Chapter 49: CH 34.2

Gu Xi used a pheromone blocking spray and sprayed it across the room three times. He staggered to pick up the inhibitor he prepared next to him and went into the bathroom, ignoring his anxious agent outside.

As soon as he closed the door, Gu Xi’s body lost all its energy and became weak. He wanted to take a bath. The places that had been touched just now all felt so dirty. However, there were still people inside and outside his place, so there was no way he would take the risk of taking a bath now.

Gu Xi scrubbed his body hard with a towel. He didn’t stop until the skin showed a cut due to over scrubbing. He heard a voice in his head saying, “Feeling hopeless? Why don’t you give your body now to me so I can take over?”

Gu Xi slowly closed his eyes: “No, go back, I can handle this. Did you come out to kill Xu Shengteng? Don’t. No matter how disgusting he is, you can’t kill him.”

The voice in his head seemed aggrieved and even persuaded him a few more times, giving out the reason that he couldn’t come out freely with the body not being under his control.

Reminded by this other voice, Gu Xi finally calmed down instead. He sat down, took out a syringe and put the inhibitor in. He unpacked a whole box, and used the shots one after another, not even counting how many he had already put in.

He took off his pajamas, wiped off his sweat, and changed into his clothes for going out. He just took them out randomly, not noticing that the clothes he picked were the ones he wore a few days ago. Gu Xi was not in the mood to care what he was wearing now, though.

He looked in the mirror to stare at the person who had just been tortured by his own heat, looking ready to collapse. He wondered if there could be an Alpha that could match his pheromone, and if so, how many would they be?

And with that, Yang Qi’s hope was tossed out the window.

Gu Xi watched them disappear without a hint of emotion.

He stood outside the apartment for a moment, took out his mobile phone and began to make a post on Weibo, attached with a picture of someone holding an umbrella on a rainy day: I always thought that after the rain, there’s always a rainbow but as it turns out, it’s always been raining and there seems to be no end to it.

This sentimental remark, unlike the previous positive ones from Gu Xi, suddenly attracted the attention of a group of fans and onlookers. The number of comments increased in minutes.

Today’s events will soon be sniffed by the paparazzis with a keen sense of smell. With Shengteng Entertainment’s consistent style, he will definitely be painted in a bad way so he should make a move now and prepare.

The elevator door opened slowly and a wheelchair appeared. On the wheelchair sat a young man in white, with a delicate, gentle face, and slender fingers. He was holding a philosophy book and a light-coffee colored wool shawl. The young man looked so clean and pure that it overshadowed the sharpness that could only come from an Alpha.

His name was Fang Jue Lian and has since been disabled after being involved in a car accident in his early years. He was a painter. He has the charm of an artist, making people feel good at first glance.

They were on the same floor, with his two apartments just opposite Gu Xi’s. He was good-natured and very friendly. He would always go out, roaming about.

Fang Jue Lian treated him the same even after he found out that the person living opposite him was a famous person. He had never treated him differently just because he was Gu Xi. Because of this, Gu Xi had a good impression of Fang Jue Lian, this obviously mindful person.

It was probably because he was into arts that he wasn’t a bit interested in the entertainment industry. However, whenever he made a cake, he would knock on Gu Xi’s door and invite him to have a taste. He was a person that could make people genuinely happy. In his spare time, Gu Xi would go to his house to relax, listen to music or cook dishes together. Their hobbies were very similar so they had a lot to talk about with each other. This person was indeed a very rare friend that could lift up his spirit and help him unwind.

They were pretty much in a luxury gated community so security was relatively good. Probably because of the police car downstairs and the mess inside Gu Xi’s apartment, he came forward to ask about what happened. Gu Xi, however, didn’t want to talk about it anymore and simply shook his head, “Nothing, it’s okay now.”

Fang Jue Lian noticed Gu Xi’s pale face and said, “You don’t look okay. Why don’t you come to my place, have a cup of tea and rest. You look tired.”

This was an ordinary and common invitation to a neighbor.

#He’s so beautiful.

Slim, supple and strong looking waist, damp hair, and mystifying eyes.

One look and it’s so easy to tell that this person held beauty that was out of this world. If I could push him down on a bed, what kind of magnificence would I see?

His body, I really wanna yank it open.#

Gu Xi, who was just about to refuse, suddenly tried to hide the shock in his eyes, not daring to let the other person find anything wrong with him. He said a few polite words, and it wasn’t until the other person’s wheelchair was pushed inside their home by their helper that Gu Xi withdrew his gaze.

A shiver ran down his spine. He calmly took all his important documents and IDs, packed up all the necessities and important things he needed, closed the door, and rushed into the elevator. Everything was down in one go.

It wasn’t until he got into the elevator, and felt the cool air from the air conditioner inside that he slowly came back to his senses.

He laughed silently.

Gu Xi squatted down and laughed until tears ran down his face. He covered his face with his hands and didn’t want people to see him, a mess. He got out of the elevator and left the gated community.

He walked on the side of the road in a daze. After taking too many inhibitors, the side effects had finally begun. He was now actually thinking slower than Rong Jing, and his dry looking eyes seemed like a withered well.

He stared straight at the texture of the ground, and walked slowly to relieve the pain in his body. As he walked, a light rain fell, an early autumn rain, with a subtle coolness.

People around him took shelter from the rain in twos and threes. A couple even walked past him, laughing, hiding from the rain with a coat.

He had been walking for a long time, and the soles of his feet were now starting to feel stiff. Gu Xi looked up in confusion. He was now standing in front of the hotel, Xie Li’er. How did I get here?

Gu Xi looked at his feet with an annoyed expression, and even wanted to question them with the questions: What were you up to, huh? Aren’t you ashamed? How could you even think of going to him? Does he have anything to do with you?

He’s such a nice person. He should be pure and clean. He shouldn’t have anything to do with you. That’s for the best. Don’t even think about bothering him.

Gu Xi squatted down and fiercely slapped his shoes twice. After staring at the hotel, Gu Xi walked away and back outside. He walked a little further then sat down on a bench. Behind him was a man-made lake, looking very ethereal because of the fog brought by the rain.

After Rong Jing settled things down with Su Xi, he outright refused Wu Fuyu’s invitation to a birthday party. As for how Wu Fuyu reacted, he didn’t care. With their current situation, he no longer felt the need to maintain the peace on the surface.

Rong Jing sat in the car that Xie Ling gave him, getting ready to go back to Xie Li’er.

Ever since the traffic light illusion incident the other night, Rong Jing felt that this world had a deep malice against him, a foreigner. Though he had yet to figure out the laws of this world, he still had to be careful, so he decided not to drive himself.

Since Xie Ling gave him a car, a driver was, of course, included. This driver was an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

Xie Ling gave him two candidates. One was Xie Yushan, a distant relative of the Xie family. Rong Jing remembered that this person would later become Xie Jisheng’s lackey. The other is Zhou Xiang’s cousin, Zhou You, with a facial paralysis that rivals Xie Ling’s. He heard that he has the same goal as Zhou Xiang. To become an excellent and unparalleled secretary.

Rong Jing has great respect for this kind of person.

Zhou You was now Rong Jing’s temporary driver and assistant.

Just then, Rong Jing received a text message from the pheromone matching center, but before he could even read it, the car stopped at a red light.

He pulled out a lollipop, trying to ignore the craving for a cigarette.

As he opened the wrapper, he thought to himself, Gu had no idea about what was currently going on. Although Gu Xi’s fate had been accidentally changed, he would still attract a bunch of scum even if he does nothing because of this world’s ‘love and care’ for him for being the main character.

The autumn rain hit the car window and a cool breeze blew inside.

Rong Jing was about to close the window when he saw a man sitting alone on a bench by the lake in the distance. His clothes, especially, and his cap looked familiar. This kind of gray clothes looked particularly good only when worn by this person, so he remembered it vividly.

This certain disguise.. This isn’t Gu Xi, is he?

When he checked his Weibo, he remembered seeing a showbiz news that Gu Xi had been absent from work for several days now, his compay also stated that he was nowhere to be found, putting all the blame on him. There were already a lot of rumors about him, and he was only now relying on his fans to control everybody’s opinion about him. If nothing changes, this wouldn’t be good for him.

Rong Jing recalled that Gu Xi’s heat period was longer than the average omega’s, and that he was still in heat. Was his company forcing him to work?

Of course, that trash company was capable of doing such a thing. It would probably arrange something worse for Gu Xi exactly because he was in heat.

Rong Jing thought about these things as he got ready to get out of the car to have a look.

Actually, he didn’t feel much when he read the novel. But it was different when he met him personally. He appreciated Gu Xi’s cold exterior and the warm personality that he hid inside.

However, it wasn’t so easy to get out of the car at the moment. Zhou You told him calmly that the green light was already on, and that if he wanted to alight the car, they would need to turn back. 

Rong Jing took another look at the lonely figure and said, “Then let’s turn back.”

As a very disciplined citizen like Zhou Xiang, Zhou You didn’t take a U-turn or exceed the speed limit. After making a solid circle that Rong Jing didn’t expect would be a big circle, ten minutes had already gone by.

Now that they were back, Rong Jing let Zhou You find a place to park, while he walked over with an umbrella.

When he got closer, he found that the person in front of him had not even changed his position since more than ten minutes ago, looking like a statue.

As Rong Jing approached him, he couldn’t help but lighten up his footsteps, as if he was afraid of waking him up.

“Gu Xi?”

The umbrella was moved to Gu Xi’s head.

Gu Xi felt the cool feeling of the rain suddenly disappear. Did the rain stop?

He vaguely heard someone calling his name. He looked up with misty eyes, confused.

Rong Jing’s heart was moved slightly, as if he had just seen a gray spirit in the rain. He didn’t really expect that it would be him. Why was he here? Everytime he sees him, he seems to see a different Gu Xi.

Gu Xi thought that he must be crazy, and was now imagining Rong Jing in front of him.

He lowered his head again and stared blankly at the ground in front of him, and the sneakers in sight. This pair of sneakers seemed quite expensive. Shoes from Xie that hadn’t been put on sale. He didn’t expect his imagination would be this detailed.

“Gu Xi,” Rong Jing said once more.

Gu Xi looked up again, and his blank eyes gradually focused. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was not actually a figment of his imagination but the real one.

Rong Jing asked when he finally saw a reaction from him, “What are you doing here?”

Gu Xi looked at him straight, looking like he didn’t understand him and said not a word.

“Do you wanna go to my place for shelter from the rain?” If you have nowhere to go. Eh, yeah, how could Gu Xi have no place to go.

Ah, no, what the hell are you talking about? It’s just an invitation, but not that kind of invitation. He looked at Gu Xi’s current expression, like he was asking him, shelter from this rain where? He looked at him like he was some strange uncle.

Rong Jing felt that he looked really strange in Gu Xi’s pure eyes. He wanted to explain but he became tongue tied and nervous.

Gu Xi didn’t answer, a silent refusal to his question.

“Well, you can take this umbrella.” You’ll catch a cold if you just stay like this.

Rong Jing, you dumbass. Who would want your broken umbrella? Maybe he just wanted to enjoy the feeling of sitting on a bench under the rain. Maybe you didn’t get that and just blindly gave him an umbrella.

Still, he silently put the umbrella near Gu Xi’s feet.

Just as he was about to leave, he felt a familiar, soft tug behind him. This feels like it’s happened before.

When Rong Jing turned around, he saw Gu Xi lower his eyes, unable to read his expression.

Gu Xi’s cold and stiff hands, which tried to stop the person from leaving, loosened its hold.

This free pancake that fell from the sky was just too sweet. He wouldn’t be greedy. So please, let him take a bite. Just a small bite.

“Okay.”
