midsummer night

The voice rang for more than ten seconds, and when Xu Jiu was about to hang up, he connected, and He Xiyuan's voice came from the receiver: "Xu Jiu?"

Xu Jiu covered the receiver in the innermost compartment and whispered, "Xiyuan, are you already on vacation?"

He Xiyuan seemed to be very quiet, and the voice came over clearly: "Yes, I started my vacation a few days ago."

Xu Jiu: "Have you gone to Fenggang?"

He Xiyuan: "...so my plan seems so obvious?"

Xu Jiu: "Lu Chengfeng came to the hospital today to look for me and said he couldn't reach you."

There was silence for a long time, He Xiyuan asked: "How did I find you? Did he ask anything?"

Xu Jiu lowered his voice: "I don't know, I probably asked other people. I only mentioned eating with you—"

There was the sound of the door opening in the bathroom, followed by the sound of the sink flushing.

Xu Jiu whispered, "Why don't you send me a message?"

He Xiyuan said: "Okay, please don't say anything to anyone, please."

Xu Jiu replied: "Well, you don't have to worry. Do you know when you can... come back?"

He Xiyuan: "Soon, it will be over in three days. Everything is going well, I just don't want to be disturbed for the time being, so I didn't answer the phone. Sometimes I'm always afraid that I'll accidentally say something, and I'll miss it if I say too much. "

Xu Jiu: "Okay, then I'll hang up first, take care."

He Xiyuan: "Thank you, I'll be back in a few days, and we'll get together after rest. Lu——" he paused, "His business is causing you trouble."

Xu Jiu: "Don't say that, it's no trouble."

Xu Jiu came out of the bathroom and did not go back to find Lu Chengfeng, but went directly to the direction of the operating room.

Lu Chengfeng stood in the corridor of the hospital for a while, the afternoon sun washed the outer wall of the hospital into a golden white, looking a little pale.When he was about to leave, he felt the phone vibrate in his hand, and He Xiyuan's name lit up on the screen, and he opened the message immediately.

He Xiyuan: I have a cold in Fenggang, so I need to rest.I won't call today, I will contact you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.Everything is fine, don't worry.

Lu Chengfeng dialed the voice call almost immediately, and He Xiyuan answered it a few seconds later.

Lu Chengfeng: "Xiyuan?"

He Xiyuan: "Yes."

Lu Chengfeng: "Are you okay?" The hospital's voice was a bit noisy, which made his voice sound a little less deep than usual.

He Xiyuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "It's better, I just woke up, and I'll recover almost the next day."

Lu Chengfeng: "Tell me what you need, and I can come over."

He Xiyuan said in a low voice, "Well, you really don't need to trouble—"

Lu Chengfeng called out his name again: "Xiyuan."

He Xiyuan: "Huh?"

Lu Chengfeng: "Your affairs are not troublesome to me."

He Xiyuan: "..."

Lu Chengfeng: "The future partner mentioned in the interview is you, because I know you are not ready, so I never had time to tell you."

He Xiyuan: "..."

Lu Chengfeng: "We should have had many chances to meet each other, but it didn't happen. If we could have met earlier in Old Jersey or Beijing, whether it was after you graduated or during your studies, maybe we had been together very early .Oestrus or not doesn't change that fact."

He Xiyuan: "..."

Lu Chengfeng: "I love you."

The voice on the other end of He Xiyuan seemed to be muted, even the sound of breathing could not be heard, and the background was like a silent blank.

After a long time, He Xiyuan's voice seemed to be separated from the sound waves of the receiver and the distance of thousands of kilometers, and said softly: "I love you too."

After finishing the call, Lu Chengfeng stood there for a while.

On the floor of the Reproductive Department, there are pregnant Omegas moving slowly between corridors and departments. Most of them are accompanied by Omega mothers and Beta friends, and there are very few Alpha partners.

When Lu Chengfeng walked by, Omega looked up, curiously looking at his tall figure and extremely handsome face, but Lu Chengfeng didn't pay attention.In the corridor with the echo of the hospital broadcast and the slight smell of medicine, he could barely distinguish between different pheromones, and he had no intention of distinguishing them.

He quickly recalled every detail of He Xiyuan before he left Beidu in his mind, always feeling that he missed something.

A few months ago, He Xiyuan would regularly go to the hospital to register for the waiting list for suppressor surgery, but he has not been to the hospital once in the past month.

Since Xia Dao came back, He Xiyuan began to keep a distance from himself.Even lying on a bed and doing nothing, the movement of vague resistance is obvious enough. Omega used to have an indifferent expression, but now it has become a static blank.

For several hours in the morning and noon, He Xiyuan didn't answer the phone.But within 15 minutes after seeing Xu Jiu, he received a message from Fenggang.

During the period when he thought that He Xiyuan needed to get used to the space of getting along with each other, why did He Xiyuan still leave and cry in the middle of the night?

Before he went to Fenggang, he had a meal with Xu Jiu, why not other friends, but an obstetrician?

……

A very unreal but powerful explanatory thought rose in his mind, making his fingers and body almost shudder.

Lu Chengfeng didn't know what kind of voice he used to say to the butler: "Send someone to stay in the hospital to wait for Xu Jiu."

Then he got out of the hospital, got into the car and said to the butler, "Cancel the next five days' itinerary, and prepare a private jet to fly to Fenggang. The sooner the better."

The housekeeper began to contact the branch of Fenggang Company, and sent people to quickly contact public and private hospitals to inquire about the medical records of patients named He Xiyuan or HEXIYUAN.Lu Chengfeng didn't even need any other information, he only needed to know the department to verify his idea.

In recent years, Lu Chengfeng has rarely used his father's previous contacts, but the matter was urgent. He found the Fenggang Family Office that Lu Qian had hired in the early years, and asked the other party to find the name from the hotel and hospital.

From Beidu to Fenggang, the sky gradually turned from bright to dark.The takeoff time was later than he had hoped, and he looked out the window at night from time to time, calculating the time of landing.

A few hours later, Lu Chengfeng landed in Fenggang, got off the plane, got in the car and rushed to a certain hotel.

According to the records under He Xiyuan's name found by various parties, the front desk of the hotel confirmed that the guest will check in tomorrow, a total of three days.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Chengfeng received He Xiyuan's medical record. The time was that morning, and the department was obstetrics.In addition, doctors and hospitals refused to disclose any information.

He Xiyuan is not his legal partner, there is no evidence of any relationship between them, and even if it is his partner, the hospital insists on protecting the privacy of patients.

In the early morning, He Xiyuan sent a message to Lu Chengfeng: He will be back in three days.The air in Fenggang is very humid, and I am not used to it after staying in Beidu for so many years.

The tone was as if he was lying beside him and talking to Lu Chengfeng on weekdays, his voice was soft and casual.

But when Lu Chengfeng dialed back, He Xiyuan didn't answer, and hung up automatically because he didn't get through.

The night outside the window was extremely long and dark, and he could hardly close his eyes to fall asleep, the sound of his heart beating thumping in his chest.

After He Xiyuan sent the message, he switched his phone to airplane mode.He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, thinking about tomorrow's itinerary repeatedly: going to the hospital in the morning, then going to the hotel with his luggage, taking medicine to rest, and going out to eat some food in the evening to check his health.

He bought enough hygiene products and waited one to two days after taking the medicine. The embryo sac would be discharged on the third day.

Masses of tissue and blood will gushes out of the body, and the procedure can look gruesome.After taking the medicine, I will probably feel very uncomfortable physically and psychologically, and then I will continue to bleed for a few weeks, as if I am dying and slowly reborn.

Although it was tragic, he had to finish it in Fenggang. The risk of bringing the medicine back to Beidu was too great, and it was very likely that he would be found out and detained.

He Xiyuan felt tired and could hardly remember the timeline of the plan. He had to write it down with the notepad in his mobile phone, and delete while writing.

Most of the items have been packed in the suitcase, and the house is a little empty.It was also quiet outside the house, and the owner's daughters had probably fallen asleep.

Before falling asleep, he canceled the airplane mode, and instantly saw Lu Chengfeng's call and a row of unconnected voice records.He didn't call back, but let the phone vibrate under the quilt for a long time, and switched to airplane mode when the vibration stopped.

The window of the room faces southeast, and he will wake up as soon as the sun rises in the morning.

The next day when He Xiyuan arrived at the hospital very early, the waiting area of ​​the hospital was much cleaner than the day before.He didn't sleep well the night before, and his eyes were a little blue, but he had no time to care about the details, he just wanted to get the medicine as soon as possible.

When registering at the front desk, he felt that the nurse took a few extra glances at his ID, but quickly returned it to him.

The nurse handed over a piece of paper and said, "The doctor will see you right away. Here is a test report from yesterday."

He Xiyuan took the list, the content on it was similar to the items checked in Xiadao, and the items checked were written in more detail.Among more than a dozen blood items, he saw a few lines of unclear descriptions.

He looked down the test sheet until he reached the last line.

A sentence was written in extremely neutral words on the page: Samples were extracted from maternal serum, and the analysis results showed that no Alpha pheromone signals were found in the samples.

He read it several times before his mind exploded.

That embryo was just as he had vaguely guessed, an Omega.

Before he took the medicine, the doctor repeated it with him twice, and he had to come back on the third day after taking the medicine.He nodded mechanically, and returned to his residence in a daze.When the homeowner said goodbye to him, he forgot how he answered, and went to the hotel in a trance with his luggage.When he came out of the subway exit, he almost passed the station.

When he arrived at the front desk of the hotel, He Xiyuan showed his ID, and then in the process of swiping the card, paying and getting the room card, he didn't even say a complete sentence, just nodded and shook his head, answering yes and no.

After entering the hotel room, he opened the box, took out a clean dark towel and pants and put them on the edge of the bed, but did not get up to change them.

There was a sinking pain in his abdomen and heart, so he had to lie down and look sideways at the medicine box on the table, but he didn't reach out to open it.

He held the box of medicine and thought for a long time, wondering whether he should take something first, or just lie down, as if time would pass slower.
