Chapter 29
Ice-cold liquid poured into the back of his neck, and the already wounded area became numb and sore from the needle prick. Shi Yu's consciousness was cut off in the embrace of the fir scent.
The crimson dream cooled down, and consciousness floated lightly in the clouds. The outside world was noisy and questioning, countless military boots stepped out with sharp steps, piles of papers were thrown hard at someone, and long strings of data made the machine issue a piercing warning.
The men's arguments and silences, the sounds of huge machines starting up, the smell of disinfectant—
Shi Yu no longer wanted to care about these vague scenes in his dreams.
She was very tired, her body went from hot to cold, and at the moment she fainted, Shi Yu was actually very relaxed, because she knew that she could finally have a good sleep.
...Shigure was unconscious for a long time.
The eight days that seemed like a lifetime ago seemed to have gradually faded from her memory. In the long, long darkness, Shi Yu's dreams were empty. She fell asleep tired and painful, the bitter smell of medicine lingering numbly at the tip of her nose.
Although the smell of the medicine was often overpowered by the gentle fragrance of flowers, Shigure couldn't recall the floral scent. Just like she could feel the pain of the injections piercing her veins every day while she slept, but the voice that sometimes comforted her after the injections in her ear had left no special impression on her...
A long time passed, and the people who accompanied her in the ward gradually became worried and anxious in their controlled, low voices.
Perhaps she had slept to a point that was worrying. One day, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her wrist, and a soft whisper parted the bubbles gurgling up from the bottom of the sea. In her sinking dream, Shigure finally realized that she had to open her eyes.
She tried persistently and sleepily, moving her eyelashes slowly and wetly. The moment she slightly opened her eyes, the dazzling white light poured into her pupils, and Shi Yu suddenly shed tears fragilely.
"General!"
Shi Yu vaguely heard a gentle female voice. She clenched her wrist slightly, but let go as if she was afraid of scaring Shi Yu.
"It worked, she woke up!" said the female voice in a deliberately lowered voice.
Shi Yu was still very confused, tears dripping unconsciously from her eyes. She dimly saw the girl closest to her holding her wrist with a joyful expression, her green eyes clear and pure. In addition to her, several men and women with blurred faces appeared in her vision, and the room was filled with the scent of candy and flowers.
The girl with beautiful blue eyes and bright golden curly hair carefully held her wrist, and with her free hand, she raised a square screen in her arms with a little excitement, which just happened to capture the whole picture of Shigure lying weakly on the bed.
"Look at the General," she said.
...Shi Yu stared with his eyes wide open, looking bewildered.
"Natasha, be careful."
"Slow down, Nana—"
Just as the girl finished her movements, the person called "General" on the screen hadn't spoken yet, but soft and gentle voices of dissuasion came from all around. Those voices seemed to have some kind of sweet rhythm, which made Shi Yu feel like pieces of marshmallows were tickling his ears.
Shi Yu looked at the screen. The man was wearing a straight military uniform. His cold, black-gold hair was frosted white at the edges. His eye sockets were deep, and smile lines appeared in the corners of his slightly drooping eyes.
"Hello, Shigure."
His voice was rich and deep, his epaulettes and star marks meticulously applied, and his wolf-like grey eyes, their coldness and sharpness diminished. "It's our first meeting, and I'm glad to see you awake. You still need to rest. If you feel unwell, please tell the doctor and Natasha."
As soon as she finished speaking, the blonde girl holding her wrist added cheerfully: "I'm Natasha, I've been with you these past two days!"
Shi Yu's eyelids were twitching tiredly. After taking a while to react, she moved her lips slowly, as if she wanted to say thank you, but in the end, her dry throat only made a few inaudible sounds.
Shigure had just woken up, and perhaps taking this into consideration, the man addressed as "General" didn't take the time to introduce himself. He clasped his hands on the table, his arms steadily pressing down on the pile of documents. He called out gently, "Natasha."
"Uh-huh."
The blonde girl let go of Shi Yu's wrist and carefully put Shi Yu's arm into the quilt. She turned the screen towards herself. The people around Natasha immediately shouted "General" in a low voice, and several pairs of beautiful eyes came up to her with sparkling eyes.
"Thank you for taking care of Shi Yu." Seeing the young face on the screen, the general smiled and said, "Good children."
The boys and girls around them lowered their voices and became more modest after receiving the compliment. Natasha, however, looked a little embarrassed. She blushed and said, "...No, we're all Omegas, so it's only natural for us to help each other."
——Omega.
Shigure felt a headache. The moment she heard the word, lost memories seemed to resurface before her eyes. The smell of rust on weapons and knives, the throbbing of pulses, and the roars of the boys... They kept repeating the word, as if she were the trigger that caused them to lose their minds.
The moment fear crept into Shigure's heart, she suddenly heard a soft beeping sound nearby. Natasha and the other boys and girls were still talking to the general on the screen when they heard the sudden noise from the detection machine. Startled, Natasha ignored the general and swarmed over with her companions like a flock of little birds.
"Are you okay?" The blonde girl approached Shi Yu worriedly and touched his forehead. "Fortunately, your temperature is normal. Your body is too weak. You must rest well and don't think too much."
"I heard from the general that the person who caused the car accident--" Natasha seemed to have unfinished words, but was interrupted by the soft but forceful voice on the screen.
"Natasha." The general's voice came from the screen. "She needs to rest now. You should finish your homework for today."
Natasha opened her eyes wide. The general's reminder to stop seemed to make her realize something. The girl's expression immediately drooped, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.
She realized that she couldn't tell Shigure about the car accident now. Omegas are all very timid and fragile. Shigure might still be psychologically affected by the car accident.
The friend next to her pulled the hem of her skirt from behind, and Natasha, who was stunned, stammered and responded: "Well, then we'll leave first... General." She shook the screen in her hand, and the general's steady and majestic face was shaken up and down in her hand.
"General, you probably don't have time this week, do you? We'll be leaving soon. Do you have anything else to say to Shigure?"
Shi Yu was almost asleep, and the screen was still flickering in front of her, causing double images. She squinted her eyes drowsily, struggling to maintain a relatively clear mind.
The general must have seen her bewildered expression as she struggled to open her eyes—the girl named Natasha raised the screen high again. Shi Yu heard faint, muffled, harmless laughter from the surroundings, followed by the general's calm, smiling farewell.
"We'll talk next time if we have a chance. Go and have a rest, Shigure."
...This tone made Shi Yu feel that the "General" was like an easygoing and gentle elder. Although he held a high military rank, he was actually a very good and humble person.
Thinking about this, Shi Yu fell asleep again.
In the next two or three days, Shi Yu was able to stay awake for three or four hours every day. Natasha and her friends came to see her almost every day. Shi Yu couldn't describe that strange sense of closeness, but she liked them very much.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to her illness, Shi Yu often felt dizzy. Her consciousness was always groggy and she couldn't really follow what Natasha and the others were saying. Most of the time she just listened quietly...
Besides Natasha and the others, Shi Yu saw most of the doctors in white coats and masks. They didn't live here, but they always came with a full complement of equipment and medicine boxes. Occasionally, they would chat with Shi Yu to ease her mood. But the doctors seemed to keep their distance, and Shi Yu still didn't know the names of any of them.
I couldn't even see his face clearly...
As for the "General" who had appeared on the screen that time, Shi Yu hadn't had the chance to see him in the past two days. But anyway—it was just recuperation, and Shi Yu felt much more relaxed than when he was in the wild. The weakness and discomfort in his body finally eased after the doctor injected more injections into the back of his neck.
On the fourth day, Shi Yu felt a little better.
When the doctor came in the morning, Shi Yu had just crawled out of bed, dozing off with messy hair. The two doctors, who did not have the sweet taste like Natasha and the others, and who were taciturn and had a bland smell, smiled at her and began to prepare to give her an injection as usual.
Shi Yu tilted his shoulders in a daze and pushed aside his black hair. When the needle pierced the subcutaneous tissue at the back of his neck, although he was already used to such pain, he still got goose bumps from the cold.
As if to divert attention, she whispered, "...Doctor."
Glancing cautiously to the side, Shigure took a deep breath to calm himself, then asked tentatively, "Excuse me, do you know Wayne, Kanhara Xiao, Loren, and Xia Feng? Do you know their current situation?"
The horrific dream of that day lingered in her mind, and mentioning those names was like reliving the nightmare that day. But, but... Although she was terrified, Shi Yu could not forget the red-haired boy who had always protected her at that moment, as well as other close friends. Shi Yu knew that they were all seriously injured at that time.
She is very worried.
Her fingers steadily pushed down the needle. The doctor giving her the injection replied, as expected, "I don't know." The doctor next to her, wearing a mask, smiled and asked with a hint of interest, "Who are you?"
Shigure replied, "Friends."
The doctors stopped talking. Shi Yu realized from the past few days of getting along with them that they were not talkative people. When she was about to leave, the rather cold female doctor who always gave her the injection with an expressionless face bent down to pick up the medicine box. When she stood up, her eyes behind the lenses suddenly met Shi Yu's blank gaze with a serious look.
The female doctor pushed her glasses up and looked directly at Shi Yu. Her usual calm tone softened a little as she asked, "Did the general tell you?"
Shigure: “…No?”
Since that day, she never saw the general again. Shi Yu only remembered that the general told her to have a good rest.
"..." The doctor was silent for a moment, then said, "Then perhaps the general has been very busy recently, but you must remember that you were sent to this nursing home because of a car accident, understand?"
The author has something to say:
A smooth transition chapter. This chapter features the general, the same superior from before—a gentle patriarch! He's so mad at Lei Yin right now that he genuinely forgot to remind his younger sister. Because A had harmed her so badly, he came up with a new excuse for the other Os to protect her.
The little A's are offline for now, and the daily routine with the little O's begins! The emotions between omegas are really sticky, right? They are all sisters' wings, so I'll just let go and write (?)
Then there is something I really want to say.
This article has been written intermittently for a long time, and you may find some of the content in the front confusing... These are all plots that I came up with at the time, and there are indeed many problems, and my writing skills are not good enough.
I was able to persevere because I had a group of cuties who accompanied me from the beginning to the end and never gave up on me. I am familiar with every ID, and I am really grateful to them.
Signing a contract and becoming a V-Person both happened within the past two weeks, because I wanted to push myself further, and I've gained unexpected popularity over the past two days. As a relatively obscure author before, I've never seen so many collections. But what bothers me more than the collections and revenue is the criticism. But I personally ask everyone, if anything in this story offends you, please don't criticize my characters, especially the girl. I wrote it with genuine love, so please criticize the author for her poor writing skills.
Finally, this article actually doesn't have any serious plot... The author has the stars and the sea in his heart, and wrote this irrational and popular maiden article. You don't have to take it too seriously when reading it. It would be my honor if it made you feel happy. If you think this article is terrible, you can also say it. If you have bought the v, I will give you a small red envelope as compensation.
Finally, please stop accusing me, oh my goodness. You can say I'm a bad writer, whatever you want... But writing for personal pleasure doesn't mean I enjoy being watched by men in real life. I've been really disappointed and angry about recent social events, arguing with those inappropriate comments until late at night. I also really enjoy reading stories about women, so my heroines have all sorts of yuri plots, and the stories in my column are all otome-oriented, all-one-way relationships. Even the ABO story in this story has A and O sharing the same estrus period, A and O are attracted to each other, and O can even tame A. But I can't write such a thrilling plot yet...
The next chapter will be about a physical examination! Let the little As start their palace fights, hehe.
