T/N: I knew this chapter was long, but didn’t expect it to be 7.4k words — aka 5 releases long! It’ll carry us through the extra releases into the week’s end. 😱
“…Now?” Shi Yi looked up, and confirmed he wasn’t having auditory hallucinations.
Lu Yunye had no expression on his face, as if his question was a perfectly logical thing.
To be honest, even though Shi Yi could only see part of his chest through the gaping bathrobe loosely fastened around his waist, he could tell that Lu Yunye’s body proportions are very good. The dim and ambiguous light of the small table lamp outlined the sharp muscle contours, and each abdominal muscle is neatly arranged like an exquisite sculpture.
This is not an assembly line product from purposeful gym exercises, but the result of accumulated practice. Lu Yunye maintained an exercise routine after retiring from the army, so his body lines are smooth and his muscles are full of strength.
Even though Shi Yi didn’t have much feeling for alpha pheromones, he instinctively had a good impression of his body.
The two sides looked at each other, and Shi Yi was the first to give in.
Seeming to give up resistance, he said, “I’ll get the measuring tape.”
When he retrieved the measuring tape, Lu Yunye had already taken off his bathrobe. Shi Yi subconsciously turned his gaze away, and squatted down in front of Lu Yunye.
Lu Yunye’s waist is thin and strong, without a trace of fat. Shi Yi sighed secretly in his heart – alphas truly have an innate advantage, unlike him, no matter how hard he practices, his body is still soft.
The strength of an alpha’s abdomen determines their reproductive capacity, while an omega’s abdomen is only responsible for conception.
Shi Yi measured Lu Yunye’s waist, hips, and thighs. He forced his eyes not to look in the middle, quickly recorded the measurement data on the tablet, and created a separate folder for Lu Yunye.
After finishing everything, Shi Yi put away the measuring tape and breathed a sigh of relief.
“All done?” Lu Yunye asked.
“Yeah.” Shi Yi put away his things, lifted the quilt, put away his phone, and huddled into a small ball under the quilt.
As if he was bullied.
Lu Yunye put on his nightgown slowly and saw that Shi Yi had covered most of his face with the quilt, and the tips of his protruding ears were glowing red.
He lay down on the bed, rolled over and embraced his omega. As expected, he felt Shi Yi trembling in his arms.
Because of Shi Yi’s larger frame and slender build, he is a little uncomfortable to hold. Lu Yunye leaned closer to his neck, and after getting closer, he smelled the fresh fruity fragrance he craved.
Pheromones often change with the owner’s mood. When angry, aggressive pheromones are released. When aroused, pheromones will have a corresponding seductive, or aphrodisiac effect.
Even if someone deliberately controls it, some pheromones will still be released due to the natural cellular respiration of the glands. Lu Yunye carefully caught the faint trace, feeling that the smell of pheromone seemed to be a little sweeter than before.
Taking a deep breath, the superficial calm he maintained no longer existed. It was as if a fire burned in his body, and the desire surging in his eyes was deep and dark. Fortunately, Shi Yi faced the other direction and didn’t notice.
His joke was really bad. It was not in line with his usual character, personality, or upbringing.
Even if that person wasn’t Shi Yi, he could be accused of sexual harassment.
This kind of thing would never have happened before, but for a moment, his thoughts seemed out of control, and he hoped that Shi Yi would touch him.
This feeling is similar to skin hunger. He wants to touch his flesh, hug him, and have the other person’s cool palms pass over his skin.
Lu Yunye tried to control this desire, but all his rationality disappeared the moment he saw Shi Yi.
He wants this omega.
Lu Yunye furrowed his brows irritably, and his thoughts tugged back and forth amidst shame and anxiety, making his scalp tingle. After a lot of patience, he still got out of bed to take the suppressive drugs in the drawer, then closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
———-
Early the next morning, the Lu family’s military license plate was parked at the Feiyi Building.
Unlike Yunye Building, Feiyi does not have a dedicated VIP channel. After getting out of the car, the group attracted a lot of onlookers.
The Lu family rarely appears in public places, and many onlookers raised their phones to take pictures.
Shi Yi was waiting in the reception hall on the first floor, only to see a few tall and burly bodyguards enter first, and the front lobby instantly became crowded. Xiao Ting and her girlfriends walked in the middle, and Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunye followed at the end.
“Oh, Xiao Yi has lost weight.” Xiao Ting stepped forward and warmly held Shi Yi’s hand. “You must tell mom if you don’t eat well at home.”
“No, no, the food made by the nanny is delicious,” Shi Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The last time they met was two weeks ago, how can he lose or gain weight that quickly?
“All children nowadays are like this. They think that being slim is good.” Someone in the group said.
“Nutrition must also be added, or you will have cramps when you get pregnant later.”
“Yes, yes.” Someone asked Shi Yi in a low voice, “When is Xiao Yi going to have a child?”
“Uh…” Shi Yi was at a loss for words, and looked at Lu Yunye for help, feeling his cheeks swell with heat.
“Mother, let’s go upstairs first.” Lu Yunye came to the front. “Standing here distracts people from doing their jobs.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Xiao Ting suddenly realized, and pulled her girlfriends to the side. “Let’s go, let’s go up to talk about it.”
Apart from the sales outlet, there is no public tailoring center in headquarters. There is only one tailoring room for designers to discuss and finalize designs. Usually, all kinds of fabrics are piled up in a mess, and various mannequins are thrown on the floor.
Fang Huiyi had a few employees from the design department do some urgent cleaning up, and managed to free up a small space.
Seeing a group of people come out of the elevator in a mighty manner, a junior sister from the design department stuck out her tongue. “Why is the boss’s face so red!”
As soon as she said it, everyone noticed that Shi Yi’s face was stained with a thin layer of pink. He looked completely different from the boss who usually looked like an iceberg.
According to what was agreed in advance, one designer is in charge of two people. Lu Yunqing was too tall, so the omega who was measuring her clothes blushed and had to stand on tiptoe to straighten the measuring tape.
“Ah, little sister, I’ll do it myself.” Lu Yunqing caught the little girl who had fallen into her arms, and pressed the measuring stick on top of her head with one hand, “Measure it.”
The designer thanked her again and again. Lu Yunqing’s figure is so good that people dare not look at her directly.
There have never been so many people in the design department. Fang Huiyi was a little crazy. Walking around the crowd, when he saw Lu Yunye standing in the corner, he couldn’t help winking at Shi Yi, “There is no one in charge of your husband!”
Lu Yunye looked away calmly, as if he had really been forgotten, not saying that the designer in charge of him was still busy. Seeing Shi Yi walking over with a tape measure, he said helplessly, “Let me help you.”
In the company, Shi Yi seemed to put on that shell again – stern, refined, and without warmth.
Lu Yunye stretched out his arm and asked the omega to measure his arm. When Shi Yi was working, he was crisp and quick, and the tool was like a part of his body as he worked.
“What style do you want?” Shi Yi asked.
“What do you think?” Lu Yunye asked back.
Shi Yi pondered for a while, “You have broad shoulders, and can support a military style. We can use harder fabric to make your figure appear straight.”
Lu Yunye: “Sure.”
Walking around him, Shi Yi gradually became excited. No matter what, Lu Yunye is an excellent model. As an alpha, his body proportions are perfect, and he is a clothes hanger that all designers love.
So much so that Shi Yi wanted to reproduce his proportions into a mannequin, and put it in the design department for others to learn from.
Hehehe, Shi Yi likes LYY’s body. 😏
