June twenty-first. Linhai University.
Song Yi could have taken her wedding leave directly, but because she just had to send invitations to her colleagues, and because there was only today's class these days, she didn't go through the process of asking for leave.
There is eight one class in the morning, and the end of class is only nine o'clock.
When she returned to the office, the colleagues in the office nodded at her. On the desk in the office, Song Yi saw an envelope on her desk.
She reached out and pinched the edge of the envelope, but didn't open it immediately.
A colleague noticed, and she joked, "When I came to work today, I saw this envelope on your desk. Could it be someone who wrote you a love letter?"
Song Yi smiled at her colleague, she didn't say much, she just put down her bag first - she carried a rare lady's bag today, the size is right, suitable for holding wedding invitations.
She placed the invitations on their desks one by one, and at the same time received a few warm wishes.
The wedding date on the invitation is June 23rd.
She sat back in her seat and opened the letter on her desk.
The plain white envelope smelled of pheromones when it was opened. Song Yi frowned, shook the letter paper with his breath, and saw the words on it.
... love letters.
As expected.
Before entering the Linhai University system as a university teacher, Song Yi had been pursued by many people during her undergraduate and postgraduate years.
Song Yi attributes her "being pursued" to her glandular rank.
A 3S level gland means that as long as she wants, no Omega will not be weak for it.
Once an Alpha with a strong gland level leaks its pheromone, Beta is also easily affected.
Because Alpha's glandular pheromones have varying degrees of influence on humans of the other two genders, the law has long stipulated that Alpha must wear suppression rings, suppression stickers and other tools to cover up glandular pheromones in public.
With the development of society so far, it has become commonplace for Alpha and Omega to have an inhibition ring when they go out.
Before Song Yi differentiated, he had seen too many triumphant people who differentiated into Alpha. In order to show their Alpha demeanor, they deliberately leaked their pheromones in public.
Whether it is intended to fascinate Omega or intimidate Beta, this is a very low-handed and indecent act.
She is extremely incomprehensible to this kind of behavior of "attempting to exert sexual charm".
After the second gender differentiation, in public, she will always buckle the suppression ring, and just in case, she will wear one or two suppression patches on her body.
In the car that is often driven, the inhibitor will also be placed.
However, even so, the natural 3S strength is still difficult to control the pheromone spilling out of the earth under the influence of the suppression ring.
weak. But because of the gland level, the influence is very strong.
In many cases, the influence of pheromones on others is subtle.
Song Yi has received many love letters, and this is not the first one she has received as a university teacher.
In the work mailbox, there are still many records of students sending confession emails. Fortunately, after she told the students that she was about to get married, these messages stopped flooding.
The strong aroma of coffee wafted through the air, and the colleague at the desk next door was making an instant espresso, and her thoughts jumped from the love letter in front of her eyes to the coffee—
Didn't know that Pei Qingmian was used to drinking coffee? She is going to buy a fully automatic coffee machine at home. I don't know if he has a favorite brand.
This point was silently remembered, Song Yi's movement of pulling the letter paper rustled, she let out a soft breath, and turned to the front of the letter paper.
Not signed.
The content is similar to the love letters she received in the past, analyzing the confessor's love for her and love for her...
And in the end, after learning that she was going to get married, after being sad, he plucked up the courage to confess.
With the letter paper in front of him, Song Yi couldn't help but sneezed.
The colleague looked over in surprise: "What's the matter? I have a cold during the dog days?"
Song Yi pressed the bridge of her nose, and she replied sullenly: "The smell is too choking."
My colleague, Beta, was puzzled by her answer, but she still said, "You can open a window. There seems to be no smog today, and the air is quite clean."
"If you have a cold, remember to take medicine."
Song Yi rubbed her nose. She pinched the letter with her fingertips and carefully stuffed it back into the envelope.
During this period, the pheromone on the letter paper made her sneeze again.
Inexplicably, a strange grievance flooded her heart.
Song Yi thought calmly with a blank face: She doesn't like this smell.
She likes the creaminess.
… Well, want to stay with her creamy taste, at least until after the wedding.
She is already in the process of purchasing a house, and she will be able to live in their house in a few days. On the wedding day, they can live in a suite at the wedding hotel—
Getting married is such an amazing thing.
Song Yi suddenly thought of this.
In her previous life - the distant previous life, plus this life, Pei Qingmian was her first partner.
By accident, she had him, a young and good-looking male Omega, a beautiful man one year younger than her.
Pei Qingmian has a bright and vivid smile face, she doesn't seem to have told him personally, when he smiles, his teeth are very white and neat, his lips are light red, he looks very eager to kiss.
She was sure she hadn't said it.
But it doesn't matter, she will have a chance to talk about it later.
Song Yi lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Fei Buyu, who had just returned from the tea room, was holding a thermos cup. He hadn't fully entered the office when he saw the bright red invitation card on his desk from a distance. He raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and smelled the air in the next second. It belongs to the breath of Alpha.
Very light. Very present.
He knows that among his young colleagues, Alpha Song Yi abides by the etiquette requirements of Alphas in public, and is always a gentleman who wears the restraint ring politely. Say, the office is not a public place.
Holding his breath, Fei Buyu tiptoed back to his desk with the thermos in hand. The well-developed vomeronasal organ let him smell Song Yi's pheromones, and he felt a jumping joy—very light and shallow, but he couldn't ignore it. .
For a colleague who is not familiar with Omega, being able to smell the emotions of Song Yi's glandular pheromones means that at this moment, Song Yi's emotions are very strong and full.
Open the invitation, with the name of the wedding partner, the wedding venue, and the names of the invited relatives and friends written on it with a pen.
Hit by the glandular emotion flooding the air, he shook his head and laughed.
Turning his head and said loudly to Song Yi: "Teacher Song."
The young Teacher Song looked at him with a moment of blankness on his indifferent face, "Please tell me."
"Happy newlyweds to you again."
"..." Teacher Song was stunned for a moment, then she laughed.
"thanks."

Pei Qingmian asked for leave with her boss before the wedding.
During this period, he went to the hospital for an examination, and after learning that his glands could not be permanently marked, he took a set of comprehensive glandular examinations under the doctor's advice.
Different from the dipstick test, it takes 2 hours for the comprehensive test of the gland department to get the analysis result.
Pei Qingmian sat on a bench in the hospital and received a message from a colleague.
Dispatched from the Eastern Region Military Department to the Linhai Research Institute, and with colleagues in the Western Region Military Department to carry out confidential projects, their superiors even set up a group, usually in the group to order barbecue, milk tea, chat and gossip, all in this group .
Di Nieyun @ him: [Pei Pei, where are you? Just now, XX was treating guests to some milk tea, and the milk tea was put on the table for you, and I didn’t see you.]
Pei Qingmian replied in the group: [I'm on leave.]
Liu Cheng soon appeared: [Xiao Pei got married the day after tomorrow, I asked him to take leave of absence to attend to business.]
The group chatted lively about Pei Qingmian's getting married, and many bachelors and girls wailed that they wanted to get married too.
Among the soldiers, Pei Qingmian was considered to be the youngest one.
His colleagues are basically in their early twenties, because they have been in the army all year round, and they rarely have the opportunity to meet suitable partners.
It's no wonder that seeing colleagues get married, I feel envious for a while.
This is not working time, so Pei Qingmian saw Liu Cheng speaking in the group:
"I will chat with the single teachers in Linhai when I have free time, and then I will organize a blind date for you."
"Stop howling, and continue working after eating and drinking."
As soon as the boss spoke, single people had hope, and emoticons flew into the sky one by one.
Pei Qingmian looked at the phone screen, smiled, and quickly restrained himself.
He sent a smiling gif with the crowd, then turned off his phone, sat quietly on the bench, and waited for the result.
Two hours of waiting.
The result was almost the same as the previous doctor's diagnosis.
The doctor raised his glasses and said to him very gently: "I read your physical examination report during the differentiation period. At that time, a doctor told you that your vomeronasal organ is not mature enough, right?"
Pei Qingmian has always kept his back straight from the time he went to the hospital for diagnosis to the two-hour wait - a soldier's habit, maybe because of the long time, he felt his back hurt a little.
He calmly took a breath.
Then, he nodded: "Yes, my glands differentiated late, and before the differentiation, the glands didn't have any indicators that Omega should have."
"At that time, my parents thought I would differentiate into Beta."
The doctor nodded, and he briefly told him the result: "Your vomeronasal organ is not mature enough, it is relatively slow, and this is also related to your glands."
"The results of the test show that your glands cannot permanently retain other people's pheromones."
"No Alpha can permanently mark you."
— That is to say, at this moment, the pheromones belonging to Song Yi in him... have disappeared.
Pei Qingmian listened blankly, he didn't know what to respond or what to say.
Even, what he said to the doctor when he came to the hospital for an interview with the glands, said that he was completely marked by his partner—
It's all like a joke.
A complete joke.
In the end, the doctor gave him a suggestion like this: "The probability of one in ten million will appear on you, sometimes it does not mean that it is a bad thing."
"I know it's not nice to say this, but the divorce rate is so high now, Omega wants to divorce Alpha, and the damage of removing the complete marking operation is so great..."
"Maybe a gland like yours is a good thing?"
The doctor obviously knew that saying this to an Omega who had a partner was simply trying to provoke the relationship between the other partner.
But for this one-in-ten-million probability patient, he can only say such comforting words.
Pei Qingmian was not angry because of the doctor's words, he knew that the Omega doctor in front of him was out of good intentions, trying to make him not feel too psychologically burdened.
But, he thought, none of them knew.
They didn't know that his marriage with Song Yi started with an accident, when she said she was responsible.
If, he meant if, Song Yi knew that she didn't have to be responsible at all—even if he was completely marked, he would automatically metabolize the alpha pheromone after a while, and become a "single omega" person again.
So.
Their marriage was triggered by an accident.
Is this the end
Pei Qingmian didn't know what he looked like now, but he thought it must be very bad.
He walked out of the hospital with the hospital report. When he arrived at the parking lot, he could feel the eyes of passers-by around him. Finally, a Ms. Beta came up to him kindly and asked him, "Sir, are you hypoglycemic?"
With a pale face, Pei Qingmian forced a smile at the kind passerby.
He shook his head and said he was fine, and said thank you.
It wasn't until he sat in the car that he let out a long breath.
The fingers that gripped the phone loosened, Pei Qingmian found [Song Yi]'s phone number.
He slowly rubbed the screen of the phone, finally closed his eyes, and dialed the phone.
After a few seconds of waiting, the beep sound was mechanical and steady, as rigid and smooth as a zebra crossing on the road.
"Qing Mian?" The soft and elegant voice came from the microphone, and there was a faint smile in her voice.
"Yeah." Pei Qingmian seemed to have a piece of cotton in his throat, and he responded in a low voice. He remembered Song Yi's pheromone, and couldn't help raising his other hand, trying to sniff what might be left on his body. smell.
In the rearview mirror of the car, an extremely embarrassed young man O was seen.
He has a face that seems too handsome for a male Omega. He is dressed in ordinary clothes, with drooping eyelashes and pale lips.
Sitting in the driver's seat, he held the phone in one hand and raised the other, trying to sniff his wrist like a stupid dog.
His vomeronasal organ is too underdeveloped, even if he tries hard, it is difficult to smell the pheromone smell on his body.
Finally, he gave up in despair.
There was an unpleasant rubbing sound between the hanging wrist and the leather pad.
"What's wrong?"
Song Yi on the other end seemed to have noticed something, and her voice became tighter.
With great difficulty, Pei Qingmian said in a low voice, "Teacher Song."
They haven't known each other for a long time. After the Song and Pei families met, he realized that the Song family had always called Song Yi by name and surname.
He always felt that calling her by name and surname was not special enough, so in private, he would call her "Teacher Song".
The words "Teacher Song" slid out of his throat, and Pei Qingmian realized that his emotions were so sour. He was silent for a few seconds, remembering that they went to see the house together yesterday and picked the one with the big balcony.
The house with the big balcony is really nice.
He really likes it.
…
His thoughts only turned for a few seconds, he thought about his words, and wanted to say that he came to the hospital's gland department for a test today, what was the result——
However, before he could say it, he heard her interrupt him in a very calm way:
"Wait, where are you now?"
Pei Qingmian's emotions were suddenly stuck here.
He subconsciously looked at the hospital building outside the parking lot, "K City No. 1 Hospital."
"You drove today, didn't you? Just park in the parking lot and don't drive. If you have something to talk about, we can talk about it later."
The background sound on Song Yi's side seemed to have changed. He heard a strange voice from a stranger: "Mr. Song, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Song Yi seemed to answer a sentence or two, maybe not, anyway, Pei Qingmian heard Song Yi's voice coming from the microphone steadily and calmly.
Like a tranquilizer, it instantly soothed him.
"I want you to stop driving and just park in the hospital parking lot, you can do that, right?"
Pei Qingmian's goosebumps came up - not the kind of panicked goosebumps, but the slight shudder that he felt from the bottom of his heart when he was ordered by someone more powerful than him.
He suddenly realized: What she said now was the same as when they first met, he forcibly opened her car door, and she was not allowed to drive in violation of traffic laws because she had drunk alcohol, so she asked him, who was in a fever, if he could drive When I went to the community hospital, I said exactly the same thing.
And his answer at the time was:
"… I'll try."
This time, his answer was different.
Pei Qingmian tapped his forehead lightly on the steering wheel, and he replied in a low but reassuring voice:
"Okay, I don't drive."
"I'm waiting for you."
The communication between her and him has not been turned off, and then he heard a chuckle, which was very pleasant and soothing. It's like walking by the lake in the hot summer and enjoying the cool lake breeze at that moment.
"Well, be good."
