midsummer night

He Xiyuan thought that he should take the medicine as soon as possible, finish the three-day process, and then return to Beidu.

It is snowing in the northern capital at this time, so you can take advantage of the annual vacation to rest and stay in the warm room.After returning to Jianling to work after a year, life will return to normal.

But what is normal? The environment in which Omega has lived all his life is not normal, it is just a passive compromise and continuation.In addition to work and the cold winter snow in the northern capital, there is also Lu Chengfeng.

He should move out of the suite in the embassy district, and then—he couldn't think of a plan for the future, it was probably a passive and slow existence.

Lying on his side on the bed, time passed by, like standing on the beach by the sea at night, when the tide came up, he was still standing where he was.The seawater flooded over the ankles and calves, and the cold and salty taste soaked into the chest.The body always drifts away from the beach and the ground along with the sea water, is drawn into the deep sea together with the tide, and drifts towards the semi-dark night sky to communicate with the sea level...

"jingle--"

He shuddered when he heard the doorbell ring.Sitting up, he looked from the edge of the bed to the door.

"jingle--"

The second the doorbell rang, he stood up and moved towards the dark wooden door.

He found that the security lock of the room was not engaged when he entered the door, so he went to the door very lightly and slipped the chain into the latch.Like so many nights in Beijing when someone knocked on the door, his footsteps landed on the carpet silently, like a vigilant cat.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door.Although it sounds more restrained than the uniformed policemen who came to Beidu's door, it still makes people panic in the quiet room with only the air conditioner on.

He opened the peephole and looked out, it was a hotel staff in uniform.The opponent's face was magnified in the cat's eyes, and the strange circle distorted the facial features, and it fell into He Xiyuan's eyes.

"Boom boom boom——"

The knock on the door rang again, but he didn't answer.

There seemed to be someone talking outside the house, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and he couldn't see the person speaking outside the room clearly through the cat's eyes.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone in the hotel room rang, and he stood by the door, his body leaning against the wall, like a cat with fur all over his body, staring at the door and the phone on the bedside table.

Extremely anxious and vigilant, He Xiyuan pressed his body and ignored the phone call and knock on the door.After the phone rang too quietly, he carefully moved to the side of the bed and unplugged the phone line.

He didn't know why he was so nervous about the outside door and the phone call. Maybe the other party just wanted to ask if he needed to deliver the food, or there was something wrong with the credit card when paying.

But he couldn't open the door intuitively. The hotel room was like his last fortress. Even if the surroundings were surrounded by unknown things, he still had to close the city gate without making a sound.

The knocking on the door and the phone call stopped.

He Xiyuan stood in front of the door and listened carefully to the voices outside, wondering if the other party would use his employee card to open the door and enter.

But the knock on the door did not ring again, and the room was silent only with the sound of air-conditioning vents.Sunlight fell on the carpet and white sheets through the gauze curtain.

He sat back on the bed and looked in the direction of the door.

About 1 minute later, there was a vibrating sound on the bed sheet.He Xiyuan took out his phone and saw three letters on the screen: LCF.

The vibration of the mobile phone in his hand is so distinct, the frequency is exactly the same as the phone on the bedside, the doorbell outside the door and the knock on the door.

He looked at the three letters, held the vibrating mobile phone, walked to the window and gently closed the blackout curtains in the room.Then he walked slowly to the gap between the wall and the bed in the room, and sat softly on the ground.

The phone is still vibrating, and the sound from the outside has disappeared, like a vacuum, only the square metal in the hand is making a continuous sound.

His castle is an air-conditioned room, the metal box in the palm of his hand is like a wooden horse that has entered the house, the vibration frequency is like this fetter that made him extremely tired and should have ended long ago, a heart that is about to stop beating.

He gently swiped open the screen and connected the phone. Even though the speakerphone was not turned on, Lu Chengfeng's voice could be heard clearly in the silent room.

Lu Chengfeng: "Xiyuan."

He Xiyuan: "Senior."

Lu Chengfeng: "I came to Fenggang last night, if it's convenient for you, we can meet up."

He Xiyuan's tone did not change, and he asked, "Why did the senior come here suddenly?"

Lu Chengfeng: "Come and see you."

He Xiyuan's voice was steady: "Is there something wrong, or does the senior already know something?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't answer right away.

He Xiyuan: "I guess, you know where I am right now, right?"

Lu Chengfeng: "..."

He Xiyuan: "You will always have a way to know where I am."

Lu Chengfeng: "Xiyuan—"

He Xiyuan: "The senior is probably outside the door right now, or in the lobby downstairs."

His tone was affirmative, as if he had come to a conclusion after analyzing a company's financial statements, so calm that it was impossible to refute.

He Xiyuan: "So, what else does the senior know?"

Lu Chengfeng: "I... Not very sure, so I want to ask you why you made this decision."

He Xiyuan's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was talking to himself: "Whether it's the hospital or any other place, even if I don't tell you, the senior will know about it sooner or later. But whether you know it or not, the final result will probably be the same. I just want to give myself Just buy a little more time."

There was some noise on the other end of Lu Chengfeng, as if he had walked to another quiet room, and then said: "So that guess is right." His voice was very low, I don't know if it was because of the signal, it sounded a little trembling.

He Xiyuan didn't answer.

Lu Chengfeng said: "Since it's been decided, I can't interfere. It's okay to say that without seeing each other. I'm not outside the door, so don't worry."

He Xiyuan: "There is no way to interfere, but you want to come here?" Seemingly knowing that Lu Chengfeng would not answer, he continued: "There is no particular reason, I just wasn't ready."

Lu Chengfeng asked: "Is it age and time, or our relationship, or something else?"

He Xiyuan said: "Everything." He said, "Everything is not ready."

He was quiet for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then asked: "What the senior said to me on the phone yesterday is because... you want me to hesitate and think about it for a while?"

Lu Chengfeng: "No, I didn't even guess your purpose of coming to Fenggang at that time. I just intuited that if I didn't tell you, it might be too late."

He Xiyuan: "It's not important anymore, since the seniors know it, let's talk about other things."

His body was leaning against the edge of the bed, his legs resting on the carpet in the room.The afternoon sun outside the window was bright, but the blackout curtains inside the house blocked most of the light.

He Xiyuan said slowly: "I have always wanted to ask my senior why he stayed on the day of estrus, and why he asked me out even before that. Before taking out the suppressor, I was basically a Beta, and Alpha didn't exist for me. Like it or not , only knowing and not knowing. My life and work are very monotonous, but stable and safe. After all, being liked by Alpha is not something worth celebrating."

He paused for a while, then continued: "Because of the leakage of personal information, people around me and colleagues know that I am looking for a partner, and my seniors must have known about it a long time ago. Nothing excites the Alpha group more than publicly humiliating an Omega." It’s over. My seniors probably know about my past and where I read the books. Even the pheromone matching, the seniors knew about it ten years earlier than me.”

Lu Chengfeng: "The matter of pheromone matching...you know?"

He Xiyuan: "Well, I found out recently."

He Xiyuan said: "So you see, most of the time we have unequal information and resources. As for the pregnancy, I discovered it by accident. If it is later, the seniors may discover it before me."

There was some noise from Lu Chengfeng's side, and then the voice came from the microphone: "Do you still remember the time when I sent you to the hospital many years ago? At that time... I had a reaction to your pheromone, so I went back to the hospital the next day to use it. Your blood sample was tested for a match. If the blood sample was insufficient or had been destroyed, there would not be that test result. But the final result was a numerical value that neither the doctor nor I expected, and you are still a junior, So I didn't tell you or anyone about the result. Except for me and the two doctors, almost no one knew about it. The estrus itself is not your spontaneous physiological reaction, and the result may bring you unnecessary trouble."

Lu Chengfeng continued in a low voice: "I didn't deliberately conceal the matter of pheromone matching. Firstly, the test has passed for many years, and the matching value may have changed; secondly, we don't need to make a special match. The value only shows the degree of matching. It just exists objectively and cannot guarantee individual love. But we are in love, and we can get married if you want, and my child and I are all yours."

He Xiyuan leaned against the bed, seemed to be breathing heavily, and was about to slip on the ground. He whispered, "I don't need what the senior said."

Lu Chengfeng didn't seem to expect him to answer so simply, and there was no sound for a while, as if the signal was cut off.

He Xiyuan added: "I never thought that I would be with my senior. From estrus to pregnancy was an accident. Even meeting my senior many years ago was an accident. I don't intend to keep the embryo, not to use it as a bargaining chip , I just made a decision that I can make."

Lu Chengfeng's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "If we never thought of being together, why did our past experiences overlap so much, and you were willing to be with me in the past few months?"

He Xiyuan smiled lightly, and said calmly, "Because it feels good."

Lu Chengfeng was quiet for a while, and then said: "We can continue to be together. You will have enough financial support and resources, or anything you need. Even so, will you still choose not to have children?"

He Xiyuan replied: "It's just an embryo. It cannot grow and survive without my body. It has not yet become a so-called child. It is parasitic in my body, so I have the right to dispose of it."

Lu Chengfeng paused for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Have you already planned our future?"

He Xiyuan leaned into the microphone and whispered: "I didn't think so far away, but maybe there has never been 'us', so... probably there will be no 'later'."

Something to say: The copywriting is finally here...
