Gu Sijiu had had 'love' dreams before. As a mature and healthy woman, it's quite normal for such dreams to occur. However, in the past, her dreams lacked clear entities, most of the time, she found herself alone in a blank room, experiencing a mysterious sense of contentment. But this time, there was an incredibly clear figure in her dream—Song Jinzhi.

The Song Jinzhi in her dream was entirely different from reality. She didn't speak coldly or wear a wooden expression, instead, she smiled beautifully. She was as passionate as a torch, burning herself from the outside while remaining tender inside. She pressed down on Gu Sijiu, exploring her body in ways that made Gu Sijiu tremble with pleasure, so much so that when she woke up, a certain part of her body was still trembling in delight.

After the lingering sensations faded from her body, Gu Sijiu stared blankly at the empty room, slowly releasing her legs that had been clutching the blanket. The dampness between her legs was very apparent, and the embarrassing slickness made her recall the intimate feelings from last night with Song Jinzhi. The more she thought about it, the stronger the warning signals in her mind grew.

Last night, Song Jinzhi had smelled incredibly enticing, the feeling of leaning against her chest was soft, completely different from a hard-bodied man. Song Jinzhi, with her wooden face and sharp tongue, wasn't as beautiful as herself. As Gu Sijiu mentally berated Song Jinzhi, the phrase "making love" suddenly leapt out from her thoughts, causing her fair cheeks to flush crimson.

"Song Jinzhi, you really are a troublemaker." Gu Sijiu lamented, covering her face with a pillow and kicking her legs under the covers in frustration. Despite her actions, the heat on her skin refused to dissipate. Gu Sijiu felt like she was done for. She, a straight woman, was showing signs of bending in this strange world...

Throughout the morning, Gu Sijiu pondered her se.xual orientation. She lay in bed for a long time until her stomach growled from hunger, prompting her to slowly get out of bed, freshen up, and go downstairs for breakfast. At the dining table, Song Jinzhi was already seated, sipping half a cup of coffee. Gu Sijiu spotted her from the staircase, her face turning visibly red at an alarming rate.

Gu Sijiu lowered her head, not daring to look up, fearing that if she saw Song Jinzhi, she would again think of the scenes from her dream and might need to change her underwear yet again. Song Jinzhi, unaware of Gu Sijiu's inner thoughts, noticed that her behavior this morning seemed suspicious. While she used to catch Gu Sijiu looking directly at her before, today it seemed like Gu Sijiu was stealing glances.

Song Jinzhi couldn't be bothered to guess what Gu Sijiu was thinking and simply hoped she wouldn't cause any trouble. As Song Jinzhi reached for the coffee maker as her cup was empty, Gu Sijiu coincidentally extended her hand as well. Gu Sijiu, still not daring to raise her head, failed to notice Song Jinzhi's hand, resulting in their fingertips touching. Gu Sijiu felt the slight chill of Song Jinzhi's fingertips and quickly withdrew her hand like a startled rabbit.

"What are you doing... Really, I don't like drinking coffee so early in the morning, it's bitter and lacks nutrition. Only someone with a wooden face like you would enjoy this." Gu Sijiu said nervously as she turned to the kitchen to find some juice. Once she was out of Song Jinzhi's sight, she touched her burning face, feeling utterly embarrassed, all because of Song Jinzhi. With mixed emotions, she walked back out, and just as she sat down, she noticed Song Jinzhi frowning.

For an Omega, an Alpha's pheromones are a very noticeable presence, especially during the Alpha's restless periods when their scent becomes particularly strong. Most Alphas experience a period of se.xual restlessness in the morning, during which they are very sensitive and crave the touch of an Omega. Song Jinzhi looked complexly at Gu Sijiu across the table, not expecting such a strong scent to emanate from her after a quick trip to the kitchen, she didn't need to guess what was on Gu Sijiu's mind.

Song Jinzhi had thought that Gu Sijiu didn't have the typical troubles of most Alphas in that regard, after all, her body was not complete, but now it seemed she had been mistaken.

Even without the typical Alpha anatomy, Gu Sijiu was undoubtedly an Alpha. It was truly nauseating to have such a strong scent emanating from her in the morning at the dining table.

"Can't you restrain yourself a bit? Your scent is unpleasant." Song Jinzhi said quietly, turning away from Gu Sijiu as she headed upstairs. Hearing this, Gu Sijiu froze in the middle of eating, her sandwich dropping from her hand as she hurriedly sniffed her own scent. She had just showered and used a fragrant body wash—how could she have an odor? Even if she did, it should be pleasant!

Gu Sijiu, who was a clean freak, was very concerned about this, as in the past, everyone would have found her scent pleasant. But just now, Song Jinzhi said she smelled bad. Why didn't she notice it herself? Did the original owner have body odor? This thought spiraled in Gu Sijiu's mind, instantly killing her appetite as she pondered whether she should take another shower.

Back in her room, Song Jinzhi was unaware of Gu Sijiu's worries. She sat on the couch, the scent of Gu Sijiu no longer lingering around, but the glands at the back of her neck were still slowly retracting at a barely noticeable pace. She had lied, Gu Sijiu's scent wasn't unpleasant at all—it was actually richer and more intense than last night. It was fresh with a hint of sweetness that any Omega would find delightful, herself included.

Gu Sijiu's pheromones lingered in the air, and Song Jinzhi's body craved more of that scent, her Omega instincts reacted to it. It smelled so good, and she wanted to be close—this was her Alpha. Such a bizarre thought emerged in her mind, making Song Jinzhi feel a growing dislike for herself. If she hadn't hurried to cover her nose, she might have been swept away by that scent.

Thinking about all of this, Song Jinzhi felt troubled. She wasn't sure if it was because they had been spending more time together lately, but she felt that Gu Sijiu's scent had changed. Previously, resisting Gu Sijiu's scent hadn't been difficult, just thinking of her actions and unpleasant behavior would make her feel disgusted, and consequently, which extended to her scent. But lately, Gu Sijiu really did smell enticing.

Song Jinzhi felt that her heat period must be approaching, or perhaps it was because she had been staying at home for too long, resulting in too much free time and leading to these messy thoughts. She wished she could go back to work. Thinking back to the busy days at work, she actually missed that feeling, but she understood that after the wedding was set, she would have to get through Gu Sijiu first. Just thinking about it was frustrating...

In the afternoon, Shan Ni'er came to visit. She was Gu Sijiu's adjutant and was responsible for bringing military information and documents. When she arrived today, she saw Gu Sijiu looking at something on the holographic computer. Shan Ni'er walked closer and discovered that Gu Sijiu was searching for ways to avoid physical contact after Alpha and Omega got married. Unfortunately, such a thing didn't exist, so there were no answers.

"Major General, what are you looking at?" 

"Oh, you're here. I was just wondering how Alphas and Omegas should get along after marriage." Gu Sijiu didn't want Shan Ni'er to know about her relationship with Song Jinzhi. She put away the holographic computer, completely unaware that Shan Ni'er had seen what she was looking at.

"Major General, there isn't a single Alpha and Omega that can coexist peacefully. Not to mention married couples, even unmarried Alphas and Omegas can't guarantee they won't develop any relationships." 

"Why?" Gu Sijiu asked in confusion. She hadn't figured out many things about this world, especially regarding pheromones.

Upon hearing her question, a hint of surprise flashed in Shan Ni'er's eyes. She remembered that every Alpha should have studied professional courses, so why was the Major showing such a complete lack of understanding? Sensing Shan Ni'er's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Sijiu vaguely felt that she had asked the wrong question and quickly tried to correct herself.

"Shan Ni'er, I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question. I had a head injury in that car accident, and I lost a lot of my memories." Gu Sijiu thought that claiming amnesia was a clever way to explain things, and anything the original owner had said would be unconditionally believed by Shan Ni'er.

"I'm sorry, Major General. I shouldn't have doubted you." Shan Ni'er quickly apologized and then began to explain about pheromones and heats. When she mentioned that Omegas go into heat every month and that an Omega's heat would also affect an Alpha, Gu Sijiu felt overwhelmed. She finally understood why her comment about not touching Song Jinzhi yesterday had surprised the other woman so much—she must have thought Gu Sijiu was a fool, right?

"Major General, are you alright?" After her explanation, Shan Ni'er saw Gu Sijiu looking regretful and hesitating, wondering if she had said something wrong.

"It's nothing... Shan Ni'er, is there no other way to resist heat periods? Omegas have suppressants, so Alphas must have them too, right?"

"Major General, Alphas also have specific suppressants, but using them can lead to severe side effects, so most Alphas avoid them." Shan Ni'er said, clearly distressed. Alpha heat isn't frequent, and it's rare for Alphas to restrain their desires. After all, having an Alpha endure their cravings and take harmful suppressants isn't nearly as appealing as enjoying a few days with an Omega.

"If they exist, that makes things easier. Go buy some Alpha suppressants for me."

"But... Major General..."

"Just go. I know what I'm doing."

Gu Sijiu did care about the health of this body, after all, it belonged to someone else. But now that she was stuck in this situation, she didn't want anything to happen with Song Jinzhi. If she went into heat and couldn't control herself, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? With that thought, she felt that the suppressants were necessary.

Shan Ni'er was efficient, and within an hour, she delivered a box of Alpha-specific suppressants. They were sealed in dry ice and needed to be stored in a refrigerated unit. Gu Sijiu carefully placed the suppressants one by one into the fridge. Just then, as Song Jinzhi walked down to grab something, she happened to see this scene. Though Alphas and Omegas are different, the word "suppressants" was very clear.

Standing there, watching Gu Sijiu happily put the suppressants into the fridge, Song Jinzhi felt a complex mix of emotions. It was definitely rare for an Alpha to buy suppressants. Thinking back to Gu Sijiu's words from last night, Song Jinzhi began to doubt—had Gu Sijiu really decided not to touch her? Or was everything she did just a way to continue deceiving herself?

After watching for a moment, Song Jinzhi turned and left. Gu Sijiu, staring at the suppressants, finally found an answer to her recent inexplicable "wetness" after learning about pheromones and heats. Realizing that her desires were merely influenced by pheromones and not actual attraction to Song Jinzhi, the turmoil in her heart dissipated completely.

She knew it—how could a straight woman like her possibly have se.xual desires for someone like Song Jinzhi, who was so pure and innocent? That kind of thing would absolutely never happen.
