strangeness
After returning to City S from City C, the group continued their normal work. After going to the company to handle some signed documents, Wei Mingjue asked Xia Fan to drive back to the villa.
After leaving Xinhua, Wei Mingjue remained silent. His colleagues were also affected by the depressing atmosphere and did not dare to say a word. It was not until they returned to the office that they talked about the situation in City C with their colleagues.
Xia Fan looked at Wei Mingjue sitting in the back row with some worry. After all, he had experienced this heart-wrenching feeling before. When he still liked Wei Mingjue, Wei Mingjue did many things that made him heartbroken, but it was just a secret crush, and Wei Mingjue had no idea.
But what about Zou Yuqing? This soft-hearted Alpha was incredibly harsh towards Wei Mingjue. Even though he knew Wei Mingjue was trying to reform for him, he still marked the Omega around him. Xia Fan knew he shouldn't blame Zou Yuqing; he'd indeed been deeply hurt by Wei Mingjue.
"How is Mingyu? Has he been okay these days?" Wei Mingjue asked after getting out of the car and entering the house to see Liang Shu.
The tiredness between his friend's brows made Liang Shu stunned for a moment. "Mingyu is fine. He has gained some weight because of the kitchen lady. But you, didn't you get enough rest these past two days? Didn't you see him?"
Liang Shu didn't know what had happened. Xia Fan hadn't approached him in a long time. Originally, the Alpha might have come to him to complain about something. Thinking of Xia Fan, he looked around again.
Wei Mingjue naturally noticed Liang Shu's move. He smiled helplessly, "He's marked another Omega and started a new life. Are you looking for Xia Fan? He should still be in the garage getting ready to leave. I'll give you half a day off."
"Ah?" Liang Shu was a little at a loss. Wei Mingjue seemed to see through him.
"Ah, what? Go find Xia Fan. If you don't go, he'll leave."
After hearing what Wei Mingjue said, Liang Shu thanked him and immediately rushed out of the house. Wei Mingjue turned around and looked at Liang Shu's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Liang Shu regretted it. During the days when Xia Fan ignored him, he was deeply upset about what he had said. He had never told Xia Fan about his feelings, and in the end, he had not allowed Xia Fan to be with someone else. This behavior was completely un-adult.
But he couldn't bear to do so, and really didn't want to give Xia Fan to someone else, especially since the other person was a Beta like him, and was even a college student.
When he ran out of the villa, Xia Fan was already driving away from the gate. Liang Shu accelerated and ran over, blocking Xia Fan on the side when he was about to turn.
Xia Fan was obviously frightened. He rolled down the window and looked at Liang Shu, "Why did you suddenly run out?"
Liang Shu panted and smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't Ming Jue say that you were about to leave and I wanted to stop you?"
"Is there something wrong?" Xia Fan asked calmly. The moment he saw Liang Shu, he thought of Xu Wang. That Beta had stopped contacting him, as if he had vanished. Even though they were both in S City, it was as if they were not in the same country.
"Are you free tonight?" Liang Shu felt a little bitter at Xia Fan's cold attitude. "It's been a long time since we've had a drink together. Let's have dinner together and then have a drink, okay?"
Liang Shu's final tone was pitiful and pleading, which made Xia Fan feel a little reluctant. After all, they were good friends, and it seemed a bit foolish to break up the relationship just because another Beta appeared.
Nodding, Xia Fan checked the time on his phone and said, "Let's get in the car. Have you thought about what to eat tonight?"
Hearing him ask this, Liang Shuli immediately got into the car with a smile. That smile made Xia Fan stunned for a moment, and then he smiled helplessly.
"Let's go to the place we always eat at, have some Western food and then drink some wine. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Driving to the restaurant and bar where they used to meet up, both of them were preoccupied with thoughts. After sitting down, Liang Shu spoke first, "Actually, I asked you out today because I wanted to apologize to you. I did something wrong that day."
It had been over a month since that day, and Xia Fan would often wonder on countless nights, "Do I really have to continue this 'cold war' with Liang Shu?" But it seemed there wasn't anything he needed to say to Liang Shu. He had been so busy lately that they had no time, and no reason, to meet.
So he didn't know how to meet Xu Wang. As time went on, some words became harder to say, but he had already bought a "reconciliation" gift, which he had found online when searching for college students' favorite gifts and found the perfect one for Xu Wang.
"It's okay, I don't care anymore." Xia Fan smiled faintly: "I've been too busy recently and don't have time to ask you out."
Liang Shu's suppressed heart finally relaxed a lot, "Yeah, seeing you and Mingjue running around the factory company and City C, you must have worked hard. What's going on with Zou Yuqing? Mingjue told me that he marked an Omega?" When Wei Mingjue said it frankly just now, he only felt a sadness entangled with the Alpha who always looked high-spirited, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Well, I didn't expect that he temporarily marked his friend, an Omega." Xia Fan replied: "But when I saw his friend, he didn't seem to be in estrus, but the pheromones were indeed out of his control. Would it be like this if he was not in estrus?" He looked at Liang Shu and asked.
As a doctor, Liang Shu knew a lot. He quickly answered, "That's hard to say. A small number of people experience a period of 'unconscious pheromone leakage' before their estrus or susceptible period. Isn't that what happened to you? But during this period, neither Alpha nor Omega have much desire to mark or be marked. So I don't know what state he was in when you saw him. If he looked like he was in estrus, or even asked the Alpha to mark him, then he might have injected himself with illegal drugs. Furthermore, he might have done it intentionally. There are many such cases in society."
"You mean... Jiang Lu did it on purpose?" Xia Fan was a little shocked and looked at Liang Shu in disbelief.
"Jiang Lu? Sounds familiar." Liang Shu frowned slightly upon hearing the name. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it right away. "I'm just guessing. If this Omega really likes Zou Yuqing, then the possibility is even greater."
"He seems to really like Zou Yuqing and went to City C with her." Xia Fan suddenly felt that what Liang Shu said made sense, and he couldn't help but start to speculate. "The way he looked at President Wei was very strange."
"Very strange?" Liang Shu looked at Xia Fan, who was frowning and speculating, with great interest. "Does he feel hatred? Hate Ming Jue for stealing his favorite Alpha?"
"I don't know how to describe it."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about you. You have been releasing pheromones unconsciously for more than a month. Your susceptible period is coming soon, right? Otherwise, it would be too abnormal." Liang Shu laughed and asked about Xia Fan's situation.
Xia Fan pursed his lips. This time was indeed unusual. Normally, he should have passed the susceptible period by now, but apart from the occasional pheromone emission, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Maybe it's because I've been taking an injection of inhibitor every morning recently, so this happened," he guessed.
"One shot every day? Don't you want to avoid the susceptible period?" Liang Shu frowned. "No more shots starting tomorrow."
"Well, I've been busy lately, so I thought about getting a shot to suppress it. Just in case when I'm busiest..."
Before he could finish his words, a series of messages suddenly popped up on Xia Fan's phone, showing that the other party was very anxious.
"Who is it?" Liang Shu frowned even more tightly.
"Brother Hei, President Wei asked me to check on Jiang Lu. I asked Brother Hei to help me check. I think there is some news." After saying that, Xia Fan clicked on the information sent by Brother Hei. His eyes widened suddenly when he saw it. "It's him!"
