Article 163 Bo Yan X He Li (08)
He Li felt like he couldn't breathe, and his face turned bright red.
In the midst of the confusion, he still managed a slurred explanation: "No, I didn't run away, I went out to buy inhibitors... I'll be right back..."
"Is that so?" Cheng Boya asked in a cold tone.
He had indeed just been on his way back from the research institute when he received a password error notification on his phone. It had happened several times in a row; no one but He Li from his family would use that password.
Therefore, He Li wanted to leave.
Cheng Boyan stared at the persistent "incorrect password" pop-up and silently walked to his front door. Through the door, he could still faintly hear He Li muttering.
He reached out and opened the door, only to see the other person's delighted face. That idiot thought he was just lucky and had accidentally opened the door.
“You just want to leave.” Cheng Boyan bit him lightly, accusingly, “It’s only been less than a day, and you’re already backing out.”
He Li vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the other person's emotions.
Even among friends, this possessiveness is really going too far.
But... I'm an Alpha, and Cheng Boyan doesn't like Alphas, so it can't be that he's fallen for me.
It's best not to do that.
Cheng Boyan is the most compatible and like-minded friend he has met since Lin Yao. He cherishes this relationship and doesn't want to ruin it.
"Could you... let go of me first?" He Li calmed his breathing slightly and tried to reassure the other person, "I won't leave, really."
Cheng Boyan didn't move, just held him like that, his lips pressed against the back of his neck, his breath heavy.
"Cheng Boyan." This time, He Li didn't call him brother, but called his name softly. "You... can't you feel that I have a fever? I'm not lying to you, my fertile period is coming soon, and I have to take suppressants. Otherwise, if we two Alphas are in the same room, our pheromones will clash and we will both feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Boyan hummed in agreement, unmoved, and even a little pleased: "It's the sensitive period, which is good."
He Li: ? ? ?
"What's so good about it? This guy is so angry he's started talking nonsense."
He tried to persuade her again, speaking softly, "How about this, I won't leave, you go out and buy it for me, okay?"
"No." Cheng Boyan picked him up and placed him on the sofa, looking down at his rosy lips, and said softly, "When your sensitive period really comes, I will help you."
He Li was speechless, not daring to think about how he could help.
He bit his lip, sitting there stiffly, his mind a complete mess: "We... aren't a couple, so we can't do everything together."
The lines between them have become too blurred, which is inappropriate and should not continue.
Cheng Boyan turned around, made sure the door was locked again before turning back to look at him: "Then let's try it."
He Li moved her lips, watching him clear away the cold food from the table and go back into the kitchen.
He raised his hand to scratch his messy hair, collapsed onto the sofa, buried himself in the cushions, and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over, it's over, what do we do? They're really going to fight."
While Cheng Boyan was cooking, He Li quietly took back her phone, opened it, and started searching.
Q: During an Alpha's fertile period, if the pheromones cannot be controlled without inhibitors, what will happen if another Alpha is present?
The answers varied, but they all basically meant the same thing.
[A brutal beating, I experienced it firsthand, and I recommend isolating.]
[How could anyone be so stupid as to stay with their own kind during their most vulnerable period? Isn't that just asking for trouble?]
This is blatant provocation. Even the weakest Alpha would have terrifyingly strong pheromone attacks at that point.
Let me put it this way: last time, my brother and I ended up in the hospital and needed three stitches.
........
He Li became more and more worried. In the past few years of living together, there were of course sensitive periods for each other, but with the inhibitors, there were no major problems.
But things are different now; it seems Cheng Boyan has no intention of letting him use it at all.
In fact, He Li herself was not quite sure what would happen to her if she didn't take the inhibitor, since it had never happened before.
A message from Lin Yao popped up on my phone.
【01】: Why did you say you were on vacation when I went to see you today? Why didn't you say that yesterday?
[Little Sweet Pear]: Yes, transfer and susceptible period.
【01】: So you went home?
[Little Sweet Pear]: No, I'm at Cheng Boyan's house.
【01】：?
【01】: What are you thinking?
He Lixin said, "See? Even someone like Lin Yao, who falls asleep during physiology class, knows that staying together at a time like this is practically deadly."
But you can't say that Cheng Boyan won't let him leave, otherwise he'll lose face in front of his friends.
[Little Sweet Pear]: It's okay, hahaha, with the inhibitors, what could possibly happen?
He Li almost cried as he typed this, "Waaah, can someone send me an inhibitor?"
【01】: I think you should still be a little more careful, after all
【01】: Never mind, I believe Bo Yan knows what he's doing.
He Li wailed inwardly, "No, he has no sense of propriety. He was just acting. He looks kind and harmless, but he's actually full of bad intentions."
Alright, now even his brother Yao can't save himself.
He tossed his phone aside, stared at the ceiling, and felt utterly hopeless.
"Come and eat." Cheng Boyan rearranged the newly made dishes on the table, watching his little trick of hiding his phone, wondering if he had been too harsh. "Play if you want."
He Li slowly moved over, sat opposite him, ate his rice, and tried to win back the other's conscience.
"I just looked it up, and in this situation... you really can't get better without suppressants... you'll...."
Cheng Boyan served him soup and placed it in front of him, saying calmly, "It's alright. I studied pharmacy research, so I know my limits."
It's all about moderation.
He Li was about to explode. Everyone was bullying the idiot, and the idiot had a say too.
"You...you have no experience with this, how do you know?" He Li stuffed rice into his mouth angrily, it smelled so good.
“I have no experience, but I’m an Alpha, and I know how Alphas feel during their vulnerable period.” Cheng Boyan said calmly, putting some food into his bowl. “Eat more, or you’ll faint.”
He Li couldn't argue with him, so he could only lower his head and eat heartily. This guy was also a good cook, and he finished three bowls of soup in one go. However, after drinking the hot soup, he felt a bit hot and uncomfortable, whether it was because the soup was too hot or something else.
He cleared his throat, stood up, and said, "I'm full. I'm going to take a bath."
Cheng Boyan got up, walked over to him, raised his hand to his forehead, and roughly measured his temperature: "Don't take a bath when you have a fever, go stay on the sofa."
“No.” He Li contradicted him, wrinkling her nose as she said, “Can’t you smell it? My pheromones are overflowing.”
Of course, it cannot be ignored.
Cheng Boyan wasn't feeling much better either, but if two Alphas were together, they would have to get used to it; they couldn't rely on the drug forever.
He frowned slightly, then relaxed his brow, and said in a light tone, "It's alright, I can bear it."
"You're a real pervert."
He Li was in good physical condition, and he knew very well that without the inhibitor, Cheng Boyan would be in more pain.
The other person's forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, and they looked a little irritable. They raised their hand and unbuttoned their shirt.
“Go sit on the sofa,” he repeated.
He Li dawdled over, hugged a cushion, sat in the corner watching him, and whispered, "You won't let me use suppressants, so I'm not going to shower. I'm just going to the bathroom for a little while..."
Even though he's usually very outspoken, he couldn't offer a more straightforward explanation.
Cheng Boyan glanced at him sideways, a hint of amusement creeping into his usually indifferent expression: "No."
He Li's cheeks flushed red as he muttered insults, "You're just retaliating, aren't you? This isn't allowed, that isn't allowed, what exactly do you want from me? We're both adults, I don't have an Omega, so I can't..."
"No." Cheng Boyan walked over to him, casually picked up the tie hanging on the sofa, put his hands together, and tied them together. This time, it was a slipknot that was so easy to break free from.
He Li wasn't as strong as him, and with his hands tied, he could only win verbally: "You're just bullying me, you're so annoying, you'll be responsible if I suffer from holding it in."
“I’ll take responsibility,” Cheng Boyan said softly, looking down at him. “Just ask, and I’ll help you.”
He Li's face turned red, and he kicked him. The other man didn't dodge and kicked him straight in the shin: "You're really annoying, I don't want to."
Cheng Boyan reached out and removed his pillow, taking away the last piece of clothing covering his face: "Then stay here and don't go anywhere."
He Li glanced at him for a moment, then simply lay down on her side on the sofa and buried her face in the pillow.
No, no, no, I can't let him help. If I really do that, they definitely won't be able to get back to their previous balance. That's too strange. This is the bottom line, the bottom line that absolutely cannot be crossed.
"No, don't even think about it. I, He Li, am of unyielding integrity and will never yield."
Despite being extremely compliant with himself in normal times, he was unusually persistent in this matter.
So it turns out she wasn't really that stupid; she could tell what lovers could do together, Cheng Boyan thought. That's why, even so, He Li refused to take things any further with him.
"I'm going to wash the dishes, I'll be right back."
After tidying up the kitchen, Cheng Boyan stood silently by the sink, cold water dripping onto his hands. He listened to the rustling sounds outside and wondered if he had been too cruel to He Li.
But he had tried gentle companionship and patient guidance, and he really didn't know what else to do.
Lin Yao sent me a message on my phone.
【01】: He Li said he's in a vulnerable period, so please take extra care of him.
【01】: Thank you for your hard work
Cheng Boyan stared at it for almost a minute, still unsure how to respond. Did he mean that if he was taking care of He Li, he would tie him to the sofa and wait for him to be blinded by lust and become dependent on him?
He closed his eyes briefly and replied with a simple "okay".
Then he texted the doctor at He Mu to have a box of inhibitors sent over urgently before turning around and going out, intending to let go of He Li.
Even before he got close, the fragrance of pear blossoms had already filled the entire living room. He suppressed his discomfort and walked to the sofa, only to find He Li buried in the gap, his back trembling slightly.
Cheng Boyan reached out and turned him over, only to see a pair of red, swollen eyes with tears still clinging to the corners, his lips tightly clenched, looking at him pitifully.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions: struggle, helplessness, and compromise.
"You..." Cheng Boyan reached out and gently rubbed the corner of his eye, ultimately unable to bring himself to hurt him, and said softly, "Why are you crying like this after such a short while?"
He Li took the bound hands, wrapped them around his neck, brought him close, and kissed him tremblingly.
"Brother Boyan...please help me...please..."
