Anxious…
This word brought back some bad memories from last night.
Humming vaguely, Shi Yi hurried into the bathroom. He wiped his face with cold water several times before his temperature finally came down.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he had been marked. Everything was foreign to him, including the estrus period that Lu Yunye mentioned.
Estrus. This term is quite normal for other alpha and omega pairs, but it was difficult for Shi Yi to accept something like that from the bottom of his heart.
He still remembers how, when he was a child, Shu Wen howled in pain during his estrus. Every time his dad, a gentle and peaceful person, went through estrus, it was as if he was undergoing torture. Each time, over the course of just a few days, his whole body would become emaciated.
At that time, Shi Jinpeng’s career was on the rise, and he didn’t care about the omega at home. Shu Wen used countless inhibitors to the point he developed resistance, so whenever estrus came, he could only resist with his own body.
Omegas that cannot be appeased during estrus often have serious psychological problems. Shu Wen has been suffering from heart arrhythmia and insomnia for the past few years, and will shiver in pain during estrus. Even alpha pheromones are unable to soothe him.
So when his gland defect was detected, Shi Yi calmly accepted it. Although it’s hard for him to secrete pheromones like a normal omega, it also lets him avoid the trouble of being in estrus. But this time…
His whole body was out of control. Having no prior experience in dealing with estrus, all he knew was that his mouth was dry, his throat was parched, and he wanted to drink water. He didn’t even notice his body’s desire for a partner.
Lu Yunye had already packed up after he returned to the bedroom. He pointed to a paper bag next to him: “I don’t have many spare clothes here, you can wear this first.”
“Okay.” Shi Yi opened the bag. His own clothes can’t be worn anymore, and his shirt was almost torn into pieces.
There were some casual clothes inside the paper bag. He opened it to find a white t-shirt with a huge dog’s head printed on the front.
? Is Lu Yunye’s taste so wild in private?
However, President Lu’s face didn’t change. His cold expression seemed to imply there was nothing wrong with the president of a large company wearing a puppy head t-shirt in private.
After putting on the t-shirt and shorts, Shi Yi looked quite different. His skeleton is smaller than Lu Yunye’s, and was practically swimming in the clothes. A bystander who didn’t know any better might think he was the kind of college-aged omega who secretly wore his boyfriend’s clothes.
“The driver is downstairs.” With a suit jacket on his arm, Lu Yunye opened the door for him.
“Are we going to go out like this?” Shi Yi was overwhelmed. If they leave during work hours like this, it’ll be hard to remain unseen with the many people coming and going from Yunye Building.
“There’s a VIP elevator.”
This is the top floor of Yunye Building. Almost no one will come up unless there is some special event. Lu Yunye walked straight to the VIP elevator, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and when the elevator opened again, they had already reached the underground garage.
“Sir.” The driver was a beta in his early thirties, with a round face and a friendly smile.
He opened the car door for the two of them, then turned to Shi Yi and introduced himself, “Mr. Shi, my name is Gao Lin. Just call me Xiao Gao.”
“Hello,” Shi Yi greeted briefly, and then got into the back seat.
The rear seats in the SUV had more than enough space to accommodate the long legs of two people. Gao Lin’s driving was extremely steady, and the gentle swaying made Shi Yi drowsy.
This series of changes happened too quickly, and his body finally had time to react in the car. Shi Yi unconsciously stretched out his hand to support his lower back, feeling a little overwhelmed by the soreness and exhaustion all over his body.
He was often in poor health growing up, and it was normal to catch a cold or fever. But this kind of fatigue is different from being sick. His body is heavy and his mind is buzzing, yet his senses are dull, as if separated by a layer of fog.
Cedar-scented pheromones came closer, clean and refreshing with a faint woody fragrance, as if wiping away the tiredness all over his body.
Shi Yi leaned his elbows against the car window, resting his head on the back of his curled hands, and fell asleep unconsciously.
There was a moment of brain fog when he woke up, and someone’s voice carried faintly into his ear: “Sir, let me do it.”
“No need.”
It was Lu Yunye’s voice.
Before Shi Yi could open his eyes, the car door on his side opened. An arm reached out to hook his legs, and in the next second, his whole body was suspended in the air.
Shi Yi: !!!
He didn’t know how to react to being princess carried. Curling his hands awkwardly, he shrank back, afraid of falling, while also not fully shrinking back so he could maintain some distance from Lu Yunye.
Do alphas like to show off their strength so much? Shi Yi simply closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious. Lu Yunye won’t throw him out anyway.
Lowering his head, Lu Yunye caught sight of the slightly trembling eyelashes of the person in his arms. The corners of his mouth crept up a little, before he opened his mouth to ask, “Uncle Wang, is the guest room ready?”
“It’s all done.”
Seeing Lu Yunye carry the other party straight up to the second floor, the housekeeper couldn’t help showing a gratified smile.
Apart from alphas and betas, there’s never been the shadow of an omega in Mr. Lu’s circle.
It seems that Mr. Lu finally let go of the white moonlight1I’ll be using Bai Yuegang when referring to LYY’s white moonlight as a proper noun in his heart, and brought another omega home!
Oops almost messed up chapter 5 when posting this. 🤦♂️
