Chapter 64
When Alex handed the terminal to Rein with a smile, Rein thanked him and took it. After seeing who was calling, he didn't show any surprise, but just frowned in disapproval.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Rein asked.
Shi Yu buried her face in the pillow and said nothing. Fortunately, the video was not turned on, otherwise her face would be red with embarrassment, as if it would catch fire at any moment, which would definitely make Mr. Rain suspicious.
Otherwise, what else should she say...
All those words were heard by... another gentleman. Thinking about how he was stunned for a moment, and then told her in a patient and slightly amused tone that she had the wrong person, even though the gentleman later kindly passed the call to Rein, Shi Yu couldn't feel any gratitude towards him.
He even tried to comfort her a bit, even though Shi Yu never responded.
"Mr. Rain," Shi Yu clutched the quilt tightly, took a deep breath, and then said with a hint of complaint: "Why are you..."
"Um?"
"How could you... forget the terminal?"
Shi Yu's train of thought was completely disrupted by the sudden incident. The request he wanted to blurt out took a detour and turned into a question that was neither light nor serious. Rein didn't notice anything unusual and replied calmly: "I didn't pay attention just now. Sorry."
Alex leaned against the door, arms folded calmly, and stayed a while longer to listen to their conversation. The girl seemed to be struggling with the recent incident and didn't dare to speak. That is until Rein called her again: "Shigure?"
"Uh-huh."
Shi Yu responded a little absentmindedly. She tried hard not to think about what had just happened. It was an accident, and no one had expected it.
However, she was also a little worried, so the girl bit her lip and spoke carefully, "Mr. Rain, are you...?"
Alex understood that the little Omega was thinking he was in the way, but the young man didn't seem to care. He smiled and spread his hands to Rain before turning around and going downstairs.
"No one is left."
Rein said as he watched his colleague leave.
Shi Yu finally dared to speak, kneading and pinching the small piece of quilt, "Sir, I think..."
Affected by the incident just now, Shi Yu seemed to be too embarrassed to speak. The gentleman with a smiling tone reminded her that if she wanted Lei Yin to go back, it would be better not to say it like that.
Shigure didn't quite understand what he meant.
The other party's reminder was just enough. Even though Shi Yu didn't understand, he subconsciously changed his way of expression.
"...Are you free tomorrow? I'm done with it, sir."
Shi Yu pursed his lips and asked softly, "Can you come back home tomorrow?"
"You still need to rest, Shigure."
The young man paused for a moment, then spoke without any unnecessary emotion, instructing her, "Just wait a couple of days. If you need anything, I'll go back tomorrow and bring it back for you."
“…”
The girl fell silent, and the officer called her again calmly, "Shigure?"
Shi Yu didn't want to talk anymore. The passionate period made her sensitive and irritable, but she couldn't get angry at Mr. Rain.
"Then please come over tomorrow," Shi Yu said sullenly, "I want to eat cake and macarons. I don't want to make them myself, sir."
She didn't want to consider at all whether this request would bother Rain.
"I understand," Rain agreed. "I'll call your terminal in advance when I arrive tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yu didn't actually pay much attention to this sentence until the next afternoon, when Shi Yu was lying on the bed holding a rabbit and playing with a tablet boredly, he suddenly received a call from Mr. Rain.
When Shi Yu learned that her husband was already waiting for her at the door, she was stunned for a moment, then she got out of bed with the tablet in her arms, and ran downstairs quickly without even putting on a coat and came to the courtyard.
It was not yet early spring, and the air was still damp and cold. Shi Yu only wore a thin shawl over her nightgown. She hugged her arms and ran to the courtyard door shivering a little, then looked out to find Rain.
"Mr. Rain," she asked, holding the terminal and covering her red nose, "where are you?"
The courtyard entrance was empty, no matter how hard she looked... Huh?
"Look at the ground."
Lei Yin gave a concise reminder.
Shi Yu noticed something on the ground just before Lei Yin spoke. She blinked, squatted down with a complicated expression, opened the package at the door, and found that it was indeed the dessert that Lei Yin brought.
Shi Yu squatted on the spot, and for a moment he lost his voice as if he was choked.
"Get your things and go back quickly," Rain said, "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
"gentlemen!"
Shi Yu interrupted him in a depressed and angry tone. She had originally thought that even if Lei Yin didn't come back, it would be nice to meet and talk for a while. However, Lei Yin just put the things there and said, "I'm not because..."
"A-choo."
A small sneeze interrupted Shi Yu's voice.
She sniffed in the cold wind and huddled in place like a cold-fearing hamster. She wouldn't move or drop the things placed in front of her, and her stubborn eyes were slightly red.
"Shigure."
Lei Yin raised his hand and pressed his brow, trying to soften his tone: "Go back, your health is important."
Alex, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the corner facing the courtyard, stretched his head to take a look and helplessly used his knuckles to quietly open the door and window: "Get out of the car, it looks like you're crying."
The girl was still in the passionate stage, and the two officers were aware of keeping their distance. In any case, it would not be wise to approach her at this time.
However, they could do nothing about Shi Yu's tears.
Rein was silent for a moment, then got out of the car with his coat. Alex followed closely behind him, slowing down slightly and falling behind his colleagues.
Shi Yu lowered her head and suddenly felt a fir scent with a chilly wind covering her head. Lei Yin frowned and wrapped her tightly with his coat, as if this could make her get rid of the cold and loneliness.
It also hid the faint, coveted sweet fragrance emanating from her body.
Shi Yu didn't move at all, letting him do whatever he wanted like a well-behaved cat. Alex stood a little further away. From this angle, he could only catch a glimpse of the girl's slender, fair calves and ankles from under Rain's clothes. She ran out in a pair of rabbit-shaped cotton shoes without even socks. Her ankles and the backs of her heels were all red.
"Shigure, be obedient."
The light-blond officer half-knelt down, his expression calm and patient as he told her, "Go back and rest first. I've been really busy with work lately. I'll be back to accompany you the day after tomorrow, or in three days."
Shi Yu didn't say anything.
She squatted down and curled up into a small ball. Through a large coat, Lei Yin could not see her expression, let alone judge her condition.
Noticing that her body seemed to be trembling slightly and she didn't make a sound for a while, Lei Yin hesitated for a moment, reached out, and slightly lifted the coat covering Shi Yu's head.
The girl pursed her lips tightly and looked at him with red eyes.
After just a moment of looking at each other, Shi Yu immediately turned her face away and hurriedly grabbed a corner of her coat to prevent Lei Yin from lifting it further. It seemed that only this small layer of clothing could give her a sense of security.
——Her resistance seemed childish and weak to others, but Rain stared at her quietly, his icy blue eyes remaining calm and rational. The officer seemed to still have the intention of discussing things with the girl, but his slightly half-squatting, somewhat helpless posture made his words sound more like a request.
"Shigure, did you hear that?"
Rain asked, looking at her profile.
The girl still didn't say anything.
"Alright, alright, what are you all doing squatting here?"
Alex took a few glances and then turned back to the hovercraft. He took down a few cans of hot drinks, threw one to Rein, and opened one for himself. "Drink some, it will warm you up."
The young man's voice with a hint of smile sounded familiar. Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, turned her eyes to look over there, and happened to meet the gaze of the platinum-haired Alpha who blinked and smiled at her.
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, and his earlobe quickly turned slightly red.
"...Please drink."
Lei Yin handed her the opened can of drink, but Shi Yu shook her head and quietly refused.
"It's handed to you. Don't worry about Rain. Drink it."
Alex advised, "Tell me what you have to say slowly. You can't freeze to death."
Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed because there were outsiders around. She lowered her eyes, took the drink from Lei Yin's hand, and obediently took a small sip.
The officer with long platinum hair supported his knees, bent over and looked at her with a smile. Although Alex was some distance away from her, the gentleman had a very strong and sturdy build. When he bent over, he looked like some large beast ready to hunt.
None of the three people present stood properly. The two tall and handsome officers accommodated her by either half-squatting or bending over. Shi Yu felt more and more awkward. She wiped her tears and finally stood up.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry."
She clutched her drink, clutched her coat, and suppressed a slight sob as she said, "I'll be right back. I just... lost control of my emotions and caused you some trouble."
Lei Yin stood up with her. He observed the girl's expression and spoke thoughtfully: "Shi Yu..."
Alex walked slowly behind him and nudged Rain with his arm. The young man stopped talking with an expressionless face.
"It's okay, it's okay," Alex raised an eyebrow and shook the can of drink in his hand, "Do you want more? Rayne paid for it, so don't worry."
The drink he just drank was a bit like milk, warm and sweet. Shi Yu shyly wanted to refuse it, but when he came to his senses, his arms were already full of the drink.
"Listen to me, Shigure," Alex said softly with a smile, seeing that he had almost calmed her down. "We're certainly busy with work lately, but it won't take more than two or three days. We can work overtime and come back early."
"Let's finish this work quickly, and you should take care of yourself. Rain will be relieved soon." Alex said, "Hold on a little longer, can you do this?"
Shi Yu raised her eyes to look at him, then lowered her eyelashes as if shy and nodded slightly.
"Good boy."
Seeing this, Alex smiled and took two steps back - the gazes from his colleagues behind him were almost unbearable for him. Alex, who was some distance away from the little Omega just now, was getting closer and closer to the girl. He was well aware of the warning contained in his colleagues' gazes.
He knew when to quit.
Shi Yu was almost coaxed back in the end. She went back in a better mood, holding the drinks and Rain's coat.
In the car, the light-blond young man lowered his eyes to look at the terminal. In the middle of handling official business, Rein asked casually, "When did you buy the drinks?"
Alex, who was driving on the way back, stared straight ahead at the road, a small smile on his lips: "It was given to me as a gift when I bought dessert just now."
"Six cans?"
"Okay," Alex's smile faltered, and he rubbed the console with his fingertips before admitting, "It looked delicious, so I grabbed a few cans and just put them in your bag for you to check out."
Lei Yin raised his eyes, his ice-blue eyes rested on his colleague for a moment, then he said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
Rein returned home three days later.
In fact, after that gentleman's persuasion, Shi Yu felt embarrassed that coming back early meant they would have to work overtime to catch up on the work. She knew that she was being willful and had full understanding of Rein, so even if Mr. Rein was a day or two late, Shi Yu didn't think much about it.
Moreover, she had been talking to Rein as usual these past few days, and from Rein, Shi Yu learned that the officer's name was "Alex."
Occasionally they would talk about Alex, because Rain was temporarily staying at his house. When Shigure mentioned Alex, there was even an instance where he himself heard it. At this time, the platinum-haired Alpha officer would come over without any airs and chat with her naturally and casually.
The symptoms of the passion phase gradually disappeared from the girl, and when Rayne returned, there was no smell in the house that could disturb him.
In the afternoon, the terminal rang. Shi Yu just came out of the kitchen and saw Lei Yin answering the phone.
"I've brought you the things we agreed on two days ago." The familiar young man said with a smile, "Would you like to come out for a while?"
Rein stood up and adjusted his gloves as he walked out: "Got it."
"Um, Mr. Rain..."
The girl quickly followed him and asked curiously, "Is that Mr. Alex?"
Before Rein could answer, Alex's voice came from the phone, "Hey, Xiaoshiyu."
Shi Yu pursed his lips and smiled, then said, "Hello, sir."
Then, as if she remembered something, she suddenly said, "Oh, that's right!"
Lei Yin paused slightly and looked back at her.
"I'm planning to try a new dish today and have prepared a lot of ingredients," Shi Yu pulled on Rain's clothes and made a suggestion with shining eyes.
"So, sir, let's keep Mr. Alex here for dinner, shall we?"
The author has something to say:
I imagined a threesome of instructors together hehehe.
So cool!
