The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 73

The next day, when Qin Huai woke up, the bedroom was pitch black, with only a sliver of light peeking through the curtain gap. She rubbed her dry eyes and subconsciously moved toward the other side of the bed, only to find that the expected touch wasn’t there.

Qin Huai stretched her arms and yawned, putting on her slippers and looking from the bedroom to the living room, “Shen Zhi.”

The living room was spotlessly clean, the fuzzy blanket on the sofa was folded and placed in the corner, and the coffee table only had two glass cups and a white water heater.

Qin Huai’s throat was a little dry. As she sat on the sofa, preparing to pour herself some water, she noticed a note Shen Zhi had left her: “I’m heading to school first. Call me when you wake up.”

A crying emoji followed the message.

Qin Huai held the water cup with both hands, her lips touching the rim, a faint smile visible in her eyes.

Her phone was right beside her. Just as she was about to call Shen Zhi, her advisor suddenly posted an announcement in the group chat.

【Advisor: The lab has suffered minor damage and is currently being repaired. It is expected to be successfully repaired tomorrow.】

Many fellow students immediately followed with question marks (“?”).

The advisor was probably busy and didn’t reply to any of the questions. After everyone pressed for details a few times and realized no one knew the full story, they quieted down.

With a suddenly free day, Qin Huai had originally planned to go back to sleep, then return to school to look up materials. Just as she clicked on the contact list on WeChat, intending to send a message to Shen Zhi, she paused for a moment and decided to put her phone away.

It was a rare day off, and the little one’s foot was still uncomfortable. If she spent the whole day alone at school, the resentment in the evening would probably be greater, and the retaliatory actions likely more numerous. It was a perfect time for her to go to the freshman year and resign from her position as an assisting senior sister with the advisor.

Once Qin Huai made a decision, she acted immediately, never delaying. Shen Zhi’s house didn’t have her clothes, so she had no choice but to open the closet and pull out a set of Shen Zhi’s clothes. She didn’t like overly complicated garments and casually grabbed a white t-shirt and jeans.

Qin Huai rarely spent time on what she wore; comfort was all that mattered. After putting on Shen Zhi’s clothes, she turned around in front of the mirror. Other than being a bit baggy and showing most of her collarbone, there were no issues.

After dressing, Qin Huai reached out and touched the scent gland on the back of her neck. The area was bare, the touch delicate and smooth.

Qin Huai was long accustomed to keeping an inhibitor patch in her pocket as a backup, but she left in a hurry yesterday and didn’t bring anything. She would have to go to the pharmacy downstairs later to buy a pack.

After getting ready, Qin Huai only took her phone and left the house.

The temperature today was significantly lower than yesterday, and the weather was gloomy. The trees in the residential area swayed in the wind, and rolled-up garbage bags were flying across the lawn.

It looked like it was going to rain. Qin Huai walked and checked her phone. The weather forecast showed it would be windy all day but didn’t mention rain. Qin Huai felt slightly relieved and walked towards the complex entrance.

Because this area was close to the school, there were many shops selling food nearby. Qin Huai found a pharmacy and went in to buy an inhibitor patch. She wanted to buy her usual old-style one, but the store didn’t have it. The clerk handed her an inhibitor patch that was very popular with Omegas recently.

Something was better than nothing.

Qin Huai paid for it immediately, borrowed a small space from the clerk, and tore open the inhibitor patch packaging.

It was a clean, refreshing white inhibitor patch, slightly larger than a band-aid, with a somewhat minimalist design. Its surface texture was cottony and felt very comfortable to the touch. The box also contained a black pen.

Qin Huai didn’t understand why there was a pen in the inhibitor patch box, assuming the manufacturer thoughtfully provided it for Omegas to record their heat period. She was about to take out her phone to take a picture of the inhibitor patch packaging, intending to buy this brand in the future.

Just as she opened the camera page, the door was tapped from the outside, and the clerk’s voice came in, “Miss, do you need help?”

“Click.” Qin Huai quickly took the photo, put away her phone, and casually tore off an inhibitor patch, “No need.”

The clerk didn’t rush her. After Qin Huai applied the inhibitor patch to her scent gland and confirmed it was secure, she opened the door and came out, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The clerk was an eighteen-year-old Omega with large, round eyes. She pursed her lips, inadvertently glancing at Qin Huai’s neck, and asked, “Miss, do you have an Alpha?”

Qin Huai didn’t like people prying into her private life, but the clerk didn’t seem malicious, “I guess I do.”

As soon as she finished speaking, if the clerk’s gaze was merely friendly before, it now sparkled, “Miss, did you throw away the pen in the inhibitor patch package?”

Qin Huai shook her head and pulled it out of her jeans pocket, “This?”

“Yes, this is it. Don’t throw it away.” The clerk said, “Although our store’s inhibitor patches are expensive, they’re expensive for a reason. If it’s your heat period or your Alpha’s rut period later, you can have her write her name on the inhibitor patch. It’s really stimulating.”

Qin Huai was a bit confused.

The clerk continued, “It’s like that kind of marking, from the body to the soul. Moreover, this inhibitor can absorb Alpha pheromones, and the scent won’t disappear for a week. That intimate, private feeling is really great!”

If Qin Huai still didn’t understand, she would be truly foolish. She instantly felt the pen in her hand was like a hot potato, not knowing where to put it. Shoving it into her mouth felt like it was burning her chest.

When she left the pharmacy, Qin Huai was in a daze, not even noticing the raindrops starting to fall from the sky.

It wasn’t until she entered the school that she snapped back to reality. She didn’t dwell on the pen, casually putting it in her pocket out of sight, and headed straight to the dorm to get an umbrella.

After leaving the dorm, she planned to go to the freshman year advisor’s office first, and then find Shen Zhi in her classroom. However, before she could take a step, Han Yishuang’s call came in.

Qin Huai’s eyebrows slightly furrowed when she saw the caller ID, her expression losing its previous relaxation, “Senior Sister.”

“I just saw you at school,” Han Yishuang said, “Come to the teaching building. Let’s discuss the experiment progress. I’ll send you the classroom number later.”

Qin Huai really wanted to tell Han Yishuang directly that she couldn’t go today, but it was her own experiment. Since someone else cared about it, she couldn’t refuse too much no matter what.

Qin Huai replied with an “Mm,” agreeing to the request.

After hanging up, Qin Huai sighed quietly. With the notification sound of WeChat ringing again on her phone, she slowed her pace and walked toward the teaching building.

The classroom Han Yishuang chose was on the floor below the lab. When Qin Huai entered, the Alpha was busy writing and drawing on a piece of paper, with a bright laptop placed beside her.

Hearing footsteps, Han Yishuang looked up from the scratch paper, pointing to the breakfast on the desk with her chin, “Have something to eat first.”

Qin Huai wasn’t hungry. She sat in the chair opposite Han Yishuang, separated by a desk, “I’m not hungry.” Seeing that Han Yishuang was about to say something more, Qin Huai immediately interrupted, “Senior Sister, what were you saying on the phone just now?”

Bringing up the experiment easily changed the topic for Han Yishuang, “I just found that we always failed those few times in the experiment.”

Qin Huai recalled the small explosion yesterday. Although not many things were damaged, the sense of frustration was strong for the people who had been researching it. Hearing Han Yishuang’s words, she leaned slightly forward, waiting for the other person to continue.

Han Yishuang pulled the laptop screen closer to Qin Huai, and they both looked at it, “Look at this part. It’s not that we got the quantity wrong; it’s that we used the wrong experimental reagent from the very beginning.”

Han Yishuang said, pointing at the screen with the tip of her pen at a slight distance, “Most of the formula you brought back had no issues, but later, I checked a lot of data and found that although the modifications from the initial formula to the later ones were minor, the closer we got to the end, the more critical the modified parts became.”

“The predecessors who researched the first batch of inhibitors must have made multiple corrections afterward.”

Han Yishuang’s emotions became slightly agitated toward the end of her speech. Qin Huai glanced at the screen, and indeed, it was as Han Yishuang predicted. However, when she wrote it out in front of Zhou Yue at the exchange meeting, Zhou Yue also said there were no problems.

So, who made the changes in between?

“Who made the changes doesn’t matter anymore,” Han Yishuang’s eyes were excited, “The important thing is that we can restore it immediately, and then, based on the first batch of inhibitors, we can develop an even stronger inhibitor.”

The Alpha spoke with an unstoppable passion, her eyes subtly reflecting a certain obsession.

Qin Huai gripped the paper in her hand. Her actual goal for this experiment was not to upgrade the inhibitor’s function but to lower its cost-effectiveness so that more Omegas could afford to use it.

Han Yishuang’s idea was contrary to hers.

“Junior Sister, aren’t you happy?” Han Yishuang asked, “We are about to succeed.”

Qin Huai only twitched the corners of her mouth, “Yes, I’m quite happy.”

“To celebrate finding the answer, Senior Sister is treating you to dinner today.” Han Yishuang began packing the items on the desk, “You must not refuse and spoil Senior Sister’s excitement.”

Qin Huai watched her stuff everything on the desk into her bag and could only swallow the words in her mouth.

When the two came out of the teaching building, the rain was already pouring down, and the ground was slick with water. Han Yishuang held an umbrella and asked Qin Huai, “Junior Sister, is there anything you’d like to eat?”

“No.” Qin Huai held her own umbrella and picked up her phone to send a message to Shen Zhi.

“I’ve already called a car. It will be at the school gate soon. Let’s hurry.” Han Yishuang put away her phone and urged.

Qin Huai immediately turned off the screen, opened her umbrella, and walked beside Han Yishuang toward the school gate.

She hadn’t sent the message yet, and she wondered if Shen Zhi would be anxiously waiting.

Qin Huai’s mood at the moment was as messy as the weather today.

She had just come down from the entrance of the teaching building and was about to walk into the rain when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

Qin Huai’s steps paused, subconsciously thinking it was impossible.

The voice behind her called out again, mixed with the sound of rain, sounding indistinct.

But she still uncontrollably turned her head. Jiangcheng University paid great attention to planting greenery, and almost every college entrance had trees less than two meters tall.

At this moment, the wind was violently shaking the branches, as if they could snap if the force were a little stronger. Shen Zhi stood not far away, completely soaked, her eyes fixed on Qin Huai.
