Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 1

“How are you?”
The young man in front of him lowered his eyes, the fingers that fell on his side became white and he scribbled his head. His thick black eyelashes slightly covered his eyes. He quickly moved towards the half of the glass behind Lian Jue that was marked with “Broken Don’t Push”. He glanced at the door, hurriedly said thank you then quickly disappeared into the gray rain and mist with the help of Lian Jue kindly helped him open the door.
The sound of rain is isolated outside the heavy gate. The rain and fog halo the neon outside the glass door into a vague light and shadow.
When Lian Jue came over, the girl behind the counter stretched her neck and looked out.
“What’s wrong with that man?” he asked casually.
“I don’t know… he looks uncomfortable.” She retracted her gaze. She saw Lian Jue picking up a can of hawthorn pills from the shelf near the cashier and said helplessly, “Mr. Lien, this hawthorn pill might be delicious however this also contains certain pharmaceutical ingredients and cannot be eaten as a snack.”
“I know.” Lian Jue smiled faintly.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it. A lot of messages popped up on WeChat. He clicked on the voice bar and a childish voice came from the phone.
“Are you on your way back? Did you buy hawthorn balls?”
“I took the double-percent test, did the teacher tell you?”
“Auntie said yesterday that she would buy a hand-held pizza for me when I got 00 points in the mid-term exam, but she forgot.”
Lian Jue patiently listened to the trivial words on the other side, held down the voice and said, “Didn’t you have a stomach ache after eating too much dinner? You still want to eat pizza?”

The news from the other side quickly recovered: “…I lied. In fact, I don’t have a stomach ache, I just want to eat hawthorn balls.”
Lian Jue decided not to reply and put the phone back in his pocket.
The girl laughed when she heard this: “Children, it’s normal to tell a little lie. Don’t be angry.”
” I am not angry. If he still doesn’t know right from wrong at this age, it will be very troublesome in the future.” Lian Jue handed her the payment.
She laughed dryly, picked up the jar of hawthorn pills, scanned the code to check out, and chatted with him casually: “Mr. Lian, I remember you seem to make medical equipment?”
“Um.”
“Have you heard of anything about an ‘Omega inhibitor?”
“‘Omega inhibitor?” Lian Jue raised his eyes, “No. What’s wrong?”
“The person that came in just now asked for an ‘Omega inhibitor’.” She took the bag and helped Lian Jue to pack the hawthorn pills. “Is it an imported medicine? The name is strange. Did you ask him what he is treating?
“He did not say…”
“Maybe, he is drunk.” Lian Jue took the bag, “Wholly drunk.”
“Yes?” She frowned and sniffed in the air, “No, I didn’t smell any alcohol.”

When Lian Jue picked up his umbrella and was about to leave, he paused and asked in a warm voice, “Are there any pizza sellers nearby?”
“Yes, go out and go to the right. There is a house across the road, right at the diagonally opposite intersection. But there will probably be a line at this point.”
“Thanks.”
“…Hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.” She looked at the back of the man who had left, smiled helplessly and sighed softly, “It’s a pity he got married early.”
The man held on to the counter with a little pleading in his hoarse voice and repeated: “Can you open a room for me?”
The girl at the front desk of the hotel stared at the man who looked abnormally mental and quickly pushed back the card that the other party had handed over: “Excuse me, I have checked it strictly. However, your ID cannot be read by our machine. You go look elsewhere.”
The man pushed the card back: “But, this is my ID…”
The girl became a little impatient, frowned and said in a bad tone: “But it cannot be recognized. Just leave.”
When the man took the card back and turned away, the girl speechlessly complained to the colleague next to him: “Do you know what is written on his ID card? Sex: Omega! I’m really speechless. It is a fake certificate for sure. He is too foolish to try and trick me.”

Someone next to him lowered his voice and whispered: “That person doesn’t look right, Is he drug-taking? Shall we call the police?”
“Don’t be nosy.”
The fine and soft rain struck his face. The dark water spots on his white shirt spread out and slowly connected into large damp water marks. The damp close-fitting fabric outlined the thin and slender body contours. The clammy clothes aroused goose bumps and there was a chill on the body but there was a feeling of heat wave.

The contradictory body sensation tortured his body and will. He breathed and smelled the pungent scent of wine. The mellow and sweet fruit wine aroma engulfed the fishy tide of rain which made his brain groggy.

The surviving trace of will in his mind warned him that he is an Omega who is in his estrus that should not walk around outside.
The neon lights in the blurred vision were so unrecognizable that he squinted his eyes and struggled to see the express hotel on the opposite side of the road.
The pizza in his hand was indeed very hot and it was still raining outside. The pizza-buying team still lined up from the door to the corner of the intersection.

Lian Jue carried the packed box and walked back. At night, there were a lot of people and parking spaces in the downtown area were hard to find. His car was parked a bit far, he needed to cross a road and walk a short distance forward.
As soon as he approached the intersection, the indicator light changed from green to red. Lian Jue stood on the side of the road with an umbrella staring at the slow-moving cars in front of him.
In the last three seconds before the end of the red light, Lian Jue was slightly distracted and after a glimpse of a man staggering towards the road. At the same time, several cars hurriedly took advantage of this gap to rush over the zebra crossing.

Before Lian Jue had time to speak, his body moved before his reason and before he could fully recover, he had already subconsciously reached out and caught the person who was almost breaking into the traffic.
The car passing by was obviously frightened. The driver stepped on the brakes, lowered the window and shouted at the man in a panic, “Don’t you have eyes?!”
The pizza was overturned on the ground and the cheese-drawing shrimp rolled twice on the side of the wet road. The rich aroma of fruity wine permeated from the person in his arms.
It’s him.
Lian Jue’s gaze moved from the small mole on the tip of his ear that was so red that it could bleed.He looked at the white and eye-catching forearm under his cuff, only to realize that there was a fine layer of goose bumps on his arm.
Lian Jue righted him, the man’s shaky body was so thin that he could melt him with more rain but his hands were not weak.
“What happened to you?
A low voice sounded on the top of the man’s hair and the unfamiliar but familiar woody fragrance gently enveloped him.

It’s the Alpha just now.
He doesn’t know why the other party’s pheromone can’t comfort him, maybe the other party’s pheromone is too restrained or the match between the two people is too low-but his legs are too soft to hold up.

The man raised his moist water eyes. The tail of the slender willow leaves was smeared with thin crimson, his arm holding Alpha was like holding a life-saving straw and his voice trembling.

“…Please, help me.”
