Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Inhibitor, or Marker? ...

Chen Louchen's breathing suddenly stopped when he smelled the fragrance of the flowers.

That warm floral scent that seeped from my bones and blood. No, not just any floral scent. It was stronger than the average omega, mingled with the bitter aftermath of rain, so thick it seemed to solidify.

He lowered his eyes and actually saw tiny particles of light floating around Fu Xu's body. The red color was the red wine-flavored pheromones that he had uncontrollably released, and the dark purple with a golden glow was slowly spreading from the gland on the back of Fu Xu's neck that had not fully healed, like melted amethyst wrapped in gold foil, tightening his wrists.

It was... it was twin flowers. The golden and purple flowers wrapped around Fu Xu's wrists climbed up Chen Louchen's arms along their intersecting wrists, as if they had gained new life, teasing Chen Louchen's nerves, and the glands at the back of his neck couldn't help but emit pheromones.

"Fu Xu..." Chen Louchen's voice was hoarse. The person beneath his palm was still trembling slightly, his cheek rubbing against his shirt, unconsciously shrinking into his arms. This was the first time he had such clear confirmation that Fu Xu was not a low-quality omega, but an omega whose glands had recovered, even he himself might not be aware.

A sudden sharp pain came from the gland at the back of his neck, as if he had been pricked by the purple-gold pheromone. Chen Louchen suddenly clutched the corner of Fu Xu's clothes, his mind teetering on the edge of collapse. His Alpha instinct was clamoring to mark and possess him, but when his eyes fell on Fu Xu's pale lips, he forced himself to suppress it.

He hasn't asked Fu Xu whether he is willing or not, and hasn't figured out what Fu Xu really feels towards him. How can he use the influence of pheromones to forcibly keep him?

The phone was uncomfortable in his pocket, and Chen Louchen took it out almost instinctively. His fingertips were shaking so much that he couldn't even dial the number correctly.

When Lin Yunzhou's call was connected, he heard a crisp "clang" sound from the other end, like a teacup falling to the ground, followed by Lin Yunzhou's low voice: "Lou Chen? What's the matter?"

"Fu Xu..." Chen Louchen swallowed his saliva, his eyes fixed on the reddish skin on the back of Fu Xu's neck, "He is emitting strong pheromones, and he is still running a fever, and his body temperature won't go down."

There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds, followed by the sound of Lin Yunzhou's hurried footsteps. "Pheromones? Isn't his gland atrophy? Do you think he's... is he reaching his prime?"

"FQ period?" Chen Louchen was stunned. He had never thought of this possibility. Fu Xu's glands were deliberately damaged by the Fu family when he was a child. The doctor said it was almost impossible to recover. How could it suddenly...

"It's likely." Lin Yunzhou's voice was filled with confidence. "Think about it, is he staying with you for a long time? Alpha pheromones can stimulate the repair of Omegas' glands, especially high-level Alphas like you. His pheromones before were probably just weak fluctuations. This time, it's probably because his emotions fluctuated so much that it directly triggered the estrus period."

Chen Louchen's heart sank suddenly.

Emotional fluctuations? What was the reason? He didn't know the reason, but he subconsciously tightened his arms and hugged Fu Xu even tighter. He heard the person in his arms let out a small whimper and rubbed his chin like a kitten.

"What should we do now?" For the first time, Chen Louchen's voice was filled with panic that he himself didn't even notice.

"There are two ways." Lin Yunzhou paused, obviously taking into account Chen Louchen's taboo. "Either use a powerful inhibitor, or... you mark him. But you definitely don't want to mark him. Gu Wangyan and I will go over now. If an omega wants to interrupt his first intercourse, the only way is to use an inhibitor. You stabilize him first and don't let him hurt himself."

This inhibitor is a high-end prescription drug and will not be prescribed to patients unless it is absolutely necessary. If he wants to get it, he has to go there.

"Okay." Chen Louchen hung up the phone and threw the phone on the sofa.

Fu Xu's body temperature was getting higher and higher, and his breathing became rapid. His slender fingers grasped his tie, unconsciously pulling him towards him.

Chen Louchen looked at the red corners of his eyes, with tears still stained on his eyelashes, and felt like something was pulling at his heart.

Chen Louchen lowered his head and carefully touched Fu Xu's lips, his movements so light as if he was afraid of breaking them. Fu Xu's body trembled, but he did not dodge. Instead, he opened his mouth slightly and held his lower lip.

The sweet floral scent mixed with the smell of red wine spread between their lips and teeth. Pheromones were like a ignited flame, instantly filling the entire living room. Even the dust in the air seemed to be dyed with purple-gold light.

Chen Louchen's Adam's apple rolled violently, and he forced himself to look away?

When there was a hurried knock on the door, Chen Louchen stood up almost immediately, fearing that the noise would be too loud and wake up Fu Xu.

The moment the door opened, Lin Yunzhou and Gu Wangyan fell in. Both of them were pale. As an Omega, Gu Wangyan's reaction was even more obvious. His fingertips were red and his breathing was a little unstable.

"Fuck..." Lin Yunzhou held onto the door frame and took a breath. "The concentration of your pheromones almost made this guy and I hooked up." He took out a tube of silver inhibitor from his bag and tossed it to Chen Louchen. "It's powerful and can suppress it, but the side effects are huge. You can handle it yourself. Wang Yan and I have to leave quickly. If we stay any longer, we won't be able to control it."

Gu Wangyan glanced at Fu Xu lying on the sofa, his eyes filled with worry: "Boss Shen, if he doesn't want to use it, don't force him... This inhibitor is very damaging to the glands."

He was originally worried about Fu Xu's health, thinking that they were friends after all, so he had to come and see him, but in the current situation, it was not appropriate for them to stay for long.

After the two of them finished talking, they left almost as if they were escaping.

Chen Louchen held the tube of ice-cold inhibitor and stood at the door for a few seconds. When he turned around, he saw that Fu Xu had woken up and was looking at him with a pair of misty eyes.

"Is that... an inhibitor?" Fu Xu's voice was very soft, with a hoarseness from just waking up. His gaze fell on the inhibitor in Shen Louchen's hand. There was no surprise in his eyes, only an almost numb calmness.

In fact, he heard everything Shen Louchen said just now. Even in this situation, Shen Louchen did not think of marking him.

Fu Xu suddenly felt that he was particularly hateful. He was just an unloved and inferior omega. How could he expect Mr. Shen's love? But recently their atmosphere was too warm, which made him forget that Mr. Shen hated omegas so much. Maybe he would think that this was a trap?

Chen Louchen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to hide the inhibitor, but Fu Xu had already reached out and gently grabbed his wrist: "Give it to me."

"No." Chen Louchen hid the inhibitor behind him, "This medicine has side effects and cannot be used."

"Destroy it if you want." Fu Xu smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "Anyway, I'm a useless Omega. If I become a Beta, maybe it will be better." He paused, raised his eyes to look at Chen Louchen, with a pleading light in his eyes, "Mr. Chen, can you give me a chance? A chance to choose for myself?"

Chen Louchen looked into his eyes, which were filled with inferiority and despair, like a flower that was about to wither. He knew that Fu Xu had always cared about his glands, but he had never thought that Fu Xu would want to "change" himself in this way. His heart felt like it was pricked by a needle and it hurt badly.

"Okay," he heard himself say.

Fu Xu took the inhibitor and slowly stood up with the help of the sofa. His steps were a little unsteady, but he still insisted on walking back to the room by himself.

The moment the door closed, Chen Louchen saw the tears in his eyes finally fall, hitting the floor and leaving a small stain.

Chen Louchen stood in the living room, feeling empty inside. He picked up his cell phone and wanted to call Lin Yunzhou to ask if there was any other way. But just as he pressed the dial button, the phone rang. It was Gu Wangyan calling.

"Boss Shen! This is bad!" Gu Wangyan's voice was filled with nervousness. He was tugging at the alpha he was about to carry away while making a phone call. "We left just now because we were speechless, but that inhibitor isn't the ordinary strong type. It's experimental. The side effects are much greater than we thought. An omega like Fu Xu, whose glands are already in poor condition, might very well... die after using it. Throw it away quickly. We'll send you a new one when he recovers."

Although he didn't know whether Lin Yunzhou would wake up, this alpha had an omega he liked very much, and Lin Yunzhou also had directional pheromones. Even if he kidnapped the man back to the hospital, he might have to go find the omega. But he rarely went to Lin's hospital, so he had no idea where the inhibitor was. He could only pray that Mr. Lin would answer the phone.

"What?" Chen Louchen's mind went blank. His phone fell to the ground with a "bang", and the screen shattered. He rushed to Fu Xu's room like a madman and knocked hard on the door: "Fu Xu! Open the door! Put down the inhibitor! Do you hear me!"

There was no response from the room. Chen Louchen's heart felt like it had been thrown into an ice cellar. He could imagine Fu Xu's current state, perhaps holding the inhibitor, hesitating at the back of his neck, perhaps already ready to stab him. For the first time, he was so scared, afraid that Fu Xu would disappear, afraid that he would never see him again.

"Fu Xu!" Chen Louchen's voice was trembling. He banged his shoulder against the door. He thought, if Fu Xu didn't like him, he could find an Alpha he liked. I can let him go, but he can't die.

There was a small sound from inside the door, like something falling to the ground.

Chen Louchen held his breath and continued to knock on the door: "Fu Xu? Are you okay? Open the door, we have something to talk about, okay?"

After a long time, the door finally opened a crack. Fu Xu stood behind the door, his face as pale as paper, but with a faint smile on his lips: "Mr. Shen, I... I didn't inject it." He held the tube of inhibitor in his hand, his fingertips still trembling, "I just wanted to... I wanted to see you again."

Chen Louchen looked at him, tears finally falling. He stepped forward and hugged Fu Xu tightly, so tightly that it seemed as if he wanted to rub him into his bones and blood. "Silly boy," he said through sobs, "don't do this again, do you hear me? Your life is important, more important than anything else."

Fu Xu leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and finally couldn't help crying. The grievances, fears, and inferiority that had been suppressed all night burst out at this moment.

He knew that he might never be worthy of Shen Louchen, and might never be able to become the perfect Omega by his side, but now he just wanted to live a good life and stay by Shen Louchen's side, even if it was just to watch from afar.

“Mr. Shen, if I die…”

——

Gu Wangyan almost used up all his strength to push Alpha into the car. Alpha's pupils almost turned purple, and he stared at Gu Wangyan fiercely.

"I know you hate me, but today's matter concerns my friend. Even if you want to find that omega again, you must find the inhibitor for me first." Gu Wangyan fastened the seat belt for the alpha and gritted his teeth to swallow a handful of inhibitor pills.

Maybe he shouldn't have forced this alpha into marriage, setting him free might be a joy.

Just as Gu Wangyan was about to start the car, Lin Yunzhou grabbed his wrist.

The phone was still vibrating. Gu Wangyan glanced and saw that it was a call from Chen Louchen, but Alpha didn't give him any chance and directly dragged him over.

"Look at me, damn!"
