Daily Life Of A Socially Anxious Scumbag Alpha Raising Flowers - Chapter 6
On the way home, Wen Xin’s peripheral vision kept drifting toward Dong Xun in the passenger seat from time to time.
During the consultation just now, Zhong Siyu had asked many questions about the details of Dong Xun’s daily life and condition.
Especially after learning about Dong Xun’s suicidal tendencies, Zhong Siyu’s expression had grown very grave.
She said Dong Xun’s depression was very severe and told Wen Xin to prepare herself mentally for long-term treatment.
She also prescribed Dong Xun some medication—some with calming effects, and some to help with sleep…
In order to give the patient positive psychological cues, Wen Xin followed the doctor’s instructions and tried her best to act as if nothing was abnormal.
Just as she had on the way there, she smiled normally and chatted with Dong Xun. “Since it wasn’t easy to come out, let’s buy some things on the way back too.”
Dong Xun had no objections.
When they arrived at the mall, Wen Xin put on sunglasses and a mask again, fully armed before getting out of the car.
Noticing Dong Xun’s gaze, she gave an embarrassed laugh. “Cough… I saw online that covered-face outfits seem to be pretty popular lately.”
Dong Xun nodded seriously.
Her expression looked as if she completely believed it.
After a pause, she also put on the mask and sunglasses Wen Xin had prepared for her before they came.
Wen Xin’s gaze instantly softened.
Wuwu, she actually believed it!
Was Dong Xun some kind of angel sent to save introverts from embarrassment?
And so, the two of them entered the mall in those strange outfits that drew attention.
After receiving the nth passerby’s stare, Wen Xin truly started to feel a little unable to handle it.
The face under her mask had long since started heating up. She could not help doing what she always used to do when hiding beside her mother—she grabbed Dong Xun’s hand and, following the motion, pressed her whole body closer, seeking a sense of security.
The faint strawberry-scented pheromones moved closer. Dong Xun’s walking motion almost froze in an instant.
By her ear was a soft, fine whisper carrying a trace of urgency. “Dong Xun, can we hurry up, buy everything, and leave quickly?”
The ending tone carried a hint of coquettishness that its owner did not even realize.
Wen Xin was a born and bred Nancheng person. Because her health had been poor, from childhood, she had been the treasured darling her whole family wished they could pamper like the apple of their eye. Her family had always spoken to her gently and softly. Growing up in that kind of environment, Wen Xin’s own speaking tone was soft too.
She herself was unaware of it, but in this world ruled by pheromones, that had enormous destructive power.
Dong Xun curled her fingers uncontrollably.
As punishment, Wen Xin had not temporarily marked her for two months. Because of that, the last two sensitive periods had been something she forcibly endured on her own through inhibitors.
And now, her sensitive period for this month was about to arrive again.
The inhibitor collar sensed that the pheromone concentration had reached the critical point and had already activated its forced prevention function. The needle port behind the collar pierced into her gland, and the inhibitor temporarily took effect, easing that restless urge.
But the function of the inhibitor collar was limited in the end. It could take effect for three hours at most—and that was under the premise that, within those three hours, there was no interference from Alpha pheromones.
Yet Wen Xin remained pressed close to her the entire time.
Dong Xun felt awful.
Especially with the steady stream of strawberry-scented pheromones coming from beside her, she simply could not control the instinct that wanted to seek more.
Bursts of heat also came from the area around her gland.
Dong Xun was terrified of this feeling of losing control. The agitation in her heart grew heavier and heavier. She wanted to leave this place.
Fortunately, because of her social anxiety, Wen Xin also urgently wanted to go back.
She brought Dong Xun straight to the merchandise section with a clear goal. After buying what she wanted, she quickly went through the self-checkout counter and returned to the car.
But inside the cramped space of the car, Dong Xun only felt that the strawberry scent of the person beside her had grown even stronger.
Dong Xun tightly clenched the fabric of her sleeve, damp sweat gradually seeping into her palm. She was desperately suppressing her instincts.
The scent of pheromones inside the car grew thicker and thicker. Innocent Wen Xin finally began to realize that something was wrong too. During this period, as she gradually searched for information and learned about this ABO world, she had already discovered that the pleasant cold-fir fragrance always surrounding Dong Xun was not perfume, but the scent of pheromones.
Because a person could not smell their own pheromone scent, she had previously been curious about what her own pheromones smelled like.
But the relationship between the original owner and Dong Xun was far too awkward and twisted. Added to Wen Xin’s social anxiety, she had been too embarrassed to ask.
Thinking of the ABO physiology book she had just finished reading, Wen Xin’s gaze landed on Dong Xun’s collar at once. Sure enough, the symbol showing the stored inhibitor there had already changed.
Her heart tightened, and she felt somewhat at a loss. “Dong Xun, are you okay?”
“My sensitive period came early.”
Dong Xun’s voice clearly carried a tremor she could no longer suppress.
“I-I’ll take you home right away!!”
Although she had already guessed as much, after receiving a definite answer, Wen Xin’s mind still instantly became a tangled mess. What was she supposed to do? The book had only described it briefly. She did not know exactly how an Alpha was supposed to help an Omega get through a sensitive period, aaaaaah!!
Fortunately, they were not far from home. In less than half an hour, Wen Xin drove back home with Dong Xun at top speed.
Their home was on the sixth floor, and this building only had stairs.
Because Dong Xun had been affected by pheromones the whole way, by the time she got out of the car, her legs were already so weak she could not stand.
Yet the parking spot was still some distance from the building they lived in.
Wen Xin did not even have time to grab the things they had bought. She hurriedly supported Dong Xun, gritted her teeth, and directly scooped her up around the waist before rushing home.
“Don’t be scared. I’m here. We’ll be home right away.” Even while running, she did not forget to comfort the person in her arms.
Thankfully, in this ABO world, Alphas had fairly good physiques. The scummy original owner was tall and long-legged, and her strength was also relatively great. Holding Dong Xun was easy. Wen Xin, however, subconsciously still thought she had the weak, useless, sickly body from her last life, so when she picked Dong Xun up, she used all her strength and nearly flipped over together with the person in her arms.
Luckily, the situation was urgent at the moment, and she had no time to care. Otherwise, Wen Xin would probably have been embarrassed for a long while again.
Dong Xun’s face was buried against Wen Xin’s chest, her breathing growing heavier and heavier.
Wen Xin placed her on the bed in the bedroom, then quickly brought over the inhibitors.
“I’ll help you.”
Wen Xin looked at Dong Xun. These past few days, she had crammed quite a bit of knowledge about this world and already knew how to inject inhibitors.
“No need.”
Dong Xun still had what little reason remained. She used three doses of inhibitor with practiced familiarity, her pale fingers digging fiercely into her palm.
Bitterness flowed out into a winding, twisting river.
Sure enough, even after losing her memory, Wen Xin still resisted marking her.
The Wen Xin of the past had wanted to watch her lose her mind and beg her like a dog.
A silent self-mockery surfaced in Dong Xun’s eyes. She curled into a ball on the bed, and at some point, the taste of blood had unconsciously spread through her mouth.
This was what being alive meant…
During every sensitive period, she had to debase herself and beg her own Alpha. Even while knowing full well that what awaited her was humiliation, instinct still made her shameless.
She did not like herself like that. It was disgusting.
Cold tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and Dong Xun’s body trembled even harder.
“Do you still feel awful? What’s going on? Did the inhibitor not take effect?”
Wen Xin noticed Dong Xun’s pained state and felt that something was wrong. She could not help growing anxious. She had read the inhibitor instructions; this thing took effect very quickly. Generally, within one or two minutes, symptoms would be clearly relieved.
But Dong Xun’s symptoms did not look as if they had improved at all.
Only belatedly did Wen Xin realize that the scent of pheromones in the room had grown even stronger. Under its influence, her own body had also begun to heat up.
The effect of the inhibitors had failed completely.
Like a snake, Dong Xun’s arms, white as porcelain, wrapped tightly around Wen Xin’s neck and refused to let go. The corners of her eyes were unbearably red, and her usual calm, self-possessed appearance had collapsed entirely.
After an Omega reached adulthood, they would enter a sensitive period once every month. For unpaired Omegas, inhibitors were generally enough to solve all problems. But once they had been marked, the effectiveness of inhibitors would be greatly reduced.
Especially since Dong Xun had already relied on inhibitors to forcibly get through her sensitive period for two consecutive months. This time, the sensitive period had come suddenly and violently. Before even three hours had passed, Dong Xun had already nearly lost her reason.
Driven by instinct, she desperately craved Wen Xin’s pheromones.
“Wen Xin, help me. Please…”
The woman’s fair skin had long since been dyed red by a rosy flush. Under the light, her usually cool eyes reflected a shattered glow. She looked at Wen Xin, her gaze filled with naked desire. She was like a fish desperate for water, breathing with difficulty, as if asking for rescue.
Wen Xin’s heart pounded.
She did not know whether it was from the running earlier, or because she had been bewitched by the person before her.
“H-how do I help…”
The tips of Wen Xin’s ears were red enough to drip blood. She instinctively turned her head and leaned back, but her neck was tightly hooked by slender arms.
Cold-fir pheromones grew rich and fragrant in the small bedroom, mixed with the sweetness of vanilla.
Wen Xin’s vision grew hotter and hotter. She felt as if she could not summon her strength.
At the same time, she felt a subtle change behind her waist.
A pink marking tail slowly drifted out, wandering all the way to the position of Dong Xun’s gland.
