Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 78

Chap 78
At the same time, Gu Yuanchen, with a thick-skinned face, asked several Alpha friends he
had known during his university days before finally finding one Alpha who’s omega
frequently exhibited nesting behavior.
When that Alpha started talking about nesting behavior, his face was full of happiness.
“What’s so difficult about this? Just be good to him during this period, and your life together
will be a hundred times happier than others.”
Gu Yuanchen asked, “But what if he keeps hiding in the closet and won’t let the Alpha get
close.”
The friend looked embarrassed, “Yuanchen, I remember back in school, wasn’t Ji Mu really
into you? Didn’t he chase after you first? Our whole department remembers it. It’s only
been a few years, and you’ve lost your touch? Isn’t it because of your role as a CEO?”
“It’s not me and Ji Mu!” Gu Yuanchen couldn’t reveal the truth since it was Gu Nuan’s
privacy.
His friend was resolute, “I don’t believe it.”
“…It really isn’t me and Ji Mu! It’s, it’s a friend of mine.”
His friend thought Gu Yuanchen was making up excuses, becoming even more speechless,
“What’s so embarrassing about it? If an Omega exhibits nesting behavior, it means they’re
compatible with their Alpha. How many people wish for that and haven’t achieved it yet?”
Gu Yuanchen coughed lightly, unable to explain further. For Gu Nuan’s sake, he reluctantly
asked, “When your Omega is nesting… do they still recognize you?”
“The first time, they probably won’t recognize you because exhibiting this behavior
indicates that their glands are temporarily craving Alpha pheromones, making them more
sensitive and shy. So, you have to approach slowly, like raising a little bunny. Once they get
used to you, it’s fine.” There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone, and the Alpha was
clearly immersed in the sweetness of their Omega, “Then, you can just hold them in your
arms and comfort them.”
They talked a lot but didn’t get to the point.
“…So, how do you comfort them?”

“Mainly, it depends on the Alpha’s charm!”
Gu Yuanchen promptly hung up the phone and decided he didn’t want to attend the class
reunion next month.
However, at that moment, he received a text message from Han Yang: “[Uncle Gu, it’s
already resolved.]”
Gu Yuanchen hurriedly asked, “[How was it resolved?] Did you emit your Alpha charm?”
Han Yang replied, “[I’m sorry, Uncle Gu, I can’t answer that.]”
An hour later, a bewildered Gu Nuan sat in front of Han Yang, still in a daze, holding a pair
of underwear like a statue.
“Brother.”
“What is it?”

“Believe it or not, this… this wasn’t me.” Gu Nuan suddenly let go of the underwear he was
holding and didn’t realize there was another one tucked in his pocket.
He looked despondent, his face turning red as he explained to Han Yang, “I’m not a pervert,
I’m not!”
Han Yang didn’t think Gu Nuan was a pervert at all. In fact, he found Gu Nuan’s nesting
behavior incredibly cute and was eager to witness it again.
So, he honestly said, “Gu Nuan, I think you’re adorable when you nest.”
“Is there anything adorable about stealing underwear?!” Gu Nuan felt like crying. He
thought Han Yang was even more of a pervert than himself.
Han Yang didn’t deny it at all, “Of course.”
“Why don’t you try stealing my underwear and see if you’re still cute?”
“The word ‘stealing’ isn’t quite appropriate. If I want your underwear, I can just take it or
you can give it to me directly. Besides, I’ve acted like a pervert before, remember how you
used to call me that?” Han Yang couldn’t resist teasing Gu Nuan, his words filled with a
mischievous smile, a rare occurrence of him being a “rascal.”
Gu Nuan, “…”
Gu Nuan found it increasingly difficult to argue with Han Yang. He looked at Han Yang’s
lingering gaze and felt even more hopeless.

It seemed like he had crossed a line he couldn’t come back from because it was indeed his
doing. Although it was unintentional at the time, he hadn’t lost his memory, and his mind
was filled with memories of stealing underwear.
He was finished.
While others engaged in nesting behavior by choosing their Alpha’s outerwear, why did he
specifically choose underwear?
Gu Nuan looked at Han Yang, his voice filled with grievances as he spoke first, “Brother, I
really didn’t mean to do it. I couldn’t control myself. You were on the phone for so long… I
suddenly felt so sad, and I did it. I didn’t do it on purpose…”
He was ashamed of what he had done.
Han Yang reassured him, “okay, okay, Don’t be sad. I was just joking with you earlier; it’s
my fault for going too far. I didn’t mean it.”
“It’s not that…,” Gu Nuan wasn’t seeking an apology from Han Yang; he just felt guilty about
his actions.
But Han Yang said, “However, your behavior is normal during the gland recovery period.
Don’t feel ashamed. You can have as many of my underwear as you want; they’re all yours.”
Han Yang raised a corner of his mouth, opening his arms wide, “Xiao Nuan, even I belong to
you.”
Gu Nuan liked it when Han Yang called him “Xiao Nuan.” He said it very occasionally, and
every time was a pleasant surprise. Gu Nuan was coaxed into Han Yang’s arms, blushing so
much that he couldn’t lift his head, “Brother, can you temporarily forget about this
incident?”
Han Yang felt that this might be a bit difficult as he was still savoring the moment.
Gu Nuan coquettishly whispered, “Brother, I’ll buy you lots and lots of new underwear,
please forget about this, I beg you. Pretty please, pretty please?”
On the surface, Han Yang appeared calm, but inside, he felt like a tidal wave had swept over
him.
After Gu Nuan fell asleep, Han Yang took out his phone and searched:
“Is nesting behavior in Omega always this cute?”

“Do Omegas like to hide in the closet during nesting?”
“What is the phase of Omega nesting like? Why do they act so spoiled when they wake up?”
“When an Omega is nesting, can you kiss them multiple times?”
“When can an Omega nest for the second time?”
“For Omegas who exhibit nesting behavior due to gland issues, will they continue nesting
after gland recovery?”
And so on.
As Han Yang wished, in the first week after being marked, Gu Nuan frequently exhibited
nesting behavior. He would often build a nest on the bed, playfully hold Han Yang’s
underwear, and happily wiggle his bottom, cuddling with a pile of Han Yang’s underwear
and clothes.
Fortunately, Gu Nuan had become familiar with him. A gentle pat on Gu Nuan’s head, and
he would crawl out of the “nest” he had built and into Han Yang’s arms, nuzzling in the
crook of Han Yang’s neck.
During such moments, the scent of strawberries on Gu Nuan’s body was particularly strong,
like the sweet fragrance of ripe strawberries waiting to be picked. It made Han Yang’s heart
itch, and he couldn’t resist any longer.
Because when an Omega completed their nest, it carried another meaning – an invitation
for the Alpha they desired to come and spend some intimate time in the nest they had
painstakingly built.
As for how they “spent time” together, Gu Nuan had a very clear understanding of it when
he woke up the next day. Despite lingering feelings of tenderness, they couldn’t compare to
Gu Nuan feeling sore all over.
He clutched his sore butt and stuttered, “I-I know this helps with gland recovery, it’s not
your fault. But my butt is really tired, it’s so, so tired, and I’ve been eating so much these
days, yet I’ve lost weight…”
He took a deep breath, still holding one of Han Yang’s underwear in his hand, forgetting to
let go.
Han Yang felt guilty, massaging Gu Nuan’s waist with self-blame to the point that he even
considered sleeping on the floor from that night onward.
This made Gu Nuan, in turn, feel concerned for Han Yang. He quickly changed the subject,
and mumbled, “Brother, it doesn’t hurt that much.” He then continued, “Don’t let Aunt Xu
buy strawberry-flavored pudding anymore; I feel like I’ve turned into a strawberry myself,
the smell is too strong.”
“But I really like it.” Han Yang held Gu Nuan’s face and planted a kiss on him.
Gu Nuan felt a warm tingling in his heart, and he couldn’t help but smile. “Well, but I really
don’t want to eat strawberry-flavored pudding anymore. Aren’t you tired of it?”
“I’m not tired.” Han Yang couldn’t get tired of strawberry-flavored anything, including the
one in front of him.
With that, he lowered his head and gently kissed Gu Nuan’s neck, sincerely repeating, “I
really like it.”
And so, Gu Nuan was charmed by Han Yang’s heartfelt sweet talk, forgetting all about his
sore butt, and they happily moved closer to each other…
In the second week, Gu Nuan’s nesting behavior started to show some restraint, and his
gland recovery speed was indeed quite rapid.
Han Yang was still not completely satisfied, and Gu Nuan had his fair share of suffering and
pleasure every night.
Finally, Ji Mu and Gu Yuanchen were able to visit Gu Nuan, accompanied by Su Li, who had
been deeply worried about him.
