Chapter 22 Hug "What are you smelling?"
A few days later, the video about "The Emperor Talks About Vera" was released.
Although it was just a very new official account, its popularity was quickly boosted by the official account. Shi Wei was on tenterhooks every day as she watched the number of views and comments skyrocket.
In the final version, both she and His Majesty clearly let loose, especially His Majesty, whose吐槽 (tu cao, a form of sarcastic commentary) was truly infuriating; it felt like even the former head of state would be driven mad by it if he were alive.
As public opinion fermented, it gradually shifted towards the Emperor.
1L: "Your Majesty, have you become this sophisticated at insulting people? I still miss the unruly you from before..."
2L: "Why do I feel like I can hear laughter from the camera???"
3L: "It might be your own voice, but the camera angle was shaking the whole time, so the cameraman was probably really laughing."
4L: "I think so too, because I was laughing too, hahaha, the Emperor's line at the end, 'Everyone's dead, that's when it's a killer kill,' really hit."
...
28L: "I feel Your Majesty is truly wronged. Lapar retired long ago, why assassinate him? Is the Security Bureau so idle?"
29L: "I think so too. It feels like the current head of state is stirring things up... Lapar was suppressed by His Majesty during his peak, which ruined Villa's national fortune. His Majesty should be quite grateful to him."
...
Some with an exceptionally keen sense of smell commented: "Why does it seem like His Majesty has become more cheerful since returning from the battlefield? He smiled at the camera several times during the previous live stream too."
Some people countered: "Kailang? Who was it that cursed people in front of hundreds of millions of people on live stream last month? This video is definitely fabricated, deliberately made to make you believe him! It must have been done by the National Security Bureau!"
The video received a positive response from the Chinese public, with almost no one believing that the emperor would send agents to assassinate a retired old man.
However, there are still discordant voices in the universe.
A poll link showed that 30% of people believed that Sklag II was responsible.
Shi Wei frowned at the number, but the Emperor didn't care: "It's fine. No matter what I do, there will always be a group of people who criticize me."
He had just finished dealing with some matters and was leaning on Shi Wei's shoulder, looking very tired.
Shi Wei suddenly felt a little sorry for him. The longer she spent with him, the more she realized that even emperors had a tiring life.
So she reached out and hugged him.
She quickly realized it was a mistake, because the man opened his eyes the next second, his gaze intense—
She reacted as if burned, quickly letting go, only to be pulled into a tight embrace.
Her body temperature was transmitted and spread through the thin clothes, and she felt that this man's body temperature was very high.
At such close range, she could smell the faint aroma of gin mixed with the scent of cedar on his body, making her a little dizzy.
"What are you smelling?" A deep voice came from above.
Shi Wei suddenly woke up and found herself holding onto the man's collar with one hand, her face buried in his collarbone.
Her face flushed instantly. While helping him straighten his clothes, Shi Wei stammered, "I...I...I just smelled it."
Oh, why did she suddenly start acting like a hooligan?
"I'm going to rest, Your Majesty, you should rest early too." Shi Wei tried to struggle out of his arms, but the man held her tightly, not letting her go.
"Why won't you answer my question?" Her waist was gripped, the burning heat through her clothes making her shiver. The scent of cedarwood grew stronger, along with the aroma of gin... Shi Wei's face was practically steaming; that was the scent of his pheromones.
"What were you smelling just now? Hmm?" King Sklag II's face drew closer and closer. Seeing that she was trying to pull away, the man pressed one hand against the back of her neck.
Shi Wei let out a soft sob.
His intention was to prevent her from backing away, but he accidentally touched her gland. He said, "Sorry."
But he didn't remove his hand; instead, he touched that patch of skin in an ambiguous way.
A tingling electric current spread from her glands, piercing through her limbs. Weakly supporting herself against Sklag II's chest, she cursed, "You scoundrel!"
Touching the back of an Omega's neck is even more inappropriate than touching their chest!
But she sniffed, buried her face in the man's chest, and couldn't help but take a few more sniffs.
The man's kiss landed on her face, which she brushed away with her hand. So the kiss moved to her fingers, the back of her hand...
Waaah, I know this is wrong, but this embrace is so warm and smells so good.
Shi Wei smelled it for a while, then suddenly sobered up. Her face was still red. She pushed him away forcefully, snorted, and ran away.
Skolag II, still slightly stunned, sniffed the lingering pheromones in the air, somewhat bewildered: how did he wake up so quickly?
Isn't she in heat?
After spending a few months with Shi Wei, His Majesty felt warmth and comfort. She was undoubtedly a smart and sensible girl, very easy to take care of, and had no other shortcomings except for her love of spending time in the library.
However, after several months, King Sklag II waited a long time and discovered that she had not taken any menstrual leave.
Not even once.
I spend most of my days off at the library, occasionally going out shopping or to play somewhere.
He waited patiently for months, and when he finally managed to smell a faint trace of her pheromones, he discovered that she didn't seem to feel anything.
Aside from being a little more obedient and willing to spend more time with him, she doesn't exhibit any of the typical Omega characteristics of being in heat.
Just now, she was clearly infatuated for a while, hugging herself and smelling herself, but after a while she came to her senses again.
After she was brought back from the Similan starship, the royal medical team gave her a full-body examination, and the report showed that she was in good health.
The emperor was a little confused: Was it because he lacked appeal?
This hypothesis was terrifying. His Majesty, with a somber face, continued to observe for a few more days and discovered that she had indeed only emitted pheromones for two days before quickly returning to normal.
This tiny amount of pheromone is almost negligible.
No wonder he often couldn't smell her pheromones.
So Shi Wei was taken for a medical examination.
Without understanding why, they did a lot of tests and had their whole body checked over and over again.
Finally, she looked at the gloomy-faced Sklag II and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, do I... have some incurable disease?"
With today's medical technology, is there any disease that can't be cured? Why does he look so pale?
Oh dear, she just turned sixty!
King Sklag II's expression softened slightly, and he reassured him, "There's nothing seriously wrong, it's just that his hormone levels are a little abnormal."
Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his personal computer to look at the report, and listened to the Emperor chatting with the doctor.
Actually, she had a pretty good idea of why His Majesty had summoned her to see a doctor; it wasn't like she hadn't had boyfriends before.
The test we just did clearly shows this.
For example, in this pheromone test, the doctor had her smell twenty samples, then assessed her heart rate, blood flow rate, body temperature, etc., and added her own score, taking the average.
“Sample number one is 1.4 points, sample number two is 3.2 points… why is sample number six -7 points? Is there a record error?” Sklag asked the doctor from not far away.
Shi Wei pursed her lips slightly and continued flipping through the pages.
The doctor whispered, "This test result is out of ten, but the young lady in sample number six insisted on a negative score, so the average is -7."
King Slag II looked at the report in the doctor's hand, which read:
Similan, number six, 42 years old, S-class Alpha... Instrument score 4.8, subjective score -10.
Okay, she smelled it.
The Emperor curled the corners of his mouth and quickly saw Number Twelve. It had no name, only a numerical code, which was his pheromone sample.
Number 12, 108 years old, S-level Alpha... Instrument score 5.2, subjective score 7.9.
Okay, she smelled it too.
So why not give it 8 points?
Is it because of shyness?
If the average score is greater than 6, then it can be considered as liking it, and this is already the highest score.
His gaze casually glanced behind him, landing on the next line of data, and froze.
Cyril, number 15, 43 years old, S-class Alpha... Instrument score 5.5, subjective score 6.2.
The twenty samples were all the Empire's best Alphas of the right age, the vast majority of whom were S-level, and Shi Wei gave very low scores to most of them.
It's important to know that pheromone testing is a crucial component of compatibility testing.
Generally, a pheromone test score of 6 or higher is required for marriage.
Shiwei's ratings are generally very low.
But Cyril's instrument readings were higher than his.
So the instrument's results showed that she preferred Cyril's pheromones?
Of these twenty samples, only the father and his two sons had an instrument reading greater than 4.5...
The rest of the people scored less than two points.
The doctor had obviously noticed the problem as well, and he said awkwardly, "Miss Shi may not be very sensitive to pheromones, but her glands and reproductive organs are all normal. We reviewed her previous treatment reports and found that she has a high resistance to mental energy, which may be the reason."
His Majesty's complexion was still not good. The doctor wiped his sweat and continued to try to smooth things over: "This kind of test can fluctuate with the test taker's mood and is not accurate. Perhaps the score will be different tomorrow... Moreover, it can be improved by cultivating a relationship. Your Majesty has a good foundation. With some cultivation, getting an eight is definitely not a problem!"
Good heavens, how is he going to make this story coherent?
After reviewing the report, Shi Wei roughly understood what was wrong with her. In professional terms, it was "low glandular secretion and insensitivity to Alph hormones," and in layman's terms, it was "sexual frigidity."
After she became an adult, her menstrual cycle became very short, sometimes only once every six months. Her parents took her to the hospital for a checkup, but she was physically and mentally healthy. She just wasn't very interested in Alphas.
So while her peers are affected by pheromones, she can study and work calmly.
Even when working or studying, they can concentrate more easily than others.
Shi Wei always felt that this was a good thing, not a bad thing.
However, her two ex-boyfriends didn't think so.
It seems that this person is starting to feel anxious now.

Author's note: Shi Wei: What are you so anxious about?
King Sklag II: I've been waiting for so long, smelling it every day.
Shi Wei: Go away, don't disturb me while I'm reading (gossip).
