Chapter 115
Li Songyun got up early. After getting the divorce certificate, he made an appointment for the hospital's mark removal service.
Omega is only eligible for surgery if he obtains a divorce certificate.
Bai Zhi told him that some regulations should be amended. For example, the requirement of living apart for a year before getting a divorce could be changed to, as long as the omega is willing to go to a legal institution to wash off the lifelong mark, it can prove that their relationship has broken down. Because if an omega can overcome his instinct to wash off the mark, it means that he has reached an unbearable point.
Bai Zhi was discussing the possible impact of this incident with Tang Bai. Hearing that they were preparing to investigate the data of omegas who initiated divorces, Li Songyun wanted to help, but Tang Bai asked him to have a good rest during this time.
Washing off a lifelong mark would cause great harm to the body. The higher the level of the alpha that marked him, the greater the harm he would suffer. For example, the mark left by Gu Mian required him to wash it four times before it could be completely cleaned.
Accompanied by Jiang Youwen, Li Songyun lay on the operating table. Anesthesia was injected into his body. Li Songyun closed his eyes, and he seemed to have had a big dream.
In the dream, it was his and Gu Mian’s wedding night, with red pillows and red sheets. Gu Mian touched his eyes and commented, “Red suits you very well.”
The process of lifelong marking is long. At this time, the omega has no privacy and is more like an object of suffering than a person.
He felt that his dignity and personality were being shattered bit by bit during the marking process. Gu Mian did not kiss him or touch him, but just looked down at the whole process of his surrender.
The next day he wore a bright red suit with a snow-white vintage lace collar shirt underneath.
He was looking forward to Gu Mian's praise, and then he heard Gu Mian say: "Pay attention to your dress, throw away clothes with lace elements, and don't wear clothes with too bright colors..."
The pain at that moment woke him up from his dream.
"The operation was successful. The second mark cleaning will be performed in a week. Postoperative precautions..." After the doctor gave the instructions and left, Li Songyun lay on the bed. After the anesthesia wore off, the excruciating pain swept over him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
Jiang Youwen was terrified and held his hand tightly, "Songyun, how are you? Are you feeling bad?"
Li Songyun's hands were sweating. In Jiang Youwen's eyes, he saw himself with a pale face and a ferocious look.
But he felt that his spirits were better than ever before.
It must be painful to put your shattered self-esteem and personality back together, right?
Li Songyun smiled, held Jiang Youwen's hand, and said softly, "I'm fine, Youwen, I want to go buy clothes."
"Buy!" Jiang Youwen recalled Li Songyun's usual dressing style and was about to mention a few brands that Li Songyun might like, when she heard Li Songyun add, "Buy red clothes."
Gu Mian stood at the school gate waiting for Gu Peifeng to finish school. Because Gu Peifeng's finishing time conflicted with the military's off-duty time, this was his first time to pick up Gu Peifeng after school.
He gave the custody of Gu Peifeng to Li Songyun according to Li Songyun's wishes, and he also divided half of Gu Mian's property to Li Songyun.
Li Songyun asked him why, and he said that this part was for Gu Peifeng.
The waiting time at the school gate was a bit long. Gu Peifeng's class did not finish school at 4:30 as scheduled. Gu Mian stood there for a while and saw students from several classes lining up to walk out.
The parents around me were talking about their children's homework, such as housework punching in, skipping rope punching in, recitation punching in... They complained that educating children nowadays is more tiring for parents than for the children themselves, and said that they never had to do these things when they were in school.
There was also a parent who said that he was unlucky and had been selected to be a parent on duty and would have to stand guard all day tomorrow. Another parent said that he was chosen to clean up his class...
Gu Mian was unfamiliar with the content of these conversations; he had never heard Li Songyun mention these things before.
——"She had to bear four children, endure the absence of her husband during pregnancy, endure the absence of her husband during the child-rearing stage, and endure the absence of her husband during all stages of the children's growth."
"Look, isn't that Class 5, Grade 1?" "Finally they came out!"
Gu Mian was standing in the crowd. He saw Gu Peifeng standing in the middle of the team. He was not tall, so he did not recognize the child at first sight.
The child kept walking with his head down, and only raised his head when he was about to reach the school gate. Gu Mian noticed that Gu Peifeng's eyes were a little swollen, as if he had been crying.
He always felt that Gu Peifeng was too weak, cowardly and greedy, and did not seem like a child from the Gu family.
Later I thought that this might be what beta is.
Gu Peifeng seemed to meet his eyes, but did not recognize him. He saw Gu Peifeng walk out of the school gate, wave to the classmates beside him, and run in another direction.
In the noisy crowd, his eyes followed Gu Peifeng, and finally fell on Li Songyun, who was wearing a red dress.
For a moment, Gu Mian did not recognize that this was Li Songyun.
Li Songyun wore a black veil hat, and the lace veil covered his bright smile and warm red eyes.
Some people may look gaudy or tacky in red, but when worn by Li Songyun, red makes him look calm and dignified. He gracefully took Gu Peifeng's hand and walked towards the distance at a leisurely pace.
At this time, the sky was filled with sunset glow, which reflected the redness of Gu Mian's gray-blue eyes, as if a candle was overturned in the night.
He could feel that the lifelong mark he left on Li Songyun had been partially washed away.
This realization made him feel as if a piece of his heart had been taken away.
He finally realized with great clarity that Li Songyun would never come back.
"Uncle Li went to the hospital to have his life mark removed." Tang Bai whispered to Xie Ruheng in the theater, "Mom said Uncle Li's complexion was very bad. She said Uncle Li's condition was not this bad even when he gave birth."
"Washing off the life mark hurts so much." Tang Bai whispered, "The process of forming the life mark hurts so much too."
Tang Bai had seen the knot diagram in physiology class, and he felt that Alpha was a bit abnormal when it came to life marking.
Xie Ruheng looked at the worried Tang Bai, the delicate and weak little omega, with skin so tender that water could be pinched out of it, and he looked like he had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. If there was a live-action version of the Princess and the Pea, it would be very convincing to let Tang Bai play this character.
Xie Ruheng held Tang Bai's hand. He thought for a while, and as if he had made up his mind, he said softly, "Then... I won't mark you for life?"
Tang Bai: “......?”
Tang Bai turned around in surprise and met Xie Ruheng's serious eyes.
"Brother Xie, are you serious?" Tang Bai said incredulously, "I heard that you alphas have a strong obsession with the lifelong mark of omega."
An omega that is marked for life will submit to an alpha, and will not be able to disobey the alpha easily when the alpha releases pheromones. It is said that after an alpha with an extremely high degree of matching has marked an omega, no matter what excessive things the alpha does, as long as the alpha releases pheromones, the omega will not be able to leave the other party, and will crawl to the other party's side even if it means crawling.
The influence is mutual, for the alpha it is possessiveness and protectiveness, for the omega it is submission and attachment.
Tang Bai has not gone to a professional institution to test the compatibility of his pheromones with Xie Ruheng, but he thinks that the compatibility between the two of them should be quite high.
When Xie Ruheng was in his susceptible period, he liked Xie Ruheng emotionally and was willing to satisfy Xie Ruheng on the one hand, but the influence of pheromones on his body was another very critical aspect.
Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng looked at each other for a while, and found that the pair of phoenix eyes were full of true feelings. Xie Ruheng said to him, "It's fake."
Tang Bai: “???” What’s wrong with you? !
"I can't take away the pain you feel when you are marked for life," Xie Ruheng assured softly, "but I will save you from the pain of having the mark washed off."
Tang Bai could sense that Xie Ruheng was very serious at this moment, and his tone was very firm. He couldn't help but ask, "How can you guarantee that I won't wash off the mark in the future?"
"If I meet someone I like more..." Facing those gradually narrowing eyes, Tang Bai instinctively sensed the danger, but from the time he met Xie Ruheng until now, Xie Ruheng had never done anything excessive to him. Suddenly seeing this side of Xie Ruheng, Tang Bai found it quite exciting.
Tang Baidanzi said: "Want to try a new relationship?"
The light in the cinema was dim, and those black eyes were like rolling ink, and it was impossible to tell what emotion was in them.
"I will get you back."
The hand that was originally holding him slowly loosened, and the palm quietly covered his neck, pressing his gland suggestively.
“And then re-mark you.”
Tang Bai's glands were very sensitive, and being rubbed by the rough fingertips aroused a tingling sensation like an electric shock. His eyelashes trembled, and then his eyes widened slightly——
I felt a warm touch on my earlobe.
Xie Ruheng gently bit Tang Bai's earlobe, and a low, slow voice echoed in Tang Bai's ear: "Keep marking until you dare not wash it off anymore."
He spoke slowly and clearly, constantly marking the depression and terror of the process, all outlined in just one sentence.
Tang Bai covered his earlobe which was numbed by licking, and looked carefully into the dim eyes of the phoenix. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is it true?"
Feng's eyes narrowed, a helpless smile flashed across them, and Xie Ruheng said in a gentle tone: "It's fake."
He also didn't know what he would look like if he really went crazy.
But if what he was about to do would hurt Tang Bai, he still couldn't bear to do it.
Tang Bai rubbed his ears and said in a humble manner, "Let's continue watching the movie."
This is a romance movie. The omega heroine in the movie cannot undergo mature marking removal surgery due to her gland underdevelopment, which means that she can only receive lifelong marking once in her life.
The heroine doesn't dare to be marked for life with the hero, fearing that she may not recognize him well and end up in the wrong person.
The male protagonist does not know the female protagonist's secret, and he and the female protagonist have a series of chaotic and hilarious cross-channel exchanges on the issue of lifelong marking.
At this point in the movie, the hero mistakenly thought that the heroine was afraid of pain, so he went to the hospital to try the pain of the lifelong mark, and it hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes. After returning, he told the heroine that he had gone to the hospital and understood everything...
Someone in the theater laughed. Tang Bai threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth and said, "Brother Xie, although the lifelong mark is painful, if that person is you..."
Xie Ruheng turned his head and looked at Tang Bai and muttered, "I think it's okay."
"If I really cry in pain, just remember to kiss me."
Li Songyun's storyline has ended in the main story. I may mention it in the sequel. I'm working on it now. It should be posted around noon tomorrow.
