Ruan Bai put up a fight against the attraction of the Alpha"s pheromones and came to himself. Standing in the hallway outside the door, he pinched his cheeks hard to calm himself down.

She Yuan"s pheromones had a strong influence on Ruan Bai. The mellow aroma of rum that She Yuan gave off, dizzied Ruan Bai.

Although Ruan Bai knew that She Yuan didn"t mean to release the Alpha"s pheromones to affect him, the result was unavoidable.

Over the years, he always wore the isolation bracelet and took downers every month. He had thought that there was no danger of anything going wrong. But it never entered his mind that he was unable to betray his primordial instinct, no matter how hard he tried.

He had grown up in comfort. After the Omega Protection Act had come into force, he had been allowed to go to school and partic.i.p.ate in social activities. And in the future, he could enter the formal employment. The previous generation of Omegas had lived in fear every day, but Omegas of his generation lived much better than before. It was the result of the continual efforts exerted by Omegas from generation to generation. Ruan Bai cherished the fruits of the hard-won victory.

He didn"t want to be a breeding machine who could only stay at home to wait upon his husband and look after their children. So he studied hard and became a better research worker than most of the contemporary Alphas.

But because of that, he was still single now.

Over the past 26 years, he had not understood how it felt to be in estrus. He didn"t know that the surging desire would drown him at that moment.

Over the years, some of his cla.s.smates and friends were Alphas. He had known some male Alphas and female Alphas, but none of them had ever brought him such a strong feeling of l.u.s.t.

Recalling the moment that he had been dazzled and infatuated just now, Ruan Bai hesitated to enter this Alpha teacher"s house.

Seeing the hesitation on Ruan Bai"s face, She Yuan took an isolation necklace from his pocket and gently held Ruan Bai"s hand, signalling for the young Omega to help him put on the necklace.

"Don"t worry. You are safe with me."

Compared with the isolation bracelet, the isolation necklace was more effective in isolating pheromones. It was somewhat similar to the mandatory isolation, because the isolation bracelet could compulsively stop Alphas from being in heat.

Many Alphas who loved their spouses deeply would prepare an isolation necklace to prevent themselves from hurting their spouses during estrus. More effective isolation necklaces were used to punish the Alpha rapists so that they couldn"t arouse their own s.e.xual desire. It was equal to the physical castration.

As his hand was wrapped in the palm of She Yuan"s hand, Ruan Bai felt every inch of his skin was burning with fever. It was the first time he had realized that being touched by a man would make him shy.

The moment he helped She Yuan put on the isolation necklace, the pheromones around him became thin. Feeling the burning blood in his veins slowly cool down, Ruan Bai took a couple of deep breaths to counter the flush that appeared on his face.

Ruan Bai helped She Yuan walk in, sat him down on the sofa, and then stood beside him, waiting for his next instruction.

With no intention of treating Ruan Bai as an outsider, She Yuan gave orders to Ruan Bai as a matter of course.

"Go to the second room on the left and fetch me the doc.u.ment from my desk. It"s in a yellow folder."

Ruan Bai nodded and strode into the study.

He looked for the doc.u.ment while thinking, "This flat must be Mr. She"s temporary lodging. There seems to be every indication that no one looks after this flat. He hasn"t even prepared slippers for guests."

"Eureka! I"ve found it!"

Ruan Bai was happy that he finally found the yellow folder. Just then, Dave, who couldn"t stand the loneliness, appeared unexpectedly and got under the desk.

"Hi, Dave! Don"t make trouble with me!"

Dave was angry with Ruan Bai because Ruan Bai had given him a lecture in the teaching building. So, he began to create a disturbance when he was sure that he was in a safe environment.

He ran around the desk so as to prevent his master from catching him. But in the next second, his plan was out of control. He knocked his head on the bookshelf before Ruan Bai could catch him.

"No! Oh my G.o.d!"

All the books on the bookshelf fell to the floor. Dave felt a bit light-headed. Realizing that he had brought trouble on his master, he crouched in the corner silently.

Ruan Bai got a guilty conscience and immediately rushed over to pick up the books. When he squatted down, he saw an indigo photo alb.u.m lay open on the floor.

He glanced at the photo and was about to close the photo alb.u.m. However, he was stunned when he found that it was his photo.
