Perfect match.

On the first day they arrived in Luotan Town, they were picked up by Dai Xiao on this bridge.

At that time, Lily of the Valley was a little younger than now, unable to speak, and snuggling in He An's arms while sucking a pacifier.Cheng Xiu walked ahead with three heavy suitcases alone, looking for a place to stay from house to house.

There are nearly a hundred inns and youth hostels in Luotan Town, but after a whole morning of hard work, they couldn't find one willing to take them in. They all said that they were afraid that the baby would make noise and affect other guests.

He An knew that this was all an excuse.

The real reason is that they don't have enough cash to pay the rent in one lump sum, so they have to rely on part-time jobs to pay off part of the rent—Cheng Xiu is fine, he is a good-looking Beta, with four years of work experience in Jiusheng, he can be counted among the best in Luotan Town. Overkill for little use.

But what about He An?

He An is an Omega, who was tagged early, with a child who has not been weaned, and recovering from a serious illness. His physique is as thin as a piece of paper, and he is sick. Which boss is willing to give him a job?

The sun was very hot at noon that day, and after being rejected by the No.15 inn, He An was so weak that his lips turned white, and he couldn't walk.Cheng Xiu left his luggage and let him rest by the bridge with Lily of the Valley in his arms. He rented a cheap bicycle and rode all over the town to find a place to live.

With sharp eyes, Lily of the Valley spotted a group of ducks grooming on the shore.

Of course, not today's group.

The big ducks put their feathers in order, and their posture is elegant, while the ducklings are huddled together, arching into a fluffy ball of goose yellow.Ling Lan was watching intently, when a big orange cat suddenly came out halfway, with agility and vicious behavior, it jumped straight into the ducks, driving the ducks to flee in all directions, flapping their wings into the water.

Ling Lan was terrified, grabbed He An by the collar and cried loudly.

As soon as she cried, a wooden door next to her opened in response, and a muscular Alpha came out from under the signboard of "Qingguo Inn", wearing a racerback vest, pulling flip flops, and holding a bowl of perverted spicy beef instant noodles.He looked at the weeping Lily of the Valley on the bridge, and at the mighty and domineering orange cat under the bridge, and immediately scowled, "Six hundred and six, come up!"

The orange cat and bird didn't care about him, and continued to bully the duck on the bluestone slab, acting like a grandpa doing his own way.

Alpha was regarded as air by his ancestors, and his face was dull. He gestured twice in the air with a pair of chopsticks, and apologized to He An: "My cat has become a spirit, and I really can't control it. I'm sorry. How about...you bring the child in and sit down." sit?"

Five minutes later, He An sat under the shade of the flowers in the Qingguo Inn.

Wicker chairs, wooden tables, warm milk tea, lily of the valley and a small blue flower.

Alpha brought in the large suitcases one by one and stacked them side by side under the eaves.The sun was scorching hot, and he was doing physical work right after eating heavy spicy noodles. He was sweating all over his body, his well-developed arm muscles were shiny, and pheromones inevitably filled the air.But he didn't take advantage of others. The pheromone tasted very pure and did not contain sexually provocative ingredients.

He An was soothed by the powerful and friendly Alpha, and his headache was relieved a lot.

After moving the boxes, Alpha made a brief self-introduction: the name is Dai Xiao, the chief photographer, part-time diving instructor, and also the owner of this green fruit inn.

With a glimmer of hope, He An mentioned his plight of having nowhere to go. Without further ado, Dai Xiao got up and opened a door, asking him, "Is this room OK?"

This is a south-facing bedroom, spacious and tidy, with a large area of ​​sunlight, and decorated with epiphyllum-themed wall paintings.The location is on the first floor, which avoids the trouble of going up and down the stairs, and is far away from the gate, without being disturbed by the riverside bar. It is the best room in the whole inn.

He An was overwhelmed with flattery, and hurriedly said that he didn't need such a high salary, just a bed.

Dai Xiao smiled and said: "Don't be polite. You have seen my inn too. There is no business and there are many vacant rooms. Let alone one room, it is not a problem to spare ten rooms for you. If you feel uncomfortable, you usually take it with you. My daughter will go out for a couple of rounds, and my business will naturally come. To tell you the truth, the atmosphere in the town is too bad recently, and every inn is fighting for cats. Six hundred and sixty-six is ​​getting fatter, and he is also passive and sabotage. But other people’s fluffy milk cats. I have to find another way and create a new route to attract customers.”

He An still wanted to say something, and Dai Xiao said again: "Don't worry, I won't let you two live for free. If you have time, help me tidy up the yard, take care of the flowers and plants, cut the branches, and water them. It's time to pay the rent."

Dai Xiao has a straightforward temperament, finalizes the long-term stay with a few words, takes out his mobile phone, and changes the status of the theme room from "reservation accepted" to "reserved".After thinking about it again, I simply took it off the shelves.

"I, I have a friend who is traveling with me, he is a beta." He An remembered Cheng Xiu who was on the go, and quickly asked, "Can he live with us?"

When Dai Xiao heard the words, a calculating light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal, generously said: "It's okay, just come and stay."

Half an hour later, Cheng Xiu arrived panting after receiving the news.

He was sweating profusely all over his neck, and his skin was flushed with sunburn. He waved a leaf he picked up casually as a cattail fan, like a wild monkey from a remote mountain.At that time, He An went to take a nap with Ling Lan, and Dai Xiao was the only one in the huge yard.

Dai Xiao was not idle either, holding a planer, setting up an old wooden board about two meters long, and smoothing the surface of the board.

Cheng Xiu greeted him with a smile on his face, thanked him, and asked him which room he lived in.Dai Xiao looked up at him, with a blank expression on his face, then pointed to a cold-looking room under the stairs and said, "Squeeze with me. There is still room in my room, which is enough for you to set up a bed." .”

Cheng Xiu's smile froze: "Why?"

Dai Xiao was honest: "Save money."

"Then why does He An have a single room?"

Dai Xiao paused, put down the wide-bladed planer, and looked at Cheng Xiu with a look of "Are you mentally retarded?": "Because he is an Omega."

An adult Omega and an adult Alpha sleep in the same room, which is equivalent to bringing a piece of tender mutton to the tiger's mouth, and no matter how determined they are, they have to roll on the bed.Asking such a mentally handicapped question made Cheng Xiu feel like an idiot.

He scratched his neck, but he was still very resistant to living with an Alpha whom he met for the first time.

Creatures like Alpha are strong and savage, and always like to release pheromones indiscriminately.Although Cheng Xiu is not as sensitive as Omega, he still has a sense of self-protection. He agreed hastily without knowing the details of the other party, which is not much different from recklessly moving into the wolf's den.He said: "Then you can also make room for me, anyway, your inn..."

He looked around: "The occupancy rate is not high."

Dai Xiao immediately turned dark.

His inn is indeed about to close down, but this is a type of self-hacking, black-me-out type.When Cheng Xiu poked the sore spot, he said in a rough voice, "Hmph."

Cheng Xiu: "No, can't you?"

"No." Dai Xiao flatly refused, "I live well alone, and it is enough conscience to sacrifice my privacy to give you a bed. Don't push it too far."

He clicked his tongue twice, gave Cheng Xiu a ignorant and disdainful look, picked up the planer and continued to work.The curly wood flowers piled up layer by layer toward the feet, fluffy and soft, and quickly submerged the insteps.

While digging, he said: "Don't be unhappy, let me tell you this, every room in the inn is online, and if there is one less room, there will be less income. Recently, the competition in the inn is fierce, and the profit is not high. Gao, everything must be carefully calculated, and you can save if you can. I have already removed one theme room from the shelf. If I remove another one, I will definitely lose everything this year. You know how hard it is to earn money, the gang from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau How difficult are people?

"Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm hungry alone. My cat can't be hungry. Did you see that one when you came in? It's just the fat one squatting on the eaves. It eats eight meals a day. Howling like hell, and going to snatch the dog food from the Corgi next door, which completely embarrasses me. Just this cat, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will eat at least a few thousand dollars a year from me..."

Dai Xiao's eloquence is eloquent, clear and clear, from the food intake of Liuliu to the cost control of the inn, from the vicious competition in the industry to the bubble of the real economy, it can be summed up in one sentence: it is okay to use a bed, but it is not necessary to talk about empty rooms.

Cheng Xiu heard one head and two big ones, but he had no choice but to raise the small white flag and obey the assignment.

Then Dai Xiao patted the overalls and stood up, put down the planer, straightened the flattened board and knocked it hard on the ground, shaking off countless fine wood chips.

He moved the boards to the wall and put them away, pointed to the dilapidated house in the corner, and said to Cheng Xiu: "Do me a favor, go to the warehouse and find some more similar logs, I'll process the rest of the boards for you— —Pay attention, pick the ones with less mildew spots. They are all made from old beds, which have been piled up for several years, so it’s not easy to make a new bed.”

Cheng Xiu was dumbfounded: "What?!"

Dai Xiao saw how strange he was, and said in a rough voice, "What'what'? If you don't make a bed, do you pay for it yourself?"

"..."

Cheng Xiu looked up at the sky for three seconds, struggled to admit his fate, and went into the warehouse to pick out the bed boards.

The housing problem was "smoothly" resolved. In the afternoon, Cheng Xiu had a tailor-made bed - 1.2 meters in width and 1.8 meters in length.Lie down and turn over, every board of the bed creaked as if it was about to break.

Cheng Xiu was angry, and threatened Dai Xiao: "I turn around very often at night, and I might disturb you to death."

Dai Xiao looked indifferent: "You can turn around casually, and if you snore louder than me, I will lose."

"Hold."

The threat failed, Cheng Xiu gritted his teeth and cursed.

At night, the two of them went to bed in a stiff atmosphere.Cheng Xiu closed his eyes and rested his mind, lying still, and Dai Xiao suddenly said: "I think you should have three jobs if you have two jobs."

Damn it, do you want to save face?

Cheng Xiu bounced his butt, and the poor-quality bed board let out a mournful scream: "One area two? The lily of the valley is not yet six hundred and sixty-six, how dare you count it?!"

"Why are you so embarrassed? Babies are not considered human beings? How can you be a godfather without earning money for milk powder?"

Dai Xiaoshi was frank and frank, looking at Cheng Xiu with the same eyes as Zhou Papi watching a contractor, wishing to scrape off a layer of grease on the spot: "If you are an Omega, if there is even a slight possibility of developing into my daughter-in-law, I will not I’ve charged your rent, and at worst it’s a [-]% discount. But look at yourself, a Beta, with nothing special about him, and he looks... um..."

"What's wrong with me? Come on, finish your sentence, if you have the guts, finish it!"

Cheng Xiu was furious, and jumped off the bed as soon as he slapped the bed board, and rushed over to kill this stingy and mean-spirited Alpha: "You look down on Beta, don't you? If you rank higher in the alphabet, you will be dragged to the sky. Do you want me Can I recite the reverse order for you?"

Three seconds later, his hands were cut behind his back, and he was thrown back on the bed like a sack, with a pillow towel tied around his wrist, and he couldn't get it free.

Cheng Xiu's eyes were burning with hatred, and he twisted and scolded: "I still have three jobs, and you can't afford me for one job! Do you know how much my previous monthly salary was?"

Dai Xiao yawned lazily: "Since you have money, pay me half a year's rent first."

"..."

Cheng Xiu misfired for a second.

Dai Xiaole said, "Dare to Love is an electronic passbook, but you are a mouthful passbook?"

"Fuck off, I've exchanged all my money into fixed assets. A 140-square-meter house in the golden area of ​​Yuanjiang City Center, with a museum on the left and a theater on the right, is damn expensive. The little money you earn isn't even enough for the monthly payment. Wait for that The house is sold, and I promise to pay the rent in one lump sum... No, I want to buy the inn next door to you, decorate it, reduce the price, and grab your business."

Dai Xiao was even happier.

Vicious competition, I don't need to take action, the gangsters in the town who collect protection fees will immediately teach you how to behave.

Cheng Xiu didn't hear the ridicule in Dai Xiao's heart, thought that he had given up, and quickly enjoyed the pleasure of revenge, sarcastically said: "Hey, you are so kind, why don't you fall in love with my family He An? Listen to my advice Don’t Xiao think about He An, even if he is widowed, it’s not your turn. Do you know how awesome his Alpha was when he was alive? The total number of rooms in the inns in your town is not as many as his house.”

"Shut up, talk so much."

Dai Xiao grabbed a quilt and threw it to Cheng Xiu, took two earplugs to plug his ears, turned over and went to sleep.

On the first day of living in the Qingguo Inn, Cheng Xiu and Dai Xiao formed a bond.Even He An didn't expect that two people with such good personalities would dislike each other and make a mess.

Cheng Xiu hated Dai Xiao because of a bed, and always picked trivial things to complain to He An, trying to portray Dai Xiao as a Grandet who was in the eyes of Qian, the kind that even a steel needle could not pick out.However, He An knew that Dai Xiao was kind-hearted and a very likable Alpha.

When Dai Xiao is wearing a vest, showing his flowery arms, and carrying a six hundred and six on his broad shoulders, the picture is strangely inconsistent, but also strangely warm, which makes people feel nostalgic for the life in Luotan Town.

Nine months passed by like this, like a canon, repeating, repeating, and gradually incorporating a little wonderful difference.

Today there was no disturbance from Liuliu, the ducks finished combing their hair, jumped into the water, swayed in circles of blue waves and tree shadows, got through the low bridge hole, and swam collectively towards the east of the town.

"Goodbye, Yaya."

Lily of the valley waved her little hand to bid them farewell.

In the center of the field of vision, a round of sun rises from the east.The morning glow is a magnificent red gold, and the sky is getting brighter. The shopkeepers on Yawen Street unloaded their wooden boards one by one and opened their doors for business. Only the bustling bar was still sleeping.

There is a bookstore on the corner of the street, and He An has been there many times.There were illustration books, cookbooks, botanical booklets... except trade magazines with busts in suits.What belongs to the city, no one cares about in the remote town.

But today, He An was a little curious.

After nine months of peaceful life, he suddenly wanted to know how the man who expelled him in that metropolis thousands of miles away was living... now.
