Chapter 1 Cannon Fodder Substitute
His nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant and his ears were filled with noisy voices. Ji Xia finally couldn't help it and forced himself to open his heavy eyelids.
What caught my eye was the old and yellowed ceiling.
His dilated pupils took a while to relax before gradually focusing, and his chaotic mind completely woke up from an absurd dream.
The strange thing is that after waking up, the content of the dream is still clearly imprinted in my mind.
In his dream, he transformed into an Omega and was sold to an Alpha by his father for half a million...
Ji Xia's delicate brows knitted slightly, and as she recalled the subsequent developments in her dream, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. It was too terrifying...
Fortunately, this dream is impossible to come true!
He differentiated into a Beta when he was fourteen and could not become an Omega.
Ji Xia raised his hand and rubbed his chest, exhaled a breath of foul air, and drove away the uneasy feeling that was infested by the dream.
He used his arms to support himself on the bed and tried to sit up, but the movement sent a wave of pain through his limbs. He gritted his teeth and leaned against the headboard, only to find himself in the county hospital.
Ji Xia was most afraid of going to the hospital; the pungent smell of disinfectant made him feel uneasy.
He suddenly remembered that in his dream, he was sold in the hospital... He shook his head violently, throwing away the countless thoughts that were rushing out.
Dreams are just dreams, how can they come true?
What's more, even if Ji Chengguo is unreliable, he will not sell him out... They are blood relatives.
Ji Xia tried hard to recall what happened last night, but no matter how many times he recalled it, he always came up with the same answer: He got home from work at three in the morning and went to bed.
He should be at home, how did he get to the hospital?
Just as he was thinking, he noticed someone's gaze from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and his eyes met with the middle-aged woman who was sleeping with him in the next bed.
The middle-aged woman looked at him with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
At this time, the middle-aged man lying on the bed kicked her and said in a low voice, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
Ji Xia didn't hear what the man said clearly, but he was extremely surprised. The uncle and aunt in the bed next to him looked exactly like the ones he saw in his dream...
He couldn't control his thoughts and continued thinking - the next thing was that Ji Chengguo and his mother came in, his mother kept crying, and Ji Chengguo asked me to go with that man.
Ji Xia kept telling himself in his heart that this would not happen, and that Ji Chengguo would only come to him when he wanted money.
He is now in the hospital and needs someone to take care of him. Ji Chengguo is too busy hiding to show up.
But the next second, he saw Ji Chengguo walking into the ward in high spirits, followed by his mother who was sobbing softly.
Ji Chengguo walked to Ji Xia's bedside, pulled the folding chair that came with the bed next to him and sat down. He said with sparkling eyes, "Xia, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so lucky to differentiate into an Omega. You will have a good life in the future..."
Ji Xia's eyes widened like a cat's, his ears buzzing with fear, and his frail body trembled slightly, like a dead leaf drifting in the wind in the cold winter.
Omega... He really needs to transform into an Omega...
Ji Xia suddenly remembered something.
He turned his head inch by inch with his stiff body. When he saw the gentleman in a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses standing at the door of the ward, his pupils suddenly shrank and the blood drained from his palm-sized face.
In the dream, the man took him to the Fu family villa, but Ji Xia did not win the favor of the Alpha and was kicked out.
Ji Xia was at a loss and felt uneasy about the future. When she saw the man waiting outside, it was like she had seen a life-saving straw. She foolishly went home with the man.
Ji Xia pursed her lips tightly, her face pale to the point of being transparent.
If dreams are true, then...
Whenever he returned to the apartment with this man, he would be locked in a small, dark room and violated and beaten every day.
Ji Xia turned back and, desperately, grabbed his mother, who was crying beside him. He choked up and said, "Mom, I can stay awake. I can work two more jobs, no, I can work three more jobs to earn more money. I will definitely be filial to you in the future..."
“Bang!”
A heavy slap hit Ji Xia's face.
The woman collapsed, covering her face with her hands and bursting into panicked sobs, her voice broken by her sobs. "Xia Xia... they have money... you can live a good life with them... it's better than living with... Mom... Xia Xia... don't blame Mom... Mom... there's nothing she can do."
Ji Chengguo withdrew his hand, his face gloomy. He glared at the crying woman and cursed, "You only know how to cry. It's bad luck."
After cursing, he turned to Ji Xia, "How much more money can you earn by working more jobs? Your mother is pregnant again. Do you know how much it costs to give birth? I raised you, a fool. Now it's time for you to repay me..."
The other patients and their families in the ward all cast condemning glances, but no one dared to step out to stop this blatant human trafficking.
Ji Chengguo was a well-known scoundrel in the streets. If you messed with him, you'd get yourself into trouble. Besides, this was a family matter, and they really couldn't intervene.
Lying on the hospital bed near the door was an old lady with white hair. She was Xia Xia's neighbor. She couldn't bear to watch this scene. She turned her back and wiped her tears silently, muttering: "What a sin! Such a good child, such a good child! How could this happen..."
There were tears in Ji Xia's eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.
He slowly loosened his grip, no longer expecting anything. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his emotions had calmed down a lot.
The situation was not that bad. He had a dream and knew who the bad guys were. As long as he avoided them, he would not encounter those bad things.
Now he must escape from here.
Thinking of this, he immediately took action and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go to the toilet."
Ji Chengguo's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't know his son well, his years of experience as a scoundrel trying to escape peeing made him alert.
He said, "I'll go with you."
Ji Xia clenched her fists, trying to remain calm, and said, "I've differentiated into an Omega, which is a bit awkward..."
Ji Chengguo didn't listen to what he said at all. He stood up, grabbed his shoulder and dragged him to the bathroom, warning him non-stop, "Don't try to trick me, you little bastard. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Behave yourself."
Ji Xia didn't expect that her intention to escape by going to the toilet would be so easily discovered. Her pale lips were pressed into a hard straight line.
"Mr. Ji, Xia Xia is a very precious Omega. Please don't be so violent."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses had a gentle voice and exuded the high-class temperament unique to the elite class. He rescued Ji Xia from Ji Chengguo.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengguo opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said earnestly, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, sorry. I'm handing the child over to you. We've settled the matter. From now on, whether this child lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
Chen Chaofei watched the obese middle-aged man leave, a look of disgust flashing across his eyes, but it quickly faded. He turned his gaze back to Ji Xia.
Ji Xia instantly felt like a little rabbit with a wolf biting its throat, not daring to move.
Chen Chaofei sighed softly, and gently helped Ji Xia tidy up her messy hospital gown. He comforted her, "Xia Xia, don't be afraid. It's okay. You won't see that scumbag father again. I will take good care of you."
The man has a good appearance, a strong scholarly air, and a pleasant voice.
If it weren't for that dream, little O, a country boy who had never seen the world and had encountered a major change in his life, would definitely have regarded him as a gentle big brother and relied on him.
Ji Xia lowered her head and whispered in a trembling voice, "I...I want to go to the bathroom."
"good."
Ji Xia thought he had won a chance to escape, and before he could even begin to rejoice, he heard Chen Chaofei continue, "I'll go with you."
Ji Xia shrank back, avoiding the man's outstretched hand, and said, "No, I can do it myself."
Chen Chaofei's hand paused in mid-air, then changed direction and ruffled his hair. His voice was still gentle as he said, "You just had a secondary differentiation last night and your body is still very weak. Can I take you there?"
Ji Xia shook his head vigorously.
Chen Chaofei was very patient. "Then I'll find a nurse to accompany you."
Ji Xia was about to refuse when Chen Chaofei called a passing nurse.
Ji Xia had no choice but to be helped to the restroom by the nurse. After coming out of the restroom, Chen Chaofei completed the discharge procedures for Ji Xia and took her away.
The car door slammed shut with a bang, and Ji Xia's heart trembled. He huddled in the corner of the back seat, watching Chen Chaofei open the door, get in the driver's seat, and start the car.
The scenery outside the car window flew away, and the weakness brought by the secondary differentiation made his eyelids heavy. Ji Xia pinched his thigh hard, forcing himself to stay awake.
He had to change the course of events in order to survive. There had to be a way...
