maraschino cherries

Chapter 12

In the following days, Sheng Lin occasionally went to the flower shop to help out and earn extra money. The lunch was arranged by Xi Luyu and delivered to his home. It was Sheng Lin's favorite dish, and it was enough for Sheng Lin to eat alone. Even Xi Hezhou Not here, Sheng Lin was still being supervised to eat on time.

"You tell my sister not to arrange food delivery, I can do it myself."

When Sheng Lin came home from get off work, the boss gave him some flowers, and he was looking for a vase when Xi Hezhou called.

"No, no one reminded you that you don't remember to eat at all." Xi Hezhou was very noisy, as if a group of people were arguing about something.

This doesn't seem like a good time to call.

"Okay, keep busy."

"Wait a minute..." Sheng Lin was just about to hang up, but Xi Hezhou over there stopped him, "Sheng Lin, I want to see you, let's turn on the camera."

At this time, half a month had passed since Xi Hezhou's business trip.

Sheng Lin turned on the camera, and there was a black shadow over Xi Hezhou, and he couldn't see anything, only the sound of arguing could be vaguely heard.

"I'll just take a look at you. If there's trouble here, don't turn on the camera." Xi Hezhou's voice came through the phone, and under the cover of the current, he could hear his fatigue.

Sheng Lin put the phone on the table and started to do his own thing. Xi Hezhou looked at the people arranging flowers and plants on the small screen, and the feeling of burnout dissipated a lot.

The tender time was very short, Xi Hezhou also sneaked in to call Sheng Lin during the meeting, and hung up, Xi Hezhou still had to continue the meeting.

For the next week, Xi Hezhou would call Sheng Lin every day for varying periods of time. Most of the time, he was called away directly and was forced to hang up.

On the morning of the weekend, Sheng Lin was going to the hospital for reexamination. Last time, Xi Hezhou accompanied him to listen to the doctor's nagging, but this time it was only Sheng Lin.

"According to the report, there is still some inflammation in the mouth, I will prescribe some medicine for you." The doctor's expression was serious, and Sheng Lin was a little nervous, "Didn't your alpha come?"

"He's on a business trip, just tell me." Sheng Lin blushed a little.

"Go back and tell your alpha that your body is not suitable for conception at the moment, and try not to get close to your genitals/cavities during sex during the non-estrous period."

That's what he said, but Sheng Lin still felt that Xi Hezhou wouldn't listen to him during the susceptible period. At that time, he didn't say too deeply and made him feel uncomfortable, but no one listened. Rational, Sheng Lin didn't know if he would be able to get up the next day.

"You should continue to take the previous medicine. Your alpha, depending on the time, your estrus period is probably coming soon. Try to let him come back before your estrus period."

Sheng Lin took the new medicine out of the hospital, and Xi Hezhou called. He knew that Sheng Lin was going to have a reexamination, and he planned to let Jiang Rou accompany him, but Sheng Lin refused, so he didn't say anything more.

"what did the doctor say?"

Xi Hezhou was still as noisy as ever.

"Said Sheng/zhi's mouth was a little inflamed, and prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs for me."

"Sorry, it's my problem."

It is indeed your problem.

"It's okay, the doctor said that I am in good health during this time."

Sheng Lin didn't mention anything about his estrous period. Every time Xi Hezhou called, the opposite party was very noisy, and he was probably too busy, so there was no need to tell him these things to distract him.

The estrous period came one night two weeks later, and the pain woke Sheng Lin up from his sleep, with cold sweat dripping down his face. He had experienced this kind of pain many times in the past.

When he was in estrus before, he didn't know that he was allergic to the inhibitor, so he took the inhibitor injection directly and almost died, but fortunately someone sent him to the hospital to save his life.

I don't know why I suddenly recalled this incident today. Sheng Lin curled up on the bed with the quilt wrapped around Sheng Lin's body. No matter what position he took, he couldn't relieve the pain on his body. The faces overlapped, and the faces gradually became clear in the memory.

"Xi Hezhou..."

Is the person who sent him to the hospital Xi Hezhou?

How could it be possible, before that time, Sheng Lin didn't know Xi Hezhou at all.

The heat and pain rose from the lower abdomen, and there was a faint tendency to raise his head. Sheng Lin was so painful that he couldn't stand up, so he could only slowly move to the bathroom while leaning on the wall, and put a tub of cold water for himself. He tried this method before. , external stimuli can slightly synthesize the body pain caused by estrus.

If Xi Hezhou were here, he would definitely not let himself be soaked in cold water like this.

Still thinking about Xi Hezhou at this time, Sheng Lin felt that he was hopeless, the back of his neck and lower abdomen were still hurting, as if he had been crushed.

Before his consciousness disappeared, Sheng Lin heard the sound of the door opening, strong brandy pheromone rushed towards his face, and he grabbed the body that was about to slide down with both hands.

Xi Hezhou?

The morning sun came as expected, Sheng Lin woke up from the bed, the back of his neck was pasted with restraining stickers, he didn't feel any discomfort, and there were still marks of pinholes on his arms, he remembered that someone had been there when he passed out yesterday.

"Xi Hezhou! Xi Hezhou!" Sheng Lin called out twice, but no one responded.

He did smell Xi Hezhou's pheromone last night, but he couldn't smell other pheromones, so he would be particularly sensitive to that smell.

Xi Hezhou came back last night.

There were more than a dozen missed calls on the phone, all of which were Xi Hezhou. Sheng Lin called back, but no one answered. Before, Xi Hezhou would answer the call no matter what he was doing, and would send a message no matter what.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sheng Lin hurried down to open the door, but the person standing at the door was not the person he wanted to see.

The man was wearing a neat military uniform, and there were two men in military uniforms behind him. Sheng Lin's first feeling was that they were looking for Xi Hezhou.

"Hi, let me introduce myself. I'm Qi Lian, a major general of the military department."

Sheng Lin didn't know him.

"I came today to ask, did Xi Hezhou come back yesterday?" Qi Lian asked with a smile, but Sheng Lin felt it was hypocritical, "For some reasons, we need to know his movements."

"I don't know, I went to bed early last night."

Now he also wants to know where Xi Hezhou is.

Qi Lian's face was stiff for a moment, but he quickly returned to the original smirk.

"I thought he must be looking for you when he came back in such a hurry." Qi Lian looked a little distressed, "After compressing a month's workload into three weeks, isn't it the first time he comes back home?"

The latter sentence was like talking to himself, but Sheng Lin heard it clearly, no wonder the previous phone call, no matter what time period, the background was noisy, it was not a coincidence, it was just rushing to work.

"Excuse me, take a call."

Sheng Lin looked at Qi Lian's back, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He always felt that there were some things he didn't know, that Xi Hezhou deliberately kept them secret, and it was a very important matter, otherwise why Xi Hezhou didn't wait for him to wake up when he came back last night leave.

To contact Xi Hezhou.

Qi Lian hung up the phone, looked at Sheng Lin, and sighed for some reason: "I just received a call. Xi Hezhou is in the hospital. Will Mr. Sheng come with us?"

Hospital? !
