After tearing off the freezing patch, Ling Huan endured the tingling sensation on his scalp and installed the individually packaged disposable syringe. The slender needle tip reflected a cold luster.
Ordinary inhibitors had a short duration of action and few side effects. One injection can last for about a week and would only cause obvious fatigue, inattention, muscle weakness and other problems that do not affect one’s life on the day of the injection.
He used an anonymous Star Network account, but the inhibitor purchases were limited, so he could only bought one.
He took an injection before going to bed and he would be back to normal the next morning.
Seven days was just enough time for him to wait for the spiritual inhibitor sent by the system, and then the plot will be back on track.
Ling Huan’s hand holding the syringe shook twice subconsciously. He pulled his collar uncomfortably and felt short of breath.
The symptoms of fear of needles seemed to be more serious than the last time when Tan Ye forced him to had his memory erased.
The stinging sensation came before the needle even touched the skin.
Obviously before he transmigrated into the book, he didn’t even blink when he went to the hospital for an injection.
009’s amicably and considerate inquiry.
【Do you want help to block the pain, Host? 】
Ling Huan quickly agreed, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his wrists, which were taut with veins from the force. It was his first time injecting something like this, and he closed his eyes and recalled the tutorial video he had watched on the purchase interface.
There was a soft “pa” sound next to his ear, and the next second, the back of his trembling hand was cushioned by something warm and fluffy.
The trembling felt much better when his arms had something to lean on.
He opened his eyes and found that Beibei had climbed onto the table at some point and lay down lazily in front of him, just in the right position to support him.
Ling Huan forced himself to curl his lips into a calm smile. The room was extremely quiet. He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but the feeling of being stared at so strongly even overshadowed his fear of needles.
But there was clearly only a cat in the room who knew nothing.
–
The light golden vertical pupils stared at the small piece of needle that pierced the skin.
All the transparent liquid in the syringe was pushed out, and when it was drawn out, some blood was stained because of Ling Huan’s unskilled and rough movements.
Looking at the glaring pinhole on the white wrist, the drooping tail swayed twice and quietly placed on Ling Huan’s arm and rubbed it back and forth twice in a soothing manner.
Ling Huan frowned and threw the used items into the trash can. He touched the gland at the back of his neck and found that it had flattened out and was no longer hot. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, he saw the furry cat head unsophisticatedly leaning against him, staring at the bleeding spot, and even moving forward.
He quickly pushed the cat’s head away and said, “Don’t lick it, Bei Bei be good, it’s just a minor injury. It will heal soon. You don’t have to lick it for me.”
Omega inhibitors were considered medicines. He don’t know if they would be toxic if given to an ordinary kitten like Bei Bei.
When the cat’s head was touched, it immediately stopped moving and stood stiffly, as if reflecting on why it had behaved that way just now.
After rummaging through the drawer and finding a waterproof Band-Aid, Ling Huan put his sleeves down and could clearly felt his left hand starting to feel sore and weak. The physical fatigue was more uncomfortable than the previous loss of spiritual power. He picked up Bei Bei with one hand and put it on the ground.
Lu Jinbei thought Ling Huan didn’t like him standing on the table, so he snorted lightly and jumped to the ground gracefully. Before he could stand firmly, Ling Huan knocked him down and spread him flat on the ground with one hand. The next second, Ling Huan pinched his two paws and looked at them in turn.
He felt a strange touch when his flesh pad was pressed, and he didn’t react for a moment. When Ling Huan was about to see his lower body, he suddenly wake with a start, turned over and stood up quickly. Before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and taken into the bathroom.
Ling Huan spoke to the air and locked the bathroom door, leaving no chance for escape.
“Is Beibei dirty? Where did you run off to during the day? Did you play in the mud? Your paws aren’t dirty. Didn’t you even step on the ground when you went out? Wait until the cat shampoo I bought online arrives tomorrow, then I will give you a bath and trim your nails.”
Feeling the hard cat tail poking his thigh twice, Ling Huan noticed Beibei’s unhappiness and said soothingly, “Ten minutes, just wash you briefly and then we’ll blow dry it, okay?”
Lu Jinbei rushed to the wall the moment he landed, looking at Ling Huan anxiously.
Beast form will always remain extremely clean and does not need to be bathed at all.
Now he can’t tell Ling Huan that he was not actually a wild cat. Ling Huan love cleanliness so much. If he really develop the habit of bathing him, won’t he be caught and bathed often in the future?
When in beast form, he hates water very much.
He get annoyed when he saw it.
Ling Huan locked the door, and Lu Jinbei could only walk back and forth along the white porcelain wall. His tail accidentally rubbed against the fluorescent button on the wall, and the heating lamp on the ceiling of the bathroom turned on with a “beep”.
Ling Huan cried out inwardly, “Oh no!” He had just been squatting and reaching out to beckon at the cat, but now it was too late to stand up, so he could only turn his face away.
The next second, hot water of moderate temperature spurted out directly from the top, forming a dense curtain of water, which soaked him from head to toe without any mercy.
“Jin Beibei[footnote]Raw 金贝贝(Jīn bèi bèi),when has LH gave him a surname too? Why I didn’t know?*laugh cry*[/footnote]!” Ling Huan couldn’t catch the cat, so he just called out the cat’s full name.
He was splashed with wine at the banquet and he should have taken a shower when he got home, but he didn’t have to squeeze in with the cat to take a shower because of not enough time. Now he had no choice as his clothes were all wet.
Beibei, who was leaning against the wall, seemed to realize that he had made a mistake. His legs, which had been running around energetically just now, suddenly stopped moving and he stood there in a daze.
Ling Huan wiped the water off his face, half-knelt on the ground, holding the cat with one hand and touching the button on the wall with the other hand.
The spray-head that was accidentally switch on was immediately turn off.
When a shadow was cast in front of Lu Jinbei, he subconsciously moved his claws back.
He looked at the young man who was approaching him. His lips, which were originally pale due to blood loss, were now stained with water. His pure white shirt was wet and stuck to his body, even outlining the shape of his slender collarbone. His wet hair was casually messed up, but it made his face look even smaller.
Originally Ling Huan has buttoned his shirt carefully to the top button, but it suddenly became useless.
It was more heart-wrenching[footnote]Raw 心脏骤缩(xīnzàng zhòu suō). 心脏; heart, 骤缩; sudden contraction. I guess LJ heart might be crazily ba-bump-ing right now XD[/footnote] than wearing nothing.
Lu Jinbei was forced into a corner by him. When he had no way to retreat, he was dragged into his wet arms. He didn’t know where to put his stiff and suspended claws. Ling Huan reached out and pressed down, and his claws were placed directly on his chest.
The touch from the pads was too sensitive, and coupled with the strong heartbeat, it made him a little dazed.
“Be obedient and don’t run around. We can finish it in ten minutes. If you don’t cooperate, it will take an hour and we won’t be able to wash it properly.” Ling Huan tried to communicate with Beibei, but found that Beibei kept his head down as if admitting his mistake and refused to look at him.
He hooked the cat’s head with his fingertips, and when their eyes met, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly emerged, making Ling Huan’s back tense.
This feeling was fleeting, and before he had time to think about it, Beibei looked away in embarrassment and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Ling Huan didn’t take it seriously. He stood up with the cat in his hand and cleared the sink to use as Beibei’s bathtub. He blocked the drain and filled the sink with water. He gently put Beibei in. Unexpectedly, there was no struggle under his hands. The cat even cooperated and lifted its paws in front of him when he washed it.
Ling Huan felt blood underwater.
Beibei’s wound seemed to have relapsed after he came back from a trip. He bent down slightly and used half of his spiritual power to touch the wound. As soon as the spiritual power came into contact with the wound, it was quickly absorbed.
Ling Huan touched the wound again and found it had healed into a scar.
He tapped Beibei’s head that was tilted up and said, “Don’t run around until your injury is healed.”
Not only did he help Beibei treat his wounds, but the whole process went incredibly smoothly from beginning to end. Ling Huan was relieved and thought that Beibei must have listened to what he had just said.
Standing dripping wet on the dry towel, Lu Jinbei felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if he was wearing clothes and felt particularly heavy. He couldn’t help but shake off the water, most of which splashed onto Ling Huan. His ear was pinched, and Ling Huan’s tone was not very harsh when he lectured him.
“Beibei was behaving so well just now, how come you couldn’t stand until the last? There was candy hidden in the room for Beibei as a reward, but the water shaking just now doesn’t count. If you behave well next time, I’ll get you candy when I go out.”
Lu Jinbei twitched his tail and patted the table in disdain.
Ling Huan really treated him like a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
Still giving candy?
Even if he didn’t hide it, he wouldn’t want such a thing.
His pointed ears were pressed down to prevent water from splashing in. Ling Huan quickly wiped his fur. Lu Jinbei felt a little warm under the light from above. He lowered his eyes and stared at the white towel.
It was completely different from when they met at a party.
Ling Huan’s attitude towards him now can be described as indulgence. Even if he makes a mistake, he will only be pinched on the ear as a punishment.
Lu Jinbei licked his lips subconsciously, and an irrelevant thought suddenly popped up in his mind:
Fortunately, Ling Huan picked him up and took him home that day.
He was only here to monitor Ling Huan and didn’t have any thoughts about the omega. If another alpha was treated like this, Ling Huan would probably be marked before he could even get the inhibitor.
However, as long as the alpha’s spiritual power level was the same as Ling Huan’s, he will be discovered if he keeps silent and pretends to be a cat. Now, in addition to him, there was only one person in the entire empire whose spiritual power was higher than Ling Huan.
That person was still six galaxies away and hasn’t come back yet.
But the Empire does have a small number of wild cats that have escaped and were hiding in various dark alleys.
He don’t know if Ling Huan will be so stupid as to pick up another stray cat next time he meets one. If a stray cat entered the house, will Ling Huan take care of it in the same way?
Ling Huan blew his fur all over his body in a clumsy way, and all the fur on his body was blown backwards. Lu Jinbei smoothed his fur with some displeasure. He heard a slight sound next to his ear. He stopped and turned his head to see Ling Huan taking off his clothes with his back to him, there was a clean bathrobe next to him.
The quiet scent of citrus fruits that filled the narrow space seemed to be spreading and growing. He stared at Ling Huan motionlessly, his clothes slipping off to reveal his thin, fair body.
When his eyes fell on the back of the other person’s neck, he suddenly felt his teeth itching.

Author has something to say:
【Ling Ling: Although the cat at home is very well behaved, but it feels very dangerous as well (?)]
【Beibei: No candy, no bath, don’t touch me! ]
