Chapter 21: Perfume Husband, Where Are Your Pheromones?
The next morning, Yu You packed his luggage and went back with Jiang Xunzhou.
When Yu You got out of the car at the villa gate, Aunt Liu, who was in charge of daily cooking, ran over to open the door with a big smile on her face: "Xiao Yu is back?"
Yu You said excitedly, "Aunt Liu, I'm back! I don't have to control my weight anymore, I can eat as much as I want!"
"That's good." Aunt Liu was also happy and hurriedly made way. "Boss Jiang said you were coming back today, so he asked me to make a more sumptuous meal and cut up some pineapple for you. I'll bring it to the living room right away."
In the villa, there was a gurgling sound coming from the direction of the kitchen, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.
As soon as Yu You pushed the suitcase in, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and then went straight to the living room.
A crystal glass bowl was placed on the coffee table. Small pieces of golden pineapple were chilled and tasted cool. The sour and sweet aroma made people salivate.
Yu You sat on the sofa, picked up the pineapple bowl, and took several photos with his mobile phone.
Jiang Xunzhou noticed that Yu You particularly liked taking photos, snapping pictures here and there. He walked over and asked, "Do you want to take a picture of the pineapple too?"
"Of course."
Yu You tilted his head slightly, his clear eyes reflecting the light. The silver fork in his hand poked a piece of pineapple, waving it proudly in the air. "You told me last time that Auntie saw I liked pineapple, so she cut a bowl for me. To me, this is proof that someone cares about me, so I have to take a picture to remember it."
This is a habit he brought from his previous life.
An orange casually given to him by a crew member, a handwritten letter of encouragement from a fan, a cat that turned its belly over to him when it met him on the street...
He likes to capture these lost kindness and love by taking photos and look at them from time to time.
The people you meet in life come and go, with only brief intersections. The fans who once said they would support him for life may change their hearts and use the same sweet words to express their love to another idol, and then meow like a kitten turning over its belly at him and hide in the bushes, never to be seen again.
But that care and love did exist for a moment in the past.
Whenever Yu You sees the photo, he will recall his mood at that time.
Being remembered and cared about is the happiest thing in the world, just like a sparkling piece of gem.
He collected these fragments, kept them in his treasure chest, and lived for these gem fragments.
Jiang Xunzhou asked: "If I treat you well, you will remember it. If I treat you badly, won't you be very sad?"
"I'm sure it will be sad." Yu You said naturally, "But it doesn't matter. I will try my best to forget it."
In his previous life, people he considered friends had their roles snatched away from him and slandered him, and the role of friend no longer existed in his life.
"That's all?" Jiang Xunzhou frowned. "Aren't you angry? Don't you want to retaliate?"
"But since it has already happened, there's no point in getting angry." Yu You explained, "Instead of tearing each other apart, it's better to just separate and keep the memories of when we were good friends."
Jiang Xunzhou's lips were pursed into a straight line, his eyes were dark, and he seemed very dissatisfied.
"You're unhappy?" Yu You asked hesitantly, "Why?"
Jiang Xunzhou said, "Have you never learned how to be angry?"
Yu You was stunned.
Thinking back carefully, it seems to be true.
His gender was determined through blood at birth. He was raised by the Omega Management and Protection Association along with many other children. He wore one-size-fits-all clothes donated by the society and played with common toys. He owned very few things of his own, and under the centralized management system, emotions were a luxury.
Being quiet and well-behaved is the best answer under discipline. When a quarrel occurs over toys, no supervisor will ask the reason or judge the fault. Instead, everyone involved will be locked up in a confinement room to calm down.
When a conflict occurs, avoidance is the best option.
This is a lesson he learned since childhood.
When I was a little older, the courses taught by teachers who were also Omegas were flower arranging, cooking and how to better please the future partner Alpha. Fortunately, the outbreak of the equal rights movement later led to the Omega Management Association being taken over by new forces, and there were more course options.
He took acting classes and after entering the circle, he was gradually noticed and gained a lot of love and likes. However, once he encountered a conflict, he habitually followed the principles he learned in his childhood.
Yu You became confused.
Is anger an emotion that must be learned?
Jiang Xunzhou suddenly leaned over, and his large palm wrapped around Yu You's wrist with irresistible force, and his body leaned closer.
Yu You widened his eyes, watching Jiang Xunzhou's handsome face getting closer and bigger until it was just inches away. Then the man lowered his head and bit off the pineapple piece on his silver fork.
Jiang Xunzhou's thin lips were stained with a little juice, showing a bit of red. He raised his eyelids, and his dark pupils were blurred with a bit of evil smile.
"You're out of pineapples."
In that moment of distraction, Yu You's hand felt lighter, and Jiang Xunzhou took away the fork and the whole bowl of pineapple.
Yu You finally reacted, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and suddenly became anxious: "Why are you arguing with me again? This is something that Auntie specially left for me. Didn't you promise to give it to me last time?"
"I agreed, but I regret it." Jiang Xunzhou said lazily, "If you want to eat it, come and grab it yourself."
He stood up and raised the pineapple bowl in his hand.
Yu You subconsciously reached out to grab it, grabbing his clothes with one hand and stretching up with the other hand, but there was a height difference and he couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.
She almost fell on Jiang Xunzhou, but Jiang Xunzhou held back his laughter and stretched out his arm to support her waist.
Yu You couldn't snatch it away from him, his eyes were red, and he was angry and anxious: "Jiang Xunzhou, are you childish?"
When he called out his full name, he was startled for a moment and looked at Jiang Xunzhou's face in panic to see the reaction.
"Don't you know how to get angry?"
Jiang Xunzhou curled his lips and stuffed the pineapple bowl into Yu You's hand.
Yu You held the glass bowl in his hands, his expression dazed, his eyes filled with confusion: "Are you just trying to see if I'll be angry?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xunzhou nodded, "But it doesn't have much deterrent power. I need to practice more, otherwise I'll still be easily bullied outside. I can bully others, but I can't let others bully me."
Yu You was stunned.
Isn't there no Alpha in this world?
How does Jiang Xunzhou become more Alpha-oriented than Alpha?
Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's face and said with a smile: "I still have work to do. I'll go back to the study. Send me a message when you're ready to eat."
Yu You repeated to himself countless times that this was his immediate superior and he couldn't turn his face against him. He took a deep breath and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, hubby."
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his eyes to look at him, and suddenly said, "It doesn't matter if you really can't learn to be angry. If you encounter any problems, just come to me like Jiang Mingyan did."
After all, he can protect it.
Yu You almost couldn't keep the smile on his face: "Husband, I haven't met anyone who bullies me except you."
Jiang Xunzhou nodded calmly: "That's good."
He went upstairs and left Yuyou sitting alone on the sofa, holding the glass bowl in his arms, feeling indignant.
Who is this!
After the previous crew finished filming, the director recommended a script that a friend of his had to him. After reading it, Yu You wanted to take it.
The director was famous for his unique style and didn't like capital interference. At first, he was not very willing to see Yu You. Yu You ran two or three times before he got the chance to audition. He even auditioned with other actors for two rounds before he was finally approved.
However, the subject matter of the script is special, the early preparation period is long, and the shooting will not start until the next month. Yu You did not read other scripts, nor did he ask Shi Sanlin to help him take on variety shows. He studied the script on his own.
Jiang Xunzhou was afraid that he would be bored at home every day, so he took him to the company. Yu You thought that he could also fix the character of the contract CP, so he happily followed him to and from get off work every day. As soon as he entered Jiang Xunzhou's office, he would consciously go to the lounge at the back.
Everyone in Xingtian Entertainment knew that Yu You was being favored, and President Jiang doted on him to the point that he even brought him with him to work.
Jiang Xunzhou also discovered the benefits of having an open partner. When attending business dinners, he could openly leave early with the excuse that "someone is waiting for me at home."
In the past, when meeting industry leaders of my parents’ generation, I had to politely make up a reasonable excuse to refuse a drink.
It has become much simpler now. I can just block it out by saying, "My boyfriend doesn't like me drinking, and he will get angry and lock the door and not let me go home." I don't mind at all when being teased about being henpecked, and I even solidify this concept quietly.
He also took Yu You home for dinner several times during the trip, and was "accidentally" photographed by the media. Coupled with Su Qiuling's interactive comments under Yu You's Weibo last time, some rumors became more and more intense.
Old Master Jiang finally lost his patience and called Jiang Xunzhou, asking indirectly why he didn't bring it back for him to see if he was sure.
"Little Fish is still young, and his mind is on filming, so it's hard to say whether he's certain or not."
Jiang Xunzhou leaned back in his office chair, his deep brows and eyes were low, and on his thin wrists he wore an obsidian watch and an iris diamond bracelet, reflecting the refracted light.
His bony fingers tapped the tabletop intermittently, the sound neither fast nor slow, revealing a gentle feeling.
"You know my mother's temper. When she heard I was dating, she couldn't wait to meet him. I took him home a few times, but I never thought the media would take pictures of us once and report it so exaggeratedly, even making up some story about changing our names, as if they had seen it with their own eyes."
"Of course not, just a simple meal."
"Well, I'll bring him back to visit you after a while. How are you recuperating at the resort lately?"
Jiang Xunzhou asked a few more questions about Mr. Jiang's health, then hung up the phone and rubbed his eyebrows.
He stood up, walked to the lounge and opened the door.
It was dimly lit inside, with a small bulge on the bed. The air was filled with the sharp scent of vetiver and the rich, almost sweet aroma of iris.
Yu You has started to particularly like vetiver perfume these past few days. He not only sprays it in the guest bedroom where he sleeps, but also in the lounge in the office.
Sometimes when the two of them took a nap in the same bed, Jiang Xunzhou would be woken up by the boy in his arms, and he would find that Yu You was like a kitten, with his wet nose pressed against his neck, sniffing closely and closely.
Now there is only the last bottle of vetiver perfume left, and it has almost been used up by Yu You. The stock is almost empty. Jiang Xunzhou has no choice but to ask his foreign partners to help him buy a few more bottles of the same perfume.
He walked over to the bed and expertly pulled the person out from under the covers: "Baby Xiaoyu, wake up. If you continue to sleep, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
The young man groaned vaguely and raised his flushed face. There was a little sweat on his face, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead.
"Why is your face so red?"
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, worry flashing in his eyes. He touched Yu You's forehead with the back of his slightly cool hand and asked, "Do you have a fever?"
Yu You's eyes were misty and watery, with a bright red tint at the corners of his eyes.
The young man panted rapidly and climbed onto Jiang Xunzhou's legs. He snuggled into his arms and pressed his face against the man's neck, sniffing around with his nose.
During this month, Yu You followed Jiang Xunzhou around eating and drinking, and finally returned to his previous weight. His narrow waist also gained some flesh, and it no longer felt prickly to the touch. His butt was also soft. At this moment, he was rubbing against Jiang Xunzhou's legs, almost pressing on a place he shouldn't have pressed.
Jiang Xunzhou put a hand on Yu You's waist to prevent him from moving and falling, and asked, "Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Where are your pheromones?"
Yu You's fingertips were pink as he wrinkled the fabric of Jiang Xunzhou's shirt. He tilted his head back, panting softly, his voice tinged with a sob of grievance: "Why can't I smell it?"
Jiang Xunzhou had already made it clear to Yu You that pheromones equated to perfume, and he coaxed her gently, "There's only a little bit left in that bottle of perfume, so you can keep it. I asked a friend to buy a new one, but they're out of stock in their city. They're trying to find the same one in other cities for me, but they haven't heard back yet. Maybe I'll be able to buy it and send it back to China in a few days."
Yu You's mind was in a mess, and he finally remembered where he had put the only remaining bottle of perfume. He quickly stood up, took the perfume bottle under the pillow, and put it in Jiang Xunzhou's hand.
The transparent perfume bottle had a silver label on it, with only a thin layer of liquid left inside.
Jiang Xunzhou understood what he meant, pressed the pump head, and sprayed the last bit of perfume on the side of his neck.
The body temperature at the side of the neck is higher, the pulse beats faster, and the blood circulation is faster. When the perfume is sprayed on, the refreshing and cold scent of vetiver spreads like mist, wrapped in the scent of hormones.
Yu You impatiently arched forward, wrapping his arms around Jiang Xunzhou's back, pressing his upturned nose against the skin of his neck, rubbing it back and forth eagerly, with a broken moan coming from his throat.
The young man's impact was so strong that he pushed Jiang Xunzhou directly onto the bed. He kept squeezing and rubbing against him as if he wanted to nestle into his arms, and pulled Jiang Xunzhou's arms around his waist.
"Hold me..."
Yu You spoke in a soft and coquettish voice.
Jiang Xunzhou's ears flushed red, his Adam's apple rolled, and he reached out and put his arm around Yu You's waist, and whispered a lecture: "Okay, we're still in the company, I have a few more meetings later, don't make too much trouble."
Yu You bit Jiang Xunzhou's chin and angrily accused him, "You're so mean to me!"
Is this fierce?
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.
Yesterday, Yu You didn't dare to get angry when he snatched the two pieces of pork ribs from his bowl, and he just kept it to himself. But today he changed his nature and dared to lose his temper in front of him?
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes held a faint smile, and his voice became even softer: "Okay, then I'll postpone all my meetings this afternoon and stay with you. But first, let me get a thermometer. Your temperature is a bit high now, you might have a fever."
Yu You sniffed Jiang Xunzhou's breath for a long time before finally regaining some composure. He slowly let go of his hand and panted softly, "I don't have a fever. It's just that my temperature is high after I woke up. I'm fine. You can go back to work first."
Considering the anxiety he had felt over the past two days, Yu You calculated the time and felt something was wrong.
If I hadn't noticed, how could it be that the next passionate period was approaching? And it was coming with even more force, even more intense than the last time.
Jiang Xunzhou asked to confirm: "Are you really okay? You don't need me to accompany you?"
"Need not."
Yu You shook his head and said, "I can just rest here by myself."
He tried to sit up by himself, but his legs went weak and he almost fell back onto Jiang Xunzhou.
Jiang Xunzhou was a little worried, but Yu You insisted that he was fine, so he had no choice but to agree: "Then if you still feel uncomfortable later, remember to tell me."
Yu You nodded, and after Jiang Xunzhou left, he propped himself up and went to the bathroom in the lounge to take a cold shower.
After washing, he sent a message to Shi Sanlin, saying that he would concentrate on studying the script in the next few days.
The symptoms are relatively mild during the first two days of the passionate period and can be overcome on their own.
He planned to stay at home alone starting tomorrow, not follow Jiang Xunzhou to the company, and not see anyone. He would wait until the concentrated outbreak time of those three days, and then find a reason to bring up this matter with Jiang Xunzhou.
Yu You was a little worried.
I don’t know if pretending to be drugged again will work.
Jiang Xunzhou met two important clients in the afternoon and returned to the lounge. Despite Yu You's objection, he held him in his arms and forcibly took his temperature, and found that he did have a low fever.
Yu You insisted that he was fine, so Jiang Xunzhou simply took his people back early and asked Aunt Liu to find some antipyretic medicine for Yu You.
After returning home, Yu You refused to take the medicine. Even Aunt Liu's persuasion was useless. He hid in the guest bedroom, locked the door, and said he wanted to sleep.
Knowing that Yu You had a low fever, Aunt Liu specially prepared a light dinner, and this time she finally coaxed Yu You out of the room.
As soon as Aunt Liu got off work, Jiang Xunzhou pulled Yu You into his arms, intending to repeat the same trick and take his temperature again.
Yu You struggled violently while sitting on his legs: "I'm fine! Don't, don't touch me..."
Jiang Xunzhou was so angry that he slapped him on the butt: "You're still making trouble when you're sick?"
He didn't pay attention to the strength when he hit her, and the boy's eyes were filled with tears in pain. He looked at him while biting his lip.
Jiang Xunzhou softened his heart and coaxed her in a softer voice, "Baby, if your fever doesn't go away, you'll need medicine to get better. Be a good boy, okay?"
Seeing that he could not resist, Yu You became completely wilted. He curled up dejectedly in Jiang Xunzhou's arms and stopped talking.
Sure enough, the thermometer showed that I still had a low fever.
Yu You took the fever-reducing medicine under Jiang Xunzhou's supervision, and finally couldn't help but tell the truth: "As long as you stay away from me for the next two days, I'll be fine..."
Probably because they had physical contact during the last mating period, once he knew what it felt like, the desire turned into a more specific desire. Now, whenever he got close to Jiang Xunzhou, his whole body would become hot and weak, and even in the early stages of the passionate period, he began to feel anxious and unbearable.
Jiang Xunzhou thought he was trying to escape and coldly refused: "No, if your fever hasn't subsided by tomorrow, I'll call the family doctor."
Yu You closed his eyes in despair, and a pitiful sob escaped from his throat.
Jiang Xunzhou went to the study and continued working on his computer, planning to go to the guest bedroom later to check on Yu You.
At nine o'clock in the evening, an online meeting was in progress. When the subordinates were reporting on their work, the door of the study suddenly opened.
Jiang Xunzhou subconsciously raised his head and saw Yu You standing barefoot on the floor in pajamas, looking at him with a dazed look in his eyes.
It was already late autumn, and it was not time to turn on the heating yet. The temperature at night was chilly, and the floor was icy cold.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes when you have a fever?"
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, gestured to pause the meeting, and then hurriedly stood up.
He walked over a few steps, picked up Yu You and held him horizontally. He immediately felt something was wrong: "Is your temperature rising again?"
Yu You didn't respond. He put his arms around Jiang Xunzhou's shoulders and moved closer to his neck eagerly, trying to find a familiar smell. His nose moved twice, and then he suddenly froze.
He raised his head, looked at Jiang Xunzhou, and without any warning, he pouted and suddenly burst into tears.
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned.
The young man cried silently, his eyes were red, and big tears rolled out of his eye sockets, falling straight down and hitting Jiang Xunzhou's heart one after another.
"Honey, where are your pheromones?"
Yu You's voice trembled, and he asked in a sobbing tone, looking so sad that he almost fainted: "Why is it gone again?"
Jiang Xunzhou took a shower after dinner and changed into formal clothes for the online meeting in the evening. The new citron amber shower gel in the bathroom directly covered the remaining vetiver scent on his body, and the scent originally on his clothes also disappeared completely.
“I, I…”
Jiang Xunzhou was at a loss, panicked, and hurriedly coaxed: "I'll go spray perfume now--"
As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered that the last bit of vetiver perfume had been sprayed this afternoon, and I couldn't help but feel a headache.
But Yu You in his arms couldn't stop crying, and Jiang Xunzhou couldn't understand why the lack of perfume would lead to such a situation.
But without time to think about the reason, he carried Yu You back to bed and tucked him into the warm quilt, then called Assistant Wan and asked him to send someone to the nearby shopping mall to buy vetiver perfume and send it over.
It was past nine in the evening and many shopping malls were close to closing time. Not only the assistant department, but even the bodyguard team rushed out in a hurry. It was with great difficulty that they finally found a bottle of purple vetiver perfume.
This bottle of perfume had been reserved in advance by someone else, and I paid three times the price to buy it.
But when Jiang Xunzhou sprayed perfume on his wrist, Yu You just leaned over to smell it, and the tears that had just stopped flowing suddenly burst out again, falling even harder.
"It's different. This isn't your pheromone..."
The brands are different, and although the main note is vetiver, the other scents used for blending are different.
Jiang Xunzhou clumsily wiped the tears from Yu You's face with his palm. For the first time, he felt what it meant to be in a state of panic. He wanted to kneel down in front of him: "Do you have to have that brand of perfume? Is it because I forced you to take antipyretics tonight that you got angry and are deliberately going against me?..."
When he looked into Yu You's red eyes from crying, he was at a loss and could not say anything harsh. He could only sigh.
Fortunately, she finally remembered that after receiving the perfume from the brand, she also gave a bottle to Su Qiuling, and hurriedly called her mother.
It was past ten in the evening. Su Qiuling was applying a facial mask and preparing to go to bed when she received a call from Jiang Xunzhou. She was puzzled: "Why did Xunzhou call me at this time?"
Jiang Junran, who was standing next to him, was also surprised: "Is there something urgent? Hurry up and answer the phone."
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Xunzhou didn't have time to explain the reason. He got straight to the point and said, "Mom, do you still have that bottle of vetiver perfume I gave you? Have you used it?"
Su Qiuling runs a perfume brand, and there are countless perfumes in the dressing room. She wondered, "I still have them, but I don't use them. What's wrong?"
"Very good."
Jiang Xunzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll send someone over to get it right away."
"Now?"
Su Qiuling was even more puzzled. "What's wrong with this bottle of perfume? Why are you in such a hurry to get it tonight? If you need it, can't I have someone send it to you tomorrow?"
Jiang Xunzhou smiled bitterly and loosened his tie: "It's urgent, really urgent, I can't wait a moment."
