Let the system try to save the world
Chapter 18 Old things
During the differentiation period, Lu Jingming was much more well-behaved than usual. Xitong was kind enough to give him a day off and personally brought meals to him.
Lu Jingming looked listless the whole day and didn't eat much. He had a low fever all the time and held Xitong tightly and was unwilling to let go.
Xitong naturally had a thousand ways to get rid of him, but once he was about to leave, Lu Jingming hugged him and bit him like a mad dog, leaving many teeth marks on his neck and shoulders.
Perhaps it was the alpha's nature to want to mark others. He took Xitong's neck by the back while she wasn't paying attention and wouldn't let go, rubbing it a little bit with his sharp fangs, as if he was tasting something delicious.
Xitong didn't indulge him. Once he felt pain, he would raise his hand and hit him. It was acceptable for him to hug her, but it was not good for her to bite. What if she gave him rabies? He sat cross-legged on the bed, typing quickly on his tablet, his hands moving non-stop. He scolded, "Don't push your luck."
"I like you." Lu Jingming said in a muffled voice, "I suddenly like you very much."
"It's the hormones that are at work." Xitong replied, "You don't like me, it's just that the hormones secreted by some gland in your brain make you subconsciously rely on me when you are vulnerable. You are irrational now."
"Then my hormones... aren't they also me?" Lu Jingming closed his eyes and leaned under Xitong's hands, using his head to push the tablet away. "Do you hate me?"
"Actually, I don't want to talk to you now." Xitong sighed.
"I think." Lu Jingming said, "According to your logic, I am very vulnerable now. You have the obligation as a brother to relieve my negative emotions."
"Okay." Xitong ruffled his silver hair and put the tablet aside. "To be honest, I don't hate you."
"Because I neither hate you nor like you." Xitong smoothed his bangs one by one. "We are not related by blood. I will not be influenced by the mysterious blood to have a good impression of you. Similarly, I have no obligation to forgive your mistakes. I don't want to have conflicts with you because of conflicts of interest. In another year, I will be 18 years old and an adult, and I will leave this family."
"Was I too much before?" Lu Jingming said sullenly.
"A little bit." Xitong replied, "Although you didn't cause me physical harm, words can also hurt people, and cold violence is also violence."
"If I apologize to you, can you please not leave?" Lu Jingming pleaded, "I like my current life. I want to continue to practice boxing with you in the morning, have breakfast together, and go to school together."
"This isn't an apology." Xitong touched his head, "I just want to live my own life. I have a lot of things to do."
"Can't I join you?" Lu Jingming was about to cry.
"I won't stop to wait for you." Xitong said, "The road is there. I just walked a little faster. As long as you are willing to walk, of course I can catch up with you."
"Okay." Lu Jingming seemed to have made up his mind. "Just wait, I will definitely catch up with you."
"Brother..." Lu Jingming reached out to touch his face, staring at Xitong's face which seemed to be becoming more and more delicate. His facial features were still the same, but his spirit and energy seemed different. "So this is what it feels like to have a brother."
"Do you know the story of my parents?" Lu Jingming began to talk to himself, "My omega father and my dad didn't have much emotional foundation. It should be a business marriage. Giving birth to me was like completing a mission."
"My dad respects my father very much, but everyone can see that they don't get along. My father always wants my dad to be with him, but my dad prefers his work, so they are always apart." Lu Jingming continued, "When I was young, my father always told me how my dad owed us, and I thought so too. I just want them to be together forever."
"Later," Lu Jingming said casually, "Father probably couldn't hold on any longer. Whenever he came back, we would quarrel endlessly, so he came back less and less. Father was in poor health to begin with. At first, he couldn't sleep at night and always took a lot of medicine. He treated me worse and worse. He placed all his hopes on me. He wanted me to improve myself and become someone I didn't even recognize myself. It seemed that this would make Father change his mind."
"But I still miss him very much." Lu Jingming said softly, "Sometimes I get very scared because of my own indifference and suspicion. I'm afraid of becoming like them."
"So I really hated all the omegas in the world at that time." Lu Jingming continued, "Have you been to the utility room of the villa? There are many of my father's works collected there. When my father was young, he was just like Xi Qihuang, maybe even better than Xi Qihuang. He painted many oil paintings and held his own art exhibition."
"It's just because of the AO combination. The marked omega will subconsciously obey its alpha because of the pheromones. Therefore, even in the end, my father never thought of divorcing my dad, even though they had no feelings for each other anymore." Lu Jingming took a deep breath, "Sometimes I saw my father staring blankly in front of the drawing board for a long time. When I used the drawing paper to scribble, my father no longer scolded me."
"He couldn't hold a paintbrush. He couldn't draw a straight line or a curve."
"I envy you and hate you at the same time." Lu Jingming tightened his grip on Xi Tong's waist. "Why can Xi Qihuang be so determined to wash off that person's mark? Why is your father willing to protect you and support you in doing what you like?"
"What's more, Dad likes you more." Lu Jingming whispered, "He won't scold you or hit you. I've even heard him call you 'my baby' himself. He's never called me that."
"I have to refute you." Xitong listened quietly and spoke.
"Go ahead." Lu Jingming said dejectedly, "You should be able to easily piss me off to death now, but I don't have the energy to refute you."
"First of all, pheromones may indeed make you like me, but if you still have your mind, pheromones will not make you fall in love with me." Xitong said, "Before we are dominated by pheromones, humans are first advanced animals."
"Besides, it's precisely because you are Uncle Lu's biological child that he would beat and scold you." Xi Tong said calmly, "Because if he hits me, there is a 99% chance that I will fight back."
"One last thing, is it possible that 'my baby' was not calling you or me?" Xitong spread his hands, "Uncle Lu should have been calling my father at that time."
