After a Real Person Plays the Protagonist of an Anguish Novel [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Housewife

The laboratory results came out quickly. Tang Yiqing’s fluid purity was very high, which indirectly proved that his pheromone release level was extremely low—a consequence of long-term sexual abstinence.

Tang Yiqing stood with his head slightly bowed, looking at Shen Shuowen who was sitting in a chair. He felt as nervous as a student facing a teacher. Shen Shuowen sat with his legs crossed in a relaxed posture, holding the medical report in his hand. He stated the problems on the report in a calm, restrained voice, sounding like a cold, detached doctor.

As he listened, Tang Yiqing’s face grew hotter and hotter. In his shame, he twisted his hands together until his fingertips turned white.

“You…” Shen Shuowen’s words paused for a brief second before he continued, “How long has it been since the last time you and Mingzheng had sexual intercourse?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Yiqing’s face turned so red it looked like it might drip blood. His skin felt sensitive and burning with shame. “I…”

He truly couldn’t say it. After meeting Shen Shuowen’s cold eyes, he immediately looked away. A layer of moisture welled up in his eyes, as if he were about to cry from distress.

Shen Shuowen also understood that this question was difficult for Tang Yiqing to answer to his face. What he hadn’t expected, however, was that Tang Yiqing—already the mother of a four-year-old—would still act like a student who had never experienced the world.

As Tang Yiqing’s body temperature rose, the warm scent of daisies was steamed into the air. Just by sensing his pheromones, one could tell how ashamed he was. His face was flushed and his body was tinged with pink, making it hard for anyone to have the heart to press further.

“It’s okay. Just treat me as your doctor,” Shen Shuowen consoled him gently. He shifted his legs, resting the report on his lap.

“Actually…” Tang Yiqing took a deep breath, engaging in a great internal struggle. “It was… before the wedding.”

As the words fell, Shen Shuowen froze for a moment. Back then, their marriage had been rushed, and rumors had spread that he was pregnant out of wedlock. Looking at it now, that was indeed likely the case.

“Then it has been a very long time,” Shen Shuowen said.

The flush on Tang Yiqing’s face didn’t fade; he remained silent in his shame.

“So… were you harmonious before that?” Shen Shuowen asked.

Tang Yiqing couldn’t help but look up at him, his delicate brows slightly furrowed. “Does this question relate to my subsequent treatment plan?”

“It does,” Shen Shuowen said calmly. “If there was a stable and pleasurable relationship before, your body would have established enough dependence and a sense of security toward his pheromones during your heat. Therefore, his pheromones would be the most effective for your treatment.”

Hearing this, Tang Yiqing lowered his eyes despondently. “I only had one time with him.”

Shen Shuowen’s body stiffened. The hand holding the report trembled slightly. “Fine. I understand.”

Tang Yiqing only wanted to end this conversation as quickly as possible. “Then… in that case, are there other ways besides using Shen Mingzheng’s pheromones?”

Shen Shuowen, however, seemed lost in thought, his expression somewhat vacant as he murmured, “So… is there even a need for such a marriage to exist…?”

Tang Yiqing was startled. He had always believed Shen Shuowen had a steady and solemn personality; he never expected him to say something so out of line. According to Tang Yiqing’s current level of “devotion” in the plot, he would be dissatisfied if anyone spoke ill of his marriage. “Big Brother, how could you say such a thing?”

Shen Shuowen snapped back from his daze, immediately realizing the impropriety of his words. “My apologies. I overstepped just now.”

Tang Yiqing remained silent for a moment, biting his lip. “Actually, it’s nothing…”

Shen Shuowen turned around to operate the touchscreen instrument. The deep blue light fell on his face, making his features look cold and sharp.

“Normally, if a couple does not have a harmonious life, applying the husband’s fluid inside the reproductive chamber can trick the heat cycle, making the Omega in heat feel less miserable and allowing the body to slowly adjust back,” Shen Shuowen explained.

Tang Yiqing was stunned. His face burned as the realization dawned on him. This method was almost impossible for him to accept. Yet, Shen Shuowen’s voice sounded so ordinary and professional, exactly like a doctor prescribing medicine for a symptom.

“I… I can’t…” Tang Yiqing’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. Obtaining “that” from Shen Mingzheng was just as difficult as sleeping with him.

Shen Shuowen’s voice rose again. “Then there is another method. I can help you create a fluid with the same texture, mixed with pheromones.”

Tang Yiqing blinked. “Does it still have to be applied… in that place?”

“It is a necessity,” Shen Shuowen said. “What you should consider now is whether you can get Shen Mingzheng’s pheromones. You need pheromones with a purity of over 80%.”

Tang Yiqing was slightly stunned. 80% purity was practically the same as extracting directly from the gland. Putting aside the difficulty of extraction, the mere thought of applying Shen Mingzheng’s “that” there was something he didn’t even dare to imagine.

“I… I’d better not,” Tang Yiqing said hurriedly. “I should go back first. Big Brother, you should rest early too.”

“Your condition is very dangerous,” Shen Shuowen said seriously. “Normally, since you and Shen Mingzheng have already conceived a child, using his would be best for you. However, it doesn’t have to be him. As a fellow S-rank Alpha, my pheromones are also suitable for you.”

“I just performed a compatibility assessment. our match level reached 95%. Therefore, my pheromones are very appropriate for you.”

Tang Yiqing was stunned. When did he perform the assessment? It seemed as if he had been prepared to do this all along…

What shocked him even more was that their compatibility actually reached 95%. He and Shen Mingzheng were only at 82%, and that was already considered quite high. Anything over 90% could be called a “match made in heaven.”

This compatibility level made Tang Yiqing feel a bit strange. Looking at Shen Shuowen again, he couldn’t help but feel shy.

“What are you thinking about?” Shen Shuowen asked.

Tang Yiqing immediately snapped out of it. Shen Shuowen was already standing in front of him at some point, the scent of laundry detergent on his clothes mixed with a faint aroma of red wine.

“Nothing…” Tang Yiqing said in a small voice.

If Shen Shuowen were truly willing to help him, the purity of the extracted pheromones would no longer be an issue. His pheromones would definitely be very effective for him. But given their identities, it was truly inappropriate—not to mention that method of application…

“Don’t think too much. Just treat it as medical treatment. If you continue like this, you might even go into heat while walking on the street. If that day really comes, can you imagine the consequences?” Shen Shuowen said.

Tang Yiqing couldn’t help but shrink back. He looked at Shen Shuowen; the man’s face was as cold as ever, but his gaze was fixed straight on him, as if he absolutely had to accept this proposal.

Without waiting for Tang Yiqing to say anything more, Shen Shuowen had already walked to the machine and began extracting his own pheromones. The scent of red wine instantly became thick, causing Tang Yiqing to tremble for a second as his glands began to burn.

It suddenly occurred to him: Was his tendency to go into heat caused by the influence of S-rank Alphas? After all, the Shen family had three S-rank Alphas of the same age group. When he was outside, he wasn’t easily influenced by lower-level Alphas at all.

He pondered this but didn’t dare mention the idea to Shen Shuowen. In Shen Shuowen’s eyes, he would just be making excuses and being irresponsible toward himself.

However, the method to treat his current pheromone disorder was truly hard for him to accept…

After waiting for over half an hour, Shen Shuowen finally finished preparing the viscous liquid. Eventually, he handed a small glass jar to Tang Yiqing. Shen Shuowen instructed, “Don’t open it normally. Only use it when the heat arrives.”

Tang Yiqing looked at the transparent glass jar, momentarily hesitating to speak. He realized that after this night, there seemed to be nothing concerning physiological cycles that couldn’t be discussed between him and Shen Shuowen. It was just that the small glass jar in front of him was truly a “heavyweight” item.

Thinking of how it was to be used, and how it was crafted based on the texture of that fluid, he couldn’t stop the feeling of strangeness in his heart. This was his husband’s brother.

Tang Yiqing looked at Shen Shuowen. His hesitant words remained unsaid. He took the glass jar into his hand; a strange sensation traveled from the touch in his palm straight to the bottom of his heart.

Shen Shuowen warned him at this moment, “Once you use mine, do not use anyone else’s, or it will create a conflict in your body. If you run out, come to me for more.”

Tang Yiqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “I understand.”

Shen Shuowen added, “This should be enough for three uses. After you finish them, I hope you can give me feedback.”

Tang Yiqing looked at him in confusion. “Why do I need to give feedback?”

Shen Shuowen said, “I need to make adjustments based on the effectiveness of your use.”

Tang Yiqing’s face turned red, but Shen Shuowen was perfectly serious. He could only bite the bullet and say, “I understand.”

He really was helping him to the very end.
