Chapter 12 Chapter 12 He is not my “medicine lead”.

"What?"

"Here, take a look." Lin Yunzhou handed the test report to Chen Louchen.

Chen Louchen took it hastily, his eyes quickly scanning the pages filled with data and graphs. The title bar of the report had the word "abnormal" circled in red. Among the various indicators analyzed below, the part about pheromones in Fu Xu's blood was particularly eye-catching:

The blood does not contain the pheromones that Omegas use to appease Alphas in the traditional sense, but an extremely special glandular gene.

"Look here," Lin Yunzhou pointed at one of the comparison data sets with his finger, then pulled out a test result from half an hour later and presented it to Shen Louchen. "This is the blood sample taken when he was first sent here. The live pheromone content in it is ridiculously high, almost ten times that of an ordinary Omega, and it has a clear restorative effect. But if you look at the blood test results half an hour later, the pheromone content has dropped drastically, which is equivalent to nothing."

Chen Louchen's fingers suddenly tightened, wrinkling the edges of the paper. He remembered the sweet and fishy taste with a hint of rust between his teeth, and the burning sensation in his glands. He could feel that it was not the soothing brought by the pheromone compatibility, but a soothing feeling that almost penetrated into his body.

Chen Louchen's brows knitted even tighter, his fingertips traced over the word "repair", and his mind instantly recalled the strange soothing feeling brought by Fu Xu's blood entering his body: "So, what use is he to me?"

"I can't really say, that's the truth." Lin Yunzhou spread his hands. "I've never encountered such a situation before. I suspect it might be related to his physiological state at the time, such as the stress response caused by glandular damage. In short, this omega's blood is very strange. As for what exactly is going on, I can't say without more comprehensive testing."

Chen Louchen was silent, his eyes fixed on the closed door of the clinic. Fu Xu lay on the bed, his chest rising and falling indistinctly, looking like a tattered rag doll. He recalled the way Fu Xu bit his lips tightly and trembled all over when he was bitten, but refused to utter a single groan of pain. He couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll go see him." Chen Louchen folded the report and stuffed it into his pocket. His tone returned to his usual cold and hard tone, but his footsteps unconsciously became lighter.

Lin Yunzhou followed Chen Louchen back to the ward and waited for more than ten minutes until Fu Xu's eyelashes trembled a few times before he opened his eyes.

Seeing that time was almost up, Lin Yunzhou turned around and opened a new set of disposable tools, intending to replace the gauze on Fu Xu's neck.

"The glandular nervous system is relatively dense, so I will try to go slowly." Lin Yunzhou reminded.

Fu Xu nodded obediently and let Lin Yunzhou do what he wanted.

The stinging sensation of the disinfectant caused Fu Xu's pale cheeks to twitch slightly, his eyelashes trembling violently, but he only pursed his lower lip tighter, without even a slight gasp. Lin Yunzhou shook his head, slowed down his movements, and observed his reaction. It was not until the cotton swab wiped across the deepest tooth marks that Fu Xu finally couldn't hold back and let out a very light whimper from his throat.

"Tell me if it hurts." Lin Yunzhou raised an eyebrow and put on the new hemostatic patch. "If you hold it in, I won't know if I've touched the glandular nerve, which will affect my judgment."

Fu Xu finally released his lips, which had been bitten until they were bloodless, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Just now, there was a little bit..."

In the Fu family, pain was never something that could be exchanged for sympathy, but would only lead to more impatient scolding. He was already used to enduring it, and this kind of pain was actually nothing.

At this time, Chen Louchen walked to the bedside, and Fu Xu immediately looked at him nervously. Chen Louchen sat on the bedside and stretched out his arm in front of Fu Xu, "If it hurts, hold on to me." Chen Louchen's voice was emotionless, but Fu Xu felt inexplicably relieved.

This was the first time he had someone to rely on.

It was the familiar scent again. Chen Louchen sniffed it lightly. He glanced at Lin Yunzhou, still moving quickly, as if he didn't notice any pheromones.

Chen Louchen frowned, vaguely sensing something, but it was so fleeting that he couldn't catch it.

Lin Yunzhou wrapped the gauze, cleared his throat, and looked at Fu Xu: "You can see that your husband is in poor health. The destructive power of his pheromones when out of control is almost as great as that of a terrifying weapon. If your blood hadn't been of some use just now, he would probably be lying in the emergency room next door."

Fu Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Louchen worriedly: "Mr. Chen...are you okay?"

"He's fine." Lin Yunzhou waved his hands, thinking that omegas are really strange creatures. Even though they are on the verge of death, what they care about most is their alpha. No wonder things like alpha cheating have become commonplace.

Lin Yunzhou deliberately downplayed the situation, "He just needs a special method of treatment. Now it seems that your blood seems to be of some use, but we have to figure out the principle before we can treat it accordingly, so..." He paused, staring at Fu Xu with a burning gaze, "Are you willing to cooperate with us in some experiments?"

"What, what experiment?" Fu Xu asked subconsciously. He only knew that omegas would be taken away for drug testing or dissection experiments. Is he... the same?

"It's just some blood sample monitoring. They may draw more blood and do some gland stimulation tests. I've read your medical records. You've had gland differentiation surgery, which is better than this." Lin Yunzhou spoke like a machine gun. His tone seemed to be negotiating but did not allow for refusal.

Chen Louchen frowned and was about to object, but he heard Fu Xu answer without hesitation: "I do."

The three words were spoken very clearly, even with a hint of urgency. Fu Xu raised his head and looked at Shen Louchen, without any hesitation in his eyes: "As long as I can help Mr. Shen, I, I don't mind."

He recalled the painful look on Chen Louchen's face when he lost control, and combined with what he said at Fu's house today, he knew that Chen Louchen was trying to help him escape from the Fu family. This alpha looked cold and strong, but at least he gave him a chance to survive and a sense of security he had never had before. If he could use his own blood to help him, what would this little pain matter?

Lin Yunzhou glanced at Chen Louchen complacently, as if to say, "Look, they did it voluntarily."

Chen Louchen's face immediately darkened: "No." He flatly refused, "I don't need to use this method."

"Chen Louchen, are you truly crazy?" Lin Yunzhou exploded on the spot. He dragged Chen Louchen to the compartment, closed the door, and shouted, "This isn't a question of whether you need it or not. There's an opportunity right here that might solve your problem! Do you know how dangerous it is every time your pheromones go out of control? Do you know how long you can live? If you don't think about yourself, have you considered the Shen family? Have you considered the support team? Have you considered the brothers who have been through thick and thin with you? If you die, who among them can escape unscathed? They were helpless before, but now there's a 'medicine lead' that's been delivered to their door. Are you going to talk to me about principles?"

"I'll arrange everything." Chen Louchen's voice was as cold as ice, his expression firm, as if everything was under his control. "Before I die, I will protect everyone, but..." He paused, as if he couldn't find the right words, and finally said stiffly, "He's just an omega that grandpa forced me to have. I also said that I would only keep him. I won't let him suffer unnecessary pain for me."

"Who told you it's unnecessary?" Lin Yunzhou was so angry that he wanted to hit him on the head. "He agreed to it himself! He's just an omega. He should feel honored to trade an omega for your life!"

"This matter ends here." Chen Louchen took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

No matter how "worthy" he is in Lin Yunzhou's words, an innocent omega cannot be allowed to die because of him. This is truly not worth it.

The hospital was very soundproof. Fu Xu didn't know what the two of them said, but he vaguely felt that they were arguing. Seeing Chen Louchen come out, he whispered, "Mr. Chen, I'm very grateful for helping me and taking me in. If there is anything I can do for you, can't you let me try? Just consider it... just consider it as my repayment to you, okay?"

He had nothing and left the Fu family alone. There was very little he could do for Mr. Shen. Compared with being sent to the fertility center, Mr. Shen was like a god who descended from nowhere. He had heard the dean tell the story of tying a grass and holding a ring, so he should do something for Mr. Shen.

Chen Louchen was silent for a long time, his eyes wandering over Fu Xu's pale yet resolute face. There was no fear in those eyes, only a pure desire. This purity was like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples and making him feel inexplicably irritated.

He doesn't like the feeling of being needed, or needing others.

"I promise you, but..." Chen Louchen finally spoke, his tone unquestionable and tough, "We must ensure his safety and health, without any excessive damage."

Lin Yunzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if you think so."

Fu Xu also breathed a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In the next few days, Fu Xu cooperated with Lin Yunzhou's various examinations in the hospital, including blood draws, gland scans, pheromone fluctuation monitoring... Lin Yunzhou was like discovering a new continent, doing experiments in different ways every day, and Fu Xu was always very cooperative, gritting his teeth and enduring no matter how painful it was.

Sometimes, in order to observe the changes in blood after the glands were stimulated, Lin Yunzhou had to perform micro-electric stimulation on Fu Xu's glands. The pain made Fu Xu's back instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his lips were bitten until they bled, but he didn't shed a single tear.

Every time Chen Louchen came to see him, he could see new pinholes or red marks left by instruments on his body. He tried to stop some of Lin Yunzhou's overly radical experiments, but Lin Yunzhou always found various reasons to convince him. In addition, Fu Xu himself always said, "I'm fine, Mr. Shen", leaving him no way to refute.

That day, Chen Louchen had just gotten off work and when he came to the ward, Lin Yunzhou had just finished drawing blood from Fu Xu. Fu Xu raised the corner of his lips to smile, and seemed very happy.

Chen Louchen put the bag on the bedside table and glanced at the retention needle on Fu Xu's arm. Although he had found the best nutritionist to supplement Fu Xu's nutrition these days, Fu Xu's complexion was still not good because of various experiments.

Fu Xu felt uncomfortable being stared at. He tugged at the sleeve of his hospital gown and tried to force a smile: "Mr. Shen?"

"You, heard everything?"
