Chapter 65 If it's comfortable, just say so.
Even if Lin Yao is naive, he's not completely clueless.
Even though I've been shocked by this person's frank and bold remarks many times before, I'm still shocked.
"What else can we do together?"
He felt the cool temperature on his forehead, but his body temperature was still high.
Her nose touched Xie Xingchen's wrist, and she slightly raised her head, catching a whiff of agave.
One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.
But Xie Xingchen was still clinging to his own weakness and didn't want to bring it up.
So all I could do was quietly lift my chin a little higher to stealthily absorb the essence.
“There’s a lot to do.” Xie Xingchen raised his hand and took another cold towel to replace it.
Because of the sudden departure, Lin Yao lowered his chin slightly, a hint of displeasure at being interrupted: "For example?"
Fighting, brawling, hurling insults at each other, physical training, getting injured—none of these are realistic.
Xie Xingchen lowered his eyes, his tone no longer joking: "For example, let's have a proper discussion about how to handle the situation if you go through a sensitive period and I can't mark you a third time."
Lin Yao remained silent for several seconds before saying, "Shouldn't we be discussing how to suppress the blood plague and find its source?"
“This matter can’t be rushed. If it were that simple, even though the Desolate Star is in decline, Pei Yizhong is still a general. He hasn’t been able to find the reason for this for all these years. Do you think we can break the deadlock so easily?” Xie Xingchen analyzed.
Lin Yao hummed in agreement, his thoughts clear, and said, "Then hurry up and collect the air concentration and odor data from the preparation area, and also draw a few tubes of my blood samples. They'll definitely come in handy."
He kept smelling an odor, like some kind of controlling inducement.
"We've got the same idea. I've already had someone collect the data."
Xie Xingchen swiped open his phone screen and showed it to him, as if to show off his achievement.
The above is the report on the blood sample he arranged to be airlifted back to the capital. He worked overtime to produce the results during the few hours Lin Yao was unconscious.
“I didn’t tell Director Cheng about the aftereffects of the experiment, but based on the hormone levels in your blood, he judged that you would gradually enter a stress period, which is also the reason for your persistent high fever.”
He said with concern, "You'll have some minor symptoms in the next few days, but you can probably hold on. In another week, you'll enter a more difficult-to-control phase."
Since differentiating into an Omega, thanks to the inhibitors and Xie Xingchen's marking, Lin Yao hasn't experienced much stress-related pain, except for the very first day.
This time, I came out because I needed to overcome the shadow left by the experiment. I didn't expect that one bad thing after another would happen.
Seeing the report results, Lin Yao had a terrible headache.
"Can't we use inhibitors?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he twitched his nose and sniffed Xie Xingchen's wrist.
She couldn't help but look up and lean closer to him, like a kitten smelling catnip.
Xie Xingchen observed his movements and gently reassured him, "I don't know, and I don't know any Omegas who have had this experience. I'm just telling you in advance so you can prepare."
Lin Yao hummed in agreement, thinking to himself that there was nothing else he could do but tough it out.
Xie Xingchen's illness is so serious that it flares up every few days, but he can still endure it. His willpower is also quite strong, and he will definitely be able to pull through.
I just feel sleepy right now, and my eyelids feel heavy.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay here with you, I won't leave."
Xie Xingchen held a towel in one hand and draped it over his forehead, while lazily scrolling through his phone with the other to pass the time.
Lin Yao closed his eyes, feeling comfortable and safe, and soon fell asleep again.
He Li and Cheng Boyan came over during the day to relieve Xie Xingchen, who had stayed up all night, so he could go back to catch up on sleep. The shift change made it seem like Xie Xingchen was critically ill.
"You really don't need to come with me, it's just a minor injury to my arm." Lin Yao said nonchalantly, even feeling that staying in the hospital for a few days was a bit unnecessary.
He was actually more interested in what the post-war zone was like and why it could cause people to lose control like that.
He Li pointed the camera at that face with a serious expression: "Say that sentence again. It would be perfect as the opening sequence for this trip to the desolate planet. It would be awesome."
Lin Yao: ".........."
He Li held the camera lens, its light flashing, and whispered, "Speak."
"My injuries were so severe, I almost died here." Lin Yao started rambling incoherently.
He Li thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too. It highlights the brutality of this battle. Combined with the horrific scenes I recorded after the battle, the title could be: 'A life-or-death battle that shocked 30 million people, with rivers of blood flowing.'"
Lin Yao: ".........."
This guy has such a talent for directing; it's a waste of his talent for him to come to the Comprehensive Warfare Academy.
Cheng Boyan, on the other hand, had been thoroughly beaten in his first real battle and was not in high spirits.
He looked utterly dejected: "It's so bloody and brutal. Even Lin Yao got injured. Who gave me the courage to come through the back door?"
"But you're tough. I discovered your strengths yesterday. You got knocked down three times and still got back up. You're so resilient." He Li gave him a thumbs up.
Cheng Boyan gave a slight, lifeless smile and said, "Thank you so much."
Lin Yao thought of the blood plague and the vast and complex network of relationships behind it. If he could find someone he could truly trust, he could entrust himself, the surviving experimental subject, to that person for research.
However, a trustworthy researcher has not yet been found.
He moved his lips and suggested, "If you're not suited for real combat, why don't you consider transferring to medical school to do research? Chongqing has the opportunity to change departments before the end of the first semester."
"I really did have that plan. I originally had a dream of being a hero charging into battle, but I found that some people are just not suitable for the front line. This time I have experienced it firsthand, and my dream has been shattered."
Cheng Boyan sighed, "I'll fill out the application when I get back. My dad's here at home, so the process will be quick."
He Li turned his head, looked at him for a moment, and rarely showed a troubled expression: "I haven't decided what to study yet. The Comprehensive Warfare Academy is not suitable for me. It is only suitable for talents like Brother Yao and Xie Gou who can beat people in all aspects. Duan Zheng, that idiot, is barely acceptable. He has to be able to fight."
"Oh, you've grown up, starting to think about your studies." Cheng Boyan reached out and patted his head.
"You're so annoying." He Li hit him with the camera.
Lin Yao looked at the equipment in his hand: "You're really suited to be a reporter. You can run and take pictures. Aren't you a running prodigy? You can just run away without getting caught."
"You're calling me a deserter!" He Li angrily pressed the shutter, looking at Lin Yao in the lens, and exclaimed, "He's so handsome even when he's sick, so good-looking."
Lin Yao stared at him, lost in thought.
Xie Xingchen stayed with him all night, changing the ice towels repeatedly, but his body temperature still didn't completely go down.
His palms were burning hot; he felt both hot and stuffy.
Seeing that the two people in front of him had no intention of leaving and were still chatting while eating fruit, Lin Yao became a little nervous.
"It's almost evening, call Xie Xingchen over to relieve you."
Having no other choice, Lin Yao had to tell them to leave.
In a few more minutes, it will probably explode completely.
"You actually want to thank Gou Pei? You've really changed." He Li's eyes widened in disbelief.
Lin Yao awkwardly made an excuse: "No, it's just that I found an opportunity to make use of him, so I have to use him to my fullest."
The two men actually believed this flimsy excuse, nodding repeatedly and saying they would bring the person over immediately.
After everyone left, Lin Yao used a towel to wipe away the sweat that had seeped into his skin.
Xie Xingchen's reminder yesterday was correct. The aftereffects of the blood epidemic have brought about a long period of sensitivity. This is just the beginning, only the beginning.
He threw off the covers, got out of bed, took off his hospital gown and tossed it aside by the sink before going into the bathroom.
With bandaged wounds on his hands, he had no choice but to remove the showerhead and turn the temperature down to the lowest setting.
He rinsed himself for ten minutes, and amidst the sound of water, he heard the sound of the ward door opening.
"Lin Yao?" It was Xie Xingchen speaking.
"Wait a minute, I'm taking a shower." Lin Yao's voice was very soft, and it was unclear whether he could hear her. He simply turned the shower on to the highest setting.
Are you feeling unwell?
Xie Xingchen reached out and pressed the doorknob, saying in a low voice, "I'm coming in, the whole house smells."
Even with a 100% match, Xie Xingchen wasn't having an easy time.
He pushed open the door and saw the wet Omega standing under the shower.
"Don't get the wound wet." Xie Xingchen quickly went over and took the showerhead.
Without the cold water, Lin Yao frowned, grabbed his wrist with his other hand, and pushed him to the side.
"I helped you before, so it's time for you to reciprocate."
They still retain some rationality and know how to exchange.
Xie Xingchen hummed in agreement, pinned against the wall by him: "How can I help?"
Lin Yao gripped the man's wrist, his face contorted with a violent rage as if he were about to beat him to a pulp: "Give me... some reassurance, that's all."
He rarely makes requests on his own initiative.
But at this moment, his eyes were downcast and moist, and he really wanted to be bullied.
Xie Xingchen paused for a second, then pinned him against the cold wall.
"Don't do anything unnecessary." Lin Yao turned his head away and said unhappily.
Xie Xingchen bent his knee and nudged him lightly, implying, "Simply offering comfort won't work for you."
Lin Yao tried to push his hand away, struggling and resisting, but he couldn't move it.
The Alpha's innate sense of dominance was on full display at this moment.
"It's not the first time, what's there to be shy about?"
Xie Xingchen lowered his head and gently bit his red earlobe: "If it feels good, just breathe it out. I like to hear it."
