It's not wrong that she likes girls.
But that world didn't allow her to like girls; actually, they were wrong.
Liang Shi pressed his temples; his head was throbbing with pain.
A moment later, a nurse came in, glanced at the patient, and hurried out. "Dr. Zhao, the patient has woken up."
Liang Shi leaned against the bed, but his mind was on Xu Qingzhu.
That Omega is going to suffer inhuman torment if she follows that scumbag Alpha Liang Shi. What did she do wrong?
Thinking about these things, she felt inexplicably choked up.
A moment later, Dr. Zhao, whom the nurse had mentioned, entered the ward. She was wearing a white coat, had a cold expression, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, which just revealed the beauty mark under her right eye. Her hair was casually tied into a low ponytail.
With her hands in her white coat pockets, she glanced around casually, adjusted the IV drip rate, and looked down at Liang Shi. "Does your head hurt?"
For some reason, Liang Shi sensed disgust in her voice.
Or rather, she never even considered hiding her emotions.
"It doesn't hurt," Liang Shi replied gently.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuning casually scribbled something on the medical record, then looked at her in astonishment.
That's not right.
How could the spoiled and domineering eldest daughter of the Liang family speak so gently?
Zhao Xuning looked away and asked again, "Where does it hurt?"
Liang Shi frowned, and after a while, she raised her hand to touch the area behind her left ear. "Here."
Since she woke up, that spot has been a little sore, but not to the point of being unbearable.
"Oh." Zhao Xuning said indifferently, "It's normal to feel pain."
Liang Shi asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Logically speaking, she should have hit her head or limbs, so why is it that only the area behind her ear is still hurting?
“It’s only natural that an Alpha would feel pain after having their glands removed,” Zhao Xuning said barbedly, making his lie sound convincing. His hands, however, didn’t stop; he secretly observed Liang Shi’s expression and physical condition, marking line after line in the medical record.
Glands?
Liang Shi was shocked.
This thing didn't exist in her original world; it was just a normal human world.
However, she had read many novels with an ABO worldview, so she was quite familiar with these concepts. Only in the ABO worldview, where humans differentiate into Alpha, Beta, and Omega, would Alphas and Omegas develop glands.
And she is an Alpha?
In other words, she is still in the book "Sweet Love".
For some reason, Liang Shi's first reaction was not nervousness, but relief.
"What about Xu Qingzhu?" Liang Shi asked anxiously. "Was she injured?"
Zhao Xuning: "...?"
Perhaps because Zhao Xuning's expression was too surprised, Liang Shi suddenly realized that his words had aroused suspicion.
The original owner of this body was a scumbag Alpha, and it was common knowledge that she treated Xu Qingzhu terribly. So, her question now seems contradictory, or perhaps she has ulterior motives towards Xu Qingzhu.
Thinking of this, she immediately shut up.
“She’s still unconscious.” Zhao Xuning’s voice grew even colder at the mention of Xu Qingzhu. She looked at Liang Shi with undisguised disgust. “Omegas are very vulnerable during their heat cycle. Forcibly marking an Omega would be detrimental to the Omega’s future fertility and would cause serious physical trauma. However…”
Zhao Xuning paused, then scoffed, "Why would you, Miss Liang, care?"
Liang Shi pursed his lips.
She couldn't explain to anyone that she was no longer the Liang Shi she knew, nor could she prove that she hadn't done those things in the past.
In other people's eyes, she was the one who humiliated Xu Qingzhu and even tried to forcibly mark an Omega in heat.
"I'm sorry," Liang Shi apologized gently. "I will explain to Xu Qingzhu myself when she wakes up."
"Whatever you want." Zhao Xuning leaned over and examined her glands from a distance. They were red, from being scratched by the Alpha who was going crazy during his sensitive period last night, so pain was inevitable.
"Observe for another day, and if there are no problems, you can be discharged from the hospital," Zhao Xuning said.
Liang Shi nodded, "Oh."
oh?
Zhao Xuning frowned in surprise. Liang Shi's attitude today was really strange; he was so...gentle.
This gentleness doesn't seem feigned; it's more like a politeness, humility, and tenderness that's ingrained in one's very being.
It wasn't the first time she had known Liang Shi.
"Liang Shi." Zhao Xuning put down his pen and suddenly asked, "Do you still remember who I am?"
Liang Shi looked up at her, his eyes clear and asking politely, "Excuse me." She scratched the back of her head, "I can't quite remember."
"Amnesia?" Zhao Xuning reached out and touched her forehead. "Can an Alpha lose their memory during their vulnerable period?"
Seeing that Liang Shi's expression didn't seem fake, she turned around and instructed the nurse, "Arrange for her to have a brain CT scan."
"Thank you," Liang Shi said.
Zhao Xuning: "..."
If Zhao Xuning hadn't been so composed since childhood, his jaw would probably have dropped when he heard these words.
She had known Liang Shi since she was ten years old, and she knew him all too well what kind of scoundrel he was. She would never say "thank you" to Miss Liang.
but……
Zhao Xuning was surprised to hear her earnest thanks.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Liang Shi, however, did not find anything wrong with it.
Although the other party's attitude was bad, it was clear that the two were old acquaintances, and there was a reason why the other party misunderstood her. However, she could not continue to live the original owner's lifestyle indefinitely; it was too uncomfortable.
She will definitely have to be herself again.
Pretending to have amnesia during this time is not a bad idea.
"I'd like to ask," Liang Shiwen said gently, politely inquiring, "Which ward is Xu Qingzhu in?"
"What do you care which ward she's in?" Zhao Xuning retorted instinctively, but realized his tone was inappropriate afterward. He pursed his lips, and a moment later, he left the ward.
However, after she left the ward, the nurse behind her whispered, "Ms. Xu is on the tenth floor, room 1002."
Liang Shi smiled gently, "Thank you."
The nurse, a Beta, was overjoyed to see the beautiful Miss Liang smiling at her. Her heart fluttered, and she blushed shyly, saying, "You're welcome."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Liang Shi stopped laughing.
She looked out the window. The city was filled with towering buildings, the sky was blue, and the scenery was beautiful. An airplane roared past overhead, leaving a trail of gray smoke.
A moment later, Liang Shi made a decision: she would live a good life in this world.
She pieced together the fragments in her mind and found that she knew very little, and that she needed to explore everything.
When she searched for Xu Qingzhu online, the first result was their wedding announcement.
Their wedding was held in a low-key manner because the Xu family business was in crisis, and Liang Shi only wanted to get her and did not attach great importance to it.
Even so, many media outlets still reported on this matter.
Because Xu Qingzhu has the title of "the number one Omega in the sea".
The reason is simply this: they are good-looking.
Few people can perfectly capture the essence of aloofness and beauty, but Xu Qingzhu can.
In fact, she is one of the best among them.
Her eyes were cold, but her appearance was stunningly beautiful.
When she was in college, someone took a picture of her and posted it online, which quickly attracted the admiration of many Alphas.
Later, Xu's father felt it was not good and spent a lot of money to remove her photos from the internet, but Xu Qingzhu's appearance was the kind that you would never forget after seeing it once.
Xu Qingzhu has a huge online following, but she has not become a celebrity.
In the year she graduated from university, due to a crisis in her family's business, she chose to marry Liang Shi to save the company, and then stayed at home as a full-time housewife.
After checking, Liang Shi was still worried about Xu Qingzhu, so he got out of bed, put on his slippers, and went to the tenth floor.
The body seemed to have a memory of the hospital and found the ward very easily.
Standing at the door of room 1002, she hesitated, unsure how to face Xu Qingzhu.
I should tell her: Actually, I'm not that Liang Shi.
She would either be sent to a psychiatric evaluation center or to a state secret agency for autopsy.
As she was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind her, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."
Liang Shi turned around and saw Bai Weiwei, Xu Qingzhu's best friend. She was wearing a white suit, and Zhao Xuning was following behind her.
"Haven't you done enough to Zhu Zi? What else do you want to do?" Bai Weiwei condemned her righteously. "We all believed you would treat Zhu Zi well when we married her to you, but look at what you've done!"
Liang Shi lowered his head, appearing as if he would let her scold him.
Bai Weiwei rolled her eyes. "Miss Liang, stop playing the victim. You always act like this after bullying Zhu Zi. Do you think this will make Zhu Zi change her mind? Let me tell you, it's impossible. This time, once Zhu Zi wakes up, you two will definitely get a divorce."
Liang Shi pursed his lips. "I'm sorry."
"Heh." Bai Weiwei scoffed, but Zhao Xuning walked into the ward.
Meanwhile, Xu Qingzhu sat on the bed with her eyes open in the ward, as quiet as a fragile doll.
Bai Weiwei spotted Xu Qingzhu at a glance and immediately ran into the ward. "Zhuzi, how are you? Are you alright?"
Xu Qingzhu gave a weak smile, shook her head at her, and reassured her, "I'm fine."
Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were clear and bright, yet carried an unapproachable coldness. After comforting Bai Weiwei, she looked up at the door and met Liang Shi's gaze.
