It is no exaggeration to say that the whole process was like a thorn in my side. I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at my back, lingering at my lumbar spine, like an iron feather, constantly scratching my skin, giving me goose bumps and a stinging pain that was hard to ignore. But I didn't dare to look back, and I didn't dare to look at the owner of those eyes.After finally putting on my shirt, I got stuck when it came to tying my tie.I don't have many opportunities to attend formal occasions. I can tie a bow tie casually, but a necktie is too difficult for me.I was struggling there for a long time, until the gaze behind me became more and more piercing, and I became more and more panicked. Finally, the other party couldn't stand it anymore, and he said loudly, as if he didn't understand why there was such a stupid person like me in the world."Come here."The harsh tone gave me a chill, and I turned around quickly, not daring to hesitate and walked towards him. But the room was too dark, and I accidentally tripped over the seam of the carpet, stumbling awkwardly, and almost fell into Logan Summers's arms.Without any context, it was like an intimate hug.We were so close that I could even smell the perfume he had applied on his neck. It was like the cold pine scent in the forest after the snow, which really matched his complexion.This is not the smell of his pheromone. Unlike his wild and beastly words and deeds, Song Boluo's pheromone is very...unexpected, a sweet osmanthus scent.Betas cannot smell alpha and omega pheromones unless they are strong enough. And usually only during estrus will they emit such strong pheromones, which represents their crazy desire to mark each other.I know such private things about Song Bailao because I have seen him in a passive state of estrus. Although it was an accident, the fragrance that filled the entire small equipment room at that time was enough to be engraved in my heart and remembered for the rest of my life.
【If you do something wrong, you must have the courage to bear the consequences, so I have prepared myself for a lifetime of misfortune. 】In the panic-stricken silence, Song Bailao's lazy voice sounded again."Your seduction skills are really poor, aren't they?"My whole body stiffened and I raised my head from his arms, just in time to meet his drooping eyes.His pupils were as black as ink, and his facial features appeared even deeper and less warm in the dim light."Are you so eager to sacrifice yourself?" His thin lips curled up slightly as he spoke, but it was by no means a friendly curve.He thought I fell on purpose so that I could throw myself into his arms... He had a bad temper but a good imagination."No..." I quickly struggled to break free from his arms, stepped back a little, and stood an arm's length away from him.I stared at a vague pattern on the carpet and feebly defended myself: "I really just fell down."He snorted with disdain, as if laughing at my stubbornness. In the corner of my eye, he flicked his shirt, as if trying to wipe away the ugly wrinkles I left on his clothes.For the next ten or so seconds, none of us spoke. The time seemed so long because of the blankness, making us feel uneasy.I heard Song Bailao suppressing his impatience and sighing heavily from his nose: "So, do you know how to tie a tie?"I nervously twitched my fingers and swallowed nervously: "This one is also...
I really can't do it."He didn't say anything else. He walked up to me, pulled the tie from my hand, not so gently lifted my shirt collar, and actually started to tie the tie for me.I stiffened my neck and let him toss me around, not daring to move. My eyes inevitably met his face, and I had to admit that even among the generally outstanding-looking alphas, Song Boluo's face could still be called stunning.Different from Ryder Stone's exquisiteness and Lucas Hayes's fairy-like appearance, Song Boluo's appearance is more masculine and aggressive. If Ryder Stone and Lucas Hayes are precious collections displayed in museums, then Song Boluo is the magnificent scenery of nature.In less than a minute, he skillfully tied the tie that I had failed to tie no matter how hard I tried."That's enough." He adjusted the tie so that it fit more snugly against my chest.
I was finally able to breathe normally without having to hold my breath.I saw his eyelids slightly raised, and quickly turned away, walked back to the bed and quickly put on the white suit jacket. When I turned around, I saw Song Bailao still standing there, looking forward. I then noticed that there was a dressing mirror behind me just now, and he was silently staring at his reflection in the mirror."Come here." He seemed to notice my gaze through the mirror and ordered without turning his head.I walked over obediently, and he made way for me, motioning me to stand beside him. I did so, and the mirror immediately showed us standing side by side.We wore the same style of suit, he wore black and I wore white. He was tall and handsome, dazzling; I was pale and haggard, timid."Do I match?" he asked, looking at me in the mirror.Not at all fitting, and even a little funny.
If he wanted to make me feel inferior, he didn't have to do it this way. I always knew what this marriage meant to him and what role I would play in it.I looked away: "The clothes are a bit big."The dress I'm wearing should have been tailor-made according to Lucas Hayes's size. When I put it on, I look like a child wearing adult clothes, which is funny and ridiculous.My reaction might have seemed a little boring to him. Logan Summers looked at me in the mirror for a while, turned around, took off his coat, and stopped stabbing me."I'll ask the tailor to size it down." He threw his coat casually on the armrest and leaned back into the sofa leisurely.I stood there for a while, at a loss as to what to do. Then I decided that this must be the end, so I walked towards the bed and took off my coat."Do you know why I want to marry into the Zhu family?"I paused in taking off my clothes and looked at Song Boluo blankly.He crossed his legs and propped his chin on the back of his hand. "In the energy industry, Xiasheng and Ruan are known as the two giants. In recent years, the Zhu family has begun to get involved in the energy industry. If Zhu Yunsheng wants to squeeze in, he must choose one of them to rely on. And I also need to win over new forces to fight against the Ruan family and break the deadlock, so it doesn't matter to me whether it is the Zhu family or the Yang family." He said lightly, and the canine teeth under his thin lips were looming.
"Although both of you brothers are not very good, this business marriage has nothing to do with will. I hope that after marriage, you can abide by your duties, do what you should do, and don't cause trouble for me. In this way, we may still be able to coexist peacefully."His words were really blunt and impolite, but I seemed to have no choice but to nod and agree."I understand." I changed back into my clothes with my back to him. I was hesitating whether to fold the dress neatly. Song Boluo behind me saw my intention and stopped me coldly."Leave your clothes there, you can go."I felt as if I had been pardoned. I stood up and walked out, almost impatient to leave the room where Song Boluo was.Secretary Li walked me downstairs, and I didn't dare look back until I walked out of the Xiasheng Building. The 28th floor was so high that I shouldn't be able to feel anything whether I was looking up or down, but I strangely felt that there was always a lingering gaze from the building.I was just trying on a set of clothes, but I was exhausted physically and mentally. When I got home, the bowl of white jade noodles had already swelled into a lump.
Although it must be unpalatable, I was hungry and tired and couldn't bring myself to cook again, so I could only eat the bowl of cold noodles.After finishing the noodles, I put down my chopsticks, put my palms together and clenched into a fist towards the bowl of leftover soup in front of me."Wish me a happy birthday."I don’t really have a big feeling about the day I was born. In previous years, when Master was still around, he would celebrate my birthday for me. After he passed away, I hardly even remember it. This year, I thought of eating a bowl of noodles, but actually I just wanted to make a birthday wish.I rested my forehead on my thumb, closed my eyes and whispered, "I hope my child will be healthy and safe."Over the past twenty years, I have made very few wishes, and even fewer have come true. He was born seven years ago, and I have done nothing for him. I can only comfort myself in this way. I always blame Mason Collins, but in the end, I am not a competent father myself.After I cleaned up the dishes and took a shower, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. I sat down at the desk, opened my diary with my key, and wrote down what happened today.I have developed the habit of keeping a diary since seven years ago. I put down in my diary all the thoughts that I cannot express during the day, and it can also serve as my daily catharsis.[I met him again, and he told me to stick to my duty...]When Song Boluo asked me to try on clothes in the evening, I paused for a moment until a noticeable ink spot appeared on the paper, and then I picked up the pen again to continue writing.【**. 】
After writing my diary, I turned off the light and went to sleep. I don’t know if it’s because I met Song Bo Lao today, but he’s always in my dreams.Lucas Hayes knocked on my door, smiled and invited me to a party, saying that I would definitely like it.At that time, he was very good at pretending, gentle, beautiful, and excellent. He even allowed me, the son of his mistress, to call him "brother". You can imagine how flattered I was when I was young. I trusted him unconditionally and felt that he was the opposite of those arrogant and indifferent classmates in school. He was a white lotus that was untainted by mud.I didn't expect that the white lotus was a real white lotus, or a black-hearted lotus with profound Taoism.He often asked about my situation at school at the dinner table and inquired about the details of my interactions with classmates. At that time, I thought he cared about me, so I always hid the truth and told him that I was fine and everyone was very friendly.In fact, he was just laughing at me and enjoying my poor performance which was only making things more obvious.Not long after, Lucas Hayes took me to a carnival party. On the top floor of a building, there was an infinity pool overlooking the panoramic view of Xiangtan. I had no idea what the theme was or who was organizing it.
From the moment I entered the door, I saw a dazzling array of alphas and omegas of all colors. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing iconic bite stoppers and anti-bite collars, and playing wantonly within a safe range. There were betas at the scene, but only a few, and I soon discovered that they were the waiters pouring wine for them.Many people came to greet Lucas Hayes, who was a dazzling presence in the upper class. Lucas Hayes introduced me to them one by one, calling me "brother". Whenever this happened, the A or O on the other side would show subtle surprise.These people hid it very well, but I could still keenly capture the slightest bit of emotion that could be called "disgust" that they couldn't help but reveal behind their perfect upbringing.Probably the only difference between them and my classmates is that one side at least maintains a pitiful surface, while the other side is too lazy to even maintain the surface.Lucas Hayes was surrounded by his friends, they talked about everything from financial situation to international dynamics, they didn't seem like a group of underage high school students. It was at this moment that I realized that the power, wealth and even the future of this world are only in the hands of a few people, those who participated in this party are the best among them, and beta will never be able to squeeze into them.I felt like I couldn't fit in, so I walked away dejectedly, just wanting to find a quiet place to stay until the party was over.This may be the reason why Lucas Hayes took me there, to make me face the reality and know the gap between me and them.
Amid the loud music, I was suddenly attacked from behind with strong force and was pushed against the wall.I turned around in shock and saw a strange alpha. He was wearing bright amber contact lenses and his bite guard seemed to be made of brass. It had jagged teeth and was very scary."You smell really clean." He sniffed me and gave me a drunken smile. "Want to play with me?"The betas carrying trays at the party were wearing revealing clothes and seductive makeup, flirting and playing with the Aos. They looked more like "service workers" than waiters. I even suspected that these betas were their "fun". And without Lucas Hayes by my side, I was obviously also an object of fun for them."I don't want to play..." I pushed him away and turned into a corridor with my head covered.The alpha behind me was chasing me slowly, as if he thought I was playing hard to get with him again."Don't go, go slowly...
" The other person leaned against the wall crookedly, "Little beta, let me mark you..." He laughed at himself and laughed for no apparent reason. I don't know if he took any drugs.I kept looking back, and turned a corner, only to find in despair that it was a dead end. Fortunately, there were several closed doors on both sides of the corridor, and I tried desperately, so I chose one of them and turned the handle, and it opened unexpectedly.I hurriedly slipped into the room, quietly closed the door, rested my forehead against the door and let out a long breath. But before I could completely put my heart back in place, the unusual noise behind me instantly made me nervous again.When I entered the room, I only took a quick glance and saw the moonlight and lights shining into the house through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting lattice-shaped reflections on the ground, but I didn't see anyone else.I turned around suddenly and saw a naked alpha sitting up slowly, holding his forehead, in a dark corner not illuminated by the afterglow of the lights. After a while, a naked female beta sat up beside him.Seeing the black grid-shaped bite stopper on the lower half of the alpha's face, I had a vague premonition. Sure enough, when the other party moved his hand away, I found that I knew him, or I had seen him before, it was Song Bailao.He also saw me, and I don't know if he was hungover or was unhappy to be disturbed, his brows were tightly knitted:
"Who let you in?"I was also very embarrassed about this situation, but if I went out again I was afraid of meeting that strange alpha again.I hurriedly explained to him, "I am... have you forgotten that we have met? That day at the back door of the laboratory building, you climbed over the wall to come in." I tried to evoke his memory, "I am Lucas Hayes's younger brother, and there is an alpha outside who has been pestering me. Please, let me hide for a while."He raised his eyebrows: "Lucas Hayes's...brother?" He looked at the beta next to him and raised his chin towards her, "You, get out."The woman smoothed her curly hair and pouted somewhat dissatisfiedly, but still obediently got out of bed, put on her clothes, and left without daring to complain.When she passed by me, she rolled her eyes at me, as if blaming me for disturbing her good time.
Logan Summers and I were the only ones left in the room. I leaned against the door nervously, not knowing what to say for a moment.In the end, it was Song Bailao who spoke first: "Lucas Hayes actually has a beta brother?"He looked disdainful, as if he found it incredible.I pursed my dry lips: "We...are not related by blood."He suddenly realized: "No wonder, you are not alike at all."There seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words, and I didn't like his tone: "How can I compare with my brother..."The door behind me suddenly made a loud bang. I stared at the door in horror and backed away from it. My heart was beating so violently that it almost jumped out of my chest.My back suddenly hit a solid and hot wall of people. I turned around in surprise. Song Boluo was standing behind me, putting his hands on my shoulders and pushing me aside."Step aside."I was still in a daze when he walked over and opened the door."Get out of here if you don't want to die."
He made a vicious threat to the people outside the door."Song, Logan Summers?" The man seemed frightened. I could even hear in his voice the image of a puppy with its tail between its legs, whimpering pitifully from its throat.Song Boluo was already very famous at that time, both for his family background and his ability to fight.His excellence is obvious to all, and his rebelliousness is known to everyone. Even among the same kind, no alpha would easily provoke him.It soon became quiet outside the door, and Song Boluo closed the door again. It was only then that I realized that he was completely naked.He stood in front of me carelessly, like a vivid marble statue. The texture of his muscles and even the light and shadow cast by the outdoor light on his body all revealed an unreal beauty.Although the lower body is hidden in the shadows, it is still quite impressive even when viewed vaguely.I looked away awkwardly: "Um...thank you, thank you.""This is not the place for a beta like you."I was stunned. What he said was true, but he was too direct and it made me look bad.
