midsummer night

In autumn, He Xiyuan found that his use of inhibitors began to increase, but the doctor still could only prescribe a certain amount of inhibitors each time.I don't know when, each hospital began to have a share limit for the inhibitors that can be dispensed to Omega. He Xiyuan asked friends around him, and there were similar situations.

Most of my friends will finally say: "Find an Alpha, find an Alpha and it will be solved."

Finding an Alpha in order to solve the physical needs of the second half of life sounds like a complete deal.

The number of births has fallen every year for the past 20 years. The birth population ratio of Omega and other sexes is 1:5. Beta and Alpha shout in private and public places that they can’t find a partner. There are too few Omega, and Omega is prohibited from using inhibitors and suppressors.

His parents dragged him to have a suppressor implanted, inexplicably bought him a lot of time to be alone, although the price was physical and sexual.

The house that He Xiyuan rented is close to the school district in the old city. The house is old, but there is no market for it.He rented it by chance, the Omega landlord and his partner separated, and only wanted a single, good-quality young Omega to help her look after the house.

The corridor is an old-fashioned concrete floor. Due to long-term use and disrepair, there are traces of potholes on the ground. The building is more than 30 years old, mostly elderly and middle-aged people, and some families move into the building so that their children can go to school. There are very few young people like He Xiyuan.

During the day or night on weekends, there are uniformed police knocking on the door.

"Bang bang bang—" the next door thought of a loud knock on the door.

He Xiyuan sat in the room and glanced at the door, listening to the voices of the police and neighbors outside the door: "Identification information check... routine check... There is no special reason, personnel registration."

He Xiyuan seldom turns on the lights at night, and the bedroom windows are covered with blackout curtains to cover the light.Wearing socks, he walked lightly to the door on the floor, waited for the knock on the door to confirm that no one was knocking in the room where he lived, then tore off the black tape on the cat's eye, and took a look outside.

There was no one in the corridor, one in the aisle was broken, and only one was barely lit with a deep yellow light, and there was darkness in the distance.

Then he put the tape back on and walked quietly back into the room.

Sitting under the warm yellow light in the room, I read half of "Omega Psychoanalysis" on the screen of the reader and couldn't read it any longer.

When he was flustered, his first reaction was not to shout or run, but to take a knife.There are knives in his drawers, backpack, and behind the bedside lamp holder, mostly foldable military knives or small fruit peeling knives.

His grip on the handle is practiced, piercing thick reusable foam or cardboard from all angles.Recently, he was often distracted while holding the knife, and he always felt that someone would hold his wrist, and then the person would hug him and back away, blocking him behind him.

Without the Inhibitor, the physiology of the Omega has always existed in uncertainty.He wandered around the dimly lit deep sea, feeling that huge tentacles would attack from somewhere at any moment.Or maybe the tentacles have been swimming by his side, just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

The summer heat receded, and the autumn wind poured in from the corridor and under the door.When I go to work every morning, I can see the good weather in early autumn on the 5-minute walk from the subway.

This was his favorite season, but the physiological response of the glands made him suffer from insomnia and headaches. Sometimes before falling asleep with painkillers in his mouth, he suddenly wanted to find a warm body to hug.Subconsciously, the body is powerful and tall, and smells of pine wood at night.

In that smell fantasy, he lay in bed, either unable to sleep or let out until the next morning.

He Xiyuan felt that his mental and physical state was gradually affecting his work. Instead of being trapped in a nightmare of hallucinations and immersed in the eyes of his surroundings monitoring the activities of his glands all the time, he wanted to give himself some material comfort.

He looked through his few belongings, except for food, clothes, books that had been stored in the reader for many years, and inhibitors, he always felt that there was something missing.

In addition to the systematic high pressure in life, he should feel basically satisfied, but he still feels extremely lonely from time to time.He thought he shouldn't be so lonely. Compared with his peers, what did he lack?

It occurred to him that maybe he should get a cat, but he felt he couldn't take care of small animals well.

He doesn't need a partner, most Alphas are not as reliable as the wool coat he's been wearing for three years.

AO weddings are mostly like a sacrificial ceremony, with white trailing dresses, red gold-trimmed gowns, a room full of noisy and unfamiliar yin and yang faces, crying Omega and hypocritical parents.

What is he missing?He loathes weddings, but loves sparkling glasses and flowers, and a certain trinket in exchange.He thought he should go and buy a ring.

When he entered the jewelry store in the downtown mall, two other couples were picking out rings. Omega is good-looking, while Alpha is ugly and speaks loudly.

He walked calmly in front of the window, looking at the ring under the light.Diamonds, pearls, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, the salesman walked up to him and asked: "If you like it, can you try it, can you buy it for yourself?"

He Xiyuan nodded.

The other party asked again: "Are you going to get married?"

He Xiyuan replied: "No."

The other party said: "Ah, you can buy precious stones or small diamonds, and let Alpha buy better ones when you get married."

He Xiyuan glanced at the other party, and then said, "I won't get married."

Omegas have been brainwashed since childhood, and there will always be a partner in their lives who can give them that shining stone.He Xiyuan didn't want to give this opportunity to others, and the only person who would accompany him for the rest of his life was most likely himself.

He walked through three jewelry stores and picked out a smooth and wavy ring. He was the only Omega who stood in the window to choose a ring by himself. He didn't ask the non-existent partner around him, and he didn't ask the shop assistant too much for advice.

He tried on the rings, judged the style, and paid the bill. The process was very quiet.

Finally he looked at the light gold ring on his left ring finger and smiled.

There were few people in the store, and the clerk looked at him and wanted to have a chat with him, so he asked, "Do you have a partner?"

He Xiyuan: "No."

Clerk: "Then your future partner can buy you a better one in the future."

He Xiyuan left without saying a word.The clerk approached a couple who had just entered the door. It is always better to sell a couple than an Omega.For a sip of honey, it is necessary to persuade Omega to choose a high-priced one, and it is also necessary to persuade Alpha to choose an Omega that is worthy of expensive jewelry.

"You are very lucky to have found an Omega partner at such a young age. The ring is an item to be worn for a lifetime. Choose the same jewelry that can preserve its value."

Listening to the introduction next to him, He Xiyuan thought to himself that he is also very lucky that he doesn't have to spend his life with Alpha at such a young age.

He Xiyuan passed by a wedding dress shop and stopped in front of the shop.There are a few white dresses with trailing tails in the window, reflecting the warm white lights, and the golden silk pattern is shining softly.

He paused for a while, then walked into the shop.

Not long after, He Xiyuan stood in front of the mirror in a white dress.

The trailing lines of the dress were smooth, and he thought he would look like a winter bear, but the reflection in the mirror was unexpected.The white fabric was a fine blend of wool and silk, making his face fair and youthful.

The white color adds a bit of clarity and purity to his body, although he is not a person with a bright personality.

Standing in front of the mirror, he didn't pay attention to a Beta not far from the store, just like he didn't listen to the clerk's compliment.He looked at himself in white clothes in front of the mirror, as if looking at a strange reflection that would never become reality.

On the other side of the store, a Beta walked around the store, originally wanting to find a corner where He Xiyuan didn't pay attention, but found that even if he walked past He Xiyuan, the other party would not give him a second look, so he quietly walked by Three photos were taken on the side and back, and then slipped away from the door.

After the meeting on Monday morning, Clara held a cup of coffee and said to Lu Chengfeng with a smile: "I went out with my partner on weekends and met Xiaoyuan by chance. He doesn't bring any companions with him when he goes shopping on weekends, ignores shopping guides, and pays quickly. Coolest Omega."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyes: "Xiao Yuan?"

Clara: "That's right, the nicknames that Lawyer Jin and I got are cute, aren't they?"

Lu Chengfeng: "What did he buy?"

Assistant: "A ring, and then I went to the dress shop to try on a few sets of clothes, and they looked good."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and a photo of He Xiyuan wearing a white dress with tails appeared in front of Lu Chengfeng unexpectedly.

Lu Chengfeng almost knocked over the coffee cup in his hand, he took the assistant's mobile phone to him, and asked, "The ring and the dress, and then what?"

Clara: "Then I left. I didn't buy the dress. I heard from the driver that I picked a grapefruit at the fruit stand for 10 minutes on the way home."

Lu Chengfeng: "..."

Clara: "The photo was taken by my partner, so I didn't bother him. For the ring, I saw the branded bag in his hand, so I went to the store to ask about it."

Lu Chengfeng: "Does he have to buy rings and dresses by himself?"

Clara: "Good question, but he doesn't look like he's getting married. He just stood there staring at the mirror after trying on the dress, and didn't take a picture."

Lu Chengfeng felt like he was going crazy.Whether Yan Xun or others, whether He Xiyuan has found a partner, he has no idea.

When he decided to live with his partner, he has no way of knowing.

There are not many people around Omega, except colleagues and classmates.He lives alone, commutes promptly, and doesn't even like crowded social situations.

After all, it had been so many years since their reunion, and he didn't know what impression Omega had on him in his memory.Before seeing He Xiyuan again, he would not stay in Beijing for more than a few months at a time.

As for Yan Xun, the other party brought different Omega to various occasions from time to time, and never mentioned He Xiyuan to the people around him.And the senior that the platform said was the one who was dating, there was indeed no one else except Yan Xun.Although Lu Chengfeng and Yan Xun are not as familiar as others think, he still hears about Yan Xun's new date occasionally.

Lu Chengfeng felt a sense of renegade anger.He has to buy rings by himself, and clothes to try on alone, but his Alpha partner is not around.

He wanted to keep He Xiyuan within his sphere of power, and rushed to the senior who called him, matching the number with that long-standing pheromone that was close to 100%.
