Chapter 62 The Heat Period Has Arrived

Su Yun, holding a wood-chopping knife, knocked on the door of the small courtyard where Rose had settled. "Rose, Rose, are you there?"

The old wooden door creaked open, but the courtyard was quiet and silent.

"Isn't he here?" Su Yun scratched his head, about to go in and check.

Night Breeze stepped in front of her, blocking her way. "Let me go in and take a look first!"

Su Yun was slightly taken aback, then turned to let the other person walk in front.

Seeing the boy's tall figure completely enveloping him and protecting him from behind, Su Yun belatedly realized that the boy in front of him always took the initiative to stand in front of him and protect him.

Looking at the boy who stood in front of him again, Su Yun felt a little touched. Ye Feng was really too kind!

She is so lucky to have such a sweet little kitten.

Just as Su Yun was feeling deeply moved and sobbing, Ye Feng walked into the house first. There was no smell of blood inside, nor any strange noises.

Only a faint, cool pine scent wafted towards me, yet the aroma was so rich.

Night Breeze couldn't help but sneeze, then immediately covered his mouth and nose. He frowned slightly every day, clearly not liking the smell.

Comparatively speaking, Su Yun was quite receptive to the scent. Although she only caught a faint fragrance while standing on the doorframe, she couldn't help but want to get closer and smell more of it.

She went inside and sniffed carefully. The fragrance in the room became richer, and the strong scent of pine wood carrying the aroma of frost and snow wafted towards her.

"What's this smell? It smells so good!" Su Yun sniffed the pleasant, fresh scent of pine in the air as she entered the room.

Night Breeze stood in the room doorway, pointing towards the bed: "The smell on Rose... she seems to be sick..."

"What?" Su Yun hurriedly entered the room. The cool pine scent in the room was even stronger. The fragrance that hit her face was like a tentacle, capturing her sense of smell. Su Yun liked this cool pine scent very much. Even though it was strong, it was not pungent. It had a refreshing smell, like stepping into a pine forest after the first snow.

This is the scent that roses emit during their special period, and Su Yun realized that the roses might be in heat.

Su Yun looked up at Ye Feng. It seemed that Ye Feng had not been captured by this aura. His expression remained calm, without any agitation or unease. Instead, he seemed to have a slight resistance. What was going on?

Is it because we're different species that we don't catch a cold?

Su Yun, filled with doubt, quickly stepped forward to check on Rose's condition.

Rose was lying on the bed, half asleep, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, murmuring, "So hot, so hot~"

"It hurts so much~ Rose is so sad~"

Su Yun grasped her hand, only to realize with a start that the other woman was burning up with fever. "Rose, Rose, what's wrong? Wake up!"

Rose was half asleep, her body burning hot, and sweat constantly seeping from her forehead.

Hearing someone call her, she groggily opened her eyes, murmuring, "Water... I want to drink water..."

"Night Breeze, could you pass me a water glass?"

Night Breeze helped pick up a water glass and handed it to Su Yun. Su Yun took the glass and held it to Rose's lips. Rose felt the coolness on her lips and began to gulp down the water.

"Waaah—"

Su Yun: "Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Rose drank the whole glass of water in no time.

After drinking the water, Rose's eyes gradually cleared, but the flush on her face had not faded, and her skin was still incredibly hot.

Su Yun: "Rose, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever, or—?"

After drinking the water, Rose finally regained some strength. She opened her eyes and saw Su Yun and Ye Feng standing by the bed. Suddenly, she didn't know where the strength came from, but she reached out, grabbed Ye Feng's arm, and pulled him forcefully towards the bed.

Everything happened so suddenly that Ye Feng was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling onto the bed. Fortunately, he managed to grab the bedpost at the last moment and hold on with all his might.

Seeing that she couldn't pull the person away, Rose grabbed their arm, slightly raised her eyes, her eyes slightly red, her long black hair loose, and asked in a questioning tone, "Hmm—? Why not?"

Her expression was both innocent and alluring.

Su Yun: !!!

She's in heat!

Su Yun quickly went to check on her cat, Ye Feng, who was now in a frenzy, desperately resisting and clinging to the bedpost, refusing to let go, as if afraid of being dragged onto the bed by Rose.

What's going on? Didn't we agree that everyone could have fun when the time came?

How did it turn into a scene of kidnapping innocent young men?

Rose's face was flushed, her brows furrowed, and she clung tightly to her kitten, refusing to let go. "Wouldn't it be better if you were my partner? Why won't you?"

Night Breeze, however, resisted, saying, "I don't want to."

"No, I'm in so much pain right now, and there's no one else but you." Rose refused to let go of her only potential "partner."

"I don't want to!"

"you want!"

"I don't want to!"

"you want!"

"I don't want to!"

After repeating this several times, Rose's eyes darted around, and she changed her tune:

"You don't want to!"

"I want!"

"Okay, come on over!"

Night Breeze: "..."

The rose successfully bewildered the night breeze.

In terms of eloquence, the taciturn Night Breeze was no match for Rose, but in terms of strength, the boy was still superior. Night Breeze eventually broke free from Rose's clutches and, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped directly onto the wall.

Rose followed closely behind, but unfortunately, she was too weak to stand and could only hop around at the bottom of the wall, shouting, "Why are you going up there? Come down if you dare!"

Night Wind: "No!"

Su Yun was stunned by what she saw.

Didn't we agree that we would be attracted to each other and unable to control our feelings?

Why is Yefeng's attitude all resistance? Could it be that Yefeng's race doesn't actually go into heat?

Rose stood below, leaning against the wall, watching longingly, while Night Wind stood on the roof, refusing to come down.

A kitten jumping up and down, and a dog looking on longingly.

Su Yun wanted to laugh, but seeing Ye Feng's troubled expression...

As the owner, you can't be so heartless.

In the end, Su Yun persuaded Rose to come back, saying, "You can't do that. It will scare her. Since she doesn't want to be with you, you can't force her."

Rose hugged the blanket, sobbing, "But I feel so uncomfortable~"

Su Yun: "Isn't there any other way?"

Rose looked at the night breeze but still refused to come down, finally sobbing helplessly, "There is—"

......

Finally, Su Yun found a large water vat, soaked the rose, whose body was hot and soft, in it, and occasionally used a water ladle to give it a "wake-up call".

"Are you feeling any better?" Su Yun felt like an old farmer diligently watering the flowers.

Rose lay limply in the water tank, gazing mournfully at the ceiling. "Nothing~"

"It's so hot, roses, it's so uncomfortable~ Why won't the night breeze come down, sob sob sob~"

"There's nothing we can do, it's your own fault for not being able to get up there."

"Waaaaah, Rose can't climb up, otherwise Rose could have beaten him into submission~"

"Hey, hey, hey, girl, your thinking is dangerous!" Su Yun tried to correct the girl who had gone astray. "Some things are based on mutual consent. If someone doesn't want to, you can't force them. Forcing others is wrong."

Rose lamented, "Just pounce on him and don't help him. Isn't that what the books say? If you say you're willing, you're willing; if you say you're not, you're willing. Either way, you're willing."

"What book? So many fallacies and heresies, corrupting children." Su Yun was bewildered, then tried to correct her, "No, you have to get the other person's consent first."

Rose, half-understanding, said with a wronged expression, "But I'm feeling unwell~"

Looking at Rose's flushed face, Su Yun poured her another cup of strong honeysuckle tea. "Drink this if you feel unwell, it's good for clearing heat and reducing inflammation! Down with it!"

Rose took the water glass and gulped down the tea in one go.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Su Yun asked with great concern.

Rose let out a long sigh of relief. "Hmm—much better. It feels cool."

"That's good, that's good. Come on, water it a little more!"

"Swish—" Su Yun picked up the water ladle and poured another ladle of water down from above, instantly drenching Rose's fiery heart.

After settling Rose in, Su Yun ran to the corner of the wall to look at Ye Feng. She waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Night Breeze then moved from the high rooftop to the wall. He had previously felt that the wall was not safe either, always suspecting that the rose might suddenly jump onto it, so he moved his position to the higher rooftop, watching the rose in the water tank warily.

Only when they saw Su Yun waving did they slowly move over.

"Night Breeze, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

The night wind shook its head.

"Do you notice anything different from usual?" Su Yun continued to ask.

The night wind still shook its head.

"Should we..." Su Yun was a little worried that her kitten might be sick, which was why it couldn't sense pheromones. She wanted Ye Feng to come closer to try, but before she could finish her sentence...

"I don't want to!" Nightwind flicked its tail and jumped back onto the roof in the next second. It was visibly exhausted, its ears and tail drooping, its eyes slightly downcast and brimming with tears. It looked as if it had suffered a tremendous injustice, its voice trembling with sobs: "I don't want to..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want it, then don't. I'm here, no one can bully you." Su Yun patted her chest and assured her, after all, her little cat was the most important. She promised, "No one can force Ye Feng to do things he doesn't want to do. We fully guarantee the personal freedom and freedom of love of the people!"

Night Breeze: "Hmm!"

"Here, have a water glass. Drink some water first." Su Yun handed the water glass to the other person.

Ye Feng then reached out and took the water glass, gulping it down, seemingly having been thirsty for a long time.

But that's understandable, considering how long you've been on the roof and the sun is so strong.

Su Yun said with concern, "Why don't you come down first? I think Rose is feeling a bit better."

Night Breeze looked at the rose, still stubbornly staring at the rooftop, submerged in the water tank, and firmly shook his head. "No!"

"Fine!" Su Yun said helplessly. One side refused to give up the idea of ​​forcing others, while the other refused to give in easily.

Unable to persuade either side, Su Yun could only serve tea and water to the two who were locked in a stalemate.
