to make potions, some raw materials were not so easy to find; some materials needed to be picked in late spring, some in early summer… He spent a lot of effort to find these things and extract the active ingredients, and even if he could break through the seasonal constraints by means of greenhouse cultivation, it would take a long time to get all the raw materials.

…What was he going to do for the rest of the year?

Zhou Yan was pulling through the broken bottles for half a day, but could not find a complete bottle. Some broken glass bottles were left with some residual liquid, but considering their safety, Zhou Yan still did not dare to collect the residual liquid that might have been contaminated.

When Zhou Yan entered the house, Luo Futu saw his expression drop and, thinking he was sad about the destroyed compound, comforted him by saying, “It’s not too late to dig up the corpse and flog it.”

Zhou Yan sighed. “This kind of thing does not help to solve the problem, it’s a waste of time. I’m now worried that someone will come after me and put me in harm’s way.”

“Those two want to take credit in front of their master, they are acting alone, no one else will come.” Luo Futu finished by asking, “What do you need to solve?”

“…” Of course it was the problem of inhibitors and blockers, but he could not let Luo Futu know about this matter. This person’s character was so bad, he would make some ridiculous remark.

The few remaining inhibitors that had not been destroyed would last at most two weeks…

Luo Futu saw that Zhou Yan did not say anything and guessed, “Are you worried about the destroyed house and compounds? It looks like it’s a lot of trouble to repair.”

Zhou Yan gave him a look. “It’s about time you think this. Too bad you can’t move and have to escape helping with the labor again.”

Luo Futu understood that he was mocking him and gave a light hum. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t help.”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows high. “You don’t want to help. If your legs are not working, I can carry you on my back and put you on the roof.”

Luo Futu couldn’t help but laugh a little. How childish.

Zhou Yan also felt a little childish and began to think of a solution to the problem. He was now in no condition to recreate those potions. The most important thing was to hurry up and fix the roof and walls, otherwise there was no place to sleep at night.

Zhou Yan looked up at the ceiling, where a hole was broken. The moonlight spilled down from the hole, and the cold wind also came in through the hole…very cold.

Zhou Yan sighed and found some worn out bedding cotton to plug the biggest hole. “The floor heating is blown out, it will be cold tonight.”

Luo Futu took a look at the only bed in the bedroom. “Then we can only sleep in one bed for one night.”

Zhou Yan reflexively frowned. Luo Futu seemed to read his mind and grinned. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.”

Zhou Yan turned to look at Luo Futu, who was playing with Jerry.

Interestingly enough, when Zhou Yan found Jerry, the floor around him was blown up by the two mystics, but he was unharmed. It turned out that Luo Futu’s clothes saved his life. Luo Futu’s black robe was soaking wet and was hanging in the living room to dry, so perhaps Jerry was running all over the floor when he knocked the clothes down and covered his body to save him from the disaster.

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but curl his lips. “If you like it, you can have it.”

Luo Futu smiled and raised his eyes to look at him. “Suddenly so good to me?”

“Because I think you two are more related. And now you have difficulty moving, in case you encounter any unexpected situation, you can also let Jerry run to me for help.”

Luo Futu did not say anything, he stretched out a finger and poked its belly, and Jerry made a mechanical sound. “Welcome, welcome.”

“Interesting, that’s your voice, isn’t it?”

Zhou Yan didn’t answer, but the answer was obvious. Zhou Yan lived here alone, who else would record for him? Luo Futu carried Jerry and handed it over. “It’s too monotonous, record me.”

“…You can’t record yourself.”

Luo Futu did not know what to think, suddenly laughed low, and pinched Jerry’s head. “Reasonable.”

The crocus flower seeds sent by Bai Yueqing were also saved by Luo Futu’s robe, so Luo Futu was really blessed by God: the floor of his house was blown away, but what was useful to him was preserved intact.

Zhou Yan found two thick quilts and piled them on the bed, and used the bulge of the quilts to make a natural dividing line to keep Luo Futu firmly on the other side.

With this pretentious operation done, Zhou Yan had a kind of illusion like they were inside a brain-damaged, dog-blood love drama, where the main character omega was pretending to be an alpha and mixed into the military school, but he was unprecedented at this time to be able to be in love with the master, because as an omega, his self-protection awareness should be stronger…

Especially in the case of not having any inhibitors.

Luo Futu was lying on the other side of the bed, because the quilt was blocking him. Zhou Yan could hardly see his face, but even if he could not see a stranger lying next to him, he did not sleep well.

Zhou Yan stared at the ceiling with wide eyes in the darkness and sighed deeply. Luo Futu’s voice suddenly sounded at that moment: “What, were you too excited to sleep in the same bed with me?”

Luo Futu’s question was so blunt that Zhou Yan wanted to kick him out.

“Self-important, you are no different from Jerry in my eyes.”

Luo Futu laughed twice. “That’s too much…”

After he finished, a hand suddenly reached over the quilt and patted the quilt towering up between them. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. If I really want to do something, this quilt can’t stop me.”

Zhou Yan said indifferently, “I hope so, otherwise you might get your head blown off by me.”

Just as Zhou Yan grew accustomed to Luo Futu’s eccentricity, Luo Futu also grew accustomed to Zhou Yan’s venom. He laughed a little and asked, “Haven’t you ever been interested in any alpha?”

“What do you mean?”

“Literally, casual conversation.”

Zhou Yan thought, I can’t sleep anyway, so let’s talk about it. He thought seriously for half a day. “There is one.”

Luo Futu’s face suddenly emerged from the other side of the quilt. “Who is it?”

Zhou Yan subconsciously turned his head sideways and glanced at him suspiciously. “What are you so excited about?”

Luo Futu stared at him for a moment, then slowly lay back. “Heh, just a little curious, I did not expect that you, such an iron tree, would also have a flowering time.”

Luo Futu said this sentence and then was silent for a long time. Just when Zhou Yan thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly spoke. “What kind of person is it?”

Zhou Yan muttered in his heart. Didn’t he say he was only “slightly” “a little” curious? Why do you want to ask? And his tone was very strange. I always feel that the next moment he will say “you fucking betrayed the working class” and so on.

“It was a former instructor of mine, he was very good, and during the time I studied with him, he was my target.”

Luo Futu snorted mockingly. “Not mistaking admiration for adoration.”

“Hmm?” Zhou Yan let out a puzzled snort. “When did I say I adored him? Didn’t you ask about the alpha I was interested in? I was only interested in him because he was so skilled in operating mecha that I couldn’t compete with him… But then I quickly surpassed him and lost interest in him.”

Luo Futu’s side was silent again, seemingly speechless.

“Who asked you this… I mean, omega in estrus stage will not only have physical dependence on alpha, but also psychologically, what is that called… Falling in love? It’s ridiculous, but you should have had it too.”

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes in the dark. “No.”

How could he, an alpha, fall in love with an alpha? Ridiculous.

Luo Futu was satisfied with this answer, and his tone became lively again, “What do you mean by mecha operation?”

“Mecha operation, it’s a course… I can’t explain it to you.”

–He didn’t know what mecha was, and he had to explain mecha after explaining mecha, and maybe he had to explain military school, or something else… Just think of the trouble.

Luo Futu did not ask further questions – Zhou Yan had a lot of secrets, in any case, there was plenty of time for him to learn later.

After Zhou Yan finished, he politely asked back, “What about you? Are you married?”

Luo Futu answered quickly, “No.”

Zhou Yan pondered, “By the way, you are the high priest, you will have many omega, right, three wives and six concubines?”

Luo Futu gave a soft “tsk”, “Nonsense.”

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and muttered curiously, “Why? Do you… Do you have some kind of hidden disease?”

Luo Futu was quiet for a while, then said, “Why don’t you try it yourself to see if I have any hidden illnesses?”

“…” Zhou Yan turned his back on Luo Futu’s side and ended the conversation decisively, “I’m sleeping.”

–It seems that no matter what era of alpha, they all care about this point.

However, Zhou Yan did not sleep well this night, I don’t know if it was because Luo Futu’s crow’s mouth was open, or because of the impact of the conversation before going to bed, causing Zhou Yan to have strange dreams.

It’s a very slutty, colorful kind.

Zhou Yan had never had this kind of dream, because he never thought of himself as an omega. How could he be interested in alpha? But inside the dream he did live being pressed underneath, and surprisingly enjoyed it a bit. Even in the dream world, Zhou Yan felt like his whole body was about to split open. He struggled to wake up, but the face of the person holding him down became clearer and clearer, with amber eyes, amber eyelashes, and long, hanging hair…

Zhou Yan broke out in a cold sweat, in this half-asleep, half-awake, he suddenly felt someone next to him, Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes, found that Luo Futu originally sleeping on the other side of the quilt ran over the quilt to him, and fell asleep face to face with him, very close to him. The latter suddenly moved forward, and Zhou Yan was taken into his arms with his arm around his waist.

The other side’s face instantly enlarged, Zhou Yan clearly heard his messy breathing. This scene was exactly the same as in the dream world.
