84

Pei Shaoze might’ve studied a lot of common knowledge but he hadn’t grown up in this world after all. He didn’t even know an alpha’s body, let alone an omega’s one.

The process was a bit awkward as there were parts he didn’t know very well. Cheng Xia blushed and taught him the specific position and method. Their faces became redder and redder like they were newcomers seriously discussing a mysterious and great thing.

Fortunately, the final research was successful. Pei Shaoze found that although the settings of the ABO world were strange, the process of marking an omega was very comfortable…

Pei Shaoze’s learning ability was very strong and he didn’t need Cheng Xia to teach him again. He marked the deepest part of Cheng Xia’s body. The alpha and omega pheromones were completely integrated into one.

Cheng Xia was completely marked and trembled all over, holding onto Pei Shaoze with eyes full of tears. Pei Shaoze was distressed and comforted him, kissing his tears while softly saying, “Cheng Xia, I love you. I love you the most… don’t cry. I will mark you and protect you for the rest of this life…”

Cheng Xia wasn’t sad. It was just that the moment an omega was marked, his mind was extremely fragile and it was difficult to control his tears. These were physiological tears. He normally felt ashamed when crying but he didn’t care that much in front of Brother Pei.

Brother Pei gave him an alpha’s lifetime mark. He was so happy.

Cheng Xia hugged Pei Shaoze tightly while Pei Shaoze calmed his omega patiently and tenderly. He really cherished such a Cheng Xia. He held Cheng Xia in his arms and patted the other person’s back like he was a child.

Cheng Xia gradually fell asleep.

***

The time for the estrus lasted three whole days. Pei Shaoze’s phone was about to be blown up but he set up the ‘do not disturb’ function on his phone and didn’t answer a single call. All the people who called him received the automatic reply, [Sorry, I am busy right now and will call you back later.]

Zhang Fan received this message when he called the boss and felt that the boss must’ve encountered something very important if he couldn’t answer the phone. Therefore, Zhang Fan helped Pei Shaoze block many dinner invitations.

For these three days, Pei Shaoze had taken good care of Cheng Xia. Of course, he himself was particularly satisfied. He previously feared that Cheng Xia was too young and innocent so he had forcibly endured it. Now he found that—

Cheng Xia wasn’t simple at all. Cheng Xia seemed to know more than he did?

Since it was Cheng Xia’s request, Pei Shaoze certainly wouldn’t disappoint Cheng Xia. The two people spent three days stuck together like glue. By the time Cheng Xia completely recovered his sense of reason, the traces on his body were too much to be seen.

Then a message popped up in Pei Shaoze’s mind.

[Cheng Xia’s good impression of you +1.]

[Cheng Xia’s good impression of you has reached 100, the full value. Unlocked the hidden rewards: A. The task time is no longer limited.

B…]

Pei Shaoze didn’t look at the options and directly said, “I choose A.”

System 1022 was stunned. “Did you expect it?”

Pei Shaoze said, “There were rewards for 80 points and 95 points of good impression. The first reward was 5 years and the second was 10 years. So there is a high probability that the reward for 100 points of good impression is also time. The original novel Accidental Mark is based on the love plot after all. You chose me to enter the world of the book and rewrite the plotline. Once Cheng Xia’s good impression of me reaches 100 points then he will fall in love with me completely. Isn’t the best reward to spend the rest of my life with my lover?”

Previously, he had always mistaken good impression with trust. After being with Cheng Xia, he found that his good impression exceeded 80 when he rushed to visit the injured Cheng Xia in Rong City. At that time, Cheng Xia started liking him. Once it was over 95, Cheng Xia loved him very much.

How could two people who loved each other reach 100 points? It was naturally the integration of the body and mind, the unity of the body and soul as they completed the lifetime mark. Since the mark was for life, the reward for achieving 100 points should be time to accompany Cheng Xia for a lifetime.

There was nothing wrong with Pei Shaoze’s guess which was why he gambled on thoroughly marking Cheng Xia. Otherwise, he would feel it was far from enough if he could only spend 20 years with Cheng Xia in this world.

He wanted to spend his life with Cheng Xia. No, a lifetime wasn’t enough. He couldn’t imagine how he would spend the days after losing Cheng Xia.

Pei Shaoze calmly asked, “I can spend my life with Cheng Xia in this world. Then what about the world I live in?”

The system wondered, “The main character of this novel has the same name as you as well as the same height, weight, and appearance. Have you never doubted the origin of this book?”

Pei Shaoze immediately asked, “Could it be… there is a person called Cheng Xia in the real world?”

Pei Shaoze’s heart beat violently when he thought of this. The Pei Shaoze in the novel world and the real world had the exact same name and appearance but their personalities were different. So was there also a young man with the same name and appearance as Cheng Xia in reality? Could he find Cheng Xia in the real world?

System 1022 smiled. “I can’t disclose this. Although your strategy went off track at the beginning, Cheng Xia’s efforts corrected it and you finally achieved 100 points in your task. Congratulations on completing the task! After you clear this task, you can freely develop in this world. I won’t bother you any longer. I have to go look for the next player. Goodbye!”

Pei Shaoze, “……”

The voice of the system disappeared from his mind. Pei Shaoze was silent for a moment before looking down at the person in his arms.

Cheng Xia opened his eyes and met Pei Shaoze’s gaze. He seemed a bit shy as his cheeks turned slightly red and he retracted into Pei Shaoze’s arms like a cat. He hugged the alpha’s waist and whispered, “I am so active in giving myself to you. Are you going to laugh at me?”

Pei Shaoze’s heart softened and he leaned over to kiss this person’s forehead. “No, I like the way you take the initiative.”

Cheng Xia was embarrassed. His eyelashes trembled slightly as he cheekily asked, “Then are you satisfied with this birthday present?”

Pei Shaoze put his lips to the young man’s ear and whispered, “I’m very satisfied. For my birthday every year, you can continue to give gifts like this. The bow on the bath towel is cute. Continue it next time.”

Cheng Xia’s ears and face were red. “You’re thinking too beautifully… don’t take it as an example!”

Pei Shaoze changed the method. “Then how about I give myself to you next year?”

Cheng Xia, “……”

It was over. The upright and serious Brother Pei seemed to have been broken by him?

***

Pei Shaoze was the owner of Tianxuan and he had been missing for three days. The company had Assistant Zhang and Vice President Yang so it wasn’t chaotic. However, he couldn’t be absent from work for too long. Once Cheng Xia’s estrus was completely over, Pei Shaoze was ready to go back to work.

At noon, the two people cooked enough dishes to fill a table. They were eating in the dining room when Cheng Xia suddenly blushed. “It’s bad. We’ve done it many times in these past three days. Will I get pregnant?”

Pei Shaoze’s face stiffened. Omegas could get pregnant. He had accepted this setting but seeing Cheng Xia’s young and lovely face… this person was still young. How could he give birth so early? He wasn’t even 20 years old yet!

Pei Shaoze softly told him, “You’ve just started your career and it isn’t suitable for you to have a baby. What do you think?”

Cheng Xia nodded. “Yes, I think so as well.” He was only 19 years old and it was really too early to have a baby now. Cheng Xia blushed with a bit of embarrassment. “Wait a few years until I am older and we can discuss having children then. I will take a contraceptive pill now to avoid pregnancy. In the future, talk to me when… you want to.”

Pei Shaoze coughed lightly. “Yes, we will talk about it then.”

He didn’t like children because he thought they were too noisy. However, if the child looked like Cheng Xia then the smaller version must be cute. He didn’t mind listening to the child’s soft voice calling him ‘Father.’

Shu Yue had retired because he got pregnant. Pei Shaoze didn’t intend to let Cheng Xia give up on his dream because of a baby. Wait a few years. Once Cheng Xia was standing firm and the two people’s careers and lives were smooth then it wasn’t too late to have children.

***

In the afternoon, Pei Shaoze drove Cheng Xia back to the artist apartments in the orange sports car. Then he drove the black sports car that Cheng Xia gave him to the company. He was gone for three days and had a lot of papers to process.

Zhang Fan received the news in advance and was waiting for him at the company. After reading the documents sent by Zhang Fan, Pei Shaoze signed them one by one before asking casually, “Is there any news from the economic investigation department’s side?”

Zhang Fan said, “Group Leader Zhou called me yesterday. The clues you provided are very complete. They have checked all the shell companies Vice President Cui transferred assets to. They are currently checking the bank account flow. If nothing unexpected happens then the case will be closed before the end of the year.

Pei Shaoze nodded. “What did the lawyer say?”

“The amount involved is huge and there is also the crime of purchasing the public relations company to vilify Cheng Xia. He should be sentenced to more than 10 years.”

Pei Shaoze smiled slightly. “Very good. Next year, I will set up a branch to focus on the movie industry. For headquarters, Zhang Fan, you are familiar with the television stations and have contact with advertisers. I’ll leave it to you, how about it?”

Zhang Fan was flattered. “President Pei, I am a relatively junior…”

Pei Shaoze interrupted him. “You graduated from a top 10 key university with a master’s degree so have a bit of confidence in yourself. Besides, you have followed me during this period of time and I have an idea of your ability. I will teach you the parts you don’t understand. Tianxuan has many affairs that I can’t handle by myself.”

If he wanted to be stable, he had to cultivate his own confidants. Once Cui Jue was removed from Tianxuan, it was time to replace the management with some of his confidants.

***

Cui Jue was arrested by the economic investigation department and Pei Shaoze formally filed a lawsuit against Cui Jue.

The netizens ate another big melon. they didn’t expect President Pei to be so ruthless to send Cui Jue to prison! The thing that shocked netizens, even more, was that Cui Jue was the one who bought the water army to discredit Cheng Xia in the first place!

The situation in Tianxuan was changing and Pei Shaoze was very vigorous and resolute. As the artists in Group A were feeling anxious, he had already written Zhang Fan’s promotion report and handed it over to the personnel and board of directors for approval. He also promoted several middle-level managers from the copyrights and legal affairs departments.

Cui Jue’s sentencing didn’t affect Tianxuan. Due to Pei Shaoze investing in two hit dramas, clearing the group’s internal obstacles, and officially taking over the Tianxuan Group, Tianxuan’s stocks rose instead of falling. The market value had nearly doubled in just one year.

The employees received year-end bonuses and the shareholders were even happier. All of Tianxuan was convinced by Pei Shaoze.

Pei Shaoze originally planned to give Cheng Xia a car as the year-end bonus. As a result, the two of them had a tacit connection and gave each other the same gift. Pei Shaoze had to change to another gift. This time, he decided to give something more meaningful.

December 31st, New Year’s Eve.

Cheng Xia was the best newcomer of the year and many TV stations offered him an invitation. After careful screening, the agent Zhou Yan chose CNTV which had the highest ratings and best reputation for Cheng Xia.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, Pei Shaoze was also invited to CNTV’s gala and sat in the VIP seats in the front row.

Previously, the Idol Singer organized by CNTV invited Chen Yijun to be a permanent guest and made contact with Pei Shaoze. His relationship with the TV station gradually opened up. Later, if he filmed a TV drama then he could consider broadcasting it simultaneously on this TV station.

Cheng Xia was the actor in the Memory Fragments MV and sang it with the goddess Chen Yijun. Cheng Xia’s voice was warm and bright. He sang very well.

Cheng Xia wore a white suit and his youthfulness had faded a lot. He smiled at the camera and looked very handsome.

Cheng Xia stood on the big stage on New Year’s Eve, singing into a microphone with a smile on his face.

Pei Shaoze sat below the stage, watching the shining appearance of the little seedling he raised with a slight smile. The seedling he raised was eventually dug up and eaten by himself—this was the best arrangement.

***

After dinner, Pei Shaoze personally drove Cheng Xia back to the Binjiang Villa. The moment the two of them entered through the door, Pei Shaoze suddenly reached out, picked up Cheng Xia in the suit, and headed to the bedroom upstairs.

Cheng Xia was suddenly carried and he hurriedly grabbed the man’s shoulders, his voice trembling. “Brother Pei…”

Pei Shaoze carried him to the bed before leaning down and staring into Cheng Xia’s eyes. “We have known each other for over a year.”

Cheng Xia nodded. “Yes, it’s a year and 15 days.”

Pei Shaoze smiled and his voice was low and hoarse. “Tonight, spend the new year with me.”

Before Cheng Xia could react, the man’s hand flexibly took off his suit jacket.

This was immediately followed by slender fingers unbuttoning his white shirt one by one. The man’s eyes gradually darkened due to seeing Cheng Xia’s white skin. The dark eyes full of possessiveness made Cheng Xia’s heart rate accelerate. He clearly saw himself in Pei Shaoze’s eyes.

Cheng Xia’s ears turned red and his voice trembled. “Brother Pei…”

Pei Shaoze leaned toward Cheng Xia’s ear and whispered, “Cheng Xia, I love you.”

After seeing him shine at the New Year’s Eve party, Pei Shaoze especially wanted to hug him tightly and make sure he only belonged to Pei Shaoze.

Pei Shaoze was greedy for the omega’s orange-scented pheromones. The sweet taste was fascinating.

A gentle kiss soon fell. First it was the forehead, eyes, and cheeks. Then Pei Shaoze slowly kissed Cheng Xia’s lips. Cheng Xia gasped lightly, closing his eyes and hugging Pei Shaoze’s shoulders tightly.

Fireworks were set off outside the window and it was the new year.

***

Early the next morning, Cheng Xia woke up and found Pei Shaoze sitting on the bed in pants and a shirt. His whole body was so sore that he almost couldn’t straighten his waist. He couldn’t help whispering, “Last night, you didn’t go to bed until 3 o’clock yet you actually got up so early. Aren’t you tired?”

Pei Shaoze kissed Cheng Xia’s forehead and whispered, “I’m not tired. Don’t you know what my physical strength is like?”

Cheng Xia blushed, Then he saw Pei Shaoze suddenly go on one knee beside the bed, gently holding Cheng Xia’s hand.

The man’s eyes were extremely gentle and his voice was sincere. “Cheng Xia, on the first day of the new year, I have a wish. I want to ask you to help me realize it.”

He showed a shiny diamond ring to Cheng Xia and asked earnestly, “Will you marry me?”

Cheng Xia, “……”

Cheng Xia had just woken up and was still a bit confused. Now he was scared by Pei Shaoze’s words and completely woke up. He rubbed his eyes and realized he wasn’t dreaming. Cheng Xia blushed and murmured, “You, are you… proposing to me?”

He didn’t expect that Brother Pei would propose marriage in this situation. The always cold and proud alpha was kneeling on one knee beside the bed, his eyes gentle and affectionate. This scene was even better than Cheng Xia’s dream. It was beautiful beyond belief.

“Yes, I’m officially proposing to you.” Pei Shaoze stared at Cheng Xia and enunciated every word, “Cheng Xia, you’re the best person in the world and the only person I want to protect—will you marry me?”

The alpha’s eyes were gentle and firm.

Cheng Xia’s nose was sore as he nodded fiercely, “I will!”

He had been willing for a long time and even held several weddings in his dreams. Apart from Brother Pei, he wouldn’t be tempted by any alpha. It was because, in his heart, Brother Pei was the best alpha in the world, the only alpha worthy of all his life and love.

Pei Shaoze’s lips curved up into a smile as he held Cheng Xia’s hand and gently placed the carefully selected and customized ring on Cheng Xia’s ring finger.

‘Cheng Xia, you are the main character of this world and the reason I came to this world. How fortunate am I to be able to meet you? You let me experience how happy it is to love and be loved by someone.’

I just want to stay here and spend my life with you.

Pei Shaoze might’ve studied a lot of common knowledge but he hadn’t grown up in this world after all. He didn’t even know an alpha’s body, let alone an omega’s one.

The process was a bit awkward as there were parts he didn’t know very well. Cheng Xia blushed and taught him the specific position and method. Their faces became redder and redder like they were newcomers seriously discussing a mysterious and great thing.

Fortunately, the final research was successful. Pei Shaoze found that although the settings of the ABO world were strange, the process of marking an omega was very comfortable…

Pei Shaoze’s learning ability was very strong and he didn’t need Cheng Xia to teach him again. He marked the deepest part of Cheng Xia’s body. The alpha and omega pheromones were completely integrated into one.

Cheng Xia, “……”

Cheng Xia had just woken up and was still a bit confused. Now he was scared by Pei Shaoze’s words and completely woke up. He rubbed his eyes and realized he wasn’t dreaming. Cheng Xia blushed and murmured, “You, are you… proposing to me?”

He didn’t expect that Brother Pei would propose marriage in this situation. The always cold and proud alpha was kneeling on one knee beside the bed, his eyes gentle and affectionate. This scene was even better than Cheng Xia’s dream. It was beautiful beyond belief.

“Yes, I’m officially proposing to you.” Pei Shaoze stared at Cheng Xia and enunciated every word, “Cheng Xia, you’re the best person in the world and the only person I want to protect—will you marry me?”

The alpha’s eyes were gentle and firm.

Cheng Xia’s nose was sore as he nodded fiercely, “I will!”

He had been willing for a long time and even held several weddings in his dreams. Apart from Brother Pei, he wouldn’t be tempted by any alpha. It was because, in his heart, Brother Pei was the best alpha in the world, the only alpha worthy of all his life and love.

Pei Shaoze’s lips curved up into a smile as he held Cheng Xia’s hand and gently placed the carefully selected and customized ring on Cheng Xia’s ring finger.

‘Cheng Xia, you are the main character of this world and the reason I came to this world. How fortunate am I to be able to meet you? You let me experience how happy it is to love and be loved by someone.’

I just want to stay here and spend my life with you.
