midsummer night

The restaurant that Lu Chengfeng chose was an authentic southern cuisine that is rarely seen in the northern capital, and it was extremely difficult to book a seat for dinner.After receiving Clara's call, the restaurant specially arranged a quiet corner.

The very tall Beta foreman manager led Lu Chengfeng to the front, blocking the sight of others looking in Lu Chengfeng's direction.The restaurant has turquoise marble floors and expensive artwork on the walls.The after-get off work crowd sitting at the bar talking and looking decently well-dressed.

Because of the photo on the AB platform, He Xiyuan has some psychological shadows about barbecue, so he didn't choose barbecue for dinner, but this restaurant.Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised. The Omega in that photo was obviously eating so happily with mutton skewers that he didn't realize the camera that was raised by the person sitting opposite.

Lu Chengfeng took the menu, put a copy in front of him and asked, "What are the taboos?"

He Xiyuan replied: "I don't like spicy food very much, and I am allergic to shellfish. Others are fine."

Lu Chengfeng slightly loosened his tie with one hand and asked, "What kind of meat do you like to eat?"

He Xiyuan raised his head: "Huh?"

How did the senior know that I like meat?

But he quickly said modestly: "I eat relatively simple at night, and I don't have any preference for meat, I like them all."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I ordered, and you can see what to add later."

He Xiyuan sat obediently, with his legs together and his back straight, thinking that he would eat quickly later, maybe Lu Chengfeng had something to do after dinner.

Lu Chengfeng raised his hand lightly in mid-air, and the manager on duty bent slightly and stood beside him, writing down the names of a bunch of dishes.His voice was low, and his dark brown eyes reflected the candlelight on the table, like a forest at night.There is soothing music playing in the restaurant, like the rustling of wind.

He Xiyuan watched for more than ten seconds, took a sip from the teacup at hand before realizing that he was about to stare blankly, and resumed sitting upright when Lu Chengfeng ordered a good dish and looked up at him.

Lu Chengfeng didn't talk to him about any work, and put his phone on the table, he just asked He Xiyuan: "Where did your family go when you came to visit during the holidays?"

He Xiyuan was taken aback, remembering that during the holiday, he actually went to the hospital to remove the suppressor, and his family seemed to have lost contact for a long time.So I made up a few words about shopping and roast duck, but I didn't quite believe it.

When he finished his second cup of tea, a cup of Stewed Fish Head Soup with Chuanxiong and Angelica dahurica came to the table. The strong herbal food and fish flavor blended together. It looked like chicken soup, but it was mellow and almost oil-free.

He Xiyuan sent a mouthful of soup to his mouth with a spoon, then squinted his eyes and paused in mid-air.The fish bones are stewed and crispy, and they are soft when bitten, and melt on the tip of the tongue together with the fish.The thick soup flows from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and the stomach and intestines seem to be smoothed by warm food.

He Xiyuan sighed, this is too delicious.He is extremely insensitive to food, if it is not very outstanding, most of the food will be the same to him.

Then a plate of fried asparagus with wild mushrooms and black truffle was placed on the table. This seemingly unattractive vegetarian dish made He Xiyuan eat so much that he almost buried his face in the bowl.The rice is also very fragrant, and the rice grains are full and distinct.What I said to myself on the way here, "Eat less at night", "Be reserved when eating with seniors", "Go home and make biscuits if you can't eat enough" have been completely forgotten.

There are rich salted chicken with tender meat and crispy skin, and fish-flavored eggplant with minced fish. Who wants to eat biscuits.

Under the light, He Xiyuan ate happily, while Lu Chengfeng sat across the table, watching the hair on his head twitching his mouth.

After he was half full, He Xiyuan suddenly looked up and found that the plate of salted chicken on his side was half empty.The food stimulated his sense of taste and nerves, and Ben was nervous from sitting opposite Lu Chengfeng, his scalp was slightly numb, with a subtle pleasure, as if he had experienced a hearty intracranial orgasm.

He blushed a little, watching Lu Chengfeng unbutton his shirt collar and rolled up cuffs.The candles on the table seemed to have steamed the appropriate pine wood flavor pheromone, and the provocative smell was superimposed on his newly satisfied taste senses, as if to stimulate him from another angle.

Food and sex, He Xiyuan was almost at a loss, took a sip of the tea in hand, as if trying to cover up.

Lu Chengfeng looked calm, after he put down the teacup, he picked up the teapot and refilled his cup.

Gnarled fingers are holding the handle of the white porcelain teapot. Under the dense light, there is a kind of intimate space, as if the surrounding voices and music have gone away, and only he and Lu Chengfeng are sitting at the table, Alpha bows his head for He ordered an after-dinner cup of tea.

He Xiyuan tapped on the table with his fingers, looked up at Lu Chengfeng eagerly and said, "Thank you."

Lu Chengfeng smiled lightly and asked, "Are you full?"

He Xiyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Chengfeng turned the plate of rich salted crispy chicken in a circle, took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, and said, "You're welcome, this restaurant is opened by a friend of my mother's, and the chef's skills are good, next time I can try something else Yes, such as morning tea or afternoon tea."

He Xiyuan looked at the half plate of salted crispy chicken that was neatly arranged in front of him. He couldn't control his hands, picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and then put it in his bowl. He took Xiao Shan's broken bones, then gave up the treatment and continued to eat with his head bowed.

He ate a little slower than when the food was served, he took a bite of the chicken and quietly raised his head to glance at Lu Chengfeng, who looked at him very openly.

The thrill of scalp numbness began to rise along the spine again. After eating the chicken in the bowl, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, then put the chopsticks next to the dinner plate, and resumed the appearance of sitting upright before the meal.

Lu Chengfeng continued his dinner unhurriedly, and asked casually, "How did that Alpha fight with you yesterday?"

He Xiyuan: "I don't know either. He touched me suddenly while he was talking. I was very disgusted, so I pushed him away."

Lu Chengfeng: "A colleague from the same department?"

He Xiyuan: "The team next door."

Lu Chengfeng: "There is a high probability that it is either a work dispute or a relationship dispute."

He Xiyuan immediately denied Sanlian on the spot: "Not at all, I don't know him well, and I didn't want to have dinner with him at first."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, "I have to make an appointment for dinner with you, but he just needs to follow you downstairs after get off work."

He Xiyuan thought of a reception he had rejected, a dinner invitation he had rejected before, and an even longer weekend trip invitation, and suddenly couldn't figure it out: the frequency with which Lu Chengfeng invited him out in the past two months seemed strange, but Most of the time, he was either in the office rushing to research the report, or he was asleep at home, or he turned off his mobile phone because he couldn't bear the harassment from the matching platform intermediary.

I didn't find out about Lu Chengfeng's news until after turning on the phone, which was long after the start time of being invited to the banquet.

He didn't drink, but his face was a little red after the meal, and he just smiled, apologetic.Although he intentionally distanced himself from Lu Chengfeng in his heart, the other party's invitation was always kind.

When getting into Lu Chengfeng's car, he found that there was no driver. He was sitting in the passenger seat, sitting upright, well-behaved and his scalp was tingling.

When waiting for the traffic light, He Xiyuan turned his head slightly, glanced at Lu Chengfeng's face, then quickly turned back to the front, looked at the orange light, and suddenly said, "I remember the first time I took a senior's car in junior high school."

Lu Chengfeng asked: "Really? I have a little impression of when it happened, but I don't remember it clearly."

He Xiyuan's voice sounded half-drunk and half-awake, "It was embarrassing. There was an accident, and the senior took me to the hospital. But sometimes, when I think about it, the accident doesn't seem so bad if I have a chance to get close to the senior." Then He added: "Of course, embarrassment is just as embarrassing."

Lu Chengfeng turned his head slightly to look at his young side face. The pheromone was so weak that he could barely feel it in the restaurant. When he got closer, he could faintly catch a wisp of orange blossom, which was the fragrance of the fruit before it ripened.

He naturally remembered what happened back then, which was different from his current self. At that time, he pushed away He Xiyuan and fled in a desert. He recalled that it was probably a cover-up from embarrassment when he was young.

For many years afterwards, he did not take the pheromone matching test again, because it was unnecessary.He really never felt the same intense heart palpitations that summer night in the hospital ward, and it is almost certain that he never met an Omega who matched him very well after that.

In He Xiyuan's eyes, it was an act of refusal, but for him he fled in despair.He hinted to himself that it was just a probability event, and deliberately threw the other party's name and appearance in his memory to fade away with time.

Hearing He Xiyuan's vague tone, he wondered if He Xiyuan still remembered what happened back then, then whether he also remembered that he never said it out loud, but Lu Chengfeng had heard it from countless others, his admiration for him.

Probably because he was full of wine and food, and spending time with Lu Chengfeng seemed to consume a lot of energy.He Xiyuan went home after dinner, took a bath and slept peacefully, sleeping very deeply.

When he got up the next day, he found that his head started to hurt again.

The part where the suppressor was taken out was slightly itchy, which may be the reason why the wound has not fully healed.The numbness in his scalp after dinner last night had passed, he sat in his room in a daze, his reflex arc was extremely long, and he still couldn't figure out why Lu Chengfeng wanted to have dinner with him.

Maybe Lu Chengfeng just wanted to chat with him, or wanted to poach him from Jianling to his own company.If it's the latter, he needs to think about it.

Although his nerves are much thicker than when he was young, if one day his boss, Lu Chengfeng, has a partner, he will still be slightly concerned.

The appearance of the other party's partner will remind him more clearly that the past cannot be traced and the future cannot be expected.

After waking up, he logged into the account of the matching platform again, clicked on the post that had troubled him for many days, and found that not only the post had been deleted, but the platform had also blocked the other party's account.

Surprised and a little skeptical, there are official agencies and several major listed groups behind the platform, and it has always been a consensus to please the AB group. When will he quickly delete posts for such a small Omega.

In the past, the platform did not delete the posts of Beta and Alpha users, did not solve the problems raised by Omega users, but directly banned the accounts of Omega users, and solved the people who raised the problems.
