Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 – “I Told You That You Will Like Him.”

When coming out of the interrogation room, Jian Ning stopped at the door for a while.

For some reason, he seemed to sense a familiar pheromone lingering outside the door – it was the same smell as him.

Jian Ning looked around suspiciously.

Is it an illusion?

In the deserted aisle, there were only occasional staff members passing by. When passing by, they couldn’t help but look at him, then avoid his gaze, lower their heads and leave quickly.

Jian Ning could probably guess the reason.

He pursed his lips and tried to pull his collar higher, but to no avail.

The pheromones belonging to the Alpha continued to seep out from every pore of his body, unable to cover it up at all, constantly driving away all those of his kind who approached him.

As an alien species, Jian Ning originally thought that the overly ambiguous bite mark would heal quickly like other wounds, but after a night, the result was not as he expected.

The place that was marked last night still had clear traces of the canine teeth.

Thinking back to what happened last night, a trace of fear and terror flashed in Jian Ning’s eyes.

That was the first time he realized the instinctive attraction and physical gap between Alpha and Omega.

His pheromones matched Shen Yan’s so well that he had little room to resist when he was marked.

If Shen Yan wanted to do something more extreme to him at that time, he would probably not be able to stop him.

Fortunately, Shen Yan had strong self-control and let him go after the temporary marking was completed – although it took longer than he expected and the pheromones injected into his body were more than he expected.

At that time, Jian Ning’s legs were so weak that he barely walked back to the bedroom and immediately locked the door.

Even though he knew that the fragile door would be useless in front of Shen Yan, it at least gave him a little psychological comfort.

After a night of chaotic dreams, Shen Yan’s pheromones kept circulating in his body, and he kept repeating the process of being marked by Shen Yan in his dreams.

When Jian Ning woke up in shock, his entire body was soaked in sweat, as if he had just struggled to escape from the brink of life and death, and his body couldn’t stop shaking.

The Alpha’s pheromones completely merged into his body. It was a feeling that was truly indescribable, as if he and Shen Yan had completely become one.

Walking into the elevator, Jian Ning pressed the button for the first floor.

The temporary marking meant that he would not be affected by the estrus period for a short period of time, but as time passed, the pheromones injected into his body gradually dissipated, and the next estrus period would soon come.

Jian Ning sighed.

He had to find a way to leave before the next estrus period came.

Before meeting Shen Yan, he had never had any estrus period. As long as he left the base, perhaps he could say goodbye to this damn estrus period.

Walking out of the command center building, Jian Ning saw an SUV parked at the door. As soon as he came out, the SUV made two harsh “beep” sounds as if calling him over.

He walked over, the tightly closed window rolled down, and the person inside showed two rows of white teeth.

Feng Qi: “Get in the car, Shen Yan asked me to take you home.”

When he marked the Omega for the first time, Shen Yan ignored the impact of being marked. It was not until he found that Jian Ning, who came by public transportation, was covered with his pheromones that he realized how inconvenient it was for Jian Ning to go to the base by himself.

Jian Ning did not refuse, walked into the car and closed the door neatly.

“Thank you, Captain Feng.”

He seemed to ask casually: “Is Shen Yan here too?”

Feng Qi started the car, glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and said, “Yes, he’s up there. The commander-in-chief wants to see him.”

An Omega who has just been marked will subconsciously look for the presence of his partner, so Feng Qi didn’t think there was anything wrong with Jian Ning’s question.

In the back row, Jian Ning’s body tensed up.

Sure enough, it wasn’t his illusion just now.

When he was in the interrogation room, Shen Yan stood outside the one-way glass and watched him for an unknown amount of time.

Jian Ning’s breathing suddenly became disordered.

Command Center, 17th Floor.

The commander-in-chief’s eyes left the paper-based monitoring data and carefully observed Shen Yan’s condition.

“You haven’t had sedatives for nearly a week, and your mental strength has been stable these past few days. Did the Omega help you calm your mental strength?”

Shen Yan: “No.”

In the past, injecting sedatives was a necessary procedure for Shen Yan every day after returning to the base, but since the beginning of this forced marriage, Shen Yan had been cut off from the supply of sedatives.

The specially made tranquilizers in the laboratory can help the transformed to stabilize their emotions in the short term and can help them control the “seeds” in their bodies to a certain extent, but the side effects are also obvious.

Shen Yan used tranquilizers too frequently. Continuing to use tranquilizers would only make Shen Yan’s emotions even more indifferent, and would no longer have much effect on stabilizing his mental strength.

If this continues, Shen Yan will sooner or later lose his self-awareness as a human being. Shen Qing is worried that by that time, eliminating alien species or protecting humans will no longer have any meaning in the eyes of Shen Yan.

“No?” Shen Qing frowned when he heard the answer.

Before the Omega appeared, even with daily injections of sedatives, Shen Yan’s mental power was still in an unstable state of constant fluctuation. But after the Omega lived with him, the previous fluctuations obviously stabilized.

Shen Qing recalled the news he had just received not long ago and said, “But you have already marked him.”

The pheromones belonging to Shen Yan on the Omega were so strong that as soon as he entered the building, someone below reported the matter to him.

Shen Yan’s answer was still brief: “It’s just a temporary mark.”

Even if it is a short-term temporary mark, the impact on Alpha itself after giving the mark will not be much weaker than that of Omega.

A rare, faint smile appeared on the serious face opposite him.

Shen Qing said firmly: “I told you that you will like him.”

“…”

Just like last time, Shen Yan did not answer.

But this time, those cold amber eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Shen Yan said, “I don’t know.”

“I don’t hate him.”

After coming out of the Ocean Center yesterday, Shen Yan almost forgot about his cleanliness and let the young man, who was covered in blood and dust, lean on him and sleep all the way.

“But he has always been afraid of me.” At this point, Shen Yan’s tone seemed a little confused.

If it were someone else, they might not be very clear about the connection between these sentences.

But Shen Qing, who was sitting opposite him, understood the value of these words suddenly spoken by the taciturn and indifferent man.

The fact that Shen Yan could say such words in front of him showed that he cared about this matter very much.

Shen Qing: “You…”

Shen Yan raised his eyes and waited for him to continue.

Unfortunately, Shen Qing, who has spent most of his life in the military, has very little experience in this area.

As a father, Shen Qing couldn’t give any good advice.

The two looked at each other.

Shen Qing coughed dryly and said, “You haven’t dated yet, right? You are both still young. Although you are married, you don’t have any emotional foundation yet. It’s normal for him to be afraid of you. Why don’t you find some time to date him?”

It would be more problematic if an Omega was not afraid of Shen Yan.

“Dating?”

Shen Qing’s tone was a little uncertain: “For example, let him go to the army with you in the morning to participate in physical training, or go to the training room to practice shooting?”

Shen Yan: “…”

Shen Yan lowered his cold eyes slightly, and after a moment, nodded.

Taking advantage of the excuse of a date to monitor Jian Ning is also an idea.

“I’ll take care of this matter.” He began to ask about the real reason for this time: “Commander-in-chief, I want to know if the base has established other laboratories outside?”

“Other laboratories?” Shen Qing frowned.

He pondered for a moment and replied, “The scale of the research institute inside the base is already large enough, and there is no extra energy to build a laboratory outside the base. I have never heard Dr. Jiang say that he has any idea in this regard.”

Shen Qing recalled the report he submitted yesterday, frowning: “The laboratory you mentioned yesterday may be another base that is conducting illegal experiments in private. However, this location is too close to the Central Base. Apart from the Central Base, the base closest to the Ocean Center is the already fallen Base 107.”

Base 107?

Shen Yan’s expression was slightly tense, and he continued to ask: “When will Dr. Jiang return?”

“The first batch of transformers at the Fran base will be completed by the end of this month. Once the situation stabilizes, the doctor will return with his students.”

After leaving the office, Shen Yan went to the research institute.

The research institute is located in a corner of the base. The cold silver building is like a running machine. There are twelve floors in the institute, four underground and eight above ground. It is a key area of the base that has consumed a lot of resources to build.

The alien body soaked in the container has countless pairs of hideous huge compound eyes. The green inorganic compound eyes are dull and look as if they have been dead for a long time, but the activity value next to them shows that this alien is just in some kind of artificially created dormant state.

The sound of footsteps came from far away. Shen Yan withdrew his gaze from the experimental subject and looked sideways at the researcher who was walking hurriedly.

“Are the test results out?”
