I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming an Omega 08

 

Chapter 8: Meet Me in the Woods

 

He Jiao entered the classroom as the bell rang.

 

As she walked through the door, she glanced in the direction of Ji Yu. She found that he was looking down unconcerned, and, since there was no target for her simmering eyes, she had no choice but to endure her anger and return to her seat.

 

As soon as she sat down, a classmate elbowed her and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Jiao Jiao, what's the situation with your brother?"

 

He Jiao was angry, and snapped back in a bad tone: "What does it have to do with you?"

 

The classmate unexpectedly hit a wall, and was a little embarrass: "Forget it then."

 

He Jiao pursed her lips, very upset.

 

She had told her brother that Ji Yu had ideas about herself, but she didn’t expect that her brother would not believe her at all—because, although two Omegas can fall in love, they can never be together. Both Omegas will go through estrus periods, at which point they will instinctively seek out an Alpha or Beta for pleasure. As such, romantic relationships between Omegas can easily collapse.

 

Besides, Ji Yu did not wash off her brother’s mark. Under such circumstances, he would not fall in love with other people, and so her brother said that Ji Yu was just lying to her.

 

Not only that, but Big Brother also force her to calm down, telling her not to find fault with Ji Yu anymore, and to just stay away from him.

 

But they meet every day, how can she be calm?

 

Moreover, Ji Yu had relied on the 100% pheromone matching to seduce her brother yet again, so how could she calm down?

 

Once upon a time, she was so happy that her brother had finally found a partner.

 

She was so happy that she actively invited Ji Yu to transfer to her class, saying that from now on she would cover for him and share with him all the good things.

 

However, now she hates Ji Yu so much that she even wishes for him to die.

 

After what had happened, he has become a thorn in her eye, a sting in her flesh.

 

Just seeing him makes her very uncomfortable.

 

"Since you hate him so much, why don't you just let him change classes?" Someone who knew about the matter on the forum began asking after class.

 

"That's not what he wanted."

 

He Jiao frowned as she cleans up her desk in an angry manner, "Unless he quits, he doesn't want to change classes. I have to monitor him and not give him any chance to contact my brother. He is really a chicken thief.*  He even managed to run into my brother in the last swimming class. It's so annoying!"

In the corner of the classroom.

 

Ji Yu lowered his eyes and study the college exam practice questions without any distractions.

 

The content of the college entrance exam in this world is the same as that of his original world, and the textbooks are also identical. Even the examination process in Long Cheng city is exactly the same as in his original city.

 

The examination process is comprised of a so-called [3+2 system.]  Students are required to test in three compulsory main courses—one of which includes mathematics, and two elective courses of their own choosing.

 

The original owner had physics and chemistry as part of his main courses, which were the same as those of Ji Yu.

 

The similarities in so many details gave Ji Yu a sense of familiarity and belonging, and, at the same time, confirmed that this might really be a parallel world.

 

So far, he found that except for the name of the city, everything else is the same as his original world. He felt as if he was still in his original world, just with a change of identity.

 

"Bam."

 

Suddenly someone slammed on his table, inches away from Ji Yu.

 

Ji Yu looked blankly at the crooked lines on his draft paper, and slowly raised his head to look at the boy who slapped his desk.

 

The boy, whose name Ji Yu couldn't remember, arched over the desk with a smile: "Ji Yu, are you doing the practice questions? You can actually do these questions?"

 

Then he said, "Still studying after class is over, you sure are working hard. Isn’t the first test next week? Ah? Obviously, you should be holding on to your golden thigh. You should be out there working hard on how to trap that person. Do you really still have time to sit here and do practice problems?"

 

Ji Yu put down his pen, his thoughts were interrupted, and his temper was stirred: "Do I have any grudges with you?"

 

"No, I don't particularly care about you."

 

Ji Yu nodded: "Whether or not you care is in your heart. Also, there’s no need to hog my desk like a pig on cabbage, or do you have some special feelings for the desk?"

 

"You!"

 

The boy stared and stopped smiling. Embarrassed and angry at the mocking gazes of the people around him, he pushed on Ji Yu's desk harder, "What happened if I pushed on your desk?"

 

Before Ji Yu could retort, he heard a "patter" and something fell on the ground.

 

Ji Yu lowered his head and glanced at his mobile phone.

 

Quickly picking it up, he saw that the screen did not break, and the phone could still be turned on. However, as soon as he turned it on, it showed more than a dozen missed calls from the nanny.

 

Seeing as he can’t handles business with the ‘sour-mouth’** hovering in front of his desk, Ji Yu immediately got up and walked out as he dialed back.

 

"Hey, what's the matter? My phone was muted, and I didn't hear your calls."

 

The nanny: "Little Yu Zhou suddenly had a fever at around 8 o'clock. He refused to drink any milk or sleep, and just kept crying. I tried to call you, but you never answer, so I took him to the hospital on my own. Now, we’ve just got home."

 

Ji Yu said nervously, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"

 

"The doctor said that Little Yu Zhou was suffering from pheromone hunger."

 

Ji Yu was confused, but said: "I'll be back soon."

 

After speaking, Ji Yu rushed to the teacher’s office and asked for leave from the head teacher.

 

When he returned to the classroom, he found that his desk had fallen down, books and pens were scattered all over the place, and there was even a footprint on one of the test papers.

 

The culprit was sitting in a desk at the front of the class, and was looking out the windows with an innocent appearance as if he didn’t know a thing.

 

Ji Yu took a deep breath, packed his things hastily, then walked to the front desk and stood still, staring at the boy silently.

 

The boy in the front desk finally noticed Ji Yu staring: "Why are you looking at me?"

 

Ji Yu smiled at him, then suddenly kicked his desk over.

 

Amidst the screams in the class, Ji Yu ran out without looking back.

 

—

 

Ji Yu hurried back home, and ran directly towards the baby's room before he could even catch his breath.

 

In the baby room, the nanny held something like an oxygen cylinder in her left hand, and her right hand pressed the transparent oxygen mask on Little Yu Zhou’s face, as if she was helping Little Yu Zhou breathe. 

 

Little Yu Zhou shrank in the nanny’s arms, not noisy or acting up, though his eyes were red with tears. After seeing Ji Yu, he pitifully stretched out his tiny hands to hug him, while calling out something vaguely.

 

Ji Yu was anxious to check Little Yu Zhou’s situation, so he didn't hear what the child said, and instead said to him: "Dad is here. Dad is here, be good, okay, good."

 

He then asked the nanny, "What are you giving him?"

 

"It's a type of medical pheromone, prescribed by the doctor, which can make Little Yu Zhou feel better."

 

Ji Yu frowned. He hadn't heard of such a thing before, so he said, "Where is his medical record? Let me take a look."

 

Then……

 

Although the world is different, the doctor's notes are the same scribbled mess, and Ji Yu can't understand any of it at all.

 

He closed the medical record booklet and picked up a brand-new bottle of medical pheromones. He could not understand the ingredients behind this medicine, but understood that the purpose of it was mainly to comfort children suffering from pheromone hunger.

 

"What is pheromone hunger?" Ji Yu asked the nanny, "What exactly did the doctor say?" He took out his mobile phone and started to look up ‘pheromone hunger.’

 

Compiling the descriptions from the nanny and the information from Baidu Encyclopedia on the Internet, Ji Yu understood that this illness was similar to "skin hunger." ^3*

 

Like skin hunger, pheromone hunger is also caused by the lack of parental company. The difference is that children with this disease do not need parental touch, but rather they need parental pheromone.

 

Special scent, also known as chemical messaging hormone, is secreted by an individual’s body, and can be detected via the sense of smell. This kind of chemical scent exists in all animals, and is most widely known as "pheromone". ^4*

 

"For example, some children must be covered in their mother's clothes in order to fall asleep." The nanny said, "Because clothes with the mother's scent can give them a sense of security."

 

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the list of unfamiliar terminologies on his phone, "So Little Yu Zhou is feeling insecure? Can I cover him with my clothes?"

 

The nanny shook her head.

 

She looked at Ji Yu and said very tactfully: "What he lacks is your partner’s... uh, that is, the pheromone of his other parent. The doctor diagnosed that Little Yu Zhou has been lacking this pheromone for a long time. He’s supposed to be used to it by now, but was somehow suddenly stimulated by it in the recent period, which led to his illness."

 

Ji Yu looked down and thought for a while, as if thinking of something.

 

He raised his head to look at the nanny, blinked and said: "Yesterday, I was swimming in the same swimming pool as Little Yu Zhou’s mother. Could this be the reason?"

 

The nanny: "..."

 

Only a ghost would believe you!

 

There must have been something more intimate going on in that swimming pool to leave such a strong scent, otherwise, how could it have stimulated Little Yu Zhou?!

 

However, she can't say it straight out. The situation in her employer’s home is obviously very complicated.

 

She nodded softly: "Maybe it is."

 

Ji Yu looked down and thought for a while, and felt that this really was the case.

 

Yesterday, he and He Jiao had swam in the same pool. After returning home to Little Yu Zhou in the evening, the child had suddenly changed from the usual peaceful and quiet appearance into an especially sticky bun that kept holding onto him and refused to let go.

 

Ji Yu suddenly felt enlightened to the problem, but the required solution confounded him yet again.

 

Not to mention the fact that he just swore to He Jiao to stay away from her, even if he were willing to be slap in the face for the sake of Little Yu Zhou, she would definitely not be willing to help.

 

She probably wouldn’t want to see this... child that is a stain on her life.

 

Ji Yu is a little worried.

 

What should he do? Swim class is only once every two weeks, and he can't get in touch with He Jiao at other times. But this is her own child after all, shouldn’t it be okay to ask for some of the clothes that she wears?

 

“Wuwu,” Seeing as how Ji Yu didn’t hold him anymore, Little Yu Zhou waved his arms a little aggrieved.

 

Looking at the oxygen mask that was almost the entire size of the little guy's face, Ji Yu felt very distressed.

 

He walked over, squatted beside Little Yu Zhou, reached out his hand and touched his little guy’s head, "You behave. Dad will find a way to make you well soon, and you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore, ah. Be good."

 

"Yiwu." Little Yu Zhou caught Ji Yu's clothes.

 

Ji Yu squeezed his little fleshy hand, and asked the nanny: "I only need to get a few pieces of his mother's clothes, right?"

 

The nanny nodded: "It's best to let his mother come to hug him and accompany him often."

 

The nanny carefully observes her employer’s face before adding, "But if you just have the clothes, that is still better than the medical pheromones. At least it can make Little Yu Zhou feel more comfortable during this period of time. It’s also possible that the stress reaction will disappear, and his illness will be cured.”

 

With these words from the nanny, how could Ji Yu not give it a try?

 

Not wanting any further delay, Ji Yu hugged Little Yu Zhou and hurried back to school.

 

He doesn't have He Jiao's phone number, but he also can’t just go up and talk to her in public either. This matter cannot be discussed in a place with other people around, and can only be spoken in private.

 

In that case...

 

Ji Yu looked at the small note in his hand, and wrote:

 

[I will wait for you in the woods after school, and you must come before eight o'clock in the evening.]

 

Picking it up and looking at it, he found that it looked like a date.

 

Scratching it out and throwing it away, Ji Yu wrote another one:

 

[I have something to discuss with you, it is related to XYZ. I hope you can come to the woods before 8 o'clock, I will wait for you at the thickest Banyan tree. And also, about what happened this morning, I want to apologize to you.]

 

This time it should be fine. He had intentionally abbreviated the name of Little (Xiao) Yu Zhou, so that even if it is picked up by someone else, it will not reveal anything.

 

Although if she really wants him to drop out...

 

If he has to quit, then just quit, ba. Anyway, he can learn well wherever he goes.

 

Ji Yu folded up the small note, and walked by He Jiao’s desk. When the people around were not paying attention, he used the speed of being single for eighteen years and stuffed the small note into her pencil case right in front of her.

 

He Jiao: "??"

 

At this moment she was stunned, but Ji Yu had already returned to his seat. She looked at him and blinked blankly, then frowned, and looked back at the little note.

 

One minute later.

 

He Jiao: [Picture] Look at this, brother! Ji Yu just gave it to me.

 

He Jiao: I said he was interested in me. If you still don't believe it, he actually asked me to go to the woods after school. Now do you believe me?

 

He Zhou: ...

 

He Jiao: But why did he mention that kid? What does that kid have to do with me?

 

He Zhou: ...

 

He Zhou: I see. Don't go, I will take care of it.
