My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 46.1
“Hiss—Ah!”
Li Fangge suddenly pulled back.
Guan Xiaoyu looked utterly bewildered, her eyes shimmering with tears, full of question marks.
Li Fangge thought she was being deliberately mischievous, so she gently pinched her left cheek, her voice carrying a hint of a playful reprimand: “Your sister’s lips aren’t healed yet, and you bit your tongue again!”
“Sister Li, I didn’t bite your tongue!” Guan Xiaoyu said, then leaned in again. Now, all she wanted was to continue the kiss.
Li Fangge instinctively dodged her. If Guan Xiaoyu hadn’t bitten her, where did the very clear pain on the tip of her tongue come from—
Before she could figure it out, Guan Xiaoyu hooked her neck and pulled her down possessively.
Their briefly separated lips sealed together again tightly. The intertwining of lips and teeth was a thousand times sweeter than simply having their lips meet.
The moment Guan Xiaoyu overstepped, before she could break through the second line of defense, that intensely sharp, stinging pain in Li Fangge’s mouth returned, instantly reaching the depths of her skull.
Like being burned by fire, she quickly pulled back, “Hiss—”
This time, Li Fangge’s instinctive movement to push Guan Xiaoyu away even seemed a little rough.
She held her head with both hands, eyes closed, brows furrowed, and teeth clenched, letting out repeated groans of “Ah.”
“Sister Li! What’s wrong?”
Guan Xiaoyu was stunned for a few seconds. When she recovered, she seemed to remember something. Her hand gently touched Li Fangge’s arm, “I’ll go get you a painkiller right away!”
Li Fangge shook her head. The pain seemed to have taken up residence in her mouth, stabbing towards the top of her head in waves. It hurt so much that her expression was distorted.
“Sister Li, I’ll be right back!” Guan Xiaoyu resolutely got out of bed.
Li Fangge endured the pain, raised her eyes, and slightly opened them following the sound. Guan Xiaoyu’s figure rushing towards the door was hazy, her tongue and teeth hurt so much that her vision was blurred!
Her still barely functioning brain offered a makeshift answer: Her and Guan Xiaoyu’s genetic grades were mismatched!
Alpha and Omega pheromones mainly exist in the scent glands, but during an Alpha’s rut and an Omega’s heat, pheromones also diffuse into body fluids—
Li Fangge was not in a rut now. An Alpha’s rut only happens once or twice a year.
Although she wasn’t in rut, once an Alpha encounters an Omega in heat, they become very eager to be close to the other person.
Li Fangge finally understood why she especially wanted to be with Guan Xiaoyu today, and particularly enjoyed her proximity; Guan Xiaoyu must have entered her heat period—
When this happens, for Alpha and Omega couples with matching genetic grades, marking is a natural progression.
Li Fangge’s genetic grade was lower than Guan Xiaoyu’s. The stinging pain just now was caused by the conflict between their pheromones—
If mere lip and tooth contact and fluid exchange were so painful, wouldn’t marking feel like her soul was tearing apart?!
Time passed slowly, and every second, Li Fangge felt incredibly unbearable, like sinking into quicksand, where the more she struggled, the clearer the pain became.
After an unknown amount of time, the stinging pain finally stopped intensifying. Li Fangge could finally stop holding her head.
It was as if all the strength in her body had been used to cope with the pain caused by the pheromone conflict. The moment she lowered her hands, she collapsed, feeling as if her body had turned into a puddle of water, her limbs so weak they could no longer receive commands from her brain.
So, it really can’t be done?!
She looked up at the ceiling, muttering to herself powerlessly, and then answering herself just as powerlessly, Indeed, it can’t.
About ten minutes later, seeing Guan Xiaoyu rush back with the painkiller, Li Fangge first noticed that Guan Xiaoyu’s face was flushed, her eyes full of worry, and she was panting, completely losing the delicate look of a pea princess—
“Sister Li, take this quickly!” She said, hastily tearing open the painkiller packet.
Li Fangge looked at her, self-deprecatingly and weakly, “Sorry, no more passionate kissing.”
Guan Xiaoyu ignored her. She sat on the edge of the bed and handed her the torn painkiller packet.
Li Fangge’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and her usually rosy lips had long since lost their color.
“Sister Li, take the medicine quickly.”
“It doesn’t hurt as much now. At this point, taking the medicine or not is the same.”
“Is that so?”
From Li Fangge’s expression, Guan Xiaoyu knew that she must have already sensed something.
Withdrawing the hand holding the medicine, Guan Xiaoyu lowered her head, “I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you, Sister Li. I thought—I didn’t expect, I didn’t foresee things turning out like this.”
“Help your sister wipe off the sweat,” Li Fangge didn’t want to hear her blame herself.
“Oh, okay.”
Guan Xiaoyu got up and pulled a few tissues from the nightstand.
Preoccupied with worry and self-blame, she hadn’t noticed that Li Fangge’s hairline was already damp with sweat.
She leaned over and carefully wiped it for her, “Sister Li, do you want to take the medicine—”
“No.” Li Fangge had always been very resistant to taking medication.
“Oh!”
After wiping her dry, Guan Xiaoyu sat back down on the edge of the bed, looking as if she had something she wanted to say but was holding back.
“Today was really—” Li Fangge reached out, taking Guan Xiaoyu’s right hand, which was restlessly picking at the skin between her left thumb and forefinger, “One moment soaring to the clouds, the next plummeting into the abyss.”
Guan Xiaoyu, of course, knew what she meant, “Sister Li, I overestimated the effect of the inhibitors. Although my pheromones didn’t leak out, but—”
“In the future, during sensitive periods, let’s just hold back and not meet.”
“I don’t want that!”
Guan Xiaoyu suddenly looked at Li Fangge, “If I can’t see you during my sensitive period, I’d rather—”
Omegas have a heat period every month. She didn’t want to have so many days each month where she couldn’t see her.
Li Fangge raised her hand and timely blocked Guan Xiaoyu’s next words, “Don’t make decisions at a time like this!”
Closing and removing the scent gland, those matters should be put aside for now.
Guan Xiaoyu, as if possessed, bit Li Fangge’s finger. Immediately, a wave of warmth and wetness enveloped it.
Li Fangge wanted to withdraw her hand, but seeing Guan Xiaoyu’s engrossed expression, she managed to hold back.
If it weren’t for her instinctive reaction, Li Fangge would have forgotten that she could use her hand—
A gust of wind made the curtains rustle loudly.
Startled, Guan Xiaoyu, who was dominated by the heat, suddenly came to her senses. She quickly removed Li Fangge’s hand and cried out, “Oh my God!”
She covered her face and stood up, “Sister Li, I’m going out to cool down!”
“You don’t have to go out.” Li Fangge tried to pull her back, “Your sister’s hands and body can be yours—”
She was serious. Although she hadn’t been in love, the longing feeling was not unfamiliar to her.
Guan Xiaoyu shook her head, “No way. If I let my pheromones leak out, I might actually eat you, Sister Li!”
Li Fangge was amused by her dramatic tone, “Eat me if you want, it’s not like I’m completely unwilling!”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Sister Li, I’m taking my leave for now!” Guan Xiaoyu shrieked and rushed out of the room again.
Li Fangge looked at her receding back, thinking, Pheromones are so unscientific, they’re completely a kind of restraint.
Pheromones’ only contribution is allowing same-sex couples to reproduce. Everything else is a limitation: for example, her inability to do what she wanted to do to Guan Xiaoyu.
She had initially thought that the inability to proceed would make her feel unbearably ashamed, but when it actually happened, the pain made Li Fangge forget to care about her self-respect—
Guan Xiaoyu returned close to midnight.
Several times, Li Fangge had been on the verge of falling asleep. To wait for her return, she struggled to get up, walking to the window, or the bathroom, or flipping through the poetry collection she had seen the end of…
Although she had a home before, she had never had the experience of waiting for someone to come home.
“Sister Li, guess where I went?”
Guan Xiaoyu’s face was as pink as a peach, and she looked thoroughly wet, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just tell your sister?” Li Fangge stood by the window, lazily dropping her gaze. Her face was tired, a kind of post-coital languor, weary but with a unique charm that made one want to look at her again.
Guan Xiaoyu walked closer and closer; a smile mixed with shyness on her face.
Li Fangge rarely saw shyness on her face; she was always direct, her words never mincing.
“But I want you to guess, Sister.”
Guan Xiaoyu lowered her head, as if trying to hide something.
“But your sister wants you to tell me.” Li Fangge smiled, mimicking her earlier mannerism.
The rollercoaster night finally settled into tranquility at this moment.
Although there were regrets, she still cherished these tranquil moments with Guan Xiaoyu.
The pain had already suppressed the sensual thoughts in her heart. The stinging sensation from the pheromone conflict had almost completely faded.
She hadn’t had a passionate moment with Guan Xiaoyu yet, but she inexplicably felt the quiet peace characteristic of being sated.
