Chapter 37 Pheromone Dependence
"Duan Huaijin, what are you looking at?"
Yu Chucheng was originally walking side by side with Duan Huaijin. He was enjoying the scenery along the way and unknowingly became two or three steps faster than Duan Huaijin.
The rain last night brought a rare coolness to Kyoto.
Yu Chucheng stood not far away and looked back. The sunlight just shone through the treetops lining the avenue and shone on him, making him look particularly warm and dazzling.
Just like the night when we first met in the previous life.
Duan Huaijin's mind moved slightly, and he followed him, "Nothing, let's go."
That afternoon, after Duan Huaijin returned from the Summer Resort, Lin Mei and Duan Haixiang were both at home.
Lin Mei prepared a sumptuous meal and sat at the table with Duan Haixiang in silence until Duan Huaijin opened the door, then she suddenly stood up.
Before Duan Huaijin could say anything, Lin Mei stepped forward, grabbed his arm and led him to the table, "Where have you been these past two days? Your father and I have been looking for you for a long time."
Duan Huaijin glanced at the hand that was holding him, hiding the disgust in his eyes very well. He did not answer Lin Mei's words, but pretended to be confused and asked: "Mom, is today an important day?"
Lin Mei felt worse than if she had eaten a fly. Today was the day she was blocked by Zhang Hanzhou, and the root of all this was Duan Huaijin.
But for Zhang Hanzhou, she had to calm Duan Huaijin down and cover up the lie as much as possible to prevent Duan Huaijin from becoming suspicious.
"Ah, your grandma was discharged from the hospital today, so your dad and I were so happy that we cooked two more dishes."
Duan Huaijin followed her lead, "Is that so? So you locked me up at home yesterday because you didn't want me to worry about grandma, so you deliberately left me alone?"
Lin Mei was stunned. She didn't expect Duan Huaijin to have thought of a reason for her. She nodded quickly, "Yes, that's what your father and I meant. I'm glad you understand. Mom is worried that you might be thinking too much at home."
This logic is full of loopholes, and only those who want it to come true will believe it.
"So that's how it is. It seems that I misunderstood you before." Duan Huaijin smiled meaningfully. Looking at Lin Mei and Duan Haixiang's emotions changing with his every expression, a sense of pleasure arose spontaneously.
Seeing that Duan Huaijin was so sensible, Lin Mei didn't want to ask him where he went yesterday, so she quickly greeted him, "Come on, come on, eat some food, these are your favorites."
Duan Huaijin glanced at the meat on the table that hadn't been seen for ten days or half a month. Before he started eating, he poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Lin Mei, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
The shaking bottle of boiled water reflected Lin Mei's illusory shadow like a magic mirror. She was not in the mood to drink water, but Duan Huaijin was staring at her with a faint smile on his lips.
Lin Mei slowly picked up the cup, and the moment her lips touched the wall of the cup, Duan Huaijin's smile deepened.
He is like a child who understands his parents' good intentions and sympathizes with their difficulties and hardships.
But Lin Mei felt horrified. She was the one who knew everything, so why did she have the illusion that she was being manipulated?

It happened to be the start of school and military training, so Yu Chucheng stayed in school obediently for a week after returning.
As for the last incident at the villa at night involving a man in black, Zhang Hanzhou didn't mention it and he didn't ask either. Anyway, if it was really Zhang Hanzhou who did it, he wouldn't admit it even if asked.
But what made Yu Chucheng particularly concerned was that if it was really Zhang Hanzhou who ordered it, why would Zhang Hanzhou target Duan Huaijin?
Logically speaking, Duan Huaijin's true background has not been exposed yet. Apart from him, the book-traveling person, and Duan Huaijin's adoptive parents, no one else should know about it...
"That's right." Yu Chucheng's brain seemed to be struck by lightning, "Adoptive parents!"
Although Yu Chucheng is unable to handle everything himself, he has the ability to make money.
He immediately hired a private detective to keep an eye on the movements of Duan Huaijin's adoptive parents.
However, under the mental torture of commuting to and from school every day and the physical torture of military training, Yu Chucheng's body protested severely.
He suffered from insomnia, and it lasted for several nights in a row.
The double torture made his body very sleepy. Every time he fell into bed, his eyelids could not help drooping. However, his nervous system was abnormally excited and he often had trouble falling asleep all night long.
Yu Chucheng tried many methods, from staring at the ceiling and counting sheep to changing his posture in every possible way. Finally, on the fifth day, he broke down and called the family doctor without telling Yu Jingchen.
"What's going on? Why is my body so anti-human lately?" Yu Chucheng asked weakly with dark circles under his eyes.
After the doctor tested his Omega hormone and pheromone concentrations, his tense expression relaxed. "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Your insomnia is because you have developed a pheromone dependence, which is probably related to your recent temporary marking."
"What?!" Yu Chucheng was dumbfounded. "What is this?"
"Pheromone dependence is a normal physiological phenomenon. Temporary marking between highly matched AOs can easily make Omega dependent on Alpha's pheromones, and also increase Alpha's desire to protect Omega. We call this bidirectional syndrome."
The doctor's words were spinning in Yu Chucheng's mind like a mantra. The only thing he cared about now was how to get better. He really wanted to have a good night's sleep.
"What should we do then?"
The doctor said, "It's simple. Just have more contact with the Alpha or keep items with the other person's pheromones by your side and you can relieve the problem. This is called counseling."
Yu Chucheng rejected it immediately, "No, you should prescribe some medicine for me. I don't want counseling. I want to solve the problem from the root."
The doctor spread his hands helplessly, "My young master, I've already said this is not a disease, this is very normal, and the root of everything lies in you. As long as you can bear it and overcome it, you will naturally not have this symptom."
Perhaps because Yu Chucheng looked so hopeless, the doctor paused and added, "If all else fails, you can collect some of the other person's pheromones. I'll make a pheromone extract for you, and you can just drop a few drops in it and smell it every day."
Yu Chucheng looked expressionless, "Isn't this abnormal?"
Besides, if you rely on people, they will run away; if you rely on mountains, they will fall. He should just bear with it himself.
I don't believe it. He can endure it for ten days or half a month. Even if he is sleepy to death, he will not succumb to this addiction.
Yu Chucheng set up a flag with a fearless attitude, but within less than half a day, the flag fell.
Lying in bed late at night, Yu Chucheng felt as if his heart was scratched by a cat. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The glands on the back of his neck were a little itchy, but the itch was hidden under the skin and he couldn't scratch it no matter how hard he scratched.
Yu Chucheng sat up in an irritable mood, opened Duan Huaijin's WeChat countless times and closed it countless times.
How should he tell this to Duan Huaijin?
Should I say, hey brother, I'm a little addicted to your smell, can you let me smell it a few more times?
Yu Chucheng casually put on a coat and planned to find Ji Zhou to verify whether Duan Huaijin was the only one.
As far as he knew, Ji Zhou was an A-level Alpha, which was quite rare. He didn't know if only Duan Huaijin's pheromones were useful, or if being an Alpha was enough.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" Ji Zhou, with his messy hair, yawned as he opened the door.
After seeing the dark circles under Yu Chucheng's eyes, he pouted and said, "Why are you cosplaying as a panda so late at night?"
Yu Chucheng rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense, release some pheromones, I want to confirm something."
"What's the matter?" Ji Zhou was curious, but he still controlled the amount and obediently released a little.
Ji Zhou's pheromone has a sweet and sour orange flavor, and Yu Chucheng usually likes eating oranges.
But he sniffed twice, and suddenly arched his back -
"vomit!"
Ji Zhou, who was originally quite confident in his personal charm, was petrified on the spot. He stared at Yu Chucheng in disbelief. The friendship between the two was turned upside down.
"No! Yu Chucheng!!" Ji Zhou's angry and amused questioning broke out in the corridor, "There are countless ways to disgust me, do you really have to pull me out in the middle of the night and vomit in front of me?!"
