With such a strong scent, Yue Fei finally smelled his own pheromone.
Sweet, faintly...
A place on the back of his neck seemed to be burning up, making him unable to tolerate it.
No way, if he did not come up with a way soon, he would be burned to death.
Thinking about this, he got out of his bed, leaned on the wall, walked to the bathroom with weak steps, sat in the bathtub, and turned on the water in the shower.
The cold water poured over his head, temporarily alleviating the heat on his body.
He tilted his head and leaned on the edge of the bathtub, his eyes half-open and half-closed, his brain was muddy, unable to do any thinking for the time being.
...
The leak of pheromone, which had not converged at all, alarmed Gu Wei, who was still working in the study.
With such a high concentration, it was obvious that Yue Fei's current state is not stable. If it was not handled properly, no one knew whether there would be any danger.
After a brief thought, Gu Wei called Qiao Si.
"Come to Nanwan Xiang District, I want to go to the hospital."
After a pause, Gu Wei added: "Prepare some suppressants and pheromone cleansing sprays."
"If I don't come down, just directly come up to pick up someone."
Afterwards, he called Tang Yue: "Call the hospital and make some arrangements. Experts in beta and omega pheromone research are needed. Yue Fei might need them."
Both men heard the seriousness in Gu Wei's words, and acted immediately without unnecessary doubts.
After making some arrangements, Gu Wei finally got up and came to Yue Fei's room door.
He knocked on the door: "Yue Fei?"
No one answered.
"Xiao Fei?"
From inside the room came the sound of bottles and cans falling to the ground.
No more scruples, Gu Wei opened the door directly with the spare key.
The bed was empty.
Noting the light in the bathroom was on, Gu Wei approached and gently opened the door that was slightly closed.
In the bathroom, Yue Fei sat in the bathtub in his soaked pajamas, leaning against the corner with his head down, as if he had lost consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Gu Wei frowned, came to his side and turned off the shower: "What's wrong with you?"
The flowing cold water disappeared, the heat on the body turned back, the skin on the back of the neck was getting sore, Yue Fei didn't know what was wrong with him. If it was a pseudo estrus, why did he have no desire at all, instead it was like he is being surrounded in magma, just feeling hot and hurt all over, making him just want to die on the spot.
"It hurts."
Seeing that it was Gu Wei, Yue Fei felt like crying, and what he said was full of grievances.
Seeing the boy so uncomfortable, Gu Wei felt his heart swelling up for a short second; the rosin gently wrapped around the person, and at the same time he stretched out his hand and took the person into his arms, patted his back lightly with his big hand: "Let's go to the hospital, the pain will go away soon."
Seeing the clearly visible scratching marks on the skin on the back of the boy's neck, Gu Wei's heart jumped, knowing that the boy did this to himself due to the crucial pain; the rich pheromone gushed out from there: uncontrollably, sweet but irritable.
The pheromone, which used to be very well-behaved, was now surrounded by rosin, but it was no longer compliant, but sharply resisting and attacking.
Gu Wei finally realized that this is not estrus, but differentiation.
The rosin that is being repelled and attacked was now provoked, and it immediately became richer by several times, with a sense of oppression.
At the same time, Yue Fei groaned softly, frowning, obviously uncomfortable.
Upon seeing this, Gu Wei immediately converged his pheromone. Being wrapped in sweet pheromone, but having to resist the urge to conquer or to hunt, only Gu Wei knew how difficult it was.
But the instinct to fight with himself was not a stranger to him.
The skin on the back of the neck was so painful, Yue Fei raised his hand to the place unconsciously, wishing to tear off that piece of skin.
But as soon as he touched the skin of his neck, his hand was caught before he could move.
"Do not move."
Yue Fei struggled, but he was already so weak. For Gu Wei, this struggle could basically be ignored.
"It hurts." Unable to free his hand, Yue Fei arched his head anxiously, as if he could push away the person who was stopping him in this way.
Gu Wei wanted to help him relieve his pain, but he could not do anything; so he could only call Gu Weii.
"Gu Wei? Do you know what time it is?"
Gu Wei: "Big Brother."
Hearing his tone was not quite right, Gu Weii paused: "What's the matter?"
"Does it hurt when you differentiate into an omega? How did you get through it?"
Although he didn't know why Gu Wei asked this suddenly, Gu Weii was not shy, and said bluntly: "I was in a relationship with Lin Qi at the time, and he helped me through the differentiation period."
"How did he help you?"
"Are you cheating on Xiao Fei?"
Vaguely hearing Gu Weii's voice, Yue Fei asked Gu Wei in a daze, "Big Brother is here?"
Hearing that Yue Fei was also there, Gu Weii continued his explanation, "We didn't know what was going on at the time, luckily we were able to endure it without much effort. Later, I consulted a doctor and he said that alpha can use pheromone to smooth the omega pheromone in the differentiation phase to help ease the omega's pain, but only if omega must trust the alpha completely."
Coincidentally, he and Lin Qi met such conditions.
However, enduring the pain is the only thing the omega can do during differentiation. He can only count as an exception.
"Understood."
After speaking, Gu Wei directly hung up the phone.
"Do you trust me?" Gu Wei asked, lowering his head, pressing his lips to the ear of the person in his arms.
Yue Fei could not think about his motives for asking this question, nor could he think about how to best respond to him, only relying on his instinct to answer truthfully: "I don't."
The two fluttering words slid into Gu Wei's ears, causing him to hold the person's hand tightly, and then the corners of his mouth were raised after a pause, but there was no slight smile in his eyes: "Very good."
Afterwards, Gu Wei tilted his head and kissed the irritating mouth.
"Uhm--"
Yue Fei didn't know why things got to this point, but when the gentle rosin domineeringly entered his body, he found that the temperature on his body seemed to drop a little, and his weak hands and feet also recovered some strength.
As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Yue Fei raised his hand and climbed onto Gu Wei's shoulder, and opened his mouth actively, asking for more rosin from the other party.
As the entanglement of their lips and teeth deepened, the pheromone that was originally disorderly and restless in the bathroom slowly calmed down and blended with the rosin.
The rushing sweet spring came to the wide forest of pine, changing from the tumbling waves to a trickle, flowing through the pine, and winding back and forth.
"Mr. Gu?"
Qiao Si's voice came from the first floor, rationality telling Gu Wei that he should stop, but the person was clinging so close to him in his arms, as if the person could not be separated from him for a second, making him not wanting to stop.
"Mr. Gu!"
Following Gu Wei's instructions, Qiao Si, who was worried that some unprecedented event had happened, went up to the second floor and noticed the abnormal noise in Yue Fei's room.
Beta can't smell the pheromone, which is the reason Gu Wei called Qiao Si over; similarly, Qiao Si, who can't smell the pheromone, didn't know what's going on here.
As the footsteps approached, Gu Wei hugged Yue Fei's face. Yue Fei couldn't move for a while and could only watch Gu Wei retreating his action.
"Wait outside."
Gu Wei spoke, with an imperceptible low breath in his voice.
Hearing the order, Qiao Si stopped: "Okay."
"Pick up a clean set of clothes in the closet."
"Throw them in here, but don't come in."
Qiao Si immediately followed the order one by one.
Occasionally there were soft whispers from the bathroom, but Qiao Si knew the principle of not listening in, and consciously stood near the door of the room, away from the bathroom.
Finally, the bathroom door opened and Qiao Si saw a person in Gu Wei's arms. Although the person was being covered in a coat, he knew that the person was Yue Fei.
"To the hospital."
At the hospital, Tang Yue had already made arrangements. Qiao Si drove in through the VIP passage, and soon a medical staff transferred Yue Fei.
Only now that Qiao Si noticed his boss's disheveled appearance: the hair was messy, and the clothes were half wet.
Gu Wei didn't look at him, and said: "Give me the suppressant and get me a new suit."
Qiao Si responded and rushed to the nearby mall.
At this moment, it was faintly brightened up outside.
...
It was not until the evening that Yue Fei regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Wei standing in front of the window with back facing him.
The memory of last night rushed into his mind, and Yue Fei closed his eyes in despair, he still didn't want to wake up.
But Gu Wei noticed the sudden fluctuation of his pheromone, so he walked to the bed and found that he was pretending to be asleep. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're up? I'll let the doctor know to have them come over."
Thinking he was going out to call a doctor, Yue Fei waited a while before opening his eyes again, but saw Gu Wei standing by the bedside, looking at him with a smile.
"Hi." Yue Fei greeted soullessly, and sat up from the bed with his hands intertwined together, "What's the matter with me?"
Gu Wei sat down on the chair beside the bed: "Delayed differentiation."
The words were familiar, Yue Fei remembered the movie he had watched.
"Isn't it what I thought?"
Gu Wei: "Yes, you are an omega."
Yue Fei couldn't believe it, this information was not written in this book.
"Don't lie to me." The calmness on Yue Fei's face was a little unbearable.
Gu Wei knew that for Yue Fei, his beta gender suddenly became an omega after more than 20 years. It was normal for Yue Fei to not quite accept the fact yet: "The doctor will be here soon and I'll let him explain everything to you."
The door was opened with a click, and a man in a white coat walked in.
Yue Fei stared at the man's moving mouth, but his brain could not process all the information.
He is an omega? Is this a joke?
"Delayed differentiation is rare, and there are not many cases in the world, they can be counted using one hand."
"The pheromone grooming that your partner gave you yesterday was very successful. Otherwise, an omega like you who didn't differentiate at this age would be 80% likely to self-mutilate and cause irreversible harm to yourself."
"You have actually entered the differentiation period for quite some time, but you and your family are too careless and completely unaware. Otherwise, preparing early may not be as dangerous as last night."
"Pheromone grooming is currently the most effective way to help omegas survive the differentiation period, but when most omegas are differentiated, they can't find alpha who can help with pheromone grooming for themselves. You are quite lucky. As you are now, you will need to use pheromone grooming for at least one month, since you two are already partners, there should be no problem in this."
"You can be discharged from the hospital with two more bottles of intravenous drip, just rest at home, but family members need to accompany you."
"Everything else should be fine. Differentiation is not a big deal. You need to pay more attention to it because you differentiate a bit late. Don't be nervous, just relax. After one month, the differentiation is completed and you will be no different from any normal omega."
Until the doctor left, Yue Fei still looked sluggish.
Seeing him like this, Gu Wei stretched out his hand to pinch the boy's cheek to cheer the boy up, but before his hand touched Yue Fei's cheek, Yue Fei subconsciously avoided it.
Both of them froze for a moment.
Gu Wei's hand froze in mid-air.
But Yue Fei tilted his head and lowered his gaze, not looking at him.
"I want to be alone for a while." Yue Fei said.
