Returning to the office alone, Xia Wennan sat at the desk, took out a chocolate from the bouquet, unwrapped it, and brought it to his nose to smell it. The familiar truffle chocolate tastes very similar to He Yufeng's pheromone, but not exactly the same.
Xia Wennan hesitated, found the truffle chocolate among WeChat friends, and sent a tentative message: "Truffle chocolate?"
After a while, He Yufeng returned him with a smile: "Got it?"
"Is it really you?"
"Didn't you say chocolate truffles are delicious?"
Xia Wennan took a photo of the bouquet and sent it to He Yufeng: "Is it too much?"
"..." After a while, He Yufeng sent another voice: "Sorry, I asked my assistant to arrange it. I just wanted to give you a box of chocolates, but I didn't expect him to make such an exaggerated thing. Did it cause you trouble?" Troubled?"
Xia Wennan scratched the hair on his head, saying that it was troublesome, but he didn’t really like the feeling of being the focus of others’ attention. After thinking about it carefully, he simply used Ming Luchuan as an excuse, and replied: “I’m just afraid of Ming Luchuan. Chuan misunderstood, nothing else."
"I'm sorry." He Yufeng's tone was very sincere.
Xia Wennan didn't know what else to say, so he found a "it's okay" emoji and went back, ending the conversation.
After the lunch break, Xia Wennan took the chocolates to the laboratory and gave the chocolates to the laboratory staff.
A girl said: "How can we have the nerve to eat such a precious gift?"
Xia Wennan picked up a piece of chocolate and handed it to her: "It's not very precious."
The girl took it over and asked curiously, "Isn't it from Mr. Ming? If you let him know, won't you be angry?"
Before the girl could finish her question, a Beta youth standing across from them began winking, signaling them the direction of the main entrance of the laboratory.
Xia Wennan turned his head and saw Ming Luchuan standing at the door.
The girl lowered her head and unwrapped the chocolate wrapper without noticing it, and was still waiting for Xia Wennan to answer her question.
At this moment, Xia Wennan couldn't say it was sent by Ming Luchuan, nor could it be said that it wasn't said by Ming Luchuan. He just laughed vaguely, waved his hands above his head, and said loudly, "Mr. Ming!"
Ming Luchuan and Xia Wennan went back to his office together, sat across from Xia Wennan's desk, clasped his hands in front of his knees, and said nothing.
Xia Wennan still had two chocolates left in his hand, he slowly handed one to Ming Luchuan, and said, "Eat chocolate?"
Ming Luchuan looked down at the chocolate: "Who gave it to you?"
Xia Wennan felt that there was no need to hide it, and said, "He Yufeng."
Ming Luchuan took a deep breath. Although his face was expressionless, his tone became even colder: "Why did he give you chocolate?"
Xia Wennan looked at Ming Luchuan: "Because I said chocolate is delicious."
"Chocolate is delicious?" Ming Luchuan turned his head to the left, and he didn't know if he was puzzled or asked out of habit.
Seeing that he refused to accept the chocolate, Xia Wennan withdrew his hand and unpacked it himself. This time, he stood up and leaned forward from the table to hand the chocolate to Ming Luchuan's lips: "I think it's okay, you try?"
Ming Luchuan looked at him for a while, then opened his lips slightly.
Xia Wennan fed him the chocolate, then returned to his seat and sat down, gently shaking the soft office chair left and right.
Ming Luchuan ate the chocolate and said, "It's not good."
Xia Wennan looked at him and smiled.
Ming Luchuan asked: "Do you like the chocolate he gave you?"
"That's it."
Ming Luchuan silently looked at the last piece of chocolate left on the desk.
Xia Wennan leaned forward and asked him, "Are you still angry?"
Ming Luchuan raised his gaze: "When did I get angry?"
"Aren't you angry when I asked you about Duan Ning that night?"
Ming Luchuan denied: "I'm not angry."
"Why are you angry?" Xia Wennan began to talk to himself, "Is Duan Ning a scar in your heart that you can't touch?"
"You—" Ming Luchuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Wennan's singing.
Xia Wennan's voice is incomplete and out of tune: "Bai Yueguang, somewhere in my heart..." He sang a few words, as if he really felt something, the seat under him turned half a circle to face out of the window, and he looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows. tall buildings in the city, and asked, "Am I a stand-in?"
The moment this question was asked, Xia Wennan put himself into a stand-in situation, and remembered that Ming Luchuan had said that he proposed to Ming Luchuan, and suddenly felt pitiful, sad as if he was really sad.
Ming Luchuan took a deep breath and paused: "What can you do for him?"
Xia Wennan grasped the meaning of his words, turned around and said unhappily: "Why can't I replace him? How can I not be as good as him?"
"I say-"
Xia Wennan slapped the table and stood up: "I am a Beta, but I have been the most handsome Beta in the school since I was a child. Well, I have been playing basketball and have been on our school team. You must know that at that time, everyone was an Alpha except me. Every time after a game, the locker room is full of the smell of Alpha pheromone, which is almost suffocating to death."
"You change clothes with them?"
Xia Wennan didn't realize that he had strayed from the topic: "Otherwise, where do I go to change clothes? The law doesn't stipulate that Beta can have its own dressing room and bathroom. We are already living in the cracks of this society. You don't want to be cheap and act like a good boy." All right?"
"Are you still bathing with them?"
Xia Wennan recalled for a moment: "There is a compartment for the shower, I have never taken a shower with anyone."
"You washed it with me."
Xia Wennan was shocked: "What did you say? When?"
"Of course after marriage." Ming Luchuan still maintained the posture when he first entered the office and sat down, talking to Xia Wennan calmly and indifferently.
"Impossible!" Xia Wennan was very panicked. He firmly denied this possibility, but in fact he was beating drums in his heart, so he wanted to strengthen his confidence even more, and loudly denied: "You lied to me!"
Ming Luchuan stood up, put his hands on the table, and leaned his broad shoulders slightly forward: "I said before, you have a red mole on your buttocks, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."
Xia Wennan approached Ming Luchuan: "How can I see it?"
"You take off your pants, I'll take a picture of you."
"Impossible!" Xia Wennan gritted his teeth and refused.
Ming Luchuan looked directly at him, and suddenly sneered.
Xia Wennan grabbed the phone, hurriedly walked out of the office, and went to the bathroom on the floor.
It was almost twenty minutes after he came back to the office, there were some thin beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was pale.
Ming Luchuan was still sitting in his office without moving.
When Xia Wennan saw Ming Luchuan, his pale face turned red uncontrollably.
Ming Luchuan seemed to have everything under control, and said, "That mole is hard to find."
It's really hard to find, the mole is in the middle, if you are standing, you have to hold it with one hand and take a picture with the phone in the other. But Ming Luchuan did not lie, there was indeed a red mole there, the mole was not big, but it was very red.
Xia Wennan's face turned red and white, and then turned slightly red after a while. He asked, "Apart from taking a bath, what else have you done to me?"
Ming Luchuan stood up from the chair, and buttoned the buttons of the suit that he had untied when he sat down one by one. He walked towards the door, and when he passed by Xia Wennan, he said in his ear: "What a husband and wife should do The time has come of course."
