Chapter 37
Shi Yu was stunned when he heard what Ed said.
Susu ran to Ed's holographic cabin one step slower than her. The other Omegas seemed to have noticed Ed's situation here and were about to come over with worried expressions. Shi Yu looked at the young man in front of him who had restrained his expression, and a hint of confusion and panic flashed in his eyes.
"...Would you like to stand up first?"
Shi Yu reached out to Ed with a blank mind, her voice trembling slightly. She barely managed to calm herself down, telling herself not to show any abnormality now.
Ed closed his eyes slightly, sweat dripping down his chin. Shi Yu felt that he probably didn't have much strength now, so he just went forward and grasped the boy's slender wrist. His skin was hot and moist. When he was suddenly touched, Shi Yu felt the nerves in the skin under his hand were trembling tensely.
Ed lowered his eyelashes, obeyed Shi Yu's pitiful strength, and stood up with his other arm holding the edge of the holographic cabin.
"Ed, are you okay?" Su Su, who was already beside Shi Yu, noticed that Ed looked unwell and asked with concern, "Did you over-exert your mental energy? Do you want to see a doctor?"
She wanted to come over to help Shi Yu, but then she saw Ed brush Shi Yu's hand away with a pale expression and said politely, "No need to help."
The Omegas gathered around, and Olsen followed his students over. He glanced at Ed twice, his expression of emotion turning into confusion. He asked, "What's wrong? If you feel unwell, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Ed replied calmly, "Nothing... not to the point of mental exhaustion."
"That was a good fight," Olsen said with a smile, his tone filled with admiration. "That was a really good fight! This is the first time I've been beaten like that. Go back and rest now. If you need any help when you get back, just let me know."
Due to the limitation of his mental power, Olsen, as a Beta, would feel tired within two hours of driving the mecha. Although the mental power limit of Omega was the lowest among the three sexes, the consumption of a mecha battle within ten minutes was not a problem for them - provided that Omega knew how to fight.
Ed had already cleaned up the smell, and Olson had no suspicions. As Olson spoke, the Omegas expressed their gratitude to Ed and Shigure and the others, and gently and shyly praised Ed's mecha skills. Olson couldn't help but blush and coughed lightly, "Hey, that's almost done."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Ed had been standing there quietly. Shi Yu stared at his back worriedly. She kept thinking about what Ed had just said... Shi Yu knew what those two words meant. She had experienced that kind of helpless state and could definitely understand how uncomfortable Ed was at the moment.
"Teacher Ed." Enduring the fear brought by the crowd's gaze, Shi Yu raised her voice slightly and said to Ed with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I will take you back to rest first. You still have experiments in the afternoon..."
The conversation among the people around quieted down a bit.
Ed frowned slightly, suppressed his slightly rapid breath, and said "hmm" in a short and cold voice.
Everyone in the Applied Math class was just a little excited, with no ill intentions. The gentle and friendly Omegas quickly urged Ed to go and rest. A few Omegas wanted to take Ed back to the dorm, but Olsen stopped them and said in a non-stern tone, "Ed has his own students to care about. He's feeling down right now. Don't bother them now."
...Shigure walked to Ed's side, his drooping green eyes seemed a little dazed and misty. The boy paused slightly and said thank you, and it was unclear whether he was talking to Olsen or to the Omegas out of kindness.
When they left the math and science application class, Su Su said, "I'll give you a ride too, Ed. You're really worrying me."
Ed was silent for a moment, his expression and attitude looking very indifferent. Su Su didn't get an answer but was not angry. She could only say helplessly, "Okay, okay, but don't keep trying to be so stubborn. Shi Yu is in the same dormitory with you. Remember to ask her to take care of you if anything happens."
Ed then lowered his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No need to send me off, thank you."
Susu:?
Su Su was bewildered by the irrelevant questions and answers. She looked at Shi Yu in confusion. Shi Yu showed a trace of confusion on his face. She probably knew that Ed's consciousness was very vague now, and during this period... he would become slow to react.
"I think he really needs a break."
Seeing Ed's expression, Su Su roughly understood that he was not in good condition at the moment. She instructed Shi Yu, "Then I'll leave Ed to you. If you have any questions, just call me on video."
After Susu left, Shi Yu was left alone. She hesitated and looked at Ed.
As if feeling her gaze, the young man tilted his head slightly, and his long, dense eyelashes trembled slightly. His beautiful emerald eyes, which were usually covered with a layer of cold rain, now seemed to be melted by the heat of his body, and looked a little soft and dazed.
Everyone must have been present just now, so Ed needed to be more independent for a while... Shi Yu paused and asked tentatively, "Then I helped you... Sensei?"
Ed looked at her quietly, and when the rain touched his fair and slender arms, the boy did not refuse.
Although Shi Yu knew that physical contact between Omegas was fine, the male's broad and long bones and high body temperature still put some pressure on Shi Yu. Shi Yu knew that her strength was limited, so she gritted her teeth and tried to hold Ed's arms tighter. So when they helped Ed up, both of them stumbled like drunks.
Ed's arms stiffened. He took a deep breath and said, "Be normal."
Feeling guilty about causing trouble for him at this time, Shi Yu said, "...Okay."
Fortunately, it was past mealtime and there were not many people along the way. Shiyu and Ed stumbled to the bottom of the dormitory building. Because he was dizzy and his body was shaking unsteadily, Ed asked Shiyu to let her go and he walked to the second floor by holding the wall.
Shi Yu followed carefully behind him to watch over him. The silver-haired and pale-eyed boy closed his eyes and gasped. He was sweating more and more and his vision could not focus. When he walked into the second floor and was only one step away from his dormitory building, Ed's knees suddenly weakened.
"Teacher Ed!"
Shi Yu was startled. Ed half-knelt against the wall, narrowing his green eyes in forbearance. The Omega ran to him and asked anxiously: "Ed, tell me the dormitory password first, I'll help you open the door!"
...The young man's emerald eyes were a little dazed, and he thought about it unconsciously.
"Don't tell anyone." Ed closed his green eyes, whispered a few numbers, and then told her with a slight gasp, "You can't... just come in."
Shi Yu hurried over and entered the password, then turned around and helped Ed up. She hurriedly promised, "I'll just come in now. You can change the password later. I will never disturb you."
Ed didn't say anything. The girl helped her neighbor into the dormitory with difficulty, and then put him on the bed in the dormitory. Finally, there was a space for Ed to rest. Shi Yu couldn't help but stand up with relief, and then noticed the surrounding environment.
The style of Ed's dormitory is rational and simple, and it should be designed by him. The small space is planned to accommodate two bookcases and a small laboratory table. Apart from the single bed in front of him, the entire dormitory seems to have no furniture.
"Ed." Shi Yu asked him softly, "Do you need me to help you with anything else?"
Ed still looked weak and strained. The silver-haired, pale-eyed youth restrained his breathing, his pale face looking as if he were enduring some excruciating pain. He clenched the bedsheets beneath his hands, his long, slender fingers revealing their joints. His emerald eyes gazed warmly into Shigure's.
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now." Ed calmly suppressed the embarrassment in his voice and said, "You don't have to do anything for me anymore. I don't have classes tomorrow and the next few days. I will adjust."
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment.
"But..." she said, "What will you do if I go back, teacher?"
“…”
Ed raised his eyes and stared at the black-haired Omega.
The boy thought expressionlessly, what does she want to do by staying here?
The air was sticky, damp, and cold. Ed's body trembled uncontrollably, a fine sheen of sweat covering his fair, delicate skin. He had used numerous medications to suppress estrus this year, and it had been four months since he'd experienced one. He'd discarded all the suppressants long ago. Now, as if his body were taking revenge, Ed Sturga's reaction was more intense than ever.
His endurance, which should have been strong, was constantly challenged by the fierce backlash, and the Omega with a sweet scent walked towards him sincerely, and every step was like a secret invitation.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Ed's thoughts were slightly scattered. He remained silent and did not say anything to stop Shi Yu from approaching.
"...Teacher Ed."
The Omega called him softly, "I'll go to the cafeteria and get you some food. If you want to rest, you can take a nap. I have some spare potions there. I'll get them for you later."
The ward in the Omega Nursing Home serves the Omegas here. The two doctors who took care of Shi Yu before had told her that she could apply for various harmless and commonly used medicines here for free. The medicine that can suppress the state of passion is a common one. The doctor also prepared some for her in advance and placed it in Shi Yu's cabinet.
Shi Yu didn't think much about it. Treating the disease according to its symptoms was a normal thing for her. Unexpectedly, Ed frowned slightly and refused coldly and directly: "Don't give me that thing."
Shi Yu was a little stunned by Ed's tone. That was a medicine that could relieve the heat of passion? Shi Yu felt that there was no way he didn't know.
Not wanting to be discovered means not going to the hospital. Now Ed doesn't even want to use inhibitors. Does he plan to just... endure it?
Shi Yu felt that this was not acceptable. She had also been forced to experience the discomfort of the passionate period. Shi Yu racked her brains to think of how to persuade Ed, but the boy seemed to see through her plan. With a disordered voice, he said coldly, "Anyway, I don't need it. You go back first."
Shi Yu was kicked out of the door with a shaken look on his face.
——In fact, he walked out very consciously. Ed now had no strength to stand up. For Ed's health, he would decide whether to use inhibitors or not. Shi Yu planned to run to the cafeteria to bring some food to the teacher first.
The patient's taste was light, so Shi Yu brought Ed some porridge and a few simple pastries. She remembered the password to Ed's room, so she returned to the second floor of the dormitory. After entering her neighbor's code, Shi Yu carefully opened the door. Ed lay on his side in bed, his beautiful, pale face turned away from Shi Yu. It was unclear whether he was asleep or not.
Shi Yu avoided the test tubes on the laboratory table, put down the food, and then said softly and apologetically: "I didn't mean to disturb you... I brought you something to eat, Ed, and I'll be out soon."
The boy turned his back to her silently. Shi Yu pursed her lips and quietly walked out of the room again.
After coming out of Ed's room, Shi Yu couldn't concentrate on anything the whole afternoon. She didn't do much math problems, but she wandered back and forth to the neighbor's door many times. She was very worried about Ed's condition. She was accidentally seen by Angus who came down from the third floor after going out for class in the afternoon. He asked her if she had any troubles.
Finally, it was dinner time. Shi Yu brought the mung bean soup she brought for Ed and some food she picked for herself, and came to Ed's room as if she was familiar with the place. When she saw the porridge and noodles lying motionless on the laboratory table, she was stunned.
But Shi Yu didn't say anything. After cleaning up the cold porridge and putting the mung bean soup back on the laboratory table, she came to Ed's bed.
Shi Yu reminded him worriedly, "Teacher Ed, remember to eat something."
Ed seemed completely inattentive to anything else. His face, still slumbering, looked tired and still. He hadn't even changed out of the shirt and black pants he'd worn to class that morning. His untidy collar revealed his delicate collarbone, and beads of sweat trembled on his skin, exposed to the slightly chilly air. Shi Yu hesitated, then touched the teacher's forehead, finding it still hot...
Ed's brows were slightly frowned, and hot breath lingered in his nostrils. When Shi Yu's palm covered his wet forehead, the boy hummed in a low and hoarse voice. Shi Yu thought that the teacher had discovered it, so he quickly withdrew his hand and squatted down, looking at Ed. He didn't seem to show any signs of waking up.
An idea that might offend Ed suddenly came to Shi Yu's mind. She didn't hesitate much. Although her teacher didn't look like someone who would accept being fed by others, the other person's body was the most important.
Shi Yu stood up, went to the laboratory table to get back the mung bean soup and a little easy-to-eat pastry, then squatted beside Ed's bed, tried to dip a spoon in the soup, and brought it to Ed's dry and white lips.
Perhaps because he was a little hot, Ed kept panting in his sleep. His slightly open lips made it convenient for Shi Yu to feed him secretly. The boy's lips were very light in color, and the soup moistened his slightly chapped lips, giving them the illusion of being moist and shiny.
For some reason, Shi Yu was stunned and his hand trembled. A lot of the mung bean soup that he was about to put into Ed's mouth spilled out and flowed between his jaw and neck.
...Shi Yu's face was steaming. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Ed's face silently. The boy's skin turned red from Shi Yu's touch. His bony fingers curled up and tightened. Shi Yu tried hard to ignore the other party's sensitive reaction.
Feeding this dinner was extremely painful for Shi Yu. After completing the task, Shi Yu's hands were shaking. She stood up, and the soreness and numbness in her calves rushed to the nerves in her brain, and Shi Yu almost fell down.
She limped quickly, packed up her things, and almost ran out of Ed's room.
——After returning to the room for a long time, Shi Yu still couldn’t calm down.
She patted her face and took a deep breath to adjust her inner emotions. The general still had to accompany her for a physical examination tomorrow... Shi Yu thought about it, opened the tablet and checked the time again.
The physical exam starts at nine in the morning. Tomorrow is the Omegas' day off, which is great! She still has time to feed Ed breakfast.
Shi Yu set the alarm on her tablet for 6:30, and then fell asleep with worry. She usually had a regular sleep schedule, so it was not difficult for her to get up the next day.
Shi Yu was one of the first to arrive at the cafeteria. Just like yesterday, she picked out some easy-to-swallow liquid food for Ed. This time, when feeding her teacher, Shi Yu was already more experienced. At least she was mentally prepared to avoid accidentally disturbing any part of Ed's body...
He calmly fed a small bowl of porridge into the boy's slightly open lips. The silver-haired and gray-eyed boy had slightly wet lips, and was still sleeping soundly. Although he usually looked indifferent and arrogant, Shi Yu secretly felt that Ed now looked unexpectedly obedient.
——But Shigure absolutely dared not say it out loud. When the teacher woke up, Shigure would have to find a way to justify his behavior of feeding without consent...
Around nine o'clock, the two doctors who had been caring for Shi Yu in the ward arrived at the dormitory building to take her for a checkup. Shi Yu temporarily suppressed her worry about Ed, calmed herself down, and decided to complete the tasks assigned by the general first.
"Those on the other side are from the protection organization. Don't be nervous when they ask you questions. The general is there, so they won't go too far."
The Beta female doctor named Lin Yin whispered to her, "With the general here, what happened last time won't happen again."
Shi Yu nodded, and the doctors took her to the ward in the nursing home. There were many machines here that Shi Yu had never seen before during her physical examinations, and many unfamiliar doctors in masks and gowns were there. Because they were so gentle with Shi Yu, and because two familiar doctors were with her during the physical examination, Shi Yu didn't feel nervous.
…Blood was drawn, and he entered the medical examination room. Each step was completed quickly. An hour and a half later, Shi Yu was led by Doctor Lin Yin into a conference room. A huge, thick glass partitioned the two ends of the conference room. Shi Yu followed the doctor to the glass, and then his eyes lit up. He happily shouted to the other side, "General!"
The general's posture was majestic and cold. Opposite him, a man in a suit with a badge on his chest said, "Because of you, we internally agreed to send this Omega for treatment without going through any examination or procedures..." He paused, interrupted by Admiral Heinrich's averted gaze.
The general nodded to Shigure with a gentle expression: "Shigure."
Shi Yu laughed, she adjusted her dress shyly, and sat back in the seat in front of the glass.
The man in a suit coughed lightly and temporarily stopped communicating with the general. He turned to Shi Yu and showed a relatively gentle expression. Although there was a confrontational atmosphere between him and the general just now, Shi Yu could feel that his expression and attitude were very sincere.
He asked, "Your name is Shigure, right? Hello, I'm Rona, a staff member of the Omega Protection Organization. The purpose of my visit is to ask some questions about your health."
Shi Yu nodded in confusion and began to answer Rona's questions. His questions were very common, such as whether there were any changes or abnormalities in the glands at the back of her neck and her mentality recently. Shi Yu didn't feel anything, so she answered them honestly one by one as usual.
Unconsciously, Shi Yu's thoughts had drifted to Ed who was far away in the dormitory. Almost two hours had passed since the physical examination... It was almost time for lunch.
——"So, Wayne Clement, did you engage in compulsive marking?"
Rona asked.
Shi Yu was still in a daze. When she heard the voice, the girl's black eyes were slightly confused, as if she had reflected the meaning of the words. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes wide like a frightened cat.
"No!" Shi Yu denied in panic, "I agreed, and Wayne was not forced. Why did you..." ask this.
She hadn't heard Wayne's name for a long time. When she first came to the nursing home, Shi Yu dreamed about Wayne. She had thought about asking General Wayne about his recent situation several times, but she knew in her heart that since the general had provided her with such a gentle shelter, he would not want her to mention the past.
However, however... all those thoughts that had been constantly alerting him seemed to have been forgotten. Shi Yu looked at the general and Rona opposite him hesitantly and said, "Wayne, Wayne..."
Omega's emotions were surging. Seeing Rona's pleading eyes, the general calmly told Shigure, "Shigure, Wayne is still in the military academy. He's doing fine."
"Um……"
Shi Yu's voice trembled slightly at the end of her words. She was easily soothed by these words. Then the girl lowered her furry head and stared at her knees, thinking - Wayne is fine, Shi Yu told herself, that's good...
Because of this incident, Rona didn't ask similar questions again. The Omega's mood had become very low, and his expression seemed increasingly absent-minded. After about twenty minutes, when all the tasks assigned by the organization were completed, Rona immediately stopped questioning with resigned confidence. "All questions are over. Thank you for your hard work, Shigure."
"Thank you for your help. I'll take my leave, General Heinrich." Rona stood up, took the recording terminal, and politely said goodbye to the general. "I hope you can consider what I just mentioned when you have some free time."
"I'll think about it," the general said.
Rona was then escorted from the other side of the conference room by staff. General Heinrich raised his wrist, his calm, cold grey eyes scanning the message coming from the terminal. He flicked off the student's message and remained silent for a moment.
He and Shigure were the only two people left in the conference room. However, the Omega girl who had been looking forward to meeting the general fell silent.
"Shigure," the general asked after waiting a moment, "Do you need to rest for a while?"
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn't look up, but asked the general in a confused voice: "Before... you said that an officer would come after the physical examination."
"You are very tired now. If you don't rest, your mood may be affected, which is not what I want to see."
The general's tone remained the same gentle one he always used to comfort her...but Shiyu felt that the general she had seen in videos before was very different from the real general. The Alpha, with his gray hair and gray eyes, stood tall before Shiyu, his posture erect and his demeanor solemn and majestic. Through the glass, Shiyu didn't even dare to look directly at the general. She flinched, as if facing a stern frost wolf.
"The visiting time has been changed to the afternoon. I will ask Lin Yin to inform you of the specific time later. You can go have lunch now, Shi Yu."
The general told her gently, "See you this afternoon, then."
…
In fact, Shi Yu was also looking forward to such an arrangement. She had always been concerned about Ed's health. Being able to arrive on time for lunch, Shi Yu felt a little relieved.
Lin Yin and another Beta male doctor who was taking care of her took her to the restaurant. After the meal, they took her back to the dormitory building in a hovercraft. Shi Yu politely said goodbye to them. Before leaving, Doctor Lin Yin reminded her, "Remember to pay attention to the news on the tablet."
Shigure nodded.
She carried her own food and the fish porridge for Ed, walked up the stairs, and skillfully entered the password to Ed's room again.
When he opened the door, Shi Yu was a little absent-minded.
The sour smell of lemon in the room was so strong that it filled the entire room. The restless smell startled Shi Yu. He quickly put down the food in his hand on the laboratory table and came over to squat beside Ed's bed.
The young boy's thin body curled up on the bed in unbearable pain, sweat soaking his silver hair and shirt collar. Shi Yu saw the teacher's beautiful, clear, green eyes slightly half-opened, looking at Shi Yu with difficulty and absent-mindedness. His light-colored lips were bitten by himself, leaving bright red teeth marks, and his smooth skin was full of sickly flush.
"Ed!" Shi Yu was startled by his appearance. She didn't dare touch Ed's body, so she called him in a low voice nervously: "Teacher Ed? Ed, can you hear me? You should go to the hospital. You can't delay any longer."
Shi Yu was not going to obey Ed's will anymore. As she spoke, she stood up anxiously. However, when she was halfway up, she saw Ed frowning, and his pale and delicate lips opened and closed slightly.
The teacher said...what?
Shi Yu was so confused that she didn't hear clearly. She looked at Ed on the bed, hesitantly moved closer, and asked, "Ed...?"
Shi Yu felt a burning pull on her arm and felt dizzy. Before she could react, she was pulled into the lemon-scented embrace.
The silver-haired and pale-eyed boy was panting, his slender white arms tightly climbing up Shi Yu's shoulders and neck. His skin was continuously emitting an unbearable heat, as if the coolness of Shi Yu's body made him feel refreshed, and his brows finally relaxed.
Shi Yu lay on top of Ed, her face full of horror. She had never expected that her neighbor had so much strength to attack her. After being stunned for a long time, Shi Yu finally realized what was happening and began to struggle.
"Don't move." Ed raised his sweaty chin and whispered hoarsely, "Let me hold you for a moment."
With a heavy force pressing down on the girl's shoulders, he easily held the soft and sweet Omega, and the tip of his teeth pressed threateningly against Shigure's fragile neck. She immediately trembled with instinct.
Shi Yu trembled, and pressed his hands hard on the other's thin chest to express his rejection, but it seemed to be of no use - wait, is he going to do the same thing as Wayne?
Shi Yu was on the verge of tears. She had never imagined that she would once again face such a situation of being suppressed by a boy. How could it turn out like this?
She grabbed Ed's clothes and pleaded with him, "Teacher Ed, wake up. You have to go to the hospital."
"What do you have..." Ed ignored her. The boy slightly closed his green eyes. His slender collarbone and skin with fingerprints were revealed under the collar that was torn by Shi Yu.
He asked intermittently, "Is there anything... you want, or someone you want to see?"
Shi Yu's movements suddenly froze.
The third son of Sturga had unknowingly grasped the girl's lifeblood. Ed's green eyes blurred and he looked at the Omega above him in a confused state.
"Be good," the boy tightened his grip on his wrist and promised in a hoarse voice, "...I can help you later."
The author has something to say:
It's just a normal hug and hug, without any plot that everyone wants to see. Isn't it normal for neighbors to hug each other (justified)?
