Fang Fengzhi slowly opened his eyes, his body weak as if it had been submerged in water for ages, yet oddly relaxed and at ease. The pheromones in the room that did not belong to him wrapped his body tightly with a thick and pungent smell. He was confused about the source of the pheromones and could only reluctantly sit up from the bed.
His mind was completely blank after that sleep. The last thing he remembered was that he had inserted the syringe of the inhibitor into his body. In a trance he heard someone calling his name, but he could not remember what happened after that.
His stomach suddenly growled with hunger. Fang Fengzhi rubbed his belly and got up from the bed.
Then he paused. He stared at the pants he was wearing. They looked like sports shorts, but they were longer than his calves. He looked at the clothes he was wearing again. They were not the same as before. They were loose and would reveal most of his chest if pulled.
Who helped him change into this?
Fragmentary memories suddenly flooded into his mind, the obscure and dim quilt, the thick and sticky smell of smoke, the man’s strong arms, the painful and refreshing friction of the glands…
Fang Fengzhi’s eyes widened. He stood up but sat back down because his legs were weak. His whole body was weak, and his crotch was inexplicably burning. He held onto the edge of the bed and stood up again.
The pheromones in the villa are very strong, so that person should not have left yet.
He opened the door and walked downstairs in a hurry. He first looked at the door. The unfamiliar shoes seemed to be still at the entrance. He turned his head and saw him sitting in the dining room. He walked a few steps over there and saw the Alpha sitting at the dining table eating. He was holding a mobile phone in his left hand and looking at something seriously and a pair of chopsticks in his right hand.
He heard Fang Fengzhi’s footsteps, turned off his phone and put it aside, and then looked up at the Omega, who looked terrified. “What’s wrong?”
The Alpha looked nonchalant, as if nothing had happened, just like usual. Fang Fengzhi even suspected that there was something wrong with his memory. He watched the Alpha suddenly stand up and slowly walk towards him. Thinking of the scene in his memory, Fang Fengzhi walked towards him with some unsteady breathing, “Have we, have we…”
He really couldn’t say those two words and could only look at the Alpha anxiously.
Min Zhi reached out to support his weak body, “No.”
“Nothing happened between us.”
Fang Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Min Zhi sniffed the Omega’s pheromones gently, and they were not that strong. He supported Fang Fengzhi steadily, then let go of his hand. “Eat something first, and I’ll take you to the hospital later.”
Fang Fengzhi raised his head to see Min Zhi’s expression, but his nose bumped into the alpha’s chest. He then realized that they were too close and stepped back. It was the first time he spoke to this Alpha at such a close distance. Compared to him, the Alpha was too tall, much taller than the average alpha, and his body was also very broad, like a human-shaped flesh wall, blocking the road ahead.
It was the same before, he used these strong arms to hold him in his arms… and even helped him change his clothes.
Fang Fengzhi blushed, thinking that the two of them were too ambiguous.
“Thank you… but no need, I can go by myself.”
“I’ll go with you.” The Alpha said forcefully, as if he felt his tone was not good, and added, “If you go alone, something might happen on the way again.”
Fang Fengzhi wanted to say something else, but thinking about his inexplicable horniness, he finally didn’t refuse anymore.
It seemed that he had absorbed enough of the Alpha pheromones when he stuffed him into the quilt, and now the restlessness in his body was calmed down. He didn’t feel any discomfort until he arrived at the hospital.
Since he was the one who marked Fang Fengzhi, he stayed with Fang Fengzhi throughout the examination.
The doctor took the report and asked, “When was the last time you took medicine?”
“This morning.”
“What about the inhibitor?”
“…About noon.”
The doctor and Min Zhi both looked at him.
The doctor frowned, “Your dosage is too high. Once you develop drug resistance, the effect won’t be that obvious anymore.”
“The pheromones in your body are in a very chaotic state right now.” He handed the report to Fang Fengzhi. “Overuse of inhibitors has led to irregular pheromone secretion, fluctuating between unusually high and low levels.”
“The symptoms are not obvious now, but if the pheromone imbalance occurs over time, various physical diseases will appear. In the most serious cases, it may lead to infertility.”
The doctor wrote out a list and handed it to him, “Don’t use the inhibitors anymore. Take some medicine first, and then come back for a checkup.”
Fang Fengzhi looked at the list in his hand, thanked the doctor, and stood up. He couldn’t tell what he felt.
He liked children very much, and he had always hoped to have a child of his own with Fu Baiqi, but Fu Baiqi didn’t want to.
Min Zhi followed him out, and when he reached the door, he remembered something and said, “Wait a moment.” Fang Fengzhi watched him walk into the office again and said a few words to the doctor inside.
When he came out, Fang Fengzhi remained silent. Min Zhi glanced down at him, noticing his downcast mood. Without saying a word, he simply walked beside him at a slow pace.
The two made their way to the hospital lobby—the most crowded and chaotic area, filled with all sorts of noise. Yet amidst the clamor, Fang Fengzhi caught a voice that sounded strikingly familiar. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look in that direction.
He froze, a sharp pang piercing through his heart for a moment.
As the people in that direction turned to look, he quickly turned away. “Let’s go the other way.” He said in a hurry. Min Zhi gave him a glance, then followed his gaze—it was Fu Baiqi and that Omega he had seen in the parking lot the other day.
Min Zhi withdrew his gaze and was just about to turn around when he heard someone call him.
“Director Min.”
Min Zhi was tall and stood out in the crowd—they spotted him at a glance and started walking toward him.
Min Zhi looked at the Omega beside him, who had gone completely stiff, then glanced at the two people walking toward him—clearly very close. He paused for a second, then suddenly reached out and pulled Fang Fengzhi into his arms.
Startled by the sudden movement, the Omega instinctively tried to pull away, but Min Zhi reached out to stop him. “Don’t move. Don’t say a word.”
The two walked up to them. Fu Baiqi looked at the Omega in his arms. “President Min, this is…?”
Min Zhi gave them a slight smile. “My fiancée. He’s not feeling well.”
“Ah, I see. Is everything alright?” Fu Baiqi’s gaze lingered on the Omega in Min Zhi’s arms. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this person’s back looked familiar—and the scent of the pheromones mingling with Min Zhi’s seemed like something he’d smelled before.
“It’s nothing,” Min Zhi said softly, gently patting the person in his arms on the back. His warm hand moved up to stroke Fang Fengzhi’s hair in a comforting gesture. “He’s just a bit upset.”
Hearing that, the two seemed to understand—most likely, the test results hadn’t been ideal, and this Omega was hiding in his fiancé’s arms, quietly shedding tears.
Fu Baiqi still had his hand supporting the person beside him—that beautiful Omega was limping slightly. Fu Baiqi nodded toward Min Zhi. “We’ll be heading off first then. He twisted his ankle just now, so I’m taking him to get it checked.”
Min Zhi felt the person in his arms tightly clutching his clothes.
He nodded at the two people in front of him.
After they had left, Min Zhi released his grip and said, “They’ve gone.”
But the Omega didn’t budge, clinging to him like a child seeking comfort. Min Zhi didn’t push him away, quietly letting him hold on. After a long silence, he began to hear soft, stifled sobs—each one barely audible, as if the Omega was trying hard to hide them, letting the sound escape only after it had been buried deep inside.
Min Zhi lowered his eyes, quietly gazing at the top of the Omega’s head for a moment. Then, without a word, he reached out and pulled him into a full embrace.
The person in his arms was so small, his body was tiny, with narrow shoulders that could almost be enclosed by a single arm. Now, as he held him, he completely enveloped the Omega—unless someone looked directly at them, they wouldn’t even realize he was holding someone. The sobs were soft, muffled against his chest, and if he wasn’t holding him, he wouldn’t have been able to hear the crying at all.
Min Zhi stood quietly, his hand moving gently across his back, each motion soft and soothing.
Fang Fengzhi’s tears became harder to hold back. He thought perhaps the heavens were testing him, making him endure suffering because he had gained this marriage so effortlessly. Otherwise, why else would he have run into Fu Baiqi at this moment? He worriedly supported his beloved Omega, claiming that he had twisted his ankle.
He had also twisted his ankle, but during this time, Fu Baiqi hadn’t even returned home. Even if he had, the outcome would likely have been the same—he wouldn’t care about him, or rather, he wouldn’t pay attention to where he was hurting.
Fang Fengzhi tightly grasped Min Zhi’s clothes. He was in great pain and discomfort. He knew that his pheromones had long been secreted abnormally. His pheromones were 100% matched with Fu Baiqi’s. They could easily become aroused by each other’s pheromones. In order to prevent themselves from being intimate, Fu Baiqi asked Fang Fengzhi not to release his pheromones in front of him. This was very difficult. As long as he was an Omega, it was impossible to control his pheromones. But because he was afraid that Fu Baiqi would hate him, Fang Fengzhi still did as he was told.
Originally, he only used inhibitors during his estrus period, but over time, he began taking the medication whenever Fu Baiqi came home, and even injected the drug whenever he unintentionally came into contact with Fu Baiqi’s pheromones.
Until now, his body has gradually become what it is now.
Should Fu Baiqi be blamed for this? No, if anyone was to blame, it should be himself.
It was his own fault for stubbornly marrying Fu Baiqi. There had never been any love between them; he was the only one desperately trying to make it work.
He wasn’t sure who had told him, but he had heard that an Omega’s body needs to be nourished by an Alpha’s pheromones. When he saw Bai Zhen earlier, he couldn’t help but notice how beautiful he was.
Looking at himself, he was becoming increasingly dry and weak.
He left Min Zhi’s arms, tears still hanging on his eyelids. He stared blankly at the wet spot on Min Zhi’s chest. Suddenly he felt embarrassed. He didn’t dare to look at Min Zhi and lowered his eyes to the ground. “I’m sorry… I got your clothes wet…”
Min Zhi looked at him, his face streaked with tears, his eyes and nose red from crying, making him look pitiful like a frail, sickly little dog. His gaze was downcast, and fresh tears continued to fall from his eyes. Min Zhi’s heart stirred, wanting to reach out and wipe away his tears. But Fang Fengzhi was one step ahead and wiped them away himself.
Min Zhi released him and took a step to the side, distancing himself. “It’s fine.”
abandon that scum and get with this rich ceo daddy!
