After finishing the conversation with the doctor, Zhou Rin came to Ji Ning's ward, stood in front of the bed, and looked down at Ji Ning lying on the bed.
There was a faint sweet fragrance in the room, Omega was still not awake, his face was pale and quiet, and his eyes were tightly closed.
His neck was smooth and fair, and the skin around the glands was smooth and flat, with no traces to be seen, and when he was in heat, he didn't get any Alpha smell, but his body had already been branded as Zhou Cun.
"… "
Zhou Rin looked at it for a long time, reached out and gently grasped Ji Ning's fingers, put his exposed hand back under the quilt, tugged the quilt for him, then turned and walked out.
This is the Omega belonging to his brother.
But after the death of his brother, the doctor asked him to replace his brother and mark this Omega.
Even if it wasn't a permanent mark, just a regular temporary mark was enough to make Ji Ning his Omega.
Just now, the Zhou family showed an embarrassing attitude towards the doctor's proposal. Out of their nostalgia for Zhou Rin, they didn't want Ji Ning to leave the Zhou family and find another Alpha in the future, but let Zhou Rin treat Ji Ning. Marking is really not realistic.
It's not that they don't want Zhou Rin to help Ji Ning. If he can replace Zhou Cun and become a partner with Ji Ning, they are very willing, but Zhou Rin naturally hates Omega's pheromones. If he marry Ji Ning, he will only let him It was very painful, this was another kind of harm to Ji Ning.
The Zhou family discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to let go and find an excellent and gentle Alpha for Ji Ning. However, at this moment, Zhou Rin suddenly stood up and said to his family.
"I'm fine, I can mark Ji Ning."
He pursed his lips, and his drooping hands gradually clenched into fists, finally revealing his secret.
"I don't know if it's because the pheromone is very similar to my brother's, and my brother and Ji Ning's pheromone are very compatible. I don't have any rejection of Ji Ning's pheromone. To me, he is a normal Omega. ."
His parents and sister were a little surprised when they heard the words. Maybe it was wrong to think so, but Zhou Rin alone did not reject Ji Ning's pheromones, which was a wonderful consolation to them.
Perhaps this was God's will. Originally, Zhou Rin could only spend his whole life with Beta, but now he has an Omega that he does not reject. Zhou Rin's pheromones are the best medicine to save Ji Ning, which shows that Ji Ning is destined to become A member of their family, even if Zhou Cun is gone, can still be a partner with Zhou Rin.
Cruel as it may be, that might be how they met.
Zhou Rin stood outside the building, the courtyard was quiet, the setting sun was sinking, and the afterglow dyed everything in a thin red.
He looked at the bloody sunset, raised his hand to light a menthol cigarette, and slowly exhaled a white mist, all his expressions were shrouded in haze.
Even if he wanted to deny it, in the darkest corner of his heart, the unspeakable shameless joy was still spreading like a virus.
From now on, Ji Ning will be his Omega. He can hug him, kiss him, and possess him. Even if he feels hard to let go of his brother's death, he has sufficient reasons to ignore the guilt and guilt in his heart. Hypnotizing himself, he was just thinking about Ji Ning.
In this way, Ji Ning had a reason to accept him.
Even if it was a substitute, or a dog crawling at Ji Ning's feet, as long as he could touch Ji Ning, it wouldn't matter if he gave up all his dignity.
- So this time, would you like to take a look at me
He lowered his eyes and watched the little sparks fall on the ground, speaking silently in the bottom of his heart.
However, when Ji Ning woke up, he rejected the doctor's advice.
Whether it was Zhou's father and Zhou's mother trying to persuade him, or several doctors taking turns to explain to him the disadvantages of continuing to use suppressive drugs, Ji Ning sat on the bed with a bloodless face, but still only shook his head slightly, calmly but firmly refused. with everyone.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were very anxious, they were really helpless, and finally raised it euphemistically, if Ji Ning couldn't accept Zhou Rin because of Zhou Cun, they could also introduce other Alphas to Ji Ning, but they were still rejected by Ji Ning. decline.
"Thank you uncle and auntie."
The weak Omega showed a faint smile and said softly: "But I don't need other people's marks, as long as I continue to give me the suppression drugs, I'll be fine."
"You child, why are you just disobedient..."
The two elders were touched by Ji Ning's infatuation with Zhou Cun, but they couldn't bear him to torture them like this. After Ji Ning's health improved, they brought him back to Zhou's house, and often left him and Zhou Rin alone, intentionally or unintentionally. get along.
They had hinted Zhou Rin more than once and asked him to take the initiative. Zhou Rin harbored guilt towards his brother, but could not help but yearn for Ji Ning. He could feel that he was being gradually alienated by Ji Ning.
Ji Ning became more and more indifferent to him. It was worse than before. Zhou Rin felt unbearably uncomfortable, but he did not dare to forcefully mark Ji Ning. He was afraid that Ji Ning would hate him and even leave the Zhou family. Ning is not a member of the Zhou family after all, if he wants to leave, the Zhou family has no right to stop him.
Unless they imprisoned Ji Ning, how could they bear it
Zhou Rin often sees Ji Ning taking suppressive drugs, but his condition is getting worse and worse. Even if he takes the medicine, he will still enter the estrus period, and he can only rely on injections to calm down every time.
That night, Ji Ning was in estrus again. Zhou Rin stood outside the door and heard Omega's painful murmur from inside the door. His heart was bitter, but he couldn't help being obsessed with the fragrance.
However, it didn't take long for the aroma to be mixed with a hint of blood.
The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger. Zhou Rin's heart suddenly tightened and he pressed the door handle immediately. However, the door was locked from the inside by Ji Ning. He couldn't get in. After the middle, all I saw was a small piece of dazzling blood.
Omega sat on the innermost side of the bed, curled up tightly into a small ball, holding a fruit knife in his hand, and slashed his arm sharply, the blood oozing out dyed his hands red.
There were three or four empty needles scattered on the bed. He cried with tears all over his face, his cheeks were morbidly blushing and stained with blood. It was supposed to be a sweet love tide, but because of Alpha's passing, he fell into extremes. in pain.
"Jining!!"
Zhou Rin's heart almost stopped, he rushed over, snatched the fruit knife from Omega's hand, and smashed it to the ground with a "clang" sound.
He clasped Ji Ning's shoulders tightly, his fingers so hard that the skin dented, his eyes were covered with scarlet bloodshots, and he roared hoarsely, "Are you crazy, do you know what the hell you're doing? ?!"
Ji Ning opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the Alpha in front of him, smelled a familiar breath, he suddenly whimpered, and blood dripped from his fingertips, as if the blood was gushing out of his heart.
"Zhou Cun, Zhou Cun..."
"Zhou Cun is dead! You see clearly, I'm Zhou Rin, I'm not Zhou Cun!"
Zhou Rin was about to be driven mad by him. He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, and his eyes were fierce like a beast. , inject your own pheromone little by little.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of pheromones, Zhou Rin bit him so hard that blood flowed into his mouth, he tasted Ji Ning's blood, and at the same time there were tears in his own eyes.
The nanny downstairs heard the movement from the bedroom, came up to check, saw the blood on Ji Ning's body, she screamed, and Zhou Rin regained a sense of reason from the state of losing control and madness.
Seeing the cut on Ji Ning's arm and the blood all over his body, his heart stopped for a moment, he immediately picked up Ji Ning and ran downstairs, with his hands shaking, he simply treated the wound for him, and then drove Ji Ning away to the hospital.
His parents and sister came to hear the news and saw that Zhou Rin's shirt was covered in blood. He was sitting outside the emergency room with his head bowed. Scary, but no big deal.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, but the doctor's next words made their hearts instantly suspend.
The doctor told them that this does not mean that Ji Ning's condition has completely stabilized. What is really bad is the internal condition of his body. During the estrus period, his already fragile body has already become riddled with holes. His condition will deteriorate rapidly and may even be life-threatening.
Zhou Rin slumped over her face with her hands and let out a low sob.
He has always respected Ji Ning's wishes and didn't force him to be marked. On the one hand, he didn't want Ji Ning to hate him, on the other hand, he still couldn't completely let go of his brother, so he chose to continue to wait. If he was willing to accept him, he wouldn't have to feel so guilty about his brother.
But at this time, he was strongly hating him, he hated his hesitation, hated Ji Ning's strong love for his brother, and even hated his brother, why he wanted to die, why did he have to deal with Ji Ning before he died Temporary marker.
So far, not only has Ji Ning forgotten his brother, but even his body has become his brother's property. Even if he dies, his brother will go to hell with his Omega and let him rot with him.
Zhou Rin was in a trance, leaning on the back of the chair and standing up slowly, ready to welcome Ji Ning out, but at this moment, the lights in the emergency room turned on again, and the nurse in the emergency room opened the door. Inform the doctor that the patient's condition has suddenly deteriorated sharply and requires immediate emergency rescue.
The doctor immediately turned back to the emergency room when he heard the words, staring at the red light on the door frame of the emergency room, a double image gradually appeared in front of Zhou Lin's eyes, reflecting a blood red.
His breath was filled with the breath of short-lived flowers, mixed with a strong smell of blood. The smell was so strong that it made it difficult for him to breathe. There was a constant buzzing in his ears, and his chest was so tight that he wanted to spit it out.
Consciousness is like an old tape, intermittent, sometimes he feels very awake, sometimes he seems to be dreaming, and even occasionally his consciousness will be interrupted for a few seconds, like falling asleep, but he is clearly not sleepy at all. .
The voices in the corridor became quieter and quieter. It was probably late at night, but Zhou Rin had no idea of time. He couldn't even think of picking up his phone and looking at it. There was only one thought left in his numb brain. .
do not die.
He cannot die.
Don't leave him like his brother did.
It seemed like a long time later, the lights in the emergency room went out, and the doctor came out from inside, the surgical gown was covered in blood, and he took off his mask and said something.
Zhou Rin's tinnitus was so serious that he couldn't hear what the doctor was saying. He just saw that his sister burst into tears after the doctor made the mouth shape.
In an instant, he was dizzy, his body swayed, and he fell down on the chair. Even if he wanted to stand up again, he found that he couldn't move at all. He couldn't say anything, and he couldn't move his knuckles. He was so numb that he couldn't feel his breathing or heartbeat.
He was covered in blood and sat quietly at the door of the emergency room, just like Ji Ning when his brother died.
He also lost his beloved.
…
This day was the day of Ji Ning's funeral. The weather was gloomy and it seemed that it might rain at any time.
Zhou Rin wore a black suit and stood silently among the condolences, with black hair and black eyes, and a pale face, like a silhouette in a black and white photo.
The Zhou family did not choose to be cremated, but placed Ji Ning's body in a transparent coffin, intending to bury him in a burial.
His body lay in the coffin, and everyone took turns to say goodbye to him. When it was Zhou Rin's turn, he held a bunch of white flowers in his hand and walked to the coffin. Like falling asleep.
He leaned over slowly and put the bouquet in front of the coffin, but suddenly he became a little unsteady, knelt down on one knee, and put his upper body on the coffin.
Rain suddenly fell in the sky, and it quickly became denser. Many people opened their umbrellas and held them high above their heads.
Zhou Rin's arm was pulled, making him stand up quickly, and at the same time he stuffed an open umbrella in his hand.
He held up his umbrella and put the handle on his shoulder, blocking all vision behind him. The rain fell down his chin. He looked down at Ji Ning in the coffin. He didn't get up, but lowered his head slowly. He kissed gently on the coffin lid.
All things are annihilated.
…
Zhou Rin sat at the desk, stared at the family portrait in the photo frame for a long time, suddenly reached out and took the photo frame over, with a soft click, she removed the back of the photo frame, and took out a piece of paper that was pressed behind the photo. strip.
The paper is crumpled and old in color. It was written by him many years ago. At that time, his brother was still alive and everyone was happy. He was still that bohemian playboy, but he was heartbroken because of his unspeakable secret love. When I was bored, I couldn't write a word during the exam. I doodled on the scratch paper and wrote a sentence.
"If I were my brother..."
After writing this sentence, he suddenly felt extraordinarily ashamed at that time, and he tore it out with a guilty conscience, and stuffed it into a ball in the school uniform pocket. down, has been preserved until now.
This is a very inexplicable sentence. Others can't understand it. If they understand it, they must just think that he doesn't want to be overwhelmed by his brother. In any case, he never thought that it would have something to do with Ji Ning.
No one knew his most secret wish. If he was the elder brother, he would have met Ji Ning first, making Ji Ning fall in love with him, but later he thought, if he could die in place of his elder brother, Ji Ning would not be so sad, and he would not have died so early. passed away.
Looking at this note, Zhou Rin curled the corners of her lips mockingly, put it on the table, and was about to restore the photo and note when she suddenly heard a knock on the door of the office.
"Please come in."
He turned the photo frame upside down, covering the photo and the note, and said to the person outside the door in a deep voice.
The door of the house opened in response, and his secretary walked in. The beautiful female secretary smiled and nodded at him, and said to him, "Mr. Zhou, it's time, you should go."
Zhou Rin was a little surprised, because he didn't remember any plans to go out this afternoon, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't you remember?" The secretary showed a hint of surprise and quickly laughed, "It's fortunate that you specifically told me to remind you. Your brother is going to participate in the city's speech contest, and you said that you must Come and see it, it's today."
"My... younger brother?" Zhou Rin frowned, "Which is my younger brother?"
The secretary was even more surprised: "Who else is there, young master Zhou Cun."
Zhou Rin was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold up the photo frame, only to find that the family portrait on it had changed, and it became a photo of their family of five in the past.
The parents in the photo are still very young. They are sitting in the middle of the photo, with a teenager and a girl standing beside them. A smaller boy is sitting on the father's lap. The girl is his sister, and the teenager should be his brother Zhou Cun, but now he became-
Zhou Rin's eyes gradually widened as he looked at the young man's face. Although he looked somewhat similar to his brother, it could not be mistaken that the young man was himself, and the boy sitting on his father's lap looked like his brother Zhou Cun. .
In the photo, he has become an older brother, while his older brother Zhou Cun has become a younger brother.
There was also a new line of handwriting on the yellowed note.
"That's as you wish."
