Love Me, Please Look - Chapter 27
Chapter 27
New Year’s Eve.
Ye Xu’s law firm was not as busy as usual during the Chinese New Year this year. It was rare to rest at home and cook a New Year’s Eve dinner for Zhang Shixu, mother and son.
Zhang Shixu helped bring the steamed bass out of the pot, and the sautéed broccoli fried in sautéed leaves happened to be served in juice.
“eat it. ” Ye Xu handed the chopsticks to Zhang Sequence.
Zhang Shixu took the chopsticks. He hadn’t tasted the food Ye Xu cooked in a long time, and his appetite was particularly good tonight.
“is it delicious? ” Ye Xu looked at him with a smile, not moving his chopsticks yet.
Zhang Shixu swallowed the broccoli, and it was delicious. Mom, you can eat it too. “
He took a mouthful of fish and gave Ye Xu a sign to her to eat quickly.
“Are you going to be a senior soon? ”
“um.”
“have you considered where to work? Stay in City B or return to City H. ”
Zhang Shixu’s hand paused in mid-air, and he really didn’t consider this issue.
“I helped the boss of a software company fight a lawsuit a few months ago and had the opportunity to push internally. I think. . . . ”
Before Ye Xu could finish speaking, Zhang Shixu interrupted her: “ mom, let me think about it, I haven’t thought about these issues yet. ”
Ye Xu knew that Zhang Shixu had been more independent since she was a child, so she didn’t say much.
“except that his headquarters is not in the country. In country R, you can think about it yourself. ” Ye Xu added.
Zhang Chronology said “ got it. ” Then he continued to lower his head to eat.
The atmosphere later was not much awkward. Mother and son discussed what Zhang Shixu saw and heard in school.
After the meal, Ye Xu and Zhang Shixu were both sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala. Qi Junhe’s video came over midway, and it was quite impressive that you kept beating me if you didn’t pick me up.
Zhang Shixu had no choice but to sneak back to his room. Ye Xu saw him and said nothing, staring at the TV.
“Happy New Year. ” Zhang Shixu answered the phone and immediately spoke.
Qi Junhe on the opposite side looked not very good, looking extremely lost.
“What happened? ” Zhang Shixu noticed Qi Junhe’s low mood.
‘I am in country A now and I miss you so much. ’ Qi Junhe’s eyes were red, as if he had been greatly wronged.
“Why did you suddenly go abroad? ”
‘My ancestors were not in good health and suddenly passed out. My parents and I flew over temporarily. ’
Zuzu is Xu Xinyi’s Alpha father Li Yi.
“is Zuzu awake now? ” Zhang shixu asked with concern.
‘are still lying inside, they are all sad and I am sad too. ’
“hug baby, have you eaten? ”
Qi Junhe shook his head, raised his hand and wiped his tears while shaking his head.
“ouch, don’t cry, it’s okay, it will be fine. ” Zhang Shixu comforted him, “ you go buy some food and buy it for your parents by the way. You have to take care of yourself and don’t let Zuzu worry. ”
Zhang Shixu comforted Qi Junhe for a few more words. Qi Junhe hung up the phone with red eyes and said happy New Year to Zhang Shixu.
Zhang Shixu waited for Qi Junhe to hang up the phone before walking out and sitting next to Ye Xu to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
“are you in love? ” Ye Xu broke the tranquility and took the initiative to ask.
“um.”
“Beta or Omega? ”
It seems that Ye Xu is going to break the casserole and ask the end.
“Alpha.”
Zhang Shixu didn’t mind telling Ye Xu about his relationship. He looked at Ye Xu’s somewhat unexpected expression and continued.
“His name is Qi Junhe, Junyong Junhe, and Hemiao He. The family conditions are very good, he has a good personality, is polite and educated, he is an oil painter and can play the cello. ”
Zhang Shixu rattled off all of Qi Junhe’s personal information like a robot, leaving Ye Xu stunned.
“Alright, alright, I’m not doing a background check,” Ye Xu interrupted. “I just wanted to remind you to be cautious.”
Zhang Shixu nodded. “I won’t let myself suffer, after all, I was taught by you.”
“You little—” Ye Xu wanted to scold him, but realized he wasn’t wrong.
To be able to leave someone as sharp-tongued as Ye Xu speechless—only Zhang Shixu could pull that off.
“Alright, enough talking. Let’s watch the performance.”
“These performances get more boring every year,” Ye Xu couldn’t help but complain.
She hadn’t watched these types of shows in ages, so her comment wasn’t far off.
…
Since Qi Junhe was still abroad, Zhang Shixu returned to school just in time for the new semester.
Qi Junhe messaged him saying that Li Yi had woken up shortly after the new year, though she was still very weak. It seemed their whole family would be returning to China soon.
Without Qi Junhe clinging to him every day, Zhang Shixu actually felt a bit unaccustomed to the change.
With no choice, he dragged Zhang Yan along to eat with him every day.
He’d gotten used to eating with someone else, and suddenly being alone again felt a bit lonely.
Zhang Yan rolled his eyes at this.
“Tell me, once Qi Junhe comes back, are you gonna dump me?”
Zhang Shixu nodded honestly.
“Damn, what am I to you? Some disposable trash you call over and toss aside at will?” Zhang Yan protested angrily.
“Come on, your girlfriend hasn’t returned to campus yet either. We’re just helping each other out like two empty-nesters.”
Feeling a bit guilty, Zhang Shixu transferred the big chicken leg from his own plate to Zhang Yan’s. Luckily, the latter wasn’t the type to hold a grudge—he grinned the moment he saw the drumstick.
“True enough.”
“See? You’re a kid worth teaching,” Zhang Shixu said with satisfaction.
“roll.”
Qi Junhe took half a month’s leave and flew back to China. Presumably Li Yi had nothing to do.
Zhang Shixu went to wait for Qi Junhe to finish class, and the two of them made an appointment to have dinner outside.
When Zhang Shixu ordered the dishes, Qi Junhe had already scalded the bowl with hot water and arranged it neatly for him.
Seeing this, Zhang Shixu took a teapot and poured some tea for Qi Junhe and him.
“Zuzu is okay, right? ” Zhang Chuxun asked with concern.
‘is much better. My grandfather asked us to come back first and he can accompany us. ’
“I just said it’s nothing, don’t cry all the time, okay? You have to be stronger, you are an Alpha after all. ” Zhang Shixu then joked about him.
Qi Junhe seemed to be a little red when he recalled the embarrassing attitude when he played the video that night. ‘ next time it won’t happen, don’t leave me, okay? ’
Zhang Shixu nodded as a matter of course and assured him, “ I will definitely not leave you, but you will still go home more this semester to spend time with your mother. ”
‘um.’
The dishes came up quickly. Zhang Shixu didn’t order many dishes, and the dishes were all light. He was afraid that Qi Junhe had no appetite.
Zhang Shixu sandwiched him a piece of egg dumplings. The egg dumplings were cooked in a casserole with white radish and were very sweet.
“eat, all thin. ” Zhang Shixu touched Qi Junhe’s face and said with heartache in his eyes.
Qi Junhe immersed himself in eating obediently. Zhang Shixu ate whatever he picked up, and he seemed to be very easy to support.
After dinner, Qi Junhe was not very energetic, so Zhang Shixu asked him to drive back to school, and the two separated early.
Qi Junhe also wanted to be tired and crooked with Zhang Shixu for a while. Zhang Shixu directly covered his mouth, “. Don’t get tired and crooked. Your dark circles have been pulled to the ground. Go back and sleep well. ”
When Zhang Shixu said this, he grinned. Qi Junhe looked at him and was shocked. He could only nod and let him go back to the dormitory.
“yo, is the old lover back? ” Zhang Yan raised his head from the game. Luo Jia had already returned to accompany him, and now the evil man complained first.
Zhang Chuxing sneered, “ right. Jealous? ”
“got it. ” Zhang Yan keeps operating, “ we are not qualified to be jealous! ”
Zhang Shixu kicked Zhang Yan’s stool, “ no matter how weird the yin and yang are, I will call Luo Jia and say that you lied to her about taking a shower, which is actually playing a game. ”
Zhang Yan is a second coward, “ brother, I was wrong. ”
Zhang Shixu didn’t bother to pay attention to him, so he took his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhang Yan followed him to the bathroom door and was shut out by Zhang Shixu.
“bro, don’t really say it, I beg you. ”
Zhang Shixu turned on the water, and a vague sound came out: “ If you harass me again, I will tell Luo Jia by the way that you not only tricked her into taking a shower, but also secretly ordered a late-night snack to open a small stove. ”
Although the voice is blurry, the content is heartbreaking every word.
When Zhang Yan heard this, he slipped back to his seat and played games tremblingly. He would never mess with a scheming man like Zhang Shixu again, and his heart was more sharp than a durian.
…
After Chen Jue was born, he was not as sound as other children and was always thin.
At first, Chen Nan thought there was something wrong with the milk powder, so he changed the milk powder and found out that it was still the case, so he stopped eating. In a quiet state, the breathing rate is very fast, and even breathing effort occurs.
The situation was wrong at first glance, so I quickly sent him back to the hospital for a look. I realized that the cardiac artery catheter had not been closed. The delay had been a bit long, so he had to operate as soon as possible.
Chen Nan spent another large amount of money in the hospital to recuperate from surgery.
Zhang Shixu knew whether Chen Jue was ill or Qi Junhe told him after Chen Jue’s surgery.
Chen Nan was startled when he saw Zhang Shixu standing at the door of the ward with a gloomy face carrying a pile of supplements.
“What’s wrong with you? ” Chen Nan got up to meet him, and Chen Jue was lying on the hospital bed sleeping alone.
Zhang Shixu threw the tonic on Chen Nan, but he didn’t dare to throw it away vigorously, but he just got angry.
“Don’t you need to tell me that Chen Juesheng is so seriously ill? After all, I chose the name. ” Zhang Shixu is going to be stunned.
“I was thinking that it would be useless to worry about one more person, ” Chen Nan put the tonic away and said softly: “ Anyway, the baby is fine now. ”
Qi Junhe specially arranged a single ward for Chen Nan.
Zhang Shixu walked into the ward, wiped his hands with the non-washable disinfectant and went to see Chen Jue.
The little guy is sleeping quietly. He is a beautiful baby carved in jade, but he is thinner than other ordinary children.
Zhang Shixu reached out and touched Chen Jue’s little face, and Chen Jue frowned as if feeling something.
“Don’t wake him up, just fell asleep. ” Chen Nan stopped Zhang Shixu from causing trouble.
Zhang Shixu had no choice but to put down his hand, “ to make sure nothing happened, right? ”
“Don’t worry, if you recover well, you will be discharged from the hospital soon. ”
Chen Nan poured a glass of water for Zhang Shixu, and the two sat like this watching Chen Jue sleeping.
“Say whatever happens in the future and don’t carry it yourself. ”
Chen Nan looked at Chen Jue and didn’t know if he heard it.
Zhang Shixu touched Chen Nan’s knee with his knee, and he said with some dissatisfaction: “ is talking to you. ”
“knows. ”
Zhang Chronology snorted, “ you just know. ”
Chen Jue fell asleep for a while and then cried quietly. He couldn’t hear his voice without listening carefully.
Zhang Shixu’s mind melted when he heard this movement, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
Chen Nan stopped him and “ I came. ”
Chen Jue’s wound had not recovered so well, and picking him up from the bed was another move that tested his skills, and Zhang Shixu couldn’t say anything.
He could only reach out and wait for Chen Nan to put Chen Jue into his arms.
This is the first time Zhang Shixu has hugged Chen Jue in so long. He is so small and soft.
Although he is a few months old, he is still as thin and small as a kitten.
Chen Jue’s crying did not stop, and Zhang Shixu looked at Chen Nan at a loss: “ What to do? He still cried. ”
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly, but the milk-pumping action on his hands continued.
“he is hungry and you hold him for a while. ”
Zhang Shixu nodded in confusion, “ oh. ”
He learned to coax children by patting Chen Jue’s little butt without any knowledge, “ it seems that not everyone can do nanny. ”
“that’s not the case. ”
“hey, you really still have to hire a nanny. ” Zhang Shixu said while coaxing the child.
“save some money, I still have to take him myself until he goes to kindergarten. ”
Chen Nan took the bottle and took Chen Jue from Zhang Shixu’s arms.
He said softly: “ drink Xiaojue. ”
Zhang Shixu looked at Chen Nan’s series of operations as if he were a ghost. Sure enough, he was a fickle wife. Although Chen Nan was not a kind person, he could surrender one thing to another.
“you go back first. ” Chen Nan looked at Chen Jue and said without raising his head.
People have issued eviction orders, and it is not easy for Zhang Shixu to stay.
“then I’ll go first. ”
“um, bye.”
“bye, you also have to pay attention to your own body. ”
After Chen Nan finished feeding Chen Jue, he straightened up and realized that Zhang Shixu didn’t know when he had stuffed a red envelope into his pocket.
There is a clockwise note of five thousand yuan and a note.
—— buy yourself something delicious ～(_)
Zhang Shixu went downstairs and waited downstairs for a while before Qi Junhe drove up. It seemed that he had been prepared.
He got into the car and fastened his seat belt, “ are you going home this weekend? ”
Qi Junhe still looked ahead and nodded slightly.
“What happened? Not willing to go home? ”
Qi Junhe shook his head again.
Zhang Shixu patted his right hand without driving, tempting him: “ don’t be unhappy. How about we go play games next weekend? ”
Qi Junhe finally forced a smile, though his face was still a little red.
Zhang Shixu couldn’t help thinking to himself: Lust really is a blade hanging over your head.
After dropping Zhang Shixu off at the dormitory, Qi Junhe hurried home—he felt like something had been off with his condition lately.
Xu Xinyi was still watching TV when she saw him come in and was a little shocked.
“Why did you suddenly come back?” Xu Xinyi asked, glancing behind him to see if Zhang Shixu had followed.
“My susceptibility period seems to be starting early,” he said.
Xu Xinyi, wearing an inhibitor patch, couldn’t smell any pheromones, but Aunt Ji, who was an Alpha, immediately brought over a suppressant injection.
“Young master seems to be entering his susceptibility period,” Aunt Ji said as she expertly injected a suppressant into Qi Junhe’s forearm.
“Help him upstairs to his room.”
Xu Xinyi wasn’t strong enough to support Qi Junhe, who was tall and broad, so with Aunt Ji’s help, they got him into the elevator and up to his room.
That night, Qi Junhe’s pheromones were in complete chaos, and the entire room was filled with the scent of chocolate sundae—his unique pheromone signature.
An advanced Alpha’s susceptibility pheromones carried a powerful sense of dominance. Lower-level Alphas or Omegas could feel weak in the knees just from being near, and some might even lose consciousness.
All the house staff were dismissed from the area. Only his parents, Xu Xinyi and Qi Qiming, remained unaffected.
Qi Qiming didn’t let Xu Xinyi go in. He entered the room himself and gave Qi Junhe another suppressant injection, also putting a bite inhibitor on him.
Qi Junhe’s consciousness was already hazy. This susceptibility period had come on strong—it was his first time experiencing it like this.
As Qi Qiming entered and exited the room, Qi Junhe seemed to catch a glimpse of Zhang Shixu’s figure through the fog in his mind.
He was in desperate need of pheromone soothing, and suddenly remembered that he had secretly taken one of Zhang Shixu’s shirts home before.
Zhang Shixu, half-dazed, tried to climb out of bed to get a shirt from the wardrobe, but because his body felt so heavy and unresponsive, he lost control and fell with a loud thud.
It was also the first time Xu Xinyi looked at Qi Junhe during the susceptibility period. Seeing Qi Junhe being so uncomfortable, mother and son were heartbroken, and she also felt uncomfortable.
Qi Junhe ignored her, got up and went to the closet to turn over her clothes.
Qi Qiming followed in and took Xu Xinyi out.
“Now the baby’s condition is wrong. According to normal, the pheromone basically stabilizes after injecting the inhibitor. If this continues, the son will have problems sooner or later. ”
Xu Xinyi panicked when she heard this, “ what to do? Looking for dad? ”
The research direction of Xu Canyang and Li Yi is pheromone.
Xu Xinyi didn’t care about the time difference anymore and dialed the phone directly.
“what happened to Amoi? ” Xu Canyang’s voice came from the opposite side.
This is Xu Canyang’s private number, which only his family knows.
“dad, there is something wrong with the baby now. ” Xu Xinyi said anxiously.
“Calm down, what happened? What about Qiming? ”
“Qiming He is next door to me, Junhe’s susceptibility period seems to be wrong. ”
“OK, I get it. My name is Zheng Zhi now. Are you stopping at Yunwan? ”
After Xu Canyang confirmed where Qi Junhe was sitting, he called Zheng Zhi and asked him to go there.
Zheng Zhi is a student personally led by Li Yi and is considered an expert on domestic pheromones.
