Chapter 208
Shen Shuyu admitted it generously: [Yes.]
The System let out an “oh.” Shen Shuyu asked: [Is it forbidden for transmigrators to date people in the novel world?]
[Not necessarily,] the System said. [We’ve had precedents before. After completing their tasks, transmigrators can choose for themselves whether to stay or leave.]
Shen Shuyu felt much more at ease hearing this.
[However,] the System took a long pause. [Are you certain that after you see him pass away from natural causes, you will be able to remain indifferent?]
Transmigrators generally have very long lifespans. Some spend a lifetime in a book world and then return to take on more tasks.
Xiao Yi was worried that if Shen Shuyu fell in completely, he might suffer a mental breakdown at the very end.
Shen Shuyu said, [We’ll worry about the future when it comes. If we think about the end now, what’s the point of living?]
The System silently transformed into a puppy and lay down. It said: [An unknown life and complex emotions… indeed, they are wonders that data cannot calculate.]
Shen Shuyu looked at Wen Jiafei and said softly, “Yes.”
Everything truly was a wonder.
Wen Jiafei clearly felt he was in a dream.
He had returned to the night when Shen Shuyu was forced into the water by an Alpha in his rut. He stood by the fountain, watching the scene repeat. The Alpha in his rut snapped awake the moment he saw Shen Shuyu fall into the water. He originally wanted to save him, but then he remembered that the person in the water was the famous young master of the Shen family. If he got involved with him, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the city any longer.
He stood by the fountain watching the Omega struggling in the water. The water in this pond was so shallow; even if he didn’t save him, he would be fine. Besides, the surveillance here happened to be broken. It was more important for him to leave.
That Alpha ignored Shen Shuyu’s cries for help and left in a hurry.
Wen Jiafei wanted to save him, but a subconsciousness in his body told him he couldn’t.
This wasn’t the Shen Shuyu he knew.
Suddenly, his hand was grasped by a wet hand. He looked down; Shen Shuyu had climbed out of the pond. He stared at Wen Jiafei gloomily and questioned him: “Why didn’t you save me!”
Wen Jiafei couldn’t make a sound.
Shen Shuyu said, “Are you hoping for my death? If I die, you won’t live either.”
The Shen Shuyu before him was so strange. It was clearly the same face, but the feeling he gave was completely different. This Shen Shuyu was fierce, with a sense that he wouldn’t stop until his goals were met.
Wen Jiafei opened his mouth to answer him, but then he saw a figure approaching from not far away. The person walked over slowly—it was himself, just after finishing class.
He walked indifferently to the side of the pond. Wen Jiafei followed his gaze and saw that the Shen Shuyu who had been holding him just now was now submerged at the bottom of the water.
He saw the other “him” jump into the water without a second thought and pull Shen Shuyu out.
Wen Jiafei watched his own actions. Next, he would call the school security office, and they would bring medical staff over.
Sure enough, every step of the other “him” was seen clearly.
He took a deep breath. He didn’t understand why he was having this dream.
Just as he was thinking, the other “him” who was about to leave walked toward him.
The two stood facing each other. Wen Jiafei opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
In the next second, he heard the other “him” say: “I helped you save him. Now, the rest is up to you.”
What does ‘helped you save him’ mean?
Wen Jiafei didn’t understand that sentence. Had he said that back then?
Muddily, Wen Jiafei thought he couldn’t remember clearly at all.
A flash of white light blinded him for a moment. He instinctively squinted, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the gap in the curtains that hadn’t been pulled tight. The sunlight from outside was falling on him through that gap.
Wen Jiafei sat up from the bed with bleary eyes. Looking at his surroundings, his brain was still a bit dazed, but in the next second, he remembered everything.
Where was Shen Shuyu?!
Wen Jiafei threw off the quilt and, without even putting on slippers, hurriedly pulled open the bedroom door. But seeing the person in the living room, his movements slowed down.
Shen Shuyu was sitting on the sofa with his back to the bedroom door. At this moment, it was unclear who he was talking to. He seemed to hear the sound of the door and glanced back at him. He didn’t say much, just pointed to the terminal in his hand, gesturing for him to be quiet.
The moment he saw he was still there, Wen Jiafei’s reason finally returned completely. He looked down at his feet, went back to the bedroom, and put on his slippers.
After a night’s sleep, he felt the agitation in his body was gone. It wasn’t as uncomfortable as last night, feeling like tens of thousands of ants were crawling on him. Was his rut over?
Wen Jiafei wasn’t in a hurry to go out. Instead, he went to the bathroom to wash up first. He looked at himself in the mirror, his gaze finally falling on his lips.
Last night shouldn’t have been a dream, right?
It shouldn’t be. If it were a dream, he wouldn’t have woken up in Shen Shuyu’s bed.
A few hints of a smile appeared in Wen Jiafei’s eyes, but then he thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and he closed his eyes to sense the Luck System that had previously existed in his mind.
No matter how he called, it didn’t appear.
Wen Jiafei opened his eyes. Could it be… he really had driven that system out of his head?
Wen Jiafei tried hard to remember, but he couldn’t recall how exactly he had shaken off that Luck System.
Just then, there were two knocks on the bathroom door.
He snapped back to his senses and turned to look out of the open door. Shen Shuyu stood outside with his arms folded. “What are you thinking about? You’re so absorbed.”
Wen Jiafei said, “Nothing.”
He walked out and looked at Shen Shuyu. “That system… it’s been removed from my head.”
He sounded quite proud, as if he wanted a reward.
Shen Shuyu patted his shoulder. “Impressive. As expected of you.”
Wen Jiafei stared at him. “That’s it?”
Shen Shuyu thought for a moment. “Do you feel unwell anywhere today?”
Wen Jiafei sensed for a bit and shook his head. “No.”
He didn’t feel any discomfort. Aside from the sense of gain and loss brought by the rut, since that Luck System thing left, his emotions felt much more stable. He wasn’t as prone to irritability or excitement as he had been recently.
Shen Shuyu nodded. “Alright, then it seems you’re back to normal. Let’s go have some breakfast. You should head over and show your face to your bodyguards.”
After speaking, Shen Shuyu turned to head back to the living room, but before he could take a step, his wrist was grabbed. He looked back to find Wen Jiafei staring intently at him.
The boy didn’t speak, but his gaze fell on Shen Shuyu’s lips.
Shen Shuyu raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be dazed. He asked, “Is there something else?”
Seeing Shen Shuyu’s confused look, Wen Jiafei began to hesitate again. Was last night real, or was it a hallucination from the intense onset of his rut?
Just as he was feeling lost, the scent of camellia enveloped him.
Shen Shuyu kissed the corner of his mouth and smiled. “I’m done teasing you. I said I wouldn’t regret it, and I mean it.”
It was real.
Wen Jiafei couldn’t hide his happiness. Shen Shuyu simply took his hand and led him out of the bedroom. The waiter had already delivered breakfast, and they could eat as soon as they sat down.
While sitting at the dining table, Shen Shuyu asked, “The rut… you don’t feel any discomfort?”
He had given Wen Jiafei an inhibitor injection as soon as he woke up this morning. Judging by his state, he felt Wen Jiafei was fine.
Wen Jiafei gave a low hum. “I’m okay now.”
Shen Shuyu reminded him, “Your rut should still last a few more days. Give yourself an inhibitor injection every morning when you wake up. When you wake up one day and don’t feel any discomfort, then the rut is over.”
Hearing Shen Shuyu say this, Wen Jiafei understood. Shen Shuyu must have given him an inhibitor before he woke up.
He rolled up his shirt sleeve and sure enough, saw a very small, thin needle mark.
Shen Shuyu took a sip of porridge. “When did your gland undergo secondary differentiation?”
He finally asked the question. Wen Jiafei explained, “The first day I arrived here.”
At that time, the differentiation didn’t cause any discomfort; he just felt his pheromones seemed a bit richer. Ning Shan also had a doctor come over to check, who confirmed that his gland had indeed undergone secondary differentiation and told him to be mindful of the rut.
After all, there is always a rut after differentiation, especially since he had undergone secondary differentiation into a top-tier Alpha. That was why the other members of the Ning family were somewhat wary—aside from Ning Bai and Ning Shan, Wen Jiafei was the only one in the younger generation, and while he was technically an outsider, it didn’t change the fact that he was a Ning.
He had actually been mindful of it and carried inhibitors with him, but the moment he saw Shen Shuyu, he really couldn’t remember anything. Instinct made him draw close to the person he liked.
He silently took a sip of porridge. Now that he was clear-headed and calm, it was time to discuss other matters.
“When are you leaving?”
Shen Shuyu looked up at him and teased, “You were crying and refusing to let me go yesterday, and now you’re thinking of driving me away today?”
