After half an hour, Bao Wen took the printed out results of the examination and walked back to them.

“The results are better than I imagined.” Bao Wen smiled. It seemed that the results weren’t really that bad. “Although your heat isn’t yet regular, the concentration of your pheromones has already dropped from your previous irregular fluctuation condition.”

“En.” Mo Lingqiu flipped through the printed report. The curve was indeed lower than before.

“Well, the marking was still useful. You guys should interact like that more.” Bao Wen stopped and looked at Jiang Chenming. “Your pheromones are normal. There’s not much of a difference from last time.”

“Okay.” Instead of his own results, Jiang Chenming cared more about Mo Lingqiu’s results, since he was the one with a more serious condition. 

“Oh, yeah, neither of you should interact with people of other genders for now, especially if they would purposely release pheromones to induce heat,” Bao Wen reminded them. “Particularly you, Jiang Chenming. If you interact with other omegas and they leave their pheromones on you, Lingqiu will be uncomfortable. He won’t say it, but he definitely won’t feel good in his heart.”

Mo Lingqiu frowned. He wasn’t quite satisfied with what Bao Wen had said at the end. He also felt embarrassed, like his secret had been exposed. “I won’t.”

Bao Wen ignored him and said, “Anyways, take note of it. Don’t let others get a hold on you.”

Jiang Chenming promised, “I won’t. I don’t like other people.”

That meant he liked Mo Lingqiu. Mo Lingqiu was wise, so, of course, he heard what he had meant. He turned his head, not wanting to pay attention to either of them anymore, especially Bao Wen who treated teasing him as a source of joy.

Bao Wen’s sight circled between the two of them. After a while, he hooked an arm around Mo Lingqiu’s neck and warned him, “Lingqiu, it seems that your parents are coming back soon.”

Mo Lingqiu immediately turned his head back. “When?”

“They didn’t say the exact date. They only said that they’re coming back soon and that they have something to talk to you about.” Bao Wen saw Mo Lingqiu frown and quickly explained, “I didn’t tell your parents about what happened recently, so don’t worry.”

“…Thank you.” Mo Lingqiu breathed out a sigh of relief. If his parents knew about Jiang Chenming, they might instantly ask Mo Lingqiu to bring him home.

“It’s okay.” Bao Wen waved his hands and laughed. “I’ll send the check-up results to you in three days through the mail so that you guys don’t need to come back here.”

“Sure.” Bao Wen’s clinic was indeed a bit too far. Although they had a car, it was still troublesome to drive back and forth.

“Then, I’ll contact you after that.”

After they returned from Bao Wen’s clinic, Mo Lingqiu kept thinking about his parents coming back. He still had Jiang Chenming’s temporary mark, and it would stay for a month. If his parents came back soon, he definitely wouldn’t be able to find an explanation.

But, to be frank, the more a person dreaded something, the more likely it was to happen.

Mo Lingqiu received the report the next day. He went to the supermarket with Jiang Chenming to buy some vegetables since they planned to eat Mala hotpot that night.

“Is that enough?” Jiang Chenming originally wanted to buy more meat.

“If it’s not enough for you, then you can add noodles in?” Mo Lingqiu had a normal appetite, but Jiang Chenming could eat more since much of his energy had been spent during his daytime training.
