A rumbling sound came from the sky, a passenger airplane was approaching the Greenfly airport.

The two informed the last three households, and the day’s work was finally over. Bai Chunian was going back to his apartment, and they parted ways at the intersection.

Bi Lanxing didn’t have an apartment in Greenfly City and he didn’t want to go back to the headquarters. It was late at night, and occasionally only a taxi with people passed by on the road. Bi Lanxing really wanted to go back to his parents’ house.

But then he remembered that his father threw him to the special training base on Greenfly Island and said that he could not return until he trained enough to protect himself. He was going to be an adult on his birthday this year. Although he had already obtained a position in the Search Department, he was still stuck on the same level in combat. He didn’t want to go back, it’d be pointless.

The peddler who secretly sold loose cigarettes by the side of the park hadn’t come home yet. Bi Lanxing wandered around for a while, and when the peddler arrived, he asked him for a box, then ran away like a thief. He squatted down on the pier, imitating Bai Chunian’s pose, took out a bite and lit it in his mouth.

The moment it ignited, the smoke reached his eyes, causing burning pain. Bi Lanxing closed his eyes and his eyelids slowly turned red.

This stuff was bitter, the taste stuck to his tongue and couldn’t be gotten rid of, not even making him feel like his brain was paralyzed. He couldn’t understand why Dad, Uncle Jin, and Chu-geliked it. If only adults could have it, why would Chu-gewho was still young have it?

Bi Lanxing pushed the cigarette case and lighter away and sat cross-legged on the pier, looking at the coastline, where the lights went out bit by bit.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, startling Bi Lanxing. It was a video invitation request, fromAhYan. He quickly picked it up. On the other side of the video, Lu Yan was also outside. He seemed to be going somewhere, the rabbit ears on his head were bouncing because he was walking too fast.

“You changed your name again, ‘Hunky Handsome Rabbit Lifts 300 Catties of Carrots’… What kind of ID is this?”

“Oh, that’s not important. I just went back to headquarters, why weren’t you there?”

“Were you there to see me?”

“Go away, who’s looking for you? I also have a task, and I have to come back to ask Bai Chunian about some things, he wasn’t there anyway.”

“…Oh.”

“What are you doing? I haven’t calmed down yet, I came back to beat you up. Why are you ignoring me?”

“Where are you? Hear me out.”

“No point in explaining, I’ve already spotted you!”

Bi Lanxing turned his head, and under the dim streetlights, the lop-eared rabbit omega in light green half-sleeve camouflage and overalls, stood there, looking at him from a distance.

Just as Bi Lanxing stood up, Lu Yan ran towards the pier, stepping on the creaking planks, and slammed into Bi Lanxing’s arms with a swoop.

“This is a profession that is easily misunderstood.” Bi Lanxing said while supporting his shoulders, “Fortunately, you weren’t here today.”

“Fortunately? If I wasn’t here, you would hide and be secretly sad.”

“I don’t want to go home right now.” Lu Yan stood with his hands down, his forehead pressed against his chest. “I’ll go to your house.”

“I don’t want to go back either.”

“Then let’s go drink…” Lu Yan blurted out, but Bi Lanxing covered his mouth. “Go to Chu-ge‘s office and sleep. You sleep on the sofa bed, and I sleep on the floor.”

“Huh? Don’t you want to go to the bar? My classmate’s family owns it. The ice hockey fruit tea is super delicious, you can also add crispy pops.”

“…”

“Where do you think I want to go?” Lu Yan tilted his head and asked.

Bi Lanxing suddenly bent down, covered Lu Yan’s lips with his palm, and then kissed the back of his hand lightly.

Lu Yan’s eyes widened, and the rabbit’s ears began to roll up, and finally wrapped his blushing face, it was so hot that it was almost smoking.

Early the next morning, Bai Chunian drove the car to the underground garage of the headquarters and got out of the driver’s and passenger’s seats with Rimbaud, respectively, but a standing rag doll appeared at the rear of the car without anyone noticing it.

“It wasn’t there when I backed up the car just now.” Bai Chunian looked around, if there was anyone nearby, he could definitely hear footsteps. This doll seemed to appear out of thin air.

The doll was 30 centimeters tall, wearing a red flannel skirt and carrying a messenger bag matching the skirt, with lifelike facial features, staring into his light blue eyes, giving him a feeling that she was staring right at him.

Rimbaud wanted to take a closer look but was pulled back by Bai Chunian. “What if it’s a bomb? Stay away from it.”

The doll seemed to be spiritual, turning the ball-shaped joints of its hands like a robot and taking out something from its messenger bag.

It was a clear ampoule filled with an orange liquid.

The two looked at each other, both recognized the potion.

“NU nutrient agent (nutrition).”

The doll put the ampoule flat on the ground, pushed it forward slightly, and the cylindrical ampoule rolled to Bai Chunian’s feet.

The task was completed, and the doll jumped away and left from the main entrance of the garage.

Bai Chunian picked up the ampoule, wiped the dust on his sleeve, and confirmed that the orange liquid inside was indeed the nutrient agent they used to inject in the cultivation base.

“Using a puppet as a messenger, no matter how you look at it, it must be manipulated by Puppet Master.”

Before he had time to study it carefully, a BMW 760 drove in slowly. Was this a special day because Uncle Jin usually wouldn’t drive the car into the garage if he just sent the president to work.

When Lu Shangjin opened the door for Yan Yi, he looked very happy. He just happened to see Bai Chunian, and Rimbaud who was wrapping his arms around Bai Chunian’s neck from behind. His cheerful expression quickly changed to a little bit of upset. He always felt as if his good son got a feral friend, who took him to smoke, drink, get tattoos, make him wear earrings and collars, and even dye the hair on his head white—all kinds of bad behavior.

“Be good.” Bai Chunian whispered to Rimbaud, “Remember to call him uncle.”

Rimbaud sneered softly. “Can he bear it if I say it?”

“Hey, don’t make the elders unhappy all the time.”

Rimbaud nodded in agreement and rolled up the bandage on his arm. “Okay, I’ll warn that kid not to make me unhappy.”

“…come back!”

No matter how much Lu Shangjin didn’t approve of Rimbaud, he wouldn’t show too much on his face. The four of them took the elevator upstairs in harmony. Lu Shangjin and Bai Chunian stood in front, and Yan Yi put his suit over his forearm and stood at the back. Rimbaud hung on Bai Chunian’s back, which was equivalent to being side by side with Yan Yi.

Rimbaud hugged his alpha intimately with both hands while secretly wrapping the fishtail around Yan Yi’s waist and, fiddling with the soft gray rabbit ears in his hair. Yan Yi didn’t care, he flicked his right ear slightly.

Sensing a strange atmosphere, Lu Shangjin glanced back at Rimbaud indifferently and frowned when he saw him entangled ambiguously onXiaoBai’s body in public.

But Rimbaud spoke first, “I hug my little alpha, you got something to say about it? Not only will I hug him here, but I will kiss him and make him cry later.”

His voice itself was not as warm and soft as a usual omega’s, it was more of magnetic and deep, with a majestic side that matched his identity.

Bai Chunian pinched the side of Rimbaud’s tail. “What are you talking about?!”

“Hmph. I heard that Lu Yan came back last night, but didn’t go home. His wings have alreadyhardened.” Lu Shangjin didn’t bother to argue with a fish and glanced at his watch. He didn’t even bother to make a phone call. I only know he landed becauseXiaoXia told me.”

“It’s okay, Lanxing has a spare key for my office, they can’t lose it.”

Bi Lanxing and Lu Yan had been playing together since they were born, and Lu Shangjin was at ease with Lanxing taking care of him.

Passing by Bai Chunian’s office, Lu Shangjin asked Bai Chunian to call them out.

Bai Chunian found that the door was not locked, but only half closed. With a light push, it opened a crack. The sofa cushion was removed and spread on the floor. Bi Lanxing was sleeping on the cushion, and Lu Yan had only one leg left on the sofa, while most of his body was leaning on Bi Lanxing’s body, sleeping like a dead rabbit.

Bai Chunian immediately withdrew his foot from the threshold, saying that there was no one inside, and coaxed Uncle Jin to go to the president’s office to wait for them first. He finally persuaded Uncle Jin to leave.

After Uncle Jin left, Bai Chunian wiped off his sweat and opened the door to enter.

The two cubs were still asleep, sleeping so deep not even a kick would wake them.

Rimbaud poked his head out from Bai Chunian’s shoulder. “Hey, honeymooners.”

“Tsk, which idiot taught you this word, don’t talk nonsense.”

There were a lot of packed fast food boxes and four Rio cans thrown on the ground. Bai Chunian bent down to pick them up and glanced at them. “These two kids only dare to drink alcohol with this percentage.”

“Get up.” Bai Chunian knelt down and pushed Lu Yan’s head. “Your drool is almost dripping on Lanxing’s face.”

Bi Lanxing woke up suddenly, while Lu Yan was still groggy. Rimbaud laid down on the sofa and focused on playing with Lu Yan’s rabbit ears.

Bai Chunian didn’t have time to pay attention to them as he sat in front of the computer, took a photo of the nutrient agent he got from the underground garage, and sent it to Dr. Han, then asked Bi Lanxing to send it to the clinical laboratory upstairs.

“Oh, I’ll go right away.” Bi Lanxing rubbed his eyes, got up, and went to send it over.

“The things handed over by Puppet Master, I sent someone to hand it over to the lab, you go and see what’s wrong with it. I don’t know what his intentions are.”

After a while, Han Xingqian replied, “Received. It is indeed the NU nutrient agent. This drug contains the best nutrients for feeding experimental subjects in the infancy and cultivation stages. Ordinary experimental subjects can only eat inorganic substances or human food if they want to survive. If you want to improve your strength, there are three ways, which are, devouring the same kind, devouring human beings, and injecting nutrient agents. Each subject needs to use an average of 3,000 nutrient agents to reach the most strengthened state.”

“Puppet Master probably wants to tell us that we should feed the experimental subjects with the nutrient agent.”

“The composition of the raw materials of this drug is very complicated. Due to the scarcity of some raw materials and the difficulty of transportation, the production is not high, and only the experimental subjects can use it. The patent of this drug is in the hands of the 109 Research Institute, and they are the only ones in the world who can make it.”

“Heh, I have a new plan, this time it will definitely bring down the Institute.”

Bai Chunian was contemplating his new plan when the table was suddenly patted heavily.

He looked up and saw that Lu Yan was standing aggressively in front of the table, the upturned hair was still standing on top of his head, slamming his hands on the table. “Lu Chunian, I have something to ask you.”

“What? You called me what?” Bai Chunian pushed the seat aside and stood up. “Don’t make trouble for nothing, I’m busy. I’m going to the president’s office, and you just happen to be bored, so come with me.”

Bai Chunian walked towards the door, Lu Yan flashed at the door, blocked the door with both hands, and said loudly, “Haven’t they told you, I am your older brother.”

Bai Chunian’s hand, which was pulling the door knob, froze and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Then he grabbed Lu Yan’s two rabbit ears and lifted him up, letting Lu Yan hang in the air kicking and struggling.

Bai Chunian freed his other hand, took out his mobile phone to make a voice call, “Old He, you made my student crazy, pay me 200, otherwise, I won’t let it go.”

Rimbaud sat on the sofa to watch the fun, stuffing the fast food box, empty cans, and trash cans back into his mouth while he was at it.
