Lu Yan finished the only meeting that needed to be present in person, and went home from the office with a laptop.
The driver listened to him and drove the car very fast, but Lu Yan felt that it was not fast enough. Until now, he has not received a single word from Lin Si.
Whether as Lu Yan or as Y.
As the elevator went up, Lu Yan kept looking up, and when the gap in the elevator door appeared, he moved towards the door as fast as he could.
There was a kind of silence in 2501 that made him flustered. He stood still in front of the identifier and heard the familiar sound of beeps.
There was nothing unusual in the living room, and the door of Lin Si was also closed.
Lu Yan knocked directly, but after no response, he called out in a low voice, "Lin Si."
There was no sound in the room.
He turned around, threw the briefcase on the sofa as he passed by, and walked to 2502 next door without stopping.
Dance studio, no one.
The recording studio, too, was empty.
Lu Yan stopped walking back.
There are different places in the room.
He pushed open the door of the recording studio again and looked at the computer used by Lin Si to arrange the music. He remembered that he should have put the sheet music picked up by Lin Si yesterday on the computer desk.
Now there is nothing there.
Lu Yan returned to 2501, pressed his hand on the doorknob of Lin Si's room, and unscrewed it neatly.
Inside it looked the same as yesterday, but something seemed missing.
Lu Yan took off his shoes and went in, and put his hands on the folded quilt on Lin Si's bed.
Lin Si does not fold quilts.
There are also a few dolls missing, the ones he loves the most and put by his pillow.
Lu Yan opened the closet, leaving a quarter of the space in each grid. Lu Yan squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and the exhaustion from not sleeping last night and working continuously for four hours swept over.
gone.
To be precise, Lin Si ran away.
Lu Yan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Lin Si as "Lu Yan": [Aren't you at home?]
Lin Si didn't have the habit of replying "Lu Yan" text messages immediately, because he was not Y after all.
Lu Yan smelled the smell of pheromones floating in the air. He remembered that when he appeared in the company this morning, the employees covered their mouths and snickered, and the ambiguous "Omega pheromones on Mr. Lu smell so good..." "Is this why you separated from Omega?" "Looks like you're really in love!".
At that time, he desperately hoped that what they said was true.
Lin Si's departure broke his expectations for the past few hours. In fact, Lin Si no longer needed his company. He insisted on saying to himself that he wanted to go home to work, just because he wanted to know about Lin Si's condition.
Will the bitten gland hurt
Would you mind tagging him yesterday
Can they still sit at the dinner table and chat like before.
But Lin Si left.
Lu Yan closed the cabinet, rearranged Lin Si's untidy quilt into a tofu cube, and then leaned against the head of the bed with the same posture as last night.
When he woke up again, the stars and the moon were hanging high. Lu Yan didn't know how long he had slept, but no matter whether he woke up or fell asleep, he didn't get any news from Lin Si.
There was no Lin Si in the house, as if everything was empty, Lu Yan went back to the living room, sat on the sofa with his elbows on his knees, looking very lonely.
Out of the corner of his eye, the curled paper caught his attention, and as soon as he reached out, he took the note on the coffee table in his hand.
It was written in Lin Si's childish handwriting, which was very brief.
[Thanks]
Lu Yan called him directly on his mobile phone, and the call was connected after three rings.
"Hello." A strange male voice answered the phone.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
"I'm Lin Si's friend," the man said, "You're Mr. Lu? Sorry, I saw him write that in his note."
At half past nine, someone he didn't know appeared next to Lin Si to answer the phone for him. This made Lu Yan have no leisure time at all. He didn't mind that his address book in Lin Si was just "President Lu". He suddenly turned cold and asked: "Why did you answer the phone for Lin Si?"
"Oh, he's in the recording studio, and his cell phone is left outside." The man felt the displeasure in Lu Yan's tone, so he explained a little more, "Before he went in, he said that if he had a work call, he would answer it for him. Boss... you should belong to the category of work, right?"
"How long will he need?" Lu Yanwen asked.
The man dragged his voice out for a while and said, "It usually takes a long time for him to record a song, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by others. Do you have anything urgent?"
Lu Yan paused and said, "No, but you tell him to answer my call after he comes out of the recording studio."
The man laughed for some reason, and then solemnly agreed: "Okay."
At this time, Lin Si, who was sitting in the recording studio, was staring at his own shadow on the ground, in a daze.
He planned to leave when he knew that Lu Yan was going home in the afternoon, and packed his things in a hurry. Fortunately, Liao Ji helped him, so he didn't miss anything.
At this time, it is the last time to go out, but Lin Si doesn't know how to live under the same roof with Lu Yan, at least he doesn't know how to face everything in the past few days.
Liao Ji asked him why he didn't live in Xijiang. He only said that he didn't want to smell Lu Yan's pheromone recently, and he would slow down after temporarily marking it.
Liao Ji, as a beta with no theory, heard that Omega will rely on Alpha pheromone abnormally after being marked. This is the first time he has heard of Lin Si's situation, but probably because of Lin Si's illness, Liao Ji also No doubt about his statement.
As for the pheromone smell of Lu Yan on Lin Si, Lin Si could smell it, even if he was wearing many layers of clothes and wrapped in a quilt, he could still smell it.
Lin Si promised Liao Ji that he would not run around, and that he would not let anyone smell the pheromones on his body, and finally persuaded Liao Ji to take him away from Xijiang.
However, when he was sitting alone on the bed in the guest room of Liao Ji's house, he couldn't help but start to feel annoyed and cranky, and finally begged Liao Ji to take him to the recording studio.
He thought that he would not be so troubled when he was busy.
Lin Si has a dedicated recording studio, and the resident people are all Beta. Liao Ji sprayed him with a pheromone smell suppression spray that worked well, and took him out.
Stay till night.
Someone knocked on the glass window, and Lin Si looked over in confusion. The sound engineer saw that he hadn't made a sound for a long time, so he wanted to ask him if there was anything he needed to modify.
Lin Si took off his earphones, got off the high chair, and pushed open the door of the recording studio: "Sorry, I'm not in a good state today."
Beta, who answered Lu Yan's call before, smiled and gave him the phone: "Let's record it next time, I feel there are still a few chords that can be changed."
Lin Si nodded.
"There's a call, it's Mr. Lu, so you have to remember to answer his call." Beta asked, "Is it Mr. Lu from your company?"
Lin Si crossed out the first phone interface after turning on the phone, leaving only the main menu on the desktop, and said casually: "Maybe." He didn't want to talk about Lu Yan, so he asked, "Has Liao Ji not come back yet?"
The door was pushed open, and Liao Ji came in with a big bag of supper: "Stop recording, eat something first."
Lin Si sat on the side with his mobile phone in his arms, Liao Ji handed him the porridge specially bought for him, and Lin Si drank it slowly spoon by spoon, and listened to the demos he had recorded on his mobile phone.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that the song is sweet, but your singing is so bitter." The sound engineer joked, "What's the name of your movie, what do you miss?"
""Missing You Sixty-Six"." Lin Si answered him.
"The name of this movie sounds sweet and sour." The sound engineer plucked off the meat on the skewer, poked the table with a bamboo stick, "What are you talking about?"
No spoilers allowed, so Lin Si truncated and talked about each character, what's their name, and what they do.
"So it's a classic love triangle again," Beta said.
Lin Si nodded: "Forget it."
"However, let me tell you, that is, now Omega can be marked for life. When we couldn't wash it when we were young, we could still see the special sadomasochistic love. For example, Omega was marked for life by an Alpha who didn't love. White Moonlight Alpha sheds tears and kills love and so on," the sound engineer said with a smile, "Then the protagonist Omega and Alpha fell in love and killed each other, abused each other, and finally fell in love for a long time hahahaha..."
With a move of Lin Si's hand, the porridge in the spoon was spilled on the table.
Liao Ji quickly wiped him with a paper towel: "What's the matter, you can get a table if you drink porridge."
Lin Si also took out a piece of paper and wiped it with him: "Accidentally"
"Hahahahahaha Lin Si was dumbfounded listening to the plot of the dog blood TV series," the sound engineer bumped him on the shoulder, "What should I say, the news broke that you found an Omega and later clarified it, so have you touched it now? To your favorite Omega?"
Lin Si just drank the porridge, and said "huh" in a half-spoken way.
"He's talking about love affairs," Liao Ji said, "he doesn't understand anything."
As soon as the words were finished, everyone in the room laughed and wished Lin Si to successfully mark an Omega before the age of 30, and a temporary mark is also fine.
On the way back to Liao Ji's house from the recording studio, Lin Si huddled in his seat, like a cabbage beaten by frost, his whole body was wilting.
He took out his phone and saw Lu Yan's message from half an hour ago.
Lu Yan: [Aren't you going home today?]
Lin Si clenched his hands, and replied to Lu Yan: [Mr. Lu, I have work these few days, so I won't be going home. I'm staying at the agent's house, which is closer to the recording place.]
He took a light breath, and said again: [What happened last night troubled you, I'm sorry]
Lu Yan only asked him: [Does the gland still hurt today?]
Lin Si lowered his eyes and tapped the screen: [No]
Lu Yan: [When will you go home?]
Lin Si knew that he shouldn't blame Lu Yan, but he couldn't control his emotions, and he didn't want to see Lu Yan for the time being.
He replied to Lu Yan: [I don’t know]
Lu Yan did as he wished, and didn't speak any more. Lin Si shut down the phone, turned his head and shifted his gaze to the heavy car curtain, and he opened a corner to look out.
At half past ten, the city's nightlife has just started, and there are lights and shadows everywhere, against the lively and bustling backdrop, he misses the empty tram station where he and Y stayed together that day.
A dim street lamp is warmer than thousands of lights in the world.
And Bubbles, the stray cat they picked up under the tram stop sign.
Lin Si reacted, and suddenly remembered that he didn't go to feed Bubble today, so he hurriedly opened the software and poked it a few times with shortcut commands.
But Y seemed to have set up some online reminder, and the moment he finished feeding Bubble, he sent a message: [Are you there?]
Lin Si's breath stuck in his throat, and he went offline very quickly, holding the phone to his chest.
Immediately afterwards, Y's voice call came over.
Lin Si didn't dare to answer it, and kept digging at the cushion of the seat with his fingers until the ringing of the voice call stopped completely.
The mobile phone changed and the message rang, Y asked him: [Why didn't you answer the phone?]
Lin Si pressed his finger against the screen, feeling sore in his heart, he and Y have only been together for a few days, why is it like this.
Lin Si: [I've been very busy these days, so I may not be able to chat with you]
Y: [Baby, can you answer the phone?]
Lin Si turned his head away, sniffed, not knowing how to tell Y about this matter, he was worried, would Y mind if he was temporarily marked by another Alpha on the second day of dating, would he be angry.
Lin Si clenched his fists and remained silent.
Y: [At least talk to me.]
Lin Si didn't want Y to be so sad, but he couldn't pretend that nothing happened.
He told Y: [It is not convenient to answer the phone now]
After a while, Y said: [Baby, let's meet.]
