Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 40 -:39

At noon that day, the exhausted Sheng Shaoyou took a rare nap.

He hadn’t slept so soundly in days.

Come to think of it, I have been really unlucky recently. First, I was inexplicably assaulted after the banquet, and then I woke up and couldn’t sleep or eat because of Hua Yong’s disappearance.

These days, Sheng Shaoyou has been extremely anxious, feeling short of breath and physically exhausted.

I slept until four in the afternoon.

When I woke up, Hua Yong was wearing an apron and bringing chiffon cakes from the oven to the table.

Sheng Shaoyou doesn’t like sweet food very much, so Hua Yong made a reduced-sugar version. Not enough sugar was added, and the whipped egg whites deflated quickly, so the chiffon cake was not as soft as the conventional recipe, but the sweetness was just right, which was the taste Sheng Shaoyou liked.

Although the appearance was not very good, Sheng Shaoyou still pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth, commenting: "It’s very sweet."

Hua Yong was a little nervous and frowned in frustration: "Is it still sweet? I have reduced the sugar by half."

Sheng Shaoyou smiled and leaned forward to lick the corner of his lips: "Well, it’s sweet even without sugar, because of what you made."

The young Alpha watched with satisfaction as his sweetheart’s face slowly turned red. His gloomy mood, which had been caused by the loss and humiliation suffered during the night stealing, began to brighten up a little.

My heart is like a freshly baked cake base, soft and sweet.

After regaining the quiet orchid fragrance that belonged only to him and sleeping in her arms for the whole afternoon, Sheng Shaoyou’s aches and pains felt much better. He felt refreshed, and even the pain from the bite on the back of his neck was alleviated.

That afternoon, they had a pleasant afternoon tea together, and then returned to the study, intending to pick two books to read.

Sheng Shaoyou refused to walk properly, clinging to Hua Yong and hanging on him. Hua Yong was tripped by him and couldn’t walk. She pushed him with a smile and said, "Mr. Sheng, how can I walk like this?"

"You figure it out yourself." Sheng Shaoyou was unreasonable, lowered his head and bit his ear: "Our Hua Yong is so smart, he will definitely be able to think of a solution."

Alpha’s unreasonable look is so adorable, and his tone is so soft that it could squeeze water out of it, as if he couldn’t survive a single day without Hua Yong.

Hua Yong got what he wanted, smiled with curved eyebrows, and touched his back with his backhand, like an experienced hunter stroking a tamed wolf: "Mr.

Sheng, be a good boy."

"You’re already very well behaved." Sheng Shaoyou laughed softly, his breath warm and sweet: "I’ll show you next time when you’re not well behaved in the room, don’t scare me."

Hua Yong turned around and met his eyes, her eyes sparkling, as if saying: Give me a scare.

Sheng Shaoyou’s bookcase was brought from his old house. During the move, four strong A-class Alphas were unable to lift it completely. The wood was precious and heavy, and the cross-section of the indoor elevator was too narrow to fit it. They tried their best but failed to move it to the study on the second floor by manpower alone. In the end, they had to use a crane to lift it from the second-floor balcony to the room.

The cabinet was a dowry from Sheng Shaoyou’s mother. The old wood handed down from ancestors has become more fresh over time and emits a soothing wooden fragrance in the study.

Sheng Shaoyou stood in front of the cabinet and took out a copy of Descartes’ "Meditations on First Philosophy". Hua Yong stood beside him, his fingers hesitating between Gibran’s "Sand and Foam" and Zweig’s "The World of Yesterday". Sheng Shaoyou observed him gently with his peripheral vision. His slender white fingers were elegant and soft, making people feel soft and warm in their hearts.

Hua Yong finally chose Gibran’s collection of essays and gently pressed his fingers on the spine of the book, but before he could pull it out, the book suddenly shook slightly. Hua Yong’s expression became alert, and his hand pressing the book did not move again.

A strange sound that had never been heard before came from nowhere.

Sheng Shaoyou also felt the vibration, but the amplitude was too small and the duration was too short.

He was a little unsure for a moment, and raised his head sharply to look around, trying to distinguish whether the feeling just now was an illusion or reality. Just as he held his breath and looked around, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Thump, thump, thump— The solid floor seemed to have produced countless whirlpools in an instant. The huge waves crashed into each other violently, and the whirlpool suddenly swallowed up everything that was originally fixed to the ground. The heavy cabinet was no longer just shaking, it was like a candle stuck in melted butter, shaking and falling down, and suddenly fell towards Hua Yong who was standing on the left side of the bookcase.

Boom—bang!

Sheng Shaoyou was caught off guard, but his instinct took precedence over his reason. By the time he reacted, his body had already automatically pounced over and grabbed Hua Yong’s wrist, holding him tightly in his arms.

The action is quick, as fast as lightning.

The muscles on the S-class Alpha’s back were tensed to the extreme. The heavy cabinet pressed his internal organs as if they were displaced, and his bones squeezed his muscles, causing unspeakable pain. The hard wooden frame hit the corner of his forehead, breaking the skin immediately, and blood slowly flowed from his forehead.

Sheng Shaoyou’s expression did not show any panic at all.

He is courageous, resolute, and a natural protector.

Hua Yong looked at him with eyes wide open, with a complexity in his eyes that Sheng Shaoyou could not understand. He seemed very surprised that Sheng Shaoyou would suddenly rush over to save him, and even more surprised that this inconspicuous wooden cabinet was so heavy that it could actually injure the powerful S-class Alpha.

"It looks like an earthquake," he said.

Perhaps because she was hiding in Alpha’s arms, Hua Yong seemed very calm.

Sheng Shaoyou felt a piercing pain on his forehead, and his back hurt as if he had been trampled by a group of elephants. The glands that had been bitten not long ago were throbbing, and the stinging pain from the glands spread to his back through the sensitive nerves, merging with the severe pain of being crushed by a heavy object.

"Hmm—" He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Hua Yong and tell her not to be afraid, but before he could say anything, a cry of pain escaped from his lips.

The violent shaking never stopped, and the angle of the cabinet away from the wall continued to increase, forcing the top-level Alpha who was struggling to stand up straight, and he gritted his teeth and gasped heavily.

"Hey, hey—" The weight of hundreds of kilograms is enough to crush any inferior male Alpha.

Sheng Shaoyou’s legs were numb from overuse a few days ago, and his long neck had a strong, throbbing vein due to excessive force.

The Omega in his arms looked at him, with obvious hesitation in his eyes.

The other furniture in the house was shaking violently at a amplitude visible to the naked eye, the windows were creaking as if they would break at any time, and the surrounding walls and ceilings were constantly making dull, disintegrating and cutting sounds.

Crunch—click—click!

The wall paint of the ceiling was falling down, making it impossible to open one’s eyes. All kinds of trophies and ornaments on the top of the cabinet fell down one by one, crackling and hitting each other. The deer head ornament right above the cabinet was embedded in the wall and was shaking with the vibration of the wall.

This work, which the artist calls "The Immortal Deer", is lifelike, with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, but it shows a precarious situation.

Time was also broken into pieces by the vibration, and it was shattered into pieces. It was only a dozen seconds, but it seemed as long as a century.

Sheng Shaoyou was about to run out of strength, but the shaking showed no sign of stopping. Before he exhausted all his strength, he loosened his arms around Hua Yong, raised his hands with difficulty, held his shoulders, and consoled him with a sharp gaze: "It’s okay, don’t be afraid."

The shaking intensified, and the cabinet fell over even more violently. The huge pressure on his back and the sharp headache made it difficult for him to speak.

There was a taste of blood in his mouth. He squeezed out words of advice and comfort from between his teeth:

"You... leave here first, find an... open... place, I’ll be there... soon."

His vision blurred and the fair and beautiful face in front of him gradually dimmed. Hua Yong opened his mouth and seemed to say something, but Sheng Shaoyou could not hear it clearly. The sounds around him became more and more distant, and he felt that he was losing consciousness.

Snap—— The wall behind suddenly cracked.

The metal buckle that fixed the deer’s head loosened due to the violent vibration, and the deer’s head tilted to one side. The antlers hooked the metal ring and pulled the already shaky fixing buckle completely off!

During the vibration, the huge deer head was no longer under control and suddenly fell down.

Teng—— Sheng Shaoyou saw a huge black shadow looming over his head, but he was too busy to avoid it. Although the deer head was just a decoration, it was made of solid material and weighed at least ten kilograms. If it hit him in the head and vital parts, it would be fatal.

Bang! Boom— Sheng Shaoyou subconsciously closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not happen. When he opened his eyes again, the deer head was lying in pieces on the floor a few meters away. Half of the deer eye rolled to his feet, as if accusing its body of being ripped open by the claws of some ferocious beast.

Sheng Shaoyou had no time to be frightened, nor did he have the energy to think more. Before the darkness surrounded his consciousness, he suddenly looked up.

——The Omega who had been held tightly in his arms stretched out his thin wrist, and his slender palm passed over him and pressed on the cabinet weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Sheng Shaoyou’s back suddenly felt light, and his tense muscles relaxed immediately after the pressure was removed. However, he had no time to adjust his bent knees, and he fell forward with an unstable center of gravity.

Hua Yong, who had been curled up in his arms, frowned slightly, as if angered by the blood-stained face he had. Unprecedented anger and gloom emerged on her pale face.

He hugged Sheng Shaoyou who rushed forward, holding his waist tightly to prevent him from getting hurt again due to falling. The arm around his waist was very thin, and his chest was very thin, but the embrace was unexpectedly very broad and reliable.

Hua Yong held the fallen Sheng Shaoyou in one hand and gently raised the other hand. With an expressionless face, he pushed the damn heavy cabinet against the wall with a "bang". The huge force smashed a large concave hole in the trembling wall. The terrifyingly heavy bookcase was nailed firmly in place, and the cabinet body was stuck in the gap between the bricks and tiles, without shaking at all. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The crisis was over, and Sheng Shaoyou’s eyes suddenly lost focus. He slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness slipped into endless darkness.
