Chapter 88 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 39
“Get lost!”
Shuang Yu pushed the man away with a cold face. He threw back the covers and saw his body covered in what looked like dog bites, which only made him angrier.
He glared sullenly at the silent Shi Heng. Just as he was about to get out of bed, a clinking sound was heard.
His pupils trembled as he looked down in disbelief.
Well, what do you know? There was a shackle on his right ankle!
“It’s made of the softest leather, so it won’t hurt your leg.”
Seeing his handiwork, Shi Heng revealed a shy smile and explained.
“So I should thank you for that? You dog, unlock it!”
Shuang Yu’s face turned pale with anger, and he let out a cold laugh.
The latter lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said nothing for a moment before muttering.
“This is my palace. We’re in the Imperial Capital now. You don’t have to go back anymore. I’m confident I can cure your gland. I’ll make you as good as new, and I’ll make you happy… Yu!”
His heart ached slightly. Shuang Yu pinched the bridge of his nose and asked in a hoarse voice, “Your so-called happiness is to imprison me? Shi Heng, you’re really selfish. What makes you think that what you give is what I want?
“Happiness? How ridiculous… So-called happiness is just your own assumption. Don’t make it sound like you’re doing this for my own good. In the end, you’re just using me.”
A look of shame flashed in Shi Heng’s eyes. He couldn’t refute his words.
“Even if I listen to you, can you guarantee that you can make my gland undergo a second development? What if you can’t? Are you sure that placing all your hopes on me is the right choice?”
Shuang Yu raised an eyebrow and questioned him again.
The latter replied with a stubborn expression, “It will definitely succeed. No matter what, I won’t let you die…”
His expression was frantic, as if he couldn’t accept the possibility of failure at all.
Just the thought of Shuang Yu dying made Shi Heng’s heart ache uncontrollably. The cowardice he had never shown, not even when facing his kidnappers, was now on full display.
“And what if it fails?”
Shuang Yu stared at him intently, demanding an answer.
“Then I’ll die with you!”
Shi Heng said fearlessly, his gaze firm.
He made death sound far too easy.
Who couldn’t make vows of eternal love?
Even Wei Yichen could completely forget the person in his heart and find solace in someone else.
How much better could this selfish guy be?
Tired at heart, Shuang Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore. From the bottom of his heart, he didn’t believe Shi Heng’s words.
“You must be hungry. I made you seafood congee. Quick, try it while it’s hot…”
Shi Heng solicitously picked up the bowl of congee, blew on it to cool it, and brought it to Shuang Yu’s mouth.
The latter pressed his lips together, closed his eyes, and ignored him.
“Yu… don’t be like this… At least eat a little, or your body won’t be able to take it.”
He patiently tried to persuade him.
Shuang Yu impatiently waved his hand away.
Splat—
The congee spilled on him. Before he could say anything, Shi Heng, his face filled with alarm, scooped him up and rushed to the bathroom.
He turned on the shower, pouring cold water on his reddened skin, and apologized in a low, hoarse voice, “Does it hurt? It’s all my fault, I’m sorry… Yu, if you’re unhappy, you can hit me or curse me, but don’t hurt yourself…”
Looking at his reddened skin, Shi Heng’s heart ached. He was the one who was hurt, but he himself felt so much pain that every breath felt like it was piercing his bones.
He had said that he liked Shuang Yu’s smile. He didn’t want to see him hurt, and he certainly didn’t want to see his cold expression.
Could it be that he had really done the wrong thing?
But besides tying him to his side, he had no idea how else to keep him.
What could he do to make Shuang Yu happy again?
Shi Heng was very troubled.
After coming out of the bedroom, he immediately instructed the chief steward to get a small golden retriever of the best breed.
By the time he had made breakfast again, the dog had arrived.
Holding the breakfast in one hand and the leash in the other, Shi Heng rushed excitedly into the bedroom.
“Yu, Yu, the little golden retriever you like, I brought him for you!”
Shuang Yu, who was lying in bed in a daze, didn’t want to bother with him. He rolled over and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
“Go on, go find your daddy.”
Shi Heng pointed to the large bed and rubbed the little golden retriever’s head.
“Woof woof!”
The little golden retriever, as if understanding his words, ran toward the bed with its tail wagging. It put its front paws on the edge of the bed and struggled to climb up.
The two-month-old puppy was very small and weak. It could barely reach the edge of the bed and just couldn’t climb up.
After much effort, it managed to get halfway up, only to fall back down with a whimper and a kick of its legs. But it was tireless, continuing to try again and again, barking all the while.
Its silly appearance made Shuang Yu chuckle.
“Baby, your daddy smiled!”
Seeing him smile, Shi Heng also grinned foolishly. He put down the tray, went around to the other side of the bed, and bent down to lift the little golden retriever onto the bed.
“Woof woof.”
The little golden retriever ran to Shuang Yu’s side, wagging its tail, licking his face, and wagging its tail some more.
Shuang Yu hadn’t expected him to use a dog to curry favor with him. He glared at him helplessly and cursed, “You’re more of a dog than the dog!”
Shi Heng blinked his big, beautiful eyes and silently took this as a compliment.
“Yu, let’s eat.”
“I can eat by myself!”
Afraid that he would try to feed him again, Shuang Yu sat up and started eating the congee from the bedside table.
The latter watched him from the side of the bed with a blissful expression, feeling that this was a moment of perfect tranquility.
He even wished that time could stand still forever.
Shi Heng had originally gotten the golden retriever to make Shuang Yu happy.
But three days later, he completely regretted it.
The reason was none other than the fact that Shuang Yu completely ignored him and only played with the golden retriever.
At night, whenever he tried to climb into bed, he would be kicked off.
But that damned golden retriever could sleep right next to Shuang Yu without a care in the world.
In the end, he could only switch places with the dog.
The golden retriever and Shuang Yu slept on the bed, while he pitifully slept on the floor!
Shi Heng was jealous, and Shi Heng was resentful.
He really wanted to do something nasty to the little golden retriever, but Shuang Yu doted on it. The little guy, in turn, took advantage of this favor and didn’t pay him any mind. He could even see the intense provocation in the little golden retriever’s eyes when they were competing for affection!
After losing another battle for affection with the golden retriever, a dejected Shi Heng walked out of the bedroom and said to the steward through gritted teeth, “Go find me some dog ears and a dog tail. I want to be a dog!”
The steward: “…”
Half an hour later, Shi Heng, wearing dog ears and a dog tail tied around his waist, rushed happily into the bedroom.
“Woof woof!”
He didn’t speak anymore, just barked at Shuang Yu.
“Pfft… cough cough…”
Shuang Yu, who was drinking water, nearly choked to death.
Damn it, has he gone mad, or have I?!
Just as he was wondering, the little golden retriever excitedly wagged its propeller-like tail and rushed toward Shi Heng. It started pawing at his leg and doing, well, you know what. From the looks of it, it was treating him like a little female dog!
“Get away, you bastard! How dare you molest this Crown Prince…”
Shi Heng’s face turned livid with anger. He kept lifting his leg to dodge, but he didn’t dare to kick it. After all, his current status in the household was the lowest, perfectly illustrating the saying that a man is worse off than a dog.
“Hahaha… a dog is like its owner. That saying is absolutely right. You’re a dog, and your pet is even more of a dog than you!”
Shuang Yu could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.
He hadn’t laughed so freely in a long time. Shi Heng stood there in a daze for a moment. Then, with reddened eyes, he suddenly rushed to the bedside, bent down, pressed the back of his head, and kissed him hard.
