TLAIALS Chapter 56

“How is the recruitment of volunteers for third phase going?”

In the research institute, Chu Yi Qiao, wearing a white coat, walked through the corridor with the international expert group into the laboratory.

All laboratories are fully transparent with glass. You only need to stand outside to capture the situation inside clearly, including the action of placing the test piece under the microscope.

“The recruitment has been completed, we are now waiting for their inspection report to come out with results, if there are no problems, we can start.”

Chu Yi Qiao’s footsteps stopped in front of the glass window of one of the laboratories.

He cast his eyes on a researcher who was processing blood samples through the glass window. The researcher twisted the blood sample cover with one hand and put the blood sample into the instrument with the other hand. Because the second phase of the barrier vaccine has just ended, there are a large number of blood samples that need to be tested, and the blood samples processed by the institute are all ABO people who need to be observed. Once the sample shows that the barrier fails, the people must undergo re-testing and pheromone identification.

This is a new requirement he put forward half a year ago, to find the barrier failure population without omission through the barrier vaccine injection situation, so as to avoid tragedies related to pheromone rejection.

As long as Jiang Mian Huai was not caught, he could not rest easy.

He was so focused that he didn’t notice the eyes staring at him.

Chu Yi Qiao was standing in front of the glass window, with no expression on his calm face. He looked tall and thin in the white coat of a researcher, and looked different from his usual suits and leather shoes, adding a bit of coolness and elegance.

Luo Qing Ye thought to herself, this man is really a workaholic.

“Xiao Ye, I was also like this back then.”

Luo Qing Ye heard Chu Yi Qiao calling out to himself and he walked over to the man.

Chu Yi Qiao pointed at the busy researcher in the laboratory through the glass: “In the past, He She and I stayed in the laboratory almost all the time to research effective barrier ingredients. The place where we spent most of our time during the years of college was the laboratory. We were so busy that we had no time to go home, and we were so tired that we could fall to the ground and sleep. Not for anything, I just want to find a way to really protect Omegas from harm.”

“Now it has developed into the Galaxy Research Institute, the barrier vaccine has been successfully promoted in China, and even became the country with the highest vaccination rate in the world. I think my efforts have not been in vain, but it is not enough.”

“I want a stronger barrier vaccine, so that when necessary, Omegas can emit pheromones of resistance when exposed to danger because of the injection of barrier vaccine, which can play a deterrent role instead of being passive.”

“So it’s not enough, we have to continue.” Chu Yi Qiao looked at Luo Qing Ye and said seriously: “You have to work hard, very hard, understand?”

Luo Qing Ye took in all the expressions on Chu Yi Qiao’s face, including his tone. He knew that Chu Yi Qiao was worried that he would not be able to do the job, and was supervising and spurring him on.

But underneath this, Chu Yi Qiao was overly nervous, and this kind of nervousness was particularly obvious this month.

When he was just on vacation and accompanied Chu Yi Qiao, this situation would not happen, but starting from this month, Chu Yi Qiao began to become anxious, often had nightmares, and would wake up every time. It took a long time to calm down, and he even needed to rely on his pheromones to fall asleep, and his quality of sleep became very poor.

He became more strict at work. Not only that, he also went to the research institute every day and asked about the progress of the barrier vaccine every day.

Even Yuan Nian had asked him if they had quarrelled and why Chu Yi Qiao seemed to be in a bad mood, he was obviously very happy some time ago.

He knew that Chu Yi Qiao was anxious about Jiang Mian Huai’s matter, but he was more worried that if this continued, Chu Yi Qiao would be affected physically.

After all, he was pregnant.

Because the pregnancy symptoms of male Omegas and female Omegas were different during pregnancy, he found a lot of relevant books to read, and was worried that this was Chu Yi Qiao’s pregnancy reaction, so he could only study the pregnancy symptoms of Omega fathers in addition to studying.

Fast mood changes, appetite changes, and morning sickness are all similar.

But there is one thing that worries him the most.

[In the early stages of pregnancy, male Omegas will have a decrease in sexual desire, which will lead to uncontrolled moodiness. This is a manifestation of a strong progesterone reaction, and the Alpha partner needs to guide the Omega to remove his psychological defence in time, otherwise there is a high probability of depression during pregnancy, which will affect the growth and development of the fetus.]

And what should be done as an Alpha is to try to appease the Omega’s emotions.

“I will, don’t worry, Ge.” Luo Qing Ye didn’t want to say anything to Chu Yi Qiao here, he only hoped that his answer could make Chu Yi Qiao eliminate his unwarranted nervousness: “I’ve already passed Professor Xu’s application, he promised to teach me next semester so that I can successfully complete the independent enrollment exam in March.”

He knew that his foundation was weak. Chu Yi Qiao found a lot of powerful teachers to help him catch up quickly. Now, he not only needs to take the senior high school courses, after all, the college entrance examination is approaching, but also try to pass the independent enrollment to enter the university that Chu Yi Qiao wants him to go to the most, majoring in biological sciences.

Chu Yi Qiao listened to Luo Qing Ye’s gentle answer, and suddenly seemed to realise what tone he was using. He frowned, and an undetectable look of chagrin passed under his eyes.

In the end, he didn’t say anything and continued to take Luo Qing Ye to study in every laboratory.

It was close to noon before they left the institute.

Yuan Nian’s car was already waiting downstairs.

Chu Yi Qiao walked out of the institute and subconsciously looked around as if he was looking for something, a wary look on his face.

This action was caught by Luo Qing Ye, and he stepped forward to hold Chu Yi Qiao’s hand.

A ‘splat’ sounded, extremely crisp.

Just when he touched Chu Yi Qiao, he was slapped away. It was a very vigilant reaction, and also a very abnormal reaction.

Luo Qing Ye’s hand froze in mid-air, the back of his hand slightly red, he looked at Chu Yi Qiao, and his face wasn’t stunned, but puzzled:

“Ge?”

This is obviously already very wrong, Chu Yi Qiao became wary and repulsive to his touch at some point, it seems like it started last week.

Chu Yi Qiao saw that he had slapped Luo Qing Ye’s hand away. The fingertips of his hand trembled slightly, and there was astonishment in his eyes, as if he couldn’t believe his behaviour: “Xiao Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

“I’m not angry, are you too nervous?” Luo Qing Ye went up and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, pinched them, pretending to complain in his tone: “Also, you’ve really been a workaholic this whole time, you’re ignoring me, and just now you hit me, I’ll hurt.”

He half-hugged Chu Yi Qiao, wanting to liven up the atmosphere so that Chu Yi Qiao wouldn’t be too nervous, and used intimate physical contact to tell Chu Yi Qiao that he was not angry.

“Do you think I’m a little abnormal?” Chu Yi Qiao looked at Luo Qing Ye with a sidelong glance.

Luo Qing Ye met the pair of amber eyes, which seemed to be shrouded by a layer of light mist. The gentle outline of his eyebrows made this man not as cold as he looked on the surface. Even under such a calm question, he felt Chu Yi Qiao’s strong uneasiness.

But he didn’t know why Chu Yi Qiao was so uneasy because Chu Yi Qiao didn’t tell him anything.

He only knew that during this month, Chu Yi Qiao frantically wanted him to progress faster, wanting him to achieve it overnight.

“No, it’s quite good.” Luo Qing Ye kissed Chu Yi Qiao’s brow as he laughed: “My Lao Po is good in every way.”

If he had said this to Chu Yi Qiao in this tone a month ago, Chu Yi Qiao would have definitely teased him in return and would not miss any opportunity to tease him.

But now Chu Yi Qiao was silent.

The smile on Luo Qing Ye’s face gradually faded away, just to prevent Chu Yi Qiao from seeing that he was still smiling and not looking so disappointed.

Back in the car, Yuan Nian subconsciously glanced at the rear view mirror and realised that the atmosphere between these two was still so subtle.

“President Chu, where will you be heading?”

Chu Yi Qiao leaned back in his chair as he closed his eyes: “Send Xiao Ye to Professor Xu’s place first, then send me to Jiang Tian Yi Su.”

When Luo Qing Ye heard Jiang Tian Yi Su, he suddenly turned sideways and looked at him: “What are you going there for?”

“Just going back to get something.” Chu Yi Qiao opened his eyes and saw Luo Qing Ye’s sudden reaction, and couldn’t help frowning: “Luo Qing Ye, you have to remember that you are the heir of the Galaxy Group from now on. Don’t be startled, learn to be calm and steady, understand?”

Yuan Nian: “!” His hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

Luo Qing Ye was stunned. He stared at Chu Yi Qiao quietly and saw Chu Yi Qiao frowning, as if he understood. After a moment, he put away all the emotions on his face, pursed his lips and leaned back in the chair.

The atmosphere was instantly frozen.

Chu Yi Qiao noticed that Luo Qing Ye’s pheromones were not right, and he was filled with strong displeasure. He also realised what he had said, and the chagrin in his eyes became clearer.

“Xiao Ye, I—”

“I’ll go find Professor Xu myself, be careful by yourself.” Luo Qing Ye opened the car door and got out.

The car door was slammed shut.

Luo Qing Ye got out of the car and walked away quickly. He was tall and slender in black clothes. Just his back could make people feel the coldness and low pressure all over his body.

Chu Yi Qiao looked out the window. He watched Luo Qing Ye’s figure getting farther and farther away. His hand was on the car door, as if he was holding back something, gradually tightening.

“President Chu, did you and the young master have a quarrel?” Yuan Nian couldn’t help asking after all. He was really suffering too much recently.

“No.” Chu Yi Qiao saw Luo Qing Ye disappear from his sight. He closed his eyes tiredly and whispered: “How could I quarrel with him?”

“Then you guys……”

“Did the people we arranged last time follow Xiao Ye?” Chu Yi Qiao asked.

Yuan Nian heard Chu Yi Qiao suddenly ask: “Yes, there are always people around the young master to protect him, President Chu, don’t worry.”

Don’t worry?

Chu Yi Qiao’s heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while. How could he not worry?

He took a deep breath to adjust his breathing.

“Go to Jiang Tian Yi Su.’

He didn’t believe that Jiang Mian Huai would deliver things wherever he went. If he had the ability, just show up.

The black Maybach slowly drove away from the Galaxy Research Institute.

Behind the towering tree, a figure was reflected on the ground. The figure raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and a hoarse laugh came out:

“Yesterday’s gift was a hand, what’s a good gift for today?”
