Chapter 42 2/2

“Cen Lang finished reading, as usual, pushed the thesis to the bottom, stretched out his hand, and said, ‘Get up and move.’

Jiang Li didn’t need his support; he walked around the room and eagerly sat back to continue writing the textbook.

Cen Lang was completely a sensationalist; from a pile of academic terms, he only picked those that interested him from the cover and read them sandwiched in a paper with a seemingly profound title.

‘Argument on the Safety of Marked Elimination Drugs’

Papers generally skim through background and current research, and this one was no exception.

【Marked elimination drugs are extracted and processed from some herbal plants. In mythology, there’s a story of tasting a hundred herbs. Scholars believe that the efficacy of these herbal plants was discovered by humans very early, but the effects were not immediate, taking a year or more to show results, and with some side effects.】

【After purification and processing, marked elimination drugs can completely eliminate the mark in Omega’s body within two or three days, and they have achieved pregnancy-friendly safety. This is a great invention in the history of human medicine, profoundly promoting the liberation of Omega.

Cen Lang raised an eyebrow; it was the first time he heard that marked elimination drugs had developed so rapidly in two or three days. The drug was good, but he and Jiang Li didn’t need it.

Wait… Cen Lang’s finger forcefully crumpled the paper, resembling his tumultuous inner thoughts. Could he… have marked Jiang Li?

Cen Lang’s breath paused. Alphas could sense the Omega they marked. Two days after the underground city incident, he encountered Jiang Li again during a team mission. At that time, he didn’t sense it, and given Jiang Li’s cleanliness, he never thought in that direction.

But this paper clearly told him—the mark could be eliminated in as short as two days! Jiang Li was so careful; he must have taken the drug right after returning, timing it perfectly.

Experience told Cen Lang that every moment of Jiang Li was crucial evidence, and Jiang Li would exploit it to the extreme.

Jiang Li noticed a surge in pheromones around him, turned in confusion, and saw Cen Lang holding ‘Research on PDE5 Receptor Inhibitors.’ He suddenly understood that the essence of aphrodisiacs was PDE5 receptor inhibitors. Even the strongest Alpha would get excited seeing this.

Cen Lang snapped the journal shut, his voice hoarse. “Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

Jiang Li: “Oh.” He didn’t notice that Cen Lang was holding two journals.

Cen Lang took a bottle of cold water from the fridge and poured half of it in, attempting to calm his mind for analysis.

He first met Jiang Li in the restaurant; Jiang Li was in a sensitive period. Although he applied inhibitors, the scent detector of a top Alpha was very sensitive; he accidentally smelled it, thinking it was the effect of green tea pheromones.

But later, due to the side effects of the soothing agent, the storm syndrome, which was already on the verge of losing control, burst directly. It indicated that the brief pheromones he smelled from Jiang Li could only alleviate, not cure.

He was completely healed; he not only smelled it but also likely marked Jiang Li.

Calm down; it’s impossible, Cen Lang warned himself. Little Jiang doctor had a serious obsession with cleanliness… As long as the disinfection was thorough, could Jiang Li accept it?

Jiang Li had already admitted to ‘taking action.’

Jiang Li still concealed that he was an Omega.

Because omegas were easily associated with marks, Jiang Li kept them hidden.

He tried to think from Jiang Li’s perspective: Jiang Li didn’t like him, so he refused to admit that they had a relationship. Trash, how could an Alpha not know how they lost their innocence? Cen Lang picked up the journal on mark elimination and read it carefully again.

Indeed, even the strongest Alpha needed to arm themselves with medical knowledge; otherwise, they would be deceived by Jiang Li and not even know what happened.

Cen Lang’s expression returned to normal; he hid the journal under his bed. He wasn’t confident enough to make Jiang Li admit it all at once, so he remained still, quietly studying to become a medical genius.

He took the leather-covered one back, looked at Jiang Li’s cold and beautiful profile, ground his teeth, and put the paper back into the pile of journals on Jiang Li’s desk.

Jiang Li was slightly puzzled: “Do you need to bring a book to the bathroom?”

Cen Lang: “I just happened to see an exciting part.”

Jiang Li hesitated to speak: “Go after finishing next time.” He had a bit of cleanliness; he wouldn’t bring books into the bathroom.

Cen Lang: “Okay.”

Jiang Li remembered Cen Lang’s seemingly inexhaustible energy in the underground city and said with complex emotions, “Is aphrodisiac really that attractive?”

He felt that Cen Lang didn’t need it at all.

Could it be that he was completely immune to Cen Lang’s storm syndrome, and Cen Lang couldn’t completely resist his pheromones? Would he be affected after a long contact?

In theory, there was no sensitive period during pregnancy, and Cen Lang couldn’t smell his pheromones. But there were always exceptions.

Jiang Li was somewhat uncertain; Cen Lang wouldn’t deliberately suppress his pheromones recently, but the concentration compared to the peak concentration in the underground city was like a drop in the bucket. Would Cen Lang notice that he couldn’t return to the peak?

Cen Lang:?

He looked at the journal used as a cover, looked at the unfamiliar terms in the title, felt a pang of anxiety, didn’t want to admit he was a medical layman in front of the medical genius, calmly took out his phone to search for meanings, and silently put down the phone.

Jiang Li felt particularly guilty: “Have you felt a bit… pure and indifferent recently?”

Cen Lang: “… “did he want to say he had erectile dysfunction?

How dare you speak out?
