Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 10

Shen Qing’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, completely sank.

He did not dare to provoke Lu Shijun any further, nor did he dare to speak the truth. He could only force a faint smile and find an excuse. “Lu Shijun, where is your check-up report? Let me see it.”

Lu Shijun’s chest was still heaving slightly, but upon hearing this, he became instantly submissive.

He tidied up the medical kit he had accidentally overturned and then crouched at Shen Qing’s feet. He retracted the gloom and hostility from his body. The man looked like a fierce hound greeting its master; although he was still terrifying, he was significantly more docile.

“Xiao Qing, it is nothing serious. It is just the same as before.”

He said this, but Shen Qing did not believe him.

“Normally, an Alpha’s rut lasts three days. However, because you have abused suppressants for a long time, your rut has been extended to four or six days.”

“Lu Shijun, you are lying.”

Shen Qing’s face remained calm yet exceptionally beautiful. His voice was steady and slow as he stated the facts, carrying an undetectable hint of pressure.

It was incredibly captivating.

Especially his eyes, staring straight at him like that.

Lu Shijun did not know how to describe it; he only knew that having his close friend scold and question him like this made every pore in his body relax. He felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

“President Lu, do you want me to go ask the Doctor myself?”

Lu Shijun shook his head hurriedly. How could he bear to let Shen Qing leave his side? He was just worried.

He had not even looked at that report himself. If there was something wrong with it.

His eyes darkened. Suddenly, he thought of a brilliant idea.

If there was something wrong, it would be the perfect excuse to keep his friend trapped by his side.

Qingqing was so kindhearted; he would definitely worry about him. Then, they could naturally live together.

They had not lived together since graduation. Back in university, they had shared a dormitory so harmoniously, yet now Shen Qing insisted on having “private space.”

What a load of “private space” bullshit!

He, Lu Shijun, hated private space!

He wanted to be with Shen Qing forever, twenty-four hours a day, and live together for a lifetime!

“I do not know about the report myself. The report is with the Doctor. I will have him come over.”

The Doctor arrived very quickly. Before long, there was a knock on the ward door.

At this moment, Lu Shijun was still crouching at Shen Qing’s feet like a large dog. He acted like a guard dog, but the moment he saw the Doctor, a fellow Alpha, his eyes instantly narrowed with danger.

Like poles repel, and the Doctor happened to be an Alpha as well.

Seeing his patient about to bare his teeth at him, the Doctor suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and stood expressionless at the door.

Once upon a time, he had envied Assistant Shen’s annual salary. Now, it was all mental compensation!

Look at that; even when he was sick, Shen Qing still had to manage this mad dog.

“Mr. Shen.”

The Doctor was very professional. Without the consent of these two, he would not dream of entering this seemingly safe ward.

Even so, that mad dog looked like he wanted to pounce and bite him to death.

Lu Shijun did not like Shen Qing’s attention shifting away from him. Even now, even if it was for his own medical condition, he was still displeased.

Consequently, he started playing small tricks.

Just as Shen Qing stood up, Lu Shijun pressed him back onto the sofa.

“Why are you standing up? You are a patient. There is no reason to make a patient stand.”

“Let him speak from the doorway.”

If he were not unable to win in a fight, the Doctor would have rolled up his sleeves to fight him.

“The check-up report,” the Doctor said expressionlessly.

Lu Shijun replied, “I will go get it.”

He stuffed all the reports into Shen Qing’s hands without looking at them himself. Keeping his distance, he spoke to the Doctor at the door. “Is my condition very serious? I remember my ruts used to last nearly a week. In this situation, do I need someone to watch over me twenty-four hours a day?”

“Alphas are not suitable; if they watch me closely, I will kill them.”

“Omegas are even less suitable. That leaves only Betas. However, I do not want just any Beta. I will attack a stranger like an enemy.”

The Doctor watched as Lu Shijun dug a pit for Assistant Shen.

Sure enough, after finishing his speech, Lu Shijun turned back and looked at Shen Qing with a beaming smile.

“Xiao Qing, it looks like I will have to trouble you for the next few days.”

Shen Qing was carefully reading the report. Lu Shijun’s pheromone levels had always been very high, categorized as S-class. However, his abuse of suppressants had caused his pheromones to become disordered.

This disorder would not be fatal for the time being, and increasing the dosage of suppressants could control it, but that only treated the symptoms and not the cause. It was like a time bomb; no one knew when he might lose control.

But this current report showed that he was perfectly normal, even unprecedentedly healthy.

He was so normal that he did not look like a sick Alpha at all.

Shen Qing looked up in shock. Seeing this, the Doctor finally spoke. “Mr. Lu’s problem has actually always been easy to handle; he just refuses to face it.”

Lu Shijun finally sensed something was wrong.

He snatched the report away.

The Doctor continued, “As long as he properly uses soothing agents containing Omega pheromones, he will gradually return to normal. Alphas need Omega pheromones; Omegas are their medicine.”

The Doctor stated the root of the problem directly. Seeing that Lu Shijun was still resistant, the Doctor pushed up his glasses and said calmly, “As it stands, President Lu needs a psychiatrist more than he needs a pheromone expert like me.”

In the past, Lu Shijun resisted soothing agents containing Omega pheromones. Because he was an S-class Alpha with extremely high danger levels, ordinary hospitals did not dare admit him.

After all that fuss, it turned out that a single Omega could solve everything.

The Doctor had dealt with him for many years. Although he was not sure why Lu Shijun was so repulsed by Omegas, it was clear now that his psychological issues were more important.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Shijun’s face turned as dark as a gathering storm. Seeing that he was about to lose control, the Doctor wisely took a step back.

Shen Qing acted quickly and pressed him back down. “Let me see your pheromone bracelet.”

He seemed uneasy and wanted to double-check.

Lu Shijun’s voice was muffled. “I threw it by the bedside.”

Shen Qing asked, “Should I get it, or will you go get it yourself?”

How could Lu Shijun dare let him get it? He stood up immediately. “I will get it.”

He quickly found the bracelet and put it on his wrist. The chaos he had caused earlier in the hospital was actually intentional; he wanted to use the assistant to make Shen Qing anxious so he would come looking for him.

At that time, he did not know Shen Qing was sick.

He could control his own pheromones to create the illusion of off-the-charts levels, but he knew very well it was all fake.

Now, this bracelet did not actually have much effect on him.

The Doctor did not know this yet; otherwise, the research institute would have to customize a new special bracelet for him.

He hated being monitored.

He did not want his emotions exposed to these outsiders at every moment. Of course, Shen Qing was different; that was his best friend, the kind he intended to stay with for a lifetime.
