As the ringing stopped abruptly, the surroundings became quiet again, only the wind blew across the street and rustled the fallen leaves. In this silence, Yu Bing held the phone that was no longer vibrating. For some reason, she suddenly regretted the impulse just now. .

On the contrary, Ji Yang looked back at him, and was about to speak when he saw that the other party frowned slightly, looking down in confusion. After a while, Yu Bing raised his head and nodded at him apologetically: "Sorry, excuse me .”

After finishing speaking, he took the mobile phone and walked a few steps away from his back, and dialed back along the call record just now.

The other party answered in seconds. After the busy tone, You Ye's lazy voice came from the phone: "...I thought it was such a coincidence that I caught up with you for a meeting."

"...Accidentally pressed the wrong button just now," Yu Bing said vaguely, "What's the matter?"

"It's...it's nothing." Omega on the other side of the phone quietly grasped the phone, and asked casually, "I just wanted to ask you...uh, when will you be back?"

Seeing that tomorrow is the other party's birthday, You Ye has already prepared everything in advance, but it has been a long time since the protagonist appeared on the stage. He was a little anxious, so he couldn't help calling to ask... But maybe he controlled his emotions too well, and his tone was so unexpected. Can't hear the slightest anxiety.

"The plane tomorrow afternoon should be able to get home in the evening." Yu Bing calculated the time: "It's about ** o'clock."

"okay, I get it."

It's a bit late, but I've caught up anyway, haven't I?After all, work is important, and You Ye can't force the other party to change the contract, so he can only comfort himself in his heart... Taking a deep breath, he silently counted the unfinished work in his hand, and planned to work hard tonight while working overtime. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

As soon as Yu Bing turned around here, he met Ji Yang's lonely eyes. The latter turned his face away as if dodging, and said in a low voice: "...Speaking of which, I haven't had time to congratulate you..."

The matter of You Ye had been in the news several times, and it was always the headlines. It is impossible for Ji Yang to be unaware... He just felt a little bit hard to accept it all at once.

So much so that even the phone note left by You Ye, he never called it once, but he was reluctant to throw it away, and put it in his wallet without embarrassment... Now it seems that it is just another self-indulgence.

"We..." Seeing his sudden silence, Yu Bing was also a little embarrassed, but he couldn't explain much, so he coughed lightly: "Go ahead... You are not, I still want to see the previous ones." Elementary school?"

Ji Yang shook his head, "It's been demolished and moved to another place..." He glanced at the direction of the residential building not far away, where he and his mother used to live together, but now they are so strange.

Things are different, and that's probably the case.

"Let's go," at the end, Ji Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the handsome Alpha in front of him: "I'm a little hungry."

He finally chose to return to City A with Yu Bing.

Having been away from home for many years, Ji Yang's roots are no longer in his hometown, not to mention he is like a duckweed drifting with the tide, where he goes and where he stays depends on when the waves of fate subside...

The gravity of the landing of the plane woke up the sleeping Yu Bing. He took off the blindfold and barely checked the time on the phone, which showed 07:30.

Ji Yang, who had escaped from Chen Wenfu, had no place to live for the time being, so Yu Bing lent him a single dormitory under the name of the company in the urban area to live temporarily. After coming out of the airport, he asked the driver to drop Ji Yang off first. Going there, the result was that there was a traffic jam on the road, and they were forced to take a detour elsewhere, which wasted a lot of time.On the way, he happened to pass near the high school, and Ji Yang saw the renovated hotpot restaurant on the street corner at a glance, and he pulled him and said he wanted to have a meal.

After his mother died, Ji Yang had been in a bad mood. This was the first time he showed a slightly relaxed expression. Yu Bing hesitated, and finally followed him out of the car.

He asked the driver to find a place nearby to rest and stop by the way, while he followed Ji Yang into the store.

After so many years, the old store has taken on a new look. Not only has the signboard changed, but the interior decoration has also become a lot more avant-garde. The two took their numbers and sat on chairs outside the store.Ji Yang looked at the bustling streets, and there were many students in school uniforms, feeling a little emotional for a while: "This place doesn't seem to have changed..."

Yu Bing hummed, and suddenly remembered that You Ye had mentioned this place, so she couldn't help but glance at the electronic clock on the wall, and found that it was almost nine o'clock.

He wanted to make a call to You Ye, but he searched his pocket but couldn't find the phone. He thought for a while that he might have left it in the car, and was about to borrow the phone from Ji Yang to ask the driver to pick it up, just in time for the boss to call his number...

"Happy birthday."

After ordering the dishes, Yu Bing had just washed the dishes and put them away, when he heard such a sentence unexpectedly, he raised his head in confusion: "...what?"

"Today is your birthday," the man smiled softly, and raised his glass at him—it was a bottle of canned beer: "Thank you for being with me these days... Well, I still want to How do I return the gift, so I will treat you to this meal."

The hot pot boiled at some point, and steam was rising from the bottom of the tumbling pot. Yu Bing blinked his blurry eyes, and suddenly felt that the Ji Yang he was familiar with came back a little bit.

He opened a bottle of wine and lightly touched the other party.

"Thank you."

……

In the afternoon, You Ye came back early to make the final preparations... The chef he contacted would deliver the prepared dishes around eight o'clock. Besides, he also specially bought flowers.You Ye thought roses were gaudy, so he bought a few packaged lilies, pruned the roots, put them in a poured vase, and placed them in the center of the dining table.

In addition, he packed the key that was going to be sent out in a small brocade box, and carefully placed it next to the vase; after this, You Ye felt that it was not enough, so he wrote another note and put it in the brocade box Below, the above is just a simple sentence.

"I like you, let's try."

In fact, You Ye had said so much sweet talk that he couldn't remember it when it was time to use it; besides, he knew that Yu Bing was not a person who cared so much about formalism, and if he used too much force, he would remind the other party of unnecessary black history.So You Ye made up his mind to keep everything simple... He has always been very confident in himself, thinking that as long as the other party sits at the dinner table, he will definitely not let that person run away.

With such a mood, You Ye was a little drifting when he walked. He went out in the evening, took back the birthday cake he had planned and put it in the refrigerator, and dug out a bottle of old wine from the cabinet. Count the time on your fingers.

After eight o'clock, the dishes also arrived. They were all exquisite home cooking, and the table was set up in a dazzling array.After the people left, You Ye stood on the edge of the table, and forced to arrange all the dishes... In a blink of an eye, he saw nine o'clock, he put down the chores in his hand, and went upstairs like a gust of wind.

To confess this kind of job, you can't do it without dressing up, but it can't be too formal, otherwise you won't be able to let it go... You Ye rummaged through the closet and found a suit that his father gave him when he was an adult.He was only wearing a shirt and a vest, without a tie, and two buttons were undone at the neckline, revealing a delicate collarbone.

Gathering his waist-length hair neatly behind his head, You Ye looked at the person in the mirror and felt that something was missing, so he found a pair of silver glasses from the drawer and put them on. Two small diamonds shine brightly under the light.

He unbuttoned the cuffs to the elbows to make the look more casual, and chose a pair of low-key earrings to wear. After the tossing was over, another 10 minutes passed... You Ye returned to the living room and began to wait patiently.

He watched the numbers on the electronic watch keep beating, and before he knew it, another half hour passed...but the expected doorbell never rang.

... Was there an accident on the road?Still stuck in traffic?Thinking in a mess, You Ye glanced at the WeChat interface. The messages he sent one after another have never been answered. He dragged the interface in boredom, refreshing it again and again, imagining that the other party might appear in the next second...

but.

Accidentally, it was past ten o'clock, and the food on the table was already cold. You Ye had no choice but to get up and heat them up one by one, and then covered them with a dustproof and heat-resistant cover.

At 10:30, he couldn't bear to make a phone call, but it showed that the other party had turned off the phone.

...another hour passed.

You Ye put the cold food into the microwave oven again. He looked at the warm light inside the appliance, and his eyes gradually lost focus... The previous nervous and excited mood gradually turned into restlessness and restlessness. I'm not so disappointed that I just let go of my thinking and don't think too much.

...just came back late.

After all, he never personally told that person that he would wait for him. In case the airline company has something to do or something else, that person will definitely do it first. As for the mobile phone, it may be that he didn’t pay attention to it when he was busy. There's electricity... or something.

With the sound of "ding", the food was already hot. You Ye reached out to take it absent-mindedly, but he took a breath from the scalding plate, and quickly turned on the faucet and rinsed it with cold water.

Fortunately, it's not very serious, but the fingertips are slightly red and tingling when touched.This little injury didn't affect him much, so he bent his injured knuckles indifferently, and You Ye put the dinner plate on the table through the towel, and just as he put it away, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from the entrance .

He didn't care about anything else, when he turned around, he didn't seem to look back, he almost trotted all the way to the door, watched the doorknob tremble a few times, turned slightly——

You Ye's heart twisted in a circle, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he subconsciously wanted to face that person with the most attractive appearance, even though he was already late for a long time.

As the door was gently pushed open, a gust of cold wind seeped in, bringing with it the familiar sandalwood fragrance that You Ye had been yearning for day and night, and a little strange smell of alcohol.

It seems that he has already eaten, was he dragged to the dinner?You Ye's smile froze for a moment, but he stepped forward as if nothing had happened: "Welcome back..."

A familiar smell is mixed in the smell of wood and wine, not strong, but very obvious.

That's... Omega pheromones.

You Ye's half-raised hands paused in the air, he looked at the unfamiliar Alpha in front of him a little blankly, his unfinished words turned into soft thorns, and stuck into his throat.

Swallowing it with difficulty, You Ye vaguely tasted a fishy sweet taste, and couldn't maintain the smile on his face anymore.The burnt fingertips were aching, and he hid this obvious fragility in his pocket... Then he silently watched Yu Bing bend over to take off his shoes, and hang his coat at the door.

——It was only then that You Ye finally found his voice, and You Ye opened his mouth, his voice was very soft, with an unstoppable tremor in his tone.

"...Where have you been these few days?"
