The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 40
The design of Jiangcheng University’s teaching building is “n” shaped, with teaching blocks and laboratories on both sides connected by a long corridor in the middle. At night, the side with the teaching blocks and the corridor are lit, while the laboratory side is dark.
As the numbers on the palm-sized elevator display gradually rose, Qin Huai messaged on her phone while simultaneously turning on its flashlight.
Horror stories circulate widely in every university, especially in places like dorms, labs, and medical schools. The most famous one at Jiangcheng University is about the anatomy lab on the basement floor of the Medical School, where an omega female corpse is supposedly buried underneath.
Qin Huai is an atheist and never believed in ghosts or spirits. Sometimes, when she was busy and she was the only one left on the laboratory floor, she would calmly wash her hands, change her clothes, and walk alone from the lab back to the dorm.
At the end of the corridor were two floor-to-ceiling windows protected by railings. Only the toilet light was on on the entire floor, its light slanting onto the ground, dim and deep.
Qin Huai wore canvas shoes on the white tiles, her footsteps barely audible. The flashlight beam cast a black shadow on the ground from one spot. She quickly walked up to the laboratory door, pressed the handle as usual, but the door didn’t open.
“Shen Zhi? Are you inside?” Qin Huai frowned, slapping the thick door panel, “Hao Yan?”
The empty corridor was as silent as a black hole, where even the slightest sound could be infinitely magnified.
The door remained closed.
Qin Huai started a video call again. The beeping sound got softer as time went on, and finally hung up because no one answered. Qin Huai didn’t give up and continued to pound the door with her fist, “Shen Zhi? Are you inside? Open the door.”
“Stop knocking.”
A familiar voice came from behind. Qin Huai stopped the fist that was about to hit the door and turned around. Borrowing the light from the changing room, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, “Hao Yan?”
The door to the changing room was ajar, brightly lit inside, while the outside was dim and blurred. Hao Yan leaned against the door frame, smiling faintly, “It’s me. What’s wrong?”
“Where is Shen Zhi?” There was no other sound inside the changing room. Qin Huai asked with a cold face, “Where did you trick Shen Zhi into going?”
“She doesn’t need me to trick her.” Hao Yan’s tone carried contempt, her baby face showed an unprecedented sense of ease, “Only you would be fooled by the facade she puts up.”
In the darkness, Qin Huai’s eyes narrowed.
Hao Yan straightened up and slowly approached Qin Huai, “But none of that matters anymore. You should be worried about yourself now.”
As soon as her voice fell, the previously relaxed Hao Yan suddenly became tense. The hand she had kept in her pocket was suddenly pulled out. She wrapped her arms around Qin Huai’s neck, covering Qin Huai’s mouth with a square piece of cloth.
Qin Huai was naturally not easy to deal with. She was taller than Hao Yan, so it wasn’t easy for the other person to seize her from behind. When she leaned her neck back, she bent her elbow and thrust it towards Hao Yan’s lower abdomen.
A silent, muffled grunt.
Hao Yan hissed, tightening her arms harder around Qin Huai’s throat. The darkness concealed the sharpness in her eyes, leaving only a dull sound produced by her struggle.
Qin Huai’s throat was heavily restricted, her face flushed from lack of air. She used every method at her disposal to stop Hao Yan’s actions, but the gauze with the drug over her mouth and nose gradually made her body weaken. Finally, her head sank, and she collapsed, unconscious.
In the darkness, Hao Yan’s eyebrows raised, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.
Qin Huai woke up again in the changing room. She was sitting on a chair, her arms bound behind her back with hemp rope. The smell of orange in the room was as strong as if a bottle of perfume had been smashed. A needle-like pain radiated from the gland at the back of her neck.
Qin Huai’s eyebrows furrowed, creating lines of determined creases. Having just woken up from unconsciousness, her head was heavy like a stone. The familiar surroundings calmed Qin Huai, but being held captive made her extremely irritable.
“Hao Yan?” Qin Huai’s voice was a little hoarse. She called out the name of the last person she saw before she fainted, “Get out here.”
The room was silent.
The person must have left. Qin Huai gave up resisting, waiting for someone to come to the lab tomorrow morning to untie her from this constraint. However, this clarity didn’t last long, because in the next second, the familiar heat that all omegas knew expanded like a ball of fire within her body.
Inside the Alpha dorm.
Shen Zhi just came out of the shower, her wet hair dripping, soaking her freshly changed pajamas. The alpha seemed not to notice, distractedly putting the towel into the washbasin.
Qin Huai hadn’t spoken to her all day. She had been hesitant to open that transfer record from noon.
She was afraid that if she accidentally opened it, she would be met with a prompt that Qin Huai had deleted her as a friend.
She had finally waited for Qin Huai to break up. Finally managed to reach her. Finally made her heart flutter.
Why was she so impatient that day?
The more Shen Zhi thought about it, the more she regretted it, wishing she could go back in time and slap the alpha who spoke such nonsense.
In the distance, Zhang Mo was playing a game on the computer. Hearing the door open, she kept her eyes on the screen and reminded her, “Shen Zhi, your phone rang just now.”
“Who?” Shen Zhi asked listlessly.
Zhang Mo: “I didn’t look at your phone, but it must have been urgent, it rang three or four times before hanging up.”
Incoming calls on WeChat or phone calls could usually be checked without a phone password. Sometimes when Shen Zhi was in the shower and didn’t bring her phone, Zhang Mo would answer it for her and then tell her when she came out.
But the situation was special today. Zhang Mo was engrossed in her game, and usually, people looking for Shen Zhi at this time weren’t for anything serious, so she didn’t pay much attention.
Shen Zhi walked to the desk, lit up the screen, and the four missed calls showed up in bright red, stimulating her nerves.
The caller ID was none other than Qin Huai.
Qin Huai’s calling style was actually somewhat similar to her personality. If a voice call didn’t connect, she would choose to dial the number once. If both didn’t connect, she would choose to leave a message. She would never call four times in a row.
Shen Zhi’s eyelids twitched, and a premonition of something bad flashed in her heart. She unlocked her phone.
As expected, the red notification popped up in the upper right corner of the contact profile that had the unreceived transfer prompt.
Shen Zhi clicked it, and the next second, she grabbed the clothes draped over the back of the chair and put them on.
Zhang Mo heard the sound of the chair scraping against the floor behind her. She turned her head in the gap of the game. Shen Zhi was standing barefoot on the ground, one pant leg stuck at her thigh, and the other piled up at her ankle. Zhang Mo asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Something happened to Qin Huai.” Shen Zhi finally got her pants on, holding the waistband, and started putting on her shoes with her head lowered.
The phone was on the desk, and the screen displayed Qin Huai’s voice chat page vibrating with a “buzzing” sound.
Zhang Mo immediately stopped playing her game, “What happened? Do you want me to go with you?”
“Not yet.” The voice ringtone stopped. Qin Huai pressed the phone she was holding to her chest, threw her jacket over her shoulder, and ran out, “If I don’t call you in half an hour, call the police.”
Outside the dormitory building, only the streetlights remained quiet, and the evening breeze swayed the tree branches back and forth.
Shen Zhi ran towards the laboratory in just a short-sleeved shirt. The benefits of long-term exercise kept her from feeling heavy even when accelerating. The alpha took huge strides. When encountering stairs, she used her long legs to step down three steps at a time. By the time she finally reached the teaching building, the elevator was still parked high up. A thin layer of sweat had seeped onto Shen Zhi’s forehead, and her face was flushed from the exercise. She anxiously pressed the down button, but the elevator didn’t move for a long time. Shen Zhi turned and climbed the stairs.
The stairs on each floor of the teaching building were designed to be short, but the floor where the laboratory was located was high. Halfway through the climb, Shen Zhi’s calves ached from exhaustion, and she accidentally knocked them against the edge of a step. She panted heavily, didn’t bother to look at the injury, and continued to climb, holding onto the handrail.
By the time she reached the laboratory floor, her legs were exhausted, and she could only drag them forward.
“Qin Huai?” Shen Zhi called out in the dark corridor, “Are you here?”
In the changing room, Qin Huai’s eyes were half-closed, her dark eyelashes glued together. Her complexion was pale, her usually light-colored lips slightly parted in a silent whisper, “I am.”
Shen Zhi stopped at the door of the laboratory, one hand on the door handle. The usually flexible door handle felt stuck on a stone and couldn’t be opened.
“Qin Huai? Are you here?” Shen Zhi knocked on the door.
“I am.” Qin Huai stared at the door with unfocused eyes, her voice like grabbing the last vine after falling into a well a signal for help, “I am.”
Shen Zhi immediately realized and looked at the tightly closed changing room next to the laboratory.
The sound was coming from inside.
Shen Zhi took a deep breath, her collarbone particularly prominent from the effort. Her breathing was disordered, and her arm trembled slightly as she pressed the door handle.
The door opened from the outside.
Shen Zhi immediately saw Qin Huai tied to a chair in the changing room.
The omega’s long clothes and pants were covered with dust. Her neatly tied long hair was slightly loose, and the strands on both sides escaped from her hair and hung down by her ears, showing a kind of disheveled state that was inconsistent with her usual self. The omega was staring at the door, her pale skin showing a thin layer of red. Her usually calm and self-possessed eyes were half-closed, her eyelids lowered, concealing the hint of lust in her eyes.
“You’re finally here,” the omega’s voice was low and hoarse, carrying a sense of relief and joy.
The scent of orange pheromones rushed out of the door the moment it opened. Shen Zhi walked behind Qin Huai, looking at the hemp rope on her wrists and asked, “Who did this?”
“Hao Yan.”
Shen Zhi frowned and buried her head to untie the rope. The omega’s wrists were very thin, and her skin was very white. The slightest lack of attention would cause red marks to appear. Shen Zhi looked at the redness on the omega’s wrists, and her throat moved.
“Is it untied?” Qin Huai shook her wrist.
Shen Zhi sped up, “Almost.”
Qin Huai closed her eyes. The alpha’s palm was both strange and familiar. While untying the rope, her fingertips would slide across the inside of her wrist, causing a subtle itch. The itch was like ants gnawing, not painful, but causing discomfort in her body.
Qin Huai bit her lip, suppressing the sound rising in her throat.
Finally, her wrists were freed.
Qin Huai’s hands regained their freedom. As she supported the chair with one hand, preparing to get up, the heat in her body surged into her calves as if sensing the movement. She stumbled and fell straight to the ground.
The alpha behind her reacted quickly, supporting her arm in the last second.
“Qin Huai, you’re in heat.” Shen Zhi touched her snow-white wrist, her palm scalding hot.
Qin Huai’s eyes were red, looking at the person who was close at hand. Even though her mind was in chaos, when she saw Shen Zhi, she managed to find a rare clear space for thought.
The alpha in front of her had a fiancée.
This one thought was enough to make her feel disappointed.
Qin Huai supported herself on the cold floor with one hand. With the hand that was being held, she exerted force and fiercely pushed away the alpha in front of her, “Get lost.”
Shen Zhi didn’t expect an omega in heat to have so much strength. She lost her balance and accidentally fell to the ground, “Qin Huai?”
“I want to go out.” Qin Huai swallowed her saliva, her slender neck tightly strained, “Stay away from me. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
“Qin Huai?” Shen Zhi didn’t dare to leave her at all, “Listen to me, your physique is special. It’ll be dangerous if you run out alone during your heat.”
“That’s none of your business either.” Qin Huai’s face was flushed. Even in heat, she was incredibly stubborn, “I’m going to find another alpha.”
