Day two of the rut is particularly intense. Not even a few hours after Wei Xiu finally gets some relief, another strong wave of reactions hits.
Mrs. Wei is an omega, so Wei Xiu’s pheromones completely startle her. She rushes a group of people to Wei Xiu. She can’t let Xu Yunchun prevail this time.
Mrs. Wei: “If your rut is here, then why didn’t you say anything?”
Wei Xiu: “I’m fine, there’s no need for you to worry.”
Wei Xiu looks calm, but the wave of pheromones emitting from his body don’t lie. Mrs. Wei: “Stop forcing yourself, I have some people here to help you through it.”
Mrs. Wei brought two omegas with her, one male one female. Wei Xiu immediately backs up, his pheromones are at peak sensitivity.
Right then, Xu Yunchun steps up to protect him: “No need. I’ll take care of the young master.”
Mrs. Wei continues, not sparing him a glance: “I considered the fact that you may like betas, so I found two of them as well. They’ll take care of you. Is this to your liking?”
Wei Xiu’s expression immediately changes: “What kind of person do you take me for?”
–
Mrs. Wei is being serious. She has a few bodyguards push the omegas and betas into Wei Xiu’s room.
Wei Xiu had been holding out through sheer willpower, but now that he smells the omegas’ scent, he can’t stop his whole body from shaking in utter disgust.
Right as the alpha starts to feel hopeless, Xu Yunchun grabs his hand.
It was just like the years of their past lives where they depended on each other, where he protected Xu Yunchun and Xu Yunchun protected him. They can only rely on each other
The two’s eyes meet and, through their unbeatable synergy, Wei Xiu instinctively covers his nose and mouth. At the same time, with just one hand of movement, Xu Yunchun releases a drug into the crowd.
Once again, Xu Yunchun whisks Wei Xiu away.
–
Xu Yunchun brings Wei Xiu to a remote cottage.
Wei Xiu: “Where is this?”
Xu Yunchun: “It’s a house I’m renting.”
Before Wei Xiu’s reincarnation, Xu Yunchun rented this house. Actually, he also rented another place at the time – the place where he had kept Fake Wei Xiu that was later found out by the Wei family. So now, this place is the only remaining stronghold.
“I originally wanted to give it to you as a birthday present after fixing it up, but I was lazy.” Xu Yunchun admits, “You can clean it up yourself later, young master.”
Wei Xiu: “…fine.”
–
Wei Xiu enters the cottage, then immediately steps back out.
“What’s that smell?”
“Smell?” Xu Yunchun can’t smell anything, but it doesn’t take long for him to understand, “could it be Shen Xi’s pheromones? Shen Xi was living here for a while.”
Back when Fake Wei Xiu was harassing Shen Xi, Xu Yunchun had Shen Xi move into this place. There must be leftover pheromones from that time.
Wei Xiu, shaking: “I don’t want to smell anyone else’s scent!”
Xu Yunchun hurries to open the windows. With osmanthus flowers planted outside all over the property, their scent drifts into the building with the blow of the wind. Only then does the young alpha finally enter the cottage.
–
Wei Xiu is in pain.
Restless, Xu Yunchun tries to reassure him: “Young master, I bought some omega scent spray. Why don’t you try and use some?”
“No!”
“It’s made in a lab, not a real person’s scent. Just try it out!”
Wei Xiu shakes his head again: “It won’t just stop at one time…”
Xu Yunchun understands what he’s getting at. This type of scent spray can truly only be effective a few times. After a while it will no longer have an effect on the alpha in question. But even so, he can’t bear to see Wei Xiu in such discomfort.
“Young master, don’t be so stubborn!” Xu Yunchun is on the brink of tears.
“It’s fine…” Wei Xiu continues to reassure him, “get out all of your little instruments, I can bear them.”
With no other choice, Xu Yunchun takes out the set of things he used to deal with Fake Wei Xiu. He locks Wei Xiu in a cage and puts a muzzle on him.
Wei Xiu’s voice trembled: “Tie up my legs and arms too.”
Xu Yunchun silently obeys the command as he ties Wei Xiu down. But, in the end, he leaves his right hand free.
Wei Xiu stares at him as he watches him leave the metal cage, then reach his hand through the bars. The two are separated by a cage, their hands practically sealed together.
Wei Xiu spends the night in incessant agony. A few times he releases his hold afraid to hurt Xu Yunchun. But Xu Yunchun refused to let go, even with several bloody marks left by Wei Xiu’s nailS, he never released his hold.
