Chapter 65: Every word I say to you is from the heart

Until the door closed again, Colonel Huo leaned against it, thinking about Ji He's appearance in his mind.

"I don't want to like you anymore."

Ji He's eyes were bright, and he said this with tears in his eyes.

Huo Yubai was suddenly at a loss because of this sentence. He didn't think that Ji He would dislike him, so he ran away.

"I don't seem to know what to do..." Alpha closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

At first, all he wanted was for Ji He to live well.

But he only now realized how greedy he was. He still hoped that Ji He would like and love him as before.

Colonel Huo, who walked out of Lieutenant Ji's ward, looked like a big dog drenched by the rain, ferocious and pitiful.

“Beep beep—”

The computer reminded Huo Yubai to go get the medical report, and he then had a reaction other than disappointment.

In the clinic, Zhong Wenxi raised his head and looked at Colonel Huo in front of him.

Dr. Zhong wore a mask, revealing only a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes. He inquired about Alpha's condition in detail and prescribed corresponding medications based on the examination results.

"Hmm." In response to the doctor's question, Colonel Huo's answer was too brief and perfunctory, which made Zhong Wenxi a little angry.

So she said a few more words.

"Ascle told me about your situation. Heart disease needs heart medicine."

"But you don't care about your body. What do you want?"

Hearing this, Colonel Huo raised his eyes slightly and looked towards Zhong Wenxi with a still indifferent gaze.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhong."

Zhong Wenxi frowned slightly, and then softened her tone and continued, "You don't need to apologize to me. I just hope you can pay more attention to your health, both physically and mentally."

Colonel Huo leaned back in his chair, lowered his head slightly, and silence spread.

Just when Dr. Zhong thought the other party would not answer her, she heard Alpha speak.

"I like someone very much, but he doesn't want to believe me anymore."

"I am in pain, very much pain."

“Is there any medicine in this world that can solve this problem?”

"I don't think so."

Huo Yubai's eyes were dim, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face, but one could still sense his powerlessness.

Zhong Wenxi lowered her eyes, unconsciously sliding the diagnostic system, and continued: "To like someone or to be liked by someone is a very happy thing in itself."

"If the colonel wants to fight for it, then try and do it, so that he can clearly see you and feel your efforts."

"No matter what the outcome is, don't leave any regrets."

Huo Yubai's originally anxious mood was relieved to a certain extent. He slowly stood up and nodded to Dr. Zhong.

"thank you."

Doctor Zhong shook his head slowly and said with a smile, "You're welcome."

Omega glanced at the waiting number in the diagnostic system, realized that Alpha was his last patient of the day, and stood up as well.

"Colonel Huo?"

"Um?"

Dr. Zhong took off his white coat, hung it in the sterilization cabinet, and said, "I wanted to thank you for what happened before."

"I'll treat you to a meal."

Colonel Huo pursed his lips and said, "I just did what I should do. No need to thank me."

As for the idea of ​​eating alone, he felt something was wrong, so he didn't agree to it.

The original doctor-patient atmosphere between the two became a little awkward because of Zhong Wenxi's invitation.

Omega lowered his head, rubbed the back of his neck in annoyance, and explained, "I will be going to other planets for medical assistance, not on the capital planet anymore."

“That’s why…”

Zhong Wenxi bit her lip and said, "I was rude."

Colonel Huo looked at Dr. Zhong again. The two kept a certain distance from each other. He could faintly smell a hint of honey-flavored pheromones.

The man's voice fell heavily from above and floated into her ears.

"Do you want something?"

Zhong Wenxi raised his head slightly, took off his mask, and said "hmm".

"Just think of it as doing it for me."

"good."

When the Alpha in military uniform and the Omega in casual clothes stand together, it looks like a pairing only seen in an AO-themed TV series. They are really a perfect match.

In the corridor, Ji He and Gu Chaowen were walking side by side. When they saw this scene, they paused and fell behind Alpha.

Huo Yubai bumped into Ji He's cold eyes, which were clearly black and white, and moved his lips, about to explain.

"Colonel Huo, Doctor Zhong."

Ji He nodded in greeting, and there was nothing wrong with his attitude.

Gu Chaowen, who was standing by, noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and came out to smooth things over with a smile, saying, "Dr. Zhong, long time no see."

"You have an outpatient clinic today. I would have come to see a doctor earlier."

Zhong Wenxi smiled faintly and replied, "Lieutenant Gu, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Chaowen blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and replied, "I have been feeling unwell these past two days due to the change of seasons."

"Do you think I have seasonal allergies?"

Doctor Zhong thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "It is possible."

"By the way, I'm inviting Colonel Huo to dinner. How about the two lieutenants come together?"

Lieutenant Ji at the side raised his eyes to look at Colonel Huo, said nothing, and said lightly: "I am a little tired."

When Ji He passed by Huo Yubai, someone grabbed his wrist and he could no longer move. He struggled twice.

Beta frowned slightly and raised his chin to look at Alpha. The two of them seemed to be still, but they were secretly competing with each other.

The action of holding the wrist cannot be called ambiguous, but it implies the extreme desire for restraint and control.

These two desires confront each other, neither giving in.

Huo Yubai wanted to hold the other person's hand, but he reluctantly settled for the next best thing. The strength of the clamp was just right, and he didn't dare to tighten or loosen it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the warmth from Beta's wrist continued to come over without stopping.

Gu Chaowen stopped talking nonsense and looked at the two people who were in a stalemate, as if he was enjoying a good show.

"Doctor Zhong invited Colonel Huo to dinner, so I won't join in the fun."

Ji He's voice was faint, but it made Huo Yubai frown.

Doctor Zhong at the side came to his senses and shifted his gaze away from Colonel Huo's forbearing face. He had already understood who the person Alpha loved but could not be with was.

The next second, she stood up generously and said softly: "I am here to thank Colonel Huo for what happened before. Both of you are very important people to the colonel. Wouldn't it be better for you to go together?"

"What do you think, Lieutenant Gu?"

After Zhong Wenxi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chaowen who was watching the excitement, hoping that he could cooperate with him.

Lieutenant Gu, who always lived up to expectations in such matters, continued to smooth things over, saying, "That's great."

Since Lieutenant Gu said so, Ji He couldn't refuse everyone's face, so he lowered his eyes and agreed.

The Zhong family started out in the pharmaceutical business, but they also own a special restaurant that specializes in high-end medicinal cuisine.

The restaurant is not very big and is close to South Bay. The overall decoration is classical and elegant, and there are not many tables of customers.

At the corner of the wooden escalator, there was a bottle of medicinal liquor.

Gu Chaowen reached out and flicked at the glass wine bottle as tall as a person that contained various medicinal herbs, and exclaimed, "How many rare treasures must have been soaked in this."

Doctor Zhong smiled and replied modestly, "They are not rare treasures, but just different tonic herbs. It took some effort to find them."

Gu Chaowen turned around and looked at Ji He, smiling and said, "You have just recovered from a long illness, so it is most appropriate for you to take some supplements."

Ji He nodded, put his fingers on his red wrist and rubbed it.

On the dining table, one exquisite and precious medicinal dish after another was served.

The manager here will introduce each dish, and people will be confused by what they hear, but anyway, it is good for the body.

Ji He sat between Colonel Huo and Lieutenant Gu, facing Zhong Wenxi who was sitting in the main seat.

Gu Chaowen kept talking and talked about the interesting things that happened during their field training on Barnard Star.

When the dishes were halfway through, the manager filled each guest's cup with a different kind of health-preserving medicinal wine.

Ji He looked at the light brown wine in the small glass and took a sip. It tasted better than he had imagined.

It tastes a bit spicy at first, but has a sweet aftertaste with a hint of grass and wood.

He had a normal appetite, so he only picked a few dishes that looked light, took a few bites, and then put down his chopsticks.

"Sorry, take your time eating, I'm going to the bathroom."

Colonel Huo's attention was always on Ji He, watching him slowly pull out his chair and walk out.

Soon, the manager came in again and introduced the signature dish to them: "This Eight Treasures Soup mainly uses..."

Huo Yubai lowered his eyes to look at the wine in the glass, drank it all, and then said: "I have something to deal with, you continue."

Almost as soon as Ji He left, Colonel Huo found an excuse to leave the box.

The spacious and bright bathroom has the aroma of sage.

Ji He took his hand off the induction faucet, shook off the water, looked up and saw Huo Yubai in the mirror.

"Jihe."

"There is nothing between me and Dr. Zhong, please don't misunderstand me."

He frowned slightly, slowly loosened his bitten lower lip, and replied in a cold voice: "Colonel, you don't need to explain to me."

"I can no longer tell whether what you say is true or false."

Ji He didn't turn around, still looking at Huo Yubai's face through the mirror.

The man was not wearing a military uniform. Instead, he was wearing a custom-made suit that wrapped around his body. He was walking towards him step by step.

"From the moment you woke up, I meant every word I said."

Ji He blinked and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

"So what was the Colonel's mood when he treated me before?"

"What would have happened if the spaceship hadn't had an accident? What if I really disappeared from this world?"

Ji He turned her head, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and her voice rose a notch.

"What kind of existence am I to the Colonel?"

Doubts piled up one after another, causing the suppressed emotions to burst out.

Huo Yubai reached out to hug him, but was pushed away. With red eyes, he replied, "I like you, but I didn't know it at that time."

"That time I thought you were killed, my heart had already died with you."

Alpha said this while pointing his finger at his heart with a painful expression.

"I just realized how important you are to me."

"Ji He, do you still think I don't need to explain to you?"

The two lines of sight collided violently.

Huo Yubai stepped forward again, and a shadow fell on Ji He's face.
