Perfect match.

Surgical brochures and forms were scattered all over the floor.

After several seconds of silence, Lawyer Xia, who was sitting as firmly as an iceberg, finally moved.

He stood up, bent down, picked up the papers one by one, folded them in order, tidied them on the edge of the bed, put them back in front of He An, and said patiently: "Mr. He, you don't have to be too shocked. PGRT is a minimally invasive surgery with very limited damage to the body. I suggest that you read the information first to understand the operation. If you have any questions, we can also consult a doctor. When you understand everything, I believe you will be happy. Signed informed consent."

But He An ignored it.

"Take it back, I won't sign it."

He sat with his head bowed, his bangs hanging in front of his eyes, blocking his usually docile eyebrows.

Lawyer Xia was paid to work. Seeing that He An refused to take the initiative to read the brochure, he took out a tablet computer from the briefcase, called up the pre-stored operation introduction video, folded the bracket, and placed it neatly beside the bed. Then hit the play button.

The video screen began to flow, and the narration was an intellectual English female voice, with Chinese subtitles at the bottom.

PGRT, full name PheromonGlandReplacementTherapy, translated as cervical gonad lifelong replacement therapy, also known as replacement surgery.This is a minimally invasive surgery pioneered by State Z, funded by the international human rights organization "Pheromones Are Not God", and aims to help Alpha and Omega who are eager to get rid of the control of native pheromones.

Of course, mainly Omega.

Doctors will cut the skin on the nape of the neck and implant a miniature artificial gonad.In a short period of time, this artificial gonad will release a large amount of replacement pheromones, quickly replacing the original pheromones in a human body fluid.When the artificial pheromone reaches a sufficient concentration, the brain will receive a wrong signal, thinking that the pheromone has been secreted enough, and then inhibit the native gonad so that it no longer secretes new pheromone.

As long as the artificial pheromone is maintained at a balanced value, the native gonads will remain asleep.

Machines that are not used for a long time will rust and dull, and organs that are not working for a long time will also shrink. For the primary gonads, this period is generally two to three years.At that time, the native gonads will be inactivated and shed, and the patient will completely change the type of pheromones, and will rely on the artificial gonads to survive.

Although this operation claims to be minimally invasive, it fundamentally subverts the endocrine system of the human body. It is expensive and risky.The first successful case was only two years ago, and no one knows if there are no long-term sequelae, and if so, whether it is serious or not.

The video ended, the screen fell into darkness, and a circular arrow slowly rotated in the center.Through this pure black mirror, He An saw his face as pale as snow.

A heart is completely cold.

For this operation, he had too many questions: Is the replacement pheromone safe enough?Will there be a rejection reaction?How to deal with the exfoliated native gonads?What would happen to the rest of his life if the artificial gonads failed?

It is such a high-risk operation that even the sequelae are not yet clear. In order to get rid of the pheromone bondage, Zheng Feiluan rushed to push him onto the operating table.

He An closed the tablet, handed it to Lawyer Xia, and emphasized again: "I will not sign."

Lawyer Xia was not angry. He took out a blue pheromone matching chart from the folder and put it in He An's hands.

"I understand your resistance to the operation. After all, in your opinion, changing the pheromone is Mr. Zheng's own selfishness. For him, as long as you replace the gonads, the fit is reduced, and the sexual attraction is gone, he can get rid of the trouble of mate-seeking disorder. For you, your native pheromones are too rare, and emotional isolation has always been serious , if it is replaced by common pheromones such as Omega3 type..."

His finger swipe across a row of matching values ​​continuously higher than 60% in the chart: "I believe you will soon meet the Alpha you like and have true love."

He An remained unwavering: "Sorry, I don't need it."

Lawyer Xia didn't expect to be rejected three times in a row by an omega, and finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and a bored crack appeared on Bing Cube's face.

Seeing that He An was very concerned about his daughter, he immediately took it to heart, and said seriously: "Mr. He An, I think I have an obligation to remind you that, as your Alpha, Mr. Zheng Feiluan has the right to apply to the court for custody of the children."

He Anmo sat up straight with his upper body, ignoring the pain from the incision, stretched out his arms, and grabbed the railing of the crib tightly.

"What's the meaning?!"

Lawyer Xia smiled: "It means that Mr. Zheng doesn't mind having a lovely daughter now."

He An was so angry that his eyes were red: "I gave birth to the child, you are still shameless?!"

He suddenly remembered something, hurriedly pulled the crib to his side, and blocked it firmly like a hen guarding its cubs, for fear that Lily of the Valley would be pushed away if he was careless like before.

Lawyer Xia was calm and composed: "I don't understand what you said. Mr. Zheng is willing to raise Mr. Zheng's daughter and has the financial resources to support it. The court can't find a reason to object. Why is he shameless?"

He An guarded Ling Lan, and stared at Lawyer Xia hatefully, with the fury of swearing to death in his eyes.But after the anger burned once, and the reason returned, he was surrounded by panic and fear.

What can he use to compete with Zheng Feiluan?

He didn't even have a chip.

If the relationship between him and Zheng Feiluan is a gamble, then Zheng Feiluan is the one who sits on the bank, deals the cards, sets the rules, decides whether to win or lose, and even decides whether to continue the game....He is just a player with no chips, kidnapped to the gaming table, unable to help himself, but has to bear all the debts.

He has fallen to this level, and he can't even lose his only lily of the valley.He wanted to see and guard this chubby little face for the rest of his life, so how could he be willing to hand it over to others.

"Give me the pen and I'll sign it."

He An was defeated, and squeezed each word hoarsely between his teeth.

An informed consent form for surgery was handed to him, along with a signature pen with the cap removed.

Lawyer Xia said, "Please."

Like a shadow puppeteer at his mercy, He An followed the instructions and signed a thick stack of documents, including the informed consent form for surgery, and also the new agreement drafted by Zheng Feiluan—he knew that all the terms were against him. , but he didn't read a word.

Lawyer Xia checked them one by one and made sure there was nothing missing, so he put them in the folders in order and put them in the briefcase.

Having achieved his goal, he got up with his briefcase and put on his original respectful and polite mask again: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zheng has reserved an expert team from country Z for you, and will definitely guarantee your safety."

He An sat quietly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lawyer Xia didn't say anything more, nodded to He An, opened the door and left.

On January 25th, Lily of the Valley was full moon, and He An was scheduled to undergo surgery on the same day.

The city is still closed to heavy snow that day, but the sun is shining brightly and the temperature has picked up slightly.In the inpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Yuanda University in the city center, He An hugged lily of the valley and basked in the sun for a while in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the past 30 days, the lily of the valley has grown a lot, from a crumpled little bun to a white and tender little bun, wearing a small cotton hat with rabbit ears and a goose yellow baby jumpsuit, all of them are beautiful. A full moon gift from the little round-faced Omega couple.She had just finished drinking the milk, smacking her small lips with intent, staring straight at He An, innocent and delicate, giggling uncontrollably.

He An also smiled at her tenderly.

Within a few minutes, Ling Lan fell asleep peacefully, He An handed her over to Cheng Xiu, and said, "Take good care of her for me."

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Xiu didn't like the words at all, "It's not a major operation of cutting the head and amputating the legs, it came out in the blink of an eye. Maybe Lily of the Lily still hasn't woken up after the operation."

"Well, it came out in the blink of an eye." He An plucked the rabbit ears on Lily of the Valley's head, and said to her in a warm voice, "Then... Dad is leaving first, you sleep well and be good."

At ten o'clock in the morning, a red light was lit outside the operating room of the pheromone specialist.

A small piece of He An's hair was shaved off, exposing the smooth nape of his neck.The skin there is fair, without spots or moles, like a piece of flawless jade porcelain.Anesthetics flowed into the blood vessels drop by drop, the sharp scalpel cut open the flesh, blood overflowed, and the faint lily of the valley fragrance diffused into the air, which smelled surprisingly good.

No one understands why such a beautiful taste becomes the "original sin".

Because of the anesthetic, the pain was not as strong as expected, as if someone had drawn a line on the back of the neck with a ballpoint pen.A little blood trickled down the side of the neck and gathered at the tip of the chin, and the nurse wiped it away with a clean sterile gauze.

He An closed his eyes, his mind became heavier and heavier, his consciousness gradually faded away, and his body floated lightly into the air.

Swish, Swish.

There was a faint sound of rain in my ears, and the rain was getting heavier, pouring and pouring all over the sky.He squeezed out of the bus with a bouquet of moist lily of the valley flowers in his arms, passing countless passers-by with clothes and leaflets on their heads.

On that day, there were no customers in the pet store. In order to earn a few more dollars, he came to deliver flowers to the "Xianghuafang" next door, to a young lady who lived in a VIP room in Jiusheng.

On the marble steps outside the hotel, there stood a tall male Alpha—a black formal suit, wearing an extended cashmere coat, holding a wooden long-handled umbrella with the tip pointing to the ground.The man with sword eyebrows and deep eyes, without squinting, looked indifferently at the sculpture in the center of the square, his body was as straight as a sword.

It's him.

He An looked up at him from a distance, and his field of vision became a high-definition lens slowed down by [-] times.

He never knew that he could see a person so clearly.

The strong wind blew the rain lines obliquely, and countless tiny crystal drops of water flew towards the man and landed on the expensive native cashmere of the coat.He An heard his own heart singing, and urged him to also turn into a grain of water, a grain of dust, fly over with joy, cling to this Alpha, hide in the warm cashmere, breathe his scent with his lungs, and follow him. go home.

A sudden ray of light shone into He An's 20-year-long night, making him happy and humble, willing to offer his love and soul, and sacrifice himself.

More than 40 days later, this Alpha broke into He An's house rashly and forcefully inserted his penis into his body.

He leaned under the man, picking up a few sporadic pleasures from the tearing pain, and stubbornly believed that there was more or less love in Alpha's tyrannical sexual desire.Every time when the man releases his lust, he hugs him with sweaty arms, gazes at him with affectionate eyes, and kisses the bright red mole on his chest, He An is always reluctant to leave any more blame.

You are sick, you are not awake, you need comfort like a young child, how can I have the heart to criticize you?

He An would peck and kiss his forehead and say, it's all right.

Feiluan, it's fine.

Even if the warmth is extremely short-lived, and I don't even know each other when I'm awake, I don't hate you.

But Zheng Feiluan, why in the end, I have endured all the pain, and I have to bear the additional resentment from you?

why?

You hate me for depriving you of your sanity, kidnapping your love, and calculating your money, even though you know in your heart that I never really got anything from the first day we met, maybe... just Except lily of the valley.You will always stand on that high step and refuse to come down and have an equal dialogue with me.And because of love and tolerance, I lost my home, my studies and my job, my natural pheromones, and my begging heart.

This is not love, I don't want to sink any further.

The moment the blade cut through the back of the neck, the cold touch was like a powerful hand, pulling He An out of the pheromone quagmire.

Zheng Feiluan, thank you for giving me this gift, thank you for holding the whip, and driving me away from the wrong path in time when I was still unwilling to cut everything off.

The operation lasted for four hours, during which Cheng Xiu held Lily of the Valley and waited in the family area.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, He An was pushed out of the operating room.

His mental state looked good. The wound on the back of his neck was only two centimeters, and the stitches were meticulous. At first glance, it looked like it was drawn with a red pen. If he covered it with his hair, he couldn't find any signs of surgery.After the anesthetic wore off, He An drank a bowl of porridge, ate half a fresh orange, and played around with Lily of the Valley for a while.Lily of the valley was like a kitten, sniffing from left to right, sniffing from the right, trying to breathe in the little bit of lily-of-the-valley fragrance left on He An's body, and frowned suspiciously.

But in the middle of the night, He An suddenly rang the calling bell.

He began to vomit, his body was severely chilled, and he was shivering constantly wrapped in the bedding. The air conditioner was turned on at thirty degrees and it didn't work. The chill seemed to seep directly from the blood and bone marrow.At six o'clock in the morning, he began to feel headaches, fear of light and sound, and even a ray of sunlight penetrating through the crack of the window and a bird's cry could make him cry.Cheng Xiu had no choice but to close the curtains to keep the ward absolutely dark and quiet.

For several days in a row, he couldn't eat a single grain of rice, and couldn't drink a sip of water. Bottle after bottle of nutrient solution was dripped in through his veins, barely maintaining his body's functioning.He couldn't even turn over, because even the tiniest movement would trigger a severe headache.

The most painful thing about gonad replacement surgery is not the operation process, but the long postoperative period of pheromone disturbance.

The strange Omega3-type pheromone occupied every drop of blood, strangling the original lily of the valley breath, with a fierce momentum, and all organs showed strong resistance.He An's body was like a fallen city, full of killings and wars, his body temperature reached [-] degrees uncontrollably, and he lost his sense of taste and smell for a while.For a few days, he even felt that he was cut off from the whole world. His soul was curled up inside his scorching body, caught in an endless struggle. The familiar self in the past was eaten away inch by inch and recast inch by inch.

After a week, the alternative pheromones stabilized and the situation improved slightly.

He lost a lot of weight and looked tired. He told Cheng Xiu that he wanted to see Ling Lan, and Cheng Xiu brought the child to him.But when Ling Lan saw him, she burst into tears and refused to be hugged by him.

The young child didn't recognize his father's facial features, and he knew people only by smell. He An replaced him with a new pheromone, and Ling Lan naturally regarded him as a stranger.The more He An coaxed her, the more anxious she was crying, and wanted to feed her as before, but Lily of the Valley pressed her lips tightly together, she didn't care about touching her, she would rather hold a cold empty bottle and suck dry.

A few days ago when the pheromones were the most disordered, He An was in great pain, but he still managed not to shed a tear. At this time, facing the recognizable Linglan, his eyes turned red with anxiety.

The chief surgeon heard about the situation and gave him a crimson glass perfume bottle.

That is the extract of native pheromone.

Before the operation, the chief surgeon read He An’s information and found that he had just given birth. He guessed that changing the pheromone might affect the parent-child relationship, so he extracted one milliliter of high-concentration pheromone from the primary gonad and diluted it with normal saline for preparation. A rainy day.Relying on such a small bottle of diluent, less than 30ml, He An sprayed a little on his body every day to complete the transition with difficulty and let Lily of the Valley get acquainted with his new taste.

On the day he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Cheng Xiu packed four suitcases to pick up He An—their next stop was not home, but Yuanjiang Airport.

According to the agreement, He An only had one chance to hide.If Zheng Feiluan found him, he had to move out of Yuanjiang.

He can no longer go back to the original home.

As for Cheng Xiu, he lost his job the day after Ling Lan was born and became a glorious vagrant.As the assistant who was personally fired by the boss Jiu Sheng, he knew that it would be difficult for him to survive in Yuanjiang, so he simply bought a plane ticket to Luotan Mountain in the south, and accompanied He An and Ling Lan to leave.

He An walked out of the hospital gate wearing a woolen overcoat and a furry scarf. Lily of the Valley was sleeping peacefully in his arms, her little face was flushed like a ripe peach.

Not long after the Spring Festival, the main color of the streets is still fiery red.Valentine's Day is approaching quietly, and delicate roses have begun to decorate the shop, and the rose flower baskets in full bloom are hung on wooden shelves.There were crowds of pedestrians underneath, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

He An looked at the endless stream of people with a slightly astonished expression.

Cheng Xiu asked him, "What's wrong?"

"I……"

He An hesitated to speak.

He seemed to... smell love.

Sweet, bitter, intense, gentle... All kinds of pheromone smells are wrapped in strong love and flowing around, just like being in a bakery shop. The aroma of freshly baked pastries is charming. Smell carefully, Can also distinguish the taste of caramel, cheese, milk and strawberry.

For the first time in more than 20 years, he felt a real exchange of pheromones.

Every passer-by's eyebrows are more vivid than before, and their expressions are more cheerful than before, just like a faded old painting re-dyed with colorful colors, showing its true appearance.

A handsome Alpha passed by and gave him a kind smile.He An became nervous, and returned a stiff smile.

He felt that his smile was ugly, but Alpha rolled his eyes and praised "You are so cute".

He An blushed instantly.

Before today, he never dared to imagine that such an interaction would happen to him—rare pheromones cut off emotional communication, and others could not perceive him, nor could he perceive others.He lives in an exhausted world, love is a young shoot wrapped in plastic wrap, never withered or rotted, but it can't wait for the chance to germinate.

That's why Zheng Feiluan became his light.

The 100% matching fate focused the light of the whole world on Zheng Feiluan. He was the only dazzling bright color in the black and white photos. He An couldn't take his eyes off him, let alone imagine the world without him what will become.

But now, that ray of light began to spread around, expelling the accumulated darkness.

In the light, countless beautiful emotions come to life.

It was only then that He An realized that Zheng Feiluan was not unique, but just one of the Alphas with a successful career and a slightly better appearance, all sentient beings, that's all.He doesn't even need to deliberately "let go" Zheng Feiluan, because this man who once held his heart and soul is gradually disappearing under the impact of the world.

Isn't that how life should be?

To be an ordinary Omega, not to climb high, not to be low, just like a little round face who runs a restaurant, and meet an equally ordinary Alpha in his own market circle, live together plainly and happily, and raise the little lily of the valley together big.

"It's nothing, I'm fine... I'm surprised and happy."

He An raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly at Cheng Xiu.

Cheng Xiu stopped a taxi, packed the suitcase in neatly, opened the rear door, and installed the child seat neatly.He An looked back at the towering hospital building, kissed Ling Lan's chubby cheek, bent down and sat in the car, and embarked on the journey to Luotan Mountain.
