The day before they returned back to their shoot, Song Yi visited his previous private hospital once more.​​

As a new omega, Song Yi desperately needed the help of a doctor.​​

The middle-aged female doctor handed him a stack of basic physiological data. “Take a good look at it. This inhibitor only delays the estrus period, but it cannot completely eliminate it.”

Song Yi lowered his head and read the materials carefully as his pale fingers thumbed through the pages.

The female doctor sighed regretfully. “If you take the inhibitor for too long, it will only cause the next estrus period to be more severe. This kind of thing can only be postponed, not stopped.”

“Can I have surgery to take care of it?” Song Yi had lingering fears about his previous sudden heat.​​

The female doctor shook her head and offered, “You can only find an alpha to help you.”

Song Yi was stunned. He lowered his head and continued to look at the document. “Thank you for the suggestion, I will consider it.”

Finding an alpha to mark him was the best solution to his irritable estrus, but Song Yi couldn’t overcome this hurdle in his heart. In the deepest part of his heart, he still thought he was an alpha.

The female doctor looked at him and took out a brand new business card from the folder on the table. “You can go to this AO helpline website to see. There are many alphas here who help omegas to solve their estrus period. It’s all anonymous. Your privacy will be protected.”

Song Yi took the business card and put it in his pocket, thanking her gratefully.​​

If it came down to it, he might have to use it.

Returning to Seaside City again, the filming of “The Era of Passionate Love” was nearing the end. As soon as Song Yi arrived on the set, he first went to Director Yang, and took out two Chinese brand cigarettes from the capital. He saw Director Yang smoking this before, and hence, offered these same items to him.

Director Yang was very happy to see him. During Song Yi’s absence, the young actors in the crew all caused him to go crazy with anger. Nowadays, the young actors were only getting more and more difficult to handle. Only Song Yi was the exception.

Song Yi made up for the remainder of his filming scenes. By afternoon, the crew had just finished work, and Song Yi was about to go to lunch when his phone rang suddenly.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was from Wen Suya.

“Suya, what’s the matter?” Song Yi asked politely.

Wen Suya hesitated and said cautiously, “Xiaoyi gege, Zhou Moquan is coming to visit my class today.”

Hearing this strange yet familiar name, Song Yi was slightly surprised. He understood what she was implying and laughed a little. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll be resting in the afternoon and won’t be with the crew. You both can have fun.”

Wen Suya explained anxiously, “I didn’t call him here on purpose. We are from the same company, but I’m not very familiar with him. He suddenly wants to visit me…”

“It’s okay, I’m very grateful for you informing me.” If it weren’t for this call, Song Yi would have run into Zhou Moquan.

Wen Suya was silent for a while. She then gathered up her courage and stated, “I believe you. You are not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding between you two.”

Song Yi was moved by her words and sincerely thanked her. “I’m very happy that you are willing to believe me.”

Wen Suya smiled shyly.

Song Yi found a nearby resort and asked for a bottle of cold juice. There, sitting under the umbrella and bathing in the brilliant sunshine of the seaside city, he had mixed feelings.​​

He took out his mobile phone and slid down to the notifications bar. A text message from three years ago was still lying quietly in the inbox.​​

Sender: [Zhou Moquan]

Information content: Go back to the hotel early. This good gege is here to celebrate your birthday and has prepared a super big surprise.

Song Yi smiled helplessly. It was really a big surprise; he had never been so surprised in his entire life before.

Three years ago, Song Yi just signed a contract with Star Entertainment. At that time, Zhou Moquan was still a small artist, popular yet not yet famous. Star Entertainment assigned Song Yi to this senior, hoping to let Song Yi rub shoulders with, bringing some sense of presence.​

Zhou Moquan was a very interesting person. He was a natural at engaging with people and held discerning eyes. In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, Zhou Moquan and Song Yi hit it off immediately and the two became very good friends.​​

Song Yi admired Zhou Moquan very much, he was always being able to talk about anything under the sun with him.

If that incident had not happened then, they would have been good lifelong friends.

Song Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath and suppressed the fluctuations in his heart. He leaned his head on the reclining chair, not wanting to think about such trouble. He had to get some rest first; there was still a scene to be filmed later that night.

While he was still in a daze, a dark shadow was cast on the top of his head. His arms felt some coolness.

Song Yi opened his confused eyes and saw a multi-colored water gun, the kind that children play with. Holding it was a healthy, honey-colored muscular arm.

Moving his eyes up… Song Yi calmly turned his face away.

Gu Xingchuan had on a pair of fashionable brown sunglasses on his high nose. He put away his water gun and sat down on the beach chair next to Song Yi. “Why don’t you go back to the hotel to sleep?”

Song Yi yawned. “Why ask for something you know?”

The matter between him and Zhou Moquan had long been exposed by the media.

Gu Xingchuan glanced at him. He laid side by side with Song Yi and casually asked, “Did he come to see you specifically?”

“No.” Song Yi rolled his eyes at him. What a rich imagination.

Gu Xingchuan frowned. “Does he like you?”

Song Yi lowered his face. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Answer my question.” Gu Xingchuan’s tone was firm, not tolerating any avoidance.

Song Yi glanced at him, unused to this young master’s temper. “It has nothing to do with you. Eat more salty radishes; worry less.”¹“咸吃萝卜淡操心” is a northern slang term. The pinyin is xián chī luó bo dàn cāo xīn, which literally means that when pickling dried radish, you must add more salt, so that it can be stored for a long time, and it is not easy to spoil. If you put too little, you will often worry about whether it will be damaged or not. It means that people who are nosy often do not understand the truth, but they are there to worry about and do a disservice. Therefore, this common saying is used to describe the nosy people who are not liked by others.

Gu Xingchuan abruptly sat up. He looked at Song Yi and raised his chin at him. “You don’t want to say it, because the two of you sought pleasure together before?”

Song Yi closed his eyes. His hand rose and pinched the bridge of his nose. What kind of question was this? “I can’t believe how you passed the math test with this logic of yours,”

he mocked back.

Gu Xingchuan froze. His eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses. He aggressively pressed on, “Last time you mentioned you had three boyfriends. One of them was him, right?”

Such a question that was totally unrelated, even an eight foot long pole could not even hit. Song Yi felt his head throbbing. He retorted back, “Why are you asking about this? Does it have anything to do with you?”

“It does. I just want to know.” Gu Xingchuan’s face was not red. His heart was not throbbing.

Song Yi gave an angry laugh. “Then you can choke on it. I won’t tell you.”

I’ll let you choke to death with it. You little brat, mind your own business!

Gu Xingchuan eyed him. He leapt to his feet, took a wide step and sat astride Song Yi’s lap as if no one else was there. With a savage and rude attitude, this nearly 1.9 meter tall, strong and sturdy body, pressed down onto Song Yi, leaving him unable to breath properly. Song Yi was both shocked and angry. He wanted to sit up, but due to his posture, his waist could not exert any force upwards. He could only push Gu Xingchuan’s shoulders in resistance. “What are you doing!?”

“Answer the question I asked you just now.” Gu Xingchuan firmly placed his arms around his neck, not letting go.

Song Yi’s head was on fire. He had never seen such a shameless person before. He really wanted to grab this person’s collar and throw him into the sea as sharkbait. “Are you sick?”

“Explain to me honestly.”

Gu Xingchuan moved closer to him. That hot breath rushed towards him, mixed with vigorous hormones, his steel-like body was close to Song Yi, and Song Yi could feel Gu Xingchuan’s warm body temperature through the thin fabric.

The most sinful thing was Gu Xingchuan’s arm that was hooked around his neck. The bulging blue veins on his arm were taut, full of masculine strength.

Song Yi gritted his teeth, uncomfortable yet he forced a calm expression. “If you get up, I’ll tell you.”

Gu Xingchuan sneered. His breath formed a thin layer of mist on Song Yi’s lens. He smoothly stretched out his thumb and wiped away the mist. “Do you think I’m an idiot? Quickly tell me.”

Song Yi secretly cursed at him, smacking away Gu Xingchuan’s hand. But this fellow did not put short term losses in his mind. Song Yi took a deep breath and replied, “No, we never got together. It was just a friendship.”

Satisfied, Gu Xingchuan narrowed his slender and beautiful eyes and issued an order, “You are not allowed to be friends with him, he is not a good person.”

In his heart, Song Yi wanted to inform him that he had ended their friendship a hundred and eighteen years ago. “I’ve told you already. Now get up!”

Gu Xingchuan glanced at him. He took off the obstructing sunglasses with one hand. Once he got an inch, he wanted a foot; so he asked, “What gender were the three boyfriends that you had²Concerning their secondary gender [alpha/beta/omega]? Do you still keep in touch?”

Song Yi’s patience was worn thin. He clenched his fists, his face gloomy. Gu Xingchuan saw it and he noted it. He slowly sat up from him and gave a lazy stretch. “The weather is really nice. Let’s go play ball?”

Song Yidao wanted to treat Gu Xingchuan’s head as a ball and kick it away. “Stay away from me.”

Gu Xingchuan’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, his sight was drawn to the back of Song Yi.

A complex look Song Yi had never seen before.
