Chapter 40 No Going Back
Lu Xiwen is not the only top-tier entity with a physical presence.
The experience on the day of differentiation was terrible. Compared with the pretentious comments left by other top-tier people, such as "like being reborn" and "reconstructing bones and muscles", Lu Xiwen felt that it was a bizarre dream. He was experiencing bone pain and blood swelling every moment. When he woke up afterwards, the walls were full of holes from being hammered.
The physical entity stood right next to Lu Xiwen, its pale golden pupils reflecting the same indifferent arrogance as its owner.
What followed was an endless series of inspections and registrations.
Lu Xiwen felt deeply that in the eyes of those medical staff at that time, he might not have been considered a human being.
One of the biology fanatics suddenly gave an electric shock while observing the object.
Lu Xiwen opened his eyes amidst excruciating pain. His memories were fragmented and chaotic, filled with violent elements. At one point, he finally understood that the strength of genes had automatically selected their respective camps, and no matter how friendly he acted, he would not receive equal treatment.
Lu Xi heard that the physical body was taken back from then on and was never released again.
Alpha's top management was not giving up either, and closely monitored Lu Xiwen during the first year. However, Lu Xiwen's growth was astonishing. Once he grew out of his teenage years and successfully took over Changrong, those annoying surveillance efforts could no longer continue.
Even during the subsequent susceptible period, Lu Xiwen never saw the physical body again.
There are also cases where the physical entity appears briefly and then disappears. Since it does not affect daily life, Lu Xiwen did not take it to heart.
Over time, my mind was filled with a mountain of official duties, and that fleeting encounter from that year faded completely from my memory.
A strong blizzard blew in his face, reminding Lu Xiwen of many past events. He rubbed his face vigorously, his mood sour.
Thinking that he wanted to eat Pei Wu's red bean soup, Lu Xiwen turned back home.
He came in looking like he was frozen solid, which startled Pei Wu, who thought he had rolled around in a snowdrift.
Pei Wu brought a towel, but Lu Xiwen didn't take it. Instead, he turned slightly to the side, exposing his neck. Pei Wu paused for a moment and then wiped the water off his neck.
"Let's make some red bean soup," Lu Xi said. "I'm going to take a shower."
"Dry it clean." Pei Wu's attitude was unusually firm. "Don't wash it yet, wait until your temperature rises before you go."
Lu Xiwen didn't like being contradicted, but as if he had thought of something, he hummed twice, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Pei Wu went to make hot tea, while Lu Xiwen sat on the sofa staring at his physical self.
It's not a lynx, it just looks very similar to its cubs.
Lu Xiwen disliked testing, so he grabbed it and, ignoring its struggles, carefully examined its lips and teeth. Although this was only their second meeting, Lu Xiwen, who was already very familiar with top-tier pheromones, was inexplicably certain that this thing was much bigger than it appeared and would likely change as his pheromones increased.
Of course, he didn't try anymore. Lu Xiwen released his physical form, but his tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged. It was as if that current exceeding the body's capacity surged into his brain again, stimulating his body to spasm involuntarily.
Pei Wu brewed a cup of Jin Jun Mei tea, handed it to Lu Xi, and after smelling it, stood still.
"I know when your temperature comes up," Lu Xiwen said softly.
Pei Wu's heart sank, but she still said good-naturedly, "If you really don't like it that much, I'll take it back with me in a bit."
“You can’t take it with you,” Lu Xiwen replied. “It belongs here.”
As if to confirm Lu Xiwen's words, the entity lightly leaped onto the windowsill in two steps, and under Pei Wu's astonished gaze, pushed open the sliding window, nimbly slipped through the small gap, and disappeared in a few moments.
"it……"
“I already told you, his hideout is here,” Lu Xiwen said.
“I see.” Pei Wu’s tone softened, as if the intimacy between the two in the room earlier was all an illusion.
In an instant, Pei Wu thought of many things, and ultimately, it was probably because he had crossed the line.
A top-tier Alpha prioritizes Omega over Beta.
Perhaps Lu Xiwen had feelings for him before, but after getting to know him, she found that it wasn't the feeling she wanted.
Lu Xiwen's annoyance and indifference were written all over his face, which was a blatant hint.
Pei Wu could understand all of this. Just because he liked someone doesn't mean he had to respond. If all else failed, he could simply maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship with Lu Xiwen in the future.
"I'll go back once I've made the red bean soup." Pei Wu's voice was very soft, with a slight tremor. He felt an unbearable pain wherever the oxygen he breathed passed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiwen jumped up, forgetting all about his unpleasant past, and was shocked by the meaning behind Pei Wu's words.
Why are you going back in this cold weather?
After a moment, Pei Wu smiled and said, "Does President Lu also like to ask questions he already knows the answer to?"
Lu Xiwen could no longer remain calm. He grabbed Pei Wu's shoulder and pulled him to face him, carefully searching for the emotions in the other's eyes. "You know perfectly well what you're asking? What, Pei Wu, you hooked me up first, and now that you've taken the bait, you realize I'm not what you wanted, you're planning to kick me to the curb?"
Pei Wu: "???"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible!" Lu Xiwen's face darkened, and his voice rose. "Adults are responsible for their actions! You...you wanted my first kiss." He lowered his voice for the last sentence: "Run? Don't even think about it!"
Pei Wu blinked, genuinely feeling that sometimes their thought processes were very different.
"Didn't you look gloomy?" Pei Wu said slowly, "I thought you had changed your mind..."
Lu Xiwen paused, then frowned: "What does this have to do with anything else?"
"So your unhappiness has nothing to do with me? Is it because of Tuanzi?"
"Tuanzi?" Lu Xiwen's eyes widened.
"It was called at the last minute, doesn't it sound good?"
Lu Xiwen: "..."
"It's so beautiful, it must be a princess."
"Not a princess, but a male..."
Never mind, it's all a small matter.
Lu Xiwen didn't dwell on this. He stepped forward and gently embraced Pei Wu.
Pei Wu instinctively raised her arms and hugged him. "What happened?"
Lu Xiwen never showed weakness, but when facing Pei Wu, this restraint seemed less firm, and he actually felt a little urge to confide in her. "I remembered some unpleasant things from the past, which I can't tell you right now."
I won't ask any further questions.
"Pei Wu." Lu Xiwen felt a ripple of emotion, a tingling, itchy feeling, "What are we?"
Considering that Lu Xiwen not only had zero practical experience, but his brain structure was also designed to shield him from unnecessary emotions in order to work more efficiently, Pei Wu said gently, "The stage of being moved."
Shouldn't kissing be a way of confirming a relationship?
"Too fast." Pei Wu pushed Alpha away slightly and said seriously, "Lu Xiwen, we haven't really gotten to know each other properly. I was comforting you just now because I was worried that you would lose control during your vulnerable period."
Do you know Pei Wu? Lu Xiwen was eager to try. Thinking of this, he suddenly walked to the entrance hall, rummaged through one of the cabinets for a while, and took out a card.
