Chapter 52 I'll Stand by Your Side
Yu Chucheng actually didn't mean it so directly, but when he realized what he had done, it was too late.
He heard his own rapid heartbeat, and both his left and right atria seemed to be going into disco mode at the same time.
Duan Huaijin usually dresses to look thin, but in fact his body is full of muscles, and he feels firm when he is hugged. The body temperature of Alpha is higher than that of Omega. When the distance between the two is shortened to zero, Yu Chucheng can feel the warm breath of Duan Huaijin, which is both reassuring and very pleasant.
At this moment they were standing on the street. Although there were few passers-by here at night, occasionally someone passing by would inevitably cast curious glances at them.
Yu Chucheng realized it belatedly and felt ashamed. He was too embarrassed to tell Duan Huaijin directly that he came here because he wanted to see him, so he had to use the pheromone dependence as an excuse, "I want to smell your pheromones."
Duan Huaijin lowered his eyes, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yu Chucheng paused for a moment, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Yeah, but it's more because I want to smell it."
Duan Huaijin's hand hanging in the air gradually tightened and finally fell on Yu Chucheng's shoulder.
Yu Chucheng finally managed to catch his breath, and as he was surrounded by Alph's scent, his heart gradually fell back into his stomach.
They were standing facing a dark alley.
“Ding Dong…”
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard in the alley, and a can fell from the pile of cardboard boxes and rolled twice.
Yu Chucheng then realized that he had forgotten to let go of Duan Huaijin. He quickly let go and pushed Duan Huaijin away, looking towards the alley vigilantly, "Who?"
The alley was quiet.
“Meow!”
A black cat scurried out from the shadows.
Yu Chucheng's tense nerves relaxed slightly, it turned out to be a cat.
Duan Huaijin looked twice in the direction the cat ran away, and when he retracted his gaze, he glanced at the alley again.
Yu Chucheng felt that facing this alley was a bit creepy, so he pulled Duan Huaijin to the side.
"I heard that today is your birthday..." Yu Chucheng pursed his lips, "Happy birthday to you."
Duan Huaijin stood in front of Yu Chucheng, the fatigue and gloom in his eyes were gradually squeezed out by other emotions, "Thank you, but I never celebrate my birthday."
Before, it was because his family never celebrated it for him, and later it was because he didn’t like this day.
But today was a little special, mainly because the person who sent him the blessing was unexpected, and he actually began to look forward to what would happen in the last few hours of his birthday.
Yu Chucheng asked tentatively: "Don't you like it?"
Duan Huaijin replied calmly: "It's not that I don't like it, it's because I'm the only one who remembers it."
Yu Chucheng, who grew up in a sweet candied garden and received a lot of birthday gifts every year: "!!!"
Things like keeping a distance from villains and that I'm a straight guy and like sweet girls, he had forgotten all about it on the way here.
He looked at Duan Huaijin steadily and said very seriously, "Then I will accompany you from now on. I will remember your birthday."
For a moment, Yu Chucheng didn't know if he was dazzled, he seemed to see Duan Huaijin smile.
Sneer? Laugh?
Yu Chucheng not only has poor language comprehension, but is also terrible at analyzing people's micro-expressions. "You don't believe it?"
Duan Huaijin seemed to be pleased and suppressed his laughter, "No."
Yu Chucheng couldn't stand others doing this. He was immediately irritated and wanted to use his mobile phone to order a cake to prove to Duan Huaijin that he was sincere.
However, Yu Chucheng searched all his pockets, "Where's my phone?"
Only then did he remember that he had thrown his phone away in excitement.
*
Twenty minutes later, Yu Chucheng and Duan Huaijin were sitting in a dessert shop.
Yu Chucheng was both embarrassed and annoyed. Just now, in front of Duan Huaijin, he went back to pick up the phone in shame. He was as careless when he threw it away as he was when he picked it up later.
In order to save face, Yu Chucheng specially picked the most expensive cake in the store, but it was a bit big and it seemed that two people could not finish it.
"What are you thinking about?" Duan Huaijin cut a piece of fruit and placed it in front of Yu Chucheng, but found that Yu Chucheng seemed to be thinking about something else.
Yu Chucheng cleared his throat. "What if, I mean what if... What if one day you find out that your previous life was all wrong, and that all the bad things you experienced were not what you deserved, but someone else's fate was swapped with yours, what would you do?"
Duan Huaijin said calmly: "That won't happen."
Yu Chucheng continued to ask, "What if it really happened?"
"If it's true..." At that moment, Yu Chucheng saw a hint of sinisterness and coldness in Duan Huaijin's eyes for the first time, "Then I will make that person pay the price, and make all those who deceived me pay a thousand times over."
Sure enough, Duan Huaijin’s thoughts were the same no matter what period it was.
Yu Chucheng lowered his head and whispered, "Is there no other way? For example, hand it over to the police."
Duan Huaijin was stunned for a moment. He had the same idea as Yu Chucheng in his previous life, but later he realized that it was too naive.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the cake on the plate. "Because I know I have nothing, I have nothing to fear losing."
Hearing this answer, Yu Chucheng felt a little disappointed for some reason.
He clenched his fork tightly. A month ago, he didn't want Duan Huaijin to go down the path of evil revenge. Now he didn't want to do that anymore, so he had to do something to change the ending. Since no one else could be trusted, he could only rely on himself.
"You are not without anything. I will stand by your side."
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The less Duan Huaijin spoke, the more uneasy Yu Chucheng became.
Does this sound a bit too narcissistic?
Just as he was staring at the plate in front of him and felt that his brain was as smooth and barren as the plate, a hand suddenly fell on his head and rubbed it lightly and quickly.
Yu Chucheng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
This, this, this, this! Duan Huaijin just touched his head?! What does this mean?
He quickly raised his eyes to glance at Duan Huaijin, only to see that he was eating the sweet cake as usual, as if nothing had happened just now.
An atomic bomb exploded, creating a mushroom cloud in Yu Chucheng's head, and then his neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Duan Haixiang was sleeping soundly on the hard bed in the old and dilapidated house.
Lin Mei hadn't come back for several days, but he didn't bother to care. The debt collectors kept coming to him every few days, threatening and intimidating him, and he was almost unable to protect himself. In addition, he had been running around to borrow money from people these days, and he couldn't count how many times he was turned down. He basically slept as long as he had a pillow.
The cell phone beside me suddenly lit up with a ding.
A text message was sent to him from an unknown number.
Duan Haixiang smacked his lips and dazedly opened his phone to see -
【Have you collected the money for your gambling debt? 】
Duan Haixiang sat up from the bed suddenly as if he had seen a ghost, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Before he could recover, the strange number sent two more messages.
【picture】
[Take a good look. Now you know who to ask for money, right? ]
Duan Haixiang clicked on the photo tremblingly.
The angle of the photo is strange, as if it was taken secretly while squatting in a corner, but fortunately you can clearly see the two people standing and hugging each other under the street light in the photo.
Duan Haixiang recognized Duan Huaijin at a glance. As for the other person, he stared at the profile of the photo for a long time and squinted his eyes. "Why does this person look so familiar?"
