Chapter 1 SJC
"A classic case of dual parental pheromone deficiency."
After thoroughly reviewing the examination report in his hand, the doctor reached a less-than-ideal conclusion: "The baby hasn't sensed parental pheromones for too long, which is why he has a fever, is irritable, and keeps crying."
He adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and repeatedly studied the nearly identical faces of the two people before him, one adult and one child.
Hesitantly, he asked, "Why would there be a lack of parental pheromones? Isn't this child yours?"
Shen Jinian's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened instantly. The doctor's words struck him like a bolt of lightning, making his temples throb. He almost wanted to pull out his ID card to prove himself: "I'm an Alpha; and I was born without that talent."
"Is there a possibility that your omega..."
"Uncle," Shen Jinian quickly interrupted the doctor's slander against his innocence, "I've always been a model of clean living. I really found this child on the street, I swear."
It couldn't be truer.
Just as Shen Jinian finished speaking, the clinic door was violently pushed open with a bang. Several uniformed police officers entered, each with a serious and righteous demeanor.
The officer leading the group surveyed the room and asked sternly, "Who reported finding an abandoned baby?"
Shen Jinian raised his hand from the crowd: "Me, I called the police."
As he spoke, he quickly held up the little baby in his arms, who was secretly sobbing while chewing on his fingers, "Officer, this is the abandoned baby I found."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and several intense gazes fell upon Shen Jinian.
The air pressure in the room suddenly dropped.
The police officers looked at Shen Jinian, then at the baby in his arms, who was clinging tightly to his clothes.
The two people can't be said to be carved from the same mold, but they looked at least 70% alike.
Their relationship was self-evident.
…
Everyone's facial expressions relaxed in unison, but the police still tried to maintain a stern facade, frowning as they reprimanded Shen Jinian.
"Young man, wasting police resources like this will result in a public reprimand next time!"
"I didn't!" Shen Jinian stood up abruptly, he grabbed the baby under his armpits and lifted him high in front of the police. "He really is an unwanted child."
"Pa... Papa..." The little one seemed to understand Shen Jinian's harsh words and burst into tears instantly. It struggled to get back into Shen Jinian's arms, and looked like he was seeking comfort from his dad.
Shen Jinian: "..."
"Look, the child even knows to call you 'Papa'." The police officer patted Shen Jinian's shoulder with a smile, and kindly advised, "Even if you and your spouse are having issues, don't think about abandoning the child."
?
Shen Jinian's handsome face almost twisted into a bitter gourd: "I haven't even graduated from college, and I'm not married. This really isn't my child."
Police officer: "Don't worry, as long as you promptly get your marriage certificate and birth certificate, the law won't punish you."
Shen Jinian: "..."
Good explanation, but please don't explain anymore.
He couldn't explain himself even with a hundred mouths.
Shen Jinian wanted to argue further, "This really isn't my..."
But he was interrupted. The police officer almost commanded him, "If there's nothing else, take the child home early. Don't worry your family."
"But officer, I..."
"Alright, no family conflict can't be resolved. Take the child home after the checkup. He's still young and needs his mother."
After counseling Shen Jinian, the officers quickly left, claiming they were busy and had no time to play house with him.
Shen Jinian was left alone in the clinic, holding the little burden he couldn't get rid of, feeling utterly disheveled.
The doctor looked as if he had expected this all along.
While he was mumbling something like, "Oh dear, oh dear," he quickly typed on the computer to prescribe medication: "Pheromone deficiency usually can't be treated with medicine. Just give the child more parental pheromones. I'll prescribe some nutritional supplements. Give them to the baby once a day at home."
Shen Jinian resigned himself to his fate: "Prescribe them. Give me the most expensive and best ones."
Anyway, every penny he spent on this little troublemaker would be repaid a thousandfold by his real father.
Since no one would help him find the father, he would find him himself.
Shen Jinian paid for the medication and left the hospital, feeling indignant. He carried the soft, chubby cub under his arm like a kitten, feeling very annoyed.
He hailed a taxi and went straight to his rented apartment.
The baby seemed to know that Shen Jinnian disliked him. He hiccuped all the way and curled up in Shen Jinnian's arms. His soft little hands grasped the corner of his clothes from beginning to end and did not let go. His beautiful big watery eyes stared at Shen Jinnian all the time.
As if afraid that the other party would disappear again if he blinked.
Shen Jinnian had no choice but to open the door while holding onto the clingy child.
Fortunately, he had rented his own place for school. Otherwise, if he had brought home a random kid out of nowhere, his parents would have beaten him to death before he even reached 20.
After carrying the child into the bedroom and placing him on the bed, the baby seemed to catch the scent of his pheromones. The baby wriggled his way over to Shen Jinnian’s pillow and hugged it with both arms and legs like a tiny sloth, as it absorbed his remaining pheromones.
Like a traveler stranded in the desert who had finally found an oasis.
“You don’t actually like my pheromones, do you?”
The baby rubbed his chubby little face with joy, and the corners of his eyes were red from crying, it looked pitiful and cute: "Woya~"
Shen Jinnian was shocked. The biology book said that young cubs are only sensitive to their parents' pheromones, so how could it like to smell his pheromones now?
He lifted his arm and sniffed himself.
Strawberry ice cream.
Case solved.
No human cub could resist that scent.
Shen Jinian watched the baby happily rubbing the pillow and turned to find a drink in the refrigerator.
The moment he took a step out of the bedroom, a loud air raid siren sounded in his ears.
The cub cried and stumbled to the edge of bed with difficulty, and was about to get out of bed to chase him.
Shen Jinnian hadn’t expected the baby to be so clingy. Frustrated, he gathered up his stuffed toys, bedsheets, and even his worn clothes to make a nest for the child.
Seeing the cub giggling with his toys, Shen Jinian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the opportunity to call for backup.
Fifteen minutes later, his buddy Chen Han arrived quickly.
Shen Jinian had said he had an urgent matter to discuss, but when Chen Han entered, he found Shen Jinian lifelessly sprawled on the sofa.
He was immediately annoyed: "Alright, what’s this hundred-thousand-dollar crisis?"
Shen Jinian, like a drained corpse, pointed to his bedroom: "In there."
Chen Han, full of doubt, bypassed Shen Jinian and pushed open the door.
As soon as he saw the mess of clothes and toys in the room, he blurted out: "Your house was robbed?"
Shen Jinnian said weakly: "I guess so."
Those who commit fraud are also thieves.
He then parted the layers of tangled clothes and pulled out a chubby little baby: "You’re free this afternoon, right? Watch him for me.”
After seeing the child's appearance, Chen Han was so scared that his legs trembled and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
He swallowed his saliva and shifted his gaze from the baby's face to Shen Jinnian's face, and advised earnestly: "Jinnian, even if Gu Yan is your mortal enemy and always suppresses you and makes you unhappy, you shouldn’t kidnap his son!"
"The child is innocent! Jinian!"
Shen Jinian: "?"
