evening star evening star

After the Qingming Festival, time slowly enters Lixia.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, when I was woken up by the phone, the sound of rain that started to sound from noon was still outside the window.

Drizzling, with no intention of stopping.

Lu Wanxing pushed open the window to see the rain outside, picked out a sweater with a hood, put on the hat, and walked into the rain with his head down.

After buying the ice cream and inhibitor that Lu Xi wanted, he took a taxi to his cheap brother's residence.

Lu Xi's estrus period is not very punctual, and there is often no warning. Lu Wanxing also helps him run errands like this.

The two handed over the money at the door and the other handed over the goods, often even omitting the greetings of brothers when they met.

But something is different today.

Lu Wanxing rang the doorbell first, but no one answered.

He waited for a while and tried to call Lu Xi. He didn't know whether it was because the sound insulation was too good or Lu Xi went out, but nothing happened.

The relationship between Lu Wanxing and Lu Xi is neither far nor close, there is very little brotherly care for each other in getting along, but the omega's estrus period is considered a major event, so he didn't turn around and leave immediately.

He continued to wait for another 10 minutes, during which he called Lu Xi three times and sent five messages.

All these messages disappeared without a trace, and after they entered the electromagnetic waves, there was no response.

After doing this, Lu Wanxing put the things Lu Xi wanted by the door.

I didn't take a taxi on the return trip, walked nearly three kilometers, took two buses and one subway, and it was almost eight o'clock when I got home.

It was dark and the rain hadn't stopped.

The sweater on Lu Wanxing's body was wet and then dry, and then it was wet again after drying, and now it was tightly attached to the skin.

This area is the eastern suburb of Haicheng. The population density of the residential area is not lower than that of the city center. There are many vendors selling vegetables on the street. He stopped by to buy ingredients for one person.

Everyone was picky and picky, and they loved bargaining. In comparison, Lu Wanxing's silent customers who only bought two yuan of tofu and two spring onions were not particularly annoying.

He cooked a small pot of soup with tofu and minced meat left over from making dumplings for his birthday last week, and served it with a bowl of white rice. He was very full and finally warmed up.

Night is the time when Lu Wanxing is more active, and his inspiration is endless.

This day was not going well, he was stuck in the stage of grading, and when he received a call from Lu Xi, he realized that he had done this step for three hours.

Lu Xi's voice was disturbed.

Lu Wanxing couldn't speak, it sounded like he was shaking, like he was drunk, but his tone was very serious, unlike Lu Xi.

Lu Xi said, "Lu Wanxing, I've been marked."

The information carried in this sentence exceeded expectations. Lu Wanxing held the phone and couldn't find any suitable answer for a while.

Lu Xi said it again with a crying sound: "I was marked."

When the two arrived at the special emergency department of the pheromone department, Lu Xi was pinching the coat of unknown origin that was draped over his shoulders with both hands, his legs were still weak, and he was almost completely leaning on Lu Wanxing.

"The data show that no marking occurred."

At Lu Xi's request, the doctor repeatedly compared the test sheets and still came up with such a conclusion.

Seeing that Lu Xi's eyes widened and he still refused to accept it, and was still begging him to prescribe some medicine for emergency de-marking, the doctor looked helpless.

"Patient, calm down, what I have seen is that you have not been marked...it is not called marking when you have sex during estrus, more than 50.00% of the pheromone is injected into the gland, and the genital cavity is repeatedly knotted, these things You should be able to recall whether you did it or not."

"Also, a mark is a mark, and no one can change it. There is no medicine to remove the mark."

Countless accidents happened during the estrus period. The doctor was obviously not unfamiliar with this kind of request, and his tone became impatient. He pressed the call button and told the nurse: "Next."

Walking out of the door of the emergency room, Lu Xi sniffed, her eyes were red, and she was still emotionally trapped.

In a daze, he asked Lu Wanxing, "Are you okay? I wasn't marked?"

Lu Wanxing was grabbed by him just now, rubbed his wrist and said, "The doctor said no."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanxing took a step to the side, avoiding Lu Xi's hug, and did not respond to his ecstatic laugh, but said, "I'm going back, remember to transfer the money for shopping for you this afternoon to me." .”

Lu Xi immediately transferred 1000 yuan in WeChat. Lu Wanxing didn't say anything, clicked to collect, and reminded him: "Find someone to help you write the paper."

"Oh." Lu Xi scratched her head, "I forgot, how much?"

Lu Wanxing said ten thousand.

Lu Xi was immersed in great joy, and had no time to sneer and sneer as usual, and forwarded it to him.

The car that picked up Lu Xi arrived, he waved his back to Lu Wanxing, got in the car and left, Lu Wanxing walked for a while, and then boarded the round-the-city bus that operated all night.

Lu Xi was silent for a while.

Lu Wanxing lived a black and white life upside down, busy drawing and submitting articles, without Lu Xi looking for him, there was only peace in his life, and he didn't pay much attention to the passage of time.

When he received a call from Lu Xi, his first sentence was still Lu Wanxing's speechless: "Lu Wanxing, I've decided, you marry Shen Hewei for me."

"..."

Lu Xi said: "During this time, I have thought a lot... Last time, I thought that the feeling of being marked last time may never be forgotten in this life... It's terrible. I found that I really couldn't accept being marked by someone who didn't Stranger sign of affection, I will not marry Shen Hewei, Lu Wanxing, go for me."

Lu Wanxing put the paintbrush in his hand far away, and after he finished speaking, he asked, "Does your dad know? Do Shen Hewei agree?"

Lu Xi didn't answer directly, but said: "Anyway, I won't marry Shen Hewei. Don't you want to study abroad and hold exhibitions? After marrying him, these are nothing at all. And I will give you a fortune money."

"Lu Wanxing, think about it carefully."

Lu Wanxing himself didn't need to think about it, but he really didn't know how to tell Lu Xi.

Said that he had chased after Shen Hewei a long time ago, but Shen Hewei looked down on him, and blocked all his contact information half a year ago?

However, the communication between Lu Xi and Lu Wanxing has always been unilateral orders. He left his opinion and hung up the phone.

Lu Wanxing knew that this was what Lu Xi had tacitly agreed to.

On the day we made an appointment to meet Shen Hewei, the weather was very bad.

Dark, dry, and windy, with dead branches swaying in the wind.

Yesterday Lu Wanxing deliberately went to bed two hours early, but when she looked in the mirror, she still felt pale.

It was said that it was a meeting with Shen Hewei, but it was actually a charity dinner hosted by a company under the Shen Family Group.

There were many familiar names in the business and entertainment circles. The ceremony was grand, but there were many people and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Lu Wanxing was taken by Lu Xi to several clothing stores, and along the way he was introduced as Lu Xi's younger brother.

He and Lu Xi had the same father and half mother, and were born only a few months later than Lu Xi. During the growth process, this should be the first time that Lu Wanxing has benefited from their relationship.

Under Lu Xi's gesture, the clerk continued to help Lu Wanxing tidy her hair.

After finishing it, the store manager looked at Lu Wanxing and said, "Your lips are pretty in color, so you don't need to put on anything...you look so pretty."

He is also an omega, with a friendly tone, Lu Wanxing smiled at him.

Lu Xi also looked around at Lu Wanxing.

He cared more about this meeting than Lu Wanxing himself, so he had a rare serious expression on his face.

"Will white be too ordinary?" Lu Xi asked the clerk, "I think the pink one in the window is also okay, which star wore it last month."

The clerk said the name of a new trafficker, smiled and said: "Mr. Lu has a good temperament, not ordinary."

Lu Xi didn't think the clerk was flattering, so he curled his lips at Lu Wanxing: "They said you look like your mother, I think so, you don't look manly at all."

On the way to the hotel, Lu Xi repeatedly told Lu Wanxing: "Don't talk, and you don't have to answer when someone comes to you. Just have a glass of wine and something to eat."

Lu Wanxing asked for the first time: "Where's Shen Hewei?"

Lu Xi glanced at Lu Wanxing twice, and suddenly laughed, "You thought you were going on a blind date?"

"Shen Hewei doesn't have time to sit down with you and talk about whether he likes swimming or cycling in his free time. I don't have that much face. I don't know how much effort it took to get the admission ticket."

During this period of time, Lu Wanxing watched Lu Xi jumping up and down and wanting to marry Shen Hewei for him, even if he cried and made trouble at home and hanged himself. Two days ago, he said that he was going to see Shen Hewei today, thinking that he had really made a lot of progress.

It turns out that the tickets are still unknown.

He was no longer so nervous, but felt that the bow tie on his neck was uncomfortable. He just pulled it, but was stopped by Lu Xi: "Don't move around."

As Lu Xi said, during the whole dinner, the two of them held a glass of wine, eating two bites here and two bites there.

Lu Wanxing ate more seriously, and didn't notice when Lu Xi left and when she came back.

He grabbed Lu Wanxing's arm and walked out: "Let's go, let's go, it's over."

Lu Wanxing didn't understand why it was over, Lu Xi said: "Shen Hewei saw you, the next thing is beyond my decision, just wait."

Originally, Lu Wanxing didn't take this to heart: It's not that Shen Hewei had never seen him before, so he didn't like him, or he didn't like him.

But this time, the waiting time was extremely short - after leaving the hotel, Lu Wanxing was still on the round-the-city bus back home, and Lu Xi sent a screenshot of the chat.

The chat partner was Shen Hewei, Lu Xi asked "How is it?" Shen Hewei replied "OK".

Lu Wanxing was a little dazed.

At first, he thought that Shen Hewei had blocked his Wechat a long time ago, and felt a little sad, but then he thought of Shen Hewei who he had seen in the financial news, and became nympho again.

Shen Hewei was born with the noble and alienated S-level alpha. He was undoubtedly handsome, but the first thing people noticed was his indifference.

The anchor asked him "what do you think of the stock price fluctuation after Hoshino's listing?" Lu Wanxing didn't understand finance, but he always remembered his short answer, and also remembered his expression that never melted from the beginning to the end.

The anchor even made an exception and didn't try to ease the serious atmosphere when the ending came, asking Shen and Wei questions about their future marriage partner.

She posted a social feed after the show aired, saying, "Whoever sits across from him would not want to ask this kind of question, because that would make him look stupid."

The material for Lu Wanxing's imagination is barren, but I always feel that the expressions of Shen and Wei when they say "OK" are no better than those in financial programs.

Lu Xi: [Your good days are coming, being the boss's wife makes you happy to death]

Lu Wanxing followed his words: [Yes]

He also sent an emoji of a kitten riding a motorcycle, shaking his head and having fun without a heart.

Lu Xi was a little disgusted, and reminded: [Speak less]

【Stop sending such childish things to others】

【At least don't be discovered by Shen Hewei before you get married that you are a vase with an empty brain】

Lu Wanxing replied "Oh", leaning her head against the window glass of the bus, her index finger gently pressing the cool frame of the phone.

Lu Xi was determined not to marry Shen Hewei, but his father, Lu Zerong, had nothing to do.

Except for the accidental product Lu Wanxing, he and his wife have only one child, Lu Xi.

Now, although Lu Zerong said that Lu Xi was messing around, Lu Xi's insistence did not seem to be a spur of the moment. The longer the time, the stronger his determination.

As a last resort, Lu Zerong also checked Shen Hewei's private life in private.

Although it is not too much to find anything with this kind of thing, and it is purely self-inflicted, because there is no way to control it, but the result is still unexpected-Shen Hewei is similar to what the outside world said, living like a monk.

It's not that Lu Zerong is so powerful that he casually checks on Shen Hewei, but that Shen and Wei really don't have any private lives.

It seems that the meaning of his existence is to work.

In fact, this was also the reason why Lu Zerong was optimistic about the marriage between Lu Xi and Shen Hewei at first.

Needless to say, the benefits brought by the strong alliance to Shen and Lu, personally, Shen and Wei are also rare high-quality marriage partners.

At the beginning, Lu Xi's attitude was neither enthusiastic nor opposed, and let the two families advance the progress.

It's a pity, a month ago, something suddenly happened, as if overnight, Shen and Wei became monsters and beasts, and Lu Xi refused to say anything.

Rumors of the marriage between the Lu and Chen families have already been spread, and now that they've got their hands on the door, it's no longer a matter of fact. No matter which family looks down on the other in the end, it's not a matter of face.

The bigger the business, the more important the reputation is. Looking around, I haven't heard of regretting a marriage in the past 20 years.

Fortunately, he still has an omega son.

Lu Zerong didn't really hate Lu Wanxing.

Although he has no relationship with Lu Wanxing's mother, and the child is a product of accidental estrus, it is not Lu Wanxing's fault after all.

But after Lu Wanxing was born, Lu Zerong's wife and Lu Xi's mother suffered from depression, which was so severe that she was bedridden.

Lu Zerong and his wife face each other day and night, so it is impossible not to be affected by his wife's emotions.

He brought up Lu Wanxing, largely by providing some material conditions. In terms of emotions, even Lu Zerong dared to say that he had never been abused.

A few years ago, since Lu Wanxing's mother passed away, he had almost zero contact with the Lu family.

Last winter, the city where Lu Wanxing's school was located was affected by a blizzard, and Lu Zerong donated a large sum of money.

This kind of thing is common to him. The group has a department dedicated to connecting with various public welfare organizations, which is part of the image of the consortium.

It was very later that Lu Zerong connected Blizzard with Lu Wanxing.

At that time, it was almost summer, and the boss who cooperated with him was concerned and asked him if Lu Wanxing had been affected by Blizzard.

Their parent-child relationship is evident.

It's not surprising that Lu Wanxing is willing to do this for Lu Xi.

Since he was a child, he had no opinions, because he was not valued by his family, and he gradually lost his sense of existence.

When you think about him, he's always in the corner.

But if he doesn't want to notice him, he will never jump out to seek attention.

Lu Wanxing never rejected anything. Lu Zerong knew that when he was a child, among his playmates, he often played the role of doormat.

In addition, Shen and Wei's choice of marriage is not a bad choice, especially in the case of marriage, Lu Wanxing's attitude at this time is also reasonable.

To Lu Wanxing, this could even be considered a good thing.

Lu Xi refused to say anything, and even made plans to go abroad.

He clamored to study design, and asked Lu Zerong to choose a school to help him prepare a letter of recommendation.

Lu Zerong sighed and let himself go.

This childish tantrum continued until Shen Hewei's secretary team contacted Lu Zerong.

The collaboration faces a next step, and so does their engagement.

Although everyone subconsciously thought that it would be Lu Xi who would marry Shen and Wei, after all, it had never been publicly announced, and the prudent actions of the two families did not go wrong.

After Shen Hewei relaxed and accepted the fact of changing his marriage partner, Lu Wanxing was arranged to show up at several dinner parties with Shen Hewei.

At first, they were not male companions, and the two of them didn't even have any contact. Later, they were photographed eating alone and appeared on the tabloids twice.

The public opinion was laid in place, and the marketing release had already shown the development of the two people's relationship, and finally announced the marriage of Lu Wanxing and Shen Hewei.

On the night of the engagement, the two sent off the guests according to the procedure.

When the lanterns first came on, Shen Hewei and Lu Wanxing were only half a fist away, shaking hands and greeting people frequently, and they didn't show any impatience, but their expressions were always indifferent.

One of the photographers in charge of the shooting approached, signaling Shen Hewei and Lu Wanxing to get closer, so as to take the last frame of the night.

Lu Wanxing subconsciously tried to hold Shen Hewei's arm, but he avoided it calmly, and changed to a very gentlemanly hugging waist without physical contact.
