Strawberry Pops

On the way, the taxi driver turned on a gossip show.

The two hosts of the radio station were talking about a piece of gossip in the entertainment industry in a relaxed tone. They were talking about a popular Alpha artist and a Beta artist who had received their licenses.

The male host said exaggeratedly: "I didn't expect that in the past two years, more and more Alpha artists and Beta artists have obtained certifications, completely subverting the previous situation! Has the era when pheromones and compatibility are everything have passed?"

The hostess answered: "Leaving aside pheromones, excellent people, no matter what gender they are, just stand together and enjoy themselves. Anyway, as the audience, we can only feast our eyes!"

The male host joked: "My Omega is envious of Beta. They don't have special periods and pheromone troubles. They are really popular in the entertainment industry."

The more Gu Nuan listened, the more upset she became, and she said to the driver: "Master, please change to a serious station."

The driver changed the station, it was a serious news station.

The host is broadcasting in a square tone: "The recent marriage registration data shows that many Alphas have chosen to marry Betas. The new drug developed by Gu's Group is just for many Alphas and Omegas who are troubled by pheromones and symbols. Both offer freedom of choice...”

Gu Nuan said desperately, "Master, turn off the radio."

driver:"……"

"That sounds awful."

Sitting helplessly in the back seat, Gu Nuan opened He Yunchu's online profile in a bewildering manner, and at first glance, he saw that male Beta was written in the gender column.

Gu Nuan let out a long sigh and asked the driver: "Master, if you were Alpha, would you want to marry Beta?"

"If I were Alpha, of course I would look for Omega!"

The driver is a Beta, he is particularly envious of the mark and bond between Alpha and Omega.Unlike the Beta couple, they didn't have pheromones as a moderator when they quarreled.He and his wife had been in a cold war for three days, and neither of them gave in.

Gu Nuan was about to strongly agree, but the driver went on to say, "But Beta will have less worries. I heard that once Alpha and Omega have any spiritual marks, it will be really troublesome. I heard that some people don't see each other for a long time. When you see the other party, you will even be depressed! Hey, in today's society, career is the most important thing!"

Having said that, the driver is thankful that both he and his wife are Betas.

Gu Nuan assumed Han Yang's job and thought about it for a while, thinking that in the past six months, he and he had indeed spent less time getting together and more separation, so she couldn't help acquiescing to the driver's statement.

If Han Yang really wanted to be busy with his career, he really wouldn't consider finding an Omega... What's more, it was an Omega like his own that had gland problems and was often unstable.

He touched his senseless gland thoughtfully, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

The next day, Gu Nuan woke up early.

He went downstairs after washing and saw Ji Mu eating breakfast.

"Dad, where's father?"

"He's busy today, so he got up early to go to the company." Ji Mu asked Aunt Xu to toast a piece of toast for Gu Nuan and heat a cup of milk, "I'll go to the shopping mall in District C after get off work. Do you need to buy anything?"

"No."

"The new oatmeal from the bakery is good."

Aunt Xu brought over the toast and milk, and Gu Nuan absent-mindedly began to chew on it, saying vaguely, "You don't need to buy my share."

"Anything on your mind?"

Gu Nuan shook her head.

It is said that teenagers have a lot of things to worry about, and Ji Mu guessed that this worry probably has something to do with Han Yang.Yesterday, Gu Nuan went out early in the morning, and even went to the next city. Ji Mu knew with his toes that the child must be looking for Han Yang.

It stands to reason that it would be better for Ji Mu to intervene less in the affairs of young people, but it is not a solution to see this silly child of his family always depressed.

Ji Mu pretended to be casual and said, "Did you go to see Han Yang yesterday? He looks so good-looking, so he should be very popular there, right? Is anyone chasing him?"

"Patta" Gu Nuan didn't hold the toast firmly.

Ji Mu also had a "click" in his heart, and he guessed it right.

Gu Nuan picked up the toast again, stuffed it into her mouth, and said in disguise: "I don't know, I didn't ask him."

Season curtain: "..."

The two ate this morning with their own minds.

After a while, Ji Mu said, "We have to go to City D next month."

Gu Nuan looked up blankly with the toast in her mouth.

Ji Mu is in a good mood: "Didn't the old professor in City D who is very experienced in glandular treatment have been recuperating abroad? He finally returned to China this month, and I have already taken care of it. We can just go there when the time comes."

In fact, there have been no fewer than several such scene dialogues in the past four years.

Gu Nuan lowered her head, the toast in her mouth seemed to be hard to chew, dry and tasteless, wondering if Aunt Xu had overcooked it. "Dad." He put down the toast in his hand, bit his lip as if he didn't know how to speak, and glanced at Ji Mu nervously.

"I'm going to work in 10 minutes, so be straightforward." Ji Mu has always been straightforward.

"..."

"Xiao Nuan?"

Only then did Gu Nuan lower her eyes, and asked softly, "If it can't be cured, what should I do?"

Ji Mu didn't expect that Gu Nuan would ask this question, and even Gu Nuan himself didn't expect that he would ask it.Perhaps, the sentence "I don't want to be treated anymore" in his heart, he wanted to say it long ago.

And he had this idea, it didn't happen overnight, and it wasn't all because of He Yunchu and Han Yang.

At first, Gu Nuan was like them, hoping that he would get better soon.You don’t need to go to the hospital regularly for cumbersome treatments, such as painful glandular needles, and you don’t have to increase the number of blood-drawing needles on your arm one by one.

For four years, he suffered too much because of this gland.Every treatment, every pain reminds him of the pain of being oppressed by Xu Minghao with pheromones, and the despair when he was beaten and tortured by Han Yongnian...

In order not to make his family feel sad and worried about him, he pretended to forget about it and always put on an optimistic look.

Even when he was still lying on the hospital bed, he could obediently comfort his parents and say, "I don't feel any pain at all, so don't be so sad."

But at night, he would hide in the quilt and cry secretly.Tears wet the quilt, and the wet corner was pressed against his cheek. The painful touch still remains in his memory.

At that time, he was young and knew little, and he was worried about whether his gland was really broken, and it would never get better.If he doesn't have the pheromone, is he still an Omega?

He remembered that among his classmates, there was an Omega with uncoordinated pheromones, who was often used as a joke by other classmates.

Gu Nuan was afraid that she would be ridiculed by her classmates, would they stop playing with him?

Gu Nuan, who is only 14 years old, is really worried about many things, afraid of many things.

He cries every night, but he hides it well.

Only once, when he cried and raised his head, he saw Han Yang at the door of the ward.The moment the voice-activated light went out, Han Yang fell into the darkness completely.That was the first time Gu Nuan knew that her pain would double, triple, or even tenfold increase to Han Yang.

From that day on, Gu Nuan stopped crying at night, he forced himself to forget.

……

Now, under Ji Mu's gaze, he said slowly: "Dad, have you thought about this question?"

When the voice fell, Gu Nuan smiled wryly, an expression he had never had before.

It was also an expression Ji Mu had never seen before.

Ji Mu couldn't speak for a while, he looked at Gu Nuan blankly, when he caught the loneliness in Gu Nuan's eyes, Ji Mu subconsciously turned his head, his eyes were reddish.Under the dining table, Ji Mu's hands clenched each other, looking carefully, they were trembling slightly.

Gu Nuan noticed it, so he wanted to say the phrase "I don't want to be cured" a few times, but he swallowed it again and hid it whole.

During the four years, Gu Nuan didn't know how much Ji Mu and Gu Yuanchen worked, paid, and grieved for his glands.

During the long silence, both of them lost the mood to eat breakfast.

In the end, it was Gu Nuan who spoke first: "I just said it casually." After finishing speaking, he drank the milk in the glass and returned to his usual smile, "Dad, I'm full, let's go back to the room to play games first."

And three hours later, there was a knock on Gu Nuan's door.

Ji Mu didn't go to work, he opened the door and saw Gu Nuan sitting on the bed with his head drooping.

"Dad, why didn't you go to work?" Seeing Ji Mu coming in, Gu Nuan quickly cheered up.

Ji Mu approached, sat on the edge of Gu Nuan's bed, reached out and held Gu Nuan's shoulder: "Xiao Nuan."

"what happened?"

"I've thought about it carefully. I just talked to your father on the phone..." Ji Mu's eyes were the same as Gu Nuan's, with a touch of amber color, a gentleness that Gu Nuan had never been unfamiliar with, "We have the same thoughts."

Gu Nuan looked up at him in puzzlement.

Ji Mu exerted a little force on the palm of his hand, and said softly, "Xiao Nuan, the gland is a vital part of Omega's body. If it can be cured, I hope you can persevere."

His eye sockets were hot, and he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Gu Nuan didn't want to make Ji Mu sad, he wiped the moisture from the corners of Ji Mu's eyes at a loss: "I..."

Ji Mu pressed his hand, and rubbed it repeatedly in the palm of his hand: "This old professor really has a lot of research in this area, let's go again. If it still doesn't work...whether you want to be Omega or Beta, I will You and your father are on your side."

He clenched Gu Nuan's hand, wanting to use force, but afraid of hurting Gu Nuan.

Ji Mu whispered: "Are you okay?"

With a sore nose, Gu Nuan nodded, leaned over and hugged Ji Mu, her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, Dad."
