last love

Fu Xiaoyu couldn't help being stunned by Xu Jiale's actions.

He hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just ate all the shrimp that Xu Jiale had peeled before.

Fu Xiaoyu ate very slowly, taking small bites, she didn't know if she was concerned about face, or because she was afraid of eating too much.

While Xu Jiale was chatting as usual, his hands were not idle. Seeing that Fu Xiaoyu had finished eating, he naturally continued to peel one by one, and after a while, another hill was piled up on the plate.

But Fu Xiaoyu quickly put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. He turned his head and drank reservedly without interrupting. Omega was wearing a milky white sweater, with only gray gradient markings around the neck, the design looked a lot like a puppet cat.

Xu Jiale glanced at him, but didn't bother to ask any more questions.

He didn't think much about taking care of Fu Xiaoyu at first, but thought that if Omega's hand was pierced, it would definitely hurt to peel the shrimp, so he did it for him by the way. Now that he didn't eat it, he simply didn't peel it—eat it by himself.

The conversation still revolved around pregnancy and parenting. Xu Jiale asked while eating shrimp: "Wen Ke, have you two received your certificate yet? Actually, the time of the wedding is not that important. There will be time to prepare after you have recovered your figure after giving birth."

The dining table suddenly fell silent, Han Jiangque didn't speak, and Wen Ke couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

The somewhat gray and fuzzy area between the two of them was suddenly stepped on like this, and they didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

But Xu Jiale is so sensitive, as soon as the atmosphere changed, he quickly realized something was wrong, he immediately pushed his glasses and looked at Han Jiangque: "Han Jiangque, after asking for so long, it turns out that you are not a formal father. ?”

Although his tone was joking, this sentence obviously meant a bit of questioning.

Wen Ke smiled immediately, touched Xu Jiale's cup with his cup, and said, "Aren't we all reserve dads? There are too many things to learn."

He quickly recovered from the embarrassment just now, and his tone was as gentle as usual.

When Xu Jiale saw Wen Ke say that, his eyes couldn't help being a little complicated, but he immediately cooperated with Wen Ke and raised his glass to touch it, drank the rest of the red wine in one gulp, and didn't say anything more.

"..." Han Jiangque kept holding his chopsticks in silence, his lips parted slightly, but in the end he still didn't speak.

……

After the meal, Fu Xiaoyu dragged Han Jiangque into the room, saying that he had something to talk about.

Wen Ke and Xu Jiale pulled up two chairs and sat behind the sliding door of the balcony, watching the snow scene outside through a layer of glass——

Sega's real estate is built on a mountain, so looking over it like this, you can vaguely see the fireworks in the city center blooming in the night sky from time to time.

Fireworks are set off in City B every New Year's Eve. Red, gold, and green lights shine together in the night sky, transforming into different shapes, and then sprinkle the light finely... like a river of stars.

Wen Ke remembers that when he was young, there were always stars hanging in the night sky in that small northern city, and he would open the shabby curtains at night, lie on the bed and look at the sky.

At that time, when I learned "twinkle twinkle twinkle glitter", I really looked up and understood what it meant.

But later in the noisy and bustling City B, he rarely saw the stars again.

"Xu Jiale, is it hard to see the stars in big cities?"

Wen Ke suddenly asked.

"Well, maybe it's because of light pollution."

"That's right..." Wen Ke repeated in a murmur, then sighed and said, "Fortunately, we can still have fireworks."

After saying this, for some reason, I also felt a little down.

This is probably the mentality of an adult. The starry sky he saw when he looked up when he was young no longer exists, but he will no longer feel so sad about this matter——

What a small thing compared to every little achievement in a busy life.

It was the sudden realization of his "not caring" that made him suddenly feel melancholy.

During this period of time, his pace has been walking very fast, and sometimes it is difficult to realize the changes in himself.

After Han Jiangque made out with him last night, he lay on the bed warmly.

Alpha hugged him, and asked him coquettishly if he wanted to lie down and watch "Swordsman" together like before.

However, Wen Ke wanted to watch the progress of the last love project before going to bed, so she said naturally: "I watched it together so many times before, and I have memorized the plot, let's not watch it now."

So Han Jiangque didn't insist anymore.

Even though it was such a small thing, it suddenly came to mind, and when I think about it now, I feel so regretful for some reason.

When Han Jiangque moved to Sega, he brought the complete set of four "Swordsman" with him. It has been ten years, and perhaps this is still his favorite book.

Wen Ke remembered that when they were in high school, they leaned together to watch Xiaoao Jianghu. When he finished reading a whole page, Han Jiangque was still slowing down the fifth line, and he waited quietly, watching the young Alpha quietly while waiting. Beautiful profile.

Han Jiangque's memory is poor, and often on the second day, he suddenly starts to have doubts about the plot again, and then asks him over and over again:

"Wen Ke, is Tian Boguang a bad guy?"

"Wen Ke, who is Mo Da? Which are the three Dings of Hengshan?"

"Wen Ke, Junior Sister...do you really dislike Linghu Chong?"

The last question has always been Han Jiangque's favorite question, the whole "Swordsman", this is what he cares about the most, and it seems to be something he has never figured out.

At that time, Wen Ke was never impatient.

He helped Han Jiangque remember those complicated relationships between the characters, and pondered over and over strange questions with him. The rivers and lakes in that story seemed to him familiar to every mountain and every river.

What Han Jiangque had forgotten, he helped him find it over and over again.

But now he can take it for granted and say to Han Jiangque: I've memorized it all, don't read it.

At that moment, Wen Ke vaguely remembered a sentence that he didn't know where to read:

The rivers and lakes are not like when I came, nor am I when I came.

I am not when I came.

……

两个人多少都有点心事，所以都很安静，文珂用手抱着保温杯听着外面隐约的喧嚣声，过了一会儿才轻声说：“许嘉乐，你别太担心我。”

"I didn't mention it much just now."

Xu Jiale also looked at the sky, and said after a while: "But Wen Ke, I really don't understand—why don't you get married? During the meal just now, when he mentioned this, he stopped talking. If he didn't mention it, you wouldn't either." carry?"

"I know……"

Wen Ke said: "Before, I vaguely mentioned to him that I wanted to meet his family or something, but he changed the topic. I, I can feel that he is more or less avoiding this matter. Yes."

"To be honest, I don't think this is a normal Alpha state."

Xu Jiale said bluntly.

"I know you are on my side and worry about me."

Wen Ke paused here, and finally looked at the sky and said: "But Xu Jiale, I... I didn't ask him to mark me. We had a fight about this a while ago, and he wanted to officially mark me, but I refused."

Xu Jiale took a breath and sat up straight. He opened his mouth, but finally held back the words.

"I don't know how to tell you, but sometimes, I can't help but think that I haven't given everything to him myself, so it's completely reasonable for him, if he wants to hold back on me."

Wen Ke murmured.

"You mean..."

Xu Jiale said in a deep voice: "Do you think that Han Jiangque's intentional refusal to mention marriage is taking revenge on you for not letting him mark this matter?"

"Not revenge."

Wen Ke shook his head: "Han Jiangque doesn't think so. But he might..."

"He might be a little mad at me."

He didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh softly.

Of course, it's not that he hasn't mentioned that he wants to see Han Jiangque's family members, but such requests have been distracted, and the feeling is somewhat hurt, but because of the marking, he really can't face it with confidence. Han Jiangque asked because he didn't give Han Jiangque the promise he wanted.

He has been pregnant for several months, and his belly is so big, but he has never even seen Alpha's family members. Just thinking about this matter makes him feel very sad, but it is hard to tell anyone.

"I just wanted to..."

Wen Ke lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I want to do my best to treat him well. I will give him everything except the mark. When he gradually feels relieved and trusts me... he, he will be able to mention it to me. So I won't force him, so don't mention it, Xu Jiale, okay?"
