An Omega, apart from being far less physically capable than Alpha, faces the most distress during the monthly heat period. The Omega's heat cycle is regular, for instance, if it occurred on a certain day last month, it would likely happen around the same time the following month. Most Omegas would take leave in advance and seek their partners to hide in their homes or hotels during their heat period. However, Song Jinzhi's usual choice was to take suppressants ahead of time.
She had initially thought about staying at Jing Yu's place to avoid Gu Sijiu during her heat, but unfortunately, Jing Yu had gone on a business trip to the Moon. Song Jinzhi didn't want to impose by staying alone at a friend's house. She had also considered those hotels specifically designed for Omegas during their heat cycles. Such places not only ensured safety but also offered excellent service, but she feared her parents would find out and come looking for her. After thinking it over, Song Jinzhi realized the only place she could stay was Gu Sijiu's home.
"Good morning, Wooden Face." Song Jinzhi came downstairs to get water and unsurprisingly found Gu Sijiu sitting on the couch. The arrival of her heat cycle made Song Jinzhi feel quite irritable, and her mood soured significantly. Especially the feelings of anxiety and unease amplified upon seeing Gu Sijiu, making it hard for her to muster any good humor. Gu Sijiu had been discharged from the hospital for a few months now, and her injuries had long healed. However, ever since her amnesia, she had rarely gone back to the military, only visiting a few times recently and spending most of her time at home. Song Jinzhi hoped Gu Sijiu would have a few things to do and wouldn't just stay home all day.
"Gu Sijiu, I need to talk to you about something." Song Jinzhi said, glancing at the breakfast prepared by the new housekeeper on the table, feeling disappointed and lacking an appetite. The new housekeeper's cooking skills were not as good as those of the previous one. If it had been before, Song Jinzhi could have managed to eat a few bites, but after tasting Gu Sijiu's cooking, her standards for food had inexplicably risen.
"What's wrong? Do you think I look pretty today?" Gu Sijiu asked, straightening her back and flicked her hair as Song Jinzhi walked over. Song Jinzhi certainly noticed that Gu Sijiu had applied a new shade of eyeshadow and lipstick today. The light purple eyeshadow looked striking, paired with her vibrant red lips, making her indeed look beautiful.
"Today is my heat period. I will prepare enough water and nutritional supplements in my room, and I hope you won't disturb me during this time." Song Jinzhi stated plainly. She vaguely felt that this heat period was different from the previous ones. Since moving into Gu Sijiu's house, it wasn't her first time experiencing heat, in the past, she only needed to take suppressants in advance and rest in her room for half a day to get through it.
However, this time, she sensed some alarming signs with her body. Since she got up this morning, her lower abdomen had been in a state of bloating pain, and even her sensitive areas felt swollen due to the heat. Song Jinzhi said this because she had developed some trust in Gu Sijiu. In the past, she had been wary of the unpredictable Gu Sijiu, even though she didn't possess the typical Alpha traits, Song Jinzhi couldn't imagine how that twisted person would treat her during her heat.
Omegas can lose control during their heat periods, and if they have taken suppressants, those will become ineffective if stimulated by an Alpha's pheromones. She feared that Gu Sijiu might try to mark her forcibly, so she was reluctant to be around Gu Sijiu during her heat. Now, however, Gu Sijiu seemed different from before, which eased Song Jinzhi's mind. Even if Gu Sijiu had ulterior motives, she still had a stun gun on hand, and if Gu Sijiu intended to do something to her, Song Jinzhi wouldn't mind fighting back fiercely.
"I see. It must be very uncomfortable for you during your heat period, right?" Gu Sijiu said, feeling a pang of sympathy upon hearing that Song Jinzhi would be in heat for several days. Although she hadn't been in this world for long, she understood that the heat cycle for Omegas was extremely difficult to endure. She imagined that it felt like being under the influence of a super strong aphrodisiac for several days straight. Thinking about it made her feel sorry for the younger girl, and her gaze towards Song Jinzhi became more curious and scrutinizing.
Noticing Gu Sijiu's gaze, Song Jinzhi frowned slightly. She didn't understand what Gu Sijiu meant by those words, did she want to act with Alpha gentlemanly demeanor and say she would accompany her through the heat? If Gu Sijiu really said that, Song Jinzhi would leave immediately.
"I don't think my discomfort has anything to do with you. Just follow what I say and don't disturb me." Song Jinzhi said, grabbing some water as she prepared to go upstairs. Seeing that she planned to rely solely on nutritional supplements for a few days, Gu Sijiu thought for a moment and quickly got up to head to the kitchen. She took out some ingredients and quickly made some pastries and braised meat that could be stored, along with soup in a thermos.
After preparing these, Gu Sijiu sent a message to Song Jinzhi, asking if she could bring her some food. After a long wait, she finally received a simple "Mm" in response. Upon seeing this brief reply, Gu Sijiu felt that the Song Jinzhi in heat was like a woman suffering from menstrual cramps—irritable and easily angered, too lazy to argue about anything. She carried the prepared food upstairs and gently knocked on the door, which opened slightly. Looking at Song Jinzhi, who hadn't fully opened the door, Gu Sijiu caught a faint whiff of hibiscus scent from inside the room, indicating that Song Jinzhi's body had already started to react.
"Remember to eat if you're hungry. I'll leave it by the door, you can bring it in later." Gu Sijiu said, still showing concern for Song Jinzhi. As a woman herself, even though she had never taken aphrodisiacs, just thinking about the insatiable desire lasting several days gave her a phantom pain in her lower body. Halfway down the stairs, Gu Sijiu couldn't help but shiver, she felt relieved not to be an Omega herself, or she might truly feel suffocated.
After delivering the food, Gu Sijiu left, which relieved Song Jinzhi. The signs of her body heating up indicated that her heat period had begun. Song Jinzhi had taken her suppressants early and was waiting for her heat to stabilize before it ended. Generally, this process only took about a day, so she hadn't planned on bringing much food upstairs.
She hadn't expected Gu Sijiu would specifically prepare food for her. Looking at the exquisite pastries and braised meat on the table filled her with complex emotions. She couldn't quite understand what Gu Sijiu wanted or intended to do now. Could amnesia really change someone's personality so drastically? Had she even forgotten the most basic instincts of an Alpha? Song Jinzhi pondered this but soon felt too uncomfortable physically to think any further. She set the food aside and lay down on the bed, enduring her body's heat and discomfort.
Song Jinzhi initially thought she could get through this heat period without any issues, but some things always exceed expectations. After injecting the suppressants, instead of calming down, her body showed increasingly intense signs of heat. Furrowing her brows tightly, she didn't understand what was happening. Clearly, the suppressants were taking effect, yet her body's overwhelming desire seemed to be swallowing up the effects of the medication entirely.
So hot... This heat wasn't an external warmth but rather a sensation bubbling up from within her body. She could distinctly feel her sensitive areas responding eagerly, desperately seeking something that could soothe them. She needed... something to fill that longing.
"Ah..." Song Jinzhi curled up in discomfort, gripping the bedsheet tightly as she trembled. She injected another dose of suppressants into herself, however, they only worked for a few minutes before being overwhelmed by an even stronger wave of desire. The first thought that crossed Song JinzhI's mind was that the suppressor had failed. She knew that during intense heat periods, Omegas experienced extreme cravings for ma.ting, and at such times, the effectiveness of the suppressants would significantly decreased. However, she didn't understand why this was happening to her, especially since such situations typically only occurred when one had a partner, why... why was she feeling such overwhelming desire.
At this moment, Song Jinzhi's Omega heat reached its peak, and felt as if she might melt away into a puddle of warm water. She was on the verge of being consumed by this burning sensation, her skin, her blo.od, everything about her were being scorched. Unable to control herself, Song Jinzhi tore off her clothes, scattering them on the floor, her hands trembling as she tried to relieve the unbearable pain in that sensitive area. She ruthlessly twisted her flesh into various shapes, pulling at sensitive area, thinking that this might bring some relief, but the emptiness in her body only intensified, as the desire surged painfully.
"So hot... it hurts... it really hurts..." Song Jinzhi gasped, her voice strained as she pressed against her sensitive area through the thin fabric of her clothing. Her hand quickly found its way there, and the warmth of her palm against the area provided some slight relief. She tilted her head back, her long hair sprawled across the bed, desperately rubbing that area.
However, the physical relief did not calm her down, she knew that her rationality was gradually slipping away. Just this kind of touch was far from enough. Thinking about this made Song Jinzhi bite down on the bedsheet in pain. She was on the verge of breaking down, both her body and mind were tormenting her willpower. At this moment, the person who could help her was was right outside.
Gu Sijiu... Gu Sijiu... Song Jinzhi silently repeated this name in her mind. For the first time, she realized how much heat could torment a person to such an unbearable state. She knew that if she couldn't hold back and sought out Gu Sijiu now, she could only imagine what would happen next. She might end up with her on the bed and be marked by that Alpha. Everything about this was something Song Jinzhi did not want to see or do, but... she was reaching her limit.
"Help me, I feel so uncomfortable, I can't take it anymore." Song Jinzhi's voice was hoarse and strained, and her entire body turning a faint pink due to the heat. Her eyes glistened with moisture, and the corners were red from holding back tears. Song Jinzhi decided to use up all three remaining suppressants. If they worked, they would also cause significant harm to her body. If these suppressants didn't work, she would have no choice but to endure these few days in silence.
Song Jinzhi gritted her teeth and injected all the remaining suppressants into her body, trembling as she curled up, pleading for the suppressants to take effect. Unfortunately, the heat came on too strong and too fast, no amount of suppressants could suppress the overwhelming desire. She felt pain coursing through her entire body and stumbled out of bed, unsteadily making her way into the bathroom, where she lay in a bathtub filled with cold water.
The pain from the heat was temporarily alleviated as Song Jinzhi lay there exhausted and weak, gradually slipping into unconsciousness. However, she was soon awakened by the restless stirring within her body. I can't take this anymore, Song Jinzhi thought in despair, managing a sad, bitter smile. She hugged herself while sitting in the water, wishing she could just pass out, it would be much better than continuing to endure this torment.
Sadly, she couldn't truly faint, even if she did lose consciousness, the desire would still pull her back. At that moment, Song Jinzhi felt as if she had gone mad. Wrapping a towel around herself carelessly, she opened the door with a dazed expression. Initially, all she could smell was her own scent, but upon opening the door, another scent became particularly clear. It was a faint scent of mint mixed with refreshing lemon—just smelling it made her desire intensify.
This scent belonged to Gu Sijiu's pheromones—the only thing that could save her. She... she belonged to her, she was her Alpha. This thought flashed repeatedly in her mind as Song Jinzhi followed that irresistible scent and opened Gu Sijiu's door. The person on the bed was already asleep, but her flushed cheeks indicated that she too was being awakened by the heat. Song Jinzhi thought she had enough willpower to resist, but she had overestimated herself.
Upon seeing her Alpha, all of Song Jinzhi's restraint shattered. The overwhelming desire surged through her body, flowing down from her sensitive area. Song Jinzhi climbed onto the bed and pressed herself against Gu Sijiu.
"Gu Sijiu... help me... I feel so uncomfortable... please help me."
