Chapter 54 – I Will Help You With My Hands
“What’s the meaning of reserved? Can you eat that thing?*” Li Xiangxin thought Li Rong was talking about An Ji, so she rolled her eyes and said indignantly, “Our An Ji-gege is using his video to call on omegas to break through social prejudices and their own limitations.”
[*T/N: “What’s the meaning of ____? Can you eat that thing?” You often see this sentence pattern in media and it’s used to express that the ____ concept in question is meaningless to the speaker if it can’t do something practical like fill up one’s belly.]
“An Ji-gege?” Li Rong narrowed his eyes unhappily. “You were just calling him sister-in-law.”
Li Xiangxin replied, “Oh, I now declare that you are not worthy of him.”
“Very good,” Li Rong laughed instead of being angry, “Your interstellar travel this year is ruined.”
Li Xiangxin: “…”

Backed into a corner like his, the little princess called out “sister-in-law” in humiliation. Only then did Li Rong let her off the hook.
An Ji came to his house for afternoon tea. Li Rong was even more nervous than the two ladies.
The afternoon tea was arranged in a sunny greenhouse, and the food and decorations were all arranged by the host. Li Rong followed Liao Yunyan around like a little tail, sometimes shuffling the flower arrangements around, sometimes adjusting the tablecloth, and he even dropped the dessert made by Li Xiangxin on the ground.
Liao Yunyan, who could no longer bear it, kicked him out: “Don’t come any closer, get out, and go pick him up!”
Before leaving, Li Rong was still worried and he told the little princess, ”Li Xiangxin, remember, when An Ji comes later, don’t talk nonsense, don’t call him sister-in-law, and don’t look at him like a fangirl!” While Li Xiangxin hissed up a storm at him, he slipped out of the palace.
At the An family’s residence, An Ji walked of the door and saw Li Rong right away. He was standing there and waving at him.

The temperature was still high in August. Li Rong was standing under the shade of a tree while dressed in a suit. When he saw An Ji come out of the house, he immediately smiled widely. His white teeth flashed in the sun.
An Ji couldn’t help but speed up his pace. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Li Rong opened the car door. “It’s okay, I just got here too.”
The car drove slowly towards the palace. The space inside the car was not narrow, but in the sealed environment, An Ji could not help but smell a hint of fir wood, mixed with the refreshing grapefruit representing the summer atmosphere. It was Li Rong’s pheromones, which made him feel at ease.
An Ji leaned over and took a few sniffs without making a sound, with a vigilant look like a cat stealing fish.
However, after smelling the pleasant scent, he immediately narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, as if anyone could scratch his belly.
An Ji smelled Li Rong’s pheromones. He looked contented and satisfied with the scent…
Upon realizing this, Li Rong felt something wrong with himself. His heartbeat was completely out of his control. It felt like his heart would beat out of his chest.
What does he want to do? Could it be that he likes me? Does my pheromones make him like me? If I let him smell my pheromones every day, will he agree to be with me?
A mess of thoughts whirled through his head. Li Rong’s breathing became a bit shallow and his face flushed abnormally.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” An Ji suddenly asked.
“No,” Li Rong’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he explained, “I just feel a little dizzy. It might be too hot.”
“Is that so?” An Ji seemed a little disappointed, “I thought your pheromone disorder was acting up again.”
“Ah?” Li Rong didn’t react for a while.

“I thought I could treat you.” An Ji said. At this moment, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his elegant white neck was immersed in the collar of his shirt, leaving an ambiguous shadow that made people fantasize.
Treatment?
Did An Ji mean what Li Rong thought he meant? Was he going to do something similar to what he did in the garden that night?
Li Rong’s Adam’s apple rolled heavily and his gaze gradually darkened.
“I want you to give me treatment.” Li Rong heard himself say.
An Ji said, “But let’s not kiss this time, all right? We have to meet your family later and it’s not polite to have swollen lips for that.”
Li Rong lowered his eyes, with disappointment that he himself didn’t realize, he said, “Okay…”
An Ji said, “This time I’ll help you with my hands.”
With hands?
With hands!
Was he going to use his hands like that?
Li Rong’s mind turned blank in an instant and his emotions went on a volatile roller coaster ride. It took him several minutes to come back to his senses. He stuttered out, “Ah… this… that… isn’t that… isn’t that going too fast?”
An Ji asked him, “You don’t want to?”
“No, no, I don’t mean that!” Li Rong denied and shook his head like a rattle. “I didn’t say I don’t want to!”
Then what was the reason? An Ji thought about it for a moment and then said, “I will be careful and won’t dirty your clothes.”
Li Rong: “!!!”
