Huo Tinglan arrived very quickly, and Ye Ci's morning self-study class had not yet ended when he was taken away from the infirmary.
The person who accompanied Ye Ci to see the doctor was one of Huo Tinglan's assistants. Her surname was Lin and she was a middle-aged female beta with a kind face. With such an identity, it was convenient for her to accompany an omega to see the doctor without having to avoid suspicion.
The three of them went to a private hospital, which was quiet and less crowded, and they didn't have to wait in line. Assistant Lin generously held Ye Ci's arm, and Ye Ci didn't have the energy to refuse, and followed her with his head down. She first accompanied Ye Ci to see the internal medicine department, and after doing a few tests, she followed the doctor's advice to go to the glandular secretion department. After the doctor did a series of tests, seeing that Ye Ci was in great pain, he didn't say much, but wrote him an infusion order and asked him to get the drip as soon as possible, and asked his family members to come into the clinic for a talk.
Assistant Lin went to the pharmacy and brought back a brown paper bag filled with medicine. He handed Ye Ci a cup of hot water and stood by to comfort him, "I asked when I passed by the clinic, and Mr. Huo said it was no big deal, so don't worry."
"Yes." Ye Ci took the paper cup while receiving the IV drip. "Thank you."
"It's my duty." Assistant Lin said kindly.
Ye Ci emptied his paper cup, took the brown paper bag from the chair beside him, and motioned awkwardly: "Please sit down. Thank you for your hard work today."
“You’re welcome.” Assistant Lin sat down as he was told, a slight smile forming at the corners of his eyes.
She was temporarily sent by Huo Tinglan to take care of the child. She thought that a 17 or 18-year-old rich young master would be difficult to serve, but she didn't expect him to have such a temper. At first glance, he looked a little cold, but after showing kindness to him, he suddenly became easy to get along with, well-behaved and polite.
The drip was obviously the right treatment, and the abdominal pain was mostly relieved in a short while. Ye Ci sipped the hot water, pretended to casually pull out a medicine box from the brown paper bag, and lowered his eyes to read the instructions.
[Indications]: Suitable for relieving fever, abdominal pain, etc. caused by omega genital development.
Ye Ci, who was seriously lacking in knowledge of omega physiology, was stunned for a few seconds and rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "!"
…What cavity? !
Reproduce what?!
Ye Ci knew that omegas had that organ, but he had always had an alpha body before the secondary differentiation, so it had never grown. He thought... it would never grow again.
Ye Ci's hand shook and he crushed the medicine box.
After Huo Tinglan learned about the situation from the doctor, he was about to go back to the infusion room, but he caught a glimpse of Ye Ci in the corner through the glass door, looking as shy as a small tomato.
Perhaps because he had read the instructions for the medicine, his little face turned red as if it had been steamed, his eyes were nervous and confused, but he still pretended to be calm, resting his chin on his hand, holding a deformed medicine box in his hand.
Huo Tinglan stopped and stared at him uncontrollably, his heart agitated.
When the two met in their previous life, Ye Ci was 22 years old. At that time, he had fully accepted his omega identity, and Huo Tinglan was unable to accompany him through this confusing and shameful period of transformation.
When an omega matures, it will undergo a variety of physiological changes.
Secretive cavity development.
The abdomen gradually becomes soft to protect the reproductive organs in the body.
The sense of touch becomes more sensitive.
Softer than alpha, lanolin-like skin...
The omega part of Ye Ci's body is maturing.
Like the ovary tightly wrapped in the bean pod, it swells and becomes fuller day by day, growing into round green beans, which burst the pod bag.
Green and sexy.
And this whole process will be captured in his eyes.
Huo Tinglan tugged at his collar and his throat felt tight.
The alpha gland, which had been appeased and suppressed for many days, began to stir again.
…
In the infusion room, Ye Ci fiddled with the medicine box in a panic, his thoughts running through his mind.
Male omegas are rare and belong to the same sexual minority group as female alphas. He doesn't know much about male omegas and lacks the feeling of secondary differentiation. During this period, except for the change of the pheromone smell from the cold pine smell to the sweet vanilla smell, he has not felt anything and still thinks that secondary differentiation is just like that.
The result was a critical hit from reality.
Caught off guard.
He is a boy, but he has a...
etc…
He seemed to have overlooked one thing.
Assistant Lin said Huo Tinglan was talking to the doctor in the clinic.
Now, isn't Uncle Huo talking to the doctor about his new... genitalia? !
"!!"
Ye Ci was startled, his eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up to look outside the door.
When I looked up, I met a pair of dark eyes as dark as a deep pool.
Huo Tinglan was standing outside the glass door of the infusion room looking at him.
Ye Ci couldn't explain that look, it was full of desire, burning and ambiguous, like a soft hook, gently and tenderly digging into his heart... Just from that one look, in less than a second, his head went numb and he looked away in shock.
When he looked over again, Huo Tinglan had already walked in, holding a folded inspection report in his hand. He looked at Ye Ci calmly, still gentlemanly and proper as always. Perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, he just said lightly: "It's just a small problem, don't worry."
Ye Ci's throat was dry and he moved his lips, but he didn't know what to ask.
That glance just now... was it an illusion
He lowered his head and took the inspection report. He felt that one fold was not enough and almost folded it into a tofu block.
On the way back, he kept secretly glancing at Huo Tinglan out of the corner of his eye.
It looks normal no matter how you look at it.
When they accidentally looked at each other, Huo Tinglan raised his eyebrows and asked him what was wrong in an innocent and confused manner, and his expression did not seem fake.
Ye Ci could only wave his hands hesitantly. After being caught like this several times, he didn't even dare to sneak a peek. He stared straight ahead, more disciplined than during military training.
He must be crazy.
I saw it wrong.
After sending the assistant back to the company, Huo Tinglan led Ye Ci home, walked into the study on the third floor and closed the door. Then he pointed to the table and said in a gentle voice, "Sit down, we need to talk."
Ye Ci pursed his lips and sat down, but his face was tense, as if he was ready to run away at any time.
Fortunately, Huo Tinglan had prepared a draft in his mind on the way back. He had repeatedly pondered over every word and tried his best to avoid sensitive words.
Really... Even business negotiations are not so cautious.
"I had a brief talk with the doctor," Huo Tinglan controlled his tone and said calmly, "It's all normal, don't worry, but you need to take medicine on time to relieve the symptoms. Take it for half a month and then go for a checkup... Is there a problem?"
Ye Ci relaxed a little from his tense shoulders and shook his head.
"In addition," Huo Tinglan took a marker and followed the doctor's instructions, writing words like "three times a day, one tablet each time" in a conspicuous place on each medicine box. "The doctor thinks that the severity of your symptoms this time may be related to bad work and rest habits. Uncle He said that during this period of time, the small desk lamp in your room was sometimes on until two in the morning. Did you go back to your room and study secretly?... It's a good thing to be willing to make progress, but if your body is broken and your eyesight is damaged, how can you take the college entrance examination?" He slowly enumerated Ye Ci's crimes. Seeing that Ye Ci was silent and resisted stubbornly, he raised his eyelids and made a low nasal sound, "Hmm?"
"... I understand, Uncle Huo." Ye Ci said reluctantly.
"Will you stay up late again in the future?" Huo Tinglan put several medicine boxes into a brown paper bag, handed it to Ye Ci, and added, "I'm afraid you'll take the wrong medicine, so I've labeled it for you."
Ye Ci lowered his eyes and looked at the sharply written instructions on the medicine box, and that warm feeling welled up in his heart again.
He was softened a little by the warmth, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "I won't endure it anymore."
Huo Tinglan was determined to change Ye Ci's habit of not taking care of his body. He leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingertips. He looked at him carefully, as if he was negotiating in a business relationship, and said solemnly, "Are you really going to change, or are you just fooling me?"
Ye Ci's eyes trembled slightly: "Really, I won't endure it anymore, and I won't take medicine randomly anymore... I'm not fooling you."
"Then it's settled. If you stay up until the second half of the night," Huo Tinglan said in a very intimidating tone, "if I catch you again..."
Ye Ci was about to issue a military order when he heard Huo Tinglan slowly add the second half of the sentence: "Just move to my room and sleep."
Ye Ci was stunned, his mouth drooping with fear, his face flushed and he shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no! Definitely... No, never again, I won't endure it!"
There were so many "no"s in this sentence that Huo Tinglan curled his lips and said, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"No." Ye Ci denied subconsciously. They had been living in peace for a month. Huo Tinglan obviously had no feelings for him, but he still treated him as a gangster. That was too... He was afraid of chilling Huo Tinglan's heart, so he confessed anxiously, "You are a very good person, very upright... But I, I am used to sleeping alone."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Huo Tinglan a chance to speak, he grabbed the bag of medicine and fled.
It looked like there were gangsters chasing him.
As a hooligan, Huo Tinglan felt deeply apologetic, and at the same time, his heart was filled with emotion as he recalled the pair of little red ears hidden under the black hair.
He was driven away by just a few words.
He still has a lot of things to say that even he feels uncomfortable with.
—According to his observation, Ye Ci’s knowledge of omega physiology was almost non-existent.
Even the most careless omega would know nothing about the phenomenon of "cavitary growing pains", but Ye Ci was obviously a complete stranger. He had been in pain for three days and was still stupidly taking anti-inflammatory drugs. Omegas are constrained by objective factors and have the most problems to pay attention to in daily life. They don't know anything and are easily hurt.
Giving sex education lessons to the young lover in person... A few nasty thoughts flashed through Huo Tinglan's mind, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
He was delighted.
It’s a pity that Ye Ci would be so embarrassed that he would die, and he might even run away.
The eighteen-year-old Ye Ci was much softer than he was at twenty-two, but he loved pretending to be tough.
It's like a mimosa, with its thin and tough stem raised, upright and proud, thinking it is standing like a small tree. However, when you scratch it with your fingertips, it panics and curls up into a grass ball. If you scratch it repeatedly, I'm afraid the juice will be squeezed out of it.
Pityful.
But more often than not, they get bullied.
Huo Tinglan put his index finger into his collar, loosened his tie, his eyes dark.
When their relationship gets closer, Ye Ci trusts him more, is firmly tied to him, and can't leave him even for a moment... that will be all.
He can coax and bully at the same time.
