quarrel
Lin Xunye seemed to be touched by the identical movements of the young man and Gu Pei, and confusion arose in his heart. All the coincidences merged at this moment. Gu Pei's blue hair and the similar outlines of the two people all appeared in front of him and overlapped in an instant.
He shook off the boy's hand and asked loudly: "Who are you?"
The boy staggered and fell to the ground. When he looked up, the mole on the side of his nose was nowhere to hide, and the lavender in his hand instantly turned into a white sheet.
The suit he was wearing was replaced by a hospital gown.
Gu Pei lay on the bed, the collar around his neck flickering. He reached out to Lin Xunye and murmured, "Run... away."
Lin Xunye took a step forward, but before his hand could touch Gu Pei's outstretched hand, he was controlled by someone who suddenly appeared.
They were wearing white coats and holding the instruments that Lin Xunye had seen in Lin Gaoyuan's laboratory - special pheromone extractors.
Unlike other state-approved pheromone extractors on the market, this one doesn't pose significant harm to the human body and only extracts small amounts to aid those in need or conduct research. Lin Gaoyuan's custom-made pheromone extractor isn't solely designed to extract pheromones; it's designed to absorb "life" and extend the lives of others.
Lin Xunye struggled and roared, trying to make those people give up the idea of extracting his pheromones.
However, when Lin Gaoyuan stood in front of him, all his struggles seemed so ridiculous.
Lin Gaoyuan stood before him proudly, like a savior: "Xiao Ye, this is your life."
"Didn't you say you wanted to save him?"
"Dad gives you this opportunity. It's his life or your freedom. Dad gives you the right to choose."
Lin Xunye was restrained by the people behind him and pressed to Gu Pei's bedside. Gu Pei's eyes, which had just been looking at him with bright eyes and saying "happiness is coming", were now gray and out of focus.
As if sensing Lin Xunye's arrival, Gu Pei forced a smile: "Brother, hurry... let's go."
After a few violent coughs, Gu Pei spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Xunye struggled to move forward, but Lin Gaoyuan stepped on his back and he had to crawl on the ground. His chest touched the cold floor, and nameless sadness spread in Lin Xunye's heart.
Beside him was Gu Pei, who was weak and spitting blood, and in front of him stood a devil who wanted to kill him.
Lin Gaoyuan grinned and said, "No, I'll give you three seconds."
He stretched out his finger, circling between Gu Pei and Lin Xunye, then turned back to Lin Xunye, "Choose him, or yourself."
Lin Xunye was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot.
He bit his lip hard, and blood oozed out, staining his lips red and flowing all the way to his neck.
A few drops of blood dripped down, and a clear "pa ta" sound rang out in the eerie atmosphere.
Finally, Lin Xunye spoke.
He glared at Lin Gaoyuan fiercely: "I, I choose..."
"What's wrong with him?" Gu Pei asked anxiously.
Doctor: "It's just a coma, don't worry too much."
Lin Xunye lay on the bed, his chest rising and falling slowly, just like a sleeping person.
Gu Pei was still worried: "Can the cause be found out?"
Doctor: "So far, no obvious abnormalities have been found."
"However, his pheromone levels are too high. We need to wait until he wakes up for a more comprehensive examination."
Gu Pei was still a little worried. Lin Xunye's condition was not right. He suddenly fell into a coma and had a huge increase in appetite, but the hospital could not find any problems.
——
Gu Pei waited in the hospital until the next afternoon before Lin Xunye woke up.
At that time, Gu Pei was talking to him in a rambling manner.
Lin Xunye moved his fingers, but did not pull them out. He just lightly stroked Gu Pei's palm.
The round nails brushed against the burning palm, and the hand immediately curled up as if it was burned.
Gu Pei held his hand: "Aye, are you awake? I..."
Lin Xunye looked at him for a while, then pulled his hand out of his and turned to look at the ceiling blankly: "Gu Pei, who are you?"
Gu Pei fell silent, and Lin Xunye could only hear his own breathing.
The only memories in his mind were crowded together, merged with each other, and flashed by like a kaleidoscope. The boy's blurry face was now extremely clear.
The innocent smile in the lavender field, the shyness when she confessed her love to him, the shyness when she took him through the sunflowers to the classroom to kiss him, the bright eyes when she held his hand and said that she would be well soon and wanted to be with him forever, the firmness of the oath she made to him, and the empty eyes when she woke up from the dream, lying on the hospital bed spitting blood, reaching out to him, asking him to go away quickly, all of these finally showed Gu Pei's face.
He is his boyfriend, his lover, and his legal wife.
He is also the father of the child in his womb.
The long silence stirred up different waves in the hearts of the two people.
The ceiling of the hospital was endlessly white, and Lin Xunye couldn't see the end, as if he was repeating the mistakes of his previous life.
No wonder Lin Gaoyuan always says "This is your fate", it turns out that this is really his fate.
He deserves it.
What’s funny is that he still has time to imagine that he is not a substitute, but the white moonlight.
Is this a spice in the bitterness?
Perhaps he should be thankful that he was broad-minded and didn't really let his imagination run wild and imagine some bloody plot about Bai Yueguang and the substitute.
Otherwise it might be even more embarrassing now.
Blinking slowly twice, Lin Xunye looked at the ceiling, the striking white stinging his eyes.
He opened his mouth woodenly: "Gu Pei, you are Ah Fei, right?"
Gu Pei's heart was torn into pieces, and the uneasy mood he had been feeling reached its peak at this moment.
All the words to cover up and defend himself were stuck in his heart. Looking at Lin Xunye's pale face, Gu Pei could only utter a hoarse "hmm".
Lin Xunye: "Heh..."
"So you already knew it."
It turns out you had been planning this from the beginning.
Lin Xunye propped himself up and sat up. He stared at Gu Pei, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
In his previous life, he was sold as a commodity to Gu Pei's father by Lin Gaoyuan to save Gu Pei's life, and he accepted it.
He was willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for Gu Pei's survival.
But why did Gu Pei have to go through pheromone disorder in this life?
Did he deserve to be traded as a commodity?
In his previous life, he was Gu Pei's "medicine", and in this life, he is Lin Gaoyuan's "reproduction machine", and a weapon for Lin Gaoyuan to take revenge on Gu Pei.
But Gu Pei clearly knew everything, so why did he still want to marry me? Did he want to do it again?
He did not deny Gu Pei's feelings for him in his past life and this life, but he could not accept deception.
He didn't want to be a commodity that could be bought and sold at will for their amusement and happiness, while he himself was trampled in the mud and called a waste.
It was true in his previous life, but he doesn’t want to do that in this life.
Gu Pei remained silent, his clenched hands were bleeding, and eight bloody crescents appeared in his palms.
He really wanted to hug his A Ye.
Gu Pei took a step forward, and just as he was about to touch the person with his outstretched hand, he stopped abruptly at the shoulder of the person in front of him.
Gu Pei's palms turned inward, and the bright red color stung Lin Xunye's heart.
He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, waved away the hand that was extended to him, and dodged backwards.
Lin Xunye's eyes gradually became dry. He didn't have much strength after just waking up. In addition, he was pregnant now, so he was not very energetic and physically tired.
Lin Xunye retracted his strength, trying not to look at the injury on Gu Pei's palm, and lay back on the bed. "Go away, I don't have anything else to say."
He turned over with his back facing Gu Pei, revealing only the back of his head that was messy from sleeping.
Gu Pei's hand was knocked down and hung in the air. His chest ached dully as if it had been cut by a knife, and there was a lingering smell of blood. As if he couldn't feel the pain, he clenched his palm again, and the blood dripped from his fingers.
Finally, he stood by the bed, wiped his hands on his pants, lowered his head and pinched a corner of the quilt: "Aye, I can explain, I..."
"What do you want to explain?" Lin Xunye suddenly flipped over the quilt.
Gu Pei's steps were unsteady, and he was forced to take a few steps back by Lin Xunye's actions. The blood that had just been wiped off came out again, and a few drops dripped onto the smooth tiles during his movements.
Lin Xunye's eyes were red, he was holding back tears, venting the grievances and unwillingness accumulated in two lifetimes: "Why did you marry me when you first saw me in this life, and why did you express your love to me after you found out that I was really Lin Buye?!"
"Or do you think that you were just a beneficiary who was kept in the dark in your previous life? You knew nothing, so you can feel at ease and start over again in this life, let me fall in love with you again, and make it up to me!"
"Gu Pei, your love has expired."
Every word Lin Xunye said was heartbreaking. He vented all the resentment in his heart, including the grievances from his previous life.
He could accept that he was Gu Pei's medicine, but why wouldn't he let him go in this life?
He didn't hate Gu Pei, but it hurt too much.
He didn't dare to ask for it.
It was his own choice in his previous life. He chose to save Gu Pei, so he did not regret it when he was tied up by Lin Gaoyuan.
He just wanted to live an ordinary and simple life in his next life, with a family. But fate played a trick on him, and after many twists and turns, he was still Lin Gaoyuan's son.
Having not eaten for a whole day, Lin Xunye had no strength left. After he finished yelling, his shoulders trembled and he sobbed. The tears he had been holding back for two lifetimes finally burst out.
With a "click", a teardrop fell on the back of Gu Pei's raised hand.
“I want to live my own life.”
This is his only wish.
The continuous sobbing echoed in the ward, breaking the hearts of both of them.
Lin Xunye let the tears spread all over his face, staring stubbornly at the man in front of him whom he had loved for two lifetimes.
Gu Pei saw it and moved his fingers, wanting to wipe away his tears, but was afraid of being pushed away again.
The two confronted each other silently.
Finally, Gu Pei half-knelt beside the bed and coaxed: "Are you hungry? Let's eat first, okay? It's okay if you are angry with me, and it's okay if you don't want to see me, but don't get angry with yourself."
Gu Pei lay on the edge of the bed. He curled up his hands with his palms facing up for fear of dirtying the sheets.
Gu Pei's nails were stained red with blood, and in Lin Xunye's peripheral vision, he could only see his bright red fingers.
Lin Xunye: "I'm not hungry, go out."
He was afraid that if Gu Pei didn't leave, he might soften his heart.
Gu Pei lowered his head upon hearing this, and pursed his lips tightly.
"Aye, I..."
Lin Xunye threw the pillow out suddenly, hitting the door panel behind Gu Pei: "Gu Pei, I beg you, don't let me see you again."
Don’t let me recall the memory of being used as a test subject by Lin Gaoyuan.
