PLTRSC Chapter 20

It was already very late when Lu Yinghuai finished his phone call. He tiptoed to the door of the master bedroom.

Now it was almost certain that his pheromones would not get out of control again, and he didn’t have to go back to that special room.

He was afraid of waking Jiang Tang up, so he didn’t dare open the door and stayed outside all night.

S-class Alphas have much more energy than ordinary people, so not sleeping for a few days was not a big problem.

Lu Yinghuai thought about many things throughout the night, from the first time he met Jiang Tang in his previous life, to all the details he could remember later, to the smile Jiang Tang showed dying in his arms.

That was the only time in his two lifetimes that he saw Jiang Tang smile. His smile was so beautiful and dazzling, nothing in the world could compare to it. But Lu Yinghuai only had it for one second.

He thought about it and finally came to a conclusion – he was not good enough to Jiang Tang.

It was not enough before. It was still not enough now.

He asked himself if his feelings for Jiang Tang were just guilt and indebtedness. He liked Jiang Tang. He liked him very much. He had always been the best among his peers, but no one had taught him what love was.

Everyone assumed that S-level alphas didn’t need emotions.

They could conquer the world, so there was no need to conquer a little Omega.

Lu Yinghuai thought the same in his previous life. He was always working and rarely went home. He made a lot of contributions to the country and participated in military rescue operations. He saved countless people. The elderly, children, Alpha, Beta, Omega.

He was worthy of everyone except Jiang Tang.

He saved so many people, but he didn’t save Jiang Tang.

So many Omegas said they loved him, but Jiang Tang was the only one who didn’t say a word but stood by him when he was deserted by everyone.

He was really not a human. In his eyes, Jiang Tang was so small and fragile, but he had the most powerful soul in the world.

In this life, Lu Yinghuai wanted nothing else, Jiang Tang came first in everything. Of course, he couldn’t stop working, he had to make money and then let Jiang Tang have the freedom to do whatever he wanted.

When Jiang Tang woke up, Lu Yinghuai was already dressed: “Tang Tang, breakfast is on the table, I just left the bowl on the table. I have to go out for a while and will be back soon.”

Jiang Tang nodded blankly and reached out to turn off the light that had been on all night.

The more Lu Yinghuai looked at Jiang Tang, the more he liked him. He squatted down and hugged Jiang Tang, kissing him lightly on the forehead like a husband and wife parting ways: “Report, I’m going to the hospital.”

He was afraid that Jiang Tang would worry, so he added: “I’m going to meet a friend.”

If he was not unsure about what he was going to do, he would choose to bring Jiang Tang along.

“Okay.” Jiang Tang’s voice was a little hoarse.

“If you’re still sleepy, go sleep for a while after breakfast. I’ll bring you a gift.”

Jiang Tang was originally not in high spirits, but he suddenly became sober when he heard the word “gift”.

While Jiang Tang was eating, Uncle Chen was cleaning the kitchen and looked over with an unfriendly look.

Jiang Tang didn’t pay any attention. After dinner, he took the elevator back to his room, turned on the computer that Lu Yinghuai bought him yesterday, chatted with the man from last night for a few words, made some preparations, and then started writing code.

At the hospital.

“This is a miracle,” Xie Zan looked at Lu Yinghuai’s urgent gland report, “This is the first time I’ve heard that out-of-control pheromone and disorder can heal itself.”

“It’s not self-healing.”

“Hmm?” Xie Zan raised his eyes, “Then how did it get better? It’s quite magical.”

“It cost a huge price.” Lu Yinghuai’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were filled with the color of blood.

A young life was sacrificed in his place.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask. I’m not researching this topic anyway,” Xie Zan stood up and patted his shoulder, “Just tell others that it’s self-healing.”

“En.”

“Are you sure you want to draw glandular fluid?” Xie Zan asked, “You can also draw blood for testing.”

“Draining gland fluid is more accurate.”

“You can’t use anaesthesia. You have to continue to drain for half an hour. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. It’s very painful.”

“It’s okay,” Lu Yinghuai asked again, “If an Omega wants to extract all their pheromones, how long does it take?”

Xie Zan looked at him as if he were a pervert and said, “Your idea is very dangerous. If you ask this question outside, you will be arrested and imprisoned for at least two years.”

“That’s why I’m asking you.”

“I have never encountered such a situation. If all the pheromones are extracted,” Xie Zan pondered for a moment, “it will take about four hours for a healthy Omega, and the pain is proportional to the time. You know, if an Omega extracts all the pheromones, they will die.”

Right.

Lu Yinghuai thought, a healthy Omega needs four hours, so what about his Jiang Tang?

Xie Zan took him to change into sterile clothes and went to an empty room that looked like a laboratory.

There was an instrument on one side of the room near the window, and a row of test tubes, computers, and monitors on the other side. The middle was empty.

It’s like entering another space, so clean and impersonal.

“Sit there.” Xie Zan pointed to the instrument by the window, “Lower your head and the gland will be exposed.”

Lu Yinghuai felt like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

“Look, a special needle.”

Xie Zan showed Lu Yinghuai the needle connected to a long catheter as if to show off. The needle was very short but quite thick, and the tip of the needle reflected a cold light under the pale light.

“It’s not too late to regret now.” Xie Zan joked.

Lu Yinghuai smiled and said, “Hurry up.”

His smile quickly faded.

Jiang Tang’s slender neck appeared before his eyes, so fragile, seemingly vulnerable. Was the needle this thick when it pierced into his gland?

Before he could think about it, a sharp pain came from the gland.

The familiar pain caused Lu Yinghuai’s memory to flash back and forth, and finally stopped in the dim basement.

The pain was comparable to when he poked the gland with the tip of a knife, and cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

“I told you,” Xie Zan stood aside with his arms folded, watching him, “This is not just ordinary pain. Many Alphas who had to have their glands drained before started crying and howling halfway through. You should be thankful that you are an S-rank.”

Lu Yinghuai raised his eyes, and the sweat between his brows rolled down to his eyelashes and then fell down, looking like a tear. He didn’t move, looking at the liquid dripping from the other end of the instrument tube on the side of his face: “Why is it clear?”

“Do you have common sense?” Xie Zan looked at him in confusion, “Did you turn stupid because of the pain? Glandular fluid is transparent to begin with.”

How could Lu Yinghuai not know?

But he remembered the deep red liquid in Jiang Tang’s syringe.

“Under what circumstances will it be red?”

“Nonsense, of course it’s when it’s drawn out with the blood,” Xie Zan suddenly realised, “Wait, where have you seen red glandular fluid? Drawing it out with the blood is faster, but it’s very unprofessional. If you’re not careful, the person might die in the middle of the process! Even those half-baked people in the black clinics don’t dare to do this now!”

That means Jiang Tang drew it himself.

Fang Mu said that Jiang Tang had already been exposed by then, and he definitely did not have four hours to prepare.
