CH 6

“What’s the matter with your glands?”

Hearing Chu Shaochen’s question, Chi Ning swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, “It can’t release any pheromone.”

“Other than that, it’s pretty normal.”

Chu Shaochen frowned, disheartened by Chi Ning’s indifferent expression.

Omega losing pheromone is tantamount to losing the respect of this society.

In a Federation where pheromone levels are used to evaluate a person’s value, Chi Ning’s lack of pheromones meant that he would be discriminated against, prejudiced, and even become the target of bullying.

How can you not care?

Chu Shaochen was so angry that his throat welled up with blood.

Thinking of what Chi Ning might have gone through, he wished he could send the Chi family’s unscrupulous people to prison.

Some people appear to be wealthy and glamorous on the surface, but they are actually inferior to the so-called “inferior people” in the slums.

“Have you been to the hospital for an examination?”

“Yes, the doctor said it won’t affect my health.”

Chi Ning took the opportunity to eat another strawberry. He found it was quite sweet, better than the ones in Chi’s family orchard.

Chu Shaochen looked at Chi Ning with pain in his eyes.

What kind of life do you live in Chi’s house, Chi’s family is so big, yet they can’t even afford strawberries?

“I’ll have the doctor come to do a examination on you.”

Chu Shaochen lightened his tone to avoid frightening Chi Ning.

He realized Chi Ning was probably used to not bothering others and acting strong. After all, he grew up in that kind of environment, so it’s important for him to live well without becoming insane.

As a qualified Alpha, he must act accordingly so as not to irritate Chi Ning.

Chi Ning stared at Chu Shaochen silently, his face flushed and his brow furrowed.

Chu Shaochen was immediately flustered, he had never liked other Omega, even Chi Ning had been silently in his heart for many years, it was only after experiencing a return from the dead that he decided to bring Chi Ning around.

“How do you—”

“Water, water!”

Chi Ning gripped his neck, his gaze fixed on the water on Chu Shaochen’s right hand, and leaned against Chu Shaochen’s body, reaching for the glass.

Chu Shaochen: “…”

Oh, it turned out that the eager eyes just now were not looking at him.

Voss is holding a tray with medicine and a change of bandages.

Standing quietly at the door, he put it down without changing his face and closed the door silently.

I’m too old to see these things.

Too exciting.

Chu Shaochen finds it exciting as well, and there are surprises everywhere in life.

Chu Shaochen took the cup and handed it to Chi Ning, watching him drink half of the cup hurriedly and finally recover.

Drops of water dripped from his lips and landed on the clothes on his chest.

The white fabric soaks up easily and prints out slender collarbones.

He almost choked to death.

Chi Ning swallowed uncomfortably and was relieved only after making sure that the strawberry stuck in his throat was swallowed.

“What did you say just now?” He was so panicked in his head that he couldn’t hear clearly.

Chu Shaochen looked at Chi Ning silently, and after a long time he said, “I want to ask a doctor to examination on you.”

Another examination?

Chi Ning sighed; he had to go for a examination every other month while he was at Chi’s Family as if he were sick.

Isn’t it just a gland that can’t release pheromones?

What’s all the fuss about? Although it is a rare case, it is not an impossible case.

Chi Ning hates those machines and rays sweeping around his body, which is very ruthless and sees through everything.

He tentatively said, “Actually, it’s fine without pheromones.”

Chu Shaochen’s expression changed and he didn’t speak, but his eyes were clearly looking at his neck.

What’s on his neck?

The gland.

Sure enough, he still cared about pheromones.

He believed that the top Alpha’s psyche could overcome the physiological responses, but it turned out that everything in the book was a lie.

“I mean, life would be a lot easier without the estrus period. After all, once you have pheromones, you will lose your mind, be controlled by physiology, and become a lower-body thinking animal.”

As Chi Ning spoke, he noticed Chu Shaochen’s expression darkening, so he tried hard to reflect.

The expression on his face became more serious, and then he felt happiness in his heart and remorse in his eyes.

Animals that think with their lower bodies=Alpha.

What he said just now, almost said that Chu Shaochen was—

Chi Ning lowered his eyes to cover the guilty conscience in his eyes as he set the cup down, and his tone became low, “I’m sorry General, I’m not talking about you, I mean when you can’t change this matter, you might as well try to accept it, so that life will be better.”

“I don’t trust Chi’s family doctor, I’ll ask Bai Chen to examine you.”

Chu Shaochen’s expression returned to normal, and his head was about to burst with anger.

What did the Chi family do to Chi Ning?

No, he had to look it up.

An undeniable tone.

So cool.

Chi Ning nodded obediently, “Okay. Is Dr. Bai the one who sent you back?”

Coincidentally, he didn’t trust Chi’s family doctor either.

Otherwise, how come doing examinations every year, every month, but the report will be exactly the same; did he use him to hone his skills?

Quack doctor.

However, he believes that Dr. Bai’s medical abilities are also in question.

What about staying in bed for a month? It only took one night for him to be able to get up and walk, and the clinical research on the top Alpha is not deep enough.

Chu Shaochen said “hmm,” and the wound on his left shoulder was aching, probably caused by this fuss.

Chi Ning looked at the white porcelain plate on the cabinet by the door, and then at Chu Shaochen.

While putting down the fruit plate, he took a strawberry, “General, I have something to tell you.”

Chu Shaochen subconsciously said, “What—”

A strawberry still drenched in water was stuffed into his mouth, and his fingertips quickly brushed across his lips.

His brain went into shock as he met Chi Ning’s smiling eyes.

Chi Ning clapped his hands and walked around from the end of the bed, bringing something to the bedside to change Chu Shaochen’s wound dressing, “Eat something sweet before you take the pain.”

When Bai Chen bandaged Chu Shaochen last night, he was also there.

He knew better than anyone how serious the injury was.

His skin was torn apart, and he was stabbed by the fluid fragments after the explosion. If he hadn’t dealt with it in time, he probably wouldn’t even be able to keep his arm.

No matter how powerful the General of the Federation is, it can’t regenerate limbs but can replicate an artificial arm.

The flexibility is not inferior to the original, but the nerve induction is a little bit worse.

As he removed the bandage and saw the blood, Chi Ning’s face hardened, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath and continue the action of changing the dressing.

After the medicine was applied and the bandage was rewrapped, his face was paler than Chu Shaochen’s.

He quickly stuffed the medical waste into the trash bag and moved the dishes away.

During this time, Chu Shaochen contacted Bai Chen with his intact hand and said he’d be there in ten minutes.

“Are you dizzy?”

“A little bit, but nothing serious.”

Nothing serious?

His legs are only slightly weaker, and his hands are trembling slightly; how can this be considered serious?

Chu Shaochen stared at his pale face, not quite believing it was just “a little bit.”

In his view, Chi Ning suffered “abuse” from the Chi family since he was a child, and he may have many hidden traumas in his body.

The only way to find out is to wait for Bai Chen to examine him.

—

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Chen came over with his medical kit.

Chi Ning saw Bai Chen and smiled and waved hello before sitting down to wait for Bai Chen to finish speaking with Chu Shaochen.

Although he was the patient, he didn’t mind his Alpha speaking for him.

After all, he was experienced in things like communicating with doctors, and it was better to give others a little more of a chance.

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and finally looked at him together.

Chi Ning blinked innocently, “Can we start the examination?”

Bai Chen: “Yes.”

“There are equipments on the second floor. I suggest going there for a full-body examination. Think of it as a pre-marital, ah, a post-marital examination.”

Chi Ning was about to nod when he remembered something and glanced out to look at the blocked Chu Shaochen, “Are you okay alone?”

It won’t be long before he will quietly get out of bed and go to the treatment room.

Chu Shaochen pinched the center of his brows and found that in Chi Ning’s heart, there seemed to be something wrong with his image.

“Yes.”

“Then wait for me obediently, I’ll be back soon, don’t miss me too much.”

Chu Shaochen: “…”

Bai Chen: “…”

Bai Chen coughed softly, held back his laughter, and walked out of the room with his belongings, saying, “I’ll wait for you outside.”

Chi Ning smiled shyly at him, and continued to tell Chu Shaochen, who had an earlier record, “Then I’ll go with Dr. Bai first, don’t worry, I will check it carefully.”

Chu Shaochen looked at Chi Ning in a happy mood, the corners of his lips curved up in an inconspicuous arc, “Well, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

After reluctantly saying goodbye, Chi Ning walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and sighed.

Bai Chen, who was walking in front, trembled, sensing an unexpected premonition.

“The General’s injury is recovering well, so you don’t need to be stressed.”

Chi Ning shook his head, “No, that’s not what I’m worried about.”

Bai Chen wondered, “Then what is it?”

Chi Ning looked up at him, “What I’m worried about is that he’s recovering too quickly. It’s been rumored outside that he’s critically ill. If he’s recovering so quickly, isn’t it—”

Let down those who spread rumors!

He had already felt that something was wrong. A dignified General of the Federation was injured on the way to perform a mission. The government’s response was vague, and they even let the rumors spread without dispelling them.

So problematic.

If they aren’t stirring the pot behind the scenes, their surname is not Chi.

“You don’t have to worry, Young master Chi, the General has his own measure.”

“I’m not worried about it.”

Why should he worry?

Chu Shaochen dared to meet the members of the Chi family, so there must be a way.

Bai Chen: “…”

He’s a badass, worrying about nothing.

Pushing open the treatment room door, the medical equipment is organized in sections, similar to a small hospital clinic.

Chi Ning was lying in the purification cabin, with the back of his neck exposed to the instrument.

Wow, he looks like a guinea pig.

Bai Chen used instruments to perform a thorough examination of the gland.

The gland is present at birth and develops with age. In General, development is completed at the age of fifteen and enters a fully developed state at the age of eighteen.

To put it simply, Alpha will have a rut period, while Omega will have a heat period.

Beta glands will also develop but do not release pheromones, and will only detect Type III hormones that do not possess any physiological induction.

Chi Ning became increasingly unable to sit still as time passed, and the sensation of suffocation increased gradually.

Suppressing his uneasiness, he asked in a low voice, “Doctor Bai, how are my gland?”

Bai Chen stared at the image of the gland on the screen, “It’s quite beautiful.”

Chi Ning: “…”

His intuition was right, and Dr. Bai was not very reliable.

But seeing Chu Shaochen’s strong recommendation, he reluctantly goes through the process.

Being a worker is not easy.

Seeing the shock and confusion in Chi Ning’s eyes, Bai Chen coughed lowly, “I mean, your gland imaging is beautiful.”

Chi Ning smiled: “Thank you, I know it’s beautiful.”

He has seen no more, no less, than at least a hundred copies in his eighteen years of life.

Big and small, all heart-shaped.

It is very beautiful.

“The specific test results must be awaited, but based on the current situation, the developmental state is very good, and there is no atrophy, but this is not the final result.”

Bai Chen’s tone suddenly became professional, which made Chi Ning not used to it.

“There was once a case where the gland was fully developed but the pheromone was missing. According to records, the other party was a top-level Omega, which is even rarer than a top-level Alpha.”

Chi Ning stared at the incandescent lamp, “Top Omega? What is that?”

He had never heard of it.

Oh no, it was written in the book.

It’s a creature at the top of the food chain that can beat a top Alpha to the ground.

Super fierce.

A thought suddenly came to mind, and Chi Ning boldly guessed, “Doctor Bai, you mean that I might be a top-level Omega?”

Bai Chen: “…”

“As of now, the possibility is very low.”

“Why?”

“Top Omega’s self-healing ability is very strong, and its IQ is different from that of ordinary people. And can make the Alpha afraid for it even if the pheromone is missing.”

Chi Ning pouted, “Are you calling me stupid?”

“Or am I easily bullied?”

Bai Chen, “Not really.”

It’s hard to get paid.

Chi Ning thought about it, and it was impossible, his life history was nothing like the Omega who changed his life against the sky in the book.

One can dream, but one should not daydream.

It’s better to change to a more relaxed topic.

“Doctor Bai, why does the General suddenly want to pair up with an Omega?”

Chi Ning was a little curious, did Chu Shaochen really care about outside eyes, so he suddenly paired up?

Bai Chen replied while writing the case, “I’m not sure about this, but you can rest assured that since I met the General, no Omega has ever been able to get close to him, let alone stay in the same bed.”

“No wonder.” Chi Ning suddenly realized, “Then I know, the General chose me because I don’t have pheromones and won’t affect him.”

Bai Chen: “…”

It seems right, but not quite right.

“And that’s not all!”

Bai Chen heard another sentence from Chi Ning and suddenly looked forward to it.

Chi Ning looked at him with a serious face, “Doctor Bai, I’m sure Alphas like General are very rare in Imperial Star.”

The reason behind the General of Federation and the Light of Imperial Star being single for twenty-four years was actually—

Waiting painstakingly for an Omega without pheromones to ensure that he is always in a position to maintain his composure, in order to always stand at the top of the combat power of the Federation army.

To keep his male virtue.

Alpha’s role model.
