The breath belonging to Alpha rushed towards his face, Shi Huai subconsciously took a step back.

I don't know if it's because he knows that he is about to split into an omega, Shi Huai feels a little out of breath at the moment.

Lu Chenzhou in front of him didn't seem to notice his abnormality. He pushed up the wet hair on his forehead and said with a gentle smile, "Are you going to the orphanage today? I'm going to buy something for Xiaoman and the others."

Shi Huai did not hide anything and nodded.

Lu Chenzhou seemed very happy, and proposed to go with Shi Huai.

It was just going the same way, Shi Huai did not refuse.

They first went to the convenience store to buy snacks and then walked towards the orphanage.

Walking side by side, Shi Huai scratched his neck, feeling a little irritable for no reason, and subconsciously took a step to the side.

He wanted to find a place where no one was around to take an extended-release pill.

The shadows of the two are elongated, extending two disjoint shadows under the setting sun.

Shi Huai looked around, and found a bathroom as far as he could see.

He looked at Lu Chenzhou, "Well, why don't you go first? I think..."

A piercing ringtone irritated the eardrums. Lu Chenzhou glanced at the phone and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, my mother is not in good health. I was afraid that she might not be able to contact me, so I set a special ringtone to scare you. ?"

Shi Huai shook his head, raised his hand to signal him to answer the phone first.

After picking up the phone, Lu Chenzhou's face suddenly changed, giving Shi Huai a heavier sense of oppression.

Not fear, but discomfort.

Lu Chenzhou looked anxious, "Shi Huai, can you do me a favor? My mother is burned, and I need someone to take her to see her."

His voice was almost pleading: "There's no one else in my house. So, please."

Entering Lu Chenzhou's house, Shi Huai felt a sense of depression rush over his face.

Furniture crammed into the cramped room.

A lump of thick and white quilt bulges, curled up in a dark corner, out of sunlight, only a faintly bright lamp warms up alone in the small space.

A few strands of the woman's withered and yellow long hair could be seen sticking out.

Lu Chenzhou knelt down in front of the woman, carefully trying to lift the quilt, but he didn't seem to dare to use too much strength.

His voice was as soft as coaxing a child, "Mom, I'm Xiaozhou, I'm back, come out and see me, okay?"

The person under the quilt did not move.

There was a trace of sadness in Lu Chenzhou's eyes, perhaps mixed with deeper and more complex emotions.

He said even more gently: "Mom, my friend is here. It's the very good-looking friend I told you about before. He's here to see you."

His hopeful eyes turned to Shi Huai.

Shi Huai walked over and said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Xiao Shi. I'll come and see you."

"Mom," Lu Chenzhou shook the corner of the quilt and sent it away, "His family lives in Gingko Bay, and he will leave if you don't come out."

After a while, the quilt was slowly dropped, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, staring at Shi Huai without blinking.

Shi Huai called out tentatively: "Hello, Auntie."

She just looked at Shi Huai, as if she was extremely serious, but also seemed to be looking at something else through him.

For some reason, Shi Huai felt a great sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this woman somewhere before.

However, before he could pull it out of his memory, his thoughts were interrupted by an urgent shout.

"Mother!"

The woman had closed her eyes at this time, lying quietly on the bed like dead wood, lifeless.

Shi Huai picked up the phone and wanted to call 120, but was stopped by Lu Chenzhou.

"It's an old problem, no need."

Lu Chenzhou seemed to have encountered this kind of thing many times. He helped his mother up, and carefully put on his clothes very skillfully.

Shi Huai went over to help her walk out together.

When walking towards the door, Lu Chenzhou accidentally touched the photo frame on the cabinet.

He was startled, carefully picked up the photo frame, stroked and reset it.

Shi Huai saw that there was only half of the photo album, which had obvious signs of being torn apart, and there was a woman on it.

Young and energetic.

Shi Huai's eyes widened suddenly.

When he got outside, he came back to his senses and finally understood why Lu Chenzhou said he needed his help.

There is a motorcycle parked in the alley, which looks a bit old.

Shi Huai hesitated, "Shall I take a taxi? It's not bumpy and it's faster."

Lu Chenzhou was pushing the cart, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at him quietly.

Shi Huai felt a little strange in his heart.

"what happened?"

Lu Chenzhou smiled and continued to push the motorcycle around.

"It's okay. My mother doesn't like taking taxis."

Shi Huai had no choice but to help the woman get on the motorcycle with him, and supported her from behind.

The motorcycle started, a little bumpy.

In fact, Shi Huai didn't ride a motorcycle very often, and it was a bit uncomfortable to ride a motorcycle.

However, his heart was in a mess, he looked at the car glass from time to time, secretly inspecting Lu Chenzhou's mother through the glass, lost in thought.

He was sure that she was the woman in the photo.

However, in the photo, she is smiling brightly and full of hope, while the person in front of her is lifeless and almost withered.

He didn't know what made such a big change in a person.

He was in a panic.

Lu Chenzhou was also watching the people behind him on the car mirror.

Seeing the slight expression slowly appearing on Shi Huai's face, an indistinct smile appeared on his lips.

The hand gripping the handlebar was tight.

To Shi Huai's surprise, Lu Chenzhou did not drive to the hospital, but stopped at a clinic.

There is only one doctor in the clinic, and it seems that this is not the first time they have been here.

The doctor came out and helped Lu Chenzhou's mother to the bed inside, without asking any more questions, he directly closed the curtain.

Lu Chenzhou sat on the steps of the door with his head down.

"Does Auntie do this often? Have you been checked in the hospital?" Shi Huai sat down beside him.

Lu Chenzhou buried his head in his arms, his voice muffled.

"It's been more than ten years. It's not that I haven't checked it. She doesn't want to get better."

Lu Chenzhou raised his head, with hatred in his eyes.

"Since my dad ran away with that woman, she has become like this."

He turned his head to look at Shi Huai, "Can you imagine that? She used to love to laugh."

If only from the appearance of seeing her just now, Shi Huai really couldn't imagine it.

Her eyes were blank, and when she looked at people with a stiff face, she even gave people a sense of eerie, eerie, terrifying.

"I just saw the picture, she looks good when she smiles."

Lu Chenzhou laughed at himself.

"That was in the past. I can only find a little trace of my childhood memory through photos."

"When I was young, my parents were very affectionate. At that time, my mother was always very happy. She was a warm-hearted and kind person who always brought happiness to those around her."

Enthusiastic and kind.

Shi Huai silently chewed these two words.

Indeed, he thought.

"And all of this, our family, was destroyed abruptly because of that woman's appearance."

"She seduced my dad and made him come home later and later. Later, he came home to see my mother and me less and less. When I was seven years old, he left and never came back."

"My mother never laughed again. Her mental state was getting worse and worse. I knew every night that she was crying under the covers."

"This kind of life lasted for a long time, and it finally affected her physical condition. Did you notice when you helped her just now? She is so tall, only eighty catties..."

Shi Huai's heart shook, and then he felt endless discomfort.

He thought of his mother.

The afterglow of the setting sun was swallowed by the darkness, and he looked at the somewhat yellowed curtain under the incandescent lamp, feeling a little dazed.

Lu Chenzhou's mother fell asleep and stayed in the clinic.

When the two went out to eat, Shi Huai called out Xi Sheng who lived nearby, and brought along Xi Sheng's younger sister, Xi Han, who was in the first year of junior high school.

When Xi Sheng came over, he was obviously surprised to see that the person with Shi Huai was Lu Chenzhou.

The first sentence he spoke was: "Why didn't Ji Yu come?"

"His father is coming home today."

Shi Huai asked them to sit down and went to the front desk.

Xi Han is a very lively girl. After greeting Lu Chenzhou, she arranged the dishes and dishes very quickly.

"Xi Sheng, move the ribs over for me."

"You sit down, I'll do it." When Shi Huai came back, he brought a can of orange juice and exchanged fruit wine with Xi Han.

Xi Han let out a "wow" and his eyes lit up, "Thank you brother Huai! How do you know that I like to drink juice recently?"

After Xi Han finished speaking, Xi Sheng knocked on the head, "Call him to know Brother Huai, why did you call me?"

Xi Han stuck out his tongue, slightly.

Shi Huai smiled, and listened to Xi Han talking to Lu Chenzhou.

"What's the name of this brother, brother Huai, why don't you introduce me?"

Lu Chenzhou smiled warmly, "My name is Lu Chenzhou."

"Oh! Brother Xiaozhou!"

Xi Han, a little girl, usually has a sweet mouth. Guan Shi Huai, Ji Yu, and Jian Yiyang all call her elder brother, so she calls her own brother by his first name.

Now that he can call brother to Lu Chenzhou whom he just met, Xi Sheng feels even more frustrated.

Xi Han is extroverted, and she will not be left alone when she is there, and she can blend in very naturally when she is with her brothers.

At this moment, she has already talked about a boy she likes recently, he is an Alpha, and he is orange-flavored.

Shi Huai raised his eyebrows, "So that's what you meant when you said that you like drinking orange juice recently."

"Yes, yes." Speaking of someone he likes, Xi Han's eyes light up, but this bit of admiration quickly ignites into gossip.

"Brother Huai, what kind of person do you like? And what kind of pheromone do you like?"

Shi Huai had been asked this question many times.

Shi Huai thought about it.

"Well. Be smart."

He said it as if casually, with a lazy tone.

Xi Han's gossip soul was burning, "What about the appearance? Do you have any requirements?"

A person suddenly came into Shi Huai's mind, and his back suddenly tensed.

The tall and straight boy rode a bicycle into the campus, blending perfectly into the rush of people.

Shi Huai could always find him in the crowd at a glance.

He is dazzling.

Thinking of Ji Yu, Shi Huai unconsciously bent his lower lip.
