MFIMM Chapter 1

Pheromone Disorder Syndrome

Pheromone Disorder Syndrome

A University

Graduation was imminent, and the school was filled with people taking photos in their graduation gowns. Lin Xi weaved through the crowd and walked to the auditorium. Today, the school had invited many alumni to provide career guidance.

Lin Xi’s roommates were all busy with other things, and none of them wanted to attend any lectures. Lin Xi, on the other hand, was the most enthusiastic.

He clutched a letter in his hand and found a seat in the front row.

The leader spoke eloquently, and Lin Xi kept looking towards the backstage, anticipating the person who was about to come on stage.

Finally, the person walked to the center of the stage, bathed in the stage lights. He wore a tailored suit that outlined his muscular physique. A faint smile hung on his face.

The people below, who were almost dozing off, stared intently at him, and countless omegas exclaimed in amazement, whispering Pei Jiashu’s name.

This person, three years after graduating from school, had created a new media company on his own and become a well-known media company.

Lin Xi nervously clutched the letter in his hand. He had been secretly in love with Pei Jiashu for a very long time, following in his footsteps from high school to get here. Now he was about to graduate, and if he didn’t confess, he might not have another chance.

Pei Jiashu spoke eloquently on stage, but without losing his humor, making everyone laugh.

As he stepped down from the stage, Lin Xi quietly left his seat.

He knew a classmate in new media and used the back door to enter the backstage, where he saw Pei Jiashu, who had just come off the stage and was preparing to leave.

“Pei Jiashu!” Lin Xi called out to Pei Jiashu. He ran over and handed the love letter to Pei Jiashu.

His heart pounded as if it were about to leap out of his chest. Lin Xi didn’t dare to look Pei Jiashu in the eye and said, “Senior, I’ve liked you for a long time…”

“And then?” Pei Jiashu interrupted Lin Xi, his voice completely different from the one he had used on stage. His voice was low and even a little impatient, like winter snow, with a bone-chilling cold that made people feel cold all over.

He snatched the love letter from Lin Xi’s hand. It was childishly drawn with a Q version of a little person making a heart gesture.

Lin Xi looked up, staring blankly at Pei Jiashu. Touching Pei Jiashu’s impatience, he couldn’t utter a single word of the prepared speech.

“Heh.” Pei Jiashu snorted coldly, “You’re scared away just like that. You omegas are so boring.”

He casually threw the envelope back at Lin Xi. Lin Xi stood there in a daze, the envelope falling lightly to the ground.

Was this the person he liked?

Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu in disbelief, but still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

What if… what if Pei Jiashu was just careless? How could such a gentle person casually trample on other people’s feelings?

Lin Xi squeezed out a smile: “I know you didn’t mean it.”

As he bent down to pick up the envelope, Pei Jiashu had already walked past him ruthlessly, stepping on the confession letter that he had spent several days completing, grinding it under his foot.

A faint pheromone leaked out due to the omega’s loss of control. He lowered his head and didn’t see the alpha’s face on the side looking even worse.

“Don’t try to seduce me with these dirty tricks.” Pei Jiashu left these words and walked straight away, leaving only Lin Xi squatting on the ground.

When he passed by, he brought a gust of wind, mixed with the scent of mint. Lin Xi covered his mouth, feeling nauseous.

When Pei Jiashu’s figure disappeared, he suddenly came back to his senses, squatted on the ground and picked up the confession letter.

The Q version of the little person on it was all gray and unrecognizable.

Lin Xi placed the letter in the crook of his knee, rested his head on it, and tears couldn’t be held back as they streamed down.

—

Waking up suddenly from the dream, the feeling of loss and grief was still there. Lin Xi touched his eyes, which were stained with a little coolness and wetness.

He habitually turned on his phone. In the past few days, he had sent countless resumes on the software, all of which had sunk without a trace.

With nothing to do at school, he moved back home to live. His parents were always asking him how his job search was going, and Lin Xi could only casually answer a few words, lying in bed, eating and waiting to die.

“Xiao Xi, dinner’s ready.” Outside the door, Lin’s mother knocked lightly on the door. Lin Xi walked out from inside. Lin’s father was already sitting at the table. There was a scent of ink in the air, which was Lin’s father’s pheromone.

He didn’t know what was wrong today, but he felt like throwing up when he smelled the pheromone.

It was even worse during dinner. All kinds of smells mixed together. Lin Xi opened his mouth palely, ran to the toilet and vomited. At the same time, omega pheromones poured out from his glands.

By the time Lin’s mother went to the bathroom, Lin Xi had already fallen to the ground.

“Xiao Xi!” Lin’s mother screamed and lifted Lin Xi from the ground, shouting for Lin’s father to call an ambulance.

—

After a series of examinations after arriving at the hospital, Lin Xi had already woken up.

Various smells were mixed together in the hospital. Pheromones and disinfectant smells filled Lin Xi’s nose, especially the faint alpha pheromones on Lin’s father’s body, which made Lin Xi collapse even more.

The doctor frowned and told Lin’s father to wait outside first.

Lin’s mother’s well-maintained face was almost wrinkled together at this time, anxiously looking at the doctor, “Doctor, what’s wrong with my child? Why did he suddenly become like this?”

“This is a pheromone-induced stress disorder. Omegas will reject the pheromones of other alphas, and may even have allergic reactions, pseudo-heats, and other conditions.”

The doctor asked Lin Xi some more questions, and finally concluded, “This is caused by psychological factors, and drug treatment may not have a great effect.”

“A mental illness requires a mental cure. It’s easy to solve if you find the cause.”

Lin Xi instantly understood what the doctor meant. This illness was caused by a failed confession plus graduation unemployment. He had to overcome these psychological obstacles to cure his pheromone disorder.

But this was not something he could control, so he asked the doctor: “Doctor, is there any other solution?”

The doctor adjusted his glasses, “Find an alpha with a high compatibility and do desensitization therapy.”

“That means just finding a partner, right?” Lin’s mother was relieved when she heard this and patted Lin Xi on the shoulder, “It’s time to find a partner after graduation. Doctor, please put his pheromones in the matching database and look for an alpha that is highly compatible with him.”

“Mom, I don’t want to get married yet.” Lin Xi said to Lin’s mother.

Lin’s mother’s beautiful face wrinkled, and she looked at Lin Xi angrily. Lin Xi’s waist tightened subconsciously, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

“This is for the sake of your health. It’s not necessarily a marriage. Let’s just find an alpha to date.” Lin’s mother said with a smile, and Lin Xi didn’t dare to refute more.

In recent years, fewer and fewer people are willing to get married, so the Federation has introduced many policies. The pheromone matching database is one of them. The information of AOs who are 25 years old will automatically enter the matching database to find highly compatible spouses.

A single tax will be levied from the age of 25, increasing every year.

But he is only 22 now.

After getting some allergy medicine from the doctor, Lin Xi put this matter behind him. After all, no alpha would reveal pheromones in public. As long as they didn’t have close contact, there was no problem at all.

But Lin’s mother took this matter to heart and began to look for various alphas for Lin Xi, asking all her relatives and friends, as if Lin Xi was eager to marry.

Lin Xi had been worrying about work lately, going to companies to submit resumes and interview during the day, and doing live broadcasts to teach makeup at night.

He had posted a few photos online before, and as a result, many people asked about his makeup. He majored in media in college, so he simply started his own account, but the account only had a few thousand followers, and the number of people in the live broadcast room was only a few hundred.

It was extremely difficult to make a living by relying on the Internet. He could only treat it as a side job to earn some milk tea money.

During the live broadcast, his phone kept ringing. Upholding his professional ethics, Lin Xi turned off the live broadcast before seeing the message.

[Lin Xi, is this person you? I think this voice sounds a bit like you, and the clothes seem to be the same…]

The dormitory group was already in an uproar, and Pei Jiashu’s name was the center of discussion.

He swiped to the top and clicked on the video. The familiar voice pulled him back to the backstage of the auditorium.

Pei Jiashu’s cold words came out of the phone, “Can you omegas stop going into heat in front of me all the time?”

Lin Xi felt nauseous when he heard Pei Jiashu’s voice now. He gripped his phone tightly, and his knuckles turned pink because he used too much force.

He didn’t expect that Pei Jiashu would not only reject him, but also find someone to take a video and post it, wanting to humiliate him again? He was really blind, how could he think that such a person was gentle.

Everyone in the group chat was still chatting enthusiastically. Lin Xi really didn’t want to see Pei Jiashu’s name, so he turned off his phone and stared blankly at the ceiling.

He didn’t expect that the next day, as soon as he left the neighborhood, he would be stopped by someone.

The person wore a baseball cap and a black mask, and simple shirt and straight-leg pants, but managed to wear them with the feeling of a runway model.

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up, but the mysterious person took off his mask at this moment, revealing a face he loathed.

“You…”

Before he could finish speaking, the person on the other side lowered his voice and said, “Delete the video.”

He was stunned. What video?

Looking at Lin Xi’s stunned expression, Pei Jiashu frowned and put his phone in front of Lin Xi.

It was a Weibo side account. The content was the video he saw last night, and the caption was [I didn’t expect the president of Jiashang to discriminate against omegas. I won’t like him anymore in the future]

An unremarkable Weibo post was now on the trending searches.

Marketing accounts flocked to it, comparing Pei Jiashu’s previous speech video with this video, and the contrast between the two instantly pushed Pei Jiashu to the forefront.

If the timing wasn’t wrong, Lin Xi would have laughed out loud. It was simply retribution, so great!

Seeing that Lin Xi didn’t react, Pei Jiashu repeated, “Delete the video.”

Lin Xi then understood what Pei Jiashu meant. It turned out that this person thought he took the video.

He snorted coldly, “Don’t say that this video wasn’t posted by me, even if it was posted by me, I wouldn’t delete it. These things are facts anyway. What’s wrong with letting everyone see your true colors?”

His voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of the people next to him.

Faced with Lin Xi, who was impervious to persuasion, Pei Jiashu lowered his head and “tsk” lightly, then raised his head, already with another face.

“This matter has a great impact on me. I was just too anxious just now and offended you. I’m very sorry. But if I can’t solve this matter, my family will force me to go on blind dates, and it will also have a great impact on my company. So let’s understand each other and delete the video, okay?”

Pei Jiashu was sincere, and the arrogant aura just now disappeared completely, as if he had become a different person.

Back to the gentle Pei Jiashu he once liked.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Pei Jiashu was clearly morally kidnapping him, “It’s useless for you to tell me this. I didn’t post the video.”

Pei Jiashu’s face suddenly cooled down again, a master of face-changing.

Lin Xi slandered in his heart, this person has such a bad temper, it must have been hard for him to pretend to be gentle for so long.

“You should go on blind dates.” Lin Xi smiled gloatingly.

“You…” Pei Jiashu’s face was cold, his eyebrows almost twisted together, and his fists were clenched at his side.

Lin Xi took a step back unconsciously, afraid that Pei Jiashu would come up and beat him, but Pei Jiashu just walked away with a livid face.

He just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he received a call from Lin’s mother, “Xiao Xi, Mom has found you an alpha who is tall, handsome, and rich. You’ve been idle lately anyway, find some time to meet him.”

“Mom!” Lin Xi grabbed his phone and roared, “I’m only 22!”

Lin’s mother took the phone a little further away and said with a smile, “22 is not early, you can get married at 18.”
