Shen Yao is the most expensive "Gong 0" in the industry. His pheromone is early spring white tea, and one gram is auctioned for a sky-high price.
Only he knew that the fragrance only opened the door to one person - Ji Lin.
Ji Lin is his nominal "brother", a venture capital upstart, a pheromone fir, like the wind above the snow line.
He pampered Shen Yao, indulged Shen Yao, and held the whole world in front of him, but he was always stingy with a complete mark.
"Just wait," he said, "and the time will come."
What Shen Yao was waiting for was that on the night of his father's funeral, Ji Lin was photographed hugging a strange Omega in New York;
He was suffering from high fever during estrus, and he was locked in the hotel alone for 12 hours. Ji Lin only said "I'm in a meeting";
It was the glands that opened for him time and time again, but he was rejected by "reason" time and time again.
Later, Shen Yao lay on the operating table and signed the consent form for gland removal.
The doctor asked: "Is there anything else you want to explain?"
He smiled: "Tell Ji Lin that I won - he finally had no time to say 'almost' again."
That night, the smell of white tea began to evaporate from the top floor of the hospital, and cold wind spread throughout the city.
When Ji Lin rushed back, he only had a blood-soaked gland and a plane ticket——
The date was April 26, the date of their first date, and the destination read:
"Don't be late again in your next life."
——"I hate that you don't love me enough, so I die first so that you will always owe me."
Purpose: Using glands as a metaphor to reveal the power asymmetry and emotional deprivation behind "one-way pampering": when the "complete mark" is postponed indefinitely, pampering becomes chronic. When Shen Yao removed his glands and left the scene to die, he regained his subjectivity through self-destruction, leaving Ji Lin's "reason" forever burdened with the guilt of being late - if love cannot be reciprocal, death will be used to settle the debt.
