This was the first time Zhao Yexi got off work on time since his internship. The sun had not yet set when he walked out of the research building, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
After buying a bunch of food and taking it home, Zhao Yesi prepared to spend a leisurely evening. It was time for his good friend to come online again.
Zhao Yesi originally wanted to ask Tao Qiaosheng about the situation in their gay circle, but before he could open his mouth, Tao Qiaosheng started howling.
Xiaoqiang is trying hard to become Qiao: I went to the hospital for a checkup today!!!
[It's a tough guy: When will the results be out? ]
Xiaoqiang is trying hard to become Joe: One week later! What should I do? I'm so anxious and nervous! I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that I differentiated into an Alpha, and then I started to grow taller and stronger like crazy, and my legs got thicker! Wow, I'm already 184cm tall. If I grow any taller, I'm going to die. I'm going to die! QAQ]
[You're a tough guy: If you say that again, I'll block you. (Smile)]
Tao Qiaosheng ignored Zhao Yexi's threats: [As Heaven above and the thick earth bear witness, I am willing to sacrifice Zhao Yexi's lifelong singleness in exchange for my transformation into an Omega. (Praying to Buddha with three incense sticks.jpg)]
[It's a tough guy: If you say that, then you're definitely finished.]
In order to help Tao Qiaosheng distract himself, Zhao Yexi asked him to play PUBG. Tao Qiaosheng kept complaining during the game, which seriously affected Zhao Yexi's performance and made him lose the game soon after starting.
"That's enough," Zhao Yexi observed the other teammates, freeing his hands to start peeling the grapefruit he had just bought. "Your results haven't come out yet, so why bother?"
Tao Qiaosheng cried, "I think I have an anxiety disorder. Xizi, don't you have a cousin who's a psychologist? Can you help me make an appointment with him?"
"…Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I feel really bad, I must be sick!"
"Okay, you wait."
Five minutes later, Zhao Yexi told Tao Qiaosheng, "1500 per hour, do you still want to make an appointment?"
Tao Qiaosheng was silent for two seconds, then said, "I suddenly feel much better."
Zhao Yesi hummed and said, "What a success."
Tao Qiaosheng said aggrievedly, "This is what happens to us poor people."
Zhao Yexi chatted with his cousin for a while. His cousin said that he was very busy recently and his appointments were almost all full.
[It's a tough guy: Is it because of the second gender issue? ]
[Little cousin: Yes, many people who are divided can't accept the sudden addition of a gender. This is especially true for female Alphas and male Omegas. Most of them are still in school, mostly high school. Adolescents are naturally sensitive, and now facing rejection from their classmates because of their division, they're more or less experiencing some psychological problems.]
Zhao Yexi thought for a moment and asked, "So, do you think the second gender should be made public?"
[Little cousin: Personally, I think it's better to consider the wishes of the person involved.]
[Little cousin: Oh, Xiaoxi, I got my PhD!]
[He's a tough guy: 6, brother, congratulations.]
[Little cousin: Now you are the only one in our family who doesn't have a PhD. (laughing)]
[He's a tough guy: (handsome and indifferent.jpg)]
Tao Qiaosheng heard the noise coming from Zhao Yesi and asked, "Xizi, are you eating?"
"yes."
"What are you eating?"
"grapefruit."
Tao Qiaosheng casually asked, "Is it delicious?"
Zhao Yesi felt the sour and sweet taste in his mouth, like a ruthless chewing machine: "It tastes terrible."
Lu Huangzhi didn't tell him the smell of his pheromones, and he couldn't smell it himself. Although he was very angry, he could only eat a few slices of grapefruit to vent his anger.
After the glands grew, Zhao Yesi had to use odor blockers every time he went out. He also had to pay attention to his physical condition at all times and prepare for the first susceptible period in his life.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yesi walked into the office on time, holding a cup of freshly ground soy milk from the restaurant.
Zhao Yesi put the soy milk on the table, grabbed his ears with both hands, and stamped his feet in pain. "Oh my god, this is scalding me!"
Lu Huangzhi, who was already sitting at his workstation, looked up at him, his eye bags raised and a smile in his eyes: "You're trying to make me happy so early in the morning?"
Zhao Yesi realized that his action was a bit silly, so he calmly put his hand down and said, "I am just making the dog happy."
Lu Huangzhi asked him: "Have you used the barrier agent?"
"none of your business."
After Zhao Yesi finished speaking, he heard someone laughing behind him. He turned around and saw a handsome and mature-looking man sitting at the originally empty workstation.
"Zhao Yesi," the man extended his hand to Zhao Yesi. "I'm Gong Juren. I was sent out for research and just got back today."
"Tools...?" Zhao Yesi glanced at the man's work badge with a complicated expression.
This... Does the ABO Institute have any special requirements for names when recruiting?
Zhao Yesi and Gong Juren shook hands. Gong Juren asked, "I heard you're an Omega?"
Lu Huangzhi looked at the two of them.
"Yes," Zhao Yesi said, "What's the problem?"
"No problem." Gong Juren smiled, "It seems you are the only Omega in our department."
Zhao Yexi: "Oh."
Lu Huangzhi withdrew his gaze.
The department held a morning meeting, with Gong Juren as the keynote speaker. He sided with Guan Chengji, believing that second genders should be fully publicized. Consequently, he spent a month conducting research in a small, tier-one city.
"I visited ten high schools in the city and found that with the right guidance, most people can view the emergence of a second gender rationally and show more concern than prejudice towards the already differentiated students."
Guan Chengji nodded, "It's hard work."
Liang Qinghuan said calmly, "The key lies in whether those divided students want to receive excessive attention from others."
Gong Juren said methodically, "It's not a matter of whether they want to or not, they have to accept it. Everyone knows the symptoms of an Omega's susceptible period. How much trouble can an Omega in susceptible period cause to those around them? Alphas and Omegas are extremely sensitive to each other's pheromones. Even if they are the same primary gender, they should be differentiated. Especially in full-time colleges and universities, there should no longer be situations where male Alphas and male Omegas live in the same dormitory. The school, students, and their parents all have the right to know whether everyone in the school is an Alpha, Beta, or Omega. This is the only way to be responsible to every student."
Zhao Yesi was about to speak when Lu Huangzhi beat him to the punch.
"Can I ask what research methods you used?"
Gong Juren was silent for a moment, then asked, "What does Mr. Lu mean?"
“If the methodology is wrong, these conclusions won’t mean much.”
Gong Juren smiled gracefully and said, "How could my method be wrong?"
Liang Qinghuan looked at Lu Huangzhi and said gently, "Huangzhi just said 'if', is he wrong in the end..."
"I'll discuss this with Professor Liang." Guan Chengji stood up and said, "The meeting is adjourned."
Returning to his workstation, Gong Juren said to Zhao Yesi, "I thought you would come out and agree with me. I'm a little disappointed."
Gong Juren's comment at the meeting, "How much trouble can a susceptible Omega cause to those around him?" made Zhao Yesi a little unhappy, and he spoke less politely than before: "What gave you this illusion?"
"Aren't you Professor Guan's student?"
"Yes," Zhao Yesi said, "but my master didn't seem to say anything just now."
Gong Juren was speechless for a moment: "This..."
After lunch, Zhao Yesi took out the ointment Xiong Chumo had prescribed for him. Lu Huangzhi asked, "Do you want to apply the ointment?"
"You are blind."
"Applying medicine to your glands in the office does seem like something you would do." Lu Huangzhi took the ointment from Zhao Yesi's hand and said, "Go to the tea room."
Zhao Yesi thought of what happened in the tea room last time, and his face looked a little uncomfortable, "I won't."
"Then go to the meeting room."
Everyone was having lunch at this time, and there was no one in the meeting room. Zhao Yesi asked, "Why did you come here?"
Lu Huangzhi leaned against the conference table and said, "See if you need my help, Senior."
"Didn't you say that you can't let an Alpha touch your glands?"
"It can't be touched by 'other Alphas'. I've already touched it, so it doesn't matter."
Zhao Yesi sneered and said, "I don't trust you. Give me the medicine."
Lu Huangzhi threw the ointment to Zhao Yesi, "Be gentle, don't scratch around."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Zhao Yesi squeezed out the ointment between his fingertips and applied it to the gland. It felt cool and refreshing.
Lu Huangzhi's gaze fell on Zhao Yesi's fingers.
Zhao Yesi's hands were as small as he was, his fingers thinner than those of an average boy. His clean, fair fingers dipped in the ointment and gently rubbed it around the back of his thin neck, moistening and brightening that small patch of skin.
Lu Huangzhi looked at it for a while and said, "You got it on your hair."
Zhao Yesi subconsciously looked back, but saw nothing.
Lu Huangzhi pulled out a piece of paper from the table and said, "I'll help you erase it."
"I myself..."
He felt the soft touch of a tissue on the back of his neck. Lu Huangzhi said from behind him, "Don't move, senior, or you'll touch the gland."
Zhao Yesi's body stiffened. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
He didn't feel anything special when he applied the medicine himself, but now Lu Huangzhi was just closer to his gland, and his hand didn't even touch him, but he felt something was wrong.
Lu Huangzhi wiped his hair and asked nonchalantly, "Didn't you say you wanted to find an Alpha to help you smell it? Did you find one?"
"Not yet. I've been too busy these days. I'll look for it when I have some free time..." Something warm touched his gland. It seemed to be Lu Huangzhi's hand. Zhao Yesi hissed and urged, "Are you ready?"
"Okay." Lu Huangzhi threw the tissue into the trash can beside him, took out another one, and wiped his hands slowly.
Bu Chunzhai said: "Are you ready? Let's go!"
"Let's go." Zhao Yesi was stunned for a moment, and hid behind Lu Huangzhi in fear, "Who the hell is this——"
Lu Huangzhi saw Bu Chunzhai sitting in the corner and frowned slightly, "When did you come?"
Bu Chunzhai smiled and said, "I've been in the conference room the whole time—I was there when you came in."
Zhao Yexi thought to himself, "Isn't this really the ABO Research Institute? Not some abnormal human research center?"
