Fortunately, antipyretics are still of some use.
After Xia Tong finished taking his fever-reducing medicine, Lin Mingfei placed him on the bedside, where he lay flat on his back for a while. Alpha then went to pack his belongings for the trip. By the time Lin Mingfei had finished packing and returned, Xia Tong was looking much better than before. He was already sitting by the bed, hunched over, changing his shoes.
Lin Mingfei saw the little Omega bending his fingers to lift the heel several times before he could completely put his foot in. She couldn't help feeling distressed. She walked over and pressed Xia Tong's forehead with her big hand to feel the temperature.
"Are you okay?" He could barely conceal the worry in his voice, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"I'm much better now." Xia Tong raised his head and rubbed his palm like a puppy, smiling slightly. "I don't feel so dizzy anymore, and I have enough strength to walk now!"
The temperature of the forehead during palpation had indeed dropped a lot, and was not as hot as before. However, Xia Tong's complexion still looked unhealthy, with a strange blush on her cheeks, as if she had put on rouge, which made her skin look even paler and more transparent.
"After today's game, we can have a good rest tomorrow." Lin Mingfei said. He didn't know whether he said this to comfort Xia Tong or to comfort himself who was feeling uneasy.
"Yeah." Xia Tong nodded.
Time waits for no one, and Lin Mingfei had no time to hesitate or worry any longer. He Youjin was already urging her outside, so he had no choice but to pick up Xia Tong's backpack and support the little Omega out of the room.
On the way, Xia Tong put a fever-reducing patch on her forehead again, and did not doze off again. Instead, she chewed a few mints to wake up, and shook her head from time to time. She did not complain about the pain, but this made several teammates feel even more uncomfortable.
When the car arrived at the venue, they rarely said hello to the enthusiastic fans gathered nearby, but immediately escorted Xia Tong to the lounge.
Fever-reducing medicine cannot be taken again within a short period of time. The people from Polaris looked at Xia Tong's listless and depressed appearance, and they were all very upset. Even including Shi Ya, the only way to express their concern was to -
"Xia Xiaotong, drink more hot water."
People with a fever are very thirsty, and Xia Tong did not refuse. They took turns "urging" her to drink cup after cup of water. The hot water did make people feel more comfortable, but soon, Xia Tong felt her stomach bloating.
It felt like a water bag was kicked in her body, making a "clanging" sound when she walked. Xia Tong felt that this was not a good way to go. Drinking too much water would make her urinate urgently, and the game was about to start, and the urge to urinate would affect her performance in the game.
The stage in front had already begun announcing the product placement and sponsors. He Youjin was reminded by the stage control staff to take them to the waiting room. Xia Tong thought it was a good time to use the restroom, so she hurriedly said, "Manager He, I'm going to the restroom. I'll be right back."
"Okay, remember to go to the bathroom reserved for guests. Come back quickly. We will wait for you here." He Youjin said.
Xia Tong nodded and trotted over in the direction indicated by the field control.
Maybe it was the cold medicine and fever-reducing medicine that worked together. He really felt that he was much better. If he could hold on a little longer, he should be able to play well in the game. It would be best if he didn't fall behind.
He encouraged himself in his heart, turned a corner and rushed to the bathroom.
There is a common corridor between several restrooms. The restrooms here are for guests only. At this time, several external commentators are broadcasting live in front to warm up the audience, and most of the contestants have gathered in the waiting area, so the restrooms are empty.
Xia Tong originally thought that he would not meet anyone and could quickly solve the problem and return to the main battlefield, but he never expected that he would still bump into a familiar face that was not quite an acquaintance.
Ping Shuai.
The light in the corridor was bright, but when it fell on the thin figure, it inexplicably turned into a suffocating shadow.
Xia Tong's steps stopped instantly. Ping Shuai's hair had been cut shorter, and his clothing had changed significantly. But his impression of Ping Shuai was too deep. Last time at the base, Ping Shuai had violently assaulted him, and then, like a Sichuan opera face-changing, he had sobbed and nearly knelt before Lin Mingfei. Back then, Xia Tong had thought Ping Shuai a twisted monster. He had no way of predicting his behavior, let alone understanding what was going on in his mind.
At that time, Lin Mingfei was by his side, so he wasn't too scared. But now, there was no one around him.
Xia Tong swallowed his saliva and tried to pretend he didn't see Ping Shuai. He turned around and ran to the bathroom. He thought, Ping Shuai is an Alpha, he shouldn't go into an Omega's bathroom! How embarrassing!
But he still overestimated Ping Shuai's character and integrity.
He had just run a few steps inside when Ping Shuai followed closely and grabbed the back of his collar.
Xia Tong screamed in surprise, and then Ping Shuai covered her mouth and dragged her into the male Alpha's bathroom.
Ping Shuai's attack was ruthless and brutal. Xia Tong was thrown against the wall, and the bones of his shoulders and back collided with the tiles, causing pain. Then there was a "bang" sound. Ping Shuai directly locked the door and turned around to grab his wrist.
"You, what are you doing!!" Xia Tong didn't understand what was going on, and tried desperately to hide and struggle, but his strength was completely no match for Ping Shuai, not to mention that he was sick at the moment, so he was restrained by Ping Shuai in a few moves. Ping Shuai pulled off the restraint bracelet on his wrist and threw it away casually -
"Ding bang" the restraining bracelet fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Xia Tong was stunned, and before she could come to her senses, she was pushed to the ground by Ping Shuai.
After several attempts, all the energy that Xia Tong had accumulated with great difficulty throughout the morning was exhausted. He felt dizzy again and even felt like vomiting. He lay on his back on the cold tiles, gasping for breath. The tiles were like a huge black hole, absorbing the heat from his body and injecting the biting cold into his body.
It's over, is the fever coming again...
Xia Tong shivered and subconsciously wanted to curl up.
At this moment, a huge black shadow enveloped him.
"Click, click, click"
Xia Tong was startled suddenly. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Ping Shuai holding a cell phone facing his face.
"Look, why is this Omega's face so red? And he's sweating so much, is he in heat?" Ping Shuai said proudly, moving the camera of his mobile phone horizontally.
Xia Tong was stunned, his pupils shrinking because of such slander. He raised his hand weakly and subconsciously tried to push away Ping Shuai's mobile phone camera, but Ping Shuai slapped it away fiercely.
"What are you saying, slutty? You want it so badly! You even threw away the restraint bracelet!" Ping Shuai sneered maliciously, "Look everyone, this is the backstage of the Royal Tomb Championship, in the male Alpha's bathroom, and this Omega professional player is in heat... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he doesn't even want to play the game, he's just courting here, look at his unsatisfied face--" He suddenly bent his knees, rode on Xia Tong's body to control Xia Tong's movements, prevent Xia Tong from escaping from his video field of view, and then slapped Xia Tong's face.
"You...get away?!" Xia Tong panted violently, his eyes were red. He pinched and punched Ping Shuai, trying his best to push Ping Shuai down.
This little Omega is more troublesome than imagined. Ping Shuai felt a lot of pain from being pinched by him. He was instantly enraged. He gritted his teeth and simply released pheromones.
In a moment, an unpleasant smell hit her nose, as if she had been forced to drink tons of disinfectant through her nose. Xia Tong suddenly collapsed, her strength drained away, and her flesh and blood seemed to have been crushed by a huge wheel with barbs.
It hurts...it hurts so much...I feel like I'm going to split apart.
He took deep breaths, unable to move due to being suppressed. He curled up into a ball, closed his eyes in pain, and bit his lips until they turned white.
"Aren't you very capable? Aren't you showing off because you have a big boss?" Ping Shuai leaned close to his face and grinned sneerfully, "This is the true state of an Omega. As long as I release my pheromones, you'll be nothing but a dog under me."
So scared... He shouldn't be so afraid of Ping Shuai... Why would he give in to such a person...
But he couldn't control...
If Lin Mingfei were here...if Lin Mingfei could give him strength...
Cold sweat dripped down, and the control of the restraining bracelet was lost. The faint fragrance of osmanthus in the Omega's body spread out. Ping Shuai sniffed, and his eyes became a little subtle. He couldn't help but lower his body, moved closer, and touched Xia Tong's earlobe with the tip of his nose.
"Fuck, that smells so good." He said slowly, "It's so fragrant and sultry. No wonder the whole of Polaris is obsessed with you. What do you think would happen if I bit you right now?"
With every word he said, Xia Tong's body stiffened a little, and infinite terror magnified in her body.
"You don't... can't."
"Is it your turn to say no now?" Ping Shuai sneered. He suddenly turned the little Omega over, lifted the loose hair that covered the glands on the back of the neck, and opened his mouth to bite it.
Just when he was within a short distance, Ping Shuai smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.
The fragrance emanated from deep within the glands at the back of Xia Tong's neck, as if it had taken root in the Omega's body and merged into one with it. At this moment, it was like a blow to the head, hitting Ping Shuai on the top of his head.
This? He was very familiar with the smell of Alpha pheromone!
The fear of the pheromone master deep in his soul sprouted in an instant and quickly grew into a big tree, breaking Ping Shuai's courage. He let go of Xia Tong and stood up stepping back, his breathing becoming deep because of fear.
After a long pause, he pointed at Xia Tong in shock, cursing word for word, "You actually dated Zero... Damn it!" He unlocked his phone again, pointed the camera at Xia Tong, and filmed her while gritting his teeth, "This slut has been permanently marked by Polaris's captain, Zero! They're using the team as a cover to fool around in the base and have sex! They're totally shameless!"
Just when he was cursing most happily, the bathroom door was suddenly kicked open.
The hinge connecting the door to the wall was kicked off, and the door fell inward, crashing down on Ping Shuai. Ping Shuai screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing. His peripheral vision shifted to the nearby wash mirror, and through the glass, he saw Lin Mingfei, standing at the doorway, her face livid.
It's like Shura is alive.
