Chapter 15
Song Jinzhi felt that Gu Sijiu was constantly pushing her limits and showing her the depths of human depravity and shamelessness. The woman stood before her in a swimsuit, her naturally alluring face flushed with heat, adding even more seductive charm. She gazed at Song Jinzhi groggily; having soaked in the hot spring too long, her eyes had misted over. Song Jinzhi thought that Gu Sijiu at this moment seemed like an Omega in heat, her entire body radiating a wanting flavor, yet her Alpha pheromones remained unmistakably distinct.
"Gu Sijiu." Song Jinzhi raised her voice and called Gu Sijiu's name. She tilted her head, her chest heaving with mortified anger, utterly regretting why she had bothered to come check on this person's well being. Gu Sijiu, still in a daze, snapped back to her senses at Song Jinzhi's shout.
Only then did she recall that she had fallen asleep in the hot spring because it was so comfortable. She had only meant to nap briefly; since Song Jinzhi had come looking for her, it meant she must have been there quite a while. Gu Sijiu looked at Song Jinzhi's slightly angry face, unsure what she was mad about this time. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Song Jinzhi's earlobes. Were they a little red?
Gu Sijiu watched for a moment, then slowly stepped out of the hot spring. As Gu Sijiu emerged from the water, the Alpha pheromones in the air grew intensely concentrated. Their extremely high compatibility allowed them to detect each other's scent at once. Song Jinzhi faintly sensed that Gu Sijiu's pheromones seemed unusually restless right now, unlike her usual state.
Gu Sijiu also realized the problem after getting out. Her inner thighs felt burning hot, and a particular indescribable sensitive spot was especially swollen and aching. When she walked, the swollen nub would inadvertently rub against her swimsuit. As the nub brushed against the fabric, a trace of warm fluid seeped out, making Gu Sijiu's waist go weak.
This was not the first time such a thing had happened. Gu Sijiu had long discovered that this body's anatomy differed from what she had assumed. The first sexual organ of a female Alpha developed from the clitoris; at first she thought it was merely an enlarged clitoris, but later she discovered a tiny pore at its tip, barely visible unless you looked closely. Gu Sijiu had looked up the information and understood that this pore was where a female Alpha ejaculated glandular fluid. Even though her original host's body was defective, it still had that pore. Sometimes when the nub was stimulated, that tiny opening would overflow with a somewhat viscous, transparent fluid, which left Gu Sijiu deeply embarrassed. Remembering that Song Jinzhi was still there, yet she was having such a mortifying physical reaction, Gu Sijiu hurriedly wrapped herself in a bathrobe. She felt the air thicken with Song Jinzhi's scent; the faint hibiscus flower fragrance made Gu Sijiu dizzy and lightheaded. Her inner thighs quivered slightly, and her second sexual organ grew wet as well. Gu Sijiu fled from the hot spring pool as if escaping. After she left, Song Jinzhi's taut nerves relaxed. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes misting with tears.
Gritting her teeth, she looked in the direction Gu Sijiu had gone. She was already gone, yet that damn scent of hers still lingered throughout the entire hot spring pool. Intense, pleasant, and completely unavoidable pheromones. Even if she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she could feel her body's fondness for this scent, so much so that the gland behind her neck was throbbing restlessly.
"Ah..." Song Jinzhi sighed. She waited until her body stopped feeling weak, then slowly stepped into another pool. She didn't soak for long, simply washed up briefly, and returned to the room. Once inside, she faced another dilemma: this was the only room the lodge had available, and there was only one bed. Her options were to sleep with Gu Sijiu or sleep on the floor.
"I want to rest," Song Jinzhi said quietly. Hearing her, Gu Sijiu replied with an "oh," then turned off her computer and shifted to one side. Her action clearly indicated she assumed they would share the bed. Song Jinzhi frowned. She did not lie down, standing beside the bed and staring straight at Gu Sijiu, which baffled the other woman.
"What are you staring at me for?"
"You sleep on the floor. There's extra bedding in the cabinet," Song Jinzhi proposed. Before she could finish, she saw Gu Sijiu look at her as if she were crazy.
"The bed is big and soft, more than enough for two people. Why would I sleep on the floor? If anyone sleeps there, it'll be you."
Gu Sijiu displayed none of the chivalry expected of an Alpha, which Song Jinzhi had fully anticipated. Watching Gu Sijiu roll over and turn her back to her in an utterly shameless manner, Song Jinzhi grabbed the bedding and spread it on the floor, prepared to make do for the night. Although an Omega's body wasn't as robust as an Alpha's, the weather wasn't too cold, so one night shouldn't be too hard to endure.
Gu Sijiu had thought Song Jinzhi would yield and share the bed. She hadn't expected the woman would rather sleep on the floor than lie beside her. She rolled over, tumbling a few times on the soft, large bed, then propped her head on her hand and lay on her side at the edge of the bed, looking down at Song Jinzhi on the floor. Her gaze was too direct, making Song Jinzhi involuntarily open her eyes and look back.
Speechlessly, she saw Gu Sijiu wearing a smug, grinning expression. She was clutching the edge of the bed with both hands, her head poking down to scrutinize her. The sight once again reminded Song Jinzhi of Hanhan, and from the bottom of her heart, she found Gu Sijiu's behavior pointless and childish.
"If you're curious what it feels like to sleep on the floor, you can switch with me."
"I'm not the least bit curious about sleeping on the floor. I'm just curious what an idiot looks like when they're making things hard for themselves. Wooden Face, has anyone ever told you that you look especially ugly lying flat on your back?"
Gu Sijiu said this with a deadpan earnestness. Song Jinzhi could barely stand being called Wooden Face, let alone being so bluntly told she looked ugly. She hadn't kept careful count, but she vaguely remembered that since the car accident until now, Gu Sijiu had said she was ugly more than once. Song Jinzhi had been recognized as a beauty since childhood: as a baby, everyone had clamored to hold her; throughout school, she had always been the campus belle.
Song Jinzhi had never been maligned for her looks, Gu Sijiu was the first.
Song Jinzhi was furious, regretting even more that she hadn't brought her stun gun. She was utterly helpless against Gu Sijiu. Her good upbringing prevented her from cursing, and she didn't even know how to retort, so she just stood there, too angry to speak. Seeing her state, Gu Sijiu laughed, then suddenly got up and pulled her off the floor.
"Come up and share the bed. I promise I won't touch you, okay? Besides, you know perfectly well what my physical condition is. What could I possibly do to you?" Gu Sijiu said this with rare sincerity, even voluntarily bringing up her own defect. Song Jinzhi froze. For any Alpha, such a thing was an absolute sore spot and a taboo. She also knew how much Gu Sijiu cared about her physical deficiency. Yet now, to get her to sleep in the bed, she had mentioned it so casually.
At that moment, Song Jinzhi suddenly felt that the person before her didn't seem like someone with amnesia, but more like an entirely different person. She hesitated for a moment, then decided there was no point risking her health. If Gu Sijiu really wanted to do something to her, sleeping on the floor wouldn't stop her. Song Jinzhi got back onto the bed, silently snatched the only blanket, and cocooned herself inside it. Seeing this, Gu Sijiu was awed by her maneuver, but had no choice but to get another blanket from the cabinet.
Perhaps because the hot spring had relaxed her body, Gu Sijiu quickly fell into a deep sleep, occasionally even humming in comfort. But Song Jinzhi, whose nerves had been on edge, could not fall asleep. She admitted that in some ways, she was indeed afraid of Gu Sijiu. Their respective identities dictated the disparity in their strength; it was extremely easy for an Alpha to overpower an Omega. If Gu Sijiu wanted to forcibly mark her, the Federal Bureau wouldn't convict her, after all, they were already engaged and had such a high compatibility rating.
The entire night, every time Gu Sijiu turned over or made any noise, Song Jinzhi would tense up. As a result, she didn't sleep a wink all night, only sinking into exhausted slumber from sheer panic when the sky began to pale. When Gu Sijiu woke, what she saw was Song Jinzhi tightly wrapped in the cotton blanket, her whole body curled into a small ball, like a soft white dumpling, with only her head exposed.
Accustomed to Song Jinzhi's mature demeanor, Gu Sijiu was seeing her sleeping face for the first time. She thought Song Jinzhi looked very cute when asleep, and her face wasn't wooden at all. Although it radiated defensiveness, that face was also gentle and innocent. Gu Sijiu reached out to smooth her hair. After making that gesture, she sat stiffly on the bed. In that moment, Gu Sijiu could clearly sense her own inexplicable behavior.
She understood that her action wasn't controlled by pheromones or anything of the sort; she simply thought Song Jinzhi was cute. But... she clearly found Song Jinzhi annoying. Why did she find her cute, and even want to get close to her? Gu Sijiu lay back down on the bed in a daze, faintly catching the hibiscus scent on Song Jinzhi.
She closed her eyes, greedily breathing in that scent, and her body involuntarily drew nearer. Just as an Omega in heat needs to be close to an Alpha, an Alpha in the morning also desperately craves an Omega's gaze and touch. This feeling resembled animal behavior in a way; their sharp nerves longed to be soothed.
Gu Sijiu stared dazedly at Song Jinzhi's beautiful sleeping face. She couldn't help extending her hand and stroking the strands of her hair, then slowly inching closer, pressing her forehead against Song Jinzhi's neck and nuzzling. That spot carried the most concentrated Omega scent; the area around the gland was saturated with dense pheromones, making Gu Sijiu close her eyes and repeatedly rub her cheek against it.
Her actions held no malice. The scent she released was very pure. Song Jinzhi, feeling tickled and comfortable, subconsciously leaned back a little in her half awake state. Sensing her closeness, Gu Sijiu pressed her forehead against the back of Song Jinzhi's neck, quietly taking a few deep breaths. Only when she felt that Song Jinzhi's scent had completely enveloped her did Gu Sijiu finally force herself to get up. She twisted her waist and walked out of the room. The moment she opened the door, she saw yesterday's receptionist looking at her with an extremely suggestive gaze, her eyes falling specifically on Gu Sijiu's hand resting on her own waist.
Gu Sijiu: Huh?
