- Chapter 11 - Invite Me In for a Seat
Bai Youxi carefully reapplied the pheromone block sticker. She and Aunt Tong stared at each other for a long time, but ultimately she didn’t ask for the inhibitor.
Although Shen Jiangxu had given the inhibitor to Aunt Tong, Aunt Tong would still call Shen Jiangxu to confirm if it needed to be used.
Shen Jiangxu probably hadn’t even arrived at Niannian’s school yet, so Bai Youxi decided not to trouble her.
Moreover, although the release of pheromones was gradually accelerating, it still remained at a relatively low rate, so she probably wouldn’t have a hard time for a while.
She turned on the TV and pretended to watch the news for a bit. After Aunt Tong left the living room, she took out her tablet again and opened that video.
But this time, she couldn’t focus on it.
Shen Jiangxu’s willow-like waist, swan-like long neck, and the graceful body beneath the dance costume every part of her transformed in Bai Youxi’s eyes into the burning image of last night.
She turned off the tablet.
Returning to her room, Bai Youxi secretly took out the two hidden sets of home clothes and small undergarments, hesitated for a moment, and then soaked them in the sink.
The water flowed with a gurgling sound, wetting the clothes little by little.
Bai Youxi closed her eyes and, with trembling hands, picked up Shen Jiangxu’s small underpants, quickly scrubbing them.
Her face flushed rapidly, and her heartbeat hammered in her eardrums. She barely dared to look directly at the small, soft, form-fitting fabric in her hand.
Aunt Tong also entered and exited her room, so Bai Youxi didn’t dare to hang the clothes to dry. After washing them, she had to use a hairdryer.
The warm, hot air blew back onto her, soon creating a thin layer of fine sweat beads on the tip of her nose.
Bai Youxi kept her eyes fixed on the floor, her wrist moving back and forth, directing the hairdryer only at Shen Jiangxu’s clothing, praying that they would dry quickly.
She kept her arm raised until it ached, but Bai Youxi didn’t dare to touch the small undergarments to check their status. She kept blowing until the handle of the hairdryer became quite hot before she finally turned it off.
Just as she was about to put them away, the bathroom door handle suddenly turned.
Bai Youxi was startled, quickly wrapping the small undergarments in the home clothes and hiding them behind her back. She opened the door, looked at Aunt Tong at the entrance, and forced a smile, “What is it?”
Aunt Tong exclaimed, “Oh dear, why is your face so red? You’re not running a fever again, are you?”
With that, she made a move to push the door open and walk in.
Bai Youxi, feeling guilty, shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, I was blowing my hair, it’s a bit hot.”
Aunt Tong realized, “Ah, right. I just heard the hairdryer making noise and was worried something happened to you inside. It’s good that you’re fine, good that you’re fine.”
Bai Youxi nodded repeatedly with a stiff smile. Aunt Tong instructed her once more to come out as soon as possible, then turned and left the room.
Bai Youxi breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and held the bundle of clothes in front of her, wondering how to return them to Shen Jiangxu.
Leaving the bathroom, she walked to her room door and pressed her ear against it, trying hard to hear any movement outside.
After a long time without hearing Aunt Tong’s voice, Bai Youxi quickly opened the door a crack and slipped out, heading straight for Shen Jiangxu’s room.
After observing outside for a while, she opened the door, only to bump into Aunt Tong coming in from the balcony, holding a watering can.
Bai Youxi froze on the spot, quickly hid her hands behind her back, and awkwardly said, “Aunt Tong is here.”
Aunt Tong was also surprised to see her, “Are you looking for me?”
Bai Youxi almost shook her head immediately. “I’d like to eat guobaorou (sweet and sour pork). Can Aunt Tong make it for lunch?”
Aunt Tong smiled, “That’s nothing. Just tell me whatever you want to eat.”
Bai Youxi quickly thanked her, then scurried away, rushing back to her own room.
Aunt Tong didn’t even see her shadow as she walked out, looking quite flustered.
However, she seemed to be in good spirits, which inexplicably brightened Aunt Tong’s mood as well.
But Bai Youxi leaned against the door, panting, and looked at the clothes in her hand with a wry smile.
Her face was still burning hot, and she had a thin layer of sweat, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She instinctively wiped the back of her neck, re-hid Shen Jiangxu’s clothes, changed out of her clothes, and took a bath.
Fearing that the sound of the hairdryer would attract Aunt Tong again, Bai Youxi simply didn’t use it. She took out a dry bath towel, wrapped it around her head, and managed to rub her hair semi-dry.
It wasn’t until after lunch, taking advantage of Aunt Tong’s nap, that Bai Youxi finally succeeded in slipping the clothes into Shen Jiangxu’s closet.
Greatly relieved, Bai Youxi lay down on the bed and fell into a deep, hazy sleep.
When she woke up again, she felt that something was wrong all over her body.
The pheromones had gone out of control again.
Bai Youxi stumbled out of her room, looking for Aunt Tong, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Jiangxu’s cold, striking face. A mist of neutralizer floated down between the two of them, blurring their outlines.
Bai Youxi was startled. She quickly covered the back of her neck and retreated into the room, swiftly closing the door.
Shen Jiangxu didn’t stop her, standing quietly by the door and waiting.
Bai Youxi frantically found the block sticker and replaced it, sprayed a good amount of neutralizer, and then returned to the door and opened it.
Just as she was about to speak, the Omega opposite her handed over an inhibitor. “Did you wash those clothes?”
Bai Youxi quickly thanked her and took it. She was momentarily confused by the question, then realized what was going on, and immediately felt her face flush. “Yes, I acted on my own. I’m sorry.”
Evidently, Shen Jiangxu had been back for a while, perhaps had already entered her room a few times, and sprayed neutralizer several times.
Shen Jiangxu’s voice was very cold and faint, “It’s nothing. They were going to be thrown away anyway.”
Bai Youxi froze in place.
She tightened her grip on the inhibitor, and her dazed muscles tried to pull up the corners of her mouth, revealing a stiff smile, “Ah, is that so? Then I overstepped.”
Those smoky-gray eyes were also very cold, glancing lightly at her hand, “You use it first.”
After saying that, she turned and walked away, leaving a graceful back that was deeply imprinted in Bai Youxi’s vision.
Bai Youxi used the inhibitor, and the surging pheromones only subsided right before she went to sleep.
She lay on the bed distractedly, emptying her mind, and felt she couldn’t fall asleep since she had slept too much in the afternoon.
She simply got up, changed the block sticker, sprayed a circle of neutralizer, and was about to climb back into bed when there was a knock on her door.
Bai Youxi didn’t delay, walked over and opened the door. Outside was Shen Jiangxu’s richly beautiful face.
She was wearing a silk nightgown. The bright satin fabric under the light enveloped her exquisite body. Although it was a warm wine-red color, it seemed to emit a chill.
Bai Youxi was a little surprised, subconsciously covering the back of her neck. After thinking about it carefully, the pheromone concentration in the room had indeed been quite high just now.
“Did I bother you?”
Shen Jiangxu shook her head, reached out, and handed over an item of clothing. “What are you going to do with this?”
Bai Youxi looked down. It was her bathrobe that Shen Jiangxu had taken and worn earlier.
All of her clothes now were bought by Aunt Tong, mostly comfortable, soft pure cotton products, which were especially suitable for the gradually rising temperatures of the season.
Inexplicably, she thought of Shen Jiangxu saying, “throw away.”
But before the thought fully formed, Bai Youxi had already happily taken the bathrobe from Shen Jiangxu’s hands.
It only carried a faint scent of laundry detergent, clearly having been washed as well.
Bai Youxi smiled, her tone noticeably lifted, “Thank you for returning it to me. This one is really comfortable to wear.”
Shen Jiangxu’s cold gray eyes fixed on her, and she suddenly asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Bai Youxi exclaimed “Ah,” and blinked blankly.
“The inhibitor isn’t doing much, is it?”
Bai Youxi belatedly realized, and her face instantly flushed, “Ah? But, I…”
Shen Jiangxu raised her hand, her fair and beautiful fingers touching her chest, pressing a small indentation into the silk nightgown. The smooth point of light was instantly broken, turning into a small halo.
“You keep staring,” Shen Jiangxu paused, lifting her slightly lowered long lashes to meet Bai Youxi’s eyes. “Is it because you washed my clothes?”
The crimson lips slowly spoke these words, and her cold voice sounded distant.
Bai Youxi’s ears turned red instantly. She hadn’t even realized she was doing such a thing.
Her head had been hazy ever since she woke up in the afternoon, and after talking to Shen Jiangxu about the clothes, she had become muddled, constantly zoning out.
Could it be that every time she zoned out, her gaze landed on Shen Jiangxu’s…
“I’m so sorry!!!”
Bai Youxi apologized in a panic, but cool fingertips pressed against her lips.
Shen Jiangxu also put a finger to her own lips, “Shh, don’t wake them up.”
Bai Youxi was startled and quickly nodded. After Shen Jiangxu removed her finger, she lowered her voice and apologized again, “I’m sorry, my behavior caused you distress…”
Shen Jiangxu interrupted her, “Don’t keep saying ‘I’m sorry’.”
Then she added, “Now, are you going to invite me in for a seat?”
