Chenxing Palace, outside Pei Ji's study.

Demi is banging on the door.

"Admiral! Open the door!"

"If you have the guts to hide and cry, then you have the guts to open the door!"

Anya held the warm water and shouted helplessly:

"At least drink some water and rehydrate yourself before continuing your crying, Admiral!"

A broken, sobbing voice came from inside: "Get out!"

Shen Que rubbed the bridge of his nose and patted Demi helplessly.

"Let me do it."

Demi made room for the door.

He bent his fingers, knocked on the door three times, and said in a slow tone, "Pei Ji, can you let me in?"

He was met with silence.

Demi: "Admiral, can you please not be so shameless? My wife has already seen it, so there's no point in pretending to be dead now."

There was still deathly silence.

Anya sighed, "How tolerant... Is this the dignity of an Alpha?"

Shen Que stopped knocking on the door, took a deep breath, and suddenly slammed it hard.

"Ah—my wrist!"

The sound of tables and chairs falling over was heard immediately, and the door opened with a "bang".

Pei Ji, with red eyes, grabbed Shen Que's forearm and said, "What's wrong with your wrist? Let me see!"

Chen Que suddenly pulled his hand back, slipped into the house, took away the warm water on Anya's tray, and closed and locked the door with a "click".

All the actions happened in an instant. Demi and Anya, who had no time to react, stared at the door that closed again in amazement.

"Pa, pa, pa" applause rang out.

Phil, who had been eating melon for a long time, praised from the bottom of his heart: "It has to be the madam."

The other side of the door.

Shen Que and Pei Ji are confronting each other.

He placed the glass pot filled with warm water on the table and looked at Pei Ji, whose face was covered with tears.

I am professional.

He said to himself.

A commander with professional qualities cannot laugh casually.

"puff."

As soon as he laughed out loud, Pei Ji's tears fell as if controlled by voice.

"You lied to me..." Pei Ji's voice was hoarse, "You only know how to lie to me!"

He turned around angrily, returned to the sofa where he had just been curled up, and continued to cry in grief and anger.

Shen Que took a step forward and followed.

In Pei Ji's study, all the furniture was custom-made according to the lord's standards, and the sofa was made of high-quality velvet, which felt delicate and soft.

Chen Que climbed onto the sofa and patted Pei Ji, who was buried in a pile of fluffy pillows.

Look at this poor thing... It looks like a stray dog ​​that no one wants.

"...Get out." A muffled voice came from the pillow.

Shen Que turned the man out of the pillow, supported himself on the sofa with one hand, lifted the general's sweaty hair, and looked down at him condescendingly.

His blade-like eyebrows were drooping, and now he had no deterrent effect at all.

"Will you feel better if I'm here?" he asked in a low voice.

If the Omega's estrus period is when they fall prey to physical desires, then the Alpha's susceptible period is when they are completely dominated by emotions.

Extremely irritable, easily angered, and insecure.

All negative and subtle emotions will be magnified countless times, becoming so heavy that they can completely engulf a person.

He needs his partner's pheromones to comfort him, to blend with him, and to connect with him.

But there was indeed nothing.

He leaned on Pei Ji, pressing his palm against his forehead without letting him refuse, looking down at him.

"Look at me, Pei Ji, you haven't looked at me all day."

The gaze that had been hiding for a whole day finally fell on Chen Que. Pei Ji's eyes were deep and dark. He only took a glance and turned his head away.

"Don't be here." His voice was hoarse, his jawline tense. "Don't let me look at you. Don't stay around me."

"I can't help myself."

Shen Que moved closer, "Will you eat me?"

Alpha's breathing suddenly became rapid. He grabbed Shenque's waist and exerted force with his arms. The next second, the world was spinning and their positions were reversed.

The back of Shen Que's head sank into the soft sofa, and his hot breath hit his ears.

Pei Ji was like a wild beast about to go mad, his back tense and arched.

After taking a few heavy breaths, he suddenly stood up.

Shen Que only felt his body lighten.

"Get out of here!" He carried Shen Que towards the door without saying anything.

Shen Que grabbed Pei Ji's collar and said slowly, "If you dare to throw me out, I will divorce you."

His steps to the door suddenly stopped, and Shen Que felt the arm holding him tremble slightly, and then trembled violently.

More tears flowed down, and Pei Ji collapsed and knelt on the ground, still remembering to gently put down the heavy object in his hand.

He didn't dare to hug or bite her. He stretched out his hand with tears in his eyes and tremblingly touched her lips that were like deep, petal-like lips.

"How can such cold words come out of such a warm mouth..."

Shen Que grabbed his hand helplessly, "I lied to you."

"You're obviously serious!" Pei Ji complained hoarsely, "You're already ready to leave me! You never... never liked me... Woo..."

Shen Que sighed helplessly: "Don't imagine."

However, Alpha in the susceptible period can only imagine.

Pei Ji cried even harder: "It's all my fault... I can't protect you well. I can't do anything when you're in pain. I'm useless and I can't take care of others. You look down on me..."

Chen Que: "I told you not to make assumptions."

As if he had touched a sore spot, Pei Ji lay on Shen Que's knees and cried loudly: "But please don't divorce me... Please... What do you hate about me? I will change... I don't want a divorce... Wuuuuu..."

Shen Que regretted it.

He shouldn't have mentioned the word "divorce".

He helplessly patted his aggrieved head on his knees and moved his numb lower body.

"Pei Ji, can you please not kneel on the ground? My legs hurt."

Carrying the Omega back to the sofa again, Pei Ji suppressed his tears, looked at Chen Que silently, lowered his head and kissed his knee.

All the inappropriate thoughts were replaced by heartache and reluctance. He stood up to leave again, but was grabbed by Chen Que.

"Can't you just stay still?" Pei Ji lowered his voice.

But the Omega raised his hand to tuck his hair behind his ear and slowly untied his one-shoulder cloak.

"Admiral."

Shen Que's voice was hoarse and his cheeks were slightly red.

"Don't you want to... hug me..."
