CHAPTER 59

Ye Chengxing gave up being a doctor in this lifetime, but her visit to the hospital didn't decrease at all.

Li Jia's frequency of getting injured or encountering accidents was just too high.

In a daze, Ye Chengxing suddenly realized that this almost didn't differ much from the original plot, even though Li Jia's reasons for coming to the hospital now were different from the original storyline.

Fortunately, despite Li Jia being covered in blood, she didn't actually have any significant injuries except for the palm of her right hand. On the other hand, Lin Xuan and the others had more severe injuries and had already been taken away by the Supervision Bureau..

Ye Chengxing lowered her gaze. Because she carefully examined the timeline based on the sudden thought that had emerged, the more she thought back, the more she felt that the frequency of injuries and accidents matched.

This discovery made her somewhat uneasy, especially since the system hadn't appeared since then, as if something had happened.

But in reality, she had already changed the original plot significantly.

However, even if she changed the plot, new plot points would still emerge. Just like in the original text, Lin Que's nephew was never mentioned, but today he unexpectedly appeared in an unforeseen situation, as if the plot wanted to pull back in that direction.

But no matter how much she changed, it shouldn't lead to a plot where Li Jia completely turns dark.

After all, the "Ye Chengxing" in the original book was the final straw that broke Li Jia, but now she came to this world, and that crucial plot no longer existed. A key plot that would accelerate Li Jia's downfall were missing, so she likely wouldn't follow the original storyline anymore.

With these thoughts, Ye Chengxing's heart settled a little.

As long as Li Jia doesn't follow the path of turning dark like in the original book, then the ultimate death ending shouldn't occur again.

The glass shards were removed, and the injury on the Omega's right hand was quickly treated. However, her body was still in a sorry state, with a lot of blood splattered on her. Ye Chengxing had an assistant bring clean clothes, and the doctor arranged a temporary ward for them.

The blood on her hands was from when she held hands with Li Jia. It was only on her hands, so after cleaning her hands, Ye Chengxing hesitated while looking at Li Jia obediently standing by her side.

Li Jia looked at her and seemed to sense her thoughts. She averted her gaze and spoke softly, "...If Sister is unwilling to help me, then I'll do it myself."

After saying that, as if recalling something, she uncomfortably pursed her lips. "After all, if someone else touches me, I'll feel disgusted."

After speaking, she turned back and met Ye Chengxing's gaze again.

The Omega didn't seem to want to make her uncomfortable and tried to force a smile. "Don't let my words affect you. I can handle it myself. Although I really need you now... as Sister said, we need to maintain distance. I can't rely on you like this all the time. These moments when I need you but you're not there will only increase in the future. I have to gradually get used to it."

She was smiling, but her smile seemed very forced.

Ye Chengxing remembered the words she wished she had said to Li Jia half an hour ago, "As long as you need me, I'll always be here," and her face suddenly became warm.

Because of what had happened before, it was already difficult for Li Jia to trust anyone, and she couldn't waste the trust she had finally mustered after letting her guard down.

The main point was that she couldn't let Li Jia handle it herself. Li Jia never took injuries seriously and would likely make her wounds worse.

However, although she knew this logically, there were still some indescribable feelings in her heart. She had indeed helped Li Jia like this before, but back then and now were different. Even if the situation was somewhat similar, at least she had a clear conscience. But now...

Ye Chengxing stopped her jumbled thoughts. Now was not the time to be awkward.

She coughed lightly and reluctantly agreed, but her voice was somewhat quiet.

Li Jia sighed when she heard Ye Chengxing's response. "It's okay, I know Sister is unwilling. It doesn't matter, don't force yourself."

Ye Chengxing thought that this was a big problem, and she quickly added, "No, no, no, I want to. I really want to."

As she spoke, she picked up the clean clothes prepared for Li Jia and pulled her into the shower room. "There's no time to waste. Let's wash up now."

But even though they entered together, Li Jia still looked lonely.

Ye Chengxing's gaze shifted, and the Omega stood by her side, but didn't look at her.

Good news - the atmosphere between them wasn't ambiguous at all, completely avoiding the overly ambiguous situation she had worried about before.

Bad news - the ambiguity was gone, but... the atmosphere was incredibly stiff.

After a pause, Ye Chengxing rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's change the clothes stained with blood on your body first."

Omega, with fair skin and rosy lips, looked somewhat disheveled with the blood on her, but it added another kind of beauty to her.

Those beautiful eyes, like glass beads, glanced at Ye Chengxing, and then Li Jia lowered her body and averted her gaze. "It's okay, Sister. I just have a wound in the palm of my right hand. The slight pain from the bumps on my left arm doesn't affect me. I can handle it myself."

Ye Chengxing hesitated for a moment and finally responded, "Then I'll turn around first."

She thought she was strange.

When Li Jia asked for her help, she felt uncomfortable, but now that she didn't want her help, she felt even more uneasy.

Li Jia's palm wound was probably still hurting, and it wasn't easy to take off her clothes with one hand. After turning around, Ye Chengxing couldn't see anything, but she could hear Li Jia's occasional suppressed sighs.

After hesitating for two seconds like this, Ye Chengxing couldn't bear it any longer and said, "How about I do it...?"

Li Jia didn't respond, and there was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. After a while, Ye Chengxing heard Li Jia's voice, "Then, Sister, please turn around."

Ye Chengxing made a soft sound of acknowledgment and turned back, her breath pausing.

In the air, a faint peach fragrance seemed to appear out of nowhere.

The Omega took off her school uniform blazer, and the buttons on her shirt underneath were undone, revealing her snow-white waist. As she tried to unbutton further upwards, there were traces of attempted unbuttoning, but she ultimately couldn't undo them.

Ye Chengxing averted her gaze, not lingering on Li Jia's body. She extended her fingertips and quickly undid those buttons. "For the pants, put your hand on my shoulder, and I'll support you... then you can take them off."

Li Jia responded and placed her hand on Ye Chengxing's shoulder.

Ye Chengxing tried to empty her mind, but as Li Jia moved closer, her hair swayed, and Ye Chengxing caught a glimpse of the pheromone barrier patch stuck to the back of the Omega's neck, with several pure white stars drawn on it.

The unbuttoned shirt blurred her silhouette, except for the slight prominence of her collarbone. The shirt slid down on one side, revealing the delicate skin of her shoulder.

Ye Chengxing raised her hand to shield her eyes.

The current atmosphere hadn't completely escaped from the previous stiffness, but an indescribable and different atmosphere had mixed in.

"Sister, I'm done undressing," Li Jia's voice sounded in Ye Chengxing's ears, pulling her thoughts back.

The clothes stained with blood were all taken off and placed aside.

Ye Chengxing turned on the showerhead and carefully washed the areas of Omega's skin that had been touched by blood.

For a while, no one in the bathroom made a sound, only the quiet flow of water and breathing.

Ye Chengxing bit her lip, feeling discomfort in the glands at the back of her neck again.

...Fortunately, they would finish washing soon.

She adjusted her breathing without showing any signs, took out a dry towel, gently wiped Li Jia, and then picked up the prepared clothes nearby.

Apart from the fingertips resting on her shoulder occasionally tugging at her clothes, Li Jia remained quiet throughout, only lightly fluttering her eyelashes at this moment. "Is it done already?"

Ye Chengxing nodded, gesturing for her to raise her arms as she helped her put on and tidy up the clothes.

After everything was done, she still didn't meet Li Jia's gaze and hastily said, "You can go out first, I'll tidy up the bathroom."

But Li Jia didn't move.

Ye Chengxing felt that something was increasingly wrong with her body, her heartbeat accelerating, and her head feeling a bit dizzy.

And her awareness of Li Jia became even more vivid.

The scent of the Omega's pheromones in the air was too faint, and she really wanted... to make those pheromones stronger.

Ye Chengxing dizzily thought that this seemed to be the prelude to her heat cycle.

Although she couldn't determine the exact time when her heat cycle would come, it definitely shouldn't be today, and it shouldn't be now.

Her heat cycle seemed to have come early.

No, if this continues...

Ye Chengxing suddenly remembered that her suppressant seemed to be in her jacket pocket, so she turned around and walked towards the door. "If you want to tidy up your clothes, I'll go out first."

At that moment, Omega suddenly grabbed her arm, sounding concerned. "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

She leaned in from behind, still feeling a bit damp, and her breath was gentle and soft.

Ye Chengxing took a breath, and an inexplicable tingling sensation spread from the point of contact. With Li Jia's proximity, both the physical and mental discomfort she had been feeling eased, but only briefly before becoming even more uncomfortable.

...Why did her heat cycle come early right in front of Li Jia?

It was as if she was blatantly telling the other person that it happened early because of her presence.

She took a breath, trying to make her tone sound calm. "It seems like my heat cycle has come. Xiaoli, you stay here, and I'll go take the suppressant."

Upon hearing this, Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing and applied a bit more force to her grip without changing her expression. "Sister, don't move. I'll go get the suppressant for you."

After saying that, she walked towards the bathroom, and Ye Chengxing felt her thoughts becoming more chaotic. She nodded in response to Li Jia's words, recalling intermittently, "It's also possible... Hmm, it's in the pocket of my jacket..."

Li Jia walked out of the bathroom.

She picked up Ye Chengxing's jacket and indeed found the suppressant in the pocket, specifically designed for Alphas.

Li Jia glanced at the suppressant.

Had she been carrying it with her all this time?

Ye Chengxing waited for a while but didn't hear Li Jia's return.

She shook her head, feeling increasingly hot, and asked reluctantly, "Haven't found it yet?"

"I found it. Wait a moment, Sister. I'm coming." Li Jia took the suppressant and walked back into the bathroom.

Ye Chengxing saw her holding the suppressant and let out a sigh of relief. "You found it. That's good."

Li Jia responded, her voice sounding very understanding. "Let me help you with the suppressant, Sister. Your fingertips are trembling."

Ye Chengxing was about to nod but then shook her head. She met Li Jia's gaze, her breathing erratic due to the sensations brought on by her heat cycle. Her voice, however, remained soft. "You still have injuries on your hand. You couldn't even unbutton them earlier. Let me do it..."

Her tone seemed no different from usual.

But the pheromones that Li Jia sensed as an Alpha were telling a different story.

She looked at Ye Chengxing and lightly licked her lips.

...The pheromones during the heat cycle smelled so alluring.

She used to find Alpha's heat cycle disgusting, but now she realized it really depended on the person. When it happened to Ye Chengxing, she quite enjoyed it.

Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing's outstretched hand and pulled her closer, their breaths almost touching. "I couldn't unbutton earlier, but now I can help you with the suppressant."

Ye Chengxing was momentarily stunned, her slow brain not yet comprehending why Li Jia couldn't unbutton earlier but could now help her with the suppressant. She then felt Omega's fingertips brush against the back of her neck. "Sister, let me move your hair to the side."

Unable to resist, she grabbed Li Jia's wrist to stop her, her Alpha face slightly flushed. Her consciousness was starting to scatter, and a hint of pheromones was released with a simple touch.

Ye Chengxing felt her hair being moved to the side, and after a two-second delay, she responded, "Thank you, Xiaoli."

"Sister, you forgot again. You're not supposed to say thank you," Li Jia sighed upon hearing Ye Chengxing's words, but a smile curved on her lips.

Ye Chengxing pondered with a hazy consciousness, "Ah, I did forget. Let me think... After saying thank you, I'm supposed to hug you, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Jia took out the suppressant from inside and calmly pushed out half of the dosage from the syringe into the sink behind Ye Chengxing, her smile radiant. "Sister, you need to hug me now."

Ye Chengxing gently embraced her, her voice somewhat muffled, "After you give me the suppressant, Xiaoli, please leave and lock me up. Alphas in heat seem to be dangerous..."

She murmured her words.

The suppressant was administered, and a few droplets of blood appeared at the injection site, resembling a petal.

Li Jia lifted her fingertip and brushed it against the small area of skin. As her fingertip stained with a vibrant color, it also absorbed the pheromones of the Alpha's oolong tea fragrance.

Before administering the suppressant, she had already pushed out half of the dosage.

An adequate amount of suppressant would quickly sober a person up, while too little would have no effect. However, a dosage in between would cause the Alpha in heat to enter a semi-drowsy state.

Li Jia lightly licked her fingertip, which had a trace of Alpha pheromones, and then held Ye Chengxing even tighter.

The Alpha's hand was as beautiful as its owner's, with slender and distinct finger bones, pure white like unsoiled artwork.

Ever since she helped clean it just now, she had been filled with emotions.

Now that they had begun, it felt as if sparks were igniting.

The pheromone barrier was partially lifted, and within the bathroom, pheromones intertwined in a seductive dance.

The faint sound of water became clearer with each touch.

She clenched her legs tightly, as if in their most intimate embrace.

Ye Chengxing's pheromones carried a warm and mellow tea fragrance, serene and gentle, but they were her addiction, her deepest desire.

Li Jia turned her gaze to the mirror.

Rose-like hues shimmered at the corners of her eyes, and the Alpha she held was half-drowsy. Due to discomfort during the heat cycle, the Alpha unconsciously and instinctively relied on her, could only rely on her.

After appreciating this scene for a while, she couldn't help but smile, her voice filled with tenderness and sweetness. "Alphas in heat are indeed dangerous..."
