Chapter 81 Poor Secretary Shen
Chen Chi walked away in a hurry, looking like he didn't want to stay here any longer, which made the housekeeper sigh.
“Secretary Shen, put on your coat before you leave.”
The weather was hot and coats were no longer necessary, but Chen Chi stared at the suit jacket belonging to Lu Chenzhou in the butler's hand. The faint bitter smell of gunpowder, which he had found choking before, now made his fingertips tremble.
Reason told him that he should refuse.
His moist and cold eyes stared straight at the coat, and the butler had no choice but to stuff it into his hands.
“Take it. If Secretary Shen doesn’t like it anymore, just throw it in the trash.”
"By the way, I heard someone say that Secretary Shen's phone is broken. This is Mr. Lu's backup phone. You can use it first. The password is your birthday, and the payment password is also your birthday for the time being."
"I also had breakfast put in a thermos box so I can take it with me on the road."
…
The butler was very considerate and talked a lot, but he was gentle and there was nothing to fault with. Instead, it was reassuring to listen to him.
Chen Chi's thoughts were in a mess. He accepted whatever the butler stuffed into his hands. When he left, his hands were full. If he hadn't reacted, the butler would have personally sent him home.
“Secretary Shen, my phone number is in your phone. You can call me for anything.” The housekeeper looked at him kindly, “Now that you’re home, can you send me a message?”
The perfect amount of concern made Chen Chi's nose slightly sore.
"Yeah." His voice was muffled, but he still stood in front of the butler and nodded obediently.
The housekeeper looked at him, his eyes hesitant to speak, but in the end he said nothing, just waved his hand, "Secretary Shen, goodbye."
***
Compared with the luxurious villa, Chen Chi prefers his shabby little house.
I just didn't come back for one night and there was no change in the cabin.
Chen Chi first put away the food that the housekeeper had prepared for him. It was called breakfast, but there was a lot of food, including fruit cakes and the like. One person could not finish it at all.
After putting his things away, he sent another message to the housekeeper and then threw himself into the cot.
The clean and fluffy bedding made him start to feel sleepy.
Although he had just gotten up, Chen Chi's eyelids were getting heavy. He didn't know why. Although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep. It was as if his body was missing an important part, making him toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
Finally, he lifted his thin red eyelids and looked at the clothes he had thrown into the trash can not far away.
The bedroom in the rental house was very small. Chen Chi seemed to smell the pheromones of gunpowder on the clothes. He stared at the clothes in a daze. When he came to his senses, he found that he had walked to the trash can.
His heart skipped a beat, which reminded Chen Chi of the last time.
"System, do you still remember my condition during the pseudo-fever period?"
The system also noticed the problem and said solemnly, "Human, I suggest you go to the hospital for another checkup, or go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine first. I still remember the medicine the doctor prescribed for you last time."
Chen Chi didn't like going to the hospital, and his resistance made him choose the pharmacy first.
"I'll go to the pharmacy first."
He forced himself to take his eyes off the clothes, finally took some cash and went straight to the pharmacy outside the community.
Normally, Beta cannot sense any pheromones, but although Chen Chi's current situation is somewhat special, he still knows too little about the physiology of ABO. For example, now, he knows that he has Lu Chenzhou's pheromones on his body, but he doesn't quite understand how strong they are.
It wasn't until we arrived at the pharmacy that the staff there let out a sharp cry.
"Good heavens!"
"Don't come over here yet!"
The staff member was an Alpha female, but her level was a bit low. She was suddenly subjected to such terrifying pheromone suppression, and her face turned pale on the spot, and she retreated repeatedly.
Chen Chi stood blankly at the door, her pretty face full of helplessness.
The staff member cursed, but when he looked up, he suddenly met Chen Chi's face, and finally swallowed all the curse words.
"Where's your Alpha? He marked you and then let you wander around outside alone?" Without waiting for Chen Chi to answer, the staff member cursed angrily at the bite marks on the corners of his mouth and his obviously abused pale face. "Fuck, what a scumbag A! He just marked you and left you alone?"
Chen Chi pursed his lips. His throat was a little hoarse, which made him not want to say too much, so he did not explain, but just asked, "Is there any medicine to suppress the fever?"
The staff member became even angrier. "Little Omega, do you need legal aid? Don't worry, legal aid for Omegas is free. Although I'm also an A, scumbag A's are scum! We can't forgive them so easily!"
Chen Chi shook his head. He was a Beta, so why did he want the privileges of an Omega?
"No, I just want the medicine, thank you."
The staff had no choice but to sell the medicine to him, but he looked so fragile, shaky and full of brokenness that they felt guilty taking his money.
"Alright, I don't want your money. This medicine is subsidized anyway, so it's not worth much."
"But, you really don't want help?"
Chen Chi took the medicine and shook his head, "Thank you, but I really don't want it."
When the staff saw him about to leave, they stopped him again and muttered, "Wait a minute, the suppressant patch, the smell on your body is too strong, put it on."
However, he was out for a short while, less than an hour, and when he returned to the rental house, Chen Chi's face looked even worse.
Just now I was just staring at the suit in the trash can, but now I can't wait to pick up the suit and put it on.
He clutched the medicine in his hand like it was a life-saving straw, his fingertips turning white from exerting so much force.
Without even pouring the water, Chen Chi picked up the medicine and put it into his mouth.
The bitter taste of medicine spread in his mouth, but Chen Chi returned to the bed in a self-deprecating manner, "System, I'm going to sleep for a while."
His voice was hoarse, and unlike that mad dog Lu Chenzhou, Chen Chi's hoarseness was accompanied by a sense of fragility.
The system was heartbroken, and rarely stopped rambling. [Well, go to sleep, I'll watch over you.]
Chen Chi slept for a long time, and when he woke up, it was dark outside.
He didn't draw the curtains when he slept, and the moonlight shone through the window, and you could vaguely see the expression on his face.
The good news is that the unbearable feeling of vulnerability has finally disappeared.
Shen Chi returned to being the smart and calm Secretary Shen.
Bad news, the phone rang.
Chen Chi grabbed the phone, looked at the number on it, and didn't answer it, but the system had turned into an angry brother and started to argue online.
[Fuck? Is that Lu Chenzhou, that bastard?]
[How dare he call me?]
【This shameless guy! 】
[Hey, answer it! If you answer it, I'll curse you, and you'll imitate me. If the penalty system goes off, I'll smash its data tonight!]
