Chapter 21 Chapter 21
Shi Yi barely slept for half the night.
But he was so exhausted that it was already past eight o'clock when he got up. He sent a message to the store manager asking for leave.
After washing up, he looked in the mirror again.
Then I was startled by the gland in the mirror.
He had applied ice all night, but the gland became red and swollen, with a small opening like a flower.
This thing is too delicate. It will either cause allergies or inflammation.
Shi Yi could only go to Xu Zhuru's room to see if there was any ointment to treat the inflammation.
He didn't expect Xu Zhuru was still at home.
He walked in while covering his gland and bumped into Xu Zhuru head-on, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Mom, don't you have to go to work today?" Shi Yi quickly put his hand down.
"Today is Saturday," Xu Zhuru looked at his face, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine." Shi Yi wiped his face and smiled at Xu Zhuru, "Mom, I won't go out today. I'll stay at home with you."
Xu Zhuru waved to him: "Come, let mom take a look at you."
Shi Yi had no choice but to walk towards her.
Xu Zhuru grabbed his arm, pulled him in front of her, and looked up at him carefully.
"Did you not sleep well? You have dark circles under your eyes."
"A little bit, I slept too late last night," Shi Yi scratched his head, "I will pay more attention next time."
Xu Zhuru patted the back of his hand and said, "You finally have a whole summer vacation to relax. Don't feel burdened. But you must be restrained when playing and take care of your health."
Shi Yi said yes repeatedly.
Xu Zhuru turned around to cook breakfast, and he quickly slipped into Xu Zhuru's room and found a tube of anti-inflammatory ointment.
Shi Yi smeared the ointment randomly in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
When I first applied it, the glands felt hot and then quickly cooled down.
Shi Yi thought that it should have some effect.
Sitting at the dining table, Shi Yi gave Xu Zhuru a sweet smile and said, "It's been a long time since I had noodles cooked by my mother."
"Put the chili in a small bowl. Add some if you want to eat it," said Xu Zhuru.
Shi Yi hummed, looked at the chili peppers in the bowl, and thought about his still inflamed glands.
It’s better not to eat it, you need to take care of it.
"Let me try the non-spicy one first." Shi Yi lowered his head and took a big sip of noodles.
"Was Xiaoyi also with Wu You yesterday?" Xu Zhuru suddenly asked while eating noodles.
"Yes..." Shi Yi answered hesitantly, "There are other classmates with us."
"Are they all betas and omegas? Are there any alpha students?" Xu Zhuru asked again.
Shi Yi looked at Xu Zhuru, thinking about the reason why she asked this question.
After becoming an omega, can't I have alpha friends?
Shi Yi answered tentatively: "There are a few, all of whom will be my classmates at Xia University in the future."
"Oh, I see." Xu Zhuru stirred the noodles, and it seemed that her mind was not on this bowl of noodles at all.
Shi Yi said firmly, "Mom, I'm an adult now and I know how to distinguish my friends."
"My friends are all very good people." Although his tone was firm, he still felt a little guilty.
In any case, Gong Yulo has nothing to do with the word "good person".
When Xu Zhuru heard Shi Yi say that he was an adult, she sighed for some reason.
After finishing the noodles, Shi Yi took the bowl to the kitchen.
He lowered his head and carefully washed all the pots, pans, and dishes.
Xu Zhuru came in with her cell phone and called him. Shi Yi turned around to look at her, but saw that Xu Zhuru had her eyes wide open and her expression was very shocked.
"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with the back of your neck?" Xu Zhuru's voice was still trembling.
"The back of the neck?" Shi Yi's hands were covered in foam, so he could only glance back. He pretended to be relaxed, "Oh, it seems to be a little inflamed there."
"Is it just an inflammation?" Xu Zhuru said with a serious expression, "Xiaoyi, put down the bowl and come over here to let mom take a look."
Shi Yi wiped his hands obediently and walked in front of Xu Zhuru.
He was nearly twenty centimeters taller than Xu Zhuru, so he moved a chair, sat down, and turned his back to Xu Zhuru.
Betas do not grow glands from birth to adulthood, so it is normal for them to be curious about them.
Shi Yi just wanted Xu Zhuru to stop worrying.
Xu Zhuru reached out and touched the back of his neck, but she didn't dare touch his glands, as her fingers were still shaking.
"Xiaoyi, do you feel hot and uncomfortable?" Xu Zhuru asked behind him.
Shi Yi wondered how Xu Zhuru knew that.
He answered truthfully, "I felt very hot last night. I used an ice pack on it for a long time, and it's a little inflamed today."
"It's not an inflammation..." Xu Zhuru helped him put his clothes in order. "I'll call your uncle and ask him to come over when he's free."
Shi Yi quickly stood up: "Why do you need my uncle to come over? I'm fine. I should be fine in two days."
Xu Zhuru looked at him worriedly: "Mom doesn't know much about this either, so it would be better to ask your uncle to come."
Shi Yi: “…”
Why does he feel that the matter seems serious?
-
Shi Zhuojun replied to Xu Zhuru that he would be free to come over only after he finished teaching his students in the afternoon.
Shi Yi was escorted by Xu Zhuru to Shi Zhuojun's home.
Xu Zhuru drove the car herself and asked Shi Yi to wear a hat. Xu Zhuru was cautious from the moment she got out of the car to the moment she entered the elevator. She only seemed to relax a little when they were the only two in the elevator.
Shi Yi was under strict surveillance and felt as if he had become a patient with an infectious disease.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, the three beta students were practicing watercolors. When they looked up at me, their eyes were clear and confused.
Xu Zhuru pulled Shi Yi into the inner room.
Shi Zhuojun wiped his hands and walked in. He took a breath and then closed the door.
Shi Yi: More like a carrier of infectious diseases.
Shi Yi heard his uncle and Xu Zhuru whispering, vaguely hearing words like "pheromone outbreak", "dangerous period", and "no contact with people".
He thought to himself, it is indeed an infectious disease.
In order to make him feel as relaxed as possible, Xu Zhuru left the room after explaining everything to Shi Zhuojun.
Shi Zhuojun locked the door and turned to face him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Shi Yi said frankly: "Uncle, just tell me, I'm ready."
Shi Zhuojun hesitated for a moment, picked up his phone, pressed twice, and said to him, "Xiaoyi, I don't know what to tell you right now. Here are two articles. Take a look first."
Shi Yi looked down at his phone and saw that Shi Zhuojun had just shared two articles from the official account with him.
One article is "How should omegas face their first fever period?"
One article is "Fever period is not scary, but you must take safety measures."
Shi Yi: “?”
What are all these?
He opened the first article and read just two lines. His eyes couldn't help but glance down at a few accompanying pictures, and then he immediately closed the article interface.
What the hell are these?
The first sentence is that the fever period, also known as the estrus period, is a physiological reaction unique to adult omegas.
Which issue?
What is the estrus period?
Can such words be applied to humans?
And those pictures are too disgusting to look at.
Those strong ones who were obviously alphas were pressing on some thin omegas, and those omegas actually looked like they were enjoying it.
It's simply unbearable to watch.
He seemed to have caught a glimpse of a sentence in the article: "Find the alpha destined for your life, and the fever period will also become your happy time."
Oh my god.
Is this some kind of pornographic story?
Although he is an adult, he doesn't understand any of this.
He's just a pure omega.
Shi Yi threw his phone on the table, sat there with a red face, not knowing where to put his fingers.
Shi Zhuojun sighed: "You may not be able to accept it, but if you want to get through the fever period smoothly, this method may be the most long-term and effective."
What method?
You don't really want to devote yourself to an alpha, do you?
What kind of rule is this?
"Just find the alpha that suits you best and ask him to make a temporary mark for you." Shi Zhuojun finished his science lecture.
"What does the most suitable alpha mean?" Shi Yi was really curious.
"His pheromones are harmless to you and can attract you. Your compatibility score could be over 80%," Shi Zhuojun said. "But the chances of finding this alpha are very small. Generally, a 60% match is considered quite good."
Shi Yi could only think of one person who would not hurt him and could attract him...
He was a little dazed for a moment, then asked, "How do you make a temporary mark?"
"Let the alpha bite your gland and inject his pheromones into it, and that will complete the marking." Shi Zhuojun's expression was a little complicated. "I remember you used the barrier patch Gong Yuluo gave you before. It's just like that, but it hurts a little more."
Shi Yi: “…………”
How could he forget that when he used the blocking sticker, Shi Zhuojun mentioned the term "temporary mark".
I wonder if Gong Yulo had thought about marking or something like that since then.
Shi Yi's face was completely red from his ears to his neck.
"If... if Xiaoyi, you can't find the most compatible person, and you don't want to let alpha mark you, you can only use inhibitors to hide temporarily. At the same time, you must isolate yourself from the outside world during the fever period." Shi Zhuojun said again.
Shi Yi opened his eyes wide: "Why?"
Why should Omegas have to suffer so much during their fever period, avoid people, and not even be allowed to live a normal life?
"Uncle, how are you getting through the fever period now?" Shi Yi bit his lower lip and asked Shi Zhuojun.
"After having my baby, I haven't had a fever since then." Shi Zhuojun looked a little helpless.
Shi Yi nodded.
In other words, if you want to solve the problem once and for all, you can only choose to find an alpha to mark yourself, or find an alpha to have children with.
Coincidentally, these two methods——
He doesn't want to!
-
After leaving Shi Zhuojun's house, Shi Yi was still carefully escorted by Xu Zhuru.
On the way, Xu Zhuru got off the car and went to the pharmacy to buy a few boxes of inhibitors. Shi Yi knew at a glance that his uncle must have explained everything to Xu Zhuru, and Xu Zhuru chose a safer way.
After returning home, I will probably start home isolation.
Shi Yi leaned against the passenger seat, feeling quite hopeless.
Xu Zhuru turned the car into the parking space next to the courtyard, and Shi Yi looked out.
This may be his only chance to breathe fresh air outside in recent days.
He took a look, then turned around and looked carefully at the house behind.
Was he dazzled? He saw a figure that looked a bit like Gong Yulo.
Xu Zhuru turned her head to look at him: "What's wrong, Xiaoyi? What did you see?"
Shi Yi quickly turned around and said, "No, I just thought the neighbor's dog ran out."
After returning home, Xu Zhuru took the inhibitor to his room.
"Xiaoyi, do you know how to use it? If you want, you can ask your mother to help you." Xu Zhuru said.
In addition to the boxes of inhibitors, there was also a syringe that Shi Yi had never touched before.
"No need, Mom, my uncle has already taught me." Shi Yi said.
He felt that if Xu Zhuru gave him an inhibitor, she would cry.
Xu Zhuru's eyes were red. She asked him to have a good rest in the room and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
She didn't necessarily want Shi Yi to use the inhibitor right away.
Before she left, she simply said, "Except for inhibitors, do not use any other medications. Even if you do use inhibitors, read the instructions carefully."
"It usually only takes a week. Fortunately, it's summer vacation now. Xiaoyi can read books and play games at home, so the time will pass quickly." Xu Zhuru comforted him.
Shi Yi nodded and said, "I know."
After Xu Zhuru left, he walked to the window and looked outside, feeling a little melancholy.
It's only evening now, and the day is already so long. Can a week really pass so easily?
If he were in school now, would his mother let him withdraw from school and isolate at home?
Shi Yi shook his head, feeling that this fever period had affected his hormones, causing his mood to become abnormal.
After dinner, he took a shower and forced himself to sleep.
He wanted to try not to use suppressants first.
He had made it through last night without any problems, and should be able to do it today as well.
It's just a fever, it's not like his refrigerator is broken.
Shi Yi put a layer of film on the mat, took a few ice packs and lay down on it.
The air conditioner was turned to the lowest setting, and it was even a bit cold without a blanket.
He lay like that for a while.
In less than half an hour, he was awakened by the heat again.
It wasn't the heat from his body, but a restless heat that seemed to be exploding from his chest.
At the same time his glands were rapidly heating up.
He smelled a sweet scent like honey in the air.
But there were no sweets in his room.
The smell made it difficult for him to breathe. He felt that his body was becoming more out of control and his mood was becoming increasingly depressed.
I even started to wonder why it was so uncomfortable to be an omega and I didn't want to be an omega anymore.
Xu Zhuru lived next door, and he gritted his teeth, unwilling to make any uncomfortable sound.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the window of his room.
He thought it was the sound of rain hitting the window.
It seemed to be raining, so the hot flashes in his body eased a little and the sticky smell in the air seemed to fade.
Shi Yi opened his eyes and saw a tall figure standing outside the window.
He only needed one glance to recognize who the other person was.
The next second, he immediately opened the door and rushed out.
Shi Yi didn't have time to think about why Gong Yulo was here.
How long has he been here?
How did you get in?
Does Gong Yulo know that I am feeling very uncomfortable now?
Shi Yi stood outside the door and looked up into Gong Yulo's eyes.
He thought, he knew.
