Chapter 34
Lou Yue sat on the exclusive beach of Meng Villa. The sound of waves drowned out the discussions coming from inside the building.
All members of the Meng family were there, including Meng Shuyi's parents, grandparents, and grandparents-in-law. The entire Lou family also came to visit. The blood drawing incident could not be concealed after all, and the marriage between the two families was in jeopardy.
The morning sunlight was not glaring, and Lou Yue didn't even open his parasol, letting the bright sunlight shine on him.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyue, it's all my fault."
The building next to him spoke.
He was still wearing long sleeves and a blanket draped over his legs.
Compared with Lou Yue, he seemed to be afraid of the sun, so he sat under an umbrella not far away.
Wave after wave of seawater wet Lou Yue's instep, and Lou Yue smiled and said:
"What are you talking about, brother? Without you, there would be no me."
He turned around and went back to Lou Yu, knelt on one knee, and tucked the blanket up for Lou Yu.
Lou Yu stared at Lou Yue's hair, raised his hand to touch it, but ultimately did not do so.
His eyes flashed with an unknown light, and he continued, "It's better to cancel the wedding, what do you think? You were still young, and I didn't agree to this marriage in the first place. It's a pity that my parents..."
"Brother." Lou Yue looked up at Lou Yu, stopping him from speaking any further.
"Mom and Dad have their own difficulties."
He still smiled, stood up, shook his hair, looked into the distance and said calmly: "I just hope everyone is fine. You and your parents are safe, and Brother Qiu is safe too."
"Xiao Yue." Lou Yu suddenly grabbed Lou Yue's wrist.
At the same time, Meng Shuyi's voice came over: "Lou Yue."
Lou Yu let go, and Lou Yue turned his attention to Meng Shuyi.
I saw that behind Meng Shuyi were the two brothers Lu Cheng and Lu Liang.
"Brother Lou Yue, Brother Lou Yu." Lu Liangxian called them sweetly.
"Why are you here?" Lou Yue knew that the other party was Wen Qiu's Omega brother. Given the relationship between the two families, they did meet often.
But marriage is also a family matter, so why are the Lu family here at this time?
However, the younger generation didn't care about this. Lu Liang shook his head and said, "Mom and Dad saw that we were bored, so they asked us to come and play with you."
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Meng Shuyi.
So is Lu Cheng.
Lou Yu glanced at the two of them indifferently, then looked at Meng Shuyi.
Meng Shuyi didn't look at anyone else, only at Lou Yue, and said, "I want to talk to you alone."
After saying that, he nodded to others and then walked away on his own.
"...Okay." Lou Yue also followed Meng Shuyi's footsteps and smiled apologetically at the others: "You guys chat first."
"Brother Lou Yue, don't leave!"
Just as Lu Cheng was about to chase him, Lu Liang grabbed him and turned to Lou Yu and said, "Brother Lou Yu, are we hindering you here?"
*
Meng Shuyi stopped only when he reached the shadow under the eaves.
When Lou Yue caught up with him, he raised his foot and walked away again.
"Where are we going?" Lou Yue looked towards the floor-to-ceiling door anxiously.
Meng Shuyi and Lou Yue walked side by side. Hearing this, he did not respond but said, "The wedding will not be cancelled."
Lou Yue: "..."
After the two got engaged, Lou Yue was forced by her adoptive parents to spend more time with Meng Shuyi. After their farewell concert, the two moved in together at the request of their families and have lived together ever since.
Despite this, Lou Yue still didn't understand Meng Shuyi.
Meng Shuyi treated him politely but with a sense of distance, and he thought Meng Shuyi was also dissatisfied with this marriage.
Lou Yue even secretly hoped that if the wedding was cancelled, would he be able to go back to singing again?
So Meng Shuyi's words did not make him happy.
He didn't know how to respond.
In silence, Meng Shuyi said again: "I'm not after your pheromones."
Lou Yue:?
What's the meaning?
"Meng Shuyi," Lou Yue understood for a moment and took the initiative to comfort him, "It's okay if we don't get married. We can still be friends. I can help you anytime."
He knew that Meng Shuyi's illness was extremely torturous, just like a building, incurable and a long-term torment.
This is the price he pays for his current life!
Otherwise, he would just be a wandering orphan. Let alone singing, even having enough food would be a problem...
His thoughts drifted away unconsciously. Lou Yue was full of gratitude for the present, but then he heard Meng Shuyi say in a resounding voice:
"No, that's not it."
Lou Yue responded and looked at Meng Shuyi. Meng Shuyi stopped, faced him, and stared into his eyes.
"Your existence is not for anyone else. The building has its own way of living and should not suck your blood. I also shouldn't use you to treat illnesses. I..."
His eyes flickered and his gaze drifted to the side.
Lou Yue:?
"Anyway, I apologize to you for my family's rudeness. After we get married, if you want to return to the stage, you can do so at any time. Your life should not be sacrificed."
Lou Yue heard "shouldn't" several times. He never thought that Meng Shuyi would actually think about him.
Just when he thought he was about to lose his future, tell him he had freedom.
"Thank you, Shuyi."
Lou Yue spoke very seriously, but Meng Shuyi's ears turned visibly red.
Lou Yue realized something, blinked his eyes, and felt embarrassed.
"Let's go see your friend." Meng Shuyi couldn't stand the silence anymore. He started walking, saying, "It's been three days. The alpha in the susceptible period isn't human. I don't know if the beta can hold on."
After saying this, he suddenly remembered something and his face turned even redder than before.
*
Ji Liao had never felt so uncomfortable before.
He had never been in love in his previous life, so he relied entirely on hearsay and his imagination from reading books.
It’s different from what’s described in the novel. It hurts, it hurts a lot!
Although they experienced a period of incomparable happiness in the middle, the alpha in the susceptible period had no restraint at all, and Ji Liao gradually became physically exhausted, and he began to blur out what happened afterwards.
He didn't know what time it was or what date it was. He only knew that his whole body was sore and he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
"Ji Liao, can you hear me?"
Wen Qiu touched Ji Liao's cheek.
Piping hot.
"Let me sleep for a while." Ji Liao muttered and shrank into the quilt.
The susceptible period finally receded, and Wen Qiu was also surprised at how smoothly it went.
But then the problem arose again.
He helped Ji Liao clean up his body and put on his clothes with great remorse, wanting Ji Liao to have a good rest.
As a result, Ji Liao did not sleep well and hummed from time to time.
Then he noticed that Ji Liao's face turned red.
It turned out that he had a fever.
Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi walked downstairs to the hotel. Meng Shuyi's face returned to normal, but his steps hesitated.
"Don't go upstairs," he said.
Lou Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's okay, I won't be affected."
After he became an adult, although his pheromones seemed to be particularly attractive to other alphas, the alphas' pheromones had no corresponding effect on him.
It was as if he was not born for love.
Meng Shuyi pursed his lips before nodding and saying, "Then let's go together. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately."
Lou Yue had already gone in first, and glanced at her own secrets: "Don't worry."
Wen Qiu used physical methods to cool Ji Liao down. He changed the cold towels again and again, but Ji Liao's temperature did not go down.
Ji Liao was also dazed at this time, and murmured unconsciously: "Wen Qiu, it hurts."
"I'm sorry." Wen Qiu knew Ji Liao couldn't hear him, but he still apologized sincerely: "It's my fault. I'll go call a doctor, and the pain will go away soon."
After wiping the sweat off Ji Liao's forehead, Wen Qiu was about to get up.
"Don't go!" Ji Liao was dizzy from the fever, but he grabbed Wen Qiu's wrist accurately.
Wen Qiu: “…I’m not leaving.”
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door at the same time.
The pheromones that were flying around had calmed down, and Wen Qiu was no longer annoyed by the disturbances from outsiders.
He patted the back of Ji Liao's hand soothingly and said, "Someone is coming. I'll go check it out."
Only after Ji Liao let go did he get up and leave.
Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi were both outside the door.
When the door opened, Wen Qiu saw them and, without waiting for them to speak, said, "I need a doctor."
*
There is a doctor on the island who specializes in serving the owners. He came quickly when Meng Shuyi called him.
Lou Yue and Wen Qiu grew up together and are very familiar with each other, but they are also on pins and needles at this moment.
Because the first thing the doctor said when he saw Ji Liao was: "You alphas, even during your susceptible period, you should exercise restraint."
Lou Yue:......
Meng Shuyi glanced at Lou Yue, then looked at Wen Qiu.
Wen Qiu was dressed meticulously and completely ignored the two of them, just focusing on the doctor.
Said: "I checked, there is no injury."
Lou Yue couldn't stand listening to these vicious words any more, so he immediately dragged Meng Shuyi out.
Ji Liao was already semi-conscious. He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids wouldn't obey. The high fever gave him a headache. He felt someone approaching, but he didn't know who it was. He could only instinctively murmur, "Water."
The doctor obviously did not believe Wen Qiu's statement. After Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi left, he lifted Ji Liao's quilt and examined Ji Liao carefully.
"It's cold." Ji Liao groaned, and his body began to shiver.
There were indeed no obvious wounds on his body, but his neck was abnormally swollen. The doctor looked serious and examined him for a long time before covering Ji Liao with the blanket again.
Then the doctor stretched out his hand and motioned Wen Qiu to go out and talk.
"Is he seriously ill?"
As the bedroom door closed, Wen Qiu couldn't wait to ask.
"It's serious." The doctor was a beta, about the same age as Wen Qiu.
He paused and said truthfully:
"Based on my observation, your friend is experiencing secondary differentiation. This is not common among adults. The secondary differentiation we usually know about occurs during adolescence and is rarely delayed beyond the age of 20."
The doctor chose his words carefully and spoke slowly.
Wen Qiu was surprised. They had learned about "secondary differentiation" in physiology class, but neither he nor the people around him had ever seen it.
But he quickly accepted the reality and continued to ask, "He's a beta. Do you mean he will be an alpha or an omega?"
The doctor couldn't give a definitive answer, only saying, "I think it might be related to the large amount of pheromones you injected. The strong stimulation triggered this differentiation. My current conclusions are all speculation. The equipment on the island is not sufficient, so further examination is impossible. Furthermore, there is a certain risk of differentiation. I suggest that you arrange for your friend to leave the island immediately and go to a higher-level hospital for comprehensive monitoring."
"I see."
Wen Qiu understood what the doctor meant. It was because of him that Ji Liao was in danger.
After sending the doctor out, Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi were still waiting outside.
Meng Shuyi thanked the doctor, and Lou Yue hurriedly asked Wen Qiu, "How is Ji Liao? He has a high fever and it won't go away. Does he need an IV?"
Wen Qiu only looked at Lou Yue at this moment. He had promised to stay with Lou Yue forever and attend all of Lou Yue's important moments.
He has done it all in the past.
"Sorry, Xiaoyue."
Wen Qiu said, "I'm going to take Ji Liao off the island immediately."
"I can't attend your wedding."
