Chapter 69: Obsession

Shi Qi's cheeks were flushed, and intermittent sounds escaped from his throat.

His mind was clouded, his sense of time turned to chaos. He had initially been the one in the superior position, but at some point, Shang Sui had pulled him down, and their roles were completely reversed.

The person who had earlier called him master tore off his sweet, harmless disguise, revealing his true self.

Even when pressed hard into the pillow, Shi Qi subconsciously adopted a posture of cooperation.

He could not deny that whether dominating Shang Sui or being dominated by him, both brought him immense satisfaction.

But the physical disparity between an Alpha and an Omega was too great, and Shang Sui belonged to that perversely powerful class of Alphas; once the initial rush of excitement faded, Shi Qi gradually began to falter.

A Lifelong Mark is more troublesome than ordinary circumstances; it took them a long time to find their way.

Afraid of hurting him, Shang Sui took care of everything, both gentle and forceful, the sweet torture infinitely prolonged.

In a daze, he heard movement by his ear; it took Shi Qi a slow beat to realize it was Shang Sui speaking to him.

You are trembling, how cute. Shang Sui's fingertips, carrying an intoxicating fragrance, caressed his cheek. Do you know what you look like right now?

Your face is so red, you have glistening sweat, your expression and voice are incredibly cute, I want to eat you up.

Under his praise, Shi Qi couldn't help but curl his body, but Shang Sui forced him open, not stingy with his compliments: Your whole body is so beautiful.

After a moment of struggle, Shi Qi chose to yield to Shang Sui's strength, looking at him as if lured.

The Alpha's vivid and alluring face was covered in a thin layer of sweat, the chain hanging from his neck dark and heavy, falling all the way to Shi Qi's chest, bringing a cold touch as it slid.

Shi Qi could not look away, saying in his heart.

Actually, you are also very beautiful, do you know that?

He was lured by Shang Sui to forget everything, until the final step.

As if thoroughly branded, his body and mind no longer belonged to himself, invisible shackles wrapped around his limbs, dragging him down into the abyss.

The Omega's instinct screamed in his mind to escape, and Shi Qi suddenly began to struggle uncontrollably.

This faint resistance was quickly neutralized; Shang Sui pressed his hands to the left and right on the bed, fingers tightly interlaced.

Shang Sui's breathing was equally chaotic, but his tone was as gentle as possible: Xiao Qi, look at me.

...Ugh!!

Shi Qi's reddened eyelids and dense lashes were soaked with tears, his white-gold hair scattered messily on the pillow, looking incomparably pitiful.

After today, we will be together forever, isn't that great?

Yes, Shi Qi gradually stopped resisting, responding like a sob, I, I want to be with you forever.

So obedient, so good, bear with it a little longer—

Shang Sui gently wiped the tears from his face, trying to infect him with his own emotions: Soon you will be my only baby, I am so happy.

Good... Shi Qi couldn't control his tears, the fear brought by instinct gradually dissipated, he was thoroughly possessed by Shang Sui, and his soul felt as if an intimate connection had been established, I am so happy too.

Shi Qi cried and said: I love you.

In his eyes, liking was a crystal-light, transparent emotion, but love was more suspended, stickier, heavier, and indivisible.

I love you too, Shang Sui immediately responded, I love you the most.

Shi Qi's breathing was fragmented, his delicate lips slightly parted, as if asking for a kiss.

He no longer had the strength to make any sound, so Shang Sui took the initiative to contain his petal-like lips.

The sweet, rich Pheromone completely filled his senses, feeling himself filled by the lingering, affectionate kiss, a wildly romantic thought arose in Shi Qi's mind:

Compared to honey, other delicious desserts seem to pale in comparison.

Am I broken?

Shi Qi thought blankly.

But being broken seems even happier; as long as Shang Sui is with me, it does not matter if I sink further.

...

...

Shang Sui finally kissed his forehead, his voice blurred as he said something.

Shi Qi's face was covered in tears, his eyes unable to focus, and after a long while he let out a tiny whimper: Is, is it over?

His body and mind reached their limit, trembling all over as he wore a dazed expression, yet he still remembered that Shang Sui was the same as him, unable to be separated from him for life after the Lifelong Mark.

A pleasure so intense it made him shiver climbed from the bottom of his heart, and Shi Qi barely reached out to grab his shoulder to confirm: Mark... did I thoroughly mark you?

Well done, my dear. Shang Sui's response seeped into Shi Qi's ears like honey, I am yours.

Shi Qi was satisfied; the moment he relaxed, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma.

-

A long dream slowly unfolded, like bizarre, colorful paintings.

No matter how the world in the dream changed, the tip of his nose was always lingering with a sweet scent, the aura of another person blending into the depths of his body, making him feel incomparably at peace.

Shi Qi slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was not the dark pink ceiling of the small villa, but a creamy white.

Someone was holding his hand, squeezing it after he woke up, like touching a cat's paw: Awake?

He turned his head following the movement and saw Shang Sui lying beside him.

Shi Qi was not very clear-headed, thinking he was still in the dream, and stared at him with a blank expression.

Shang Sui curled his eyes and pointed at his small nose: Why do you look so dazed?

Where is this...?

Only after speaking did Shi Qi realize his voice was hoarse; it must have been from calling out too much earlier.

It is the house your family rented. Is anything uncomfortable?

I don't seem to have any strength.

His hands and feet were soft, and medication had been applied to his private parts, leaving a cool, sticky sensation.

You slept for a day, it is normal to have no strength. Shang Sui asked, Do you want to drink water?

Shi Qi nodded.

Shang Sui got up, changed his clothes simply, and went downstairs. Shi Qi heard him talking to someone downstairs, and soon a series of footsteps came from the stairs, and Jiang Yoning pushed the door open with joy:

Xiao Qi! You are finally awake!!

She approached the bed, looking left and right, confirming that except for the scent, Shi Qi was not much different from usual.

The sweet, cloying honey blended into the pure floral scent; perhaps because of the Lifelong Mark, not only had his Pheromone become sweeter, but Shi Qi's eyes were also wet, like a Lily of the Valley in full bloom.

Jiang Yoning muttered: Your pheromones are quite a match.

Shang Sui followed behind, circled to the other side, and first carefully fed him a milk candy, then slowly fed Shi Qi water.

Conversations could be heard from downstairs from time to time, and after drinking the water, Shi Qi asked: Are there many people at home?

It is the dads, and Shang Sui's parents. They are discussing the Wedding.

Wedding...? So fast?

Even knowing it was a matter of time, the fact that the elders from both sides were discussing the Wedding during their first meeting still made Shi Qi feel slightly surprised.

Shang Sui saw Jiang Yoning seemed to want to say something: I will go down for a while.

Shi Qi originally wanted to call him back, but then thought, Shang Sui must want to leave space for the two siblings.

Hey, after Shang Sui left, Jiang Yoning crossed her arms, You two are really good at hiding things.

Do you know how shocked we were when we received a call from Shang Sui's parents, and they started by saying he was in a Special Sensitivity Period? And what about the Bracelet being thrown away, that sounded really scary!

Jiang Yoning recalled with lingering fear: We were all ready to rush to Yishan, but Shang Sui's parents said ordinary people couldn't get close to him, so they sent bodyguards overnight—it sounded like a movie! Dad Xiao An's face turned white.

Luckily, Shen Qianyu called a while later to say you were fine.

After Jiang Yoning finished chattering, she pretended to be dissatisfied and poked Shi Qi's forehead: I said you were secretly talking to Li Zhao before, so it was about this! I asked Li Zhao, and she also knew about Shang Sui's situation; you all kept it from me.

Shi Qi didn't protest when she was poking him, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

Jiang Yoning chuckled: Alright, I am joking, such things really need to be kept secret.

What did the dads say?

Dad Jiang is just like that, he is almost like a Buddha; as long as you are happy, he thinks it is a good thing. As for the other one... Jiang Yoning witnessed the whole process of Shi An going from shock to worry to relief, You two have already completed the Lifelong Mark, what else can they say.

Shi Qi agreed completely: That is true.

Jiang Yoning lowered her voice slightly: I think Dad Xiao An is incredibly satisfied with Shang Sui.

Shi Qi said in surprise: Really?

He knew Shi An had a good impression of Shang Sui, and Shang Sui had behaved very appropriately in their previous meetings, but...

You know the secret of the Special Sensitivity Period, right? You can only mark one Omega in a lifetime. Jiang Yoning described vividly, After confirming you were both fine, Mrs. Yu mentioned this, and Dad Xiao An covered his mouth after hearing it, saying 'Oh my god! Then our Xiao Qi will definitely take responsibility!'... but do you know why he covered his mouth?

Shi Qi guessed: He wasn't secretly laughing, was he?

Jiang Yoning: Correct!

The siblings laughed at the same time.

Shi Qi was a bit speechless, but felt it was very much in line with Shi An's personality. A moment later, he honestly confessed: But I am also very happy.

I know, you have been bossy since you were a child, of course you want your Alpha to belong entirely to you.

Jiang Yoning talked to him for a while longer, and Shang Sui came up and knocked on the door: Hungry? Food is prepared downstairs; you just woke up, so it is relatively light.

Jiang Yoning left first. Shi Qi was about to get up, and Shang Sui approached him: Baby, I will help you wipe off the medicine.

Oh. Shi Qi agreed, asking with some hesitation, Do I need to...?

Even though everything that should have been done was done, Shi Qi couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

The gland that had been completely marked sent out a tingling heat, and Shang Sui's attraction to him had doubled; Shi Qi couldn't help but keep staring at him.

It is a little swollen, Shang Sui lowered his eyes, Luckily it is not injured.

He wiped it slowly with a wet wipe, and just as he was finishing, Shi Qi unintentionally pressed his thighs together, clamping his hand.

Realizing what he had done, Shi Qi quickly let him go: I didn't mean to.

Influenced by the Lifelong Mark, he subconsciously wanted to keep Shang Sui, no matter what.

Shi Qi looked up and met a pair of glistening eyes.

Shang Sui had been looking down while wiping off the medicine, and only then did Shi Qi notice an abnormal blush on his cheeks.

As if bewitched, Shang Sui's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and in the end, he actually sniffed his fingers.

Shi Qi froze on the bed, his earlobes quickly heating up.

There is a little bit of medicine left, Shang Sui's voice was thick with a sticky quality when he spoke again, Let's try another way to clean it, shall we?

After the Lifelong Mark, he was controlled by Shi Qi's pheromones; it was not an exaggeration to call it an addiction.

He had been fascinated by Shi Qi's scent before, but that was more of a psychological love. After the marking was completed, the scent of Lily of the Valley flooded his senses, becoming the only scent in the world that could influence him from body to soul.

If Shi Qi beckoned slightly, he would be dizzy with infatuation.

While Shi Qi was fast asleep, Shang Sui had woken up several times. He wanted to kiss him, caress him, and preferably possess him again, but he could only suppress the unbearable desire.

Seeing that Shi Qi did not object, Shang Sui got on the bed.

The pillow was placed under his waist, and his long, straight legs could not help but tremble.

Afraid of being heard downstairs, Shi Qi whimpered and covered his mouth, feeling as if he were melting from the pleasure.

...

Shang Sui went to rinse his mouth, and Shi Qi lay limp on the bed.

After calming down, he slowly got out of bed. When Shi Qi was dressed, Shang Sui happened to come out of the bathroom and naturally took his hand.

As soon as they went downstairs, they ran into the two elders.

Yu Wan said happily: Xiao Qi is down? How was your rest?

Shi Qi agreed and looked curiously at the person beside Yu Wan. The other person's brows and eyes were particularly similar to Shang Sui's, but his temperament was colder and sharper, and he looked much younger than in the news photos.

Noticing Shi Qi's gaze, Yu Wan introduced: This is my husband, Xiao Sui's father, Shang Yao.

After she finished, she pushed Shang Yao: Xiao Qi is very beautiful, right?

Shang Yao nodded and said with a smile: And very brave; we never thought anyone would dare to throw away the Bracelet.

Thinking of the chaotic situation at the time, Shi Qi felt a bit apologetic: Sorry, Uncle and Aunt, for the trouble.

No, no! We are too happy to be troubled! Seeing them holding hands, Yu Wan was more satisfied the more she looked, and asked with a smile, Where do you want to hold the Wedding? I heard from Xiao Sui that you met at Qi Jiang; Qi Jiang is beautiful, but it is not quiet enough. I bought a small island a few years ago, the scenery there is quite nice, or do you like places with more flowers, like a forest?

Shi Qi was stunned by the options thrown at him, and hesitated: Either is fine?

Shang Yao said at the right time: Let's talk about it later, Xiao Qi hasn't eaten since waking up.

Yu Wan said 'ah', and quickly said: Look at me, I am too happy, let's go discuss it with your dad first!

Hmm, Shang Sui held Shi Qi's hand, We will come over in a while, I will pick the things related to the Wedding.

Seeing someone take the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility, Shi Qi felt relieved: You pick, it is time for you to show off your aesthetics.

Yu Wan and Shang Yao both laughed. After they left, Shang Sui was about to accompany Shi Qi to the dining room when his phone suddenly lit up.

Seeing the name Li Zhao on the caller ID, Shang Sui looked hesitant.

Is Sister Xiao Li looking for you? It must be something important. Shi Qi said proactively, You answer the phone first, and come find me in a while.

Shang Sui nodded and walked to the side.

Li Zhao's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: I heard about you from Yoning, congratulations.

Thank you, I will invite you to the Wedding when the time comes.

It is a deal, I will definitely be there. After finishing the lighthearted topic, Li Zhao turned to explain the progress of her work: I have communicated with the Haicheng police; it took some time, but they finally decided to cooperate fully. The one who made the decision is the deputy chief of Haicheng, surnamed Fang, who was in the Major Crimes Unit when that case happened years ago.

Are you free now? I just finished talking to Fang Ju, and I am outside her office; Fang Ju said she would like to have a phone call with you if there is an opportunity.

Shang Sui quickly realized who that was and agreed immediately.

The female detective's voice was stained with the traces of time, yet still as crisp as in his memory: Is this Shang Sui? Long time no see.

Hello, Shang Sui said from his heart, Thank you for your help.

Fang Ju talked with him for a long time, confirming that this report was his own intention, and indicating that she would support Li Zhao's work to the maximum extent.

She finally asked: Do you remember? I told you back then that perhaps one day you could let go, and what might change you could be a moment, an event, or a person.

To be able to have this case reopened, you must have let go, right? She was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, What was that catalyst?

Shang Sui looked up and out.

Shi Qi seemed to want to sunbathe, so he pushed open the folding door between the dining room and the Courtyard, the sunset presenting a dreamy, translucent rose color, gently enveloping him.

Shi Qi sat by the tea table, lowering his head to eat slowly, the clusters of Dragon Sand Gem blooming beside him.

Years ago, the Courtyard where Shi Qi's family rented also had these delicate, dripping flowers blooming.

At that time, he was standing in the Courtyard, waiting for Shi Qi to jump down from the window to attend the midsummer night festival together.

Shang Sui said softly: It is my lover.
