T/N: Thanks again to Lolilu, this time we get 1x more release for SABL this week.
My glands have developed? What does he mean? Shi Yi was confused. Didn’t his glands stop developing many years ago?
“It’s just… look here,” the doctor pointed to a circle the size of a peach pit in the picture. “This is your gland. An ordinary person’s gland is about the size of an egg.”
Shi Yi nodded. He knew that his glands were very small and buried very deep.
“But here,” the doctor pointed to the shiny film on the outer layer. “These are newborn cells, and the metabolic activity of your glands has suddenly increased.”
“Then this is… what is the reason for this, it’s not that I…”
Shi Yi stammered and couldn’t believe his eyes.
“I’ve only seen this kind of situation in textbooks.” The doctor smiled and shook his head. “I’ve never encountered a real-life case in more than 20 years of practicing medicine.”
“But the possibility does exist.” The doctor turned to look at Lu Yunye even though he wore a pheromone isolation sticker, and couldn’t tell his pheromones. “Your differentiation level should not be low.”
“He’s S-level…” Shi Yi felt like he was in a dream. “Is it because…”
The doctor’s expression changed. Even in a big city like theirs, there are no more than twenty S-level alphas. But having experienced big storms before, he managed to calm down. “Yes, intercourse or intimate contact will have a stimulating effect on your glands.”
And… he swallowed the following words – seeing such obvious secondary development after a short time, the match between them must be very high, and they may even be a perfect match.
It’s just that when he checked Shi Yi’s gland, he didn’t see an alpha’s mark on it. Having some understanding of Shi Yi’s family situation, but gaining a top-level alpha partner, along with Shi Yi’s attitude, there must be many secrets between them that cannot be made public.
It is inappropriate for him to say such words as perfect matching.
“Then what should I do?” Shi Yi asked, his voice trembling a little.
Although a slim possibility had always existed, this is a miracle compared to the grievances he has suffered over the years.
“Theoretically, you can ignore it,” the doctor explained. “I’ll just prescribe you some medicines to relieve pain and reduce fever.”
“A secondary developmental period after adulthood is quite similar to the estrus period in many ways. What you need is your alpha’s company.”
“By the way, the development of glands is the same as a growing child. You should also pay attention to exercise and nutrition.”
For omega, the effect of top-level alpha pheromones exceeds most drugs, which is why their pheromones and glandular differentiation agents are so expensive on the black market.
Shi Yi pursed his lower lip lightly. “I see.”
“How long will it take to fully mature?” Lu Yunye’s expression remained unchanged.
“It’s hard to say,” the doctor furrowed his brows. “Shi Yi’s glands stopped developing when he was ten years old, and the size is only half of normal people… The process of re-development is very random. It can be anywhere from months or even years.”
On the way back, both of them chose to remain silent. Shi Yi didn’t expect his glands to develop again, and that it would be due to alpha pheromones. The relationship between him and Lu Yunye is not a normal partnership. With that contract in place, he cannot think wishfully for his own selfishness.
The car drove into the basement of the villa. When getting out of the car, Lu Yunye hesitated, “You…”
“This is my own problem,” Shi Yi said quickly. “Our contract will not be affected by this.”
So Lu Yunye swallowed his words. Shi Yi’s footsteps were a little rushed, so he fell behind by half a step, always paying attention to the situation of the little omega.
It wasn’t until dinner time, after taking the new fever medicine, that Shi Yi’s face finally looked better, and his temperature dropped to a normal level. The rare emotions on his face faded, and the usual indifference and alienation returned to his eyes.
Shi Yi retreated to his safe zone, and covered himself with that light and delicate shell, but… it wasn’t natural enough.
Lu Yunye saw him eat two egg tarts and a piece of osmanthus cake with a normal expression, and was going to pick up honey muffins, so he grabbed the edge of the plate first and dragged the muffins away.
Shi Yi’s chopsticks grasped air, and he raised his eyebrows to look at him full of doubt and dissatisfaction.
“Your sweets tonight have reached the limit,” Lu Yunye said unshakably. “You can’t have more.”
“Can you stop watching me all the time?” Shi Yi finally couldn’t help it.
“As your alpha, I am obliged to help the secondary development of your glands to the best of my ability,” Lu Yunye said frankly. “This includes supervising your nutrition and exercise.”
Shi Yi raised his head in disbelief and shock – this person is using his glands as an excuse to satisfy his own bad taste!
“No need for exercising now,” Lu Yunye continued as if he didn’t notice his gaze. “I’ll give you an exercise schedule when you fully recover.”
“I refuse.” Shi Yi said.
“Then no more daily dessert.” Lu Yunye knew what he would say.
Shi Yi: …
Between sweets and sports, he can only choose to give in.
Lu Yunye saw a little aggrieved expression appearing on his always cold and calm face, and couldn’t help but curl his lips. This omega is cuter.
After coaxing someone into an unequal agreement, Lu Yunye was in a good mood, and continued, “A few weekends later, a few friends of mine made an appointment on Qingxi Mountain to play for a few days.”
Lu Yunye had told him about this before, so Shi Yi had no objection. It’ll be nice to get some fresh air after recovering.
Qingxi Mountain is a summer resort built for young people in recent years. There are various activities such as bars, theaters, and small playgrounds on the top of the mountain. Throughout are charming homestays halfway, including some Dai Xing’s family invested in that have some of the best sunrise watching spots.
Lu Yunye thought of the magnificent sea of clouds at sunrise that Dai Xing had described to him, and guessed that Shi Yi would like it. “We can see the sunrise there.”
“Okay,” Shi Yi nodded, unavoidably looking forward to it.
In the next few working days, Lu Yunye went to the company, while Shi Yi stayed at home to recuperate.
After his body returned to normal, he tried the treadmill, and was out of breath before he could even run three kilometers.
The gym is on the third floor, and he rarely comes up. Shi Yi got off the treadmill and took a stroll to look at all the equipment., which were all set according to Lu Yunye’s fitness. The slope of the treadmill was too steep, the weights were too heavy, and even the horizontal bar was too high.
In the end, he stopped in front of a barbell, because this seemed the easiest among all kinds of anaerobic equipment.
Just push it up.
Shi Yi lay down eagerly, supported the iron bar with both hands and lifted it up, but the barbell did not move at all.
Could it be that he did something wrong? He stood up and checked inside and out, then lay down and pushed again, his face was a bit grim, but it still didn’t move.
It should be broken, Shi Yi came to a conclusion in his heart, and was about to stand up when he suddenly heard someone at the door saying, “What are you doing?”
It’s Lu Yunye! Lu Yunye leaves work so early?
Shi Yi’s whole body was already weak from pushing, so he just lay down again awkwardly after trying.
In just a few breaths, Lu Yunye walked up to him. Shi Yi lay flat and looked up at him. He could only see his upper body at a strange angle.
“You can’t push this, it’s easy to strain yourself.” Lu Yunye picked up the barbell with one hand and put it back on the stand, then picked another one and brought it over, “Try this.”
“I originally wanted to run and relax,” Shi Yi stood up unnaturally.
Lu Yunye glanced at the record on the treadmill: “Run… 2.89 kilometers?”
Shi Yi: …
He had no choice but to change the topic, “Why did you come back so early today?”
Lu Yunye: “We’re going to Qingxi Mountain, did you forget?”
“Today?” Shi Yi was a little surprised. If they left now, they would have to stay overnight.
“Yes, stay for two nights and come back on Sunday.” Lu Yunye said.
“Okay.” Shi Yi finally turned his head to face him, and his eyes suddenly paused, “Your clothes, you…”
“Is it familiar?” Lu Yunye’s lips raised after he finally realized it. “You designed it.”
“So fast?” Shi Yi was a little surprised. Although the speed was a bit shocking, his eyes were already glued to Lu Yunye…’s clothes.
The effect of the clothes was even better than he expected.
This kind of situation is rare. Designers always have a bias towards perfection when designing, and there will always be more or less flaws in the actual delivery.
Shi Yi used to feel that the edges and corners of the shoulders were made too sharp, but because he couldn’t figure out a better replacement, he had to give up. Unexpectedly, Lu Yunye had broad shoulders and a broad back, a tall figure with a straight spine, and those edges and corners perfectly blended with his own aura.
“This can actually be adjusted,” Shi Yi involuntarily came behind Lu Yunye. There was an inconspicuous drawstring design at the waist of the windbreaker. If it was tightened a little, the alpha’s powerful waist could be seen.
“This way…” Shi Yi fiddled with it from the back for a while, then turned to the front, smoothed out the last crease, and was finally satisfied.
Of course he was happy that his work was perfectly presented, and subconsciously said, “It would be great if all alpha customers could have a figure like yours.”
“Do you like it?” A deep voice came from the top of his head, drawing listeners in.
Shi Yi raised his head subconsciously, only to realize that he was almost lying in Lu Yunye’s arms. He was too tall, and pulling the hem of Lu Yunye’s windbreaker seemed strange no matter how he looked.
What a perfect model, it would be great if he was made of wood.
He could bring it back to the design department for everyone to study.
“Of course I like the clothes I designed myself.” Shi Yi looked around and said to him, “You wear it very well, so it’s not a waste.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Yunye said.
“You’re going to wear a formal suit?” Shi Yi’s eyes widened. Not to mention that it’s too hot to wear a suit as the temperature hasn’t dropped… Does Lu Yunye usually wear a full formal suit to these things?
Lu Yunye tilted his head, seemingly puzzled, “Can’t I?”
Duck talking to goose. 😹
