Chapter 29

The inner door closed with a click.

The school doctor's footsteps faded away.

Lu Si slowly turned around, his eyelids drooping, and stood there stiffly for a moment, then bent down and stretched out his hand.

Gu Fang's forehead was abnormally hot, his brows furrowed in agony, and in a short moment, a layer of sweat formed. He looked as if he had been pulled out of hot water, his rosy lips trembling slightly, his face a sickly flush.

Lu Si was silent for a few moments before he made a decision.

He stood beside the bed, half of his body bent, his throat dry from the scent of orchids as he approached. But he forced himself to hold it in, maintaining a shred of rationality, trying to avoid excessive skin contact, his lips close to Gu Fang's ear.

"Gu Fang."

Lu Si looked down at his face with dark eyes.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Lu Si didn't like doing this kind of thing when the relationship wasn't clear, and even less when one of them wasn't fully awake. Even if it was a normal physiological procedure, if another Omega lay there and the school doctor said no suppressants, he would immediately run to the playground, pull in an Alpha, and then supervise the other's marking.

Influenced by his father, Lu Si is a straight A with strong traditional values.

But there is a prerequisite for all this - that Omega is not Gu Fang.

Lu Si really didn't know what to do with this person.

While in a semi-conscious state, Gu Fang felt the coolness beside him. He turned slightly to the side and clung to Lu Si's arm, like a clingy little animal.

Looking at his subconscious behavior, Lu Si blinked and began to understand. Actually... Gu Fang really likes mint pheromones, right?

Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t like to grow mint.

Lu Si placed his nose close to his snow-white neck, and breathed warmly on him from a distance that seemed almost imperceptible.

He lowered his eyelids, parted his lips slightly, and hesitantly bit the soft gland. He couldn't help but close his eyes again, not daring to look at the scene anymore, and concentrating on injecting his pheromones.

"Hmm..." A pleasant syllable slowly emerged from Gu Fang's lips and teeth.

Lu Si was very sensitive to sounds, and his ears inevitably turned red, so he simply closed his eyes tighter.

As the pheromones were injected into Gu Fang, his consciousness gradually became clearer. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he fluttered upwards. When he opened his eyes, he stared blankly at the boy who was still embracing his side.

"...Lu Si?"

His voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Si was unable to respond to him for the time being. The hand that was holding his neck stroked the muscles on the side of his neck, as if to comfort him.

Gu Fang still held onto his arm and simply hugged him tighter, keeping his eyes down and not moving, looking incredibly well-behaved.

The curtains were drawn in the infirmary, dimly lit, giving me the urge to imagine it would last forever. Next to it was the equipment room. With the 3,000-meter race over, equipment for various events was gradually being moved back, with the occasional sound of footsteps and voices passing by.

Gu Fang felt like he was split into two people.

One is immersed in Lu Si's pheromones and gentle comfort, peacefully and quietly.

One of them was restless and agitated, encouraging him to overturn the Alpha who had marked him, bite his neck in return, and teach him a lesson.

After regaining consciousness, the torment caused by this split became more obvious.

On one hand, there is desire, and on the other hand, there is the desire to conquer that should not belong to an Omega.

Besides these, there were many more thoughts brewing in the dim light of the infirmary.

All these made Gu Fang feel deeply loathsome, but he was unable to break free and fell into the quagmire of sin.

There was a rustling sound in the fabric. He rubbed the sheets and raised his chin impatiently, sniffing at the side of Lu Si's neck with the tip of his nose.

When Lu Si felt the hot breath on the back of his neck, he couldn't help but tremble. His Alpha instincts emerged, and he felt a sense of danger, of being offended and coveted.

But when this sense of crisis rushed from his spine to his brain nerves, instructing his brain to take some protective action, Lu Si used another kind of rationality to restrain himself.

He released his lips, the temporary mark was complete, but there was no next move.

——He was waiting for Gu Fang to take action.

Gu Fang nuzzled the side of his neck affectionately, and suddenly, soft lips pressed against it. Lu Si suppressed the urge to shudder, feeling the skin around him go numb.

Following closely is the hard tooth tip wrapped in softness.

Lu Si couldn't help but tilt his head. Although he was touched on the side of his neck, which was far away from the gland, he still had the urge to escape.

This slight avoidance seemed to make the pretty boy very dissatisfied. He was still hesitating whether to open his lips, but now he was finally willing to expose his dangerous teeth to his treasured treasure. He bit a piece of warm skin on the side of his neck and rubbed it lightly.

Lu Si's sense of crisis completely disappeared.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a faint smile in his eyes: "What the hell—are you awake now, let go?"

A certain Fang Fang ignored him, just raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her eyes as blue as the deep sea were cold and emotionless.

Lu Si's side-parted black hair fell down in a few strands, half covering his inky eyes. He patted Gu Fang's shoulder with a mischievous smile, coaxing him like a child: "Okay, if everything is fine, I still have to help move things for tonight's performance. Xie Ziyao will come to find me later - hiss..."

The tip of the teeth exerted some force, but didn't break the skin.

"Don't bite." Lu Si narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his fingertips rubbed Gu Fang's jaw. "If you bite it, others will see it."

It would be troublesome if they were seen, and Lu Si couldn't explain what he and Gu Fang did in the infirmary in the afternoon.

I don’t know if Gu Fang understood the meaning. He glared at him with dissatisfaction for a while, but did not respond. The force of his teeth did decrease.

Lu Si was almost half lying on the bed, and he simply rubbed the pillow to change into a comfortable position. He gently patted Gu Fang's shoulders and let him rub and suck on that small piece of skin for a long time.

I realized it later...it seems even harder to explain the marks left by sucking?

Never mind... Lu Si's bottom line always dropped quickly in front of Gu Fang. He could just cover it up. If he couldn't, as long as he refused to admit it, no one would make any connections to Gu Fang.

Bang bang——

The atmosphere was harmonious when suddenly someone knocked on the window glass.

I couldn't see the person's face clearly through the curtain, but I could hear Xie Ziyao's recognizable loud voice: "Brother Si, are you in there? - Come and help! My drum set fell apart again when I was moving it, and I have a performance tonight -"

"Oh, right!" Xie Ziyao paused, "Is Xiao Piaoliang okay? Are you okay? Did you get heatstroke?!"

Damn, I have heatstroke. It’s already the end of October.

Lu Si was quite disgusted and had no recollection of how he had acted so foolishly in the first place.

"Gu Fang?"

Lu Si felt the weight on his body lighten, and the boy who was pressing on him had sat up.

Gu Fang didn't reply, as if he was completely sober.

Most of his face was hidden in the shadows, his beautiful lips were stretched straight, his eyelashes drooped to cover his dark eyes, and his originally soft and gentle facial features exuded a sense of alienation that kept strangers away.

"Gu Fang."

Lu Si read the guilt and regret on his face and lowered his voice.

"There's nothing much to say about this. If you want to pretend it didn't happen, then let's just pretend it didn't happen, okay?"

After a pause, he said, "You don't have to feel sorry. I should be the one apologizing for my own rash decision. Will you forgive me?"

After hearing the latter part, Gu Fang raised his eyelids and showed some reaction from his self-loathing state of keeping strangers away.

"No…thank you. I'm feeling much better now."

Lu Si was getting up to straighten his messed-up clothes. Upon hearing this, he smiled faintly with his eyes: "It's okay, you have a good rest."

When the female school doctor came back, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Your boyfriend left?"

Gu Fangben sat silently beside the bed, next to a neatly folded quilt, and shook his head: "We are friends, teacher, you misunderstood."

"Okay, okay, we're friends."

The school doctor didn't dwell on the topic any further. He glanced at the test results in his hand again and again, his joking expression gradually becoming serious. "Little student, I have something not so good to tell you. I detected a certain amount of Alph pheromone in your pheromone secretion, and the smell is exactly the same as your own pheromone."

Gu Fang came back to his senses from his depressed state, his eyes a little confused, as if he didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

"My initial suspicion," the school doctor paused, "is that it might be secondary differentiation. However, we can't rule out the possibility that there's a problem with the reagents. I suggest you go to the hospital immediately for further examination. This kind of thing can't be delayed."

It was only around four o'clock in the afternoon when the 3,000-meter race ended, and there were still several hours before the school anniversary performance began in the evening.

Gu Kao asked for leave from his class teacher Lao Du on WeChat. He did not contact Dr. Xiao Xie, who had been in charge of his physical condition. Instead, he took a taxi alone and went to the nearest public hospital.

"Through testing your glandular development," Dr. Keren said seriously after carefully examining the test results, "we've discovered that your glands have recently begun secondary development. Furthermore, along with the fading of Omega-3 levels, there's a noticeable increase in Alpha-3 levels."

"It's just that at the moment, your Alpha glands haven't fully developed yet, and your pheromones are barely detectable. But preliminary estimates suggest that within three or four days, you'll officially undergo a second differentiation, and the glands that originally belonged to the Omega will fully develop into the Alpha gender."

Gu Fang's face still had an expression of being in shock for a long time.

It turns out that he is not a pervert...

Are we really going to say goodbye to the Omega gender and differentiate into Alpha?

The doctor put down the list and looked across at the other side. "You're not yet an adult. I suggest you notify your parents immediately and come to the hospital for isolation as soon as possible. Secondary differentiation may be accompanied by Alpha's susceptible period. This is your first susceptible period, so it's easy to lose control."

"Also, don't feel any psychological pressure." The doctor said in a gentle voice.

"From your medical records, I can see that your glands were born underdeveloped, and you've undergone numerous surgeries, both major and minor. If you could regain a healthy gland through secondary differentiation, that would be a good thing. While secondary differentiation cases are extremely rare, they do exist."

Gu Fang nodded his chin in sudden realization, holding the list in his hand, his steps were like falling into the clouds, and he didn't remember how he walked out of the outpatient building.

Sitting on a bench in the hospital garden, Gu Fang stared at the children playing and running not far away, as well as the patients in wheelchairs who came out to relax. He emptied his mind and slowly digested his emotions at the moment.

Further out in the open space, poles were neatly arranged, with the inpatient department's uniform white sheets hung to dry. The sheets rose and fell in the wind, like the ups and downs of one's mood.

It's a good thing if you can get a healthy gland.

But after so many years and so many doctors' advice, Gu Fang had already lost his faith in so-called health. He hadn't contacted his family yet, perhaps because he hadn't figured out how to start the conversation. His congenitally imperfect body had brought them too much worry and disappointment.

But if there are no unexpected events, secondary differentiation is a foregone conclusion.

A deeper worry surfaced on Gu Fang's furrowed brow, but he didn't dare to think too much about it.

Alpha... How could he accept himself as an Alpha?
