"Jennifer, send these documents to the distribution department tonight. I'll head out now." Song Jinzhi finished giving her instructions and turned to leave the company. Not long after, her car stopped in front of Gu Sijiu's house. Song Jinzhi walked in with some anticipation, but upon entering, she didn't smell the familiar scent at the door, which made her feel a bit disappointed. Looking up, she saw the housekeeper had just finished preparing the meal and was about to leave, while Gu Sijiu was lying on the sofa, and there was a faint scent of alcohol in the room.
"Why are you back so early today?" Gu Sijiu lazily asked, holding a cushion in her hand and pinching its corners. She felt that Song Jinzhi looked much better at the moment, not that she wasn't good-looking before, but she appeared even more beautiful now. Gu Sijiu attributed this feeling to her own illusion after drinking a bit.
"I came back because there was nothing to do at the company." Song Jinzhi took off her high heels and went upstairs to take a shower after the housekeeper left. The warm water from the shower washed over her body, relieving her fatigue. One thing Song Jinzhi didn't want to admit was that the reason she came back so early was that she was looking forward to Gu Sijiu cooking dinner tonight.
After their cold war ended, their relationship improved a bit. Song Jinzhi discovered that Gu Sijiu had her merits, at least in cooking, which made her less annoying. Unfortunately, Gu Sijiu hadn't cooked since then, whenever she did, it was just to make some pastries or snacks. Song Jinzhi didn't like snacks, but seeing the pastries made by Gu Sijiu and smelling the aroma made her want to try them. However, she found it hard to muster the courage to ask Gu Sijiu for snacks, it felt more difficult than apologizing, and with Song Jinzhi's personality, that was something she couldn't do.
After showering, she went downstairs for dinner, and by then, Gu Sijiu was already sitting at the dining table across from her, lazily leaning back in her chair, looking quite tired. Song Jinzhi noticed a stronger scent coming from Gu Sijiu than usual and glanced at the air purifier, which was functioning properly. However, Gu Sijiu's pheromones seemed unusually strong. Song Jinzhi sniffed, she didn't dislike the scent, but it made it hard for her to continue eating.
She looked at Gu Sijiu, and just as she was about to say something, she saw that Gu Sijiu had only taken a few bites before returning to lie on the sofa. Song Jinzhi vaguely sensed that something was off with Gu Sijiu, as if she wasn't feeling well. After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately decided not to ask. Gu Sijiu was an Alpha, generally strong and healthy, and not easily affected by minor issues. Moreover, Song Jinzhi felt that their relationship wasn't close enough for her to concern herself with Gu Sijiu's well-being.
"Wooden face, you smell so good." Gu Sijiu said, lying on the sofa with half-closed eyes, looking at the person eating across from her. She felt a bit dizzy, as if there was a roller coaster racing around in her head. Most importantly, Song Jinzhi's presence felt particularly strong. Her breath, her scent, her appearance—everything about her made it hard for Gu Sijiu to look away.
She felt that Song Jinzhi was so beautiful that even her cold expression became adorable. Gu Sijiu felt that she must be crazy to have such thoughts. She unexpectedly yearned to make contact with Song Jinzhi, even just sitting beside her would make her feel satisfied. Gu Sijiu restrained her desire to approach Song Jinzhi, her heart beating restlessly at this moment, her body slightly trembling, feeling both sweet and intoxicating. She could even sense the cool breeze brushing against her hot cheeks.
"Don't you think the weather is getting hotter?" Gu Sijiu mumbled drowsily, not wanting to say these trivial words, but simply wanting to talk to Song Jinzhi. Gu Sijiu noticed that her voice had become hoarse as she finished speaking, and her throat felt dry and thirsty. She thought about getting a glass of water, but saw that Song Jinzhi was already heading upstairs.
Watching her walk away, Gu Sijiu's gaze fell on the back of her neck, then slowly moved down, observing the curve of her back and her legs wrapped in pants. Inexplicably, Gu Sijiu couldn't control her own steps and followed her upstairs. She knew she should go back to her room to rest and not follow Song Jinzhi. However, her legs seemed to have a mind of their own and followed Song Jinzhi into the room.
"Do you need something?" Song Jinzhi frowned slightly upon seeing Gu Sijiu follow her in. This was the first time Gu Sijiu had entered without permission, and Song Jinzhi felt something was off. Her own body also felt strange. She had known Gu Sijiu was following her but inexplicably didn't want to send her away, the scent emanating from Gu Sijiu was too pleasant, making Song Jinzhi's freshly washed body feel inexplicably hot and restless. When her glands started to tremble, Song Jinzhi finally realized what was happening.
It was not her own heat phase but Gu Sijiu's that had arrived. Most Alphas do not experience their heat as frequently as Omegas, some have it only once every six months, or even once a year. When Song Jinzhi had lived with Gu Sijiu before, she had never encountered her heat phase, so she naturally didn't know what signs to look for. Just a moment ago, she thought Gu Sijiu was simply drunk.
Now, seeing Gu Sijiu unconsciously approaching her, a sense of fear made Song Jinzhi step back. The closer Gu Sijiu got, the more violently her glands trembled, her heart overflowing with uncontrollable desires for affection and care. The thought of her Alpha approaching flashed through Song Jinzhi's mind, making her legs weak.
"Gu Sijiu, don't come any closer." Song Jinzhi said coldly, trying to maintain her composure despite feeling hot all over. Gu Sijiu moved closer and suddenly hugged her. Alphas in heat have a higher body temperature, second only to the uncontrollable Omegas. Gu Sijiu wrapped around her like a little heater, pressing against her.
Song Jinzhi was grateful for Gu Sijiu's physical defect, otherwise, she would have been disgusted. But disgust was one aspect, her panic didn't diminish at all. Gu Sijiu was in heat, and the loss of control might lead her to mark Song Jinzhi forcefully. As she felt Gu Sijiu's breath slowly moving along her neck, Song Jinzhi didn't reject that sensation, it even felt good enough to elicit a response. She was annoyed with herself for being in such a state and found it hard to accept Gu Sijiu's current behavior.
"Song Jinzhi... you... you smell so good... I don't know what's happening, I feel so hot... it's uncomfortable down there." Gu Sijiu unconsciously rubbed her leg against Song Jinzhi's leg, letting out a series of soft, sultry sounds near her ear. The sound made Song Jinzhi's scalp tingle, but not out of disgust, instead, she found Gu Sijiu's voice at that moment somewhat alluring.
To prevent irreparable mistakes, Song Jinzhi exerted all her strength to push Gu Sijiu away, grabbed the stun gun under the pillow, and aimed it at her shoulder, firing a shot. The strong current released by the stun gun caused Gu Sijiu's body and nerves to suddenly go numb, she let out a whimper and lost consciousness, collapsing directly to the ground. Seeing that she lay face down on the floor, Song Jinzhi checked for breath under her nose. Realizing she was still alive, she hurriedly left the room.
She had no intention of checking if Gu Sijiu had injured herself or of kindly helping an Alpha who had just attempted to assault her onto the bed. After all, Alphas were physically robust, lying on the floor for a night wouldn't hurt them. Song Jinzhi went to another guest room, locked the door tightly, and leaned against it, breathing heavily.
Her eyes teared up because of the recent contact with Gu Sijiu. She moved her body slightly and then realized that her own body was reacting as well, she was definitely feeling heated. Song Jinzhi's face flushed red, she wanted to take a suppressant but remembered that they were in her room where Gu Sijiu was lying. No matter what, Song Jinzhi didn't want to risk going back into that room.
She stripped off her clothes and walked into the bathroom, planning to take a cold shower to wash away the heat on her body. She was only stirred up by Gu Sijiu and wasn't truly in heat. The cold water enveloped her body, bringing a refreshing chill that made Song Jinzhi instinctively curl up. She quickly washed the necessary areas until she felt more comfortable before stepping out.
That night, Song Jinzhi was on edge, unable to sleep. The lingering fear in her heart made it difficult for her to rest, and the threat posed by Gu Sijiu only added to her anxiety. She thought not only about tomorrow but also about the future ahead. She knew she had evaded trouble tonight but couldn't escape it forever. Even if Gu Sijiu didn't initiate any relationship with her, their parents would likely pressure them.
Once they got married, they would have to consum.mate their marriage, she would be marked by Gu Sijiu and would end up having children with her. Thinking about these things made Song Jinzhi feel even colder after her cold bath. She curled up and hugged herself, in such moments, this was the only way she could provide herself with some warmth.
Song Jinzhi stayed awake all night, feeling dizzy and nauseous, with tension and exhaustion causing even her stomach to ache. She didn't dare go out, she feared a sudden attack from Gu Sijiu. At that moment, Gu Sijiu, lying on the floor, gradually began to wake up. As she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was pain.
Her entire body ached, especially her head, not only did it hurt inside, but there was also a burning sting outside. Confused, Gu Sijiu realized she wasn't lying on a bed but on the floor of Song Jinzhi's room. She raised her hand to rub her head and accidentally touched a bump on it, causing tears to spring from her eyes due to the pain. Without time to think about anything else, Gu Sijiu quickly got up and stood in front of the mirror.
Her hair was a tangled mess, and on her forehead was a large bump—about 3 centimeters in diameter—red and swollen right on her forehead. Without needing to guess, Gu Sijiu knew exactly who was responsible for it.
