Typhoon Passage [Gb]

Five years ago, Chen Yingyun fell in love at university with Fang Tongzhou, the top student from high school she had thought she'd never have anything to do with.

He was a great student, but had no experience with love. Even after learning that Chen Yingyun was a 4i girl, all he could do was blush and say,

"I'll accept everything about you."

But on a day when a typhoon was passing through, Chen Yingyun still broke up with him.

Right there in a hotel, after they'd slept together, while the flush on the boy's face had yet to fade.

Chen Yingyun said, "Let's break up."

"Why?" Fang Tongzhou's voice caught in a sob as he reached for the hem of Chen Yingyun's clothes with trembling hands.

Afraid she'd give in, Chen Yingyun watched the TV instead of looking at him and delivered a heartless line: "I'm into the type I see on TV now. I like celebrities, you know? I'm not interested in you anymore."

The boy nodded as if he understood and didn't try to stop her.

Five years later, on another typhoon day, Chen Yingyun met a neighbor who wanted to trade supplies.

The neighbor's eyes looked a lot like Fang Tongzhou's, but a mask hid the rest of his face.

Chen Yingyun thought she was imagining things, but she couldn't help trying to find out whether the neighbor was Fang Tongzhou.

She asked his name. The neighbor didn't answer.

She asked what university he'd attended. He still didn't answer.

On the third day of trading supplies, the neighbor didn't come out. Worried something had happened to him, Chen Yingyun decided to go inside.

As it happened, the password to the neighbor's home was her birthday.

And at last, in the dim light, Chen Yingyun saw clearly: it was Fang Tongzhou.

But Fang Tongzhou, delirious with fever, saw Chen Yingyun and said, "I'm a big star now, too. Would you still love me?"

Blurb for upcoming novel For Sale [GB]:

Since she presented as an Alpha at eighteen, Shen Yunzhou has suffered from a peculiar condition: pheromone hyperactivity disorder.

"When you smell pheromones that are too strong, you become irritable and find it hard to control yourself," the doctor tells her.

"Can it be treated?" she asks.

"Yes. You just need the calming effect of pheromones when an episode hits."

Well, that leaves her in a dead end.

But one day, Shen Yunzhou finds a special medicine.

Shen Yunzhou first meets Chen Su when she's on the verge of an episode. Strangely, just being near him makes her feel much better.

It's only when Chen Su calls the police to report her for sexual harassment that she finds out he's not a Beta. He's an Omega whose pheromones have no scent.

When she meets Chen Su again, he's squatting by the roadside with a sign in his arms. It reads:

"Young and strong, willing to work hard. I'll do any job."

"You'll do any job?" Shen Yunzhou reads the words aloud and looks at Chen Su's face. "Why not sell yourself to me, then?"

Chen Su says, "Is this some feudal era? Besides, even though I'm an Omega, I'm sick.

"My pheromones don't have any scent. What would an Alpha want with an Omega who has no pheromones?"

Shen Yunzhou gives a faint smile at Chen Su's bristling expression. "What a coincidence. I'm sick, too."

[Extra Scene]
