When Zhao Jiayang went to find Chu Yin with the invitation letter, he was drinking medicine.

There was a wooden tray on the bedside table, inside was a bowl of dark Chinese medicine, and a white porcelain plate with a few pieces of candy.Xu Song stood quietly in the shadow beside the bed, waiting for Chu Yin to finish drinking the medicine, then took the tray away.

Boy Beta was wearing a soft silk pajamas, his hair was yellow due to long-term illness, and under the warm indoor light, it glowed like chocolate.The silk, which was as light as nothing, was pulled all the way to the chest, revealing only a slightly pale face and bloodless lips.

Zhao Jiayang walked very softly, but Chu Yin seemed to be equipped with a dedicated radar detector for Zhao Jiayang. As soon as he opened the door, Chu Yin put down the porcelain spoon in his hand and looked towards the door, catching his Behind the figure, a pair of almond eyes curved up.

"Haven't you slept so late?" He blinked, his eyes narrowed.

"Didn't bother you?" Zhao Jiayang felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and gestured to the tray on the bedside table with his eyes.

"No." Although she was ready to sleep, Chu Yin shook her head.

The light in the room was dim, and he didn't have such superior eyesight as Alpha, so he couldn't see what Zhao Jiayang was holding, so he simply waved him over, picked up the bowl and drank the Chinese medicine in one gulp.The bitter concoction slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and the aftertaste spread in his mouth. He touched a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth, speaking vaguely: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

The strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine makes people sick just by smelling it. Zhao Jiayang resisted the desire to feel sick, and his eyes felt a little distressed - even if he had to make some mental preparations before drinking Chinese medicine, Chu Yin could not change his expression He drank such a big bowl of medicine completely...

He really grew up in a medicine jar.

Zhao Jiayang suddenly felt that what he was about to say was a little too strong, but he was really looking forward to it, so he suppressed his emotions, nodded, walked a few steps quickly, sat by Chu Yin's bed, and handed over the invitation letter in his hand.

"After the college entrance examination is over, the school will hold a graduation dance, and all graduates in the third grade of high school will participate." He explained, "I have already asked the teacher, and the candidates for the dance partner can be students from other schools."

Chu Yin pursed her lips, a little nervous: "You mean..."

"Would you like to go to my prom and be my dance partner?" Zhao Jiayang looked into his eyes with burning eyes.

Chu Yin blinked and couldn't believe it—although he didn't go to school, he knew how popular Zhao Jiayang was in school.So many excellent omega showed their hearts to him, but he turned around and went home to invite himself.

But he's just a beta, he's still in such poor health...would it embarrass him?

Chu Yin was a little hesitant, and after a while, she choked out a sentence: "But I can't dance."

It doesn't matter!I just want you to accompany me to this ball as my dance partner.As long as that person is you, it doesn't matter if you can dance or not.What's more, I can still teach you!

Zhao Jiayang's passionate love words were on his lips, but he was afraid that he would scare away his young sweetheart.After a moment of hesitation, he missed this opportunity to confess.

Chu Yin sighed seriously: "That can't be helped, you have come to beg me, I can't help you face."

Candy turned around in her mouth, and Chu Yin smiled and nodded at him: "I asked Uncle Xu to find a teacher. If you don't learn well and step on you, don't blame me."

"How can I blame you." Zhao Jiayang felt relieved, stretched out his hand and poked a small bump on Chu Yin's cheek that was protruded by the candy, in exchange for a dissatisfied stare, like a little milk cat scratching someone.He didn't care, and said with a smile, "I'll wear softer leather shoes then."

"Hey, do you think I will definitely not be able to learn?" Chu Yin was a little dissatisfied.

"I didn't say that. Don't just talk and frame good people." Zhao Jiayang smirked and rubbed Chu Yin's head, "It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

"Good night."

"You too, sleep well at night, don't kick the quilt."

The door was gently closed, and Chu Yin, who had just promised Zhao Jiayang to sleep well, leaned against the head of the bed, held the invitation letter in her hand and looked at it over and over for a long time, as if she couldn't put it down, as if she was playing with some priceless treasure.

"Master Chu, it's getting late." Xu Song couldn't help joking, "Go to bed early, the invitation letter won't run away with long legs."

"Uncle Xu! Why are you still here!" Surprised, Chu Yin put the invitation letter on the bedside table in embarrassment, pretended to cough lightly, slipped into the bed, and pulled the quilt seriously, "I'm going to sleep, good night Xu Bo."

Xu Song suppressed a smile, swallowed the rest of the teasing words, stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Chu Yin, then took the tray, turned off the light and left the room.

Chu Yin originally had a serious personality, let alone such a big event, so she started practicing ballroom dancing with her dance teacher the next day.He was not in good health, and he was out of breath and sweating profusely after practicing for a long time. Even Xu Song advised him not to work so hard, but he was content with it.

—— Zhao Jiayang invited him on such an important occasion as the prom, so he must not embarrass Zhao Jiayang.Chu Yin thought so.

But fate really likes to play tricks on people. He practiced hard for more than half a month, but in the end he failed to make it.

After Zhao Jiayang finished his college entrance examination, Mr. Tao waved his hand and gave him a yacht, which stopped at the port of a neighboring city.

Teenagers were at the time when curiosity was strong, Zhao Jiayang was a little moved, Chu Yin was also itchy, and after begging for a long time, Zhao Jiayang finally agreed to take him with him.

Perhaps it was because of the sea breeze blowing at sea for too long, Chu Yin started to have a low-grade fever soon after returning home.

His limbs became weak from the fever, and he shrank into a small ball under the quilt. After the doctor came, he scolded him severely, prescribed a lot of medicine, and strictly prohibited him from going out to play in the near future.As for the ball, forget it even more.

Zhao Jiayang felt distressed and blamed himself, and was extremely annoyed. He sat beside Chu Yin's bed and kept reflecting on himself, saying that it would be better if he didn't take him out to play.

Just as Chu Yin was about to speak, she lost her breath and coughed for a long time before recovering, but she gave a big smile.

"You also know that I am in poor health and have never gone out to sea before. I am really happy that you are willing to take me out this time. It doesn't matter if I am sick. Besides, I insisted on going with you. What's the matter?" Seeing that Zhao Jiayang was still looking sullen, he stretched out his hand and poked his arm, "You don't have to miss the prom because of this, there's still time to ask other classmates."

Chu Yin didn't know that it was possible to change partners in the middle of the dance, and she was a little worried that Zhao Jiayang would appear alone in the arena, so she racked her brains to comfort her: "Since I have no fate with this dance, I won't force it. The most indispensable in Kyushu It's just a banquet, and there will be many dances in the future, I'm afraid that you will find me annoying if you dance with me too much in the future."

The sun was shining outside the window, Chu Yin made a promise with a smile, Zhao Jiayang stared at him for a while, and finally nodded.

Chu Yin's thoughts at the time were very simple. This was nothing more than a high school prom, big or small.He really wanted to be by Zhao Jiayang's side at this time, but unfortunately his body didn't allow it, so forget it.

Just like what he said when comforting Zhao Jiayang, they will have many more important moments in the future, so there is no need to rush this moment.

He was not in good health, and always followed the doctor's advice to go to bed early and get up early, and never stayed up late, but on the day of the prom, because he couldn't get in touch with Zhao Jiayang, he stayed up until the early morning.

Even Mrs. Tao went back to her room for a beauty sleep an hour ago—she went shopping with her little sister the next day, and before she left, she told Chu Yin that these high school students who had been devastated by the college entrance examination were inappropriate when they played, Zhao Jiayang was not sure She went to renew the stall with her friends, and advised Chu Yin to go to bed early. If Zhao Jiayang didn't come back after waking up, she would arrest him herself.

Chu Yin promised well, and obediently went back to her room to read, but actually didn't read a single word.

The heavy drowsiness was like a black hole constantly devouring his consciousness. Chu Yin was so sleepy that he nodded, but he was always worried about Zhao Jiayang's safety. He went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water several times before finally waiting. A headlight.

Wearing slippers, he ran to the gate of the main house in three steps at a time, but saw a completely unfamiliar car.

Zhao Jiayang closed his eyes, frowned tightly, with a painful expression on his face, and fell into the arms of a female omega in a dress skirt. Omega helped him get out of the car with some difficulty, while the servant of the Tao family stood aside, not sure whether he should step forward to help him.

"What's going on here?"

"I've been depressed for too long in high school, and I finally scored after the college entrance examination. Everyone has liberated their nature." The omega with exquisite makeup casually complained, "The bunch of alphas in them don't know how much they can drink. He was my dance partner, and when I was about to leave, I found him lying there alone, and I couldn’t unlock his phone, so I stopped the car and sent him back first.”

"Fortunately, I have been here with Dad a few times before, and I still remember your home address, otherwise I would have to take him to a hotel to get a room." Omega reluctantly supported Zhao Jiayang to stand on the ground, and smiled at Chu Yang, "Are you Chu Yin? Hello, my name is Yan Xin. I've heard him mention you all the time, but I haven't seen you when I came to your house a few times ago."

She was putting on a generous air, but Chu Yin's pupils suddenly constricted for a moment, as if she had seen a ghost.

He remembers her.The Yan family had some business dealings with the Tao family. She followed her father to the Tao family's ancestral house for several lessons. Zhao Jiayang met her once when he was a sophomore in high school.

At that time, Mr. Tao and Mrs. Yan were chatting in the tea room. Chu Yin was not in good health. The family never asked him to accompany the guests on such social occasions, but if he appeared in front of people, it would be too impolite to go and have a few words with him. up.

Chu Yin hid in the corner of the yard to read, but heard a female voice from a distance, so she leaned over to take a look out of curiosity——

Yan Xin took Zhao Jiayang's arm, and coquettishly said that he wanted him to take him to see Tao's greenhouse. Zhao Jiayang's response was very gentlemanly, but he was not alienated, so he seemed to have a good relationship.

Chu Yin's personality is precocious, and she has long realized that she has some ambiguous feelings for Zhao Jiayang, but she has been hesitant because of various concerns.But she was generous and straightforward, and she didn't bother to hide her affection for Zhao Jiayang.

...and Zhao Jiayang did not refuse.

This scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman deeply hurt Chu Yin's eyes, and he hurriedly avoided it, and even stayed in the room during dinner with the excuse of feeling unwell.Mr. Tao has always spoiled him. Not only did he not blame him, but he also let him rest earlier, and he would help explain to the guests.

Later, Chu Yin heard her name from Zhao Jiayang a few times, and knew that she was a well-known host in school, very popular with students, and had a good relationship with Zhao Jiayang, but...

Chu Yin did not expect to see her today.

"Hello, Miss Yan. I'm sorry, I was in poor health when you came home last time, so I couldn't see you." Chu Yin nodded, "Thank you for sending my second brother back today. A drunk person is heavy. , let the servants come."

He turned sideways and asked the servants to take Zhao Jiayang back to his room, then turned to the kitchen and asked them to make hangover soup, and then put the bowl on Zhao Jiayang's bedside with his own hands.

Yan Xin has been following him step by step, Chu Yin is not easy to speak out, so she simply treats her as a transparent person.

There was a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and the night wind was very cold. Chu Yin was anxious, and coughed a little after walking too fast. The servant hurried to get him a piece of clothing and put it on his shoulders.

Yan Xin has been silently watching Chu Yin's every move. After he closed the door of Zhao Jiayang's room lightly, she suddenly said, "It's late, so I won't bother you."

"Then I'll see you off." Chu Yin didn't keep her, but took her downstairs according to the etiquette.

When she reached the porch, Yan Xin suddenly asked, "Do you like him?"

Chu Yin glanced at her in surprise, but she didn't expect her to see this.After a while, he quietly lowered his eyes and acquiesced.

"It's useless if you like him, you can't."
