After that, more and more colleagues came to talk to Lu Huangzhi, no matter what. They would ask him when the water dispenser was out of water, when they encountered problems at work, and even ask him if he wanted to join them for afternoon tea. Zhao Yesi, watching from the opposite side, felt tired for Lu Huangzhi.
At first, Lu Huangzhi was barely patient, changing the water when necessary and refusing when necessary. Half a day later, he put on his headphones, worked with his eyes downcast, his expression cold and distant, his aura of "stay away from me" even stronger than Guan Chengji's.
A rather tactless boy approached Lu Huangzhi and started to speak. "Well, I don't know what happened, but my internet connection suddenly went offline. It was working fine just now. I've restarted my computer and tried unplugging and plugging the network cable back in, but it didn't work. I really don't know what to do. Can you help me out?"
The boy was very handsome and had fair skin. Zhao Yexi looked a little unfamiliar with him. But when he saw the words "Logistics Department" written on his work badge, he was immediately surprised.
People from the logistics department found the investigation department even though they didn’t have internet?
Lu Huangzhi seemed not to hear and continued doing what he was doing.
The boy touched Lu Huangzhi's shoulder and said cautiously, "Lu Huangzhi?"
Lu Huangzhi took off his headphones and said calmly, "I'm the operations manager?"
The boy was so embarrassed that he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Go find the person you need to find." Lu Huangzhi said, and put his headphones back on.
Zhao Yesi chuckled. Lu Huangzhi looked at the computer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"No way, you can hear that?" Zhao Yexi asked, "Aren't you wearing headphones?"
"You laughed too loudly. Even the front desk on the first floor could hear it, let alone me."
"Come on, I didn't even laugh just now."
The two of them inexplicably started slacking off at work. When Guan Chengji came out of Liang Qinghuan's office, Zhao Yesi immediately shut up, lowered his body guiltily, and hid himself behind the computer.
The weekend finally arrived, but it rained all day. There's no heating in the south, so it's damp and cold. The wind is like a magical attack, even more terrifying than the physical attacks in the north. Zhao Yesi didn't go anywhere, just curled up on the sofa, writing the 800-word report Xiong Chumo had requested.
He used 750 words to describe his feelings about Lu Huangzhi's pheromones. With 50 words left, he couldn't write any more, so he typed a row of spaces in an attempt to get away with it.
After sending the email, Zhao Yesi poured himself some cold boiled water as if nothing had happened and drank it in one gulp.
There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Yesi ran to open it in his fluffy slippers. He didn't see the delivery boy he was thinking about, but Tao Qiaosheng, whose eyes were red and his body was soaking wet.
Tao Qiaosheng hadn't told him he would be coming, so Zhao Yesi asked in surprise, "Why are you here so suddenly?"
Tao Qiaosheng hugged Zhao Yesi tightly, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Xizi... I, I fucking differentiated into an Alpha, ah!"
Zhao Yexi's facial features were distorted by Tao Qiaosheng's strangulation, and he almost suffocated, "Ah!"
The rain was pattering. Tao Qiaosheng sat on the sofa, wrapped in Zhao Yesi's blanket, crying breathlessly.
Zhao Yexi took the odor blocker and sprayed Tao Qiaosheng with it, then sprayed himself. He brought up Tao Qiaosheng's words of comfort when he was breaking down last time, saying, "It's just an Alpha, and you're not the only one who's differentiated. If you want to have a baby, let's find an Omega."
Tao Qiaosheng's peach blossom eyes were swollen from crying, "I've always wanted to be 0! I've never done it!"
"Then just keep doing it," Zhao Yexi said. "Is there any law that says Alpha can't do 0—wait, what do you mean you haven't done it before?"
Tao Qiaosheng looked at Zhao Yesi eagerly.
Zhao Yesi stepped back, his eyes filled with fear. "No way, brother. Don't tell me you've been in a platonic relationship with that scumbag for seven years?"
Tao Qiaosheng burped and said, "How is that possible?"
"That is..."
Zhao Yesi realized something and suddenly froze.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yexi said, "Wait a minute, let me sort it out. You and him, you are not Plato, but also not Zero?"
Tao Qiaosheng covered his face: "Ah, a little shy."
Zhao Yexi stood up and bowed solemnly to Tao Qiaosheng at a 90-degree angle: "I underestimated you before. I'm sorry."
Rainy winter days are the best for sleeping. Lu Huangzhi slept for the entire afternoon, and was finally awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
When he opened the door, Lu Huangzhi was a little grumpy and in a low-pressure state, which made his gay friend who came to find him very panicked.
His gay friend is called He Yanzhao, and he is closest to Lu Huangzhi in the circle.
Lu Huangzhi asked: "What's the matter?"
He Yanzhao blinked, "Happy birthday?"
Lu Huangzhi: “…”
"You won't forget, will you?"
"I haven't forgotten." Lu Huangzhi received his birthday presents from his parents early this morning: a car and a watch, which are similar every year. "Come in."
He Yanzhao looked around the apartment and said, "How can someone live in such a small place?"
"It's enough to live alone."
He Yanzhao couldn't understand: "You don't really want to stay in academia forever! What can you do with that little salary you get every month? It might not even be enough for a meal."
"Not really."
"You haven't gotten tired of playing yet?"
Lu Huangzhi remained silent. He picked up his phone, and WeChat was filled with messages wishing him a happy birthday. He clicked on the chat box with Zhao Yesi, and the last message was from Zhao Yesi the day before yesterday: "Oh!"
He Yanzhao said: "They set up a trap for you and sent me to pick you up."
Lu Huangzhi had no interest, "I'm too lazy to go."
"It's your birthday, you can't stay home all day. Forget about other times, but you have to go today." He Yanzhao said, "I've already paid for the whole place, about a million yuan, why don't you give me some face?"
"No."
He Yanzhao: “…”
He Yanzhao spoke a lot of beautiful Chinese, and his lips were almost worn out, but he finally got Lu Huangzhi out of the house.
When they left, the door opposite was open. Zhao Yesi took the takeaway from the delivery boy and was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Huangzhi and a strange man.
He Yanzhao looked at Zhao Yesi: "Is this... the senior you mentioned last time?"
Lu Huangzhi raised the corner of his lips, "Yeah."
Zhao Yexi: “?”
He Yanzhao is a natural friend, and the more people there are, the more excited he is. "So, do you want to join us, senior?" He Yanzhao said with a smile, "There are a lot of young ladies and internet celebrities here."
Zhao Yesi was a little confused: "Together... for what?"
"Celebrate Lu Huangzhi's birthday."
Zhao Yesi said "Oh" and said to Lu Huangzhi indifferently: "Happy birthday."
Lu Huangzhi said: "It was not arranged by me."
Whoever arranged it, it’s none of his business.
"I won't go," Zhao Yexi said, "You guys have fun."
Tao Qiaosheng's voice rang out from the apartment: "Xizi, your blanket smells so good. Is this the smell of your pheromones? It smells so sweet."
"Fuck, who allowed you to smell it blindly?"
Lu Huangzhi raised his hand to block the door that was about to close, and said, "Who's in there?" and looked inside.
Tao Qiaosheng greeted Lu Huangzhi: "Hi, Lu Xiaocao."
Lu Huangzhi glanced at the blanket in Tao Qiaosheng's hand and asked, "Are you divided?"
"He's become an Alpha." Tao Qiaosheng said with a sad face, "Lu Xiaocao is also an Alpha, right? Let's add WeChat and communicate more in the future."
"I'll send you his WeChat later. He's busy right now." Zhao Yesi raised his chin. "Hand, I'm going to close the door."
Lu Huangzhi put down his hands and said with a smile: "You guys have fun too."
On the way to the bar, He Yanzhao said, "I couldn't see clearly last time because I was too far away. Now that I've looked closely, I realize you're really a naive senior."
Lu Huangzhi said "hmm" absentmindedly.
"No wonder you're so fun to tease."
Lu Huangzhi looked at the rain outside the car window and said, "Sometimes I'm not happy either." Like now.
"If you're all unhappy, then stop teasing me. Wouldn't it be better to find someone who's happy?"
Lu Huangzhi thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem to be fragrant."
When Lu Huangzhi arrived at the bar, the atmosphere was already quite lively. He dealt with these superficial friends, received a bunch of useless birthday gifts, and then was dragged by He Yanzhao to drink.
A girl with long curly hair and a small suspender came up to Lu Huangzhi and asked, "Brother, what kind of wine would you like to drink?"
Lu Huangzhi glanced at the girl and said, "You're wearing so little, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold with the heater on. By the way, brother, I'm an Omega, and my pheromones smell like red wine." The girl pushed her hair to one side, revealing the back of her neck. "Brother, do you want to smell it?"
"That's not necessary." Lu Huangzhi said, "Put on your clothes and help me run an errand."
"Uh-huh?"
"Go to the milk tea shop and buy a cup of Zhizhi Taotao."
The girl asked, "Why are you buying Zhizhi Taotao?"
"Satisfy your craving."
Tao Qiaosheng stayed at Zhao Yesi's place until the evening. In the past, Zhao Yesi would have let him sleep on the sofa. However, given their gender incompatibility, Zhao Yesi kicked Tao Qiaosheng out of the house without hesitation.
Tao Qiaosheng stood at the door, feeling the cold wind blowing, and said, "So love will disappear, right?"
"Stop wasting time," Zhao Yesi said, putting on his coat. "It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll take you home."
Tao Qiaosheng lived quite far away, and it was already very late when Zhao Yesi came and went.
The rain still showed no signs of stopping, and the streets were deserted with almost no cars.
While waiting at the traffic light, Zhao Yesi felt a little hot and turned down the air conditioner. The windshield wipers kept shaking in front of his eyes, as if there were double images.
A horn sounded from behind, and Zhao Yesi quickly started the car.
The car was getting increasingly stuffy, and Zhao Yexi realized something was wrong with his body. He quickly found a parking lot in a nearby park and parked the car.
He smelled something unusual in the car, a faint scent of peaches mixed with the aroma of cheese and milk. He was very familiar with this smell; it was his favorite milk tea.
He used the barrier agent again before going out. Unless his pheromones were out of control, it would be impossible for him to emit such a strong smell.
Zhao Yesi slumped over the steering wheel, feeling groggy. The aroma of Zhizhi Peach gradually grew stronger. Zhao Yesi hurriedly opened the car window, and the slanting rain streamed in, sobering him up a bit.
When he emailed her today, he'd also mentioned to Xiong Chumo that he'd volunteered to participate in the pheromone research. Xiong Chumo had told him to let her know when his susceptible period arrived. He hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.
Zhao Yesi called Xiong Chumo. Xiong Chumo immediately asked, "Where are you now?"
Zhao Yesi reported the address, and Xiong Chumo said, "Stay there and don't run around. I'll call someone over right away."
Soon, Zhao Yesi began to develop a low-grade fever, weakness, and limb weakness. He moved to the relatively spacious back seat of the car, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, his heart in a turmoil.
Being an Omega is so troublesome. When will we find an inhibitor that can solve the susceptible period? And what exactly is that method that Bears mentioned that doesn't require hospitalization or intravenous drips...
After an unknown amount of time, the car door suddenly opened. Zhao Yesi squinted his eyes, but before he could see anything clearly, he smelled the familiar scent of grapefruit.
It was crisp yet alluring, carrying the dampness of rain into the car.
Zhao Yesi opened his mouth and asked, "Why is it you?"
Lu Huangzhi got in and closed the car door.
The space in the car was limited, and the smell of grapefruit quickly spread inside, blending with the smell of peaches.
Lu Huangzhi seemed to have rushed over, panting slightly as he spoke: "Xiong Chumo told me the method."
"What--"
"Senior, turn around."
"……Um?"
Zhao Yesi's confused look seemed to have triggered a certain mechanism in Lu Huangzhi. He put one arm around Zhao Yesi's waist and held him on his lap.
Zhao Yesi had his back to him, and the white neck was right in front of him.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Yesi struggled insignificantly in his arms, the smell of Omega pheromones unscrupulously occupying all his senses.
Lu Huangzhi's eyes darkened and he bit Zhao Yesi's neck.
“Hmm…”
Zhao Yesi's eyes suddenly widened, and his struggles intensified. Lu Huangzhi grabbed his hand and pressed it firmly against the rain-soaked car window.
Feeling that the person in his arms gradually calmed down, Lu Huangzhi relaxed his grip and slowly licked the tooth marks left by his bite with the tip of his tongue.
