pathological addiction

The pharmaceutical base is in a valley more than 240 kilometers away from City C, backed by a large medicinal plantation.

Lin Sheng slept all the way to the destination, and when he woke up, he found that he was still covered with Qu Boyuan's clothes.

"Thank you." Lin Sheng took off the clothes and returned them to him.Qu Boyuan didn't say anything, put away the computer, opened the door with his clothes and got out of the car.

It has just rained, and the rolling hills in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist, and terraced fields are dotted all over.Blooming magnolia flowers form a continuous patch around the factory building, and the colors range from pink and white to pink in layers, like the oil paint splashed by a talented painter.

Wang Jinghui, the person in charge of the pharmaceutical base, came forward with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qu, Professor Lin, you have worked hard on the road!"

They shook hands one by one and said some irrelevant scene words.Wang Jinghui asked his assistant to take Qu Baiyuan and Lin Sheng to the hotel to rest first, and the meeting was arranged after lunch.

The conditions of the hotel in the pharmaceutical base are not very good. Compared with the place where Qu Boyuan usually lives on business trips, it can be said to be very simple.When Assistant Liu led them upstairs, Mr. Qu made no secret of his dislike, but the room he arranged for him was next to Lin Sheng, which made his face look a little better.

Lin Sheng went into the room to put down the luggage, only to find that there were several missed calls on the phone, all from Xu Wen.

He became angry immediately, what on earth is this guy going to do?I sent a question mark, and the phone call came back immediately.

"what's up?"

"Coach Lin! Can you teach me today?"

You keep on pretending!

Lin Sheng said patiently, "I'm on a business trip."

"Business trip? Where are you traveling?"

This urgent question made Lin Sheng vigilant immediately - the other party probably knew that Qu Baiyuan was with him, and they came to investigate the enemy's situation?

Keeping your voice down, you don't want to continue playing this boring game with him, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Wen said in an innocent voice, "I just want you to teach me how to fight."

Lin Sheng paused and said, "What is your real purpose when I ask you?"

"Really...the real purpose," Xu Wen didn't expect him to be punctured so quickly, and murmured, "...just want to make friends with Coach Lin."

"It's not necessary." Lin Sheng stopped being polite to him, "Listen, I don't know what's going on with you and Qu Boyuan, but I've been with him for many years. I only came out with him this time because of work. If you are worried, please take care of your own fiance instead of harassing me."

"Ah?" Xu Wen was shocked, "Qu Baiyuan?"

Hearing Lin Sheng's bad tone, he thought that his sensuality had been seen through, and he was still sad, but the following sentence was too informative, and he was stunned for a few seconds before digesting it all.

It means that Lin Sheng and Qu Baiyuan had a relationship?And now he thought he was his rival in love?

Although the direction of things is not the same as imagined, it seems to be more fun.

Xu Wen couldn't help laughing on the phone.

Lin Sheng put the phone away a little bit, heard the laughter over there for a long time before stopping, and then said on the other end of the phone: "Coach Lin, you are so cute, does your ex-boyfriend know?"

Without waiting for him to answer, he hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Song Ke knocked on Qu Baiyuan's door and reported to him that his "fiancée" was coming to visit.

"What is he doing here?" Qu Boyuan was a little unhappy.

Song Ke also looked helpless: "It's Xu Xin. He asked me about your itinerary today. I didn't think too much about it, so I told him the truth. I really didn't know that he would tell Xu Er, let alone why Xu Er insisted Come over."

Qu Boyuan was a little annoyed, "Forget it, after Xu Wen comes over, you stay with him, don't let him wander around, especially don't let him go looking for Lin Sheng."

"Ok."

Song Ke knew that Mr. Qu's trip this time was largely for that Professor Lin, because he didn't need to come in person for this kind of inspection.For this reason, they also rejected several important arrangements, but Xu Wen insisted on participating.

Although I am looking forward to the next Shura field, I still don't want the boss to be in a bad mood, because the boss's bad mood means that as a secretary, he will not be in a good mood.

Qu Baiyuan agreed to release the news of the engagement that day, entirely because Lin Sheng was so angry at the wedding that he actually said that he would return the ring to him.He called Xu Xin as soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, and Xu Xin acted quickly. Two or three hours later, this matter was on the news, and it was too late to regret it.

Lin Sheng seemed unhappy.Qu Boyuan thought, as long as you ask me, I will tell you the truth, as long as you still want me, I will always be yours.

But Lin Sheng didn't ask anything.

After the meeting in the afternoon, Wang Jinghui personally showed them around the factory building. The technician accompanying them at the pharmaceutical base was Tao Beisong, Lin Sheng's fellow student at the Medical University.Lin Sheng was talking to Tao Beisong all the way, and occasionally met Qu Boyuan's eyes, and turned away from him first.

Both of them are absent-minded, and both of them have their own thoughts.

Wang Jinghui was very puzzled. He didn't know what place in this pharmaceutical base was worthy of investors' investigation for three full days.The factory area can be walked in two hours, and it takes at most another hour or two to visit the medicinal plantation.

Song Ke told him that they were coming for an in-depth investigation, and he was so anxious that his head was going bald.Because some places are inconvenient and cannot be shown to them.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Secretary Song to receive a call, saying that their fiancée Qu was here, so the group walked back.

Xu Wen obtained the address from his brother, and secretly took his brother's car keys, and arrived by himself following the navigation on his mobile phone.

This melon is so delicious, why not eat it on the spot?

Qu Boyuan was dull and boring, just like his brother and father, he knew about business and business all day long, and he didn't know what Lin Sheng liked about him.If Lin Sheng also finds that Qu Boyuan is boring, it would be even better to have a rival in love with him.

Standing at the entrance of the hotel, he saw Lin Sheng and Qu Baiyuan approaching from a distance, and happily ran over to hold Lin Sheng's hand, moving as fast as a border collie catching a Frisbee.

Lin Sheng was caught off guard by his arm. He really wanted to curse, but he couldn't do it in front of so many people. He suppressed his voice and gritted his teeth: "Did I not speak clearly enough? Don't touch me."

Xu Wen was about to faint from laughter, and hugged him affectionately, "How about I sleep with you tonight?"

"Not good!" Lin Sheng refused without thinking.

Seeing the two of them hooking their shoulders together, Qu Baiyuan frowned and said, "Xu Er, come here!"

Xu Wen held back his stomachache from laughing, let go of Lin Sheng's hand, and walked over slowly.Qu Boyuan took him by the neck and pushed him to the front desk of the hotel, "Get a room for yourself."

In Lin Sheng's eyes, this scene was the young couple flirting and cursing, which was very embarrassing.I went upstairs without wanting to take another look.Going back to the room to light a cigarette, I suddenly remembered that the lighter was still at Qu Baiyuan's place, so my heart was even more blocked.

It was the first time he had seen Qu Boyuan look so distraught after coming back for so long, as if he was afraid that he would get close to Xu Wen.

Why am I, Lin Sheng, such a worthless person in your heart?You underestimate me too much. If I want to attack, I will also attack you. What's the point of playing tricks on a child?Do you think everyone is as childish as your fiancée?

It's a pity that he is just a giant in thought, in reality he was so cowardly that he didn't even go down for dinner.

I don't want to see the picture of Qu Boyuan and Xu Wen together, every frame is like stabbing a knife in his chest.Qu Boyuan is too cruel, how can he be with others while pretending to like him?

In the evening, when Tao Beisong called him and asked him out for supper, he was very hungry.The main reason is that I also have an addiction to cigarettes, and I don't have a lighter.

He held the mobile phone and pushed the door out, and said to the phone while walking: "Okay, I'll go downstairs right away and wait for you at the hotel entrance...don't drive, drink with me."

When he opened the door, he saw Qu Boyuan standing outside the room with a paper bag in his hand.

The two met each other, Qu Boyuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and heard him on the phone again.So she shut her mouth and watched him walk into the elevator and disappear from sight.

The valley where the pharmaceutical base is located is close to a folk tourist area, and there are many lively taverns in the nearby town. Every time Lin Sheng is on a business trip, he always goes there for a drink or two with his senior brother.

Dr. Tao's career was not going well, and Dr. Lin's relationship was not going well. The two depressed adults drank until after eleven o'clock in the evening.At this point, I couldn't get a taxi back from the town, and walked for half an hour before returning to the factory.

It was late at night, the surroundings were quiet, and there was a faint, special fragrance of magnolia flowers in the air.

Tao Beisong sent Lin Sheng to the intersection and went back to the staff dormitory by himself.Under the dim street lights, Lin Sheng walked to the hotel alone along the path full of magnolia flowers on both sides.

When he was approaching the hotel entrance, he heard Xu Wen's voice.When I got closer, I saw the guy sitting on a petal-covered bench under a street lamp and talking on the phone.

Xu Wen had a strong nasal voice when he spoke, "I didn't, I just think... I think you don't care about me at all."

Lin Sheng paused, did he quarrel with Qu Baiyuan?

……Because of me?

Then he heard Xu Wen continue to cry, "I don't think you love me at all, you love your paintings more than me."

painting?

Lin Sheng remembered that he had seen it before. Someone said that Xu Wen's ex-boyfriend was a painter, so is he still entangled with his ex?

It was obviously none of his business, but Lin Sheng suddenly felt extremely angry, and wanted to kick him hard - you are already engaged to Qu Baiyuan, how dare you have someone else?

He walked over in two steps, reached out and pulled Xu Wen's phone, hung up the phone under the surprised expression of the other party, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xu Wen was still a little dazed, he stared and realized that it was Lin Sheng, and then lowered his head again.

Lin Sheng didn't show sympathy for his sad look, and threw the phone at him, "Xu Wen, if you don't like Qu Boyuan, please let him go."

Xu Wen still lowered his head and did not speak.

The night wind was a bit cool, and it made Lin Sheng dizzy. The alcohol seemed to be on the rise now, and he couldn't hold back his anger and said, "A person I like so much, you treat him like this?"

After hearing this, Xu Wen raised his face to look at him, smiled with tears in his eyes, tried to make a mischievous expression but failed, curled his lips and said, "I knew you liked Qu Boyuan."

He took Lin Sheng's arm and dragged him to the chair to sit down, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I and Qu Boyuan are fake, you fool."

"What?" Lin Sheng was stunned this time.

Xu Wen tilted his head and wiped his tears on his clothes, "Didn't he tell you? I was engaged to him for a fake engagement. Because my brother is an idiot, he invested in a project with very bad prospects, which would affect other partnerships. So I Dad and my brother went to Qu Boyuan for help, using news of the fake engagement to stabilize public opinion."

"Fake engagement..."

"Don't tell others. If my brother and my dad find out, they will definitely scold me. They say that we can't talk about it now. I don't understand it either. I'm just a tool anyway."

He put his chin on Lin Sheng's shoulder coquettishly, Lin Sheng sat stiffly and did not move, "Then why did you approach me?"

Xu Wen was still sobbing, but he couldn't help laughing, "I wanted to chase you, but when I saw the way you looked at Qu Baiyuan today, I knew I was out of luck."

Lin Sheng almost shattered his three views, put two fingers on his forehead and pushed him away, "You? Chasing me?"

"Oh," Xu Wen waved his hand, "don't care, don't care, I don't want to chase you anymore. I'm not interested in people who have others in their hearts."

Lin Sheng didn't want to remind him that both of them were Omega's business, so he pointed to his vibrating cell phone with his chin, "The call is coming."

Xu Wen looked down, pressed the red button to hang up, "I don't want to answer."

"Is that the painter?"

"How do you know?" Xu Wen squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Oh~ I know, you regard me as a rival in love, and you still search for my name on the Internet, don't you?"

"I didn't search for your name, but I did see your news online."

"Hey," Xu Wen said distressedly: "The person I want to date treats me as a rival in love, and the person I like doesn't match my pheromones. It's too difficult for me."

The person he wanted to date sat next to him and his hairs stood on end, emphatically saying, "I'm Zhi O."

"I'm also straight O, but the A I like matches with my pheromone less than 20.00%." ​​He leaned over and leaned on Lin Sheng's shoulder again, "You know what? The information between O and O The element matching degree is more than 60.00%, and he and I are less than 20.00%."

Lin Sheng didn't push him away this time, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one from it, and asked him: "Do you want it?"

Xu Wen shook his head, Lin Sheng lowered his head, put the cigarette in his mouth, pressed the lighter, and took a deep breath.

The smoke was turned grayish yellow by the street lamps, and Lin Sheng said in the grayish yellow fog, "Qu Baiyuan and I separated for ten years because of the high degree of pheromone matching."

"Ok?"

"Pheromone addiction, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard it. I remember a movie star who had this disease and committed suicide later?"

"Yes," Lin Sheng said, "I also have this disease."

People who drank alcohol were very eager to talk, so he told Xu Wen about the ten years between him and Qu Baiyuan.He never told anyone about his past with Qu Boyuan.

"The disease is cured now, but there is a sequelae, guess what it is?"

"What is it?"

"I," Lin Sheng pointed to himself, "as an Omega, I am tasteless to any A now, with zero matching."

Xu Wen sat up straight, "Then you..."

"I think this is very good. I enjoy the feeling of not being disturbed by pheromones, which allows me to recognize my heart."

"But what if the A you like is attracted by the highly matched O?"

"He won't." Lin Sheng said without hesitation.

With a cigarette in his left hand, he exhaled slowly, and continued: "If you only choose your lover based on the matching degree of pheromone, then it is not true love. It is a beastly instinct, and it is not worth cherishing."

The ring glistened under the street lamp, like a star falling on his hand.He turned to look at Xu Wen: "In that case, I want to chase your fiance, do you have any objection?"
