Luo Hang had never really liked these kinds of banquets. His seat was in the middle, not very close to the front, but not very far back either.
The front row seats were almost all reserved for VIPs, especially the first row, which was almost entirely occupied by business tycoons attending the auction today.
Luo Hang arrived early, his legs crossed, leaning slightly against the back of his chair, his head down, staring intently at his phone.
When Zhuo Si arrived, he saw Luo Hang sitting next to him, and his eyes lit up several times.
He had always been somewhat interested in Luo Hang, and in the past six months, Luo Hang's career had skyrocketed. First, he became the spokesperson for HOP mobile phones, and then he landed roles in many big-budget movies. Now, his value as an artist has increased dramatically.
Many people in the industry believe that Luo Hang has found a sugar daddy.
It's been almost half a year now, and we still haven't heard a single word about it.
The rumors about him being kept by a sugar daddy have gradually faded away.
Many people think that Luo Hang is probably just lucky.
Its good looks caught the eye of the HOP mobile phone brand.

" Hanghangzi, long time no see!"
A familiar voice fell beside him, Luo Hang paused, looking up.
Zhuo Si, dressed in a white suit and Windsor knot, looked at him with a broad smile.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Luo Hang replied politely, then lowered his head again.
Zhuo Si's smile froze.
Luo Hang wasn't interested in him; it was all too obvious.
Fortunately, he didn't give up.
For an Omega to actively pursue an Alpha couldn't be simpler.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Zhuo Si leaned closer, and Luo Hang didn't even have time to cover his phone.
Zhuo Si immediately spotted the Anipop interface on his phone.
Zhuo Si: "..."
Luo Hang frowned, feeling offended, and locked his phone without saying a word.
The screen went black.
Zhuo Si: "..."
He chuckled sheepishly, "Why did you stop playing?"
Luo Hang said, "Because I don't want to fight anymore."
Zhuo Si: "..."
When Jiang Qingye entered the auction hall, he saw Luo Hang and an Omega huddled together in a rather intimate manner.
Pei Jin walked beside him, his smooth, long hair draped lazily over his waist. He wasn't wearing a suit, just a simple hoodie and sweatpants, looking more like he was going out for a stroll than attending a banquet.
Are you jealous?
He asked with a smile.
Jiang Qingye glanced at him. "Do you think I'm that kind of boring person?"
Pei Jin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Aren't you one?"
Jiang Qingye gave him a cold look.
Pei Jin, seeing that things were going well, shrugged and said, "Let's go."
Given their status, it goes without saying that their seats are in the first row.
The two of them walking together were already quite conspicuous.
Firstly, it was because of Pei Jin's eye-catching long hair and his outfit for his stroll.
Secondly, Jiang Qingye's expression was slightly impatient, and he exuded the air of a rich second-generation.
Zhuo Si was also inevitably attracted.
He glanced at the two Alphas walking towards the front row, pursed his lips, and said, " Hanghangzi, look!"
Luo Hang didn't think much of it and casually looked up, only to freeze in place.
He blinked slowly, then looked at the person next to Jiang Qingye.
The man exuded a sense of relaxation.
Long-haired men are already rare, and he was an Alpha with long, black hair that reached his waist, simply hanging down his back without any extra ornaments.
For such a formal auction, he wasn't wearing a suit; instead, he was only wearing a loose-fitting sweatshirt and sweatpants.
Luo Hang pursed his lips.
He knew this person; it was Pei Jin.
The big boss of the game company almost got invited by an esports team to become a professional player when he was streaming his games back then.
But Luo Hang had no idea that he knew Jiang Qingye.
Judging from the atmosphere between the two, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that their relationship was exceptionally good.
Luo Hang pursed his lips, lowered his head, reopened his phone, and continued playing the game he had just played.
For Luo Hang, this auction was no different from any of the auctions he had attended before.
After all, he didn't buy anything and never bid; he just watched drowsily the whole time.
Jiang Qingye seemed to have come to join in the fun as well. He crossed his legs, wore a suit and tie, and slightly crossed his arms, staring at the competitors on the stage.
The third to last item to appear was a gemstone, blue-gray, understated and unassuming.
Jiang Qingye seemed interested and raised the sign for the first time.
Strictly speaking, this gemstone wasn't dazzling enough, so Jiang Qingye ultimately bought it for 30 million.
Pei Jin crossed his arms and rested his chin on his hand. "Is this for your little boyfriend?"
Jiang Qingye recalled the scene he witnessed upon entering, and lowered his eyelids imperceptibly. "We haven't even started talking yet."
"Giving someone a 30 million yuan jewel before even dating them? Your love-struck mind is going a bit too far," Pei Jin teased lazily.
Jiang Qingye remained silent.
When he saw the gem, he suddenly remembered a night when Luo Hang nestled in his arms, staring blankly at the ceiling. The lights were off, and moonlight streamed in, falling into his eyes.
His eyes were like a blue-gray ocean, quiet and reserved, always carrying an unfathomable sadness.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Jin continued to tease, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"And what about you?" Jiang Qingye sneered. "I heard you're sending divorce papers to Qin Feng's company every day. How does that feel?"
Pei Jin fell silent immediately. "That's a bit harsh, bro."
Jiang Qingye raised an eyebrow. "Does that hurt? I thought you'd become heartless."
Pei Jin rested his elbow on the armrest, propping his chin up. "I'm tired of being a simp."
Jiang Qingye: "You'd better be."
-
Near the end of the auction, Luo Hang received a WeChat message from Jiang Qingye.
[The black Lamborghini was driving in the underground parking lot today.]
Luo Hang: [Oh.]
When Jiang Qingye saw his reply, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
I actually did something today; I only replied with one word.
-
As Luo Hang stood up, Zhuo Si quickly said, " Hanghangzi, my assistant has something to do and can't pick me up. Can I get a ride?"
Luo Hang said, "I was just hitching a ride with someone else."
Zhuo Si: "May I ask who it is?"
Luo Hang: "No."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhuo Si was so angry that her chest heaved up and down; she was practically about to kick the bucket.
With that attitude, you'll just grow old alone.
-
In the underground parking lot, Luo Hang, wearing a black mask, looked around for a moment before finally finding the familiar Lamborghini around the corner.
He tentatively opened the passenger door, only to find that it wasn't locked at all.
Jiang Qingye hadn't arrived yet, so Luo Hang waited for a while.
About ten minutes later, Luo Hang had successfully completed two rounds of the game.
He turned off his phone, then looked up as if sensing something, and saw a man walking towards him from a distance, carrying a small box in his hand.
Luo Hang opened the car door and stood beside the car waiting for him.
Alpha is tall, but appears quite thin for the camera. The suit perfectly accentuates his figure, highlighting his slender waist and long legs.
He was wearing a black mask, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Qingye.
Jiang Qingye had never told anyone before, but he always felt that Luo Hang was like a kitten, who would obediently watch him quietly with his beautiful eyes.
Jiang Qingye raised an eyebrow. "Why did you come out?"
Luo Hang said, "I think so."
Jiang Qingye raised an eyebrow again. "Why do I feel like you're in a bit of a mood today?"
Luo Hang remained silent.
Jiang Qingye didn't say anything; he just stood there patiently waiting.
He was full of wicked schemes, and Luo Hang was no match for him. After a moment, he pursed his lips uncomfortably and asked, "What is your relationship with Pei Jin?"
"A partnership," Jiang Qingye replied, "And maybe a little bit of friendship."
"You're lying," Luo Hang said. "I can tell you two have a very good relationship."
Jiang Qingye couldn't hold back any longer; a hint of ambiguous amusement flickered in his peach blossom eyes. "Are you... jealous?"
"No." Luo Hang said sternly, his face displeased. "If you have nothing else, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Jiang Qingye, half-smiling. "You have quite the temper. You get angry over something as trivial as jealousy."
"I'm not angry." Luo Hang turned his head when a warm hand suddenly grabbed his chin. The force wasn't too strong, and his mask was pulled down. The next second, he felt a warmth on his lips.
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since they've been intimate.
Jiang Qingye sucked on his lower lip, her tongue gently probing it.
The ambiguous sound of water echoed in the underground parking lot. Luo Hang, feeling guilty, made the sound seem even louder to his ears.
He could only be thankful that most of the cars had already left, and that they were now standing in a relatively secluded spot.
-
When Zhuo Si got out of the elevator, she checked her phone for a message from her assistant.
He muttered to himself, "It's parked so far away, how am I supposed to find it?"
After muttering to himself, he still obediently followed the parking area instructions sent by his assistant.
Just around the corner, a Lamborghini was parked not far away, and two people were standing in front of the car, their bodies intertwined in an ambiguous manner.
He stopped walking without realizing it.
When Luo Hang heard footsteps, he panicked and instinctively tried to get away.
Jiang Qingye, who had been holding his chin, suddenly covered his face with her hand, her lips parted slightly, and she coaxed softly, "It's blocking your view, I can't see you."
After saying that, his lips pressed against mine again.
Luo Hang's mind went completely blank.
-
Zhuo Si's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
He stared in astonishment at the two men. The taller one seemed indifferent, his entire face exposed to his view.
He recognized him; it was Jiang Qingye.
The person in his arms was carefully hidden by his hand.
But even though the face is covered, the clothes can't.
Damn it, this guy sat next to him all night, how could he not recognize him?
So, Luo Hang's backer is Jiang Qingye. No wonder he's been getting incredible resources lately.
Zhuo Si thought back to his own ulterior motives, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of choking food.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Qingye suddenly raised his head and looked at him coldly.
Zhuo Si was stunned.
The next second, he ran away.
Because he realized it was a warning to him.
Don't mess with his Alpha.
Rich people are really strange; instead of taking care of a sweet and gentle Omgea, they go and take care of an Alpha.
-
Luo Hang had no idea what was happening; his eyes were glistening with tears from the kisses. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Qingye said. "Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."
Luo Hang hesitated for two seconds, then obediently got into the car.
It was already 8:30 PM.
The Lamborghini drove into a high school near Imperial Capital University.
Looking at the familiar school gate, Luo Hang, sitting in the passenger seat, paused for a moment, then asked, "What are we doing here?"
"I only recently found out that we're high school classmates," Jiang Qingye said. "Don't you want to go down and see?"
Luo Hang shook his head, clearly resistant. "I don't want to."
Jiang Qingye paused, his gaze lingering on the man's face for a moment. Seeing that he indeed looked resistant, he shrugged and said, "Alright then."
The Lamborghini had barely stopped when it quickly merged into the traffic.
Jiang Qingye suddenly remembered something, "Right, why didn't I see you when we were in high school?"
Judging from Luo Hang's appearance and demeanor, he must have been a prominent figure in high school.
At that time Jiang Qingye had just returned from abroad and everything in China was new to him.
However, he did not recall ever seeing Luo Hang.
Luo Hang lowered his head, wringing his hands helplessly. "I wasn't very good-looking back then."
Jiang Qingye raised an eyebrow, stopped the car at a red light, and turned to look at Luo Hang: "Have you had plastic surgery?"
Luo Hang: "Do you think I look like it?"
"Of course not," Jiang Qingye said.
Luo Hang pursed his lips.
In fact, they had met before. The first time they met, the Alpha who had just returned from abroad had his arm around his shoulder very affectionately.
However, Luo Hang dared not admit it.
Ultimately, he was just a lover.
Those unrequited loves were all his own affair.
He was afraid that Jiang Qingye would feel burdened if she found out.
Jiang Qingye feared even more was that he discovered he had been a withdrawn and pathetic person when he was in high school.
He didn't do well in school, had no friends, and his hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, making him look like a little mouse unwanted by anyone in a dark corner.
The school is so big, it's normal not to run into them.
Luo Hang tried his best to appear calm.
Jiang Qingye didn't say anything more.
-
That evening, Luo Hang went to Jiang Qingye's villa again.
Having not seen each other for so long, Luo Hang was a little overwhelmed.
He lay face down on the pillow, closing his eyes in discomfort. He couldn't breathe through his nose and had to use his mouth to breathe completely.
His fingers were being held in someone's hand, the person's index finger hooked around his ring finger. "Don't run away."
"It doesn't hurt."
"I'll be gentler."
"You're being a bit too sensitive..."
It seems you miss me too.
One sentence after another, as if coaxing.
Finally, Luo Hang couldn't take it anymore and urged, "Can you hurry up?"
Jiang Qingye: "What's your rush?"
"I'm not in a hurry," Luo Hang said, blushing.
Jiang Qingye bit his gland. "Okay, I was the one in a hurry."
The lights were off inside; moonlight streamed in through the window, casting swaying shadows of the trees outside.
It's hard to tell whether the wind was too strong or the leaves were too fragile.
