-Fear-of-marriage researcher omega x younger cool-guy alpha

1

Yu Shi is the most beautiful omega at the research institute. He earned his doctorate at a young age and has plenty of admirers.

But his parents are so worried they’re sick with anxiety, because he has a severe fear of marriage and an extremely low pheromone compatibility rate. He’s practically destined to be single.

One day, Yu Shi discovers that his parents have been chatting online with people under his name.

Yu Shi: “If you’re that bored, why not take a class at a senior citizens’ university? :D”

Yu’s father: “This alpha was matched to you based on your data. Look how outstanding he is!”

The other person’s profile picture is a photo of a man in military uniform showing off his abs, with his face conveniently cropped out.

Yu Shi says gravely, “You think a graduate student at a military academy would enjoy fishing, mahjong, and bird-watching, and might also have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol?”

“Have you ever heard of a pig-butchering scam?”

Xie Ren comes from a military family and serves as deputy commander of the Falcon Corps. His outstanding combat ability has earned him the title “Blade of National Defense.” In his heart, there is room for nothing but fighting for peace, and no room for personal feelings.

To get him married and settled down, his grandfather finds him a prospective match.

The scammer is good at crafting a persona, but it’s obviously fake. He doesn’t even know where the research institute is.

Xie Ren gives a cold laugh and starts fighting back.

Xie Ren: [That 520 last time was money an old man got for collecting bottles. You scam old men too? Did you get hit with a stun baton because you couldn’t collect the money?]

Yu Shi: [Heh. If you’re blind, go get treated. That was 52 (refunds 52).]

Yu Shi: [Don’t try to scam me. Take this money and buy yourself a house, and a car while you’re at it. Be good.]

Xie Ren: [...]

The old man snatches the phone away. “You can’t court someone like this! Grandpa will teach you.”

Xie Ren: [Transfers 52013]

Yu Shi: [Why not round it up to 14? Did the higher-ups not give you enough?]

The old man: “Hehe, this kid is so interesting.”

Xie Ren grits his teeth: [We’ve been chatting for so long. Let’s meet in person.]

He has to expose the scammer!

To his surprise, the scammer happily agrees: [Saturday morning, outside the Municipal Public Security Bureau.]

Blue Star Military Academy and the research institute are working together. Yu Shi serves as a technical advisor and lives and eats with the graduate students.

There’s an alpha named Xie Ren who has long admired his research.

Whenever Xie Ren gets close to discuss academic matters with him, his pheromones pour out. When he watches Yu Shi conduct shooting tests in a shirt, his nose starts gushing blood. After Yu Shi wins an award, he secretly sends 999 flowers, with a pink card saying, “Instructor Yu’s pheromones are sweeter than roses.”

Wait, it seems like he admires Yu Shi, not his research.

His friends desperately urge him to give it a try:

“Xie Ren is so handsome! Your pheromones are a perfect match. Judging by his nose, he’s probably great in bed too.”

“He’s cheerful and outgoing, gentle and considerate. He’d make a perfect husband!”

Yu Shi thinks, Can you tell how someone is in bed by looking at their nose?

Not long afterward, he goes to the Public Security Bureau to meet the other person.

From far away, he hears Xie Ren angrily say, “The Falcon Corps is on the case. Does anyone have information on this [Little Yu Doesn’t Eat Fish]? I’m going to beat his head in.”

Yu Shi’s hands tremble as he scrolls through their chat history.

In his ears, he keeps hearing the words: cheerful and outgoing, gentle and considerate, perfect husband...

No, a good husband wouldn’t beat someone’s head in. orz

Xie Ren (online): You liar, still putting on an act for your dad?

Xie Ren (in person): Instructor Yu, these little roses are for you today. ///v///

Yu Shi: Take them away, please. My fear of marriage just got worse.

Please follow my upcoming story in the same series, about Li Zheng and Shen Qiu: The Inherited Omega. Fake stepmother * faked death and identity reveal * chains and a rabid dog.

[Air Force Marshal missing! His son Li Zheng returns from exile to seize power!], Sky Dial News

Li Zheng is a decorated alpha major, the strongest fighter on Blue Star, but his ruthless methods have repeatedly drawn calls for his impeachment.

If he gets blamed no matter what he does, then he may as well do whatever he wants.

When he’s framed, demoted, and exiled, he storms his enemies’ stronghold and gets his revenge.

When his ex is about to marry his father, he openly steals him back.

When his marshal father intervenes, he lets his father die.

When his stepmother refuses to be with him, he gets his stepmother pregnant.

He may have a terrible reputation, but he gets everything he wants.

However, his stepmother seems different from before

His ex used to be a delicate, beautiful, soft-spoken flower who couldn’t lift a thing. So who is this human weapon who can casually hoist an AK and blow enemy heads apart, then take on an entire company single-handedly?

Shen Qiu is Blue Star’s most wanted criminal, a professional bounty hunter with countless deaths to his name. His face beneath the mask is breathtakingly beautiful, and his name rings through the bounty boards.

When he is being hunted down one day, he encounters Marshal Li Huaiquan, and the two strike a deal. From then on, he is the marshal’s wife in public and a commander with troops at his back in private.

On the day of their engagement, Shen Qiu learns that he is marrying his first love’s father! When they were young and reckless, he had pretended to be a poor, pitiful little omega to coax his first love, so the other man thought he was being forced into the marriage.

Li Zheng already had a terrible relationship with his father, and now things get even worse.

Consumed by hatred, he checks in with Shen Qiu every few months.

[Is my dad dead yet?]

[He’s still not dead?]

[When is he going to die?]

Shen Qiu: = = Rabid dog.

After Li Zheng takes control, he activates his father’s private army system, but the commander of the special operations division remains nowhere to be seen.

Until, on the battlefield, he sees a familiar face through the bulletproof shield.

The person who had shared his bed the night before is wielding a machine gun and mowing down enemies, before plunging into the endless desert with an enemy ship.

Li Zheng loses control on the spot, his eyes bloodshot as he crushes the control stick.

After faking his death, Shen Qiu arrives in the uninhabited Ninth Zone. The accompanying military doctor says nervously, “Madam, the young master is already over three months along and will soon need his father’s soothing pheromones. But the marshal has been missing for three months. We need to hurry...”

Shen Qiu strokes his belly and interrupts in a quiet voice: “No need.”

Based on Shen Qiu’s last biological data, the military learns that he is pregnant. The news takes over the Blue Star headlines that very day.
