Chapter 34 Lucid Dream "Chen Qiudu, I will always be just you...
Chapter. Thirty-fourth
Shen Qiudu's hand on the door handle suddenly tightened.
Wen Jiangchu said that he liked him and cared about him the most, and he heard it all.
Chen Qiudu's body was tense, his burning temperature was getting hotter and hotter, and his breathing was rapid.
He leaned his back against the cold wall to calm himself down.
The conversation outside the door was still going on, but Chen Qiudu could no longer hear anything. Wen Jiangchu's confession kept lingering in his mind.
He let out a sigh, which was the intense satisfaction and sense of superiority brought by the extreme preference that possessed his heart.
Chen Qiudu placed his palm over the left side of his heart, feeling its beating rhythm. His ear was tinged with crimson, and the scene in the study where Wen Jiangchu confessed her love to him by blowing air into his ear replayed itself.
If what Wen Jiangchu said was true, then he had spent almost half his life on him alone—
No, to be precise, it should be a lifetime, because his illness and pheromones are only alleviated and soothed by Chen Qiudu.
It's not that Chen Qiudu can't live without him, it's that Wen Jiangchu can only be bound to him forever.
This entanglement of fate and the dominance of emotions brought Chen Qiudu great pleasure, but he also found it difficult to accept leaving Wen Jiangchu's side under subtle influence.
The conversation outside the door gradually quieted down. Shen Qiudu clenched his hands on his chest. His pupils flashed and he made up his mind.
Perhaps, he should give Wen Jiangchu a chance, and also give himself a chance to accept and show love again.
Just like Wen Jiangchu said, he is not a disaster star, and those who come into contact with him can be happy.
So why couldn't he allow himself to take that brave step?
Thinking of this, Chen Qiudu had already turned the doorknob, opened the door and rushed out without hesitation, but Wen Jiangchu's figure left the corridor and stopped at the side corner of the corridor.
Chen Qiudu followed the guidance of the wall and walked towards Wen Jiangchu little by little.
Suddenly, he heard Xue Shanke's anxious voice.
As if afraid of disturbing Chen Qiudu, Xue Shanke lowered his voice deliberately, "Wen Jiangchu, something happened. Someone from the Song family is here. You need to go to the company quickly. It seems that there is a problem with the company's internal personnel, and you must solve it."
"temperature---"
Chen Qiudu had just uttered half a syllable when Wen Jiangchu followed Xue Shanke downstairs in a hurry. By the time Chen Qiudu hurriedly stood by the handrail, he and Xue Shanke had already gotten into the car with serious expressions.
From the intermittent words he just heard, Chen Qiudu vaguely guessed that the Song family must have planted spies inside the Wen Group and they had been discovered. The specific impact on the Wen Group was still unclear.
When Wen Jiangchu's back completely disappeared from his sight, Chen Qiudu felt a void in his heart. He lowered his eyes and stood in the corner, clenching his fingers, his nails digging into his palms, and stayed in the empty space for ten seconds.
An inexplicable feeling of powerlessness gradually seeped out from the bottom of my heart, like the moss that grows wildly in the dark during the rainy season, covering the place with a heavy shadow.
It seemed as if he could never help Wen Jiangchu in anything, and he could only watch Wen Jiangchu leave with others. The little bit of comfort that had arisen in his heart because Wen Jiangchu had the strongest feelings for him completely dissipated.
A violent voice clamored in his heart—he didn't want to just watch Wen Jiangchu leave, and he didn't want so many people around him, using countless excuses to take him away with good reason.
If Wen Jiangchu really liked him, how could he indulge others and leave his side with those people at will? Chen Qiudu knew that it was because he did not have the ability to provide the same help to Wen Jiangchu as those people did, and he did not have enough reasons to let Wen Jiangchu stay with him forever.
So it’s not Wen Jiangchu’s problem, it’s just that he is too weak now.
Wen Jiangchu saved him, said he loved him, and said he could stay with him forever, so he couldn't go back on his word and had to do what he said. Chen Qiudu also believed that he would do it, but there were too many obstacles, so many that even Wen Jiangchu could hardly handle them all.
If Chen Qiudu could help him deal with all this, could he stay with her forever? They could be trapped in a room forever, with no one around but each other.
They can only be each other's only choice. This is destiny and also self-choice.
The corners of Shen Qiudu's lips lowered, and just as he was about to turn around, a faint call came from the bottom of the stairs: "Qiudu?"
Chen Qiudu looked back and was completely stunned when he saw the woman's face.
It was Lu Shuyao, the convenience store sister who helped him when he was a teenager.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Ever since Lu Shuyao's best friend was sold by her father, she closed the convenience store, left the remaining money to Chen Qiudu, and left the slums.
Lu Shuyao could not accept the departure of her best friend, nor could she accept continuing to live in the slums, a run-down and hateful place.
I just didn't expect to see her at the Wen family.
Thinking of what Meng Xunque had said before, Shen Qiudu had some idea. It should be him who found Lu Shuyao and asked him to take him away from here.
Seeing that it was really Chen Qiudu, Lu Shuyao's eyes lit up, her nose felt sore, and tears instantly filled her voice: "Qiudu...it's really you! I...I thought you were sold too...Great! You're okay!"
Chen Qiudu went downstairs, supported Lu Shuyao's trembling shoulders, took her to sit on the sofa, and handed her a cup of warm water.
"Sister Lu, I'm fine. Half of my gland was removed, so it's not worth much. That's why my father didn't sell me."
Shen Qiudu said this very calmly, but Lu Shuyao's tears could not stop, "Qiudu...you suffered. It's my fault. I should have stayed there...I'm sorry, Qiudu."
"It's all in the past." Chen Qiudu lowered his eyes and quickly brushed it off in a monotonous tone, "Why did Sister Lu suddenly appear here?"
"Meng Xunque came to see me and asked me to come and discuss the public school matter with the Wen family. He said he had an accident last time and couldn't come out. He also said that I could meet you here. He didn't tell me the details, but when I heard that I could meet you, I rushed over immediately."
Lu Shuyao held Chen Qiudu's hand tightly. She was five years older than Chen Qiudu, and she gently stroked Chen Qiudu's messy hair like a close older sister.
"Qiu Du, why are you here at the Wen family? Could it be that you and Young Master Wen..."
"No." Chen Qiudu looked away and interrupted her in a panic, "He saved me and made an exception to let me stay at the Wen family to recuperate. At that time, the debt collectors blocked our house, and I escaped and fainted on the ground, and he saved me."
Lu Shuyao didn't ask any more questions, feeling extremely distressed. "We, Qiu Du... have worked hard. So, will you continue to stay in the Wen family?"
Chen Qiudu rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, obviously confused. "I... I don't know yet. My body has improved a lot. I'm currently treating the damaged glands. I don't know when it will be cured..."
"Qiu Du, are you willing to go back with me?"
Chen Qiudu was stunned. "Go back? Back to the slums?"
"Yeah." Lu Shuyao nodded, pursed her lips and said helplessly, "It's like this, Qiu Du. With the help of the Wen and Qin families, the slums have been completely transformed and rebuilt. The government has also introduced many policies to improve the slums. Public schools are a key project recently."
"Our public schools are mainly for children who have just been born, have lost their parents, or are homeless, providing them with a safe place to live and learn."
"If this project can be successful, it will be of great help not only to the government but also to the Wen family who invested in us, and it will also attract more and more people to invest in construction."
"It's just that everyone has a deep stereotype about slums, and now almost no one wants to come to our place. Even fewer resumes have been submitted, so I want to ask Qiu Du, are you willing? Just consider it a favor to do me a favor and stay for just one year. After a year, when we find someone, you can leave."
Lu Shuyao's voice choked with sobs. Seeing Chen Qiudu's silence, she weakly lowered her body. "Qiudu, to be honest with you, Meng Xun and I can handle everything at school, but... I also have to take care of a pregnant woman."
Shen Qiudu had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's Xu Eryao, the girl who was sold, and also my best friend."
"I found her. To be exact, I picked her up on the roadside when the casino was blocked by the government. She was sold, and then the casino manager's son took her home and raised her."
"She originally thought she could just keep living like this. At least she was still alive, and that man treated her well, and her life was secure. Until the Wen family took over the slums and the casino was shut down, that man had the audacity to abandon her while she was pregnant and run away!"
"That's just how the rich young masters are! They just want to have some fun and have some fun, but they don't treat people like us as human beings at all!"
"Especially Alphas... They can mark any Omegas they like without any scruples, without any risk!"
"They are scheming and use many tricks. When the Omega doesn't want to, they will release pheromones to confuse the Omega's consciousness and make the Omega slowly sink into the Alpha's company. But in fact, they just rely on pheromones to make the Omega think that they are attracted to the Alpha! How despicable!"
"But what about us Omegas... What can we do? Once we agree to be permanently marked, we'll be completely nailed to a pillar!"
Chen Qiudu felt a lump in his throat, unsure how to respond. Lu Shuyao's words were irrefutable truths, the very words his mother had entrusted to him.
They are already at a disadvantage as Omegas. Even a little bit of pheromone can make them lose their minds and become no longer themselves, willingly allowing their bodies to cater to the attacks and bites of Alphas.
What's more, this is something Lu Shuyao had experienced before.
Lu Shuyao is also an Omega. She is extremely sensitive to the pheromones of alcohol. As long as she smells a little bit of it, she will immediately fall into estrus.
Later, she met an Alpha who had tequila-scented pheromones. With this, he successfully marked Lu Shuyao permanently. The two were sweet for a long time and even got engaged.
But later he gradually lost the novelty, ignored all of Lu Shuyao's requests, and looked impatient. In the end, he left Lu Shuyao alone.
Lu Shuyao, who was permanently marked, became an abandoned child and spent a long time in the slums in depression. Whenever she met an Omega, she would warn them to be careful and not to follow her path.
She just wanted to save them, so Lu Shuyao hated the inequality between AOs. She didn't understand why the impact on Alpha was so small, almost non-existent, but Omega had to bear so much alone.
So even though Chen Qiudu didn't think Wen Jiangchu would be that kind of person, he wouldn't argue with Lu Shuyao. He knew that Sister Lu just couldn't get out of the shadow of the past. She was kind-hearted, and he had to respect and understand her.
Lu Shuyao held Shen Qiudu's hand tightly and pleaded, "So Qiudu, come back with me."
"Actually, I can vaguely guess that there's something going on between you and Young Master Wen... But don't you know that we Omegas are affected by Alpha's pheromones? If Young Master Wen's pheromones weren't highly compatible with yours, would he still treat you like this? Would you be attracted to him?"
"Qiu Du, we can't take a gamble. We only have one chance. Only when we are 100% sure can we truly love with confidence. Otherwise, after giving our heart and soul, if that person changes, what will we do in the future?"
"No one can guarantee that sincerity will remain unchanged forever. Do you understand, Qiu Du?"
Lu Shuyao sighed helplessly and took out a small bottle from her bag.
"Qiu Du, there's still time. You can go and try it. Here's a specially formulated shower gel with the scent of Dioscorea. It won't wear off all night."
"When you're no longer addicted to the pheromones of Dianthus jujuba, will you still be attracted to Wen Jiangchu?"
So, Shen Qiudu took the small bottle. Lu Shuyao nodded with satisfaction, picked up her bag and prepared to leave. "Qiudu, I will reserve a place for you at school. I believe you will come."
＊
Late at night, in the bathroom with the sound of dripping water and rising mist, Chen Qiudu looked at the small bottle in the palm of his hand with wet eyes, then opened it and applied it on his naked body.
I have to say that what Lu Shuyao said was indeed right. The moment the bottle cap was opened, the smell of Polygonum multiflorum instantly filled the closed bathroom.
Fortunately, after dinner, Chen Qiudu finished the medicine Xue Shanke had prepared, and he didn't feel any strange sensations in his glands. Furthermore, with the dilution of the water, Chen Qiudu only felt a burning sensation, nothing else.
After washing up, Chen Qiudu pushed open the bathroom door. As the temperature alternated between hot and cold, Chen Qiudu's consciousness suddenly became drowsy and his body felt extremely hot.
Chen Qiudu swallowed his dry throat and went to bed without even drying his hair.
Maybe I was too tired, Chen Qiudu thought.
Just a good sleep... Just a good sleep...
Why did I dream about Wen Jiangchu?!
No, I can't dream about him.
Chen Qiudu frowned and buried his head in the quilt, trying to think of something else, but the more he did this, the more frequently Wen Jiangchu appeared.
The glands in the back started to hurt again.
Didn’t Xue Shanke say his medicine could suppress it? Why didn’t it work?
So Lu Shuyao was wrong.
What induced Chen Qiudu to enter the estrus period was never the pheromone with the smell of Qu Ma, but the temperature drop.
It was just that Wen Jiangchu happened to carry pheromones with the scent of Dianthus fasciata, so every time the question of the smell of Dianthus fasciata was asked, Chen Qiudu would think of Wen Jiangchu, and naturally entered the estrus period.
Chen Qiudu groaned and wanted to cover his nose with the quilt, but his skin was all filled with the smell of jujube. So he stuck his head out again, but the air was already filled with the fragrance of jujube. At this moment, Chen Qiudu was in a dilemma.
He felt extremely uncomfortable in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.
Chen Qiudu dreamed of Wen Jiangchu again.
He saw Wen Jiangchu wearing a suit and seemed to have just rushed back. He was sitting beside his bed and calling his name anxiously.
Chen Qiudu did not respond, he just felt it was too noisy, too noisy.
His mouth should be shut.
Thinking of this, Chen Qiudu did the same.
But his body was too heavy, and his lips lightly brushed Wen Jiangchu's chin.
But it was also very soft, just as he had imagined, and the touch was very real.
He gave full marks to this dream.
Seeing Wen Jiangchu standing there motionless, his blurred vision made it impossible to make out the expression on his face. Then a faint ringtone rang out, and Wen Jiangchu seemed to be leaving again.
Chen Qiudu was very dissatisfied. Why did he behave like this in his dream?
So he grabbed Wen Jiangchu's wrist, rested his head on his shoulder, and hummed in a soft voice, "Don't leave, Wen Jiangchu."
"You said you would always be with me, you must keep your word..."
After a light laugh, Wen Jiangchu replied: "Okay, I'll do what I say."
"Chen Qiudu, I will always be yours alone."
Shen Qiudu was no longer able to answer and fell into a deep sleep.
