Chapter 20 Chapter 20 I Just Want a Temporary Mark
You can do anything to me if you want.
Even if you use me like you did in my previous life, it doesn’t matter. This is what I want.
Shen Xiliu's gaze fell on Qi Yan's face, carefully tracing his facial contours. He was so familiar with him that as long as he closed his eyes, he could see this face in his mind. Every detail was almost engraved in the depths of his soul.
So familiar, yet so strange.
Although he was clearly feeling pain from this strangeness, he was grateful countless times that Qi Yan was different from him.
So let's just keep it that way.
Don't think about it, don't think about it...
"I have used up all the spare omega-3 inhibitors here, and now it exceeds the safe value." Shen Xiliu tried hard to control his impulse and stared at him word by word.
Qi Yan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes widened slightly: "How long...has it been since you last used pheromone inhibitors?"
When pheromones exceed the safe range, they will cause irreversible damage to the glands. Patients with pheromone disorders like Chen Xiliu are likely to develop glandular lesions, and once they deteriorate to this extent, it will be difficult to recover.
"Probably... just over five hours." Shen Xiliu thought about it, unsure, and not caring.
His pupils were a little difficult to focus, but they were still fixed on Qi Yan's face, trying hard to look at him.
There was a time when Shen Xiliu liked Qi Yan's eyes the most, because every time he was looked at by this pair of affectionate and gentle peach blossom eyes, he always had the illusion that he was deeply loved by him.
But later he was a little afraid to look at it.
Shen Xiliu reached out and pulled off the black pheromone-suppressing collar from his neck. His wet, messy black hair stuck to his cheeks and neck, and his cheeks were a sickly red.
“The pheromones in my body are still rising. If they don’t come down, it will probably be very troublesome, so I hope you can mark me, please…” Shen Xiliu’s voice trembled a little.
Please, tag me.
Even if you don't like me, you can use me to your heart's content.
The cuffs of the blue hospital gown slid down, revealing that his left wrist was not covered by the expensive watch. Qi Yan's eyes fell on his pale and slender wrist, which was covered with hideous and distinct scars. Each wound was very deep, even cutting an artery. It was obvious that Shen Xiliu had really wanted to commit suicide.
Qi Yan reached out and grabbed Shen Xiliu’s wrist, stared at him and said, “Mr. Shen, you will regret it when you wake up.”
“I won’t!” Shen Xiliu’s eyes were red, his cheeks were sickly flushed, madness and calmness intertwined, gradually becoming distorted and unable to restrain himself, so he lowered his head, not daring to let Qi Yan see his expression, and said almost pleadingly, “I won’t, you obviously know it, you obviously know it… I like you, I won’t regret it!”
It has come to this point, but Qi Yan is still controlling the alpha signal. Chen Xiliu sometimes really hates the alpha's instincts. Compared to omega, they have absolute rationality and control, and are better at maintaining a rational attitude.
"Qi Yan, just think of it as saving my life."
Shen Xiliu rested his forehead on his shoulder, his voice trembling with pain, his eyes hiding madness, the pheromones running rampant in his body made him unable to control his emotions, tears rolled out of his eyes uncontrollably.
It’s really embarrassing, but there are scenes that are even more embarrassing than this. At least it hasn’t reached the irreversible point of the previous life, right?
"I know you don't like me and you have someone else you like, but an alpha can't only mark one omega. I just want a temporary mark. The person you like..."
He must be a good person, not dark and twisted like me, hiding in the darkness like a disgusting poisonous snake, spying on everything about you, jealous of all those who are treated kindly by you, wishing to control you and trap you in a cage.
...What a ridiculous scene. Qi Yan looked at the embarrassed Shen Xiliu and wondered, why did it turn out like this?
He held Shen Xiliu's shoulder with one hand, picked up the pheromone inhibitor on the ground with the other hand, and said calmly: "I understand. Shen Xiliu, when you wake up, we will have a good talk."
Patients with pheromone disorder have confused thoughts, cannot control their bodies, and even cannot control the words they speak.
"If you still don't change your mind after you sober up, I will face this matter and treat you seriously instead of just perfunctorily."
Hearing his words, Shen Xiliu's body stiffened for a moment and he wanted to straighten his upper body.
"Don't move, it might hurt."
Qi Yan pressed down Shen Xiliu's body as he tried to get up, half hugged him, and inserted the needle precisely into the gland at the back of his neck. Such pain was nothing to Shen Xiliu, but he still shrank back subconsciously.
“I’m sorry.” Qi Yan noticed his movements and stroked the back of Shen Xiliu’s head with his hand. His fingertips touched his head, which was warm and gentle, as if comforting him.
The fingers push the syringe gently and slowly, allowing the inhibitor solution to penetrate into the gland at a uniform rate, with gentle and soft movements.
All the struggles disappeared under his comfort.
Chen Xiliu suddenly found that the empty room was very quiet. Although he did not smell any alpha pheromones, the restless pheromones in his body seemed to be soothed. The wave of despair that caused physical and mental pain gradually faded away. After suffocating for a long time, he was finally able to breathe.
"I can't take advantage of someone's misfortune to mark a sick omega. If you are still willing after you wake up, and our pheromone matching degree is above 90%, I am willing to cooperate with the hospital and 'treat' you together."
Qi Yan was still talking to him, in an unprecedentedly gentle and low voice, like a lover whispering in his ear. Shen Xiliu's always tense nerves collapsed under such treatment, and he became dazed and exhausted.
"It's all right now. Are you tired? Don't worry about anything, don't think, don't be nervous, I will always be with you. Just listen to my voice, slowly close your eyes, breathe slowly, imagine that you are in a safe and comfortable place, your body and mind will become more and more relaxed, you must be very sleepy, right? Go to sleep, in this safe place, fall into a dream..."
The soothing and gentle voice murmured like magic, like the breeze in the forest, bringing a natural comfort that made Shen Xiliu unable to resist. His thoughts became fuzzy, and he could only be led step by step into the dream by him.
“…”
Qi Yan held the back of Shen Xiliu's head, who had been hypnotized to sleep, and made him bury his face in his neck. He did not move, just sat on the ground, quietly accompanying Shen Xiliu.
In the hospital, the smell of disinfectant filled the air, and Shen Yunshu walked out of the ward.
Qi Yan, who was sitting outside, stood up and looked at him: "Director Shen, may I ask how is Mr. Shen's health?"
"His condition is now stable. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time." Shen Yunshu rubbed his forehead. "I didn't expect such a mistake would happen this time. Fortunately, you showed up in time, otherwise his condition would probably have worsened."
After Shen Xiliu disappeared, Shen Yunshu immediately sent people to look for him in the apartment, but they couldn't find him. If Chen Xiliu wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him. Even if he died of pain in the corner, he would not come out on his own initiative.
Fortunately, Qi Yan found him, fortunately Qi Yan was a specialist in pheromone disorder research, and fortunately he had relevant medicines in his backpack, otherwise Chen Xiliu's condition could have become even worse tonight.
"Director Shen." Qi Yan said hesitantly, "Can I see Mr. Shen's medical records?"
He wanted to know more about the current situation of Shen Xiliu to avoid such a thing from happening again next time.
Shen Yunshu glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, come with me, I also have something to ask of you."
"?"
Qi Yan was a little confused, but Shen Yunshu didn't rush to explain. He took him to the office, found Shen Xiliu's medical record and handed it to him.
"You go take a look first. Xi Liu's situation is quite complicated. In addition to the pheromone disorder, he has a lot of other problems. Even the medicine can't be used casually."
Qi Yan's eyelids jumped: "Then the injection of inhibitor I gave him at that time..."
"It's okay, you used it right." Shen Yunshu took out cigarettes and a lighter from his desk, "You don't mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
"As you wish."
This is Shen Yunshu's private office, not open to the public. Qi Yan had no objection. When the other party asked him if he wanted one, he refused.
Shen Yunshu lit a cigarette and handed him a document. "This was automatically matched by the medical system when you came here for a physical examination. It may be a bit offensive, but the pheromone match between you and Xi Liu is very high. Even if it is just an approximate value, it has reached 90%. If further examination is carried out, it should be even higher."
"Is it because of his illness?" Qi Yan was not surprised when he saw the match between their pheromones.
When Shen Xiliu's pheromones could still affect Qi Yan's body even after he had made sufficient preparations, he estimated that their compatibility would not be too low.
Even though the omega-3 hormone was too concentrated, it wouldn't have such a big impact after taking the inhibitor. Qi Yan even suspected that his susceptible period might come early.
Shen Yunshu smoked a cigarette and said, "Well, his condition is getting worse. A long time ago, I wanted to help him find an alpha with a high degree of matching, extract the other party's pheromone to relieve the pressure on the omega gland, and wait until the condition improves, then use medication to regulate it, but he refused."
"You've known him for so long, you should be able to tell, right? He's a very strong, proud, and willful person. Sometimes he's even more dictatorial and conceited than I am. He's cold and unfriendly to people around him."
Shen Yunshu seemed to have forgotten that he was also a dictator. He said with a look of disdain, "I heard that you and he are neighbors? You must have worked so hard. You can't stand this guy, right? He always causes trouble for others. He is sarcastic and has a sharp tongue. He is simply an anti-human existence..."
"Uh... not really. Mr. Shen is a nice person." Qi Yan said uncomfortably when meeting Shen Yunshu's poor look.
The Shen Xiliu you know and the Shen Xiliu I know seem to be different.
"Tsk, don't speak for him. As his elder, I know him best." Shen Yunshu blew out smoke rings, his silver-rimmed glasses shone white, making the dark circles under his eyes look very heavy. "With his personality, he won't accept you using Alph Xisu to help him, but you can't let him continue to be willful this time."
"If you are willing, Qi Yan, I will lend him your pheromones. In fact, it would be even better if you could mark him. The best medicine to treat glandular disease is the pheromone of your partner, and no medicine can replace it. But if you do this, he will be mad to death first, and he will not respect you, so forget it."
Shen Yunshu took the last puff of his cigarette and put it out.
He could tell that Shen Xiliu must admire Qi Yan very much, but based on his understanding of Shen Xiliu, he would never agree to be tagged by others, let alone Qi Yan, whom he had only known for a short time.
Qi Yan: “…”
He reached out and touched his nose. What was I originally going to say?
