The Little Bookworm Marked Her Ex-aunt - Chapter 13: The Collar Was Tied Around Her Neck

Chapter 13: The Collar Was Tied Around Her Neck

Ji Shiyi’s words did not make Shu Yue feel much better, but she still nodded and followed by Ji Shiyi’s side.

They passed through the hall and walked toward the right side.

Shu Yue noticed something wrong and reminded, “Miss Ji, the elevator is this way.”

Ji Shiyi glanced at the hand pointing to the left and said, “Okay, let’s take this one first.”

Shu Yue found her words a bit strange but did not understand what she meant.

The receptionist at the elevator entrance froze for a moment upon seeing Ji Shiyi, opened her mouth to say something, but Ji Shiyi shook her head.

Together with a few other waiting guests, the two entered the elevator.

Ji Shiyi took out a room card, swiped it lightly, and pressed the button for the 46th floor.

Ding—

The elevator door opened.

Shu Yue’s heart tightened further with this sound, her mind already thinking about the upcoming procedures, when she saw Ji Shiyi lead her, not entering any room, but bypassing the 46th floor’s public lounge area toward a hidden passage.

Ji Shiyi swiped the card to open the door, held the doorknob with her right hand, and tilted her head to signal Shu Yue to come in.

Shu Yue was confused and puzzled.

Instead of entering a room, they went toward an unknown passage.

Could it really be to cut her kidney?

Shu Yue suddenly felt a pain in the side of her abdomen.

But after following Ji Shiyi up two flights of stairs and seeing her swipe a card to open a door, Shu Yue’s pain successfully shifted from the side of her abdomen to her face.

It turned out Ji Shiyi’s room had its own elevator.

No wonder she said that sentence.

“It’s all the same,” Ji Shiyi noticed Shu Yue’s gaze, “both are elevators, both can reach the destination.”

“Change into slippers?” Ji Shiyi opened the cabinet at the entrance and tilted her head to signal.

Shu Yue had never seen such slippers in a hotel; the ones she had seen before were thin, like paper. These were soft and comfortable, as if stepping on clouds.

She did not look too much and followed Ji Shiyi inside.

“Want some water?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue shook her head, sat on the sofa with her hands resting on her knees, her back straight, and her backpack still hanging on her shoulder.

“I was a bit late going down earlier,” Ji Shiyi explained, “just had a small meeting. Did I keep you waiting long?”

Shu Yue said, “No.”

She actually wanted to ask when Ji Shiyi came down, and if it was early, why didn’t she remind her earlier? But she couldn’t ask. She really didn’t have the habit of chatting idly during work. Except for Chen Mi, who was her friend. Ji Shiyi, to her, was just a stranger.

Seeing Ji Shiyi already walk to the open kitchen area to rinse a wine glass, Shu Yue decided to get straight to the point.

“Miss Ji, when do we start?”

Ji Shiyi shook the water droplets from the wine glass, placed it on the gray marble countertop, looked at Shu Yue, and said, “When you relax a bit.”

Shu Yue said, “Miss Ji, I’m very relaxed now.”

Ji Shiyi slightly raised her eyebrow, didn’t speak, and just let her gaze fall on Shu Yue’s shoulder.

Shu Yue followed her gaze and looked; the backpack straps hung there like a posture corrector.

She quickly took off the backpack.

Ji Shiyi lowered her head and smiled, took out a glass of white wine with lychee flavor, not too strong, very palatable. She poured herself a glass and looked at Shu Yue.

Shu Yue waved her hand, “Miss Ji, I don’t drink, thank you.”

Although she worked as a bartender in the gray domain, Shu Yue didn’t like drinking. She hated the feeling of her brain becoming foggy, which made her feel very insecure.

Ji Shiyi didn’t insist, held the wine glass, and sat on Shu Yue’s right side.

She took a light sip of the wine and asked, “Shall we talk about what’s next?”

Shu Yue immediately sat up straighter, “You speak.”

Ji Shiyi said, “How did Miss Shu do in her basic physiology class?”

Shu Yue answered, “Full marks.”

Ji Shiyi expected as much and continued, “Then you should know marking has many types.”

Shu Yue nodded, which was one reason she was so nervous. Thinking carefully, Ji Shiyi only said to mark her but didn’t say how. They hadn’t discussed this in depth before, and if it was too outrageous, Shu Yue felt she could only be helpless.

“I need a temporary mark,” Ji Shiyi said calmly, her movements crisp, lifting her long hair and turning to let Shu Yue see, “It’s simple, just a bite. You can do it, right?”

Shu Yue hesitated and said, “Theoretically, I can.”

Ji Shiyi was genuinely surprised, “You’ve never temporarily marked anyone?”

Shu Yue shook her head.

Ji Shiyi couldn’t understand, “But didn’t you say you had a girlfriend?”

Shu Yue’s head slightly lowered, “She didn’t like the smell of my pheromones, said it was boring.”

Ji Shiyi couldn’t help but frown a bit.

This stinky cat Shiyi, what kind of alpha did she pick for her? Would the marking process go wrong later?

“So, you’ve never experienced the moment after an omega is marked?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue nodded.

Ji Shiyi’s frown deepened.

Seeing her expression, Shu Yue unzipped her backpack, took out a small remote control, and handed it to Ji Shiyi with both hands.

Ji Shiyi took it, played with it in her hand, and didn’t understand its meaning.

Puzzled, she saw Shu Yue pull open the upright collar of her jacket, revealing a black metal collar tied around the girl’s neck on her gray school-style short-sleeve shirt.

She was stunned for a moment.

Shu Yue explained very naturally.

“Miss Ji, no need to be so surprised, I said my basic physiology class got full marks.”

“After an omega is marked, they release a large amount of pheromones and produce an enticing factor to induce the alpha to continue marking deeper for reproductive purposes. This is determined by biological reproductive instincts.”

“I haven’t experienced that moment, so I can’t be sure of my control, so I thought this would make Miss Ji feel more at ease.”

“I personally suggest Miss Ji try it first,” Shu Yue pushed her glasses and introduced the buttons on the small remote to Ji Shiyi, “I practiced at home; one press is a mild shock, I estimate the shock strength is within 100 hertz.”

“Long press is a high-frequency shock, probably in the kilohertz range, with very low current, a short pulse of less than a millisecond. It won’t harm the body but is enough to make someone clear-headed.”

“Of course, I also prepared some other things.”

Ji Shiyi watched as Shu Yue, like Doraemon, kept pulling various small items from her backpack.

Alpha-specific calming chemical spray.

A pair of silver handcuffs.

An electric shock gun with a muzzle like a black hole.

Ji Shiyi examined each one, finally holding the gun in her palm, skillfully twirling it, and smiled with satisfaction, “Miss Shu, thank you for your thoughtfulness, I think we’ll work well together.”

“Shall I release some pheromones for you to feel? Consider it a warm-up,” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue nodded, sat upright, as if she wasn’t about to face a top-tier omega’s pheromones but a highly demanding exam.

Ji Shiyi tilted her head, gathered her long hair, and lightly tapped the electronic suppression patch behind her.

Her unique scent spread from the woman’s surroundings.

Like a slow winter rain, drizzling gently, not disturbing, yet impossible to ignore.

“How do you feel?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue said, “Miss Ji, your pheromone scent is very special, I think it’s a variable pheromone, different from what I felt last time, it’s lighter now. Few people’s pheromones can be so varied, it’s rare.”

Ji Shiyi laughed, “Shu Yue.”

Shu Yue, “Huh?”

Ji Shiyi, “I’m asking how your body feels right now.”

Shu Yue’s face turned red.

For this embarrassing moment.

“Sorry,” Shu Yue said, “I misunderstood just now.”

“No need to apologize,” Ji Shiyi leaned on the sofa, legs crossed, eyes looking at her, “I got a very serious compliment, an unexpected joy.”

“Now, tell me your feelings.”

Shu Yue learned her lesson this time and didn’t stray off-topic.

“My body feels a bit hot,” Shu Yue tried to sense the changes in her body, “my throat feels a bit dry.”

“Now?” Ji Shiyi’s fingertip tapped again.

The gentle winter rain suddenly poured down, turning into surging snowflakes falling on an endless wilderness. A woody fragrance mixed with this snow appeared, tugging at Shu Yue’s nerves.

She gripped the fabric at her knees tightly.

“Uncomfortable?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue nodded and shook her head, her clean eyes under the glasses showing a confused expression.

She knew her heartbeat was fast, abnormally fast. Some instinctive urge surged and roared in her bl00d, and to suppress it, she had to clench her teeth.

Why did Ji Shiyi’s pheromones affect her so much? She had smelled Meng Zhiyu’s before and didn’t lose control like this.

Sizzle—!

A barely audible sound, a quick vibration.

Shu Yue trembled, her body softened, leaning on the sofa’s cushion beside her, but her expression cleared instantly.

She looked at Ji Shiyi.

The woman held the small remote, her eyes taking in her reaction, calmly saying, “Miss Shu, your introduction was correct, this collar is indeed very useful.”
