Chapter 14
Inhibitor patch loose
Xu realized that Jiang Fengyi really had nothing to say to him, and left the office dejectedly.
He Shuyi, who had just returned from the restroom, happened to bump into her standing at the office door and quickly went up to pull Xu away from the battlefield.
"Weren't you recuperating at home? What are you doing here?"
Xu patted his leg: "It's all healed now."
Actually, the bruises still hurt a little, but Xu wanted to come back as soon as possible so that she could see Jiang Fengyi every day.
"You're all better, but you still look listless. Is there something still bothering you?"
Xu shook his head and remained silent.
She felt uncomfortable.
He Shuyi didn't think much of it, assuming she hadn't quite adjusted to work mode yet. However, her eyes kept glancing behind Xu Que, which piqued Xu Que's curiosity, and he turned around to look with her: "What are you looking at?"
“There was a big argument inside. I’ll see when President Jiang’s mood improves. There’s a document here that she needs to sign.”
Xu reached out his hand to her: "I'll take it in and get it signed for you."
"From this moment on, you are my benefactor!"
He Shuyi fawned over Xu Que by stuffing him with a lot of snacks before handing him the documents that needed to be signed and giving him special instructions.
"Let's not go in now and risk trouble. Let's wait until President Jiang calms down before we talk about it. Anyway, this document isn't urgent."
“It’s okay,” Xu Quezhen stood up, took the contract and walked inside. “I just came out from inside.”
He Shuyi exclaimed in disbelief, "W-what!"
She hadn't walked far when she turned back and picked out a piece of chocolate from a pile of snacks on the table.
He Shuyi quickly grabbed her: "You mean, you just... just came out of there?"
Xu found it amusing: "Why do you look like a terrifying monster hiding inside?"
He Shuyi tugged at Xu Que's sleeve, refusing to let go: "You...you're not afraid of President Jiang when he's angry? Everyone in the office is afraid..."
Xu corrected her, "She's just in a bad mood temporarily."
Seeing no fear on her face, He Shuyi couldn't help but blurt out her thoughts: "You wouldn't really be with President Jiang, would you? She's so indulgent towards you!"
Although Xu did not answer, his mood clearly improved.
He Shuyi watched as Xu walked in with the documents, looking as calm and collected as if he were returning to his own home.
Sure enough, the couple she shipped was real!
*
Jiang Fengyi didn't even look up when she heard footsteps.
He said coldly, "Get out!"
She doesn't have the extra energy to handle miscellaneous matters other than company affairs right now.
The footsteps continued to approach her.
I said,
Jiang Fengyi raised her head, and upon seeing the person who had arrived, the unfinished rebuke turned into a question.
"Why is it you?"
Xu, however, did not forget the important business he had come in for. He walked up to Jiang Fengyi and handed her the closed folder.
Now she had become an obedient subordinate again, speaking in a serious tone: "President Jiang, there is a document here that needs your signature."
Jiang Fengyi couldn't figure out what Xu was up to, and suspiciously accepted the item.
As soon as she opened the folder, the chocolate sandwiched in the very center caught her eye.
"Eat something sweet when you're in a bad mood."
Jiang Fengyi retorted stubbornly, "When have I ever been in a bad mood?"
"Okay, okay, I'm just in a bad mood."
Xu tore open the packaging for her.
"Then I humbly request that the beautiful and kind-hearted President Jiang accompany me to eat some sweets while I'm in a bad mood." Xu held a half-wrapped chocolate, her eyes filled with hope.
Is that okay?
Xu winked at her, and the next moment, the person opposite leaned in close.
Her smooth hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gently brushing against her skin, and soon, half of the chocolate in her hand was gone.
Jiang Fengyi sat up straight and slowly felt the black solid gradually melting in her mouth. The rich aroma of cocoa filled her mouth, and a hint of bitterness bloomed on the tip of her tongue.
"Thank you, it's very sweet."
Is it sweet?
Xu was completely bewildered and ate the remaining half of the chocolate without even realizing it.
Help, it's so painful.
She strongly suspected that Jiang Fengyi had a problem with her taste buds.
Xu, however, didn't rush to leave after taking the documents signed by Jiang Fengyi, and continued to linger in her office.
Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?
"Are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?"
"What do you want to eat after get off work? I'll make a reservation at a restaurant," Xu planned methodically. "Or you can eat at home with my cooking; I'll buy groceries on my way home from get off work."
"stop,"
"If you have nothing to do, go make me a cup of coffee."
"Okay!"
Jiang Fengyi finally managed to get rid of the incessantly chattering Xu Que, and her ears were finally able to have a moment of peace.
Unfortunately, just a few minutes later, Xu returned, this time with a cup of coffee that Jiang Fengyi had wanted.
"Should we drink it now or later?"
Jiang Fengyi stopped what she was doing and resignedly said, "Drink it now."
With Xu around, she couldn't concentrate on her work at all.
After finishing her coffee, she would send the person away, Jiang Fengyi secretly made up her mind.
In addition to the rich aroma of coffee, the office was suddenly filled with a very faint scent of plants bathed in sunlight.
This is......
Jiang Fengyi took a sniff without any suspicion.
This time, the scent entered her nose more clearly, and the aroma of sunflowers embracing the sun gradually enveloped her.
This is Xu Que's pheromone!
The moment she smelled the other person's pheromones, the pheromone-suppressing patch on the back of her neck loosened slightly, and Jiang Fengyi clearly felt her body temperature rising.
Oh no!
This susceptible period has truly arrived.
Omegas in their most vulnerable period have a much more sensitive sense of smell than usual, and now she's in the same room with Xu Que, an alpha, and they're so close together.
Jiang Fengyi pressed hard on the inhibitor patch on the back of her neck, which had loosened, and immediately bent down to try to open the drawer next to her legs.
The kind-hearted Xu stepped forward and squatted down beside her legs.
"Looking for what?"
"I'll help you."
"You...you go out first..."
As soon as Xu approached, the inhibitor patch on the back of Jiang Fengyi's neck wobbled precariously, her breathing quickened, and the small mole under her eyelid was forced to turn crimson.
"Your face is so red, are you sick?"
Unaware of what was going on, Xu reached out to touch Jiang Fengyi's forehead, but the other's high body temperature forced her to immediately withdraw her hand.
"It's so hot! I'll take you to the hospital."
Xu squatted down, stretched out his long arm, and easily picked up Jiang Fengyi, who was bending over to pull out a drawer.
"You're so gentle."
But now was not the time to check Jiang Fengyi's weight, and Xu was already anxiously heading outside.
The person in her arms gripped her collar tightly, panting, "No...no, not...behind..."
"What?"
Xu leaned down, bringing his ear close to hear Jiang Fengyi's soft murmur.
During the movement, the inhibitor patch stuck to the back of Jiang Fengyi's neck completely fell off.
In the blink of an eye,
The rich fragrance of the epiphyllum was released in Xu Que's arms and quickly spread throughout the room. Fortunately, the office door was tightly closed and the airtightness was strong enough that no scent escaped.
"So...it turns out it wasn't an illness, it was...it was a vulnerable period."
Xu, belatedly realizing what was happening, blushed and gently carried Jiang Fengyi into the office break room, then carefully placed her on the bed.
She placed a soft pillow behind Jiang Fengyi to make sure he was comfortable.
Although Xu had never had a girlfriend, she had learned how to take care of an omega during his sensitive period in her physiology class at school.
She did very well in her studies and got an A+.
The lesson explained that omegas in their most vulnerable period are both physically and psychologically sensitive and fragile, and alphas need to provide them with sufficient security and respect.
Xu carefully concealed his pheromones to avoid affecting Jiang Fengyi.
Jiang Fengyi on the bed looked extremely uncomfortable. Due to her elevated body temperature, she was covered in a lot of fine sweat, and much of her loose long hair was stuck to her neck.
Xu carefully tied her hair up strand by strand, and ripples spread where his fingertips touched.
"Suppress...inhibitor...patch...drawer...drawer..."
"The inhibitor is stuck in the drawer?"
Xu suddenly remembered the drawer that Jiang Fengyi had bent down but hadn't opened, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
"I'll get it for you, just a moment."
She left like a gust of wind, and returned just as quickly, carrying several unopened inhibitor patches.
"Should I help you or...?"
"I...I'll...do it myself."
Jiang Fengyi tried to get up by supporting herself on the bed, but she overestimated herself. Her whole body was weak and her arms were not as strong as before. She only managed to support herself for a second before collapsing.
The expected pain did not come. When she opened her eyes, she found herself not on the bed, but in Xu Que's arms.
After Jiang Fengyi finished saying she had come, Xu quietly stepped aside to watch over her. When she saw that Jiang Fengyi's arms were trembling from exhaustion, she instinctively put her arms around her.
The next moment
Exhausted, Jiang Fengyi cried out in surprise and fell towards her, but Xu, who was prepared, caught her steadily.
"I'll help you."
Xu sat on the edge of the bed, carefully tearing open the outer packaging of the inhibitor, and with his other hand, he tucked Jiang Fengyi's long hair behind her back to his chest.
The glands exposed to her eyes were pink, and the closer she got, the stronger the fragrance of the night-blooming cereus became.
She had no choice but to hold her breath, trying to avoid being affected by the other person's pheromones.
In just a short while, Xu Que's nose was already covered in sweat.
Her fingertips touched something, and the person leaning against her lap let out a soft groan, causing her hands to tremble even more.
Xu pursed her lips tightly and carefully and gently applied the inhibitor patch to the area.
The source of the floral fragrance in the air was finally blocked, and after Xu turned on the fresh air purifier to filter the indoor air, the last trace of pheromones in the room quickly dissipated.
Only the faint blush on Jiang Fengyi's face proved that what had just happened was not Xu Que's fantasy.
Xu blushed as well. Although the suppressant patch completely covered the floral scent on Jiang Fengyi's body, she was still forced to absorb a lot of the other party's pheromones.
She subtly lowered her head and sniffed a few times.
A faint fragrance of epiphyllum lingered around her collar, sleeves, and hair, and she smiled almost imperceptibly.
On the bed,
Jiang Fengyi, having regained her senses, lay on her side with her back to Xu Que. The tip of her ear, pressed against the pillow, was so red it seemed to be dripping blood. Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she couldn't figure out how to face the person behind her.
"You go out first!"
