Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 75

Chap 75
When Gu Nuan woke up, it was already nine in the morning of the next day, and he found
himself lying in an unfamiliar bed. The surroundings were strangely familiar yet not quite
so, and he couldn’t decide whether he was in a place he knew well or not.
After stretching lazily, he suddenly remembered that this exquisitely decorated room was
none other than his apartment in the city center, the one he received as a coming-of-age gift
when he turned eighteen. Ji Mu and Gu Yuanchen had spent a long time picking it out for
him.
Before he could ponder further, Han Yang pushed open the door and said, “Awake?”
“Brother!” Gu Nuan’s mood brightened instantly. He couldn’t explain why, but today’s Han
Yang looked even better and more charming than yesterday’s. Could it be because of the
injection after effects?
Gu Nuan waited for Han Yang to approach, planted a couple of kisses on his face, and stuck
to him, asking, “Why are we here?”
“The doctor said you can’t have contact with other Alphas and Omegas this week, so Uncle
Ji suggested we stay here for a while.”
Since Han Yang couldn’t leave Gu Nuan for too long, Ji Mu had packed their clothes and sent
them over overnight, including everything in Han Yang’s rented apartment. Nothing was
left behind, as Gu Nuan might engage in “nesting behavior” after the injection.
Ji Mu had even thoughtfully arranged for Aunt Xu to come along. The new housekeeper
didn’t know them as well, and having Aunt Xu around would make it easier to take care of
their meals during this period.
This apartment had six rooms, four living rooms, was spacious, well-insulated, and was a
duplex. To avoid disturbing them, Aunt Xu stayed on the first floor of the apartment
building, which Gu’s family had also purchased.
Gu Nuan had been sweating profusely the previous night and felt he smelled unpleasant,
but Han Yang didn’t seem to mind. He had even held Gu Nuan throughout the night. If there
was a scent on Gu Nuan now, it was probably the minty pheromone Han Yang had left
behind.
Gu Nuan took a refreshing shower. When he emerged from the bathroom, he was barefoot.
Before he could take a few steps, Han Yang swept him off his feet and sat him on the bed,
helping him put on slippers.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, Gu Nuan raised his foot and pretended to be embarrassed
saying, “brother, I’m not a kid I can put on my own slippers.”

“Okay,” Han Yang, squatting down, pinched his ankle and asked. “What would you like for
breakfast? I’ll make it for you.”
“I’m not very hungry, but I do want a fried egg sandwich, preferably with tomatoes.” Gu
Nuan was a loyal fan of tomatoes.
He touched his glands, which were as unresponsive as ever, and asked Han Yang with a hint
of embarrassment, “Did you ask that doctor when my glands might start responding?”
“Within a month.”
Maybe it would be today, or perhaps the last day.
Gu Nuan wondered, “Doesn’t that mean I can’t go out for the entire month?” Fortunately, it
was summer vacation, and he had Han Yang to keep him company.
Han Yang smiled and said, “After this sensitive period is over, Uncle Ji and Uncle Gu will be
able to come see you. Remember to give them a call after breakfast.”
…

Aunt Xu was downstairs getting familiar with the environment of the apartment. While Han
Yang went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Gu Nuan, she praised Gu Nuan endlessly,
saying, “Young Master, could this be your honeymoon suite? It’s so impressive, beautifully
decorated. It’s even more comfortable than the villa back home.”
“Auntie Xu, what are you talking about? We haven’t even thought about getting married…”
“You child, aren’t you planning to get married sooner or later? Why be shy? Mr. Ji and
President Gu can’t wait for you two to get married immediately and get the certificate right
away. I can see that Young Master Han is head over heels for you, his eyes are filled with
sweetness when he looks at you. He has always been aloof, but he only becomes like this
with you.”
Gu Nuan felt his spirits lift at Aunt Xu’s words. He cleared his throat awkwardly and
blushed. He hugged his shoulders and strolled around the spacious apartment with Aunt
Xu, admiring the decoration in every corner.
“Yes, this apartment does make a great honeymoon suite!”
“It really does!” Aunt Xu gave a thumbs-up, praising the house.
“But, I think the house is a bit too big. I’d prefer a smaller one.” Gu Nuan touched his chin
and thought for a moment. “The rented room that Brother lives in is small, but it’s quite
nice. We’re close to each other everywhere we go…”
He didn’t know what was going on in his mind, but he couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
At that moment, Han Yang, holding sandwiches and milk, appeared from the kitchen at the
other end of the house. He called out to Gu Nuan, “Gu Nuan? Come over for breakfast.”
Thinking about Aunt Xu’s words earlier, he started to say, “Brother, our honeymoon suite
should be…”

But before he could finish the sentence, Gu Nuan suddenly felt a pang in his glands. It
wasn’t a severe pain, but rather a dense, mild ache. After just a few seconds, both Gu Nuan
and Han Yang seemed to smell a scent…
In an instant, strawberry pheromones, which hadn’t appeared in years, flooded the room.
Gu Nuan’s face turned beet red, and he stood there bewildered, looking at Han Yang and
saying, “Brother…” He was no stranger to his own pheromones, but he hadn’t experienced
them for a long time, and he couldn’t control or contain them at this moment and it felt
weird.
Moreover, his current pheromones seemed unusual, and even though he was an Alpha, Han
Yang instantly recognized that these were the pheromones associated with an Omega’s
heat period.
Han Yang didn’t waste a moment and lifted the limp Gu Nuan into his arms.
Panicked, Gu Nuan said, “I can’t control them… Brother, am I strange? These pheromones
don’t seem like mine.”
“This is a period that every Omega goes through, and they can’t control them either,” Han
Yang said, his voice deep and gentle. “You’re not strange at all.”
“But…”
“Gu Nuan, it smells really good.”
“…”
“I like it very much.”
Gu Nuan’s inner unease vanished as he nodded obediently. He had a vague understanding
of what was about to happen but was also confused about what he would become next.
Han Yang quickly headed upstairs, calling out, “Auntie Xu, could you please prepare some
pine nut porridge and keep it in a thermos? Don’t come upstairs today; I’ll come down and
talk to you if there’s anything.”
“Alright,” Auntie Xu understood, and she immediately rushed to the kitchen to prepare the
porridge.
Pine nut porridge needed to be simmered slowly over low heat until it was thoroughly
cooked.

Meanwhile, Gu Nuan, who had been carried into the bedroom by Han Yang, had flushed
cheeks and felt physically weak.
His first heat wasn’t particularly intense.
A nurse at the Central Hospital had given Han Yang some instructions: “Because Gu Nuan’s
pheromones are still not fully developed, his first heat won’t be particularly attractive to
Alphas to the point of losing their senses. Also, he won’t exhibit as many instinctive
behaviors as other Omegas, and his consciousness will remain relatively clear and shy. As
his Alpha, you need to take the initiative, guide him gently, and help him complete this
bonding.”
As Han Yang gently placed Gu Nuan on the bed, before Gu Nuan could say anything, Han
Yang leaned over and passionately kissed him.
Moments later a faint scent of blood lingered in the air as Gu Nuan’s strawberry
pheromones began to retract. The prolonged heat finally came to an end.
Han Yang’s rationality gradually returned, and he released a sigh of relief, gently caressing
the wound on Gu Nuan’s neck.
The soothing minty pheromones provided Gu Nuan with a moment of relief. He furrowed
his brows and leaned into Han Yang’s embrace, accepting everything Han Yang did in a
manner that lacked dignity yet conveyed dependency.
