Chapter 69
On the morning of the seventh day, Shi Yu returned home and packed his things. In the afternoon, Lei Yin sent Shi Yu back to the nursing home.
"If you want to come back, tell me in advance and I'll pick you up."
Shi Yu had a sore back from sleeping on the spaceship, and then she took a car to get here. She covered her mouth and yawned softly. After hearing what Rein said, she nodded in confusion.
Instead of agreeing on a time like the previous two times, Rein gave her enough freedom, perhaps because he believed that Shi Yu would not be back for long.
Shi Yu was also very sure that no matter how long it took her to be back, no matter how busy Mr. Rain was, as long as she called him, he would definitely pick her up home very efficiently.
Since returning from their trip, something has quietly changed in them.
...Is it a good thing? Shigure wasn't sure.
She smiled, leaned over the back of the seat, poked the officer's stiff shoulder, and said goodbye to him in a relaxed tone, "Then I'll go back first, sir."
—But after all, she thought, it wasn't so bad now.
Shi Yu returned to the dormitory building carrying several bags. She knocked on Ed's room first, but no one was there. She carried her things back to the room, sent a message to Ed, and then lay down on the bed and slept for a while.
Shi Yu slept very deeply. When she woke up, it was already dark outside. An unread message popped up on her tablet. Ed had sent her a message an hour ago to tell her that he was back. Shi Yu got out of bed and went out to find Ed.
Shi Yu remembered the password to Ed's room. He had never changed it. A faint light shone from the room. Once the password was unlocked, she happily pushed open the door: "Ed! I'm back——"
Ed sat at the laboratory table with his back to her. The boy didn't react for a moment before turning around and looking at her.
"…Ed?"
Shi Yu called him again in confusion.
Ed narrowed his eyes, raised his green eyes to look at her, and after a moment, he said "hmm" slowly and hoarsely. It was obvious that he had stayed up too late, which made Shi Yu a little worried.
"Stay up late again?"
Shi Yu sighed and walked to Ed's side, but at this moment his nose moved and he suddenly smelled a very strong scent of lemon.
Shi Yu had smelled Ed's pheromones several times and had always liked this sour and refreshing fragrance with a refreshing fruity scent. Doing homework next to him made her feel refreshed and her attention became more focused and stable.
But now it doesn’t seem to have the same lemony smell as before... Do pheromones change?
Shigure fanned his nose in confusion, bewildered.
It was very pungent and strong, like many lemons crushed in a juicer, then added with onion juice and ginger juice to mix into a spicy and sour liquid, which fermented in the air. The smell had a kind of aggressiveness that Shi Yu could not describe.
"It was just an experiment."
Seeing Shi Yu's increasingly worried expression due to his abnormality, Ed lowered his eyes and touched the back of his neck. "Don't worry."
"experiment……"
The boy was still wearing the white lab coat. Shi Yu noticed his thin shoulders and his slim, delicate features. He couldn't help but advise, "Although the experiment is important, you still need to rest, Ed."
"I know. We'll talk about this later."
Ed interrupted her and stood up. Shi Yu felt that he must be in a bad state, so he reached out to help him.
When the girl's temperature touched him, even through the clothes, Ed couldn't help but shiver.
The soft and sweet aroma of Omega rushed into his nose and seeped into his lungs. Ed clasped his five fingers together at the collar of his shirt and breathed gently. A faint blush appeared on his pale face. He seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Although he was in a room with heating on and a suitable temperature, he was sweating all over.
Shi Yu was frightened by Ed's weak appearance. She instinctively wanted to let go of his arm, but she was worried that he would fall down if he staggered.
"Ed, what are you..."
"Shigure."
Ed's shoulders stiffened and he lowered his head, as if he couldn't bear her continued touch. His voice was hoarse and gentle, almost like a request, "Let go of my hand for a moment... I have something to tell you."
"I've been trying to adjust the hormones in my glands lately."
Shi Yu sat on Ed's bed, quite far away from Ed who was sitting at the lab table. Once away from Shi Yu, the boy quickly regained his composure and explained calmly, "You know, I didn't want to go through that period, so I started trying to do this after you left."
In fact, the experiment should have started earlier.
Before Shi Yu came to the nursing home, Ed had conducted many experiments on his own body. He didn't care at all whether arbitrarily adjusting hormones would cause harm to himself. He never took this Omega body seriously.
About a month before she came, the experiment had obvious results. Ed had not experienced a passionate period for nearly three months. Although it was not obvious on his face, his emotions were becoming more and more anxious and anxious. The changes in his body seemed to bring Ed a glimmer of hope, which made him unable to relax.
To keep up the pace, he pushed himself every moment, developing and adjusting his experimental ideas in his mind. During that time, Ed became increasingly withdrawn and aloof, leaving home early. Because of his inherent personality, no one noticed his abnormality.
Suddenly one day, a new neighbor moved in next door, a delicate, slow-witted, and nosy Omega.
At first, Ed didn't pay any attention to Shigure.
Even after meeting him, he planned to treat this neighbor as a complete stranger and keep his distance from him. However, this did not come from any ill feelings. On the contrary, when Ed was young, he thought about the type of person he would like. It cannot be denied that this neighbor completely satisfied his fantasy of Omega, but whenever Ed thought about his current situation, he felt weird from the bottom of his heart.
He and she are of the same gender.
Ed was well aware of this.
She came to choose her own classes, and Ed didn't have any thoughts. He was just responsible for teaching her well. But when Yu was in class, she accidentally rubbed his fingertips. When she took the homework and thanked him happily, the numbness started from the part she touched and spread all the way to her nerves. The sweet pheromones made Ed suffocate for nearly a few seconds.
After that day, his experiments came to a halt.
No matter how many times he went back to the laboratory to study and reason, he could not explain his abnormal behavior when facing Shi Yu. The boy felt that he had the symptoms before the passionate period for the first time in a long time, but he had just injected the developed medicine the day before and could not continue to increase the dosage.
In order to obtain more data and samples, Ed decided to approach Shi Yu and send her friendly and goodwill signals.
...Although the gradual plan was interrupted by his sudden estrus, it also allowed Ed to confirm one thing: Shi Yu and he were attracted to each other.
Even though they are the same gender, they are both Omegas.
——But, what’s the reason?
Hearing Ed's frank confession, Shi Yu was stunned for a moment in surprise.
"Will it have a bad effect on your body?" She knew Ed's wishes, so Shi Yu did not dissuade him, but was just worried about it.
"It's within my acceptable range, don't worry."
Ed was silent for a moment, then he said, "Shigure, I said before that I wanted to see you, mainly because I wanted to confirm something."
"What?"
Shi Yu was bewildered,...she had thought that Ed really wanted to see her.
"You've probably smelled it too. My pheromones are unstable right now, and there are some abnormalities."
Ed calmly concealed his true purpose and said, "So in order to understand the changes in my body, I need your help."
…
after.
Why did things turn out like this, Shi Yu didn't know...
"Are you scared?"
Ed asked.
The strong and pungent smell of lemon seemed to invade his limbs and bones irresistibly from the back of his neck. Shi Yu trembled slightly, hunched his shoulders and shook his head.
The boy pressed Shi Yu's shoulders, suppressing all her possible rejection and rejection. Her glands were located behind her fair and slender neck, which was the softest part of an Omega's body.
Ed stared intently at the small piece of skin as white and delicate as goat's milk. After a moment, he lowered his head and rubbed his pale, thin lips against hers, adding a bit of force, as if he was about to bite into her body fiercely. Shi Yu immediately tightened the hem of her skirt, raised her chin unconsciously, and called him with a light gasp, "Ai, Ed..."
So strange...
Shi Yu's eyes were filled with tears of endurance as he tried hard to suppress his embarrassing reaction.
Whether it was Ed's request, his actions, or the aggressive lemon scent lingering in her nose, she couldn't help but feel terrified. She wanted to just run away, but... she also wanted to -
I wanted Ed to continue.
Shi Yu's thoughts were so contradictory that he was almost confused.
Ed said that he did this because he wanted to collect data on how his body would react during close contact so that he could better clarify the subsequent ideas for the experiment. Because it was Ed, even though the proposal made Shi Yu a little embarrassed and ashamed, she still agreed.
Ed noticed the girl's retreat and whispered, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll stop."
The air from his breath gently sprayed on the back of his neck as he spoke. Shi Yu shuddered again and responded while biting his lip.
"...I'm still okay, it's just that," Shi Yu said tearfully, as if she was being bullied, "can you be a little gentler, please?"
Ed was already very weak... He had gotten himself into this state because he didn't want to go through the passion phase.
Shi Yu is willing to do so if it can help Ed.
Ed saw her reaction clearly.
Ed seemed to be a little excited as he squeezed Shi Yu's thin shoulders, but was afraid to let go of her because he was too strong. He was actually trembling, and his body movements were almost uncontrollable, but he tried very hard to endure it and didn't let Shi Yu notice.
"Are you scared?"
He rested his forehead against the girl's shoulder bone and asked again.
Shi Yu took a deep breath, his voice sounded aggrieved, as if he wanted to cry, but he tried hard to hold it back.
"…because it's Ed," she said.
“So don’t be afraid.”
After everything was over, Ed finally got the answer he had always wanted.
There was indeed a mutual attraction between him and Shigure. Now that they were both Omegas, they were vaguely attracted to each other, and if they became Alphas, it would be even more undoubted.
The more Shi Yu occupied in his heart, the more frequently Ed thought about this possibility - of course he wanted to become an Alpha, and all the experiments he had done so far were moving towards this goal without exception, but Ed himself knew very well that his ambition would be difficult to achieve.
Shi Yu has an inexplicable attraction to him. Naturally, this attraction will only become stronger after he becomes an Alpha. This is a throbbing that comes from genes and blood and nerves, and is not the same as the instinctive sexual attraction between AOs.
When this kind of connection occurs between an Alpha and an Omega, it often means that their compatibility is over 95%. They are like a destined partner, and the offspring they give birth to will inherit the best genes.
However, the reality is that Ed has not yet become an Alpha, and he is destined not to have the opportunity to match Shi Yu, which makes Ed feel anxious. He often thinks about the past and recalls the time he spent in "Stuerga".
——Ed’s closest blood relatives, his two Alpha brothers, have the same blood as himself.
If I am like this, what about them?
The closer the blood relationship, the more similar the genes are, and the matching data of the two people will not be very different. There have been cases where Omega refused to enter into a trial marriage with the matched Alpha during blind dates, and instead entered into a trial marriage with the other party's blood relatives.
His blood relatives would most likely have a similar reaction to his own. They were Alphas, and one of them was the legitimate heir of the Sturga family. When the matching degree was as high as 98%, certain provisions of the AO marriage law became mandatory. The wishes of one of them could not be counted, and they had to enter a two-month trial marriage period.
Two people who are naturally attracted to each other and have a perfect match, after living closely together for two months, everyone knows what kind of relationship will become between them.
...Just imagining a certain possibility in the future made Ed feel unbearable.
He suddenly spoke softly, "Shigure."
"Um……?"
The handsome silver-haired boy hugged her from behind, his face buried tiredly in the girl's shoulders and neck. Shi Yu also leaned limply in his arms, the nasal sounds she managed to make were soft and weak. When she heard Ed talking to her, Shi Yu forced herself to open her eyes and listen.
"If, later on, you meet someone from Sturga during the matching period."
The boy knew that her matching period was approaching, so he intertwined his fingers and slightly tightened his grip on her hand. Ed lowered his eyes and gave her a soft but solemn instruction - or perhaps, a plea.
"Don't get close to them," Ed said, "...either Phil or Noah."
The author has something to say:
That’s right! My sister is the catnip of the Sturga family!
Attract a group of white-haired cats to meow and rob her (not)
From Ed's perspective, I explained why the girl was attracted to him, and why Noah and Phil had a high initial affection for each other.
The next chapter will start a small chapter of dating~
