Chapter 48 The heart is as still as water

Zhai Yang took out his mobile phone and read the words in WeChat, trying to tell himself to be calm.

[Baby Jingjing]: I'm going home first.

Go home.

Is the contract just a decoration? Is she really qualified?

A calm mind means failure.

He received this WeChat message from Cui Jing when he was negotiating with someone last night. He woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly had the urge to call Cui Jing, but of course the call didn't go through because she would turn on the flight mode when she went to bed at night.

Still no call in the morning.

Zhai Yang forced himself to sit on the chair, his eyes were unfocused. He had a severe headache from not sleeping well the night before and it was difficult for him to concentrate. He had already lost focus several times in front of the computer early in the morning and hadn't turned the page of the plan in his hand for a long time.

He poured out a few non-steroidal drugs for headaches from the drawer and felt that he could not go through this class for even a moment.

"Mr. Zhai, it's not good to take medicine on an empty stomach. You haven't had breakfast yet. Doctor Jie asked me to remind you this morning to go to the hospital for regular physical checkups." Tang Annian pushed the door open and reminded him when she saw his hand movements.

"It's not good to drink black coffee on an empty stomach, so I'll replace the coffee with water."

"Leave the water there."

The balance in Zhai Yang's heart moved towards reason. He glanced at the transparent water cup in Tang Annian's hand and pretended to pour the medicine in the bottle back.

"By the way, the surveillance footage from the villa has been sent." Tang An Nian said again.

After the villa checked the surveillance footage, news came back that Madam Cui and a couple had left the villa. The new person in charge of the villa sent the surveillance footage over and talked to the contact person, Secretary Tang, while wiping his sweat, thinking that it would not involve any secrets.

Tang An Nian left the documents to Zhai Yang and left the office. She had other matters to deal with.

Zhai Yang clicked on the surveillance video and saw a familiar face, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and called Xue Yijie as he walked, "She's at your place."

"Mr. Zhai, this signature?" The employee who opened the office door saw that he was on the phone and his voice became smaller and interrupted.

"Ask Secretary Tang to stamp it." If the company can no longer function because he's not here and is going to go bankrupt, then let it go.

After Zhai Yang left, the employee stood for a while holding the document, then turned around and said in surprise, "Secretary Tang, that's great. I need your stamp. Thank you for your help."

"Okay, no trouble! Come with me."

Tang Annian glanced at the water cup on the table. The water level had dropped a little, but not much.

He still took painkillers.

Black coffee and painkillers don’t go together, but water goes with everything.

Zhai Yang drove to the hospital and called Cui Jing again before entering, but she didn't answer. He believed Xue Yijie, but that was before he threatened her with his sister. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

Zhai Yang thought that Cui Jing should not be involved.

He pushed open the door.

The three people in the ward were eating noodles. It was obvious that there were two bowls of spicy soup and one bowl of clear soup, and Xue Yijie couldn't swallow the clear soup.

Cui Jing was holding up her cell phone and looking at the blocked caller. Her lips were red from the burning sensation and a strand of hair and light were on her cheek. The white became whiter and the red became redder under the light.

The inside of her lightly powdered lips was a deep red, like the color of a ruptured blood vessel.

really……

She still lives such a peaceful and comfortable life.

At this moment, Zhai Yang's empty stomach was stimulated by the aroma of food. His mouth began to secrete saliva and his stomach secreted gastric acid. The burning sensation seemed to cause pain in his chest.

The direct consequence of taking non-steroidal drugs on an empty stomach without restraint is stomach protest.

Zhai Yang felt like a fool.

She didn't have to worry about anything at all. Anyone who came in front of her would be ordered around by her. Of course, this did not include some dirty-minded, brainless bastards, like that guy named Fan.

Xue Yijie stood up defensively.

He smelled the pheromones that Alpha was emitting. The dry wood was damp and cold after the rain, which made him realize once again the low instincts of Alpha, a new species.

Zhai Yang nodded to Xue Yijie. Thinking that there was someone lying on the hospital bed, he had to express his polite condolences first.

"If you feel uncomfortable, at least tell me." Zhai Yang raised his head and saw the bed card at the head of the bed. The word "differentiation" he saw made his heart almost stop.

——Beta.

After seeing the words clearly, Zhai Yang's heart, which had almost stopped beating, started beating again. "You split up last night?"

"Well, looking at her today, it's true." Cui Jing took a wet wipe and wiped off the red oil on her upper lip. "What's that expression on your face? You're very insecure."

"How am I unsafe?" Zhai Yang suppressed his anger. Except for the time when the old man drugged him, he usually got along well with her. Does she not trust him so much?

"You are an Alpha."

Just because Xue Yijie is a Beta, you believe him?

"Beta is a man too." You have only known each other for a short time, and there is still the possibility that you are rivals in love. You are too unguarded. I say "maybe" because Cui Jing has no feelings for me at all now.

"He is a nice guy. Can you please stop being unreasonable?" Cui Jing gave out the nice guy card.

"I'm being unreasonable? Yes, I'm not a good person." Zhai Yang wanted to laugh for some reason. When he reacted, he was already laughing out of anger, "What if you split into one...one." Omega.

Don't say anything, don't tell him, if something unexpected happens, have you thought about the consequences?

But he met Cui Jing's calm eyes.

He thought about what he had done to Xue Yiji in front of her: coercion, threats, and the disgusting label of homosexual.

"What can you guarantee? Can you be more rational, Zhai Yang?" Cui Jing spoke slowly and without any warmth in her words.

Can you be more reasonable?

In my memory, my hysterical mother was enraged by my father’s caring words. She lost control and pushed him to the ground. My father hugged him and turned to his mother and said: Can you be more rational?

Hiss... The medicine seems to have lost its effect. My head aches violently. Something is expanding, causing too much weight on my temples.

He is indeed not a good person.

He couldn't guarantee himself either. Not only was he not a good person, he was also not a good man. Apart from Xue Yijie, there were few good men in the world.

"Yes, I am not a good person."

"Indeed." Xue Yijie said.

Zhai Yang felt a little confused and uncomfortable, because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have not remembered Xue Yijie just now.

Anger clouded his mind.

Then he saw a strange emotion in Xue Yijie's eyes, sharp and incisive. Rather than scrutiny or questioning, it was more like... competition.

Zhai Yang really didn't want to speculate about Xue Yijie with something bad, but at this moment he couldn't control his conspiracy theories.

Cui Jing split up by chance? Xue Yijie was there, and he took the initiative to invite her to dance.

"Xue Yijie, it's me." Zhai Yang took a few steps forward.

Xue Yijie took a few steps back and politely covered her nose and lips. "Hold back your pheromones."

This time, Zhai Yang felt the aggressiveness of his language more clearly.

He knew that the overflow of Alpha's pheromones would cause oppression to Beta, and his emotions just now had been a bit too much.

Cui Jing is also a Beta. He first wanted to see Cui Jing's reaction, but he suppressed this impulse. The person he should care about should be Xue Yiji, and then his partner.

"Xue Yijie, are you okay?"

"You shouldn't ask me? You should ask your wife." Xue Yijie smiled mockingly.

Zhai Yang's face froze. He felt as if he was being overruled, or as if he was waiting to be called in front of the teacher but someone raised their hand and gave the answer first. The answer lingered on his lips, unable to be released.

The next words of Zhai Yang were stuck on his lips.

Suddenly I felt disgusted.

This time he was sure of the emotion in Xue Yijie's eyes - competition.

The person he liked had a gentle face and a concerned expression on it, but it was directed at his wife, while he looked at himself with an ignorant reproach.

When did it start.

Cui Jing was bored with this kind of cold-war-like flirting between the top and bottom protagonists, so she picked up the folding brochure on the table and read the popular science about ABO.

The whole page is filled with a lot of words.

There is a popular science page in the appendix of the public security agency. If an Alpha forcibly marks an Omega during the fever period, he will be severely punished. The same applies to marking a Beta, and the severity of the punishment will gradually decrease.

Friendly reminder from the public security organs: Cherish life, restrain yourself and return to propriety.

The precautions for Beta...there is nothing to pay attention to. Just stay away from Alpha when he has a fever to avoid being beaten, and stay away from Omega when he has a fever to avoid committing a crime and being sent to drink tea.

There are also some brochures on common underlying diseases, such as the prevention and health maintenance of hypertension and diabetes.

Interspersed among them was a colorful poster promoting the amusement park, which had just opened after the project was upgraded.

"Oh." Cui Jing became a little interested.

She took out her phone, scanned the official account and put the manual back. Xue Yijie glanced at her actions.

Cui Jing: "Tan Sheng."

Tan Sheng came over to take a look and asked, "You want to go?"

Cui Jing nodded.

"In two days." Qin Sheng thought for a moment, touched Cui Jing's head, and said affirmatively: "Just two days."
