Driving back to Ming's house, Ming Luchuan parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car without looking at Xia Wennan, and walked straight to the garden.
Xia Wennan followed him at a distance of two or three meters, approaching the garden, he saw that tonight's guests had arrived, and not only the guests, Minqin and the rest of the family were in the garden at this time, and tables and chairs were placed in the middle of the garden. There was also a grill, and Auntie was moving skewered food from the kitchen to the garden table.
Ming Luchuan and Xia Wennan were the latest to arrive.
Xia Wennan saw Duan Ning sitting with Ming Siyan and Ming Qin, the three of them were chatting, and on the other side, Lu Huaiye accompanied Yin Zejing to shoot under the basketball hoop.
Yin Zejing was wearing a smart sportswear, while Lu Huaiye was still wearing a shirt and trousers, but his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.
Xia Wennan stopped and saw Ming Luchuan walking by, and suddenly remembered what Chen Wenchu had said about Alpha and Omega to him when he was eating in the company restaurant at noon today. Xia Wennan is a Beta with a unique physique, but he is still a Beta. He was born and raised in a small county where there are very few Alphas and Betas. Perhaps the world he is closest to an Alpha is in the locker room of the high school basketball club.
He didn't care about Chen Wenchu's words at the time, but until now, he had a fact that he was a special existence in this family. Perhaps it is inappropriate to say that, Alpha and Omega are special existences in this world, while Beta is like the worker bees of society, it is only a collective, and the individual does not exist.
Ming Luchuan talked to Minqin, and Mingqin looked up at Xia Wennan, smiled and waved to him.
Xia Wennan walked in their direction.
Ming Siyan and Duan Ning also saw him, Ming Siyan stood up with a smile all over his face, Duan Ning was more restrained and just smiled slightly.
Seeing them, Xia Wennan suddenly thought: Who said that worker bees are only collective and not individual? So what if he is an independent worker bee? At least he can work hard and contribute to society, unlike these Alphas and Omegas, who are governed by pheromones and have not been able to get rid of the most primitive instincts until now.
In this way, Beta has evolved to a higher level, Xia Wennan thought happily.
He walked over, greeted Minqin, and heard Minqin introduce him: "This is Duan Ning, a good friend of Lu Chuan Siyan and the others when they were young."
Xia Wennan said, "We've met."
Duan Ning stood up: "Yes, we met before, but unfortunately that night was too hasty, so I didn't have time to say a few more words."
Minqin smiled and said, "Then you can chat slowly tonight."
Perhaps Minchin wanted to catch the end of this summer, and today's dinner was barbecue and beer in the garden.
Xia Wennan picked up the beer glass in front of him and took a sip. The cold beer slid down his throat and into his stomach. He couldn't help leaning back, raising his arms above his head to look at the setting sun in the distance. Sigh comfortably.
The table is already full of dishes, which are the tin-foil seafood brought out by the aunt from the oven and the cold dishes to accompany the wine. On the right side of the table, Yin Zejing replaced the aunt and is turning over the kebabs himself. specialized.
"My mother used to set up a barbecue stall," Yin Zejing said.
Xia Wennan looked at him curiously.
Ming Luchuan sat next to Xia Wennan, and on the other side was Duan Ning. Duan Ning has a natural attitude and a natural voice, and chats with Ming Luchuan, as if the two are just the most ordinary friends.
Xia Wennan didn't listen carefully to what they were saying, he just cared a little about Yin Zejing's words, he didn't think Yin Zejing was like a poor Alpha. Most of the Alphas and Omegas are from good families, but Xia Wennan met some Alphas who were impoverished due to family accidents in a small county. Alphas' competitive nature engraved in their bones made them more sensitive and stronger. They are often unwilling to show their family situation to others, and keep a distance from others, holding back their energy.
But Yin Zejing said in a very relaxed tone that his mother had set up a barbecue stall before. He is an Alpha, and his mother is most likely an Omega. The life of an Omega who runs a barbecue stall must be very difficult, and it shouldn't be such an easy thing.
Yin Zejing seemed to like the work of grilling. When he turned the barbecue skewer, the curly hair on his head danced slightly. His expression was a little innocent, just like a college student.
Xia Wennan watched Yin Zejing for a long time, and Ming Luchuan asked him suddenly: "What are you looking at?"
At that time, Duan Ning was still talking to Ming Luchuan, when he was interrupted so abruptly before finishing a sentence, he stopped, took a sip of the juice from his glass, then pinched the straw with his fingers and stirred it gently in the quilt .
"Look at Yin Zejing," Xia Wennan replied to Ming Luchuan without even turning his head.
Duan Ning suddenly laughed, and said, "Wennan is really interesting."
Xia Wennan couldn't help but glance at him, it was only the second time they met, why did they call so affectionately? Then what should I call him properly? Ning Ning
Ming Luchuan's face was gloomy: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Inappropriate," Xia Wennan was taken aback and turned to Ming Luchuan. How could Ming Luchuan know what he was thinking? "Did I say it just now?" He asked inexplicably.
Ming Luchuan said, "What did you say?"
Xia Wennan was a little confused: "Didn't I ask you what I said?"
"What are you talking about that you don't know?"
"You are so good at fighting, are you asking the master?"
Ming Luchuan's face became more and more gloomy.
Duan Ning kept looking at them with a smile, and laughed even more happily when he heard Xia Wennan's words, and said, "Wennan is so interesting!" Then he said to Ming Luchuan: "No wonder you got married so suddenly, Wennan is really suitable for you. "
When Xia Wennan heard Duan Ning's words, he couldn't help but look at Ming Luchuan. Anyway, Ming Luchuan's face was ugly, and he couldn't tell if it was more ugly. He thought to himself that Ming Luchuan liked Duan Ning before, and Duan Ning should have known about it, so isn't he afraid of making Ming Luchuan sad when he says such things now
What a standard, a touch of white moonlight!
Xia Wennan looked up at the sky. The weather is fine tonight, you can see a few bright stars, but you can't see the moon. It's a pity, Xia Wennan thought, there should be a beam of moonlight falling on Duan Ning's holy body.
At this time, Ming Siyan came over with a plate of freshly roasted pork belly. He stopped beside Xia Wennan and looked up curiously: "What is Wennan looking at?"
Xia Wennan said: "Look at the moon." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, reached out to take the plate in Ming Siyan's hand and put it on the table, he greeted Duan Ning: "Eat meat." Some wonder if Bai Yueguang eats fat meat.
Ming Siyan still raised his head: "There is no moon."
Xia Wennan was a little amused, stood up and stood beside him, and pointed to him: "It's there."
"Where? No."
"Behind the cloud."
"Isn't that invisible?" Ming Siyan felt that he had been tricked, and lowered his head to question Xia Wennan.
Xia Wennan patted him on the shoulder: "What you see is the artistic conception."
Ming Siyan sat down on the chair next to Xia Wennan, he waved his hand, and beckoned to Lu Huaiye, who was chatting with Minqin opposite him, to hand over his wine glass.
Lu Huaiye reached out and pushed the beer glass on the table over.
Ming Siyan picked up the glass, took a sip of beer, sighed, and said, "Duan Ning, did you tell Wen Nan about your elder brother's childhood?"
