Giving You Dawn And Dusk - Chapter 13

After they finished eating, Liang Shi sent Xu Qingya back to the hotel. Just as she was about to transfer money to her, Xu Qingzhu stopped her.

Xu Qingzhu transferred ten thousand yuan to Xu Qingya and reminded her not to spend recklessly, and not to go fooling around with that group of dubious friends.

Xu Qingya waved at her. “All right, I know. Hurry up and go back.”

Then she called out to Liang Shi, “Sister Liang Shi, control your wife.”

Liang Shi stood at the doorway and smiled helplessly, her smile carrying a hint of indulgence. “How would I dare?”

Xu Qingzhu gave her a light sideways glance.

Those beautiful eyes naturally carried a few traces of amorous charm, looking alluring in a way that seemed both delicate and faintly reproachful.

Liang Shi shrugged, her eyes innocent—It’s to act with you.

Xu Qingya rubbed her arms. “Hurry up and leave. I don’t want to be fed dog food.”

After leaving the hotel, Xu Qingzhu looked exhausted.

The scent of strawberry Baileys drifted faintly through the air.

Normally, Liang Shi’s nose was especially sharp, but today she was a little tired. Ever since transmigrating over, she had barely rested at all, and at this moment, she was only forcing herself to keep her spirits up and cope.

Even so, she still caught that unique fragrance.

The more top-grade an Omega was, the better their scent smelled.

Moreover, pheromones also had degrees of compatibility. The stronger the effect an Omega’s pheromones had on an Alpha, the more compatible their pheromones were.

The blocker’s effectiveness was probably almost over, so the scent that belonged uniquely to an Omega was spreading out.

Liang Shi opened the car door for Xu Qingzhu. After Xu Qingzhu got in, she nodded slightly to her and thanked her softly.

She was much more polite than before.

Liang Shi got into the car and buckled her seat belt. She glanced at Xu Qingzhu, only to realize that Xu Qingzhu had not fastened hers yet.

“Xu Qingzhu,” Liang Shi called. “Seat belt.”

Xu Qingzhu’s brows furrowed slightly. Her straight, long black hair fell over her shoulder, covering her beautiful shoulder blade and half of her collarbone, hanging down in front of her chest.

On the side facing Liang Shi, however, every loose strand of hair was neatly tucked behind her ear, revealing a small, delicate ear and a refined jawline. A faint flush covered her fair cheeks, as if pink blush had been brushed over them. Fine sweat had seeped out on the tip of her nose, the tiny translucent beads reflecting the light inside the car. Her lips were very red, carrying a moist, tender pink sheen.

Like a flower bud about to bloom in spring.

Still touched with morning dew.

Bright and enticing.

The visual impact in that instant was overwhelming.

It made it very hard to look away.

Liang Shi swallowed, then turned her face aside and pressed a hand over her heart, breathing heavily a few times.

After several deep breaths, she finally managed to restrain her heartbeat.

It was not really liking.

This was probably only the appreciation and uncontrollable stirring of someone weak to beautiful faces when faced with a beautiful woman.

Not to mention, this body still contained a few traces of the original owner’s feelings for Xu Qingzhu.

Liang Shi called again, “Xu Qingzhu?”

Xu Qingzhu’s face grew even redder. The scent of her pheromones spread through the car, growing increasingly thick.

How was an Alpha supposed to withstand this?

Liang Shi sighed. She picked up her water and took a sip, calming herself down.

She opened the window on her side halfway, wanting to borrow the early autumn wind to clear her head a little.

Xu Qingzhu only frowned and responded softly, but the sound of that response was far too soft and seductive, hooking at one’s heart until it itched.

Liang Shi wanted to hurry and take her to the hospital, so she had no choice but to lean over and help her fasten the seat belt.

“Excuse me.” As Liang Shi spoke, she leaned over. In that instant, the Alpha pheromones and Omega pheromones tangled together in the air, like two lonely souls meeting after a very long time. The teasing spark was quickly lit, and even the air seemed to crackle with tiny bursts of fire.

Liang Shi nearly failed to restrain herself and press her entire body down on top of her.

Her hand holding the seat belt trembled, and her fingers happened to land on Xu Qingzhu’s abdomen. Just a little higher, and they would have reached a soft place.

She immediately leaned back.

Her body felt as if it had been set on fire.

It was exactly the same sensation as last night.

But right now was not the Alpha’s susceptible period, so it was not as severe as last night. She could still hold on.

As if fleeing for her life, she hurriedly fastened Xu Qingzhu’s seat belt. But the instant she snapped the buckle into place, Xu Qingzhu’s cool fingers brushed over the spot behind her left ear. There was a small raised area there—her gland, the most sensitive place when merging with an Omega.

Her fingertips were very soft. They merely stroked Liang Shi’s gland lightly.

Yet Liang Shi felt as though all the strength had been drained from her body.

Liang Shi: “……”

“Hos…pital.” Xu Qingzhu said haltingly, her fingers suddenly curling. But her nails scraped over Liang Shi’s gland.

A sharp sting.

Liang Shi even wondered whether she had done it on purpose.

But at least she finally managed to escape. A layer of sweat had broken out across her back.

If this happened a few more times, she estimated she might lose her life.

Who could possibly withstand Haizhou’s number one Omega flirting like this?

Afraid that Xu Qingzhu’s pheromone scent would drift outside, Liang Shi closed the window and turned on the car’s air conditioning.

Xu Qingzhu, who was wearing a dress, shrank into the corner with her arms wrapped around herself from the cold. Liang Shi then draped her own jacket over her.

The journey back to the hospital was difficult all the way through.

Seeing that Xu Qingzhu was already in a half-unconscious state, with even a physiological tear hanging at the corner of her eye, Liang Shi simply did not call out to her. She directly carried her into the hospital.

//

Zhao Xuning was not on the night shift today, but because she was worried about Xu Qingzhu after she left the hospital, she simply swapped shifts with a colleague.

By ten o’clock, Xu Qingzhu still had not returned. Zhao Xuning was about to call her, but just as she took out her phone, she saw Liang Shi carrying Xu Qingzhu in.

The situation did not look good.

“What happened?” Zhao Xuning asked. “Didn’t she get a blocker injection?”

“The medicine wore off,” Liang Shi answered concisely.

At this moment, Omega pheromones were drifting through the hospital lobby, and many Alphas smelled it.

The scent was so sweet that it made a seriously ill Alpha faint, causing a brief moment of chaos.

Back in the ward, Zhao Xuning gave Xu Qingzhu another suppressant injection. After setting up the IV drip, Xu Qingzhu fell deeply asleep.

Liang Shi stayed in her ward for a while before leaving.

It was too late, and Liang Shi was too lazy to return to the villa, so she simply went back to her ward upstairs. When she looked at the time, it was already eleven o’clock.

She lay on the bed, her mind rapidly flashing through this long day.

Too many people had appeared, and too many things had happened.

All of these people and events had disrupted the rhythm of her original life and left her somewhat at a loss.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should use amnesia as an excuse in the future, or use “turning over a new leaf and becoming a new person” as an excuse, that urgent phone ringtone sounded again.

It startled her so badly that she jolted.

…

She was going to change this ringtone in a moment.

Liang Shi looked at the note. It was Mrs. Liang.

In other words, the original owner’s current mother.

Liang Shi pressed her brow and took a deep breath, trying to drive away her exhaustion this way. She answered the call in the final second before the ringtone was about to end. “Hello?”

“Nannan, are you asleep yet?” Qiu Zimin asked kindly.

“Not yet,” Liang Shi answered. “I was just about to sleep.”

“As long as I’m not disturbing you.” Qiu Zimin smiled. “Mom called because I wanted to tell you that I’ve already made arrangements with Mrs. Zhou. You and An’an will meet the day after tomorrow at Cangyue Restaurant. You’ll have a meal together. If you’re compatible, you can continue getting to know each other.”

Liang Shi: “……?”

Why did this set of words sound so much like a blind date?

If the original owner were single, she could still understand it. The problem was that the original owner was married.

“An’an’s side said that she doesn’t mind your previous romantic history,” Qiu Zimin said. “As long as everything is cleaned up before you two get married.”

Liang Shi: “?”

“Mom, you must have made a mistake.” Liang Shi felt helpless. “I’m already married.”

“What mistake did I make?” Qiu Zimin sounded a little angry. “If you’re married, you can still get divorced. Besides, weren’t you the one who asked me to arrange this for you? You said you didn’t like the current one anymore and wanted to change to someone new.”

Liang Shi: “……”

God, please save her.
