Chapter 110: Make You Call Me Brother (30)
An Alpha’s state during their susceptibility period is extremely delicate.
In their eyes, there is no one else in the world but their partner.
They cannot hear external sounds or perceive external events.
It’s as if they are sealed within their own tiny world, and only someone whose pheromones perfectly align with theirs can step into that world, bringing them immense comfort and solace.
Their perception of hunger and pain becomes sluggish; they only know how to demand and take without restraint.
When Xiao Ji emerged from this state before Gu Yinnian, Gu Yinnian was still thoroughly immersed and unable to extract himself.
Even when doing nothing, he wouldn’t allow Xiao Ji to leave his side for even half a step.
The sight of bruises covering Gu Yinnian’s body made even Xiao Ji’s temples throb uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of the time Gu Yinnian was asleep, Xiao Ji charged his phone. As soon as he turned it on, he saw countless missed calls, mostly from Chen Lan and Father Gu.
Just as he was about to call back, he saw Gu Yinnian open his eyes and stare at him.
Xiao Ji looked into Gu Yinnian’s eyes and asked tentatively:
“Can I call Mom and Dad?”
Gu Yinnian snatched the phone from Xiao Ji’s hand, tossed it into a corner, hugged Xiao Ji tightly, and told him:
“No.”
Meanwhile, after a week-long observation and testing period, the school authorities, the First People’s Hospital, and the couple Chen Lan and Father Gu convened a meeting.
“A rare phenomenon. The pheromones of two Alphas have achieved a fusion where one acts as the dominant force and the other submits. In medical terms, this is called Pheromone Submission.”
The director of the hospital’s Pheromone Department stated while holding the report.
The school officials and Chen Lan’s couple exchanged bewildered glances.
After a long silence, Chen Lan finally spoke: “Does this mean… these two children are together?”
The director pursed his lips: “Based on the current degree of pheromone fusion, that should be the case.”
Chen Lan felt her mind was a bit of a mess.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Ji and Gu Yinnian had always been heartbreakingly sensible and had never caused any trouble for the family.
Who could have expected that when they finally did cause a stir, it would be so massive that it was impossible to clean up?
“Then for the children, is this a good thing or a bad thing?” Father Gu asked.
The director spoke frankly: “For the Alpha ranked ninth in pheromones, it’s hard to say if it’s strictly a good thing or a bad thing, because for an Alpha of this rank, finding a highly compatible Omega isn’t excessively difficult.”
“If his psychological preference is still an Omega, then this submission is undoubtedly agonizing for him.”
“But if his psychological preference is also an Alpha, then it is an incredibly fortunate, once-in-a-lifetime blessing.”
Listening to the doctor’s words, Chen Lan forced herself to calm down. She sniffled:
“What about my other child?”
The doctor replied: “The principle is the same, but the other child would likely find it nearly impossible to locate a suitable Omega. The occurrence of this phenomenon can essentially be seen as saving his susceptibility period.”
“If a high-level Alpha consistently fails to receive soothing from a suitable Omega during their susceptibility periods year after year, it is detrimental in every aspect, and can even easily trigger glandular diseases.”
After finishing, he thought for a moment and added another question:
“Between these two children…”
As soon as Chen Lan heard this, she knew what the doctor wanted to ask and quickly shook her head. “No, Xiao Ji’s parents passed away early; he grew up in our house since he was little.”
Hearing this, the doctor also breathed a sigh of relief: “Go ask the children for their thoughts later.”
Actually, at this point, there wasn’t much left to ask.
Both Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji were raised by Chen Lan single-handedly.
If one were to say they hadn’t thought in this direction before and thus overlooked many minor details, now, upon deeper reflection by Chen Lan and Father Gu, the feelings between Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji had probably quietly mutated long before they ever realized it.
The director from the First People’s Hospital was there to collect data for future research materials and papers.
After his work was done, he didn’t stay long, only mentioning that once Xiao Ji and Gu Yinnian’s susceptibility periods ended, they could visit the hospital for another comprehensive check-up.
Once the doctor left, only the school officials and Chen Lan’s couple remained.
Father Gu first shook hands with Teacher Zhao and the department head, then said:
“We will bear the cost for the damages and impact this incident has caused the school.”
“Furthermore, I have an unreasonable request. Since things have come to this, as parents, we do not wish to see any further events that could harm the children’s mental health.”
“We hope the school can manage the internal campus chatter and refrain from making a grand public spectacle out of my two children.”
The counselor understood their concerns as parents.
He also knew this matter was no longer as simple as two Alphas engaging in a homosexual relationship.
The situation between Xiao Ji and Gu Yinnian was clearly much more complicated.
He nodded: “Rest assured. We will continuously monitor the follow-up, including the children’s psychological well-being. If necessary, I will contact you at any time.”
An earth-shattering susceptibility period became Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji’s official public announcement.
Due to their special circumstances, the school also approved their application to live off-campus.
The off-campus housing was a two-bedroom apartment rented under Chen Lan’s supervision.
It was close to the school and had good security measures.
Because of his job, Father Gu had to return to Ningcheng ahead of time.
Leaving only Chen Lan behind to handle the aftermath.
Gu Yinnian went downstairs to buy daily necessities. Xiao Ji stood by the master bedroom door, watching Chen Lan help him and Gu Yinnian change into new bedsheets and quilt covers, and even add a small potted green plant to the windowsill. He called out to her:
“Aunt Chen.”
Chen Lan turned her head, acting as if nothing was amiss: “Haven’t you already been calling me Mom?”
Xiao Ji then corrected himself: “Mom.”
Chen Lan acknowledged it with an “Mhm” and asked him, “Are you hungry?”
Xiao Ji shook his head and asked her, “I led Gege astray. Do you blame me?”
Chen Lan understood what Xiao Ji meant.
Without Xiao Ji, Gu Yinnian could have found a perfectly matched Omega and lived a normal Alpha life.
She looked into Xiao Ji’s eyes: “Xiao Ji, you didn’t lead your brother astray. It was just me being too dense and failing to notice it all this time.”
“When you were little, he treated you so differently. Secretly swapping meal trays, watching over you while you slept, refusing to let other kids talk to you.”
“As you grew older, his eyes were always on you. Those two years you were away, your brother became so depressed, burying himself entirely in his studies. Even though he didn’t say it, I could tell how much he missed you.”
“There were a few times when he came back from school and secretly slept in your bedroom, using the blanket you used when you were little.”
“I should have noticed it long ago. I even wanted to ask you if your brother had coerced you…”
“He didn’t,” Xiao Ji interrupted Chen Lan. “I was willing from the very beginning.”
“But I feel I’ve let you down now.”
Translator’s Note: Our poor Father Gu having to clean up after these two! Their pheromones really didn’t hold back at all. Hope you all enjoy the chapter!
