Chapter 16 His God
The sunlight filtered through the window screens, leaving tiny spots of light on the bedroom floor. The red roses on the bedside table were in full bloom, and the crystal water droplets on the petals reflected the sleeping person on the bed.
Ji Xia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she woke up after a moment.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and after focusing his vision, he stared blankly at the beautiful ceiling light for several seconds. Then, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, looked around in horror, and his heart trembled. It was an unfamiliar place.
Thinking of meeting Chen Chaofei last night, Ji Xia suddenly felt a chill in his bones.
After being affected by the pheromones, he became confused and his memories after that became fuzzy. He only remembered... he seemed to be...
Ji Xia's eyelashes trembled violently. He slowly raised his hand and touched the gland. He touched something that frightened him. There were bite marks on his gland.
In an instant, the blood drained from his face and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
He was marked.
Ji Xia knew that when an Omega was marked by an Alpha, it meant that the Omega would submit to the Alpha for the rest of his life and be controlled by the Alpha's scent.
In that dream, Ji Xia was marked three times.
He hated the Alphas who imprisoned him, but every time his fever period came, he would kneel on the ground like a dog and beg for their charity.
Ji Xia's eyes suddenly turned red. So, no matter how hard he tried, he was finally pulled back to the plot. He was marked by Chen Chaofei and was locked up again like in the dream?
Ji Xia's face was as pale as paper, his thoughts in a mess. He was terrified of what happened in his dream, and those terrible days and nights made his spine shiver.
If the rest of his life is already determined, what is the point of him living?
At this moment, he thought of death.
His eyes also moved to the half-open window.
The scene of him standing in front of the counter packing bread for customers emerged in his mind. It was his dream to open a small bakery in a small town.
But the reality was too cruel. No matter how hard he struggled and tried his best, he couldn't reach that place.
A tear slid down the corner of my eye, and then, drop after drop, I couldn't stop it.
Ji Xia knew from a young age that crying was useless; it didn't solve any problems and only made the abuser happier. He wiped away his tears, telling himself not to give up. As long as he was alive, there was still hope.
He thought of Fu Yuan, and his vague and empty thoughts of hope finally found a place to rest.
Ji Xia didn't know if Mr. Fu would look for him if he disappeared, but he could ask Mr. Fu for help. Thinking of this, he was disheartened to find that he didn't have Mr. Fu's contact information at all.
But on second thought, he could contact Dr. Chen first, and then let Dr. Chen tell Mr. Fu.
Ji Xia's dull eyes lit up again. He sat up, looked around the bed, and finally found his cell phone on the bedside table.
He was delighted and reached out to take the phone. At this moment, the door was opened with a "click".
Hearing the door open, Ji Xia froze like a frightened rabbit. His eyes widened with fear as he slowly moved his head to look towards the door.
Ji Xia couldn't describe the feeling he had at that moment when he saw who the person coming in was. A thought flashed through his mind: if there really were gods in the world, they must look like the man in front of him.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Fu Yuan saw that the Omega's face was frighteningly pale, frowned slightly, and asked.
Ji Xia stared at Alpha with his eyes wide open, not blinking, looking a little dazed. After Fu Yuan approached, he raised his hand and touched the back of the man's hand. The warm touch made him sure that this was not a dream, but real.
He choked up a little and asked in a hoarse voice, "Was it Mr. Fu who saved me last night?"
Fu Yuan looked at Xiao O for a moment and said, "Yes. You were in a false estrus last night. It was an emergency, so I temporarily marked you without your consent."
The information was overwhelming, and Ji Xia's slow brain raced through several layers of information before he could fully process Alpha's words. The faint sense of despair on his face transformed into a wave of astonishment. He had been marked by Mr. Fu!
Fu Yuan observed the changes in Ji Xia's expression and said, "I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable. But if you use inhibitors, it will damage your glands."
Ji Xia immediately shook her head like a rattle. "No. If it's Mr. Fu, I'm very comfortable."
"Congratulations to the host, Mr. Fu's favorability +10."
Fu Yuan coughed lightly and said, "You should have a good rest. I still have work to do. If you need anything, call the housekeeper."
He turned to leave, paused, turned back, and held out his hand to Ji Xia. "Give me your phone."
Ji Xia didn't understand what was going on, but still obediently handed over the phone.
Fu Yuan took it, fiddled with it, and handed it back. "My number. Call me if you encounter something you can't solve next time."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Mr. Fu."
After Fu Yuan left, Ji Xia looked at the phone number and couldn't suppress the curve of her lips.
This was his life-saving number. After noting Mr. Fu, he thought about it and decided it would be safer to memorize it. He spent more than ten minutes, repeating the number over and over again no less than a hundred times, until he had memorized it.
After noting it down, Ji Xia subconsciously opened VX, and VX immediately pushed the newly added friend accounts in the address book to him.
Ji Xia carefully clicked on the request to add a friend.
But he waited for a moment and didn't receive any notification that the message was accepted, which made him feel a little disappointed.
Returning to the message interface, he saw that Dr. Chen had sent him several voice calls yesterday. Judging from the time, it was around the time he entered the bar.
It was so noisy at the time that he didn't notice it and didn't answer it.
Ji Xia immediately sent a message back to tell Dr. Chen that he was fine.
The next second, the phone vibrated and Chen Xi's video call popped up.
Ji Xia answered the call.
"My dear, you nearly frightened me to death."
Chen Xi's entire face was pressed against the screen. His beard was untidy, his eyes were dark circles, and he looked haggard. "Look at me, look at me, what have I become?"
Ji Xia took it upon herself to follow Xu Ancheng into the bar. Knowing that she had made Dr. Chen worried, she quietly apologized, "I'm sorry."
Seeing his sincere apology, Chen Xi couldn't be angry anymore. Besides, he was just worried and wasn't mad at Ji Xia. "Don't act on your own again next time, okay? If you do it again, I'll be dead. While that idiot Chen Chaofei deserved his fate, it was still scary!"
When Ji Xia heard the name Chen Chaofei, his body shook instinctively and he felt physiologically nauseous.
There was a tremor in his voice, but he still asked, "What happened to Chen Chaofei?"
Chen Xi exaggerated, "His hands were crippled, he was stripped naked and thrown into the street. But that wasn't the worst. The worst was that after his video spread to every corner of the world, he was taken away and forced to work a sewing machine. Mr. Fu is truly cruel!"
Ji Xia argued, "He made a mistake and deserves to be punished. Mr. Fu was just helping me."
Chen Xi: "Mr. Fu's help to you has come at a high price. This time, Fu Yuan has finally broken with his stepfather. His stepfather is quite resourceful and has a son who can have children, which is very disadvantageous to Mr. Fu. The old man has remained neutral on the issue of the successor. If Mr. Fu still refuses to give in, he will most likely side with Jian Qinghe. At that time, Mr. Fu will be in a very difficult situation."
Ji Xia remembered that Fu Su had already received Xu Ancheng's promise and should be able to get the land soon. However, he still had a chance. He wanted to win over Xu Ancheng to tonight's charity dinner.
He said, "I will help Mr. Fu. I will find a way to get that piece of land."
Hearing that he was still thinking about getting the land, Chen Xi disagreed and said, "I heard that Fu Su has hooked up with Xu Ancheng, so there's no hope for this piece of land. But don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities. We'll try to perform well next time."
Ji Xia: "Doctor Chen, please take me to the charity dinner tonight. I want to try again."
Chen Xi had been warned by Fu Yuan and didn't dare to go against his will. He could only say vaguely, "Xia Xia, I may not be able to take you to the dinner tonight. Something's going on."
Ji Xia pursed her lips and said, "Okay. Then I'll think of a way myself."
Chen Xi immediately thought of Ji Xia's desperate attempt to enter the mansion, and reluctantly compromised, "Okay, okay. I'll take you there. I'll pick you up tonight. But you must stay with me at all times and not wander off on your own."
Ji Xia agreed immediately.
Chen Xi suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Xia Xia, how does it feel to be marked with an A?"
Ji Xia was caught off guard by the question, his ears reddening, and he didn't want to answer. But after Dr. Chen's repeated questioning, he could only vaguely say, "I wasn't fully conscious at the time, and I didn't feel anything."
Chen Xi: "That's such a shame. When O is marked by A, it feels almost like □□, very pleasant."
Ji Xia's face turned red when he suddenly heard these vicious words.
Chen Xi: "Xia Xia, you just differentiated into an Omega, so you probably don't understand a lot of physiological knowledge. Doctor Chen, let me explain it to you. Do you know that Omegas have a fever period every month?"
Ji Xia always felt weird about having an Alpha teach him about Omega's physiology, but Dr. Chen was a doctor, and he really needed to know some basic physiological knowledge, so he nodded reluctantly.
Chen Xi: "An Omega's heat phase is also called estrus. Does he know what that means?"
Ji Xia's face turned as red as a tomato and her lips were pressed into a straight line.
Chen Xi: "Originally, if an Omega didn't have an Alpha partner, they could use suppressants during their heat phase. However, this wasn't possible for a Marked Omega. A Marked Omega needs an Alpha's mark during their estrus phase, or they need to have sex or have intercourse with an Alpha to alleviate their heat. Otherwise, they'd be in a state worse than death."
Ji Xia's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Chen Xi: "I've calculated for you, your first estrus period will be at the end of next month. You've been marked, so the inhibitors won't work on you. You need to ask Mr. Fu to mark you again or..."
Ji Xia interrupted him or the following words, and said in a panic: "I understand. I will ask Mr. Fu to give me a mark when the time comes."
Chen Xi gave a meaningful smile and said, "Baby, you can go to bed too."
Ji Xia's hands trembled and he hung up the call.
