Even though he has chosen the most informal clothes, He Yaning's dress is still a little too formal.

The cafeteria on the second floor was booked by Wen Jia, and when he got out of the elevator, He Yaning was a little hesitant, because all the strange faces appeared around him.

He asked the waiter to confirm, and then he was a little relieved.

Wen Jia will be here soon.

There was a rustling noise not far away, and He Yaning was processing emails on his mobile phone.As soon as he looked up, he saw Wen Jia's ostentatious long brown hair, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a handsome face.

He Yaning quickly lowered his head, thinking that he was hallucinating.

He typed the last few words, confirmed that the content was correct, and sent it.

"Lawyer He." Wen Jia spotted him at a glance, pushed aside the crowd, and walked straight to him, "Thank you for coming."

He Yaning had no choice but to stand up, smiling all over her face, "Miss Wen, long time no see."

His eyes still fell on the young man behind him.

"Let me introduce you to my new assistant, Xiang Jie." Wen Jia turned his head, "Xiao Xiang, this is lawyer He from Tianheng Law Firm—you also graduated from Haida University, right? You are still alumni."

"He Lvhao." Xiang Jie's eyes were quiet, and the smile on his face was light, like a mask that was put on it cutely, "What a coincidence, senior."

His eyes fell on the neckline of He Yaning's ironed shirt, which was flat and sharp, just like himself.

He Yaning didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded curtly.

Wen Jia exchanged pleasantries with him, and then led Xiang Jie to fight elsewhere.The waiter brought champagne, but he just took a glass without drinking it.Occasionally a few people came over to chat with him, exchanging business cards.He Yaning picked up business etiquette and did not refuse.

Xiang Jie walked around with the boss, memorized some faces, and matched the faces with the names one by one as if playing a connecting game.However, the image of He Yaning always appeared in his mind, wandering from time to time, looking for the light blue shadow in the crowd.

"You can walk around as you like." Wen Jia seemed to sense his absent-mindedness, and was determined to let him go, but couldn't help telling, "Don't run too far."

Xiang Jie probably heard himself answer, and started searching for the location in the next second.

Participating in such a private banquet is not entirely meaningless.He Yaning met an Haida alumnus who was a partner of Wenjia and had a close relationship.Chatted with He Yaning about business for a while, and invited him to talk in detail some other day.

He Yaning remembered seeing this man on the news, and it was vaguely rumored that there was a rift in his marriage with his original wife.I didn't expect to get another piece of business here. Sometimes it's like this. I obviously don't want to work, but I have a will.

"He Lu." Xiang Jie went all the way to find him, and saw that he was chatting happily with investors, so he didn't want to disturb him.Finally, when the other party was called by another person, he mustered up the courage to call He Yaning.

His name is He Lu.

He Yaning was slightly shocked, and then turned around.Seeing him, he smiled, "Why did I meet you here?"

Xiang Jie shrugged, "I'm her assistant now."

"Did you change your job?" He Yaning frowned, but he didn't seem angry, just digesting the information.

"Hmm." Xiang Jie lowered his head and stared at the upper of the shoe.Wen Jia said to dress casually, so he really came here casually.As a result, he was ruthlessly blocked from the door, and hurriedly returned to the company to change into a white shirt and black trousers, and barely passed.

It was also thanks to his face, otherwise he would look no different from a waiter.

"The school is going to lay off a group of people, so I changed my job first." He said indifferently, "What about you?"

"I did her a favor before," He Yaning pondered for a while, but decided to protect the privacy of the client, "Come and see."

Xiang Jie smiled.The corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled, and He Yaning's thin figure was reflected in his eyes, "Brother, I want to have a good talk with you."

Seeing that He Yaning hesitated, he softened his tone and almost begged, "Can you?"

In such a big reception, everyone has their own goals.They stand in the corner, not disturbing others, nor being disturbed.

He Yaning softened his heart and nodded, "It's too noisy here, let's go out—" After a pause, he said, "Aren't you afraid she will find you?"

He was talking about Wen Jia.

"I told her." Xiang Jie secretly touched He Yaning's hand, "I said, I want to meet an important person."

There is a fairly large terrace outside the hotel. Looking down, you can see a colorful garden decorated with exquisite flowers and trees; the fountain is constantly gurgling, with occasional drops of water splashing.Looking up is the blue sky in midsummer, as blue as a piece of ice in the ocean.

"How are you doing recently?" After a moment of silence, He Yaning spoke first.Xiang Jie lost some weight, but he became more energetic.Her hair was shaved into a neat little round inch, her brows were fresh, as if she had just walked out of the campus.

"It's good," Xiang Jie bared his teeth, "This job is not easy, but I feel good."

He Yaning tilted his head, as if intending to let him continue talking.

"...The work I did before was very easy and easy to let people relax." Xiang Jie explained again, "But I am a person who always stays in a comfortable environment, so it may not work."

For a moment, he had an urge to tell He Yaning that many times, he thought of him at work.Thinking of whether He Yaning also worked overtime until late at night, he would also use a thermos to make a pot of health-preserving tea, and drink it slowly one sip at a time.

But he held back, because it sounded stupid.

"What about you?" he heard himself asking.

He Yaning's lips opened and closed, and the sound of the fountain downstairs seemed to amplify instantly, covering his voice.Xiang Jie didn't hear clearly, he frowned and asked, "What?"

"Xu Yingyue went back," he said, "I think I've lost my conversation with him."

Xiang Jie was stunned for a few seconds before he gradually understood what He Yaning meant.

"Because of Xiaozhu's matter." He Yaning said, "He still hopes to have manual intervention. Maybe this is really better for her."

Xiang Jie pondered the meaning of He Yaning's words, and carefully asked, "Manual intervention?"

"Well, intervene in pheromones to induce differentiation. Also, if Xiaozhu differentiates into an omega, sex reassignment surgery can be performed to make her an alpha."

Xiang Jie gasped.

"Why?" he heard himself ask.

He Yaning looked at the fountain in the small garden, gushing out joyfully, and then submerging in peace, "Because becoming an alpha will make her life much easier."

In fact, when I think about it sometimes, Xu Yingyue is not completely wrong, he is just a rational profit seeker.How difficult it is to change a person's concept, let alone a group of people and a society.

What about fighting with your whole life?Some things, even if it takes a few generations or more than a dozen generations of efforts, it may be nothing more than a car with a mantis' arms and a tree with a mayfly.

Xiang Jie smiled softly, "Not necessarily."

He Yaning looked up and glanced at him.

"Does it have to be easy to be an alpha?" He shook his head. "Maybe in some respects. But I always feel that if you use a certain standard to ask everyone, everyone really lives... very hard."

Xiang Jie smiled lightly, as if he was talking about someone else.

"I know it's good to work hard, but some people just want to live a casual life." Closed his eyes gently, Xiang Jie smiled, "Some people want the opportunity to display their talents, and some people want the right to live a mediocre life .Unfortunately, it seems that some things are not allowed."

He Yaning's heart seemed to have been knocked hard.He looked at Xiang Jie and asked with a smile, "What about you, have you found the path to a mediocre life?"

He saw Xiang Jie shaking his head, and heard him say, "I give up."

"I decided to live like an alpha. In other words, I decided to do something I really want to do. Maybe I won't become famous too much," Xiang Jie reached out and grabbed the balcony railing, which was exquisitely carved and complicated. pattern, "but I will try."

He Yaning smiled lightly, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to disappoint you." He heard Xiang Jie say seriously, "I want to be by your side when you need me."

"Brother," he saw Xiang Jie raised his smiling face, as if he had used a lot of determination to speak out, "I'm serious, maybe I'm a person who makes you think I've never been serious, but please... Do not suspect me."

Xiang Jie has never been a serious person.Born with superior conditions, he can succeed in whatever he does easily.This is good, but it is also easier for him to choose to give up when encountering difficulties.

Giving up properly is an art, but for the current Xiang Jie, what he needs to learn more is persistence.

Stick to something.Stick to one career, stick to one ambition, and... stick to loving someone.

Don't give up at will because of age, gender, occupation, social prejudice...Like a big tree with deep roots, it always waits gently no matter the wind or rain.

Xiang Jie often thinks that the regret between him and Jiang Fang is not that she is not good enough, but that he was not mature enough when they met.In other words, I haven't learned to mature yet.

But right now, Xiang Jie's eyes sparkled when he looked at this capable, serious, yet pitiful man.

He said, "Brother, just let me stay with you."
