Don’t Want a Divorce (13)
“Be good, don’t cry.”
Xu Jiao’s face was flushed, even though the effects of the alcohol had long dissipated, anyone looking at her now would suspect she was the more intoxicated one. Her originally clear and calm eyes were now hazy, like the moon hanging in the sky, with a lunar halo spreading across the canvas of the night.
Hazy, yet beautiful.
After speaking, Feng Qingyu got up again, wanting to clearly see Xu Jiao’s current expression, but in her eyes, she saw her own reflection. For a moment…
It was as if this person had turned back into the one who always glued her gaze to her right after they got married.
Until the next moment—
Xu Jiao’s voice, hoarse yet persistent and resolute, spoke: “No.”
The room was already filled with the strong scent of freesia. If these pheromones could materialize into physical form, the entire room would be blooming with clusters of small flowers, their yellow stamens and white edges dotted among the lush green leaves, spreading from the ground, climbing up the walls and the ceiling, filling the world with their fragrance.
At this moment, if it were any other Alpha, upon smelling this scent, their mind would be left with only one thought:
Mark her.
Mark the person who spread pheromones all over the room.
Let this Omega cry, beg, and be left with only the strength to tremble beneath her.
Feng Qingyu was also full of this impulse. The Alpha’s instinct made her involuntarily swallow her saliva, fearing that if she lost control, she would press Xu Jiao down and mark her without any regard.
Fortunately, when she was young, her family worried that both Feng Qingyu and her brother were Alphas and would commit those acts of bullying men and dominating women by relying on their special status. So, they intentionally trained the siblings to resist Omega pheromones, so that in the future, they could avoid instinctual pursuits and choose their lovers rationally.
It was very difficult.
But Feng Qingyu now felt immensely grateful for having undergone such training, so she could give this person full respect and not do anything irreparable because of her instincts.
Hearing Xu Jiao’s refusal, she was about to say something more when she suddenly couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The alcohol, which had already sobered up for the most part, now gave way to the fragile feeling of her susceptibility period, making her feel wronged at the slightest provocation.
Clearly, she was the one in the dominant position, yet at this moment, she asked in a low, nasal tone, “Why did you pinch me?”
Xu Jiao lay there with a faint smile, her head resting on the soft cushion of the headboard. Hearing Feng Qingyu’s ambiguous, almost coquettish complaint, although her body was burning with a fever-like heat, her rationality managed to carve out a difficult path, making her hoarse voice still carry a cold edge.
“Why did I pinch you?”
“Feng Qingyu, do you think I don’t know that an Omega’s heat can also be triggered by an Alpha’s pheromones?” Xu Jiao resolutely refused to believe that it was purely coincidental that she happened to enter her estrus tonight.
This must be influenced by Feng Qingyu’s pheromones.
As the author, she knows that in the ABO setting, Omega and Alpha pheromones can mutually influence each other. When an Omega enters their heat, the pheromones they release can drive an Alpha crazy, and while Alphas do not have such periods, they can use their powerful pheromones to force an Omega into heat if they wish to.
This is called a false heat period.
The difference between true and false is that an Omega’s real heat begins with a wave at the age of eighteen, initially lasting only a day or two, but when it truly arrives, it lasts about a week. In such situations, an Omega without the help of an Alpha can only spend this period in an isolation zone; otherwise, the uncontrolled pheromones will affect others in their life.
As for after reaching adulthood…
The frequency of heat periods varies from person to person, but the common understanding is that an Omega without a partner experiences it less frequently than one with a partner.
Xu Jiao knows from the original owner’s memories that the last heat period of this body was six months ago, so it is impossible for it to appear again so soon. Therefore, the only truth that emerges is—
It’s Feng Qingyu.
The pain from her waist made Feng Qingyu involuntarily lower her head slightly, resting her forehead on Xu Jiao’s shoulder in a very dependent manner, weakly answering:
“I… I didn’t mean to.”
“It is indeed uncontrollable during the susceptible period.”
Xu Jiao listened and laughed, loosening her grip but not letting her go. She just patted her waist and sternly informed, “Move aside, I want to return to my own room.”
Feng Qingyu held onto her, unwilling to let go. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her deeply affectionate eyes were misty as she looked at her, speaking in a tearful, humble voice: “But you clearly promised just now…”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Promised to let me hold you all night.
How can you go back on your word?
Xu Jiao’s face was still a flushed red, and even her neck was hot. Due to Feng Qingyu’s tight embrace, a layer of crystal-clear sweat appeared on her fair swan-like neck, and her delicate, slender collarbones were also covered in this moisture, looking extremely tempting.
But the one enticing did not realize her own allure at this moment. She took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly, “I agreed just now because you promised to behave.”
“Now it is you who broke the rules first, Teacher Feng.”
Feng Qingyu’s fingertips curled slightly, not daring to touch Xu Jiao’s forbidden area at the back of her neck again. Hearing that she wanted to leave, she bit her lower lip and leaned against her neck, not making a sound, only silently shedding tears, occasionally uncontrollably twitching her shoulders slightly.
Xu Jiao: “…”
After a two-second silence, she said, “Don’t move your hands and feet again, do you hear me?”
Feng Qingyu was halfway through crying. Hearing these words, she looked up at her with tear-filled eyes, then broke into a smile through her tears, nodding vigorously. Instinctively, she moved forward to kiss her, but restrained herself under Xu Jiao’s gaze. She could only pitifully press Xu Jiao into her embrace, as if wishing she could merge this person into her own flesh and blood, holding her tightly to sleep.
Finally, the bedside lamp was turned off.
But the movement in the bed did not cease.
“Jiaojiao, you are so hot…”
“It’s none of your business, shut up and sleep. Also, loosen your grip a bit, it’s hard for me to sleep with you holding me so tight.”
“But I want to help you.”
“Feng Qingyu, I remember you weren’t this roguish before?”
“Because before, you weren’t this sweet, nor this fragrant. Haven’t you noticed? Jiaojiao, your pheromones have changed a bit.”
“We are not that close, Miss Feng, Teacher Feng, you don’t need to call me so intimately.”
“How is it intimate? I didn’t even call you my wife.”
“…”
……
Xu Jiao ultimately forgot how she fell asleep. In any case, in the latter part, she was too lazy to deal with the overly energetic Feng Qingyu. After the room had been quiet for a while, she drowsily fell asleep.
This sleep was not peaceful for her. Because of the heat that Feng Qingyu had stirred up earlier, she always unconsciously wanted to move closer to the highly attractive source of pheromones beside her. However, the good physical condition of an Alpha also meant that their body temperature was not low. Two furnaces together was like adding fuel to the fire for Xu Jiao.
So, the whole night, she instinctively leaned towards this person beside her, and when she got too hot, she wanted to move away.
But Feng Qingyu was not as gentle as she appeared on the surface—
If Xu Jiao really didn’t want to, that would be the end of it.
This back-and-forth, coming and going, stirred a fire in her heart. In the haze of sleep, she hugged that source of sweet pheromones like she was holding a heavenly sweet bun and stubbornly refused to let go.
When the two woke up, they were both drenched in sweat.
Clearly, they hadn’t done anything, but their bodies were inevitably covered in each other’s scent. In the bathrobes and on the skirts, amidst the dampness of sweat, the sweet, the bitter, floral, and fruity fragrances intertwined, creating an indescribable ambiguity.
When Xu Jiao opened her eyes, she felt a bit groggy. The quilt was wrapped around her waist, and she had no idea how she slept last night, rolling up the large quilt like a sushi roll.
She frowned and lazily raised her hand to push the quilt away, when suddenly she heard an extremely calm voice from beside the bed:
“Awake?”
Xu Jiao raised her head and saw Feng Qingyu standing at the edge of the bed. She didn’t know when she had woken up, but the smell of alcohol was gone, and she was dressed neatly.
Feng Qingyu wore a light gold dress with ancient style elements, resembling a qipao but more fitted at the waist. Large, flower-like ink patterns bloomed at the hem of her dress, forming layers of ginkgo leaf shapes. The neckline was a small V, making it both sexy and elegant.
Feng Qingyu still had her long, wavy hair, which she had specially combed to one side today. Her usual gentle demeanor was now tinged with a hint of intellectuality. Her eyes were like a calm sea, vast and boundless, as if they could encompass the entire world.

Xu Jiao met her gaze, slowly blinked, and her voice inexplicably carried a hint of fatigue, sounding somewhat weary:
“Are you better now?”
Feng Qingyu was holding a white porcelain cup. Now, meeting Xu Jiao’s gaze, she didn’t know what she thought of, but her eyes avoided to the side and her lips pressed together, yet quickly returned to meet Xu Jiao’s eyes.
Then, she spoke softly, “I’m sorry, it’s just that it’s my susceptible period recently, last night… I lost control.”
Xu Jiao saw her returning to her usual self and let out a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that Feng Qingyu’s susceptible period had passed. She instinctively responded casually, “It’s fine as long as you’re okay.”
Feng Qingyu looked at her, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes. When she saw Xu Jiao preparing to get up from the bed, she hesitated for two seconds but couldn’t help but speak, “But you…”
Xu Jiao sensed the dizziness that made her head spin and the lingering heat. She sat up and looked at the slight redness on her arm, absent-mindedly responding to her, “Hmm? I think I have a bit of a fever?”
Feng Qingyu took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.
“It’s not a fever.”
She said, “You have entered the mating heat period, not a pseudo one, but a real one.”
Xu Jiao sat on the bed, looked up at her for two seconds, then seemed to think of something and immediately said, “No way… I still have a scene to shoot today.”
She absolutely cannot be quarantined in the hotel for a week at this time; it would greatly affect the filming schedule of the crew.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiao immediately asked Feng Qingyu, “Can I trouble you to go to my assistant and ask her to get me a bottle of suppressant?”
Feng Qingyu stood still, only hesitantly looking at her.
Xu Jiao self-assessed, “I don’t have any major issues, but I can’t affect the other members of the crew. I can only make do with a suppressant for now.”
After saying this, she got up and intended to walk towards the bathroom, but as soon as she stood up, she swayed. It was Feng Qingyu who raised her hand to support her.
After helping Xu Jiao stand steadily, Feng Qingyu did not immediately agree to her request. Instead, she handed over the cup in her other hand, “Drink some water first. You sweated too much last night, I’m afraid you might be dehydrated.”
Xu Jiao turned her head to look at her, and the arm that Feng Qingyu was holding could clearly feel the slight coolness of her palm. Last night, she had felt like a little furnace, but now her temperature was lower than Xu Jiao’s… showing just how high Xu Jiao’s own body temperature had become.
She raised her hand to take the cup, said a word of thanks, and lowered her head to drink the water.
Feng Qingyu watched her obediently drink the water with her eyelashes downcast, and recalled how bossy and fierce Xu Jiao had been with her in bed last night. For a moment, she didn’t know which version of Xu Jiao was the real one.
After Xu Jiao finished drinking the water and prepared to walk towards the bathroom, Feng Qingyu followed her worriedly, “You’re not planning to take a cold shower, are you? Taking a cold shower at a time like this won’t lower your body temperature and will easily cause you to catch a cold and get a fever. Then you’ll have to be sent to the hospital.”
Xu Jiao’s thoughts were exposed, and she turned back to look at her while holding onto the door, “Then do you have any better suggestions? Something that can lower my body temperature and suppress my chaotic pheromones.”
Feng Qingyu stared at her blankly, and after two seconds, she asked, “Do you really not know, or are you waiting for me to say it?”
Xu Jiao: “?”
Feng Qingyu seriously stared into her eyes, and while maintaining eye contact, she revealed the solution, “A temporary mark, which can help you suppress this heat episode the fastest, won’t affect your work, and in just over a month, you can metabolize my pheromones through your metabolism.”
Xu Jiao belatedly realized—
Yes.
It’s all because she wrote a double-A setting, so she always forgets the traditional setting between A and O.
Of course, the main reason is that she never intended to have anything happen with Feng Qingyu, so naturally, her sense of immersion in their relationship is not deep.
The thought flashed through her mind, but Xu Jiao scrutinized Feng Qingyu, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. She asked, “You didn’t plan this all morning, did you?”
Feng Qingyu honestly answered her, “I intended to do this, provided you agree to my suggestion. If you don’t, I won’t touch you.”
Xu Jiao raised an eyebrow.
She asked the system in her mind, “Quickly search for me in the ABO world, is there any other way for me to get through this?”
System: “Sorry, the fastest and most effective method currently is to find an Alpha to temporarily mark you.”
……

A few minutes later.
Amidst the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, inside the steaming small cubicle.
Xu Jiao’s five fingers gripped the metal handle on the glass door until they turned white, then weakly released. Her face pressed against the door, uncontrollable heat continuously sliding down from her eye sockets.
She knew last night that the glands on the back of her neck were very sensitive, but she didn’t know that the pain in this place would also multiply.
Now, just by being lightly bitten by Feng Qingyu, her whole body was trembling to the point of tears, she could hardly imagine how painful it would be to actually bite down.
Feng Qingyu embraced her from behind by the waist, otherwise Xu Jiao would have already fallen to her knees with weak legs. She looked at the faint bite marks on that snow-white neck, because Xu Jiao had trembled too violently just now, she couldn’t bear to bite down. Unconsciously wanting to soothe her, she stroked Xu Jiao’s back and softly said, “Bear with it.”
Xu Jiao nodded and urged her, “Stop dawdling, hurry up, we still have another…”
The word “scene” was not spoken.
She had already lost her voice.
Feng Qingyu’s canine teeth bit into her gland at the back of her neck, indescribable pain instantly swept through her brain like a tidal wave! Her mind went blank, but in the next moment, countless fireworks burst forth, the bitter orange blossom pheromones irrationally surged from the wound, causing her both pain and an indescribable physiological pleasure.
She trembled uncontrollably, her limbs lost all strength, unaware of when she had already been embraced by Feng Qingyu. That person helped her lick away the blood seeping from the back of her neck, then kissed her red lips with that faint iron rust taste, softly coaxing:
“It’s okay, it’s okay…”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, be good, don’t cry.”
That night was a big mistake, she’s just taught her that some tears will get her whatever she wants
