Chapter 57 After returning home, Ji Qian...
After returning home, Ji Qian began packing her luggage.
I plan to go there tonight; I don't want to stay any longer.
He changed his clothes, looked at the alpha on his phone, and said softly, "I'll be there at noon."
"Isn't there still half a month left?"
Ji Qian was a little lost. "I don't want to be alone anymore. I can't sleep without pheromones."
"For the last two weeks, will I have to keep an eye on you at night too?"
He called to ask, and Mingming said he would agree to this special situation. He also inquired about the arrangements for the last half month, and all he found was the exam.
Why not let him go?
He's the one who's pregnant, why can't you be more understanding?
As he spoke, his voice lowered, and he felt like he was making small talk, and wondered if she was getting annoyed by his clinginess.
Is she getting a little impatient with our video chats every three days?
Ji Qian thought about it and realized that if someone else did this, he might also get impatient.
"Okay, then you should be careful and have someone with you."
Ji Qian had no choice but to nod. "Then I'll go there, and you'll come with me, right?"
"Um."
"We agreed before, and that won't change, right?" he asked again, still not entirely convinced.
"Hmm." The voice on the other end was somewhat flat. "Did you book tickets for tonight?"
"We're leaving in a bit." Ji Qian stared at the alpha. "Aren't you...aren't you happy?"
"Maybe it's because I just came from training and I'm a little tired. I'm not upset, I'm just worried that it might be inconvenient for you." Jiang Shi's tone remained calm and even.
Ji Qian didn't say anything, nor did she explain why she needed to take that kind of class, since she was going to leave with him anyway.
The conversation was uneventful and ended quickly.
Ji Qian hung up the phone, somewhat dazed, not knowing why she felt this way.
Why is it so bland?
Ji Qian put her phone in her pocket, pushed her luggage out the door, and stopped thinking about such things.
We've only been apart for a month, things will definitely get better later.
There's no need to do this in advance.
Later, he will have to give birth and go through postpartum confinement, and he will need someone by his side.
Ji Qian opened the door and pushed her suitcase out. Some things in the room were covered with dust covers.
He had asked someone to do this for him beforehand.
Ji Qian looked at the house she had lived in for almost a year, stood at the door, her expressionless face cold, and hesitantly closed the door.
His chin was somewhat pointed, and his turquoise eyes turned cold the moment he hung up the phone.
The decision that should have been somewhat hesitant now seemed irrelevant; the longer she stayed at that school, the more likely she would be affected.
Ji Qian supported her belly, pursed her lips tightly, and subconsciously changed her clothes to suit the alpha's preferences before going out.
Inside the training hall.
Han Yu walked up behind Jiang Shi and patted her on the shoulder, "Who were you chatting with just now while you were sitting here?"
The alpha sitting there was covered in sweat. "Why are you asking this?"
Jiang Shi stood up, picked up the clothes that were placed aside, and said, "I have to go out for a bit. You can practice on your own."
"I heard you applied for a leave of absence. Is that true? My counselor even came to ask me if there was a problem at home or if you were short of money."
"No." Jiang Shi raised his hand and touched the back of his neck; he needed to get a new suppression patch.
It's already 6:30 pm, and there aren't many people outside at this time.
Jiang Shi emerged from the training hall, his clothes still damp, his face expressionless.
She was debating whether to book a hotel or a house. People come and go in hotels, so staying for two or three days would be fine, but she didn't know if there would be any problems staying for half a month.
However, the house lacked some amenities, and there was no time to renovate the interior.
Jiang Shi checked the surrounding area and found a two-story Western-style building nearby based on other people's recommendations.
...
The next morning.
"Hey, are you alone? You came all by yourself with your luggage. Where's your alpha?"
Ji Qian stood beside her suitcase, somewhat bewildered by the sudden question.
The area where he was standing was quite lively, with people coming and going, and announcements coming over the loudspeaker.
Bright lighting and a spacious venue.
“She’s on her way.” His voice was hoarse; he hadn’t spoken for over ten hours.
After parting ways with that person, Ji Qian, supporting her pregnant belly, carefully avoided the crowd and sat in the waiting room, feeling somewhat tired.
He rubbed his lower back and then touched the back of his neck, worried that the patch might not work.
Ji Qian even wanted to look in the mirror, afraid that she would become ugly.
Before he could even get up, he heard the door open.
He saw the alpha pause slightly, then sit there somewhat uneasy, unsure of what to say.
Jiang Shi walked over. "Why are you still afraid to speak?"
She moved closer, placed her hand on the handle, and leaned down to sniff his pheromones.
Soft strands of hair fell down, brushing against the alpha's face. Ji Qian turned her face to let her smell them, and her body involuntarily tensed up.
He unconsciously slowed his breathing, his eyes fixed on a corner where a potted plant with fruit was placed, and a hanging lamp was placed on top of the plant.
That's strange.
She seemed to be getting better and better, while his body was becoming heavier and heavier, and he couldn't even muster any energy all day.
Now he has a big belly and his body is deformed, unlike the young and energetic omegas who come and go outside.
Ji Qian kept a cold face the whole way, and had no energy to pay attention to her expression.
I know what I look like without even looking in a mirror: dull and old-fashioned.
As the weather got hotter, the alpha came over wearing only a short-sleeved shirt. When he got close, he could even see the muscles on her arms and a faint pheromone.
Ji Qian lowered her eyes, her fingers on her thighs slowly curled up, her fingertips digging into her palms, she became somewhat irritable.
Jiang Shi looked up at him, helped him up, and naturally put his arm around his waist.
"Feeling unwell? Does your lower back hurt?"
Her voice was calm and gentle.
It was as if he had found an alpha who was much younger than him.
"without……"
Jiang Shi reached out and took his luggage, saying, "Let's go back first."
Is that all?
Ji Qian was stunned. Being pulled out like this, she thought she would be kissed or something else. But it had already turned out like this.
Ji Qian felt a little wronged and walked forward slowly without saying a word, supporting her belly.
Stepping out of the waiting room, Jiang Shi glanced down at him and saw that he was keeping his head down and not saying a word. "Tired?"
"Um."
"Are you hungry? Have you had breakfast up here?"
Ji Qian remained silent, turning her face away and ignoring her.
"Why are you still angry?" The alpha gently pinched his waist. "I'll hug you in the car."
After exiting the inner area, the driver who was waiting at the entrance took the suitcase from me.
Ji Qian was helped into the car by her waist.
As the car door closed, the view darkened, and the space became cramped.
Ji Qian's breathing quickened, her fingers curled up, and she supported her belly with both hands.
He was carried over and sat on the alpha's lap, his body leaning against her chest.
"We'll be there in about ten days. Things here will be almost settled." Jiang Shi lowered his head and kissed him, then raised his hand to cover his cheek.
His eyes were exceptionally beautiful in the dim light, moist and emerald green, with no other color quite matching his.
His chin was lifted up, and the back of his neck was pressed down, leaving him no way to escape.
"Ugh..." he swallowed, opening his mouth to inhale.
"Next time you're angry, just say it. There's no need to bottle it up." The alpha pulled the man into his arms and gently massaged his thighs and arms.
After all, if you bully someone too much, they're likely to run away.
She buried her face in his collarbone and kissed him, gently parting his collar with the tip of her nose, looking down at his fair and delicate skin, which even smelled sweet.
Ji Qian was panting, her body felt much weaker, one hand focused on her abdomen, while the other hand helplessly clutched her clothes.
Their breathing was particularly noticeable.
Ji Qian was unable to move. She looked down at the head buried in his collarbone and realized where she was being kissed. Her hands, which wanted to struggle, were held down and she couldn't move.
"don't want……"
His voice was soft and gentle, tinged with shyness.
“There’s no milk yet,” she said.
Ji Qian sobbed, shrinking back, but the alpha's kisses and bites were all on the most sensitive parts of her body.
His voice was very low and soft, "Not yet... not the time yet."
"Will we not be able to feed the baby properly?"
He stared with his eyes open and pursed his lips, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He has been eating nourishing foods and medicines that promote lactation, so he should be able to produce milk eventually.
"It's enough that you don't drink," he said softly, his face flushing.
"Don't do that, we're still in the car."
He was being held tightly, his arms wrapped around him, his body pressed against the alpha's, his round, pert belly left to cool.
Ji Qian placed her belly in her hand, "My belly is moving."
Does it hurt?
"It hurts when you kick hard." He rested his face against her chest, his eyes showing fatigue.
Ji Qian gradually calmed down and didn't smell any other possible pheromones on the alpha.
He half-closed his eyes, feeling the alpha's body temperature, and calmed down.
Her body temperature was very high, while Ji Qian's body temperature had always been low.
His fingers gently touched the alpha's exposed arm, his fingertips sliding over and quickly being grasped.
Where are we going?
"Of course we'll go to our accommodation, eat first, and then rest," Jiang Shi said.
Half an hour later, the car drove into the residential area. Instead of buildings, there were individual villas.
Jiang Shi chose a two-story Western-style house with a back garden.
The car stopped, and Jiang Shi lifted the man out and placed him beside him, gently rubbing his lower back in a comforting manner.
After the car drove away, Jiang Shi took his suitcase inside.
Ji Qian followed behind, looking around at the temporary dwelling, supporting her pregnant belly and watching her step carefully.
He went inside to a spacious, bright living room with a door open.
"This place has been empty for a month. Yesterday, someone came in to clean and repair it."
Jiang Shi asked him to sit down and did not tidy up his suitcase.
The next moment, Ji Qian was pressed down on the sofa, her back against a pillow, and her coat was ripped off.
The suppressant patch was peeled off, and sweet pheromones quickly filled the space.
Ji Qian's eyelashes trembled, her body tensed, her head tilted to the side, motionless, breathing heavily through her open mouth.
The temporary mark was neither too long nor too short. Ji Qian's body trembled, and her abdomen stiffened for a moment.
The pain vanished in an instant, replaced by a tingling sensation that spread through the glands. The omega's mind slowed down completely, filled only with a craving for pheromones.
He leaned there, as if he had lost part of his memory. When he opened his eyes again, the alpha was kissing him on the collarbone.
