Chapter 21: Why Are the Leads Fighting!
Shen Chi stiffened completely and did not dare turn around at all. But because he did not turn around, what Lu Chenzhou saw was his back—and the extremely glaring bite mark on his snow-white nape.
Emotions surged in those deep eyes. Then he saw that waiter “acting spoiled” as he leaned against Shen Chi. In that instant, pride, restraint, the difference between humans and animals—Lu Chenzhou forgot all of it!
His sharp eyes locked fiercely onto Shen Chi’s nape. Even Lu Chenzhou himself did not realize that his reason was beginning to disappear. His surging pheromones attacked the waiter uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Ye Suxi had just taken an inhibitor, so his heat was not triggered again. But the terrifying pheromones of an S-rank Alpha still made his face turn pale, and his legs went weak against his will, almost forcing him to kneel.
Ye Suxi looked over resentfully.
What a disgusting Alpha.
In one day, Shen Chi had smelled far too many top-tier pheromones. Whether it was Lu Chenzhou or Ye Suxi, both of them were S-rank existences in their respective fields. And so, an accident happened.
He felt the back of his neck begin to heat up slightly. He even smelled a faint, barely noticeable choking scent, like… gunpowder smoke on a battlefield!
The strawberry pheromones on his body were invaded by the gunpowder scent. A bitter aura began to cover it. It was only a faint trace, yet it made Shen Chi stumble.
Ye Suxi could barely protect himself. He had been attacked so badly that he could not move. Seeing Shen Chi sway, he subconsciously wanted to reach out, but another strong hand beat him to it.
Lu Chenzhou clasped Shen Chi’s slender waist with one hand. Seeing the abnormal blush on his face, his pupils trembled, and he flew into a rage. “Shen Chi, did you drink?”
His cold, stern face seemed wrapped in icy air. Ye Suxi endured the terrifying pheromones and raised his head provocatively. “Sir, you’re hurting my guest.”
At first, it had only been simple pheromone suppression. But Ye Suxi’s words made Lu Chenzhou explode instantly.
Overwhelming pheromones thickened to the point of almost becoming a hunt. His sharp, cold gaze instantly locked onto Ye Suxi. Lu Chenzhou looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man.
“What do you think you are?”
Ye Suxi looked gently at Shen Chi in his arms. Both of them ignored Shen Chi’s strange state at the moment. Pressed down by the top S-rank pheromones, Ye Suxi could no longer think properly. He could only tell that Shen Chi was resisting him.
“Then who are you to this guest?”
He thought of how Shen Chi had said he had a partner, and also how he had said many people had bitten his neck before.
Ye Suxi curled his lips mockingly. “Are you his husband?”
One sentence wounded the enemy by a thousand and himself by eight hundred.
Lu Chenzhou’s cold, handsome face seemed covered in frost. His eyes were gloomy and chilling, and his pheromones surged like a tide, as if he wanted to crush someone to death.
Ye Suxi could not withstand it and took a step back. If this continued, his inhibitor would lose effect.
He unhappily touched the back of his neck. No Omega could resist such terrifying Alpha pheromones. Ye Suxi knew that if he continued provoking him, he would undoubtedly be seeking death.
Just then, Shen Chi suddenly caught onto the key point.
He did not know what was wrong with him or why the back of his neck felt a little hot, but he always remembered his character setting and mission.
“What husband?”
“He’s not!”
He hurriedly denied it, as if afraid someone would misunderstand. His voice even grew a little louder.
Hearing this, Ye Suxi suddenly laughed.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Chenzhou. So this frightening S-rank Alpha was the same as him.
He said nothing. Shen Chi was afraid the protagonist shou would misunderstand. His round eyes were open wide, and his usually cool eyes were now misted with beautiful moisture.
“Don’t misunderstand. He’s my boss.” Just after he finished speaking, the hand gripping his waist suddenly tightened. Shen Chi was pinched painfully and hissed, then hurriedly moved his hands, trying to pry Lu Chenzhou’s hand away.
At this point, Ye Suxi was already very satisfied.
At least Mr. Shen’s partner was not this troublesome Alpha.
“I understand, Mr. Shen. Don’t worry. Your health isn’t good, so go home and rest soon.”
Shen Chi was almost moved to tears. Look at the male lead shou. How considerate and understanding.
“He really isn’t my partner.” Before leaving, Shen Chi did not forget to repeat it once more.
The smile on Ye Suxi’s face grew even wider, while the Betas at the bar entrance were about to go crazy.
Lu Chenzhou was releasing pheromones like a madman, throwing the bar into complete chaos. The Alphas inside were almost being crushed to their knees by him, while the Omegas were nearing collapse.
Lu Chenzhou’s friends had not expected something like this to happen either. Most of them, like Lu Chenzhou, were Alphas. However, their ranks were not too low. Although they were not S-rank, they were still A-rank.
They were not at the point of kneeling, but they did not feel good either.
However, compared with feeling unwell, they were more horrified and curious. Just what kind of person could make Lu Chenzhou lose control?
Pairs of eyes secretly looked at the little secretary in his arms. Lu Chenzhou’s hostility surged violently, almost strangling them.
Shen Chi was wrapped in the smell of gunpowder smoke. The rich, bitter aura made him dizzy, and the back of his neck sent out waves of strange sensations, like hot water washing over it. He felt that piece of skin had become burning hot.
“System, did they bite me broken or something?”
“Why do I feel like my neck is starting to heat up too?”
The system had been lying flat for so long that it had long lost much professional ability. Hearing this, it did not react much and simply explained, [Some more sensitive Betas, when impacted by S-rank pheromones, may experience a pseudo-heat. It’s not a big problem. We just need to stay farther away.]
Shen Chi knew nothing about this world. He only knew some of the most basic things, like susceptible periods and heat. Anything more than that, he did not know. After all, he was only a Beta, so there was no need to understand too much.
“Brother Lu, your pheromones are out of control! Where’s your inhibitor?”
His friends’ alarm bells rang loudly. It was rare for them to invite him out, and if something happened, it was not something they could bear.
After being shouted at by them, Shen Chi’s mind finally cleared a little. “President Lu, where’s your inhibitor?”
As expected of the destined pair. Just meeting once could actually hook him so badly that his pheromones lost control.
After sighing inwardly, Shen Chi hurriedly started feeling around Lu Chenzhou’s body.
It was not that he wanted to take advantage of him. He was trying to find where Lu Chenzhou had put his inhibitor.
Soft hands moved all over his body, and Lu Chenzhou’s breathing became disordered.
With ink-dark eyes, he grabbed Shen Chi’s wrist. His voice was hoarse and dangerous. “Secretary Shen, what are you trying to do?”
Shen Chi shouted, “Big brother, your pheromones are out of control! Where’s your inhibitor!”
Lu Chenzhou’s eyes were filled only with his red lips opening and closing. As for what he said…
He did not hear a single word.
“What are you saying?”
That hoarse voice, that wicked gaze—Shen Chi’s heart jumped, and instinctive fear began to rise.
So, he turned his eyes sideways in search of help, hoping someone else could provide an inhibitor.
“You guys, who has an Alpha inhibitor?”
