Yue Fei: Secretary Qiao, are you with Mr. Gu now?
Qiao Si never replied, Yue Fei called him directly.
"Hello," Qiao Si's tone was normal when he answered.
Yue Fei: "Secretary Qiao, are you with Gu Wei?"
Hearing that the person who called is Yue Fei, Qiao Si's tone faded a bit: "Mr. Yue, Mr. Gu is still busy here, I will call you back later."
Just when Qiao Si wanted to hang up the phone, a hand reached out in the darkness of the back seat and took the phone from his hand directly.
Qiao Si looked back in surprise.
"Looking for me?"
A low voice from the earpiece entered his eardrum, Yue Fei's hanging heart instantly settled down, and he had forgotten what Qiao Si had said to him: Gu Wei is on the cruise ship and will be free tomorrow.
"Where are you? Are you going to return to Nanwan Xiang District tonight?" Yue Fei asked him.
"I'm on my way back, I'll be a bit late."
"Did you see the message I sent you?" Yue Fei asked. He called Qiao Sei because Gu Wei did not reply.
"That, I didn't see it, I lost my phone."
The breathing in the earpiece was a little heavy.
But at the moment, Yue Fei's mind was still on the news he just read. He licked his lower lip and asked bluntly: "I just saw the news saying that you marked an omega called Chu Ran, which is a celebrity."
The earpiece became quiet.
Yue Fei added: "I am not interfering with your life, but if my family or your family sees the news, they may ask me what is going on. I think I should discuss this with you ahead of time."
"It's fake news, you know that I don't like omega," Gu Wei chuckled as he replied, speaking in a lighter voice than at the beginning, "I will let Qiao Si handle the press."
Yue Fei: "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei threw the phone back to Qiao Si, pulled out his tie, and said to the driver: "Go back to Nanwan Xiang District."
Qiao Si disagreed: "But in your state...or it would be more appropriate for me to call Mr. Yue to leave first?"
Gu Wei: "No need."
"But..."
"Qiao Si," Gu Wei interrupted him, "take care of the news about this incident on the internet. If you don't understand, ask Tang Yue."
Qiao Si's heart dropped a beat: "Yes."
...
The vehicle arrived at Nanwan Xiand District, and as Gu Wei got out of the vehicle, his surrounding was filled with the overflowing wilderness rosin.
Qiao Si watched him enter the indoor elevator, took out his phone and sent a message to Yue Fei before leaving in the car.
Qiao Si: Hello, Mr. Yue, I also received a call from Mr. Gu tonight, only to realize that Mr. Gu passively induced his rut on the cruise, and he stayed in the locked room for two days with the relief of the suppressant. Mr. Gu is not in a stable condition, but he still insists on returning to Nanwan Xiang District. Please take good care of him these two days.
Reading the message from Qiao Si, Yue Fei frowned, passively triggering the rut?
Before he could reply to Qiao Si, Yue Fei heard a noise from the hallway. Gu Wei was probably back.
Putting down the phone, Yue Fei took a few steps and walked to the entrance, seeing that Gu Wei's tie was a little messy, and there was no abnormality in the other man.
The unfamiliar yet familiar wilderness rosin puffed his nose. Yue Fei felt his body turning soft for a moment, but it was only a moment, and he disregarded it.
"You are back, are you okay?" Yue Fei asked Gu Wei.
Gu Wei changed his shoes: "Uh, I'm okay."
"Did you have dinner?" Yue Fei observed his state, "would you like me to make you something to eat?"
Gu Wei: "No, I'm just a little tired. I'll go back to my room and you should rest early."
"Okay."
Seeing Gu Wei walking upstairs as usual, Yue Fei wondered if Qiao Si was just making a fuss. Gu Wei seemed to be doing fine.
As he was thinking so, he saw Gu Wei suddenly paused in his steps upstairs, Yue Fei hurriedly went over. Before he could get closer, Gu Wei had already lifted his foot and walked upstairs again.
On the railing, sweaty handprints were clearly visible.
...
Even though Gu Wei said he was okay, Yue Fei still felt uneasy. He took the textbooks and stayed in his study room on the second floor with the door open. He planned to check in on the man whenever there was any movement in Gu Wei's room.
Alpha passively got his rut triggered? Yue Fei remembered that Jian Yi and Yin Xinchen were together because of this.
But Gu Wei did not induce himself with omega, can he survive his heat smoothly?
Yue Fei really only knows this much about the heat, so he started to search the internet for relevant information.
It turns out that although alpha has a physical quality that surpasses omega, as long as omega enters the estrus period, alpha can be passively entering estrus through pheromone. It is best for omega to pass the bonding heat by pairing with alpha. If one is to use a suppressant drug, there are side effects to the body. An alpha's rut can be relieved by drugs or other means.
Therefore, in this world, some industries are prohibited from hiring omega.
The reason why the number of omega is far lower than alpha is that, in addition to inherent physical disadvantage, part of it is also affected by the uncontrollable estrus period. They are born to be spoiled and protected by others.
After thinking about it, Yue Fei searched again.
Will beta be affected by alpha or omega pheromones?
The online answer is very clear, no.
Betas can't smell the pheromone, do not have estrus period, and cannot breed offspring like others. Both alpha and omega believe that beta is the third type of people with defects, and even majority of the concept of beta believes that they are inferior to AO.
In the study, only the sound of the keyboard tapping could be heard, Yue Fei nestled in the chair, quietly padding the screen.
When he saw that beta would not be affected by pheromone, Yue Fei was a little relieved.
In his understanding, pheromone is like aphrodisiac. The combination of medicine and perfume, it was better to not have it, so you won't be affected by it, and you won't affect others.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a cup falling from a room not far away. Yue Fei straightened up, got off the chair, and walked to the entrance of the study.
Gu Wei just came out of the room and was a little surprised when he saw him.
"You haven't slept yet? I come out to pour myself a glass of water."
Yue Fei stepped forward and took his cup: "I have water in my study. You should go back to the room to rest first, and I'll pour it for you."
After speaking, he took the cup and went back to the study.
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and did not immediately turn back to the room, but followed Yue Fei and entered his study.
Because he had already taken a shower, Yue Fei was wearing loose pajamas, standing with baggy clothes at the table, pouring the water in the cup until it is full, and carefully tested the temperature of the water.
The water temperature was just right. Hearing Gu Wei's approaching footsteps, Yue Fei was about to turn around when he picked up the water cup, but he was being hugged from behind, as the man's warm chest leaned against his back.
"Qiao Si told you?" Gu Wei's voice was dull.
Surrounded by rosin in the wilderness, Yue Fei subconsciously held his breath: "Yeah."
Gu Wei: "The person in heat is Lu Lin. He did it on purpose, but I injected myself with the suppressant and did not touch him."
Yue Fei felt his head spinning, and his attention was focused on the warmth of his back: "Then, you must feel disappointed."
The most trusted person who grew up with him did this kind of thing to him, and Lu Lin's grandfather was so kind to him.
Feeling disappointed? Gu Wei thought for a while, he was not feeling disappointed, actually he realized that he only felt angry at knowing being calculated by others, and now he has calmed down.
But he did not tell Yue Fei this, instead he only said: "The news you read is fake."
"I know."
"Then you may not know that there will be side effects if one tries to suppress the heat with drugs."
Yue Fei really doesn't know: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Wei tightened his arms slightly, lowered his head, and put his forehead on Yue Fei's shoulder: "There will be a temporary thirst for skinship."
An unknown restless pheromone came from nowhere makes Gu Wei have a great desire for the person in front of him. The usual soft affection like trickling water was amplified by the restless pheromone into a rushing river, making him unable to control his urge of wanting to get close to the person in front of him.
Yue Fei got stiffened up, and the places where Gu Wei touched seemed to be faintly hot: "What should I do?"
"Can you let me hug you for a while?"
The warm breath was in his ears, and Yue Fei's hand holding the cup loosen up.
"Uh, I guess it's okay."
After all, he is a beta, so he won't be affected by a hug.
Feeling the accelerating heartbeat of the person in his arms, and the red earlobe that can be seen when Gu Wei lifted his eyes.
Gu Wei chuckled lightly, with an unprecedented gentle tone: "Thank you."
