Transmigration Diary 15
Hallway outside.
Charlotte blinked, light tone to Su Yan: “How was it today with Wen Shiyu? Go smoothly?”
Su Yan thought she meant perfume progress.
“Formula chosen. One or two months—we should have perfume for Cefalina.”
Charlotte nodded, smile unchanged. “Great. You two work hard.”
She stressed “you two.”
Su Yan found it odd—could not read her—simple “Mm.”
In the bedroom Cefalina had closed her eyes—arms slowly around Wen Shiyu’s neck—even leaned back unconsciously, pulling Wen Shiyu in.
Wen Shiyu deepened the kiss—ears out for the door.
Distracted—she realized the kiss had changed flavor.
Not really just passing pheromones anymore……
Cefalina pressed close—knee brushing unconsciously……
Wen Shiyu’s face heated—in a breath gap she whispered to the humming girl in her arms:
“Shh…… quiet……”
Cefalina’s eyes rimmed red—stubborn: “……I’m not.”
“Okay okay……”
Wen Shiyu indulged her—listened outside—no one back yet.
Tried again: “Still…… need more?”
Cefalina would not answer clear—eyes closed again—lashes trembling.
Wen Shiyu bent down.
They kissed secretly silent on the sofa—half her mind on the door.
Faint footsteps.
Heart jolt—hand over Cefalina’s mouth and nose—kiss broken.
“Mm……” Cefalina dizzy—sudden rough cover—heart raced, body soft, head spun—no strength to fight.
Wen Shiyu listened—sound faded.
Relief—turned back—Cefalina’s watery eyes—and fluffy rabbit ears quietly out again.
Wen Shiyu flushed red. “Cefalina—you again—”
If Su Yan or Charlotte saw—how to explain?
Cefalina came back—grabbed her ears, face scarlet. Mind screaming: hate it. Go away, go away!
Right then the living room door opened—Su Yan with a tray, bowl of hot porridge.
She saw Wen Shiyu half-holding Cefalina—Cefalina curled in the blanket, head hidden.
Su Yan raised a brow: “What’s wrong?”
Wen Shiyu: “Nothing. Blanket helps her rest—and…… smell pheromones better……”
Calm outside—in the last second she had yanked the blanket. Heart still hammering.
Cefalina cooperated—hid in Wen Shiyu’s arms, blanket tight.
Su Yan doubtful—eyes between them—set tray, stepped closer.
“Let her eat—warm the stomach—she’ll feel better.”
Reached to lift the thin blanket.
Wen Shiyu clutched blanket—looked up at Su Yan—awkward laugh: “Ha ha porridge smells great—can I eat? I’m hungry—”
Su Yan blank. “……There’s plenty.”
“I didn’t mean you can’t.”
From under the blanket Cefalina: “Su Yan. Go out first…… I don’t want to eat.”
Su Yan frowned: “That bad?…… Call the doctor.”
“No.” Cefalina refused at once. “I just…… need to rest a bit.”
Su Yan not reassured—curling Cefalina, awkward Wen Shiyu—brow tighter.
“No—doctor. Wait.” She left fast.
Door shut—Cefalina peeked from blanket edge—still red.
“What do we do?” Wen Shiyu whispered.
Cefalina did not want anyone seeing this—basically what showed up during sex. Why did she…… always……
Too shameful.
Bit lip—whisper to Wen Shiyu: “You…… pinch me.”
“Huh?” Wen Shiyu did not get it.
“Pinch me—hard!” Pain might work.
Wen Shiyu misunderstood—thought “pinch ears”—looked at fluffy pale-gold ears.
Could pinching make them go away?
Living room door again—Charlotte.
Cefalina dove back under the blanket.
Charlotte sat on a single sofa—asked after Cefalina—then turned to Wen Shiyu.
“How was the lab with Su Yan today? She crammed pheromone collection knowledge. She did well collecting for you, right?”
Wen Shiyu puzzled at the question—but nodded. “Mm…… yeah.”
Charlotte’s gold eyes flashed—bad-cat smile. “Say two Alphas close—do you feel each other’s pheromones repel?
Though there are Alphas who attract—even fall in love.
So…… brains are strange—Alphas can learn to get excited by certain Alpha scents.”
Wen Shiyu more lost—Charlotte knew she was Beta?
Under the blanket Cefalina gripped her hard—Wen Shiyu thought hurry and pinch.
In panic her hand found the small rabbit tail in the blanket.
And pinched—
“—!” Cefalina’s eyes blew wide. Face red.
Idiot! Big idiot! Not there—that’s not what I meant!
She dared not speak or move—hand over mouth—collapsed on Wen Shiyu while Wen Shiyu chatted absently with Charlotte and under the blanket still……
Cefalina shame and panic—screaming inside for her to stop. Wen Shiyu thought not hard enough……
After a long while Wen Shiyu felt wrong texture at her fingertips.
Near the fluffy tail…… seemed…… damp?
Brain slow—blank seconds—then what it might mean.
Wen Shiyu’s cheeks burned—frozen.
Charlotte: “Wen Shiyu?”
Wen Shiyu startled. “Hm?”
Charlotte soft: “Why so red? Thinking about…… Su Yan?”
Wen Shiyu: “Huh?”
Cefalina under blanket: “??”
Knock—doctor outside.
Charlotte smiled standing. “Doctor’s here—I’ll step out.”
Door shut—Wen Shiyu and Cefalina peeking out stared at each other.
Cefalina red—about to cry—shame and rage—hit her.
“I hate you! Hate you. Get out! You’re a big idiot!”
Shoved Wen Shiyu off the sofa—wrapped blanket head to toe—ball—would not show face.
Wen Shiyu wanted to explain—doctor entered—swallowed words, stood aside awkward.
Hallway alone Wen Shiyu fists tight—cheeks still hot.
She really thought it was just the rabbit tail!
Had not thought—tail pressed tight—basically touching…… Cefalina’s rear.
What a mess!
Hands over face—ears burning.
Doctor in bedroom with Cefalina.
Out shortly—no major issue—quiet rest, no disturbance.
Wen Shiyu guessed Cefalina was truly angry—did not want her now.
Doctor plus Su Yan and Charlotte—staying would worsen things—she would leave.
Surprisingly Su Yan came out with her.
Not staying with Cefalina?
Su Yan’s main “task” was supervising her and Cefalina.
If she left Su Yan need not linger.
Silent walk. Su Yan spoke. “The necklace…… gone again?”
“Ah.” Wen Shiyu touched her neck helpless.
“Cefalina found it…… didn’t like the new one—took it off.”
Su Yan remembered the car collar trouble—awkward too.
“Okay……”
Other side, room.
Cefalina covered her face. Rabbit ears drooped soft—however she willed “vanish” they stayed—announcing inner unrest.
What now?
She did need Wen Shiyu’s “pheromones” more.
Wen Shiyu had just left—already wanted her back.
And her body kept……
