When Ji Yuezhi was taken by Zuo Luohuan to her residence in the central city, she carried a faint expectation in her heart. For an Omega to live in an Alpha's house, it held a different meaning.
Inside, there weren't many things, only basic furniture and equipment. There were no extra decorations or things for leisure and entertainment. It seemed more like a temporary sleeping place.
Ji Yuezhi wasn't too surprised. She had always been like this, appearing carefree and easy to get along with on the surface, but in reality, she was cold and indifferent. Alphas like Jiang Hong, who had a slightly higher background, could be quite picky at times, but Zuo Luohuan didn't care about anything.
"The bedroom is over there." Zuo Luohuan came in and poured a cup of warm water for Ji Yuezhi before speaking.
They had been busy for so long that by the time they arrived in the central city, the sky was already showing a hint of white.
Ji Yuezhi took the cup of water, took a sip, and then didn't drink anymore. She held it in her hand and followed Zuo Luohuan to the bedroom.
Zuo Luohuan found a clean set of pajamas and placed them by the bed, then reached out and took the cup from Ji Yuezhi's hand. "Don't want to drink?" His lips were a little dry.
"I want to drink cold water, hot." Ji Yuezhi stood opposite Zuo Luohuan, her long eyelashes slightly drooping.
The weather now didn't allow for hot water, and Zuo Luohuan raised his hand to touch her forehead, asking in a low voice, "Is your passion rising again?"
According to the temporary marking, it should last at least two days, but only a few hours had passed.
Ji Yuezhi looked up at her and shook his head for a moment.
"I'll help you pour it, wait here." Zuo Luohuan walked out of the bedroom and stood next to the water dispenser. She glanced at the cup in her hand, tilted her head back, and drank all the warm water in it. Finally, she took a clean cup, poured a glass of cold water, and handed it to Ji Yuezhi.
Ji Yuezhi was very well-behaved when drinking water, holding the glass with both hands and slowly swallowing while tilting his head back.
Zuo Luohuan's gaze fell on the moving Adam's apple as she watched him hold the glass with his slender and clean hands. She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't come back to her senses until Ji Yuezhi finished drinking and handed her the glass.
"You sleep here, I'll be in the living room," Zuo Luohuan said. "If you need anything, just call me."
When Zuo Luohuan was about to leave, Ji Yuezhi couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I have some things to take care of," Zuo Luohuan replied. She occasionally came back to this house, but only stayed in the master bedroom. If she wanted to sleep in the guest room, she had to tidy it up first. She didn't feel like doing that, so she decided to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
Ji Yuezhi watched Zuo Luohuan leave and then looked at the pajamas on the bed. In the end, he decided to change into them and lie down.
The scent of her faint pheromones was still lingering on the sheets. Ji Yuezhi sniffed lightly and his eyebrows and eyes curved up.
...
Zuo Luohuan had nothing to do, so she let her mother know she was safe and lay on the sofa to rest.
The temporary marking was not long ago, and although they were together, there was a door between them. Zuo Luohuan couldn't sleep, but she didn't go in.
In their current state, both of them were naturally attracted to each other by pheromones. Zuo Luohuan didn't want to wait for Ji Yuezhi's heat to pass and the temporary marking to expire, as he might find it difficult to accept what had happened during this time.
Zuo Luohuan wanted to maintain a certain distance between them as much as possible.
However... this matter was obviously not something she could decide alone.
An hour later, Ji Yuezhi came out of the bedroom, and the living room lights automatically turned on. Zuo Luohuan shielded her eyes, sat up, and looked at him in surprise, asking with a slightly groggy voice, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuezhi took a few steps forward and finally sat on the small sofa next to her, whispering, "You sleep, I won't disturb you."
He curled up on the small sofa, looking like he was waiting for her to fall asleep.
Zuo Luohuan was fully awake now and looked at Ji Yuezhi's profile, asking, "Can't you sleep?"
Ji Yuezhi didn't answer, just turned his head slightly, as if avoiding her question, but his actions clearly admitted it.
After the temporary marking, Alpha's protective desire towards Omega surged, and Zuo Luohuan couldn't bear to see Ji Yue so uncomfortable.
She got up and pulled him up: "I'll sleep with you."
Ji Yue was quietly led back into the bedroom by her, obediently lying down as if he wasn't the one who insisted on sitting on the small sofa just now.
Zuo Luohuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him: "Go to sleep."
The Alpha pheromones gradually filled the room, soothing every inch of the exposed skin of the Omega on the bed.
Ji Yue liked the feeling of being wrapped in her pheromones, and his whole body instantly relaxed. The exhaustion brought on by passion surged up, and his eyes were almost closed, but he still wanted to look at Zuo Luohuan.
Zuo Luohuan picked up the remote control and closed the small gap in the curtains. The last bit of light in the room disappeared, and then she reached out and covered his eyes, coaxing him: "Go to sleep."
Ji Yue finally closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes brushed against Zuo Luohuan's palm, causing a tickling sensation.
This tickling sensation seemed to transmit to Zuo Luohuan's heart through her palm, making her feel a little uneasy.
...The power of the temporary marking seems to be a bit too strong.Not long after, the person on the bed fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Zuo Luohuan move his hand away, cover him with the blanket, and sit on the chair next to him without leaving again.
...
When Ji Yue woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon the next day. Zuo Luohuan was sitting next to him, flipping through his laptop. She heard his voice and looked up, asking him, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Although Zuo Luohuan had always skipped classes since she was young, she was always in the top tier of her studies. She could remember all the textbooks very clearly, so she considered herself very qualified to be an Alpha.
During the heat period, Omegas are delicate and sensitive. Alphas should take care of them with the utmost patience and pay attention to their psychological and physiological needs - "Alpha & Omega Health Knowledge."
Zuo Luohuan skipped this class back then, but she had read and remembered every sentence in the textbook. Now she was practicing it very well.
However, she had not heard the health teacher say anything else when discussing this knowledge point: Omegas who have already completed temporary marking still rely on Alphas psychologically, but their consciousness is clear.
Zuo Luohuan got up, took the person to wash up, and took care of Ji Yue with all her patience, fearing that he might feel uncomfortable.
Ji Yue noticed her excessive care and chose to accept it quietly.
The food on the table was all to his taste. Ji Yue ate a few bites and couldn't help but look up.
"Your father sent over a list of your favorite foods." Luo Huanzuo could tell what he wanted to ask, so she spoke directly.
Ji Xiu is currently busy removing all those who participated in the attack on the First Military Academy, but he still specially sent this list to her, which shows how much he cares for Ji Yuezhi.
However, Luo Huanzuo felt that the list Ji Xiu sent was a bit too long. After reading it all in the morning, she found that it not only included Ji Yuezhi's favorite foods, but also various preferences and taboos.
They don't usually interact much, so she really didn't understand. Luo Huanzuo now fully understands how picky he is.
But she doesn't mind. Ji Yuezhi has never shown any difference during competitions and eats the same food as everyone else and rests in the same environment.
"Thank you." Ji Yuezhi got up and was in good condition, but this state only lasted for a day.
On the second evening they stayed in the central city, Ji Yuezhi sat on the balcony reading, resting. The forest of the central city was in the distance, and the balcony had no railing, but a large piece of transparent glass wall. The pheromones were not enough to overflow, and Luo Huanzuo had been accompanying him. The two didn't talk much, only the occasional sound of him flipping through the book.
However, when Luo Huanzuo's pheromones faded a bit, Ji Yuezhi would turn his head and look over. She would then release her pheromones again, enveloping him.
"The dinner we ordered has arrived. I'll go get it, you wait here for a while." Luo Huanzuo heard the doorbell ring and got up to tell Ji Yuezhi.
Ji Yuezhi looked up at Luo Huanzuo under the sunset and whispered, "Come back soon.""Okay." These days, no matter what Ji Yue said, Zuo Luohuan wouldn't use negative words.
Zuo Luohuan went out and got dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he sensed that something was wrong. The sweet and hot scent of iris was in the air.
Ji Yue must be in a passionate state again.
Zuo Luohuan threw the dinner on the table and walked quickly to the balcony. Sure enough, he saw Ji Yue sitting on the chair, the book in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and he was trembling all over.
He looked worse than the first time.
Although Omega in the late separation period would have a harder time than normal Omega, the situation should not get worse.
Zuo Luohuan could only blame An Yingjing's pheromones for Ji Yue's current condition, and his dislike for An Yingjing increased sharply for a while.
An Yingjing, who was recuperating at the First Military Academy, was originally talking to Luo Shaoyuan. Suddenly, he raised his hand and touched his back, feeling like he was being watched.
"Ji Yue." Zuo Luohuan lifted his face and found that it was not as red as he had imagined, but rather pale. "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Ji Yue felt a tearing pain in his posterior cervical gland, and at the same time, a tingling sensation gradually spread from the gland to his limbs. He guessed the reason for his current state, but didn't want to tell the person in front of him.Zuo Luohuan instinctively used pheromones to calm him down, but found that it was not as effective as before. Just as she was about to contact a doctor using her brain, Ji Yuezhi suddenly reached out and stopped her. His face was still pale, but his eyes were moist.
After Ji Yuezhi stopped Zuo Luohuan from using her brain, he leaned towards her and these few movements seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He paused before looking up at her and said, "It's just passion, can you mark me again?"
Originally, Zuo Luohuan brought him back to prevent an unstable temporary marking, so she naturally agreed to mark Ji Yuezhi again.
However, she hesitated for some reason.
Ji Yuezhi was originally kneeling on the ground, but seeing that Zuo Luohuan had not made a move, he stood up and pressed himself against her, emitting the scent of iris that yearned to be marked.
Zuo Luohuan could only hold Ji Yuezhi and gently stroke the gland on the back of his neck. She could sense that the person in her arms was trembling and thought that he was eager to be marked, but she did not know that Ji Yuezhi was enduring the tearing resistance and trembling all over.
Her fingers, with an intimate and soothing meaning, pressed and pressed on the gland. After a while, Zuo Luohuan lowered her head and lightly kissed Ji Yuezhi's gland before biting down without hesitation, pouring her own pheromones into him.
The sweet scent of iris gradually merged with the cold ice and snow, forming a light and pleasant water vapor fragrance. The second temporary marking should be completed here.
The setting sun shone through the glass onto the two people half-kneeling and embracing on the balcony. The Alpha kept kissing the Omega's trembling neck, and everything looked very warm.
In reality, Zuo Luohuan tightened her grip on the person in her arms. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that when she marked Ji Yuezhi just now, his pheromones were faintly emitting a sense of grief and submission.
Normally speaking, Omega's pheromones should show joy and happiness at the moment of being marked and bound, just like when they were temporarily marked for the first time.
