Chapter 29 1/2

Cen Lang’s thoughts leaped exuberantly at this moment.

Jiang Li said he didn’t want to date. Could it be because of cleanliness—not wanting physical contact with an Alpha?

Due to the existence of the sensitive period, no Alpha could tolerate platonic relationships. Having a lover but not being able to cuddle and kiss was unbearable for Alphas, especially if there was an Omega with compatible pheromones trying to interfere. The outcome was almost certain to involve physical infidelity, with many Alphas succumbing to reproductive desires.

Jiang Li needed a partner who could have a platonic relationship.

Cen Lang could only engage in platonic love.

With such an outstanding and pure-hearted top-tier Alpha, unique in the world, wouldn’t Jiang Li be moved?

Cen Lang’s communicator vibrated, receiving a reply from Earth at 3:30 in the morning.

【He can accept it; go confess.】

—and then get harshly rejected.

Cen Lang lightly lifted the corner of his mouth, jumped down from the cold, hard rocky mountain, and used the clothes of the two fainted space pirates as ropes, tying them together and tossing them conspicuously.

According to the reply from the space base, the pursuit on Zeeluo Star’s land should be following the traces of these two pirates. It wouldn’t take long for them to discover this place.

Pirates chased personally by an admiral carried the weight of crimes committed during hijacking warships.

If Jiang Li softened and opened the door, he would immediately face unforeseen consequences.

Cen Lang kicked a sharp rock, and the sound of the rock shattering bones slightly calmed his anger. He gazed in the direction of Zeeluo Star’s warship landing and walked towards the white flames.

Who knew that after installing the signal transmitter, he would see two shooting stars streak across the sky in the blink of an eye, unable to determine if they were friends or foes? At that moment, he profoundly experienced a chilling sensation.

While believing that Jiang Li was capable of self-defense, he rushed back at the speed recorded in the broken federal two-hour cross-country record.

Seeing the two people acting in front of the white-flame warship, anger erupted in the pheromone storm. If not for leaving evidence for the admiral on land, he would have killed them directly.

Cen Lang walked to the front of the warship and signaled Jiang Li to open the door.

Jiang Li looked through the window for a while, got permission, and immediately let Cen Lang in.

He looked at Cen Lang. This trip was not easy. The other’s hair and combat suit were soaked and dried by the night wind on the cold, hard rocks.

In his handsome appearance, there was a hint of disarray and a faint smell of disinfectant, not unpleasant.

Cen Lang, over 1.9 meters tall, always looked down on people, but tonight, he wanted to squat down and see the light in Jiang Li’s lowered eyelashes.

Thinking of his plan, warmth spread in his heart. Jiang Li was the window that heaven left for him to explore this world, filling his heart with tenderness.

He contemplated, “Jiang Li, I want to ask you something.”

Jiang Li suddenly raised his eyes, feeling ashamed, and frowned slightly. Did Cen Lang want to know about the smell of disinfectant in his pheromones? He didn’t know the answer. He could only wait to ask the old devil himself.

He pursed his lips, keeping his gaze as calm as possible, not letting Cen Lang see that he knew what the other wanted to ask.

Seeing a hint of “you’re bound to be disappointed” in Jiang Li’s eyes, Cen Lang was momentarily stunned. But looking again, Jiang Li calmly said, “Ask away.”

Cen Lang swallowed up the question.

Not suitable.

It was not appropriate to ask now.

It was four in the morning, and Jiang Li, who had not slept all night, might not be thinking clearly.

They were on a desolate star, and Jiang Li’s life depended on him. Confessing at this moment might threaten the overall situation. Sweating all over, Jiang Li looked the most disheveled, which Jiang Li hated the most.

Given the circumstances, it wasn’t the right time. They could talk after returning to Earth.

Cen Lang smiled. “It’s nothing; you’re great for exposing those two pirates.”

Jiang Li understood; Cen Lang still regarded the scent of his pheromones as important as the color of his underwear and didn’t easily reveal it. “Oh, that’s nothing. Medical students are good at spotting feigned illnesses.”

Cen Lang: “Go tidy up. I received a notification; the admiral who chased the pirates just now is from Zeeluo Star. You go back to the base with him.”

Earlier, he would have preferred for Jiang Li to wait for him to repair the warship together. He didn’t install a signal device to have the base pick him up because he was worried about Jiang Li leaving him alone on the desolate star. The space forces also had a bunch of perpetually single Alphas.

He wouldn’t trust anyone else, except perhaps when Meng Ru came over, but Meng Ru couldn’t pilot a warship, and Jiang Li wouldn’t be pleased with a large entourage.

Cen Lang pointed to the two interstellar pirates outside and asked, “Can the admiral be called within an hour if he can’t catch them?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of the warship approached.
