Lu Jin'an had actually thought about this question before, but now that her mother had brought it up, she suddenly realized it.
Perhaps what I want is not as simple as just a partner.
Today, Jiang Jiyang also asked himself whether his concern about Gu Zhilin's disappearance stemmed from worry about losing his partner or...
He understands his own thoughts very well; he's managed to get by all these years without a partner.
But... if something really happens to Gu Zhilin, and I never see him again, then...
He dared not think about it too much, afraid that he would lose control.
Seeing her son's expression, Cen Xin guessed he had figured things out, so she continued to look at the man in the isolation room.
"Your dad said this child is very outstanding."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an finally showed her first faint smile of the day: "He is very outstanding."
“Since he is such an outstanding child, you must protect him well, lest you regret it later,” Ms. Cen said softly.
Then she said, "This was before when I was a beta, but now I've suddenly differentiated into an omega. I don't know if I'll be able to accept this when I come to my senses..."
“He’s not that fragile, and… he’s just as outstanding regardless of gender,” Lu Jin’an interrupted.
"And regardless of gender, he will be my partner, my teammate, my..."
companion.
Lu Jin'an added two words in her mind.
Seeing this, Ms. Cen couldn't help but smile: "It's good that you've made up your mind. Take good care of him. I'll have your dad ask you to take a few days off."
Lu Jin'an looked at her mother with some surprise. Her parents didn't discipline her much, as they had been dedicated to their posts for many years.
So I've almost always taken care of myself since I was a child.
Later, he joined the military, and he didn't have many opportunities to see his parents.
I never expected that I would see my mother again after just a few days of seeing my father.
More importantly, both of them are very strict with their work, and I never expected them to ask for leave for me because of this.
“Don’t treat your parents like emotionless monsters. He needs you in his current situation, and... you need him too, don’t you?” After saying that, Ms. Cen stepped forward and hugged her son.
"Alright, Mom's going back now. You stay here and take good care of him." With that, Ms. Cen turned and left.
Although the mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't show any signs of reluctance.
When Gu Zhilin regained consciousness, he had already received the inhibitor that Zhou Muyun had prescribed for him.
Because it represents a sudden differentiation among ancient people, the ingredients of the inhibitors are somewhat different from those of ordinary inhibitors on the market.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Zhilin looked at Zhou Muyun with some difficulty: "Does that mean my inhibitors are harder to buy and more expensive?"
Zhou Muyun never expected that Gu Zhilin, after his sudden split, would be worried about this one.
I was both annoyed and amused at the same time.
"What are you worried about? With General Lu around, are you worried about not being able to afford inhibitors?" he joked.
Gu Zhilin tilted his head in confusion: "What does this have to do with Lu Jin'an?"
"I forgot, you were already out of your mind when you differentiated. You probably don't remember how you clung to General Lu's clothes when you had a hot flash, or how you pestered General Lu for his pheromones."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it; once he did, Gu Zhilin felt both ashamed and embarrassed.
Just as he was about to dive into the cup, Lu Jin'an entered the room.
This was the first room Lu Jin'an had been allowed to enter in the past two days, and he saw that the person on the bed was blushing.
Seeing the person deliberately avoid eye contact after seeing me, I couldn't help but find them inexplicably adorable.
He cleared his throat to make his voice sound less hoarse: "Are you alright?"
Gu Zhilin nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Thank you this time."
After saying that, she remembered, "Where are Wen Yifan and the others? They must be worried sick about me now that I've been arrested."
The first person this person asked after regaining consciousness was another man, which made Lu Jin'an somewhat unhappy.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and simply said, "They know about your situation, but they can't just come into the life research base. You'll be able to see them when you get better and return to the club."
Gu Zhilin nodded: "It's good that they know I'm safe now."
"You really scared everyone this time." Lu Jin'an's voice trembled slightly. Actually, he wanted to say that he was almost scared to death, but he was afraid of scaring Gu Zhilin.
Gu Zhilin touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly: "It's my fault for not being vigilant enough. How are Zheng Ying and Li Sang?"
Mentioning these two, Lu Jin'an's face darkened: "Zheng Ying has been handed over to the Alliance Court for kidnapping Earth citizens to control the competition, and as for Li Sang..."
The man's eyes darkened: "He used the Li family's resources to exonerate himself, but don't worry, although he shifted the blame to Zheng Ying, the military won't let him off so easily."
Gu Zhilin understood that the military would not make things difficult for the four major families just because he was an ordinary citizen, and a person from ancient times.
Lu Jin'an must have done something during this.
He could only express his gratitude.
"Thank you so much this time."
Zhou Muyun felt a pang of jealousy looking at the two of them. Seeing that they had no intention of acknowledging her, she simply left the room to avoid seeing them.
Seeing Zhou Muyun leave, Lu Jin'an picked up the water glass next to her and handed it to Gu Zhilin: "Have some water, your lips look a little dry."
Gu Zhilin subconsciously touched his lips, not knowing why the atmosphere that had finally eased up now felt awkward again.
"Oh right, the aircraft game competition," Gu Zhilin suddenly thought.
Lu Jin'an's eyes dimmed as he sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed: "The aircraft competition is the day after tomorrow, but your current condition is not suitable for you to go out, so... Shen Guannan has decided to give up this aircraft competition."
"How could this happen..." Gu Zhilin never expected that after being rescued with great difficulty, he still couldn't participate in the competition.
“However, the ‘Natural Barrier’ club was also punished as a result, and they will not participate in the competition,” Lu Jin’an continued.
But Gu Zhilin was still dejected and said in a low voice, "Boss Shen spent a lot of money to build this club, hoping to make a name for himself with this championship. Now it seems that won't work."
Lu Jin'an found his expression somewhat amusing: "You're still worried about him? I haven't even settled the score with him for losing you."
"How can this be considered him losing me? And what's the point of you asking him for a score?" Gu Zhilin pouted.
"Don't worry, the military has made this public, so the 'Beauty Club's' reputation hasn't declined because of the withdrawal; in fact, it's increased. Boss Shen won't lose out. As for why I'm the one settling accounts with him, it's because he lost my partner." The man's eyes never left Gu Zhilin.
