The Alluring Boss O's Slacker A (Transmigration GL) - Chapter 11

For the next day, nothing happened between them. Wen Jin occasionally exchanged a few words with Ruan Tingzhi, but not many.

Perhaps because Ruan Tingzhi was angry, or perhaps because she was deliberately keeping her distance, the blue privacy curtain had never once been pulled open.

Wan Shishi came to the hospital once that evening, bringing Ruan Tingzhi a large pile of documents. She also greeted Wen Jin in passing and told her not to worry about her part-time job; she had helped ask for leave on Wen Jin’s behalf.

Because Ruan Tingzhi needed to do a fasting blood routine test, she was pushed out early the next morning.

After Ruan Tingzhi left, a young doctor arrived. He was Ruan Tingzhi’s attending physician, and behind him followed a reporter.

“You can’t go in.” The young doctor blocked the doorway.

“After her test results come out, I’ll conduct a consultation. If you have the ability not to be discovered, then record the audio from outside the door.”

The female reporter pressed her hands together. “We’ve already come all the way here. Please.”

The young doctor looked troubled. “If the director finds out I brought a reporter into a patient’s ward without the patient’s consent, my career will be over.”

“Relax, relax. Then I’ll just go in and take one photo. You gave her anesthesia, right? She hasn’t woken up yet, has she?”

The young doctor nodded.

The female reporter smiled beside him. “This is big news. What if there really is a problem with her pheromones?”

Seeing that the doctor was still hesitating, the female reporter continued, “I think this matter is almost certain. Yesterday, that Omega brought a friend over for treatment, and her pheromones leaked. Everyone saw it. A Beta nurse was knocked unconscious on the spot. It’s already spread on StarNet now. My god. If an Alpha had gotten close at the time, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable. Your hospital will definitely release an announcement this afternoon to explain things. If you give me this information, it’s only a few minutes early. Thanks. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow…”

“…Promise me that after taking the photo, you’ll only record from the doorway.”

The reporter agreed reluctantly.

These two spoke very quietly, but Wen Jin’s mental strength was high, so she was forced to overhear everything.

When they passed Wen Jin’s hospital bed, Wen Jin initially thought they had come to interview her and accidentally pressed the recording button on her phone.

In the end, the two of them directly lifted the blue curtain and discovered that Ruan Tingzhi was not there.

The female reporter began muttering again, but this time, the young doctor did not give in anymore.

With Ruan Tingzhi absent from the ward, the surrounding environment seemed especially noisy. Wen Jin could not help disdaining the hospital’s poor security.

She lay on the bed without even blinking. Her breathing was slow and even, as if she had truly fallen asleep. The two people by the door ignored her existence the entire time.

After Wen Jin’s examination results came out, Chief Ji returned to the ward.

Wen Jin observed that Ji Jun’s expression this time was no longer as lifeless as before. He was even so excited that his voice rose slightly.

“Miss Wen, your current situation may be rather special.”

“The human brain’s capacity is limited. Once mental strength becomes too powerful, if there is no medium to soothe it, it is equivalent to a balloon inflating until it bursts.”

Wen Jin’s expression remained normal. “And then?”

“Betas do not have pheromones as a soothing medium, so their mental strength is generally not high. They do not have susceptible periods or heats, and they cannot experience bonding heat. Their mental strength cannot be comforted. In a long-term state of agitation and depression, because their mental strength exceeds what the body can bear, they may develop symptoms of excessive sleepiness and brain death. So even if an individual Beta with high mental strength appears, they usually die young. The fact that you’ve grown to this age can be called a medical miracle.”

After Chief Ji finished saying all of this in one breath, Wen Jin let out a cold laugh.

She had carefully chosen a Beta shell unaffected by pheromones for retirement. In the end, her mental strength did not match the Beta shell.

This was like comparing three houses and buying a finely decorated small apartment, only to discover that the land beneath the building was under dispute.

Suppressing her anger, Wen Jin asked, “Then can it be saved?”

Chief Ji shook his head.

“Perhaps you should do a deeper examination. I don’t find all classmates noisy.” For example, the female lead O.

“Forgive me for asking, but can you call over the classmate who doesn’t make you feel repelled and have an examination together? Her pheromones may be able to temporarily ease your mental agitation and sleepiness.”

“Probably not.”

Wen Jin rejected the idea without even thinking. At the same time, the neighbor behind the blue curtain, which had been drawn closed all this time, suddenly spoke.

The girl’s voice was light and calm, her tone deliberately seeming to hang someone high in the air. “You’re saying—”

Her tone paused, then sank again as she laughed softly. “There’s a problem with my pheromones?”

The young doctor said, “That is indeed the case.”

“As for the exact situation, further diagnosis is needed. Your pheromones have been contaminated by particle radiation. If this situation is confirmed, I’m sorry, ma’am, but according to interstellar regulations, I must report you to the Federal Bureau.”

“Is that so?”

“Could the test be wrong? On the day I differentiated, there was a classmate who wasn’t affected by me. She even helped me inject a suppressant.”

The young doctor clearly fell silent for a moment. Then he said, “Then call over the classmate who is immune to your pheromones and have her do an examination with you.”

At this point, Wen Jin reached up and rubbed her aching forehead.

As expected, with a sharp swish, the curtain was pulled open.

Ruan Tingzhi sat curled on the snow-white hospital bed. Her fingers were curled tightly. Although not much unease could be seen on her face, her fingers were gripping the bedsheet hard.

No matter who encountered a crisis like possibly being deported to a wasteland planet, no one could show a calmer expression than Ruan Tingzhi.

The hospital bed faced the window, and the wind lifted her black hair.

Ruan Tingzhi turned her face sideways. After hesitating for a moment, she finally cast a pleading look toward Wen Jin.

“I’m the classmate she’s talking about.” Wen Jin lifted her eyelids and met the damp eyes of the patient next door. Left with no choice, she spoke.

Ruan Tingzhi’s expression was clearly somewhat surprised. Her doe eyes widened slightly. Sitting on her delicate nose bridge was the same pair of thin gold-rimmed round glasses from yesterday, the glasses chain lengthening the lines of her face. Because her legs were curled on the bed, her goose-yellow long dress spread out like a fan. The color was elegant and soft, revealing just the right amount of fair skin and setting off a fragile, girlish, pure-yet-sensual charm.

Ruan Tingzhi was the kind of female Omega who made people unable to resist looking a second time after the first glance. Especially since her pheromones might also have a soothing effect on Wen Jin’s mental strength.

Thinking of Ruan Tingzhi’s baseless accusation against her yesterday, Wen Jin was afraid she would overinterpret her actions.

So after saying that sentence, she added, “Doctor, on the day Ruan Tingzhi differentiated, I smelled the pheromones she released at close range. But to be honest, those pheromones had absolutely no sexual attraction to me.”

The doctor froze. “…”

He thought, Is this child being polite? Isn’t that the same as saying someone is ugly?

Chief Ji also froze and secretly glanced at the family head.

Ruan Tingzhi gritted her teeth and gave an emotionless sweet smile. “That is indeed the case.”

Originally, she had thought Wen Jin would finally lower her head because of her mental illness and cooperate with her in a mutually beneficial, win-win arrangement.

Ruan Tingzhi had already thought of the conditions for their exchange. In the end, she had underestimated this person. Wen Jin seemed completely indifferent to staying alive.

In truth, Wen Jin had never even considered asking Ruan Tingzhi for help.

As a big shot from the Quick Transmigration Bureau, Wen Jin had an entire encyclopedia of planes in her head.

The world she had transmigrated through before this one had been a xianxia plane, and her profession had been an alchemist.

Developing a bottle of medicine for herself was not difficult. There was no need for her to deal with trouble.

However, standing by and refusing to save someone did not seem acceptable either.

Because Wen Jin could not completely wash her hands of this frustrating situation Ruan Tingzhi had encountered. Under the normal plot, Ruan Tingzhi’s pheromone secret would only be exposed half a year later.

She had been forced to leak her pheromones because she brought Wen Jin to the hospital, which then led to today’s crisis.

There was also a malicious reporter outside the door, recording this “big news.”

Wen Jin could not possibly leave her alone.

Wen Jin glanced at the doctor beside her and spoke. In her lazy voice, she truthfully described what had happened when Ruan Tingzhi differentiated that day.

Finally, she concluded, “My classmate’s pheromones actually smell pretty good. They just can’t seduce people.”

Fortunately, the young doctor still had professional ethics. After carefully asking about Ruan Tingzhi’s pheromone scent and differentiation state, he confirmed that Wen Jin had not lied to shield her.

At just the right time, Chief Ji’s assistant opened the door and entered. He took out Ruan Tingzhi’s freshly released test report. The young doctor glanced at it.

Looking embarrassed, he apologized to Ruan Tingzhi.

He no longer mentioned reporting her to the Federal Bureau. Instead, he turned to Chief Ji for instructions and classified Ruan Tingzhi’s situation under the category of ultra-concentrated pheromones. In the end, he issued a diagnosis stating that she was an Omega with ultra-concentrated pheromones and an unusually high pheromone concentration.

Wen Jin turned her head. She did not know how long Ruan Tingzhi had been looking at her.

Their eyes met. The other party’s brows and eyes curved, her lips parting slightly as she said, “How do you know my scent can’t seduce people? Have you tasted it?”

Wen Jin lifted her chin slightly. For the first time, she encountered a question she could not answer.

“…”

What did “tasted” mean?

Because the two of them were in the same ward, both Wen Jin and Ruan Tingzhi’s doctors had more or less heard about each other’s situations.

Next came the treatment plans.

Chief Ji pulled the young doctor aside and lowered his head to whisper a few things.

The young doctor looked at each of them. “You two are classmates?”

Wen Jin neither confirmed nor denied it. Ruan Tingzhi nodded. “Roommates.”

“That makes things easy.” A trace of a smile appeared on the young doctor’s face. “Chief Ji and I discussed it. You may need to help each other.”

Wen Jin: “…”

“How?”

“Your classmate is an Omega with ultra-concentrated pheromones. Ordinary Alphas and Betas find it very difficult to resist the temptation. At present, only you are unaffected. So when her pheromones leak, we hope you can help her as quickly as possible by injecting her with suppressants or putting blocking patches on her.”

“Of course, there is another treatment plan.” The young doctor’s tone paused. “Withdraw from school immediately, avoid crowds, and wait until she finds an Alpha compatible with her pheromones. After being marked, she can then return to society.”

The female lead O could not possibly withdraw from school. Otherwise, this world would sooner or later collapse.

Under normal circumstances, every plane had a protagonist with destiny’s favor who supported the operation of the small world.

In this ABO novel, Ruan Tingzhi completed the plot of counter-killing the scummy A. In truth, later on, she followed the script of a no-CP big heroine.

She was the undisputed daughter of destiny in this plane. If her upgrade plot was obstructed, this stable plane would quickly collapse due to all kinds of accidents.

As a big shot from the Quick Transmigration Bureau, Wen Jin understood the rules by which each small world operated very well.

With a headache, she turned her gaze toward Ruan Tingzhi. “Do you have any other way to control your pheromones?”

Ruan Tingzhi shook her head. In truth, she really had no other way, unless her cultivation recovered to the peak state before her rebirth within one month.

But she understood. Wen Jin was very resistant and did not want to help her.

Not far away, Chief Ji secretly signaled Ruan Tingzhi to soften her attitude.

The Ruan family head glanced at him and said nothing.

Only after quite a while did she suppress the humiliation of possibly being rejected after asking for help and say, “No. But if you have concerns, I can face it myself.”

Chief Ji nearly wanted to slap his thigh until it broke. In his heart, he wondered, What is going on with the family head?

Although Wen Jin’s serum had no research value, her mental strength was so strong that the instruments could not detect it.

This meant Ruan Tingzhi’s pheromones could be covered by Wen Jin’s mental strength. As long as Wen Jin herself agreed, she could use basic ancient martial arts mental cultivation methods and release true qi externally to help conceal the scent leaking from Ruan Tingzhi during her heat.

The results had come out an hour ago, and Chief Ji had clearly informed the family head immediately. Yet at this step, Ruan Tingzhi, who had always been able to bend and stretch, actually…

Wen Jin looked over. The girl’s lips were pale, and the rose-petal-shaped gland on her slender, beautiful neck faced Wen Jin. There was a fragile yet stubborn quality to her, like something from a film. Wen Jin sighed. Her conscience would not let her ignore it.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. Why do you think I asked so many questions?”

Wen Jin looked at her.

Family Head Ruan, whose acting skills had always been very good, froze for a moment. After realizing what Wen Jin meant, she said shortly and hoarsely, “Thank you.”

Because of her pheromones, everyone loved her.

Ruan Tingzhi could easily obtain other people’s affection. But at the same time, she was also annoyed when people were inexplicably kind to her, or when they stared into her eyes and flirted.

But Wen Jin’s clear, cool gaze passed through the thin, pale-blue window gauze and reached her. It had nothing to do with pheromone attraction. For a moment, Ruan Tingzhi’s heart beat for no reason.

How could someone not care about anything at all?

Ruan Tingzhi licked her dry lips.

On the other side, after the young doctor asked for Ruan Tingzhi’s opinion, Chief Ji also gave Ruan Tingzhi a few reminders.

“When there are many people around, your classmate’s mental strength becomes agitated. Your pheromones have a soothing effect on her. They can help relieve her anxiety and prevent her from falling into a state of excessive sleepiness.”

Wen Jin saw Ruan Tingzhi nod meaningfully and ask, “What exactly can I do for her?”

Chief Ji said, “For example, holding hands with her, hugging her—intimate behavior between close female friends can all soothe her mental strength.”
