Chapter 116
A disabled Omega?
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the sweet scent might have come from an Omega.
But why was the Omega here? Not only did he not hide his scent, but he was also surrounded by people... How did Xiu know that the Omega was disabled?
Shi Yu was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "How do you know?"
"Know what."
"Why did you say that Omega in front was disabled?"
Shigure jogged to catch up with him.
Xiu's face was impassive, and he didn't dodge or avoid the crowd. He even used his shoulder to push away a few people who tried to squeeze behind him. "You'll know by smelling it."
"No matter how special the pheromone is, an ordinary Omega wouldn't be so pungent."
"so what……?"
"That guy has a glandular problem, that's all."
After Xiu finished explaining with such care, Shi Yu only half-understood and said "Oh". Among the three types of the Federation, only A and O were sensitive to smell. Shi Yu only felt that the smell coming from the front was not right. Unexpectedly, after Xiu explained, Shi Yu realized that it was also possible to judge the other party's physical condition from the smell.
However, this seems to be the case for glandular sex. When Ed was conducting experiments, she had smelled an aggressive smell on Ed.
Speaking of which, I haven't contacted him for a long time. I wonder how Ed is doing now...
Xiu walked very fast. Shi Yu didn't dare to think too much and hurried to catch up.
The surroundings were very crowded, especially the stall she had just passed by, which was almost surrounded by people. Shi Yu vaguely saw a young man squatting inside, who seemed to be selling something. Due to height restrictions, she could not see the specific situation inside.
"Xiu..." Shigure asked curiously, "Did you see what that Omega was selling just now?"
After all, this place is different from her previous world. According to Shi Yu's understanding, all Omegas must be placed in local nursing homes for protection when they are minors, and even Omegas who have grown up and started families will not look for such a job that requires them to be in the spotlight and often come into contact with mixed Alphas.
Shi Yu thought, there were several Alphas in the crowd just now, so isn’t that Omega worried about his safety?
Xiu looked ahead and curled his lips: "It's better if you don't ask so many questions."
Shigure:?
"It can't be some contraband," she muttered, speculating quietly.
"cut tobacco."
After a pause, Xiu gave a brief answer.
Shi Yu was stunned. He didn't expect Xiu Zhen to give him an answer. He felt a little unbelievable and didn't notice the perfunctory tone in the other party's tone.
Nigul, a satellite planet of Sturga, is a region whose economy is driven by a prosperous trading market and numerous auction houses. Xiu originally thought that there was nothing wrong in bringing her to a formal market, but he didn't expect to encounter this common trap.
In a crowded market, a seemingly helpless Omega and a child are doing business here. Everyone knows that this Omega must have other purposes.
"...Then it seems like nothing?"
Shi Yu murmured in confusion, her voice still tinged with a childish nasal sound. Xiu snorted and laughed, thinking that she was just like an overly naive little girl.
"Whatever you think it is."
"Little Tail" was two steps behind, he said, slowing down his pace indifferently. When she caught up with him at a "click-click" trot, Xiucai continued forward without showing any emotion on his face.
The market was crowded and it took almost five minutes to walk twenty meters. As the sun grew hotter, Shi Yu no longer had the heart to walk any further and see the sights.
Fortunately, Xiu's shadow could block out some of the sun. Shi Yu was so hot that she fanned her cheeks with her palms and said to him, "Xiu, shall we go back? I can't do it anymore..."
Xiu said coldly that it didn't matter, so they walked in the direction they came from. At first, the crowd was crowded, but as the sun grew brighter, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually became less visible to the naked eye.
Shi Yu followed Xiu listlessly, sweating all over his head due to the heat, and his steps became slower and slower. When he looked up again, he found that Xiu had already walked very far away.
"Wait a moment……!"
Shi Yu hurriedly trotted two steps, but when her scattered eyes glanced at the side, she was stunned and stopped in a daze.
There were not many tourists at the market, the weather was hot, and most of the stall owners had packed up and left. The figure of the lonely young man sitting beside the stall with his head buried was particularly conspicuous.
Not far behind him, under the shade of a tree, there was a basket half covered with plastic sheeting. Shi Yu originally thought that it contained goods for sale, but unexpectedly, while he was distracted, he heard crying sounds coming from the basket.
The tender, small, carefree sobs of children suddenly pierced the air, sounding sharp and disturbing.
Shi Yu was very familiar with this crying sound—and it was more than just crying.
The memory of the date with Xiao was vivid and profound. Shi Yu pondered for a long time before she dug out his name from the corner of her memory, although the other party did not bring her many good memories.
When the boy heard the voice, he stood up with a wooden expression, lowered his head and wanted to turn around, completely ignoring Shi Yu in front of him. Shi Yu reacted when he saw that he was about to walk away, and called him in a low voice with some uncertainty.
"You are... Ivan?"
The nursery teacher who abandoned the baby in the nursing home had an inexplicable hostility towards her, but now she appeared here.
Ivan stopped.
His clothes were worn and faded, and beneath the wide sleeves that were obviously ill-fitting, one could faintly see his thin arms covered with bruises. Compared to what he looked like during that date, he looked shabby and thinner.
Shi Yu's nose twitched, and he once again smelled the strong, sweet smell of saccharin in the air, which Xiu described as "choking".
Ivan hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at her.
…
Xiu's face didn't look good.
He put his hands in his pockets and stood in the shade of a tree farther away from Shi Yu like a stray wolfhound, squinting his eyes as he looked at the Omega opposite her.
Shi Yu didn't pay attention to him. She was following Ivan at the moment, watching the young boy with mixed feelings as he squatted down, took out a feeder from a pile of messy objects, made a dose of nutritional powder, shook it well, and then picked up the crying baby in the basket to feed him without any expression.
"Um...why are you here?"
Shi Yu hesitated, carefully watching his expression, and asked.
Ivan didn't answer at first. He stared blankly at the baby in his arms for a while. He moved his lips and said hoarsely, "I'm not an adult yet. I can do business here."
"The capital planet is very strict. York and I will starve to death there."
Shi Yu was a little speechless: "No, I mean... aren't you taking care of the children in the orphanage? What happened that made you--"
"Someone in the nursing home is sick again, and the subsidies are not enough, so they are planning to give up York."
The young man looked up at her, his eyes silent, completely devoid of the anger and vigor he had the last time she saw him.
"I'm his caregiver. I'm bringing him out to see if there's any other way to save him. Is that a problem?"
Shi Yu looked at him for a moment, then lowered his eyes in panic and looked at York in his arms.
The child's face was red, as if he had been stuck in the basket for too long. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he was still energetic. He held the bottle and drank the nutritional supplement in big gulps.
Although Ivan looked much more haggard and dejected, York had a round face and was obviously well taken care of. He was already ten months old, and his eyebrows and eyes had opened a little, making him look more lively and cute than before.
"So, how about trying to adopt York out?"
Shi Yu regretted what she said right after she finished speaking. Ivan laughed, which was clearly mocking, as if telling her that only a mentally ill adoptive parent would take home an unhealthy child.
Shi Yu's face flushed slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said awkwardly, "Then... do you need anything?"
"I can help a little, maybe."
Ivan said in a flat tone, "Can you take York home?"
"……Feel sorry."
"Oh." The boy asked casually, and he didn't mind getting a negative answer. It seemed that he just found it funny to see her embarrassed.
He held York in his arms and looked back at the Alpha who was waiting for her in the distance. Although he was wearing a simple suit, Ivan felt that the material of the suit must not be cheap. He was tall and had a good-looking face. He didn't come over to lecture him. He was much better than the Alpha he saw a few months ago.
He was taking advantage of others anyway, so he shrugged and softened his tone: "It doesn't matter to me, but if you can get anything, bring York what he needs."
"Well, I'll go back and take a look."
As soon as Shi Yu agreed, she nervously calculated in her mind how much money was left in the balance. She didn't want to owe Sturga anything, and she didn't even consider asking Noah or Xiu to help her solve the problem.
York was the child that Xiao and he had rescued. Shi Yu had a special feeling for the baby and didn't think there was anything wrong with giving him some milk powder and clothes. Besides, the child's guardian, Ivan, was still a minor. Although they had unpleasant memories, Shi Yu still felt soft-hearted when he saw his current appearance.
She wanted to help them as much as possible within her ability.
Ivan glanced at her, a little surprised at her straightforwardness.
Just then he finished feeding York. He put the baby down and inadvertently straightened his sleeves. The Omega opposite him was startled, obviously seeing his clothes that were so tattered that they were barely enough to wrap himself.
"I'll go check out the store later..." Shi Yu pursed her lips and said in a low, embarrassed voice, "If I see anything you need or can use, I'll try to bring more."
"Thank you very much."
Ivan was satisfied and finally smiled at her.
Ivan wouldn't set up a stall here every day. After getting his address, Shi Yu followed Xiu back with a worried look on his face.
After getting in the car, Shi Yu was holding a tablet and searching for baby supplies. Xiu put his hands on the steering wheel with a cold face, tapped his fingertips twice, and asked in a bad tone: "Are you going to that Omega's house to give him something tomorrow?"
"Did you hear that?"
Shi Yu looked up at him in surprise, as if he hadn't expected him to hear their conversation from such a distance. Then he lowered his head to look at the tablet again, "Yeah, he's someone I know..."
Before he could finish his words, Shigure looked up again, his eyes wide in surprise, and he stammered, "Eh, eh, what Omega?"
Xiu curled his lips, not at all surprised by her slow observation.
"He's the Omega who was surrounded just now, the one selling tobacco."
"But... that's not right? I remember Ivan was supposed to be Beta."
Shi Yu recalled that he did remember smelling a saccharin-like smell on Ivan just now.
But if he differentiated into an Omega, he should still be in the nursing home, and he would be strictly protected and sent to a better nursing home. Why would he be so desperate and run here?
Most people's sexual characteristics are determined between the ages of 8 and 12. No matter how young Ivan looks, he is definitely over 14. However, Shi Yu thought about it and found that there are exceptions. He and Ed differentiated at the ages of 16 and 17 respectively. Then Ivan should also be one of those who differentiated particularly late... right?
"When was the last time you saw him?" Xiu asked.
"Uh, just a few months ago?"
Xiu frowned and held the steering wheel, as if he had made up his mind, "Don't send the things."
"No... The child that Ivan is carrying, a friend of mine and I once saved him."
Shi Yu didn't quite understand why Xiu suddenly showed such a cold attitude, and hesitantly explained to him, "He is sick now, and his living conditions are not good. I am worried about him. If my friend were here, he would also choose to help him."
Xiu said in a cold tone: "You have already saved him once, there is no need to use your extra sympathy again."
Shi Yu clutched the necklace on his chest and shook his head lightly.
Xiu raised his eyes and saw the girl's expression in the rearview mirror, but said nothing more.
Konoha's professional instinct told him that there was something strange and unusual about this. Contact with an Omega of unknown origin, whose differentiation was unknown, would only lead to a lot of trouble. Xiu wanted to sneer coldly and warn her to put away her kindness. He didn't intend to accompany her in doing such a boring thing. However, when those cold brown eyes looked at the rearview mirror again, the girl's nervous and cautious expression came into view.
Shi Yu hugged the tablet and cautiously glanced at the rearview mirror, trying to observe Xiu's expression. Unexpectedly, she met his gaze, and she immediately lowered her head with a red face, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
Xiu Chenning's frown relaxed slightly.
"Whatever you want," he said coldly, "Get up early tomorrow morning and don't waste time."
