Xu Wang had left his shop early in the morning and headed for the Weimin residential complex. He was shocked and excited when he received the call yesterday. Zou Yuqing wasn't exactly known for his initiative. But while he was excited, he was also a little worried. Had something happened to his uncharacteristically good friend?
As Zou Yuqing's only close friend, Xu Wang knows everything about the Zou family. Recently, Zou Yuyang got into such a big trouble, and the Zou family is involved with the Wei family again... Is Zou Yuqing really okay?
At around 7 or 8 in the morning, the Weimin residential complex was bustling with people, most of them workers rushing to work, walking numbly with tired expressions. Xu Wang was different. He wore a smile on his face and walked lightly and cheerfully toward the familiar corridor. However, just as he entered the narrow gate of the complex, he saw someone.
Before this, he had never believed in the recently popular "crush" or the so-called love at first sight. But at this moment, he couldn't take his eyes away.
The man who caught his eye was inside the security room, talking to a security guard. The guard looked a little embarrassed, but the man's expression was calm, as if he was at ease. Looking down, the suit he wore made him look serious yet inexplicably sexy...
There was actually such a man in Weimin Community? Xu Wang's heartbeat quickened, and he swallowed unconsciously. He paused, internally debating whether to ask for his WeChat, but he was also worried about being mistaken for someone strange.
I wanted to look back again, but found that the people in the security room had disappeared.
It was a pity, but there was nothing he could do. Xu Wang sighed and continued walking towards Zou Yuqing's house with his breakfast in hand.
He was originally happily preparing to chat with Zou Yuqing, but the moment he saw his good friend, Xu Wang was stunned.
Zou Yuqing looked very bad, with a glandular patch on his face. Thinking back carefully, it seemed that every time I saw my friend, whether he was in a susceptible period or not, his glands were always covered with a patch and injured.
Looking at the not-so-obvious but real bloodstains on the suppression patch, Xu Wang frowned slightly, but did not open the door to ask first. Instead, he handed the breakfast to Zou Yuqing and said with a smile: "Why do you look so bad? Didn't you eat well while working? Here, eat quickly, I brought some for Auntie too." After that, he walked into the house with a smile.
Zou Yuqing gratefully took the breakfast and gave it to his mother, then he and Xu Wang returned to their room and closed the door.
"Thank you, Xu Wang. I really didn't disturb you yesterday, did I?" Zou Yuqing looked at Xu Wang while eating the lunch bag in his hand.
"Really? You know that tobacco and alcohol stores don't usually close that early." Xu Wang replied with a smile, but his eyes kept looking towards Zou Yuqing's glands. He lowered his head and asked tentatively, "Zou Yuqing, are you..."
"I've been marked." But before he could finish his question, Zou Yuqing spoke up. He put down the lunch he had just taken a few bites of. Although there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were very dim.
It’s better to confess first.
Under Xu Wang's surprised gaze, Zou Yuqing continued, "Before, at the supermarket entrance, it was because the mark had not disappeared after being marked. Xu Wang, you will look down on me..."
"Of course not! What are you talking about?" Xu Wang interrupted Zou Yuqing. His thoughts were a little confused. He couldn't believe that his Alpha friend had been marked. "But, is it your... Alpha? Is it your boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"
Boyfriend? Zou Yuqing chuckled, "No."
"Who was it? You can sue him!" Xu Wang didn't want to say the word "forced". His friend was in a really bad state, and he didn't want to talk about it. But soon, he thought of something, "Could it be someone from the Wei family?"
Ever since Zou Yuyang got into trouble, Zou Yuqing had been deeply implicated. The entire city knew about the Wei family's situation. Wei Mingyu's pregnancy had been a hot topic, and everyone was saying that the Alpha was in dire straits. After all, Wei Mingyu had a ruthless brother, and Zou Yuqing would always be the one to clean up the mess for Zou Yuyang...
Zou Yuqing didn't say anything, just closed his eyes. This was a kind of tacit agreement. Xu Wang pursed his lips, realizing that perhaps what was happening to his friend was far from simple as he thought.
"Xu Wang, don't ask anymore. I'm living a good life now. I left the supermarket and went to Shuangming for internship." Opening his eyes, Zou Yuqing continued to confess.
"Shuangming?!" Xu Wang stood up in shock, saying in disbelief, "Isn't Shuangming the Wei family's company? You, why are you still going there when you're in this state?"
"Because of money." Zou Yuqing looked at Xu Wang, "Zou Yuyang owed money from gambling, and I want to pay him back."
"He's the one who owes the money, not you, Zou Yuqing. Why on earth? Ha... I'm sorry, I just don't think you needed to do that." Xu Wang sat down again, pressed his solar plexus and lowered his voice. "It must be Wei Mingjue, the one who marked you. Everyone knows he likes to find Alphas."
"Yes." Zou Yuqing nodded. Today's conversation with Xu Wang was awkward, but he disguised himself well, hiding his numbness. "But don't worry, he... just has a bad temper. He was the one who gave me these inhibitors."
To reassure Xu Wang, Zou Yuqing smiled and pointed to the inhibitor on the table, "He thought the inhibitor I was using was not good, so he gave it to me."
You can't show any disgust towards Wei Mingjue.
"Zou Yuqing, do you like him? Or does he like you?" Xu Wang suddenly didn't know what to say. His friend's deliberate look made him feel sad. "But you two aren't in a relationship, are you? You were forced. Don't think I don't know. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I know what kind of person you are. You definitely wouldn't like an Alpha, let alone be marked by one."
"I have no choice, Xu Wang. I can only accept everything in this world, whether it's good or bad. I can't resist." Zou Yuqing's eyes reddened a little, and he smiled bitterly, "Just like now."
He was like an ant under Wei Mingjue's shoe, and his life or death depended on whether Wei Mingjue would put his foot down and crush him.
The room fell silent. How could Xu Wang not understand? He was just an ordinary person, not to mention the other party was from the Wei family. But he truly felt sorry for his friend, watching this resilient Alpha slowly being swallowed by reality, unable to do anything.
"Let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? Are your uncle and aunt still arranging a blind date for you?" Zou Yuqing picked up the almost cold lunch bag and started eating again, changing the subject.
"Not recently, it's too annoying. I just told them I like Alpha." Xu Wang seemed to realize something was wrong and scratched his head awkwardly. "It was just an excuse, but I saw someone when I came here just now."
"Love at first sight?" Zou Yuqing became interested.
"Probably not." Xu Wang's face flushed. "It's just that he looks very...attractive to me. He's wearing a suit, he's quite tall, and he looks aloof and quiet. He looks a lot like..."
Xu wanted to say, "It's just like the way you looked when I first saw you in college," but he froze, his face pale. For some reason, he looked at the glandular inhibitor patch on Zou Yuqing again and pursed his lips.
Zou Yuqing didn't notice anything was wrong with Xu Wang. He laughed and said, "Looks like he's an Alpha? If you like him, go after him. Did you ask for his contact information?"
"No." Xu Wang shook his head and adjusted his expression. "Well, I guess I missed it. It's impossible anyway. Which Alpha would choose Beta? They all like Omegas."
"What's wrong with Beta? You're great, and you're so outstanding." Zou Yuqing looked at Xu Wang seriously. "Didn't you always say Beta was great? Why are you looking down on me now?"
"Am I very good?" Xu Wang's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, he is better and more careful than many Omegas, so if you like him, go after him." Zou Yuqing praised Xu Wang without hesitation.
Although it sounded fun, why was he being compared to an Omega? Did his friend have the wrong idea? Xu Wang felt a little helpless, but looking at his friend who kept praising him, he didn't explain. Instead, he looked at Zou Yuqing with a smile on his face.
