Ziwu City in December, the coldest time of winter, heavy snow is flying on the streets, and there is a thick layer of snow on the ground, which can bury the instep of your feet when you step on it.
Dai Lan was sitting in the cafe, resting his chin on his hands and staring at the street scene outside the window in a daze.
"Drui."
Someone called his English name in his ear, Dai Lan looked sideways, he was a beautiful woman with bright red lips.
The woman was a little surprised when she saw him, and smiled, "It's really you. I thought I had the wrong person."
Dai Lan A flash of doubt flashed in his eyes. Before he could say anything, the woman spoke again, "I am Jsan, don't you remember me?"
Jsan?
Dai Lan recalled it in his mind and quickly remembered, "I'm sorry, you changed your hairstyle, I didn't recognize it for a moment."
jsan brushed the hair beside his ear and calmly sat down opposite him, "But you can still recognize me now, I'm very happy. I didn't expect to meet you in China..."
Dai Lan explained, "A very good friend is getting married, and I'm here to attend."
Jsan was not very interested in the marriage he mentioned, and her red lips were frivolous. "How is it? How are you doing after separation?"
Dai Lan touched his nose a little embarrassed.
The woman in front of him is none other than his ex-girlfriend.
In other words, one of the many ex-girlfriends from before.
Wu Jiangyuan once said that it is true. Dai Lan was the king of the sea when he was abroad and had many Omegas.
He enjoys the psychological process of interacting with people, and likes to create all kinds of surprises for the people he interacts with. Seeing them happy makes him happy too.
However, I have dated so many girlfriends and boyfriends that I can count them all on one hand, and only a few have had physical communication.
If nothing else, he is very picky about physical contact. (My mother has something to say: This does not mean that Little Golden Retriever has not slept with other little o's, it just means that I can count the number of times on one hand. Don't get me wrong, Little Golden Retriever is a foreigner with a relatively open mind, and my setting was originally Neptune. The real Neptune is afraid that you won't be able to accept it, so I have given in!! Wives who mind this can withdraw hhhh...•˶ɞ˶•)
And the person in front of him happens to be his predecessor.
I didn't expect to meet my ex-girlfriend here. Dai Lan was very embarrassed, but still kept calm on his face. "It's good, how about you?"
jsan saw his nervousness and joked, "Don't be nervous, dear, I just came to say hello to you. Although we had talked before, we broke up peacefully in the end, right?"
Dai Lan said, "I just feel very sorry for you."
He was the first to propose that they break up. jsan was a perfect match. Dai Lan really liked her at first, but over time, he always felt that something was missing and lost the initial heartbeat.
It's strange that every time I talk to someone I feel good about at first, but this feeling never lasts long.
Dai Lan never delays the other person, so he will take the initiative to break up.
The compensation after the breakup has also not fallen behind.
He searched for feelings frequently, which is why he got the title of Neptune.
jsan waved his hand. "Are you sorry? Emotional matters are meant to be between you and me. I understand you."
"Besides," she said, deliberately showing off the diamond ring on her finger, "I also have a boyfriend now."
Dai Lan breathed a sigh of relief silently and said with a smile, "Then I really have to wish you well."
Talking to jsan was still very comfortable, and Dai Lan couldn't help but chat with her for a while. The two exchanged contact information again, this time as friends.
Until jsan answered the phone and said with a smile, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up. I won't accompany you for now. We will get together when we have time."
Dai Lan nodded. "Goodbye."
Watching her leave the coffee shop, Dai Lan looked away, but suddenly felt a line of sight outside the window falling on him.
He turned around and met the man in a black Maybach.
Dai Lan was stunned and blinked.
No, he seems to have seen the wrong person. Why did he see Wu Chengnan?
I thought I was hallucinating for a while, until the other person looked away and lowered his head to send some message.
Dai Lan suddenly realized, oh - he read it right, it was really Wu Chengnan.
Immediately afterwards, his cell phone rang, and he lowered his head to see a message from Wu Chengnan: [Do you have an appointment?]
Dai Lan hesitated with his fingertips for a long time before slowly pressing: [Waiting for someone.]
There was no reply from the other party. After waiting for a while, I received a word: [Okay.]
Dai Lan raised his head and looked out the window, only to find that Wu Chengnan drove away at some point.
He was in a daze and felt inexplicably guilty.
It's strange, what's wrong with him? He just came out to meet his friends.
"Little Golden Retriever~"
He Qu's voice came from above, "There's a traffic jam on the road. Do you mind if you're a little late?"
Dai Lan looked up at him and immediately threw away the guilty feeling just now, "Actually, I just arrived."
He Qu looked at the time. "Let's go, the concert is about to start."
On the way, he was still amazed. "I tell you, you will definitely like the singer in this concert. Haven't you never seen a concert in China? This time I will give you a lot of experience."
Dai Lan was very interested, "But don't we really call Jiangtang'er?"
"Yeah, it's a pity that I have to live in a world of two." He Qu said angrily.
Dai Lan: "By the way, after he got married, did he spend less and less time with us?"
He Qu: "You know the newly married couple."
Dai Lan chuckled, "I had to come all the way here, and he just left me here."
He Qu asked, "Then when do you plan to go back?"
Dai Lan thought for a while, "Not sure, my daddy and father have already gone back. I want to play for a few more days, and they have no objection."
He Qu patted his head. "Okay Little Golden Retriever, we have many fun places here. Wu Jiangyuan must have never taken you there before. I will take you to have fun these days."
Dai Lan looked at him resentfully. "Why do you even call me Little Golden Retriever?"
"Because it's cute~"
"Bah, that describes Omega. I am Alpha."
"Okay, okay, then Little Golden Retriever means handsome."
"That's pretty much it..."
That's not right. Why does it still feel like something is wrong?
He Qu urged, "Hurry up, the concert will start soon."
That night, after the concert, Dai Lan returned to the apartment.
This is where Wu Jiangyuan previously lived. Later, after getting married, he moved to Pei Jinghe's home. This place became vacant and was occupied by Dai Lan.
When you open the door, it's pitch black inside. Dai Lan skillfully finds the switch and turns on the light--
But he was startled by the figure sitting on the sofa.
"*!!"
His first reaction was that a thief had entered, but soon he saw the face of the intruder.
"... Why are you here?"
Dai Lan He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating fast.
The person who came was none other than Wu Chengnan. He was still wearing the suit he met this afternoon. He had been sitting here for who knows how long.
Wu Chengnan raised his half-draped eyelids, "Did it scare you?"
Dai Lan still has lingering fears. He said honestly, "I'm scared."
Wu Chengnan looked at him seriously for a moment and apologized. "I'm sorry."
Then he opened his hand towards Dai Lan without saying a word.
Dai Lan's eyes flashed slightly, she walked up to him and held that generous and warm hand.
Wu Chengnan followed the gentle pull and brought the person next to him to sit down.
It's snowing heavily outside. Little Golden Retriever just came back from outside. His hands are very cold and the tip of his nose is red. His skin is already white, and the slight rosy color is particularly obvious.
"Did you have fun today?"
Wu Chengnan gently rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb, warmed it with his palm, and asked.
Dai Lan answered all questions, "It was fun, I went to the concert."
Wu Chengnan asked again, "Who are you going with?"
Dai Lan:"He Qu."
Wu Chengnan tapped his fingertips on his thigh, "What about the woman you were chatting with this afternoon?"
Dai Lan paused and realized, Wu Chengnan saw him and jsan!
He opened his lips slightly, but held back his words. He suddenly didn't know how to reply.
You can't tell Wu Chengnan that the one in the afternoon is his ex-girlfriend, right?
He glanced at Wu Chengnan's unpredictable expression, shuddered, and his intuition told him not to say it.
He didn't speak, and Wu Chengnan was patient, so he kept waiting for his reply.
After thinking about it, Dai Lan said, "She is my friend abroad. I met her by chance, so we chatted for a while."
Wu Chengnan responded slowly.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, which was a little awkward.
Dai Lan The hands that were cold just now are almost sweating from nervousness.
Probably because his ex-girlfriend Buff is causing trouble, he feels particularly guilty now.
Wu Chengnan also noticed this, raised his hand and touched his cheek again, making sure that his whole body was warm before letting go, and said, "Drui, you seem to be very nervous."
Dai Lan blinked, "No, I'm not nervous at all. I was scared by you just now, and I haven't recovered yet."
In the past, if Wu Chengnan wanted to come over, he would tell him in advance. He would not show up at home silently like now, scaring people half to death.
"Really?" Wu Chengnan seemed to smile, "I thought you felt uncomfortable because you were with me."
Dai Lan's face suddenly turned red. "... No."
"Drui."
Wu Chengnan did not continue to ask, stroked his cheek, and said gently, "If you have any ideas, just tell me."
"If you want to end it, I'll respect that."
"No." Dai Lan grabbed his hand and whispered, "I didn't want it to end..."
Probably no one would have thought that he was talking to Wu Chengnan.
Um... We are just talking.
Even he himself found it unrealistic.
All of this must start from the night of Cephalos--
"I understand."
"If that's the case, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now."
There is no need to bear any burden, I respect your thoughts."
"Go back."
After Wu Chengnan said these words, Dai Lan felt tight and subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Wait... wait..."
"I don't dislike your age, I just... just..."
He just sat there for a long time and couldn't even say that sentence.
In an awkward and ashamed mood, he hesitated for a long time before speaking out.
"I'm just not ready."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow in. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the other person's expression.
There was silence on the other side. After a moment, he was touched by a hand on his cheek and raised his face, looking into the amber eyes of Wu Chengnan.
"Drui."
Just listen to him speak calmly and seriously, "I really like you, and I can accept all the differences between us unconditionally."
"And it's normal that you're not ready. I'm willing to wait for you until the day you are ready."
"If you change your mind midway, or find someone you like, just tell me and I will know what to do next without causing you any trouble."
Dai Lan After hearing these words, his whole body stayed in place.
He didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. He only knew that his heartbeat was accelerating and he couldn't control it at all.
Wu Chengnan You could see his red face by closing your eyes. With a thought, you lowered your head and kissed the hand that was caressing his cheek.
Across the palm of his hand, it seemed as if this kiss fell on Dai Lan's face.
"Go back."
He chuckled lightly, let go and stepped back.
Dai Lan was still in a daze, and Runsi next to his legs pushed his head against him, forcing him to regain his consciousness. "Woof woof woof!"
"... Okay! Go back... go back."
Dai Lan stuttered and spoke, holding runsi in hand, not daring to look at Wu Chengnan's face anymore, and quickly fled.
Looking at the back of Little Golden Retriever escaping in a hurry, the smile on Wu Chengnan's lips became deeper and deeper, and he followed him slowly.
After returning, Dai Lan locked himself directly in the room and fell into the quilt.
My face was so red, my heart was beating fast, and all I could think about was what Wu Chengnan just said.
It's obviously just a confession, and it's not like he hasn't been confessed to before. Why does it feel completely different from before when it comes out of Wu Chengnan's mouth?
He thought that this strange feeling would calm down soon, but all night long, his mind was filled with this matter, and his heartbeat never stabilized.
Not only that, he always couldn't help but think of the scene of Wu Chengnan lowering his head and kissing his cheek.
Closing your eyes, the light woody fragrance seems to linger in your nose. As long as you think about it for a moment, your brain will shut down.
"..."
Dai Lan It's hard to describe in one word.
If the other party was an Omega, he wouldn't be so hard to accept. He could comfort himself because of the attraction between Pheromones.
But Wu Chengnan is a Beta, and he cannot emit any Pheromones.
The feeling that Omega couldn't give him, he felt from Wu Chengnan, a Beta.
Dai Lan got up and got out of bed, walked to the balcony and lay on the railing to smoke.
Due to his habit of sleeping naked, he now wears underwear all over his body.
"..."
Dai Lan put out the cigarette butts in disgust and went to Bathroom resigned to his fate.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered what happened tonight, how could he dare to continue sleeping.
He couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, out of escapism, he lied about being sick and stayed in his room all day.
Until at night, there was a knock on the door.
Dai Lan thought it was his father and said angrily, "You don't have to call me to eat. I have no appetite now."
There was silence for a while outside the room, and then the voice of Wu Chengnan came.
"Even if you have no appetite, you still have to eat some."
Dai Lan The originally closed eyes suddenly opened--
