"The box office of 'Shanhe Celebration' exceeded one billion RMB, and the investors invited the director, actors, and staff to gather at Xinhua Hotel for a celebratory dinner. As the male lead, Shi Zhen could not be absent. He was repeatedly toasted by the big shots of the investment company. From his debut at the age of eighteen until last year when he won the Golden Deer Award for best actor, he relied not only on his own talent and efforts, but also had close connections in the entertainment industry. Despite his attempt to dodge, he ended up drinking several glasses. The alcohol warmed every part of his body, as the air conditioning in the hall was turned up high. Shi Zhen only wore a thin sweater, which accentuated his fair skin and delicate features. Although he had a good alcohol tolerance, it had been a while since he last drank, so he felt a bit lightheaded. Taking advantage of the bustling atmosphere and with the cover of his manager, Wu Fangyu, he temporarily excused himself to the restroom."
Shizheng plopped down on the toilet seat and felt his face inexplicably burning. He still had Wu Fangyu's hangover medicine concealed in the palm of his hand, which she had secretly slipped to him just moments ago. Thankfully, Wu Fangyu had a much higher alcohol tolerance than him, so he wasn't worried about anyone coming to find him anytime soon. Shizheng let out a sigh of relief, opened the acrylic medicine box, and poured out two tiny pills, swallowing them directly.
Because the movie was a huge success and his popularity soared, there were several contracts from different works that approached him. There were also various endorsements and variety shows, keeping Wu Fangyu extremely busy. He hadn't been sleeping well these past few days. Shi Zheng closed his eyes and thought about giving Wu Fangyu a short break. Just as he stood up, he felt a tightness in his chest and the urge to vomit. He immediately opened the toilet lid and after a few dry heaves, the pills, along with stomach acid and alcohol, were all vomited into the toilet.
Shizheng was dripping with sweat, as if the whole person was soaked in a sauna. Every pore on his body was emitting heat, accompanied by a strange and unfamiliar discomfort. The taste of stomach acid still lingered in his throat. Shizheng wanted to reach for his phone to call his assistant for support. Perhaps he had had too much to drink tonight. But as he reached out, he suddenly remembered that his clothes and pants had no pockets today, so he didn't bring his phone with him. His phone... seemed to be with his assistant, Chu Xiu.
However, he couldn't stay in the restroom for too long. If someone came in, or if the paparazzi sneaked in, it would be embarrassing... Shizheng stared at the door of the cubicle, listening to the footsteps and sound of running water outside. The smell of air freshener and disinfectant in the restroom mixed together, and it wasn't very pleasant. Shizheng pressed a finger against his forehead, tightly closed his eyes, and held his breath as he stood up.
Just as his hand touched the lock, there were two thuds on the door, followed by a deep, magnetic voice inquiring through the thin door, "Is there anyone inside?"
The sound shattered the power that Shi Zheng had carefully amassed, causing it to dissipate like sand. Shi Zheng felt her heart pounding heavily, as if surrounded by a 3D surround sound system. This unfamiliar reaction filled her with fear, causing her to tightly grip the lock buckle.
Ye Jindu returned from his business trip, and before he even had the chance to visit his old man, he was called by a group of friends to Xin Hua Restaurant to celebrate Mu Jiangnian becoming a father. Mu Jiangnian was not very old, but he got married the earliest because he had a childhood sweetheart as his wife. They had known each other since they were young, and getting married seemed like a natural progression. His wife was an Omega from a scholarly family, and she was also good-looking, with charming dimples and eyes that curved like a crescent moon when she smiled. She was just too sweet. Every time Ye Jindu saw the two of them, he felt like he needed to go to the dentist to check if he had any cavities. At the dinner table, he ended up being blackmailed into gifting a car as a meeting gift for their child. Ye Jindu didn't mind since when he had a son in the future, he could get it back double. After drinking too much, he needed to use the restroom urgently. As soon as Ye Jindu stepped out of the private room, he took out a cigarette. The group of alphas he was with had no taboos, but Mu Jiangnian brought his pregnant wife along, and it wouldn't be right for the adults and kids to inhale secondhand smoke together. So, at the banquet, they only drank some alcohol and made jokes. Once he entered the restroom, Ye Jindu smelled an extremely strong odor that hit his nose. Alphas had the most acute senses among everyone, so they were naturally suited to be conquerors. And to accommodate the comfort of alphas, many scented products in public places would have their intensity reduced to avoid complaints from the vast alpha population.
Ye Jindu picked up the fragrance placed on the washbasin and took a look at it, then held it under his nose, only to find that it didn't smell right.
How strange! Where on earth is this overwhelming scent coming from? It seems like some flashy fellow sprayed Omega's perfume and then casually wandered into Alpha's restroom.
Ye Jindu looked around and noticed the only room with a closed door. In that instant, his focus sharpened as he realized there was no immediate danger. He then started to tread lightly towards the partition. Years of professional instincts were not easily overcome, especially as he got closer and the scent grew stronger, luring him in to see what lay beyond.
Just then, a slight sound came from the closed room.
Ye Jindu heard the suppressed gasping inside. That sound would go unnoticed by ordinary people, but years of training in the inspection team had heightened his senses to several times that of an ordinary Alpha.
And this smell, almost confirms that there is a unlucky little o that has gone into heat inside.
In public situations, when an Omega goes into heat, there are generally two methods of handling it. Those who have a guardian, be it their parents or their partner, can seek assistance from them. On the other hand, for those without a guardian, they can contact the nearby emergency medical center for help. They will administer suppressants to the Omega experiencing an unexpected heat.
Ye Jindu doesn't like meddling in other people's business, especially when it comes to an Omega like this who hasn't even grasped the most fundamental knowledge about their own physiology. He glanced at the door and thought to himself that if he waits another ten minutes, this thirsty omega will probably see any man who walks in as a potential mating partner.
The reason why Omega is dangerous in public is because at this time, both their physical and mental states become extremely vulnerable and helpless. Their pheromones can attract those with low control or malicious intentions, leading to violent acts against them. Several decades ago, when medical stations were not yet widespread, there were many single Omega mothers who casually abandoned their newborn children. Fortunately, thanks to the implementation of national laws and social security systems, such situations have been almost completely avoided.
Although Ye Jindu retired and became a mediocre businessman, he used to be a righteous Saint Seiya who upheld justice for the people. He had also benefited from the state's provisions for a few years, so the lingering sense of social responsibility in his heart compelled him to halt his departure and extend a helping hand to the pitiful, vulnerable Omega inside.
So the concerned citizen Mr. Ye politely inquired, "Are you okay? Can you hear me speaking?"
