midsummer night

It was already [-]:[-] in the morning when He Xiyuan found the missed call on the screen. He sent a message back to Lu Chengfeng, but the other party didn't reply right away.

He looked at the screen, got up to take a shower, and found a small amount of mucus on his underwear when he undressed.He paused, and washed his underwear together after taking a shower.

Because of the effect of alcohol, he felt dizzy, swallowed a tablet of suppressant with warm water before going to bed, and passed out.

After waking up on Saturday morning, I saw Lu Chengfeng's message: If you don't want to be in the city center on weekends, you can come to the suburbs.

He Xiyuan was a little apprehensive, but it seemed that Lu Chengfeng's invitation couldn't be pushed every time.Taking advantage of the fact that there was no other work on the weekend, and the waiting list in the hospital would not be heard until the end of the month, he asked the driver to pick him up in the afternoon.

He casually ate a bowl of duck blood vermicelli near his residence at noon and was satisfied.After returning to the residence, he changed into a pair of khaki pants and a fine-grained ivory shirt, and sat in the living room waiting for the driver.

After sitting for a while, he got up and went to the bathroom to look at his face and hair in the mirror. There was a touch of light blue color under his eyes caused by going to bed late.After thinking about it, he went back to the room and took a concealer, used the brush head to dab a little under his eyes, and then spread it with his fingers.

After wiping it off, I felt that my face looked dull, so I put a little lipstick on my lips, which is almost transparent cinnamon color.After looking in the mirror for a long time, I couldn't see any difference from my original lip color.

Omegas often wear makeup, but He Xiyuan is used to pretending to be a Beta, and occasionally he is forced to pick up Omega's common life skills.

It was Saturday afternoon that the driver drove He Xiyuan to Lu Chengfeng's villa.When he got in the car, he couldn't help pursing his lips from time to time, and wiped his lower lip with his fingers, repeatedly confirming that there was no obvious color on his lips.

He obviously felt that his meeting with Lu Chengfeng became less and less like going to an afternoon tea with his senior, landlord and client, but a date.

The houses in the villa area are low and low, and a large piece of sky can be seen.The outskirts of the city are quieter than the embassy district, and the fine fallen leaves of the trees are spread on both sides of the road.

The building of the villa is a European-style red mud exterior wall and hexagonal windows. Trees and flowers are planted in the backyard, and there are high walls between adjacent buildings.

The butler stood at the door and let him in with a smile.The interior is light golden wallpaper, the living room has a fireplace and crystal lamps, huge arched windows open to the rear garden, fabric sofas and wooden seats surround the living room, and the floor is covered with intricately patterned carpets.There is a porcelain vase on the coffee table in the living room. The flowers in the vase are the same species as the light yellow rose he received on Friday afternoon.

When He Xiyuan received the flowers in the office, he guessed that they were from Lu Chengfeng, because he never thought that anyone else would give him a bouquet of pale yellow roses wrapped in beige linen cloth.

At this moment, I saw a familiar flower in the living room, and thought I was really smart.

The butler was holding a chubby golden cat in her hand and was about to go upstairs. She still had a meticulous demeanor, and it seemed a bit playful to hold the cat.

The butler said, "You can sit down wherever you want, and I'll carry the cat upstairs."

He Xiyuan: "That...can I give you a hug?"

Butler: "It's scary. I've cut its nails, but I'm still afraid that it will scratch people."

He Xiyuan: "Hey? It's okay, just pat your head."

Then He Xiyuan touched the cat's fluffy head with the housekeeper's hand. It didn't respond violently, so he took it and hugged it in his arms, touched his face and tail.The cat was a little heavy on his lap, and He Xiyuan poked his round back. The cat made a small "mi" and looked up at He Xiyuan, with round lake blue eyes.

He Xiyuan smiled, and looked closely into its eyes, his face was almost touching the cat's face, wanting to kiss it.

"cough."

One person and one cat raised their heads and looked at Lu Chengfeng who was coming down the stairs.

He Xiyuan put the cat on the ground, and it rubbed He Xiyuan's trousers, purring, how cute it looked.

Lu Chengfeng said: "This is a cat that was given to my sister Leia a few years ago. At that time, she was still studying in an international school in Beidu. Later, she returned to Europe. The cat was not taken away, and the housekeeper usually looks after it."

He Xiyuan: "It's so cute."

When he was talking, the cat walked around between the two of them, wrapped its tail around He Xiyuan's leg lightly, and then stopped at Lu Chengfeng's feet with a cute face.

Lu Chengfeng took a collar and put it around the cat's neck, put a leash on it, handed one end of the rope to He Xiyuan, and said, "Let's go, let's take a stroll in the garden, the weather is rare."

The garden behind the villa is an open flat land, the height of the trees is just enough to cover the windows of the villa next to it, and white hydrangeas are climbing on the garden wall.A white arched umbrella was propped up on the grass, with lace hanging on the edge of the umbrella cloth.There is a low table under the umbrella, and the chairs near the flower wall are cushioned.

Fish, smoked meat, egg and tomato sandwiches are displayed on a snack stand on the table, a small fruit tart is topped with blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, and a small bunch of fresh pink roses is stacked in a woven basket.

Lu Chengfeng said: "At first I wanted to pick them in the garden, but I didn't find any satisfactory ones. There is a flower shop nearby, and the varieties are not many. The housekeeper only picked this."

Bone china tea sets are served on matching gold-rimmed plates.The exquisite decoration made He Xiyuan dizzy, there was no one else around, this afternoon tea was only prepared for him, and the extra chair only had a cat cushion.

He didn't know why someone would do something for him, and he didn't know why Lu Chengfeng had to prepare all of this for him. He was dizzy, confused and troubled like being hit by a crown.

When he was nervous, he wanted to grab something in his hand, so he tightened the rope in his hand, led the cat to him from a bush of flowers, and held it in his arms.

The cat stuck its four feet to the grass and let out a "mi" reluctantly.

Lu Chengfeng sat down opposite, and said, "I only prepared two desserts, the rest can be a main meal, which is equivalent to eating dinner in advance."

He Xiyuan was still uncomfortable, and said, "Thank you, I took the trouble." He glanced at the small round tiramisu cake next to him.

Lu Chengfeng took a knife and cut a triangle, put it on his plate, and said, "Eat it at ease, this one has low sugar content."

The cake was not big, and the piece he cut took up one-third of it, and it seemed that the two of them could finish it.

Before eating, He Xiyuan wiped his lips with a napkin, as if wiping lipstick. He felt that Lu Chengfeng looked at him twice, so he put down the napkin.Fortunately, the color on his lips was so light that it could hardly be seen on the white napkin.

He Xiyuan took a sip. The cake tasted more milk and coffee than sugar, and the taste of wine was strong.He raised his head and smiled at Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng poured a cup of black tea in front of him, and said, "I saw you for the first time when I was in school, are you also eating?"

He Xiyuan swallowed the cake, nodded and said, "Yes, we will have lunch by the lake behind the campus."

Lu Chengfeng: "Then, what did I say?"

He Xiyuan: "It is said that I was too involved in eating, and no one standing behind noticed."

Lu Chengfeng: "Is that all you said?"

He Xiyuan: "You walked me back to school, and you didn't talk much on the way."

Lu Chengfeng: "I still remember sending you to the hospital, why haven't I seen you since then?"

He Xiyuan thought that he actually remembered the hospital, and said: "The teaching buildings of different grades in high school are too far apart, and students of different grades can hardly see each other."

Lu Chengfeng: "But you know which teaching building I'm in."

He Xiyuan scooped up a spoonful of cake and brought it to his mouth, saying, "I know."

Lu Chengfeng: "Then did we meet in high school?"

He Xiyuan: "I've seen you before, but not many times. I occasionally see you in the crowd."

In fact, he didn't really want to improve the time he bumped into it in the corridor of the chemistry building, and hoped that Lu Chengfeng would completely forget about it, he felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Chengfeng: "When I was in St. Gettysburg, I didn't remember what you were like back then. I thought you were a Beta student I didn't know."

He Xiyuan: "That's right, many people think I'm Beta, that's pretty good."

Lu Chengfeng: "When you went to the hospital, you were given Omega inhibitors."

He Xiyuan nodded, indicating that he knew what he wanted to ask, and seemed sure that he hadn't asked the question yet.

Lu Chengfeng: "If you don't mind me asking one more question, is it because of your body that you hide the pheromone?"

He Xiyuan: "It is, but at least I spent a few years of studying and working safely without interference from pheromones."

……

The cold touch of the sterile cotton wiped on the gland, the rubber gloves pinching his skin, the bright white light, the surgical blade cut the skin, and the liquid flowed out from the incision and his eyes.

Sitting in the bus and Zhan Xishao's bedroom in a daze, the sun came in through the curtains, and the room was shrouded in orange-red light, like a stove fire, scorching his body.

Standing up is the dizzy feeling of vomiting, and waking up in the middle of the night, even in summer, he can't smell his pheromones.

……

Lu Chengfeng asked: "Have you been using inhibitors or suppressors for so many years?"

He Xiyuan: "All of them."

Lu Chengfeng: "Long-term use of suppressors is not good for the body. My mother has used them for many years, and later found that even the best suppressors still have side effects. Finally, the doctor dissuaded me and switched to other methods."

He Xiyuan answered directly without thinking: "Even if there are side effects, it is better than uncontrollable estrus and birth."

Holding a spoon in one hand and inserting it into half of the cake, he looked up at Lu Chengfeng, his eyes were a little round, like a faint defense, and there was a little brown sauce on his mouth.

Lu Chengfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "Sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

He Xiyuan was a little surprised. Most Alphas knew almost nothing about the physiology of Omega, except for the fact that they can mate and become pregnant during estrus.And Lu Chengfeng actually knew about the suppressor his mother used.

But his attention was quickly attracted by the food. The small sandwiches on the snack stand sandwiched salmon and avocado were placed on a white plate and placed in front of He Xiyuan.The sandwich bread is heart-shaped, dark whole wheat bread placed together, and the edge of the disc is glazed with dark blue and intricate lace.

There is something to say: Lu Chengfeng gave He Xiyuan a small bouquet of pale yellow roses, because he knew that He Xiyuan was very restrained and didn't like to show off, so he didn't send a large bouquet of red roses to the public.
