Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 38

After a brief discussion, several colleagues finally decided to call the Research Institute.

It would be best if Assistant Shen could handle the situation himself, but just in case he could not, they had to provide him with some form of backup.

Meanwhile, inside the lounge suite.

Now that the messy crowd had dispersed, the air began to clear. Lu Shijun circled his arm around the other man, burying his head in the crook of Shen Qing’s neck, inhaling the faint, elusive fragrance lingering on his skin.

Lu Shijun did not know how to describe this scent. It was very light, but it was also addictively intoxicating. It made him feel as though he could never have enough, tempting him to sink his sharp teeth into the skin and taste it deeply.

Shen Qing struggled to remain standing. The Alpha leaning against him was far too tall; even without pressing his full weight down, the mere presence of his head made it difficult for Shen Qing to breathe. Furthermore, the fluffy, slightly coarse texture of Lu Shijun’s hair rubbed against his skin, causing a sensation that was both itchy and painful.

“Lu Shijun, can you get up? I cannot stand anymore. I am going to fall.”

As soon as he spoke, the fellow did indeed get up. However, in the next second, the world spun. By the time Shen Qing regained his senses, he found himself sitting on Lu Shijun’s lap.

Shen Qing was completely stunned.

“Wait, no.”

He tried to explain, but Lu Shijun had already buried his head back into his neck. His hot breath fanned across Shen Qing’s collarbone, sending waves of goosebumps across his skin.

Shen Qing took a deep breath. They were now sitting on the sofa, and because of this maneuver, the suppressant was now even further out of reach.

Helpless, Shen Qing could only push at the man beside him. “I cannot breathe. Can you let go for a moment?”

Lu Shijun did not want to separate, but he did not want to make him angry either. He could only mutter gloomily, “Wait a bit longer. It is too stinky.”

Shen Qing did not catch his meaning. He sniffed the air, but he did not smell anything foul like Lu Shijun described.

“What exactly is stinky?”

“That Omega’s pheromones. It stinks to death,” Lu Shijun said with a dark expression.

Shen Qing froze. Since that person could impersonate him, their pheromones should have been similar.

In this world, similar pheromones were not a rare occurrence.

Lu Shijun did not notice his emotional shift, continuing with an undisguised loathing in his tone, “He is just a low quality counterfeit.”

He did not offer much explanation. Although that Omega’s pheromones smelled of white peach, they were nothing like that night.

Even though he hated that he had fallen into a trap, his heart had to admit that the pheromones from that night were sweet and alluring, making it impossible to stop. This time, however, the imposter’s white peach scent felt like a low grade product mixed with industrial saccharine.

It smelled terrible.

It caused him physical discomfort to the point of wanting to vomit.

Lu Shijun did not want to admit anything in front of Shen Qing. He felt that acknowledging his heartbeat from that night would be a betrayal of his best friend and a betrayal of the principles he had upheld for years.

In this contradictory struggle, and to prove that his heart had not been moved, he began to desperately disparage that poor Omega.

“Qingqing, let us not mention him anymore, alright?”

“If we keep talking about it, I am afraid I will vomit.”

“Do you know how much I threw up after that day?”

Shen Qing stiffened.

Although he had told himself countless times not to let his heart be moved again and not to sink further, he wanted them to stop at this friendship.

Yet, the casual words Lu Shijun spoke always managed to pierce his chest with precision, leaving him bloodied.

Shen Qing forced a smile that looked sadder than crying. Beneath his slightly upturned lips, a mist of tears uncontrollably filled his eyes.

He exhaled a heavy, frustrated breath, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and whispered, “Fine. We will not talk about him anymore.”

Lu Shijun’s seemingly normal state gave Shen Qing an illusion, making him think the man could still control himself. He spoke again, “Let me up. I am going to get the suppressant.”

Since his emotions had not been properly suppressed, his words carried a sense of wanting to escape.

This movement immediately caused the Alpha, who was pretending to be normal, to show his true colors.

The hand circled around his waist suddenly tightened. Shen Qing fell back unexpectedly, a flash of panic crossing his face. The mist in his eyes finally condensed into droplets, which at this moment, began to roll slowly down his cheeks.

Earlier, when that Omega was crying, Lu Shijun had been so annoyed he wanted to gouge the person’s eyes out.

Now, Shen Qing’s tears made his Adam’s apple bob, and he felt inexplicably parched.

“What is this?”

“Why are you crying?”

“Are you afraid of me?”

Shen Qing finally realized the problem belatedly.

As the crystal clear tears slid down his beautiful face, Lu Shijun reached out and caught a tear. Then, right in front of Shen Qing, he extended the tip of his tongue.

Shen Qing sat frozen in place, his mind going blank with shock at the man’s actions.

“It is so sweet, Qingqing.”

“Are there any more?”

Under the man’s morbid smile, Shen Qing instinctively tried to dodge.

The smile on Lu Shijun’s face deepened, but the depths of his eyes remained profoundly dark. He stared at Shen Qing, and at the moment the other tried to flinch away, he locked him firmly in his embrace again.

“Found them. There are still more on Qingqing’s face.”

“Why are you unwilling to give them to me?”

“Are we not best friends?”

Shen Qing suddenly felt that any explanation at this moment would be hollow. This fellow was beyond reasoning. Right now, the most important thing was to give him the suppressant!

Under the man’s predatory gaze, he followed along with his logic and nodded with difficulty. “The ones on my face are too few. If you want more, I can give you more.”

These words were too shameful for him to speak; he even stammered.

However, Lu Shijun tilted his head because of these words.

“Is that so?” He dragged out his words as the rationality in his eyes began to dim, replaced entirely by an instinctive urge to plunder.

But his appearance was too deceptive, completely different from an ordinary Alpha who had lost control.

Alphas who lost control usually became like wild beasts, but he was like a high intelligence criminal. No one would believe that at this moment, he could no longer distinguish who exactly the person in his arms was.

Right now, he only wanted his tears.

No, not just tears.

He wanted all of him!

“Then what is your condition?” He induced Shen Qing bit by bit, making him believe there was still room for negotiation.

Sure enough, Shen Qing fell for it.

“I want that suppressant.”

Lu Shijun began to laugh, his handsome face wearing a smile capable of deceiving others. He gently placed Shen Qing on the sofa beside him and stood up.

Shen Qing was surprised to see him walk over on his own.

An Alpha in their heat period would subconsciously resist suppressants unless the episode had just begun and rationality was still dominant.

But now, the pheromone alarm on Lu Shijun’s wristband had soared to 99%. Under these circumstances, any other Alpha would have lost control long ago.

Shen Qing could not help but marvel. As expected of a top Alpha, his willpower was truly astonishing.

He even began to indulge in a wild fantasy, thinking that if he pleaded in a soft voice and asked him to inject it himself, this fellow might actually agree.

With such a bold thought in mind, he was just about to speak when, in the next second, a foot wearing high end leather shoes stepped onto the suppressant.

Crack.

A crisp sound of glass shattering echoed in the quiet suite. Soon, the medication inside the unprotected suppressant soaked into the carpet.

The expression on Shen Qing’s face froze completely.

That was tempered glass! It was designed to prevent destruction by an Alpha. Just how much force did he use to step on it!

“Oh, I am sorry. I accidentally stepped on it.” Lu Shijun looked back, a blatant and malicious smile on his face. “What should we do now?”

Shen Qing’s breath hitched.

He did it on purpose!

Misfortunes never come singly. At the exact moment the suppressant was crushed, the pheromone wristband that had been stuck at 99% suddenly emitted a violent alarm once again.

A crimson warning light lit up from his wrist. Lu Shijun looked down at his wrist, and in the next second, he tore it off with brute force.

“What an eyesore.”

The wristband had a monitoring function. To prevent an Alpha from being uncooperative, it required a security code for removal. Only someone with the code could take it off normally.

Now.

Everything was ruined.
