During the holidays, Marcus Tong never got up before nine o'clock. Even if he woke up, he would stay in bed for another half an hour to an hour, so Sebastian Zhuo almost never met him during the day.

Soon after the company went public, there was a mountain of official duties that needed to be done personally. Out of habit and the situation, Sebastian Zhuo continued to get off work from nine to five from the first day of his marriage, which made the young newlywed omega feel the "cold treatment".

However, Marcus Tong not only did not hate this cold treatment, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really awkward for two strangers to be facing each other, not to mention that adults like Sebastian Zhuo always seemed calm and frugal with words, and his level was obviously much higher than his. Marcus Tong felt that every time he took the initiative to talk, it was awkward.

But for some reason, if Sebastian Zhuo didn't want to pay attention to him, he could just go back to the bedroom or study. If he went too far, he could even use the excuse of working overtime to sleep somewhere else, and Marcus Tong wouldn't care at all.

But he refused to do so. If he had to get off work late, he would definitely call home to explain everything to Marcus Tong, and even tell him which company and what level of leader he met. The rest of the time, he would go home on time to eat, and after dinner, he would watch financial news with Marcus Tong in the living room as usual.

With Marcus Tong, in the living room, watching the news.

None of the three elements can be missing.

One day, after finishing his meal, Marcus Tong wiped his mouth and prepared to slip away, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped: "Are you doing anything else tonight?"

Marcus Tong quickly stopped, turned around and stood still: "It's okay, Brother Xiang Ming."

"Yeah." Sebastian Zhuo finished eating and stood up, saying, "Then go turn on the TV. I'll go upstairs to check my emails."

Sebastian Zhuo never lost his temper and always spoke in a consultative manner, but Marcus Tong just felt afraid of him.

At this point, he had no choice but to agree in a very servile manner, turned on the TV obediently, sat down obediently, and watched the 30 minutes of financial news with Sebastian Zhuo obediently.

Obediently accept the touch that Connor Tong named "desensitization therapy".

Long before the marriage, Marcus Tong knew what he needed Sebastian Zhuo's help with, and the doctor in charge of him told him very clearly on behalf of Tong Liqin, so he was not shy at first.

But the reality is that young hearts always experience friction.

On the first day after marriage, after being hugged without any inappropriate behavior, Marcus Tong knew that this was not an easy task.

No matter how much he thought about it before, it was nothing more than being hugged a few times by the older brother next door who was said to be young, promising and upright. However, this "big brother" was just an outline in his imagination, without face or taste, so he naturally felt it was insignificant.

But Sebastian Zhuo had a handsome face, and his pheromones were faint after he tried his best to restrain himself. He was trustworthy and calm, and said to him in a low and charming voice:

"Marcus Tong, come here."

"Is this okay?"

"Will it be uncomfortable?"

That expression was completely indifferent, rigid and square. However, extreme indifference was S3xy, so Marcus Tong really felt that torture was waiting for him every night.

It's not that he really has any thoughts about Sebastian Zhuo. On the contrary, after a few days of living together peacefully, although Marcus Tong felt very uncomfortable, he had to admit that Sebastian Zhuo was indeed an elder worthy of respect - there was no news about his wedding, no extra questions about his stress disorder, and no warning from the doctor that the alpha might use pheromones to suppress him.

He respected Sebastian Zhuo from the bottom of his heart.

But it was because of this respect that every time he had to have any contact with Sebastian Zhuo within a normal distance, his heart would beat wildly and his face would become flushed. Marcus Tong felt like he was being tortured.

The expression on that face was obviously similar to that of Marcus Tong when he was doing homework, but Marcus Tong just didn't live up to expectations.

The clock pointed to five thirty-five. Marcus Tong listened to the sound of the engine being shut down outside the door and could only sigh: invisible temptation is the most deadly.

"Children's feast...Children's feast?"

Sebastian Zhuo called out twice before Marcus Tong came back to his senses.

After several days of getting used to that kind of hug that only supported the back of the head without touching other parts of the body, Marcus Tong no longer felt nervous when Sebastian Zhuo approached.

Just now, Sebastian Zhuo asked him if he could go a step further, Marcus Tong nodded, and then Sebastian Zhuo actually hugged him up.

Originally, the two were sitting on the sofa with a distance of two fists between them. After Marcus Tong subconsciously said yes, Sebastian Zhuo stood up, knelt on one knee on the sofa, and hugged Marcus Tong in his arms.

The soft touch of the home clothes, the light masculine scent mixed with cedar-scented pheromones, the fingertips that seemed to be touching the back of the neck... Marcus Tong was stunned.

Marcus Tong stood up suddenly, and sat down again after a moment, speaking incoherently but forcing himself to be rational, "I, I'm fine, I'm fine."

"breathe."

"ah?"

The robot, which had already understood the relationship between the two masters, had moved over at some point and reminded them, "He's reminding you to breathe."

Marcus Tong realized that he had been holding his breath for too long and was gasping for breath.

But the robot is still adding fuel to the fire: "My heart is beating fast, my face is flushed, and my adrenaline is rushing... Do you want me to switch to medical mode?"

Marcus Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Xuangui, shut up."

The robot that was helping its master solve problems was suddenly called by an unpleasant name. It found a piece of Erquan Yingyue from the music library and walked away while playing it.

"...You said this was normal!" Marcus Tong defended himself.

Seeing the young omega almost getting angry, Sebastian Zhuo couldn't help but smile slightly: "Well, this is normal."

"I, I'm like this because I'm too young and inexperienced... When I grow up and become your age, I won't be like this anymore."

But this time Sebastian Zhuo disagreed and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Marcus Tong felt that he was being looked down upon. The other party actually thought that he would still be as useless as he is now in ten years. He pinched Sebastian Zhuo's sleeves tightly, and said angrily, "Of course!"

"Hmm..." Sebastian Zhuo said, "Okay. Then it seems you need to have more relationships. Like me, you will be like this until you are thirty."

Marcus Tong paused and asked awkwardly: "How many times have you been in love?"

He regretted saying it as it sounded so rude.

But Sebastian Zhuo didn't seem to care: "No."

Marcus Tong thought that maybe the expression on her face was too surprised, so Sebastian Zhuo added: "I have never been in love."

"Why?" Children of Marcus Tong's age were originally very curious about the love affairs of adults. Sebastian Zhuo was willing to pay attention to him on this issue, so Marcus Tong naturally took advantage of the situation and asked, "You are so handsome and a good person. I heard from Connor Tong that you were a top student when you were in school. Didn't you have any omegas chasing you?"

"Of course, alpha counts too." Marcus Tong said, resting his chin on his hand.

Before he dropped out of school, his deskmate was a round-faced omega girl named Zou Jingyu. Zou Jingyu herself was an omega, but she was obsessed with AA relationships. Marcus Tong was caught by her and learned a lot about her. Now, facing a face like Sebastian Zhuo, he couldn't help but fantasize about it.

There are too many plots where the domineering CEO A is pursued by the cute little A, and finally falls deeply in love with her and dotes on her.

Sebastian Zhuo was so overwhelmed by the compliments of being handsome, kind, and a top student that he looked like an old monk in meditation, but his earlobes were quietly red. He didn't pay any attention to what Marcus Tong was talking about as an alpha pursuer.

But when Marcus Tong saw that he was silent, she thought she had guessed right, so she moved to Sebastian Zhuo's side and asked gossipingly: "Really? What kind of alpha is he? Why didn't you agree to him? Or do you still like omegas?"

Sebastian Zhuo grasped the part of the question that he understood and answered: "Yes, I think I like omegas."

"Okay." Marcus Tong said, "Then why don't you find an omega to date?"

Sebastian Zhuo said: "I am a bachelor."

Marcus Tong, who is in the same household registration book with Sebastian Zhuo:

---

Marcus Tong asked: "Does it mean that you like to be alone?"

Sebastian Zhuo paused and said, "You can say that."

Marcus Tong whispered: "But if you are alone, you may feel lonely sometimes. Aren't you afraid?"

Sebastian Zhuo said seriously: "Everyone is lonely, and loneliness cannot be avoided by finding a partner."

Marcus Tong sat with his legs crossed under Sebastian Zhuo's arm on the sofa, swaying back and forth. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't fully understand what he said. So he tried to ask: "What's the purpose of finding a partner?"

Sebastian Zhuo said: "I don't understand either."

Marcus Tong said: "Ah..."

Sebastian Zhuo said: "Maybe it's to make my loneliness understood and tolerated." He smiled gently at Marcus Tong, "After all, people are very happy when they feel that they are understood and tolerated."

The sunset glowed into a gorgeous ink painting in the sky, the outline of the crescent moon was already very clear, and the person who returned home last also drank hot soup.

The sensor lights in the room gradually lit up, and soothing piano music flowed into the air from every small sound hole in the corner of the wall. Marcus Tong's attention was attracted. He listened for a while with his ears perked up, and the confused expression on his face disappeared: "The bird in the dream!"

"Yes." Sebastian Zhuo said.

Neither of them continued the discussion about loneliness and partners. Before they went back to their rooms, Marcus Tong remembered something and said to Sebastian Zhuo seriously, "I will know the answer when I find a partner. I will tell you then."

Sebastian Zhuo looked at his fresh face. His hair had grown out and he was very pretty, but still childish. He couldn't help but smile: "Good."
