Chapter 17: Ringing the Bell "At least now, I have your back."...
Chapter.Seventeenth
Wen Jiangchu's low voice fell into Chen Qiudu's ears. His pupils shrank, and his helpless heart made him shake his head mechanically.
"No...no, I didn't...no."
Chen Qiudu raised his hand listlessly to press against Wen Jiangchu's chest, but he was grabbed by him and sniffed and kissed his fingertips like a puppy.
Those were the fingers that Shen Qiudu had subconsciously used to cover the gland just now, and they were stained with the scent of trumpet creeper.
Wen Jiangchu's drooping brows and dazed eyes could only make Chen Qiudu cling to a little and deceive himself: he was B-level and could not 100% attract Wen Jiangchu, an S-level Alpha, to enter the susceptible period early.
But Chen Qiudu forgot one thing: pheromones weren't the only factor affecting humans. Just standing in front of Wen Jiangchu and breathing was enough.
Chen Qiudu's mind was about to explode. He had never been so close to an Alpha before his susceptible period. He didn't dare to think about what he would do if Wen Jiangchu found out.
He would be like those people, wanting to take the opportunity to eat him, or look at the exposed and soft glands with those obscene and dirty eyes.
The daylight hanging high above his head was like a silver needle sentencing him to guilt, squeezing him dry and crushing him. The anxiety and panic before the susceptible period tortured every inch of Chen Qiudu's skin.
During the susceptible period, Omega will extremely desire the intimacy and companionship of Alpha, which will magnify a hundred times the desire and craving that Shen Qiudu has hidden with great difficulty.
For Shen Qiudu, this was like exposing all his secrets that he could not speak of.
His previous feigned calmness and strength were nothing but an illusion before the collapse of the dangerous wall, a pipe dream that Chen Qiudu had fabricated for himself.
Chen Qiudu always thought that he was brave and independent, able to support the crumbling family on his own, and would not be like those Omegas who had to accept the fate of being committed to others.
But now everything that is out of control makes Chen Qiudu despise himself. It reveals a bloody truth - in fact, Chen Qiudu is not as strong as he thinks. He can't protect the people he wants to protect. He is no different from those Omegas, or even worse.
But he didn't accept it, and was even more unwilling to believe it!
So, Chen Qiudu desperately used brute force to push Wen Jiangchu's body away, ran to the head of the bed, and took out a pair of scissors from under the pillow with trembling hands.
"Chen Qiudu! What are you going to do!? Be obedient and put down the scissors——"
"Just leave! If you leave... I'll be fine."
His eyes were red, but no tears fell. He resolutely pressed the scissors against the gland that was already in excruciating pain, his voice cracking and hoarse.
Chen Qiudu began to hypnotize himself again. Only in this way could he escape reality for a short time.
Yes, as long as Wen Jiangchu, the person who always makes him lose control, leaves, he will still be the same Chen Qiudu, and nothing will change.
As long as Wen Jiangchu exists for one second, Chen Qiudu's Omega nature will automatically send him into Wen Jiangchu's hands, and he will even feel happy.
This is terrible.
Chen Qiudu cannot trust anyone, nor can he entrust himself to anyone. This is the truth he has always adhered to after living in the slums for many years.
Even his biological father would want to sell him for money, let alone a stranger who he has been with for less than three months?
What's more, if he were to be with someone whose pheromones he loved so much, his truest desires would be exposed, and he didn't want to, and it was impossible for him to, take the initiative to reveal his weaknesses.
Because Shen Qiudu didn't want to be a fish struggling helplessly under the tip of a knife.
"Okay, okay... I'm leaving, right now."
Wen Jiangchu slowed down his voice, tried his best to calm Chen Qiudu, and slowly moved to the door. Finally, his lonely figure was swallowed up by the darkness.
The door closed and everything disappeared.
The pale scissors fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the limp body fell unexpectedly, causing Shen Qiudu to fall heavily to the ground.
His shoulders were still shaking, and the pain in his glands was getting worse.
Shen Qiudu forced himself to stay rational, took out two tubes of cheap inhibitors from the drawer, and inserted them into his body without hesitation.
Cheap inhibitors seeping into the body are accompanied by strong side effects. Headaches, nausea, high fever... But these are nothing to Chen Qiudu right now.
As long as everything goes well in tonight's operation, he will have no regrets even if he dies.
Half an hour after the inhibitor was injected, the severe pain in the gland finally subsided. Chen Qiudu struggled to get up from the ground. As soon as he took a breath, the strong scent of trumpet creeper rushed into his nose.
His nerves instantly tensed. Just now... it was too dangerous. Half an hour later, the pheromones were still so strong. Not to mention what it would be like to be with Wen Jiangchu, Chen Qiudu couldn't even imagine it.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the different levels, Wen Jiangchu's reaction was not too intense, and he had no intention of marking him.
Thinking of this, Chen Qiudu pursed his lips, his heart a little depressed, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much. He quickly touched his phone and sent a message to Xu Zhouye -
[The time has come ahead. I'm going to the garage to wait for you now.]
Chen Qiudu calmed himself down before quietly opening the door. He poked his head out from behind the door and carefully looked at the corridor on the second floor.
It was already daybreak and ten o'clock in the morning. Chen Qiudu arrived almost 12 hours early, but leaving the Wen family now was the best option he could think of.
The corridor was empty, and there was no sound at all. Shen Qiudu tiptoed out of the room and headed for the stairs.
Wen Jiangchu's bedroom is on the right side of his house. If he wants to go downstairs, he will definitely pass by Wen Jiangchu's room, but now his door is closed tightly and he can hardly hear any sound.
When passing by, Chen Qiudu heard the intermittent sound of water, which should be Wen Jiangchu taking a bath.
Chen Qiudu breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he placed his palm on the stair rail, a frivolous male voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Where are you going?"
The sudden sound made Chen Qiudu, who was tense, lose his focus and almost missed a step. He turned around and saw Xue Shanke, wearing dark blue silk pajamas, leaning lazily against the door, watching Chen Qiudu's sneaky movements with a look of amusement.
"I...I'm going downstairs to get some fresh air. The second floor is too stuffy."
Chen Qiudu lied without blushing or beating his heart, meeting Xue Shanke's deep black eyes. A silent silence filled the space between them.
After a while, Xue Shanke spoke first, "Then go ahead, but don't catch a cold. If you catch a cold, Wen Jiangchu won't let me go."
Chen Qiudu lowered his eyes and said nothing, walking downstairs on his own. He knew that Xue Shanke was still staring at him. Although he didn't understand what Xue Shanke was going to do, he couldn't stop him.
"Shen Qiudu."
At the last step, Xue Shanke finally couldn't help but call out to Chen Qiudu.
"Wen Jiangchu is not a stranger to you."
"Why don't you try to believe him?"
"I don't disbelieve it."
Shen Qiudu did not stop.
“I just believe in myself more.”
＊
As soon as Chen Qiudu closed the door of the villa, the sound of water in Wen Jiangchu's house stopped.
He was wearing a bathrobe and walked quietly to Xue Shanke with a cold look on his face. He looked at Chen Qiudu through the window.
"I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you, but I couldn't stop him."
"Don't stop him. This is what he wants to do, so let him do it."
"At least now, I have your back."
Xue Shanke clicked his tongue a few times, his eyes full of contempt for Wen Jiangchu, the pervert. He leaned against the railing and took a deep breath.
"Then what are you going to do with Xu Zhouye?"
Wen Jiangchu wiped the cold water off his cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, "That's it. At least for now, I don't want to say anything."
"But that's your parents' business, why are you being blamed?"
Wen Jiangchu's throat felt dry and his words got stuck in his throat.
In fact, he didn't know either, but if this could be the only straw for Xu Zhouye to survive, then he would accept it.
