Shu Bai suddenly pulled open the drawer.
Inside were several portable nutritional supplements, the kind that can be ingested directly.
He took out two and glanced at the flavor description on the packaging.
It's an energy booster, plain flavor, nothing fancy, but it's very filling.
He was dragged back by this guy in a hurry at noon, and neither of them had time to eat.
Li Yuheng is currently in a vulnerable period, and both her emotions and body are in a high-energy-consuming state, so she needs to replenish her energy.
Moreover, he didn't intend to leave Li Yuheng alone at this time.
Even with inhibitors and isolation, Alphas in their vulnerable period are prone to getting stuck in a rut, becoming depressed, or more irritable when alone.
He turned around and tossed one of the nutritional supplements to the person on the bed.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuheng instinctively reached out and caught it.
The cool touch brought him back to his senses. He looked down at the unassuming nutrient solution in his hand, then looked up at Shu Bai.
Shu Bai had already torn open the seal on his own straw, and was now biting down on it, taking a sip without any expression, before mumbling, "Drink."
Li Yuheng held the cold, unassuming vial of nutrients, and suddenly uttered a sentence in a low voice, seemingly out of the blue:
"...Are you trying to seduce me?"
"???"
Shu Bai suddenly looked up, her face full of disbelief and question marks, and even forgot to swallow the nutrient solution in her mouth.
He looked at the Alpha on the bed, who was looking very serious, as if he had been tempted by something incredibly powerful, and he almost laughed in anger.
He put down the nutritional supplement in his hand.
"Li Yuheng, it's your brain that's damaged during your most vulnerable period, not your eyes. What I'm giving you is a nutrient, not an aphrodisiac."
“But just now…” Li Yuheng’s gaze lingered on his lips, then slowly moved away, sweeping over his hand holding the nutrient solution, his eyes darkening, “…you touched me with this.”
He was referring to the sparse white hands.
Shu Bai choked, her ears instantly turning red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.
"That's what you asked for!" he practically spat out the words through clenched teeth.
Li Yuheng admitted it quickly, then immediately became aggrieved and self-righteous: "Yes, it was my request. But I didn't expect it to have such a lasting impact. Now, every little thing you do makes me feel like you're implying something to me."
He shook the nutrient solution in his hand, the packaging making a slight rustling sound: "Like this one. Why this kind that needs to be 'inhaled'? You know perfectly well that I'm currently..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the burning gaze and the suddenly intensified pheromones of red tea had already said what he hadn't said.
Shu Bai took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm. She couldn't lower herself to the level of a fool in his vulnerable period, especially since she had chosen this fool herself.
He walked over expressionlessly, snatched the nutrient solution from Li Yuheng's hand, and deftly tore open the seal.
Then, he grabbed Li Yuheng's chin and shoved the straw into his mouth without saying a word.
"drink."
Shu Bai commanded, his eyes dangerous, "Drink with your mouth, not with your wandering thoughts. If you talk nonsense again, next time I'll stuff you with compressed biscuits that you have to chew on, and they'll break your teeth."
Li Yuheng was forced to take a sip.
The bland, tasteless liquid food slid down his throat, completely unrelated to the alluring thoughts swirling in his mind.
He blinked, looked at the face so close to his own, and suddenly chuckled softly.
He took another big gulp from the straw in that position, then released it and licked his lips.
"Oh," he replied. "But Shubai, the food you fed it seemed sweeter."
Shu Bai let go of her hand, turned around and returned to her seat, picked up her nutrient solution, and bit down hard on the straw.
Li Yuheng leaned against the headboard with satisfaction, slowly inhaling his nutrient solution.
Yes, the vulnerable period is great.
Although I didn't get to eat any meat, I had some meat broth, teased my wife, and watched her look both embarrassed and annoyed, yet still having to take care of herself...
Wow, that felt amazing.
…
Li Yuheng fell asleep.
He lay on his side, facing the direction of the sparse white, his breathing becoming long and steady.
Those eyes, always brimming with playfulness, passion, or grievance, were quietly closed, their eyelashes casting a small shadow beneath them, giving his angular face a rare, unguarded gentleness.
Slightly messy strands of hair fell across her forehead, and a satisfied smile seemed to linger at the corners of her mouth.
Shu Bai finished operating on the screen, and the virtual keyboard disappeared silently.
He sat quietly at his desk for a while, listening to Li Yuheng's steady breathing behind him.
The dormitory was quiet. The isolation mode blocked out all the noise from the outside world, leaving only this space filled with each other's presence.
He stood up, his movements very quiet, without making a sound.
He walked to Li Yuheng's bedside and looked down at him for a moment.
During their most vulnerable period, Alphas have relaxed eyebrows, steady breathing, and are completely different from their usual boisterous self, even appearing somewhat docile.
Shu Bai lightly touched Li Yuheng's hair, turned around and went back to her own bed opposite him, where she sat down.
The lingering scent of black tea and cedarwood still hung in the air, silently proclaiming the chaos and intimacy of a few hours earlier.
Shu Bai sat quietly for a while, staring at Li Yuheng, before taking out his communicator and searching again.
His search history from the past three days flashed across the screen:

...
When Li Yuheng woke up, it was already dark.
He turned his head to look at the bed opposite him.
Shu Bai had her back to him, seemingly fast asleep. Her body was outlined in a quiet silhouette under the thin blanket, and her breathing was long and steady.
Li Yuheng got up quietly, trying not to make a sound, and quickly took a shower in the bathroom.
After changing into clean pajamas, he glanced at his communicator; it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
He slept for quite a long time.
Their gazes fell on Shu Bai again.
His sleeping posture seemed somewhat restrained, with one hand bent beside the pillow and a communicator, which was already off, in his hand.
Li Yuheng's heart softened, and he walked over quietly.
Did my wife fall asleep while looking at the communicator?
I don't know what I was so engrossed in researching, I even fell asleep while still holding it.
He reached out, his movements as gentle as could be, his fingertips carefully touching the cool edge of the communicator, trying to take it from Shu Bai's hand so that he wouldn't accidentally press or hurt it while he was asleep.
However, his fingertips had barely touched the communicator, and he hadn't even had time to apply any pressure.
Shu Bai was jolted awake as if an alarm had been triggered. Her wrist tightened, and she instinctively gripped the communicator tightly in her hand, hiding it in front of her.
“…Li Yuheng?” Shu Bai’s voice was hoarse from just waking up and carried a hint of barely perceptible tension. He turned to the side and looked at the figure by the bed in the dim light. “You’re awake? Why aren’t you lying down? What are you doing running around?”
Li Yuheng was taken aback by his overreaction. He simply sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to touch Shu Bai's forehead, and spoke with a lazy and teasing tone, as if he had just woken up.
"Did you have a nightmare? Or did you do something bad behind my back? Why are you reacting so strongly? Is there something you're hiding in your communicator, hmm? Your 'ex-boyfriend's' little secret?"
Shu Bai slapped his hand away, and as she turned over, she casually slipped the communicator under her pillow, her tone returning to its usual indifference: "What secrets could there be? But you, still restless during your sensitive period. Got a shower? How are you feeling?"
"Very good, I feel refreshed. It's all thanks to your timely and effective treatment that the results are remarkable~" Li Yuheng said with a smug look on his face.
