Winters in the north are unreasonably cold.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly, Li Cheng and his roommates finished lunch in the cafeteria and basked in the sun lazily for a while. After training in the afternoon, the north wind suddenly became extremely strong, and the gloomy and cold wind drilled straight into the neckline of the down jacket.
It was getting dark very early here, it was less than 5:30, the darkness of the night had already subsided, leaving only a thin orange-red on the horizon, falling on the horizon far away.
Li Cheng pushed open the door of the swimming pool, wrapped his down jacket tightly, and planned what to eat in the cafeteria for a while.
There is nothing to say about the food in the training center. Professional nutritionists match the dishes for them every day. Li Cheng's favorite food is beef noodle soup. A pot of bubbling noodle soup is packed in a sea bowl. The dishes are rich, and a thick layer of beef cubes is poured on top. There are a lot of protein, carbs, and vegetables. A bowl of wheezing into the stomach, could not be warmer.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng couldn't help gulping down his saliva. He quickened his pace and headed towards the cafeteria.
"—Chengcheng!" At this moment, Li Cheng vaguely caught a familiar voice in the wind.
Li Cheng's body stopped first, and he subconsciously turned his head to look for the source of the familiar voice.
But after looking around, there was only the whistling of the wind in my ears.
... It should be because he misses Xiao Yiheng so much that he actually heard his boyfriend's voice here.
I don't know what that guy is doing now, maybe he's wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and drawing in the art classroom.
Li Cheng subconsciously put his hands in his pockets and wanted to touch his phone to send text messages, but he couldn't find it. In order to prevent the coach from discovering that he had hidden his phone, he would secretly hide his phone under the quilt every day during training.
It's so frustrating that they can't celebrate their first birthday together after dating.
Li Cheng scratched his hair angrily, and suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from behind him and covered his eyes.
Li Cheng's world suddenly turned dark, he was startled, and an absurd thought jumped into his mind.
He couldn't restrain the excitement at the corner of his mouth, and immediately grabbed the hands with his backhand, turned around - and his expression instantly collapsed.
"Damn, Zhou Jian, are you naive?" Li Cheng pouted, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Sorry, I just wanted to scare you when I saw you in a daze alone." Zhou Jian is a northerner and an alpha. He is very tall. Every time he talks to Li Cheng, he bows his head slightly.
Both of them specialize in freestyle swimming. Although one is a long distance and the other is a short distance, they usually train together. There are six events in the men's freestyle, and there are 11 reserve players. Because Li Cheng is an omega, he has become a very special existence in the team. Li Cheng's achievements are outstanding, other team members are extremely jealous of his strength, coupled with his thorny personality, this makes him and other team members quite a bit unreasonable... Over time, Li Cheng has no friends in the team, only with Zhou Jian can say a few words.
Seeing Li Cheng shrinking his neck from the cold, Zhou Jian immediately took off his scarf to tie it to Li Cheng. He is a rich second generation, and even an ordinary scarf is worth a lot of money, and even Li Cheng can recognize the LOGO on it.
Li Cheng immediately took a step back and waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, no, you can wear the scarf yourself, don't give it to me."
Zhou Jian was rejected by him, and he was quite unable to get off the stage: "...Why? It's so cold, wear a scarf to keep warm."
Li Cheng: "I can't breathe when I wear a scarf, and it feels like someone is locking my throat."
Zhou Jian: "…"
Zhou Jian put the scarf back on silently.
Li Cheng always thought Zhou Jian was very strange. During the more than two weeks of training, Li Cheng accidentally discovered that Zhou Jian often stared at himself.
Sometimes when Li Cheng turned his head, he would catch Zhou Jian's eyes that he didn't have time to take back. Those eyes were full of deep meaning, and Li Cheng's whole body was furry.
So weird! The two of them have different specialties, and there is no conflict at all in the competition for the final places. Why does Zhou Jian take him as an imaginary enemy
If Zhou Jian knew what Li Cheng was thinking, he would definitely be depressed about playing the piano to Niu during this time.
It was too cold outside, Li Cheng wrapped his down jacket tightly, kicked his hands into his pockets, and trotted towards the cafeteria. Zhou Jian followed him every step of the way, and his eyes seemed to land on the back of Li Cheng's neck.
The two passed through the cold wind, pushed open the heavy curtain of the cafeteria, and finally returned to the embrace of the heater.
He trotted to the window of the beef noodle soup and took away a bowl of freshly baked beef noodles. The chef in charge of the rice was afraid that his nutritional intake would not be enough. The beef in the sea bowl was filled with two tablespoons.
"Eat more protein and less carbs." The chef put the beef noodles on Li Cheng's tray, "Young man, if you don't have enough meat, come over and add more."
Zhou Jianyou next to him wanted to eat the same thing as Li Cheng, and immediately said, "Master, give me a bowl too."
The chef looked at the pot where the noodles were cooked: "Student, you have to wait a few minutes. When the noodles are used up, I will roll them out now."
Zhou Jian hesitated for a moment, but agreed.
Li Cheng ignored him and went to find a seat with the beef noodles. Now is the peak of the next training. Hundreds of athletes crowded the cafeteria. Li Cheng searched for a long time with the noodle bowl, and finally found a vacant seat in the corner.
Coincidentally, there were three chairs around the vacant seat, and they were his roommates.
The three omegas didn't know what topics they were talking about, and Chen Miao, who talked the most, was even more excited, with a face full of spring.
Li Cheng walked over with the tray, put the tray down carelessly, and put his hand on Chen Miao's shoulder: "Hey, it seems that you are not tired from training this afternoon, what are you talking about so happily?"
Chen Miao was taken aback by the sudden appearance of him, and said angrily, "Who said you're not tired? I'm about to die of exhaustion. I jumped on the platform 30 times in a row, and my partner, the idiot always It's a slow step, and it pisses me off."
Li Cheng said with a smile: "But you don't look like that... What, something good happened?"
Chen Miao coughed twice, looking mysterious: "Don't make it public - I saw a particularly handsome alpha on the way to training just now!"
Li Cheng: "..."
Li Cheng was not interested in this kind of "sister topic", he "cut", and lazily retracted his arm from Chen Miao's shoulder, and started to attack the beef noodles in front of him.
His physical exertion is huge, and he has long been hungry to sing empty city plans. While burying his head and eating hard, he devoted a bit of energy to listening to Chen Miao's nympho.
Chen Miao is a cute-looking omega, plus he is petite, so he is very popular in the training team. It's just that he doesn't have a good face for the alphas in the training team, and always thinks that they are well-developed and simple-minded.
Chen Miao said: "The alpha must be over one meter eighty-five, and the legs must be at least one meter eight."
Li Cheng thought, is this a human being
Chen Miao: "He's not a member of our training team. He stood outside the fence and kept looking in the direction of our swimming pool. When I went out, I just happened to swipe in that direction - oops, I saw him standing there. , it was pitch black all around, only the place where he was was there was light, that beam of light fell from the sky and fell on him, I was in a trance for a while, thinking, have I seen the gods descend to earth?"
Li Cheng thought that it was impossible for the gods to descend to earth. There were only two possible sources of that beam of light: one, the street lamp overhead, and two, there was a UFO who wanted to suck that alpha.
Chen Miao: "I admit, I was bewitched by his beauty! I gathered up the courage to walk over and said a word to him."
The omega sitting opposite him immediately grabbed his hand and asked, "What did you say to him?"
Chen Miao smiled shyly: "I said: 'Classmate, do you need help?'"
"How did he say?"
"He said: 'No need. ""
Li Orange: …
Chen Miao spread her hands: "So, I'm leaving."
Even though Chen Miao's "romance story" ended abruptly, the protagonist of the story was mysterious and handsome enough to arouse heated discussions among the three omegas at the table.
Although the cold alpha only said three words, Chen Miao, who loves fantasy, has already made up an ups and downs love story for him.
"He was waiting outside the fence, and he could only see the gate of the swimming pool from his angle. He kept staring there, he must be waiting for someone!" Chen Miao held his cheeks with both hands, "and he only wore a woolen jacket. The coat, with only the school uniform inside, looks very cold."
Li Cheng thought, wearing only a coat in minus ten degrees weather, that alpha is really cool, as long as the demeanor is not the temperature.
The roommate sitting opposite said, "School uniform? But there is no school nearby."
Chen Miao: "Then I don't know. His school uniform covers half of it, and I only see 'No.1 Middle School' written on it."
Roommate: "Is it the Capital No. 1 Middle School? That school is quite famous. The school uniforms are British. Boys wear suits and ties, which is fashionable."
"Ah? No." Chen Miao shook his head, "The boy's school uniform is a sports style, blue and white."
Li Cheng's chopsticks suddenly stopped.
Blue and white sports school uniform... The "No. 1 Middle School" school badge on the chest... In such a cold weather, I only wore a woolen coat that could not keep out the cold... An alpha with an extraordinary handsome appearance and a cold personality... The most important thing is, when you walk out of swimming When I was in the pavilion, I heard the familiar sound of "orange orange"...
Several clues came together, and a guess that Li Cheng couldn't believe jumped into his mind.
His mind went blank, his lips trembling slightly. He abruptly got up from his seat and ran outside desperately.
The roommates were startled by him and shouted his name at his back. But those voices were all left behind by him, completely inaudible.
When he rushed out of the cafeteria, he almost collided with Zhou Jian, the tray in Zhou Jian's hand shook, and most of the noodle soup spilled out.
"Li Cheng, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Cheng's figure had disappeared into the night.
…
cold. Biting cold.
The temperature in the capital dropped to minus ten degrees on a winter night. Under the street lamp, Xiao Yiheng leaned against the fence, put his hands together to his mouth, and exhaled softly, warming his cold palms.
The moment the exhaled hot air came into contact with the cold air, it turned into a white mist, and liquefied into small droplets at the fastest speed.
And this scene made Xiao Yiheng's eyes soften for a moment, and he couldn't help recalling the silly question raised by Li Cheng.
He turned his eyes to the swimming pool again, looking at the brightly lit venue from a distance.
The way the doorman pointed out for him was very accurate, and it only took him ten minutes to get here from the gate. As the uncle of the guard said, the entire training center was surrounded by a high iron lattice fence, and several cameras were erected at the top of the fence wall to monitor the area in all directions.
He tried to text Li Cheng, but Li Cheng should have left his phone in the dormitory and didn't see any news from him. He could only stare at the entrance of the stadium without blinking, already prepared for the worst.
The fence is far away from the gate of the venue, but fortunately, you can still see the people coming in and out.
Xiao Yiheng waited quietly for several hours here, his whole body was freezing cold, and finally he waited for the training in the swimming pool.
When the blond boy walked out of the stadium, he immediately called out Li Cheng's name, but the howling cold wind blew his voice away. He saw Li Cheng stop and looked around for a while, but a tall alpha suddenly Appeared, interrupting Li Cheng's search.
Xiao Yiheng knew that person - he was Zhou Jian - when he heard his name from Li Cheng's mouth for the first time, Xiao Yiheng immediately searched for his news online.
He clearly knew that Zhou Jian had bad intentions towards his orange and launched a violent offensive; he also knew clearly that his orange was unaware of it, and only regarded him as a teammate carelessly... When Xiao Yiheng saw it When Zhou Jian covered Li Cheng's eyes with his hands, his uncontrollable anger immediately swept Alpha's calmness.
He is Li Cheng's alpha, only he can touch Li Cheng's body!
Across the fence, he called out Li Cheng's name again, but... He watched Li Cheng's figure go further and further away.
Xiao Yiheng tried to call Li Cheng again, but as expected, there was no answer.
Now... Orange should have dinner in the cafeteria, right
Xiao Yiheng heard Li Cheng say that the rest time for dinner is about an hour, and then the team members will go back to the swimming pool to continue their evening training. The problem is that Xiao Yiheng doesn't have enough time. He has just missed an opportunity to meet Li Cheng. If he waits any longer, he won't have enough time to go to the airport.
But, just turn around and leave? … Xiao Yiheng was not reconciled.
Before he came to Huacheng, he only wanted to be able to see Li Cheng from a distance. But when he really saw Li Cheng from a distance, he couldn't be satisfied at all.
He wanted to hold his hand, he wanted to kiss him, he wanted to hug him tightly and tell him he was jealous.
Xiao Yiheng smiled bitterly, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time again - there were only ten minutes left.
Will a miracle happen in the last ten minutes
Just as he bowed his head, a crisp shout floated down the wind and exploded in his ears.
- "Xiao Yiheng!!"
is the voice of miracles.
Accompanied by that voice, the sound of dense footsteps came at the same time, Xiao Yiheng looked up in surprise and joy, and in the distance, a blond figure ran towards him.
That figure passed through the dark night, stepped on the dead leaves all over the ground, and rushed towards him with endless heat.
It's Li Orange. It's his orange.
He was thinner, more angular, and his features were sharper; his hair was long, and his blond hair was tied into a lively little tug at the top of his head; his eyes were brighter, like two shining stars.
Li Cheng came directly from the cafeteria, riding the wind and carrying clouds along the way. His chest heaved violently, and a hopping rabbit, a snarling cat, and a fish that kept wagging its tail because of lack of oxygen were stuffed into his chest at the same time.
Li Cheng stopped inside the fence, his eyes widened in disbelief, but he couldn't help but believe the figure a few meters away.
"... Xiao Yiheng." He called his name again.
They were separated by a fence, a grid of railings separated them, but not two beating hearts.
"Orange, it's me. I'm here." Xiao Yiheng looked at him with a soft voice.
Li Cheng didn't know how to describe his mood, as if a magical iron smoothed the folds in his heart, as if a handful of soil filled the emptiness in his heart.
They hadn't seen each other for 20 days. Li Cheng regretted countless times that he didn't have a photo with Xiao Yiheng, so that when he missed Xiao Yiheng, he didn't have any photos for him to recall.
And now, Xiao Yiheng appeared in front of him. Like those dreams he had after countless exhausting workouts.
Li Cheng suspected that Xiao Yiheng was not real, but a dream he imagined because he missed too much.
He couldn't wait to reach over the fence and grab Xiao Yiheng's hand.
Xiao Yiheng was very thinly dressed, his fingers were freezing cold, but his palms were still hot.
Li Cheng clasped Xiao Yiheng's hand tightly with both hands, clutching it desperately, transferring the heat from her body to him.
"Why are you here?" Li Cheng asked. The cold wind was so strong that it blew away his hair and the heat from the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Yiheng took his hand back, slowly and firmly, passed his fingers through his fingers, and intertwined with him: "I said, my birthday wish is to see you."
- This is the first decision he bravely made for himself after he became an adult.
On the 18th birthday of alpha, he flew thousands of miles and brought summer into the winter night of omega.
