The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 82

If Qin Huai were an outsider, unaware of the twists and turns in the video, and ignorant of Qin Zhijing’s true attitude toward Gu Qing these past few years, based solely on a single sentence, she really would have believed that Qin Zhijing harbored deep affection for his deceased omega.

However, the truth was not so.

Qin Huai half knelt in front of the old man, shifting her toes forward, one arm resting on the armrest, her eyes filled with deep struggle as she craned her neck. “Did you remember incorrectly? How could he?”

Qin Zhijing was a completely hypocritical alpha. For so many years, he didn’t even have the courage to tell Qin Huai the truth, always using grandiose excuses, shifting all responsibility onto Qin Huai. So how could he dedicate all his energy to Gu Qing, a dead woman?

Unless…

Qin Huai’s eyes widened, blue veins bulging on her forehead. “He wasn’t doing it for my mother, he was doing it for his own selfish desire.”

The old man seemed not to have expected Qin Huai to say this so frankly. He looked deeply at Qin Huai, and a deep wrinkle appeared as his lips tugged downwards.

Qin Huai was not content with merely resting her arm on the armrest; instead, she gripped it with her fingers. “Perhaps he didn’t love Gu Qing the person, but the glory Gu Qing achieved. Because this person was high and mighty, dazzling and radiant, so he had to pull this person down.”

The old man turned his face and lowered his eyes to look at the omega kneeling beside him. It was a face so similar to Gu Qing’s, but compared to the mother’s confidence and outgoing nature, the daughter was more introverted and stubborn.

The old man wondered what the reaction would be if the same event happened to this omega before him. He thought this and also asked the question aloud. “Little girl, if you were your mother back then, what would you have done?”

If she were Gu Qing back then, with a promising future ahead and success in sight for the inhibitor research, and was then forcibly taken and impregnated by an alpha exploiting the inhibitor’s side effects, how would she handle it?

Qin Huai had never thought about this problem, but she still lowered her eyes, calmly and carefully thought for a few seconds, and said with sharp eyes, “Go down fighting.”

This was the answer Qin Huai gave.

The old man was initially stunned, then burst into hearty laughter, a clear tear flowing from the corner of his eye as he laughed, a tear of nostalgia for Gu Qing. “If Gu Qing had thought that way back then, how many people would have stood in front of her to protect her.”

Qin Huai was taken aback for a moment, just about to speak, when the old man’s slightly storytelling voice came to her ears.

That morning, he was covering for the night shift security guard, sitting in the guard booth eating a few pan-fried buns he was holding. It was already August, and even getting up early in the morning would make his forehead sweat from the heat. The fan whirred, but the sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

As the security guard for the laboratory, he was proud because he knew the people in the lab were researching something very great. Once this thing was successfully researched, it would be a huge breakthrough for domestic biology.

He read the book in his hand, line by line, not missing a single word. The book was given to him by the lab’s leader, Gu Qing. She was afraid he wouldn’t understand and had even made markings inside.

Just after he turned a page, a rush of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front of the guard booth, followed by the beeping sound of the gate.

This laboratory had extremely high security. Everyone needed to swipe their card to enter or exit. Researchers who usually didn’t have their cards had to sign in with him.

He pulled himself away from the book and looked at the person standing at the entrance, then frowned.

The alpha in front of him was in his early twenties, looked refined and upright, and exuded a strong scholarly aura. But unlike the other people in the lab who were full of vitality, this alpha had a more gloomy temperament.

He had never really liked this alpha. Unlike his usual meticulousness, the alpha was now standing at the exit gate, disheveled, hair messy, eyes red rimmed, with a subtle hint of frantic joy in his eyes.

Even if he disliked him, Qin Zhijing was a member of the lab. He could only suppress the displeasure in his heart, stand up, and shout through the window, “Didn’t bring your card?”

The other party did not answer.

He patiently asked again. This time, Qin Zhijing finally snapped back to attention, adjusting his glasses with a slight awkwardness. “Yes. Please open it for me.”

“Then step back.” He reminded him, then retreated and pressed the internal switch.

The gate opened wide, and the alpha quickly stepped out.

He stared at the alpha’s hurried back, shook his head, and continued to read the book in front of him. He wasn’t reading this book hastily, but combining it with Gu Qing’s notes. Gu Qing’s thoughts were clear, and the words written in the blank spaces were definitely not nonsense. The more he read, the more he admired Gu Qing.

About an hour later, another set of footsteps passed by the entrance of the guard booth. However, compared to those decisive footsteps, these ones sounded a bit dragging.

He looked up again, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In his eyes, Gu Qing was cheerful and talkative, dressed generously and appropriately, like a little sun warming everyone. But the Gu Qing in front of him seemed to be the antithesis of that Gu Qing silent, disheveled, hair messy, red streaks around her eyes, her gaze somewhat dull.

He immediately stood up and walked out of the guard booth. “Xiao Gu, what’s wrong?”

Because Gu Qing didn’t like others calling her ‘Teacher’ and specifically told the elders to call her ‘Xiao Gu,’ saying it sounded closer, like family. Over time, everyone got used to it.

Hearing someone call her, Gu Qing instinctively looked up, then quickly lowered her head again as if remembering something, like a startled bird.

Even though Gu Qing’s movement was quick, he still saw it, and this time he saw it more clearly. Gu Qing’s eyes had lost their usual clarity, becoming timid and weak.

“Xiao Gu, what happened to you?” He was a beta and couldn’t smell the pheromones in the air.

Gu Qing waved her hand, “It’s nothing, Uncle. Please open the door for me, I have something to go back for first.”

He thought Gu Qing was just feeling unwell, so he went back to the guard booth and pressed the gate switch. Watching Gu Qing’s retreating back, he even told her to rest well.

“I even told her to rest well,” the old man said, clear wrinkles forming on his forehead.

Actually, many things he didn’t realize at the time, but after a long time, it became clear.

After that incident, Gu Qing seemed like a different person. She no longer greeted them, joked around, and there were no longer crowds of people around her. She increasingly preferred to be alone and increasingly liked rainy days.

The last time he saw Gu Qing was at the lab. The rain was heavy that day. Large amounts of water poured down through the eaves, and even standing at the entrance couldn’t prevent the rain from soaking one’s body. He was planning to call home and make do with staying at the lab for the night when he suddenly saw the figure in the rain.

Very distraught.

This was his first assessment after Gu Qing entered. She was covered in water, her hair clinging wetly to her cheeks, and shallow puddles formed on the dry floor because of her arrival.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment when the clean towel was handed to her, then she took it. “Thank you, Uncle.”

“You’re welcome.” He smiled, pointing to the weather outside. “With such heavy rain, wait a while before going back, otherwise you might catch a cold and have to take medicine. Cold medicine has big side effects, and it would take you at least a few days to recover.”

Older people always like to nag. As he spoke, he poured some hot water from a thermos into a disposable cup and handed it over.

Her whole body was cold, especially her eyes, which were watery and stinging. Gu Qing took the cup of water, warming her hands, and remained silent.

“You can call a car here and take a taxi back later,” he said.

Gu Qing sat down on the stool, staring at the trees outside being lashed by the rain, blinked, and said, “Uncle, can pregnant women get caught in the rain?”

“Of course not.” He also had children and had taken care of his wife during her confinement month. He knew how precious a pregnant woman’s body was.

“Oh.” Gu Qing took a sip of the hot water and continued to stare out the window.

This memory always reappeared in the old man’s mind when he was idle. At the time, he thought it was a girl’s casual remark, but he didn’t expect that she was already pregnant with a child at that time, and even less did he expect that she would disappear after a while.

The old man gently stroked Qin Huai’s face, his eyes full of nostalgia. “Gu Qing was already pregnant with you at that time.”

Qin Huai did not reject the old man’s touch. She even moved her toes and leaned closer. “Grandpa, you just said Qin Zhijing researched the inhibitor for my mother. What’s that all about?”

Hearing the name Qin Zhijing, the old man’s eyes immediately became disgusted. “He’s just a jerk who ruined your mother’s life.”

After Gu Qing disappeared, the lab seemed to enter a stagnation phase, relying on Zhou Yue to keep it going for a while, but eventually it fell apart.

He was unemployed at that time and was introduced to another lab to work as a security guard. People are like that: once they’ve seen the best, they tend to look down on other things. When others asked him about his previous lab, he told them truthfully, his tone filled with undisguised pride.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, an old employee leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Don’t mention the name Gu Qing anymore.”

“Why?”

The old employee: “Our boss doesn’t like it.”

He didn’t care at first. After all, Gu Qing’s excellence was obvious to all, but he couldn’t stand someone avoiding Gu Qing like this. “What’s the boss’s name?”

“Qin Zhijing.” This time, the voice was a bit louder than before.

He was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it. “What name did you say?”

“Qin Zhijing.” After the old employee finished speaking, he looked around and, finding no one, shared the gossip. “Our boss is working on a great research project. If this research succeeds, human civilization will definitely advance. And our boss will definitely be remembered by history.”

“What research?”

“That’s research to prevent omegas from entering estrus.” The old employee’s eyes shone as he said this.

After speaking, he quickly left, leaving him standing there alone, unable to recover for a long time.
