The next wife's story

40

Director Tao has seen so many patients, but he rarely sees such an omega.

From the beginning to the end, this omega was very calm, as if the one who needed to remove the mark was not himself but someone else.

Most of the omega will indulge in this failed relationship and find it difficult to wake up. Oftentimes Director Tao needs to give them psychological support and strength more than diagnosis and treatment, but today is different.

Xia Tangqi has always been peaceful. He did not hide his failed marriage experience at all, and he did not show any resentment. He seemed to have walked out of this relationship, and he just needed the last help from medical technology.

"Excuse me, when can I arrange surgery?" Xia Tangqi lay in the resonance machine dedicated to gland examination, and could communicate with the doctor calmly, "How long will it take? I need to arrange the nearest surgery." Work."

"This depends on your specific situation before we can formulate a plan."

Director Tao carefully studied the development in the imager and frowned.

"Your situation is a bit complicated." Director Tao said, "Your operation may be more troublesome, but fortunately, you have not been finally marked by alpha success."

It was very strange.

41

Love is inherently unfair to omega.

After the omega is finally marked by alpha, once it loses the pheromone comfort of this alpha, it will be difficult to pass through the menstrual period safely. You can choose to live alone without relying on alpha, but even so, an omega that was finally marked by alpha cannot be marked by another alpha again.

No one can guarantee that an omega's marriage will be happy and happy, that's why there is a marker removal surgery - through the replacement of the glands, the omega has a chance to be born again.

Only then can he completely separate from the bad relationship in the past, and no longer fear being harassed and controlled by his ex.

As alphas that are not affected by changes in the endocrine cycle, the only constraint on them is that they cannot finally mark multiple omega.

After an alpha chooses to make a final mark on an omega, his final mark on any omega is invalid.The pheromones between AOs who have experienced invalid final labeling cannot affect each other. Sometimes both parties can’t even fully feel the pheromone taste of the other party. This kind of connection is not close. There is no need for gland replacement surgery at all. Cleaning of existing temporary markers will do the trick.

To exaggerate, if the omega that has been temporarily marked is finally marked by another alpha, the final mark can almost cover up the shallow temporary mark.

"So, what kind of surgery do I need in this situation?"

Xia Tangqi thought of that hard-working omega, and he actually wanted to thank Zaokang. If he hadn't been marked by Xi Dangye, what he had to face now would be the more difficult gland replacement surgery.

"To eliminate the temporary marks, we usually use minimally invasive positioning on the back of the neck, and then perform drug cleaning..." Director Tao's face was complicated, "But for you, I suggest you choose surgery to remove it... This requires hospital surgery, plus The recovery period is about a week or so."

Xia Tangqi was a little confused: "Am I special?"

"According to your inspection report, you once had a temporary mark removal operation." Director Tao frowned, "Don't you know?"

42

When Xia Tangqi walked to the gate of the hospital, he saw Bo Xiuqi waiting for him at the gate.

"Did you wait a long time?"

"No, I just came here." Bo Xiuqi took the case report in Xia Tangqi's hand, looked at Xia Tangqi's face and couldn't help asking, "What did the doctor say? When will you be admitted to the hospital? Do you want to buy something?" Get things ready."

Xia Tangqi looked up at Bo Xiuqi's face, his face was almost full of concern, which made Xia Tangqi's throat dry.

"Director Tao said he wanted me to come to the hospital next Monday, and the lawyer said that Xi Pangyi had already signed it, and he would be able to complete the divorce procedures for me this week, so I just brought the documents together..."

In order to protect the obviously disadvantaged omega group, when omega and alpha divorce, omega is not required to come forward, and can be represented by professional lawyers with full authority.

"I may have to take half a month of sick leave. I have to ask Mr. Bo to arrange for others to top up the few projects I have recently..."

"You don't need to call me for a job during non-working hours." Bo Xiuqi has not spoken to Xia Tangqi like this for many years. Ever since Xia Tangqi began to choose blind dates, began to fall in love, and then entered into marriage, Bo Xiuqi has restrained himself and returned to courtesy. She retreated far away, allowing the relationship between them to become increasingly estranged, "Tangtang, it's okay for you to cry now."

I have your back.

43

Xia Tangqi just froze in place, at this moment, he felt the blood all over his body rushing to his head, even his eye sockets were burning hot, and even his voice was trembling a little.

"What did you call me?"

He hadn't heard Bo Xiuqi call him that for many years, since childhood, only Bo Xiuqi called him "Tangtang".

Xia Tangqi's parents gave him the nickname Qiqi, and they have always called him Qiqi.But Bo Xiuqi's family also calls him Qiqi, and their nicknames are the same.But Bo Xiuqi is unwilling to call Xia Tangqi "Qiqi".

"You are also Qiqi, and I am also Qiqi. It's strange that Qiqi is called Qiqi." At that time, Bo Xiuqi was only twelve or thirteen years old. Qi became the same table.

Because they were neighbors, they always made an appointment to go home together. That day when they were walking on the road, Bo Xiuqi suddenly said: "I'll call you Tangtang, you look so sweet."

Xia Tangqi held the marshmallows he just bought on the street, not understanding why he looked so sweet: "If you want to eat, I'll give you half."

"Thank you Tangtang!"

Bo Xiuqi smiled and took the stick Xia Tangqi handed him, and shared the chubby cotton candy together.

From that day on, Xia Tangqi was Tangtang in Bo Xiuqi's mouth.

It's just that Xia Tangqi never thought that sugar would always melt.

Just like the ambiguous tenderness that Bo Xiuqi gave him, it was fleeting.

44

For so many years, it was the first time for Zaokang to see Xi Pangyi like this.

In his impression, Xi Dianyi has always been a gentle person, always working hard and working hard for a better future.

He still remembers that the day before Xi's senior high school entrance examination, he had a high fever while threshing millet in the rain. He couldn't stand up in the morning, but he still went to the examination room. Under the circumstances, he can still be admitted to the best high school in the town.

In fact, he never thought about being with Xi Pangyi. He knew what he was like. Although he was an omega, he was poor and old-fashioned. He was stupid and didn't go to school for a few days. Hard work all day and night can't make much money.

Xi Pang is different from him. Even when he was in the village, Xi Pang was the cleanest kid. He would clean himself up and look decent. When everyone else was having fun, he would grind his teeth and study. The brother Zhuzi he knew has always been so strong, but now, Zaokang doesn't understand him very well.

"Drink some water."

Zaokang looked at the person sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, and carefully poured him a glass of warm water.

"What to drink!"

Xi Pangye viciously overturned the glass, and it fell on the tea table with a harsh thumping sound.

His lungs were about to explode.

He never thought that after divorcing Xia Tangqi, he would almost leave the house completely.

In fact, it was normal, the house and the car belonged to the Xia family. He married Xia Tangqi naked, so he also left naked.

But Xi Dongyi couldn't figure it out.

Just a month ago, he was living a life of rich clothes and fine food, living in a high-end residential area and visiting international shopping malls, but in a blink of an eye he could only live in such a broken house of fifty or sixty square meters. Not half the size of the original.There are also noisy residents all around, coming and going in a chaotic manner, and there is not even a serious property.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. How can he get used to it?

Zaokang looked at the dripping water, didn't dare to make a sound, and silently found a rag to wipe it.

This rag was cut out of old clothes that were worn out before. He has always been frugal, but it was an eyesore to Xi Panye.

"Am I out of money? Why do you have to use this rag to wipe it!" Xi Pangyi grabbed the wet end of the cloth from Zaokang's hand and threw it into the trash can, "How could he do it!"

Zaokang looked down at the cloth in the trash can, and said in a low voice, "It was our fault in the first place, and it's normal for Mr. Xia to be angry..."

"What do you know!"

Xi Dian was still scolding him for no reason, but this omega who always swallowed his anger did not continue to remain silent.

"The money and the house are Mr. Xia's own. You can't take it for granted that you are the owner just because you have lived in it." Zaokang is always tolerant. I was trying to enlighten him, "Brother Zhuzi, it's not terrible to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you change, you will still be a good person. Let's live a solid life. After a few years of working and earning money, we can go back to the village to build a house. At that time, Xiao Gang was old enough to be able to study in the town, and the family still had ten acres of land, so we could grow some cucumbers and potatoes..."

"Planting and farming, do you have other things on your mind besides farming?"

Xi Pan jumped up in a panic, walked into the bedroom angrily, and slammed the door viciously.

Zaokang trembled at the sound of the door slamming, and went to the small bedroom in a hurry. Sure enough, his youngest son was awakened and was secretly wiping away his tears.

"Don't be afraid, Gangzi..." Zaokang patted the child to coax him, "Father is here."

The skinny monkey-like kid ate meat and drank milk during this time, and the yellow and black on his face faded a lot. He shrank into his father's arms and stretched out his thin arms. Kang's rough eyelids.

"Not... afraid." He clearly still had tears in his eyes, but he was desperately trying to be a little warrior, "Father is not afraid either."

Only then did Zaokang realize that he also shed tears. He was holding the child, feeling tired for the first time in so many years.

It turned out that someone wanted to protect him.

45

Xia Tangqi's surgery is scheduled for today.

He had gone through the admission procedures yesterday, completed the pre-operative examination, and was doing the final pre-operative confirmation.

He has no family members and no guardian, so he has to rely on himself at this time.

"Is it enough to sign here?"

"That's right." The doctor who performed the surgery said softly, "After signing, we can go in and start. Relax, this is just a minor operation, and signing the informed consent is just a process."

"I understand." Xia Tangqi thought that he was not frightened by the various emergencies written on it, but the trembling of his writing still revealed his nervousness.

The marking-removal surgery he was undergoing was only the slightest.

The doctor will put a probe under his skin through a minimally invasive incision to wash away the influence left by the previous alpha pheromone.

He doesn't need to replace the artificial glands, and he can be discharged from the hospital and live a normal life after only three days of recovery.

Xia Tangqi followed the nurse into the operating room in silence, and lay down on the operating bed. The anesthetic was inhaled into the lungs through the breathing mask, which also took away all his consciousness.

He seems to have had a dream, but also seems not to have.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the hospital bed in the observation room.

Apart from the cold medical equipment, there is only a digital clock hanging on the wall in front of him.

Xia Tangqi stared at the displayed date in a daze.

One year ago today was actually his wedding day.

So ironic.

46

"Hello nurse, I would like to ask when will the 16-bed patients come out of the observation room?"

"This needs to be arranged by the attending physician." The nurse has already been asked a headache by the handsome man in front of her. "It's been less than ten hours since the operation was over, and it will take at least 24 hours to return to the general ward."

"Okay, thank you."

Bo Xiuqi stood at the door of the observation room, knowing that he couldn't see anything, but he stretched his neck to look inside.

Xia Tangqi is doing this operation, he can't help at all, all he can do is guard.

Yesterday afternoon, he went to help Xia Tangqi pay for the pre-operative physical examination the day before. After a while, when he came back, Xia Tangqi followed the doctor into the operating room by himself.

He stood in the ward holding the sheet and looked at the empty hospital bed, as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

For a long time, he had hoped that Xia Tangqi would be well, happy, and have a warm family like he himself hoped.

Bo Xiuqi has long recognized that he is not Xia Tangqi's true son, he is not even a normal alpha, he cannot give any omega a complete love and marriage.

So he chose to restrain all his emotions, and even controlled himself not to care about who the alpha who gave Xia Tangqi happiness was.

As long as Xia Tangqi's life is going well, Bo Xiuqi is willing to be a knight for his Tangtang for the rest of his life, protecting this omega forever, and even protecting Xia Tangqi's future children.

But now he realizes his innocence, the other alphas don't cherish his treasure like he cherishes Xia Tangqi, instead they throw the crystal villain whom he held so dear to the ground heavily, smashing it to pieces, fighting hard Can't get up.

The hurting alpha is at ease, but the hurting omega has to endure physical pain.

Looking at the closed door of the observation room, Bo Xiuqi was so painful that he couldn't restrain himself from shaking.

When the person he loves is in the most pain, he can't even accompany him, he can only watch the other person suffer.

He was such a failure.

47

"Just tell me if you want to eat anything, I asked the doctor, there is nothing to avoid, just light."

Xia Tangqi didn't speak, just watched Bo Xiuqi walking around beside his hospital bed.

For a while, he twisted a handkerchief to wipe the tables, chairs and benches, and for a while, he poured hot water to wash his face, and for a while, he thought about getting some sick meals for him.

The only time Xia Tangqi went to visit was when a colleague who had just given birth to a baby saw this posture.

What they knew was that he had just undergone a marking removal operation, but what they didn't know thought that he had just given birth and was in confinement.

"You take a break, I'm fine."

Xia Tangqi's voice was still weak, after all, he had been stabbed, and no matter what, he would have to recover for a few days.

Bo Xiuqi felt even more sad when he heard that, his eyebrows and nose were almost pulled together, and when he looked at Xia Tangqi, the pain in his eyes was about to burst out.

"I have nothing to rest, you should rest well. I will go home in a while, my mother made soup for you, I will bring it to you, and bring two clothes by the way... I will guard you these days , don't be afraid."

Xia Tangqi didn't respond, but closed his eyes tiredly.Of course, if he wanted to rest, Bo Xiuqi would not affect him, so he packed his things lightly and left quietly.

Hearing the sound of the ward door closing, Xia Tangqi opened his eyes.

He stared at the pure white ceiling in a daze.

The alpha Bo Xiuqi is really annoying.

It hasn't changed in all these years.

48

Every omega fantasized about the romantic love that happened to him when he was young.

Xia Tangqi is no exception.

Although he never said it out loud, the relationship between him and Bo Xiuqi was very close for a while.

At that time, they were still studying, and they had been together day and night for six years in middle school, which added a touch of ambiguous sweetness to their classmate friendship.

They are always together, go to school together, go to class together, and go home together. People around have long regarded them as a couple.

Xia Tangqi and Bo Xiuqi never admitted it, but amidst those booing voices, they also tacitly never denied it.

Bo Xiuqi never once said he likes Xia Tangqi, and he always likes to deliberately bully and tease others.

But his likes are hidden in the rice that Xia Tangqi brought, in the schoolbag that Xia Tangqi carried, and behind the end of each of their conversations.

At least for a long time, Xia Tangqi thought that they would be together one day.

Who would know that his self-righteousness turned out to be self-indulgent.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

Xia Tangqi was lying on the hospital bed, and suddenly asked about what he had said to Bo Xiuqi that summer evening many years ago.

Bo Xiuqi paused his hands for peeling the fruit, and the long peel fell to the ground, he bent down to pick it up, and said with a smile.

"I treat you like a brother."

He said the same thing as before.

The darkness of that night hid his grief as his bowed head hid his tears.

49

"I don't need a brother."

Xia Tangqi was lying crookedly on the hospital bed, his face was still a little pale, and he didn't look very energetic.But his eyes are still very bright, always with light.

"Bo Xiuqi..." Xia Tangqi finally stopped calling him Boss Boss, "I have nothing to do here, and you have a lot of things to do, so you don't need to spend time here taking care of me."

When Bo Xiuqi heard this, he reacted greatly. He frowned and retorted: "How can I do that? Now is the time when you need someone, how can I leave you alone."

"Why do you always send me this kind of signal when I want to draw a line with you?" Xia Tangqi couldn't help showing a helpless smile. He couldn't understand that Bo Xiuqi had been treating him all this time. He has accepted the previous drifting away, and he is not used to the gentleness that has revived now. "I just said that I don't need a brother."

"I just want to care about you..."

What Xia Tangqi hated the most was Bo Xiuqi's ambiguous care and consideration.

"You pity me for being disabled?" Xia Tangqi couldn't help but ask back, "Do you think I'm miserable now, and I deserve to be alone?"

"I do not have!"

Bo Xiuqi didn't know that Xia Tangqi's surgery was just a basic marker removal surgery to remove temporary markers. When he heard Xia Tangqi say this, he felt angry and hurt, but he couldn't say a word of promise.

"Then I advise you to stay away from me now." "I am an omega who has just been hurt emotionally, and has just had an operation. I am very fragile physically and psychologically. If I am not careful, I will have a misplaced dependence on the people around me." .”

"Candy..."

Xia Tangqi interrupted Bo Xiuqi's indecision: "Half-hearted tenderness is the cruelest."

He looked at Bo Xiuqi, but the helpless resentment he once had was gone.

"Even if it's for your future lover, I think you should take responsibility to keep a distance from me."

If he can't get it all, he would rather reject it from the beginning.

50

Future lover?

Bo Xiuqi could only remain silent.

The omega he cared about was so rational that it was terrifying.

From before to now, Xia Tangqi has always forced himself to be strong like this.

Bo Xiuqi thought about it carefully, over the years Xia Tangqi has rarely even lost his composure.

Whether it was the death of his parents a few years ago, or the breakdown of his marriage this time, Xia Tangqi restrained himself so much that he even shed sporadic tears.

He is always trying to solve these difficult things, but he doesn't even leave himself a gap to vent his emotions.

Even at this moment, before he could change out of the hospital gown, he had already begun to draw a clear line with himself.

Bo Xiuqi looked at him.

Seeing the deep fragility in Xia Tang Qi Jiongjiong's eyes, he really wanted to tell this person how much he loved him.

But even if he could put this love into words, so what?

Bo Xiuqi felt that the air around him was being sucked dry by his endless bitterness.

He can't force Xia Tangqi to accept himself, and his self-esteem prevents him from telling the person he loves most about his flaws.

He didn't even dare to guess, if Xia Tangqi knew everything, would he feel sympathy or resentment towards him.

"I have always loved you very much, but I am sick. I am an alpha with erectile dysfunction. I may not be able to heal in my whole life, and I will not be able to give you complete happiness in my whole life."

In this way, Bo Xiuqi couldn't even say it in his dream.

He could only show his usual foolish smile, and then said to Xia Tangqi nonchalantly.

"Brothers are like siblings, of course you are more important than Tangtang."

sorry……

I can not do it.

51

"Brothers are like siblings, of course you are more important than Tangtang."

Although Xia Tangqi was very restrained, when he heard this sentence, the light in his eyes flickered for a moment.

He tried hard to tell himself that hearing Bo Xiuqi's answer was justified, but emotions are really difficult to control, even though he tried hard to think like this, his heart sank down heavily, until there was no light. into the dreary depths of the sea.

He is not a person who often misses the past, and a memory suddenly flashed in his mind at this time.

It was his high school graduation holiday. I still remember that he had planned a detailed graduation trip with Bo Xiuqi and a few friends. She was stranded due to the outbreak of her menstrual period.

He suddenly fell into a coma and even had to stay in the hospital for a long time because of it.

Baby, his parents watched and took care of him day and night in the hospital. It was a bit bitter but full of happiness.

What's annoying is that during his more than a month in the hospital, Bo Xiuqi never came to visit him even once, and even when he sent a message, he took a long time to reply.

He couldn't understand Bo Xiuqi's indifference, and after he was discharged from the hospital, he came to the door all night angrily.

He and Bo Xiuqi made an appointment at the swing in the community, and Bo Xiuqi arrived on time, but when Xia Tangqi began to complain that the other party hadn't come to visit him for so long, he shrugged nonchalantly.

"Oh, Tangtang, don't look like this, I haven't come to you for so long because of my lifelong event..."

Xia Tangqi asked him in a daze what was the important event in his life.

But Bo Xiuqi still didn't care.

"I'm going to meet the little beauty."

The sourness that night was much stronger than it is now, and he burst into tears almost instantly.

"Bo Xiuqi! What do you think of me!"

The still immature Xia Tangqi still has the courage to refuse to give up. He is still questioning how this alpha, who has always been ambiguous with him, thinks about their relationship.

Bo Xiuqi lowered his head, looked at the shadow on the ground, sat on the swing and told him.

"I treat you like a brother."

Xia Tangqi closed his eyes, shaking off these old memories.

He thought it was all over.

I don't know that I haven't forgotten.

52

Xia Tangqi started his sick leave.

He originally wanted to stay in the hospital for three or four days before leaving the hospital to go to work, but was rejected by Bo Xiuqi.

After recovering generally, he was transferred to the Omega Rehabilitation Department. The doctor gave him a comprehensive examination, and found that there were some minor problems in his body, and he needed to be recuperated.

Now that it's all right, he has to live here honestly.

Xia Tangqi received treatment in the hospital during the day, and was taken back to his parents' home by Bo Xiuqi in the evening.

After Mrs. Bo learned about his surgery, she was very distressed, and when Xia Tangqi's condition stabilized, she ordered her dog son to take Qi Baoer to live at home.

According to Mrs. Bo's words.

How can I live comfortably in the hospital? I still have to go home and sleep soundly to get better faster.

Xia Tangqi was able to draw a clear line with the gentle and gentle Bo Xiuqi, but he couldn't speak harsh words to Mrs. Bo who was protecting him sincerely.

There is still such an elder in the world who he loves in his heart, how can he be so determined to discard it?

No matter how strong and rational he is, he is not invincible.

------

"Qi Baoer is back!" Mrs. Bo smiled when she saw Xia Tangqi entering the door, but she didn't look at her son at all, "Come and have supper, I'll make Gastrodia elata, pigeon and wolfberry soup for you."

Bo Xiuqi was left behind, so he could only silently pack up the pockets that Xia Tangqi had brought back, which contained some clothes that Xia Tangqi had changed, and he took them to the laundry room for his aunt to tidy up.

Mrs. Bo went to the dinner table with Xia Tangqi.

Ask him if it tastes good for a while, and ask him how his body is recovering.

Xia Tang agreed repeatedly, and looked at Madam Bo and him, hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter, Aunt Tian? What's the matter?"

"It's okay, but Auntie wants to ask you, Qi Baoer..." Mrs. Bo covered the back of Xia Tangqi's hand in a bit of confusion, "Do you still want to find someone in the future? Auntie has some good alpha boys here, When you recover, do you want to see me?"

Xia Tangqi was stunned for a moment, when he raised his head, he happened to bump into Bao Xiuqi standing at the door with a stiff face, he lowered his eyes, took a sip of soup, and said.

"sure."

He didn't want to keep tussling with fools.

53

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Bo Xiuqi walked into the dining room with a stinky face, "TangTang has just had an operation and he hasn't recovered yet. How can he have the time to do such messy things."

"What's a mess about finding a partner? This is serious business." Mrs. Bo scoffed at her son's attitude, "There is an old saying that the best way to get out of a failed relationship is to start a new relationship. It was because of Qi Bao'er that he had the operation, so he needed someone to take care of him more carefully. Do you think it's you? The skin is rough and thick, and it doesn't hurt if you beat it casually. You and I can't control it, but we Qi Baoer can't stay single forever." Bo After Madam finished speaking, she put her hand on Xia Tangqi's shoulder, and added, "But Qi Baoer, you really need to be more careful this time, at worst, let's choose a few more places and pick a good one at that time."

"mom……"

"What are you shouting? It's not that I can't hear clearly. I'm asking for Qi Baoer's opinion, and I don't need your opinion."

"Aunt Tian." It was Xia Tangqi who broke the deadlock. He really didn't want to meddle in the quarrel between mother and child, so he got up and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room first."

Bo Xiuqi and Bo's mother naturally did not disagree. After watching Xia Tangqi leave, Mrs. Bo glared at her son and couldn't help but sigh.

"Look at your stingy look, you should go after it!"

Obviously reluctant, why pretend to be generous.

54

Xia Tangqi felt that since he became an adult, he seemed to have lost the strength to love someone with all his strength.

The reason I was with Xi Pang was just because I happened to meet this person at the point when he needed marriage. Although the process of getting along was unremarkable, I didn't find it annoying, and then we got together so naturally.

He even said that without Zaokang and the five-year-old child, Xia Tangqi thought that his short marriage might last forever.

Xi Dangyi needs to use him to cross classes and live a better life, and he himself needs a family to satisfy his spiritual needs.

To put it absurdly, such a marriage relationship with mutual plans is theoretically more stable than a marriage that is just dazzled by the gonadal hormones of love.

It's hard to be disappointed because there's no expectation.

Just like he would complain for a long time because of Bo Xiuqi's withdrawal, but he would not be too sad because of Xi Dangyi's betrayal.

But he's also matured a lot.

Back then, he would fall into the cold war because of Bo Xiuqi's words of being a good brother, and he could not get rid of his anger for four years in college.

But now that he heard such words of friendship that last forever, he can still face Bo Xiuqi politely. Even when he was invited by Bo's mother to stay at home, he happily agreed that he would not talk to Bo just because of need. Xiu Qi contacted and rejected the elder's kindness.

Love seems to have been buried in the soil of the world of mortals by him, and it has become a dispensable life adjustment.

In the late night when he couldn't sleep, he would occasionally think about the future.

Maybe he will live like this forever...

Maybe he'll meet someone suitable, start a family, get by...

Maybe, maybe, he thought about a lot of possibilities, but in every possibility,

——I dare not have the word Bo Xiuqi.

55

"Everything is recovering very well." Dr. Tao smiled while holding the report in his hand, "Congratulations, this should be your last visit to my clinic."

Xia Tangqi's postoperative recovery was very smooth. Since he did not remove the gland but simply eliminated the temporary marks, the damage he suffered was infinitely reduced overall. This is already a blessing in misfortune.

"It still depends on Director Tao's hard work..."

Xia Tangqi sincerely thanked the doctors for their dedication and help, but was told that in addition to their departments, there was also the company director of the Alpha Health Department as a bridge.

Upon learning of this, Xia Tangqi made a special trip to Director Lian's clinic to express his gratitude.

However, he didn't expect that Director Lian, who had learned of his intentions, would repeatedly reject this thank you, and instead asked him to do something with a smile.

"Thank you, I don't need it." Director Lian smiled softly, but his tone was very strong, "I still have to ask you to persuade this old patient, Bo Xiuqi, to come back for reexamination. He hasn't been to the hospital for almost two months. He The situation is special, and regular reexamination is necessary, so you have to take your body seriously."

Worrying.

56

Bo Xiuqi is sick.

Xia Tangqi was full of these words in his mind.

Even the doctor's words were pondered over and over again by him.

"Bo Xiuqi", "Old Patient", "Reexamination", "Special Circumstances".

Xia Tangqi quickly cleared his mind.

Bo Xiuqi has been suffering from an alpha health disease for a long time, and he is very familiar with the doctor, and the disease has not been cured until now and needs treatment and examination. He can almost conclude that Bo Xiuqi's condition will not be simple.

But Xia Tangqi didn't understand why Bo Xiuqi's illness had been kept hidden from him, and why he hadn't leaked any news for so many years.

Could Bo Xiuqi's illness be related to him?Could it have something to do with his unknowingly temporary marking?

"Qi Baoer, you're back, hurry up and wash your hands, and come to Auntie to have a look. These are photos of young alphas that Auntie knew. See if you can catch your eyes."

Xia Tangqi responded, changed his shoes, took off his coat, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

He watched the water from the faucet wash over his skin, washing away the thick foam, and looked up at himself in the mirror, expressionless with confusion.

He wiped his face, and the cold touch put on a smiling mask for him.

He went to Mrs. Bo's side as promised, and discussed with her the appearance conditions of these alphas.

"Auntie Tian knows so many alphas with such good qualifications, so there must be many excellent omegas." Xia Tangqi said with a sudden smile, "Xiu Qi is not young anymore, should he do both, and worry about him, so as not to Auntie, you only care about me, what can you do if you make him jealous."

"He...he, he has too much idea, I don't want to deal with him."

The momentary hesitation in Bo's mother's eyes fell into Xia Tangqi's observing eyes.

Xia Tangqi took a deep breath.

Bo Xiuqi's mother knew about Bo Xiuqi's illness, but he was kept in the dark by everyone.

This can only mean two things.

One is that Bo Xiuqi's illness is difficult to talk about, and the other is...
