Zhou Rin got in the car and went to the place where Zhou Cun held the speech contest. He looked at the scenery outside the window with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and his heart was beating very fast. Calm down.
What is this
His initial reaction was that someone played a prank on him, using a method he didn't understand, replacing the note and synthetic fake photos into the photo frame, and working with his secretary to make such a joke with him.
But no one would dare to make such a joke with him, especially when it comes to his brother, everyone knows that Zhou Cun and Ji Ning are taboos that cannot be mentioned in front of the Zhou family, and no one is willing to pay a high price to do it. such a meaningless thing.
If all this is true, his older brother is still alive and is his younger brother...
Zhou Rin's expression was still calm, but there was a little perspiration in his palms. He took out his mobile phone and browsed the information inside. His mobile phone was specially encrypted, so it was almost impossible for information to be stolen. Just look at your phone to know what's going on.
He looked down at the screen, the time in the phone did not change, and the time did not turn back, as if he had just come to another parallel world in an instant.
Zhou Rin clicked on the photo album on his mobile phone, and a photo frame of his family was specially built in it, and many photos were stored. The time span was very long, from his boyhood to the present.
Just like the family photo in the office, his elder brother Zhou Cun often appears in the photos, always looking a few years younger than him, and he himself has changed from an arrogant teenager to a calm appearance in a suit.
In the chat records with family members, the contact no longer has "brother", but is replaced by "brother".
Zhou Rin turned the records page by page. He almost always cared about his younger brother Zhou Cun's studies in his elder brother's tone, but even if they switched ages, their personal experiences remained basically the same. Zhou Cun was still a high school student when he was a teenager, and his grades were forever. He is the first in the school, won various awards softly, and is also the chairman of the school's student union.
It's just that when my brother was a high school student, he was still just a naughty child. He didn't study well and liked to be naughty. His father always taught him about his brother, but he was very unconvinced, but his brother treated him well in private, even if Indignantly, his relationship with his brother is still very good.
Looking at the information exchange between the two on the phone, Zhou Rin's fingers were trembling slightly, as if the excitement and joy in the dream were surging in his chest, making him a little lost, his eyes were red, and he was holding the sour and hot. The eyes were silent for a few seconds.
What about Ji Ning? What happened to Ji Ning
Thinking of Omega, who had also passed away for a long time, Zhou Rin slowly calmed down his trembling breathing, clutched his phone tightly, and wanted to open the address book, but his movements were stagnant, because he did not dare to open it, and he was too afraid of disappointment after his hopes were lost.
But he desperately wanted to know if Ji Ning was still alive, and if they knew each other. If there was a chance to come back, would it mean that he had a chance this time
There was a burst of pain and stuffiness in his chest, tortured by the huge hesitation and anxiety, Zhou Rin still clicked on the address book, but because his hands were shaking too much, he clicked several times before he clicked on the search bar on the screen. Enter Ji Ning's name.
The display result is None.
There was no one named "Jining" in his contacts.
Zhou Rin looked down at the blank search bar, lost in her heart, but her tense body slowly relaxed.
Even when their relationship with Ji Ning was the worst in the last life, they exchanged contact information politely, because everyone in the Zhou family had exchanged contact information with Ji Ning, and now there is no contact information, which means that Ji Ning and the Zhou family are not yet. I know, or maybe there is no such person as Ji Ning at all.
In this world that seemed like a dream, Zhou Rin couldn't be sure what the possibility was, but as long as Ji Ning was still there, no matter what means he used, he would definitely find Ji Ning.
But at the same time, there was another possibility. His older brother—the "younger brother" in this world today might have known Ji Ning, but he just hadn't introduced him to his family.
Zhou Rin wanted to send a message to Zhou Cun and ask him if he knew Ji Ning, but such a question was too abrupt, so he couldn't just ask it directly.
The venue for the speech contest is in the auditorium of University A, the best university in the city and one of the top schools in the country.
The car slowly drove into the campus and stopped near the auditorium. Zhou Rin's throat rolled slightly and sent a message to Zhou Cun, asking him where he was now. He quickly got a reply from Zhou Cun, and the two met at the entrance of the auditorium. face.
"elder brother."
Zhou Cun, who looked like a teenager, stood outside the auditorium, smiled slightly at Zhou Rin, and greeted him.
Compared with Zhou Rin's most vivid memory, the boy's brows and eyes were a lot greener, but he was still handsome, with a calm and calm expression, wearing a neat school uniform, with a clean temperament, standing with the mature and handsome Alpha, the two brothers. The outstanding appearance quickly attracted the attention of many people.
The elder brother who had passed away for many years suddenly turned into a young man, standing in front of him alive. Even though he had communicated with the young man through a message just now, Zhou Rin's eyes were still hot, and then he lowered his head slightly to hide his gaffe.
After a while, he looked back at the boy again, and patted the boy's shoulder, seemingly calm, but his fingertips were still trembling slightly.
"Have a good game." He instructed in the tone of his brother, "Relax your mind and don't be nervous."
"Yeah." The boy smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go to the backstage to prepare, it's about to start, my parents and sister have already entered the auditorium, and the seats have been given to you, you can go to them. "
Zhou Rin nodded slightly and walked into the auditorium after saying goodbye to the boy. This city-wide speech contest was of a high standard. There were many people in the auditorium, and the seats were almost full. Fortunately, the location of their house was easy to find. After that, he found a seat and sat next to his sister.
In his memory, his brother in high school also participated in this game. At that time, he was still young, and all his impressions were blurred. He only remembered that the dome of the auditorium was very high, and the applause after his brother's speech was very warm. There was no suspense. He won the gold award, and when he came back, he held a bouquet of fragrant flowers in his arms, and there was nothing extra.
After a while, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the game officially started. Zhou Lin sat in the seat and glanced around inadvertently.
His sister is sitting on the left, and the right is empty, which is more outside. This is the seat reserved for Zhou Cun. His order is higher. He wants to sit under the stage and watch the game after his speech. I love being in the background and waiting.
Because he did not want his family background to affect the results of the competition, Zhou Cun kept a low profile and did not reveal his identity at all during the registration. However, as the contestant most likely to win the gold medal, even regardless of the background, such a requirement can still be obtained. satisfaction of the organizer.
There are no strangers around, which is the best for Zhou Rin, he is very sensitive to pheromones, especially the smell of Omega will make him feel uncomfortable, so he does not like to be too close to people outside his family.
In the blink of an eye, the first contestant's speech was halfway through, and Zhou Rin was absent-minded because he was still thinking about the series of things he had just experienced.
He fell into deep thought, not noticing that someone walking over to the vacant seat beside him lightly, until the person sat on the vacant seat, he regained his senses, and subconsciously said softly: "Sorry, this is—"
Suddenly a light sweetness filled his breath, he was startled suddenly, and suddenly looked up at the person sitting beside him.
"Is there already someone here?"
The voice of the person who came was also very soft, and he was about to stand up quietly: "I'm sorry to bother you. I thought this was an empty seat, so I'll leave now."
"Need not."
Zhou Rin suddenly held down the hand of the person who came, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in his tone, and did not let him leave: "There is no one here, you can sit, it doesn't matter."
"… "
The sister who was sitting beside him glanced at him when she heard the words, her eyes showed a bit of inquiry, but she didn't say anything unexpectedly, and turned her head to watch the speech again.
"OK, thanks."
The visitor sat down gently again, showing a beautiful face in the dim light, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and smiled at Zhou Rin.
The fragrance belonging to Epiphyllum faintly lingered, full of gentle temptation, making Zhou Rin almost cry.
It's Ji Ning.
It's him.
He really showed up.
Zhou Rin's eyes were slightly red, and she stared at the Omega in front of her, her fingers not leaving the other's wrist, but tightened and tightened, leaving finger marks on the snow-white skin.
Ji Ning's eyes widened, looking a little scared, she tried to pull out her wrist and asked in a low voice, "Sir?"
"… sorry."
Noticing his unease, Zhou Rin woke up like a dream, quickly let go of his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered something just now. Did I hurt you?"
"it does not matter."
Seeing that his attitude is sincere, it should be just a momentary gaffe, not the unfamiliar Alpha's thoughts, Omega once again showed a gentle smile, shook his head gently, and said, "Let's watch the game."
Zhou Rin nodded and refocused his eyes on the stage, but he was completely lost. He couldn't hear every word the player said, and all his attention was focused on the Omega beside him.
He really saw Ji Ning again...
Not only did my brother come back, but Ji Ning also reappeared together.
Zhou Rin's five fingers gripping the armrest tightened quietly, almost exhausting all his strength, barely holding back his excitement, not letting himself show any strange expression.
He wanted to keep looking at Ji Ning, but he had already lost his temper just now. If he continued to watch it, he would definitely leave a bad impression on Ji Ning, just like the first time they met before, Ji Ning would mistakenly think that he had a bad heart. .
But this time, the time and way of their encounter has become completely different.
Zhou Rin didn't know why Ji Ning appeared here. As far as he knew, Ji Ning met his brother when he was in college, but not at this school, but at a university in another place.
At that time, my brother was on a business trip in another city, and he met Ji Ning because of some things. As soon as the two met, they had a good impression of each other, and they left their respective contact information. In the future, they would keep in touch with each other, and then they gradually developed feelings for each other.
But now everything has changed, his brother has no reason to go to that out-of-town university, never met Ji Ning, and this time the person who met Ji Ning first became him.
Does this mean that he can change his former destiny
His brother wouldn't die, and Ji Ning wouldn't fall in love with his brother, but... in love with him.
A wave of applause rang out, and Zhou Rin followed suit unconsciously. The next player to appear was Zhou Cun. Only then did he restrain his various delusions and finally focus his attention on the stage.
The young man standing on the stage was calm and confident, calm and generous, and the content of the speech was exciting and vivid, and his temperament and outstanding appearance were easy to make people feel good about. When he finished the speech and bowed down, the applause in the auditorium continued for a long time. , it took a long time to calm down.
Zhou Cun found his family's seat, but found that his seat was already occupied by an unfamiliar Omega, he couldn't help but startled slightly and said, "Sorry, this is my seat."
"Ah? Really, I'm so sorry..."
Ji Ning was about to stand up when he heard the words, and Zhou Rin also got up with him, but the sister next to him suddenly said, "No need, Xiao Cun, come and sit with me, I have to go back to the company, and there is a meeting."
Saying that, she got up, left her seat, and let the boy sit in her place.
"… okay."
The boy listened to his elder sister's words obediently, and sat down obediently. His elder sister curled her lips into a smile, blinked at Zhou Rin, silently made a "come on" mouth, and turned around and left the auditorium.
At this time, it was halftime. The audience moved around, and the auditorium became lively. Ji Ning looked at Zhou Rin and thanked him sincerely again, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know this was Zhou Cun's seat. "
"My brother didn't say that he had to sit here before. I thought you might not be able to find a seat, so I gave you his seat. You don't need to care."
Zhou Rin explained lightly and made the young man turn his head to look at him, showing the same look as his sister, looking thoughtful.
"It's my fault for being late." Ji Ning shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the competition to be so popular."
"Why do you want to come to see the game? There are players who support?" Zhou Rin asked casually, naturally chatting with Ji Ning.
"One of the contestants today is my student." Ji Ning said with a smile, "I have a good relationship with his family. His parents have to go to work and can't come to the scene, so he asked me to videotape him."
"Are you a teacher?" Zhou Rin looked surprised, "But you look very young."
Ji Ning explained, "I'm not an official teacher, I'm just a tutor for my students. I'm still studying, in the mathematics department of this school."
Is Ji Ning a student of University A? Zhou Rin's heart moved slightly, not only the way of meeting had changed, but even the school he attended was completely different from before.
Since Ji Ning is a tutor...
"If you can get into this university, your grades must be very good."
He considered it for a few seconds and said, "I have an unkind request. My brother is not very good at math. He is looking for a tutor to teach him. I think you are a good fit. Do you have any spare time?"
"I do have time... It's just that Zhou Cun's math is not good? But he looks very smart..." Ji Ning said in surprise.
"... I'm really bad at math, and I'm good at liberal arts. As my brother said, my family is planning to hire a tutor for me."
The boy looked at them, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
"Okay, we can talk about this in detail later... Add a contact information?" Ji Ning asked.
"Okay." Zhou Rin took out his mobile phone, "My name is Zhou Rin, 'Rin' of 'Aweful'."
"Hello, I'm Ji Ning."
The two exchanged contact information. After halftime, the second half of the game continued, and they watched the game seriously. When it was Ji Ning's student's turn to appear, he recorded a video for the students. After the game, the two sides played politely. After saying hello, they each left.
"I'm not good at math..."
After getting into the car, the teenager picked up the schoolbag, stuffed the gold award certificate and medal into the bag, glanced at Zhou Rin meaningfully, took out the folder, took out a test paper inside and handed it over.
"I don't seem to have shown you my midterm papers."
Zhou Rin looked down at the teenager's math test paper, marked with a bright red perfect score, and handed it back, said lightly, "Then ask a tutor to consolidate it, and make persistent efforts."
"That's right." The young man smiled, took the test paper back, and said, "But you obviously don't want to drink alcohol, you just use me as a shield. Brother, are you very interested in him?"
"… "
Zhou Rin froze for a while, suddenly raised his eyes to look at the young man, and responded to him after a moment of silence: "What if I say yes?"
"I think it's good," the boy said, "but he seems to be an Omega, don't you reject his pheromones?"
"No." Zhou Rin shook his head, "I like his pheromone. To me, his pheromone is a normal taste."
"And such an Omega?"
The teenager showed a surprised expression, blinked his eyes, laughed suddenly, and said happily, "That's great... Brother, he is your destined partner, you must not miss him."
"Yes, I think so too."
Zhou Rin's eyes were deep, matching the eyes of the young Chun Che, and his voice was low.
"This time, I will never miss him."
