Zhong Yu was still holding the small cake that he brought from the cafeteria, which happened to be his favorite snack. He was down to his last piece, and it was a hard-won victory to have scored it.

Hearing Su Shi Jiu's words, Zhong Yu initially wanted to push the door open forcefully, but instead he pulled back his hand and slipped the small cake through the door crack to Su Shi Jiu.

"This is Cici's favorite cafeteria cupcake. Can you pass it on to her for me?" Zhong Yu's hand lingered in the doorway, reluctant to retract it. His eyes constantly darted towards the room, eager to catch a glimpse of Song Ci.

"Okay." Su Shi Jiu took the transparent packaging tote bag and smelled the sweet scent of cake. "You can go back for now. Cici doesn't want to see you."

Zhong Yu was left with disappointment, unable to catch a glimpse of Song Ci, let alone hear his voice. The only thing he could sense outside the door was the lingering sweet and creamy scent of milk pheromones in the room.

At least Song Ciping can rest assured as long as he stays safely in the dormitory.

In the morning, those words were spoken in a moment of anger and confusion, without considering their implications and speaking without thinking.

"Mhm...Then please apologize to him for me and say that this morning...it wasn't intentional."

Su Shi tilted his head slightly and winked at him.

If you have any intentions, I won't even open the door for you!

"Got it, got it," Su Shi Jiu said as he pushed the door, wanting to close the gap. This apartment building was home to all omegas. Having stayed here for so long, Zhong Yu was unaware of how the scent of pheromones could influence unmarked omegas. To be on the safe side, Su Shi Jiu hurriedly asked Zhong Yu to leave.

"Then... I'll go first. If Song Ci has anything, please let me know." Zhong Yu reluctantly let go of his hand leaning against the door frame, his eyes still glancing back into the room.

Just as Zhong Yu was about to turn and walk towards the staircase, Su Shi Jiu suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

As Su Shijiu looked at Zhong Yu's suddenly bright eyes, he found it difficult to speak for a moment.

"Um... did the doctor who went to see the performers for a check-up today leave?"

Upon hearing that it was not about Song Ci, the disappointment on Zhong Yu's face was evident. Nevertheless, he still took a moment to think it over.

"He probably hasn't left yet. There aren't many omegas showcasing today, just him, a doctor. It seems that his last name is Jiang, and he plans to leave after the showcase ends at 11 o'clock noon."

After Zhong Yu finished answering Su Shi's question, he felt a bit strange and asked back, "Why are you asking about him? Do you know him?"

Su Shijiu was satisfied with the answer he received and smiled as he looked at Zhong Yu. "Alright, alright, you can go now."

After saying that, she closed the door, no longer giving Zhong Yu the chance to speak.

Although Song Ci was lying in bed, her ears were perked up, listening to the conversation between two people outside. When she heard Zhong Yu's words about not wanting to leave her even for a single moment, she felt incredibly happy.

"He...has left?"

Hearing the sound of Su Shi's wine shop closing, Song Ci pretended not to know anything and asked him, but in reality, her eyes were fixated on the small cake and couldn't move away.

Su Shi Jiu saw the radiant expression in Song Ci's eyes and threw the cake onto his blanket. Although he didn't show much emotion on his face, his ears turned slightly pink.

"Nagging is a form of affection, but if you leave him hanging for too long, he might actually think that you don't like him and give up," Su Shijiu murmured as he opened his phone and scrolled through it a few times, checking out the upscale restaurants near his school.
