Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The man in a black coat at the door...
The slender young man in a black coat at the door looked quite handsome and noble. "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Jin Man glanced at the phone on the coffee table. There were several missed calls. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I went to take a shower and didn't hear anything."
He left without saying goodbye because he didn't want to dirty something he couldn't clean, and he also smelled of cold curry, which was very unpleasant.
Drops of water rolled down her cheeks, crossing her shallow dimples.
Lu Yanlin fished out a wallet from his coat pocket. Inside was a wad of banknotes, the same wad that Jin Man had left behind today. He pulled out a few bills with his slender fingers and said, "The money you gave me is too much. My friend's company doesn't need that much money."
Jin Man had seen the receipt, so he should have remembered it correctly, but Lu Yanlin said it was too much, so it must be too much.
He always had an inexplicable trust in this person. Without refusing, he reached out to take the money and put it in his pocket.
Lu Yanlin smiled, showing no intention of leaving immediately. He pointed to the back of his neck and said, "Take care of yourself."
Jin Man felt the gland and found it was slightly warm, emitting a faint pheromone scent. His face flushed red, and he wiped it vigorously with a towel, trying to hide it, but it was no use. Pheromone leakage is almost unheard of in today's society, where inhibitors are rampant. He regretted forgetting it.
Lu Yanlin wasn't unhappy. She handed him a small silver silk bag and said calmly, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
Jin Man squeezed the small bag and answered subconsciously: "I'm on duty tomorrow."
Lu Yanlin nodded and said nothing more. The black coat gradually faded away in the narrow corridor, leaving only a hint of the rich scent of flowers. Jin Man felt that the smell was very familiar. He didn't know if it was perfume, but he felt very at ease and liked it very much.
The small silk bag was well-made. After opening it, I found a compressed silver suppression patch. It was thin, like a combination of silk and metal, and felt cool to the touch.
He studied it in the mirror for a long time, but didn't go out to buy the one he was used to. He hesitantly put it on the back of his neck. It felt very gentle, and the pheromones could no longer be smelled.
The next day, many college students came to the store. Lu Yanlin was also there, sitting in the middle of the group with a cold expression.
He was not wearing that plain outfit, and his noble appearance was so unusual that it could be seen at a glance.
Jin Man took their orders and made latte art. He was responsible for the orders of more than a dozen people alone and made no mistakes.
It was just that the weather was hot and his glands were a little stuffy, so he took the opportunity to go to the back alley to rest while getting the fresh fruit.
Jin Man took off his gloves, lowered his head to wipe the sweat off his face, revealing the back of his fair neck. A silver suppression patch wrapped around the fragile glands. The skin was slightly red, revealing a hint of eroticism.
"Gold full."
Jin Man turned around a little late, and Lu Yanlin stood behind him with a calm expression: "What's wrong with you?"
Jin Man leaned against the wall, drops of sweat falling on the blue floor tiles, and he took a breath.
"……hot."
Beta Bai Ning was very concerned about Jin Man. He saw that Jin Man was wearing a suppressant patch and guessed that he was in a fever period recently. When he thought of this, he couldn't help blushing and his heartbeat, and he kept getting closer to him.
This kind of thing is actually easy to solve. Just take a bite and let out some anger.
He quietly rinsed his mouth just in case, but there were many customers in the store today and he didn't find any opportunity.
After waiting for a long time for Jin Man to rest, he went to the back alley alone. He immediately finished the work in his hands, took a deep breath, and pushed open the glass door of the back alley.
There is a large bunch of white wild jasmine blooming in the corner of the wall here, and the leaves are so green that they seem to be dripping with water.
From the usually quiet back alley came the Alpha's somewhat suppressed voice, making his ears turn red.
Bai Ning was flustered and almost spilled the water on the wild jasmine. He was not sure whether he should bite Jin Man or not, and whether it would be unrestrained.
However, Alpha's hot period only occurs four or five times a year, so you don't have the chance to encounter it every time.
Those ferocious and unruly Alphas will become as obedient as little lambs at this time, stretching their necks pitifully, waiting to be bitten by the person they like to end the fever period.
Bai Ning mustered up the courage to stick his head out, but was stunned.
A slender figure blocked Alpha against the pale green wall. Light and shadow intertwined, and mottled sunlight split the distance between the two pairs of shoes.
He grasped the Alpha's arm, controlling his trembling and slight resistance with a bit of force. One hand gently stroked the back of his neck, and his voice was indifferent, yet gentle, as if explaining: "Don't be afraid."
Bai Ning's face turned pale, and the cup of water in his hand fell to the ground with a loud noise.
He ran back to the dining table in a panic, staring blankly. Before he could calm down, there was a light knock on the table.
Bai Ning raised his head and looked at the cold and handsome man. He instantly felt a sense of inferiority and shame. He couldn't even ask them what they were doing.
"Pay the bill."
Bai Ning was numb as she paid the bill the whole time, and she felt deeply lost as she watched the man walk away.
He really, really hated that person and disliked him very much.
Jin Man took a break in the back alley for a while. The new suppression patch felt slightly cold. He didn't dare to recall the feeling just now, because he was so weak during the fever period that he needed help from others, but he didn't even know Lu Yanlin's second gender.
He sat on the cardboard box and thought, but, he should be the Alpha...
No one knew who threw the cup at the door, and Jin Man didn't ask. Fortunately, no one spread any rumors afterwards.
After that heavy rain, the weather was sunny for more than ten days.
Jin Man didn't have time to contact Lu Yanlin, and Lu Yanlin didn't call Jin Man, and the relationship between them suddenly became distant.
The store manager gossiped, "I haven't seen your friend for a long time."
Jin Man was always busy, always on the way to work. He neither avoided nor discussed this.
The store manager got angry when he saw him like that and sighed, "I finally met this rich guy, and you let him go like that? That was an opportunity. If it were me, I would have tried my best to get him!"
Jin Man said nothing, and the store manager just talked a little.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Lu Yanlin doesn't seem like the type of person with a good temper who would let others get close to him.
He doesn't talk much, and I used to think he was shy, but when I think about it carefully, it's probably because he lives in a different environment, so he doesn't need to guess what others are thinking. Instead, others need to make an effort to understand what he says.
When I sat in the store before, I didn’t think he was that special. It was only when he stopped coming that I realized that the accidental appearance of that kind of person here was enough to attract attention.
But Jin Man was really annoyed by the gossip of the people in the store, so he sneaked out of the store and sat on a bench outside to bask in the sun.
The man in a suit who had ordered takeout before also came to the store once and delivered a box of fruit.
He sat restlessly in the corner, wanting to say something but swallowing it back.
Jin Man made him a cup of coffee with a small flower art. The man sighed at the sight of it, rubbing his hands while sighing, and drank it up bit by bit with great care.
Jin Man didn't tell anyone about that incident. He understood at a very young age that people sometimes vent their anger on others not because they are too mean or vicious, but because they don't have enough room to forgive others and can offer little understanding to others.
But just like the four seasons, winter passes and the spring breeze will come, and people's personalities will change little by little in happiness, and they will think of the people they have wronged.
Jin Man doesn't like regrets, so he doesn't do things that will make him regret.
That summer passed quickly, and then autumn too. The store manager gradually stopped mentioning Lu Yanlin.
Jin Man, who was always busy at the restaurant, seemed to have almost forgotten that Beta had taken a long vacation, and not long after that summer, he found a boyfriend.
Jin Man had seen that man before. He was very tall and fair, full of Alpha's aura, and had a somewhat arrogant and bad temper.
He wanted to persuade Bai Ning to think it over carefully, but Bai Ning stubbornly said, "He and I are similar. We're both disliked by our parents, have the same education, and both have local hukou. We're a good match... You should think more about yourself. To be honest, you don't have good conditions. You don't have any elderly people at home, and you're not a local. As you get older, I'm afraid you can only consider Omegas who are remarried. Think more about yourself."
Jin Man was stunned for a moment and then said nothing more.
Bai Ning felt guilty only after he said it out loud, but looking at Jin Man's calm expression, he felt himself ridiculous. He struggled with this contradictory mood and felt a little pleasure similar to revenge.
It's not like he's not liked.
Jin Man's seemingly remarkable partner was probably playing with his feelings. It was a once-in-a-lifetime luck, like winning the jackpot. Ordinary people couldn't handle it at all. It came quickly and went away quickly.
The weather in Bincheng is relatively warm, but there was a heavy snowfall that year.
Jin Man couldn't sleep, so he leaned against the window to watch the snowflakes. After a while, he felt unsatisfied, so he ran downstairs in his down jacket.
When I reached the stairs, I noticed a black car parked under a street light not far away, with its hood shaking slightly.
Jin Man walked over the squeaking snow, came to the front of the two cars and knocked gently. The people in the cars woke up after hearing the sound and rolled down the windows.
"Aren't you cold?"
Jin Man asked him confusedly, because the heater was not on in the car.
Lu Yanlin was wearing a thin black turtleneck sweater with his coat casually thrown on the passenger seat. His face was very pale, and the snow was reflected in his pupils, like a silently falling rain.
Jin Man didn't ask any more questions. He took off his down jacket, wrapped him up, and then took the silent young man back to his rental house.
He opened the little sun, held it in front of Lu Yanlin, then took out his quilt from the bedroom and hesitantly covered him with it.
"Just changed," Jin Man said to the customer unsurely, "I'll go buy you a pair of slippers."
Actually, there is food. He has been eating instant noodles these days.
Jin Man walked out of the stairs and saw the two black cars again. The cars were not locked and snow was drifting in from the open doors. He walked over to close the door and saw white snow particles falling on his black coat.
Only when he touched it did he realize that it was not snow, but a white paper flower pinned on his chest.
