Cat O, But Traveling Into The Normal World Chapter 21
byChapter 21 Perfume Husband, where are your pheromones?
The next morning, Yu You packed his luggage and went back with Jiang Xunzhou.
When they arrived at the door of the villa, Yu You had just gotten out of the car. Aunt Liu, who was responsible for daily cooking, ran to open the door with a smile on her face: “Xiao Yu is back?”
Yu You said excitedly: “Aunt Liu, I’m back! I don’t have to control my weight now, I can eat freely!”
“That’s good.” Aunt Liu was also happy and hurriedly got out of the way, “Mr. Jiang asked me to make the dishes richer when you came back today. He also asked me to cut a pineapple for you. I will bring it to the living room for you.”
In the villa, there was a buzzing sound coming from the direction of the kitchen, and the aroma of food floated in the air.
As soon as Yu You pushed the suitcase and stepped in, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and then went straight to the living room.
A crystal glass bowl is placed on the coffee table. The golden pineapple cubes cut into small pieces have been chilled and cool, with a sweet and sour aroma that makes people salivate.
Yu You sat on the sofa, picked up the pineapple bowl, and took several photos with his phone.
Jiang Xunzhou discovered that Yu You particularly liked taking pictures, taking pictures here and there. He came over and asked, “Do you want to take pictures of pineapples too?”
“Of course.”
Yu You raised his head slightly, his clear eyes reflected the light, and he poked the pineapple chunks with the silver fork in his hand, swinging proudly in the air: “You told me last time that my auntie saw that I like to eat pineapple, so she specially cut a bowl for me – for me, this is proof that someone cares about me, so I want to take a photo to remember it.”
This is a habit he brought over from his previous life.
An orange given to him by the crew, a handwritten letter of encouragement from a fan, a kitten that turned on his belly when he met on the roadside…
He likes to take photos to capture these drops of kindness and love, and look them out from time to time.
People you meet in life come and go, with only brief interactions. Fans who originally said they would support him forever will change their minds and climb the wall, express their love for another idol with the same sweet words, and the kitten that turned his stomach will meow and crawl into the bushes, never to meet again.
But that care and love really existed in the past moment.
As long as Yu You sees the photo, he will be reminded of his state of mind at that time.
Being remembered and cared about is the happiest thing in the world, like a sparkling gemstone.
He collected these fragments, kept them in his treasure chest, and lived for these fragments of gems.
Jiang Xunzhou asked: “Be nice to you, just remember it. If I treat you badly, won’t you be very sad?”
“I will definitely be sad.” Yu You said naturally, “But it doesn’t matter, I will try my best to forget.”
In his previous life, he was robbed of his role by people he regarded as friends and slandered him, and he no longer had the role of friend in his subsequent life.
“That’s it?” Jiang Xunzhou frowned, “Aren’t you angry and don’t want to go back for revenge?”
“But now that things have happened, there’s no point in getting angry.” Yu You explained, “Instead of breaking up, it’s better to separate like this and keep the memory of the good times before.”
The corners of Jiang Xunzhou’s lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were dark, as if he was very dissatisfied.
“Are you unhappy?” Yu You asked hesitantly, “Why?”
Jiang Xunzhou said: “Have you never learned how to be angry?”
Yu You was stunned for a moment.
Thinking back carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
His gender was determined through blood at birth. He was raised by the Omega Management and Protection Association along with many other children. He wore one-size-fits-all clothing donated by the society and played with toys shared by everyone. He could own very few things. Under the centralized management system, emotions were luxuries.
Being quiet and well-behaved is the best answer under discipline. When there is a quarrel over a toy, no supervisor will ask the reason or determine the fault. They will just put everyone involved in a solitary room to calm down.
When a conflict occurs, avoiding is the best option.
This is something he has learned since he was a child.
When he was a little older, his teacher who was also an Omega taught courses on flower arrangement, cooking and how to better please his future partner Alpha. Fortunately, with the outbreak of the affirmative movement in the later period, the Omega Management Association was taken over by new forces, and more choices appeared in the courses.
He took acting classes, and after entering the industry, he was gradually seen by others, and gained a lot of likes and love. However, when encountering conflicts, he habitually followed the principles he learned as a child.
Yu You became confused.
Is anger an emotion that needs to be learned?
Jiang Xunzhou suddenly leaned over, his broad palm tightly wrapped around Yu You’s wrist with a force that could not be refused, and he leaned closer.
Yu You widened his eyes and watched as Jiang Xunzhou’s handsome face zoomed in until he was just a few feet away. Then the man lowered his head and took a bite of the pineapple chunks on his silver fork.
Jiang Xunzhou’s thin lips were stained with a little juice and turned a bit bright red. He raised his eyelids, and his dark pupils revealed a bit of a bad smile.
“Your pineapple is gone.”
In this dazed moment, Yu You’s hand flicked, and Jiang Xunzhou took away the fork and the entire bowl of pineapple.
Yu You finally reacted, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and suddenly became anxious: “Why are you arguing with me again? This is what my aunt specially left for me. Didn’t you give it to me as promised last time?”
“I agreed, but I regretted it.” Jiang Xunzhou said in a lazy tone, “If you want to eat, you can grab it yourself.”
He straightened up and raised the pineapple bowl in his hand.
Yu You subconsciously reached for it, grabbing his clothes with one hand and stretching his other hand up, but he was a little taller and couldn’t reach it even on tiptoes.
He almost fell on Jiang Xunzhou, but Jiang Xunzhou held back his laughter and stretched out his arms to support his waist.
Yu You couldn’t catch him, his eyes were red and he was angry and anxious: “Jiang Xunzhou, are you childish?”
Even when he called out his first and last name, he was frightened for a moment, and he panicked to see the reaction on Jiang Xunzhou’s face.
“Don’t you know how to get angry?”
Jiang Xunzhou curled his lips and thrust the pineapple bowl into Yu You’s hand.
Yu You held the glass bowl in both hands, with a confused expression and confusion in his eyes: “You just want to see if I will be angry?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xunzhou nodded, “But it’s not a deterrent. You have to practice again, otherwise you will still be easily bullied outside. I can bully you, but I can’t let others bully me.”
Yuyou is dull.
Isn’t there no Alpha in this world?
How did Jiang Xunzhou become more Alpha than Alpha?
Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You’s face and said with a smile, “I still have work to do. Go back to the study and send me a message when you want to eat.”
Yu You silently recited countless times in his heart that his immediate superior could not fall out with him. He took a deep breath and shouted sweetly in his voice: “Okay, hubby.”
Jiang Xunzhou stared at him with lower eyes, and suddenly said: “It doesn’t matter if you really can’t learn to be angry. If something happens, just come to me like Jiang Mingyan did.”
After all, he can protect it.
Yu You almost couldn’t keep the smile on his face: “Husband, I haven’t met anyone who bullies me except you.”
Jiang Xunzhou nodded calmly: “That’s good.”
He went upstairs, leaving Yuyou alone on the sofa holding a glass bowl and feeling angry.
Who is this!
After the last crew finished filming, the director recommended a book from a friend to him. After reading it, Yu You wanted to take it.
The director was famous for his unique style and did not like capital interference. At first, he was not very happy to meet Yu You. Yu You ran two or three times before he got the opportunity to audition. He even auditioned for two full rounds with other actors before he was finally approved.
However, the subject matter of the script is special, and the early preparation period is long. The shooting will not start until next month. Yu You does not read other scripts, and does not ask Shi Sanlin to help him pick up the variety show, and studies the script by himself.
Jiang Xunzhou was afraid that he would be bored at home every day, so he took him with him to the company. Yu You thought that he could fix the personality of the contract CP by the way, and happily followed him to and from get off work every day. When he entered Jiang Xunzhou’s office, he consciously went into the lounge at the back.
Everyone in Xingtian Entertainment knew that Yu You was being pampered to such an extent that Mr. Jiang even carried him with him to work.
Jiang Xunzhou also discovered the benefits of having a public partner. When attending business dinners out, he could leave the meeting in advance with the excuse of “there are people waiting at home”.
In the past, when meeting industry bosses from my parents’ generation, I had to politely come up with a reasonable excuse for refusing to drink.
It has become much simpler now. I just block it out with “My little boyfriend doesn’t like drinking by himself and will get angry and lock the door and won’t let him go home.”
He also took Yu You home for several meals during the trip, and was “accidentally” photographed by the media. Coupled with Su Qiuling’s last interactive comment on Yu You’s Weibo, some rumors intensified.
Mr. Jiang finally lost his temper and called Jiang Xunzhou, asking sideways and asking if it was confirmed, why not bring it back to him for a look?
“Baby Xiaoyu is still young and is focused on filming, so there’s nothing certain about it.”
Jiang Xunzhou sat back in the office chair, with deep eyebrows and depressed eyes. On his thin wrist, he wore an obsidian watch and an iris diamond bracelet, and the refracted light reflected each other.
His knuckled fingers tapped on the table, his voice neither fast nor slow, revealing tenderness.
“You also know my mother’s temperament. She couldn’t wait to meet someone when she heard I was in love, so I took her back several times. Unexpectedly, the media photographed her once and reported it so exaggeratedly that she even dared to make up the story of changing her mouth, as if she saw it with her own eyes.”
“Of course not, just a simple meal.”
“Well, after a while, I will take him back to visit you. How are you recuperating at the resort recently?”
Jiang Xunzhou asked a few more questions about Mr. Jiang’s health, then hung up the call and rubbed his brows.
He got up, walked to the lounge, and opened the door.
It was dimly lit inside, with a small bag protruding from the bed. The air was filled with the sharp scent of vetiver and the rich, almost sweet scent of iris.
In the past two days, Yu You has begun to particularly like vetiver perfume. He sprays it not only in the guest bedroom where he sleeps, but also in the lounge of the office here.
Sometimes the two of them were taking a nap in the same bed. Jiang Xunzhou was woken up by the boy in his arms, and he found that Yu You was like a kitten, with the tip of his wet nose sniffing carefully against his neck.
Now there is only the last bottle of vetiver perfume left, which is almost finished by Yu You. It has basically bottomed out. Jiang Xunzhou has no choice but to ask his foreign partners to buy a few more bottles of the same perfume for him.
He approached the bed and took the person out of the quilt with ease: “Baby Xiaoyu, wake up, you won’t be able to sleep at night if you continue to sleep.”
The young man murmured vaguely and raised his flushed face. There was some sweat on his face, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead.
“Why is your face so red?”
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, worry flashed in his eyes, and he touched Yu You’s forehead with the back of his slightly cold hand: “Do you have a fever?”
Yu You’s eyes were misty and watery, and the ends of his eyes were a bright red.
The young man was panting heavily and climbed onto Jiang Xunzhou’s lap. While crawling into his arms, he pressed his entire face against the side of the man’s neck, sniffing around with the tip of his nose.
After eating and drinking everywhere with Jiang Xunzhou for a month, Yu You finally returned to his previous weight. His narrow waist also gained some fat, and it no longer felt like a nuisance to the touch. His butt was also soft. At this moment, he was rubbing against Jiang Xunzhou’s legs, almost pressing him where he shouldn’t be.
Jiang Xunzhou stretched out a hand to hold Yu You’s waist to prevent him from moving and falling, and asked, “Why don’t you speak? Is it uncomfortable?”
“Where are your pheromones?”
Yu You’s fingertips were pink, and he curled up and wrinkled the material of Jiang Xunzhou’s shirt. He raised his face and gasped, his voice filled with aggrieved whimpering: “Why can’t I smell it?”
Jiang Xunzhou had already made it clear to Yu You that pheromones were equal to perfume, and coaxed him nicely: “There is only the last bit left in the bottle of perfume, take it yourself. I asked my friends to buy new ones, but they don’t have the goods in the city. They are helping me find the same model in other cities. I haven’t heard back yet. Maybe I can buy it and send it back home in a few days.”
Yu You’s mind was as confused as paste, and he finally slowly remembered where he had put the remaining bottle of perfume. He quickly stood up, went to get the perfume bottle placed under the pillow, and put it in Jiang Xunzhou’s hand.
The transparent perfume bottle has a silver label, with only a thin layer left inside.
Jiang Xunzhou understood, pressed the pump head, and sprayed the last bit of perfume on the side of his neck.
The body temperature on the neck side of the human body is high, the pulse beats, and the blood circulation is fast.When you spray the perfume, the fresh and cold vetiver fragrance spreads out like a mist wrapped in hormones.
Yu You moved forward impatiently, wrapping his arms around Jiang Xunzhou’s back, and pressed the tip of his nose close to the skin on the side of his neck, rubbing it back and forth eagerly, while a broken moan came out of his throat.
The young man bumped into him so hard that he pushed Jiang Xunzhou directly onto the bed, squeezing him as if he wanted to be in his arms, and even pulled Jiang Xunzhou’s arm around his waist.
“You hug me…”
Yu You’s voice was soft and coquettish.
The tips of Jiang Xunzhou’s ears turned crimson, and his Adam’s apple rolled. He stretched out his hand to wrap around Yu You’s waist, and whispered a lesson: “Okay, we are still in the company. I have a few meetings later, so don’t make too much trouble.”
Yu You bit Jiang Xunzhou’s chin and accused angrily: “You are so cruel to me!”
Is this bad?
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned for a while, but couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Yesterday, Yu You didn’t dare to get angry when he snatched two pieces of ribs from the bowl. He just felt depressed. Today, he changed his mind and dared to boss him around and lose his temper?
There was a faint smile in Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes, and his voice became softer: “Okay, then I will postpone all the meetings in the afternoon and stay with you. But let me get a thermometer first. Your temperature is high now, you may have a fever.”
Yu You smelled Jiang Xunzhou’s breath for a long time, and finally regained some sense. He slowly let go of his hand and gasped softly: “I don’t have a fever. It’s just that my body temperature was higher after I just fell asleep. I’m fine. You go to work first.”
Combined with the anxiety of the past two days, Yu You counted the time and felt something bad in his heart.
No one noticed, why is it almost the time for the next passion period?And it is fierce, with a trend that is more violent than last time.
Jiang Xunzhou confirmed and asked: “Is everything okay? You don’t need me to accompany you?”
“No need.”
Yu You shook his head and said, “I can rest here by myself.”
He wanted to sit up by himself, but his legs went weak and he almost fell back on Jiang Xunzhou.
Jiang Xunzhou was a little worried, but Yu You insisted that he was fine, so he had to agree: “If you still feel uncomfortable later, remember to tell me.”
Yu You hummed, and after Jiang Xunzhou left, he went to the bathroom in the lounge and took a cold shower.
After I came out of the shower, I sent a message to Shi Sanlin again, saying that I would be in retreat in the next few days to study the script.
The symptoms during the first two days of the hot phase are relatively mild and you can get through it on your own.
He planned to stay at home alone starting tomorrow, not follow Jiang Xunzhou to the company, and not see anyone. He would wait until those three days of concentrated outbreak time to find a reason to mention this matter to Jiang Xunzhou.
Yu You was a little worried.
I don’t know if pretending to be drugged again would work.
Jiang Xunzhou met with two important clients in the afternoon and returned to the lounge. Regardless of Yu You’s objections, he held the person in his arms and forcibly took the temperature, and found that he did have a low fever.
Yu You insisted that he was fine, so Jiang Xunzhou simply took the people back early and asked Aunt Liu to find some fever-reducing medicine for Yu You.
After returning home, Yu You refused to take medicine. Even Aunt Liu’s persuasion was useless. He hid in the guest bedroom, locked the door, and said he wanted to sleep.
Knowing that Yu You had a low fever, Aunt Liu specially cooked a light dinner and finally coaxed Yu You out of the room.
As soon as Aunt Liu left after get off work, Jiang Xunzhou pulled Yu You into his arms, planning to repeat the same trick and take his temperature again.
Yu You sat on his lap and struggled hard: “I’m fine! You, don’t touch me…”
Jiang Xunzhou was so angry that he slapped him on the butt: “You are still making trouble when you are sick?”
He didn’t pay attention when he started, and the pain made the young man burst into tears, biting his lip and looking at him.
Jiang Xunzhou relented and lowered his voice to coax: “Baby, if the fever doesn’t go away, you can only get better by taking medicine. Just be good, okay?”
Seeing that he couldn’t resist, Yu You languished. He curled up in Jiang Xunzhou’s arms and stopped talking.
Sure enough, the thermometer still showed a low fever.
Yu You was supervised by Jiang Xunzhou as he took the antipyretic medicine, and finally couldn’t help but tell the truth: “As long as you stay away from me these two days, I’ll be fine…”
Probably because the two of them had skin-to-skin contact during the last estrus period. Once they knew what it felt like, that longing turned into a more specific desire. Now when he gets close to Jiang Xunzhou, his whole body becomes hot and weak. Even in the early stages of the estrus period, he begins to feel anxious and unbearable.
Jiang Xunzhou thought he was trying to escape and refused coldly: “No, if the fever doesn’t go away when I get up tomorrow, I’ll call the family doctor over.”
Yu You closed his eyes in despair, and a pitiful cry escaped from his throat.
Jiang Xunzhou went to the study room and continued working on the computer. He planned to go to the guest bedroom to check on Yu You later.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the online meeting was in progress. When the subordinates were reporting their work, the door of the study room suddenly opened.
Jiang Xunzhou subconsciously raised his head and saw Yu You wearing pajamas and standing barefoot on the floor, looking at him with blurred eyes.
It was already late autumn and it was not yet time to turn on the heating. The night temperature was chilly and the floor was freezing cold.
“Why don’t you wear shoes when you have a fever?”
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, gestured to suspend the meeting, and then hurriedly stood up.
He walked a few steps over and hugged Yu You. He immediately felt something was wrong: “Is your body temperature rising again?”
Yu You didn’t answer. He wrapped his arms around Jiang Xunzhou’s shoulders and moved eagerly to the side of his neck, trying to find a familiar scent. The tip of his nose moved twice, and then suddenly froze.
He raised his face and looked at Jiang Xunzhou. Without any warning, he suddenly started crying with his mouth flat.
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned.
The young man cried silently, his eyes were red, and big tears rolled out of his eyes, falling straight down, hitting Jiang Xunzhou’s heart one after another.
“Husband, where are your pheromones?”
Yu You’s voice was trembling, and he was crying in a questioning voice. He was so sad that he looked like he was about to faint: “Why is it not there again?”
Jiang Xunzhou took a shower after dinner and changed into formal clothes for the evening online meeting. The new citron amber shower gel in the bathroom directly covered up the remaining vetiver scent on his body, and the original smell on his clothes disappeared.
“I, I…”
Jiang Xunzhou was at a loss, panicked, and quickly coaxed: “I’m going to spray perfume now—”
As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered that the last bit of vetiver perfume had been sprayed this afternoon, and I couldn’t help but feel a headache.
But Yu You couldn’t stop crying in his arms. Jiang Xunzhou couldn’t understand why he was like this without a perfume.
But he didn’t have time to ponder the reason. He hugged Yu You back to bed and tucked him into a warm quilt. He called Assistant Wan and asked someone to buy vetiver perfume from a nearby shopping mall and deliver it to him.
At around nine o’clock in the evening, many shopping malls were close to closing time. Not only the assistant department, but also the bodyguard team went out in panic. It was with great difficulty that they found a bottle of vetiver perfume in a purple bottle.
This bottle of perfume had been reserved in advance by someone else, and the price was tripled before being bought.
But Jiang Xunzhou sprayed the perfume on his wrist, and Yu You just came over and smelled it. The tears that had just stopped suddenly burst out again, and they fell even harder.
“It’s different, this is not your pheromone…”
The brands are different. Although the main notes are vetiver, the other scents used as blends are different.
Jiang Xunzhou clumsily wiped the tears on Yu You’s face with his palms. For the first time, he felt what it meant to be overwhelmed. He wanted to kneel down: “Do you have to ask for that brand of perfume? Did I force you to take antipyretics tonight and you got angry and deliberately went against me?…”
He looked into Yu You’s eyes that were red from crying, and he was at a loss. He couldn’t say anything serious and could only sigh.
Fortunately, I finally remembered that after receiving the perfume from the brand, I also gave a bottle to Su Qiuling, and hurriedly called my mother.
At around ten o’clock in the evening, Su Qiuling put on a facial mask and was about to go to bed later. When she received a call from Jiang Xunzhou, she still felt puzzled: “Why is Xunzhou looking for me at this hour?”
Jiang Junran next to him was also surprised: “Is there something urgent? Please answer it quickly.”
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Xunzhou didn’t have time to explain the reason. He got straight to the point and went straight to the center: “Mom, do you still keep the bottle of vetiver perfume I gave you? Have you used it?”
Su Qiuling runs a perfume brand. There are countless perfumes in the dressing room. She wonders: “I still have them. It’s useless. What’s wrong?”
“Great.”
Jiang Xunzhou breathed a sigh of relief: “I’ll send someone to get it now.”
“Now?”
Su Qiuling felt even more confused: “What’s wrong with this bottle of perfume? I’m in such a hurry, I need to get it tonight. If you need it, can’t I have someone deliver it to you tomorrow?”
Jiang Xunzhou smiled helplessly and loosened his tie: “Urgent, really urgent, I can’t wait for a moment.”
