Harmony of Souls in a Modern World Chapter 7

On Saturday morning, the hospital called and reminded Marcus Tong to go get the results.

It has been more than half a month since the pheromone treatment. How well she has recovered depends on the results of the examination. She will also need a doctor's certificate when she reports to school on Monday. After all, this was a decisive factor in the original decision to get married.

Connor Tong had just returned from a business trip and had nothing to do for the time being, so he stayed at home idle on the weekend. Originally, Marcus Tong didn't want him to accompany him, but Connor Tong insisted, and in the end, the two of them went out together.

The results of the examination were as expected. Marcus Tong's stress disorder was reduced from severe sensitivity to level two sensitivity. The doctor gave him a certificate to enroll in school. However, as a member of the sensitive group, he needed to wear a warning sign when appearing in public places, such as school, for his own safety and to avoid causing unrest, until he was fully recovered.

After seeing the doctor, the two walked out. Connor Tong flipped through a few pages of paper in his hand. He was happy in his heart, but he said in a shameless way: "It's almost done, my dear Didi, this marriage is not in vain."

Without waiting for Marcus Tong to refute, he freed his hands and rubbed Marcus Tong's head vigorously: "You behaved well in the hospital today."

Marcus Tong was hurt by him and struggled to get away, but he grabbed her arm and put the doctor's badge around her neck.

This warning sign is familiar to everyone. It is most commonly seen in schools. It is the same model as the work ID card and access card, but the border is red. It will reflect fluorescence under the light at night. The words "Sensitive People" are written on the interlayer, reminding the surrounding alpha astringent pheromones.

Marcus Tong couldn't resist and could only stuff the brand into his thin coat. Connor Tong didn't care this time. When Marcus Tong was about to enter the bedroom after returning home, he said seriously: "You can't hide it at school. You have to wear it properly, understand?"

Marcus Tong said, "I know."

"Little brat." Connor Tong sneered, "I'm going out for a while this afternoon, and I'm afraid I'll be back late at night. Eat by yourself, pack your things, and I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" Marcus Tong asked, "School starts the day after tomorrow."

Connor Tong had already turned around and walked a few steps, but when he heard the words, he turned back and looked at Marcus Tong with a smile: "Come here."

"What?" Marcus Tong didn't listen to him.

Connor Tong glared: "I told you to come over here!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly!" Marcus Tong also glared, but he moved closer in three steps while glaring, "What are you doing?"

Connor Tong looked down at him, trying hard not to laugh: "What did you say to me last night?"

Marcus Tong thought that he was insane because his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but the distance was too close, so he did not dare to say anything in the end and could only criticize him in his heart.

"...Hugging once doesn't count as a temporary mark." After organizing his words for a while, Connor Tong said, "I called Sebastian Zhuo this morning. Where's your brain?"

Marcus Tong was stunned for a moment: "Why are you calling him?"

"Nonsense, it's only been a few days, and he dared to 'temporarily mark' you. Why shouldn't I go find him?" Connor Tong said, feeling both angry and amused. "Where was the physiology class?"

Although it is called temporary marking and the degree of intimacy is much less than that of a formal marking, it is still a bit too much for Marcus Tong now.

Connor Tong knew that his family sent his younger brother over because they wanted to ask Sebastian Zhuo for a humanitarian favor based on the marriage between the two families to do business. Although he always teased Marcus Tong without any restraint, the boundaries in his heart were always clear: Marcus Tong was only eighteen, he had not finished his studies, and he was still a child whose hair had not fully grown, while Sebastian Zhuo was already twenty-seven. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had experienced a lot. Although he had a good reputation, in terms of feelings, if there was really anything wrong, it was obvious that Marcus Tong was at a disadvantage.

So he never thought that Marcus Tong would really have anything with Sebastian Zhuo, nor did he think that the two of them could have anything. But there was nothing, they had only known each other for a few days? You marked him right away, wasn't that a hooligan? Could Connor Tong let someone do something rude to Marcus Tong?

There is a big age gap between him and Marcus Tong. In addition, his mother passed away due to an acute illness, and Marcus Tong is an omega. The two brothers are close in their hearts, but there is still a distance between them when getting along with each other. It is impossible for him to say words of protection to his child face to face.

But when outsiders bullied Marcus Tong, he never showed mercy.

Thanks to his understanding of Sebastian Zhuo's character, he did not question him before he got through on the phone. After a few casual greetings, Sebastian Zhuo happened to mention that Marcus Tong had gone to get the test results today.

It turned out that Marcus Tong had to go see a doctor today, and there was no alpha with him. She was afraid that something might be wrong with him, so she held him for a while longer to get him used to it in advance, and also brought some pheromones to comfort him.

Connor Tong didn't embarrass himself this way.

"It's going to be like this from now on. Stay at home on Fridays and Saturdays, and go over on weekend afternoons." Connor Tong finished making the arrangements and walked out, saying, "Little brat."

Um...it turns out it's not a temporary mark...

If it’s not a temporary mark, then it’s not a temporary mark. Marcus Tong didn’t realize for the time being that he almost put the blame on Sebastian Zhuo, but he was about to leave home again, and he was a little reluctant.

Now Sebastian Zhuo is not so strange to him. He is not a marriage partner. He calls him brother but they are not related by blood. Maybe he can be considered half a friend, but at what level is he a "friend"?

No one would stay at a friend's house all the time on school days, and the age difference between the two was there. It was also a fact that Sebastian Zhuo was much more mature than Marcus Tong both physically and mentally. Marcus Tong couldn't really treat him as a friend who could be treated as easily as his peers.

It’s true that I felt Sebastian Zhuo was so good when we just separated yesterday, and it’s also true that now that a day has passed, I don’t want to leave home anymore.

Sebastian Zhuo called in the evening and asked about his visit to the hospital. Marcus Tong was still depressed and said a few words. Sebastian Zhuo said, "Your brother said he will send you back tomorrow. Do you know what time it is?"

Marcus Tong said: "I don't know, he didn't say."

"Probably at night," he added smartly, "there should be something during the day."

"That's fine." Sebastian Zhuo said, "I have to meet someone in the morning, so you can sleep a little longer. I'll pick you up at noon."
