Chapter 46
Shi Yu didn't remember clearly what happened next.
She only vaguely knew she was terrified at that moment, and after struggling to squeeze out a few sounds, she couldn't hold it back any longer and sobbed. The girl's tear-soaked eyes were hazy and confused. She closed her eyes, tears slowly flowing out, wetting her hair.
Shigure kept turning her head away, revealing a resistance that seemed to indicate she didn't want to believe that the boy with the emerald eyes would do such a thing. Such a cold and aloof teacher... wanted to hug her, but not... help her——
Shi Yu shuddered inexplicably. She felt hot, her body empty and lost. Ed's breath was like a cool, soft cloud. Shi Yu wanted to get closer, but in the end, she only clenched the fabric around his slender shoulders. Sobbing, she repeated, "...No."
What should I do to calm my body down?
Shi Yu was a little confused, but she just felt that this kind of thing would waste a lot of time, and she would have to call Wayne later... She had a hard time contacting Wayne.
Ed looked down at her face quietly. The girl's eyes were red and she pushed his shoulders away weakly. Her action did not sound like the "no" she said at all.
But she was refusing. Ed lowered his eyelashes quietly - he knew clearly that she was refusing, even though the Omega was already in a serious state of passion.
The young man narrowed his green eyes slightly with a slightly messy look, and groped to hold Shi Yu's wet palm that was tightly grasping his shoulder.
"Then let go." He said it very calmly, as if giving an order, but his back was slightly bent, and there was a hint of uncontrollable embarrassment in his trembling voice.
Shi Yu sobbed and murmured, then mumbled "no". The young man stared at her intently, his expression almost losing the aristocratic dignity and arrogance that always hung in his cold brows and eyes.
Instinctively, she curled her wet fingertips and clasped them tightly with Ed's cool fingers. Her beautiful emerald eyes reflected the girl's self-absorbed movements. Ed watched her actions with indifference, but after a moment, he seemed to be unable to suppress a little anger at her indecision.
"...What on earth do you want to do?" He asked coldly, using the same tone as when he caught someone distracted during class. It was calm yet seemed to contain a strong sense of oppression.
Even though he was an Omega, the girl couldn't resist the male's strength. Ed forcefully brought their intertwined palms to Shiyu's eyes, allowing her to clearly see what he was doing. Shiyu was startled, then seemed to finally recognize the person on her body. She gasped and tried to pull her fingers away from Ed.
"I'm sorry..." She shed panicked tears, her cheeks flushed as she apologized, "I, I'm going to get the injection!"
Shi Yu was unable to turn over. The boy pursed his pale lips and just responded by holding her fingers tightly. She had already lost all her strength and was pitifully held in his palm.
"You are the Alpha..." The hoarse question was drowned out by the sudden violent tinnitus in his ears. Shi Yu vaguely heard Teacher Ed's low voice and saw his frowning face and stiff and fragile expression.
"For you, it's not okay if you're not one of those Alphas, right?"
He asked.
Shi Yu trembled, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He bit his lip and shook his head.
She could no longer make out what Ed was saying. Was it a dream? Shi Yu desperately hoped that this was just a dream.
The boy's slender, straight back blocked most of the light. Because of the backlight, Shi Yu couldn't see his expression clearly no matter how hard she tried. She wanted to reach out and touch his cheek with tears in her eyes. He seemed to be trapped in some kind of nightmare. She tried hard to comfort her teacher.
However, the next moment, Shi Yu seemed to have suddenly lost all her energy and she fainted instantly.
…
When he woke up again, Shi Yu vaguely felt a cold and tingling sensation on the back of his neck.
She rested in bed for a while before sitting up, holding her neck. Her vision was blurry and her back was still sweating, but her body had cooled down a lot.
Ah…Ed.
Shi Yu suddenly had a headache and recalled what happened last night.
When she went to look for Ed dejectedly, he found his door firmly shut, clearly having left long ago. ... Shi Yu leaned her head against the door and sighed quietly, somewhat distressedly.
After fainting last night, he woke up the next morning. Of course, he didn't attend the class. Shi Yu covered his painful head and thought for a while, and finally remembered another forgotten thing.
She realized with panic that she had not gone to the meeting room to see Officer Rein in the past two days and had forgotten to ask for leave from the doctor!
Although the general meant that she didn't have to go there every day... Shi Yu still felt very sorry. Thinking of Officer Lei Yin's tall and silent figure writing a letter of apology, Shi Yu struggled for a long time. Finally, with an apologetic heart, she opened the tablet and explained to the doctor that she had been feeling unwell for the past two days.
…and then she took another day off.
Shi Yu still felt very uncomfortable, but he forced himself to stay awake and didn't go to sleep. After it was completely dark that day, Shi Yu finally waited for Ed to return to the dormitory.
"Ed!"
When the thug was startled awake by the sound of footsteps, Shi Yu rushed out of the room without giving it much thought. The light from the corridor shone on a fair and delicate face. The boy's slender eyelashes slowly covered his deep green eyes, and the movement of entering the room code also stopped.
The boy's cold silver hair and drooping green eyes made his temperament seem particularly cold. Ed lowered his eyes to look at his wrist and didn't even glance at her.
Shi Yu pursed his lips, his expression hesitant for a moment.
Then, she finally said somewhat dryly, "Ed, I'm waiting for you to come back."
After saying this, Shi Yu, who wanted to add something, just pursed her lips and looked at him carefully.
“…”
Ed closed his eyes for a moment, suddenly feeling a deep, tormented, helpless boredom in his heart.
He simply ignored the Omega's eager gaze and asked, "What do you mean? Do you want me to praise you?"
"You haven't been to class for two days." Ed's tone was slow and indifferent. "Instead of thinking about other boring things, you should think about when you can improve your learning initiative."
Huh? Shi Yu looked at Ed in confusion, feeling a bit lost for a moment. He knew exactly what the problem was that had caused him to miss class yesterday...!
"Yesterday it was because..." She hesitated and tried to explain, but was interrupted by the boy's cold and penetrating gaze. He looked up at her and said softly, without asking, "Why?"
Shi Yu: “…”
Shi Yu widened his eyes, and a soft gleam of light appeared in his eyes as he stared at Ed.
She slowly realized that this sentence was a kind of warning, that the teacher didn't want her to mention what happened last night again. When Shi Yu felt that she could touch the real Ed, the one who would get angry and lose control, he once again put on the appearance of a lonely and unapproachable mentor.
"If you're fine, go back to your room and go to class tomorrow."
Ed had no intention of wasting time with her any longer. He glanced at the stunned girl with a calm expression, suddenly frowned, and asked calmly, "Today..." When Shi Yu lowered her head a little retreatingly, she heard Ed's calm voice.
"Are you feeling better?"
Shi Yu touched his cheek, which seemed to still be warm, with his fingers, and his expression looked a little dazed.
She actually still felt a little uncomfortable, but suddenly, Shi Yu didn't want to say anything to Ed. She said "hmm" in a depressed tone, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ed stared at her for a moment, her sickly flushed earlobes caught his eye. After a slight pause, he quietly stated, "You need another injection of suppressant."
“…”
Shi Yu turned his face away silently, pretending not to hear.
It was that tone again - Shi Yu thought in a daze and sadly, it was obviously Ed who showed that expression and that kind of emotion that was on the verge of losing control first. Her dreams were lingering with his frightening and cowardly look, and she was always worried about him.
In the end, Ed pretended nothing happened, which was fine. She didn't intend to care about it in the first place, but he still ordered her around in such a cold manner. She was not his pet!
Before Shi Yu's angry thoughts could come to her mind, she heard Ed's calm voice again: "This is for your own health. I gave you a dose yesterday, but because you didn't take precautions, the situation is more serious than I thought, so you need another shot."
"Go back and get the injection yourself." At this point, the boy's voice was already tinged with fatigue. "Don't always be careless and let others worry about your health."
Shi Yu looked at him, moved her lips, her eyes slightly red, her hair stuck to her cheeks, and she looked like a little animal that had been bullied. Then the girl shook her head lightly, as if she was about to say "no" again.
Ed couldn't help but frown. Shi Yu's stubborn expression that looked like she was about to cry didn't seem to soften his heart at all. He just thought that the Omega in front of him really had the ability to easily make people angry.
As an Omega, the boy's emotions are actually also rich and delicate. He is originally a lonely and proud person. Those approaches and temptations that cannot be expressed in words are already beyond his boundaries.
…But she always refuses.
Time and time again, this made Ed feel a little embarrassed.
"Then I shouldn't have given you an injection last night." The young man didn't look at Shi Yu again. He just said this lightly and coldly and stepped into the room.
"As you please," he said.
Shi Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes, her fair cheeks flushed and wet, she cried softly behind Ed, "I don't know how to take inhibitors... I've never taken them myself..."
Shi Yu felt that Ed was being inexplicably weird, and she also didn't understand why she was being scolded like this when she had clearly come to show her concern for him. Her eyes were sore, and she defended herself with great grievance, "That's what I wanted to say after I shook my head just now! You're going too far...!"
"I've been worried about you all day. I didn't dare sleep even though I felt so uncomfortable. I came here just to see if there was anything I could do to help you. You definitely don't know how important you are to me..."
"But you've gone too far..." Shi Yu murmured again. Technically speaking, her passion wasn't over yet. Her emotions were fragile, and once she started crying, she couldn't stop easily. The girl let out a small whimper from her throat, and began to speak in a chaotic manner, "I didn't ask you to give me the injection yesterday. I asked Susu and Natasha to—"
"Even if I ask the general to give me the injection," she said, sobbing and wiping her tears, "I don't want you, Ed, to come..."
Amidst the vague sound of crying, Shi Yu was suddenly grabbed by the arm and taken into the teacher's room.
A light, cold lemon scent lingers in the nose.
It was difficult for her to describe the feeling of suddenly falling into an ice cellar. She felt sore all over and was being held hostage. There was a sudden sharp pain in the back of her neck, which was even more difficult to bear than the dull pain caused by the teeth.
Shi Yu gasped in pain and couldn't help but grab anything at hand to rely on, and a few tears fell intermittently.
Ed's face was cold, and sweat also wet his frosty eyelashes. Perhaps his actions were not gentle, so the girl pulled his sleeve and put it to his lips that were whimpering, as if this could soften his heart and give her a gentle hug afterwards.
"Why are you crying?"
He spoke calmly and attentively, his other hand remaining steady. "Just bear with it. We can't really ask the general to give you the injection."
The Omega's red neck swelled up, and she was so uncomfortable that she could only sob weakly under her own palm, but she still took a deep breath and tried to explain.
"I know." She covered up the faint sobs in her throat and whispered, "...I'm just in pain, that's all."
After receiving the second injection of the inhibitor, Shi Yu's emotions finally calmed down. She kept her head down, wiping away tears, a hint of shame for her recent emotional outburst still on her face.
Ed lowered his head towards the girl, carefully taking in her tearful expression and slight trembling.
...He is very important to her. He couldn't help but recall these words.
The moment the room was plunged into darkness, the dim light outside the window flickered twice, and the inaudible hum of the airship in the garden stopped, and all the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear like the tide.
Power outage...?!
Shi Yu was startled by the sudden darkness. She shrank her shoulders in panic, but was held down firmly by Ed. There seemed to be faint chaotic noises coming from the garden, and Shi Yu suddenly gasped rapidly due to the pain and panic.
Ed lowered his eyes quietly, his breath brushing against the Omega's slender white neck like a feather. Noticing Shi Yu's stiffness, he whispered comfortingly, "It's just a power outage."
"Everything will be back to normal soon, don't be afraid."
As if slightly comforted by these words, Shi Yu let out a "wu" sound, and the fear in her heart eased a little. When the injection was withdrawn, the overflowing liquid sprinkled sporadically on her neck. Ed stared at the fair and soft skin, his eyes not as cold as his voice.
"Stay in your room tonight and try not to go out."
He thought for a moment, softened his tone, and added, "If you need anything, you can come to me. I won't fall asleep until I call."
