Chapter 19
Ji Mingfei's mind was in a daze. Before she could react, Chu Yue had already turned and walked towards her home.
"Come and eat first," Chu Yue said before entering the room.
Ji Mingfei noticed the bag in her hand and quickly followed. Chu Yue took out two insulated containers from the bag, one containing pork ribs and the other containing fish maw chicken.
Standing at the kitchen door, unable to offer any help, Ji Mingfei suddenly felt hungry when she smelled the rich aroma of meat.
Chu Yue tested the temperature of the pork rib soup; it wasn't cold, but it wasn't too hot either. She poured it back into the pot and turned on the stove. Since everything was already cooked, it only needed to boil for about ten minutes until the soup came to a boil before it was ready to eat.
Ji Mingfei's large appetite exposed her lie about having eaten, but Chu Yue didn't intend to ask any further questions. If Ji Mingfei could take care of herself, she wouldn't have needed to drive ten hours to get here.
After Ji Mingfei put down her chopsticks, Chu Yue asked her, "Are you full?"
Ji Mingfei looked at the bowl full of bones and nodded shyly, "Mm."
Chu Yue tidied up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and said to Ji Mingfei, who wanted to help, "Rest now that you've eaten."
Ji Mingfei had only rolled up her sleeves halfway when she saw Chu Yue's attentive back as she took care of everything. In her mind, the phrase "Rest after you've eaten" automatically translated into "You can eat after I've fed you."
That's true, she only came back because she was in her vulnerable period, not as a "delivery guy" bringing warmth. Since the initial decision was for both parties to get what they needed, they should uphold the spirit of the contract!
When Chu Yue came out of the kitchen, Ji Mingfei had already returned. Seeing that she was safe and sound and had eaten, the impulsive impulse of love immediately dissipated. The fatigue from the long drive instantly overwhelmed her; her back ached, she felt dizzy, and she insisted on taking a hot shower before going to bed.
Just two minutes after lying down, Chu Yue, who was about to go to sleep, vaguely heard the door open. She forced herself to open her eyes and reached for the bedside lamp.
As soon as the light came on, Ji Mingfei stood timidly at the foot of the bed. "I just finished showering... Were you waiting long?"
Chu Yue, who was almost exhausted, was speechless.
ha? !
Ji Mingfei took off her coat, revealing a sexy black slip dress underneath. A faint pheromone scent wafted through the room, stimulating Chu Yue's desire as she battled her sleepiness.
Seeing that Chu Yue remained silent, Ji Mingfei assumed that she was annoyed that he was late, so he took the initiative to climb into bed and lie down next to Chu Yue.
Sensing someone approaching, Chu Yue groggily touched Ji Mingfei's arm and instinctively pulled him into her arms. Holding the fragrant, soft omega, Chu Yue didn't wake up; instead, she slept even more soundly.
Ji Mingfei stared at the ceiling, too afraid to move. So this is the alpha's vulnerable period? It doesn't seem like much!
…
The next morning, Chu Yue was woken up on time by her biological clock, which had been running for many years. Just as she was about to move her arm, she suddenly noticed that Ji Mingfei, who was sleeping in her arms, was snuggling against her like a kitten.
"..."
After racking her brains to recall, Chu Yue finally pieced together the gist of the matter from a blurry collection of memories.
She let out a long sigh and chuckled softly. She never imagined that at her age, she would act so impulsively, driving all the way from Tengen to Takito. It was truly unlike her!
The woman in his arms stirred, and Chu Yue quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. Ji Mingfei, who had just woken up, carefully moved his arm away, and the softness in front of him was quietly slipping away. Chu Yue suddenly couldn't bear to let her go like that, so he wrapped his arms around Ji Mingfei's waist from behind and pulled her back.
Ji Mingfei leaned back and fell onto Chu Yue, her glands landing squarely on Chu Yue's lips.
Chu Yue licked it as if possessed.
Ji Mingfei's pupils dilated slightly in fright, "..."
Her voice was hoarse from just waking up, and Chu Yue chuckled as she whispered in her ear, "So sweet."
Ji Mingfei's entire body was on edge. "President Chu..."
"Call me by my name."
"..."
Ji Mingfei did not listen to her and did not do as she was told. Chu Yue bit her neck again, gently grinding the delicate gland with the tip of her teeth as punishment.
"Ugh... Chu Yue..."
Ji Mingfei begged for mercy with a sob in his voice.
Chu Yue was satisfied with her reaction and temporarily spared her sensitive glands, kissing her from behind her ear down to her neck and shoulders, comforting her while giving her a chance to catch her breath.
"Shall we continue what we didn't have time to do last night?" the energetic Chu Yue suggested affectionately in Ji Mingfei's ear.
Ji Mingfei looked out the bright window. Doing that kind of thing in broad daylight was too embarrassing. She wanted to refuse, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year... and it's already daylight outside..."
Chu Yue quickly understood what she meant, but deliberately teased her, asking, "Are you shy?"
Seeing Ji Mingfei blush, Chu Yue got out of bed barefoot, walked to the window, and drew the blackout curtains, plunging the room into darkness. Only a sliver of light shone in from the living room, and Chu Yue closed the door, leaving the bedroom as dark as night.
The moment she was enveloped in darkness, Ji Mingfei's heart suddenly raced. She gripped the blanket tightly, anxiously waiting for Chu Yue to appear from who-knows-where.
Many possibilities flashed through her mind, but she never expected that her ankle would be the first thing grabbed. She tried to pull back, but couldn't escape the hold; the other person's hand quickly moved across the danger zone and stopped near her waist.
Alpha pheromones overflowed uncontrollably, instantly breaching the already fragile defenses of omegas.
Chu Yue pressed down on top of Ji Mingfei, carefully conforming to her body to ensure that she would not put any strain on her abdomen.
Just as the victory horn of the AO combination was about to sound, a clear and powerful strike kicked both of them out of the center of the hormonal battlefield.
"What was that just now..." Chu Yue asked Ji Mingfei incredulously as she left her body.
Ji Mingfei pondered for a moment, "...It seems so."
Upon hearing this answer, Chu Yue practically jumped away from Ji Mingfei. As if she had suddenly realized something incredible, she asked in astonishment, "Is she... always like this?"
"This is the first time I've felt this either." Ji Mingfei felt that Chu Yue's reaction was much stronger than fetal movement.
Chu Yue hurriedly picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on. She sat on the edge of the bed with her back to Ji Mingfei, adjusting her breathing. She also managed to control the alph hormones and prevent them from leaking out.
Ji Mingfei hadn't expected such a strong reaction. Propping herself up, she asked softly, "Did I scare you?"
Chu Yue remained silent for a long time. "The book says that prenatal education is very important! I didn't expect her to grow up so quickly. Doing this kind of thing in front of the child... is not good."
"..."
Ji Mingfei hadn't expected the serious and rigid Chu Yue to have such an interesting side. She patted her stomach, suppressing a laugh, and asked, "Shall we continue? She's not moving now."
"No, I'm going to take a shower." Chu Yue mistook the baby's movements for the baby's unwillingness to continue, and left without looking back.
After dinner, the two of them, with nothing to do, sat on the living room sofa watching a rerun of the Spring Festival Gala. The cheerful singing and dancing on TV and the thunderous applause for the crosstalk and skits couldn't dispel the awkwardness of being in the same space with each other.
Chu Yue scrolled through her phone seeking help, but after thinking for a while, she realized there was no one she could ask. She then tried sending a message to Deng Jie.
What do omegas like to do on their days off?
"Boss, you didn't really go to the company, did you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and answer the question."
"During the Lunar New Year, people are definitely going shopping, watching movies, and eating. It's so lively outside these days. Aren't you too busy to go out and see anything? You need to be moderate!"
"roll"
Chu Yue put down her phone and awkwardly invited Ji Mingfei, "Would you like to see a movie?"
Ji Mingfei didn't want to stay in one position on the sofa any longer; her back was so sore.
"...I'm fine with anything."
"Let's go to the movie theater then."
"good…"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were packed with people. Chu Yue struggled to drive through the commercial street. After finally getting through the congested area, she searched for a parking space several times before finally having to park in a parking lot far from the pedestrian street.
"There are so many people."
"yes!"
The conversation ended. Chu Yue and Ji Mingfei seemed like strangers meeting online for the first time, walking separately with a person's distance between them, and occasionally they would suddenly "go their separate ways" because they hadn't coordinated their routes.
The last time Chu Yue went to the cinema was when she was in college. Her roommate said there was a super cool new sci-fi movie and insisted on taking the whole dorm to see it. But Chu Yue fell asleep within ten minutes of entering the theater. Since then, she hasn't been to the cinema.
The movie theater ticket counter was packed with young couples, making Chu Yue and Ji Mingfei stand out conspicuously behind them. They were like middle-aged sales associates who had mustered the courage to enter KFC but didn't know how to order, their eyes filled with curiosity and thirst for knowledge as they stared at the movie screen.
"Which one do you want to see?" Chu Yue asked, looking down.
Ji Mingfei didn't see any movies that interested him, so he didn't want to recommend any bad ones to Chu Yue. He said, "Anything is fine with me."
Chu Yue then remembered being kicked that morning, and for some reason, she suddenly asked, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"
Last time Chu Yue showed her "Boonie Bears," Ji Mingfei thought it was because she was pregnant. She didn't expect that Chu Yue liked watching it herself. It turns out that she is still an alpha with a childlike heart.
“Yes, that’s fine.” Ji Mingfei nodded.
Chu Yue walked to the ticket window and said to the ticket seller, "Two tickets for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."
In an instant, everyone else turned to look.
Unaware of the situation, Chu Yue happily told Ji Mingfei after receiving the movie ticket, "The ticket seller said that the ticket stub can be exchanged for a Pleasant Goat sticker."
Ji Mingfei immediately lowered his head even further.
The screening room for the animated film was furnished with family-friendly sofa chairs. The two people who saw these chairs for the first time were stunned at the same time. Wasn't this just like watching TV in their living room at home?
The sofa chair is designed like a crown, with red and blue sections on the left and right for parents, and a yellow chair with a jewel-shaped backrest in the middle for children.
They barely managed to sit down before realizing that the children's area clearly separated them.
The lights suddenly went out, and the pitch-black screening room was illuminated only by the screen.
Just as Ji Mingfei was about to relax, her arm brushed against Chu Yue's shoulder. Turning around, she saw that the woman who had been keeping a safe distance from her had somehow moved closer.
