Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Why do you like me?
Shen Yunshu acted quickly and worked overtime overnight. With Qi Yan's cooperation, he quickly extracted and purified his pheromones and injected him with a needle before Shen Xiliu woke up.
"How does it feel?" Shen Yunshu asked Qi Yan, jokingly, "Personally extracting your own pheromones, purifying them yourself, and injecting them into the omega's body, do you feel a little complicated?"
As an alpha, Shen Yunshu believed that he understood the instincts and possessiveness of alphas. Even if the essence was extracted and purified and then injected into the body of an omega, it was inevitable that some subtle thoughts would arise.
Qi Yan found that Shen Yunshu had a bad temper and said speechlessly: "...Director, you are not acting very professionally now. The important thing now is to observe Mr. Shen's condition, right?"
Shen Yunshu is obviously an expert in pheromone research. Isn't it a common thing for him to extract his own pheromones or other people's pheromones for research?
Although he felt a little subtle in his heart, that was based on the premise that Shen Xiliu had feelings for him and had said those words to him.
"Don't worry, he's recovering faster than you thought." Shen Yunshu said, "It seems that your pheromone compatibility is higher than you thought."
It takes a long time to measure the A-sign element matching degree without error. Shen Yunshu originally guessed that it was between 90% and 95%, but looking at the current situation, it is estimated to be above 95%, so Shen Xiliu can recover so quickly.
"It's enough as long as I can help Mr. Shen." Qi Yan didn't care about this. No matter how much the pheromone matching degree is, it has been confirmed that it is more than 90%, that's enough.
Qi Yan did not stay in the hospital any longer. He got off work at two in the morning, and then stayed with Shen Xiliu and Shen Yunshu until morning. Now that Shen Xiliu's condition was stable, Shen Yunshu asked him to go back and rest first.
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Take a good rest today. It's already eight o'clock in the morning." Shen Yunshu looked at the time. He has been busy since Shen Xiliu disappeared, and now he is somewhat tired.
"Staying up late is bad for your health. I'm old and can't toss around like you young people. It's really unbearable."
Qi Yan worked with Shen Yunshu all night, extracting and purifying pheromones. Seeing that Shen Xiliu's condition was stable, he did not refuse the car that Shen Yunshu arranged for him to take back home.
After everyone left, Shen Yunshu smoked a cigarette outside. After clearing his mind, he returned to the ward and looked at the person lying on the bed, waiting quietly for a while.
Shen Xiliu slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Shen Yunshu. His messy black hair fell diagonally on his narrow and sinister black eyes. His face was pale and his outline was shadowed. His lips were very light in color and his expression was a little cold.
"He's gone?"
"What else?" Shen Yunshu put his hands in the pockets of his white lab coat and stared down at him. "Why, do you still want the 'lifesaver' who helped you all night to continue to take care of you?"
Chen Xiliu ignored him and raised his right hand. The sleeve of his blue hospital gown slipped down, revealing his slender arm with traces of needle pricks on it. Those were the wounds caused by Qi Yan injecting his purified pheromones into his body.
The fingertips gently touched the needle hole, and the pale skin around it was lightly bluish purple. Shen Xiliu lowered his eyelids, his pupils were dark, with tiny spots of light, his cheeks were morbidly flushed, and his eyes seemed a little confused and crazy.
"Are you satisfied?" Shen Yunshu's voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Xiliu's gaze then slowly moved to him. If his second uncle was not here this time, he could arrange for the doctor to communicate with Qi Yan himself.
In this way, Qi Yan could be induced to mark him. With his gentle and responsible personality, the so-called secret crush would no longer pose a threat. Even if Qi Yan didn't like him, he would slowly fall in love with him due to the influence of the pheromones after being marked...
Thinking of this, Shen Xiliu said softly: “Uncle, you are really in the way.”
Shen Yunshu, who had worked hard all night, said: "..."
The cross vein on his forehead, which represented anger, jumped. The next second, a roar came out of the ward.
"You unfilial little bastard, if you want to die, just say so. Don't force me to save you and then beat you to death!!!"
…
Qi Yan went back and slept for three hours before waking up. His insomnia frequency recently was not as severe as before. He had more messy dreams, but he couldn't remember them clearly.
Worried about Shen Xiliu's condition, Qi Yan sent a message to Shen Yunshu after waking up but received no reply. He guessed that he might still be resting or had something to do and had no time to look at his phone. Without hesitating for too long, I couldn't help but go to the hospital to check on Chen Xiliu's condition.
"Qi Yan, you're here." As soon as he pushed open the door of the ward, he met Chen Xiliu's eyes. On the open table, there was a laptop and some documents, and he was handling official business.
After all that happened last night, is it possible to wake up and start working?
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Mr. Shen, when did you wake up? Are you feeling better?"
Looking into Shen Xiliu's eyes, he had not been wearing those glasses since last night. He looked more distant than usual, and his pale face made him look sickly.
"Well, I woke up around eleven o'clock." Shen Xiliu's eyes were gentle. He tilted his head, and his usually neatly groomed hair fell on his cheek. He thought for a while as if reminiscing before slowly speaking.
"I feel much better now. Please wait a moment. I will finish it soon." Shen Xiliu maintained a very elegant and calm appearance, almost like a different person from last night. He stared at the computer screen calmly without stopping his hands.
If he was in this state, Qi Yan would not be able to tell at all that he was a patient suffering from pheromone disorder.
But is there no one left in the Shen family? How to make a patient who just woke up work?
It was not convenient to say this. Seeing that his condition was indeed much better, Qi Yan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I just came to see how you are doing now. If you are fine, then I won't bother you..."
"Have you had lunch?" Shen Xiliu interrupted him.
“Uh… not yet.” After waking up, he originally planned to go eat something first, but he kept thinking about Shen Xiliu’s situation, so he went downstairs and took a taxi directly here without even having lunch.
Not to mention breakfast, as soon as I got home I closed my eyes and went to bed without eating anything.
Shen Xiliu's eyes became gentler. He closed his computer and said to Qi Yan, "I've asked my assistant to bring it to me just now. If you don't mind, let's eat together later."
"We also need to talk about what happened last night, right?"
——When you wake up, we will have a good talk.
——If your thoughts remain unchanged after you wake up.
——I am willing to cooperate with the hospital and "treat" you together.
The thing that he tried hard to ignore was suddenly brought up by Shen Xiliu. Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Everything that happened last night resurfaced in his mind. For a moment, he actually felt a little ashamed.
Especially when looking at Shangchen Xiliu's calm eyes.
"I understand. Since you want to talk, let's talk about it now." Qi Yan was silent for a moment, restraining his inner emotions and did not continue to avoid the other party's feelings.
He sat in a chair beside the bed and looked at Shen Xiliu calmly: “Mr. Shen, do you want to speak first or should I speak first?”
"...Before that, let me ask you a question. Why are you so serious? It's as if you are facing a great enemy."
Shen Xiliu leaned his elbows on the table, supported his face with the back of his hands and looked at him. His posture was somewhat relaxed, and compared with his usual image, he seemed to have some indescribable charm. He squinted his eyes and smiled at him.
Compared with the situation last night, it seems that a reversal has taken place now. After Shen Xiliu, who had gone mad due to illness, regained consciousness, he became more familiar with this aspect than Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was startled by Shen Xiliu's gaze, and his emotions fluctuated slightly, but he did not avoid Shen Xiliu's sight and said very calmly: "Because this matter is very important, we need to respect both parties, right?"
Shen Xiliu does not have such noble character as him. When rejecting someone, he will not forget to give the other party a way out. A too gentle refusal will have no effect at all, and will only make people remember him more, but he will not say that.
"You said it very well, but I still remember what I said last night. I like you and hope you can date me." Shen Xiliu said it very frankly. His beautiful narrow and dark eyes were always fixed on Qi Yan. His cold and aloof appearance did not look like someone who would take the initiative to confess.
I didn't expect him to say it so fluently. Qi Yan was stunned for a long while, still maintaining his serious attitude just now, with a slight frown on his face, just like when he was doing experiments rigorously, which destroyed the atmosphere of a confession.
"Why do you like me?" Qi Yan asked sincerely.
He doesn't believe in love at first sight, it's just lust at first sight.
If it was before last night, Qi Yan would have suspected that Chen Xiliu might have mistaken his dependence on him during his previous help as love, but everything that happened last night made him even more confused.
Shen Xiliu liked him much more than he thought, but this was wrong. They had only known each other for a short time, and Qi Yan had no way of finding out why Shen Xiliu was obsessed with him.
Could it be a substitute?
Maybe Shen Xiliu transferred his feelings for others to himself?
Qi Yan frowned, feeling a little disgusted. He shouldn't doubt someone like this.
So Shen Xiliu could only answer this question himself.
Shen Xiliu tilted his head and stared at him, and said softly: "Why wouldn't I like you?"
"If you want reasons, I can give you many. Since we met, you have helped me many times, whether it was breathing alkali poisoning, spraining my foot, or when I was about to be knocked down in the bar, you helped me. Is it strange to like to help yourself?"
"If these reasons don't work, why can't it be that I fell in love at first sight with your appearance? And then I was attracted by your inner qualities. After all, our communication so far has been pleasant, right? Or do you think you are unattractive? Shouldn't I like you?"
"That's not the case, I just don't understand..."
Qi Yan was well aware of the advantages of his appearance. What Shen Xiliu said made sense, but he could sense that Shen Xiliu seemed to be hiding something.
Chen Xiliu knew what Qi Yan didn't understand, but he didn't dare to say what he really thought. He stared at him and said, "Like is like. There are thousands of reasons to like someone, and it's impossible to list them all. But I like you, and I just like you. It's not influenced by anything else. It has nothing to do with pheromones or other people. It's just because you are Qi Yan."
You are Qi Yan, that’s enough.
