Before My Withering

Chapter 17

Zhou Chen said that he would come back in a week, but it was only two days, and I was so bored that I had to rely on TV to pass the time.

After switching channels, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the TV.

Qi Shu...

His appearance has not changed, the whole person is as cold as ice, I don't know if it is an illusion, but he still looks a little tired.

Qi Shu was holding a press conference for the company. I didn't understand a few words, but seeing the gloomy looks of the directors next to me, it shouldn't be a good thing.

It dawned on me that I hadn't seen him for more than a month, save for the last quick glimpse.

Zhou Chen said that the desensitization treatment should be done step by step. I didn't make it difficult for myself and turned off the TV before the more intense discomfort came.

The phone rings just right.

"Xiaoyu, are you with Brother Shen?" Xu Xingze's voice sounded a little anxious.

"no, what happened?"

"I know why Qi Shu made his old man angry. He rejected the engagement without authorization and refused to marry Wen Ziqing. I didn't think that Wen Ziqing was a good one, so I asked two people to stare at him. The news said that he went to Brother Shen's home in the city alone. I couldn't get through to Brother Shen... Damn, what does this Wen guy want to do?"

After Xu Xingze finished speaking, I suddenly thought of a very serious matter.

Zhou Chen is in the susceptible period...

"Do you know the address of Mr. Zhou's house? I'll go there now."

"Yes, I'll send it to you. Don't worry, I'll be there right away, you go and wait for me first."

I received the address from Xu Xingze, called the driver and went out.

On the way, I thought about countless possibilities. The worst thing was that Zhou Chen got out of control and marked Wen Ziqing. In that case, his relationship with Qi Shu would be completely over.

The road was empty at night, and the driver was urged by me to drive the car out of the helicopter posture, and arrived at the apartment downstairs in half an hour. This should be Zhou Chen's usual residence. It is too remote in the sunset, and it is not very convenient to go to work or go out.

The privacy of the apartment is very good, one elevator for one household, and I smelled a strong peach fragrance as soon as I got out of the elevator.

...Damn it, why do you always run into this kind of scene.

The door of Zhou Chen's house was ajar, and the living room was not lit.

After all, he's not Qi Shu, I can't go straight into the bedroom, and was about to knock on the door, when a low voice came from the corner: "Xiao Yu."

I just noticed someone sitting in the shadows.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Chen's voice was hoarse than usual, and through the moonlight outside, I saw a few strands of his hair hanging on his forehead, and his clothes were a little messy.

"Come on," he said.

I sensed an unusual tinge of danger, but it passed.

"Are you OK?"

Although there is a lot of pheromone floating in the air, there is no smell of passion/desire. It seems that nothing has happened yet.

He didn't answer my question, but said, "Is it cold without a coat?"

The nights in early summer were still a bit cold, I was in a hurry to go out, I was still wearing home clothes, and I almost forgot to change my shoes.

"not cold."

He frowned, "Lie." After speaking, he pulled the thin blanket next to me and draped it over my body, and sighed vaguely: "Do you know how dangerous an alpha in the susceptible period is? How dare you be alone? Someone ran over?"

"I'm worried about you... and you won't hurt me..." I remembered the business and asked him, "Where's Wen Ziqing?"

He said lightly: "The bedroom."

I squatted down, only to notice that Zhou Chen's complexion was not very good-looking, his skin was much paler than usual, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What's wrong with you, are you okay?" I felt bad and didn't know what to do.

He shook his head, raised his hand to stroke my hair, and said, "I'm fine, you can go back."

"I do not… "

"I will be bad if you are here."

His gaze is like an intricate web.

I seemed to understand what he meant, but I didn't seem to understand.

"But I'm a beta..."

"Pheromones don't dictate everything."

I would have doubted this sentence before, but now I believe it. It has never been heard that an alpha in the susceptible period can be indifferent to such a high concentration of omega pheromones, Zhou Shen did it.

From this point of view, he is simply terrible.

"If you don't leave, I may really do something that I regret." His voice was low and deep, but clear.

I'm not an innocent little white rabbit, I know what he's referring to.

At this time, I finally discerned a different smell from the omega pheromones in the room.

——From Zhou Shen, the smell of scorching brandy.

I didn't expect that such a restrained and rational person like him would have such a strong smell.

I smell only a little, as if already intoxicated.

"Why do you say you will regret it?"

—Because I'm not clean, because I'm not his ideal bed partner, or because I don't want to cause other troubles

But he just looked at me and said, "Because it will hurt you."

Just after finishing speaking, there was a bang at the door, and Xu Xingze broke in with two bodyguards.

"Brother Shen!"

"...Damn, what's the smell..."

"Are you all right?"

While speaking, he rushed in and opened all the windows in the living room, then saw Zhou Chen stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "You... susceptible period?"

Zhou Chen nodded.

Xu Xingze was stunned, and squeezed out two words after a long while: "... amazing."

"He's in the bedroom, I've knocked him out, help me get him away." Zhou Chen said calmly.

Knocked out? He knocked Wen Ziqing out

Xu Xingze was completely speechless. He called the two beta bodyguards to find someone in the bedroom, took out a bottle of barrier agent and sprayed it a few times, and asked from a distance, "I won't make you uncomfortable, will I?"

It is said that alphas in the susceptible stage are naturally hostile to their own kind, and violent incidents may occur at any time when they are in the same room.

I don't know what other alphas look like, but Zhou Chen hasn't shown any abnormality so far.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay."

The bodyguard lifted Wen Ziqing out, and the pheromone that had finally dissipated in the living room became thicker again. He was already awake, his eyes were half-opened, but when he saw me, his eyes suddenly froze, and he smiled coldly: "... no wonder."

No wonder why? Before I could ask, he was dragged out.

Xu Xingze had one head and two big ones, "What should we do now?"

"Find a hotel to accommodate him, and I will notify Qi Shu." Zhou Chen said.

Xu Xingze looked at me again, "Xiaoyu, you..."

"I'll stay."

"Alright..." He thought for a while and agreed, "Brother Shen is in the susceptible period, it's not convenient for me to be here, take care of him, and call me anytime you need anything."

After Xu Xingze left, there were only the two of us left in the living room.

Looking at each other in silence, I saw in Zhou Chen's eyes extreme forbearance and struggle on the verge of losing control.

"Why are you disobedient?" He asked hoarsely.

When I said the word "stay", I had already thought about the possible consequences. It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

I still can't confirm Zhou Chen's purpose for saving me and taking care of me. I'm afraid it's what I think, and I hope it's what I think.

I hope there is no love. Love, so that I can be less burdened.

"You don't have to bear it..." I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

His eyes darkened again, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"You saved me, I have nothing to repay you... it's just me, I'm not that clean, if you don't dislike me, I..."

"Xiao Yu." Zhou Chen's eyes were frighteningly red, he looked at me and asked word by word: "What do you take yourself for, and what do you take me for?"
