The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 22.2
As long as it’s not me learning.
While chatting, she finished attaching all the electrodes.
The instrument turned on, and data began to change.
All the values were similar to previous monitoring data. Even if there were differences, they fluctuated within a reasonable range.
Ji Ling stared at the screen for a while, and her initial hope slowly diminished.
The data wouldn’t lie; there were indeed no significant changes.
Chi Wanzhu naturally saw it too.
She had memorized every value and range, including the acceptable fluctuations, from countless previous examinations.
Her mood remained largely unaffected. She had even started mentally reviewing the proposal needed for the afternoon.
After a few minutes of data fluctuation, the curves finally stabilized in a fixed position.
She reached for the thin blanket behind her, preparing to remove the electrodes on her calf.
Just as her fingertips touched them, she suddenly heard Ji Ling’s voice.
“It moved!”
Ji Ling stared at the instrument screen, watching one data point slowly begin to climb from its original position.
The pheromone-induced nerve for walking, located in the legs, was crucial for human locomotion.
Chi Wanzhu’s fingertips froze. She looked up at the numerical value.
It slowly increased, then stopped.
It hadn’t reached the normal human level, but compared to before, it was a significant change.
The examination room was silent, with only the sound of breathing.
After a few minutes, Ji Ling was the first to speak: “I want to call Jing Chaocao in and have her try again with pheromone induction.”
The current data change might be influenced by the Alpha pheromones already in Chi Wanzhu’s body.
What if they had the Alpha release more pheromones, increasing the concentration?
Would the data continue to change?
Chi Wanzhu’s frozen fingertips twitched, feeling a slight tingling sensation.
Since she needed the Alpha’s help, she couldn’t hide the matter of her legs.
After a moment of silence, she said, “You can.”
Jing Chaocao returned to the lounge area and opened her chat window with Song Li.
【Jing Chaocao: Are you there?】
【Jing Chaocao: Do we have many exams for all our modern medicine courses this semester?】
Her modern medicine courses this semester included core requirements like Pathophysiology, Immunology, and Microbiology.
Just judging by the names, they all sounded related to the scent gland.
She suddenly felt the difficulty level increase again.
Song Li replied quickly.
【Song Li: !!!】
【Song Li: I think I just remembered that I heard an upperclassman say the Pathophysiology teacher will have in-class quizzes!】
【Song Li: The other courses should only have final exams.】
If she hadn’t seen Jing Chaocao’s message, she might not have recalled it either.
Based on previous years’ experience, this teacher’s announcements were always sudden.
The goal was to encourage them to study regularly, not just cram for the finals.
【Jing Chaocao: …Open book or closed book?】
【Song Li: ???】
Seeing the question marks from the other side, Jing Chaocao felt a glimmer of hope.
If it were open book, the problem wouldn’t be too big.
However, the very next second, her hope was brutally crushed.
【Song Li: If it’s open book, who would treat that as an exam? Wouldn’t that just be a calligraphy competition?】
That makes perfect sense. No way to argue.
A person truly should not harbor illusions.
Song Li was in the dorm, so she knew Jing Chaocao was out.
【Song Li: But why are you suddenly thinking about exams? Shouldn’t you be with your girlfriend now?】
【Jing Chaocao: I just feel the professional courses are a bit difficult and plan to start studying early.】
She phrased this diplomatically.
It wasn’t studying; it was the Pangu-opening-heaven-and-earth level of pre-studying.
【Song Li: Thumbs up.jpg】
【Song Li: People with girlfriends are really different.】
Because of her previous instances of skipping class, she was worried that the other person would fall into a slump after starting a relationship.
It seemed she wouldn’t at all!
But she remembered Jing Chaocao was worried about the pheromone marking a few days ago, so she sent another message.
【Song Li: How is that Alpha friend of yours now? Can she mark her Omega?】
Seeing this message, Jing Chaocao was reminded of the awkward moment when Chi Wanzhu caught her.
She absolutely wouldn’t tell her embarrassing story a third time!
【Jing Chaocao: Yes! She is very capable!】
【Jing Chaocao: It was all a misunderstanding before!】
Song Li was puzzled by the excited tone from the other side.
【Song Li: I knew it! How could you possibly be unable to mark an Omega!】
A moment later.
[System Notice: The other party recalled a message.]
【Song Li: I knew it! How could your friend possibly be unable to mark an Omega!】
【Jing Chaocao: …?】
Don’t think I didn’t see that.
As she finished checking the exam information, she looked up and saw Ji Ling walking towards her.
Her steps were a little hurried.
Jing Chaocao put her phone away, looked at her, and asked, “Is something wrong?”
Ji Ling explained the main point succinctly.
“Wanzhu’s leg issue is related to her Pheromone Disorder. Just now, our monitoring data showed that your pheromones are beneficial to her leg.”
“So, we need you to come over and release some pheromones. Is that okay?”
The original book’s plot regarding Chi Wanzhu was very brief, mostly automatically filled in by the world’s logic.
So Jing Chaocao didn’t know whether the other person’s leg issue was congenital or caused by an accident.
She also hadn’t expected it could be treated with pheromones.
She immediately nodded: “Yes, I can.”
Regardless, Chi Wanzhu had been very good to her since she arrived in this world.
If she could help treat her legs, she certainly wouldn’t refuse.
In the time she had known the other person, she deliberately hadn’t asked about her legs, choosing to help through her actions instead.
But whether it was the way the other person tensed her arm and pressed hard enough to leave deep red marks on her slender palm every time she shifted position,
Or the thin blanket that always covered her legs, and the weight that was much lighter than that of a healthy person.
It was easy to imagine how much a leg condition affected daily life.
Upon entering the examination room, Jing Chaocao saw Chi Wanzhu.
The other person was still sitting in the wheelchair, her long pants rolled up to her knees.
Due to not being able to walk for years, her muscles had slowly atrophied.
Coupled with the lack of sun exposure, her legs were slimmer and paler than most people’s.
They were covered in various metal-like electrodes, extending from her ankles to her knees.
Next to her was the instrument screen, where dense red and green lines were flickering.
She walked to Chi Wanzhu’s side, feeling a mix of emotions, and could only look at the person in front of her and say, “President Chi.”
When she spoke, her tone was a few degrees lower than usual.
Like a light feather gently tickling one’s heart.
Chi Wanzhu looked at the Alpha in front of her: “Mhm, thank you for your trouble.”
Jing Chaocao finally smiled: “It’s no trouble. I just hope it helps.”
She looked at Ji Ling next to her and asked, “What should I do?”
Ji Ling raised an eyebrow, “Only think of me now?”
She didn’t know why, but despite their contractual relationship, she felt like she was being force-fed dog food (slang for public displays of affection).
But it was just a complaint, and the speed at which she adjusted the instrument didn’t slow down.
“There’s a chair nearby. Sit next to Wanzhu.”
“Remove your inhibitor patch, and then slowly release your pheromones. Take it easy.”
Jing Chaocao followed the instructions one by one.
The fir pheromones slowly diffused into the space.
They seemed to coalesce into countless invisible fine threads, slowly wrapping around Chi Wanzhu’s slender ankles.
They wound past the cold metal electrodes, touched the warm skin, and tried to seek out the concealed Cognac Brandy.
They even remembered to branch off a wisp, wrapping around Chi Wanzhu’s scent gland, soothing the Omega pheromones currently being induced by the fir scent.
Jing Chaocao and Ji Ling’s eyes were fixed on the changing data on the instrument.
Although Jing Chaocao couldn’t understand it, she could only see countless colorful lines dancing before her.
But she knew: sincerity is the key.
Ji Ling was responsible for the science, and she was responsible for the faith. Surely one of them would work.
The only person who was the subject of the experiment, Chi Wanzhu, merely glanced at the screen, then let her gaze settle on the person beside her.
Jing Chaocao was very close to her. From the side, she could clearly see the other person’s clear eyes.
She was slightly looking up, her expression serious, the line of her neck slightly strained. It was clear the other person was intentionally suppressing her breathing rate.
It was a sign of tension and focus.
“The glandular pheromone-induced nerve is continuing to rise. The glandular sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are also changing…”
Within a few minutes, the data constantly shifted, finally stabilizing in a relatively steady range.
“A total of eight data points have changed. Although they haven’t returned to the normal range, they are approaching it.”
The illness had persisted for too long, almost becoming a part of Chi Wanzhu’s body.
Therefore, even with the data increasing, it couldn’t immediately return to the normal range.
Completely eradicating all the lesions would undoubtedly take considerable effort; they couldn’t rush the process.
Various professional terms poured from Ji Ling’s mouth, sounding like an incomprehensible scroll.
However, Jing Chaocao could tell from the other person’s slightly excited tone that these were good signs.
She asked the other person, “Is there a possibility of recovery, then?”
Ji Ling nodded and smiled: “A very strong possibility.”
Even she felt a little excited now, the whole experience like a rollercoaster.
From the initial worry to the excitement upon seeing the data changes, and now, finally seeing the hope of a cure.
Hearing this, Jing Chaocao suddenly turned her head to look at Chi Wanzhu, unexpectedly meeting the other person’s gaze.
She couldn’t hide her internal excitement. The fir-scented pheromones were more active than before. “Did you hear that? It’s a very strong possibility!”
Chi Wanzhu looked at her, the usual coolness in her demeanor greatly reduced, and said, “Mhm, I heard it.”
Jing Chaocao’s smile widened.
She was about to say something else when she felt her palm gripping something.
Looking down, her hand was clasping Chi Wanzhu’s hand.
To say “clasping” was perhaps not entirely accurate; “clutching” would be closer.
Perhaps because she was too excited just now, she instinctively grabbed something in her hand.
Thus, Chi Wanzhu, who was next to her, became the “victim.”
Jing Chaocao: “…”
Before she could release her hand, Chi Wanzhu also lowered her head and saw their joined hands.
Chi Wanzhu’s body temperature was consistently low, and her hands were cool.
Now, being held by the Alpha, it felt like a warm hand warmer was covering hers.
Before she could speak, she saw the Alpha quickly withdraw her hand, the warmth instantly fading.
Jing Chaocao hid her hand behind her back, still feeling that smooth coolness, like stroking fine silk.
She mumbled, “…I was too excited just now. It wasn’t intentional.”
She didn’t even know when she reached out her “devil’s claw,” oh my god!
But explaining it somehow made it even more awkward.
From the start of today until now, she didn’t know if the wheels of destiny had turned, but the links of her life had almost all fallen off.
Chi Wanzhu lowered her gaze and said, “It’s alright.”
She thought she could remain calm about matters concerning her legs.
Now it seemed that no matter how much time passed, there would still be ripples.
Even she hadn’t noticed being held.
After leaving the hospital, Ji Ling’s medical advice was still floating in Jing Chaocao’s mind.
“My suggestion is to try to have more contact with the Alpha or items carrying Alpha pheromones; the actual effect is obvious.”
“Also, you can regularly massage your legs for relaxation. That will also help.”
“There are no other issues. Remember to come back for a check-up once a month.”
Although the advice was directed at Chi Wanzhu, it wasn’t kept from her.
“More contact with Alpha pheromones” undoubtedly referred to her pheromones.
As for the massage, that was easy. It even aligned with her major.
In summary, was she the Heavenly Appointed Person for treating Chi Wanzhu’s legs?
Of course, given their current relationship.
Jing Chaocao felt she was more aptly described as the Heavenly Appointed Worker.
The driver hadn’t returned yet. She turned around, wanting to say something to Chi Wanzhu, “I…”
But Chi Wanzhu also spoke at the same time, their voices colliding, “You…”
Jing Chaocao smiled: “President Chi, you first.”
However, she felt the words they both wanted to say were probably similar.
Chi Wanzhu nodded and said, “What follows is a personal request, not part of the agreement. You are free to refuse at any time.”
“I will select an apartment near Z University. The ownership will be in your name.”
“However, I hope we can live together for the foreseeable future.”
“Apart from this, I will not interfere with your normal life.”
She naturally understood Ji Ling’s words.
To have more contact with Alpha pheromones, relying solely on marking was clearly insufficient. She needed to be in a place with the Alpha’s living traces.
Since Jing Chaocao was still in school, the most convenient arrangement was to find an apartment near Z University, which would also be convenient for temporary marking.
“You can take your time…”
She intended to say, You can take your time to consider. You don’t have to reply right now.
But before she could finish the rest of her words, they were interrupted by Jing Chaocao’s emphatic response.
“I am willing!”
The returning driver happened to overhear Jing Chaocao’s loud “I am willing!”
So… President Chi is proposing now?!
She seemed to have arrived at precisely the wrong moment.
Thus, Chi Wanzhu and Jing Chaocao watched the driver vanish in a few seconds.
The speed was so fast that Jing Chaocao was dumbfounded, “She could totally run in a race…”
She could probably win a medal too.
Chi Wanzhu, beside her, said, “She is indeed a retired athlete.”
She asked curiously, “What kind of athlete?”
“Boxing.”
A retired boxer, working as a driver, just set a new personal record for the 100-meter dash.
Jing Chaocao closed her mouth. “That’s quite a wide scope of employment.”
As expected of a major CEO, surrounded by talented people and hidden masters.
She felt a little excited and looked at Chi Wanzhu, her eyes showing a hint of envy: “Can I get her contact information?”
Chi Wanzhu raised an eyebrow slightly: “What do you want her contact information for?”
Jing Chaocao liked to plan ahead: “If someone bullies me, I can just find her a free punching bag.”
It would not only save money but also be a completely authentic, live-person simulation.
Chi Wanzhu: “…When she comes back, you can ask for it yourself.”
“Great!”
With the promise secured, Jing Chaocao remembered the explanation from earlier.
“My answer just now means I have no problem. We can proceed as you suggested, President Chi.”
Chi Wanzhu’s arrangement considered a lot for her, as Z University was not close to Star Group.
Furthermore, living together would not only help treat the other person’s legs but also make temporary marking easier.
Compared to the Cloud Top Villa, the nearby apartment was definitely more convenient.
Finally, the apartment would be registered in her name!
A win-win situation. Jing Chaocao was very satisfied.
Chi Wanzhu looked at the young Alpha in front of her: “Have you thought it through?”
“This clause is not in our agreement. You can refuse.”
She still hoped the other person would consider it carefully.
“I’ve thought it through!”
Jing Chaocao explained her reasoning again.
She concluded, “Although the answer was quick, I have thoroughly considered it.”
She was not a casual person.
“However, I might need to move next week. I need to tidy up my things at school.”
University was much freer than high school. It was fine even if she didn’t live in the dorms.
Chi Wanzhu listened to Jing Chaocao’s analysis and knew the other person wasn’t acting on impulse, so she said, “Alright. Assistant Lin will contact you this week.”
Jing Chaocao nodded and asked, “When will you move in, President Chi?”
“I’m traveling abroad for business this week, for about ten days.”
“Ten days?”
Jing Chaocao recalled that a typical temporary mark lasted for about half a month.
It had been almost a week since their last mark.
She asked, “Then do you need a temporary mark now?”
Chi Wanzhu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly: “Yes. Do you have anything else you need to do next?”
She had planned this step before coming to the hospital.
She had also reserved ample time for the temporary marking.
It was just the efficacy of the pheromones on her legs that was outside her expectation.
After several examinations, time had passed until now.
It was nearing noon. The sun was high in the sky, still strong despite the approaching autumn.
Through the car window, it condensed into a brilliant, almost blinding ball of light, falling precisely on Chi Wanzhu’s shoulder.
Although the car was an enclosed space, the windows were transparent, offering a clear view of the outside world.
Occasionally, people would walk past them.
“…I have time.” Jing Chaocao looked at the transparent windows on all four sides. “But, do we have to do it here?”
It was broad daylight. Marking was a relatively private matter, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But embarrassment aside, she felt that a thick skin could be developed.
If Chi Wanzhu truly needed it, she could overcome it!
Chi Wanzhu: “…”
“Not here. If you have time, we’ll go back to the Cloud Top Villa.”
In some ways, she and Jing Chaocao were thinking alike.
Even for a temporary mark, she wasn’t comfortable doing it outside, separated from the public only by a thin layer of glass.
Even if the car windows were one-way.
Hearing this, Jing Chaocao said, “Ah, okay.”
“Then let’s go back to the Cloud Top Villa. I also think it’s not very appropriate to do this in the car.”
Chi Wanzhu: …?
Why did her tone sound slightly regretful?
As she said this, the driver whom Chi Wanzhu had messaged to return, happened to open the driver’s seat door.
Thus, Jing Chaocao’s words were heard by her, word for word.
“Back to the villa,” “do it in the car,” “not appropriate…”
With just a few words, the driver, Li Yan, instantly jumped to certain conclusions.
Li Yan: “…”
Is this something she should be hearing?
However, it was normal for a couple to be unable to contain their excitement after a proposal.
She completely understood!
To be the CEO’s driver, a certain degree of deliberate deafness and muteness was required.
She actually didn’t hear anything just now.
And she certainly didn’t know President Chi was heading to the Cloud Top Villa.
Li Yan sat in the driver’s seat and leaned back to ask, “President Chi, where to next?”
Chi Wanzhu said, “Wait a moment.”
She glanced at the time before asking Jing Chaocao, “Are you hungry?”
Aunt Yue usually only made breakfast and dinner for her and wasn’t around at noon.
Thus, there was no need to rush back to the Cloud Top Villa.
She couldn’t let Jing Chaocao, who had been busy all morning, have to cook for herself.
Jing Chaocao honestly nodded: “I am hungry.”
Perhaps due to her Alpha physique, her appetite was indeed larger than before.
Not to mention, she had just released quite a bit of pheromones, which consumed energy.
Chi Wanzhu looked at her: “Is there a restaurant you’d like to go to or a cuisine you’d like to eat?”
Jing Chaocao: “…Sijizhai (Four Seasons Hall)?”
Forgive her; she didn’t mean to bring up Sijizhai again.
It was just that in this world, Sijizhai was the only restaurant she actually knew.
Chi Wanzhu: “…”
She shouldn’t have agreed to Assistant Lin’s ordering suggestion that day.
But she still told Li Yan, “To Sijizhai.”
“Yes, President Chi.”
Li Yan smoothly started the car and drove in a straight line, but her inner thoughts took a 180-degree turn.
As expected of their President Chi, they definitely need to eat first before going back to the Cloud Top Villa to do things!
She hadn’t been considerate enough.
Bystander A: Chi Wanzhu, do you think being rich makes you great? [Rolling eyes] [Rolling eyes]
Chaocao (clutching her bank card and nodding): It actually does, hehe. [Shy] [Shy]
