Lin Yande seemed to have aged ten years overnight, with sunken eye sockets and gray temples. He walked slowly in front of Lin Zhiyi, with an iron railing between them.

"You're here." Lin Yande said.

"I didn't come to visit you, but I wanted to ask you something." Sitting on a stool, Lin Zhiyi asked indifferently: "Two years ago, when you found me at the entrance of the municipal hospital, why didn't you take this opportunity? Just let me die on the operating table?"

When Lin Yande grinned the corners of his mouth like dry and cracked bark, as if debris would fall off in the next second, there was no smile in his eyes, "I had this idea when you came out of the delivery room, but there is someone called Someone from Sheng Jiahui came to look for you, and he recognized me."

"So you can't do it."

"You were weak and reminded me of your mother in her hospital bed."

Lin Zhiyi didn't want to reminisce with Lin Yande, he interrupted Lin Yande: "When I was the weakest, you forced me to sign the equity transfer agreement, no wonder you think of my mother, are you guilty?"

Lin Yande still laughed, there is no air conditioner in the detention center, only the staff’s office area has heaters, Lin Yande is wearing very thin clothes, and his hands are shaking constantly, I heard that life in the detention center is difficult, Lin Zhiyi can’t give him Provided no shelter, Lin Yande has been haggard and haggard in just over half a month, and he does not have the glory of Chairman Lin of Dingsheng Group.

Lin Zhiyi looked away, "I remember everything before and after, but my memory was a bit broken during the hospital, I remember that the child was sent to the incubator when he was born, but I don't remember saying that Let the boy go—”

"When you were in junior high school, didn't your mother let me take you away every day?" Lin Yande interrupted him.

Lin Zhiyi was stunned.

"At that time, I wanted to drive that beta away, lie to you that the child was gone, and take the opportunity to let you sign the equity transfer agreement. I didn't expect that you, like your mother, would start to get sick when stimulated."

Lin Yande looked at Lin Zhiyi with a smirk, as if he had finally won a victory, "Do you know that your mother has schizophrenia?"

Lin Zhiyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he tried his best to remain calm.

"Do you really think that it was me who caused her to become mentally weak like that? She had this problem when she first got married. When she was good, she was very good. Like a child, when she was bad, she would turn her face and deny anyone. Who can bear it?"

"So what?" Lin Zhiyi felt his voice trembling.

"I just love you, Zhiyi. Now that you have a family and a career, don't be like your mother, who can't get sick after being stimulated." Lin Yande's tone was full of mockery and curses, so vicious that he had no humanity at all. He approached Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "At that time, Ding Sheng will be left alone."

"Lin Yande, you'd better die inside." Lin Zhiyi said calmly.

The gloom in Lin Yande's eyes instantly turned dull, and after a long time it turned into fragility. His sunken eye sockets glowed with water, moistening his face like dry bark. For a moment, Lin Zhiyi saw regret on Lin Yande's face. and pain, but when looking over, Lin Yande was staring at the red handprint on the wall in a daze, it seemed that the emotion just now was just an illusion of Lin Zhiyi.

When documents were delivered, the prisoners had nowhere to wipe their fingerprints, so they had to wipe them all on the white wall. Over time, half of the wall was covered with blood-red fingerprints, which looked especially terrifying in a room with dim backlight.

In the next ten years, Lin Yande will have to pay the price for the crimes he committed in such an environment.

When the time came, Lin Yande was taken away by the prison guards. Before leaving, he said to Lin Zhiyi: "I'm sorry, Zhiyi, I'm sorry."

Lin Zhiyi didn't answer, turned around and walked out of the room and out of the detention center. The sky outside was clear and cloudless.

The phone rang, and it was Zhou Huaisheng who called him, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Just came out of the detention center and haven't returned to the company yet."

"Oh, be careful on the road, and eat quickly when you get back. The lunch boxes are all for microwave ovens. You can just put them in and heat them up. The soup cups don't need to be heated. I tested it and the heat preservation effect is very good. The chopsticks and spoons are put in it."

On the back seat of the car was the lunch that Zhou Huaisheng had prepared for him, and it was placed in a thermal insulation bag with vertical stripes.

"Zhou Huaisheng." Lin Zhiyi suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"Lin Yande told me something I never knew. I'm a little confused now. I don't know how to tell you. I just want to ask you a question. Will you stay by my side forever?"

Zhou Huaisheng was a little confused, but he quickly replied, "Yes."

"You are so unlucky, Zhou Huaisheng, you are the most unlucky person in the whole world."

"why?"

"I was just willing to help others, but I didn't expect to pick up a big trouble, and I can't get rid of it for the rest of my life."

Zhou Huaisheng could hear the temptation and frustration in Lin Zhiyi's words. He knew that it was useless to comfort him at this time, so he adjusted the atmosphere and said, "Yes, a big trouble has also caused a small trouble."

Lin Zhiyi couldn't help laughing. As soon as he heard Zhou Huaisheng's voice, his troubles disappeared automatically. He sat in the driver's seat and said in a relaxed tone: "No matter how troublesome you are, you won't be able to throw it away. I can't go back on my word, you will always be by my side."

I will be very good to you, Lin Zhiyi made a promise in his heart.

It’s so good that even if one day my illness breaks out, and my schizophrenia and temperament change drastically like my mother, people can’t avoid it, you will still think of my kindness to you, and you can’t bear to leave me.

Lin Zhiyi knew that he was selfish, but he paraphrased Zhou Huaisheng's words: he was just proud of being favored.

Zhou Huaisheng didn't understand the cause and effect, but he still said with certainty: "Okay."

Back at Dingsheng, Lin Zhiyi contacted the person in charge of the R&D department of Taihe Biotech, who was younger than Lin Zhiyi imagined, an alpha under 30 years old, named Xie Yanting.

Xie Yanting has been very interested in the research field of pseudo-marking since he was in college. As the young owner of Taihe Biotechnology, he tried his best to introduce this technology into China two years ago, but the project stalled due to funding problems. This time Dingsheng took the initiative Extending an olive branch, to Xie Yanting, is tantamount to grabbing a hope of life from a desperate situation.

"False markers are very popular in foreign countries, and the technology is very mature. Lin Dong, in China, the number of alpha and beta marriages is about 2000 million, and the number of beta and omega is slightly less, about 1000 million. A small part, but not without business opportunities, false marking is a reversible technology that is more adaptable to the human body than natural marking..." Xie Yanting talked about the field he knew best, and immediately began to talk endlessly.

Lin Zhiyi took advantage of Xie Yanting's speech and asked, "I just want to know the side effects."

"In the first week, there will be reactions such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. In addition, changes in pheromones will affect changes in body hormones. There may be a sudden weight gain, but after that, you can lose weight with appropriate exercise."

Lin Zhiyi picked up a pen and wrote it down.

When he spoke again, Xie Yanting was a little hesitant, but he thought that the two parties were in a cooperative relationship, and it seemed that he was not honest enough to have some reservations. He thought for a while and said: "Besides, there is another worst situation. In the past few years, only two The marked people have such a situation, that is, the estrus is terminated early, resulting in the inability to conceive. From the research results, it is not certain that the pseudo-marking technology is the direct cause of their inability to conceive. "

Lin Zhiyi's pen stopped.

"In fact, from another point of view, it is also a kind of business opportunity. The children conceived by alpha and beta, or beta and omega must not be healthy enough, and even many children have congenital defects. If Dingsheng Group can cooperate with us this time Taihe Biotech cooperates and jointly funds to promote the promotion of pseudo-labeling technology, and I will have a more comprehensive plan in the future. Since last year, my technical department has been concentrating on developing a series of drugs for the treatment of children with congenital defects."

"Give me the plan as soon as possible."

"Okay, by the way, Mr. Lin, we have recruited volunteers in China, and we have reached the third period. All betas or omega who have received false markers are very satisfied. There are no accidents, and the estrus period has not been terminated. In this case, I will send you the interview and survey results, and you can take a look."

Lin Zhiyi opened the file on the computer, and while reading it, he asked Xie Yanting with some technical terms he couldn't understand.

"How long does the whole treatment take?"

"First of all, we need to stop using the inhibitor for three months, and then conduct a series of inspections. When the pheromone and hormone values ​​reach the standard, we can use the marker to perform the surgery. The process is very fast, about 10 minutes. The family needs to self-isolate for a week, and must ensure that they are in an environment free of pheromones, and have a follow-up visit in a month."

"How many years?" Lin Zhiyi asked again.

"Two kinds, two to three years or five to six years."

"How much is the frequency of estrus reduced?"

"It varies from person to person, generally between once every two months and once every four months."

Lin Zhiyi raised his concerns and quickly recorded Xie Yanting's answer.

Xie Yanting had always had a crush on Lin Zhiyi. Xie Yanting remembered the startling glance at the ball a few years ago, but Lin Zhiyi looked very cold, like a proud white peacock, and did not take anyone seriously , which made Xie Yanting somewhat discouraged.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was so serious, Xie Yanting couldn't help asking: "Director Lin, you don't need to understand the process so thoroughly, just send R&D personnel to connect with us, or should you start recruiting volunteers to try it out now? Our marker?"

"It's not a volunteer, it's me."

"what?"

"My partner is a beta."

Xie Yanting was so shocked that he was stuck for a long time, and even forgot about his throbbing about Lin Zhiyi, he asked in surprise, "You want to make a false mark?"

"Yes."

The estrus period is not the biggest problem, and it does not harm Lin Zhiyi. He has a powerful inhibitor specially developed for him, which can minimize the pain, but he does not like the great loss and emptiness in his heart after the inhibitor injection , I also don't like Zhou Huaisheng's expression of self-blame and powerlessness.

There are many obstacles between him and Zhou Huaisheng, and the low degree of physical fit is one of the most important ones.

Lin Zhiyi couldn't think of a better way, so he could only use false markings to reduce the frequency of estrus, cut off the possibility of being induced by alpha, and turn himself into a half beta.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Almost, I'll take another look at the information you sent, and if there's anything I don't understand, I'll come and ask you."

"You are polite, you should."

"I hope Mr. Xie can keep this matter a secret."

"It's natural."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyi carefully read the case sent by Xie Yanting from beginning to end, and found some volunteers on the Internet. In combination, Xie Yanting did not exaggerate.

The assistant came in to report work, and Lin Zhiyi put it aside and devoted himself to work. The news that Dingsheng wanted to open up a new pharmaceutical industry had already spread in the company. In the lead, Lin Zhiyi talked to them one by one, confiding in his heart, and promptly curbed a vicious competition in the workplace.

Lin Zhiyi was busy and orderly, and at the end of the year, Dingsheng was running very smoothly under his command.

After work, he drove home. Zhou Huaisheng arrived home one step later than him. Lin Zhiyi opened the door in no hurry and stood on the steps waiting. Zhou Huaisheng smiled at him. The setting sun was behind him. Watching Zhou Huaisheng park the battery car in the yard, took off the straps, holding the scroll in one hand and the vegetables in the other, he walked over quickly.

As soon as he approached, Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt relieved.

He planned not to tell Zhou Huaisheng about the false sex marks for the time being. He knew that Zhou Huaisheng would definitely not agree. Zhou Huaisheng was more worried about his body than Lin Zhiyi himself. It's not a big problem, but no one can guarantee that he won't be that unlucky one in ten thousand.

He is ready to cut first and then play.

Lin Zhiyi took the scroll and asked the little guy: "What did Juan learn in the early education class today?"

After hearing this, Juanjuan buried his face in Lin Zhiyi's shoulder and refused to answer. Zhou Huaisheng broke the stage and said, "After learning to dance, the teacher said that he dances like a duckling."

Juanjuan immediately felt aggrieved, and looked at Lin Zhiyi tearfully, "It's not a duckling."

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly coaxed: "Don't learn, don't learn, how can we look like ducklings? It's obviously a cute little bear."

Juanjuan snorted, turned his head and ignored Zhou Huaisheng.

Zhou Huaisheng suppressed a smile, picked up the fish and vegetables he had just bought at the vegetable market, carried them to the kitchen, washed his hands to make soup, Lin Zhiyi helped wash some fruits, and fed them to Juanjuan, but he suddenly remembered what Xie Yanting said "self Quarantine for a week", Zhou Huaisheng naturally has no pheromones on his body, but Juanjuan may not be beta, does it mean that he can't get close to Juanjuan for a week?

He quickly called Xie Yanting and asked him if making this mark would affect the child?

"No, and children over two years old will become less and less dependent on maternal pheromones." Xie Yanting replied.

After Zhou Huaisheng cleaned the fish, he suddenly remembered to ask Lin Zhiyi whether he likes braised fish or fish soup. When he turned around, he found that Lin Zhiyi was not in the living room, but there was a conversation coming from the storage room. Zhou Huaisheng felt strange and just left In the past, I heard Lin Zhiyi's voice coming from inside.

"Of course it's not alpha. If it's alpha, everything will be easy."

"I'm just afraid of affecting the child. I want to be with the child. The child is not in good health and cannot leave me."

"Mr. Xie, you really know the omega best among the alphas I've ever met. It's not easy to be able to think in this way."

"I know it's not the best option, but there's no better way."

……

Zhou Huaisheng was startled, then went back to the kitchen silently, after thinking about it, he decided to make braised fish.

Lin Zhiyi's phone call is not over yet, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to contact the child for a week. Okay, just don't contact the child for a long time. False marking is the best way at present. In fact, I can also do gland removal. Surgery, this is the most thorough, but the child still needs my pheromones, and the side effects of the removal operation are definitely much greater than the false markers, and my current physical condition does not allow me to undergo such a major operation."

Xie Yanting paused for two seconds, and suddenly asked seriously: "Although I am an advocate of false markings, I admit that as long as it is an operation, there will be risks. Director Lin, have you really thought about it?"

"Well, there is no way, I love him very much." Lin Zhiyi replied.

When Zhou Huaisheng gave up his home for more than 20 years and gave everything to take care of and protect Lin Zhiyi, no one asked him: Have you really thought about it?Is it worth it?

Love is always mutual.

He hung up the phone and went back to the living room. Juanjuan was watching TV. The smell of stir-fried green onion, ginger and millet wafted from the kitchen. Lin Zhiyi walked over, hugged Zhou Huaisheng's waist from behind, and boasted, "It smells so good."

But Zhou Huaisheng didn't protect Lin Zhiyi's hand with his hand like yesterday, he just curled the corners of his mouth and smiled forcedly.

Lin Zhiyi found it strange, but Zhou Huaisheng behaved as usual, and there seemed to be no flaws. This strange feeling lasted until the evening, which made Lin Zhiyi a little helpless. After coaxing Zhou Huaisheng to take a bath, Lin Zhiyi stopped him. "What’s wrong with you?"

"No." Zhou Huaisheng stretched out his hand to straighten the broken hair on Lin Zhiyi's forehead.

Lin Zhiyi frowned. He hugged Zhou Huaisheng's neck, pressed him down, and then raised his head and kissed him. Zhou Huaisheng wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

Lin Zhiyi was chatting with an alpha, and said, "If it's an alpha, everything will be easy."

Zhou Huaisheng felt that he should be angry.

Mingming morning urged him to make a promise, saying that he would always be by his side.

Zhou Huaisheng seldom took the initiative in kissing, but this time he kissed very deeply and hard, Lin Zhiyi began to struggle slightly, but he still didn't let go.

Lin Zhiyi seized the opportunity in a moment of panting, "You, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Huaisheng really wanted to continue kissing Lin Zhiyi's lips, wanting to vent his inner anxiety, but he held back, he shouldn't treat Lin Zhiyi so roughly.

But Lin Zhiyi kissed Zhou Huaisheng on the cheek, and asked him, "Ah Huai, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Huaisheng didn't speak, Lin Zhiyi kissed again, and asked patiently: "Tell me, okay? There should be no misunderstanding between us."
