The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 27
Bai Yue froze like a fossil. She muttered softly: “No, I didn’t forget.” In reality, she had completely forgotten, but one thing she absolutely remembered was: “Wait, you promised me that if my check-up was fine and the doctor said okay, I could have barbecue and Big Plate Chicken!”
Chen Mengyi had indeed said that. The smile on her face didn’t falter: “I did promise.”
Just as Bai Yue was getting excited, Chen Mengyi changed the subject: “But Yueyue, you knew you had a check-up in two days, yet you ate so much watermelon today. Your stomach must be full of watermelon water right now, and you’re too full for dinner. Can you really pass your physical exam?”
Bai Yue’s face fell: “Ugh, I’m sorry. I just got excited and ate too much.”
Chen Mengyi stood up and carried Bai Yue onto the wheelchair: “I didn’t say you couldn’t eat it, but everything in moderation. Too much watermelon is bad for your health. Even if you can’t eat now, you have to eat a few bites of rice. Otherwise, all the water content from the watermelon will be gone after you use the restroom, and you’ll still be hungry tonight.”
Chen Mengyi’s gentleness made Bai Yue feel even more embarrassed. She could only listen to her and obediently go to the dining room to eat a few bites with Chen Mengyi. In reality, Chen Mengyi was thinking: You ate enough watermelon to be full and think you don’t have to eat dinner with me? Dream on.
In the time the news about the trashy Alpha male celebrity was circulating, two days quickly passed, and it was time for Bai Yue’s quarterly regular check-up.
They were going to the hospital where the Bai family held shares for a comprehensive examination, especially concerning her pheromones. To be honest, Chen Mengyi didn’t think Bai Yue would pass this check-up. Beyond anything else, the recent pheromone surge incident could easily cause problems with Bai Yue’s pheromones.
She already had pheromone disorder, so even to be safe, the doctor wouldn’t allow her to eat just anything.
Bai Yue’s plan for barbecue and Big Plate Chicken was bankrupt before it even started.
However, Chen Mengyi also wanted to have a barbecue with Bai Yue. She could grill the meat for Bai Yue, wrap it in lettuce with dipping sauce, and then personally feed it into the eagerly waiting Bai Yue’s mouth. Unfortunately, this plan was ruined.
The quarterly check-up was a very important event for the Bai family. The servants began preparing early in the morning. Because the examination involved blood draws and other tests, Bai Yue couldn’t eat anything in the morning. Chen Mengyi also skipped breakfast to accompany Bai Yue. So, the servants had to pack breakfast in insulated boxes so they could eat immediately after the check-up.
In addition, clean clothes, Bai Yue’s blanket, and other small items also needed to be prepared.
Chen Mengyi also paid extra attention, checking Bai Yue’s various documents several times. She was already a very meticulous person, but checking repeatedly showed how much importance Chen Mengyi placed on Bai Yue. Only after confirming everything was in order did Chen Mengyi take Bai Yue and get into the car.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital. Chen Mengyi wheeled Bai Yue around for various tests. Because of Bai Yue’s leg issues, X-rays and MRIs were required every time. These procedures involved radiation, which certainly affected the body. The hospital always provided radiation protection gear, but Chen Mengyi was still cautious.
After a series of tests, Bai Yue was completely drained. They were currently in the hospital’s VIP lounge. Bai Yue sat in her wheelchair, watching Chen Mengyi take out the breakfast the maid had prepared earlier. Considering Bai Yue’s appetite wouldn’t be great after the tests, the home chef had prepared clear porridge and light side dishes, which looked particularly appetizing.
But Bai Yue ate this kind of food every day. Seeing it, she not only didn’t want to eat but also tilted her head and threw a small tantrum: “I don’t want it. I want dried radish strips.”
Her request was simple. Chen Mengyi felt bad for her and put down her bowl and chopsticks, looking at Mama Li next to her. Mama Li understood the message and immediately left. Before long, Mama Li returned with a portion of dried radish strips from the hospital cafeteria. Bai Yue finally showed some interest and leaned over to start eating her breakfast.
The moment the dried radish strips entered her mouth, Bai Yue realized she had been tricked.
The dried radish strips she imagined: Crisp, refreshing, slightly spicy, and very appetizing.
The actual dried radish strips: Tough, dry, and only tasted of salt, nothing else.
Because the dried radish strips were so strange, Bai Yue immediately looked at Mama Li. Mama Li returned her gaze with a smile: “Miss, they are special dried radish strips from the hospital. Patients have dietary restrictions; they can’t have much salt, let alone chili oil.”
“You knew all along, didn’t you!”
Mama Li shook her head: “How would I know?”
“…” If you would just wipe that smile off your face when you say that, I might believe you!
Bai Yue finished her breakfast and rested in the room for a while. When the time was right, Chen Mengyi left the room first to retrieve the reports. But today, she had an extra task: being led by the nurse to the Pheromone Testing Station.
Bai Yue had to have her pheromones checked every time. Since she had pheromone disorder, frequent checks were necessary for treatment. Chen Mengyi rarely came here. The suppressants she used were of high quality, and she managed herself strictly, so her pheromones were very stable.
However, Chen Mengyi needed to be tested today.
Chen Mengyi sat down on the chair at the Pheromone Testing Station. The Omega nurse asked Chen Mengyi to lift her hair. Chen Mengyi gripped and twisted her hair, letting it fall forward, and slightly lowered her head to expose the scent gland at the back of her neck. Exposing the gland in front of others was not comfortable. Chen Mengyi had to hold the armrest to keep herself from avoiding the Omega nurse’s gaze.
This was instinct; she couldn’t help it.
As the nurse approached with a needle, Chen Mengyi involuntarily swallowed.
The sharp needle pierced the skin. The feeling of the gland being pricked was particularly unpleasant. Chen Mengyi closed her eyes, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, enduring the pain. She could feel the pheromones inside her gland being extracted by the syringe. It felt like the process lasted a long time, but it was only a moment.
A moment later, the nurse left and placed a small band-aid on Chen Mengyi. Chen Mengyi sighed in relief and let down her hair.
When she stepped out of the room, a hospital staff member approached Chen Mengyi and said: “Miss Chen, we will complete your pheromone matching test as quickly as possible. The results should be available in about two hours. We will send the report to your phone once it’s done.”
Chen Mengyi nodded: “Also, please check if there are any issues with my pheromones. I took a suppressant a few days ago.”
The staff member paused, then replied: “Don’t worry, Miss Chen, we certainly won’t miss a detail like that. And even taking a suppressant won’t affect the pheromone matching test.”
Talking to clever people certainly saved effort. Chen Mengyi nodded, then went to retrieve Bai Yue’s report and chatted with her primary doctor for a while. The doctor’s report was very similar to the family doctor’s. Although Bai Yue’s pheromones were currently stable, she had to be extremely careful not to be affected by others’ pheromones again.
And she needed to maintain a light diet for now, among other minor details.
Chen Mengyi nodded. The doctor timely reminded Chen Mengyi: “Miss Chen, your heat cycle is approaching. You need to be extra cautious during this time, so you don’t affect Miss Bai.”
Chen Mengyi nodded. How could she not know the timing of her own heat cycle? But she also knew the doctor was only reminding her. After all, Bai Yue couldn’t handle the temptation of Omega heat cycle pheromones right now. She put the test report into her bag and left the doctor’s office, returning to the lounge.
When Bai Yue saw Chen Mengyi return, she immediately looked up eagerly at Chen Mengyi, her eyes full of excitement: “Mengyi, what’s the verdict?” She was dying to eat barbecue and Big Plate Chicken. This physical check-up report concerned her ability to eat those delicious foods!
Seeing her like that, Chen Mengyi could only shake her head regretfully: “Yueyue, it’s not that I don’t want you to eat it. The doctor explicitly said no.”
Bai Yue’s face instantly dropped. She pouted, and her small expression made Chen Mengyi want to laugh. She wanted to comfort Bai Yue, thinking that if she recovered well in a while, barbecue might still be forbidden, but Big Plate Chicken could still be an option.
Before Chen Mengyi could say her “compromise,” Bai Yue sighed: “Well, there’s nothing I can do. It’s my bad luck.”
She once again blamed the trashy Alpha. She muttered: “It’s all his fault. If he hadn’t released pheromones everywhere, I wouldn’t be this unlucky!”
Chen Mengyi smiled faintly, reaching out to rub Bai Yue’s head, messing up her slightly fluffy hair. She didn’t voice her compromise. She wondered how upset Bai Yue would be if she knew that Chen Mengyi had intended to give in but canceled the plan when Bai Yue suddenly accepted the situation.
Since they had the test report, there was no need to stay at the hospital. Chen Mengyi pushed Bai Yue out. When Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue into the car in the parking lot, Bai Yue spotted a band-aid on the back of Chen Mengyi’s neck.
After getting into the car, Bai Yue asked about it: “Mengyi, what happened to the back of your neck? I saw a band-aid.”
Chen Mengyi reached back and touched the band-aid on the back of her neck, explaining softly: “I went for a pheromone test. I took a suppressant when you were affected, right? To be safe, I thought a pheromone test would be better.”
“Oh, right.” Bai Yue only realized this now and continued to condemn the trashy Alpha. After cursing him for a while, Bai Yue remembered something else: “Will that affect your heat cycle? It’s supposed to be these few days, isn’t it? Will the suppressant cause it to come early?”
Chen Mengyi was a rare sight of shyness. A faint blush appeared on her face. Chen Mengyi glanced at Bai Yue. Her innocent expression clearly showed she wasn’t overthinking it. Chen Mengyi sighed, and said faintly: “I’ll be careful.”
