Chapter 50: Abnormality

From then on, except for classes and necessary dubbing work, Shu Lin spent almost all his time at Shao Chengxi’s residence.

It was close to where he worked.

In the past, Shao Chengxi never came back to eat with Shu Lin.

Shu Lin mostly ate lunch with Gu Xiao at school.

For dinner, he either ate alone or went back to the Shu family to eat with his father and older sister.

Now, they ate every meal together.

To Shu Lin’s great surprise, Shao Chengxi even wanted him to take a nap with him after lunch.

Though he called it a nap, it was really Shao Chengxi showering him with endless affection.

Also, he was talkative and clingy.

In the past, he liked to tease Shu Lin in private.

He liked to see his little Omega teased until his face turned red and he couldn’t handle it.

Now, he even liked to say straightforward and sugary sweet words.

Shu Lin knew that this was a sign that his rut was coming.

Alphas were naturally clingy to their Omegas during this period, and the higher the pheromone compatibility, the clingier they became.

Shao Chengxi told Shu Lin that his rut was coming.

This was the first time Shu Lin had to accompany his Alpha through his rut.

He was actually very nervous.

The little movies Gu Xiao sent him had content about Omegas accompanying S-Class Alphas through their ruts.

He had secretly watched them.

They were terrifying.

Shao Chengxi was usually very fierce, but if he really entered his rut and lost his mind…

Shu Lin was very afraid.

As March progressed, Shao Chengxi’s abnormalities increased.

That day, Shu Lin didn’t have classes in the morning. After eating lunch with Shao Chengxi, he was pulled into the bedroom by him for some affection.

Fortunately, he remembered that Shu Lin had classes in the afternoon, so he knew to restrain himself and didn’t make Shu Lin late.

However, as soon as Shu Lin finished a two-hour lecture, he was surprised to find that Assistant Cheng was actually at the door of his classroom.

Assistant Cheng didn’t explain much, only saying that Minister Shao had arranged for her to pick up Shu Lin as soon as possible.

Shu Lin was very uneasy along the way.

Was Shao Chengxi suddenly entering his rut because he was so anxious?

Impossible.

He had been using his pheromones to soothe Shao Chengxi these days, so he wouldn’t let him lose control.

Moreover, with Shao Chengxi’s extraordinary self-control, if he felt something was wrong, he could at least hold on for four or five hours.

Even if he was really about to enter his rut, he would insist on returning home; he would never… in the office…

When Assistant Cheng brought Shu Lin into Shao Chengxi’s office, he didn’t see Shao Chengxi, and the heart that was hanging in his throat finally dropped.

After serving him tea, Assistant Cheng said:

“Mr. Shu, Minister Shao asked you to wait for him here. I’ll go out first; please call me if you need anything.”

Shu Lin nodded politely, “Okay, thank you.”

He sat in Shao Chengxi’s office, drinking warm tea, and looked around the office.

He first met Shao Chengxi here.

The scene of the two of them conducting a transaction here resurfaced in Shu Lin’s mind.

Here, he signed the prenuptial agreement.

Shao Chengxi said that he would bear three children for him in the future.

Suddenly, Shu Lin chuckled.

This meant that he still had other uses.

A faint icy pheromone permeated the office.

It had been specially treated.

Others might not be able to smell it, but Shu Lin had been immersed in this pheromone these days, so he could feel it as soon as he breathed.

However, the usually clear and aloof scent was now so thick that it couldn’t be dissolved, and seemed to carry a bit of anxiety.

The blinds in the office were all drawn, cutting the afternoon sun into tiny spots of light.

Shu Lin couldn’t guess why Shao Chengxi had brought him here.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Shu Lin looked up and saw Shao Chengxi walking in quickly, followed by Assistant Cheng.

Shao Chengxi’s face was gloomy and his brow was furrowed, but the moment he saw Shu Lin, his brow suddenly relaxed.

“You go out first,” he said to Assistant Cheng.

Assistant Cheng quickly retreated, neatly closing the door behind her.

She had seen what it meant to change faces at the speed of light.

Shu Lin stood up, looking puzzled, “You, you suddenly brought me…”

Shao Chengxi kissed him.

Shu Lin pushed his chest, “Shao Chengxi… what’s wrong with you?”

Shao Chengxi let go of him, his voice low, “Baby, I’m a little uncomfortable.”

He said he needed his pheromones.

Shu Lin was stunned for a moment, “Now? But… aren’t you in a meeting?”

Shao Chengxi’s whole body would be stained with his pheromones, and others could smell it.

This was very impolite behavior.

Shao Chengxi kissed him again.

The two of them hugged and kissed like this, seemingly endlessly.

Shu Lin’s cheeks were flushed, and he struggled to get up, but Shao Chengxi pressed him down, “Don’t move, be good, let me hold you for a while.”

“Shao Chengxi…” Shu Lin said softly, his voice with a hint of hesitation, “Is your rut… really coming soon?”

Shao Chengxi looked down at him, his expression serious, and said:

“Based on past experience, it’s in these few days, but, baby, these few days are crucial for me and the entire Shao family. You have to help me get through these few days and not let me enter my rut, understand?”

Shu Lin looked confused, “Me, but I don’t know how to help you?”

He only knew that he could accompany Shao Chengxi through his rut, but he didn’t know how to prevent him from entering it.

Shao Chengxi hugged him tightly.

Shao Chengxi whispered, “You just need to be by my side, you don’t need to do anything.”

He didn’t know how long had passed before there was a knock on the office door.

Shu Lin was startled and instinctively wanted to get off Shao Chengxi’s lap, but he was held tighter, “Baby, don’t be afraid, nothing will happen.”

“Minister Shao…” It was Assistant Cheng’s careful voice, “Minister Li said that the presidential palace’s resolution period starts tomorrow for five days, and today’s deployment meeting must be completed.”

“I know, I’ll be right out.”

Shao Chengxi’s voice returned to its usual calm, with no hint of desire.

Afterwards, he put Shu Lin on the sofa and stood under the pheromone purifier to remove their pheromone scent.

Shu Lin looked at him and couldn’t help asking, “Is it about resolving issues related to Ming Jialuo?”

Recently, the struggle between the parties involved after Ming Jialuo’s downfall had become increasingly fierce, and the choice of successor had become increasingly unpredictable.

However, Shu Lin knew that it wouldn’t be Shao Chengxi.

Hearing his words, Shao Chengxi looked at him, paused for two or three seconds, and said:

“Yes, baby, I have to participate in and coordinate the five-day presidential palace resolution meeting. Whether my plan is successful after setting it up for so long all depends on you.”

“Ah?” Shu Lin became inexplicably nervous, “Me? But, what does this have to do with me?”
