[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Even if Xie Jichuan was completely unfamiliar with Omega suppressants, he should now know that ordinary suppressants don't actually stimulate glands.

Whether it's an Alpha or an Omega, glands are the most vulnerable and sensitive part of the body.

The pain of having a needle inserted is no less than that of having a needle inserted directly into the brain.

The needle pierces the skin, passes through glandular tissue, and injects the drug into the area with the densest nerves.

Just thinking about it made Xie Jichuan's hands start trembling again.

The syringe trembled slightly at his fingertips, the transparent liquid sloshing within the tube, refracting tiny fragments of light.

His voice was hoarse: "Has it always been... stuck here?"

Li Zhi tilted her head, revealing half of her face from under the pillow. The redness on her cheeks and the pillow marks left by the pillow made her look both pitiful and adorable.

He explained in a breathy voice, "For advanced differentiation, only artificial pheromones can be used. Inhibitors are useless, and injecting other places won't work either."

After saying that, he buried his face back down, exposing the glands on the back of his neck to the air once again.

The swollen, red skin gleamed abnormally under the light, bulging as if it might burst at any moment.

His voice came from under the pillow, muffled, with a heartbreakingly feigned nonchalance:

"Let's begin, I'm used to it...it doesn't hurt."

After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.

More than ten seconds passed, and the people behind him did not make any move.

Kuriji felt something was off when he suddenly felt a warm liquid drip onto the back of his neck.

One drop, two drops, slowly sliding down the contours of the swollen, red gland.

It seeped into the pillow, leaving a small, dark, damp stain.

Li Zhi turned around in surprise.

The tall Alpha was kneeling in front of his bed, his back straight, but his shoulders were trembling slightly.

His eyes were bloodshot, and tears welled up silently from his eyes, one after another, dripping down his cold, hard jaw.

He didn't say a word, just knelt there, letting his tears flow freely.

Li Zhi was speechless.

He mustered his strength and slowly rolled over from his prone position, sitting up halfway against the headboard.

Every movement stirred a surge of heat and aches within him, but he ignored it:

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

That usually composed face now appeared vulnerable and disheveled from silent weeping.

Xie Jichuan shook his head, his Adam's apple bobbing again.

He didn't know why tears started flowing.

Just thinking about how Li Zhi has been alone for the past two years, going through so many heat cycles, and how she has to suffer like this every time.

His heart ached terribly, as if it were being squeezed tightly, bit by bit, until it felt like it was about to break.

Li Zhi leaned against the headboard and quietly watched Xie Jichuan for a while.

Looking into those red eyes and watching the unstoppable tears, a soft spot in his heart was gently touched.

Omega smiled gently, her eyes crinkling with a soft, comforting smile.

He reached for the small key on the bedside table, and, forcing his limp body, leaned on Xie Jichuan's shoulder.

His fingers found the clasp of the collar around Alpha's neck, he inserted the key and turned it gently, and the collar was removed and placed aside.

Li Zhi touched Xie Jichuan's wrist again and unfastened the suppression bracelet.

With the two layers of inhibition gone, the Alpha's pheromones were like a flood bursting its banks, the flavor of peppermint liqueur so intense it almost solidified.

The heavy weight pressed down, mingling with the pervasive sweet aroma of lychees in the air, like two rivers finally converging.

Li Zhi rested her forehead on Alpha's shoulder and lowered her head slightly.

He brushed aside the stray hairs at the back of his neck with his fingers, fully exposing the swollen, red gland.

His voice was soft, but every word fell clearly into Xie Jichuan's ears:

"Xie Jichuan, if you feel sorry for me, then bite me."

After saying that, Li Zhi belatedly felt a sense of uncertainty and fear.

After all, the two parted ways two years after he said those words last time.

He suddenly panicked and instinctively shrank back.

A large, burning hot hand pressed down on the back of his head.

Alpha's voice came from above, low and hoarse, with a nasal tone from crying.

The sound was transmitted through the vibrating chest:

"Can... I do it?"

His tone was filled with barely suppressed heartache and pity.

Li Zhi's nose suddenly felt sore.

He felt a pang of tenderness when he saw Xie Jichuan crying, but he didn't want Xie Jichuan to cry.

He had seen Xie Jichuan in many different ways, but he had never seen him cry.

But now that he's seen it, he's also in pain.

This person's tears were for him, each drop burning hot as it fell onto his heart.

Li Zhi gave a soft "hmm".

As soon as he finished speaking, he was forcefully pulled into an embrace.

Something that didn't belong to his body was infiltrating his every bone and blood in an irresistible manner.

Like a plump lychee, infused with cool liquor.

The two scents in the room began to blend together, becoming a unified aroma.

It tastes like Kurichi, and it also tastes like Sakae Jakuchi.

Lychee mint liqueur, for two.
