Villain Alpha is Pregnant

The waiters in the private room began serving the dishes.

A strange odor permeated the air, accompanied by ink-green balls of unknown origin and black tentacles. The soup had floating hairy leaves, while the only normal dish was the boiled broccoli, although it had been boiled to the point where each floret had disintegrated into a mushy paste, sticking to the plate.

Zhou Wenjia said enthusiastically, “Come on, dig in! This dish is prepared using ancient cooking techniques, combined with the scientific nutrition pairing of top-notch chefs. The taste is absolutely extraordinary!”

Although Si Huaixi believed he had experienced enough in the post-apocalyptic world to be immune to fear, this dish before him genuinely made him question if it was some kind of supernatural creature disguising itself to deceive humans, launching a psychological attack on their sanity.

However, his original memories reminded him that this was indeed a dish from the interstellar era of peace, and it was quite expensive, not something an average person could afford to eat.

But, there was a reason for its high price.

The ancient cooking methods had been lost, and in the interstellar era, humans adopted a fast and efficient method of consuming food. They mixed various nutrients needed by the human body together to create a nutritional supplement, ensuring ample energy and balanced nutrition.

Interstellar people generally believed that the more diverse the ingredients were, the more balanced the nutrition would be, resulting in a wide variety of synthetic foods on the market with peculiar tastes.

Nowadays, each dish in these high-end restaurants was an original creation by the chefs, who imaginatively combined different ingredients using ancient cooking techniques. Those with groundbreaking ideas could even apply for patents, and other chefs had to pay a certain patent fee to cook and sell their dishes.

That being said…

Si Huaixi stared at the dishes on the table with the intensity of facing a formidable enemy. The chopsticks in his hand made a clattering sound, and they were on the verge of snapping with a little more force.

Could it be that if the chopsticks broke, he wouldn’t have to eat?

Si Huaixi pondered this question seriously.

Suddenly!

A pair of chopsticks picked up one of the ink-green balls with the strange odor and placed it in Si Huaixi’s bowl.

Instantly, Si Huaixi’s eyes widened.

He looked up at the owner of the chopsticks, Pei Zhaozhou, who appeared slightly nervous, and introduced, “The taste here is good. Give it a try.”

He quickly added, “I’m using public chopsticks, so don’t worry about hygiene.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes brightened, and he smiled lightly as he took a bite.

Brother Pei didn’t seem like the type to proactively help others with their food at the dining table, so his actions were considerate of him, who was visiting such a restaurant for the first time, and he wanted to ensure his comfort by offering to help him with the food.

The taste of the meatballs was indeed quite strange. One bite was enough to tell that they were loaded with a variety of ingredients, creating a rich but unpleasant texture. However, it was the kind of unpleasantness that could still be swallowed.

Since it was Pei Zhaozhou who had served them, Si Huaixi surprisingly found himself in a good mood and finished all the meatballs.

People in the post-apocalyptic world don’t waste food!

Upon seeing Si Huaixi picking up his chopsticks, Pei Zhaozhou finally started using his own chopsticks and approached the plate with the unidentified black tentacles closest to him.

Si Huaixi inexplicably felt a shock in his heart, wanting to speak up and stop him, yet not knowing what to say.

As Pei Zhaozhou was about to consume one of those mysterious creatures, Si Huaixi couldn’t hold back any longer and exclaimed, “Brother Pei!”

“Ugh—”

Pei Zhaozhou had picked up a piece of the black tentacle, but before he could put it in his mouth, his stomach churned with nausea, causing him to involuntarily retch.

Si Huaixi was startled, almost dropping his chopsticks. This unknown creature must be incredibly disgusting if even the locals couldn’t tolerate it!

“Brother Pei, are you alright?”

Pei Zhaozhou accepted the tissue handed to him by Si Huaixi, covering his mouth and nose. His face unexpectedly turned pale. After taking a moment to compose himself, he said, “I’m fine… I’ll just go to the restroom for a moment.” The feeling of nausea resurfaced, and Pei Zhaozhou felt like throwing up. But he absolutely didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Si Huaixi.

Pei Zhaozhou abruptly stood up and dashed straight towards the exit, leaving Si Huaixi momentarily bewildered.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wenjia picked up one of the tentacles and savored it with delight. Engaging in casual conversation with Si Huaixi, he remarked, “I wonder what’s been going on with Pei Zhaozhou’s digestive system lately. We’re just having a meal together, yet he’s lost his appetite recently. He barely touched his chopsticks. Such a waste of delicious food!”

Si Huaixi expressed concern, “Has Brother Pei been like this often lately?”

Zhou Wenjia replied, “Maybe it’s because he’s been busy with work, often forgetting to eat, and he ended up with stomach problems. He just needs to take it easy.”

Si Huaixi worried that Pei Zhaozhou might stay in the restroom for too long, so he followed after him.

Before they could even step into the restroom, they heard a muffled groaning and retching sound. Si Huaixi grew increasingly anxious, fearing that something serious might be happening to Pei Zhaozhou, and hurriedly rushed in.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Pei Zhaozhou’s pale face, sweat dripping from his forehead, and a creased brow that revealed his discomfort. He desperately pressed his hand against his mouth, attempting to suppress the urge to vomit, but it was futile.

Si Huaixi’s gaze turned serious. “Brother Pei, come on, I’ll take you to the hospital!”

Pei Zhaozhou replied, “No need, it’s just a temporary bout of stomach illness.”

“But I’m worried about you.”

Si Huaixi stubbornly looked at him, his eyes filled with concern and care. Pei Zhaozhou felt a slight stir in his heart.

“But don’t you have a film shoot in the afternoon?”

“I will ask for a leave from the crew.”

Pei Zhaozhou couldn’t resist Si Huaixi’s decision, even though he thought he was making a big deal out of it. He obediently went to the hospital as instructed.

A private hospital.

This was the hospital Pei Zhaozhou usually went to, and he trusted the doctors there.

Pei Zhaozhou changed into a patient’s gown, adding a hint of fragility to his handsome and restrained appearance. He underwent a physical examination, his usually firm black hair softly falling down. His sharp and imposing black eyes seemed gentle, with a hint of exhaustion.

Pei Zhaozhou sat in the VIP ward, waiting for the examination results. Si Huaixi accompanied him, holding his hand and comforting him. “It’s alright, once the examination is done, we’ll go back.”

“Mm.” Pei Zhaozhou tightly pursed his lips, his complexion still not great.

Every time he entered a hospital, nothing good ever happened. He was truly scared. What if his excessive pheromone disorder worsened?

Pei Zhaozhou clasped his hands tightly, his pupils trembling with uncontrollable fear. He lowered his head and said to Si Huaixi, “Could you step outside for a moment? I want to look at the examination results alone.”

He was afraid that Si Huaixi would find out he was a disabled person with a disorder of excessive pheromone production. As an Alpha, he wanted to preserve his last shred of dignity.

Si Huaixi’s eyes dimmed for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure. “Alright, Brother Pei, I’ll wait for you outside.”

“…Mm.”

Si Huaixi walked out of the room, leaning against the wall at a distance. His deep blue eyes turned dark with worry, almost black.

— Brother Pei.

Soon, the doctor entered.

The doctor looked at the empty room and, holding the medical records, asked Pei Zhaozhou while checking the data, “Are you an Omega or a Beta?”

“…Alpha.”

The doctor raised his eyebrows with a look of confusion.

“Alpha?”

Pei Zhaozhou felt utterly bewildered.

Wasn’t he an Alpha? What else could he be?

“It’s Alpha. If you don’t believe me, I can show you my ID.”

“Are you sure you haven’t recently undergone secondary differentiation, like becoming an Omega or a Beta?”

Pei Zhaozhou thought there must be a major issue with his medical examination report. His face couldn’t help but darken, and his tone carried a hint of disappointment and heaviness. “Doctor, just say what you want to say directly. I can handle it.”

Pei Zhaozhou anticipated that there would come a day when he would fall seriously ill, his pheromones would become erratic, and he would turn into a useless person who couldn’t even control his own behavior and temperament, becoming irritable, impulsive, and reckless.

If that day really came… Pei Zhaozhou furrowed his brow, a suffocating feeling gripping his chest.

He would be admitted to a hospital to spend the rest of his time. He had already prepared his will, with the majority of his assets to be donated to the Imperial Charity Organization, and the remaining shares to be given to his good friend Zhou Wenjia.

And Si Huaixi…

Pei Zhaozhou’s black pupils dimmed in an instant, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, more suffocating and uncomfortable than tears.

The doctor relaxed his expression and said, “Congratulations, you’re the first Alpha in this hospital to become pregnant!”

Pei Zhaozhou: “…!!!”
