Chapter 103 You're looking at me
Lin Yao's surgery lasted a long time.
Despite being under general anesthesia and supposed to be unable to feel pain, he felt as if he had returned to that laboratory, experiencing pain, struggle, and resistance.
"Inject and monitor the response."
"Rapid breathing, a surge in hormones, elevated body temperature, and fainting."
"The patient is in shock; defibrillation is initiated."
......
The sound drifted further and further away. Lin Yao closed his eyes tightly and trembled uncontrollably as if in a stress response.
Various fragments flashed through my mind, and before me was that smiling face, with deep brows and eyes, staring intently at me.
"Lin, what a coincidence."
"Lin Yao, there will be someone who loves you more than anything."
"Yaoyao, teach me."
"Yaoyao, you look so cute when you blush."
"Lin Yao, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Lin, I really, really like you."
.........
"Heart rate has returned to normal, injections can continue, and debridement can proceed." Cheng Shu looked at the zigzag line on the instrument next to him and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yao was in a coma for three days and was receiving treatment in a nutrient pod.
After Xie Xingchen had his blood drawn, he had to have his limbs bound to ensure he wouldn't harm himself.
Yun Qing stood at the entrance of the ward, her lips pursed, her breathing uneven: "Now it's all right, you've got your son in, are you happy now?"
Xie Hengzhi has been busy with public relations these past few days and is extremely annoyed: "How was I supposed to know he could jump on Lin Yao's bandwagon? Where did this guy inherit his love-struck brain?"
“If anything happens to Xingchen, I’ll never forgive you.” Yun Qing lowered her voice. “Didn’t I tell you that now is not the right time to explode? You insisted on choosing this moment just to suppress that stupid runaway wedding news. Your face is more important than anything else.”
Xie Hengzhi kept his lips pursed and remained silent.
After a while, he turned to look into the ward, his eyes darkening: "I will handle this after this incident is over."
"You're not going to handle anything."
Yun Qing glared at him and reminded him, "Pei Yizhong's behavior towards Lin Yao is abnormal; he's not like a godfather at all. Yesterday, I took a sample of the hair that Pei Yizhong had left behind, and guess what? It was Lin Yao. He's not dead. If this gets out, you know the consequences."
Xie Hengzhi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "The lab records have been destroyed, so who else could have them? What does it matter if they are or aren't? It's not important anymore."
Seeing Xie Xingchen open his eyes in the isolation room, Yun Qing took a deep breath, put on a kind expression, and went in: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Not bad." Xie Xingchen moved his lips, lowering his voice, "How's Lin Yao?"
"The rejection reaction just passed. He woke up for a while at noon and then fell asleep again." Yun Qing paused and said in a low voice, "Son, I won't stop you from finding anyone you want, but Lin Yao is the only exception."
It's utterly baffling.
Xie Xingchen laughed in exasperation: "Why is it that he's the only one who can't be? He's your son? Can't we mess around with each other?"
"You're getting more and more ridiculous." Yun Qing didn't know how to explain it to him, so she just said, "Our family and his family have an irreconcilable feud that can't be resolved and can't be resolved. If Lin Yao finds out, he probably won't stay with you anymore."
Xie Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at him intently.
I almost blurted out, "Does Lin Yao's experiment have anything to do with you?"
But asking won't help; they won't admit it, there's no evidence.
Yun Qing said softly, "I know it's rare for you to fall in love with someone, but there's nothing I can do. It means you two aren't meant to be. Break it off now that your feelings aren't too deep."
Xie Xingchen remained silent.
If the experiment were truly related to his own family, how would Lin Yao react?
His palms were sweaty, and he was unsettled by the speculation: "Was this sudden outbreak of pheromone infection man-made or a natural disaster?"
Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said gently, "I don't know, we're still investigating."
Xie Xingchen knew he wouldn't get any information out of her. He twisted his wrist, revealing bluish-purple marks from the bandages that had been securing it. "Can you loosen them for me? My hand hurts."
"Don't hurt yourself." Yun Qing helped him untie the clothes. "If you want one, I'll go find an Omega for you."
Xie Xingchen stretched his aching arms and said in a low voice, "No, I want to sleep. Please leave."
I really can't sleep. I've been locked up in the quarantine area for the past few days and haven't been able to see anyone. I've only been able to get information from other people.
He picked up his phone from the bedside table and, as usual, sent a report to Lin Yao.
【xxc】: I'm awake, feeling a bit stuffy. I feel a bit better today than yesterday. I want to French kiss.
While we were eating earlier, I sent some messages, but of course, none of them were read or replied to.
[xxc]: My chest feels a little tight. Director Cheng said you're amazing and very strong. I'll come find you when you wake up.
[xxc]: The vulnerable period is so hard to endure. I had three injections of sedatives and three injections of inhibitors today. I feel like throwing up.
【xxc】： Time to wake up, baby. You've been sleeping for too long, you lazy pig.
[xxc]: Lin Yao, are you regretting agreeing to play dead with me? That won't do! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!
[xxc]: I have good news for you. Because I bravely saved you, Uncle Pei's attitude towards me has improved a bit.
[xxc]: I can't sleep at night. I hear He Li crying outside. If you don't wake up, he'll cry himself blind.
......
Xie Xingchen casually browsed the internet and was about to put it back when his phone vibrated.
【01】: I woke up
Xie Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Qing talking to Director Cheng outside the door.
He looked down and called Cheng Boyan, saying, "I need your help urgently."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Boyan had been busy analyzing samples these past two days and hadn't been getting enough sleep, so he was extremely tired. "Are you feeling any better?"
"Lin Yao is awake, I need to go see him." Xie Xingchen stared at the door of the quarantine area. "My dad and your dad are here, can you help get them out of here?"
Cheng Boyan raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "How am I supposed to get rid of them? Knock them out on the spot? Do you think they're He Li, that you'd believe them just because they're being lied to?"
“No, I have to go over there. My wife is calling me.” Xie Xingchen stared out the window, thinking. “I’ll climb out the window. Just tell them not to come in.”
Cheng Boyan's temples throbbed as he heard this: "Sixth floor, aren't you afraid of falling and dying?"
Xie Xingchen is a man of exceptional action. As he said this, he was already surveying the terrain. It was right next door; it wouldn't be difficult—just a matter of grabbing the window and swaying back and forth.
"Quickly, come over and get them away. Half an hour will do," he whispered.
"I'm really impressed with you." Cheng Boyan got up from the lounge, wandered around the Harmony Lane in his slippers, strolled to the isolation area as if he were in his own garden, threw his phone into his pocket without hanging up, and called out, "Uncle Yun, you haven't rested yet."
"Yes, I'm discussing Xingchen's treatment plan with your dad," Yun Qing replied.
Cheng Boyan glanced at the ward out of the corner of his eye. Xie Xingchen met his gaze for a second before turning and disappearing out the window. He said, "I'm not doing biological research; I'm just conducting my own sample experiments. Could you take a look at them for me?"
“Sure, it’s good that you’re interested.” Yun Qing smiled. “Then I’ll go and take a look. Director Xing Chen, please keep an eye on things.”
"Okay." Director Cheng looked up and was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin.
Stare at him, and he's all gone.
He exchanged a glance with Cheng Boyan for a second, and instantly understood. Cheng Boyan was helping to cover for him. How clever.
Xie Xingchen climbed over into Lin Yao's isolation room.
In just a few days, he looked even paler, his beautiful pupils seemed to have lost their color, but they suddenly lit up again the moment he saw me.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Xie Xingchen tiptoed over and sat on the edge of the bed. "I climbed in through the window."
Lin Yao's gaze swept greedily across his face, landing on his wrist, and he became serious: "What happened to your hand?"
"He was tied up. He became agitated after being infected, and sedatives alone weren't enough."
Xie Xingchen brushed aside his three difficult days, jokingly saying, "Don't worry, I didn't find another Omega behind your back."
Lin Yao couldn't laugh.
He knew that Xie Xingchen's pain was more than ten times that of other Alphas, not to mention that after infection, all of his senses would be amplified infinitely.
"Isn't it agonizing?" Lin Yao's gaze moved down from his face.
Xie Xingchen reached out and covered his eyes.
His face was small, but his hands were large, almost completely covering his face.
He threatened in a low voice, "I can't take your staring right now, I'll lose control."
Lin Yao tilted his head back, and his lips touched Lin Yao's.
"Yaoyao, stop fooling around."
Xie Xingchen was absolutely furious. She tightened her grip on his fingers, preventing him from moving: "Your body is very weak right now."
Lin Yao grabbed his hand, his lips moving from his palm to his wrist, landing on the bruised wrist.
His eyes were filled with heartache.
"Xie Xingchen, how about I..."
Xie Xingchen saw through his intentions and called him by his full name in a low voice: "Lin Yao, you are my boyfriend, not a tool for venting your frustrations."
Lin Yao tightened his lips, then relaxed them.
Without saying a word, she stubbornly reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him over.
“I want to help you,” he murmured. “Now I understand why you didn’t mind getting dirty last time on Rose Star.”
Xie Xingchen didn't dare to push him hard, feeling both angry and irritable, so she gently pinched his chin.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Do you think I'm such a beast that I can't even tolerate you right after you woke up?"
Lin Yao hesitated, then said, "You clearly..."
Xie Xingchen gave him a fierce kiss.
She grabbed his wrist with one hand and pulled him up.
“…”
