Chapter 31: CH 28

Dr. He said, “That’s it. It’s not that there is no solution at all. Why don’t you two go for a pheromone compatibility test first?”

Qin Chu, “Why?”

Dr. He smiled slightly, “The pheromone dependence of secondary differentiation tends towards higher pheromone compatibility. Assuming your compatibility is 80%, then after the Omega encounters a 81% pheromone compatibility, you can successfully break out of the dependence on the lower alpha’s pheromone.”

Lu Tong, “This is not a long-term solution. In the end, it’s not about relying on other people’s pheromones.”

Dr. He said, “There is no other way. Omegas are born to be attached to alpha — Don’t record this sentence. I’m afraid of being reported. It’s just that I think you seem to be dissatisfied with your current alpha. Then you can let him give you reprieve with a temporary mark or other means until you find your right one.”

Lu Tong: …… What is this?

Isn’t that just using Qin Chu as a tool man1?

Not to mention Qin Chu, even he himself was not happy about it.

What Dr. He said was to ask Qin Chu to help him through the short window period. Since pheromones without the alpha will fail to appease the organs, then find an unlucky a to do the soothing.

Wait till he finds a real partner in the future, and then kick this unlucky ghost away.

Scum beyond words.

Lu Tong, “Impossible.”

Qin Chu glanced at him.

Lu Tong, “I’m not interested in men.”

This was a statement Qin Chu himself had said.

However, when Lu Tong said it, he seemed to have missed the opportunity to take the lead, and he lost a bit of impact for no good reason. So he felt a little embarrassed, and said, “Me too!”

As if he had to compete for the ups and downs.

Lu Tong thought with disdain: Childish. Who said that first?

Dr. He, “Wow. That’s not easy to manage. It’s hard to find a female A.”

He swiped twice and printed out a list. He said, “Take this list and check the compatibility degree first. If it is not high, it can be suppressed by simple surgery for two years. Looking at your age, you are still more than two months away from becoming an adult. Two years later, when it is time for legal marriage, then there should be a new way.”

Lu Tong, “What if I don’t want to get married?”

Dr. He held his hand upright in a saint like2 manner, “Then let us jointly look forward to China’s medical level spreading its wings and developing rapidly3.”

— — And a clinical experiment to solve pheromone dependence will be developed in two years.

The pheromone test requires a blood draw, and Lu Tong, who was a bit hypoglycaemic himself, was dizzy after the blood draw.

He sat on a stool quietly waiting for the test results, while Qin Chu, like a trick, fished out a candy from his pocket.

White Rabbit Creamy Candy4, the authentic one.

When he peeled off the candy paper, the milk fragrance was drilled into his nose.

Lu Tong turned his face sideways and looked at him. After Qin Chu took out the milk candy, he put it in his mouth, “What are you looking at? You thought I prepared it for you?”

Lu Tong, “Has anyone ever told you that you are prone to being lonely?”

Qin Chu, “No. You’re the first.”

He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Tong, “Is your head dizzy? Do you want to eat candy?”

Lu Tong didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

Qin Chu took out the cat teasing stick from his pocket.

Lu Tong: ？

“It’s so long, how did you stuff it in?” He was stunned.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Tong, “Is your head dizzy? Do you want to eat candy?”

Lu Tong didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

Qin Chu took out a cat teasing stick from his pocket.

Lu Tong: ？

“It’s so long, how did you stuff it in?” He was stunned.

Qin Chu pressed the cat teasing stick, “Retractable.” Thinking of the few times Lu Tong’s cat’s paws scratched it, he felt that he hadn’t seen enough. Now he was a little itchy and was eager to give it a try, “I’ll give you candy if you catch it.”

Lu Tong, “Do you need to turn left and get a check-up at the psychiatric department?”

Qin Chu was not hit by a few words of capitalism. The more he was repressed, the more courageous he became. He directly teased him with the cat teasing stick.

At first, Lu Tong ignored him, closed his eyes, and leaned back, intently waiting for the test result.

As a result, Qin Chu’s cat teasing stick followed him like a shadow. Even with his eyes closed, he could still see a shadow dancing in his red vision.

It was annoying to death.

Lu Tong opened his eyes without warning and grabbed the cat teasing stick.

“Are you done?!” He bared his teeth.

Qin Chu, “It’s boring.”

…… He really looked like a cat.

Qin Chu stuffed the candy into Lu Tong’s hand, “For you. A reward for catching it once.”

Lu Tong, “I don’t eat handouts. Take it back.”

Qin Chu, “You earned this by your own excellent performance. How can you call it a handout?”

Lu Tong was provoked by his two sentences. His usual calm and self-sustaining character collapsed repeatedly in front of Qin Chu.

Even he himself felt a little strange. How could Qin Chu make his “personality” collapse so easily?

He was about to have a fight with Qin Chu when the test result came out.

Lu Tong had a temporary truce with him, and the two of them went to the machine to scan the code together and got a hospital-specific — — It was a slanting report that wasn’t printed correctly.

Compatibility degree: 99.14%

It was rare to see both of them being silent.

The bustling voices in the hospital penetrated into Lu Tong’s ears but did not reach his brain.

It seemed that after meeting Qin Chu, things in his life that had been going smoothly in the first half had taken an unpredictable turn for the worse.

—— A 99% match. What was the difference between this f***ery and a terminal illness?

All the numbers on the test results were distorted, and when they fell into Lu Tong’s eyes, they all became six words: Either do it or else die.

He was in a daze and read the test result for a while. After a while, the test result turned into a marriage certificate in his hand.

There was also a picture of him and Qin Chu on it.

…… Spare my life.

If it was a dream, it would have come to an abrupt end there. But why hadn’t anyone woken him up yet?

As if to appeal to what he thought in his heart, in the next second, Lu Tong’s body was suddenly pulled by Qin Chu.

His consciousness instantly returned to his body, and his first reaction was to want to flare up.

Lu Tong crashed into his arms, and the Alpha’s cold fragrance quickly wrapped his whole body. He wanted to resist, but his instincts made him couldn’t help but act like a kitten and he rubbed against Qin Chu’s shoulder without batting an eyelid.

The door behind the two of them slammed shut.

It turned out that the medical staff were delivering the carts, and they had to go through the door behind the two of them. They didn’t notice that Lu Tong was standing by the door, and the door was closed immediately after they went out.

If Qin Chu didn’t pull him, Lu Tong’s head would have been caught in the door today.

As a result, Lu Tong’s chance of flaring up was gone.

“…… Thank you.”

Qin Chu, “No need. Why were you in a daze? Did you get muddle-headed with joy after seeing a ninety-nine percent match? The great deal of getting this handsome guy’s pheromones for free made you happy?”

In an instant, Lu Tong felt that his concern was superfluous, “Please conduct yourself with dignity.”

He looked down and saw that Qin Chu’s hand on the hem of his trousers was bleeding from a gash that was pinched by the door.

Lu Tong quickly picked up his hand, “Did you get hurt just now?”

Suddenly, his confidence became less strong.

Qin Chu, “Small wound.”

It seems that he got it when he yanked Lu Tong and held the door for him.

Lu Tong, “…… Is this a small wound? The cut is so big. Don’t you feel pain?”

Qin Chu said without the slightest hesitation, “It hurts.”

Lu Tong, “Why didn’t I hear your cry out when you are in this much pain? Dogs know how to bark when they get jammed.”

Qin Chu silently and slowly spit out four words, “Because it is embarrassing.”

Lu Tong：……

“Is there any gold bking award to be awarded at the end of the year in the King of Kings Competition? Or do you have a performance quota that you have to fulfil every month? Is it worth it for you to pretend to be such a bully? Just because it’s embarrassing to cry out?”

Qin Chu snorted, unable to deny it.

Lu Tong was a little angry. But when he looked at Qin Chu’s face, that anger disappeared again.

The young man’s cheeks had not yet grown. Although his figure had become upright and unparalleled, even half a head taller than him, there was still some baby fat visible to the naked eye on his face.

When he laughed, two tiger teeth loomed on his lips.

Even the first time he saw him at Old Zhao’s house, he still had Japanese hot-blooded anime playing in his bedroom.

He suddenly remembered that Qin Chu was actually just an underaged brat. So was it worth fighting with him here?

Lu Tong laughed to himself.

Qin Chu was curious and asked quietly, “What are you laughing at?”

Lu Tong, “I’m laughing at you for being three years old. Let’s go, ancestor. Let’s get you some gauze and iodine.”

Qin Chu spoke in a tone of utterly foul-smelling straight a-ism, “A man’s wound is nothing. It will be healed before we walk to the pharmacy in the west.”

Lu Tong, “Too much nonsense. You don’t need to spend money. I will bandage you at my own expense.”

It was already one o’clock in the afternoon when the two returned to the internal medicine consulting room after finishing taking care of Qin Chu’s wound.

When Dr. He saw them coming in, he smiled and said hello. Seeing a thick circle of gauze on Qin Chu’s hand, he gasped, “Is the comrade in the blood draw department so cruel now? How many litres did you let him take away?”

Lu Tong patiently explained, “It was a hit that he got on the road. Not a wound from the blood draw test.”

Having said that, he put his test results in front of Dr. He.

Dr. He picked it up and took a look, and the big ninety-nine percent swayed in front of him.

“Wow. So high.”

Lu Tong, “I have eyes. I saw it.”

Dr. He touched his chin, “This is too difficult to manage. 99.14% basically can’t be exceeded.”

Qin Chu was unobtrusively proud in his heart, but then he asked himself strangely: What am I proud of?

He asked with a calm face, “Why can’t it be exceeded? What if there is a 99.5%?”

Dr. He said calmly, “It’s impossible. 99.14% is actually 100%.”

Lu Tong, “But it shows 99.14%.”

Dr. He, “Of course. If the test result shows 100%, you won’t believe it — Don’t record this one either. It’s an internal secret of our hospital. 99.14% is just giving you an approximate figure to put your mind at ease. It can be rounded up to 100%. It will just look unprofessional for our machines to write 100%. Wouldn’t it look more reliable with two more decimals after it?”

Lu Tong：……

Not really.

And the most unreliable person here is you, Dr. He!

Dr. He held the test result and sighed with great emotions for a while, “I have never seen such a high case. If it weren’t for my professional ethics, I would have taken a picture and sent it to my Moments now. Mr. Lu, there has never been such a high degree of matching in the past 50 years. This is a natural choice.”

Lu Tong, “Do you think I want to hear this?”

Also natural selection.

How about filming Animal World?

Dr. He said, “This is not the second differentiation of you. This is God rewarding your boyfriend. It’s not easy to meet one this high, otherwise……”

Lu Tong and Qin Chu both had a lot going on in their minds, but when they heard what Dr. He said, they thought that there was a turning point.

As a result, Dr. He said, “Otherwise, let me take a picture with you. It can be regarded as an asset in my career as a doctor.”

…… You can’t expect him to say something reliable.

Lu Tong held his forehead. He seemed to be having a real headache.

The matching rate was close to 100%. If it gets to the government, perhaps they will send someone down to act as a go-between5.

Dr. He said lightly and cheerfully, “Think more about the benefits. You can also stay away from alphas in this life. Thinking about it, it’s actually not that difficult to manage. For example, as a writer, can’t you stay at home for the rest of your life?”

Lu Tong, “Do you think your suggestion can help me?”

Dr. He continued to suggest, “Otherwise. You let your classmate — This is your classmate, right? Let him help you get through the difficulties in front of you for the next two years, and when you graduate, you can actually have the gland removal surgery if you want to avoid this rejection reaction.”

Lu Tong felt that nothing Dr. He said was right. He got the test result and his whole body was sick.

No exposure to alphas?

Not very realistic.

He still had one year before the college entrance examination, and there were so many alphas in the university. So how could he avoid them completely?

Unless, as Dr. He said, you don’t have contact with people for the rest of your life — That’s even more unrealistic.

But, complete the mark with Qin Chu?

Help. This is karmic retribution for him, right?

Not to mention his own resistance to the final mark, when talking about Qin Chu alone — He was still young, and his family background was not something that the middle-class Lu Tong could reach. The two were of completely different worlds. How could the other party be with him……

Even though the two of them did get connected due to an unexpected turn of events, the road would not be so easy to follow.

Not to mention now — — Strangely, they can finish some of each other’s sentences and they can calmly say a few words without fighting which is the best sign of friendship.

Qin Chu was so annoying. Lu Tong’s teeth itch and his cat’s paws want to scratch him twice at the sight of him.

The road in front of him was impassable and inaccessible.

Judging by Lu Tong’s face, it was no different from being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

As he was leaving, Dr. He stopped Lu Tong and handed him his card.

Lu Tong, “?”

Dr. He, “I’m not going to lie. Actually, I have a part-time job in a photo studio in the city centre that specialises in taking photos for marriage certificates. In case you guys need it, you can also make an appointment with me.” He paused and said with great business sense, “20% discount for couples chosen by fate.”

Lu Tong, “…… Do you want me to break your bone?”

This business card felt scalding hot in his hand.

After leaving the hospital, Qin Chu, who had kept silent all this time, asked, “What are you going to do?”

Lu Tong, “I don’t know”

What else could he do? There was simply no drug that could suppress one’s resistance to other alpha pheromones.

The only way to hold on was to rely on Qin Chu’s temporary mark.

And it wouldn’t last much longer. There was no telling when the systemic problem of the secondary differentiation will be exposed. It was like a time bomb. Once it exploded, what awaited Lu Tong was a raging and terrifying rut or the kind that required the final marking to be completed.

Moreover, he couldn’t blame Qin Chu.

It was Lu Tong himself who had asked for the temporary mark during the first heat before.

Now it was going to be over — When something like this happens, he couldn’t just do an about-face and become hostile or become a bastard who scolds people after he lifts his pants. Lu Tong couldn’t do that.

For the same reason, he couldn’t ask Qin Chu for a temporary mark over and over again.

The association with pheromones could be addictive, which was why schools forbid students to fall in love early. Once addicted, both of them would crave further development, and the result that was waiting for the young lovers was carrying two children in three years.

Lu Tong pondered his next move as he walked forward.

Qin Chu stepped in front of him, looked down, and asked, “What do you mean you don’t know?”

Lu Tong looked up at him, and for a moment, he almost gave in.

…… Or else, just brazenly ask Qin Chu to give him pheromones for a year.

Before Lu Tong could say anything, Qin Chu said in a vast and mighty voice with imperial kindness, “Otherwise, I’ll begrudgingly lend you some pheromones.”

Lu Tong: …… I suddenly don’t want to take it.

“Promising so readily gives me an ominous feeling. Is this the weasel paying the chicken a courtesy call on New Year’s Day6?”

Qin Chu retorted, “There is no weasel as handsome as me in the world. And if there is, it would be the chicken who would be paying me a New Year’s courtesy call. You can also not ask for it. Let’s see how long you can persist.”

Lu Tong became a bit stubborn and thought: What if I’ll persist?

As a result, before he could come off it, he felt a wave of discomfort in the back of his neck.

As he walked out of the hospital, the alpha pheromones coming and going at the door all rushed towards him.

He was dizzy. His chest felt tight and he was short of breath. And He felt extremely nauseous.

Qin Chu took a few steps forward when the corner of his coat was tugged by Lu Tong.

Lu Tong’s ears were burning red, “…… Just give it to me for a year. No IOU.”

Qin Chu stood still and looked at him with great interest, “How do you plan to pay it back?”
