Chapter 40: Why Are You Lying on Me?
There was not a trace of ambiguity in Shen Chi’s eyes. All there was, was a fight to the death.
If the inhibitor in his hand had been replaced with a knife, Lu Chenzhou would already have been stabbed to death by him.
In his mind, the system seemed to have broken. Other than screaming, there was only more screaming. [Ahhhhhhh!]
After giving up completely, it was as if the broken-window effect had kicked in. His heart, which had just been terrified to the extreme, had instead calmed down.
Shen Chi’s gaze was icy. “Shut up, you screaming chicken!”
The system:!!!
The inhibitor had already been injected, but the guy on top of him was still continuing to gnaw and bite his mouth.
Shen Chi did not feel the atmosphere was charming at all. This mad dog Lu Chenzhou had no sense of restraint. If he had to find a word to describe him, it would be food-guarding.
Right now, Shen Chi was like a meat bone, held in his arms and gnawed and bitten, as if Lu Chenzhou wished he could swallow him whole.
This was not the first time Lu Chenzhou had gone into his susceptible period in front of him. Judging from the previous two times, after the inhibitor was injected, it still took a while before he gradually recovered.
But this time, Shen Chi had no patience. If he kept gnawing, did he still want to keep his mouth or not?
He grabbed Lu Chenzhou’s hair, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Enough.”
When Lu Chenzhou was pulled up by his hair, his narrow eyes were filled with thick displeasure.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Chi almost spat.
How did he still have the nerve to ask what was wrong?
“You’re pressing down on me!” Shen Chi said through gritted teeth. In fact, it was not only that, but he was too thin-skinned to say the other reason out loud.
The inhibitor began to take effect. The terrifying pheromones from earlier eased. Although Shen Chi, as a Beta, could not smell pheromones, he could still sense the human instinct toward danger.
He just had not expected Lu Chenzhou to be this shameless.
Lu Chenzhou actually held him and switched their positions, then said lazily, “Then this is fine. You’re pressing down on me. I don’t mind.”
Shen Chi:?
Indeed, Shen Chi was now lying on top of him, but was that the point?
What he wanted was for Lu Chenzhou to let go of those dog paws wrapped around him!
When Ji Yanzhi received the notice and rushed over in a panic, he pushed open the door and saw this scene.
First, the overwhelming pheromones forced his legs weak, and with a smack, he knelt on the ground. Then he saw the two of them lying on the sofa, with Lu Chenzhou holding his little secretary as if he were holding some precious treasure. And Ji Yanzhi’s arrival had clearly disturbed his good mood.
As a professional doctor, although the rejection from the S-rank pheromones was extremely obvious, Ji Yanzhi still chose to stay. He only chose a relatively safe distance.
“President Lu.”
Shen Chi’s cheeks flushed. His hand was still gripping Lu Chenzhou’s hair and had not let go. Seeing this, he accidentally pulled a little harder again.
Lu Chenzhou was an Alpha, but at the same time, he was also human. Having his hair yanked like this made his scalp hurt too. “Are you trying to make me bald, Secretary Shen?”
That one “Secretary Shen” made Shen Chi’s expression change. When this guy had gone crazy earlier, he had called him by his full name.
Shen Chi was overjoyed. Knowing that Lu Chenzhou was starting to recover, he then saw Lu Chenzhou suddenly frown.
“Why are you lying on top of me?”
Shen Chi:?
What a perfect case of turning black into white!
Shen Chi laughed in anger and wanted to grab his hair again. “Me? Lying on top of you?”
The large hand that had been clasped around Shen Chi’s waist suddenly loosened. Lu Chenzhou raised his hands in front of him. “Could it be that I’m lying on top of you?”
Sure enough, when people were speechless, they really would laugh.
Shen Chi laughed aloud, almost grinding his molars to pieces.
Lu Chenzhou said, “Secretary Shen, you still haven’t answered me. Why are you lying on top of me?”
Seeing his confused state, Shen Chi took a deep breath and told himself that he was a normal person. He would not argue with this lunatic.
“Did you forget everything that just happened?”
Lu Chenzhou raised a brow. “What should I remember?”
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ji Yanzhi weakly raised a hand. “Secretary Shen, during President Lu’s susceptible period, his mind may become confused, causing partial memory loss. But it’s not a big problem…”
Shen Chi was already angry. Hearing Ji Yanzhi’s explanation made him even angrier.
So because Lu Chenzhou’s mind was confused, he had to be the unlucky one?
“Shut up. Did I ask you?”
Lu Chenzhou also shifted his gaze over. He said nothing, but it was even scarier than if he had.
Ji Yanzhi aggrievedly shrank his large body back. At this moment, he suddenly understood why so many people said, “Convincing someone to study medicine is like being struck by lightning.” As the domineering CEO’s private doctor, he felt his life was so bitter.
After dealing with everyone else, Shen Chi looked at Lu Chenzhou angrily. “You really don’t remember anything?”
Lu Chenzhou clicked his tongue and returned to that cold, sharp-tongued appearance. “I remember a little.”
Once he said that, Shen Chi instead grew nervous. He quickly got off him, and his gaze began to drift.
Although it had been a temporary measure earlier, he had indeed kissed him. If Lu Chenzhou wanted to settle accounts…
“I think I smelled a fruity pheromone scent.” Lu Chenzhou stared at him with deep eyes. If Shen Chi had not been guilty and had instead met his gaze, he would have discovered that Lu Chenzhou’s eyes had not changed much from when he was in his susceptible period.
That terrifying possessiveness, as Shen Chi moved away, was almost approaching the breaking point. Not far away, Ji Yanzhi instantly sensed the problem through the change in pheromones.
As for Shen Chi, because of Lu Chenzhou’s false lie, his lifted heart settled back down.
He was a Beta. He had said it countless times. He had no pheromones. Sure enough, this guy’s pheromones were disordered enough to even get this wrong.
“Oh, fruity? What kind of fruit scent was it?” He perfunctorily followed Lu Chenzhou’s words and asked. There were thousands upon thousands of fruits in the world. Just saying “fruit scent” was far too broad.
Lu Chenzhou stared at him. “A stinky smell.”
Shen Chi had only asked casually, yet he received such an answer. His delicate face nearly cracked.
“Fruit can smell stinky?”
If nothing unexpected happened, the pheromones Lu Chenzhou had mistakenly smelled should have come from him.
But now, what did he say? Stinky?
He, Shen Chi, bathed every day, clean and hygienic. Since when did he have anything to do with stink?
The little secretary looked especially cute when he was ruffled, especially with those slightly swollen red lips. Lu Chenzhou still remembered how they had tasted even now.
Admittedly, Ji Yanzhi had not lied either. During his susceptible period, his memory would indeed become confused, but this time, he was unusually clear-headed.
He clearly remembered how Shen Chi had attacked him with wild fierceness, and even more clearly remembered how he had taken the initiative to kiss him.
The reason he did not say it was simple. Shen Chi would run.
“Durian.” Lu Chenzhou’s Adam’s apple moved. Beneath his greedy gaze, he lied without changing expression. “Very stinky.”
Shen Chi was speechless.
Lu Chenzhou continued, “Did Secretary Shen eat durian before coming here?”
Shen Chi deeply closed his eyes and told himself that this was the person who paid for his food and clothing, and that murder was illegal!
“Yes, I did. I ate a huge one. Would President Lu like some?”
Lu Chenzhou said with disgust, “No.”
Shen Chi no longer wanted to continue this durian topic. Restraining the urge to roll his eyes, he smiled at Ji Yanzhi not far away. “Since Doctor Ji is here, then there’s nothing more for me to do here. Thank you, President Lu, for saving me in the alley earlier. I think I should go back now.”
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze abruptly darkened. His mouth moved one step faster than his brain. More accurately, he panicked.
“Shen Chi, get back here.”
