In Bai Li's memory, the family has always been only him and old man Bai, as well as the portraits of the previous family heads hanging on the walls of the old house.
This is a very aristocratic habit, but after Mr. Bai realized that he might only have one omega descendant, this habit was thrown out of the sky, and he didn't pick it up until Bai Li was taken into the Bai family.
Accompanying Bai Li growing up, apart from the noble banquets and the iron fist of Mr. Bai, there are only those strange family members' faces on the wall that will never change.
He has seen the image of old man Bai's partner, projected on the wall of the old man's bedroom with a virtual screen, it is a gentle and delicate omega, the image will always only say one sentence: "Take medicine on time, eat on time, I love you."
Bai Li felt that this sentence was turning over and over, and it was boring. Besides, Master Bai was accustomed to it. He puts that virtual image every day. He should eat and drink. , very disrespectful to the deceased.
Before Mr. Bai died, he was lying on the bed in the bedroom of the old house, his consciousness was muddled, and the image on the wall was still saying: "Take medicine on time, eat on time, I love you."
Old man Bai was delirious, but he still said something vaguely: "Me too." The rest of the words were very unclear, and Bai Li listened to him to hear clearly.
"I love you."
The myth of the military world stopped breathing on that bed. Bai Li walked over and turned off the virtual screen that hadn't been turned off since he remembered it. He felt in a trance that he had lost two loved ones.
Bai Li felt that the old man's sentence "I love you" before he left should still include him, but he didn't know if Bai Ying was included.
The warm light in the corridor reflected Mrs. Tang's face softly and beautifully, which was somewhat similar to the one on the virtual screen in Mr. Bai's bedroom in memory.
Mrs. Tang spoke, and her voice brought Bai Li back to reality from the distraction: "Li Li, how have you been recently... how have you been recently?"
"It's okay," Bai Li still had the smile of Young Master Bai on his face, and his voice was lukewarm, "What's the matter with you? I'm busy. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, Mrs. Tang, I'm in a hurry."
Mrs. Tang tasted the indecency in these words, and blushed immediately dyed half of her face: "I, I'm fine..."
"Alright." Bai Li wanted to leave.
Mrs. Tang was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "I just want to tell you that I had... something to do on the day you and Major General Lu got married, and I couldn't make it. I want to bless you, and I have someone to send a congratulatory gift to you , but returned."
"Well," Bai Li said lightly, "What you sent is the latest repairing solution for soaking."
"That's right," Mrs. Tang said happily, "I heard that one is very useful, and I have been worried about yours...but why did you return it?"
Bai Li stopped and glanced at her: "Because I'm allergic to most soaking methods."
Mrs. Tang froze in place, and after a few seconds, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't know..."
"It's okay," Bai Li smiled, "What can you know? You don't know anything."
He smiled casually, and the blood on Madam Tang's face faded little by little.
"I'm sorry," Madam Tang's lips moved, her voice was very low, "I'm sorry, I won't be like this in the future."
One of her hands unconsciously picked at the corner of her skirt, and she lowered her head not daring to look at Bai Li's face, but she refused to give in, unwilling to just walk away.
Bai Li felt that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous. They stood here as if there was really a deep affection between them.
He remembered that when he was just in elementary school, Bai Ying sneaked out from Tang's house, sprained her foot halfway, and limped and hid in a corner to watch him after school.
The driver was late, Bai Li stood at the school gate and waited for a long time, until finally Bai Ying couldn't help but slipped out from the corner, asked him why he didn't go home, asked him if he was tired from standing, and asked him what grade he was in. What class, what subjects do you like, what job do you want to do in the future.
Bai Ying thought that Bai Li didn't know her, so she blushed and said that she was a school teacher and she was just asking about the situation.Finally, he asked Bai Li again, asking if his grandfather had taken his medicine and eaten on time recently.
Bai Li couldn't remember how he answered, but he only remembered that he was the same as now, thinking that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous.
When the driver came, Bai Li got on the suspension car and waited for the car to go a certain distance before looking back.Bai Ying trotted for a few steps, her feet hurt, but she finally stopped.
Bai Ying has always been like this, she will stop when it hurts, she will burst into tears, and she is helpless to deal with any problems.
He never knew whether Bai Ying had secretly read Bai Li in the original book like this, nor did he know what kind of feelings Bai Li had for this mother in the book.
Bai Li always felt that his feelings for Bai Ying should tend to be indifferent, after all, he never wanted to have anything to do with this old woman who had the same background in the original book from the very beginning.But maybe it's because he is not the original Bai Li, so his behavior is different. As a result, in the details that cannot be covered by the plot, Bai Ying secretly approached him several times at the banquet.
At that time, Mr. Bai's health was not well enough. Bai Li took the title of the heir of the Bai family to attend the banquets of the nobles. After drinking too much wine, he was almost frightened by Bai Ying who slipped into the washroom of Alpha when he went to the toilet. Liberated on the spot.
Bai Ying was still the same, asking him how he was doing recently, and then asking how Mr. Bai was doing.
Maybe it was because he drank too much wine and couldn't control his emotions well, so Bai Li suddenly became angry and scolded harshly, telling Bai Ying not to mention old man Bai anymore, and stop playing this bitter drama.
Bai Ying didn't cry that time, she shrank her shoulders from being scolded, saying sorry over and over again.
After that day, Bai Li found himself angry with Bai Ying.
Anger, disappointment, incomprehension and a little bitterness.
Bai Li came back to his senses. He realized that he was always distracted today. He pressed his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll leave first if you have nothing else to do."
"Lili," Mrs. Tang grabbed Bai Li's arm, "don't be angry, I just want to ask you if you are in better health and whether you are happy after marriage. I wanted to see you when you were in the hospital. Yours, but I have something to do..."
"What's the matter with you?" Bai Li finally couldn't take it anymore, and turned to look at Bai Ying, "What's the matter with you, so that you can't go home when the old man dies?!"
He turned around too much, and pulled Bai Ying's hand forward, revealing a section of white arm under the cuff of the long-sleeved dress, and the blue-purple bruises on it.
Bai Li's gaze fell on it, and the half-smile expression on his face froze. A few seconds later, his "Master Bai" mask finally cracked, and anger filled his entire face.
Madam Tang withdrew her hand in panic, pulled her sleeves and took two steps back, trying to run away, but Bai Li grabbed her and pulled her sleeves away.
"He hit you again?" Bai Li looked at the bruised and bruised arm, and said softly, "He hit you again."
"It was an accident." Mrs. Tang said tremblingly, "Really, Lili, I'm fine."
Bai Li didn't say a word.
Mrs. Tang said again: "It's getting late, you should go to rest. Oh yes, say hello to Major General Lu and me, you are a good match, you should live happily."
There was noise in Bai Li's mind.
A mixture of rage, hatred and powerlessness filled his chest, attacking every nerve in him.He couldn't understand Bai Ying, he felt that Bai Ying was like a puddle of mud that could never be picked up.
Bai Li's lips moved: "You must..."
Mrs. Tang didn't hear clearly, this time she easily withdrew her arm from Bai Li's hand, but she was keenly aware of the fluctuation of the pheromone belonging to Bai Li.Although her body is a bit fragile, her mental strength is still quite good. She withstood the pressure and felt that Bai Li's state was not right, so she said tentatively: "Li Li, I'm really fine, don't worry, okay?"
In the next second, Bai Li's extremely angry roar sounded: "You must hang yourself on this tree Tang Xiao, right?!"
"How the hell can I say that you can grow your brains?" Bai Li's voice squeezed out of his chest uncontrollably, and he pulled back Mrs. Tang's arm, but he didn't dare to look at the skin under the cuff again, "I said that Fucking scum! I said you have to leave him, I will give you money, you can go wherever you want, how many times have I said that! Ah? Bai Ying, do you still know your name is Bai Ying? You Do you still know your father's surname is Bai?"
Madam Tang's eyes were filled with tears, she bit her lip and refused to speak.
"Do you know where the old man died? Have you ever thought about how he felt when he died without seeing you?" Bai Li asked for the first time after so many years, "If you choose this road, don't you Pretend to be a mother in front of me, okay?"
Maybe it was the last sentence that pierced Mrs. Tang's heart. She covered her face and finally raised her voice: "He said that my father is fine, and that the empire has new treatment methods. As long as I am obedient, in a few days I can go home and see him!"
Bai Li stood where he was, feeling like he had been poured with cold water.
"I've made up my mind. I want to apologize. I can do whatever I want, as long as my father lives well. I haven't had the face to see my father for so many years. I will definitely not make him angry when we meet this time..." Mrs. Tang said, "I'm sorry, sorry."
After a long time, Bai Li spoke with a hoarse voice: "The legs grow on your body, won't you come back by yourself?"
The vent just now seemed to take away Mrs. Tang's energy, she slowly shook her head, and whispered: "Li Li, you don't know, you don't even know how dependent omega will be on alpha after being repeatedly marked for life. Just smelling a little residual pheromone is enough for me to surrender."
surrender.
Bai Li closed his eyes.
If life-time marking is the stamp that Alpha puts on omega, then repeated life-time marking and injecting a large amount of pheromone into omega glands is a means to force omega to become addicted.
Over time, the surrender of the body will gradually penetrate into the bone marrow and become the surrender of the soul.
It's not that it can't be washed off, but the damage to the body will be greater and there will be certain sequelae.Mrs. Tang is no longer young, and her body is relatively weak. The canary-like life these years has already made her very weak. She is not sure if she can bear the pain of washing off the marks.
She is the kind of person who stops when she feels pain.
"It's actually not that bad," Mrs. Tang wiped away her tears. "Really, he will apologize, coax me, and buy me a lot of presents. He said he will always love me, and we are still very close." Have feelings."
Looking at her, Bai Li felt that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous.
He may have lived for a long time and really took himself seriously, thinking that he could pull Bai Ying out of the quagmire.
No one can pull Bai Ying out of the quagmire, she is living in a dream she has woven, and once she wakes up, she has to face unbearable facts.
Goldfish cannot go to the sea.
"You said you didn't come to the wedding because you had something to do," Bai Li asked hoarsely, and his voice calmed down, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Tang was silent for a while: "When I went to the hospital, I asked what to do if I was repeatedly marked for life. He was very angry."
He was so angry that she couldn't go out and see people for several days.
Not to mention Bai Li's wedding, a happy occasion, she felt happy just thinking about it.
Bai Li smiled coldly: "You call this 'emotion'."
Madam Tang lowered her eyes and said in a nasal voice, "I think so."
So boring.
Bai Li thought to himself, it's too boring.
"Let's go," Bai Li rubbed his forehead, "I'm... not in good shape today, maybe I drank a little too much."
Mrs. Tang wanted to ask about Bai Li's health, but when she saw Bai Li's frown, she held back and nodded slightly, but didn't leave, standing there hesitantly.
Bai Li asked: "Anything else?"
"Well," Mrs. Tang's eyes were still a little red, but she controlled her emotions, and said a little embarrassedly, "Major General Lu...he...Do you understand the injuries on his body?"
Bai Li put down his hand rubbing his forehead, half-closed his eyes and looked at her, trying to find some clues from her face.After a while, he said: "He didn't hide it from me."
Mrs. Tang breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together again, rubbed her thumbs together, and said softly, "I'm afraid you might misunderstand, since you know, then I have nothing to say." After a pause, she looked at Bai Li's face , thinking about it and then said, "Lili, Major General Lu's physical injury is not his fault, don't be unhappy, you two should be well."
There was a moment of silence in the corridor, and Bai Li's brows relaxed slightly.
"Well," he replied, "I know."
Mrs. Tang nodded. She didn't know the real condition of Lu Zhao's body. She just said, "However, you still have to persist in the treatment. You are the only one in the Bai family. You still need an heir—"
"You don't understand," Bai Li looked at her and said calmly, "I don't need a family, I just need a family."
Mrs. Tang stared at him blankly.
"Two people can also be a family," Bai Li said, "I just want him to be at ease."
The light in the corridor was a warm color. Madam Tang staggered a little when she walked. Her heels were so high that she almost sprained her foot again.
When she left completely, Bai Li was still standing there, surrounded by silence, he thought of Bai Ying's back when she left, her hair was pulled up high, her swan-like neck should have been exposed, but it was covered by the high-necked dress Strictly.
Bai Li thought, what does he actually know about Bai Ying?Maybe Bai Ying couldn't wear the necklace he gave Bai Ying.
He squatted down slowly in the warm light, feeling that he was pressed by something and couldn't breathe.
Someone came over and stood in front of him.
Bai Li raised his head upwards and saw Lu Zhao's face.
Lu Zhao still had that calm expression, with no extra emotions, only a pair of eyes, and when he looked at Bai Li, it would reflect Bai Li's outline.
Both of them didn't say a word, after a while, Bai Li smiled: "I was a little loud just now."
Lu Zhao looked at him: "Yes."
Bai Li asked: "Did you hear that?"
Lu Zhao said, "Yes."
Bai Li gave a "fuck" sound, "Did you hear that?"
"Well," Lu Zhao said calmly, "I overheard, sorry." Mainly because he couldn't hold back.
"Brother Major General, you don't mean to be sorry at all." Bai Li tilted his head to look at him for a while, and finally lowered his head again, "Oh, bad debt, damn it, I'm so annoying."
From the time he knew Bai Li to the present, it was the first time Lu Zhao heard such words from Bai Li.
Give up on yourself, helpless and powerless.It's not like Young Master Bai at all, Lu Zhao thought, but he still doesn't hate it.
Bai Li squatted on the ground, buried his head deeply, and Lu Zhao called out to him, "Bai Li."
There was no response, and he was too lazy to move.
Lu Zhao stood for a while, then squatted down, very close to Bai Li.He raised his hand and rubbed Bai Li's head: "Go back to your room, Bai Li."
Bai Li nodded, but still didn't move.He knew he should stand up and go back to his room, what's the matter with always squatting in the corridor like this?But he just couldn't get up.
He couldn't get up.
"Huahua, you don't know," Bai Li's voice sounded muffled, "She was raised by the old man's partner so obediently, so obediently, she did what the old man said, never refuted, obedient and well-behaved , unlike me, she didn't take the initiative to ask for anything, she lived in a world without wind and rain before she got married, and she regarded everyone as a good person."
Lu Zhao's heart was very blocked. He didn't have much memory of his mother, and he didn't know how Bai Li felt.But just seeing Bai Li like this made it hard to breathe.
"She was willful just once, just once." Bai Li's voice revealed a trace of repressed unwillingness and anger, "I can't stand her, and I can't help her either."
Lu Zhao stretched out his arms to hug Bai Li, rubbing his lips against his hair.Lu Zhao said, "Yes."
Bai Li smelled the faint smell of grass on his body, he closed his eyes, feeling that he was extremely tired today.
The elevator sounded as it was running, and someone got on.It's not too early, and people will leave the table one after another, going to the rooms on each floor to rest.
"Let's go back first," Bai Li stood up with his knees propped up, and smiled at Lu Zhao, "Go back and talk."
Lu Zhao pursed his lips, but without saying a word, he stood up and went back to their room together.
Although he had opened the door just now, Lu Zhao didn't go in. He couldn't control himself since he heard Bai Li's answer. He stood at the corner and listened.
Lu Zhao took out his personal terminal.
"I was a little out of control just now," Bai Li's voice was still slightly hoarse, "It's a shame, don't mind."
Lu Zhao knew that he was talking about the moment just now when Bai Li's pheromones were soaring due to emotional fluctuations, and Lu Zhao could feel it even after turning a corner.He shook his head: "It's okay, it's not serious, Madam Tang is not affected either."
The time was short, and Bai Li didn't show any aggressiveness. Lu Zhao hesitated at that time, but still didn't walk out of the corner to stop him.
After all, this is a matter between Bai Li and Bai Ying.
Bai Li lowered his eyes, watching Lu Zhao flexibly tap on the personal terminal, and the door opened.He said: "She has high mental strength, but she is not in good health. After the death of her partner, the old man asked her to exercise after returning to the main star, so she slowly adjusted it."
"En." Lu Zhao didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want Bai Li to speak alone, so he could only make monotonous syllables.
The two walked into the room, and the room provided for the couple to live together was very large, facing a huge transparent wall, where they could fall asleep in the galaxy.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the two stood at the door, silently looking at the universe outside the transparent wall.
The vast universe, small troubles, but people will always face these troubles.
In the dark, Bai Li said: "I have thought about what it would be like if I had children."
Lu Zhao's body trembled slightly: "I..."
"If my child is an omega, how can I teach him." Bai Li held his hand and said in a calm voice, "The old man gave Bai Ying protection, let her grow up carefree, and live a happy life." Many O who were arranged to be married and took on family communication work since childhood were relaxed and happy, but they failed to show her the wider world, know more people, and learn to take responsibility on her own."
Lu Zhao was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Most omegas are like this. I also took omega etiquette courses when I was in school to prepare for marriage. Many Os can get married directly after graduation."
The first time Bai Li heard him say this, he was a little surprised, and squeezed Lu Zhao's hand: "You finally chose to enter the military, and you also know that this choice will actually face many difficulties."
"My father passed away very early, and no one cares whether I get married or not." Lu Zhao said lightly, "I chose the difficulties myself."
Bai Li asked again: "If your parents were both present, and you grew up according to the traditional process of an omega, would you still choose this way?"
No one spoke.
If both of Lu Zhao's parents are present and his family is relatively well-off, then he will be arranged to attend traditional omega courses as soon as he is born, accept his gender, obey his circumstances, and obey secular management.
Of course, maybe he will still maintain this stubbornness in his bones, and he will still choose this path, which is not impossible.
There are always a few people in the world who are born to break through the frame.But those in the framework are, after all, the majority.
"I heard that she used to be very interested in the study of mechs," Bai Li said again, "There are books on this in her room, but after she differentiated the gender of omega, the old man's partner put those things away Yes. Omegas will be assigned to get married when they reach their age, and most of them will leave their jobs after marriage. It is more stable to find a husband and raise children. She has always heard people say that, and later she felt the same way."
Lu Zhao didn't know what to say, so he could only say "um", and shook Bai Li's hand soothingly.
Bai Li talked a lot today, and he brought up his own views and memories more than usual. Lu Zhao wanted to hear Bai Li say these things before, but it was not like this, nor is it this occasion.
He remembered what Mrs. Tang said before leaving, "You still need an heir".
Bai Li looked at a sea of stars and said: "When I first participated in the research and development of mechas, Situ proposed two plans. One was only for the development of alphas with physical defects, and the other was the current set of mechas that improve mental strength and connect to reduce mechas. A plan for the overall body connection requirements. The first set of plans has precedents, but it is not perfect, and the second set of plans needs to be explored from scratch, and it is not certain whether it will be successful."
At that time, the research institute had just started, and everything was still in a chaotic situation.
Lu Zhao turned his head to look at Bai Li. He had never heard Bai Li mention mecha research and development in this regard.
"When I saw the second plan, I was thinking, if there is a day, whether it is omega or bata, or even alpha," Bai Li's voice was very soft, and he recalled the choice that day, "If everyone can There are more choices, if children live in a world where they can make their own choices, be responsible for their own choices, and not regret it because of the outside world, can we live more comfortably."
There was a "click" in Lu Zhao's heart.
A drop of water falls on the heart, but it causes huge ripples.
Bai Li once made a choice, he chose the second plan.
At that time, their research institute was also known as the "Reemployment Base for the Disabled and Laid-off".
He still chose the second option.
Lu Zhao didn't know if Bai Li had regretted and shaken even in these years. He couldn't even understand how Bai Li had to endure the pain in his left leg when he walked down from the simulation cabin where the experiment failed again and again.
"I hope she has more choices when she picks up the book on mecha research, and I also hope that the boy from the Zhou family and Si Dong will not be influenced by others in their choices. I really, really hope that everyone The day when you have more choices." At the end of the day, Bai Li's voice was too low and deep, and his tone changed, "Lu Zhao, I hope you have more choices."
He held Lu Zhao's hand tightly, but still couldn't calm down the slight trembling.
"Go wherever you want, do whatever you want, I choose you, so respect any choice you make, and you won't regret it." Bai Li said, "Even if you don't have me in your choice."
Human beings choose different paths time and time again, and the world is woven by these paths.
Sometimes Lu Zhao felt that there were really too few choices before him, but when Guangnao jumped out of Baili's name during the matching, he clicked to accept.
That was his only choice back then, thank goodness.
Thank god damn it.
Lu Zhao kissed Bai Li, he couldn't say anything else, he could only kiss hard and fiercely.
Bai Li's response was equally frantic, the darkness obscured the vision of the two of them, they stumbled and fell on the bed, with Bai Li on the bottom, pulling Lu Zhao's neckline to lower his head.
As he was short of breath, Lu Zhao touched Bai Li's left leg with one hand, and he said hoarsely, "You are really fucking sick, you are already like this..." Who cares whether other people have a choice .
Bai Li wanted to answer, but Lu Zhao didn't give him a chance, so he kissed him again.
Lu Zhao felt that he was kissing a ball of light.
This group of light is dilapidated, sensitive and fragile, but it is still bright.
It would still fall upon him in darkness.
There may really be many choices in this world, but Baili will not have a second choice.
The silent kiss, the exchange of pheromones, the swelling emotions in this room where you can see the stars of the universe.
It was as if there was a fire that ignited each other, making people dizzy and brain blank.Lu Zhao felt the smell of chocolate from Bai Li's breath, making him fall into the light.Bai Li whispered in his ear, "Hush."
The hot air fluttered against the pinnae, bringing an inexplicable heartwarming temperature.Like that day in the dressing room at the training ground, the soothing cooing he made before marking him.
Lu Zhao couldn't see Bai Li's expression, he could only feel his hand reaching out to him.
They touch each other in the dark and in the universe.
Unable to think, exile one's own thoughts to fluctuate between breaths, share each other's body temperature and breath in the vast galaxy.
This is a very aristocratic habit, but after Mr. Bai realized that he might only have one omega descendant, this habit was thrown out of the sky, and he didn't pick it up until Bai Li was taken into the Bai family.
Accompanying Bai Li growing up, apart from the noble banquets and the iron fist of Mr. Bai, there are only those strange family members' faces on the wall that will never change.
He has seen the image of old man Bai's partner, projected on the wall of the old man's bedroom with a virtual screen, it is a gentle and delicate omega, the image will always only say one sentence: "Take medicine on time, eat on time, I love you."
Bai Li felt that this sentence was turning over and over, and it was boring. Besides, Master Bai was accustomed to it. He puts that virtual image every day. He should eat and drink. , very disrespectful to the deceased.
Before Mr. Bai died, he was lying on the bed in the bedroom of the old house, his consciousness was muddled, and the image on the wall was still saying: "Take medicine on time, eat on time, I love you."
Old man Bai was delirious, but he still said something vaguely: "Me too." The rest of the words were very unclear, and Bai Li listened to him to hear clearly.
"I love you."
The myth of the military world stopped breathing on that bed. Bai Li walked over and turned off the virtual screen that hadn't been turned off since he remembered it. He felt in a trance that he had lost two loved ones.
Bai Li felt that the old man's sentence "I love you" before he left should still include him, but he didn't know if Bai Ying was included.
The warm light in the corridor reflected Mrs. Tang's face softly and beautifully, which was somewhat similar to the one on the virtual screen in Mr. Bai's bedroom in memory.
Mrs. Tang spoke, and her voice brought Bai Li back to reality from the distraction: "Li Li, how have you been recently... how have you been recently?"
"It's okay," Bai Li still had the smile of Young Master Bai on his face, and his voice was lukewarm, "What's the matter with you? I'm busy. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, Mrs. Tang, I'm in a hurry."
Mrs. Tang tasted the indecency in these words, and blushed immediately dyed half of her face: "I, I'm fine..."
"Alright." Bai Li wanted to leave.
Mrs. Tang was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "I just want to tell you that I had... something to do on the day you and Major General Lu got married, and I couldn't make it. I want to bless you, and I have someone to send a congratulatory gift to you , but returned."
"Well," Bai Li said lightly, "What you sent is the latest repairing solution for soaking."
"That's right," Mrs. Tang said happily, "I heard that one is very useful, and I have been worried about yours...but why did you return it?"
Bai Li stopped and glanced at her: "Because I'm allergic to most soaking methods."
Mrs. Tang froze in place, and after a few seconds, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't know..."
"It's okay," Bai Li smiled, "What can you know? You don't know anything."
He smiled casually, and the blood on Madam Tang's face faded little by little.
"I'm sorry," Madam Tang's lips moved, her voice was very low, "I'm sorry, I won't be like this in the future."
One of her hands unconsciously picked at the corner of her skirt, and she lowered her head not daring to look at Bai Li's face, but she refused to give in, unwilling to just walk away.
Bai Li felt that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous. They stood here as if there was really a deep affection between them.
He remembered that when he was just in elementary school, Bai Ying sneaked out from Tang's house, sprained her foot halfway, and limped and hid in a corner to watch him after school.
The driver was late, Bai Li stood at the school gate and waited for a long time, until finally Bai Ying couldn't help but slipped out from the corner, asked him why he didn't go home, asked him if he was tired from standing, and asked him what grade he was in. What class, what subjects do you like, what job do you want to do in the future.
Bai Ying thought that Bai Li didn't know her, so she blushed and said that she was a school teacher and she was just asking about the situation.Finally, he asked Bai Li again, asking if his grandfather had taken his medicine and eaten on time recently.
Bai Li couldn't remember how he answered, but he only remembered that he was the same as now, thinking that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous.
When the driver came, Bai Li got on the suspension car and waited for the car to go a certain distance before looking back.Bai Ying trotted for a few steps, her feet hurt, but she finally stopped.
Bai Ying has always been like this, she will stop when it hurts, she will burst into tears, and she is helpless to deal with any problems.
He never knew whether Bai Ying had secretly read Bai Li in the original book like this, nor did he know what kind of feelings Bai Li had for this mother in the book.
Bai Li always felt that his feelings for Bai Ying should tend to be indifferent, after all, he never wanted to have anything to do with this old woman who had the same background in the original book from the very beginning.But maybe it's because he is not the original Bai Li, so his behavior is different. As a result, in the details that cannot be covered by the plot, Bai Ying secretly approached him several times at the banquet.
At that time, Mr. Bai's health was not well enough. Bai Li took the title of the heir of the Bai family to attend the banquets of the nobles. After drinking too much wine, he was almost frightened by Bai Ying who slipped into the washroom of Alpha when he went to the toilet. Liberated on the spot.
Bai Ying was still the same, asking him how he was doing recently, and then asking how Mr. Bai was doing.
Maybe it was because he drank too much wine and couldn't control his emotions well, so Bai Li suddenly became angry and scolded harshly, telling Bai Ying not to mention old man Bai anymore, and stop playing this bitter drama.
Bai Ying didn't cry that time, she shrank her shoulders from being scolded, saying sorry over and over again.
After that day, Bai Li found himself angry with Bai Ying.
Anger, disappointment, incomprehension and a little bitterness.
Bai Li came back to his senses. He realized that he was always distracted today. He pressed his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll leave first if you have nothing else to do."
"Lili," Mrs. Tang grabbed Bai Li's arm, "don't be angry, I just want to ask you if you are in better health and whether you are happy after marriage. I wanted to see you when you were in the hospital. Yours, but I have something to do..."
"What's the matter with you?" Bai Li finally couldn't take it anymore, and turned to look at Bai Ying, "What's the matter with you, so that you can't go home when the old man dies?!"
He turned around too much, and pulled Bai Ying's hand forward, revealing a section of white arm under the cuff of the long-sleeved dress, and the blue-purple bruises on it.
Bai Li's gaze fell on it, and the half-smile expression on his face froze. A few seconds later, his "Master Bai" mask finally cracked, and anger filled his entire face.
Madam Tang withdrew her hand in panic, pulled her sleeves and took two steps back, trying to run away, but Bai Li grabbed her and pulled her sleeves away.
"He hit you again?" Bai Li looked at the bruised and bruised arm, and said softly, "He hit you again."
"It was an accident." Mrs. Tang said tremblingly, "Really, Lili, I'm fine."
Bai Li didn't say a word.
Mrs. Tang said again: "It's getting late, you should go to rest. Oh yes, say hello to Major General Lu and me, you are a good match, you should live happily."
There was noise in Bai Li's mind.
A mixture of rage, hatred and powerlessness filled his chest, attacking every nerve in him.He couldn't understand Bai Ying, he felt that Bai Ying was like a puddle of mud that could never be picked up.
Bai Li's lips moved: "You must..."
Mrs. Tang didn't hear clearly, this time she easily withdrew her arm from Bai Li's hand, but she was keenly aware of the fluctuation of the pheromone belonging to Bai Li.Although her body is a bit fragile, her mental strength is still quite good. She withstood the pressure and felt that Bai Li's state was not right, so she said tentatively: "Li Li, I'm really fine, don't worry, okay?"
In the next second, Bai Li's extremely angry roar sounded: "You must hang yourself on this tree Tang Xiao, right?!"
"How the hell can I say that you can grow your brains?" Bai Li's voice squeezed out of his chest uncontrollably, and he pulled back Mrs. Tang's arm, but he didn't dare to look at the skin under the cuff again, "I said that Fucking scum! I said you have to leave him, I will give you money, you can go wherever you want, how many times have I said that! Ah? Bai Ying, do you still know your name is Bai Ying? You Do you still know your father's surname is Bai?"
Madam Tang's eyes were filled with tears, she bit her lip and refused to speak.
"Do you know where the old man died? Have you ever thought about how he felt when he died without seeing you?" Bai Li asked for the first time after so many years, "If you choose this road, don't you Pretend to be a mother in front of me, okay?"
Maybe it was the last sentence that pierced Mrs. Tang's heart. She covered her face and finally raised her voice: "He said that my father is fine, and that the empire has new treatment methods. As long as I am obedient, in a few days I can go home and see him!"
Bai Li stood where he was, feeling like he had been poured with cold water.
"I've made up my mind. I want to apologize. I can do whatever I want, as long as my father lives well. I haven't had the face to see my father for so many years. I will definitely not make him angry when we meet this time..." Mrs. Tang said, "I'm sorry, sorry."
After a long time, Bai Li spoke with a hoarse voice: "The legs grow on your body, won't you come back by yourself?"
The vent just now seemed to take away Mrs. Tang's energy, she slowly shook her head, and whispered: "Li Li, you don't know, you don't even know how dependent omega will be on alpha after being repeatedly marked for life. Just smelling a little residual pheromone is enough for me to surrender."
surrender.
Bai Li closed his eyes.
If life-time marking is the stamp that Alpha puts on omega, then repeated life-time marking and injecting a large amount of pheromone into omega glands is a means to force omega to become addicted.
Over time, the surrender of the body will gradually penetrate into the bone marrow and become the surrender of the soul.
It's not that it can't be washed off, but the damage to the body will be greater and there will be certain sequelae.Mrs. Tang is no longer young, and her body is relatively weak. The canary-like life these years has already made her very weak. She is not sure if she can bear the pain of washing off the marks.
She is the kind of person who stops when she feels pain.
"It's actually not that bad," Mrs. Tang wiped away her tears. "Really, he will apologize, coax me, and buy me a lot of presents. He said he will always love me, and we are still very close." Have feelings."
Looking at her, Bai Li felt that he and Bai Ying were both ridiculous.
He may have lived for a long time and really took himself seriously, thinking that he could pull Bai Ying out of the quagmire.
No one can pull Bai Ying out of the quagmire, she is living in a dream she has woven, and once she wakes up, she has to face unbearable facts.
Goldfish cannot go to the sea.
"You said you didn't come to the wedding because you had something to do," Bai Li asked hoarsely, and his voice calmed down, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Tang was silent for a while: "When I went to the hospital, I asked what to do if I was repeatedly marked for life. He was very angry."
He was so angry that she couldn't go out and see people for several days.
Not to mention Bai Li's wedding, a happy occasion, she felt happy just thinking about it.
Bai Li smiled coldly: "You call this 'emotion'."
Madam Tang lowered her eyes and said in a nasal voice, "I think so."
So boring.
Bai Li thought to himself, it's too boring.
"Let's go," Bai Li rubbed his forehead, "I'm... not in good shape today, maybe I drank a little too much."
Mrs. Tang wanted to ask about Bai Li's health, but when she saw Bai Li's frown, she held back and nodded slightly, but didn't leave, standing there hesitantly.
Bai Li asked: "Anything else?"
"Well," Mrs. Tang's eyes were still a little red, but she controlled her emotions, and said a little embarrassedly, "Major General Lu...he...Do you understand the injuries on his body?"
Bai Li put down his hand rubbing his forehead, half-closed his eyes and looked at her, trying to find some clues from her face.After a while, he said: "He didn't hide it from me."
Mrs. Tang breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together again, rubbed her thumbs together, and said softly, "I'm afraid you might misunderstand, since you know, then I have nothing to say." After a pause, she looked at Bai Li's face , thinking about it and then said, "Lili, Major General Lu's physical injury is not his fault, don't be unhappy, you two should be well."
There was a moment of silence in the corridor, and Bai Li's brows relaxed slightly.
"Well," he replied, "I know."
Mrs. Tang nodded. She didn't know the real condition of Lu Zhao's body. She just said, "However, you still have to persist in the treatment. You are the only one in the Bai family. You still need an heir—"
"You don't understand," Bai Li looked at her and said calmly, "I don't need a family, I just need a family."
Mrs. Tang stared at him blankly.
"Two people can also be a family," Bai Li said, "I just want him to be at ease."
The light in the corridor was a warm color. Madam Tang staggered a little when she walked. Her heels were so high that she almost sprained her foot again.
When she left completely, Bai Li was still standing there, surrounded by silence, he thought of Bai Ying's back when she left, her hair was pulled up high, her swan-like neck should have been exposed, but it was covered by the high-necked dress Strictly.
Bai Li thought, what does he actually know about Bai Ying?Maybe Bai Ying couldn't wear the necklace he gave Bai Ying.
He squatted down slowly in the warm light, feeling that he was pressed by something and couldn't breathe.
Someone came over and stood in front of him.
Bai Li raised his head upwards and saw Lu Zhao's face.
Lu Zhao still had that calm expression, with no extra emotions, only a pair of eyes, and when he looked at Bai Li, it would reflect Bai Li's outline.
Both of them didn't say a word, after a while, Bai Li smiled: "I was a little loud just now."
Lu Zhao looked at him: "Yes."
Bai Li asked: "Did you hear that?"
Lu Zhao said, "Yes."
Bai Li gave a "fuck" sound, "Did you hear that?"
"Well," Lu Zhao said calmly, "I overheard, sorry." Mainly because he couldn't hold back.
"Brother Major General, you don't mean to be sorry at all." Bai Li tilted his head to look at him for a while, and finally lowered his head again, "Oh, bad debt, damn it, I'm so annoying."
From the time he knew Bai Li to the present, it was the first time Lu Zhao heard such words from Bai Li.
Give up on yourself, helpless and powerless.It's not like Young Master Bai at all, Lu Zhao thought, but he still doesn't hate it.
Bai Li squatted on the ground, buried his head deeply, and Lu Zhao called out to him, "Bai Li."
There was no response, and he was too lazy to move.
Lu Zhao stood for a while, then squatted down, very close to Bai Li.He raised his hand and rubbed Bai Li's head: "Go back to your room, Bai Li."
Bai Li nodded, but still didn't move.He knew he should stand up and go back to his room, what's the matter with always squatting in the corridor like this?But he just couldn't get up.
He couldn't get up.
"Huahua, you don't know," Bai Li's voice sounded muffled, "She was raised by the old man's partner so obediently, so obediently, she did what the old man said, never refuted, obedient and well-behaved , unlike me, she didn't take the initiative to ask for anything, she lived in a world without wind and rain before she got married, and she regarded everyone as a good person."
Lu Zhao's heart was very blocked. He didn't have much memory of his mother, and he didn't know how Bai Li felt.But just seeing Bai Li like this made it hard to breathe.
"She was willful just once, just once." Bai Li's voice revealed a trace of repressed unwillingness and anger, "I can't stand her, and I can't help her either."
Lu Zhao stretched out his arms to hug Bai Li, rubbing his lips against his hair.Lu Zhao said, "Yes."
Bai Li smelled the faint smell of grass on his body, he closed his eyes, feeling that he was extremely tired today.
The elevator sounded as it was running, and someone got on.It's not too early, and people will leave the table one after another, going to the rooms on each floor to rest.
"Let's go back first," Bai Li stood up with his knees propped up, and smiled at Lu Zhao, "Go back and talk."
Lu Zhao pursed his lips, but without saying a word, he stood up and went back to their room together.
Although he had opened the door just now, Lu Zhao didn't go in. He couldn't control himself since he heard Bai Li's answer. He stood at the corner and listened.
Lu Zhao took out his personal terminal.
"I was a little out of control just now," Bai Li's voice was still slightly hoarse, "It's a shame, don't mind."
Lu Zhao knew that he was talking about the moment just now when Bai Li's pheromones were soaring due to emotional fluctuations, and Lu Zhao could feel it even after turning a corner.He shook his head: "It's okay, it's not serious, Madam Tang is not affected either."
The time was short, and Bai Li didn't show any aggressiveness. Lu Zhao hesitated at that time, but still didn't walk out of the corner to stop him.
After all, this is a matter between Bai Li and Bai Ying.
Bai Li lowered his eyes, watching Lu Zhao flexibly tap on the personal terminal, and the door opened.He said: "She has high mental strength, but she is not in good health. After the death of her partner, the old man asked her to exercise after returning to the main star, so she slowly adjusted it."
"En." Lu Zhao didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want Bai Li to speak alone, so he could only make monotonous syllables.
The two walked into the room, and the room provided for the couple to live together was very large, facing a huge transparent wall, where they could fall asleep in the galaxy.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the two stood at the door, silently looking at the universe outside the transparent wall.
The vast universe, small troubles, but people will always face these troubles.
In the dark, Bai Li said: "I have thought about what it would be like if I had children."
Lu Zhao's body trembled slightly: "I..."
"If my child is an omega, how can I teach him." Bai Li held his hand and said in a calm voice, "The old man gave Bai Ying protection, let her grow up carefree, and live a happy life." Many O who were arranged to be married and took on family communication work since childhood were relaxed and happy, but they failed to show her the wider world, know more people, and learn to take responsibility on her own."
Lu Zhao was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Most omegas are like this. I also took omega etiquette courses when I was in school to prepare for marriage. Many Os can get married directly after graduation."
The first time Bai Li heard him say this, he was a little surprised, and squeezed Lu Zhao's hand: "You finally chose to enter the military, and you also know that this choice will actually face many difficulties."
"My father passed away very early, and no one cares whether I get married or not." Lu Zhao said lightly, "I chose the difficulties myself."
Bai Li asked again: "If your parents were both present, and you grew up according to the traditional process of an omega, would you still choose this way?"
No one spoke.
If both of Lu Zhao's parents are present and his family is relatively well-off, then he will be arranged to attend traditional omega courses as soon as he is born, accept his gender, obey his circumstances, and obey secular management.
Of course, maybe he will still maintain this stubbornness in his bones, and he will still choose this path, which is not impossible.
There are always a few people in the world who are born to break through the frame.But those in the framework are, after all, the majority.
"I heard that she used to be very interested in the study of mechs," Bai Li said again, "There are books on this in her room, but after she differentiated the gender of omega, the old man's partner put those things away Yes. Omegas will be assigned to get married when they reach their age, and most of them will leave their jobs after marriage. It is more stable to find a husband and raise children. She has always heard people say that, and later she felt the same way."
Lu Zhao didn't know what to say, so he could only say "um", and shook Bai Li's hand soothingly.
Bai Li talked a lot today, and he brought up his own views and memories more than usual. Lu Zhao wanted to hear Bai Li say these things before, but it was not like this, nor is it this occasion.
He remembered what Mrs. Tang said before leaving, "You still need an heir".
Bai Li looked at a sea of stars and said: "When I first participated in the research and development of mechas, Situ proposed two plans. One was only for the development of alphas with physical defects, and the other was the current set of mechas that improve mental strength and connect to reduce mechas. A plan for the overall body connection requirements. The first set of plans has precedents, but it is not perfect, and the second set of plans needs to be explored from scratch, and it is not certain whether it will be successful."
At that time, the research institute had just started, and everything was still in a chaotic situation.
Lu Zhao turned his head to look at Bai Li. He had never heard Bai Li mention mecha research and development in this regard.
"When I saw the second plan, I was thinking, if there is a day, whether it is omega or bata, or even alpha," Bai Li's voice was very soft, and he recalled the choice that day, "If everyone can There are more choices, if children live in a world where they can make their own choices, be responsible for their own choices, and not regret it because of the outside world, can we live more comfortably."
There was a "click" in Lu Zhao's heart.
A drop of water falls on the heart, but it causes huge ripples.
Bai Li once made a choice, he chose the second plan.
At that time, their research institute was also known as the "Reemployment Base for the Disabled and Laid-off".
He still chose the second option.
Lu Zhao didn't know if Bai Li had regretted and shaken even in these years. He couldn't even understand how Bai Li had to endure the pain in his left leg when he walked down from the simulation cabin where the experiment failed again and again.
"I hope she has more choices when she picks up the book on mecha research, and I also hope that the boy from the Zhou family and Si Dong will not be influenced by others in their choices. I really, really hope that everyone The day when you have more choices." At the end of the day, Bai Li's voice was too low and deep, and his tone changed, "Lu Zhao, I hope you have more choices."
He held Lu Zhao's hand tightly, but still couldn't calm down the slight trembling.
"Go wherever you want, do whatever you want, I choose you, so respect any choice you make, and you won't regret it." Bai Li said, "Even if you don't have me in your choice."
Human beings choose different paths time and time again, and the world is woven by these paths.
Sometimes Lu Zhao felt that there were really too few choices before him, but when Guangnao jumped out of Baili's name during the matching, he clicked to accept.
That was his only choice back then, thank goodness.
Thank god damn it.
Lu Zhao kissed Bai Li, he couldn't say anything else, he could only kiss hard and fiercely.
Bai Li's response was equally frantic, the darkness obscured the vision of the two of them, they stumbled and fell on the bed, with Bai Li on the bottom, pulling Lu Zhao's neckline to lower his head.
As he was short of breath, Lu Zhao touched Bai Li's left leg with one hand, and he said hoarsely, "You are really fucking sick, you are already like this..." Who cares whether other people have a choice .
Bai Li wanted to answer, but Lu Zhao didn't give him a chance, so he kissed him again.
Lu Zhao felt that he was kissing a ball of light.
This group of light is dilapidated, sensitive and fragile, but it is still bright.
It would still fall upon him in darkness.
There may really be many choices in this world, but Baili will not have a second choice.
The silent kiss, the exchange of pheromones, the swelling emotions in this room where you can see the stars of the universe.
It was as if there was a fire that ignited each other, making people dizzy and brain blank.Lu Zhao felt the smell of chocolate from Bai Li's breath, making him fall into the light.Bai Li whispered in his ear, "Hush."
The hot air fluttered against the pinnae, bringing an inexplicable heartwarming temperature.Like that day in the dressing room at the training ground, the soothing cooing he made before marking him.
Lu Zhao couldn't see Bai Li's expression, he could only feel his hand reaching out to him.
They touch each other in the dark and in the universe.
Unable to think, exile one's own thoughts to fluctuate between breaths, share each other's body temperature and breath in the vast galaxy.
