Gu Sijiu sat on Song Jinzhi's bed, carefully recalling what had happened last night. She had drunk some alcohol in the afternoon, and with her tolerance, she shouldn't have had any issues. However, after drinking, she felt an intense heat in her body, which became even more pronounced when she saw Song Jinzhi return. Gu Sijiu knew that Alphas had heat periods and had read about them in the original host's memories, Alpha heat was rare, and she hadn't expected to encounter it so soon after arriving.
To be honest, the experience of being in heat was not pleasant. The feeling of her body being controlled by desire made Gu Sijiu feel like an animal, only aware of following her body's instincts. Although she was angry that Song Jinzhi had hit her and made her sleep on the floor, Gu Sijiu was also relieved that Song Jinzhi had knocked her out, preventing any further inti.macy between them.
After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Sijiu glanced at Song Jinzhi's bed, sniffed the lingering scent in the room. This room should have been filled with Song Jinzhi's smell, but her own presence had masked it over the day. Gu Sijiu didn't linger, pushed the door open, and returned to her room. After freshening up, she massaged her aching body before heading downstairs.
There was no one downstairs, only two breakfast plates set on the table by the housekeeper. Gu Sijiu sat down on one side and waited for about twenty minutes before Song Jinzhi finally came down. Her steps were light and slow, as if she were afraid of startling something. The person Song Jinzhi was wary of was none other than Gu Sijiu. She had stayed in that room for a long time, even risking being late for work rather than coming out.
Song Jinzhi was uncertain whether Gu Sijiu was still in heat after a night's rest. She had injured Gu Sijiu last night, and it was possible that Gu Sijiu might retaliate upon waking up. Preparing for various bad outcomes, Song Jinzhi placed the stun gun in her coat pocket and walked downstairs. As soon as she reached the bottom, she encountered Gu Sijiu's frowning expression.
Seeing Song Jinzhi, Gu Sijiu flipped her hair back to deliberately expose the bump on her head. Noticing her action, Song Jinzhi pursed her lips but maintained a calm demeanor. "I did hit you, but I believe it was the best way to handle the situation. You said before that you wouldn't touch me, didn't you?" There was no hint of guilt in Song Jinzhi's words. Gu Sijiu understood that strictly speaking, this incident stemmed from her own oversight regarding her heat period. Logically, Song Jinzhi was not at fault. After thinking for a moment, Gu Sijiu waved her hand to indicate that they should let it go.
Song Jinzhi hadn't expected Gu Sijiu to be easily appeased, and she finally felt relieved. Sipping on her energizing coffee in front of her, her headache still made her appear pale and haggard. The anxiety of the previous night along with stomach pain left her feeling miserable now. She had little appetite, even though she knew she needed to eat something given her current state, she truly couldn't stomach anything.
"What did I look like when I was in heat last night?" Gu Sijiu suddenly asked. Hearing this question made Song Jinzhi glance up at her, she saw Gu Sijiu cradling her face with both hands as if reminiscing about last night's events. As for what Gu Sijiu looked like during heat, Song Jinzhi hadn't paid attention, she only remembered that Gu Sijiu's scent had been more enticing than usual and had made it harder for her to resist.
Upon seeing that Song Jinzhi did not respond, Gu Sijiu was too lazy to continue pressing for an answer. She didn't recall her own actions from last night, instead, she remembered how Song Jinzhi had appeared. Gu Sijiu could still remember how good Song Jinzhi smelled, especially when she was close. That scent became even more intoxicating after she drew near. Song Jinzhi's pheromones carried a light scent of hibiscus, which intensified, becoming more alluring and making Gu Sijiu uncontrollably drawn to her. Images of Song Jinzhi's moist eyes and blushing cheeks, looking somewhat timidly at herself, flashed through Gu Sijiu's mind. She felt a tickling sensation in her heart because Song Jinzhi from last night was undeniably attractive.
"If you smiled more, you would probably look even more beautiful. But you still fall short compared to me. If I were an Omega, I would probably be quite popular." The latter half of Gu Sijiu's statement was filled with narcissism. She gently touched her own delicate face, imagining in her mind what it would be like if her body were not an Alpha but an Omega.
She would surely emanate an incredibly seductive scent. Her pheromones would smell better than any Omega's, irresistible to any Alpha who caught a whiff. With her proud figure, dressed in a fiery red dress, slightly parted lips, she would have Alphas at her feet. Gu Sijiu daydreamed about all this, her expression becoming extremely coquettish. When Song Jinzhi saw her licking the little spoon she used to stir her milk, her expression froze. Then she glanced at the swollen bump on Gu Sijiu's head and fell silent.
Seeing Song Jinzhi's lack of response, Gu Sijiu snapped back to reality from her fantasies. She lowered her head, looking at the original owner's somewhat barren chest, furrowing her brows in discomfort. This action aggravated the bump on her head, causing her to shudder in pain. Gu Sijiu knew that no matter how much she wished for those good things, it wouldn't change the fact that she was an Alpha. Moreover, this body had its flaws, she wasn't very tall, and her style wouldn't be favored by those Omegas.
Most female Omegas preferred handsome Alphas, but she just liked wearing dresses. Gu Sijiu furrowed her brows, knowing well that the original owner was very conscious of her height. She once tried on the original owner's boots out of curiosity and found out they had hidden heel lifts, adding ten centimeters to her height, leaving Gu Sijiu speechless, prompting her to put all of the original owner's shoes away.
"If you're okay, I'm off to work now." Song Jinzhi said, not intending to waste any more time. Despite feeling unwell, she had an important meeting at the company today and didn't want to use her condition as an excuse to take time off, as that would only fuel more talk about Omegas being unsuitable for work.
Gu Sijiu responded with an "oh," pondering how to reduce the swelling on her head while looking in the mirror. Song Jinzhi glanced at her, thinking about the anti-swelling ointment in her room. She realized she could just mention it casually, but the words felt stuck in her throat, making it hard for her to speak. After holding back for a while, she ultimately turned and left. Song Jinzhi found it strange, why did she always feel awkward whenever she wanted to express kindness towards Gu Sijiu?
When Song Jinzhi arrived at the company, a flood of tasks quickly overwhelmed her. Since she had arrived late, many things needed urgent attention. She spent the entire morning busy in her office and only realized that she had missed lunchtime. Her neck hurt from maintaining the same position for too long, and to make matters worse, the sharp pain in her stomach was much more intense than in the morning.
"Jennifer, can you help me buy some porridge and stomach medicine and bring it up? Also, make sure none of the other colleagues at the company see it." Song Jinzhi opened the communicator and spoke softly, noticing that her voice sounded somewhat hoarse, and her throat was sore. Jennifer quickly brought the items up, glancing at Song Jinzhi's complexion with a hint of worry.
"General Song, you don't seem well. Shouldn't you take a sick leave to rest?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor issue. The afternoon meeting is important. Instruct the team to proceed as usual." Song Jinzhi whispered as she sipped on the hot porridge in front of her. Jennifer couldn't persuade her any further and decided not to say more.
After Jennifer left, Song Jinzhi hurriedly put down the spoon and rushed to the restroom to vomit. She had only managed to eat a little bit of the porridge before throwing it all up. Song Jinzhi brushed her teeth but had no appetite to eat anything else. Exhausted, she lay down on the couch, hoping to rest a bit during this lunch break.
Throughout the entire afternoon meeting, Song Jinzhi forced herself to endure. She drank two bottles of nutritional supplements, which helped her feel less fatigued, but after the long meeting, her body could no longer hold up. As she struggled to walk out of the company, she felt so unwell that she curled up in the car. She knew her condition wasn't good, yet at that moment, she couldn't find anyone to take care of her.
Jing Yu was on a business trip and very busy, and her parents would likely worry about her being sick, suggesting she shouldn't go to work because she was an Omega. Song Jinzhi didn't want to create such trouble, even though she felt unwell, she wanted to push through it on her own. She got out of the car and returned home, but the short distance felt incredibly long, as if just pushing open the door had drained all her energy.
Looking around the living room and not seeing Gu Sijiu, Song Jinzhi felt a slight sense of loss. It seemed that even a sick person could become emotionally fragile, as Song Jinzhi unexpectedly felt a bit disappointed that the person wasn't there. Despite not wanting to admit it, she hoped that someone could take care of her a little, even if that person was the annoying Gu Sijiu.
Supporting herself against the wall, Song Jinzhi made her way upstairs, planning to take some medicine in her room and get some rest. The staircase seemed particularly long at that moment, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead, forming small beads that fell on the steps. Song Jinzhi looked up and saw a blurry figure standing opposite her, but before she could respond, she completely lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, she felt herself falling into a soft embrace. Although it wasn't expansive, it provided a great sense of comfort, and the scent was very soothing.
