Chapter 22
The southern region did not welcome the warm breeze of early spring, but instead had to wait for the bone-chilling cold wind of late winter.
Then came a flurry of small snowflakes, landing on the dew-soaked eaves before quickly disappearing. In the headquarters hospital building, Yun Zhi sat in the VIP ward, waiting from day to dusk, and then spent several more days and nights in the ward, but no happy news came from the isolation room.
"Why hasn't Shi Yu come out yet? Do you still treat him as a human being?"
Qin Yue knocked his crutch on the ground, trying to wake up the doctors who were standing there. He had just come out of the isolation building and was helpless.
Yun Zhi said coldly, "I spend so much money on the hospital every year, but they still don't give me a reasonable treatment plan."
He was referring to Yun Lin'ai's illness, but according to current medical methods, Yun Lin'ai only has that one treatment method. Even in the future, Shi Yu's fever period will be affected and must be comforted by Yun Lin'ai.
However, the isolated isolation room will not know anything about the outside world.
Although the lights were on in the room, someone had deliberately created an atmosphere. Clothes were scattered on the floor, and even the red rope around Shi Yu's neck had been ripped off and hung on the carved pillar at the head of the bed.
Now that piece of red rope was picked up again, the bright red color was particularly dazzling against the thin white skin.
Yun Lin'ai put the ring on her neck again, and rubbed the middle of the rope with his fingers for a few times, thinking that the golden bean had turned into a floating night light in the shape of a heart.
His heart softened, but he couldn't help but kiss the corner of the sleeping Omega's mouth.
But the Omega didn't seem to be sleeping well, waking up at the slightest sound. His weak hand rose and naturally grasped Yun Lin'ai's arm. Before he could fully wake up, Yun Lin'ai heard him ask, "Do you want more?"
Yun Lin'ai leaned over and kissed her closed eyes. When she spoke, her voice became hoarse: "Seven days."
A single number seemed to be able to alarm the Omega. He opened his eyes and looked carefully into Yun Lin'ai's eyes. There was a clarity in them that was different from the past seven days, and there was also clear and undisguised affection.
Shi Yu finally relaxed completely at this moment. In the past seven days, he felt like he was torn in two. His glands were bitten and bleeding and then healed. He felt like he would break if he moved. He closed his eyes again, but he couldn't help but shed tears of fear at this moment.
He turned slightly to the side, not wanting Yun Lin'ai to see his embarrassment.
Yun Lin'ai didn't say anything, but bent down and hugged him. He didn't look at him respectfully, but let Shi Yu's tears wet his body.
He couldn't find the words to blame, and he was reluctant and it was inappropriate. Saying too much would only make Shi Yu feel lost, but he still didn't want Shi Yu to take such a big risk.
So Yun Linai thought about it and said carefully: "I can't control myself and will hurt you. Remember to protect yourself next time, Shi Yu."
When I looked down again, Shi Yu had already fallen asleep. It seemed that he was really tired.
The pheromones mingling in the room were so strong that only the two of them could tolerate them.
Shi Yu knew about Yun Lin'ai's pheromones on the first day. He had been fucked too much at that time, and the scent of Alpha in the room was particularly strong. Even though Shi Yu was already unconscious, he still kept asking.
"What did you smell when you secretly sniffed my pheromones before?"
Shi Yu's breathing quickened slightly, and his voice trembled as memories were aroused: "Moss after the rain, apples, jasmine..."
He described every smell he smelled at that time, but none of them were correct.
But he remembered the taste of pineapple in Yun Lin'ai's mouth when she kissed him that night.
"The pineapple flavor is very strong, and the cedar flavor is a little stronger." This was the unique feeling that night.
So when he said the last word, Yun Lin'ai used more strength, his voice was very deep, and Shi Yu's ears felt particularly itchy.
"It's cedar."
As for why he could smell so many smells, it was Shi Yu's misjudgment.
Qingtai didn't know why, but Yunlin'ai had used apple-scented shampoo, and Jasmine was because in the manor, the housekeeper would put a bouquet of jasmine in everyone's bedroom every day.
As for pineapples, Yun Linai did not drink alcohol at the charity banquet that night, but drank freshly squeezed pineapple juice provided by the partners.
The cedar smell was also particularly strong that night.
No wonder they are so well matched, the taste is very similar, the light and cool fragrance fills the house with warmth.
After the fever period is over, Omega will be particularly dependent on Alpha. As long as the people around him move, Shi Yu will be awakened. He can't help but frown when he feels the pain in his body, but he still can't resist the sleepiness and falls asleep again in Yun Lin'ai's arms.
However, Yun Lin'ai still caught him when he was slightly awake and asked: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Shi Yu wanted to say that he felt uncomfortable everywhere, but the most uncomfortable thing was the bloating and pain in his lower abdomen. He tilted his head and told Yun Linai in a daze before falling asleep: "My stomach."
These days Yun Lin'ai was worried that Shi Yu would have stomachaches due to his reversed day and night routine and lack of food, so he would feed him some nutritional supplements every time he was awake.
Yun Lin'ai touched Shi Yu's lower abdomen and rubbed it gently with his warm palm. The Omega seemed to feel comfortable with the rub and leaned against him with a soft moan.
The usually cold eyes softened at this moment, and the drooping hair was also treated well by the Alpha. The rough fingertips soothed the back of the head again and again. When the thumb rubbed the gland on the back of the other's neck, Yun Lin'ai paused. The teeth marks on it were clearly visible, and the wounds that were accidentally bitten were also scabbed. Yun Lin'ai repeatedly stroked those tiny bumps.
Finally, she lowered her head devoutly and kissed Shi Yu's gland.
"His body hasn't recovered yet, so he'll go out tomorrow."
When Shi Yu woke up in a daze, Yun Lin'ai was sitting by the bed making a phone call. Alpha noticed him at the first moment and reached out to hold his hand in his palm.
Qin Yue sighed deeply over the phone and said to Yun Lin'ai, "You're temporarily stable now, but after the Omega fever period, you need to pay more attention to your emotions and physical condition. You're not unaware of past cases of Omegas suffering from depression due to fever."
Yun Linai hummed softly and held Shi Yu tighter in his palm.
"I won't let that happen to him."
After Yun Lin'ai hung up the phone, Shi Yu was waking up with his eyes closed. After noticing his movements, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.
There was a lot of pheromones released by Alpha in the air, but Yun Lin'ai was still worried and gave Shi Yu a lot.
"Pheromones, is that enough?" He leaned over and rubbed his fingertips on the other's still pale cheek.
Shi Yu felt a little itchy from being touched, and he shrank back into the quilt: "That's enough."
Later, he felt a prickly touch on his wrist. When he looked up, he found that he was wearing a green gem bracelet. Each gem was inlaid on a silver setting with white diamonds, and there was even a butterfly made of gems hanging in the middle.
The color was so dazzling that it made Shi Yu's hands look very white.
Yun Lin'ai must have put it on while he was sleeping, Shi Yu thought blankly.
Seeing that the other party was still staring at the bracelet, Yun Lin'ai pulled down his wrist and held it in his palm: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go back tomorrow?"
The other party didn't seem to want to explain the meaning of the bracelet, nor did he want Shi Yu to pay too much attention to a useless piece of jewelry on his wrist.
"good."
Although there was no particular pain on his body, Shi Yu's legs were still weak and he couldn't walk when he got out of bed. Every time he went to the dining table to eat, Yun Lin'ai had to carry him there. As for whether he could get better quickly, Shi Yu hoped to walk by himself.
This is to prevent others from seeing him and thinking he is an Omega who can't take care of himself.
But in the middle of the night, Shi Yu still developed a high fever, this time more severe than any other time.
His hot forehead pressed against Yun Linai's neck, and even the hot air he exhaled was particularly hot.
Yun Lin'ai was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shi Yu. When the burning sensation touched him, he, who usually slept lightly, was immediately awakened. Before he could regain consciousness, his palm had already touched Shi Yu's forehead.
The other person was still sleeping unconsciously, and no matter how Yun Lin'ai called him, it was useless. Shi Yu's hands were still pulling at his clothes, and he would frown if his body moved a little.
Yun Linai sighed, placed his palm against the back of his hand, and after gently holding it, he said in a low voice: "Let go."
Later, he released a lot of pheromones, and the soft pajamas were rescued from Shi Yu's hands.
He first took out a fever-reducing patch from the first aid kit and applied it to the person, and then took the person's temperature.
The degree was still within the controllable range, but Yun Lin'ai still called Qin Yue out of concern.
"Watch for any rise in temperature and check your temperature every two hours."
Because the person has undergone glandular surgery and has passed the fever period, he must always be careful when taking medication.
But when Yun Lin'ai took Shi Yu's temperature within four hours and found that the temperature was still rising, he finally couldn't help but take people out of the isolation room.
Shi Yu was still not fully awake. When he realized that his posture was uncomfortable, he was already on the way to being carried by Yun Lin'ai.
The marks on his body were covered by the blanket, and his vision was blurry. Shi Yu felt a little dizzy, so he closed his eyes again and asked Yun Linai.
"Where are we going?"
Yun Lin'ai looked down and seemed to be feeling unwell. He pursed his lips and a barely perceptible trace of guilt appeared on his face.
“Go somewhere you feel safe.”
Perhaps he had deeply remembered that Omegas lacked security the most during their fever period, so Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu's conversations became very tactful, and they would go over every word in their minds before speaking.
After all, he just didn't want the sleeping person to feel uneasy because of any words.
He carried Shi Yu to the main ward in the hospital. After Yun Zhi got the news, he quickly turned the car back halfway.
Then he saw the person who had left him upright was now being carried out horizontally—
He suppressed the urge to hit Yun Lin'ai with a stick: "Your illness is causing great harm to others!"
"I spent so much effort this month to make him gain a little weight, and you beat him back to his original shape in just seven days?"
It’s no wonder that Yunzhi was so angry. The Omega was in good health during the month that Yunlin’ai was away, and there were no major problems with his glands. Apart from the occasional recurrence of stomach problems, he didn’t suffer from any other illnesses.
This time the fever was so severe that Yunzhi was really shocked.
However, Yun Lin'ai was used to his grandfather's yelling, so he confessed.
"It's my problem."
The old man was about to open his mouth to continue scolding people, but he only managed to utter a half tone before stopping.
The Yun Linai in front of him treated Shi Yu differently from others, as if a person had been stuffed into his heart and he had completely changed into another person, as if he had been remade.
The first time he showed such a soft side was more than 20 years ago, when Yun Lin'ai's mother was still alive.
And Yun Lin'ai stayed by Shi Yu's side for as long as he was ill.
They only stayed in the ward for one day before Yun Lin'ai took them back to his beachfront villa.
From the moment he got out of the car and entered the room, Shi Yu felt complete silence. Still sick, he couldn't walk alone, so he was carried in by Yun Lin'ai in full view of everyone.
He was even carried to Alpha's own room.
Within his sight, he saw the night light he had given to Yun Lin'ai on the bedside table. While he was lost in thought, Yun Lin'ai leaned over to turn it on. The heart-shaped light bulb slowly floated up and swayed in front of Shi Yu.
After looking for a long time, his eyes were dazzled by the light and hurt a little. Just when he was about to close his eyes, the person next to him covered his eyes.
"Close your eyes and rest."
The quilt was not covered properly, and some marks were revealed on her fair neck. Yun Linai glanced at it and then looked away and covered her with the quilt.
Later, he removed his hand from the other person's eyes and found that Shi Yu's eyes were not only open but also looking at him.
Yun Lin looked at him steadily for a few seconds, thinking he was going to say something, but the other party just stared at him quietly.
"What do you want?" He saw what Shi Yu was thinking at a glance.
Finally, noticing the other person's lips moving, he lowered his head and listened carefully.
Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand outside the quilt, and pinched the cloth on Yun Lin'ai's arm.
"A kiss, okay?"
Yun Lin'ai was stunned by the rare straightforward request, but he didn't think about it for long. Just as Shi Yu wished, he turned his head and pecked the person's lips several times.
Yun Linai asked him, "Is that enough?"
Shi Yu didn't answer, he lowered his head and kissed her again, until Shi Yu couldn't breathe and stepped back a few times, whispering to him: "Enough..."
He stopped and turned to touch his relative's forehead.
