More than one
After get off work, Zou Yuqing invited his friends out for a drink for the first time. Xu Wang, who was busy unloading goods and setting up the shelves just a second ago, greeted his father and ran out with a smile after receiving Zou Yuqing's call, not paying any attention to his father's chattering behind him after he came to his senses in a daze.
They made an appointment to meet at a bar. Zou Yuqing originally wanted to find one closer to Xu Wang, but Xu Wang refused on the spot and even sent him an address that was near his home.
There are very few people in the bar. Weimin Street is already dominated by the elderly, and the customers of this kind of wine shop are just young people who come alone or in groups to sit and taste wine and chat after get off work. Of course, it is not ruled out that some older people who are more open-minded will come to taste a glass.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Xu Wang arrived. Through the glass window, he saw Zou Yuqing who had already drunk one-third of the beer.
"What's wrong? What happened today?" Xu Wang sat next to Zou Yuqing. "Have you had dinner? You're not here to drink without eating?"
Without waiting for Zou Yuqing to answer, Xu Wang looked at the waiter at the bar and said, "Two beef burgers, please, and a glass of the same beer as his." He pointed at Zou Yuqing's large glass of cold beer.
"No need to order for me, I've already eaten." Zou Yuqing was about to turn around and ask the waiter to cancel one order when he was stopped by Xu Wang.
"Then what did you eat? Tell me. I can't tell whether you ate or not. Even if you did, you can still have another burger, right?" Xu Wang said proudly, then turned serious again, "But you're not like this because of Wei... right?"
He had never seen Zou Yuqing in such a miserable state. Ever since his friend told him about his experience, it seemed that all the negative emotions were brought by the Wei family. Before, there was only the Zou family, but now there is one more person.
She wanted to say indignantly, "Wei Mingjue is such a piece of shit," but just as she opened her mouth, she heard Zou Yuqing give a bitter laugh and then whisper, "I've fallen in love with him."
Caught off guard, he froze in place, swallowing what he wanted to say and turning it into a repetitive rhetorical question: "You like him? Who? Wei Mingjue?"
"Yeah." Nodding, Zou Yuqing raised his cup and took another sip. "But he doesn't seem to like me very much, just..." It seems that he just likes my body. He didn't say the last sentence, because that would be too humble.
He is an Alpha. Even Xu Wang had said before that it was impossible for him to like an Alpha of the same sex, but he just happened to fall in love with Wei Mingjue, an Alpha who was better than him in every aspect.
He looked down at the half-finished beer in his hand, the foam still rising and falling from time to time. The wheat aroma of beer filled his throat, but he remembered the taste of strong liquor.
"I think he should have feelings for me too. He doesn't want me to get too close to an Omega." He seemed to be explaining for Wei Mingjue and defending himself.
The burgers arrived, but none of them touched them. Xu Wang was silent for a few seconds, raised his beer and took a sip, then put the glass down, seeming to hesitate.
"Yu Qing, you're an Alpha. You should know that once you mark someone, you'll become possessive of them, right?" What he was about to say might hurt his friend, but Xu Wang continued, "You've been marked by him, so he assumes you're his property. Naturally, he doesn't want to see you get too close to anyone else, let alone an Omega. But you have to know that there's more than one Wei Mingjue."
More than one... Zou Yuqing knew clearly that Wei Mingjue had other Alpha bed partners, and this was also something he cared about.
"I don't know why you like him. The last time I saw you, you hated him, didn't you? And you weren't even dating, and he treated you like this. You and his bed..." Xu Wang couldn't understand it. He became emotional and wanted to say, "What's the difference between you and his bed partner?" But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say, "Yu Qing, do you have Stockholm syndrome?"
"Xu Wang, it's not that I haven't thought about it." Zou Yuqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But it's really not true. I don't know how to tell you. I've sacrificed a lot for Zou Yuyang, and I'm exhausted. I want to pay him back. It was Wei Mingjue who gave me this job, and it was he who has been having people take care of my mother. Do you understand?"
Who could understand his feelings? He thought, in this life, there probably weren't many families as disgusting as his, and no one would bear the brunt of their guilt and suffer beatings for years. Everyone seemed to be better off than him, so no one understood him. If someone showed him even the slightest kindness, he felt like he had seen light and wanted to repay them fully.
"But you said he doesn't like you." Xu Wang pursed his lips, "You two are two completely different types of people. It will be very difficult for you to like him."
Silence fell again. The dim lights in the bar reflected a blurry light in the glass, and the slow old song became clearer at this time.
"Eat first, the burgers are getting cold." Dragging the burger plate in front of Zou Yuqing, Xu Wang had just finished speaking when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure across the street. "Yuqing, I saw an acquaintance and went to say hello. You eat first!" After that, he ran out of the bar.
He didn't want to point the person out to his friends before anything was known about him, but the cold temperament and all-black outfit made it clear that he was the person in the security room that day!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly chased after him and patted the man on the shoulder, "Hello!"

Xia Fan felt like a mere tool. Wei Mingjue and Zou Yuqing had a conflict, and they could have explained it to each other, but they refused. As a result, he became the middleman, sent by Wei Mingjue to see what Zou Yuqing was doing.
This wasn't the first time this had happened, but today all the company cars were taken away, so Wei Mingjue asked him to take a taxi to Weimin and see if Officer Zhang had any movement.
Of course, this is also good. Not explaining it clearly means that Wei Mingjue will not understand his own heart, which will expose his dark side.
He had just walked out of the police station when someone suddenly patted him. He was a little scared as he was thinking about something. He turned around and saw a very familiar face. "Is there something wrong?" he said expressionlessly.
"Ah... nothing, I just really want to get to know you. I've seen you in the Weimin community before. If it's convenient, could you add me on WeChat? My name is Xu Wang." Xu Wang smiled embarrassedly.
Hearing the name, Xia Fan finally remembered why he felt so familiar. Xu Wang was Zou Yuqing's friend. President Wei had asked him to investigate him before.
Not knowing why this person would want to meet him, Xia Fan frowned and refused, "No thanks."
"Wait a minute! I'm not a weird person. I'm studying in business school. I'm a senior at the start of the semester and I'm a Beta!" It was the first time that Xu Wang was so eager to get to know someone, so he introduced himself a little incoherently, trying to prove that he was a good person.
Xia Fan listened quietly, and after Xu Wang finished speaking, he looked up at him and said, "I don't know why you want to know me, but I am an Alpha." Looking at the boy in front of him, he hadn't seen that youthful feeling for a long time, but looking at his expression, did he think he was an Omega?
"You are indeed an Alpha." Xu Wang had guessed it long ago. Although the man in front of him had the same cold and handsome face, he still had muscles on his body, which was not usually the case for Omegas.
"Well, I'll be leaving first." Xia Fan thought Xu Wang would end it there, but he underestimated the persistence of college students.
"Can't we just get to know each other? Can't we just add WeChat?"
Looking at the somewhat depressed Beta in front of him, Xia Fan was stunned. This was a situation he was not good at dealing with, because no one had ever treated him like this before.
"I won't disturb you often." As he said that, Xu Wang raised his cell phone.
In the end, Xia Fan added Xu Wang. Looking at Xu Wang's excited back, he was a little puzzled. Why was he so happy?
But when he saw Xu Wang running into the bar and happily sitting next to someone, and that person was Zou Yuqing, he lowered his head slightly again.
It seems like everyone likes Zou Yuqing.
