Chapter 34 part 1
Bai He left the hospital not too late, returning home just in time for dinner. The apartment had been empty for a few days, the refrigerator was completely bare, with nothing inside.
He parked his car at the bottom of the apartment building and went to the nearby small restaurant to order a bowl of dumplings with fresh meat filling. The auntie who cooked the dumplings took a few glances at him and added more to his bowl.
The bowl arrived, filled to the brim with plump dumplings, almost overflowing.
Bai He was a bit surprised.
The owner was an elderly woman who looked very gentle. Seeing Bai He's dazed expression, she stood beside him and smiled, "You look too thin, child. Omegas are delicate, so Auntie gave you a little extra."
Bai He was taken aback, yet also surprised. He thanked the kind auntie, then hesitantly asked, "Can you... tell that I'm an...?"
"Isn't it obvious at first glance?" The auntie leaned back, carefully observing Bai He with a sincere expression. After a moment, she stood up straight and smiled, her wrinkles filled with a gentle warmth. "Auntie has seen many beautiful children, and you, you're truly well-born. Although Auntie can't just judge by appearance, my intuition tells me you're an omega, right?"
Bai He pursed his lips, neither nodding nor shaking his head, just thanking the auntie for the compliment.
If physical appearance could determine it, then no one at school had said he was an omega before.
Everyone who knew him thought he was a beta, so they wouldn't suspect, but for strangers, perhaps they would indeed intuit, like this auntie, that he is an omega.
There were so many things Bai He didn't understand about this world.
Although the original text had clear settings, many details were not actually described, like this auntie's intuition - what was that? Do people in this ABO world all have this kind of intuition?
Bai He didn't dwell on it, finishing the dumplings and bidding farewell to the auntie. He carried the items back home.
After changing into slippers and placing the items on the small tea table in the living room, he stood still, quietly looking at the hospital-branded bag. He then moved to the sofa, reaching in to take out the contents one by one, neatly arranging them on the table.
Nine suppressant injections, two boxes of scent-blocking patches, a scent-blocking spray, a thick instruction manual, and a sex education book.
The nurse who accompanied him said the suppressants were for his next heat cycle, which generally lasts seven days, one shot per day, with the extra two as backup.
The scent-blocking patches and spray were to mask his pheromone scent, which apparently work very well, almost completely blocking all scent.
But there was one exception.
If they encountered an alpha with a compatibility rate above 90%, no matter how effective the patches and spray, the two would still be able to sense each other's pheromones.
Bai He unconsciously touched the back of his neck, the area around his gland felt warm. That was the spot without a patch.
The nurse said he didn't need to keep the patch on after his heat, he had to learn to control his own pheromones.
As for this kind of knowledge, as a transmigrator, it actually involved a blind spot in his understanding.
Although he had read about it in the original text...
Bai He's pupils suddenly shrank, his mind flashing back to the shocking settings in the original work.
Oh right... Omegas grow what kind of pouch again?
Bai He quickly covered his abdomen, rubbing it anxiously. His expression turned grave.
In other words, he had a uterus-like reproductive pouch in his belly, able to bear children...
His mind recalled the heart-wrenching descriptions in the original text about the protagonist's permanent bonding, which had once frightened Bai He so much that he couldn't recover for several days.
The descriptions were too explicit, too crude, one could even say cruel.
Bai He's sexual orientation was male, and he greatly admired the greatness of female childbirth, but that didn't mean he could easily accept bearing children himself.
Having a child requires courage, whether male or female, it requires very strong willpower.
And complete bonding, that's really, so ruthless...
Bai He recalled those descriptions, the protagonist almost crying and fainting from it...
His heart was in knots, and he hurriedly went to the bedroom to get his pajamas, then rushed into the bathroom.
The sound of running water echoed, Bai He standing under the shower, tilting his head back, eyes closed, letting the warm water cascade down his face and body.
The bathroom was filled with steam, Bai He turned around, hanging his head and opening his eyes, staring at his reddened toes on the floor.
He walked barefoot, feeling the floor, his expression slightly dazed. He unconsciously raised his hand, gently placing it on the soft flesh at the back of his neck.
The moment he touched it, his whole body trembled like he was electrocuted, his legs instantly turning weak, almost causing him to sit on the floor. Luckily, he grabbed the sink and slowly stood back up.
Bai He bit his lower lip, lifting his gaze to meet his own eyes in the mirror.
He rarely observed his own reflection, but looking more closely, he still felt that this face was his own, the original host's face and his own were almost identical, indistinguishable.
At the moment, this face was flushed with a light red, from the ears all the way down to the neck. Bai He turned sideways, tilting his head to clearly see the area around his gland - it was particularly red, like a ripe peach, as if it could ooze water.
Just a light touch and he reacted so strongly...
Bai He looked at himself in the mirror, the hazy mist shrouding the surface, the rising temperature making his gaze hazy.
In his daze, he seemed to see Qin Yao's face through the blurred mirror.
Snapping back to clarity, the mirror only reflected him again. Bai He stood shirtless, his slender, snow-white figure, every contour just right, lacking obvious muscle lines yet still firm.
Qin Yao was also very beautiful. He recalled the last time he applied medicine to Qin Yao, the alpha's body was well-trained, with visible chest and abdominal muscles, every part radiating powerful explosiveness.
Bai He's heartbeat skipped a beat, he stared blankly at the mirror, as if Qin Yao's naked body appeared behind him.
Illusion.
Bai He's heartbeat quickened, he suddenly shook his head, burying his face. When he raised it again, the mirror only showed him.
Bai He regained his senses, his face burning hot.
—
The second week of the semester, on Tuesday, Bai He finally adjusted his body and returned to school. According to the arranged schedule, he attended classes in the morning, interned at the company in the afternoon, and streamed live in the evening.
Bai He adjusted his live streaming time, as he was busy, changing it to three times a week. His fan base was basically stabilized, allowing him to devote more time to his studies and internship.
After that day, Qin Yao had sent Bai He a few more messages, occasionally including photos of the bell, telling Bai He that Qin Yao's family really liked the bell.
Bai He actually missed the bell, so he left it at Mr. Nan's house for a few more days.
On Friday morning, as usual, Bai He got up, washed up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and hurried to school with a cup of porridge.
Eight o'clock, the main class, two consecutive sessions of social education, followed by two consecutive sessions of sex education.
Bai He had already returned to school for two days, and there was something he felt quite puzzled about - the sex education course at the alpha university was conducted from the alpha's perspective.
The previous two days were fine, covering some understandable theoretical knowledge, but today's class, the lecturer had asked them to preview in advance, about the proper ways for alphas to mark omegas, including temporary and permanent bonding.
In fact, this was a similar concept to the sex education curriculum in Bai He's original world, but the problem was that Bai He was now an omega, so learning this knowledge felt a bit strange.
In the tiered lecture hall, Bai He habitually found a window seat near the front, and he was the only one sitting in that row.
This was not unusual, Bai He was the only beta at the school, and many people knew him, the original host was not exactly a good-natured person, so his interpersonal relationships, while not terrible, were not particularly good either.
Bai He didn't care much about interpersonal relationships, as the professor walked into the classroom and stood at the podium, the noisy classroom fell silent for a moment, and Bai He opened his book.
"You've all previewed it, so let's go straight to the main topic," the young alpha professor, surnamed Han, who taught as an associate professor, was very good at livening up the classroom atmosphere. "You all actually understand, the textbook knowledge I teach is not absolute, the real insights come from your own future practice."
