illusion
Zou Yuqing woke up in the evening. There was still some aftereffect of the inhibitor left, and his consciousness was a little hazy after waking up. Recalling what happened in the afternoon, he suddenly widened his eyes.
Did Wei Mingjue come to his place in the afternoon? Thinking about it, he suddenly felt the warmth around him. He propped himself up and took a look. It was indeed that familiar figure.
At this time, Wei Mingjue was leaning on the bedside table with his eyes closed. Perhaps because something bad happened in his dream, this Alpha frowned and kept his lips tightly closed.
She wanted to wake this man up and send him away, but the scene she saw in the afternoon when she was half-conscious suddenly surfaced in her mind—Wei Mingjue called a doctor to give her an injection, and he seemed to have wiped the sweat off her face, with a look of worry on his face...
Wait, what was he thinking? Wei Mingjue was worried about him? There were even deep bite marks on his glands. Zou Yuqing looked away, secretly mocking himself, thinking he must be crazy to have such an illusion.
"Awake? Feeling better?"
As he was laughing at himself, Wei Mingjue woke up. The deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Zou Yuqing for a moment. He turned his head to look at Wei Mingjue. Under the dim light, the Alpha in front of him was looking straight at him, his eyes flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
"Why are you here?" Zou Yuqing quickly turned his face away and frowned.
"Since the employees aren't coming to work, of course I have to come and check on them." Wei Mingjue smiled, as if he wasn't the one having the nightmare just now. A nonchalant smile hung on his face. "So, how are you feeling?"
"I've taken a leave of absence."
"Really?" Wei Mingjue raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know. "Next time you need leave, just tell me directly."
Zou Yuqing didn't believe that Wei Mingjue didn't know that this scheming man would come to his house with all kinds of excuses, and even if he didn't have an excuse, he would just walk in openly as if this place belonged to him.
"I'm just an employee. Just follow the normal leave application process." Zou Yuqing didn't look at Wei Mingjue. He didn't want to see that somewhat dazzling smile.
Wei Mingjue didn't say anything. He just laughed and said to himself, "Rest for another week. Come back when you're fully recovered." As he spoke, he picked up the inhibitor beside him and said, "I'll throw away your inhibitor. I'll use this from now on."
Zou Yuqing was stunned when he glanced at the boxes of inhibitors in Wei Mingjue's hands. They were from the company's previous production, and the packaging was familiar to him. So, was he embarrassed by his inferior inhibitors and threw them away? Or was he... genuinely worried about him?
Shit. Zou Yuqing couldn't help but curse inwardly. In this dim and quiet environment, Wei Mingjue heard this word.
With a slight frown, Wei Mingjue spoke, "What? You want to use your inhibitor? If it breaks and affects me, will you be responsible?" He looked down at Zou Yuqing condescendingly.
In fact, when he saw those inhibitors, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After dusk, Liang Shu called him and the ingredients of the inhibitors that Zou Yuqing had been using were detected.
The lowest concentration of pheromone suppressant plus a little vitamin. There is no way to suppress the aggressive pheromones during the susceptible period.
"I went to the company specifically to get these this afternoon. Judging from your expression, I think I meant well but ended up doing something bad?" Seeing that Zou Yuqing didn't say anything, Wei Mingjue sneered and continued.
Hearing these words, Zou Yuqing was immediately furious as his embarrassment and gratitude collided. "Did I ask you to do this? I don't think so. It was you, Mr. Wei, who threw away my inhibitors on your own initiative, so cough cough..."
Perhaps because the effects of the cough hadn't worn off yet and he was still a bit agitated, Zou Yuqing's face flushed red from coughing. He didn't understand what Wei Ming Jue meant, or what he was hoping to gain by doing this.
Seeing this, Wei Mingjue gritted his teeth and didn't continue arguing with the patient in front of him. Instead, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "You should rest. I will come here every day until you return to the company."
"Don't come!" Zou Yuqing shouted. After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a bit loud. He lowered his eyes and lowered his voice. "I will ask my friends to come over in the next few days. Please don't come."
"Oh, you don't mind your friends seeing this?" Wei Mingjue pointed to his gland. He didn't believe that Zou Yuqing, an Alpha with such a strong sense of self-esteem, would let his friends see the marked area.
But Zou Yuqing also laughed and said, "Yeah, I don't mind him knowing."
"I trust him very much. We talk about everything. So what if he knew I was marked? He wouldn't laugh at me." Zou Yuqing continued, "What he would care about is the person who marked me, not whether my gland is marked."
It had to be said that the person in front of him knew how to irritate him. Wei Mingjue narrowed his eyes and wanted to turn and walk towards Zou Yuqing, but looking at Zou Yuqing's pale face, he stopped in his tracks. "Then you two have a really good relationship. Is it that Beta named Xu Wang?"
Hearing Xu Wang's name, Zou Yuqing's smile faltered. "No," he lied. He didn't know what Wei Mingjue would do to Xu Wang, and cursed himself inwardly.
Wei Mingjue saw through Zou Yuqing at a glance, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked out the door slowly, "Whether it is true or not, I will come here every day starting from the day after tomorrow. Also, your mother was sent back this afternoon. I don't know if she was woken up by you just now." After that, his figure disappeared outside the door.
Zou Yuqing hadn't reacted yet. He'd thought Wei Mingjue would be enraged by him, but the moment he saw Wei Mingjue turn around, his heart leaped into his throat. He didn't know what Wei Mingjue would do. This Alpha was so angry and unruly. What if he bit him again?
What he couldn't understand even more was himself. Why did he suddenly mention his friend? And Wei Mingjue mentioned Xu Wang. What would this vicious Alpha do to Xu Wang? He was very worried.
Without checking the time, it was already late at night and almost twelve o'clock. Zou Yuqing called Xu Wang, and the other party picked up the phone quickly.
"Zou Yuqing?" Xu Wang seemed to be able to see the incredulous expression on his face even through the screen. Zou Yuqing smiled and said "hmm". Then Xu Wang said in even greater shock, "It's really you! You actually called me in the middle of the night!"
Only then did Zou Yuqing notice the time and said embarrassedly, "Ah, I didn't check the time. Is it time to rest?"
"What's the big deal? I'm just surprised! My shop just closed." Xu Wang smiled and said, "But why did you call me suddenly? Did something happen? You didn't miss me, did you?"
The frivolous Beta successfully made Zou Yuqing laugh, and Zou Yuqing felt a little better. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the excited Xu Wang, "Then I'll come to your house tomorrow! No, you're going to work part-time tomorrow, right?"
"I've taken a leave of absence." Zou Yuqing didn't tell Xu Wang first that he no longer worked in the supermarket. It wouldn't be too late to tell him when they met.
"Oh, you already have plans? That's not common. Then I'll come to your place tomorrow morning!"
After the appointment, Zou Yuqing hung up the phone. But after putting down the phone, he began to feel uneasy again.
If he met Xu Wang tomorrow, he would definitely not be able to hide the fact that he was marked. Although he had just told Wei Mingjue that Xu Wang wouldn't mind, he was still worried.
After all, he is a sensitive and self-deprecating person at heart.
