Chapter 50: Deep Kiss

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

The only light in the bathroom was blocked by the sliding door, and only a little bit of dim light came through. That little light shone on Ming Huan’s bare feet. The backs of his feet were still a little wet, and one foot was slightly on tiptoe while his rounded toes were unnaturally curled up.

Yu Hanzhou’s breathing was just behind him. After a moment of confusion, the little dragon’s fingertips slightly shrunk. Holding the door handle, his hand suddenly anxiously scratched at the door twice, and tugged at the lock several times. He was suddenly irritated that he could not open the door, and lifted the clean bare foot in preparation to kick directly at the door lock.

With this action, his body naturally leaned back a little. His back was pressed against a familiar embrace. He also reacted when his abdomen was caught by a long arm and both feet were off the ground because of inertia. He pulled at the hand that confined his waist, and his long, thin hands and feet swung and kicked, “Yu Hanzhou! You….”

The thin little dragon was thrown directly on his back onto the soft bed and more unpleasant curses were muffled in the blanket.

Yu Hanzhou pulled over the wooden high-backed chair beside the bed, and sat on it calmly. Ming Huan turned over in anger and cursed, “What’s wrong with you, Yu Hanzhou, you cheated me, you think I can’t beat you, right?”

“If you hadn’t cheated me first, how could I have cheated you?”

Ming Huan suddenly choked up, feeling righteous, and he even averted his eyes.

“You came into my room last night.”

“Didn’t you enter mine too?!”

“Heh.” Yu Hanzhou laughed meaningfully, “Yes, you just asked me not to use anything. You guessed it, didn’t you? I told you, there will be a sense. You can also sense that I am your….”

“No, no, no, no….” Ming Huan hugged Yu Hanzhou’s pillow and shook his head violently in denial, “I can’t feel it! I have no consciousness! Your pheromone is a normal smell, I have no sense of attraction, I think it’s possible that you have a problem with the instrument of the match accuracy test, we have to be calm, we know from that prediction differentiation, this, this thing may not be allowed, I, I, I….”

“I still say everything.”

In the dimness, a little light hit the side of his stern face.

The bridge of the nose was high, and the line of the brow bone was cold and soft, “Since you know everything, it’s not too late to say.”

His body leaned forward slightly, and his ten fingers were folded on his knees.

“Wrong, I’m your matched mate, and, judging from the pheromone fit, it’s a 98% match and an [absolute match].”

‘How, how much?’

‘98%?’

He and Xie Shuci only had a 67% match at the time, and the Xie family exploded, inviting him to dinner at their house that day, as if they had directly acquiesced to becoming family.

‘How could he and Yu Hanzhou have a 98% match?’

‘What was the concept of this, this, this in the dragon relationship’s determination?’

It was the alphas who would insist that they must be married to the one with that degree.

Ming Huan was not very well suited for love communication.

Now forced to stay in a room with Yu Hanzhou, chatting about this kind of awkward topic to the point that he wanted to just pass away, it made his every pore permeate with the stuffiness of not being able to breathe.

“What, what [absolute match]….” He suddenly regretted that he should have just packed up and left last night.

If this type of match was really so important to a dragon… then Yu Hanzhou would be like Xie Shuci, since he was matched with a completely unsustainable relationship – Xie Shuci was okay, he was an omega, and was a little weaker in terms of power. Yu Hanzhou was an alpha. If he had to marry him and engage with a lifetime mark, they would sink together. Then he would have a peaceful and quiet life.

“Actually, you listen to me.”

“Mn, speak.”

Ming Huan brewed for a while, “Matching, actually, is, it is a completely… physiological thing. So, you see, if I have to marry you because we’re matched up, then shouldn’t I also marry Xie Shuci?”

Alphas disliked hearing other names in the course of such extremely private conversations.

It was as if the little dragon’s attention was very unsettled, and was using a way to devote all his spirit into thinking about what was going on between them.

“You see, I matched up with Xie Shuci, but I hadn’t married him at the time, why, because I didn’t like him. Then now-“

‘How come this is getting harsher and harsher?’

“It’s not the same.” Yu Hanzhou eyelids slightly lifted, directly interrupting him to call out in the following sentence. “You and Xie Shuci are pre-matched. The body data used was when you broke your shell, but the hatchling dragon’s body continues to produce changes during the hatchling stage, just like, you were predicted to differentiate into an alpha, but ended up differentiating into omega. But you and I, it’s a match accuracy test. It’s a direct detection by pheromones at the time of differentiation, with no error in the visual data….”

‘It’s not a matter of error.’

‘The error is just a pretext for me!’

‘Why can’t you just go along with my pedestal?’

“Even if it’s intuitive, it’s still just data!”

It wasn’t as if Ming Huan had to convince Yu Hanzhou to ignore the fact that they matched – he thought that the match shouldn’t be important, but Yu Hanzhou thought that the match was important.

He knew the issue had to be resolved, but Yu Hanzhou was giving him too much of a tough time, and Ming Huan instinctively thought that it wasn’t a good time to talk.

As for when it would be, he wasn’t sure.

“Okay, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.” Ming Huan could only perfunctorily fess up for now. “Last night, I did wake up, and then I found you lying in my bed. I went into your room with the intention of sleeping in your bed, and just, just saw your special effects inhibitor. then I just, kind of guessed. I made it very clear, so open the door.”

“Not clear enough.”

“?”

“You still have to answer me, why did you just ask me if I used anything?”

“….” The little dragon completely pursed his lips and did not speak. He twisted and hugged the pillow as he also sat a little farther away from the edge of the bed.

This distant action obviously made the alpha in front of him very dissatisfied.

Yu Hanzhou obediently got up from the stool and sat directly on the side of the bed that was given up – as if when the little dragon moved over, it would be an invitation for them to sit a little closer.

He saw the little dragon’s eyes widen as he answered, “Special effects inhibitor.”

“You are worried about me.”

The room was filled with a strong smell of the special effects inhibitor, and Ming Huan came to not like this smell too much, so he now also felt dizzy from the smell. This was Yu Hanzhou’s special effects inhibitor. He should not be uncomfortable. But his face did not show impatience.

Yu Hanzhou was really quite straightforward.

“I think you should be mistaken. Maybe you think a match can make people go straight to marriage. I’m different, I can’t just decide hastily because of pheromone attraction or because I think that with you, I can give birth to a stronger offspring….”

Not knowing what should not be mentioned, the corners of Yu Hanzhou’s mouth actually raised with a slight smile at the end.

Ming Huan was taken aback by this little smile, ‘…. Did I say something that I shouldn’t have said again?’

Yu Hanzhou reached out and rubbed the top of the fluffy soft head of the little dragon sitting crouched in the corner of the bed, “Dragon eggs have to be taken into account. My Xiao Huan is really thoughtful.”

“But it’s too early to consider this. As things stand, you just have to think clearly about getting engaged to me or just getting married-“

“I’m thinking clearly! I’m talking to you about the engagement, I don’t want to be engaged to you, Yu Hanzhou, I think we don’t have the basis for love at all, do we? I hope you don’t use the right of engagement, I, I, I, I can compensate you in other ways.”

“Do you think you don’t like me?” Yu Hanzhou lowered his eyes and seemed to be in some kind of contemplation.

‘Ah! This old man finally heard my point.’

Yu Hanzhou’s face gradually grew solemn, and he moved a little closer to the little dragon. His body, just after bathing, had the sweet smell of the bathing agent and seemed to be able to disperse the pungent inhibitor smell a little.

“You and I have no attraction?”

Ming Huan replied with conviction, immediately and precisely, “Yes!”

A slight anxiety from rejection gripped the alpha’s mind again. It was like a dark cloud. Yu Hanzhou’s mouth pursed into a straight line, but he had to show his unhappiness too obviously as his jaw tensed up tightly and he was frozen for a moment. Suddenly, he reached out and gently embraced the little dragon who was a little stiff.

The two were separated by a soft pillow that the little dragon was holding in his arms.

His chin rested on Ming Huan’s shoulder, and he could hear the sound of his shallow breathing.

Ming Huan’s nervous heart seemed to be a little soothed by the sound.

“Holding you like this, will you not have any special feelings?”

“There is.”

Yu Hanzhou took the tip of his nose and rubbed the tip of Ming Huan’s ear. From this angle, he could easily see the barrier patch that was firmly attached under his neck.

His eyes darkened a little, and he then let go. He pressed his forehead against Ming Huan’s forehead. He held his arm and dropped a slight kiss on his soft left cheek.

This was the first time Yu Hanzhou kissed him somewhere other than his forehead.

A kiss on the cheek was by no means a polite one.

Ming Huan’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, and he sat dumbly while holding the pillow.

“How about this?”

When an indefinable sentiment emerged from the depths of his heart, Ming Huan’s fingertips started to get soft and numb as he held the pillow. It was as if he naturally wanted to let go of the pillow and allow this warm embrace without the slightest separation.

This made him a little overwhelmed.

“Your ‘sense’ is at the point where you will resist.”

Yu Hanzhou, as if doing an experimental observation with the tone, let Ming Huan go, “Ah?”

In perceiving that the little dragon did not have any feedback from the action, this big dragon’s eyes deepened in front of him.

Last time, when he had just differentiated that night, Ming Huan was not like this.

At that time he was hugged, he would fold into his arms, rub his cheek when he would raise his head, and even take his horns to actively rub his palm. All of those little natural affectionate movements were there.

Yu Hanzhou frowned slightly.

‘Was there a problem somewhere?’

While Ming Huan was stunned, Yu Hanzhou leaned down and lifted the little dragon’s thin chin.

He tenderly placed a kiss on Ming Huan’s lips.

The little dragon’s hand that was clutching the pillow tightened for a moment, and the nails elongated and dug into the soft cotton.

It was a shallow kiss.

Ming Huan helplessly hugged the pillow, but inexplicably closed his eyes.

Yu Hanzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly, ‘There was feedback!’

Thus, he also slowly closed his eyes and wrapped one hand around Ming Huan’s body to encircle his waist. He pushed the person into his arms and deepened the kiss as they tossed and turned.

“Woo–“

In an area of darkness, the little dragon’s tail stretched out.

Yu Hanzhou used a hand to slightly soothe the restless tail. The little dragon panicked and tried to push him away, but the sharp nails accidentally scratched his arm. the other party didn’t notice and Ming Huan could only put down his hand to tuck it into the pillow again.

He would wait until the end of this deep kiss.

Yu Hanzhou’s mood apparently changed for the better, “There is a mistake, Ming Huan, I am your future dragon mate, in human language, I am your future husband.”

Between dragon companions, they should, even with the most unusual physical contact, play a certain role in calming. It would naturally create a sense of dependence and trust. Especially after differentiation, it would become more and more obvious.

“The mate union between a dragon and another dragon, originally did not need any legal binding at all, it is the strongest relationship in itself. Only, the dragon race is scarce, we have this extra procedure in order to better integrate into human lifestyle. You and I have reached [a perfect match]. You are my dragon companion. As I said, I am special to you. You should have an awareness of it yourself….”

Ming Huan rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, somewhat dumbfounded, the slight flush on his ears burned both cheeks and spread to his neck. Luckily Yu Hanzhou had the light off, otherwise he would have been able to see a ripe tomato dragon nestled in his quilt while poking holes all over his pillow.

“What awareness? What awareness?!” Ming Huan said stiffly as his toes curled up and scrunched the sheets beneath his feet, “I don’t have any awareness! I didn’t like you originally, I admit that you were a little misunderstood before by me, and now the misunderstanding is solved. But this is not like, ah, me and you, in fact, I am not familiar with you, although we have been living together for three years, but only in the last month were we able to slowly begin some contact with each other, Yu Hanzhou, you, you…. You are also too, too much!”

The little dragon seemed furious, and the already tattered pillow in his hand almost shattered by his sharp nails.

Even the bottom of his eyes forced out a little mist of embarrassment.

Finally it turned into a low roar of anger.

“It’s not you that’s sick, it’s me! I’m brain-damaged to come back with you from the agricultural planet!”

“No.” Yu Hanzhou reached out his hand and pinched his cheek that seemed to be slightly hot. His voice was calm as if he was elaborating, “Your reason tells you that I am a selfish and violent person, and you are constantly convincing yourself to stay away from me. But your heart, time and time again, you have been giving yourself the opportunity to try to seek a reasonable explanation from my mouth. You’re the one who came with me.”

‘No, that’s not true!’

‘Nonsense!’

Ming Huan’s tail was nestled in the quilt, held down by Yu Hanzhou with one hand.

The tip of his tail was unconsciously coiled up.

Although he was now furious as hell, his tail seemed to not belong to him, and it actually coiled upward along Yu Hanzhou’s wrist, circling the person firmly.

“Ming Huan, let’s get married.”

‘M, ma, mar, married?’

His brain buzzed.

‘He was actually not talking to him about an engagement, but about marriage?’

‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’

“Your differentiation news can not be concealed for a long time, no matter whether it is in the Federation or in the Dragon world, if we get married as soon as possible, we can reveal this news. It will be more conducive to–“

“Yu Hanzhou, do you think that we are in a marriageable relationship?”

“Not that I think, but we are in a relationship where we must get married.” The admiral knew that this matter might be a bit sudden for Ming Huan, so he rubbed his head and said, “Early or late, we will get married. Although you are still young, and your spirit is at SSS-level, this matter can not be delayed. Be obedient, as long as we mention our marriage, I will give you whatever you want.”

“….”

“Do you have a problem with your brain? Just because we can kiss and cuddle, can we get married? Or is it just because the pheromone match is high that you think there is a problem? I know there are a lot of things I owe you from before, but those can’t be paid back with marriage.”

“You do owe me. You are my dragon companion, we are the closest relationship in this world, how can these be considered owed to me?”

The little dragon rolled his eyes.

This day…. It was now the time to talk.

“Do you still have doubts about our relationship?” Yu Hanzhou’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, “If you think it’s not me-“

Yu Hanzhou’s fingers slid slightly from the ear, down his neck, and landed on the location of Ming Huan’s glands. Seemingly still hesitating, the degree of the fingertips slightly increased, and his breathing roughened a bit before he rasped, “We can try a temporary mark.”

“?!” Ming Huan’s voice sharpened, blocking him with his words, “Didn’t you tell me just a month ago that you never want me to be marked by anyone?!”

“I won’t hurt you.” Yu Hanzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn’t faint-heartedly try to convince him, “One light mark, there will be no problem.”

‘One? What a joke.’

“I just had two shots of the special effects inhibitor last night, I can control myself. With the genlock boost, you’re bound to have a small mental riot, but I’ll squash it for you during the marking process- We can try it. If you and I are not in that kind of relationship, the level of trust and dependence is not enough. Then, the marking is bound to be unsuccessful, and there is even the danger of both parties’ spiritual level being damaged.”

The big dragon’s somewhat fiery fingertips touched the corner of the blocking patch on Ming Huan’s gland, caressing it across a thin distance, as if the thin layer of the blocking patch did not exist at all.

The slightest touch seemed to blaze with pain and itchiness.

“If you think your dragon companion is not me, then let’s try it, OK? Let’s see if the marking will be smooth.”

Ming Huan subconsciously stopped breathing and seemed to briefly lose the ability to think under his gentle embrace and patient coaxing.

The pillow in his arms was drawn away, leaving a few pieces of cotton wool flying and falling on Ming Huan’s faintly trembling eyelashes.

Yu Hanzhou lowered his head and gently blew the lint off his reddened nose and wet eyelashes. He then popped the top button of his pajamas, pulling the collar a bit to reveal his fragile and slender neck as well as his collarbone.

It was clear that each other still smelled of pheromone, and he was not tempted by the pheromone. But Ming Huan, subconsciously, just pushed him away. In his heart, it seems like he’s still convincing himself that it’s just a mild marking, nothing significant in the grand scheme of things, and it doesn’t really matter. Being bitten a bit helps alleviate his mental backlash, allowing him to have a good night’s sleep tonight, considering it as repaying the debt from the day of differentiation. Ming Huan grits his teeth, closes his eyes, tightens his small fists, and there’s still a bit of panic subconsciously.

But, his mind shouldn’t collapse severely, right?

If Yu Hanzhou can’t resist and directly deeply marks him, or even bites him to the end, giving him a lifelong mark, wouldn’t that be a disaster? His waist is trembling lightly, the whole dragon is tense, but it is weakly and thin wrapped in the broad embrace of Yu Hanzhou.

Yu Hanzhou said there wouldn’t be any danger, then it must—There shouldn’t be any problem. He said it’s a mild marking. It must be just a mild marking. Feeling a warm breath spraying on his neck, the little dragon’s heart suddenly beats extremely violently, almost jumping out of his throat!

Even his breathing is completely chaotic. The two dragons sat tightly embraced in the dimly lit bedroom. A final flash of light revealed that open mouth that was about to bite down.

Yu Hanzhou stopped. A low, little smile spread between his ears. Then, the tight embrace that could not be pushed let go. He felt the little dragon trembling, unconsciously overflowing with a little teardrop from the corner of the eyes which he used his fingertips gently to wipe away, “Do not be afraid, I will not mark you.”

He smiled again.

“You see. I told you, you believe in me a lot.”

The hand stained with a little tear rubbed the corner of his forehead again, where the horns should have grown. His tone was also not at all as strong as it had been earlier.

“Your horns haven’t even come out.”

The little dragon opened his eyes in dismay, and met the deep, warm, and smiling eyes.

Disappointment from MH that YH stopped?
Honestly, he’s so mean-mouthed, stubborn, petulant and … funny. Yet he can also be so thoughtful.
YH has immense patience and love that goes beyond pheromones.
Thank you both for the chapter.
