Chapter 50
“Why would it be considered bending the law? I just hope he can make a call for me. Ye Zhi, do you want to see your brother’s family in trouble?” The conversation turned back to this matter, and Ye Zhi was scolded before Ye Wan hung up the phone.
Ye Zhi lied. In fact, Huo Youqiao happened to be on vacation these past few days.
It wasn’t a normal vacation but a necessary one because Huo Youqiao was experiencing his sensitive period. People who could transform into attributes were very powerful, with outstanding abilities in certain areas, but their bodies could also experience abnormal states, such as if pheromones leaked strongly enough, it could induce a loss of rationality and an estrus, and unless suppression agents were injected immediately, they would only want to mate.
Long-term use of suppression agents would result in a sensitive period. During this time, individuals were easily influenced by pheromones. Even if they were isolated from others, they could easily be stirred up by other emotions, such as impulsiveness, irritability, and, in more serious cases, a rise in body temperature, causing fever.
Huo Youqiao was in this stage.
For this reason, even Huo Ran had been sent to her uncle’s house for care. During these two days, Huo Youqiao would only be active indoors, not going out, so it could be considered a vacation.
He would typically experience a sensitive period every three months. The last time it happened, Ye Zhi was not acquainted with him, so he didn’t notice it at all. But this time, Ye Zhi noticed it as soon as he came home from work.
The subtle scent of wood leaves, which could only be smelled up close in the past, now permeated the entire house. Even if Ye Zhi had been injected with suppression agents, he would have immediately entered estrus due to this smell, but apart from finding it pleasant, his body wouldn’t react unusually.
Or not entirely, at least his heartbeat was accelerating.
The doors and windows of the house were all closed, with only the ventilation system running to prevent the scent from spreading and affecting others nearby.
Although Aunty Wang didn’t need to come over these days, there was no smell of food in the house even at dinner time. There was no sign of Huo Youqiao in the living room, and it seemed that no one had ordered takeout. Although Ye Zhi felt it was inappropriate, he hesitated for a moment and then went upstairs.
It was his first time at the door of Huo Youqiao’s bedroom. There was a brand-new intelligent cleaning robot in the house, so he didn’t need to do any housework himself, and he was a very disciplined person. Even when living alone in this house, his activities were limited to public areas, and he would never enter other people’s rooms casually.
He didn’t know why, but he was a bit nervous.
Ye Zhi swallowed nervously, hesitated, and finally knocked on the door lightly. His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing the figure of Huo Youqiao.
Upon seeing him, Ye Zhi was stunned.
He had never seen Huo Youqiao like this before.
The Huo Youqiao he had seen, even in the early morning, wore very decent shirts or uniforms, and even his casual wear was very neat. His hair was meticulously groomed, and with his glasses on, his steady image was firmly established. But now, Huo Youqiao’s hair was disheveled, with semi-long bangs hanging on his forehead, making him look several years younger. Although he was wearing a shirt, it was somewhat wrinkled, with the buttons of the collar unbuttoned, revealing four of them undone, exposing his chest muscles, and even a bit of his collarbone could be seen. His expression was no longer calm and composed, but rather a bit restless, with a hint of redness at the corners of his eyes and cheeks.
Their eyes met, and Huo Youqiao didn’t speak, just stared at him. Ye Zhi had intended to ask if he had dinner, but what came out of his mouth was, “Do you have a high fever?”
The scent of pheromones wafted over, ten times stronger than in the living room. Ye Zhi’s face quickly turned crimson, and he dared not look at the other person again, lowering his eyelashes slightly. “Do you need me to get a thermometer for you? If you really have a fever, can you take antipyretics?”
Ye Zhi didn’t understand Huo Youqiao’s sensitive period, he only knew that compared to endurance, sexual intercourse was probably the best “treatment.”
“Yeah, could you please get it for me? Thank you.” Huo Youqiao’s voice was hoarse, lower than usual, and even his tone sounded a bit impatient, as if he couldn’t wait.
“I’ll go get it right away.” Ye Zhi quickly went downstairs to get the medicine kit and brought it back up. Huo Youqiao had already entered the bedroom, and he hesitated for a moment before following him in.
This was the first time he had set foot in this man’s bedroom.
For everyone, the bedroom could be considered a private area, and Ye Zhi felt a bit nervous. His heart was beating lightly, and even though he dared not glance around randomly, his gaze couldn’t help but wander around. Huo Youqiao’s room matched his personality, with all the decorations and furniture simple yet neat, exuding an air of calmness and elegance. His bed was large, with a dark Hui bedsheet. At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling noticeably.
“Brother.” Ye Zhi looked at him with some concern, “You seem to be in a lot of discomfort. Should I call a doctor?”
