Root sound

After the song, he was taken aback by the expression on his face, hesitating what to say to enliven the atmosphere.

Fortunately, Xie Xian took the initiative to speak, and his rough voice penetrated the microphone: "Mr. Yin is ill, and I temporarily entrusted me to accept the award on his behalf. I wasted everyone's time just now, sorry."

Xie Xian's eyes are down, and when he squeezes out every word, he looks like a machine that has lost his feelings. After singing, he has been battle-tested, and he quickly adjusts his expression to pick up the words.

Given that the award recipient's emotions were at a critical point, the award presenters did not chat and joke as usual. They asked me to answer a few questions in a programmed manner, and then scribbled the trophy to Jie Xian's hands.

Xie Xian bowed slightly to thank in a hoarse voice, and in the next second, clutching the heavy trophy, he rushed off the stage and ran out of the arena without looking back.

The camera that moved after hearing the wind only captured the restless back.

Yin Zhezhi didn't say where he went, he just lowered his head and said "Help me get the prize", then pushed Alpha away and ran away.

Xie Xian hurriedly changed his clothes, picked up a new Omega inhibitor in the corner of the fitting room, and in an instant he clenched his teeth even more, and put the small bottle of spray into his pocket.

If sister Pei hadn't stood at the back door and reminded her loudly, Xie Xian would have even forgotten to put on the mask.

He stopped the car and reported his home address. The driver was startled by his unstable Alpha pheromone and turned the car into a spaceship.

Xie Xian threw down a few banknotes, opened the car door and ran out, the weather was hot and humid, every step of Xie Xian's running was heavy and uncomfortable.

He slammed the door open and called Yin Zhezhi's name. The room was as quiet as it was before he left, except for the whistling of the small fan on the coffee table that he forgot to turn off.

On the dining table, the half-pack of potato chips that Omega opened last night was still open, and there was still milk foam on the rim of the glass on the cupboard.

A slipper fell from the shoe cabinet to the ground. There was no familiar scent of mint in the air, only the lonely smell of strawberries.

Jie Xian was dizzy and pushed open every door without giving up, convinced that Yin Zhezhi hadn't come back.

In the mobile phone, the female voice repeated "I'm sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off" over and over again, until the mechanical sound changed to a rapid beep, and then she fell down on the sofa and leaned her elbows to her thighs.

He lowered his head and pulled his black hair that had been sprayed with hairspray with both hands. Omega's whispers buried on his shoulders were played in Alpha's brain in a loop.

Where did you go?Where did you go?

Bang, Xie Xian punched the coffee table hard, and the Omega inhibitor fell from his pocket due to his excessive movement.

Xie Xian stared at the small plastic bottle rolling around, retracted his right arm, and boundless worry spread in his eyes.

The inhibitor can only have a short-term effect, and it has been more than three hours since Yin Zhezhi sprayed the inhibitor, and the marked breath may not be able to hide.

According to the prudence of the other party, they should not run around in public places, but Omega has disappeared for several years, and has almost no other friends, except staying with the members, that is, in the rented house...

Jie Xian's expression froze, he jumped up from the sofa, and grabbed the trophy on the coffee table before leaving.

The familiar old buildings came into his eyes, Alpha's muscles tensed up, and he breathed very lightly.

There seemed to be rustling noises on the lawn in the dark, he guessed there were paparazzi squatting there, but now was not the time to worry about it.

A gust of wind blows away the sweltering heat and humidity, and Jie Xian smells the mint-flavored pheromone wrapped in strawberry flavor. His shoulders relax and sag first, and then tense even more.

He stepped forward a few steps, and as soon as he touched the iron door, the door slid open by itself——

Omega didn't even close the door!

Xie Xian's thin lips were tightly pursed, and after a while fear welled up in his heart, there was a "click" behind him and a flash flashed, and he quickly slipped in and slammed on the door.

The heavy dark curtains blocked the light, the room was not turned on, and it was as dark as the night, Jie Xian followed the memory to find the switch, and "slapped" the fluorescent lamp on.

Familiar with the furnishings and old furniture, he was in a trance, and he stood there awkwardly, and the boundary between the past and the present became extremely blurred.

He tried his best to suppress the soreness in his chest, and carefully put the trophy on the shelf that the two of them assembled together. He bypassed the familiar shoe rack, walked through the familiar living room, and came to the familiar bedroom.

The bedroom door was ajar, and the post-it notes written by Xie Xian were still stuck on the door. The corners of the post-it notes were all rolled up, and the paper turned from bright yellow to gray.

He took it off carefully, and saw that the writing on the top was smeared by something. He searched his memory and guessed, only to recall that the big characters written in the eloquent words read "There is a party tonight, and I will be home late. Rest early, baby, Take good care of yourself."

The memory he had escaped for a long time was awakened unexpectedly.

That night five years ago, Xie Xian came home with a hangover and a headache. Yin Zhezhi had already packed his luggage and sat on the sofa like a cold sculpture.

"I'm ready to go to Liverpool. I have completed the application for the student visa... I will leave tomorrow."

This was the first sentence Xie Xian heard, his smile froze on his face, most of the time he was sober, his rosy cheeks turned pale in an instant.

"Thank you for taking care of me before. From now on...just treat me as dead."

This was the last sentence Xie Xian could remember clearly, followed by his questioning with a forced smile and hysterical accusations.

Yin Zhezhi didn't seem to say anything, Xie Xian vaguely remembered that the young man's back was straight, his posture was silent and firm, and he pushed the furious Alpha into the abyss with cold violence.

Alpha fell endlessly for five years, and finally returned to sea level with great heartache after learning of Omega's unspeakable secret.

Jiexian finally found his little mint in the corner of the master bedroom.

When Xie Xian slept in this room, Yin Zhezhi refused to stay overnight, but now Yin Zhezhi is the only one living here, but the master bedroom is covered with a soft quilt, filled with the fragrance of Omega mint.

The other party was squatting in the corner, his arms crossed his arms and his legs were bent, his forehead hit his knees, a ray of sunlight came in through the gap of the undrawn curtains, shining on the floor tiles two blocks away from Omega, the blacked-out mobile phone was standing alone Light.

Omega's body was completely shrouded in darkness, and Alpha squinted his eyes, vaguely seeing the other's thin and stiff shoulders.

Xie Xian pushed the door open and made it loud on purpose, fearing that he would accidentally scare the other party without warning, but the pitiful ball curled up remained motionless.

Only then did Xie Xian realize that the other party could not hear the voice.

He frowned, and slowly approached each other.

Probably smelling pheromone, Omega's chestnut hair flicked a few times, and the fingers clasped on the upper arm twisted tighter.

Yin Zhezhi never raised his head.

The air conditioner in the room was so strong that Jie Xian shivered. He remembered that Little Mint had always been greedy for coolness, and even when he lost control of his emotions, he would not forget to turn on the air conditioner first.

His impatient heart suddenly softened, he stepped forward and squatted on the ground lightly, wrapping the other party with gentle Alpha pheromone.

Yin Zhezhi's tense to trembling muscles slowly relaxed.

Xie Xian knelt on one knee, stretched his arms around Yin Zhezhi, leaned close to Yin Zhezhi's ear, and called out "baby" with a loud voice.

Yin Zhezhi moved a few times, but didn't raise his head, his hair that had been sprayed with hairspray poked Jiexian's chin, bringing a sharp itching.

"Remember the post-it note at the door of the bedroom?" He tilted his head and kissed Omega's earlobe, and said to himself, "You must remember that you were reluctant to tear it off for so many years."

The other party didn't ask about deafness, but started another topic without thinking, Yin Zhezhi was stunned.

He swayed a few times and leaned towards the opponent's embrace, but two seconds later he straightened the angle abruptly.

"I told you to go to bed earlier, but you didn't do it." Jie Xian's voice was as low as wine, and he continued to complain softly, "You didn't take good care of Little Mint either."

"I'm going to take my baby back to pamper me, don't stop me." He lightly pecked at the ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can't stop me."

After a burst of tinnitus, Yin Zhezhi's hearing recovered a little, and Yin Zhezhi, who just heard the domineering declaration, had moist eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

Alpha hooked Omega's leg socket with one hand, shackled the opponent's back with the other, and hugged the sad little pitiful.

Yin Zhezhi curled his fingers and clenched the fabric on his chest, and when he passed by the place where the light was shining, he hurriedly buried his face in his chest, and the pheromone from the back of his neck was wrapped in a sweet strawberry smell.

Jie Xian saw the flashing red rabbit eyes.

Untie the string, put the little rabbit on the edge of the bed and sit, wrapping up the thin quilt to wrap him around, Omega struggled twice, but was still tightly wrapped by the strong Alpha, he hung his head sullenly, and stopped moving.

Omega is too greedy for coolness, the air conditioner is so open that there are two worlds indoors and outdoors, and I don’t like to wear shoes when I’m at home in summer.

Xie Xian sighed, rubbed his hairy little head, stood up, and quickly squatted in front of Yin Zhezhi again with a wet towel.

Grabbing the ankle with warm palms, Omega made a single sound in shock.

Xie Xian ignored him, and wiped his opponent's feet with a towel, not knowing it was itchy and ashamed, the toes wrapped in the soft towel curled up, trying to break free but failed to do so.

After he rubbed the towel and washed his hands, he went to the bathroom in the living room to wash up briefly.

When he returned to the bedroom, Yin Zhezhi had really secretly changed into pajamas, finished washing, wrapped himself up tightly and lay down.

Xie Xian sat lightly on the edge of the bed, the mattress was sunken, Yin Zhezhi rolled over and turned into a sushi roll facing the wall, making room for Alpha.

This double bed, which was bought carefully when I untied it back then, was finally put to good use after five years, and it was no longer empty.

Alpha lay down on the bed, put his left hand lightly on Omega's waist, and gently pressed his leg against the outer thigh of the other party.

He asked in a voice that Yin Zhezhi could just hear clearly: "Will you tell me?"

"...Next time." Yin Zhezhi was silent for a long time, and finally gave the answer with a sigh.

"Okay, wait for you." Jie Xian kissed the back of her fair neck, patted her hands gently, and said, "I won't bother you tonight, go to sleep."

"Paparazzi outside the door..." The out-of-control emotions calmed down, and his hearing recovered a lot. Yin Zhezhi finally began to worry about what he left behind today.

"Don't think about it so much, just leave it to me." Jie Xian pinched the small earlobe and said.

Yin Zhezhi didn't have time to make a sound, Jie Xian rubbed his forehead on the soft back helplessly, and said, "Honey, you have to learn to trust me. Don't worry about everything by yourself."

These words hit the nail on the head, and Omega shut up instantly.

Although he hadn't figured out how to organize the words in the past, he suddenly relaxed.

In the past, what Yin Zhezhi was most afraid of was being found embarrassed by Xie Xian, but now that the wound was opened and exposed to the sun, he felt a subtle sense of relief.

When his breathing became shallow behind him, he whispered into the darkness, "Okay."

It just so happened that I couldn't bear it anymore.
