Ming Huan had never considered this.
‘Yu Hanzhou was also resisting the instinctive desire of an alpha?’
A little dragon revealed a fair and full forehead as a pair of light brown eyes playfully stared at him.
Ming Huan himself did not even notice that the eyes of Yu Hanzhou had been mixed with a little subtle measuring.
Yu Hanzhou suddenly stood up.
“Then, good night.”
The door closed with a ‘click’, and the dragon actually left like that!
Today they just got their license, and he didn’t sleep as much as he did on a normal day!
Ming Huan covered his head with the blanket and sulked.
‘What’s going on! What’s wrong with this dragon?’
He had just wanted to ask Yu Hanzhou where he had gone the day after his separation.
Opening his terminal, he sent a message to Shu Yun.
[Elder Shu, is it expensive to get counseling from you?]
[…. Huh?]
[Extremely, angry right now. Need 20 minutes of counseling.]
[Well, go ahead, Admiral Yu paid for a thousand hours of counseling, and you’re getting twenty minutes as a gift.]
“….”
‘Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve swiped Yu Hanzhou’s card?’
[You’ve said yes to Admiral Yu’s proposal?]
[Yes.]
‘I’m just mad because I said yes!’
[That’s good. Ming Huan, Admiral Yu Hanzhou was consulting me about your mental state a few days ago and was worried that there would be some kind of communication problem between you two again.]
‘Communication problem.’
‘How did Shu Yun conclude that it must be a communication problem and not a personality clash?’
‘Ah, this was not the point.’
Ming Huan felt like his mind was in a mess, and a lot of things were about to explode. He even cooked fish soup for Yu Hanzhou today, and what happened?!
Yu Hanzhou went to the Military Department for the whole afternoon, and he didn’t seem to be interested in staying with him for a long time when he came back in the evening.
It was such an important day.
Why didn’t he stay with him?
Ming Huan was not sure if the omega dragons were just separated like this, anyway, he was now scratching his heart and liver.
For dragons, human marriage licenses were not important at all!
Only he felt that this relationship change was turned upside down, simply life had turned into a general discomfort?
Yu Hanzhou did not seem to have this feeling at all.
After figuring out Ming Huan’s distress, Shu Yun was silent for a moment.
[No.]
[This feeling of certainty of identity, the impact is only more for alpha.]
[The degree dependence after the identity turn is double, and these are normal reactions you mentioned. Usually the higher the match the more pronounced it is. I think this is probably why Admiral Yu has been scheduling a lot of days lately – he’s trying to tide over the adjustment period from this identity shift with his busy business schedule.]
Shu Yun sent some relevant medical reports to Ming Huan.
Ming Huan took a closer look at it, and it turned out that the newlywed period for dragons was the most prone to mark damage due to the stimulation brought by the identity change which would easily make the newlywed alpha and omega easily unable to hold on. The mark process would be intense and cause some mental damage.
The newlywed omega produces a very strong sense of dependence.
The alpha, on the other hand, had a very strong desire to possess.
The likelihood of mild marker damage increased with the addition of this dual effect.
Shu Yun rubbed his chin and concluded: [Although this is a fact known to all alpha adult dragons, many alphas still choose to lightly mark the omega during the newlywed period. Because this adaptation period is indeterminate, it may be two days, or a month or two. Long-term degrees of tolerance may trigger worse consequences for the alpha].
A certain string in Ming Huan’s head seemed to have suddenly snapped.
He seemed to understand the reason why Yu Hanzhou just had to carry him back to his room before he left in a hurry.
He was afraid of not being able to resist marking him.
[What is a mild marking injury like? Does it hurt?]
Ming Huan asked in a serious way, but the tip of his ears started to turn red again.
[Ming Huan, you are still his. You will have to wait for marriage before you mark. Because your mental condition is indeed a bit unstable. But for Admiral Yu Hanzhou it’s….]
[What’s wrong with Yu Hanzhou?!]
[In fact, the last time you split up, we also suggested that he could do a mild mark on you, because the negative effects of pushing five inhibitors and having a continuous half-hour mental confrontation with you were too much for him, but he still refused and spent days in the hospital to recuperate….]
‘What?’
‘Yu Hanzhou actually fell into a coma during the last session?’
This was something that Yu Hanzhou never told him.
[What is mental confrontation? Why are you guys not talking about this?]
[The young dragon omega’s points are very prone to mental riots, unconscious situations produce extreme damage. You are also a small probability point, your mind is very unstable. Admiral Yu Hanzhou forcefully suppressed your mental riot, so you could be divided smoothly. What, he still hasn’t told you clearly what happened in the staging period?]
Ming Huan’s eyes were suddenly shocked.
‘This just felt wrong!’
‘Just now, he had also been wanting to ask!’
It is obvious that it was a small probability to split, but why was his split spirit loss rate far lower than other omega?
So this is what happened.
Yu Hanzhou always liked to make decisions like this, and his unilateral decisions and arrangements were really irritating!
‘Tell him what’s wrong!’
‘It’s hard to see how we’re going to get along like this for the next two thousand and four hundred years.’
‘Then the relationship in this case is not even friends, let alone any marriage!
Ming Huan hugged the pillow as he was completely unable to sleep, and the original shallow annoyance turned into a thick dryness.
Yu Hanzhou, this personality is definitely a problem! His character deserved to wait 400 years to find a husband –
‘Oh no, already found, ah, ah, ah.’
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Ming Huan sat up. He huffed and puffed in order to lift the door of his room, and he ran to the right before he directly unlocked the permission to open the door of Yu Hanzhou’s room.
The sound of clattering came from inside.
‘He actually…. There was the mood of a leisurely shower bath?’
the room was not half-hot, and was even on the cooling side. The room was naturally cooler than his by ten degrees, and Ming Huan felt as if his foot stepped from the warm breeze of the restless spring into the cold and bitter winter.
He was too late to dry himself, and a hand stained with cold water droplets pushed open the bathroom door.
Ming Huan met Yu Hanzhou’s cold eyes.
“Ming Huan, you…. Is it that the fish soup you had today upset your stomach?” Yu Hanzhou seemed to think of the last time Ming Huan broke into his room at nightime.
‘Not feeling well, to hell with you!’
‘The fish soup I made is very good!’
Ming Huan stomped his foot fiercely, “Yu Hanzhou, you must give a clear account of what happened that day, why you were in the hospital?! If you know that our match percentage is high, why did you see me that night? Why did you not say anything? Your brain is messed up!”
“You were in staging at that time, the more you know….”
“Okay, that time I was in staging. What about now, what period is it now? Oh, the newlywed period, right, and you don’t talk to me but instead throw me aside. This period, that period, it’s fucking hard to live for dragons, too many restrictions, but what makes it even harder is that the restrictions are not at all about dragons having genetic defects, it’s you!”
Yu Hanzhou frowned slightly, “Just hope that you can be healthy and smooth-“
“How do you know? Tell me, am I healthy and smooth!”
Ming Huan viciously went to push Yu Hanzhou, but found that he was actually cold all over. No wonder the house had cold air as he actually took a cold shower.
‘No, this temperature was not just cold water, it was simply ice water.’
Ming Huan’s eyes were somehow a little red.
Yu Hanzhou’s voice was slightly dull, “Ming Huan, you calm down a little.”
The little dragon looked furious, but seemed to be more than just angry. The tip of his nose was red from crying, and his eyelashes were wet.
Yu Hanzhou’s eyes darkened.
Tick.
The water droplets on his fingertips hit the ground, and he lifted up his face to gently wipe the corners of Ming Huan’s eyes that were a little moist from anger, “Are you worried?”
Ming Huan was still immersed in emotions that did not come out, and he was cold to this sentence. He took a series of steps to retreat, “I simply do not like the way you do things!”
The corners of Yu Hanzhou’s mouth pursed up slightly, “Mn.”
His hand was cold as it touched the end of his eye, like a snowflake falling on his eyelashes.
His finger bones were long and even. His hands were very good-looking.
Ming Huan liked to see him driving with gloves on. His cold and handsome face had a sense of the bearings of an adult alpha.
This was a simple little action, and it seemed to make Ming Huan’s mood not as restless.
The tips of the little dragon’s ears burned up again without him realizing it.
The hand slid outward along the end of the eye again before it touched the tip of his ear along the way.
Ming Huan pupils suddenly shrank.
Yu Hanzhou slightly inclined his head.
“Your ears, they’re red again.”
Originally, the redness was only the tip of the ear, but with Yu Hanzhou’s prodding words, his entire cheeks were now colored with a beautiful red as if they were about to burn up.
Why was there still such vague emotional sensations between dragons, and it seemed that the closer they were, the more obvious it became.
It seemed that Yu Hanzhou’s emotional perception of him was not so keen before.
Ming Huan also found out that every time his heart beat violently, the tips of his ears were hot.
He wasn’t aware of Yu Hanzhou’s situation. “If you blush, then you blush! It’s hilarious! Even if I touch you like this, you should still blush!”
Ming Huan took another step back, even more irritated after being pierced. But why did he have such a fierce little dragon? In the middle of the night, he came to his room to throw a tantrum, blaming him for not protecting himself enough. It was one thing to be fierce, but why did this temper, as it flared, make his eyes moisten? His beautiful pupils, like they had been lifted from a pool of water, were shimmering.
“Lucky for you, if it were someone else, they would have spent your money, lived in your house, and demanded you to lift them up like a god. Ah, would you obediently mark them like a young omega for doing so? How naive!”
Though, he was now not just spending his money and living in his house, but being mad at him.
Ming Huan was tongue tied at the justification.
“Gee, I don’t know what your view of marriage is, but I definitely can’t accept you like this! I don’t need you to protect this, nor do I need you to give me more things, we can just get along normally, equally, and then, what problems that arise, we can solve together.”
Yu Hanzhou’s eyes were down, and he seemed to be considering something as he finally asked, “Then you think how we should solve it?”
Ming Huan took a deep breath.
it was a bit hard to say.
The two dragons confronted each other in the darkness for a little, and the little omega dragon said, “You bite a bit, control the degree, and lightly mark.”
Yu Hanzhou slightly narrowed his eyes.
In many other households, omegas often demanded extensive pampering, almost expecting their matched partners to pluck stars and moons from the sky for them. They willingly marked alphas once or twice. Because the marking process was a tremendous physical strain for omegas, accompanied by varying degrees of pain. Most omegas were not tolerant of pain, so they tended to avoid marking. However, in his case, right after the separation, this one even took the initiative to suggest marking.
“A mild mark during the honeymoon period may be more dangerous than usual.”
“Both of us should maintain some distance. Wait until after the honeymoon period, and then consider marking slowly. That’s the best solution…”
“The best solution?” Ming Huan scoffed, wiping his face, “This world is just awful, rotten. Being a dragon is simply speechless! There’s no such thing as the best solution!”
“Yu Hanzhou. Your mental state is already delicate, and the situation with the Empire over the mining planet is delicate too. If the Empire launches another attack or even a war, are you going to lie in the hospital like last time, letting others go to the battlefield for you?!”
It was just an example, but Yu Hanzhou’s face turned grim.
“There is no best solution!”
Ming Huan summed it up loudly, with a bit of nasal tone, fiercely angry but oddly soft in his tone. “Believe in yourself, and I believe in you. Just hurry up and bite, and be done with it!”
“Do you even know what marking means?” Yu Hanzhou’s tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Omegas were generally timid. He had hoped to mark him after the newlywed period, so that it was better for both people. Otherwise, the first marking memory would be agonizing After all, the little dragon may be seriously resistant to this kind of light marking.
“I know, not just a bite!” Ming Huan reached out and squeezed on the blocking sticker. Yu Hanzhou noticed this fast and held down his wrist.
“You may be afraid….”
“Afraid of your master.”
Ming Huan frowned and lifted the barrier sticker a little, “Fucker, I tell you, risks and benefits go hand in hand! A quick knife can cut through the mess! Also, if it were you, you wouldn’t have stepped out of that one fishing star in the first place and gotten involved in these troublesome, deadly things! You are a pain in the ass!”
Since Ming Huan blurted out these words, Yu Hanzhou lost concentration and did not hold him back.
The barrier sticker was pulled off directly.
The inhibiting effect of the barrier patch still remained, but the scent of black opium mixed with white tea instantly covered Ming Huan followed by the smell of the bathing agent.
Although it was not estrus, this wisp instantly caused Yu Hanzhou’s eyes to turn into vertical pupils.
He almost immediately raised his hand, held down his forehead, not letting omega see his steep hideous eyes.
He took good steps back in a row, reaching out to hold the wall.
The increasingly strong smell of pheromone made the cold room feel unbearably hot.
Ming Huan didn’t notice his sudden change. He directly undid the top button of his sleepwear, revealing his neck. He casually turned on the light with a flick, “No, let me make things clear. This time is a special case. I healed your mental backlash. We’re even now. Decide whether you want to move out during each estrus, so you won’t have to take the special inhibitor. As for your vulnerable period…”
Boom—
The words were cut off abruptly. The little dragon’s pupils suddenly dilated. The tail of the dragon circled around his waist to directly lift him over the bed. Yu Hanzhou’s face looked very wrong, and Ming Huan wanted to say something but the man’s eager and fierce kiss seized his entire breath.
‘Eh, eh!’
The kiss was very different from the previous day as they were tossing and turning. His lips were nibbled to a crimson red.
A little tingling sensation overwhelmed him.
He hastily reminded him, “Yu, Yu Hanzhou– Lightly mark, remember, lightly!”
The lights overhead went out at once, and the room was plunged into darkness.
‘Really trust him.’
In other words, this little dragon simply trusted him, and he dared to directly tear off the blocking sticker.
The back of Yu Hanzhou’s hand had veins bulging out, and he impatiently tightened his tail around Ming Huan, as if such intimate contact could slightly bring him back to his senses.
The anxious anger in Ming Huan’s heart was doused, and suddenly, he felt a little scared, “You… talk. Don’t you….”
“Mn.” Yu Hanzhou’s answer squeezed out from deep in his throat, and his teeth clacked under his ragged breathing, “I know.”
Every word was raw.
Even the arms holding him were stiff to the extreme.
It was as if he was doing everything he could to control the movement at the moment, but Ming Huan was relieved by this simple answer.
“You must not resist. Including the body, including the spirit…. As much as possible.”
Ming Huan swallowed his saliva, and he didn’t have the determination of righteousness right now.
Yu Hanzhou still expressed clearly, and his tail that wrapped around Ming Huan’s waist tightened. The tip of the tail began to pick open the buttons of Ming Huan’s pajamas, “This is not the intention, but to tell you….The alpha genetic defect is there. So once you try to resist`, you may not be able to resist. Is that clear?”
His voice was as light as a feather on the last question.
‘Can’t help it?’
‘Can’t resist what?’
Yu Hanzhou raised his hand from the side of the drawer to take out the needle inhibitor that he laid on the bed as he must be prepared for the worst.
“If I’m trying to hurt you, give me this.”
Ming Huan also smelled Yu Hanzhou’s pheromone in the air, and the cold snowy mountain breath came to the nose, making the whole room cold to the extreme.
Yu Hanzhou’s deep breath swept over his ears, sending a tingle through his scalp.
The ring on his ring finger seemed to sense something and became tumbling hot.
The little dragon suddenly blinked, and a tear somehow slipped from the end of his reddened eye.
He was well taken care of by Yu Hanzhou, whether it was during the alpha period or the omega period. He did not endure any physical trials and tribulations. The shock at this moment was unprecedented for him, and his fine white ankles were rubbed with a light red mark against the bed sheet.
Just now, he was gutsy as hell. Now he was scared out of his tail. A small slender tail wrapped around Yu Hanzhou’s tail.
He subconsciously rubbed him two times in an obedient but resistant manner.
it was actually neither.
“Don’t be naughty.” Yu Hanzhou’s voice was hoarse, “Put your tail away.”
The small tail numbly drew away and slowly coiled into a circle beside them.
The tip of the nose touched the glands, and the hot breath swept him. The little dragon immediately tilted up the neck. Since the body shape was thin from recently dividing, the tilt revealed a long slender neck and the deep concave collarbone with extremely good-looking and fragile lines.
The little dragon, with some premonition, was bitten on the gland when the body trembled violently.
The pheromone was injected a little, and his tail uncoiled before it began to sway left and right. A suffocating sense of wariness attacked his heart, making him almost unable to breathe.
“No…” He tried to control his restlessness with the little bit of air he had left, but his breathing didn’t seem as calm as before. It was now quick, with a hint of tears.
Sensing a bit of resistance from the little dragon, what started as a light bite now had an added fierceness in the alpha’s gaze. It was as if a predator, having caught a weak prey, became more agitated when it sensed the prey’s struggle, trying to suppress it.
The intensity of the biting suddenly increased, and a mistiness appeared in the omega’s eyes. He remembered Yu Hanzhou saying not to resist, so he gritted his teeth, holding back the curses that were about to spill out. Fortunately, it wasn’t too severe, and only a small amount of pheromone was released. It was kept at a level he could bear.
The pheromone was still only injected a little and was maintained at the concentration level he could bear. He was lightly marked. This temporary marker lasted for an unknown period of time, probably a minute or even five minutes.
Finally the alpha dragon beside him loosened his mouth, and also soothingly licked the reddened glands lightly. He lingered for a bit, “There.”
It was only one word.
Ming Huan then felt a heavy sleepiness come over him, as if the short time just now had consumed his entire body. It was like being infiltrated by a brand new pheromone made him feel more at ease than ever.
‘–And it wasn’t that terrible.’
The sleepy little dragon moved after the temporary marker and buried his body into the soft bedding.
His head was under Yu Hanzhou’s chin as he curled into a small ball that nestled in his arms, and he unconsciously hugged his arm.
He closed his eyes and went straight to sleep.
Yu Hanzhou hugged the little dragon and looked up at the open window that revealed the endless night sky outside. He was full of energy that immediately dissipated in just five minutes of the pain from the rebound, so he was unprecedentedly relaxed.
The most relaxed he’d been in four hundred years.
Nothing had made him happier than this moment.
Thinking back now, he still wanted to shake him up and give him a little lesson.
He ran to his room and directly tore off the barrier sticker. This behavior was dangerous!
Inside, he was angry, but the hands holding him were incredibly gentle, even adjusting the angle of his neck to make him lay down more comfortably.
The new barrier patch was then reapplied to his gland, which was a little red and swollen from the bite.
Sure enough, there was a mark.
Ming Huan’s skin was delicate and his glands were even more fragile. A little bit of heavy biting resulted in redness and swelling, which made him look very pitiful.
After all, it was their first temporary mark. Due to the consumption of the body, he fell into a deep sleep. The little dragon should soon wake up. Sure enough, about an hour later, Ming Huan’s still-dry eyelashes flapped gently.
He subconsciously covered his gland that was still vaguely painful, but not that uncomfortable.
Then he opened his eyes and the two dragons looked directly at each other.
“!!!”
“….”


These two with this psychological warfare is very cute, I love seeing them together! Thanks for the chapter!
Things have really speeded up between them. I think they will have a marriage that is anything but dull!
I love how, for all his complaining and cursing about YH, MH trusts him implicitly and wants to share in the hard times as well as the good.
Thank you both for the chapter.
