Chapter 48 The flower that never fades (づ￣3￣)づ╭? ~……
After coming outside and the shouts and pheromones behind him gradually faded away, Lin Zhi was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He leaned against the wall and slowly adjusted his breathing.
Lin Zhi rubbed his temples, thinking that it would not be good for him to escape like this. Wouldn't this be a disappointment to Lu Yuan?
Lu Yuan didn't know if he would be angry...
Lin Zhi thought about it and thought, with Lu Yuan's temper... he would probably do that. He might even make a loud accusation and sing crazily.
So Lin Zhi looked around and happened to see a small flower shop on the corner of the street.
Send flowers...
It seems a bit ambiguous, but if it's an apology and a celebration of Lu Yuan's victory, it should be okay, right?
There's nothing else suitable nearby.
Lin Zhi paused, then went to buy a bouquet of flowers. He asked the clerk if there were any flowers suitable for celebrations that had nothing to do with love, and the clerk recommended yellow roses.
"The yellow rose says, 'You're awesome!' Perfect for blessing someone!"
After Lin Zhi walked out of the store holding the yellow roses, he was suddenly pushed against the wall at the corner without warning.
Lin Zhi subconsciously wanted to resist, but when he smelled a familiar breath, his hands stopped moving.
"Bang!"
Lin Zhi's back was against the cold, damp wall of the dark alley, and in front of him was the tall Enigma.
Enigma circled him with a sullen face, panting, "Why...did you run away again?"
He seemed to be having a traumatic experience with the Omega that escaped.
The thought of Lin Zhi running away and abandoning him made Lu Yuan feel extremely irritated. He didn't know if it was because Lin Zhi was just that bad, or if he had been losing control of himself lately, just like Zhou Fang had said.
"I didn't run." Suddenly surrounded and enveloped by Enigma's pheromones, Lin Zhi felt his legs go weak. He gathered himself and looked down at the flowers in his arms. "I bought you some flowers."
Lu Yuan paused.
He looked down and saw yellow roses in full bloom.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. "You'll buy me roses?"
Lin Zhi corrected, "The flower language of yellow rose is...hmm."
Lu Yuan pinched Lin Zhi's lips and couldn't help but kiss him again.
"land……!"
Lin Zhi widened his eyes.
Lu Yuan kissed him again.
“Someone…”
"No one." Lu Yuan panted, "They can't see us."
After that, he deepened the kiss.
In the dim alley, the two hugged each other and kissed. Lu Yuan hugged Lin Zhi so hard that his feet were almost off the ground. There were sounds of water and their tongues blended together.
"Ding Dong."
When the two of them were about to forget themselves, Lin Zhi's terminal rang.
Lin Zhi shuddered and pushed Lu Yuan away.
In broad daylight, in public...
How shameful!
Lin Zhi's ears turned slightly red. He wiped his swollen and watery lips and whispered, "Wait."
Seeing that Lu Yuan was still trying to get closer, Lin Zhi stopped Lu Yuan with one hand, put his palm on his mouth and pushed him back, while opening the terminal with the other hand.
It’s news from Zhou Fang.
Lin Zhi glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Stop messing around. Your physical examination report is out."
He turned around and said, "Come with me to the Uptown Hospital?"
Now the restrictions on the upper and lower cities have been lifted, and people can communicate with each other as long as they apply.
"Hmm... probably not." Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Even if the passage is open now, I am still an unstable Enigma."
Lu Yuan was originally expelled because of his identity as Enigma. The upper city area is different from the lower city area, and Lu Yuan is not sure whether the upper city area will accept him as a "wanted criminal."
Now that the upper and lower cities are in the initial stage of cooperation, Lu Yuan is unwilling to use his sensitive identity to challenge and destroy this newly established cooperation and cause trouble and controversy.
Lin Zhi paused, looked at Lu Yuan, and nodded slightly.
He suddenly remembered that if Lu Yuan had not been expelled, he would now be the Marshal of the Alliance.
But... he lived a happier and more comfortable life in the downtown area.
Perhaps the downtown area is more suitable for his free and easy nature.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and boarded the aircraft with Lu Yuan.
Since he was not going to the upper city, he planned to let Zhou Fang come to the hospital between the two cities where the Duke had died.
After Lin Zhi opened the cabin door, he paused.
——A bouquet of red roses was placed on the seat.
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "We think the same thing."
The red rose and the yellow rose in Lu Yuan's arms complement each other.
Lin Zhi was surprised and asked, "When did you buy it?"
Lu Yuan boasted, "While you were waiting in the audience, I changed my clothes backstage and quickly bought a bouquet of flowers to put up there. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Lin Zhi's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward and picked up the bouquet of roses.
But His Majesty had an unusually keen eye for aesthetics, and he noticed that there seemed to be a missing corner at the bottom of the rose.
Judging by general flower arrangement, this bouquet of roses seems to be missing a flower?
Lin Zhi frowned slightly.
Why is there one missing?
It can't be that Lu Yuan is giving away his lover, right?
Seeing Lin Zhi frowning at the missing corner, Lu Yuan's eyes widened, "No, you can even notice this?"
Seeing Lin Zhi's eyes become even colder, Lu Yuan asked in confusion: "Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder? If not, how about I return the missing flower to you?"
Lin Zhi frowned, "That one... is still with you?"
"What do you mean it's still with me? Of course it's with me." Lu Yuan smiled. He seemed a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. "Actually... flowers wither easily, so I picked one from this bouquet and kept it for myself. When it withers, it will remind me when to give you a new bouquet."
Lin Zhi was stunned and stared at Lu Yuan blankly.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Lin Zhi, I know what you are thinking. Maybe you think our relationship won't last long, just like these flowers, but it won't. The flowers will always bloom, and I will always be here."
"But if you want a complete bouquet of flowers, I can return it to you later. The flowering period is generally similar."
Lin Zhi bit his lower lip and turned his head away from Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan leaned in front of Lin Zhi and asked softly, "Lin Zhi, we've been together for seventeen years. I want to ask... are you even the slightest bit attracted to me? Even the slightest bit will do."
Lin Zhi answered irrelevantly, "Then... you don't need to return the rose."
"Let's go."
Lu Yuan just smiled and said, "Okay."
…
…
Arriving at the hospital, Zhou Fang took Lu Yuan directly to do a CT scan. After confirming that the data matched, Zhou Fang held the report and said, "Now we can confirm it."
"It's like this. Enigma's mind is prone to spiraling out of control over time. You've been exposed to Omega's pheromones and officially marked, so you've erupted prematurely."
"But this isn't a bad thing. The reason the Omega's pheromones make you more active is because they're interacting and healing you. If the treatment is successful, it'll be a permanent solution, and you won't lose control so easily in the future."
"Treatment?" Both of them were a little surprised.
Zhou Fang glanced at Lin Zhi and said with emotion: "Yes, Omega's pheromones can soothe and soothe your mental strength."
Lu Yuan and Lin Zhi looked at each other.
ah……?
Can Omega's pheromones also alleviate Enigma's madness?
This is really unheard of.
Zhou Fang laughed and said, "I'm actually quite surprised too. There's really never been a record of anything like this before. It might be because... before, not to mention Omegas, even Alphas couldn't handle Enigma's markings and pheromones. Your Majesty is indeed an exception."
In other words, it's a medical miracle.
"Not only can it accept pheromones, but it can also complete formal marking. Now it can even soothe and suppress Enigm. It's amazing..." Zhou Fang said: "If Your Majesty's relationship with Mr. Lu was not currently kept secret, this project would definitely be very interesting if it was taken to the hospital and the research team for research."
Lin Zhi said: "Now that the two cities have just started cooperating, it is indeed not convenient to make it public."
Although he himself was also very curious, why?
Why is he the only one who can accept Enigma's pheromones? Is there some secret behind this?
Lu Yuan grasped the key point. "In other words, all I need to do next is control my condition, get through it, and let the Omega's pheromones soothe me. For example, staying together all the time or engaging in intimate acts can cure the symptoms of losing control?"
Lin Zhi: “…”
The abacus was about to jump out of his face.
Zhou Fang pondered and said, "Yes, but this is a double-edged sword. Mr. Lu should also avoid getting overly excited and losing control when making contact."
"I understand." Lu Yuan nodded. He understood it very well.
Now, he becomes energetic when he sees Lin Zhi, both physically and mentally.
But with just a little control, the disease can be cured once and for all. This is too... profitable?
Lu Yuan turned to look at Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi should be willing to help him, right?
Lin Zhi looked at Lu Yuan helplessly.
It's natural, but...
Why did he feel that there was a dangerous glint in Enigma's eyes?
As if to eat him alive.
Then the two of them talked about some details with Zhou Fang, and when they had almost understood everything, Lin Zhi was taken away after a phone call.
He and Lu Yuan parted ways to handle their respective official duties. Now that the two cities were cooperating, there were too many small things that needed to be decided.
Lin Zhi spun like a top all day, and it was already late at night when he returned to his room.
The roses that Lu Yuan had given her before had withered and were now sun-dried into pale and yellow petals. Lin Zhi carefully took these dried flowers down and stored them in a box. He then put the new red roses that Lu Yuan had given him back into the vase.
He looked at the bright red color, slightly lost in thought.
After seeing Lu Yuan in the dungeon today, he once again realized that although Lu Yuan was clearly in the dungeon, he was still as reckless, bright and enthusiastic as when he was young.
On the other hand, although he was in the upper city, he was shrouded in too many dark clouds.
They are different people. Lu Yuan is too carefree, so carefree that it makes him uneasy.
Lu Yuan said that he liked him, but Lu Yuan looked down upon all of his most impressive and proud assets - power, identity, status, and money.
Lu Yuan asked him if he was a little moved.
Lin Zhi didn't know, but he didn't dare to think about it.
In this transaction, the only things he could use to hold Lu Yuan back were pheromones and the pleasure of intimacy, and now they still had a marked relationship.
But what if one day or in the future, Lu Yuan wakes up?
If one day Lu Yuan no longer needs his pheromones and the mark gradually fades away, will Lu Yuan regret being entangled with him like this and realize that they are not the same kind of people?
After all, apart from these, there might be nothing else worth Lu Yuan's nostalgia. Lu Yuan is the person who knows him best in this world, and he knows all his shameful past. Lu Yuan can't be attracted to such a self.
So Zhou Fang said that his pheromones can cure Lu Yuan. Is this... a good thing or a bad thing?
Lu Yuan became more dependent on his pheromones.
But is this a cure or just a temporary solution?
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes slightly and watered the roses without saying a word.
As the water was poured, a petal fell off.
Lin Zhi pinched it gently.
What a pity...
Lin Zhi tucked the petals between the pages of the book he placed on the bedside table.
