City K in June is always hot and dry, even in the shade, you can still feel the heat floating in the air.
Walking passers-by carry the smell of pheromones emitted by sweat. In crowded places, various smells enter the nasal cavity, which makes people feel annoyed and bored.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital overwhelms the smell of most pheromones, and there are often pheromone cleaners in the corridors and aisles that are regularly cleaned.
People who walk outdoors are not so happy.
Some media once did an interview with Alpha and Omega, asking them about their favorite and most hated seasons.
Among them, summer has become the least favorite season for AO people—
Their vomeronasal organs always allow them to smell too much pheromone scent this season.
Imagine that some people's pheromone smell is related to plants, and some people's pheromone smell is related to food... In the hot and dry season, the flood of body fluids leaks pheromones, and the molecular mixture is transmitted infinitely in the air. The smell of the seafood market is even worse, which is really a headache.
The Beta population does not have the natural gender advantage of AO, but they naturally have many conveniences that AO cannot enjoy: they are not affected by febrile and susceptible periods, they are born with physiology, and they will not suffer from headaches and nausea due to the unpleasant smell of pheromones.
Every summer, Song Yi is very envious of his parents and brother.
Her glands were undifferentiated before the age of eighteen, and like all Betas, she travels calmly in the summer without fear of those scents she can't smell.
After the split, her summer became a bit difficult.
The turbid pheromone smell that flowed into the car from the car window swirled in front of her nasal cavity. She resisted the urge to sneeze, found the nasal spray placed in the car, and sprayed it a few times.
This made her feel comfortable.
The waiting time at traffic lights is as long as 180 seconds.
Song Yi raised the car window, and she calmly glanced at the mobile phone aside.
The GPS positioning location is the No. 1 Hospital of K City.
The destination is about ten minutes away by car.
She was driving from Linhai University in a hurry, because she heard the panic in Pei Qingmian's tone during the call, and she was worried that something happened to him.
Inquiring about the location, Song Yi's heart skipped a beat when he learned that others were in the hospital.
-Hospital.
Is he sick
The worst situation Song Yi could think of was that Pei Qingmian fell ill, but after thinking about it, she thought it shouldn't be.
They have given each other physical examination sheets, and they have a clear understanding of each other's physical health.
But if there is a sudden serious illness...
Song Yi's heart kept beating faster than usual, and the expression on her face did not reveal nervousness, and her tone was still calm when she was talking to the communication that had been kept in touch by the side.
"Ten minutes to go, have you eaten today?"
"..." Pei Qingmian's voice was dry, he hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "No."
Song Yi: "Okay, then I'll take you to dinner later."
"There is a delicious restaurant near the hospital. Song Chen recommended it to me before, but I haven't been there yet."
Her tone was too ordinary, as if the couple were talking homely, the topic was jumping but warm.
Pei Qingmian could even notice that when Song Yi spoke, the end of his voice always rose slightly, appearing relaxed. This comforted him greatly.
He should be fine.
Ten minutes later, Song Yi successfully found Pei Qingmian in the parking lot of K City No. 1 Hospital.
Song Yi got out of the car, tapped lightly on the glass window of the co-pilot, and saw Pei Qing frantically pressing the lock button.
The doors are unlocked.
Song Yi sat in the passenger seat first, and at the same time stretched out his hand to caress his forehead.
Pei Qingmian was dazed, he blinked blankly, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"The body temperature is a bit low, you don't wear enough clothes today." He is wearing a normal suit today, with loose off-white short sleeves, revealing smooth arms. s position.
Half of the collarbone is exposed, the young man has a well-trained figure, and the exposed skin is glowing with health.
Song Yi glanced calmly, and then again.
Then, she looked at him silently, with a smile in her eyes.
Pei Qingmian: "..."
He stammered: "It's summer now."
Is it enough to wear long sleeves
His rhythm was disrupted by Song Yi, and what he wanted to say before was buried in this moment of dumbfounding. He showed a helpless smile: "Mr. Song, aren't you also wearing a short skirt?"
Song Yi held his face and hummed softly.
Pei Qingmian's goosebumps came back.
No matter how dull he is, he can still feel that she is doing bad things now—the kind that is super open and aboveboard, his forehead that has been caressed, his exposed skin, it seems that invisible hands are rubbing his own scent hard in his body.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Song Yi's words, and his heart felt like falling into a cold pool——
"My smell on you has faded."
"really weird."
Pei Qingmian's face turned pale. His cheeks, which were originally pink because of Song Yi's forehead strokes, were now pitifully pale.
He lightly fiddled with the restraining ring on his neck, the glands at the back of the neck were slightly swollen, and he caressed the surface of the restraining ring absently.
The style of the military suppression ring is too ordinary, but it is very effective in suppressing the emission of pheromone, at least 30% stronger than the ones sold on the market.
He wondered if Song Yi could smell his pheromone.
If he could smell it, his glandular mood must be very bad at this moment.
Song Yi did feel that Pei Qingmian's mood was depressed for a moment. She didn't move her hand holding her chin, and the other hand quietly closed the free hand he put aside when he was absent-minded.
Interlocking fingers.
Her fingertips were slightly cool, but her palm was warm.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Qingmian felt that her hands were "captured" and wrapped around them possessively. Her fingers were slender and soft, with only a little callus on the fingertips. Unlike him, during training in the military academy, his palms were scarred and rough to the touch.
Pei Qingmian exhaled forcefully.
Then, he untied his restraining ring with one hand.
The windows in the car have already been raised, and the act of unfastening the restraint ring does not count as "not wearing the restraint ring in public".
It was just the two of them in the car.
Alpha watched his actions gently until he took off the restraining ring and put it aside, his expression changed from "curious" to "confused".
She leaned her upper body up to the back of Pei Qingmian's neck, and rested her chin on his shoulder. Every part of his body fits her, the chin rests lightly, the touch is soft, the short sleeves are loose, his chest is rising and falling slightly, and she can slightly see the part of him hidden under the clothes.
Warm skin, delicate and ambiguous actions, and Pei Qingmian couldn't think of the deep meaning behind Song Yi's actions that he was eating his tofu.
He just moved and showed Song Yi his glands.
Pei Qingmian thought that as soon as she saw his glands, she must have understood that there was something wrong with him.
Her body temperature was against his skin, and her breath was gentle and tender.
Quietly and bewildered, she sniffed very hard, like a canine. He sniffed and muttered in a low voice, showing a rare look of depression.
"Eh?"
"Where's my mark?"
Then, the hands were thrown away.
She let go of the palms with interlocking fingers without any hesitation.
Pei Qingmian's heart seemed to be soaked in sour plum soup, his mood suddenly became sour, and the taste of cream also became sour—Song Yi later thought that his smell at this time was especially like sour cream.
Although tart, sour cream is also delicious in her recipe.
Pei Qingmian's fingers moved a little, as if he was still reminiscing about the intimacy just now.
There seemed to be a thin layer of fog in front of his eyes - he didn't cry, but his emotions were so sad that his vision began to blur.
When I let go of my hand, the warm touch seemed to be still there.
Immediately afterwards, Song Yi straightened up, and with a muffled tone, she locked eyes on the back of Pei Qingmian's neck.
Gestures:
"Me, where's my gland mark?"
Continue to gesture.
"Where's I—that big mark?"
"… baby?"
Pei Qingmian let out a low humming sound from his throat, and the milk cat could not even purr as softly as he did.
"... That's what you see."
"there is none left."
Pei Qingmian was in a low mood, so she didn't notice that Song Yi's expression at this moment was extremely rare. She was dazed and confused, and a little annoyed that Alpha's natural possession was taken away, and she stared at his back very depressed. neck.
"are you sick?"
Song Yi quickly realized that what was wrong with him today was related to the glands in the back of his neck.
She asked, and her fingers climbed up the back of his neck again, with a look of not giving up without staring at one, two, three, four.
The glands are very sensitive, usually only the suppression ring is covered, and her fingertips are slightly cool, once she puts them on, it feels like an electric current is passing through his spine.
There was a chill.
There is an illusion of internal organs being touched.
Frank and straightforward, as if showing himself naked in front of her.
Pei Qingmian: "Look at the results of my visit to the hospital today."
He handed Song Yi the report of today's medical results.
Song Yi glanced at him for a long time, and she realized that his mood had become depressed, which was also a little sad.
—Why grieve? Is it a serious illness
Song Yi was nervous for a while, but she didn't show it, but quickly read this thin medical result.
Inside the car, the smell of pheromones rolled and flooded.
Omgea without the suppression ring has a sweet and rich creamy fragrance, which becomes sour because of being too depressed.
Her pheromone is an elegant and elegant floral fragrance, light and clear, the restraint ring is strictly worn, only a little leaked out.
This floral aroma is mingled in the sour cream.
The flavor is fantastic.
Song Yi's mood slowly sank from the first word of the doctor's handwritten diagnosis to the last word.
Her fingertips landed on the [Gland Pheromone Peak], and she looked at it for a long time, trying to think about the meaning of the words.
There are too many technical terms, but fortunately, the doctor's final diagnosis uses everyday language that ordinary people can understand.
She looked at the diagnosis report for too long, making Pei Qingmian a little anxious.
Pei Qing thought with a wry smile - sure enough, he knew.
No Alpha can accept it, and their own Omega glands cannot store TA's pheromone.
The most stable connection of AO's partner, he is destined not to have it permanently in this life.
His vomeronasal organ was underdeveloped, but he guessed that Song Yi's pheromone must be rolling and roaring with displeasure.
His throat seemed to be clogged with lead, heavy, and he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to interrupt such an awkward atmosphere.
…
"Cannot be fully marked permanently."
Song Yi read the words on the diagnosis report with a serious tone, and she tapped the page with her fingertips.
Then, lift your face.
She has a cold and magnificent face with a beautiful outline, taking the best part of her parents, and she is beautifully carved.
The voice is also the best that Pei Qingmian has ever heard.
Whether it was calling his name with a smile, or humming lazily, or at this moment, saying something that might break his heart.
They all sound good.
"Does that mean—"
Pei Qingmian looked at her quietly and sadly.
No Alpha can accept his own Omega partner, and after being fully marked, the pheromone of Ta cannot be retained in the gland.
Complete marking disappears, which means that the connection of AO disappears.
Their marriage was built on the full mark of AO.
And relationship breakdown...is also based on the loss of connection.
"Do I need to re-knot and bite mark again to fully mark you again?"
"..."
"Huh? Didn't the doctor say it? In this case, can the partner repeat the previous complete marking steps?"
His hands were closed again.
This time, fingers crossed.
She shook his hand easily, motioning him to answer quickly: "Qing Mian?"
"..."
Pei Qingmian stared at her with round eyes.
His mind was confused, he didn't know what to say, and then tremblingly said: "Should?"
Song Yi nodded calmly, indicating that he heard it.
Her tone was sparse and ordinary, not like an Alpha, not like an Alpha who knew that her partner Omega had lost her mark.
"Okay, let's go to the room after dinner."
As he said that, he was still a little embarrassed: "The house we looked at before will be handed over in a few days, and then we will go buy furniture together."
"..."
"..."
Pei Qingmian fell into silence.
He slowly repeated what Song Yi said: "Shall we go to the room after dinner?"
"Well, open the room." She seemed to be talking about what to eat today, without any fluctuations in her tone.
Song Yi scratched the palm of his hand with his fingertips, like a dandelion flitting across the grass, leaving a little itchy hair.
"Now, let's go eat, I'm hungry."
"You must be hungry too."
Jogging the tablet in the car, Song Yi jogged the screen to locate the restaurant, then let go of his hand and said to him, "You drive."
Pei Qingmian looked at her, the lead in her throat disappeared, and the smell of sour cream in the air became a little sweet.
Song Yi pretended not to notice, she said: "By the way, before driving, I will bite you."
"..."
After finishing speaking, before Pei Qingmian could react, she leaned over and took a bite of the gland at the back of his neck.
She wasn't content until the pheromones were pumped into her glands.
The pain in the back of the neck brought Pei Qingmian back to his senses, his face was flushed red, the whole car was filled with her pheromones, and his body was also full of her smell.
Shaking his hands, he silently put the suppression ring back on his neck.
Fire up, drive, and get to the restaurant with no hassle.
Eat, check out, and open a room at the next destination.
Hotels, guesthouses, Song Yi picked a five-star one.
Until it is marked once completely by repeating.
When Pei Qingmian was forming a knot in his body, she was bitten hard by her at the same time.
He raised his arms to cover his pink eyelids, and muttered softly, "It hurts."
Song Yi hummed softly twice: "I'm sorry."
Her long hair brushed his face, and then kissed him very tenderly: "But I will dare next time."
