After awakening the evil god, it was marked

Shen Zhichen saw Yan Zhijin suddenly fell to his knees, stunned for a moment, hurried up to him, helped him up, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhijin lay on his arm blankly, staring blankly at the front, tears slid down his cheeks to his cuffs.

After a few minutes, Yan Zhijin wiped his eyes, coughed twice, stood up with support, and said hoarsely, "It's okay."

"Injured?" Shen Zhichen sized him up.

"It's not serious." Yan Zhijin straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, and saw the ring on his right ring finger again.

The strangely shaped red gem is oval-shaped at first glance, but it is found to be a polyhedron upon closer inspection, showing a crystal clear red color, reminiscent of bright pigeon blood.

He pulled the ring out violently, but the ring seemed to stick to his finger, no matter how hard he tried, it would not budge.

"You bought it new?" Shen Zhichen asked.

In his cognition, his younger brother has no intention of falling in love at all, and it is even less likely that he will suddenly have a private life with an alpha, so this ring is probably a jewelry he bought himself.

Although my brother seldom wears jewelry, and the position of this ring is also very strange, but my brother can wear it whenever he wants, and he can wear whatever he likes.

"..." Yan Zhijin didn't answer, took a deep breath, put his ring-wearing hand into his pocket, and asked the army members who were investigating the scene, "Did you find anything unusual?"

The men in military uniforms saluted him respectfully, and replied solemnly, "Not yet."

Yan Zhijin looked around.

That man disappeared without a trace, and even the traces of his existence disappeared without a trace, making one wonder if everything just now was just a nightmare.

But his swollen eyes, swollen glands, tearing pain in his back, and the ring on his finger all reminded him that what just happened was reality.

His serpent became a "god" and marked him.

Then he became furious at his rejection, almost destroyed everything he had, and mercifully took back the punishment.

...just assholes.

Seeing his younger brother's uncertain face, Shen Zhichen said worriedly: "Go back and rest first, we will handle the matter of that man."

"...No, you don't need to waste your time." Yan Zhijin was silent for a moment, digging hard at the huge gemstone on the ring, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "You can't find him. But he will come back to me. I will contact you in time."

Shen Zhichen thought of the fact that they clearly shot the man in the forehead, but now they couldn't even find any blood, and also realized the horror of the man, his face darkened slightly: "Okay. But you have to be careful. Arrange more people during this time." at your side."

Yan Zhijin shook his head.

The closer they were to him, the more dangerous they were.He didn't want to get other people into trouble for now.

Shen Zhichen couldn't resist him, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go home first. Father is still waiting for you."

Yan Zhijin let out a breath slowly, confirmed to Shen Zhichen that the rest of the institute was safe, and went to another floor to bring a cage.

Inside the cage is a cute snow-white lop-eared rabbit with gray tips, similar to the one shown during the day, but obviously more delicate.

The rabbit lay quietly in the cage, looking around.

Shen Zhichen took the cage, put his finger into the iron railing, and shook it in front of the rabbit: "New research?"

"It's been researched a long time ago. I've been observing it a while ago, and I've confirmed that there's nothing wrong with it." Yan Zhijin checked his things.

"For father?"

"……Um."

The lop-eared rabbit didn't panic when it saw Shen Zhichen, but just sniffed his hand curiously, then hugged his finger, and bit down on it.

Shen Zhichen showed a smile on his perennially ice-berg face.

"...Don't tease it with your fingers," Yan Zhijin turned to see his movements, and warned, "It's very fierce and might bite you."

"Oh." Shen Zhichen withdrew his finger reluctantly, looking like he was still full of ideas.

"Let's go."

Shen Zhichen put the cage in the back seat of the car, and sat in the front row with Yan Zhijin.

It was almost three o'clock, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, only a few street lamps were conscientiously illuminating the street.

Shen Zhichen still arranged for some people to search the research institute, not seeking to find the man who kidnapped his brother, but also seeking to rescue other wounded and eliminate hidden dangers.

Yan Zhijin looked at his stern and serious side face, with a sore nose, and swallowed his words of persuasion.

A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

His brother is doing his best to keep him safe, but he may lead him into danger.

No, he won't let that happen.

The villa is still brightly lit late at night.

Yan Zhijin followed Shen Zhichen into the door, sniffing the familiar yet unfamiliar smell in the air.

The light was on in the living room, but no one was there.

Shen Zhichen called "Father" to the kitchen, and a burly figure appeared at the door.

Shen Chengfeng was wearing a cartoon gray wolf apron, leaning against the door frame with his hands crossed over his chest, and asked sharply, "Are you back?"

Dressed in his uniform under his apron, he seemed ready to go out on some important mission.With a height of 1.9 meters, he has a strong figure, a broad chest and back, and the sleeves of his shirt are bulging with muscles, almost stretched. It is very incongruous with the cartoon gray wolf apron.

His facial features are fierce, even if he laughs, he can scare a child to cry, but now that he is frowning, he looks even more serious and terrifying.Even now that he has wrinkled and white hair, he still stands tall and straight, with burning eyes, which makes people surrender involuntarily.

"What's going on? Why did you lose contact?" His tone was stern, and his voice was full of anger.

Yan Zhijin glanced at him, sat down on the sofa, and didn't speak.

Shen Chengfeng's face darkened.

Shen Zhichen turned his eyes around the two of them.He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he was not good at words, hesitated for a long time, and just took out the rabbit: "Father, this is..."

"Let me ask you, what happened?" Shen Chengfeng's tone became more aggressive.

Yan Zhijin glanced at him again, but still didn't speak, staring at the vase on the table in a daze.

Shen Chengfeng's already dark face darkened again.

Yan Zhijin didn't seem to notice his impatience, so he just stood in a stalemate with him.

"Shen Chengfeng, why are you talking to the child?" A cold voice came from the stairs.

The imposing manner around Shen Chengfeng suddenly eased, he wiped his hands on the apron, walked up the stairs quickly, and asked softly: "Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early, are Zhichen and I here? "

"I can't sleep." Yan Tingxue kissed him, looked at Yan Zhijin who turned his face away from them, and shook his head, "Are you mean to the child?"

"I haven't." Shen Chengfeng choked out a sentence, looking a little aggrieved, "I asked him what's wrong, but he didn't answer me."

"Is it as loud as yours? I can hear your voice in the room." Yan Tingxue gave him a reproachful look, walked down the stairs quickly, sat next to Yan Zhijin, and asked with concern, "How is it?" , are you injured?"

"It's okay." Yan Zhijin whispered.

"I... I'm in a hurry." Shen Chengfeng held his breath even harder when he saw the two people's amiable and intimate appearance.

He stood for a while, and found that none of the two people paid attention to him, and could only walk into the kitchen dejectedly.

From a distance, it looks like a big dog with a drooping tail.

Yan Tingxue caught a glimpse of his disappearance, and explained in a low voice in Yan Zhijin's ear: "Your father didn't mean that. He knew you were missing, so he sat in the living room and checked with Zhichen every 10 minutes. , if it wasn't for Zhichen's persuasion, he might go to the school to find you in person."

"I know."

Yan Zhijin also knew that Shen Chengfeng cared about him.

But when he heard Shen Chengfeng's questioning tone, he didn't want to speak.

Even though he knew that Shen Chengfeng had only been in the army for a long time, he was used to speaking concisely and without any threat.

For a long time, he and Shen Chengfeng have maintained such a lukewarm state of wrangling. Both sides know that the other party doesn't hate themselves, but neither of them is willing to bow their heads first.

"What happened tonight? There was an accident in the experiment, or...the animals?" Yan Tingxue looked at his crumpled clothes and asked.

"That's right..." Yan Zhijin curled up his fingers, and pinched the gemstone on the ring fiercely.

He unconsciously touched the glands on the back of his neck, where the snake's body temperature seemed to be much lower than that of ordinary people.

Yan Tingxue's eyes followed his movements, falling on the small scar on the back of his neck, her eyes flickered, but she didn't ask.

He picked a few topics to ask, Yan Zhijin answered very perfunctorily, obviously there was something he didn't want to tell him, and he didn't bother.

He didn't talk much, and most of the time, he just held Yan Zhijin's hand and whispered some academic things that both of them could understand.

Yan Zhijin and Yan Tingxue have been closer since childhood.

He looks very similar to Yan Tingxue, but his eyebrows are more heroic, he is taller, and he has Shen Chengfeng's cold and stern temperament on his body.

The two have similar personalities, taciturn, cold and unapproachable at first glance, but Yan Tingxue is much gentler than him after all.

He also does not speak, Yan Tingxue is like a light and fragile snowflake that melts in the palm of his hand, which makes people feel distressed, while he is like a big hexagonal ice flower, each corner has been sharpened and sharp, smashing it makes people's head open valve.

But Yan Tingxue still liked him and regarded him as his heir.

When he and his brothers were still infants, Yan Tingxue could tell the difference in him at a glance, and asked him to give his last name.As he grew older, he showed an extraordinary interest in reading and the natural world. Yan Tingxue was even more certain that this was the child most similar to him.

Yan Tingxue's main research is pheromone, and there are many overlaps with Yan Zhijin's main field, and sometimes the two of them will chat about the latest progress.Compared with father and son, the two are often more like friends.

"Your newly bred rabbit..." Yan Tingxue had a lot of meaning.

Yan Zhijin listened carefully to his words.

"It's really powerful, not afraid of strangers at all." Yan Tingxue stroked the rabbit's ears through the cage, "I haven't seen this kind of animal at home for a long time. If Shen Chengfeng sees it, he should like it very much."

Yan Zhijin bowed his head and remained silent.

He got close to Yan Tingxue, of course because they had a common topic, but more importantly, Yan Tingxue was more easy-going, unlike Shen Chengfeng, who acted vigorously and with a tough tone, and could scare a child to tears standing up.

Especially the small animals, none of them dared to approach him.Who would have thought that he actually likes small animals, especially soft little white rabbits.Every time I can only watch from a distance, it is very pitiful.

For so many years, only Yan Tingxue was not afraid of his pheromones.

Yan Zhijin is probably also a small animal that he likes, but is also isolated by the pheromones that he kills.

In a sense, Benjamin was right. He bred these rabbits to give those who love animals but are rejected by animals a chance to get close to cute animals.

"In the future, a large number of them will be cultivated, can I give one to your dad?" Yan Tingxue withdrew his hand, meaning something.

It was meant for him.

But Yan Zhijin didn't say anything.

He and Shen Chengfeng had a temper tantrum just now, so it's not appropriate to give this now.

Yan Zhijin relaxed a lot in front of Yan Tingxue, his brows and eyes were stretched, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Recently - do you have an alpha you like?" Yan Tingxue asked tentatively.

Yan Zhijin's softened expression instantly changed back to his usual indifference.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head sullenly.

"Are you going to hold an international conference recently?" Yan Tingxue paused, and then asked, "Xiao An is going too?"

"How do you know?" Yan Zhijin asked coldly, "He contacted you?"

"I met some time ago," Yan Tingxue said hesitantly, "I remember you two had a good relationship before?"

"Generally, I haven't contacted you for a long time." Yan Zhijin said.

Yan Tingxue said "Oh" without asking further.

"I'll take a shower first." Yan Zhijin stood up suddenly.

Yan Tingxue nodded and watched him upstairs worriedly.

Yan Zhijin turned on the shower and got into the water.

In addition to the bruises, there were other marks on his body that belonged to snakes.Although he also felt it before, but because the situation was too tense, he didn't have time to deal with these things in an orderly manner.

Only now did he realize that the snake really didn't do anything good.There were finger prints pinched out on his body, or small dark red and purple marks, and there were dried liquid in some places.

He forced himself to focus on the pattern of the shower curtain so he didn't punch the wall.

When he came downstairs after taking a shower, the dishes were already ready, and his younger brother Shen Zhiyu also went downstairs at some point, lying on the sofa and teasing the rabbit with Shen Zhichen.

He's wearing furry bear pajamas and has a little tail on his back, making it look like one furry is teasing the other.

Shen Chengfeng and Yan Tingxue stood side by side, talking in a low voice.While he was talking, he took off his apron and aimed at the rabbit while undoing it, the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

The light shrouding them is soft and warm, and there is a reassuring atmosphere that belongs to their own home.

"Done the wash?" Yan Tingxue noticed him first, and spoke gently.

"Brother, have you finished washing?" Shen Zhiyu also greeted him with a smile.

He looks like Shen Chengfeng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is just an omega, looking lively and cute.

When Shen Chengfeng saw him coming down, he restrained his smile and tried his best to maintain the image of a strict father.

It's just that he was still looking at the rabbit, with the corners of his mouth smugly curled up while watching.

Yan Zhijin pursed her lips, pretending not to see his expression, walked up to Shen Zhiyu, and greeted him.

Shen Chengfeng watched him and Shen Zhiyu chat with each other, from 1 minute to 3 minutes, and then extended to 5 minutes.

He stood by, and Yan Zhijin didn't look at him or talk to him.

The rabbit is also on the sofa, no one mentions it.

A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, he coughed, and said majestically, "Did you finish washing?"

Yan Zhijin glanced at him, then turned his attention back to Shen Zhiyu.

Shen Zhiyu laughed loudly: "Dad, your reaction is too slow. It's been almost 5 minutes. Why are you still talking about taking a bath? We've already talked about Lalaiye."

Shen Chengfeng touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

But his father's deterrence cannot be missed, he still said seriously: "I am rigorous."

"Oh!"

Shen Zhiyu happily continued chatting with Yan Zhijin.

Shen Chengfeng's aura was low.

Shen Zhiyu rolled his eyes, suddenly pointed to the rabbit on the sofa, and asked loudly, "Brother, is this rabbit yours? Do you want to take it home?"

Yan Zhijin looked at Shen Zhichen, and then glanced at Shen Chengfeng from the corner of his eye.

In fact, he had already seen that Shen Zhichen had told Shen Chengfeng about the rabbit, but they wanted to hear him speak out on his own initiative.

He nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Zhiyu was a little dumbfounded.

Shen Zhichen's eyes froze.

Yan Tingxue sighed indistinctly.

Shen Chengfeng's eyes were frighteningly wide, and the muscles on his arms were even more frightening.

Yan Zhijin said leisurely: "I just took it out of the laboratory, and I'm going to take it back to raise. What, you like it? Want me to bring one for you?"

"No, no, no need," Shen Zhiyu waved his hands repeatedly, glanced nervously at Shen Chengfeng's expression, pulled him aside, and asked, "You really want to raise it yourself?"

"Yes. Why?" Yan Zhijin answered affirmatively.

"You don't always only raise snakes, how did you raise rabbits?"

"We grow everything in the lab."

"But... But this rabbit is so close and courageous, it should be trained for special people, such as some people who can scare small animals into fainting." Shen Zhiyu hinted frantically.

Yan Zhijin took a deep look at Shen Chengfeng, but still said, "Not necessarily."

"...So you really raised it for yourself?" Shen Zhiyu asked in disbelief.

Yan Zhijin remained silent.

"Is it fake?" Shen Zhiyu said angrily.

Yan Zhijin crossed his arms and seemed to be looking at Shen Zhiyu, but in fact he was looking at Shen Chengfeng from the corner of his eye.

"I'll go and have a look at the pot." Shen Chengfeng walked towards the kitchen with heavy steps and a lonely back, like a vicissitudes old wolf.

"...Isn't your food out of the pot?" Shen Zhiyu wailed while clutching his forehead.

Shen Chengfeng returned to the kitchen, Shen Zhiyu pulled Yan Zhijin unwillingly, and continued to ask, "Did you bring it for Dad?"

Yan Zhijin was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell him?"

"He already knew."

"What you said is the same as what my brother said!" Shen Zhiyu patted his thigh, "He just showed off for a long time, and he was waiting for you to say it in person. I think he might take the rabbit to the military camp for a meeting tomorrow."

"...I can't say it." Yan Zhijin spit out a few words for a long time.

He knew that Shen Chengfeng cared about him, knew that he was looking forward to it, and liked his gift very much. This gift was indeed carefully prepared by him for a long time.

However, expressing his love frankly and proactively always made him feel hot on the face.

He couldn't speak.

Shen Zhiyu: "...Then let me help you."

"Do not."

Yan Tingxue put the rabbit back into the cage, and said softly, "Then you take the rabbit back."

Yan Zhijin's eyes moved slightly.

He unconsciously took a step forward, trying to stop Yan Tingxue.

Yan Tingxue's hands did not hesitate at all: "This is yours, you should take it back."
