    Chapter 41

    In fact, Qi Feiluan had no chance to think about what Ji Xingyuan’s words meant. After that day, he continued to have a high fever and was forced to be hospitalized again.

    Another person’s pheromones, which should not have entered his body in the first place, flowed throughout his body as the blood flowed, like lava flowing in his body, and he could only wait for his body to metabolize the injected pheromones.

    When the fever reached an advanced stage, he vaguely thought that Ji Xingyuan was not just cold, but his coldness was just as hurtful as his heat.

    Fortunately, he was always in good health. On the third day of his fever, his body temperature finally began to gradually drop and returned to normal levels.

    He was hospitalized for another three days for observation. The doctor confirmed that the pheromone concentrate injected into his body had no side effects, and he was discharged.

    Unlike the last time Qi Feiluan was hospitalized, this time Ji Xingyuan stayed by his bedside during the six days.

    This time Ji Xingyuan does not need to take revenge personally, nor does he need to deal with the turmoil caused by Ji Tailin’s death. Now he has complete control of the Ji family.

    When Qi Feiluan could be discharged from the hospital, Ji Xingyuan said to him: “Aluan, I don’t know if you still remember what I said at that time. I still have to repeat it…”

    “You are an independent, free person with self-will, not my possessions or my tools. You can completely live the life you want, even…even if you want to be with Fu Jun, I will respect your wishes.”

    “I just wish I could be given a chance.”

    In the past six days, Ji Xingyuan felt cold for as long as Qi Feiluan had been feeling hot.

    But the current situation was all caused by him.

    The scorching sunlight coming in from the window hit him, and Ji Xingyuan felt as ridiculous as if he was suffering from hypothermia in early summer.

    “Give me a chance to love you again.”

    In fact, Qi Feiluan remembered what happened on the day he injected the pheromone concentrate, what he said, Ji Xingyuan’s words “I respect” that seemed to be cut out from his chest, and the…drops of rain that fell.

    Seeing that Qi Feiluan was silent, Ji Xingyuan thought that Qi Feiluan still didn’t believe him, so he continued hurriedly: “I have done many wrong things in the past, and I don’t expect your forgiveness, but don’t give me any reaction again. Yunta… Last time at Yunta, this proves that you don’t have any emotions towards me. You at least still have a grudge against me, right?”

    When Ji Xingyuan wanted to find some evidence to prove that Qi Feiluan still had feelings for him, he found that he couldn’t find any evidence at all. He could only grasp what happened that night in Yunta as if he was grasping the last life-saving straw.

    Complain?

    Qi Feiluan was also a little confused.

    Maybe.

    When Yun Ta saw Ji Xingyuan’s high-spirited appearance that night and felt the happiness emanating from him from the inside out, Qi Feiluan did those things inexplicably.

    Saying those words, giving Ji Xingyuan an unsmiling smile, and then seeing him fall from the top of the mountain of happiness to the abyss of pain in an instant, seeing the hurt look on his face that he tried hard to hide but couldn’t control, seeing the anger that was about to burst out that he tried so hard to suppress, and seeing him leave the scene in embarrassment…

    At that moment, Qi Feiluan truly and sincerely felt better.

    Maybe he just couldn’t stand Ji Xingyuan’s happiness, maybe he was seeking revenge out of resentment, but he was still emotionally affected by Ji Xingyuan.

    Qi Feiluan unconsciously raised his hand and touched the arch of his eyebrow, thinking of the sudden drop of rain.

    He did love Ji Xingyuan, and he often thought it would be better if they still stayed on the planet.

    On the planet, there is no universally recognized gap between Alpha and Beta between the two of them, and there is no division between those in power and subordinates. They are just comrades who train together and teenagers who each hold love.

    But in fact, it was Ji Xingyuan who threw himself into the pyramid society of the earth alone, leaving him to walk alone on the snowy field with love in his arms.

    Just when he felt frozen, Ji Xingyuan suddenly told him that the summer that never existed was coming, and the ice and snow would turn into raindrops and fall…

    Qi Feiluan put down his hand and suddenly asked: “Why didn’t you notify me to come to the hospital immediately when there were signs of pheromone disorder?”

    Ji Xingyuan was startled, not expecting that he would suddenly mention this matter, but then he felt a burst of ecstasy, and he immediately said: “Because I was afraid that you would misunderstand, and I asked you to come to the hospital suddenly, I was afraid that you would think of what happened four years ago.”

    Similar scene, same place, Ji Xingyuan didn’t want Qi Feiluan to mistakenly think that he would do anything else, so he didn’t let anyone notify Qi Feiluan immediately, but it seemed that this behavior had the opposite effect.

    “Your left arm…”

    “It’s not to monitor you better.” Ji Xingyuan said, “I just… feel guilty. I occasionally want to hear your voice, and I won’t do it again.”

    “Injection of pheromone concentrate…”

    “I want to communicate. You were not willing to communicate with me before. Jian Junshuang said that at least you must be willing to communicate with me first. Pheromones are another language of Alpha, so I thought this might allow you to express your thoughts to me.”

    Ji Xingyuan said bitterly: “I know this is also wrong, but I have no other choice. Even if you blame me more, it is better than the calm and empty look you have when facing me.”

    “More importantly, you are not an Alpha, and you will not have a susceptible period, so you will not feel the pain of being driven by pheromones. I really want you to feel the same as me.”

    Ji Xingyuan was completely honest with Qi Feiluan about his thoughts and feelings, without shying away or hiding anything. After all, for him, it was already the biggest surprise that Qi Feiluan was willing to ask.

    Talking about them one by one, Ji Xingyuan realized how many unexplained things existed between the two of them, and he also understood more clearly how wrong he was.

    But at least Qi Feiluan is willing to give out his questions, whether he is resentful or hateful, at least he still has a chance to make up for his mistakes.

    After listening to Ji Xingyuan’s explanation, Qi Feiluan turned his head and looked out the window.

    At the end of May, it is the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and the end of autumn in the southern hemisphere. Wonderful stories are happening on this planet every moment. Not only people, but also animals are enjoying their lives.

    Maybe he really should leave Ji Xingyuan for a while to find the long-abandoned self.

    “Ji Xingyuan,” Qi Feiluan turned around and looked directly at Ji Xingyuan, calling his full name instead of Mr. Ji, “You expect me to be myself again, but I have lost myself for so long that I have forgotten what I look like.”

    “So I decided to apply for suspension from you, and I will arrange for someone to take over my job.”

    “Since you say that I am a free and independent person, then don’t monitor me, don’t locate my location, and don’t try to find me in other ways.”

    “Leave me alone for a while.”

    He didn’t say when he would return or where he was going. Maybe Qi Feiluan would never come back after leaving this time, but Ji Xingyuan could only say:

    “Okay.”

    The world is so big that the distance of light from the earth to the planets is measured in years.

    There are so many people in this world that they need to be measured in hundreds of millions.

    But God favored him so much that Qi Feiluan was born next to him, grew up with him, and fell in love with him.

    But he still hurt Qi Feiluan and lost Qi Feiluan.

    No matter how much money or power he has, he will eventually lose to his heart that has learned to love others.

    After the two resumed work, Qi Feiluan arranged for someone to take his place temporarily.

    After Ji Tailin’s death, the forces surrounding him have basically dissipated under Ji Xingyuan’s suppression. The Ji Family Group and Hongtong have been purged. Ji Xingyuan has become the uncompromising leader, and no one can threaten his status and personal safety anymore.

    As for Grantham, he succeeded once, and Ji Xingyuan was already prepared. The success rate of another assassination was too low, and the possibility was not high.

    Qi Feiluan arranged everything to ensure that Ji Xingyuan’s safety would not be affected by his departure.

    Then he returned home and told Qi’s father and Qi’s mother that he had applied for a leave of absence and wanted to take a break.

    Qi’s father carefully observed his expression and saw that his brows were less indifferent and more alert than before, so he patted his shoulder and said, “Okay, as long as you are willing, this may not be a bad thing. Go out for a walk, but remember to come back to see us often.”

    Qi’s mother also answered: “Maybe when we are on vacation, tell us where you are, your father and I will go find you, and we will go traveling as a family of three.”

    Qi Feiluan nodded.

    In addition to Qi’s father and Qi’s mother, Qi Feiluan also confessed her thoughts to Fu Jun when Fu Jun came to adjust his prosthetic limbs again.

    “Fu Jun, I really wanted to be with you four years ago, but…” Qi Feiluan paused, “You understand, it was Ji Xingyuan who interrupted everything. You are excellent, and I am also sorry for the four years you were forced to work on the planet. If you need help with anything, you can tell me.”

    “I know your purpose for coming back this time, but I have no idea of who I’m going to be with now. I’m on leave from work, and I’m going to leave alone for a while.”

    “Fu Jun, I think we can all start our lives again.”

    Fu Jun looked at Qi Feiluan and felt in a daze that the four years of separation had never existed. Qi Feiluan was still the same Qi Feiluan.

    Qi Feiluan four years ago was so determined and high-spirited. Fu Jun knew before that Qi Feiluan had Ji Xingyuan in his heart.

    A Beta falling in love with Alpha is so strange and weird. Even an outstanding person like Fu Jun has to admit the universal rules of how the world works: Alpha dominates the world, Omega is a vassal of Alpha, and Beta is the unknown base of the pyramid society.

    While Fu Jun believed that Qi Feiluan would be injured sooner or later because of his wishful thinking, he couldn’t help but be attracted by his enthusiasm.

    Until Fu Jun saw Qi Feiluan firing a gun at the shooting range. Qi Feiluan was just like the bullets fired from the gun in his hand. At that time, Fu Jun had no doubt that he could break the barrier between Alpha and Beta.

    But even though he was as determined and powerful as Qi Feiluan, he still hit the wall of despair, and because of this, Fu Jun got a chance to get along with Qi Feiluan.

    Qi Feiluan seemed to have never lived an ordinary life, so he was a little clumsy when getting along with him, but those clumsiness became another point of his cuteness.

    At that time, Fu Jun felt that Ji Xingyuan defined Qi Feiluan’s life. Although Qi Feiluan became as dazzling as a flame because of his love, it was too painful.

    Fu Jun was thinking that he didn’t need Qi Feiluan to burn for him. He just wanted the two of them to live an ordinary life together and enjoy some ordinary people’s happiness. That was enough.

    The author has something to say: There is still some plot to follow, but it is almost reaching the end. Ji Xingyuan will always have to pay some real price before he gets the chance to start over.
