midsummer night

A waiter was running towards him, He Xiyuan picked up a tablecloth and wiped the handle of the table knife clean.

The air smelled of Alpha pheromone, but it was not a suppressed pheromone, but a smell of despair and cowardice before the death of an animal, from which the hunter could detect the individual's dying struggle.

He Xiyuan only glanced at him, then put on a mask and walked out from the door.

He returned to the company building across the road, collected his office computers and documents, put everything in his bag, and told his colleagues that he needed to leave early for something.

He Xiyuan sat in the rest area downstairs of the company, looking at the sunshine outside the window.He suddenly remembered something and called the housekeeper.

He said to the housekeeper: "I may not be able to be contacted in these two days, please help me tell the seniors not to worry."

Then without elaborating, he hung up the phone.

It was more than an hour later when the police appeared in front of him, later than He Xiyuan expected.He was typing in the hall downstairs, and Yan Xun had been taken to the hospital by ambulance.

On the way to the hospital, Yan Xun kept opening his eyes, his eyes skipping over several medical staff in the car.He could hardly believe that He Xiyuan was able to stab him, and even ran away after stabbing him.

He Xiyuan sat quietly in the police car all the way, and thought about the question the other party would ask next.

After confirming his identity information, he began to take notes.

The Alpha policeman asked him: "We have already got the store's video, why did you hurt someone?"

He Xiyuan replied slowly: "First of all, you shouldn't directly assume that I intentionally hurt someone. This is a legitimate self-defense."

Police: "Then why didn't you call for help?"

He Xiyuan: "I should ask this Alpha why he forcibly grabbed my hand and released pheromones."

Police: "But your legitimate defense is still suspected of being excessively defensive."

He Xiyuan: "There is no so-called excessive defense. As a victim, I chose the way to escape in the shortest possible time."

Police: "What is your relationship with this Alpha?"

He Xiyuan: "Student, I don't know him well. He asked me out for coffee, and I agreed."

Police: "Do you have any intention or history with Alpha?"

He Xiyuan: "No."

Police: "Do you have an Alpha date?"

He Xiyuan: "It doesn't count."

Police: "Do you have any financial relationship with Alpha?"

He Xiyuan: "No."

Police: "Have you given any hints to the other party that you are single or can date?"

He Xiyuan: "No, but I don't know what the other party will think."

Police: "Be more specific."

He Xiyuan: "After all, many Alphas think that Omega likes him just by looking at him. In fact, it may be that he forgot to unzip his pants."

The Beta recorder next to him grinned, and quickly returned to normal.

Police: "...do you have any mutual acquaintance who can prove what you said is true?"

He Xiyuan thought of Lu Chengfeng, Gao Qingnian and the platform salesman.

But the police didn't give him much time and took out a knife that He Xiyuan had left in the restaurant.

Policeman: "This is the knife you used. Your knife stabbed the opponent's gland twice. After the opponent fell to the ground, you wiped the marks on the knife with a tablecloth. If you didn't intentionally hurt someone, why did you do it?" Wipe the knife?"

He Xiyuan: "It's a habit, just like I also wash the knife after cutting vegetables and fruits."

Police: "After completing the above series of actions, you left the scene until the store called the police. Judging from your actions, you may also be suspected of fleeing."

He Xiyuan leaned back and said, "I obviously waited for you for an hour in the coffee shop across the street."

police:"……"

After Lu Chengfeng heard the housekeeper finished talking about He Xiyuan, he soon received a call from Yan Xun from the hospital.

After listening to the other party's narration calmly, Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly, sitting in the car with his slender legs stretched out, and the surrounding air pressure was very low.He asked Yan Xun: "Why did he stab you with a knife?"

Yan Xun: "Who knows, I didn't see clearly..."

Lu Chengfeng interrupted him: "Why did you ask him out?"

Yan Xun: "Reminiscing about the past."

Lu Chengfeng's voice came from the phone coldly, and he said to the sound of the car outside the window: "What old things do you have with him. Who called the police in the end?"

Yan Xun: "Shop."

Lu Chengfeng was quiet for a while, and said, "He Xiyuan lives with me."

Yan Xun didn't seem to hear clearly, and didn't reply for a while.

Lu Chengfeng told him more bluntly: "I'm dating him."

He didn't care about Yan Xun's answer, so he hung up the phone.In the end, he will solve the accident. Although he can release He Xiyuan without showing up, he just doesn't want He Xiyuan to waste time in meaningless interrogation.

Yan Xun's injury was neither fatal nor disabled. The result and sequelae depended on his personal fortune. In the end, Yan Xun did not ask for any compensation.

When He Xiyuan came out of the police station at night, Lu Chengfeng waited for him outside the police station and took him home.

Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything on the way, but held his hand all the way, and then helped him take off his coat in the living room, checked his face, neck and limbs to see if there were any scars or wounds.

Before going to bed, Lu Chengfeng hugged Omega's feet under the quilt and rubbed them a few times with his palms.

He Xiyuan snorted a few times comfortably, squinted his eyes and called, "Senior."

Lu Chengfeng: "Yes."

He Xiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm pregnant—" when Lu Chengfeng raised his eyes, he continued, "I suspect that Yan Xun likes you."

Lu Chengfeng: "...?"

He Xiyuan smiled, he looked very happy, it seemed that the knife made him vent a lot of depression in his heart.Pregnancy without killing is a lie. Only by retaining animal nature can you conceive more safely until the embryo leaves your body.

Lu Chengfeng continued to rub his feet, and replied blankly: "He only likes my money."

He Xiyuan laughed so hard that he fell under the quilt.

However, even if it was self-defense, the company knew about it the next day.Someone saw He Xiyuan getting into the police car in the lobby downstairs. He came to work normally the next day, and the reason for entering the police station also needs to be reported to the company.

Huang Han ran out to report to HR that He Xiyuan had attacked him. Even though there was no evidence, there were some rumors in the department and inside.

The stabbing of Yan Xun was not a big deal, but it was not a small thing.Yan Xun's presence in Beidu is irrelevant to most people, but his parents are still able to make decisions in the official and business circles of Xiadao, so the parents also know about this matter, and specially called to reprimand him.

It was an unfamiliar number, and it was only after He Xiyuan picked it up that he realized it was the parent.There was a sickness in his stomach, as if he had been forced to smell rotting food.

Knowing the background of Yan Xun's family in Xiadao, the parents blame him for doing too much, because Yan Xun is not only an alumni and resource, but also a good potential Alpha partner.

The parents said: "Even if the alumni come out to meet together, it is a kind of evil to hurt someone's glands because of a misunderstanding. When can you restrain yourself and review your extreme impulsive behavior?"

He Xiyuan replied dryly: "He didn't ask me to pay compensation, which shows that he is still self-aware. Could it be that he didn't do evil to me when he hurt and harassed me? That's strange. You have clearly met the other's family and know what kind of virtue that family is. They There is really no reason for you, because you really have almost nothing, and you are poor in spirit and material, well, maybe you are even poorer in spirit. The most important thing in your life is a little sense of moral superiority, which is seen through by them, and finally You must come to me to find a sense of existence.”

The parent said: "You are so old, you don't even have an Alpha who likes you, how can you talk to me like this? I will come to Beidu sometime, and we will meet."

He Xiyuan: "No, I want to see you in the future. If you don't want to see us, then you don't have to see us."

Then he hung up the phone and blocked the number.Even so, his parents said that he would come to Beidu, which made him feel very bad.

The annual crime rate of the Alpha group is as high as 90%, and they commit all kinds of crimes, but there is no need to worry about the Alpha group's crimes.He Xiyuan stabbed the two Alphas out of self-protection, which made the people around and the company management suddenly keep away from Omega employees.

Of course, he understands that one of the reasons why he can still walk sideways in the company is because part of his relationship with Lu Chengfeng has been made public.Gao Qingnian and Zhu Ping knew that Lu Chengfeng picked He Xiyuan away from the police station, but they didn't know whether Lu Chengfeng was protecting an acquaintance because of his classmates, or had other intentions.

Lu Chengfeng didn't worry too much, he asked the housekeeper and lawyer to deal with these trivial matters, and his main energy was to accompany He Xiyuan.He remembered that He Xiyuan had been very insecure in the past few days, he couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night, he longed to be alone but couldn't bear the loneliness for too long.

Lu Chengfeng wanted to take him to see a psychiatrist or a counselor.He and professionals described He Xiyuan's condition, his almost pathological insistence on solitary space, requiring outsiders to stay next door or within a certain perceived distance, and not disturb him, in order to live a normal life.

His own Omega may be prone to depression, and he hopes to do something about it.

The doctor told Lu Chengfeng: "The behavior you described is indeed close to the clinical manifestation, but the real result requires him to take the initiative to treat, or is willing to come to treat with you."

Before going to bed, Lu Chengfeng found a chance to ask He Xiyuan, He Xiyuan looked up at him, and said, "No need. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety a few years ago, but it's hard for people not to be depressed in this environment. As long as you don’t need to worry about the future, you can live safely and smoothly. There are also medicines, but because the body reacts too much, I only take one when I can’t bear it.”

He Xiyuan refused to go for physical and psychological examination with Lu Chengfeng.In addition to thinking it was unnecessary, it was also because the examination might require a blood test, which would let Lu Chengfeng find out that he was pregnant.Even if he is not pregnant, he is not comfortable sharing too many medical details with Lu Chengfeng.

If he is not pregnant, he can probably change jobs, but his current physical condition makes him more vulnerable and more difficult to control time.

He rejected the company's request to reconcile with Huang Han, rejected Lu Chengfeng's proposal to see a doctor, and rejected his parents' meeting.

He finds himself truly alone, with no one he can fully trust.But this is not a bad thing, because trusting others too much can sometimes put yourself in a more dangerous situation.
