you try to mark again

?? At the end of summer in this city, the sky is always dark very late.

??At 07:30 in the evening, as the last ray of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, one end of the commercial street was lit up with gorgeous and grand bright lights, but the other end became darker and darker. Like fireflies flying far away, one after another, they gradually disappeared into the dilapidated old district.

??Ji Qiao stepped on the roller blind with her foot, turned the key twice to lock the door, and walked home with Qiao Xiaoyan.

?? There is no fixed business hours, as long as it is dark to close, this is an unwritten rule of their small flower shop.

?? But no one has ever questioned anything.

?? After all, everyone in the Hongyu District knows that a beautiful and delicate Omega living here alone with her son is already enough to attract imagination, let alone if she has to go in and out of those dark and secluded places alone at night alley.

??The road home from here is called Beiyang Road. The road planning is not very good. The lead gray telephone poles and cement walls are full of various graffiti and small advertisements. Disorganized and disorganized, it fully exposed the haste of small vendors leaving in a hurry.

?? After walking for a while, there was a faint noise coming from the front, and the "commercial center" of Hongyu District had arrived.

??This vegetable market was rebuilt from an abandoned old factory. Rows of small square shops are next to each other, leaving only a narrow aisle for people to walk through.The smell of meat and fish is mixed, the bosses and stall owners are fighting for each other, and the shouting and shouting to attract customers has not stopped for a moment.

?? "Boss, how do you sell this?" Qiao Xiaoyan pointed to the meat in front of the cutting board with a shopping bag on her shoulders.

??The butcher shop owner with a white towel tied on his head didn't stop his movements. The sound of "bang bang bang" chopping meat was accompanied by his imposing answer: "40 yuan a catty."

"The price has increased again..." Qiao Xiaoyan muttered, trying to bargain, "Can it be cheaper? Can you sell it for 35 yuan?"

?? "Big girl, you are joking with me." The boss's face was full of disbelief, "Look at our meat, this leg, this big pig's trotter, it's only 40 yuan, it's too real, you can't even find the first Erjia. How about this, how about I give you 38 yuan a catty? No matter how cheap it is, there will be nothing!"

??A few minutes later, Qiao Xiaoyan raised the plastic bag in her hand with a smile, and her face was full of joy of successfully bargaining for 2 yuan: "I bought cheap meat today! Mom is amazing, right?"

?? Ji Qiao looked down at the plastic bag.

?? The inside is cut from the pork ribs, with fat and thin pork belly.In fact, the same grade of meat can be bought in another corner of the vegetable market. That place is remote and there are few people going there. He can successfully cut the price by a few dollars every time.

??And Ms. Qiao will always walk around the door when she buys things. When she sees something she wants to buy, she won’t move around to shop around. found a way.

??Her beautiful mother's character is like this, delicate and innocent, with a little confusion in her cuteness.She was so well protected by her family when she was a girl, and she was a young genius who devoted herself to pursuing her dream of dancing. In the years after marriage, she was held in the hands of her father all the time. long-lasting traits.

??But there is no need to change it, so Ji Qiao didn't say a word just now, but now she nodded and said: "Well, it's amazing."

??The dinner routine is meat and vegetables with two dishes and one soup. Ji Qiao washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Qiao Xiaoyan was sitting on the sofa under a thin blanket, stringing bracelets and beads while watching idol dramas.

??The little white dog "General" is wagging his tail at her feet.

??Walking over to turn down the power of the air-conditioning fan, Ji Qiao quietly reminded: "Too strong wind will make you catch a cold."

??He went to the TV again, and opened the first drawer of the cabinet, and inside was a silver-gray portable refrigerator.

??After opening, the water mist dispersed, and the sliding rails stretched automatically. Most of the fourteen grids on the two floors were empty, and a bottle of transparent medicine and a disposable syringe were placed in each of the remaining grids.

?? "The Chinese medicine to drink is ready." Ji Qiao reached out to take an empty space, turned around and walked towards the sofa, "Be careful these few days, you can drink it half an hour after the injection."

?? Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoyan's attention shifted, and she glanced up at the red circle on the wall calendar—today is August 8. If there is no accident, she will enter her estrus period tomorrow.

?? "I know, I know, you have to say this many times every month." Qiao Xiaoyan put down the bracelet and smiled, "Then I have to trouble Xiao Qiao's handsome son today."

?? After speaking, he rolled up the sleeve of his left arm.

?? There are only two people living in this small Tongzilou living room.

??Ji Qiao has no father, and Qiao Xiaoyan has no husband. The captain of the Alpha criminal police who has permanently marked her and owned her has passed away for five years, but Omega’s unique monthly estrus period has not gone with it. Lurking in that gland at the back of her neck.

?? Physiological impulses are difficult to restrain themselves, and can only be overcome by external force and frequent injections of inhibitors.

?? After skillfully drawing the medicine from the glass bottle, Ji Qiao flicked the syringe twice with his index finger and found the thin vein.

??His hand was very steady, as he had done thousands of times in the past, he slowly advanced the injection in one go, and even when he drew the needle, he did not bring out any drops of medicine or blood.

?? However, no matter how skillful and cautious he was, Qiao Xiaoyan would still inevitably have a short-term dizzy reaction after taking the medicine, her lips turned white, and her fingers trembled slightly.

?? The medicine is three-point poisonous. Even with Chinese medicine for conditioning, years of injections still drag her body down.On the thin and white arms, the traces of pinholes remained, and they were often bruised and purple.

??"or--"

?? After a few seconds of silence, Ji Qiao suddenly made a sound.

??Qiao Xiaoyan was taken aback, and opened her eyes: "What?"

?? Ji Qiao frowned, and curled up her fingers hanging by her side: "I said, why not go to the hospital."

?? As soon as the words came out, the two fell into silence for a while.

??Although this is all there is to say, they both know what Ji Qiao really wants to say——

?? Or go to the hospital to remove the gland.

??Omega removes the glands, completely loses the ability to secrete pheromones, and will no longer be tortured by estrus.

"It's just Dad's mark..." Ji Qiao stared at the foot of the coffee table, pursed her lips, and just when she was about to speak again, Qiao Xiaoyan suddenly raised her right hand and patted his crotch twice. temple.

?? Ji Qiao looked over: "Huh?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you worry about so many things every day, little Qiao, I want to see if you have gray hair."

?? "..."

"Okay, okay." Qiao Xiaoyan took advantage of the situation and vigorously ruffled his hair. When she smiled, she couldn't see a trace of haze on her face: "That's what the most handsome guy in the universe left for me. Tell me about those hospitals. The little nurses here are all jealous, so I won't show off."

?? Show off?

?? Ji Qiao was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, staring at the moonlight leaking from the corner of the window, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the noise of walking outside was faint, and it was another night in a trance.

??As usual, he spends his weekends in a part-time job. He has long feet in his busy time, and it is Monday again in a blink of an eye.

??In the first week of school, the students generally have not been able to get out of the state of "eating as soon as they open their eyes, and playing with their mobile phones as soon as they reach out", so that there are so many people who come to the classroom to make up homework this day There are many, and the pen is flying like flying while crying and howling.

??Cheng Yu completed the last English composition, raised his hand to hand over the homework, and took a long breath with his whole body on Ji Qiao's desk: "Four English papers, Sister Mei is really cruel and merciless in arranging homework. Do you know if you go back to school today?"

"I'm back." Ji Qiao kept writing, turning over the test paper with her left hand, "I saw her drive in."

?? "...Mom." Cheng Yu's face collapsed in an instant, "Then I will definitely comment on the test papers later?!... No, before the storm comes, I have to go to the cafeteria to replenish some energy."

?? "Brother Qiao, do you want it?"

"Just...water." Ji Qiao said, "Thanks."

?? After Cheng Yu left, Ji Qiao was the only one left at the surrounding tables. He stretched out his hand and opened some windows to let the morning breeze in.

?? Probably because no one spoke, and all the minds were concentrated on the writing homework. The rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper became very obvious in the ears, like some kind of strange variation.

"Morning."

?? A voice suddenly fell from the side.

??The variation came to an abrupt end, and Ji Qiao subconsciously tilted her head.

??He is at the same table.

??Jiang Xiao put on the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School today, was unloading his schoolbag, opened the chair with one hand and sat down, as if saying hello casually.

?? At this moment, he only left half of Ji Qiao's heavily contoured side face, with long black eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and a particularly beautiful line from the chin to the Adam's apple.She has the sharpness of an adult at the beginning, but still remains green.

??The simple combination of black and white doesn't make Jiang Xiao look refined at all, but instead magnifies his extraordinarily loose temperament.But the most eye-catching thing is a glandular patch on the back of the neck.

??——white characters on a black background, with a big "X" written on it.

?? Is glandular stickers.

??Compared with blockers, glandular patches have a better effect on pheromone isolation and last longer, but they are not as popular as blockers in the market. Firstly, the cost is higher, and secondly, because After all, the gland stickers have to be in close contact with the glands for a long time. If one is not careful, improperly used or replaced in time, it is easy to cause damage to the glands.

?? And the other party suddenly used glandular stickers......

??Ji Qiao lightly pressed the slightly hard casing of the fountain pen in her hand with her fingertips, and quickly looked away.

?? After a few seconds, he didn't turn his head, just said: "Morning."

??Morning reading in No. [-] Middle School has always been divided according to odd and even numbers. In summer, English is [-], [-], [-], and Chinese is [-], [-]. In winter, it is reversed.

??The representative of the English class who led the reading was a boy with a loud voice. Not long after he stood on the podium, a series of "tuk-tuk-tuk" footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, which was the unique sound of stilettos hitting the floor.

"Damn it, Sister Mei!" the boy by the window in the first row shouted.

??The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then there was the sound of various test papers and books being put into the belly of the table, and there was a rush of hands and feet. Only things related to English were left on the desks of everyone.

??A young and tall woman walked in through the front door with a lesson plan in her arms. After standing still, she pushed the blackboard behind her back. She spoke quickly: "Today, I requisitioned my English for morning reading. I made up for the lessons that I missed during my business trip two days ago. Do you have any comments?"

?? The podium was as quiet as a chicken, and no one dared to have an opinion.

?? "Sister Mei" is the English teacher in their class. Her full name is Tang Xiaomei.

??A female Alpha in her early thirties, with a vigorous temper, exuding an aura of "when Xiaomei comes out, who will fight for the front".

?? It is said that once a few years ago, the class key she brought was stuck in the door. It took at least half an hour for the master lock picker to arrive. Seeing that the time of the students in the [-]s would be delayed, this lady said nothing. Said to put on sneakers, and kicked at the security door of the classroom.

??The door "clicked—" opened, and my jaw dropped in shock.

??Since then, Tang Xiaomei topped the list of "Worst Provoking Female Teachers" in No. [-] Middle School Post Bar, and the title of "Sister Mei" has spread.

??On the two days when the results of the preliminary examination were announced, Tang Xiaomei temporarily went to a neighboring province to attend an English teaching and research meeting.

?? Someone in the classroom let out a long sigh.

?? "Why are you still sighing?"

?? Tang Xiaomei stared: "I just saw the results in the office, and I almost gave 120 to the ambulance to take me away! The full score is 150, and the average score of our class is only in the early 110s... Please , children, this is only the content of the first year of high school. If the second and third year of high school come together in the future, won't you guys fall below the passing line?! I invite my cat master to press a few stamps on the answer sheet and say It may be higher than some of your classmates..."

??After ten minutes of crackling and indiscriminate shooting, Tang Xiaomei had enough training, she shook the sample paper in her hand: "Okay, I don't care about you in the first year of senior high school, and you can't chase the past, but starting today, every day Every class has to—”

?? Having said that, her movements suddenly stopped, and her gaze fell to the last row: "Ji Qiao."

?? The roll call at this time is really scary.

??The whole class was silent, turning their heads and looking back in unison.

??Be reasonable, be afraid, be afraid, talk behind your back, these days, the students in Class [-] sometimes really admire Ji Qiao.

??This buddy is a scumbag and never studies, but his psychological quality is really strong. No matter what time he is emotionally stable, he has an indifferent face and is completely unafraid of all kinds of name-calling and criticism.

??Ji Qiao moved the stool with countless gazes, and was about to stand up, when she heard Tang Xiaomei drop a few words: "——'s deskmate is a new student?"

??Student Ji who was named: "...?"

?? The people in Class Ten: "...?"

??The turning point came unexpectedly. After looking at each other for a few seconds, someone uncontrollably made a "puchi", and then the whole class burst into laughter.

"...Quiet, what are you laughing at?" Tang Xiaomei probably felt that she couldn't hold back, she patted the table twice to rectify discipline, and then continued to ask pretending to be innocent: "What's the name of the new classmate? "

?? "Jiang Xiao."

??The voice of a boy who is in the period of voice change is always low and hoarse, and this time it seems to be mixed with a little smile. Ji Qiao rubbed his ears and moved the stool back very speechlessly.

?? He has already discovered that he and the transfer student don't quite fit together.

?? But sometimes, life is so wonderful.

?? To be more precise, it is a good spirit that does not work and a bad spirit.

?? The moment this idea just popped up, it was immediately confirmed by Tang Xiaomei's next sentence: "Okay, student Jiang, I know you didn't take the test, so when you talk about the topic in class, you will talk to Ji Qiao Read the test papers together, supervise each other, and listen carefully."

??Ji Qiao: "...?!"
