Li Songyun got up early and made an appointment for mark removal operation at the hospital after getting the divorce certificate.
Omegas were only eligible for surgery if they obtained a divorce certificate.
Bai Zhi told him that some regulations should be amended. For example, the one-year separation requirement for divorce could be changed to, as long as the omega was willing to go to a legal institution to remove the lifetime mark, as it could conclusively prove that their relationship had broken down. Because if an omega could overcome his instinct to remove the mark, it meant that he had reached an unbearable point.
Bai Zhi was discussing with Tang Bai the impact that this incident could have. Hearing that they were preparing to investigate the data of omegas who had initiated divorces, Li Songyun wanted to help, but Tang Bai asked him to have a good rest during this period.
Removing a lifelong mark could cause great harm to the body. The higher the level of the alpha that marked the omega, the greater the harm he would suffer. For a mark like the one left by Gu Mian, he had to get it treated four times to completely remove it.
Accompanied by Jiang Youwen, Li Songyun lay on the operating table. Anesthesia was injected into his body. Li Songyun closed his eyes, and he seemed to have had a big dream.
In the dream, it was his and Gu Mian’s wedding night, with a red pillow and red sheets. Gu Mian touched his eyes and commented, “Red suits you very well.”
The process of lifelong marking was long. At this time, the omega hac no sexual desire and was more like an object that bore the weight than a human being.
He felt that his dignity and personality were being shattered bit by bit in the process of being marked. Gu Mian did not kiss him or touch him, but just looked down at the whole process of his submission.
The next day he wore a bright red suit with a snow-white vintage lace collar shirt underneath.
He was looking forward to Gu Mian’s praise, and then he heard Gu Mian say: “Pay attention to your dress, throw away clothes with lace elements, and don’t wear clothes with bright colors.”
The pain at that moment woke him up from his dream.
“The operation was successful. A second mark removal will be performed in a week. Here are the precautions after the operation.” After the doctor gave the instructions and left, Li Songyun lay on the bed. After the anesthesia wore off, the excruciating pain swept over him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
Jiang Youwen was terrified and held his hand tightly. “Songyun, how are you? Are you feeling bad?”
Li Songyun’s hands were sweating. He saw his pale and embarrassed face in Jiang Youwen’s eyes.
But he felt that his spirits were better than ever.
It must be painful to piece your shattered self-esteem and personality back together, right?
Li Songyun smiled, held Jiang Youwen’s hand, and said softly, “I’m fine, Youwen, I want to go buy clothes.”
“Buy!” Jiang Youwen recalled Li Songyun’s usual dressing style and was about to name a few brands that Li Songyun might like, when she heard Li Songyun add, “Buy red clothes.”
….
Gu Mian stood at the school gate waiting for Gu Peifeng to finish school. Because Gu Peifeng’s school time conflicted with the military’s get off work schedule, this was the first time he was picking up Gu Peifeng from school.
He gave the custody of Gu Peifeng to Li Songyun according to Li Songyun’s wishes, and he also gave half of his property to Li Songyun.
Li Songyun asked him why, and he said that this part was for Gu Peifeng.
The wait at the school gate was a bit long. Gu Peifeng’s class did not finish school at 4:30 as scheduled. Gu Mian stood for a while and saw students from several classes lining up to walk out.
The parents around him were talking about their children’s homework, such as punching in for housework, skipping rope, and reciting. They complained that educating children nowadays was more tiring for parents than for the children themselves and said that they never had to do these things when they were in school.
There were also parents who said they were unlucky and had been selected to be on guard duty and would have to stand all day tomorrow. Another parent said he was chosen to clean up the class.
Gu Mian felt unfamiliar with the content of these conversations; he had never heard Li Songyun mention these things before.
——”He had to bear four children, endure the absence of his husband during pregnancy, endure the absence of his husband during the child-rearing stage, and endure the absence of his husband during all stages of the children’s growth.”
“Look, isn’t that Class 5, Grade 1?”
“Finally they came out!”
Gu Mian was standing in the crowd. He saw Gu Peifeng standing in the middle of the team. He was not tall, so he did not find the child at first sight.
The child kept walking with his head down, and only raised his head when he was about to reach the school gate. Gu Mian found that Gu Peifeng’s eyes were a little swollen, as if he had been crying.
He always felt that Gu Peifeng was too weak, cowardly and greedy, and didn’t seem like a child from the Gu family.
Later he thought that betas might be like this.
Gu Peifeng seemed to look at him but did not recognize him. He saw Gu Peifeng walk out of the school gate, wave to the classmates around him, and run in another direction.
In the noisy crowd, his eyes followed Gu Peifeng and finally fell on Li Songyun, who was dressed in red.
For a moment, Gu Mian did not recognize that this was Li Songyun.
Li Songyun wore a black veil hat, and the lace veil covered his bright smile and warm red eyes.
Some people may look gaudy or tacky in red, but on Li Songyun, the bright red made him look more calm and dignified. He gracefully took Gu Peifeng’s hand and walked into the distance at a leisurely pace.
At this time, the sky was filled with sunset glow, which reflected the redness of Gu Mian’s gray-blue eyes, as if a candle was overturned in the night.
He could feel that the lifelong mark he left on Li Songyun had been partially washed away.
This realization made him feel as if a piece of his heart had been cut out.
He finally realized very clearly that Li Songyun would never come back.
….
“Uncle Li went to the hospital to have the lifelong mark removed.” Tang Bai whispered to Xie Ruheng while sitting in the theater, “Mom said Uncle Li looked very bad. She said Uncle Li’s condition was not this bad even when he gave birth.”
“It hurts to wash off the lifelong mark.” Tang Bai whispered, “The process of forming the lifelong mark is also painful.”
Tang Bai had seen the knot diagram in physiology class, and he felt that Alpha was a little abnormal when it came to lifelong marking.
Xie Ruheng looked at the worried Tang Bai, the delicate and weak little omega, with skin so tender that water could be pinched out of it, who he looked like he had never suffered any hardship since childhood. If there was a live-action version of The Princess and the Pea, it would be absolutely convincing to let Tang Bai play this character.
Xie Ruheng held Tang Bai’s hand. He thought for a while, and said softly as if he had made up his mind: “Then I won’t mark you for life?”
Tang Bai:”?”
Tang Bai turned his head in surprise and met Xie Ruheng’s serious eyes.
“Brother Xie, are you serious?” Tang Bai said in disbelief, “I heard that you alphas have a strong obsession with marking omegas for life.”
An omega that has been marked for life would submit to the alpha and would not be able to disobey the alpha easily when the alpha released his pheromones. It was said that after an alpha with an extremely high degree of matching had marked an omega, no matter what excessive things the alpha did, as long as the alpha released his pheromones, the omega would not be able to leave the other party and would crawl to the other party even if he didn’t want to.
The influence was mutual, it was possessiveness and protectiveness for the alpha, and submission and attachment for the omega.
Tang Bai had not gone to a professional organization to test the compatibility of his pheromones with Xie Ruheng’s, but he thought that the compatibility between the two of them should be quite high.
When Xie Ruheng was in his susceptible period, he liked Xie Ruheng emotionally and was willing to satisfy Xie Ruheng on the one hand, but the influence of pheromones on his body was another very critical aspect.
Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng looked at each other for a while and found that the pair of phoenix eyes were full of true feelings. Xie Ruheng said to him, “It’s fake.”
Tang Bai: “???” What’s wrong with you?!
“I can’t reduce the pain you will suffer when you are marked for life,” Xie Ruheng promised softly, “but I can save you from the pain of having the mark removed.”
Tang Bai could feel that Xie Ruheng was very serious at this time, and his tone was very firm. He couldn’t help but ask: “How can you guarantee that I won’t wash the mark in the future?”
“If you meet someone you like more…” Facing the gradually narrowing phoenix eyes, Tang Bai instinctively sensed the danger, but from the time he knew Xie Ruheng until now, Xie Ruheng had never done anything excessive to him. Suddenly seeing this side of Xie Ruheng, Tang Bai found it quite exciting.
Tang Bai said boldly, “Want to try a new relationship?”
The light in the cinema was dim, and those black eyes were like rolling ink, and it was impossible to tell what emotion they were expressing.
“I will get you back.”
The hand that was originally holding him slowly loosened, and the palm silently covered his neck, pressing his gland suggestively.
“And then re-mark you.”
Tang Bai’s glands were very sensitive, and being rubbed by the rough fingertips aroused a tingling sensation like an electric shock. His eyelashes trembled, and then his eyes widened slightly——
Then he felt a warm touch on his earlobe.
Xie Ruheng gently bit Tang Bai’s earlobe, and a low, hoarse and slow voice sounded beside Tang Bai’s ear: “I’ll keep marking until you dare not wash it off anymore.”
He spoke slowly and clearly, constantly increasing the depression and terror in this process, all of which were outlined in just a few sentences.
Tang Bai covered his earlobe which were numbed by licking and looked carefully into the dark and unclear phoenix eyes. He swallowed his saliva and asked, “Is it true?”
His eyes curved, then a helpless smile flashed across them, and Xie Ruheng said in a gentle tone: “It’s fake.”
He also didn’t know what he would be like if he really went crazy.
But if what he was about to do would hurt Tang Bai, he still couldn’t bear to do it.
Tang Bai rubbed his ears and said obediently: “Let’s continue watching the movie.”
This was a romance movie. The omega heroine in the movie could not undergo the mature marking removal surgery because of her underdeveloped glands, which meant that she could only accept lifelong marking once in her life.
The heroine didn’t dare to accept the lifelong mark with the hero, fearing that she might have misjudged him and entrusted her trust to the wrong person.
The hero didn’t know the heroine’s secret, and he and her had a series of chaotic and hilarious cross-channel exchanges on the issue of lifelong marking.
At this point in the movie, the hero mistakenly thought that the heroine was afraid of pain, so he went to the hospital to experience the pain of lifelong marking. It hurt so much that his eyes were filled with tears. After returning, he said to the heroine, “I went to the hospital and I understood everything.”
Someone in the theater laughed. Tang Bai threw a popcorn into his mouth and said, “Brother Xie, although it hurts to be marked for life, if that person is you…”
Xie Ruheng turned his head and looked at Tang Bai and muttered, “I think it’s okay.”
“If I really cry in pain, just remember to kiss me.”
