Heatwave Rum

[The full story costs only one or two yuan. Thank you for your support, dear readers. Love you!] [Preorder now open! The blurb for "Is the Sweet CEO Going on a Blind Date Today?" is at the end] * Ever since differentiating, Shen Qingyuan has been in a constant state of heat. He can hide his condition only by pretending his pheromones are going out of control. He longs for touch, comfort, and kisses, and the longer he goes without them, the more irritable and volatile he becomes. His doctor recommends finding a steady partner to soothe his emotions and ease his symptoms. * Rumor has it that Shen Qingyuan, the belle of the alpha academy, often loses control of his pheromones. Under the influence of his rum-scented pheromones, everyone else can only bow their heads and fall to their knees. His admirers adore him, pursue him, and fear him, but none can get close. Rumor has it that Cheng Jiu, the alpha academy’s weapon, has no interest in popular fields of research, and cares only about contests and combat. He falls for someone he can’t get close to, removes his own gland with his own hands, and willingly takes a path he once avoided at all costs. * Under the pressure of the pheromones, his persistent pursuers once again fall to their knees. Cheng Jiu strides through the wreckage, resolutely approaching Shen Qingyuan, who has gone into heat, grown sensitive, and been left without comfort. “I told you to wait for me. I’d find a way to get close to you.” * In an alley, someone seems completely unaffected by the pressure of the pheromones. His fingertips repeatedly brush Shen Qingyuan’s waist as he kisses his gland with deep affection. “Such a sweet wife...” “...Tsk.” “I’m sorry. I meant, such sweet rum.” “...If you bite me, don’t expect to see me again.” “How could I bear to? Let me kiss you again, darling.” Note: 1. The recipient pursues the giver. The top is bad in bed. 2. A gorgeous, universally adored top, with a few disposable bottoms. 3. Set in a future ABO world, with extensive original worldbuilding. 4. Both top and bottom recover. One-on-one pairing, happy ending. 5. Thank you for reading. If it’s not your thing, there’s no need to tell me. * Blurb for the upcoming "Is the Sweet CEO Going on a Blind Date Today?": Two CEOs | Self-made vs. third-generation wealthy | The pursuer faces a long road to win back his love Cold and distant on the outside, a sweet girl on the inside, CEO top × ex-madman turned loyal puppy, CEO bottom * They say that after graduating from a prestigious university, Jian Ting, CEO of Jian Group, started from nothing and built his company from the ground up. By day, Jian Ting looks stern. His long, pale fingers tap against the desk now and then as he mercilessly points out the problems in his subordinate’s presentation. When night falls, Jian Ting opens a hidden compartment in his wardrobe. Rows of women’s clothes fill it, their skirts’ rhinestones glittering in the dark and accentuating his enviable curves. This is Jian Ting’s secret, known only to his childhood friend. * Tempted by desserts, Jian Ting finally gives in to his childhood friend’s relentless pleading and dresses as a woman to attend a party and go on a blind date in her place. There, he unexpectedly meets Gu Yu’an, the very person Jian Group has been hoping to partner with. Jian Ting goes along with it, admitting he’s his friend’s companion. He keeps dressing as a woman every week to meet Gu Yu’an, subtly steering him toward agreeing to work with Jian Group. When nothing comes of it and he nearly gets caught up in the situation himself, Jian Ting makes a quick escape. * At a product presentation, Jian Ting deliberately avoids Gu Yu’an. He isn’t sure whether the other man will recognize him now that he’s back in men’s clothes. Forget working together. Jian Ting no longer wants anything to do with him. After the meeting, Gu Yu’an corners Jian Ting in a fire escape where the motion-activated lights flicker on and off, desire surging in his eyes. “Didn’t we agree to go on a blind date? Why did you run?” “Work with me, okay? You can set all the terms. Just don’t leave me.” “Weren’t you the one who didn’t want to? Too late.” Note: 1. Both leads are strong in their own way. The top is bad in bed, physically sensitive, and curvy. 2. The pursuer faces a long road to win back his love. The bottom pursues the top. 3. The bottom calls the top “wife” and “baby.” 4. One-on-one pairing, happy ending. Theme: Stay true to the path you choose. Don’t follow the crowd, and keep going all the way to the end.
