    Chapter 33

    The prosthetic limb customized for Qi Feiluan perfectly met his own requirements. In appearance, he did not ask for bionics. Instead, it was mainly black in color, and it also had built-in firearms and cold weapons.

    After the connection was completed, Qi Feiluan stumbled when he stood up and took the first step.

    The prosthetic installer next to him said: “This is a coordination problem. Generally, this problem will occur when replacing prosthetic limbs on the legs. The mechanical prosthetic limb will provide stronger power than your original limb, which requires continuous adjustment according to your own situation.”

    Qi Feiluan stood up straight and asked him: “Do you want to debug it now?”

    “It can be debugged now.” The installer said, “But to get the best feeling of use, long-term and precise debugging is needed based on your feedback during use. We know that you are busy at work and may not be able to spare much time to come to the hospital frequently. We will send a prosthetic debugger to connect with you on a long-term basis in the future, and he can at any time.”

    Qi Feiluan nodded. After the installer debugged, he walked out of the room and saw Ji Xingyuan sitting on a chair in the corridor.

    Ji Xingyuan looked at him carefully from top to bottom, his eyes fixed on his left leg that had regained support, and then he said: “I hope the installation goes well.”

    Qi Feiluan nodded, somewhat confused as to why Ji Xingyuan came to the hospital, and even more confused as to whether he should leave directly now.

    After hesitating for a moment, Qi Feiluan saw that Ji Xingyuan had no intention of saying anything else or leaving, and since he was still on weekend leave, there was no need to stay with Ji Xingyuan in the hospital, so he turned and left.

    Ji Xingyuan sat there motionless, watching Qi Feiluan leave. The doctor who was still waiting next to him came over and said to him: “The test results are out, Mr. Ji. It’s nothing serious, but the inhibitors have begun to affect your pheromone secretion levels.”

    “Inhibitors can suppress your pheromones at normal levels when you are in a susceptible period. This will give your glands a feedback, and the glands will think that it is because it does not secrete enough pheromones and your susceptible period has not arrived. When the next susceptible period comes, the glands will double the secretion of pheromones in an attempt to bring you into a susceptible period.”

    “And if you still want the inhibitor to take effect, you can only increase the dose of the inhibitor again. This is why it is not medically recommended for Alpha and Omega to use inhibitors for a long time to force them through special periods. This is too easy to cause pheromone disorders.”

    “Top Alphas like Mr. Ji are more likely to have this problem. I will prescribe another type of inhibitor to Mr. Ji. This inhibitor needs to be injected directly into the gland. The inhibitory effect is greater, but the corresponding side effects will also be greater.”

    “As a doctor, my advice is…” The doctor paused, trying to be more tactful, and said, “Don’t go against normal physiological needs. You are 25 years old. Even if you don’t combine with an Omega, you can still choose an Omega to spend the susceptible period together.”

    “No.” Ji Xingyuan stood up and said to the doctor, “I will ask my assistant to get the new inhibitor.”

    “Okay.” The doctor sighed helplessly, then hesitated and stopped talking for a long time.

    Ji Xingyuan said decisively: “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

    The doctor was shocked and said, “In fact, if you don’t need to replace the inhibitor with a new one, there is another way, which is to extract the pheromones secreted by your glands when the susceptible period comes.”

    “But this is a new technology and it takes 2-3 hours a day. Theoretically, extracting the pheromones will be more beneficial to the body than forcibly suppressing it. But this is only theoretical. You haven’t reached that point yet. I still recommend that you use inhibitors for the time being.”

    The reason for the doctor’s hesitation, apart from the fact that this was a new technology, was that it would be difficult for a busy person like Ji Xingyuan to spare 2-3 hours a day to lie in the hospital ward extracting pheromones.

    Sure enough, after Ji Xingyuan learned about it, he still said: “I will use a new inhibitor this time.”

    However, just as the doctor nodded, he heard Ji Xingyuan say: “But I still need to be prepared. If the new inhibitor is not effective, I may have to use this method next month.”

    Qi Feiluan, who was walking out, suddenly stopped when he reached the underground garage of the hospital.

    He has been wondering why Ji Xingyuan came to the hospital. Is it just to see if the installation of his prosthesis goes smoothly?

    Until now, he suddenly realized that today was April 22nd, which happened to be Ji Xingyuan’s susceptible period.

    Now think about it, since he accompanied Ji Xingyuan through the susceptible period in December, Ji Xingyuan spent the subsequent susceptible periods relying on inhibitors.

    It’s only been four months, has Ji Xingyuan reached the point where he has to come to the hospital?

    Qi Feiluan frowned.

    But in the hospital corridor, Ji Xingyuan didn’t stop him or offer to spend the vulnerable period with him. Ji Xingyuan didn’t ask for it, and he didn’t have the position to do so.

    Forget it, Ji Xingyuan is already an adult and he can take responsibility for his own body.

    Qi Feiluan sat in the car and gave up thinking about these things.

    On May 1, Qi Feiluan was resting at home. Today he made an appointment with a debugger to come to debug his left leg prosthesis.

    When the doorbell rang, Qi Feiluan did not doubt that he was there. When he walked over and opened the door, he was stunned.

    “Fu Jun?”

    Standing outside the door was actually Fu Jun.

    Fu Jun smiled and said to him: “Fei Luan, long time no see.”

    At that moment, Qi Feiluan thought that today was April Fool’s Day, April 1st, but then he remembered that today was May 1st, and the person standing in front of him was also a living Fu Jun, the Fu Jun he had seen on the planet before.

    “Are you surprised?” Fu Jun took out his work badge and held it in front of Qi Feiluan’s eyes and said, “I am your prosthetic limb adjuster, responsible for the debugging of your left leg prosthesis.”

    Truly surprised, Qi Feiluan came to his senses, stepped aside to let him in, and said to him: “I thought you were still working in the planetary mine, I didn’t expect it to be you.”

    Fu Jun came here to adjust Qi Feiluan’s left leg prosthetic. He still put his work first. While adjusting Qi Feiluan’s prosthetic, he said: “Although I originally studied mechanics, my specific direction is the manufacturing and debugging of artificial prostheses, not the maintenance of mining machines. The job at Planet X Mine is not suitable for me. After meeting you there, I decisively quit my job and returned to Earth.”

    Fu Jun said and smiled, he is a Beta, an extremely good Beta.His appearance is not as handsome as Ji Xingyuan’s, although he is equally handsome, but his lips are thin and lack color, the lip peaks are obvious, and his eyes are also long and narrow. Overall, it gives people the feeling of seeing a knife that has been tempered for thousands of times. It is dull but sharp, which can easily give people a sense of unattainable distance.

    Fu Jun probably knew this, so he wore a pair of silver-framed glasses, which more or less neutralized the sense of distance on his body and made him look more elegant.

    Although Fu Jun didn’t say it clearly, Qi Feiluan heard some implicit meaning.

    Qi Feiluan was able to study in that private school because of Ji Xingyuan’s favor.

    Fu Jun was able to enter that school purely because of his grades and talent. Although his major was mechanics, his research direction was the manufacturing and debugging of artificial prostheses, which is one of the most cutting-edge industries and research directions in this era.

    The climate on the planet is harsh and the working conditions are difficult. For such a promising mechanic to work in the planetary mines is equivalent to exile in itself.

    Four years ago, after Qi Feiluan woke up and had his neck replaced by a prosthetic limb, Fu Jun disappeared from his life almost at the same time.Obviously, whether to work in the planetary mine or the Ji family’s planetary mine, this cannot be due to Fu Jun’s wishes, and it can only be Ji Xingyuan’s handiwork.

    Qi Feiluan had mixed feelings for a moment and could only say: “I’m sorry.”

    Fu Jun shook his head and looked at Qi Feiluan with eyes full of tenderness and longing. He said, “There is nothing to be sorry for. Let’s try to stand up and take a few steps.”

    Qi Feiluan stood up and walked a certain distance in the living room as he was told, and found that the sensitivity of his left leg was much more suitable than before.

    “It fits much better.”

    Fu Jun nodded and said, “If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, be sure to tell me. Prosthetics need to be adjusted many times.”

    Qi Feiluan nodded.

    Fu Jun watched him in action and continued: “After I came back, I contacted Uncle Qi. After knowing the cause and effect, as well as what happened to your left leg, I applied for this position.”

    “Are you and Ji Xingyuan a couple?” Fu Jun finally asked.

    Qi Feiluan paused, turned around, looked at Fu Jun, and shook his head.

    “So are you single now?”

    Qi Feiluan nodded.

    “Then can I pursue you again?”

    Qi Feiluan paused.

    Fu Jun laughed, and his indifferent face smiled like a lake rippled by the spring breeze. He said, “Then I’m relieved. The past can’t be forgotten, but I’m back, and you’re still single. I think we can start over.”

    Fu Jun was never one to dwell on the past. He always had only one goal, and that was Qi Feiluan.

    Qi Feiluan did not shake his head or nod.

    Fu Junyuan is better at reading a person’s thoughts than Ji Xingyuan. He never forces anyone, nor is he eager to get an answer after saying what he wants to say. He said: “I just hope to be one of the candidates. When you consider the person who will spend your life with you in the future, I will be an option.”

    There is no need to question Fu Jun’s professional ability. After the debugging was completed, he did not stay at the Qi family for too long, but said goodbye professionally and appropriately.

    After Fu Jun left, Qi Feiluan sat on the sofa, feeling a little upset for a while.

    Start over. This is the second person he has heard say “start over” during this period.

    Four years ago, because of Ji Tailin’s threat, he really wanted to be with Fu Jun, but Ji Xingyuan quickly and forcefully interrupted the process.

    But Fu Jun came back four years later. Even if he was willing to start over with Fu Jun, could Ji Xingyuan really be able to bear not to intervene?

    Qi Feiluan was upset here, while Ji Xingyuan on the other side at Ji’s manor was even more upset.

    He could monitor Qi Feiluan’s movements through the prosthesis on Qi Feiluan’s neck. He originally didn’t want to monitor Qi Feiluan anymore. He knew very well that being monitored would be unbearable for anyone, and he said that he would restrain his pathological possessiveness and wanted to restore a normal relationship with Qi Feiluan.

    But he couldn’t help but want to know about the adjustment of Qi Feiluan’s prosthetic limb, whether he was used to the prosthetic limb, and how he felt about using the prosthetic limb. He didn’t listen at first, but looked at the voice-converted text on the screen of his left prosthetic limb.

    But when the words “Fu Jun” appeared in front of him, he couldn’t help but let go of his voice.

    During the monitoring, Fu Jun was mostly talking. When Fu Jun continuously asked Qi Feiluan, “Are he and Ji Xingyuan in a relationship?”, “Are they still single” and “Can I pursue him again?”, Ji Xingyuan could not hear Qi Feiluan’s reply.

    There was no response, and Ji Xingyuan felt more and more anxious. He could feel the pheromones that had been forcibly suppressed during the susceptible period that had just passed, rolling in his blood and burning his internal organs.

    When he heard Fu Jun say to Qi Feiluan, “I think we can start over,” Ji Xingyuan’s prosthetic left hand forcefully broke off the armrest of the sofa.

    Fu Jun said the same thing to Qi Feiluan.

    Ji Xingyuan could hear the sound of his nerves being struck one by one.
