CH 38

Chi Le woke up from his lethargy and found himself lying on the hospital bed. Sheng Zhuo and Lin Yuran stood nervously on the right side of the hospital bed, and Sheng De and Chi Jindong stood on the left side of the hospital bed. All looking solemn and staring at him with a complicated face.

Chi Le suddenly woke up with a jolt, “What’s wrong with me… Could it be that I’m dying?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Chi Jindong patted him on the top of the head, his expression slightly relaxed.

“Then why are you looking at me like that?” Chi Le glanced around suspiciously, seeing Chi Jindong’s dodging eyes, he was even more confused, only thinking that something big happened.

Chi Jindong kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

Chi Le looked at Lin Yuran, who was the most talkative, and almost had the words ‘tell me’ written on his face.

Lin Yuran and Sheng De looked at each other in embarrassment and looked at Chi Jindong for help. Chi Jindong’s eyes flashed, he opened his mouth, looked at Chi Le’s ignorant eyes, quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked at Sheng Zhuo.

Sheng Zhuo pinched the center of his brows with a headache but also didn’t know how to speak.

The people in the room were silent as if they had pressed the freeze frame button. As time went by, Chi Le’s heart sank and sank. Could it be that he had some incurable disease?

In the end, it was Chi Jindong who broke the silence first, and said with a dry smile, “Let’s go out first; Sheng Zhuo, talk to Lele…”

Sheng Zhuo: “…” Plot twist incoming.

“Yes, you two chat.” Lin Yuran quickly agreed without thinking too much, completely pushing the responsibility onto Sheng Zhuo.

The three of them felt relieved, smiling as they walked out together. They even helped them close the door, leaving the rest of the problems for Sheng Zhuo to handle!

Only Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo were left in the room.

Chi Le gritted his teeth, and grabbed Sheng Zhuo’s hand, “If you have something to say, just say it, I’m already mentally prepared.”

Sheng Zhuo sat down by the bed, considered his tone, and asked softly, “How do you feel now?”

Chi Le raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, with doubts in his eyes, “There’s something throbbing on the back of my neck.”

Sheng Zhuo looked at him hesitantly, “Maybe it’s a gland…”

“…Glands?” Chi Le laughed loudly, as if hearing some joke, he even forgot the nervousness and fear just now, “Only Omegas can have glands, how can I have glands?”

Sheng Zhuo pursed his lips but did not speak.

“What’s going on with my body, you just tell me.” Chi Le took a deep breath, “Don’t keep it from me.”

Sheng Zhuo raised his head, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, he was silent for a while, then reached out and handed a test sheet in front of him.

Chi Le took the test sheet without knowing why, stared down at the test sheet for a while, and then slowly froze.

Sheng Zhuo could only see his furry head, as he never raised his eyes.

Chi Le looked at the test report as if he couldn’t understand the words, and it took him a while to finally grasp the content. His eyes slowly widened, but he seemed unable to fully process the information. His face showed a mix of understanding and confusion, softly murmuring the words on the paper, “…Excessive pheromones in the body, diagnosed with secondary maturation, identified as… an Omega?”

Chi Le’s fingers trembled, but he still had his last hope and asked, “Whose test sheet is this? Did you take it by mistake?”

Sheng Zhuo felt sorry and pointed to the name above.

Chi Le stared at the word ‘Chi Le’ on the test sheet and looked again and again, trying to make his voice sound calmer, “Is it possible that there is a mistake? The test results are wrong, or the doctor confused me with other patients?”

Chi Le thought about all the possibilities, and got a negative answer to all of them, and finally had to admit that the test results above were true.

Chi Le almost didn’t bring it up in one breath, “This, can’t, be!”

Will he be an Omega? How could he mature into an Omega!?

“Lele, don’t get too worked up,” Sheng Zhuo held his hand and whispered comfortingly, “The doctor said your condition is still unstable, and you need to stay in the hospital for observation.”

Chi Le’s eyes lit up as if grasping the last straw, he immediately grabbed his hand, “So it may be a misdiagnosis, or it may be that the pheromone in my body is not stable enough, right? Maybe I’m not an Omega at all and will mature into an Alpha!”

Sheng Zhuo hesitated for a while but decided to tell the truth, lest he be disappointed again. “Lele, you have completely matured into an Omega. The doctor has confirmed this point 100%, and it will not change. It’s just that the concentration of pheromones in your body is not stable enough. They need to observe it, lest you suddenly come into estrus.”

Chi Le pursed his lips tightly, his chest rose and fell violently, and it was difficult for him to accept this for a while.

Sheng Zhuo touched his head, “I know you want to mature into an Alpha, but being an Omega is also good…”

Chi Le snorted, wanting to cry without tears, lay down on the bed paralyzed, as if his strength had been emptied all of a sudden, and he felt that life was meaningless!

Sheng Zhuo held his hand, let him calm down for a while, and then slowly said: “Do you still remember the dream you had before?”

Chi Le let out a listless ‘Mm’ in a nasal voice.

Sheng Zhuo said slowly: “Actually, if you are an Omega, then everything in the dream would make sense.”

Chi Le retorted without even thinking about it, “Impossible! Obviously in the dream you smelled like an Omega!”

“There’s another possibility. I might have picked up the scent from you since you mentioned that it was very faint. So, it’s highly likely that it doesn’t belong to me naturally.”

Chi Le was taken aback, “Why did the pheromone on my body stick to you?”

Sheng Zhuo glanced at him, “Maybe it’s because we just finished some kind of intimate act…”

Chi Le raised his hand to cover his mouth, not allowing him to continue to say: “…You have long thought that I am an Omega?”

Sheng Zhuo lowered his head and rubbed Chi Le’s palm gently with his fingers, “I just guessed that there might be such a possibility, and I wasn’t sure before…”

“…”

Chi Le grabbed Sheng Zhuo’s hand and bit it down without hesitation.

Sheng Zhuo gasped but didn’t break free, enduring the pain to let him vent his emotions.

Chi Le bit it twice and then let go. After all, he was not willing to bite the person to the point of bleeding, but he was still full of anger, and he didn’t know who he was angry with.

Sheng Zhuo raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, “Don’t be unhappy, you are you, no matter what your attributes are, it’s you.”

Chi Le lay sleepily on the pillow, his reddish eyes looked very pitiful, like a triumphant squirrel that lost its big tail that made him so proud.

Sheng Zhuo sat on the hospital bed, hugged him like a child, kissed his forehead, and said softly, “Lele, I love you.”

Chi Le’s eyelids moved.

Sheng Zhuo lowered his head and kissed the corner of his reddish eyes again, “I love you so much.”

Chi Le’s eyes drooped, and he gently placed his hand on his.

Sheng Zhuo rubbed his cheek affectionately, and slowly put a kiss on his lips, “I love you so much.”

The corners of Chi Le’s mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly, and his gloomy eyes lit up little by little.

With every kiss, Sheng Zhuo would say, “I love you,” and the sound of it made Chi Le’s ears tingle with warmth. Eventually, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, feeling completely immersed in Sheng Zhuo’s affection, slowly forgetting the frustration and restlessness he had felt earlier.

The love Sheng Zhuo gave him was too sweet, he was immersed in it, and it was hard for him to feel bitter.

Chi Le was still a little tired just after the secondary maturation and fell asleep unconsciously in Sheng Zhuo’s warm embrace.

When he woke up, he smelled a sweet and fragrant scent in a daze.

Chi Le rolled over on the hospital bed, his eyelashes fluttered twice, and he opened his eyes.

Sheng Zhuo was still sitting by the bed, but there were several sticks of ice cream in his hands, which he couldn’t hold with both hands. It looked a little funny for him to hold them in his hands like this, and Chi Le couldn’t help laughing.

“Where did the ice cream come from?”

“I just ran out to buy it.” Sheng Zhuo smiled, “The ice cream will melt if you don’t wake up.”

Chi Le drooped his head, resting it on the pillow, as he looked at the ice cream with wandering eyes.

Sheng Zhuo brought the ice cream closer to him and asked cautiously, “Do you want to eat that one?”

Chi Le said without much energy: “I don’t have much appetite.”

“Then…” Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Sheng Zhuo was about to put away the ice cream and then thought about other ways to make him happy.

Chi Le smacked his lips and then said: “Strawberry flavor, it’s sweet and sour, and appetizing. Maybe I’ll have an appetite once I taste it.”

Sheng Zhuo: “…” Still in the mood to choose a flavor, it seems like there’s no major issue.

He breathed a sigh of relief and passed the strawberry ice cream over.

Chi Le chose a strawberry flavor and then urged Sheng Zhuo to choose a taro flavor. They only kept these two, while the rest were taken by Sheng Zhuo to share with the children in the neighboring ward.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Chi Le happily finished eating a strawberry-flavored ice cream, and then snatched the uneaten taro-flavored ice cream from Sheng Zhuo’s hand. After eating everything, he recovered a lot of energy.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t even take a bite and wiped his mouth helplessly.

After Chi Le finished eating the ice cream, he remembered that troublesome thing again, raised his head and glanced at him, and couldn’t help being resentful, “Why did I become your wife!”

He used to regard Sheng Zhuo as his wife!

Chi Le couldn’t help thinking, when did all this start to deviate from the track? It seems that after Sheng Zhuo’s Alpha identity was exposed, not only did his wife disappear, but now he has become an Omega! It was nothing like what he had originally imagined!

If everything in the dream is real, it can only mean… A big misunderstanding!

Could it be that he guessed wrong from the beginning?

Sheng Zhuo cleared his throat, and coaxed carefully: “At worst, you continue to treat me as your wife!”

“Is that even possible?” In his heart, Chi Le silently criticized, pushing him away and saying, “The Alpha scent on you is too strong, it’s overwhelming me!”

Sheng Zhuo’s eyes brightened slightly, “Can you smell my pheromone?”

Chi Le was startled, his nose moved slightly, and he blinked his eyes in novelty and surprise, “Oolong tea?”

“Yeah!” Sheng Zhuo grabbed his hand excitedly, “Yes, my pheromone is oolong tea.”

Chi Le pursed his lips with a disgusted expression, but his nose couldn’t help sniffing around like a small animal.

Not to mention, Sheng Zhuo’s pheromone smells quite nice, it’s not at all what he imagined, neither cold nor bitter, with a little fruity aroma.

Sheng Zhuo hugged his shoulders and took the opportunity to comfort him: “If you were a Beta, you wouldn’t be able to smell my pheromones. In that case, everyone would know what my pheromones smell like, but you wouldn’t, isn’t it a pity? So being an Omega isn’t without its benefits, is it?”

Chi Le grunted reluctantly but did not refute.

If everyone else knew what scent Sheng Zhuo’s pheromones had, except for him, he would indeed feel unhappy.

Sheng Zhuo saw that his expression was softening, and continued to be persuasive, “Lele, even if you are an Omega, you are still you, and the essence will not change, so you don’t need to care about it.”

Chi Le’s eyes lit up, “So… Even if I am an Omega, I can still be the best Alpha amongst Omegas!”

Sheng Zhuo nodded, “Being an Omega is just your attribute, you can still become the strongest among Omegas, not all Omegas have to be the same.”

Chi Le’s mood improved a little bit, and he was no longer so resistant to becoming an Omega. Sheng Zhuo was right, since the incident had already happened, he should try to accept himself. After all, no matter what his attributes were, he was just Chi Le.

He is the unique Young Master Chi!

Chi Le thought for a while, only to feel enlightened, and looked forward to asking: “Since your pheromone is oolong tea, what is the scent of my pheromone? I don’t know if our pheromones are compatible.”

Sheng Zhuo’s voice was choked.

Chi Le became excited, and asked again: “Is my pheromone particularly Alpha-like?”

Sheng Zhuo was silent for a few seconds, facing his expectant gaze, he took out another test sheet stiffly.

Holding the test sheet, he hesitated, “Are you sure you want to read it now?”

Chi Le suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and without hesitation snatched the test sheet from his hand.

After Chi Le saw it clearly, his expression gradually cracked, and finally completely petrified, and he didn’t move for a long time.

“…”

He! Chi Le! Potential to be the best Alpha amongst Omegas! But the pheromones turned out to be peach! Can you believe it?
