Chapter 17. At night...

at night.

Ji Qian walked out of the side bedroom wearing an Alpha shirt, the buttons undone, and she was naked from the waist down.

He was so hungry he felt weak, and the brief moment of lucidity made him more acutely aware of his physical discomfort.

He drank half a bottle of nutritional supplement and saw the food prepared in the refrigerator, which only needed to be heated in the microwave or could be eaten directly.

Ji Qian took out some food and ate it. When she was no longer hungry, she went into the bedroom to take a shower.

He took off his clothes and waited for his body to recover so he could wash all of Alpha's clothes.

She definitely won't know that way.

She would never know that he spent his heat cycle in her bed and made a mess of her clothes.

Ji Qian's mind was blank, and she almost stopped thinking. She slowly washed herself in the bathtub, her body warm and her skin smooth and delicate.

He changed back into his pajamas, but instead of going back to his own bed, he returned to his original room and climbed into the alpha's bed.

The phone still has power.

Ji Qian saw the message on her phone, stared at the alpha's screen, buried her face in the blankets, smelled the pheromones on it, and wanted to send her a message.

It doesn't really matter anymore; if he sends her a message, she'll definitely come over.

His heat cycle was never as unbearable as it was today, nearly costing him his life.

Since she's already kissed and hugged me, it doesn't matter if we go any further, get marked, or have sex.

At worst, I can just ask her to marry me.

The faint pheromones tormented the omega's mind, the craving spreading like wildfire through his body, tightly enveloping his heart.

Ji Qian gripped the phone, but dared not move her fingers an inch.

The room was dark, and they dared not turn on the lights, for fear that the furnishings inside would remind them of their despicable behavior.

He exhaled hot breath, and his phone slowly went black, slipping from his hand. Several inhibitors and nutrient solutions were also placed on the bedside table.

Just bear with it a little longer.

It's just her estrus cycle.

There's no need for her, no absolute necessity, and she won't die.

Ji Qian buried herself in the blankets, unwilling to let go of her pride and shame, and couldn't utter a single word.

The heat cycle is undoubtedly difficult to get through; you spend almost seven days in bed unable to move.

That brief moment of clarity only made him want to send the message even more.

This is the last day.

Ji Qian got off the bed, grabbed Alpha's sheets and blankets, and stuffed them all into the washing machine. She then folded Alpha's clothes and placed them next to the washing machine, waiting to put them in to wash later.

He was still a little feverish, his mind was as if it were fogged up, his flushed face was damp, and he sluggishly tried to erase the traces of the past few days in the room.

Instead of spending this last day quietly in bed, waiting for the heat to end, she is busy and anxiously trying to erase her behavior.

Because of that immense shame.

The room was now filled with the pheromones of omegas; there was no trace of alpha left.

The message on his phone informed him that his lunch had been left at the door. Ji Qian froze, not daring to go and get it right away. He just stood there, head down, looking somewhat aggrieved.

I can't believe I would do something like this, even though I feel so wronged.

The sound of water from the washing machine is particularly noticeable in a quiet environment.

Ji Qian looked at the pile of clothes; they all needed to be washed because they all smelled of him.

The room was very bright.

Ji Qian sat on the stool to relieve her fatigue and soreness, quietly drinking her milk with her head down, her eyes fixed on the washing machine.

As the faint pheromones disappeared, Ji Qian swallowed the milk in her mouth and felt a slight itch in her throat.

He carried the dry clothes back into the room, hung them in the closet, and then covered the bed with laundry again.

He stared at the furnishings in the side bedroom, his cheeks flushed, and walked to the window to open it, trying to dispel the pheromones in the room.

Even with the exhaust valve open, there was still a faint, sweet pheromone scent.

After finishing all that, Ji Qian dragged her weak and aching body back to her room.

On the bed, he closed his eyes wearily, waiting for his heat to completely subside.

Ji Qian buried herself completely in her blankets, with only her hair showing, breathing in small breaths, feeling ashamed to face anyone.

Thinking back to what she had said before, that he was playing hard to get, but now he had actually slept in her bed for seven days.

...

As night fell, noises began to appear in the corridor.

Alpha stood at the door, looked at the food that hadn't been brought in, opened the door, and went inside.

The living room was dark.

As soon as I entered, I could smell the strong pheromones emanating from the omega, much stronger than when I was teased on other occasions.

Are you still in heat?

Alpha took the food inside and placed it in the entryway, then turned on the light and glanced around the living room.

There wasn't anything messy, except for a few empty inhibitors in the trash can.

Jiang Shi opened the door to the master bedroom and found it was also dark inside.

It's 7 PM now.

Are you asleep so early?

Logically, after seven days, his heat cycle should have ended.

Jiang Shi turned on a light in one of the corners of the bedroom and went in to check on the omega on the bed.

There was a bulge on the bed, and the person sleeping on it was buried in it, with their face pressed against the pillow, not showing their head.

Jiang Shi pulled off the blanket, looked at his flushed face, and reached out to touch his forehead.

It's just that I covered myself up; I didn't have a fever.

She stared thoughtfully at his handsome face, her fingertips tracing the corner of his lips, but her gaze slowly moved to the back of his neck.

There were only traces of the syringe.

strangeness.

What about his alpha?

Didn't you get married? Why don't you even come back to be with her during your heat?

She wasn't marked, she didn't have a ring, and she lived here all by herself.

What kind of alpha did he marry?

Jiang Shi thought to himself, "These past few years have been really strange."

An alpha married an omega but didn't take good care of her, and one by one the omega even started to have the idea of ​​keeping her as a sugar daddy.

Rich people have really strange ideas.

If she marries her omega, she would never allow him to have the chance to find another alpha; such behavior would be shameful to talk about.

Jiang Shi withdrew his hand, got up and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Jiang Shi returned to his room, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a very faint pheromone.

She found it strange, but also thought it made sense, since pheromones are indeed stronger during this period, so it's normal for them to get inside.

The lights in the room were turned on, and Alpha, with his sharp eyes, spotted a very thin silk nightgown in the corner.

She saw Ji Qian walk by.

Jiang Shi picked up the clothes; they felt slippery and cold in his hands.

She sniffed it, her nose lightly brushing against it; the pheromones on it were very strong.

It carries the fresh scent of sleeves and the sweetness of honey.

How come his clothes are here?

If he finds out that she's hiding his clothes in her room, she'll probably call her a pervert again.

But she didn't bring this dress in.

Jiang Shi put the clothes on the bed and noticed that the curtains were slightly billowing in the wind, so he went over and closed the window.

She didn't open the window before she left.

Jiang Shi turned around and stared at the pajamas on the bed, but walked to the wardrobe and took out the pajamas he needed to change into.

She didn't notice anything amiss, glanced at the clothes in the closet, took out her pajamas, and went straight into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Alpha didn't go to sleep; he just sat on the bed, looking at the data on his computer.

Jiang Shi has two weeks left before he has to take the exam.

It's not that she's trying to betray someone after they've served their purpose, but looking at the omega's appearance, she can only catch him once a day.

She went there, and could come back once a week, or simply apply to live outside.

It won't cause any delays at all.

Judging from his expression, he probably won't say anything to refuse.

Jiang Shi thought about his heat cycle, and realized that his own fertile period was still more than a week away.

Her neighbor's younger brother is coming to see her tomorrow.

Around 10 p.m., Jiang Shi closed his laptop, noticed the silk pajamas beside his pillow, and turned off the light.

As the outside light came on, illuminating the living room, a ray of light shone in, and the room felt cool after the temperature had dropped.

In the master bedroom.

The person in bed was woken up by hunger.

The first thing Omega did upon waking up was to get up and drink water, and then hurriedly washed up and drank half a bottle of nutrient solution.

He wasn't wearing a shirt, only his long sleeves covered his thighs.

In the living room, the omega sat at the bar, swinging his legs. His buttocks were flat against the bar, his thighs were spread apart, and he looked sluggish and slow. His cheeks were still damp.

Since he had just gotten up, he couldn't feel the cold yet.

Ji Qian lay there in a daze, feeling her body return to normal, and her thoughts slowly began to move.

Almost a month has passed.

The time my father gave me is almost up.

So what do we do next?

Anyway, the government has given us more than two months, so my father can't just take him back and lock him up.

If they really capture him and take him back, he'll have Jiang Shi mark him permanently, so he can't marry anyone else.

Who would want an omega who's been permanently marked by someone else?

Ji Qian was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

They actually thought of having the alpha permanently mark him.

Is he an alpha who is promiscuous, a "central air conditioner" (someone who is nice to everyone), and exudes alpha hormones everywhere?

If I really marry her, there will definitely be many suitors vying for her attention, and she won't realize that there's anything wrong with that.

She might even be seduced by other omegas and actively mark them.

Ji Qian checked her phone; it was only eight in the morning.

He looked up at the doorway of the side bedroom, hesitating whether to go in and smell if there were still any pheromones inside.

One day should be enough.

She probably hasn't come back yet.

Ji Qian glanced at the doorway, then tugged at her clothes, deciding to go back inside and change first, lest she suddenly return and accuse him of seducing someone in the house.

A dozen minutes later, Ji Qian returned to the living room and opened Jiang Shi's room.

As soon as Ji Qian opened the door, she saw the alpha coming out of the bathroom, dressed very lightly.

Omega's eyes widened, she exclaimed in surprise, startled, and quickly ran away from the doorway.

Jiang Shi stood there and gave him a strange look. If anyone was going to come in, it would be him. It was him again.

Isn't there an alpha version? Haven't you seen the alpha version yet?

Jiang Shi closed the door and used the towel in his hand to wipe his still dripping hair and face.
