Before My Withering

Chapter 23

Qi Shu actually wanted to marry me.

Sitting on a leather sofa in a high-end clothing store, looking at the luxurious and exquisite suits and wedding dresses in the window, I feel extraordinarily unreal.

The store manager said that they got my size chart last month, hired the best craftsmen to speed up the work, and made four sets of dresses. Today I just need to try it on to see if there is anything that doesn’t fit, so they can take it back and change it. .

There are four sets of dresses, two black and two white, all of which are similar in appearance, and are matched with bow ties of different colors.

Qi Shu pointed to one of the white sets, and said, "Try this one."

I changed and came out, and he also put on a black suit.

Of the two people in the mirror, one is handsome and tall, dazzling. One was pale and thin, with an ugly scar on his forehead.

Don't think about what kind of person he is, Qi Shu's skin is perfect.

And no matter how I look at it, it doesn't suit him.

He took the bow tie from the store manager and put it on for me with almost gentle movements.

After putting it on, he rubbed the back of my neck and sighed vaguely.

— because there are no glands there

If you don't like beta, why would you marry me

I thought about it for a long time, and only thought of one possibility, that is, Qi Shu was angry with his grandfather and deliberately married a beta whose surname was not Wen.

The store manager used a tone between sincerity and flattery, and praised us as a match made in heaven.

I think she is probably fascinated by money, six-figure couture looks good on a beggar.

Qi Shu hugged me from behind, wrapped me in his arms, looked in the mirror and asked, "Did I ever say that your face is too restless for the room?"

No. He once commented on my appearance as vulgar, shallow, and decadent.

I don't understand, why does he always feel that I'm seducing him and other alphas

Discomfort doesn't sound like a good word either.

Before going out, I took off the necklace and put it on the bedside. He saw it, but didn't say anything.

Now also, I do not answer, he is not annoyed.

There seems to be something different about him, but I'm not interested in getting to the bottom of it.

I tried the four dresses one by one, and finally Qi Shu made the decision for me, saying that the first one was the best.

The aftertaste of a cold makes me tired easily. I nestled on the sofa and watched the store manager suggest to him to make the waistline thinner, so I was too lazy to intervene.

While in a daze, the glass door of the store opened with a creak, and a tall and thin man entered.

The moment I saw someone coming, I unconsciously opened my eyes wide and sat up.

"Wen, Senior Wen Yan..."

Wen Yan was wearing a silver-gray silk shirt, his half-length hair was casually tied behind his ears, and he had a faint smile on his face.

I turned my head to look at Qi Shu again, only to see that he raised his eyes casually and then looked away, obviously knowing that Wen Yan would come.

What's the situation now, did Lord Jin's Bai Yueguang show up before the wedding, throw me a check and say "leave him"

——I really look forward to Wen Yan doing this.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a check, as long as he says a word, I will immediately return Qi Shu with both hands.

But he walked up to me, opened his arms slightly, and said, "Xiao Xiao, long time no see."

I froze.

Seeing that I was not moving, he smiled helplessly and leaned over to give me a hug.

When I got closer, I suddenly noticed something was wrong—Wen Yan didn’t smell of pheromones, blockers, or inhibitors, as evidenced by the smooth nape of his neck in the corner of his eye—his glands were gone.

Qi Shu looked over coldly and asked, "Have you hugged enough?"

Wen Yan said "stingy" in a volume that only the two of us could hear, and let me go.

I still haven't figured out what the hell is going on here.

He still called me Xiao Xiao, he probably wasn't angry with me... right

The first time I saw Wen Yan in person was in a coffee shop outside the school.

My grades in cultural subjects are not good, especially in mathematics. On the weekend before a certain monthly exam, I took a bunch of books and studied the questions in the coffee shop. As a result, I couldn’t do a simple geometry for more than an hour. .

On the verge of despair, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "How about drawing an auxiliary line between point A and point E?"

I looked up suddenly, and saw the face I had seen countless times in the honorary alumni column.

"...Senior Wen Yan?"

There was sunshine in early spring in his eyes, "You know me?"

I replied embarrassedly that I was his junior at the same school, and he asked my name again, and then smiled brightly: "Xiao Xiao."

Later, I could always meet Wen Yan in the coffee shop on weekends. It was very strange that I could understand the questions that I couldn't understand over and over again in class, as soon as he explained them.

I think he is probably the gentlest and most patient person I have ever met. He never got impatient with a stupid student like me.

Then one day, while I was in a daze, I unconsciously wrote Qi Shu's name on the draft paper. Wen Yan saw it and jokingly asked me if I liked Qi Shu. I blushed and admitted, he looked at me for a long time, and sighed. : "Unrequited love is good."

— Crush is good.

Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence.

He sat down, took a sip of the scented tea poured by the clerk, and said, "I want to see you as soon as I return to China, but unfortunately Qi Shu won't let me."

Look at me

My brain is too dull, and I still haven't understood why the situation that should be the Shura field is so calm and even harmonious.

Shouldn't he look down on me or loathe me? With a face somewhat similar to his, I stayed by Qi Shu's side for four years instead of him, and now I want to marry him instead.

"Senior, your glands..." I asked tentatively.

"Shortly after leaving the country, I had surgery to remove it." He touched the back of his neck and said, "Although it is a bit risky, I have gained freedom."

—Thinking of the fact that I installed fake glands to please Qi Shu, I feel even more ashamed.

"The affirmative action movement abroad is huge. In the past two years, many omegas and alphas have chosen to have their glands removed." Wen Yan continued, "You don't know how much I envy betas."

Omega, which is loved by thousands of people, is actually envious of beta...

"Oh, by the way, this is for you." He handed an exquisite box into my hand and blinked, "Happy newlyweds."

His eyes were sincere and full of kindness, I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept the gift box and say "thank you".

Inside the box is a bottle of perfume, a style never seen on the market. The most special thing is that the design of the bottle cap is a crystal and warm amber rose.

I smelled a sweet and rich fragrance slowly wafting from the box, which was almost similar to the smell I mixed with Qi Shu pheromone.

— If we are in love, this will be the best gift.

With a snap, the box was snapped shut by Qi Shu. He looked at Wen Yan and said calmly, "The things have been delivered and people have seen them, should you be relieved?"

"Before I met him, I wasn't so worried." Wen Yan's originally warm smile disappeared, "You can rest assured that a good person has become like this?"

After he finished speaking, he might have realized that his tone was a little heavy, so he turned his head and patted my head, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao."

Then he stood up and looked at Qi Shu: "Come out with me."

Confused, I watched the two of them disappear behind the door.

Looking out of the glass window, they could only see their faces were not very good-looking, but they couldn't hear their voices.

Is it that bad... I touched my face, it seemed a little dry.

Zhou Chen also said that I was difficult to raise, and I was taken care of with good food and drink, but I didn't grow any flesh.

What is Zhou Chen doing now... Will he also know that I am going to marry Qi Shu...

He is Qi Shu's cousin, and he will definitely come to the wedding...

Will he tell me happy wedding

My mood fell to the bottom, and I felt dazzling when I looked at the dress in front of me.

I don't want to get married, and I don't even want to see Zhou Chen at the wedding.
