Chapter 41
After they cleaned up the dishes and tossed them to the AI for washing, they sat down together on the sofa. Song Jinzhi poured two cups of hot tea. Gu Sijiu turned her cup in her hands, more or less guessing that the reason Song Jinzhi had asked her to stay was about the Heat Period. It had come on so suddenly. Neither of them had been prepared before being dragged into the abyss of desire, and it hadn't stopped for three whole days.
Gu Sijiu couldn't help recalling those scenes. She looked up at Song Jinzhi, who had reverted back to her Wooden Face, and compared her current expression to her passionate one during the Heat Period. She couldn't suppress a shiver. Tsk... this woman really did have two faces, one in bed and one out of it. If she hadn't gone through the Heat Period with Song Jinzhi, she truly never would have guessed what Song Jinzhi was like in bed. Alluring, delectable, a hundred times better than this Wooden Face she was putting on now.
"Gu Sijiu, thank you... for helping me these past three days. We're both adults, and I won't pretend this didn't happen. Besides, you and I are legally engaged, registered with the Federal Bureau. If you're willing, I'd like us to establish an agreement. From now on, for each monthly Heat Period, we could continue doing... this."
Song Jinzhi had rehearsed these words in her mind for a long time. She had also hesitated for a long time before deciding. Without a doubt, going to bed with Gu Sijiu had been an accident, but the result of that accident could only be described as wonderful. Savor the flavor, that was Song Jinzhi's most direct thought after sleeping with Gu Sijiu. The Alpha's scent was very pleasant. After their intimate contact, Gu Sijiu's pheromones lingered around her body, a dual satisfaction both physical and psychological. Even now, Song Jinzhi still couldn't help but reminisce about that feeling of blending together.
An Omega's Heat Period was frequent and agonizing, and long term use of suppressants had side effects. Once, Song Jinzhi had worried that being intimate with Gu Sijiu might lead to uncontrollable accidents. But the Gu Sijiu of now made Song Jinzhi feel at ease. She had also kept her promise not to Mark her, which was one of the reasons Song Jinzhi made up her mind. Since that was the case, why continue suppressing herself with suppressants instead of choosing to spend a comfortable three days with Gu Sijiu? Song Jinzhi asked herself this, and finally reached her decision.
"You mean, you still want to have sex with me? Once a month from now on?" Gu Sijiu was slightly taken aback by Song Jinzhi's words, only then understanding what she wanted. Gu Sijiu wasn't averse to being intimate with Song Jinzhi. She also found sleeping with her quite comfortable. If Song Jinzhi hadn't given her the cold shoulder at noon, Gu Sijiu would have happily accepted. But now, she was feeling a little sulky.
"If you want to do that kind of thing with me, why did you treat me like that at noon?" Gu Sijiu held a grudge. She still remembered going to call Song Jinzhi happily at noon, only to be met with a closed door. Seeing Gu Sijiu purse her lips, twist her face away from her, and act like she was waiting to be coaxed, Song Jinzhi pressed her own lips together in some embarrassment. She hadn't meant to cold shoulder Gu Sijiu at noon; it was just that, at the time, she hadn't figured out how to face her.
When Song Jinzhi proposed spending the Heat Period together, she never imagined Gu Sijiu would refuse. Hearing her say this now, she actually felt a bit flustered. She was at a loss, her lips parting slightly before slowly closing again. When Gu Sijiu didn't hear anything from her for a while, she couldn't help turning back to look, only to see Song Jinzhi sitting there restlessly, her entire face flushed with shy embarrassment, looking like a schoolgirl who had made a mistake.
Gu Sijiu was instantly charmed by this look on Song Jinzhi's face. It was what you'd call hitting her moe point.
Song Jinzhi always had this kind of contrast. She clearly looked like such a steady person, yet she could do something like pulling Gu Sijiu down into the pool to splash her. Usually she seemed like an abstinent goddess, yet in bed she was so unrestrained and passionate. And now, that same feeling was back. She was too embarrassed to look at Gu Sijiu, her ears red. That adorable little expression made Gu Sijiu's heart soften. She rubbed her long hair in frustration. Why did she keep getting the feeling that this woman would have her completely wrapped around her finger in the future?
"Alright, alright, I didn't say I wouldn't agree. Your scent is quite nice, and your body is soft. I... I also quite enjoy doing that with you." Gu Sijiu explained softly. With every word she spoke, Song Jinzhi's face reddened another shade. Eventually, unable to listen anymore, Song Jinzhi coughed dryly, cutting Gu Sijiu off.
"Since you agree, I have three conditions that I hope you will abide by while we maintain this relationship. First: when we spend the Heat Period together, you may not forcibly Mark me. Second: you may not attempt to Impregnate me. Third: during this period, I hope you will not engage in sexual relations with other people." Song Jinzhi put on a stern face and earnestly stated her three conditions. Seeing her revert back to that deadpan look, Gu Sijiu gave a light snort, a strange sense of discomfort rising in her heart. She couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt this way. Out of pique, she thought for a moment, then couldn't resist adding a point of her own.
"I agree to everything you said. But we don't interfere with each other. Who I choose to associate with is my own private matter."
After stating her condition, Gu Sijiu looked up at Song Jinzhi, saw her frown slightly, and then nod in agreement. And so, their agreement was made. Song Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Once her taut nerves relaxed, exhaustion quickly caught up with her. The two of them hadn't rested properly during the three days of the Heat Period. Song Jinzhi's afternoon nap hadn't gone well either because of the matter weighing on her mind. Now she was utterly worn out.
"Mm, then I'll go upstairs and rest. Make yourself at home." Song Jinzhi finished speaking and immediately returned to her room. Seeing her go upstairs, Gu Sijiu had no intention of staying downstairs either. She went back to her room, took a comfortable shower, and lay down on the freshly made bed. She intended to rest and sleep, but she kept having an irrepressible urge to laugh.
Gu Sijiu didn't know what was wrong with her. Just thinking that she and Song Jinzhi would continue to have opportunities for intimacy in the future made her actually start looking forward to next month. She couldn't explain why she, a perfectly straight woman, was looking forward to sleeping with Song Jinzhi. But in her heart, Gu Sijiu set a small goal for herself: next time she slept with Song Jinzhi, she definitely had to do some "enjoying."
Gu Sijiu closed her eyes, planning to rest. Her communicator, unwilling to be lonely, lit up. She glanced at the caller ID. It was actually Yi Wei, who hadn't appeared in a while. Gu Sijiu lazily answered and immediately saw that Yi Wei seemed to be at their usual bar. She more or less guessed the intention of the call.
"Darling, why do you look completely drained? Come out for a drink. I've been stifled to death lately." Yi Wei had put on heavy makeup and was smiling and beckoning. On a normal day, Gu Sijiu would definitely have gone. But today she was utterly exhausted, with no energy left for drinking. She just wanted to sleep at home.
"I haven't rested well for days. I don't want to go anywhere now. Drink by yourself. Going to sleep." Gu Sijiu simply hung up the video call, completely ignoring Yi Wei's coaxing. Seeing Gu Sijiu cut her off so directly, Yi Wei wasn't really angry. She had come to the bar tonight purely to drink, not to hunt for company. She genuinely just felt like drinking.
Yi Wei was someone accustomed to indulgence and pleasure. No one could make her do things she didn't want to do. But following Wen Qiulan to classes for the better part of a month, Yi Wei felt like she was about to go stir crazy. Firstly, she could smell Wen Qiulan's lovely scent but couldn't touch or taste her. Secondly, in order to play the good girl, she hadn't been to the bar in quite a while.
Today happened to be a day Wen Qiulan said she was going out with friends at night, so Yi Wei seized the opportunity to come out for some air and revert to her true nature. She sat at the bar, ordering the wine she liked to drink. She was in a good mood at first, but then someone suddenly sat down next to her, giving her the feeling of having swallowed a fly.
"Yi, long time no see. Remember me?" The speaker was Angela, a female Beta Yi Wei had casually hooked up with before. She was also Wen Qiulan's ex...
"Miss Angela, I recall we made ourselves very clear. A qualified one night stand should act as if they're dead the moment they get out of bed. What is it? Was the money Deonise gave you not enough?"
Displeasure showed on Yi Wei's face, and the words coming out of her mouth weren't pleasant either. Angela's smiling face stiffened instantly. She admitted it; she couldn't forget the taste of Yi Wei. This person was simply too stunningly beautiful in bed. And secondly, Yi Wei clearly looked like the wealthy type. Greed was a thought everyone harbored, and Angela was no exception.
"Yi, don't be so heartless. Actually, I really liked being with you. I..." Angela wanted to say more, but Yi Wei had no interest in listening. She waved her hand, telling her to shut up, and made to leave the bar. Just as she stood up, she saw Wen Qiulan walk in, wearing a crisp white suit alongside several other people.
In her heart, Yi Wei slowly typed out a question mark and an exclamation point...
