Chapter 338 The Beautiful Professor's Love and Career 1
Yun Suisi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference hall, his slender fingertips unconsciously stroking the cufflinks of his suit.
The cufflinks gleamed coldly under the light, mirroring his state of mind at that moment.
This was his first time attending the National Gender Equality Symposium. As the youngest professor representative, he should have been excited, but right now, he was filled with indescribable frustration.
The glands at the back of my neck felt faintly hot, as if a small flame was gently dancing under my skin.
Various alpha pheromones permeated the air, intertwining and mixing together. The pungent smell made his stomach churn, and he almost vomited.
He loosened his tie, trying to breathe more easily and alleviate the discomfort.
In the reflection of the glass, he saw his pale face and furrowed brows.
Outside the window, the rain is as fine as silk and continues.
Raindrops slid down the glass like streaks of tears, gathering into tiny streams on the windowsill.
This scene was like a key, clicking open a long-sealed door deep in his memory, making him involuntarily recall that rainy night ten years ago.
At that time, he was still in high school, in the prime of his youth, but because of his alpha identity, he was isolated and ostracized by his classmates.
In that prejudiced campus environment, alphas seemed to be synonymous with arrogance and bullying the weak, but he refused to follow the crowd.
That day after school, he was walking home alone as usual. When he passed through a narrow alley, several alphas jumped out from the shadows and surrounded him.
"I heard you're pretty powerful, even omegas don't seem to care about you." The leading alpha sneered. "Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be suppressed."
Yun Suisi instantly became alert, pressing his back tightly against the corner of the wall, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
Rain dripped continuously from his hair, the icy water droplets hitting his face and quickly soaking his school uniform. The chill seeped into his bones inch by inch through his skin.
He felt as if his glands were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain was unbearable, as if they were about to burst at any moment, and a metallic, bloody taste rose in his throat.
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps approached from afar.
"Bullying classmates is not something to be proud of."
The man's voice was deep and pleasant, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
Yun Suisi slowly raised his head and saw a black umbrella through the misty rain.
Under the umbrella stood a figure wearing a dark trench coat.
A silver lapel pin adorned her collar, gleaming with a cool light in the rainy night, like the brightest star in the night sky.
The man exuded a faint scent of cedar, which lingered around him, gently soothing his nerves that were on the verge of losing control, and leaving a deep imprint on his memory.
"Next, please welcome Attorney Jun Sui to share with us the legislative process of the Second Gender Equality Act."
The host's voice rang out clearly through the microphone in the conference hall, and enthusiastic applause instantly surged forth like a tidal wave.
Yun Suisi suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously turned around, only to see a tall and upright figure steadily walking onto the podium.
The man was dressed in a well-tailored, impeccably styled black suit, his shoulders were straight, and he walked with a steady and confident stride, exuding the composure and elegance unique to those in positions of power.
The moment he raised his head, Yun Suisi's gaze met a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.
In an instant, it felt as if an electric current had struck my entire body.
His glands began to throb uncontrollably, a strange and unprecedented sensation, like being burned by a raging fire, intensely hot.
His pheromones were like a wild horse, overflowing uncontrollably.
At the same time, the other party's pheromones also erupted like a surging wave.
The two alpha pheromones collided violently in the air, and Yun Suisi felt his internal organs churning.
He saw Jun Sui on the stage sway and stagger, so he quickly reached out to steady himself on the edge of the stage.
A fleeting hint of panic flashed in those usually composed eyes, but it quickly returned to its usual calm and composure.
"I'm sorry," Jun Sui's voice remained calm, "please allow me to compose myself."
Unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer, Yun Suisi practically fled the meeting hall.
He ran wildly into the bathroom, his hands trembling as he turned on the tap and splashed the icy water on his burning cheeks.
My reflection in the mirror showed a flushed face, like a ripe tomato, with fine beads of sweat glistening on my forehead under the light.
This feeling is so strange. Logically speaking, alphas should be repulsed by pheromones of the same sex.
But at this moment, his heart was pounding, his mouth was dry, and a strange excitement and anticipation welled up deep inside him.
He heard soft footsteps behind him and instinctively looked up, seeing Jun Sui's familiar figure in the mirror.
Their eyes met in the mirror, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world seemed to consist only of their breathing.
Jun Sui's tie had loosened slightly, revealing his sexy Adam's apple.
His chest rose and fell slightly, clearly indicating that he was trying hard to suppress his physical discomfort.
“Professor Yun,” his voice was slightly hoarse, as if it had been lightly sanded, “have we met somewhere before?”
Yun Suisi turned around, and the close contact made his glands start to burn again.
He took a deep breath and smelled Jun Sui's unique pheromone scent, a blend of cedar and whiskey, rich and sharp, like a cup of hot wine on a cold winter night, making one both want to resist and unable to resist being deeply fascinated.
Jun Sui's gaze fell on Yun Suisi's collar, where a silver lapel pin was pinned, gleaming coldly under the light.
His pupils contracted slightly as memories flooded back.
"That rainy night ten years ago," Jun Sui suddenly spoke, "was it you?"
Yun Suisi suddenly looked up and met Jun Sui's smiling eyes.
Memories flood back like a tide: that rainy night, that black umbrella, that silhouette...
"So it was you." Yun Suisi's voice trembled slightly.
Jun Sui took a step forward, and Yun Suisi subconsciously stepped back, his back hitting the cold tiles with a "thud".
The distance was too close, so close that he could clearly see the slight trembling of Jun Sui's eyelashes and truly feel the other's hot breath gently brushing against his cheek, causing his heart to instantly lose its rhythm.
"interesting,"
Jun chuckled softly, a laugh that seemed to carry a faint electric current.
“I have never met an alpha that has elicited such a strong reaction from me. Ten years ago, and now.”
Yun Suisi felt his heart skip a beat.
He knew Jun Sui was referring to pheromone repulsion, but for some reason, the words sounded ambiguous and alluring to him.
He tried to push the other person away, but his arm felt as heavy as lead, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.
Just then, the bathroom door creaked open, and several attendees walked in, chatting and laughing.
Jun Sui immediately realized what was happening, quickly took a step back, and instantly regained his calm and elegant demeanor.
He raised his hand and straightened his tie, the movement elegant and practiced.
Then he nodded slightly to Yun Suisi, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"I look forward to in-depth exchanges with Professor Yun."
Watching Jun Sui's departing figure, Yun Suisi let out a long breath, feeling as if he had just woken up from a beautiful dream.
He knew that from this moment on, some things had quietly changed and could never go back to the way they were before.
