four year itch

Ye Jia took a sip of the wine, but because of the cold he hadn't recovered from yet, his throat felt itchy, and after he swallowed it, he coughed violently.

Bai Zhuyu showed a worried look on his face, and asked with concern, "What, do you have a cold?"

Ye Jia covered his mouth and nose, for fear of splashing a trace of indecent germs, his face flushed from holding back, he managed to stop his cough, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Well, I've caught a cold."

"Be careful when changing seasons, but soon after the stinging sting, the weather will gradually get warmer." Bai Zhuyu signaled the waiter to pour Ye Jia a glass of warm water, and then said to Xu Ling, "Lingling, call Dr. Chen , let him prescribe medicine for Xiao Jia."

"Okay." Xu Ling is worthy of being a vigorous and resolute Alpha, she is extremely efficient, and before Ye Jia could react, she got up and went to make a phone call.

Ye Jia was flattered, and quickly refused, "Don't bother, thank you for your concern."

But Bai Zhuyu smiled, "It's okay, don't bother, I'll cook it later and let Ruibai send it to you."

Now that the words have come to this point, there is no point in Ye Jia refusing, he just accepts this good intention that does not know whether it is true or not.

"I heard that you are the editor in charge of our Ruibai?" Bai Zhuyu casually chatted with him.

"Ah."

"Rui Bai didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

"No, I caused him trouble, and he can do well by himself."

Bai Zhuyu didn't think so, and smiled, "You don't need to help him cover up, he's just too willful. At the beginning, he didn't listen to persuasion, but went to paint, that is, he was young, and let him waste a few years. It's my fault. Mother, I have been too used to him since I was a child."

"Desolate?" Ye Jia was a little surprised that Bai Zhuyu used such words to describe Xu Ruibai.

From Ye Jia's point of view, Xu Ruibai was born to eat this kind of food. He is indeed not an artist, but his status is already at the pinnacle among commercial painters. Looking at the industry, there is no one whose commercial value can compare On Xu Ruibai's.On the one hand, it is because of his outstanding painting skills, and on the other hand, thanks to the marketing of W agency, he has been single-handedly promoted to his current irreplaceable position.It's just that success is marketing and failure is marketing. Most real artists are high-minded, so they naturally disdain to be with such a painter who is too fat and powdery.

But Xu Ruibai's talent is obvious to the public, you can only criticize his utilitarian approach, but you will never question his drawing skills.Therefore, using the word "abandoned" is really out of the ordinary.

Ye Jia defended Xu Ruibai in a low voice, "Ruibai is very talented in painting..."

"Xiao Jia, everyone has his destiny, talent is nothing compared to destiny."

Ye Jia didn't understand what the so-called destiny Bai Zhuyu was talking about.If you insist on mentioning the word destiny, then Xu Ruibai's destiny must be to become a painter, and talent is the strongest sign that destiny gives him.

"Xiao Jia, do you like the work of W agency?" Bai Zhuyu changed the subject calmly.

Ye Jia nodded.

"Xiaojia, we are all Omega, I can somewhat understand your difficulties. This is a world that belongs to Alpha, our Omega has very little choice right from birth, it is already difficult to live without being attached to Alpha, and it is even more difficult to find a job you like. It's even more difficult. That's why I really like you child, and I can't even say I admire you." Bai Zhuyu raised his hand to brush the hair hanging from his forehead, and Ye Jia smelled a faint bamboo fragrance, presumably it was her The pheromone seemed to be deliberately released to prove that he and Ye Jia were of the same kind.

As she wished, when she smelled the smell of the same kind, Ye Jia immediately felt relieved, and she let go of her original defenses, "Auntie, you are flattering yourself."

Bai Zhuyu showed a satisfied expression, "Omega is the most susceptible species, so we have to spend more effort than Alpha and Beta to distinguish whether we really like a job, or just because it is engraved in our bones. the easy-to-shake gene."

Bai Zhuyu stretched out his hand and gently put it on Ye Jia's hand, "Actually, feelings are the same. Alphas are born to be attracted to Omega, and Omega is born to like Alpha more. Many times, this has nothing to do with love. Xiao Jia, Do you think I'm right?"

No, of course not.

Just because of those so-called instincts that we cannot change, it is arbitrarily said that there is no love between Alpha and Omega?Such a statement is simply unfair.Even two people with the same pheromones don't have the same reason. What we need is to work harder to distinguish true love, instead of denying it completely at the beginning.

Ye Jia wanted to refute her, but Xu Ling cut her off.

"Mom, Rui Bai is here." Xu Ling gestured behind Ye Jia with her eyes as she sat down.

"Ruibai?" Ye Jia looked in the direction Xu Ling indicated in horror.Sure enough, he saw Xu Ruibai walking in from the hallway, followed by a well-dressed girl.

Bai Zhuyu's voice sounded at the right time, with just the right amount of guilt, "Rui Bai finally agreed to me today, and was willing to come out to meet my friend's daughter, I was worried, so I wanted to secretly follow me to have a look. I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of a mother."

Ye Jia fixed her eyes on Bai Zhuyu, that perfect face turned into a hideous one at this moment.

"Hush, so keep today's matter a secret~" Bai Zhuyu winked at him playfully, this kind of action gave her a little more girlish lightness, it was a kind of innocence and vitality that was self-contained, let her People couldn't help but want to agree to all her requests. If Ye Jia didn't know what she was talking about at this moment, he probably couldn't help but nod.

"Auntie, what do you mean by calling me here today?" Ye Jia looked at her motionlessly, the more frightened he was, the colder his face became.

"Xiaojia, I hope you don't misunderstand me. I didn't ask you to come here today to break your relationship with Ruibai, nor did I want to oppose your relationship with Ruibai. On the contrary, I am here for Ruibai I'm happy to have such an outstanding friend like you. It's just that Rui Bai is not young, and it's time to start a family."

"So?" Ye Jia asked with a sneer.

"What mother means is that whether Rui Bai gets married or not won't affect your relationship with him, you can still be the same as before." Xu Ling explained from the side, her tone was full of condescending charity.

For a moment, Ye Jia didn't know where to complain about this sentence.

"Is this what Xu Ruibai meant?"

Bai Zhuyu didn't say a word, he just took it as a default.

Ye Jia turned to look at Xu Ruibai who was not far away. The seats they sat in were chosen very delicately. The decorations behind them made it difficult for them to be noticed, and they just didn't block their view. He could clearly see the smile on Xu Ruibai's face. .How long has it been since he saw such a patient and listening smile on Xu Ruibai's face?

"Her name is Chen Di, and her pheromone is the same as yours, a rose." Bai Zhuyu introduced him "intimately", and even thoughtfully helped the two of them find something in common.

That Miss Omega was a little careless and accidentally knocked over the red wine in front of her. Xu Ruibai thoughtfully pulled her to his side and asked the waiter to clean up the table.The shyness she showed when she lowered her head was so familiar, did he and Xu Ruibai also show that expression when they ate for the first time?

It turned out that the surging emotions in his memory were just polite gestures to Xu Ruibai.He thought he was his one and only rose, but in fact he only bloomed briefly in his garden for a summer, and then went downhill.Now, Xu Ruibai has a new flower bud, but he is almost collapsed, he is no different from Yu Yi, the luck that has been saved in these years will finally disappear in the face of reality.

He should have woken up long ago.

Ye Jia closed his eyes, looked away, and calmly ate the food in front of him.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something, something he should have realized earlier,

Xu Ruibai will never fall in love with herself again,

He didn't even have such a plan.
