Chapter 53 1/2

Jiang Wanlan: “Feeling hot? Don’t stand by the window; the sun is too strong.”

Jiang Li snapped back to reality and walked around the living room twice, with Jiang Wanlan following him to prevent him from falling. Jiang Li: “Dad, are you working?” Jiang Wanlan: “No work.”

Jiang Li: “Did you take your medicine this morning?”

Jiang Wanlan: “Yes.”

Jiang Li: “Shall I check your glands again?”

Jiang Wanlan couldn’t bring himself to ask about the meeting between his son and Cen Lang, so he opted for acupuncture plus one. It was inconvenient for Jiang Li to bend over, so he sat back, holding the back of the chair, resting his head against it.

Jiang Li: “When was your last sensitive period? Omega’s sensitive period varies based on individual constitution, ranging from one to three months.”

Jiang Li, having experienced two sensitive periods, got pregnant each time, but he wasn’t quite familiar with his own cycle. Jiang Wanlan was caught off guard; he had always used potent suppressants, one or two injections if needed, forcefully suppressing the sensitive period, almost feeling nothing. When was the last time?

“I forgot.”

Jiang Wanlan took the opportunity to lift his head and pick up his phone. “I’ll ask my assistant.”

After a moment, the assistant sent over Jiang Wanlan’s daily schedule. Jiang Li carefully examined it: “Do you only drink coffee in the morning?”

Jiang Wanlan: “Occasionally.”

Jiang Li: “Lunch is often delayed past three o’clock.”

Jiang Wanlan: “Had two consecutive meetings.”

Jiang Li: “Awakening in the middle of the night, sitting until dawn.” Jiang Wanlan: “He only remembers the bad things, not the good ones.” He shouldn’t show his son the things the assistant organizes for the private doctor.

Seeing Jiang Wanlan’s sensitive period schedule and predicting the next one in a week, Jiang Li had given acupuncture twice, so it should come a bit earlier, in three days.

“Next time is in three days; no more suppressants.”

Jiang Wanlan: “Okay.”

Jiang Li reminded: “I’ve customized the drug carrier for you using Land Dad’s pheromones.”

For the upcoming drug launch without a customized carrier, the treatment would be a bit longer.

“You haven’t had contact with Dad for twenty years; the mark should have expired. During this sensitive period, you might need Dad’s pheromones.”

Jiang Li straightforwardly stated: “If you’re not prepared to reconcile with Dad immediately, you should start separating tomorrow; otherwise, it will be even more uncomfortable.”

Jiang Wanlan: “Quite  straightforward. Wasn’t he supposed to ask Jiang Li about his relationship with Cen Lang?

Jiang Wanlan awkwardly brought up their relationship: “Anyway, after the treatment, we can still be friends, right?”

Jiang Li:

Jiang Wanlan didn’t quite believe the reasons Jiang Li gave. When Cen Lang returned from the space force, he also paid attention because, on the verge of losing control, Cen Lang had been dealing with various matters urgently, and discussing a major cooperation with the Jiang family had just been a brief exchange over the phone.

They belonged to two different social circles. How did Jiang Li get to know Cen Lang so quickly? Jiang revealed the truth: “After the treatment, we can’t be friends.”

Just then, the old devil called him. Jiang Li found an excuse: “The teacher is looking for me.” Jiang Wanlan: “Go ahead.”

Jiang Li sat on the sofa, not avoiding his dad. “Hello, teacher.”

The old devil got straight to the point: “I found an interesting pheromone research topic; you can give it a try.” Jiang Li: “I’m interested, but right now, maybe…”

The old devil said, “It’s somewhat related to anthropology; do some preliminary research first; it’s far from entering the lab.” Jiang Li said, “Tell me.”

The old devil: “Open StarNet and check the trending topics.”

Jiang Li followed the instructions, opened it, and saw the top trending topic. His eyes widened slightly.

“Anthropological research reveals that omega during pregnancy can cause alpha impotence.”

From the title, it seemed to be the familiar storytelling style of anthropological professionals.

The researcher confidently claimed that in ancient times, omegas raised their offspring themselves. Alphas, as evolutionary incomplete beings, sought omegas during their sensitive periods, regardless of whether they were pregnant or not.

Examining skeletal fossils, it was observed that omegas had smaller bodies than alphas. Since they couldn’t win physically, there must be other ways to suppress them.

He found that during pregnancy, when omegas tried to resist alpha’s intrusion, a mutated pheromone would be triggered in their bodies, reaching its peak the moment the alpha bit the posterior neck gland.

Alphas biting the gland would immediately suffer from impotence.

Later, as the rationality of alphas increased, the collaborative parenting mode gradually gained omega’s trust, and omega’s pheromones gradually transformed into soothing ones, a regrettable degeneration.

The comments below were also lively.

[Even though it’s another fabricated story, I believe it.]
[I really want to experience making an alpha impotent.]
Seriously, some low-quality alphas are annoying when they go into heat in public! [And omegas are defenseless without suppressants if they’re not pregnant.]
Even married omegas need it… Whenever the old alpha is in heat, he must accompany them to bed. Damn it, I occasionally want to rest too! ]
[If you don’t divorce, just show your love.]
[This alpha feels like being scolded again.]

You talk so much, but where are the examples? I could write a paper too. Are pheromones making ugly omegas impotent? ]

Did you just eat sh*t upstairs? [Your mouth stinks.]

…

There is a saying that research should be open-minded. Jiang Li often reads other people’s papers, even if they seem absurd, to exercise independent thinking. Jiang Li had thought about researching his own pheromones. Even if it’s an individual case, there might be some insights.
