Chapter 36.2

Rong Jing took out the phone that he still managed to bring with him despite the panic a while ago. He sent a WeChat message to Zhou Xiang: Would it be painful for an Omega to use an inhibitor during their heat?

Zhou Xiang, the omnipotent encyclopedia, replied: Painful. So painful to death. You see, the heat of a person is a normal physiological phenomenon. Now if you use an inhibitor, aren’t you forcibly suppressing it? How can it not be painful? There are also a lot of side effects after using it, like heat disorder, heat pains, and many more.

Rong Jing: What if you use a lot at once?

Zhou Xiang: That’s like looking for death. It may produce stress. Worse comes to worst, you might have to go to a hospital.

And with that, Rong Jing realized that Gu Xi’s current situation was serious. He pulled his hair, frustrated. In order to calm himself down quickly, he decided to call his brother, Xie Ling, and asked, “Brother, the interior design of the house is so good. Who’s the designer?”

Xie Ling was currently in the nursing home where Father Xie lives. Father Xie was ventilator dependent. He had his eyes closed and would rarely wake up. 

The thing that happened between him and Xie Jisheng caused him to miss the old man. It had put him in a bad mood. He decided to leave work and came to visit him. He leaned against the old man’s bed in silence.

He had especially put his phone on silent mode¹Raw says airplane mode but I don’t think people can reach you with that mode on, and only those that were in his whitelist could call him. He had set a special ringtone for his brother and knew right away that he was calling.

The message stated that a user with the number 32908477xxxxxx had matched his pheromones with more than 80% compatibility. He had been asked if he would be willing to have each other’s contact details. A person would only receive such a message if they reach more than 80% compatibility.

Rong Jing recalled that the original owner was taken by the Xie family to the matching center to register, laying the groundwork for finding a partner in the future. After all, there are more Alphas than Omegas in this world and a lot of Alphas end up living alone.

Back in the feudal times in this world, pheromones forced matching had been a tradition. The more compatible two persons were, the more likely it was to have a forced marriage. It could be compared to the matchmakers ordered by parents back in the ancient times of Rong Jing’s former world.

However, now that they are in the modern era, pheromones aren’t the only thing used to measure compatibility, but also the feelings of the people involved.

A number of Omegas now have become more open minded. They expect respect from their partners. They do not want to get married or have children, they do not want to be held back by their pheromones. 

Still, a lot of people still think that only an Alpha-Omega compatible couple could give birth to the healthiest baby. It would also be easier for them to get through each other’s heat. Thus, most people are still willing to have their compatibility checked with other people, meet in real life and get to know each other.

If the pheromones come from a particularly extraordinary Omega, they could match with a lot of people, not one less than him.

Rong Jing thought for a moment, but refused to disclose his details.

His life was already in a mess. He wouldn’t have the time to meet a new omega. This was just looking for trouble himself. He then suddenly thought of something. It seems like Xie Ling liked putting something in all the properties under his name, including that!

Rong Jing opened the door almost immediately and listened to his surroundings, waiting to hear a sound from the bathroom, making sure that Gu Xi was still there. However, it seemed like he hadn’t continued his bath after all.

Rong Jing took a deep breath and went to the utility room.

Gu Xi was still in the bathroom. He has maintained his posture even after Rong Jing left in a panic. He had no face to show now to Rong Jing.

His mind was in a haze when the incident happened, and he was being temporarily dominated by the other guy inside him. When his consciousness came back, what he had done came back all at once. By then, he had already realized how crazy he had acted and what he had done to Rong Jing.

Gu Xi, now having a breakdown, asked, Are you out of your damn mind? How could you just touch him like that? You don’t deserve him at all!

Another voice inside answered, Then who deserves him? You? You also think you don’t deserve him, right?

Gu Xi’s eyes reddened, Touch him again and you’re dead.

The voice replied once more, But I am you. I’m just the embodiment of your heart’s desire. You know best yourself what you really want to do. I’m just here to help you realize it. What are you so afraid of?

Gu Xi was rendered speechless, his mouth full of bitterness. He couldn’t even justifiably refute the voice inside him.

After his parents left one after another, both him and his siblings were adopted by different relatives. His aunt took him in. The first few days were peaceful, until his uncle’s way of looking at him changed for the worse. On a day when his aunt went on a business trip, his uncle took this chance and rushed to his room…

He desperately tried to escape but had nowhere to go, and so he wandered around, eating food from the trash can, sleeping inside the trash can. During those days, another voice in his body inadvertently woke up. 

Gu Xi knew that there was probably something wrong with him. Very wrong. But there was nothing he could do about it.

I’m sorry, Rong Jing…

Gu Xi curled up on the floor, his expression looking very cold. However, the bathroom floor was opened once again, and a heavily armed man appeared.

Rong Jing was wearing a gas mask. He looked at the person inside the bathroom, who might have stayed unmoved for already half an hour. 

Gu Xi looked at the person in front of him blankly.

A gas mask?!

Poisonous.

He thinks I’m poisonous.

Isn’t he kinda overreacting?
