There was silence in the air.

Gu Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, stared at the wooden sign that was blown around by the wind for a while, then smiled self-deprecatingly, then stretched out his hand gently, and pushed open the iron door that was concealed.

He really should go see a doctor.

he thinks.

At a certain moment just now, he actually thought it was that person who came back to see him.

He closed the door again, and as he walked slowly inside, he sent a message to the housekeeper on his contact list.

The other party is an honest and sincere beta, and quickly replied that he didn't remember whether the door was closed or not, maybe he left too quickly and forgot, I'm really sorry.

Gu Yuanzhi paused his fingers, raised his eyes slightly and scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that the surrounding things and the little things that were biting his trouser legs and spinning around under his feet were all intact, he replied "it's okay".

After a while, the other party called.

Gu Yuanzhi picked up the cat and walked into the house, while pressing the answer button:

"what happened?"

The other end of the phone froze for a moment: "Mr. Gu, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Gu Yuanzhi was silent for a while, and then he realized that his voice was hoarse.

"It's okay." He said, "It's freezing."

"What's the matter with calling here?" He paused, "I remember that I have asked you to go home on vacation today and tomorrow."

The other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and said, "...that's right. Mr. Gu, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Well, as you know, my hometown is not in City A." He said, "When I came home this time, my wife told me that my mother was not feeling well, so I thought I'd better go back and take care of her, so after the next year... "

"Understood." Gu Yuanzhi paused, "I will pay you this month's money. Say hello to the old man for me."

After that, he ignored the thank you words from the person on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone.

The cat in his arms gave a soft "meow" and rubbed against his neck.

It was still sunny in the afternoon, thinking that he would come back soon, the housekeeper put it outside the house to relax, but it snowed at night.

Gu Yuanzhi also thought of this, and drove here directly after seeing the weather.

He also thought that he would catch the cat in the warm cat litter that was prepared outside the house.

He lowered his eyes, pressed the cat into his arms, and said, "What are you running around?"

The other party opened its round eyes, as if realizing that the person in front of it was casually admonishing it, and gave a "meow" aggrievedly.

Unmoved, Gu Yuanzhi took out the key to open the door.

"I'm not him." He said flatly, "The act of acting like a baby is useless to me. Next time I run around in such a cold day, I will throw you away. Do you believe it?"

Probably the word "lose" had an effect. This time, the little thing didn't even dare to meow, and shrank straight into his arms.

It's cold now.

Gu Yuanzhi thought.

He opened the door and changed the lock. When he was changing his shoes, he saw fresh green plants next to the shoe cabinet.

The phone call just now came to his mind again. He lowered his eyes and looked at the kitten who had already run to the living room.

... If I have to say it, it is actually mainly because of it.

Cats need people to accompany and take care of them, and he has to catch up with the schedule, so he rarely comes here.

Beta has worked with him for a long time, because of the high salary, he has always worked hard, but occasionally he tentatively asked him why he didn't take the cat back.Not only him, but the remaining members of Starry have also tentatively brought up this topic.

Gu Yuanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers——

There seemed to be residual heat there.

After a long time, he smiled slightly.

"But I don't want to." He said softly.

"If you're gone, he must be lonely here alone, he's so afraid of the dark.

"……I can not let it go."

"My name is Lu Lianchen."

When returning the suitcase to the other party, Gu Yuanzhi heard the other party speak in a low voice.

He paused his hands, raised his eyes casually, and noticed the reddened ears of the other party.

Are you nervous?

he thinks.

It's really rare.

With the development of the times and several omega affirmative action in history, omega in today’s era has long been able to get rid of the previous status of "plaything". They go to the same school as alpha, and they are evenly matched with alpha in terms of positions and even tit for tat. In terms of personality It is also much bolder and warmer than before.

The No. [-] middle school he attended puts a lot of emphasis on affirmative education, and he also met an omega who confessed boldly with roses in his arms in the past. It is really rare for an omega to blush after introducing himself like this.

If Gu Yuanzhi hadn't known that his pair of wicked parents were not so wicked, he would have thought that the other party was a child bride that his parents had forcefully brought over for him.

but……

It's none of his business.

Gu Yuanzhi thought.

He doesn't care whether his neighbor is a beautiful omega or a strong alpha, as long as the other party doesn't start dancing at [-]:[-] in the middle of the night like the previous tenant, then he won't do anything like call the police directly after politely knocking on the door but no results.

"Gu Yuanzhi." He withdrew his hand and said calmly, "The supermarket is in Building No. 12, and Aunt Rong is playing cards there before eleven o'clock in the evening. If you need anything, you can go to her."

After all, he stopped looking into the other person's eyes, and after hearing the other person's soft "thank you", he pressed the elevator and went downstairs.

To Gu Yuanzhi, this was just a small episode.

In the next few days, when he came back, he would unconsciously pay attention to the opposite door, but that door seemed to be closed all the time.After a long time, Gu Yuanzhi also forgot about it.

He is learning to compose recently, and when he first came into contact with him, he always tended to fall into a situation where he forgot to sleep and eat. During the day, Gu Yuanzhi had to take culture classes, and when he got home at night, he would just shut himself in the study.

The waste manuscripts were thrown away one after another, and his mood became more and more irritable.

Until one night, when there was lightning and thunder, he came out of the house to pour himself a glass of water, and suddenly heard a long-lost sound from the opposite room.

There was a knock at the door, and then, the sound of keys and footsteps.

Are you going out so late?

Gu Yuanzhi thought.

He is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but he just remembered what Aunt Rong once said, that the other party lives alone, after thinking about it, he still opened the door.

The other party didn't seem to expect that he was still up so late, so he raised his head and glanced at him, a flash of panic flashed in his clear eyes for a certain moment.

But soon, he reacted: "Gu..."

"Yuanzhi." Gu Yuanzhi said, and then paused, "Come out to have a look when you hear the movement. Why are you going out so late?"

While speaking, he had already seen the white T and slacks on the other party's body, and a pair of clean canvas shoes on his feet. It was the pure and harmless appearance that Gu Yuanzhi remembered.

"Go to the supermarket to buy something." Omega hesitated, and answered him in a low voice.

Gu Yuanzhi stopped drinking water for a moment.

"The supermarket is closed." After a while, he said.

The other side was stunned.

"Is there anything missing?" He asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No...no need." The other party quickly waved his hand, "Well, then I'll go to the convenience store outside the community, thank you."

Gu Yuanzhi: "..."

He rubbed his temples, feeling a dull pain there.

When an omega goes out so late, safety is the first consideration, not to mention whether to close the door.

...Didn't his parents tell him?

Or is it the same as his parents, who care about his birth and don't care about him, just throw him here and ignore him?

He was still thinking that the elevator was already slowly climbing up, and just as Gu Yuanzhi thought about it, it had nothing to do with him anyway, when the voice-activated lights in the corridor went out.

There was a sound of thunder, and through the light of his own home, he clearly saw the pupils of the person on the other side shrank suddenly.

He suddenly realized something.

"Scared?" he asked.

The other party shook his head immediately.

After a while, he seemed uncomfortable being stared at by Gu Yuanzhi, hesitated for a while, and then gave a soft "hmm".

He has a pair of deer-like eyes, and when he looks at people, he has a cute and innocent feeling for no reason.

Gu Yuanzhi looked at him for a long time while holding the water glass, then turned sideways.

"Come in." He said lightly.

Holding the bag, the boy raised his eyes in surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of being alone." He said, "I'm not sleeping yet, so I'll just come in and stay for a while."

After all, he brought someone a pair of slippers, and turned around on his own.

"Pa-ta", the lights in the room went out.

In the corner of the living room, the little orange cat retreated into its nest, rolling itself into a ball sleepily.

Just now, it was checked by the veterinarian forcibly, and its favorite snacks were confiscated because it went out for running around. Rolling failed to make the other party change their minds, but they changed hands and were sent back to the nest.

...it didn't even get a goodnight pet.

The more he thought about it, the more sad it became. It let out a few mournful groans, and its gaze fell to a corner hidden by the door.

It has its familiar smell there.

The familiar, long-lost taste makes it feel at ease.

It doesn't know why the smell has not gone away, but the owner can't smell it, but it needs comfort now.

It licked its paws, jumped out of the cat's nest lightly, walked across the living room, then pushed open the ajar door with its paws, and slipped in.

Beta has already returned home, the original guest room is now empty, only the silent air.

It gave another "meow" in a low voice, but it didn't wait for an answer, so it came to a certain place with graceful steps.

That's a closet.

Tall and deep.

"Meow--"

It barked softly and scratched the closed door.

After a while, a soft sigh came from the cabinet, and then, the cabinet door was carefully pushed open.

A pair of cool hands stretched out, hugged it in, and then gently stroked its head.
