A. Bai Yueguang Said Nothing And Just Cried For The Substitute B. Chapter 18
byChapter 18 This Time, I Don’t Need Cookies
Wēn Sòng, returning from work, saw this message and was instantly unsure how to reply.
Of course, he was worried about Zhào Míngzhuó finding out.
Wouldn’t it be explosive news if it suddenly came out that the two of them were friends?
Besides, why was he the “poor little thing”?
Did he look pitiful?
These three words, no matter how you looked at them, didn’t suit him, giving off a feeling of cuteness and softness. Could Guān Suī be treating him like an Omega?
He never imagined that such a Wildness and tough Alpha would go for this approach.
Wēn Sòng suddenly recalled what Zhào Míngzhuó had said the day he had a fever.
—’If only you were an Omega.’
What if he were an Omega?
The blood flowing in his veins would still label him an Illegitimate Child.
He couldn’t choose or control his birth, but given the current situation, he should be glad he was a Beta.
If he were an Omega, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being sent into a marriage alliance, forced to marry for commercial gain. The Alpha could seek pleasure outside, while the Omega could only cling to a lifelong bond and endure the heat cycles.
Unfavored Omegas in wealthy families were always the most tragic.
So Wēn Sòng was very fortunate to be a Beta, without a Gland, unrestrained, and unhindered by the so-called lifelong bond. An Alpha’s mark would never last long on the back of his neck.
Finally, Wēn Sòng replied to Guān Suī’s WeChat.
[Sòng]: I was busy just now.
[Sòng]: I don’t like liking posts.
This was true.
He hadn’t even liked Zhào Míngzhuó’s post.
Even if the other party had @ him underneath, Wēn Sòng would only glance at it and exit, never manually hitting the like button.
Guān Suī was probably busy, as there was no immediate reply.
Wēn Sòng, however, curiously clicked on the other party’s Moments and found that there was only one post.
It was the one sharing the cookies.
When he saw Zhào Míngzhuó’s comment below.
Wēn Sòng: “”
His expression remained unchanged, but a feeling of guilt lingered around him.
It was truly impossible to navigate between two Alphas.
He had to choose one between Zhào Míngzhuó and Guān Suī, no matter what.
In other words, Wēn Sòng felt that he and Guān Suī had no room for reconciliation or turning back; they couldn’t return to being strangers.
But with Zhào Míngzhuó—
If the other party were to get married, their relationship would have to end sooner or later.
Ms. Sòng Lánxuě’s test results came back, still negative. Her condition had not worsened, though some other indicators were high. The hospital still planned to wait for the values to drop and stabilize before performing surgery.
But exactly when that would be was uncertain.
Perhaps the condition might worsen during the waiting process.
It mainly depended on her individual constitution.
The doctor suggested administering the newly released injection, stating that the effect would be better, faster, and without side effects.
Wēn Sòng was originally considering using the remaining million yuan he had to get a few shots and observe the effect.
Unexpectedly, when he went to the hospital to find the doctor, the doctor said:
“Ms. Sòng Lánxuě has already been transferred to another hospital by your boyfriend. She should currently be in the best hospital in Suicheng.”
“The specialist I mentioned last time is at that hospital. It’s usually very difficult for ordinary people to get an appointment.”
Wēn Sòng was bewildered: “Boyfriend?”
When did Zhào Míngzhuó start managing his grandmother’s affairs?
The other party deposited money into the hospital every month but rarely took the initiative to inquire about his grandmother’s condition.
“Yes,” the doctor recalled, “It was an Alpha, surnamed Guān.”
Wēn Sòng: “?”
The thought of Guān Suī calling himself his boyfriend filled his chest with a strange emotion, an indescribable sense of oddity.
“Okay, thank you.” He thanked the doctor.
The doctor waved his hand, saying it was no trouble, and wished his grandmother a speedy recovery.
Wēn Sòng left, took out his phone, pondered for a moment, and finally sent Guān Suī a WeChat voice call.
The ringing lasted for a few seconds before the call connected.
“Hmm?” Guān Suī sounded curious as to why he was calling, letting out a questioning syllable.
“Is there something going on that you’re calling me at this hour?”
Wēn Sòng spoke as he walked, “Why did you move my grandmother to another hospital without my permission?”
It wasn’t a question, nor an outburst of anger, just a simple inquiry.
And… calling himself his boyfriend.
He once again had a direct realization of Guān Suī’s shamelessness.
“Last time, I thought you meant yes,” Guān Suī said. “You can take your time to consider it; this is just me expressing my sincerity.”
“The specialist said your grandmother’s current condition is quite good, and he is confident he can perform the surgery within two months. At other hospitals, she would have to wait at least half a year, requiring medication and chemotherapy, which is too much of a strain.”
“The elderly can’t handle it.”
Wēn Sòng knew Guān Suī was right.
A long time had passed since the treatment began, and the surgery had been postponed again and again. Continuing like this would be unbearable.
“Thank you.” After a long pause, he said with extreme sincerity.
The other side let out a muffled chuckle, his tone laced with confusion and an undisguised sense of ease.
“Just a thank you?”
Wēn Sòng gripped his phone tightly, lowering his eyelids. “Should I make you some more cookies?”
Guān Suī pretended to think for a moment, then said, “This time, I don’t need cookies.”
Wēn Sòng was suddenly indecisive. “Then what do you want?”
The other side seemed to chuckle softly, teasing his ears.
Wēn Sòng subconsciously reached up and touched his earlobe.
Guān Suī’s tone lifted: “You figure it out yourself.”
Wēn Sòng: “”
He couldn’t think of anything.
In other words, even if he did think of something, it would take some time for him to accept it.
“I’ll think about it carefully,” Wēn Sòng said.
Guān Suī’s clear, cool voice held a hint of a smile, and he said meaningfully, “Then you must think about it very carefully.”
Wēn Sòng replied with a very soft “Mm.”
“I’m hanging up now.”
“I want to go see my grandmother. Could you please send me the address?”
Guān Suī replied with an “Okay.”
After hanging up, Wēn Sòng held the phone in his palm. Once he received the address, he finally started walking toward the elevator.
