Chapter 205
Shen Shuyu was amused by him. He said, “Fine, if you want to think that way, there’s nothing I can do.”
He stood up, not forgetting that he had to get the inhibitor for Wen Jiafei. However, just as he took a step, a scorching body clung to his back again.
Wen Jiafei embraced him tightly, bowing his back slightly, resting his head on his shoulder again, and whispered, “Where are you going again? I’m about to die, and you still want to leave me?”
Shen Shuyu could feel that Wen Jiafei’s emotions seemed to have stabilized quite a bit. He teased, “Then aren’t you going to let go? I’m going to get you something to save your life.”
Wen Jiafei didn’t listen, nor did he let go.
But wherever Shen Shuyu took a step, he followed.
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help but think—after the injection and Wen Jiafei was completely clear-headed, would he have a breakdown over being like this?
He half-dragged Wen Jiafei to the small refrigerator in the room. He took out the inhibitor for Alphas and a syringe. He said, “Stretch out your hand; I’ll give you a life-extender.”
Wen Jiafei also knew what was in his hand. He obediently freed a hand and stretched it out in front of Shen Shuyu, but his other hand still tightly confined his waist, fearing Shen Shuyu would disappear if he turned around.
Shen Shuyu lowered his head slightly, and after disinfecting for Wen Jiafei, he injected the inhibitor into his body without the slightest hesitation.
After the injection, he felt the weight on his shoulder lighten. He thought Wen Jiafei wanted to let go. Shen Shuyu was about to say something when he felt the gland at his nape being kissed.
His limbs instantly went a bit numb, but he still quickly raised his hand to protect his gland.
The inhibitor would take some time to take effect. Wen Jiafei’s next kiss landed on Shen Shuyu’s palm. He didn’t understand why his Omega wouldn’t agree to let him bite the gland.
Wen Jiafei asked, “Did I do something wrong?”
Before Shen Shuyu could answer, Wen Jiafei spoke rapidly again, “Sorry, I was wrong.”
The speed of admitting his mistake was truly fast.
Shen Shuyu said, “Wait until you’re clear-headed. Let go of me first.”
Wen Jiafei didn’t reply, instead placing kisses one by one on Shen Shuyu’s palm, making the boy’s hand feel itchy. It made him more uncomfortable than the kiss just now.
He finally couldn’t stand it and withdrew his hand. Taking advantage of the fact that the person behind him was focused on the gland, he easily broke free from Wen Jiafei’s embrace.
Wen Jiafei’s eyes turned red again. Shen Shuyu said, “Enough. Your life has been extended. To prevent you from losing your life again, sit in the living room and wait for me.”
Wen Jiafei took a step forward but was stopped by Shen Shuyu’s gaze. “Not listening? If you’re not listening, go back to your own room.”
An Alpha in their rut couldn’t be communicated with using normal logic.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Shuyu said those words, Wen Jiafei didn’t dare to take another step. He only looked at Shen Shuyu expectantly, seemingly hoping he would take back those words.
Shen Shuyu tilted his chin. “Go sit back on the sofa.”
Wen Jiafei asked, “Where are you going?”
Shen Shuyu said, “To take a shower. You sit on the sofa. If I come out later and find you’re not on the sofa, then you go back to your own room.”
Wen Jiafei’s mouth moved, and he said dejectedly, “Okay.”
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The Wen Jiafei in the rut and the usual Wen Jiafei were simply two different people. Why was it that during his own heat, he only felt uncomfortable all over? Why would an Alpha undergo such a drastic change in personality?
The ABO world truly was incomprehensible.
However, he really did need to change his clothes. He had wanted to take a hot shower on his way back earlier, but he’d been interrupted by Wen Jiafei.
Moreover, he also needed a brief moment of private space to organize his thoughts.
He turned and walked toward his bedroom. Looking at the half-ajar bedroom door, he couldn’t help but think—had he not closed the bedroom door when he left?
He took a couple of steps and heard footsteps behind him. Wen Jiafei soon blocked his way, his expression somewhat unnatural, looking even a bit remorseful.
Shen Shuyu looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Wen Jiafei couldn’t say it—or rather, he didn’t dare to.
Shen Shuyu’s gaze passed behind him. He raised an eyebrow slightly, then quickly bypassed Wen Jiafei and walked toward his bedroom.
The bedroom light was turned on. Shen Shuyu stood at the door and scanned his bedroom. There was nothing out of place, except for his wardrobe—the doors were wide open.
Shen Shuyu walked over and opened the wardrobe fully, only to see that the clothes inside were a bit messy, as if they had been hurriedly hung back up.
Without thinking, he knew who had done it.
Looking at the somewhat messy wardrobe, Shen Shuyu recalled what the textbooks said—during an Alpha’s rut, if their Omega isn’t by their side, they will search for places their Omega has been. In other words, places with the strongest concentration of the Omega’s pheromones.
Evidently, it was the wardrobe. Although the clothes inside had been washed, Shen Shuyu wore them frequently, so the pheromones had long since clung to them; it was just a matter of concentration.
He took out a set of clean clothes and turned around to see Wen Jiafei standing a bit nervously at the door, not daring to enter.
He also knew that doing such a thing was a bit much, but he really hadn’t been able to help himself just now. He missed Shen Shuyu too much.
Yet Shen Shuyu wouldn’t return.
He didn’t even know how long he had been waiting here.
Shen Shuyu approached with the clothes. “Go wait for me at the sofa.”
Wen Jiafei murmured, “Sorry.”
He was now like a puppy that had torn up the house, looking cautiously at its master, wondering if he could escape successfully.
But evidently, Shen Shuyu was a soft-hearted master.
Shen Shuyu stepped forward and pinched his cheek. “I don’t blame you. Go to the sofa first.”
Not only was he soft-hearted, but he was also willing to coax him.
Wen Jiafei’s mood improved quite a bit. This time, he really went to the sofa and sat down obediently.
He now had enough of a sense of security. Briefly being unable to see Shen Shuyu was something he could endure.
Shen Shuyu looked at him, let out a breath, closed the bedroom door, and walked toward the bathroom with the clean clothes.
By the time he came out, the effect of the inhibitor should have mostly kicked in.
He would sit down and have a proper talk with Wen Jiafei then.
After all, there was more than one thing to be done tonight.
