Chapter 30 [VIP]

Alphas' susceptible period usually lasts three to five days. Normally, Alphas will lose consciousness during this period. If they do not receive inhibitors and rely solely on their willpower, they will not be able to stay conscious through the susceptible period.

According to relevant records, during the susceptible period, the Alpha brain is completely controlled by pheromones, and its mind can only hold markings, nothing else.

Inhibitors can effectively suppress the extra pheromones released by Alphas during their susceptible period and can also suppress their libido to some extent.

The above is the information Pei Xingzhi found regarding the Alpha susceptibility period.

Xie Nanyi was an exception. With his condition stable, he seemed to be no different from usual for the next few days, except when he was unable to control his pheromones at the beginning of his susceptible period.

Of course, his stable condition was a distant memory from many years ago. Before meeting Pei Xingzhi, he had spent his vulnerable periods in solitary confinement.

Yesterday's memories were too chaotic; Xie Nanyi couldn't remember what she had done to Pei Xingzhi at all. When she asked Pei Xingzhi, he also gave vague answers and refused to explain clearly.

Although Pei Xingzhi didn't answer, the strong pheromones emanating from him spoke volumes. Xie Nanyi pounded her forehead with her right hand, cursing her past self under her breath.

His condition had finally stabilized once, but this first day of uncontrollable loss of control almost completely marked Pei Xingzhi.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but Xie Xu'an had to come looking for trouble again yesterday...

Thinking of this, Xie Nanyi lowered her head and pulled out the box from under the bed.

He needs to get rid of these things that have ruined his reputation as soon as possible.

Assistant Qin is a typical romantic, and the packaging for the props is the most exquisite. Each prop fits perfectly in its proper place; if you disregard the function of the items inside, you might mistake the box for a collector's box.

Xie Nanyi picked up the cat paw swatter; it wasn't large, but it felt quite heavy in his hand. He swatted it on his arm with a bit of force, and a red mark quickly appeared where the swatter landed.

Xie Nanyi looked at the red mark with a slight sense of regret. He had thought he could make a cat paw print, but it turned out he was overthinking it.

"Xie Nanyi, you..." Pei Xingzhi's voice stopped abruptly after seeing Xie Nanyi's actions.

His right hand was still in the motion of knocking on the door, suspended in mid-air, but he wished he could travel 800 meters per second and leave Xie Nanyi's crime scene immediately.

"I..." Pei Xingzhi struggled to find his voice, uttering dry syllables. "I'm leaving now, you continue!"

Pei Xingzhi turned around deftly and ran back to his room in a few steps.

After closing the door to the room, Pei Xingzhi covered his cheek and let out a deep breath.

It was Xie Nanyi who was doing that kind of thing, so why is he the one who's embarrassed? No matter how you look at it, it's Xie Nanyi's fault for not closing the door.

After his internal struggle ended, Pei Xingzhi calmed down and remembered why he had gone to see Xie Nanyi earlier.

Normally, an Alpha should receive at least three injections of inhibitors per day during their susceptible period. Although Xie Nanyi is not a normal Alpha, it is clear that the one injection he received yesterday was definitely not enough to help him get through the next few days.

Pei Xingzhi's only source of information about Xie Nanyi was Assistant Qin, and now that Assistant Qin had been dismissed by Xie Nanyi, he couldn't even mention her in front of her. Left with no other option, Pei Xingzhi could only inquire about Xie Nanyi's health from Uncle Li. Out of professional ethics as a doctor, Uncle Li only answered some unimportant questions, but fortunately, he managed to find out the types of inhibitors available to him.

The inhibitor Xie Nanyi used was a controlled substance, which Pei Xingzhi naturally couldn't obtain in a short time. Since effective ones were unavailable, and the inhibitors available on the market were all roughly the same in effect for Xie Nanyi, Pei Xingzhi chose one with a good reputation and bought it.

It's better to be of little use than to be completely useless.

He had put in a lot of effort to coax her to sleep last night, and thought she would sleep in a little longer this morning. But he didn't expect that Xie Nanyi would start playing by herself after he had only been gone for a short while.

Pei Xingzhi patted his burning face to stop his terrible fantasies, then turned on his device and sent a message to Xie Nanyi.

[Sweetheart Bunny]: Can I go over now?

[N1]: Yes.

Having received an affirmative answer, Pei Xingzhi took the inhibitor and embarked on another awkward journey. Fortunately, this time Xie Nanyi sat quietly on the bed waiting for him.

“I’ve brought you some inhibitors,” Pei Xingzhi said, handing over the bag and taking out the inhibitors one by one and placing them in front of Xie Nanyi. “I don’t know which one you usually use. The one I injected you with yesterday only had a syringe, so I couldn’t tell what brand it was. I just bought a few random ones. You can make do with them.”

"Thank you," Xie Nanyi replied politely with a faint smile.

Pei Xingzhi was momentarily stunned by Xie Nanyi's polite reply. In his memory, Xie Nanyi was like a rogue, wanting to stick by his side every moment. Apart from the pretense of the first few days, she had almost never been so polite and distant. He had long been used to Xie Nanyi's shamelessness, and now he really didn't know how to answer.

"You...do Alphas's susceptible periods also change their personalities?" Pei Xingzhi looked at him with a serious expression, his face showing only earnest academic inquiry. "Although my major isn't here, I don't think I've ever heard of such a case before. Could it be...I'm going to become the first person to do this? Then I can win an award!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi thought he was speaking very quietly, but no matter how quiet he spoke, it couldn't escape the ears of a high-quality Alpha.

Xie Nanyi's slightly upturned lips became noticeably distorted, and after enduring it for a few seconds, she could no longer maintain the act.

He was worried that his behavior yesterday might have left Pei Xingzhi with psychological trauma, so this morning after Pei Xingzhi left, he specifically consulted a psychologist and was told to keep an appropriate distance from Pei Xingzhi to help him relax.

As a result, his plan failed before it could be implemented due to a single sentence from Pei Xingzhi.

He looked up at the boy in front of him, who was resting his chin on his hand and whose eyes were darting around. He looked like he was full of cunning, but his every move also revealed how innocent the person in front of him was.

When Pei Xingzhi saw him looking over, he felt a little guilty and subconsciously grinned at him, his playful canine teeth making his handsome face look even more adorable. Xie Nanyi looked at his face and suddenly felt much more at ease.

He always projected his own views onto Pei Xingzhi, thinking of Pei Xingzhi as too fragile; the word "Pei Xingzhi" doesn't fit.

He is radiant.

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden? It's creepy." To Pei Xingzhi, Xie Nanyi's sensitive period was just a minor episode in the mundane routine. It was just a sudden touch from her sensitive period, which was no different from being licked by a cat or dog downstairs. Naturally, he couldn't imagine the complicated thoughts in Xie Nanyi's mind.

"Xiao Zhi, you are so beautiful." Xie Nanyi stared at Pei Xingzhi and exclaimed sincerely.

"Are you sick?" Xie Nanyi's words made Pei Xingzhi jump up and take a few steps back. Seeing that Xie Nanyi had returned to normal, Pei Xingzhi crossed his arms, stepped forward, opened a vial of the inhibitor he had just laid out, and handed it to Xie Nanyi for injection. "Don't say such disgusting things, they're giving me goosebumps."

"These inhibitors all have similar effects. The one you had last time was too late. Even if this one doesn't work well, you should still get one to tide you over for a while. You can always have your assistant bring you a new one later. But why did you fire Assistant Qin? I think he's a really nice guy, efficient, and handsome..."

Pei Xingzhi had a knack for ruining the mood; Xie Nanyi's budding romantic feelings were completely destroyed by his address of "Assistant Qin."

He hasn't even settled the score with Assistant Qin for what happened under his bed, and now this is adding another one to the list. This Assistant Qin is definitely not someone he can keep around.

"Assistant Qin is too ugly, so I don't want to keep him." Xie Nanyi took the inhibitor Pei Xingzhi handed her and put it aside. She grabbed his hand, which he hadn't yet withdrawn, and pulled him onto her lap. Her right hand was still resting on Pei Xingzhi's waist, groping him inappropriately.

Pei Xingzhi grabbed the hand that was messing around his waist and tried to get up, but Xie Nanyi's other hand pressed him firmly on his leg.

"Wait a minute before injecting, let me hold you for a little while, just a little while."

Xie Nanyi, who was in his vulnerable period, had a special exemption from Pei Xingzhi's care. Pei Xingzhi patted his back gently and let him hug him as he pleased, unusually not slapping him as he usually did.

"Not ugly at all. I think Assistant Qin is quite handsome. Although he's a Beta, his physique is better than your Alpha lackeys." Pei Xingzhi physically agreed, but he still had to say a few things to make Xie Nanyi unhappy. He noticed a strange sourness in Xie Nanyi's tone, so he deliberately talked back to her.

"Where is he handsome? Is his physique as good as mine? Is he as good-looking as me? Is he richer than me?" Xie Nanyi didn't know what was wrong with her today. Normally, she would never be provoked by Pei Xingzhi's deliberate words, but today she couldn't help but retort.

Pei Xingzhi couldn't help but find his words amusing, so he deliberately pinched his nose and whispered in his ear, "Can you smell it? It smells so sour."

"You can smell it?" Xie Nanyi felt a heat in his ear and suddenly turned his head to look at Pei Xingzhi to the side. Pei Xingzhi was not paying attention, and his lips brushed against the tip of his nose.

Pei Xingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned back slightly as if to cover it up. He coughed lightly and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Smell what? Do you even need to smell it? I can hear the sourness in your words without even having to think about it."

It turned out to be just his tone of voice.

Xie Nanyi's eyes darkened. What was wrong with him to think that Pei Xingzhi's words meant he had smelled his pheromones?

"oh."

"What 'oh'? You're always like a lemon, I feel sour just being near you. Let go of me, I need to catch up on my homework. I've fallen behind in my studies because I've been spending all this time with you doing these silly things. If I get punished by the teacher for not finishing my homework, you'll be the first one I hold accountable!"

Pei Xingzhi didn't know if this was a common problem for Alphas during their sensitive period, but Xie Nanyi's emotional changes were extremely strange today. In just over ten minutes, he sensed three or four different emotions in Xie Nanyi.

He refused to take the suppressants, and who knew what other outbursts he might have? He could barely handle the current symptoms, but if yesterday's "evil" Xie Nanyi reappeared, he couldn't guarantee anything. To ensure his own safety, he needed to leave before Xie Nanyi went berserk.

"You can do your homework later. Aren't you curious about what I was doing when you came in?"
