The Live-in Alpha Only Wants to Be a Quiet Salted Fish - Chapter 16

The delicate Omega was once again mercilessly abandoned by the insensitive Alpha.

Su Mo was awake, very awake.

She had never imagined that extreme emotions could actually counteract the heat brought on by physiological reactions.

Even though her nape was still throbbing wildly, and her body was still weak, she was incredibly clear-headed at this moment. Anger swept away all the romantic notions and erotic waste from the heat, leaving only one thought in her mind:

Beat this silly Alpha to death!

“Silly Alpha, go to hell!”

The enraged Omega, summoning strength from who-knows-where, suddenly scrambled up and swung her tiny fists, charging at the Alpha.

Because things happened too fast and too close, Lin Mu couldn’t react at all. She was grabbed, punched, and kicked by Su Mo, taking several hard blows.

“Let’s talk this out! Omegas use their words, not their hands!”

Dodging and scuttling, her peripheral vision caught the group of maids subtly tidying up. Lin Mu’s eyes lit up.

“Aunt Liang, help!”

Aunt Liang, positioned at the center of the maids, kept her eyes down, minding her own business. She understood, she understood! It was just playful banter!

“Oh dear, I just remembered dinner isn’t made yet! Xiao Jia, you haven’t put away the clothes, have you? Xiao Ding, have you swept the dining room yet…?”

Aunt Liang called out to the maids, not even sparing Lin Mu another glance, and in a flash, they all scattered clean away.

Lin Mu: ???

So, love disappears, right?

The indignant Alpha, now without support, could only bear it all herself. She was just about to fight back.

The next second, the clawing and flailing Omega collapsed softly to the ground, falling into her arms.

Holding the soft, fragrant body, Lin Mu’s mental alarm bells went off.

“What are you doing? Are you playing dead??”

No sooner had she complained than Su Mo’s soft little fists pounded her chest again.

Pfft~! Pervert!

“You silly Alpha, hurry and help me back to my room!” Su Mo gritted her teeth, wishing she could beat her up again. Unfortunately, that previous outburst had drained her stamina; she truly had no strength left.

Lin Mu examined her. Her face was flushed with an unnatural color. She reached out and felt her forehead, which was burning hot.

She was fine just a moment ago, how did she ‘fall ill’ in the blink of an eye?

Lin Mu was baffled, quickly carrying her into the house.

Back home, she still wanted to find the maids to check on her, but the maids who had just claimed to be busy with this and that were now nowhere to be seen.

With no other option, Lin Mu could only dutifully carry Su Mo upstairs.

Su Mo’s room, including the maids’ rooms, were all on the second floor. Only Lin Mu lived alone in the guest room on the first floor, so she had never been upstairs until now.

“First room on the left!”

The silly Alpha peeked around, leisurely as if she were shopping, making Su Mo pinch her again in anger.

“Just talk, don’t use your hands! If it weren’t for you being sick, I would’ve fought back, I tell you!” Lin Mu huffed. Her temper wasn’t good today; she was quite irritable!

Su Mo’s silver teeth were almost ground to dust. This idiot even dares to threaten her! All this because of whom?! Does this person have any common sense?!

Su Mo’s room was very large, many times bigger than hers. Upon entering, there was a walk-in closet filled with countless clothes and various bags. Some bags looked almost identical, just in different colors. She didn’t understand why she would spend so much money unnecessarily.

Reaching the bedside, Lin Mu casually tossed Su Mo onto the bed. It was another freefall, and Su Mo was already mentally exhausted.

Lin Mu turned, intending to leave, but Su Mo called her back.

“Wait, where are you going? Get me the bottle on the table!”

This silly Alpha, reeking of pheromones, still wants to waltz out? Does she think the scent in the house isn’t strong enough?!

Lin Mu rolled her eyes. She’s definitely a spoiled young lady, always ordering people around.

The item wasn’t hard to find. She spotted it immediately in the direction Su Mo pointed. But its appearance…

A plain white bottle, about the same height as a regular cosmetic bottle, with only a few English letters that she couldn’t understand. It was a spray bottle, and when she picked it up, there was a little bead “clicking” inside.

It looked very similar to something Lin Mu had seen at her roommate’s place before.

Without thinking, she blurted out:

“Do you have body odor??”

Body odor, body…

These words looped in Su Mo’s mind.

She was beyond anger. Perhaps the end of fury was a deep, calm pool.

“Just bring it over, and I’ll tell you…” Su Mo smiled brightly, no ripple on her face.

She felt she had entered a new realm, no longer to be agitated or angered by the trivialities of the mundane world.

She had achieved enlightenment!

Lin Mu gave her a strange look. She just felt that smile was… creepy.

The small bottle was handed to Su Mo. Almost the second she received it.

“Hiss…”

A cloud of white mist spewed out, hitting Lin Mu squarely in the face.

“Body odor?”

Su Mo’s smile didn’t falter. Holding the inhibitors spray in her hand, as if it were some anti-wolf weapon, she sprayed Lin Mu’s face again and again.

“Say it again, come on. What do I have?”

“Ptooey, ptooey…” Lin Mu waved her hand, dispersing the incoming white mist.

The inhibitors didn’t hurt her eyes, but it tasted bitter when it got into her mouth, and the air was filled with the scent of lemon.

“What are you doing? What is this stuff? Air freshener?”

“Air freshener?” Su Mo was truly speechless. How did this person even survive until now?

“Were your biology classes taught by your gym teacher?! This is a inhibitors! Don’t you know you’re in your susceptible period?! Don’t you know you’re completely covered in pheromones right now?! Don’t you know how dangerous an Alpha’s pheromones are to an Omega?!”

Three rapid-fire questions finally jolted Lin Mu awake!

So, this inexplicable irritability was because of the susceptible period?!

She felt wronged! The original body’s physiological knowledge was like watching a movie to her. Could you expect a man to empathize with a woman’s monthly “visitor”?

No! She knew about it, but didn’t know the precursors or the feeling when it arrived. How could she possibly react in time?

“Um… I’m sorry…” Lin Mu lowered her head, timidly admitting her mistake, uncharacteristically docile.

Su Mo’s face wasn’t good. Although the inhibitors covered the Alpha’s pheromones, the aroused estrus wasn’t so easily dispelled.

“This is inhibitors spray. Spray it on every day before you go out. And this is a inhibitors patch. Stick it on your scent gland. Take it off when your susceptible period is over.”

She tossed all the items into Lin Mu’s hands, even having to act as a physiology teacher, showing her how to use them step by step. After teaching, Su Mo lost her patience.

“Now, take these things and get out!”

It was rare for her to use such strong words, showing how truly angered she was this time.

Lin Mu, clutching the items, prepared to slink away. Just before leaving, she remembered something and timidly spoke.

“Um… can’t I take it off to shower?”

“Get out!”

A pillow flew from the bed, but unfortunately lost momentum and fell halfway. Lin Mu’s grip on the items tightened. She dared not ask further and quickly left.

As the door closed, Su Mo collapsed onto the bed, covering her burning forehead.

Damn silly Alpha!

At this moment, her heart was filled with both anger and a hint of… fear!

She was scared!

A silly Alpha with zero physiological common sense was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode beside her at any moment. Luckily, she had managed to clear her head today, but what if she couldn’t clear her head next time?

She bit her lip, a complex flicker in her eyes. She pulled out her phone and called her private doctor. After describing what happened today, she asked another question.

“In your opinion, what kind of Alpha would have no physiological common sense at all, not even realizing when their susceptible period has started?”
