The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 67

No matter how much the Alpha in estrus reduced their presence, the oppressive scent of their pheromones was still very strong.

Shen Zhi lay on the sofa, looking out the window. The black of the night was thick, and the wind rustled the leaves of the trees. The hot, swollen feeling in her ankle gradually subsided, but a fine, dense pain still lingered, like being pricked by fine needles.

The bedroom door was tightly locked, and the ticking of the clock in the living room was exceptionally clear. The whole house was enveloped in a deathly silence.

Shen Zhi’s eyes were sore, and she forced herself to blink. Tears of physiological origin uncontrollably streamed from the corners of her eyes. She dared not close her eyes, afraid that if she did, and then opened the door again, she would no longer see Qin Huai’s figure in the bedroom.

She had been watching Qin Huai’s shadow for so long, walking the path Qin Huai had walked, and she didn’t want to continue.

Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, Shen Zhi stared at the ceiling and began to review what she had seen today.

That room filled with pheromones, with glass bottles full of scents, was so dimly lit that it relied only on a window on the wall for a little light. While she could dismiss other scents as perfume, she could still smell Qin Huai’s orange scent, even when mingled with countless other fragrances.

That scent had once been tightly intertwined with her own pheromones, like inseparable, delicate, and firm vines.

Pheromones were an extremely intimate thing for them, and it was impossible for them to be displayed in such a place. Yet, not only were they displayed here, but there was more than one. Shen Zhi didn’t know about others, but she was clear about Qin Huai; the person was very conscious of boundaries and would never allow her pheromones to be placed in such a location.

Shen Zhi heard her father say today that the person they were originally supposed to meet was the owner of the laboratory, a young and promising Alpha. However, that owner was delayed due to a sudden commitment, so the person who came instead was the head of the project Qin Huai’s father, Qin Zhijing.

Qin Huai’s pheromones were displayed in that room. As her father, did Qin Zhijing know? If not, then who was the real person in charge of this laboratory? What exactly was the research direction? If he did know.

Qin Huai’s pheromones had been extracted by Hao Yan that night, and Hao Yan was now dead, yet the pheromones were displayed in that ominous place.

Then what about Qin Huai?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi’s heart beat faster than usual, and the chill on her back gradually spread throughout her body.

She dared not think further, but she had to, because this matter concerned Qin Huai’s safety, and if she didn’t carefully consider it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shen Zhi sighed deeply, raised her hand toward the nearby coffee table, wanting a little water to calm herself down. But just as she raised her hand, the lock on the bedroom door suddenly clicked. Shen Zhi immediately closed her eyes.

The soft footsteps of an Omega approached the living room from the bedroom. Shen Zhi’s eyelashes trembled, and she uncertainly gripped the blanket next to her.

Alphas in estrus were very sensitive to the capture of Omega pheromones. Even though Qin Huai’s pheromones could not comfort Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi still felt the sweet, unique orange scent of Qin Huai diffusing in the air.

The current situation was awkward. Shen Zhi dared not open her eyes, afraid that doing so would startle the Omega next to her, forcing the person to grow defensive thorns.

The lights in the living room were very bright. Even with her eyes closed, Shen Zhi could perceive the light in front of her. She was silently counting numbers in her heart when the light in front of her suddenly dimmed, followed by a sweet fragrance spreading through her nostrils.

The hand under the blanket uncontrollably clenched that softness.

Then, something soft pressed against her lips.

Shen Zhi’s estrus lasted for four days this time, and she recovered by Wednesday noon. Shen Zhi, wearing slippers, rubbed her hair as she sat up from the sofa, the vague fragments in her mind dispersing. A faint scent of sandalwood still lingered in the living room, and the light shimmered in the air, stirring up tiny specks of dust.

The Alpha, dressed in a loose white T-shirt and grey sports shorts, tested the floor with her feet. The pain in her ankle had eased a lot compared to the previous days, but when she actually stepped down firmly, she still frowned. She stood up, bending her right leg slightly, and called, “Huai Huai.”

The room was quiet, with no one answering.

Shen Zhi quickly walked a few steps forward. Just as she left the sofa area, her ankle hurt again from stepping too hard. This time the pain was significantly worse than before. Unable to support herself, Shen Zhi bent her knees and squatted down right there.

Fear, like a tide, surged over her, hitting her so hard that she couldn’t breathe.

She couldn’t stand up for a short while, so she could only use her hands to grab the ground and move forward. Given the current special circumstances, Qin Huai was in danger at any moment. Today, with her estrus over, she had relaxed her guard more than usual, and she hadn’t expected Qin Huai to leave at this time.

She moved her foot forward a few steps, and the tightly closed door diagonally behind her suddenly made a “creak” sound.

Shen Zhi’s palm froze, her eyes fixed on the floor, her body too stiff to move. However, if she didn’t move, someone else would. When she came back to her senses, a pair of delicate ankles appeared in her line of sight.

Following the ankles upward, the calves were slender and straight, the waist easily encircled, until her gaze met those eyes. Shen Zhi’s hanging heart finally relaxed.

The Omega frowned, her dark eyes looking seriously at her, and asked, “What are you doing?”

Shen Zhi remained silent, only maintaining that angle to stare at her, the skin around her eye sockets trembling slightly.

Qin Huai guessed what was going on, seeing the distance from the sofa to this spot. She squatted down and held Shen Zhi’s hand still resting on the ground. “Get up first.”

Shen Zhi’s palm did not release. She seemed to be holding back something, the skin on her neck taut. The simple, smooth lines looked like glass, seemingly hard but actually unable to withstand any attempt to throw it on the ground. Her long hair hung down, and sweat made her white clothes damp.

“Have you been in the bathroom all this time?” Shen Zhi raised her hand and grabbed the Omega’s wrist, her eyes fixed.

Qin Huai’s wrist was uncomfortable from being grabbed and she wanted to pull it away, but seeing Shen Zhi in this state, she had to give up. “Yes.”

The second that answer ended, Qin Huai didn’t know how to describe Shen Zhi’s expression. It was as if something that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was finally released. All the tension, uncertainty, and that hidden trace of pity disappeared.

The Alpha pulled at the corner of her mouth, a slight dimple appearing on her cheek, and she said with a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

These three words were inexplicable. Just as Qin Huai was about to ask a few questions out of confusion, Shen Zhi’s other hand suddenly covered her other arm. “Student-sister, my foot hurts.”

The confusion was momentarily set aside. Qin Huai glanced at the spot and said two very harsh words, “Serves you right.”

Although she sounded extremely disgusted, Qin Huai still helped the Alpha up by her arm, settled her onto the sofa, and then went to the TV cabinet to get the medicine box, placing it on the coffee table. She stood to the side, arms crossed.

The air was still for a few seconds.

Shen Zhi pointed to the unopened medicine box and said uncertainly, “Student-sister, aren’t you going to help me?”

Qin Huai’s posture was very casual. She lowered her eyes to look at Shen Zhi’s foot, then turned to look at Shen Zhi’s hands.

The young Alpha felt guilty from the scrutiny and rubbed her earlobe, asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Did you hurt your foot?” Qin Huai said coldly, “I thought you hurt your hands.”

The current situation certainly couldn’t compare to estrus, but Shen Zhi had become used to the Omega coming over with the medicine box to help her apply medicine after she fell asleep these past few days. When the smell of traditional Chinese medicine was strong, that’s when Qin Huai would kiss her.

Qin Huai always thought she was asleep, but Shen Zhi was more awake than anyone at that time.

“Who spoiled you with such a bad habit?” Qin Huai said sharply. “Do it yourself.”

Shen Zhi obediently opened the medicine box and mumbled softly, “You did.”

The voice was so small and weak that Qin Huai only heard the word “you,” and frowned, asking, “What did you say?”

Shen Zhi didn’t hide it and simply asked the question that had been bothering her. “Student-sister, was it you who applied medicine to me every night?”
