I Have To Love【Abo】 Chapter 19
byNoodles on stage
In the hospital conference room, Su Tai sat at the top, and the family doctor and the attending physician sat on both sides to report Xie Qiao’s condition to Su Tai.
“Xie Qiao has recently been taking benzodiazepine. This drug will affect his endocrine system and nervous system, causing him to have irregular estrus and neurotic spasms. In severe cases, it will be accompanied by stiffness of the limbs. We are currently using drugs to stabilize his condition, but we still need surgery to solve it. The glandular nerves are complicated. He has had it done once before because of a cut. If it happens again…”
The family doctor observed his words. Su Tai didn’t have much reaction in the first half. Later, his face darkened significantly. He rubbed his brows and said, “You should maintain the current situation as stable. I know that Xie Qiao is taking medicine. I have asked people at the institute that this type of medicine assists in body regulation. In other words, Xie Qiao’s series of reactions are caused by the body, not the effect of the medicine. As for the surgery, I have other arrangements.”
“Understood.” The attending doctor said more, “Mr. Su, as Xie Qiao’s attending doctor, may I ask, what are your other arrangements?”
“I will arrange for someone to meet you later.”
Su Tai left the conference room and walked to the ward.In the past few days, he has been running back and forth between the company and the hospital. He is smelling of hospital disinfectant. Some meetings are held in the hospital. When Xie Qiao is bored, he peels apples for Su Tai beside him.
Xie Qiao always felt sleepy after taking the medicine. He would nod drowsily and take a nap when he was halfway through peeling the apple. When Su Tai took away the things in his hand, he took the opportunity to hold Su Tai’s hand until he fell asleep.
Su Tai is a pampered young man who never touches the spring water. His ability to take care of others is all learned from Xie Qiao.Xie Qiao once had a high fever. Su Tai happened to be at home and broke in with his family doctor. He was too anxious and didn’t remember to have a spare key, so he kicked the door into pieces. Later, Su Kun called Su Tai a bandit.
After Xie Renqing passed away, Xie Qiao was completely transferred to Su Tai. Su Tai felt that Xie Qiao was a little kid who didn’t understand anything, so he told Aunt Wang to take good care of him. Su Tai, like his father, was kind-hearted and responsible. When he thought of Xie Qiao being in his hands, he became Xie Qiao’s real brother, like father and mother. He was busy with company work and had to go to hold a parent-teacher meeting for Xie Qiao.
Looking at the sleeping person, Su Tai even wondered whether it was a habit to take care of Xie Qiao, or whether it was because of other ideas.
Su Kun called to ask if the living things left by Xie Renqing were dead. Looking at Su Tai guarding the hospital, he said, “When I get old, can you take care of me like this?”
Su Tai said that his little lover probably would not be able to take care of her because he was waiting in line. Su Kun was so angry that he hung up the phone with his beard blown in his eyes.
After these few days of self-cultivation, Xie Qiao’s face became rosy, and he didn’t know what big things he was pretending to do. He kept talking about it while sleeping, and Su Tai couldn’t hear it clearly.
There was a knock on the ward door, and Su Tai saw the man standing at the door – Han Zheng.
I have seen him countless times in photos. He is even better-looking in person than in the photos. He is a few centimeters shorter than Su Tai. “Hello, I’m here to see Xie Qiao.”
The man was quite polite and had something in his hand.
Su Tai was used to messing around in the business world, and everything seemed calm and calm. “Who are you?”
“My name is Han Zheng, I am Xie Qiao’s classmate. I sent him a message and he said he was ill and hospitalized, so I came to see him. I haven’t asked yet, who are you…”
Su Tai frowned slightly when he heard the word “you”. Although he meant respect, the word made him look much older, “I am his brother, please come in.”
Han Zheng was surprised, “It turns out that you are Ah Qiao’s brother. He often mentioned you to me and said that he was brought up by his brother. When I saw you today, you turned out to be as calm and handsome as Ah Qiao said.”
Han Zheng kept shouting “Aqiao Aqiao”, which made Su Tai upset, but he still maintained his superficial demeanor, “Really? He never praises me at home. He always thinks that I am controlling him, and he has a bad temper in front of me. This is not okay and that is not okay.”
Han Zheng all heard it as a younger brother relying on his older brother, a family style of getting along.
“That’s why you said that because you are very important to him.” Han Zheng put down his things and his voice became softer when he saw Xie Qiao sleeping, “A Qiao looks better than the previous two days.”
“Well. Sit down.” Su Tai asked him to sit on the sofa aside and handed Han Zheng a glass of lemonade. “Aqiao likes to drink flavored water, so this is the only one in the ward. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality.”
Han Zheng took it, took a sip and put it down politely, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Ah Qiao’s favorite drink must be good.”
Su Tai glanced at him and asked, “When did you and Ah Qiao meet? I’ve never heard him mention you before.”
Su Tai has a deep voice and has been in a high position all year round. Everything he looks at and asks feels the pressure of the superiors. Han Zheng takes over well and is not timid, but he is a little nervous thinking that this is Xie Qiao’s brother.
“Not long after we met, he was stalked by an alpha that day. I happened to pass by. I saw him so scared that he cried and sent them to the hospital. Later, I added his contact information.” Han Zheng kept looking at Xie Qiao. “I saw the surveillance at the police station. He knocked down an alpha with one punch. I have never seen such a handsome omega.”
“Thank you for helping our family Aqiao that day.” Su Tai thanked him with a smile, his eyes were deep, and the word “our family” was emphasized.
“You’re welcome.” Han Zheng looked at the person on the hospital bed and asked, “Aqiao is usually in good health, why is he suddenly hospitalized?”
“It’s nothing serious,” Su Tai said, “I’ll let him stay in the hospital for two more days and then go back to school after he’s rested. There’s no rush.”
“Omega’s body structure is more complex, and his body is naturally weaker. He needs to rest well to avoid leaving the root of the disease.” Han Zheng looked at Xie Qiao with a smile, “This is the first time I have seen him sleeping. He is as quiet as usual.”
“Is he usually bored at school?” After Xie Qiao entered college, Su Tai rarely asked him about his friends. After all, they were adults and were not as in charge as they were when they were children.
Han Zheng shook his head, “No, he just talks less. He participates in many activities and is on the school debate team. Many people like him. I saw him on the school confession wall.”
“Is there such a thing as a confession wall in universities?” Sutai University did not study in China, and there was an eight-year gap between them. It is difficult to say the difference in these eight years.
Han Zheng picked up his phone and checked it in the photo album, then handed it to Su Tai, “This is this one, I specially saved it.”
The picture is clean and clear, [Wangqiang, anonymous, I want to express my love for Xie Qiao, a second-year law student. I fell in love with him at first sight when I saw him playing basketball on the playground. I hope he can see it.】
There are a few more comments below.
“We who wanted to chase Xie Qiao didn’t catch him.”
“Don’t think about it, Xie Qiao doesn’t fall in love.”
“If you chase someone and get rejected, don’t try this handsome guy easily.”
Su Tai returned the phone to Han Zheng, but the corner of his mouth curled up because of Xie Qiao’s popularity, “Why did you save this photo?”
Han Zheng blushed all of a sudden. The alpha, who was younger than Su Tai, couldn’t hide something. Han Zheng’s heart was pounding. The person in front of him was Xie Qiao’s only relative, “That…I…”
“Do you like Xie Qiao?”
Su Tai’s tone was calm and he threw it to Han Zheng.Han Zheng has no love experience, let alone confessing to his family before confessing to his sweetheart. The fabric of his pants screamed injustice under his hands, “Brother! No, that, me, I am a sophomore in the School of Architecture. My father is a civil servant, my mother is a bridge designer, and one of my sisters is married. II have savings. I… like Xie Qiao. Although I haven’t told him yet, I’ll tell you… I never thought about it before. Since you asked, I will make a promise first. If Aqiao agrees to be with me, I will treat him wholeheartedly. Xie Qiao is my first love. I fell in love at first sight. I promise to love him only.”
Han Zheng spoke from the bottom of his heart and his eyes were filled with sincerity.
Han Zheng saw a crack flash across Su Taiba’s unmoving face, fearing that he was not sincere enough, and continued: “I promise that Aqiao will promise me that I will be good to him all his life. If he doesn’t promise me, I will respect him and will never force him to go against his will. I guarantee it with my personality.”
For a long time, the air was quiet and he could hear the footsteps in the corridor outside the door. Han Zheng was afraid that Xie Qiao would wake up and speak in a hushed voice. At this time, he was already dry. He was also afraid that Su Tai would think that he was not sincere and did not dare to act.
After a long time, Su Tai finally spoke, “This is your young people’s business, I won’t care about it.”
“Does that mean you won’t object to my relationship with Xie Qiao?”
Han Zheng looked at Su Tai with clear eyes and gradually smiled.
Su Tai glanced at the motionless man lying on the hospital bed and said, “It depends on Ah Qiao’s wishes.”
“Thank you.” Han Zheng wanted to recognize this uncle immediately, but was afraid of appearing too excited, so he drank some water and sat quietly.
After sitting there for two minutes, I felt the atmosphere was too awkward and left.
Su Tai leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes. He walked to Xie Qiao’s bed and said, “Don’t pretend to be asleep when you wake up.”
Xie Qiao closed his eyes and slid his eyes left and right through his eyelids. He seemed to feel that Su Tai was sitting next to him and would not leave, so he slowly opened his eyes, “I didn’t pretend to sleep, I really fell asleep.”
Su Tai didn’t mince words, “Do you like him?”
“Ah?” Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, sensing that Su Tai was unhappy, and pursed his lips to suppress the corners of his lips that he wanted to raise.
Su Tai frowned, “So happy?”
“No.”
“If you like it, agree to it and take him home for a meal. I will help you investigate Han Zheng’s family background. The younger brother who matches me must at least be clean.” After Su Tai said this, he was ready to check Han Zheng’s three generations up, no matter what the purpose.
The smile on Xie Qiao’s face disappeared. Su Tai always asked him to find someone to fall in love with and always said that he should have a new life. His hands hiding under the quilt grasped the sheets tightly, looked at Su Tai and asked, “What about you?”
Su Tai touched Xie Qiao’s hand through the quilt, then moved it away, “Of course I hope you are happy.”
“I’m asking you, do you want me to leave you and live my own life? Do you have someone you like?” Xie Qiao looked at Su Tai, as if he couldn’t get enough of it, but looking at this thin-lipped, emotionless face, he felt extremely uncomfortable. “Is the woman who answered the phone that day the one you like?”
“No.”
“Then do you have someone you like?”
“Aqiao, I hope you understand that my marriage partner only needs to match my identity. Of course I can choose the one I like, but it may be difficult.”
Su Tai had a headache when he thought of being pushed by family members to get married and have children, as if he was afraid that if he died that day, no one would care about the family. Since there was no throne to pass on, it would be fine to just donate it, or they could manage it themselves. The head of the family said that he had a high position, but he was just a person working for the family.
When Xie Qiao grows up, the only thing he can do is to ensure that he has enough food and clothing, give him freedom, and his marriage. It is very important for an omega to get married. An omega can only be marked by an alpha and have children. Even if you can divorce and wash the mark, washing the mark will cause irreversible damage. From a biological point of view, there is no equality, so he has to check for Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao stubbornly asked again, “Do you have anyone you like?”
Su Tai lowered his eyes and said, “Yes.”
Su Tai himself didn’t believe this when he said it. He had been in the circle of young men in the mandala since he was a teenager. He had never been attracted to anyone. It was a fantasy for him to like anyone.
“You have someone you like and you go to sleep with someone else. Does the person you like know?” Xie Qiao was already sick, his voice trembled unsteadily, and the iris pheromones had a bitter taste, as if the branches would wither and fall in the next second, “This is very immoral.”
If it were Su Tai in the past, he might be bound by the word morality. Now Su Tai maintains self-restraint and etiquette on the surface, but on the inside, he has seen too many bad things in the business world for many years, and his moral bottom line can be lowered by three points.
For a moment, Su Tai was scolded for being immoral because of his love affair. He didn’t react. He raised his eyes and met Xie Qiao’s red eyes. He held his hands unconsciously. Do all the omegas in the world love to cry? All the omegas in the world are fragile. There are so many omegas in front of him, but the one in front of him is the same as he has been owed to him all his life. He can’t see him crying, and he can’t see him because he is fragile. “This is not something you should ask.”
“Then what should I ask? You can ask the person who likes me, but I can’t ask you?” Xie Qiao gasped, feeling tight in his chest, “Is it because I am your stepfather’s child, because I entered the Su family, because you raised me?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Xie Qiao’s glands began to hurt again, and he breathed hard, and his face turned red. “But I don’t blame Xie Renqing for dying in that house, nor do I blame my only relative for leaving. Since you don’t like me so much, why did you leave me in the Su family in the first place and let me fend for myself? Anyway, I didn’t know where I would die since I was a child.”
“Why did you keep me with you and throw me out again? If so, I really hate you.”
Xie Qiao remembered that when he was a child, his father had gambling debts and wanted to sell him, but he couldn’t sell for much as an alpha. It would have been better if he was an omega. He was so scared that he hid next to a stray dog’s kennel and slept with the dog for a week before he was discovered by passers-by.
He had no home since he was a child. The institute was the first place where he could live in peace for a month without being beaten or scolded, and the Su family was the second.
But now this man was trying to drive him away. His glands stirred up the nerves in his brain and made him fall into the pain of the past. The glands seemed to crush the entire shoulder.
“I won’t leave you alone.”
“But you wanted me to leave by myself, so you cold-blooded me.”
In an instant, Xie Qiao’s eyes turned scarlet and he clasped Su Tai’s hand tightly. A strange pheromone wrapped around the iris and floated in the air, causing Su Tai’s glands to sting.
“I will never, never lose you again.” The pain tore through Xie Qiao, and his whole body fell limply to Su Tai, who was so pressed that he could not move.
“Aqiao? Aqiao!”
“I don’t want to lose you, I only like you.”
