“Can you make a sound? You can also give a speech as a school tyrant.” Qin Cheng leaned against the hospital corridor, looking up to see Jian Heng’s face. The doctor’s words were spinning in his head like a curse.
Due to the high compatibility of Alpha pheromones, the frequency of your susceptible periods has significantly increased. If nothing else goes wrong, it will happen once a month, lasting three to five days each time. I hope during this time, the two of you will stick to each other… What a load of nonsense!
Let him look at Jian Heng’s face for three to five days, and also once a month. Did he destroy the earth in his previous life so he was punished like this?
Jian Heng leaned against the wall. His expression was as calm as an old doctor facing a crazy patient, and he was that patient.
After a long silence, Jian Heng finally opened his honorable mouth. “During the susceptible period, contact me if anything happens.”
It was quite a cold and heartless statement, after all, the doctor said that he was more affected than Jian Heng. But hearing Jian Heng say this, Qin Cheng felt relieved instead.
What kind of relationship did the two have? They had only known each other for less than two days and found each other unpleasant. Making him rush to stick with Jian Heng, not to mention anything else, made him feel disgusted. Moreover, he felt that Jian Heng would only be more disgusted than him.
Those words, ‘Contact me if anything happens’, are really the best way to deal with this relationship.
The two of them settled the matter peacefully. Relying on the fact that the top Alpha physical constitution is good and that there is no problem for the time being, the two of them return home and go to 302 and 301 respectively. No one mentioned the matter of ‘Sticking together’.
Qin Cheng didn’t know what Jian Heng was thinking, but he just knew he wanted to be quiet.
When he entered the house, Song Yingmei was holding her wallet and about to open the door. She frowned tightly, her eyes were filled with impatience. When she saw him coming in, she immediately looked up and down, touching his arms and rubbing his face. Her voice trembling with fear.
“Your teacher just called and said that you fainted and went to the hospital. What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is the examination done? Go with your mother and check it again carefully. Is it because you stay up too late? In the future…”
“Mom, Mom, it’s fine,” Qin Cheng wrapped his arms around her, his tall figure completely covering Song Yingmei. As he walked into the house, he explained, “It’s really okay, Mom.”
Lao Xu still didn’t keep her promise and called his mother, but she could be said to be kind enough to wait until he left the hospital.
Qin Cheng didn’t dare to tell her the truth. He hugged her and acted coquettishly to muddle through: “I just didn’t eat in the morning and had low blood sugar. I was running with Tan Qi in the morning and I fainted for a short time. The doctor told me to just pay attention to my diet in the future. It has nothing to do with my schedule.”
Song Yingmei clearly didn’t believe it. She touched his forehead repeatedly, her eyes flashing with tears of anxiety: “How can everything be fine? Your face is so pale…”
Qin Cheng was good at soothing his mother, lying without batting an eye. He rests his head on her shoulder, rubbing against her while acting cute: “If you make me something delicious, I won’t feel dizzy. Mom, I want to eat fried glutinous rice cake1油炸糕 (yóu zhá gāo): Fried glutinous rice cake, or ear-hole fried cake [耳朵眼炸糕 (ěr duǒ yǎn zhà gāo)] is a fried rice cake that is a popular street food in Tianjin, China. It was invented by a street vendor named Liu Wanchun (劉萬春) during the Guangxu Emperor’s reign. In fact, this snack does not contain any meaty ingredients, let alone pig ear hole or other ears. The name comes from Ear Hole Hutong where the snack bar were founded. In the Northeast of China, it was called fried cake (油炸糕). Ear-hole fried cake is often referred to as one of the “Three Tianjin delights”, along with Mahua (snack) and Goubuli. Recipe: Link. , with extra bean paste filling…”
Song Yingmei was so distressed that she did everything according to her son.
She personally took him to the bedroom and helped him to the bed, then she heated up the food and brought it to his room. She also made a cup of milk powder, almost feeding the food to him bite by bite.
Qin Cheng took a sip of milk and imperceptibly frowned. He doesn’t like to drink this, it stinks.
But in front of Song Yingmei, he drank it all in one gulp. He obediently put a mouthful of food into his mouth and coaxed her: “Mom, you go back to your room. I’m really fine. Now I can immediately run to the sixth floor and come down!”
His mother was so anxious that her forehead was covered with sweat. If she didn’t rest, it’d be her who would faint.
“Don’t toss about, I’ll make delicious food for you tonight. Get some sleep first.” Song Yingmei warned him worriedly. After looking all over him again, making sure there was nothing wrong. Only then did she go out step by step.
The door was closed.
Qin Cheng let out a sigh of relief as he set down the bowl. He took a few bites of food but didn’t manage to suppress the taste of milk in his mouth. After enduring it for a while, he couldn’t hold back. He leaned against the edge of the bed and retched, then drank half a cup of water to suppress it, then leaned against the bed and stopped moving.
His gaze was vacant, and the belated fatigue spread to his limbs.
He began to contemplate.
Before the next susceptible period arrives, should he ease his relationship with Jian Heng? Bring another plate of pies and send them over to establish a pie friendship or something…
Hey, buddy, let’s forget that matter between the two of us. Why don’t we bite each other during the susceptible period in the future?
Fuck! That picture is too beautiful, he couldn’t think about it.
To be honest, when he first differentiated at the age of 15, his life plan was to find a compatible Omega and spend the rest of their life together. Such a mundane goal.
However, the reality was too cruel. The next day, he was told, ‘You have Omega pheromone insensitivity. You cannot feel Omega pheromones and there will be no susceptible period either. But it doesn’t matter, Omega can sense your pheromones.‘
From that day on, his plan changed. He wants to find a compatible Omega who doesn’t dislike him for being ‘frigid’.
Now, the first two plans have been scrapped. He wants to find a compatible Omega who doesn’t dislike him for being ‘frigid’, but also doesn’t mind the fact that he has to spend three to five days every month with another Alpha.
The more he plans it, the more he seems like a scumbag.
In the eyes of straight man Qin-ge, an Alpha’s partner must be an Omega. Once they are together, they must be loyal to love and loyal to her; the kind that never breaks up for the rest of their lives.
Very old-fashioned.
But a sudden accident broke the calm and made the already pessimistic situation worse…
He thought about starting to take medicine from now on, but the doctor said that his current condition could not be suppressed by taking medicine. Only after being with Jian Heng for a few years can he have the opportunity to slowly adapt to the medicine.
A few years. Qin Cheng cursed and lay back on the bed.
What the fuck is all this human suffering?
–
It was almost five o’clock when Qin Cheng woke up. He had been quite decadent before, but these two days had been particularly shameful. He slept at home every day as if he was about to give the world a permanent farewell——sleeping at school would seem more proper.
He glanced through the door crack and saw that his mother was sleeping. There was a cross stitch beside the pillow. She must have just fallen asleep.
There is no food at home. In order to play the ‘low blood sugar’ character well, Qin Cheng carried his bicycle and pushed open the door. He decided to go to the vegetable market for a walk.
When he raised his head, Jian Heng, dressed in all black sportswear, was about to go downstairs. It looked like he was going to exercise.
Qin Cheng had to admit that this person, Jian Heng, and the color black really matched well. Dressed in all black with that cold face, his aura extended two meters and eight.
Tall, with long legs, and a touch of coldness. If there was a cute girl next to him now, she would probably faint on the spot from his handsomeness at first sight.
But he was a tough guy. Not only would he not faint, but he also really wanted to turn around and go home as if he had never seen this person before.
Jian Heng’s imposing and cold aura attribute meant that it was impossible for him to speak first. He was still sulking in his heart, feeling extremely sad about the fact that he couldn’t find his dream Omega lover. For a while, he didn’t feel like taking the initiative to speak.
The two people stared at each other without knowing what to do. Their eyes locked in a fierce battle, their gazes causing chaos in a different dimension, where the sun and moon lost their light and sparks flew all over the place.
In the end, Qin Cheng couldn’t resist first. The bike in his hands defeated him.
“Running?” Qin Cheng spoke concisely and to the point. Any more words would make his defeat even worse.
“Um.” Jian Heng was even more concise than him.
Qin Cheng took the lead to go downstairs before the atmosphere became tense. He was not interested in discussing in-depth topics with Jian Heng about where to run and what time to run. Jian Heng was probably even less interested than him.
When going downstairs, Jian Heng kept three steps behind him. From the corner of his eye, Qin Cheng could see his black sneakers, half of his exposed ankle, and a pair of long legs.
Jian Heng walked down the steps one at a time, very disciplined. The curvature of his calves was just right, it warms the heart and delights the eye.
Qin Cheng suspected that he had trained.
Out of the peacock mentality of resisting the opposite sex who was evenly matched with him, Qin-ge unilaterally thought that his legs were longer and better looking.
Downstairs, Qin Cheng was struggling about whether or not he should say ‘I’m leaving’ and finish what had been started, but Jian Heng’s movements attracted him.
Jian Heng stood downstairs, not walking in any direction. He turned his head and looked at the row of railings next to the small broken flower beds——there was a special place to lock bikes on the railings, but no one in their neighborhood would leave their bike there. To be precise, no one in their entire Jinhua City would do this.
“Lost your bike?” Qin Cheng expressed his condolences out of humanitarianism, but there’s a bit of uncontrollable schadenfreude in his tone.
Who let you show off?
Jian Heng ignored him. After searching around to confirm that it was lost, he lifted his legs and walked towards the entrance of the neighborhood.
There’s not even the slightest intention to greet him.
Qin Cheng felt like he was an idiot for being entangled just now.
He violently stepped on the pedals, and the bicycle directly sped out, overtaking Jian Heng, who was dressed in all black.
Dad Qin has a bike, so you can only see the dust ahead and are unable to catch up, right?
…..
The world is wonderful and it is very fair. For example, if you just laughed at a person who lost their bicycle, the world will turn around and let you fall off your bicycle——in front of that person.
Qin Cheng’s head was still dazed when he was dragged up by Jian Heng by the collar. The whole person leaned against Jian Heng’s arms like a noodle. He didn’t even find it embarrassing to be hugged by another Alpha. He even wanted to rub it…
“Qin Cheng.” Jian Heng called him. The hoarse bass sound made Qin Cheng’s mushy brain realize that Jian Heng was not in a normal state either.
But he still wanted to rub it.
“Slap!”
“Fuck!”
Qin Cheng covered his face, unable to believe that he had been slapped in the face. The culprit pushed him out of his arms without any guilt, leaving only the collar of his T-shirt being pulled to keep him balanced.
“…Am I a fucking bacterium?” Qin Cheng still didn’t have any strength, and his breath was filled with the scent of incense, which kept him from fainting.
Jian Heng ignored him and looked at him with a slight frown. The hand holding his collar tightened, and only after a long time did he say: “The susceptible period has not passed.”
Qin Cheng let out an ‘ah’, his mouth going dry.
Not only has it not gone away, it has simply gotten worse. The two of them had only been separated for a few short hours, and he had directly passed out halfway through his bike ride without any warning. If Jian Heng was not by his side, he would have to go to the hospital again.
“You——”
“You——”
Qin Cheng was stunned. He waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Jian Heng really had no intention of speaking again, he continued in a low voice: “You, where are you going for a run?”
Jian Heng glanced at him: “I don’t run.”
Qin Cheng: “…”
You can’t take Jian Heng’s words seriously; this guy can come up with any nonsense just to show off.
Qin Cheng leaned against his fist, feeling weak in the legs. Except for his voice, he couldn’t tell anything was wrong with Jian Heng. This Alpha compatibility syndrome was also a fucking double standard.
Qin Cheng asked in a hoarse voice: “Can I trouble you to let me take a bite?”
Jian Heng refused simply: “No.”
Qin Cheng turned his head back to look at him. He pushed back too hard and his neck cracked. He could see Jian Heng’s eyes flashing.
Qin-ge was so frightened that he twisted his neck.
Perhaps truly intimidated by his conventional skills, Jian Heng explained for the first time: “The doctor said that being close together when there’s a problem can alleviate it. There is no use in taking a bite and then separating.”
Qin Cheng: “Oh.”
The atmosphere fell silent once again. Qin Cheng felt that he could adapt to this kind of awkwardness even if it happened several more times. Indeed, human potential is limitless.
“Where are you going?” Jian Heng carried him in one hand. Relying on the length of his arms, he bent down slightly and picked up the bicycle with his other hand, revealing a black wrist guard on his wrist.
“Buying groceries.” Qin Cheng said.
Jian Heng visibly paused, perhaps because he didn’t expect him to be a good family man with this appearance.
“Let’s go,” Jian Heng carried him and climbed onto the bicycle with his long legs, his narrow eyes seemed to be mocking, “Can you come up?”
Qin Cheng lost his temper. His body was too unsatisfactory. Now, he only relied on his perseverance of ‘can’t lose face’ to hold back from pouncing and biting the back of someone’s neck.
He forced himself to sit in the back seat, but Jian Heng did not move.
After two seconds, Qin Cheng put his hands on his waist and finally put his face on his back as if he was giving up. The whole person was pressed up against him.
The moment they were close to each other, their pheromones were tangled together like crazy. The incense and damp woody scent merged. The coldness in the pheromones dissipated, and a warm atmosphere gradually filled the air, like crackling wood burning in a stove in winter.
A few minutes ago, he was still the Qin-ge who was pedaling his bike and laughing at others. A few minutes later, he turned into the delicate flower Qin, who was lying behind others and couldn’t even pedal the bike.
He doesn’t need this face anymore.
In his previous life, he didn’t destroy the Earth; he destroyed the galaxy.
The author has something to say:
Your pancake is squatting in the corner and whispering: The world is very fair…
