The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 28
Bai Yue genuinely wasn’t overthinking things when she asked that question; it was a very casual inquiry. In Bai Yue’s mind, Chen Mengyi and she were essentially the same gender, which is to say—both were female.
Although she knew she was an Alpha and Chen Mengyi was an Omega, she rarely had this realization in daily life.
It was only when she encountered Chen Mengyi’s pheromones or in certain special circumstances that she would suddenly realize: Chen Mengyi and she were, after all, different.
Mainly, she had been a woman for so long that her first reaction was: We are all women. Asking about the heat cycle is the same as asking about the menstrual cycle; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Incidentally, Bai Yue felt that being an Alpha was a good thing—because Alphas don’t have a menstrual cycle.
Alphas don’t need to get pregnant, so even as women, they don’t have periods. The centuries of evolution of the secondary gender made Alphas more inclined to be butch and directly eliminated the menstrual cycle. However, while they don’t have periods, they do have the concept of the Rut Period.
Alphas in a rut are highly susceptible to Omega pheromones and can easily enter a state of arousal.
Omegas, on the other hand, have the Heat Cycle, which is their arousal period.
Honestly, Bai Yue felt humans didn’t need these two special periods, because humans could theoretically be aroused 24/7, year-round. The original ABO concept was purely designed to facilitate erotic fiction.
When this concept became reality, it was the female Omegas who suffered. Having both a menstrual cycle and a heat cycle meant they were uncomfortable for nearly half the month. Bai Yue was a little curious whether male Omegas had… a menstrual cycle.
However, she didn’t have any male Omegas around, so she didn’t know. The only one she knew of was the male protagonist, Bai Shizhou, but the novel didn’t mention whether he had a menstrual cycle. But if he was capable of pregnancy, he must have a uterus, and if he had a uterus, he should have a period, right?
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be too unfair to female Omegas?
Back to the main point, Bai Yue truly didn’t think her casually asking Chen Mengyi about her heat cycle was too intimate. Although she was a lesbian, her interaction with colleagues was still in the standard female mode.
In a small group chat, people would sometimes talk about these things, like, “My period came early/late this month,” or someone would urgently contact the group from the restroom: “Help! I don’t have a pad! Someone rush one over.”
So Bai Yue always felt asking about the heat cycle was similar to asking about the period, and she didn’t realize at all that Chen Mengyi would blush when an Alpha asked her.
Two days after returning home, Chen Mengyi’s time was approaching, so she simply avoided appearing in front of Bai Yue. Bai Yue, for once, could sleep in.
But having habitually woken up at that time, and since it wasn’t a weekend, Bai Yue naturally woke up when the time came.
She yawned. She didn’t wait for Chen Mengyi to come and help her up, so she pressed the button beside the bed. Before long, Mama Li appeared by Bai Yue’s bed.
“Miss, are you getting up?”
“Ah, yes.” Mama Li picked up Bai Yue, helped the inconvenient Bai Yue change clothes, and then made the bed while Bai Yue was washing up. When Bai Yue came out after washing, she still only saw Mama Li and immediately asked: “Where is Mengyi?”
“Miss Chen said she would minimize meeting you for the next two days.”
“Oh…” Bai Yue realized. It was only at times like this that she remembered she and Chen Mengyi were different: she was an Alpha, and Chen Mengyi was an Omega.
Bai Yue drove her wheelchair to the dining room and found that Chen Mengyi hadn’t come for breakfast; she was alone at the table. She sighed, inevitably missing Chen Mengyi. Without Chen Mengyi accompanying her for breakfast, Bai Yue didn’t even find the shrimp dumplings tasty anymore and struggled to swallow her food.
Seeing Bai Yue looking so glum and losing her appetite, Mama Li, standing nearby, suddenly spoke coldly: “Miss, if you miss Miss Chen so much, why don’t you just mark her?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Bai Yue’s face flushed from Mama Li’s words, and she quickly retorted, even adopting the air of the mistress of the house to lecture Mama Li: “Mengyi is an Omega. Talking about her like that behind her back is spreading rumors about her!”
Mama Li looked at Bai Yue for a moment, then continued: “How is this spreading rumors? Miss, you and Miss Chen are engaged to be married. Moreover, after marking, Miss Chen’s heat cycle will not only be much easier, but the duration can also be reduced from a week to two days. It has many benefits for Miss Chen.”
Bai Yue was stunned: “Marking can reduce it from a week to two days?”
Mama Li was somewhat speechless at this point: “You didn’t know that?”
Bai Yue: “I didn’t know.”
“…” If she weren’t her maid, Mama Li would have been tempted to retort: I really wonder how you passed your sex ed classes.
Bai Yue’s sex ed knowledge was truly lacking. She genuinely didn’t know that the heat cycle would drastically reduce after marking. Mama Li continued to explain: “Not only will the duration be reduced, but if the Alpha and Omega are together, the Alpha’s rut period will also directly overlap and pass quickly. Furthermore, the Omega won’t feel distressed; instead, they will feel like the time passes quickly.”
Bai Yue was shocked. She even looked at Mama Li in surprise: “How do you know all this?”
Mama Li answered proudly and confidently: “Because my wife is like that! My daughter is in high school; how could I not know? I go home to accompany her every time she has her heat cycle after work. Because we are very stable, her heat cycle passes smoothly and quickly. Miss, this is common knowledge.”
Bai Yue had forgotten that Mama Li was already over forty and had a daughter in high school. Her wife was a female Omega, so she was particularly clear about these things.
“In terms of biology, the ABO structure is just like this. That’s why they say Alpha and Omega are a natural pair. Without each other, it can be very difficult.” Mama Li looked at Bai Yue again: “Miss Chen is twenty-six now. An Omega’s instinct will only get stronger, and it will be harder for her if she’s not marked. So, I think it’s better for Miss to mark her soon. Besides, Miss, you are twenty-six too. If you don’t mark anyone, your rut period will become more frequent. Marking Miss Chen is good for both of you.”
Bai Yue pursed her lips. She decided to be frank with Mama Li: “But I only see Mengyi as a sister. Besides, you know our engagement was arranged by our parents. Mengyi might not be willing. If I mark her, it might be convenient now, but wouldn’t it become more complicated later?”
Mama Li was completely silent, her eyes screaming: No, are you serious?
Mama Li didn’t believe Bai Yue only saw Chen Mengyi as a sister. Seeing the look in Mama Li’s eyes, Bai Yue averted her gaze, then turned back to look directly at Mama Li: “Are all the things in Mengyi’s room ready? Water bottles and emergency food, things like that.”
Mama Li pouted and said coldly: “Miss Chen said not to prepare anything. She plans to spend this heat cycle in another house because Miss was affected by someone else’s pheromones recently. She’s afraid her own pheromones will affect you.”
“Huh?”
Knowing this, Bai Yue became even more restless. Two days later, Chen Mengyi’s heat cycle arrived as scheduled, and she did not appear at the Bai residence. Usually, Chen Mengyi’s scent was everywhere in the Bai house, especially in Bai Yue’s room, where the scent of Chen Mengyi’s pheromones was particularly strong, making it hard to ignore.
That scent was like an air freshener to Bai Yue—always present but seemingly natural, not needing specific mention. But with Chen Mengyi gone for several days, her scent grew fainter, so faint that Bai Yue could barely smell it.
Fortunately, an Omega’s heat cycle only lasted a few days. Chen Mengyi reappeared in front of Bai Yue a week later. She looked no different than before—tall and elegant, her hair covering the gland on the back of her neck.
Bai Yue subtly felt that Chen Mengyi looked a little happy. She didn’t know why she was happy, but her own canine teeth felt slightly itchy.
“Yueyue, what’s wrong?”
Bai Yue attributed her itchy teeth to the overly bland diet recently, so she started whining to Chen Mengyi again: “Mengyi, I want Big Plate Chicken. If not, then chicken stew with pancakes. Without chili is fine too.”
Bai Yue was so pathetic that Chen Mengyi hesitated for a moment. But because she was in a good mood, she agreed to Bai Yue’s request.
Hearing Chen Mengyi relent, Bai Yue immediately exclaimed, “Hooray!” and started calling Mama Li to communicate with the kitchen. They would have chicken stew with pancakes tonight. Bai Yue probably wouldn’t know that Chen Mengyi was happy simply because she saw Bai Yue again.
During the difficult time spent alone in her heat cycle, Chen Mengyi’s mind was clouded by sudden desires, and she missed Bai Yue constantly. When she couldn’t control herself, she would grab the clothes she had secretly “borrowed” from Bai Yue’s room to sniff them.
But the residual pheromones on the clothes soon faded. At that point, she could only take out her phone and look at Bai Yue’s photos. Occasionally, she would scroll to the information tab and see the link to the test report sent by the hospital.
Inside was her pheromone test, which was always stable, so there was nothing much to see there. What was worth mentioning was the other report: the pheromone compatibility test. Chen Mengyi had painstakingly deciphered the obscure professional terms, but the most important part was the compatibility score.
In the section for tested personnel information, Bai Yue’s name was under Alpha, and Chen Mengyi’s was under Omega. The final result showed a compatibility of 87%. Considering the average score was only 50-60, 87 was astonishingly high.
The moment she saw the test report, Chen Mengyi understood why Bai Yue’s two mothers had chosen her. But Chen Mengyi not only didn’t feel sad, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
See? She knew it. She and Bai Yue were the world’s best match.
