Chapter 1698: Seemingly Coveted 15
Gao Tu suppressed his heartache and apologized to Shen Wenlang: "I'm sorry, Shen Wenlang, I deceived you. I'm not a Beta. I'm just the kind of scheming and greedy Omega that you hate the most..."
"I will resign immediately and disappear immediately. You don't have to worry about any consequences..."
Gao Tu bowed deeply, not daring to listen to Shen Wenlang's judgment. He stood up, turned around and walked out.
But he had spent ten years growing up with Shen Wenlang, and leaving him suddenly now was like cutting flesh and bones. He was heartbroken, and felt that every breath was accompanied by severe pain. Every step was heavy as if a stone was falling.
But he knew very well that if he didn't leave today, he would just be a liar in the future, and he wouldn't even be able to keep the title of friend...
Just as Gao Tu's hand touched the door handle, Shen Wenlang spoke up: "Stop! Are you going to leave like this?"
Gao Tu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I was inconsiderate."
Shen Wenlang harshly scolded, "Go to the back and wash it clean!"
Behind it was Shen Wenlang's lounge. In the entire group, only Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu could go in. Even the layout inside was prepared by Gao Tu himself. Gao Tu didn't expect that he could go in at this time.
After Gao Tu entered, Shen Wenlang secretly released targeted pheromones to Gao Tu, forcing Gao Tu to have a fever. He fainted on the ground.
Shen Wenlang didn't have time to catch Gao Tu, and he fell directly to the ground. Such a big mistake made him very upset. He quickly rushed out with Gao Tu in his arms, and when he passed the secretariat, he said directly, "Prepare the car to go to Heci!"
Secretary Qin immediately made arrangements, and Shen Wenlang carried Gao Tu to the garage, where the driver was ready.
After the temporary marking, Gao Tu's disordered pheromones were temporarily soothed, but after all, the abuse of pheromones over the years had caused damage to his glands. The scars from that night showed little sign of healing, and his body began to become inflamed.
Gao Tu was still muttering words like "I'm sorry" despite having a high fever. Shen Wenlang could only try his best to hold him in his arms and release soothing pheromones to comfort him. The driver didn't even dare to look back.
Even after changing hospitals, the doctor's responsible attitude did not change much. It was just that the director of the pheromone department at Heci knew Shen Wenlang, so his words were not as sharp.
Shen Wenlang responded to the doctor's instructions and advice one by one. The doctor saw that he had no intention of being perfunctory, and that there was hidden affection in his eyes when he looked at the patient. He also understood that the relationship between the two was definitely not as simple as he saw, so he did not say much and only focused on Gao Tu's condition.
Gao Tu woke up quite early, after noon.
As soon as this person opened his eyes, he started to make trouble. Shen Wenlang reached out and pushed him back to the bed, scolding him angrily: "What are you going to do now?"
"Did you know that your abuse of pheromone inhibitors over the years has caused pheromone disorder?!"
Gao Tu was speechless and could only say sorry again. Even though he opened his eyes and saw Shen Wenlang beside him, he knew that this would not change anything. After all, his deception could not be erased.
Seeing Gao Tu's dumbfounded expression, Shen Wenlang had no choice but to bow his head. "Gao Tu, I don't want an apology. I want an explanation, a proper explanation!"
Gao Tu's hands, hidden under the quilt, unconsciously tightened. He carefully observed Shen Wenlang's expression with infinite anticipation, and found that he really didn't have much anger or rage, but only a heart full of helplessness and hidden--
Gao Tu felt his heart was beating too fast. He didn't dare to speak, for fear that his heart would jump out of his throat before he could make any sound.
Shen Wenlang did not urge him and waited for Gao Tu to slowly react.
It was difficult to talk while lying down, so Gao Tu struggled to sit up. Shen Wenlang quickly reached out to help. Gao Tu took the opportunity to hold Shen Wenlang's hand, and Shen Wenlang only felt a wetness.
Finally, Gao Tu organized his words and spoke with a hint of reminiscence, "Shen Wenlang, do you still remember the first Omega female classmate who told me to my face that I had intentions towards you?"
Shen Wenlang recalled carefully and it seemed that such an incident had indeed happened, but he could not remember the other person's figure clearly. He had long since attributed the person to the category of people who harassed him.
Gao Tu saw that Shen Wenlang hadn't remembered for a long time, so he didn't feel bad for him. "That day, that female classmate got angry and said that I followed you around all day and took the initiative to protect you from other people because I had a crush on you and wanted to keep you all to myself."
Having said that, Gao Tu couldn't help but reveal a bleak smile, and lowered his eyelids again, not daring to look at Shen Wenlang's expression.
"...She's right. From the first time I saw you, I..."
Difficult to put aside his own friendship, Gao Tu talked about his family: "You know my family situation. If I were an Omega instead of a Beta, I would have been sold out by my gambling father a long time ago. So, ever since my differentiation, my mother has been teaching me how to use pheromone inhibitors to disguise myself as a Beta."
"I've been doing well, and even got the chance to get close to you because of my Beta identity—"
Gao Tu couldn't continue, so Shen Wenlang had to speak up to clear up some misunderstandings. "I hate Omegas, not because they seem cunning and pretentious on the surface, but because since high school, every Omega who has come after me seems to have treated me as a tool, a tool that can bring them honor, money, and even power."
"I hate their selfishness and greed. It's not so much that I hate Omegas, but rather that the people whose intentions I see through happen to be Omegas."
The "Shen Wenlang" in this world wants a lover who values him for who he is. The other party must not be greedy for power and money, nor care about false reputation, but only love him for who he is.
Gao Tu is the only exception around "Shen Wenlang".
Gao Tu is the only person in "Shen Wenlang" who does not seek anything. He will even argue with him when encountering problems and insist on his own opinions and ideas. Therefore, "Shen Wenlang" gradually erased Gao Tu from the status of a follower very early on and regarded him as a true friend.
So he planned Gaotu's studies and future, arranged everything for Gaotu, and gradually made himself inseparable from Gaotu, and Gaotu inseparable from him.
Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu didn't say much, but they both knew that after today, everything would be different.
So Shen Wenlang directly asked Gao Tu to move to another place. "That shabby neighborhood of yours has no security at all, and the neighbors around are all middle-aged and elderly people. Apart from the cheap rent, there is really no advantage at all."
"Besides, now that our relationship has taken a step forward, it's only natural for you to live in my house. With the money you save, you can also help Xiaoqing find a safe and convenient place to live when she's discharged from the hospital."
Gao Tu couldn't agree directly, but Shen Wenlang personally brought people to supervise the move, so he had no choice but to obey.
