Transmigrated As an Alpha, The Female Lead Cried in My Arms. - Chapter 11

“I smell it.”

Pei Suyu cast a cool glance at the girl in her arms. “What flavor is the pheromone this time?”

Gan Lu was momentarily stunned by the bizarre question. Even the pheromones swirling in the air thinned for a few seconds. Annoyed, she buried her face in Pei Suyu’s chest and grumbled, “I don’t know! You don’t like it?”

“It’s too sweet,” Pei Suyu evaluated calmly. “A bit pungent.”

As if having a mind of its own, the rejected scent began another round of frantic transformations. This time, it cycled through florals: rose, gardenia, lily…

The rapid-fire scent changes were so intense that Pei Suyu couldn’t help but let out a sneeze. She instinctively reached up to rub her temples, but realizing both her arms were occupied holding a human being, she could only let out a helpless sigh.

“Can you rein in your pheromones? I’m starting to have an allergic reaction to all this ‘pollen’.”

Struck by this blow, the pheromones—which had failed to exude even an ounce of charm—descended into total disarray, cycling through random scents like a malfunctioning AI.

Gan Lu looked up from her teacher’s arms, her eyes brimming with piteous tears.

“Teacher Pei, can you stop being so hard to please? My… my pheromones are already being such a ‘simp.’ Can’t you at least give me a little reaction? This is a huge blow to my confidence.”

Lucky I know you’re “incapable,” Gan Lu added silently in her head, otherwise, the one dying of frustration would be me.

Pei Suyu barely lifted an eyelid. “What kind of reaction do you want?”

Gan Lu looked up expectantly. “You know… a slightly excited expression. Maybe a bit of a lecherous look? Something that shows you have ‘impure’ designs on me.”

Pei Suyu let out a dry snort but didn’t respond.

Finding a comfortable position in the Alpha’s embrace, Gan Lu snuggled in and proposed a daring experiment: “How about I sacrifice my ‘beauty’ a bit and help you find your… feelings?”

She noticed Pei Suyu’s indifferent face twitch almost imperceptibly, and the arms holding her tightened. Gan Lu was secretly delighted. Is Teacher Pei shy? Is she actually a closet romantic?

Fueled by this mental nudge, Gan Lu took the initiative. She reached up and wrapped her arms around Pei Suyu’s neck. The moment she drew close, her internal pheromones began to surge with excitement.

Steady, steady. You can’t let yourself get more flustered than the person you’re trying to seduce! That would be embarrassing!

Gan Lu frantically tried to give her pheromones a pep talk, urging them to be more professional. But before she could settle into her next move, Pei Suyu leaned down.

The distance between them vanished until Gan Lu actually thought her teacher was going to kiss her. Her pheromones were reacting with the enthusiasm of an idiot; there was even a faint scent of toasted caramel in the air.

She closed her eyes, clutching her racing heart, feeling the warm breath ghosting over her skin.

Closer. Even closer…

Suddenly, a cold breeze swept through the gap. Pei Suyu’s voice rang out, icy and sharp, right in her ear. “Gan Lu, do you have a death wish? Are you looking for trouble?”

Startled, Gan Lu snapped her eyes open. Pei Suyu’s usually expressionless face was as rigid as a stone mask.

In the next heartbeat, the girl was scooped up and unceremoniously tossed onto the bed. Before she could offer a word of explanation, she saw Pei Suyu’s grim face as she was forced to swallow a pheromone suppressant.

Gan Lu’s final thought before drifting off was: When did Teacher Pei pull that suppressant out? Her hand speed is incredible.

Watching Gan Lu lying quietly and looking deceptively obedient on the bed, Pei Suyu tried to calm the thumping in her own chest. She couldn’t stop sighing.

What did I do in a past life to deserve this? Why did the heavens send this brat to torture me?

She had been confident that she wouldn’t be affected by Gan Lu’s pheromones. But when the girl had wrapped her arms around her neck, smiling sweetly with that soft, kitten-like voice—Teacher Pei, can’t you at least give me a little reaction?—Pei Suyu realized she had vastly overestimated her own willpower.

She was reaching her breaking point.

The feeling of losing control was deeply unsettling. Without further hesitation, she drove the girl straight to the hospital and dialed Gan Feng’s number.

This student… she truly couldn’t teach her anymore.

The Hospital.

When Gan Lu woke up to the familiar ward and the IV drip in her arm, she knew exactly what had happened without being told. She turned her head toward the nurse in despair. “Nurse sister, how long have I been here?”

The nurse saw her awake and immediately pressed the call button for the attending physician. This patient was the hospital’s “cash cow”; she required constant attention.

“You were brought in at 2:00 AM,” the nurse explained. “It’s 9:00 PM now. Your drip will be finished in half an hour. Is there anything else you need?”

“No, you can go.”

Gan Lu was about to look for her phone to contact Pei Suyu when the door swung open. A troupe of doctors, led by Vice President Chen, filed in. She rolled her eyes and resigned herself to yet another full-body checkup.

Once the exams were over, Director Chen looked at her with a peculiar expression. “Gan Lu, do you feel any discomfort after this episode?”

Gan Lu shook her head blankly. “No. Why?”

“The chaotic pheromones in your body seem to have stabilized significantly. It’s a good sign.” Chen paused, thinking. “Was this heat flare triggered by force, or was it… voluntary?”

Gan Lu’s mind immediately went back to that heart-stopping, nearly successful kiss. She recalled the mixture of nervousness and anticipation, and a deep blush spread across her fair face. She surreptitiously touched her burning cheeks.

“I… I think it was voluntary. I didn’t hate it; I was actually a bit excited.” She gave an embarrassed smile, then quickly added, “Please don’t tell my mom, or she’ll never let me go back to Teacher Pei’s place.”

Hearing her mention Pei Suyu, Chen offered a knowing smile. “It seems your condition isn’t a major issue now. For the time being, these heat flares only occur in response to a specific person. It shouldn’t impact your daily life too much. However…”

The hesitation made Gan Lu anxious. “However what? Don’t leave me hanging, it’s stressful!”

“It’s just that the pheromones you release during a flare will cause an Alpha to have an intense desire for possession over you,” Chen explained. “For your safety, I suggest you don’t go out alone for a while.”

Gan Lu clutched her face, her brows knit in worry. “Uncle Chen, are you sure my pheromones make Alphas possessive? Because that is not the vibe I’m getting. Honestly, I’m feeling pretty insulted. Am I that ugly? How can someone have zero reaction to me?!”

By the end, her face was a portrait of pure resentment.

“Are you talking about Teacher Pei?” Chen chuckled. “She is indeed a bit atypical. She seems to be naturally insensitive to pheromones. These Alphas are rare, but they do exist.”

“No,” Gan Lu shook her head like a rattle. “It’s not that she’s insensitive. It’s that she’s ‘incapable’.”

Chen froze. It took him a long time to find his voice. “You shouldn’t say such things lightly. Perhaps I should have her come in so I can check her over?”

“A proud person like Teacher Pei would never agree to see a doctor,” Gan Lu said, sounding very understanding. “Uncle Chen, is there any way to cure that kind of ‘illness’?”

“Well, such issues can be psychological or physiological. Physiological issues require medication. Psychological ones are more complex; we usually recommend finding the ‘knot’ in their heart and using a gradual, step-by-step psychological approach.”

Hearing the words “step-by-step,” Gan Lu’s eyes went wide. Oh no. Did I go too fast and scare Teacher Pei?

Waaa… Teacher Pei, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to.

While Gan Lu was busy berating herself, Chen finished his rounds. “You’re fine. Rest for two days and you can go home. Just remember to come in for weekly checkups.”

Once the doctors left, Gan Lu grabbed her phone to call Pei Suyu and apologize. Her teacher hadn’t come to see her all day; she must be too embarrassed to show her face.

Sigh, I was way too reckless.

But she called several times, and each one went unanswered.
