Shi Du is Shi Yi’s second elder brother, and was also borne by Shi Yuan’s mother. As an alpha, he is gentler than Shi Yuan, but Shi Yi knows that’s just on the surface. He’s even more terrifying, and is the kind of person to hide a knife in his smile.
Shi Yi frowned, and called Shu Wen first, but no one answered.
Shu Wen’s body is basically broken, and it’s normal for him to get sick or catch a cold. It’s just that it’s too strange for him to be suddenly sick at this juncture. He just came out of Lu Yunye’s house, and within half a day of arriving at Feiyi, Shi Du called.
It’s like someone is watching him secretly.
Despite his bad premonition, Shi Yi could not leave Shu Wen as is. He hurriedly wrapped up his remaining work, and drove to Shi’s house by himself.
Compared with Lu Yunye’s garden villa, Shi’s home is much colder. The nearby groves were left untouched and gradually blocked the sun. Shi Jinpeng has a strong sense of territory, so none of the previously hired housekeepers managed to stay. Shu Wen usually helped take care of the gardens, but after he fell ill, the space gradually fell into disuse.
Shu Wen managed to escape several times before, but was always brought back. Since then, a power grid was installed on the fence of his house, making it even eerier from the outside.
Shi Yi parked the car outside the courtyard and walked straight in. Shi Jinpeng sat in the living room with a gloomy face, staring straight at him without saying a word.
When Shi Yuan heard the commotion and came down from upstairs, he yelled at him, “You still have the face to come back! Why don’t you hurry up and apologize to father for making trouble!”
“Where is my dad?” Shi Yi’s tone was cold.
As if Shi Yuan had finally caught his weakness, he grinned, “Dead.”
Shi Yi walked up to Shi Yuan expressionlessly, and punched him in the face!
Even though the size difference between omega and alpha was huge, Shi Yuan still staggered back from the punch, unable to react for a while.
“You little bastard, how dare you hit me!” Shi Yuan roared, and his alpha pheromones poured out furiously.
Shi Yi frowned and took a half step back, suddenly realizing that he hadn’t been affected much. The glands at the back of his neck were slightly hot, and the cedar-flavored pheromone belonging to Lu Yunye lightly wrapped him up, blocking the pheromones of foreign alphas.
That temporary mark hasn’t expired yet. Shi Yi was secretly surprised, he didn’t expect the mark of an S-level alpha to be so long-lasting, surrounding him like an oath of sovereignty.
Taking advantage of Shi Yuan’s shock, Shi Yi raised his long legs and kicked him aside.
“Shi Yi! You’re crazy!” Shi Jinpeng scolded, “Quickly apologize to your brother!”
“What about him locking me up in Feng Muqing’s box, who’s apologizing to me? Shi Yi’s voice was still calm, and his anger could only be seen from his faintly red eyes.
“Brother, Xiao Yi has just come back. Why are you purposely stimulating him with your words?” Seeing the farce about to end, the second brother of the Shi family leisurely opened the study door and walked out.
Shi Du walked to Shi Yi’s side and pulled him away, “Come on, come see your dad first.”
Shi Yi gave him a cold look, shook off Shi Du’s hand, and went upstairs.
The door of Shu Wen’s room was tightly closed, impenetrable to light. After entering, he found that the curtains were not even open.
Shi Yi was afraid that the sun would irritate him, so he turned on the soft night light. Shu Wen’s face was extremely pale, and his exposed skin was covered with green and red marks.
“Dad, did Shi Jinpeng… again….” Shi Yi clenched his fists, wishing he could tear the alphas downstairs into pieces.
“It’s because I was in heat, and didn’t control my pheromones.” Shu Wen’s lips were gray and chapped, “Xiao Yi, you’ve worked hard these few days.”
After being imprisoned Shu Wen hasn’t asked about outside affairs for a long time. Knowing his child is wronged outside but being unable to help is his biggest sorrow as a parent.
“I… I’m fine.” Shi Yi blinked his eyes. “I tried a very useful nutritional supplement. It’s sweet, and I’ll buy it for you to taste later.”
He picked up the cotton swab on the table, moistened it and moistened Shu Wen’s lips, and a touch of wetness gradually spread from the corners of his eyes.
“En,” Shu Wen touched Shi Yi’s cheek. “Shi Jinpeng still needs my help getting through his susceptible periods, and won’t do anything to me yet. Just do whatever you want, don’t worry about me.”
He gave birth to Shi Yi when his glands had just matured at the age of eighteen, and has been entangled with Shi Jinpeng for more than 20 years. No matter how he felt, his body has long been familiar with the other party.
The higher the differentiation level, the more intense the alpha’s reaction during the susceptible period. To put it bluntly, the susceptible period is a stress reaction when alphas don’t get enough attention from their partners.
Couples with a harmonious relationship will basically not encounter this problem.
“I understand, dad,” Shi Yi held his hand. “Give me a little more time.”
“I’ll take you to wash off the marks. Let’s find a place to live without being disturbed by Shi Jinpeng.”
Shi Yi had already calmed down when he went back downstairs. The redness in his eyes was completely hidden, and he returned to that cold look again.
Shi Yuan was lying on the sofa in the living room and applying an ice pack. When he saw him coming over, he glared fiercely a few times, as if he was afraid of the mark on the back of his neck.
“Xiao Yi, your elder brother can’t speak, no need to lower yourself to his level.” Shi Du smiled and poured him a cup of tea. “Come on, moisten your throat first.”
“No need.” Shi Yi turned around and left. “I will come back to see dad again.”
“Xiao Yi, did Lu Yunye give you that mark on your body?” Shi Du stopped him. “You didn’t tell your family about such a big thing.”
“The family tradition surnamed Lu is very conservative. You make a big deal of it and marry into the Lu family, so you can help us tide over some difficulties.” Shi Jinpeng spoke in a low voice, with dark oppression.
The sudden downfall of the Feng family made him see the power of public opinion. The Lu family has always been upright and strict. They definitely don’t want the matter of Lu Yunye marking an omega to ferment and ruin the family name.
“If it’s difficult for you, you can ask your second brother to help you.” Shi Jinpeng continued.
“That’s right, Xiao Yi, we promise to do it in a leak-proof way, so that the Lu family can’t find the tricks.” Shi Du laughed twice, but under his glasses, his eyes did not have any emotions.
Although Shi Du and Shi Yuan both live in the same house, they have separated their shares a long time ago, and the properties under their names are comparable. Shi Yuan’s incident completely screwed up Shi Yi’s marriage with Feng Muqing, and also caused him to lose his father’s confidence in him. If he manages to successfully send Shi Yi into the Lu family, he might be able to take the opportunity to get some benefits.
“Father, have you considered my feelings when you arranged my marriage those other times?” Shi Yi stood still, facing his alpha father.
“How you, as an omega, feel?” Shi Jinpeng sneered as if he had heard a big joke. “Omegas are just subsidiaries of alpha. No matter how much wealth you have, after marriage, it all belongs to your husband.”
“Are your thoughts important?”
“I won’t cooperate, you can figure things on your own.” Shi Yi said coldly, and left without looking back.
Shi Jinpeng’s roar came from behind: “A useless omega, why do you think the Shi family raised you for so many years?”
“Even if I have to break your legs, I will send you to the Lu family!”
Scum family 😠
