The moment Xu Xinghe ran into the hospital gate, his heart was still pounding, and there seemed to be light shining in his black eyes.
He slowed down his pace, but he walked a little nervously along the corridor of more than 30 meters.
When he was approaching the door of the VIP ward, a little pink dumpling suddenly jumped out and threw himself into his arms.
"Brother Xinghe!"
Lily hugged her beloved doll with one hand, and raised her other hand towards Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe caught the girl who was pounced on him, and felt that the girl was as light as a little butterfly, and seemed to have no weight.
"Good afternoon, Lily." He knelt down in front of her, reached out and touched the girl's head, his joy was beyond words, "What did you do today?"
"I read a book in my mother's room in the morning, and went to see Xiao Wei in the afternoon." Lily hugged the doll and said to Xu Xinghe.
"Xiao Wei?"
"It's her." Lily said, raising her hand and raising the faded doll in her arms, "Xiaowei is sick today, I have given her an injection and medicine." After speaking, she made an injection gesture, Then he asked again: "Brother Xinghe, what did you do today? When I went to find you in the morning, they said you were out."
"I..." Xu Xinghe was at a loss for words for a moment, and he made up a nonsense, "I'm going to take care of the cat."
"Cat?" Lily's eyes lit up when she heard there was a cat, "Brother Xinghe has a cat?"
Xu Xinghe nodded: "Nursed."
Lily continued to ask, "Is it sick?"
"Well..." Xu Xinghe said vaguely, "It's not feeling well recently, so it needs someone to take care of it, just like you need to take care of Xiaowei."
"That's it... We also raised a stray cat before, but it ran away later, and I don't know if it is doing well now." Lily said here, feeling a little depressed.
She raised her head and asked Xu Xinghe: "What does Brother Xinghe's cat look like? Can I have a look?"
Xu Xinghe smiled and said, "It's a milky white Braddor cat named Xiaoqi. It's cute and has a good temper. I can take you to meet it after a while."
"Okay!" Lily cheered after hearing this, blinking her big eyes, "Where does Xiao Qi live now? Is she seriously ill? Do you need to see a doctor?"
Xu Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not Xiaoqi who is sick."
Lily tilted her head: "You have two cats?"
"...Actually, the other one is not my own." Xu Xinghe touched the tip of his nose, and began to change the subject uncomfortably: "What did that cat you raised before look like?"
"Orange, with a few white circles on the body."
Lily was obviously still interested in Xu Xinghe's cat, and continued to ask: "It's not your cat, why did you take care of it?"
Xu Xinghe said without blushing, "Because I have love."
"Oh..." Lily nodded ignorantly, "Is Brother Xinghe planning to adopt it?"
"... I can't afford it."
"Is it expensive to keep a cat?"
"It's expensive to keep him."
"why?"
"..."
Xu Xinghe suddenly understood why it took a hundred sentences to cover a lie, but at this moment, looking at Lily's big bright eyes, he could only bite the bullet and continue to write: "Because this cat doesn't eat well, and the body They are relatively weak, and they will get sick every three to five times."
"Ah? That cat is so pitiful..." Lily blinked and asked again, "What does it look like?"
"It's a Persian cat with different eyes." Xu Xinghe felt that if he continued to edit it, he would not be able to get back, so he decided to end this topic, "Okay, let's not talk about cats for now. Let's go in and see mom, by the way There is another good news to tell you."
After finishing a sentence, his eyes lit up.
Xu Xinghe's so-called "good news" was told by Qin Yuan on the phone more than an hour ago—
Mother Xinghe's illness may be cured.
There is news from Capital Star that it is possible to try to use new technology to treat Xu's mother's cancer, but the person must be brought back to Capital Star for further examination and treatment.
Without further ado, in order to prevent the patient's body from deteriorating further, it is necessary to transfer as soon as possible.
Although Xu's mother's current physical condition is not suitable for interstellar travel, but things have reached such a point that everyone, including Xu's mother herself, is willing to take the last gamble.
A fish finds water in a dry place, and survives in a desperate situation.
The transfer was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, so Xu Xinghe naturally had to accompany his mother and younger sister on the spaceship. But here comes the problem, Ling Changfeng is still in the susceptible period, and may face the danger of losing control at any time.
Alpha in this state is like a ticking time bomb, obviously not suitable for leaving the quarantine area, let alone a long-term interstellar voyage.
However, is it necessary to leave Ling Changfeng alone on Planet Pelpa and wait for the susceptibility period to end? Or continue to overdose him with tranquilizers and depressants, as has happened many times over the years.
The former Ling Changfeng would not agree, and the latter Xu Xinghe was reluctant.
After several struggles, this question was strangely shelved. Ling Changfeng didn't take the initiative to offer to go back together, and Xu Xinghe didn't take the initiative to invite him to go back together.
Only Major General Qin, who was far away in the capital star, sighed and began to busy himself with arranging everything.
This cannot be called a problem for the aide-de-camp of the marshal who knows everything well, because he can see the eyes of his own chief, and he knows what choice he will make.
In the rest room of the hospital, Lily was packing her small suitcase.
Because people around her tacitly concealed her mother's real illness from her and told her that her mother would be fine, the five or six-year-old girl had always believed in this. When he heard that he was going to accompany his mother to see a doctor in Capital Star, he just happily went to pack his things.
"By the way, does brother know the good news? Will he go with us?"
While arranging her books, Lili raised her head and asked Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, only then did he realize that the "brother" Lily was talking about was his younger brother who had never been masked.
"Captain Lewis seems to have sent someone to look for him... Lily, can you contact him? Why don't you just call your brother and tell him to come back."
Lily shook her head, her small mouth narrowed slightly: "I sent a text message to my brother yesterday using my mother's communicator, but he hasn't replied to me..." Lili was a little worried when she said this, and she wrinkled her face Ask: "Brother, will something happen?"
Xu Xinghe stepped forward and touched the girl's head, comforting her: "No, don't worry."
"Brother Xinghe, are you still staying for dinner tonight?"
Xu Xinghe clapped his hands, nodded and said: "Well, I promised you yesterday that I will have dinner with you today."
Although he promised very straightforwardly, he couldn't help but think of a big cat in the quarantine area that needed to be comforted.
After leaving for less than an hour, Xu Xinghe could already imagine Ling Changfeng sulking when he was alone in the room.
Thinking of someone's outrageous behavior before leaving, Xu Xinghe's ears warmed up, and he stared at the green radish on the window sill in a daze...
When Xu Xinghe returned to Ling Changfeng's residence again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as his front foot stepped into the bedroom, a sharp and surging pheromone immediately enveloped him.
Xu Xinghe only felt his wrist tighten, and the next moment, he was directly pushed into the corner of the wall.
Xu Xinghe leaned his back against the wall, looked at the "colossus" bullying him, and said helplessly, "Don't make trouble."
This indifferent attitude made Alpha, who was in the susceptible period, squint his eyes in displeasure, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you say you'll be back soon?"
He suddenly became so unreasonable, Xu Xinghe was a little annoyed and funny: "I've only been away for a few hours? Add in the time for dinner and the round trip, isn't it too fast?"
As he spoke, he pushed Ling Changfeng away, and casually hung his half-taken off coat on the hanger at the door.
The seemingly strong Alpha didn't really use his strength, and was pushed away by him.
It's just that his eyes are still firmly locked on Xu Xinghe, and the different pupils are shining with a different sharpness from before.
The well-cut white shirt under the coat covered the young man's wide shoulders and narrow hips, which made him look a little thin, but his muscles were faintly visible, and his fit figure was exposed in front of Ling Changfeng's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Marshal Ling moved his Adam's apple slightly, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Of course he knew that Xu Xinghe was concerned about his family and had a legitimate reason to leave, but emotionally he still couldn't bear the separation of just a few hours.
For the past few hours, he had missed the scent of flowers on the man crazily.
I miss that kiss before parting...
He instinctively wanted to keep his little mate close by and never leave him.
When Xu Xinghe turned around, he bumped into the pair of eyes that seemed to be eating people, and his scalp went numb.
So he turned back silently: "I'm going to get a glass of water..."
Before the words fell, someone grabbed his wrist again.
Xu Xinghe was dragged so that he staggered and slammed into someone's chest.
Ling Changfeng's hot breath sprayed on his neck, but his voice was still low: "Didn't someone tell you not to turn your back on an Alpha in the susceptible period?"
Xu Xinghe's body immediately tensed up.
When he said this, the small piece of skin on the back of his neck suddenly felt electrified.
For a while, he turned his back to Ling Changfeng, and neither did he face him. He hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Ling Changfeng: "..."
Xu Xinghe turned around, facing Ling Changfeng but didn't look at him, his eyes were a little evasive: "It happens that I'm not very full from dinner, so let's have a supper with you..."
Under the bright moonlight, the young man's skin was coated with a layer of shimmer, as white and translucent as the finest suet jade.
"I'm not hungry." Marshal Ling looked at the beautiful and delicious little spouse in front of him, his voice lowered.
He suddenly lowered his head and approached Xu Xinghe, causing the latter to shrink back in fright: "Come again?!"
Ling Changfeng looked at him without further movement, but lowered his eyes calmly: "Tomorrow afternoon..."
At this moment, the communicator on Xu Xinghe's left wrist rang again untimely.
Xu Xinghe looked down and saw that it was actually Captain Lewis calling.
Just as he was about to connect, his left hand was held down.
Marshal Ling squinted his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with his subordinates interrupting their conversation one after another.
Seeing this, Xu Xinghe reached out and patted the big cat's paw helplessly: "Captain Lewis is calling, it may be about my younger brother, let me answer it first."
Only then did Ling Changfeng reluctantly let go, and watched Xu Xinghe press the answer button without saying a word.
Xu Xinghe guessed right, Captain Lewis really called because of this matter.
It turned out that he was in vain when he went to pick up someone from the school. After a search, he found out that Xu Xinghe's fifteen-year-old brother was once again sent to the juvenile detention center because of a fight, and he is still locked up there.
So Captain Lewis changed the direction and went directly to the juvenile management office, and called Xu Xinghe on the way to inform him of the matter.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
In an instant, the image of an aggressive little bully appeared in his mind, and suddenly one head and two big.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xinghe thought about it, and was still a little worried about his brother who had never been masked, so he sighed and said to Ling Changfeng with a little apology: "I'm sorry, something happened to my brother, I want to go and see."
Ling Changfeng was naturally unwilling to leave when he had just returned.
But this time, he nodded directly, and then said lightly: "Together."
Xu Xinghe was stunned: "Huh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Marshal Ling was already arranging his clothes.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He observed Ling Changfeng vigilantly and suspiciously, and saw that the latter put away his aggressive and possessive eyes, and stood there firmly, with neat movements and loose posture, as if he had returned to his usual A calm and indifferent look.
The red blood has faded from the pair of different pupils, but his pheromone can't fool anyone.
Still frantic and irritable.
Xu Xinghe asked worriedly: "Is it really okay for you to go out like this now? What if something happens outside..."
"Make a bet—" Marshal Ling looked at himself in the mirror, interrupting Xu Xinghe's words.
Xu Xinghe was taken aback: "What?"
"I can control my emotions now." Ling Changfeng said without looking sideways, "If I don't have an attack this time when I go out, then I will go back to Capital Star with you tomorrow afternoon."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
After making a big circle, it turned out that he was afraid that he would leave him and go back alone
Xu Xinghe wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't let go, and deliberately teased him: "Why, Marshal Ling also knows that he should honestly stay in the quarantine area during his susceptibility period?"
Ling Changfeng paused, and turned his Youyou gaze.
Xu Xinghe smiled and extended his hand to him: "I promise you. Let's go and have a look together."
