Perhaps because of this sentence, Duan Yizhou underwent a subtle change, and it wasn’t a good one. It was a Duan Yizhou that Luo Songran had never seen before. The man let go of him and stared at him silently, his face not looking good, his air pressure low, and the restlessness emanating from him was like a bomb about to explode, untouchable.

Meeting Duan Yizhou’s deep, gloomy gaze, Luo Songran strongly felt the desire in the man’s eyes, and this kind of desire made him feel uneasy because it wasn’t quite normal. This worried him a lot.

“Are you very uncomfortable?” He held Duan Yizhou’s hand, and in that instant of contact, he was stunned. The temperature of his hand seemed to be hot? And he was completely unaware that the alpha’s pheromones were gradually breaking through the inhibitor’s constraints, gradually permeating the corridor, and the pressure of the alpha pheromones was about to have an impact.

“Let’s go home.” Duan Yizhou’s hoarse voice sounded, but these two words carried an unusual meaning. His breathing was erratic, and the breath that followed the end of the words was especially clear.

“Oh, okay.” Luo Songran already noticed something wrong in Duan Yizhou’s voice, so he let him lead him out, thinking that Duan Yizhou might be entering his susceptible period? But he couldn’t be sure if the specific manifestation of the susceptible period was like this.

The music room was near the dormitory building, and there was parking downstairs in the dormitory building. Duan Yizhou’s car was parked there, so they didn’t walk for long before getting into the car.

“You’ve sweated a lot.” Luo Songran saw Duan Yizhou leaning over to help him fasten his seatbelt. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he didn’t hesitate to reach out and touch it, intending to wipe away the sweat for Duan Yizhou. But as soon as his hand touched Duan Yizhou’s forehead, his wrist was suddenly grasped.

The force was so strong that he even felt a slight tremor. He looked at Duan Yizhou in surprise, only to find that his eye sockets were slightly red, and he seemed to be enduring something, showing a look of unbearable pain. His chest began to rise and fall. This made him feel a little panicked, “Is something wrong?” 

“…Yes.” Duan Yizhou lowered his head, took a deep breath, and gently said this word. He brought Luo Songran’s wrist to his lips, his breath heavy, but the kiss on Luo Songran’s wrist was extremely gentle.

Almost the last bit of reason. The car was completely filled with the scent of amber and musk, strong rum overwhelming the gentle scent of amber, as if the last bit of reason and sobriety were being swallowed up, all of it manifested on the wrist that was grasped red.

“Babe, I’m very uncomfortable.” The man’s already low voice added a hoarseness, adding a hint of danger.

Luo Songran happened to meet Duan Yizhou’s raised eyes, and the cold golden rims of his glasses revealed an extremely possessive gaze, making him feel like prey about to be devoured, and the pain in his wrist made him realize something was wrong.

Duan Yizhou was definitely in his susceptible period now. He didn’t even care about his wrist being grasped red. With his other hand, Luo Songran wiped the cold sweat off Duan Yizhou’s forehead and said, “I have sexual inducers. I can help you. Everything will be fine.”

“No, you can’t.” Duan Yizhou stared at Luo Songran in front of him, getting closer. Instinctual infatuation emerged in his eyes, and he reached out his arm to half-circle Luo Songran, his voice trembling with self-struggle. “You can’t use it on me, baby, do you hear me?”

“Why not? You’re in your susceptible period now. Do you want to find another person besides me?” Luo Songran felt Duan Yizhou’s temperature rising as he got closer, and he frowned. “I know you’re afraid because I’m pregnant, but if you don’t use it, you’ll suffer.”

So many alphas hurt themselves because they don’t have an omega and are hit by the susceptible period suddenly. It’s terrifying.

“If I let you use the sexual inducer, I’ll be the one who suffers.” Duan Yizhou closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing himself to be a little more sober, wanting to let go of Luo Songran. But just as he let go, Luo Songran hugged him. He instinctively wanted to push him away.

“Do you dare to push me?” Luo Songran raised his voice, asking.

Duan Yizhou was speechless. He silently placed the hand that had been at his side on the center console. Because of the force exerted, the long and slender joints of his hand gradually turned white. He naturally couldn’t push him away. But if Luo Songran continued to hug him like this, he couldn’t bear it.

Luo Songran hugged the man in front of him, feeling the rising body temperature more and more. He didn’t care. “If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll be uncomfortable too. What should I do if I don’t do this? Do you want me to watch you suffer?”

“I am indeed in my susceptible period, so if you get close to me now, I might hurt you unintentionally.” Duan Yizhou lowered his head, kissed Luo Songran’s fair and delicate neck, and his eyes became even deeper when he smelled the scent of citrus and rose pheromones. Usually, beta’s pheromones had no effect, but he felt like they were sedatives to him now, shaking his willpower, and his rationality was on the verge of collapse. Finally, he couldn’t help but bite Luo Songran’s neck.

Very lightly.

Luo Songran felt that this bite was completely harmless. He saw the veins on Duan Yizhou’s hand on the center console gradually becoming tense, spreading up to his wrist. He gently placed one hand on Duan Yizhou’s nape and the other on his hand, coaxing, “I know you care about me, but I care about you too. If you don’t let me use the sexual inducer, then tell me, what can I do for you?”

“I can’t go in.” Duan Yizhou felt the touch of Luo Songran’s fingertips passing over the veins, like feathers brushing across his heart, stirring his already shaky rationality. He gritted his teeth, warning himself, “I can’t touch you.” Then he heard Luo Songran laugh softly beside his ear.

“Then I’ll touch you.”

Duan Yizhou’s body stiffened. He only heard a buzzing sound in his head, as if something was breaking, it was the sound of his rationality breaking. 

The door of the house “clicked” open, and before the mechanical female voice finished speaking, Duan Yizhou slammed the door shut. In the entrance hall, the tall alpha encircled the beta in his arms. Their erratic breathing and the alpha pheromones breaking through the inhibitor’s restrictions merged together, like a beast capturing its prey and sniffing its delicious food.

Duan Yizhou’s arms were propped on Luo Songran’s ear, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging due to the tension of his body, he lowered his head, trying hard to restrain the last impulse, his eye sockets slightly red and hot, showing the expression of enduring.

“Baby.”

“Hmm?” Luo Songran smiled in response to Duan Yizhou’s hoarse call. He raised his hand, took off the man’s glasses, and casually placed them on the shoe cabinet behind him.

“Don’t provoke me.” Duan Yizhou’s Adam’s apple rolled, and his gaze didn’t move away from Luo Songran’s face, pressing down the hand that Luo Songran used to put the glasses on the shoe cabinet, tightly grasping it. The sweaty palm conveyed a signal of almost emotional edge.

“I’ll help you.” Luo Songran whispered gently, holding Duan Yizhou’s moist palm back, intertwining their fingers. “It’s okay if you don’t touch me, but please let me help you. Otherwise, you’ll really suffer. Does the sedative still work for you now that I’m in front of you?” 

Duan Yizhou was stimulated by his increasingly surging thoughts and couldn’t help but feel hot all over, not to mention that Luo Songran was teasing him so blatantly. He lowered his head and kissed Luo Songran. He just wanted to taste a little to relieve himself. But the next moment, Luo Songran tiptoed and deepened the kiss.

They both loved kissing when they were ‘in love’ because kissing could convey many signals to each other—gentle, dominant, impatient emotions could all be expressed through the kiss, reflecting their thoughts at the moment. And now was no exception.

Duan Yizhou was brought into confusion by this kiss. He held Luo Songran’s waist and deepened the kiss. The two streams of pheromones in the air approached each other time and time again, unable to fully blend but harmoniously touching each other, carrying strong desires to each other. They attempted time and time again to break through the irresistible constraints between them.

After an unknown length of time, Luo Songran’s hand gently patted Duan Yizhou’s waist, just as he had done when he made his request to Duan Yizhou last time. Then, he rubbed his nose against Duan Yizhou’s lips and looked up, saying, “I’ll help you. Let’s see if we can alleviate it first. If not, we’ll figure something out, okay?”

“Okay.”

—Two hours later—

“Cough, cough, cough—” The moment Luo Songran choked, he couldn’t help but cough out loud. He lowered his head and spit out what was in his mouth. Perhaps he had choked badly; his eyes became slightly red and moist. He looked up at Duan Yizhou with a hint of grievance. “I’m tired.”

His speech was a bit slurred. He coughed again and then gestured as if to stand up to go wash his hands.

Duan Yizhou bent down and picked up Luo Songran, knowing that the little fellow wanted to go to the bathroom. Although they were sitting on the carpet, the time had indeed been a bit long, and he was worried that Luo Songran might feel uncomfortable.

“Okay, no need.” He suppressed the lingering heat that hadn’t subsided by half, but indeed, he felt a bit better than in the morning. “Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

Feeling a bit tired, Luo Songran rested his head on Duan Yizhou’s shoulder and whispered, “Yes, my throat hurts.”

“Sorry for making you tired.” Duan Yizhou kissed his forehead tenderly, feeling sorry for him.

“It’s also my fault.” Luo Songran hugged Duan Yizhou’s neck apologetically. “I made you angry before, and then I made you angry when I extracted the pheromones. Otherwise, how could your estrus period come on so suddenly?”

He was now a little worried about what to do if this didn’t solve the problem. Would he really have to find an omega for Duan Yizhou?

Hearing Luo Songran’s words, Duan Yizhou couldn’t bear to blame him. He also knew that Luo Songran had extracted the glandular pheromones for his sake. Despite knowing he was pregnant, he dared to do so because he loved him. 

In the bathroom, Luo Songran gargled with water. He caught a glimpse of Duan Yizhou who had been staring at him, “What’s wrong?”

As he spoke, he saw Duan Yizhou come up behind him and hug him. Due to the difference in their sizes, Duan Yizhou’s chest completely enveloped him. He saw this man place his chin on his shoulder, his eyes full of affection, even hotter than usual.

“RanRan, have I ever told you how much I love you?” The man’s deep, hoarse voice sounded in his ears, carrying a hint of lazy satisfaction, teasing his heartstrings and making his ears tingle.

Feeling the warm breath on his neck, Luo Songran felt a little itchy. He instinctively leaned away. “Yes, you say it often.”

“How do I usually say it?”

Luo Songran tilted his head, pondering. “Well… you say it very elegantly, expressing great love.”

Duan Yizhou took in every detail of Luo Songran’s appearance in front of him. Now, he could analyze every subtle expression of Luo Songran meticulously, all to calm his own restlessness, “Baby, do you know about Rupert’s Tears?”

“I don’t know. What is it?”

“It’s a melted glass that naturally drips into ice water under gravity, forming tadpole-shaped ‘glass teardrops’, which are indestructible even by bullets.”

“That’s amazing.”

“But it also has a fatal weakness.”

“What weakness?”

“A pinch with a finger and it shatters.”

“Huh? Then how is it indestructible?”

“Well, my love for you is like Rupert’s Tears. It can’t be crushed, but a slight pinch can break it.”

As he spoke, delicate kisses landed on his neck. Luo Songran met Duan Yizhou’s gaze in the mirror, each kiss making him feel different from usual. “Why would it break with a pinch?”

“If you ever say you don’t love me, I would be very sad.”

Luo Songran heard the melancholy in Duan Yizhou’s tone. This estrus period had made Duan Yizhou particularly fragile. Was he even acting spoiled? He turned around, cupping Duan Yizhou’s face. “I love you very much now.”

Duan Yizhou lowered his eyes, gazing at him with a misty look. “I love you, very much. I have never loved anyone like this before.” 

So he really didn’t want to hurt Luo Songran. He couldn’t lose control. No matter what, he had to endure. Though his words were gentle, his love was undeniably intense.

Luo Songran didn’t notice that Duan Yizhou’s back was already soaked with sweat and tense. He thought Duan Yizhou was just expressing love, so he responded, “I know, I do too.”

“Let me hold you.” Duan Yizhou embraced Luo Songran, the strength of his hug not too strong. He even felt a bit empty-headed, a sense of imbalance arising from being tense to a certain degree. He felt somewhat weak, but he still kept his hands firmly on the sink behind Luo Songran, resisting the urge to collapse.

The dominant alpha pheromones in the bathroom fluctuated between strong and weak, signaling danger. Though Luo Songran couldn’t smell it, he vaguely felt uncomfortable, a sensation originating from his stomach. At that moment, he sensed Duan Yizhou’s voice weakening and felt his body becoming heavier in his embrace.

“…Call Jiang Yi.” Duan Yizhou exerted the last of his strength to utter these words.

Luo Songran was about to ask why when, the next moment, he saw Duan Yizhou tilting sideways. Reacting quickly, he tried to grab Duan Yizhou, but the man was too heavy, and both of them ended up falling to the floor. Perhaps it was instinctive, but before fainting, Duan Yizhou managed to shield Luo Songran in his arms. However, his head hit the floor hard, emitting a dull sound, and his pupils dilated for a moment.

“Duan Yizhou!!!” Luo Songran hastily sat beside Duan Yizhou, seeing his pale face lying on the floor. His eyes widened, fear creeping into his gaze as he reached to touch the back of Duan Yizhou’s head. “Did you hit anything?”

Struggling to keep his eyes open, Duan Yizhou saw Luo Songran’s worried expression and managed to tug at his lips, attempting to speak. “I’m fine, call Jiang Yi.”

“What are you thinking, worrying about me at a time like this? Your complexion looks terrible now. Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Seeing Duan Yizhou’s suddenly pallid complexion and cold sweat on his forehead, Luo Songran’s trembling hands wiped it off. “I’ll call now. Is it Jiang Yi? No, I should call an ambulance…”

Duan Yizhou groaned, feeling a fierce burning sensation tearing through his body. This kind of pain was uncontrollable when the estrus period truly arrived. He was in agony, consciousness gradually fading. Still, he held onto Luo Songran tightly. “…Baby, don’t cry. Call Jiang Yi, and then… call an ambulance. Don’t drive yourself, understand?”

“Okay, okay, I got it. Just hold on a little longer.” 

As Luo Songran reached for his phone, he saw Duan Yizhou slowly close his eyes. In that instant, he froze, his mind blank, followed by waves of fear and coldness rushing up from his feet. “Duan Yizhou!!!”
