    Chapter 25 Xiaocheng, boss, his pheromones are unstable and he just used inhibitors…

    Cheng Cheng always remembered that he would have dinner with Wei Zhi tonight, and he couldn’t help but smile when peeling an apple for Xu Zhiping.

    The smell of disinfectant in the ward was lighter than the previous two days, and the warm afternoon sun filtered through the blinds and cast tiny specks of light, falling on Xu Zhiping’s head wrapped in thick gauze.

    He had been awake for two days and had just been transferred from the ICU to the general ward. His hair was completely shaved and gauze was wrapped from his forehead to the back of his head, like a clumsy cotton hat.His hands and feet were hung by a traction frame, forming a stiff “big” shape. Only the plaster on his neck could barely move his head, and he could chat with people to relieve his boredom.

    Xu Zhiping also had a plaster on his neck. He could only look sideways at Cheng Cheng and joked: “Chengzi, your smile looks like you stole honey. There must be something wrong.”

    Cheng Cheng’s face turned red and his fruit knife almost slipped: “Where is it?”

    “What do I think?” Xu Zhiping clicked his tongue twice and leaned his head in the direction of Cheng Cheng, “Qianqian told me when she came yesterday that you had a lively chat with the Omega in the hotel before her. What was his name… Su Xiaohe, right? Tell me quickly, how far has it progressed?”

    Speaking of Su Xiaohe, Cheng Cheng was stunned. He didn’t know how she was doing, whether the operation went well or not. He had wanted to visit her before, but Xu Zhiping had an accident first, so he forgot about Su Xiaohe.

    “No.” Cheng Cheng put away his smile, peeled off a small piece of apple and stuffed it into Xu Zhiping’s mouth, “She is an omega, and we are not suitable.”

    “What is appropriate or inappropriate?” Xu Zhiping was chewing the apple and frowned dissatisfiedly, “My brother is so energetic, people chasing you can line up from the ward to downstairs. If she doesn’t like you, it means she has no vision. We are not too rare to join you!”

    “Yeah.” Cheng Cheng agreed dully.

    Su Xiaohe is indeed not suitable for him. It cannot be said that one is not worthy of the other, but the concepts are somewhat different.

    But… he and Wei Zhi seemed to be suspected of following him.

    Wei Zhi had been keeping him cold for so many days. This morning he casually said that we would have dinner together tonight, and he was extremely happy.

    Now Xu Zhiping saw that Cheng Cheng’s sweetheart might be someone else, and it had nothing to do with that omega.

    He said seriously: “Chengzi, if you have any troubles, just tell me. I’m older than you anyway and can give you some advice.”

    Cheng Cheng glanced at his right leg that was hanging high, and the light pink medicine stains could be faintly seen under the gauze: “You’d better take good care of it, don’t worry about this or that!”

    The more Cheng Cheng hid it, the more Xu Zhiping wanted to know, his curiosity was completely aroused, who could make this small iron tree bloom.

    “Chengzi, tell me, if you don’t say that I feel itchy, I won’t be able to sleep well at night!”

    Cheng Cheng said perfunctorily: “Just… an alpha.”

    “What!” Xu Zhiping’s voice suddenly rose to such a pitch that his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock, and his rich voice almost lifted the ceiling of the ward.

    The old man in the next bed who had been keeping his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him fiercely: “Why are you shouting? Don’t you know that the ward should be quiet? Didn’t you see anyone sleeping?”

    Just then the nurse walked in pushing the treatment cart. She frowned when she heard the movement, and the tray in her hand made a slight collision sound: “Bed 3, no noise allowed!”

    “I’m sorry, nurse sister!” Xu Zhiping smiled apologetically, then turned to the old man and apologized again and again, “I’m sorry, old man, I didn’t mean to do it, I couldn’t control it at the moment.”

    The old man rolled his eyes, turned his back to him, and muttered, “Young people are just impatient.”

    Xu Zhiping quickly winked at Cheng Cheng and directed him to close the blue curtain between the hospital beds.

    The curtain closed with a swish, cutting off the outside view. Xu Zhiping immediately came over, his eyes shining with gossip.

    “Chengzi, it’s different when you get to a big city. You are very fashionable now. You can imitate those people on TV and have sex. It’s not bad, it’s very advanced.”

    Cheng Cheng curled his lips: “I’m not in love yet. I haven’t even said a word about my horoscope. Maybe you really hit the mark, and I was the one who caught up with you. Zhiping, do you think alpha and beta are very unmatched?”

    “No way, as long as we like each other, there’s nothing we can’t do to be together. If your mother is still here, she might still stop her. She’s gone. What do you have to worry about?”

    Xu Zhiping paused for a moment and guessed: “You are chasing after someone now, and that alpha is hanging on to you?”

    “Uh…” Cheng Cheng racked his brains and thought for a while. Wei Zhi’s hot and cold attitude toward him flashed through his mind, “Don’t worry, it’s just a weird relationship anyway.”

    This kind of distance, neither far nor close, is more annoying than direct rejection.

    “Tsk, just go for it if you like it. Why do you have any hesitation? You only live this once. Do you have to wait until you are in the coffin to regret it?” Xu Zhiping’s voice carried the transparency of the rest of his life. “After experiencing this, I finally understand. In the past, I always thought about the house and the car. In fact, people are the most important thing. As long as two people are happy together, no matter what the life is, it is not a wasted life.”

    Cheng Cheng paused and chewed on Xu Zhiping’s words. Doesn’t it count that two people living happily together have passed this life?

    “Zhiping, so you have to propose to Sister Qianqian as soon as possible.” Cheng Cheng smiled.

    Xu Zhiping grinned and said, “Do I have to wait for your reminder? Just wait until I recover. I’ve been so busy these past two days that I’m already looking at ring styles.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded heavily: “If you are short of money, just tell me and I will lend it to you!”

    “Don’t worry, I don’t need your money. I still have savings after working hard all these years. I heard from Qianqian that the lawyer is very good now, and he will definitely get the compensation. When the time comes, I will pay back the borrowed money, and there will be nothing left!”

    Cheng Cheng looked at Xu Zhiping’s sweet smile and knew that Tian Qianqian did not tell Xu Zhiping that the lawyer was looking for trouble through him.

    Tian Qianqian hoped that Xu Zhiping would not feel indebted to him. She was willing to bear the debt to herself, but Cheng Cheng knew in his heart that Xu Zhiping was the most important brother in his life. Helping him was a matter of course, and there was no need to talk about any debt.

    “That’s great, I wish you a happy marriage in advance!” Cheng Cheng put away the apple peels on the table and said with a smile, “By the way, help me say thank you to Sister Qianqian for all the hard work she has done during this time.”

    “Thank her for what?” Xu Zhiping tilted his head in confusion.

    “Thank you for taking in my stupid brother, haha.” Cheng Cheng stood up with a smile and threw the garbage into the trash can.

    “Cheng Cheng! You’re looking for a beating, aren’t you!” Xu Zhiping was so angry that he wanted to sit up, but the wound was affected and he gasped in pain.

    Cheng Cheng quickly stepped forward to hold him down and covered his mouth: “Keep your voice down, if you call again the nurse will come again.”

    “I know, I know, let me go.” Xu Zhiping took his hand away and gasped, “Are you leaving now? I still want to talk to you for a while.”

    “I have something to do today, so I have to leave early.” Cheng Cheng helped him fill up the water bottle and stuffed the things into his backpack. “I told Sister Qianqian that she would get off work early and come over to accompany you. Take a rest and stop playing with your phone.”

    “Okay, your work is still important, so be careful on the road.” Xu Zhiping waved reluctantly, a little regretfully, watching Cheng Cheng’s back disappear at the door of the ward.

    People were coming and going in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was strong, mixed with noisy shouts and voices.

    Just as Cheng Cheng took out his cell phone to see if Wei Zhi had sent a message, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and his calloused hand trembled slightly.

    “Xiao Cheng! You are Xiao Cheng!” There was unconcealable excitement in the old voice.

    Cheng Cheng looked up and his eyes were rounded with shock when he saw the person clearly: “Uncle Xu! Why are you here?”

    He quickly supported Xu Bing, who was bent over and gasping for air, and took him to the waiting chair in the hall to sit down.

    Xu Bing was carrying a huge canvas bag, with several packages of dried fish exposed from the mouth of the bag, which Xu Zhiping had loved to eat since he was a child.

    Old Xu Bing burst into tears, and pointed at Cheng Cheng with slightly trembling hands covered with fine lines and rough texture: “Such a big thing has happened, can I not come? You two didn’t even tell me!”

    Cheng Cheng held Xu Bing’s arm tightly, fearing that he would not be able to support himself and fall down.

    Xu Bing fished and sold fish all day long, bent over and worked in the sea all his life. He suffered from sequelae on his waist, such as lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation. He had undergone an operation a few years ago. Xu Zhiping did not allow his father to go fishing in the sea anymore and paid his father regularly every month.

    “Uncle Xu, Zhiping is awake now, but the fractures on his body are not healed yet. Don’t get too excited, and be careful of slipping your waist,” Cheng Cheng comforted, “We didn’t tell you because we were afraid that you would come like this. Zhiping hasn’t fully recovered yet. What should he do if something happens to you again?”

    Xu Bing sighed, with tears in his eyes: “He is my son. If I don’t take care of him, who will take care of him? Fortunately, that lawyer came to the house to investigate the situation, so I found out about this! You guys are still filing a lawsuit without telling me! Why bother, let’s not be angry with others, just let Zhiping find another job later.”

    Cheng Cheng said helplessly: “The purpose of filing this lawsuit is to get back what Zhiping deserves. Don’t say this to him, otherwise he will be angry to death. You also know that he has never been a dumb person.”

    Xu Bing sighed heavily again, his eyes full of distress: “Oh, this child is exactly like his mother…”

    “Uncle, don’t be sad. Go up and see Zhiping. He will be very happy to know that you are here!” Cheng Cheng took his arm and stood up and walked forward, preventing Xu Bing from continuing to recall the past, because he was really running out of time.

    Xu Bing kept talking about the past while walking. Cheng Cheng was very anxious when he heard it, but he still couldn’t walk fast.

    There seems to be an iron rule when people get older, that is, they will look back more and more frequently, and sometimes they don’t realize that they are avoiding the future.

    For example, now, Xu Bing actually didn’t want to face the fact that Xu Zhiping was seriously injured.

    Cheng Cheng inevitably chatted with the father and son for a while. It was already past five o’clock when he left the hospital. He stood at the door of the hospital waiting for the Didi Express.

    He finally had time to click on the message and take a look. At this time, a call from He Rui came directly.

    “Hello, Secretary He?” Cheng Cheng answered the phone, and a noisy background sound immediately reached his ears. The siren of the ambulance and the noise of the crowd were mixed together, and He Rui’s voice was almost drowned out.

    “Xiao Cheng! Come to the city hospital quickly! The boss is in the susceptible stage! Something was wrong with him in the morning…”

    “Susceptible period?” Cheng Cheng’s heart suddenly sank, and blood instantly rushed to the top of his head.

    Before he had time to think about it, Didi arrived. He hurriedly jumped in the car: “Master, I will change the address and go to the city hospital. The sooner the better!”

    “Okay! Sit tight!” The driver responded cheerfully. As soon as the steering wheel was turned, the car immediately turned around and sped towards the city hospital.

    Cheng Cheng’s heart was beating like it was about to burst out of his chest, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

    He was very worried about what would happen to Wei Zhi. Every alpha should have a susceptible period, but why did Wei Zhi go to the hospital? Secretary He was so panicked…

    Cheng Cheng opened WeChat with trembling fingers, only to find that He Rui had sent more than a dozen messages and made several WeChat calls. Because he had muted the sound in the ward just now, he didn’t receive any of them.

    “Xiao Cheng, boss, his pheromones are unstable and he just used inhibitors…”

    “Xiao Cheng, my boss was in a bad mood during the afternoon meeting. The pheromone smell was very strong. Maybe the susceptible period is coming soon. Would you like to come to the company to see him?”

    “Xiao Cheng, I sent the boss home, haven’t you come back yet? The boss doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. I don’t dare to talk to him…”

    “Xiao Cheng! The boss just left the documents in the car. When I took him upstairs, I found that he had fainted!! We are in the ambulance now. Come to the city hospital as soon as possible!!!”

    “Xiao Cheng, where have you been? The boss is calling your name!”

    Looking at the message on the screen, Cheng Cheng’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, making him unable to breathe.The street scene outside the window was moving backwards rapidly, but he still felt that the car was driving too slowly.

    Cheng Cheng’s footsteps were rapid, tapping the smooth marble floor of the hospital, making a rapid and dull echo.

    He rushed to the city hospital without stopping. As soon as he entered the lobby after the security check, he heard two middle-aged aunts walking out of the elevator supporting each other.

    One of the curly-haired women covered her nose, frowned and complained: “The smell is too strong. He should be put in a separate isolation ward! Why is he still staying in the inpatient unit now?”

    The aunt next to her quickly patted her back and lowered her voice to comfort her: “Keep your voice down! That’s an S-class Alpha, we can’t afford to offend him. When he was pulled into the ordinary ward next door, I took a sneak peek and his face was as white as paper.His legs were slumped, and he was obviously paralyzed.I heard that the special care unit of the hospital was full when he was sent there, so he had to be temporarily accommodated.But looking at the situation, he knew that his family situation was unusual. I heard that he was transferred to special care just after the relationship was resolved.”

    The curly-haired woman was still muttering “No matter how rich you are, you can’t pollute the air.” The two of them walked away arm in arm, their footsteps and complaints being lengthened by the echoes in the hall.

    Cheng Cheng felt cold, they couldn’t be talking about Wei Zhi.

    “Zizzi——” The phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated, and the three words “Secretary He” on the screen made his fingertips tremble.

    “Hey, Xiao Cheng! Where have you been?” As soon as the call was connected, He Rui’s anxious voice came over to him with obvious panic, “I just got a call from my girlfriend and rushed back, but the hospital called again to say that my boss’s condition has suddenly worsened. I can’t get away at all now!”

    “I’ve arrived at the hospital. Where is Wei Zhi now?” Cheng Cheng’s voice was trembling, and his steps were running towards the elevator entrance involuntarily.

    “He is in Ward 1308, the special care inpatient department on the 13th floor. Go and have a look! My girlfriend had a car accident on the road. I have to get there quickly!” He Rui was a little annoyed. “She just got her driver’s license. I shouldn’t have let her hit the road alone.”

    “Is she seriously injured?” Cheng Cheng rushed into the elevator and pressed the “13” button with his fingers. The elevator door slowly closed, reflecting his anxious face.

    “Everyone is fine. It’s just that the other car owner is being unreasonable. My girlfriend can’t handle it alone.” He Rui sighed, “I’ll go over there after I’m done with it. Just keep an eye on the boss. If you have any questions, contact me anytime!”

    “Okay, then you should drive slower…”

    After hanging up the phone, Cheng Chengcheng ran towards the end of the corridor as soon as the elevator door opened.

    The special protection area on the 13th floor was exceptionally quiet. The floor covered with non-slip carpet absorbed most of the sound, leaving only his heavy footsteps echoing in the empty corridor and hitting the white walls, making a harsh echo.

    The smell of disinfectant in the corridor was accompanied by a faint, oppressive pheromone, which made him, a Beta, subconsciously tense up.

    Cheng Cheng remembered this flavor, mint julep, which was Wei Zhi’s pheromone flavor.
