How long are you going to keep acting cool? ABO - Chapter 1

It was a rainy winter day, a gust of cold wind carrying damp air blew in. Even though Shu Qian had put on the thickest clothes at home, her thin body still shivered from the cold. She looked up at the sign that read ‘Public Physiological Health Center,’ a sense of confused and despair washing over her. She hesitated, unable to bring herself to step inside.

However, she couldn’t delay it any longer. Her mature body, after a long period of suppressing her instincts with inhibitors and using forbidden drugs to disguise her gender, had reached a point where the doctor had explicitly stated that if she couldn’t find an Alpha to resolve her physiological needs, her pheromones would gradually lose control.

Losing control would lead to one of two outcomes: either she would be in heat for the entire year, or she would lose her Omega identity.

Losing her Omega identity was secondary; if she were to be in heat for an entire year, that was definitely a consequence Shu Qian was unwilling to bear.

Shu Qian gritted her teeth and stepped into the health center.

After registering at the counter, Shu Qian sat on a chair, waiting for the other party’s confirmation.

She had already registered her data online half a month ago. The state would directly match her with the most suitable single individual  through the database.

The Alphas or Omegas willing to register were almost all single individuals who didn’t want to get married but had issues with physiological imbalances, leaving them with no choice but to rely on the national gene pool for assignment. At least this pairing result wouldn’t change until one of them got married.

So, it’s probably like a government-issued long-term bed partner, Shu Qian thought melancholically.

“Alright, this is your pairing information.” The staff handed her a piece of paper with the Alpha’s details already written on it.

There was no real name, to avoid privacy leaks, so it was displayed with a personal nickname. Shu Qian briefly looked at the other person’s health status and raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw it was a female Alpha. It wasn’t exactly gender discrimination, but female Alphas usually preferred to find male Omegas…

But it’s a female, Shu Qian could at least comfort herself with the thought that a female’s body would be softer…

“Thank you.” After putting away the information, she navigated to a high-end hotel according to the address on the paper. Shu Qian felt a little uneasy when she saw the hotel name, but things had reached this point, and she couldn’t back down. Gathering her courage, she obtained the key from the special counter, went straight up to the 15th floor, found the room according to the card, and swiped it open.

The overwhelming Alpha pheromones almost made Shu Qian’s legs buckle.

“You’ve arrived.” In the dimly lit room, a low, soft female voice spoke. Eyes filled with desire stared at the Omega standing at the door. After a moment, she seemed to accept this absurd yet necessary choice. “He Shen?”

Shu Qian subconsciously stepped into the room. Only after closing the door did she realize what she had done, but she had already blocked her retreat. Hearing the other person call out He Shen, her gradually slowing brain recalled that this was her alias, and she hummed in acknowledgment.

The Alpha had already approached like a cheetah patrolling its territory, allowing Shu Qian to clearly see her face, and then her pupils slightly widened.

Her brain, which was originally drowsy due to the other person’s strong floral pheromones, suddenly became as alert as if she had smelled peppermint oil. How could it be Qi Qing, her direct boss?

She had been matched with her own company’s big boss?

Then her being here now, wasn’t it just coming in for free overtime?

As soon as the existential question of a working person appeared, Shu Qian instantly wanted to go home, but before she could even act, she was already pinned against the wall by the Alpha, whose instincts had been released and whose eyes were bloodshot.

Looking at the Omega who was smaller than her, Qi Qing lowered her head and leaned close to her ear, saying seductively, “Let’s shower first.”

Without waiting for Shu Qian to refuse or answer, she put her arm around her and went straight into the bathroom.

Most people who chose to register for pairing did so to resolve their physiological needs and avoid pheromone imbalance, without the burden of too much emotion. Qi Qing naturally thought the same way.

She just didn’t expect that the Omega who came would satisfy her so much, a very qualified long-term bed partner.

Qualified to the point where she no longer suppressed her desires, and the rich floral scent directly induced heat in the Omega she had just met and hadn’t even exchanged a single word with.
