PLEASE GO BACK AND CHECK THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. I’ve added the part 2 in there.
“Hormone levels have fluctuated to a certain extent, but they were still within the normal range after your estrus period. Physical examination results are basically normal.”
The omega doctor sat at the other end of the consultation table, his gaze shifted from the terminal full of dense test data in front of him to Zhou Mushi, and he said with concern, “But your recent mental state appears to be not looking so good. Are you suffering from insomnia?”
Zhou Mushi’s eyes shifted slightly. He nodded, avoided the subject, and only asked, “What’s the matter with the inhibitor that failed before my estrus period?”
After more than a week, he finally found time to come to the clinic for a consultation. The result of the current physical examination showed no abnormalities, but it could not explain his unexpected estrus and his particular sensitivity to that alpha’s pheromone.
“According to your instructions, that mister did a full set of inspections here. Your assistant must have submitted the report. There is no abnormality on his pheromone.”
Zhou Mushi said indifferently, “So, it’s me that has a problem?”
“No,” the doctor adjusted his glasses, and said after a moment of deliberation, “If the use of an inhibitor is too frequent, the emergence of drug resistance is inevitable, and it’s normal that it would gradually lose its effectiveness. As for the blocker…”
“Its degree of pheromone blocking depends on the individual. The degree of pheromone blocking for ordinary groups of alphas is generally more than 95%. Coupled with the isolating bracelet, it is basically equivalent to 100% isolation, but not necessarily for some strong pheromones.”
“Strong pheromones?”
“This is just a general concept, and professional explanations are far more complicated, but in general, alpha’s pheromone strength depends on varying factors. Its factors include mental and physical conditions, while external factors depend on a specific omega. If the blocker fails, it is only possible if the genetic matching is extremely high.”
Genetic matching…
The last time Zhou Mushi heard this word was when he was just engaged four years ago. Before the official registration, following the tradition of noble families, he did a pheromone sample matching with Yu Yuan procedurally.
The result on the test sheet is 80%, which is quite a high number. It satisfies the elders who facilitated the marriage. After all, the higher the degree of matching, the more likely it is to conceive a genetically excellent offspring.
It’s a pity that Zhou Mushi didn’t have such an idea at all.
For some time after the marriage, his husband tried to sexually seduce him through pheromones, but Zhou Mushi, who was injected with inhibitors, was like a cold robot, thoroughly unmoved.
He once thought that nothing could shake him throughout his life, but he never thought that he would have an instinct that even drugs could not suppress.

“No need.” He stopped the movements of his fingers and refused.
The sun was setting, and in front of the pure white building shrouded in the twilight glow, a retro-style suspension car parked quietly on the boulevard.
The car door slid open automatically. The man in the back seat left his coat open, and there was a pinned blue brooch in the neckline of his loose shirt. When he turned his head to look at Zhou Mushi, a smile appeared on his peaceful face, showing joy after the wait.
Zhou Mushi got into the car and asked, “What are you doing here?”
He Yu said, “Today’s meeting ended early. I heard that you were here, so I came to pick you up.”
The original driver left his post due to an emergency, and a newcomer was temporarily transferred to take over, so he did not use honorifics in front of the outsider.
Dropping the use of honorifics and coupled with the other party’s deep and mellow voice, it showed an unusual intimacy, which made Zhou Mushi unaccustomed for a moment.
He didn’t mention what he came to the clinic for. He Yu also didn’t ask sensibly. Maybe the other party could guess it without any effort.
The space in the back seat is very spacious, and the two of them were separated by foot, but Zhou Mushi can still feel the warmth and light woody fragrance in the alpha’s body.
He Yu suddenly stretched out his hand, removed a fallen leaf from his hair, and crumpled it with his fingertips. In his deep pool-like eyes, ripples seem to have appeared.
“It’s now winter,” he said, his eyes falling on Zhou Mushi’s silk-gloved hand. “Is it cold outside?”
Zhou Mushi didn’t answer, watching him silently holding his left hand in his palm, slowly rubbing his index finger through the fabric.
There is a circular mark protruding under the glove, which is a ring.
……
The night before, in the dimly lit study room, during the break after sex was over, Zhou Mushi, covered with marks all over his body, was embraced. He was sitting on the arm of the sofa while his slender naked legs curled up in the crook of the alpha’s arm, with eyes half-closed, he watched He Yu take out a black velvet box from the pocket of his neatly worn suit.
“What’s that?” he asked lazily.
“A small gift for you. It’s from the auction.” He Yu’s voice was hoarse. He lowered his head, kissed his shoulder, and opened the lid of the box with one hand.
A small and exquisite ring is embedded in the velvet cloth. It has a silver body inlaid with blue diamonds, beautifully cut, and shining brightly under the light.
He Yu caressed the back of his hand, eyes deep. “Can I put it on for you?”
There was no decoration on Zhou Mushi’s fair and slender hands, except for the simple wedding ring.
He didn’t say yes or no, but only carelessly turned the silver ring on his ring finger a bit before closing his eyes.
The strength of the grip on his fingers tightens. He Yu wrapped his arms around him, his eyes lightly slid over the old ring, turning a blind eye to it, his movements reverent and concentrated, slowly slipping the silver ring from the box into his index finger.
It’s cold to the touch.
Zhou Mushi closed his eyes so he couldn’t see his current expression. And only frowned because of the momentary excessive force on his fingers. When he opened them again, He Yu had already let go of his hand, and asked in a gentle tone, “Shall I take you back to your room?”
……
The sky was gloomy, and it began to rain outside at some point. The rain gave off a sound of pitter-patter, splashing and wetting the windows of the car. Under the dim surrounding inside the car, there was a faint light in the eyes of the person in front of him.
He took Zhou Mushi’s hand, and after a long gaze, he kissed the knuckle of his index finger, separated by the silk fabric.
The smell of pheromone diffused silently, and the woody fragrance became a bit stronger.
Zhou Mushi sniffed the scent and recalled the doctor’s last advice before he left.
“A temporary mark will make you dependent on the other party’s pheromone to a certain extent. Given the long-term use of inhibitors before, you may develop symptoms of addiction. During this period, your body needs to absorb sufficient alpha pheromone, otherwise, it will cause hormonal imbalance.”
When he heard the word “addiction”, he frowned slightly.
But now, facing He Yu’s reverent expression, he withdrew his hand. When the other party lowered its eyelashes in a state of disappointment, he said, “It’s really cold outside.”
It was an answer to He Yu’s previous question.
He straightened his gloves and rubbed his thumb unconsciously on the protrusion of the ring.
He Yu raised his eyes, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.
“Is that so?” he said, with a voice as intoxicating as old wine, then his tone rose. “I should have gotten out of the car to pick you up.”
Zhou Mushi leaned against the car window and suddenly pressed the button next to him with his finger.
When the glass partition of the front and back seats of the car rose, he straightened up and kissed He Yu’s chin.
The alpha was startled by his sudden initiative and subconsciously raised his hand to hold Zhou Mushi’s shoulder. The back of his head knocked against the car window from the force of his kiss, making a dull sound.
The person in front of him showed no mercy, firmly grabbed his jaw, slipped the tip of his tongue into his mouth, and stirred it around and before He Yu could react, he quickly retreated.
His lower lip was bitten and was slightly numb.
When he came back to his senses, Zhou Mushi had already sat back in his original position. His posture was upright and natural, and his expression appeared as if nothing had happened.
He expressionlessly pressed his tongue on top of his teeth, savoring the taste of pheromone in his mouth, then closed his eyes.
The partition was lowered again. The driver didn’t know what happened in that brief ten seconds in the back seat. He quietly glanced at the rearview mirror, but unexpectedly met a pair of gloomy and deep eyes, with a faint hint of warning. It scared him, so he immediately took back his gaze.
He Yu touched his lips, and when he turned his head to look at Zhou Mushi on the other side, he said with a smile, “Was that my reward?”
The omega, who leaned against the window of the car, did not answer, only lifted his eyelids perfunctorily, eyelashes trembling lightly.
Zhou Mushi’s complexion was cold and white. Under the dim lights inside the car, he looked like a beautiful long-necked porcelain, glowing with a cold luster, and the eyes under the long eyelashes always carried an almost inorganic coldness.
People can’t help but want to hold it firmly in the palm of their hand and heart, warm it up, or crush it into pieces.
He Yu’s gaze swept across the other’s body unscrupulously, recalling its hot temperature when the other party pressed his lips a moment ago. He couldn’t help squinting his eyes and curling the corners of his lips.
The rain was still falling, but there was a glimmer of light from the sun that appeared behind the clouds.
He: Very good. His heart has softened and is now taking the initiative. Finally, going to fall in love with me.
Zhou: Humanoid pheromone dispenser machine, get✓, not bad, easy to use.
Translator’s Corner: I know I’m dumb but I don’t know I was this dumb. I was planning to not publicize this matter but I was very much ashamed of my ignorance and yes, stupidity. I have been splitting chapters with 3000字 not just with this novel but also with my previous project. Whereas CG rules say that “each part should be 3000字” so I should not split chapters less than 4000字. I read the rules before joining CG and completely misunderstood and misread them, but this will not excuse my mistake. I should have read and understood the rules more carefully however, I failed to do so and for that, I am deeply sorry. And to the concerned reader, (I hope you’re still reading the novel and did not disappoint you) thank you so much for letting Meli know or else I will remain ignorant about this matter and will continue splitting chapters with just 3000字. I’m so sorry guys I hope I did not disappoint you all and I hope this will not relinquish your interest in this novel. I will do my best in the future and if you have any thoughts, opinions or feedback don’t be ashamed to voice them out in the comment section or you can directly message me on discord at Deyonna#8570
