Chapter 101
"Taotao," a soft call came from the door, but there was no response.
"Are you asleep?" The living room was pitch black, and Song Yizhu had to push open the door quietly. The room was also dark, and the light coming in from the door illuminated the bulge on the bed, casting a shadow.
The room was quiet, with only the faint scent of magnolia lingering.
Song Yizhu tiptoed towards the protrusion. The surroundings were so quiet that she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.
"Taotao?" She called softly again, but the person buried in the quilt still didn't move, and it seemed that he was really asleep.
Song Yizhu sighed softly. He thought he would be able to see his wife when he came back, but he didn't expect her to go to bed so early.
After tucking in the quilt for her, Song Yizhu planned to go out. Since Xu Zhiyan fell asleep, she could only go next door to take a shower before coming back.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the quilt that had just been covered, and in an instant, it accurately grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Did I wake you up?" Song Yizhu stopped walking away when her wrist was grabbed. He squatted down and moved closer to her, his voice still soft.
"Song Yiyi?" Her voice sounded incredulous, and she asked very softly.
"It's me, I'm back. Did you miss me?" Song Yizhu came close to her. The cold air brought back from outside had not completely dissipated yet, and she felt chilly.
Xu Zhiyan's hand unconsciously touched her face, and the coolness on her face gave her a sense of reality.
"What's wrong?"
"I thought..." Her voice choked and she couldn't finish the words. Hot tears fell first. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, Song Yizhu could still feel the change in her emotions.
"Did you think I was dead? There was a small accident, so I came back a little late. The bracelet was damaged by the high-intensity information interference and was unable to send back your message." She explained quickly, quickly passing over the dangers she encountered during this period.
"Yes, I thought you were dead." After saying this, Xu Zhiyan could no longer control his emotions and threw himself on her. Tears flowed uncontrollably and soon wet the collar of her shirt.
"Baby, I'm fine. I'm still here, fine." Feeling her tightening arms, Song Yizhu hugged her back and patted her back slowly, afraid that she would not be able to breathe.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sobbing in my arms finally subsided, but I still snuggled in her arms, refusing to leave.
"Can I go take a shower and come back later?" She was silent, and Song Yizhu planned to leave for a while. After all, squatting by the bed was not as good as sleeping with her.
"No." She was so scared, afraid that Song Yiyi would disappear in the blink of an eye, afraid that this was just her nightmare. She didn't want to be separated from Song Yizhu at all, not even for a moment.
"Then I'll stay by your bed all night?"
"No." That wouldn't work. If she stayed by the bed all night, people who didn't know would think she was kicked out of bed. Besides, she didn't want Song Yizhu to stay by the bed.
"Then what should I do?" This is not good, and that is not good either. Song Yizhu really has no way to deal with her.
"Hold me for a little longer." Xu Zhiyan rubbed her neck gently, still unwilling to separate from her.
"Hold me for a while longer."
Her legs would be numb soon.
However, Song Yizhu did not say anything, just stayed with her quietly.
After staying with her quietly for a long time, Xu Zhiyan let her go and looked at her face carefully. She had faint dark circles under her eyes, her cheeks seemed thinner, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, as if she had rushed home as soon as she came back.
"Are you okay? I didn't lie to you." Looking into her eyes, Song Yizhu spoke very seriously.
"You're almost two weeks late, and you still say you didn't lie to me." She had clearly said it was one week, but she waited from the end of October to mid-November.
"It's my question. I didn't expect it would take so long this time. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Song Yizhu had no way to refute this. He thought he would be back in a week, but he was delayed for another two weeks.
"It's okay, I'll wait until you come back."
"No more."
"It's okay, as long as you are safe. I will always wait for you." Xu Zhiyan touched her head. The other party kept looking at him with tenderness in her eyes.
"Go take a shower." Although he didn't want to separate from her, Xu Zhiyan wanted her to be closer to him.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Since Xu Zhiyan was awake, Song Yizhu didn't go next door. She found a set of pajamas in the closet and went to take a shower without asking her why she opened the closet door.
When she came out again, Song Yizhu was no longer wearing the suppression patch. The peach wood fragrance spread wildly in the room. Xu Zhiyan's eyes followed her closely, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
"Taotao, you took inhibitors, right?" The magnolia fragrance in the room did not respond to her pheromones as she expected. Song Yizhu asked a question, but her tone was firm.
"How do you know?" Although she was indeed susceptible to the virus these two days, how did Song Yizhu know whether she had taken the inhibitors or not?
"I smelled it." Song Yizhu moved closer to her and took another deep breath. The pheromones belonging to Omega emanating from her body were not strong, which showed that she was not very active. It was obvious that she had taken inhibitors.
"You smelled it? Has your sense of smell returned?" Upon hearing her words, Xu Zhiyan distanced himself from her, his eyes brightening.
"Yes, I had the examination when I came back today." Song Yizhu nodded. She should have come back earlier, but as soon as she came back, she was taken to the military medical department for a full-body examination. It was dark when she finished.
"Why didn't you tell me just now?"
"Because I was so busy being with you, I forgot about this matter."
That makes sense. After all, Song Yizhu sat next to the bed as soon as he came back, and then went to take a shower, so he didn't have time to talk about this matter.
"Okay, what does my pheromone smell like? Can you smell it?" Xu Zhiyan didn't dwell too much on why she didn't tell her the first time. Now she wanted to know more about how Song Yizhu's sense of smell had recovered.
"I can smell it. It's the scent of flowers, but it's too faint now. I can't tell what it is specifically." She deliberately frowned, as if she really couldn't smell it, but Xu Zhiyan didn't believe it. After all, she had been back for so long.
"Really?" Xu Zhiyan pressed the back of her neck. The peach wood fragrance was unusually active, and it didn't seem like she hadn't smelled it. It was more like she was in heat.
"Really? Do you want to put some more pheromones for me to smell?" Song Yizhu blinked. It should be fine if he put it on at the right time.
