Thanks to Xia Xiaotong's kiss, Lin Mingfei was now in high spirits and in a great mood. Naturally, she would not bother with Zhou Yanjun. She gave the stunned Zhou Yanjun a warm hug and then leisurely returned to the house.
This not only did not make Zhou Yanjun relax, but made the fat guy terrified all night. He was horrified and worried that Lin Mingfei would be furious and lose control at any time, and jump off the balcony to kill him!
He Youjin was an impatient person and couldn't stand procrastination, so he went out early the next morning with a file bag full of materials.
Xia Tong was still very concerned about the alliance registration, so she eagerly chased down from upstairs, all the way to the gate, and waved her arms sincerely to see He Youjin off. "Manager He, be careful on your way!!!"
Then he saw a shiny Mercedes-Benz parked at the gate of the base.
He Youjin walked around to the passenger seat opposite, opened the door and got in.
The window of the driver's seat facing Xia Tong slowly rolled down. The alpha in a high-necked cashmere sweater was very elegant. He took off his sunglasses and smiled at him.
"Don't worry about swimming in. I'll take him there."
Xia Tong was dumbfounded: "Oh."
He Youjin, who had just fastened his seatbelt in the car, seemed impatient when he heard this and raised his hand to push the person: "Stop talking nonsense! Can you please just leave?"
The Benz was like a voice-controlled car, galloping out into the distance.
Xia Tong blinked twice and was patted on the shoulder. Shi Ya, standing behind him, held his shoulder and chuckled, "It's not a big deal. Manager He's treatment is not a big deal."
"The morning light is so warm, and he's wearing sunglasses. He's worthy of being Lao Fang, the king." Lin Mingfei crossed her arms and snorted in derision.
"Isn't it necessary to maintain the best image in front of certain people?" Shi Ya smiled meaningfully and pinched Xia Tong's shoulder with her fingers.
"I don't think it's necessary." Lin Mingfei yawned and didn't care.
"So you have been single since birth." Shi Ya chuckled.
Xia Tong's reaction was extremely quick at times like this, and she quickly responded to the question, "What does it mean to be single from birth?"
Shi Ya: "It refers to a type of person who has never been with the opposite sex in their entire life—"
Lin Mingfei: "Ahem!" He rolled his eyes and waved to interrupt Shi Ya's sabotage, "Let's go, let's go for a morning run!"
After almost a month here, Xia Tong has completely adapted to the health and lifestyle of exercising with the members of Team P in the morning. She can pedal Lin Mingfei's mountain bike so smoothly that she almost feels like she is flying.
After walking 20 kilometers, he was sweating and went back to the base to take a shower. After breakfast, he went back to the game to clear the CD.
But on this special day, Xia Tong was always a little absent-minded because he was still worried about the alliance registration.
Although He Youjin gave them a guarantee and Lin Mingfei said there was no problem, before everything was settled, Xia Tong was always worried that his second gender would become an obstacle to Team P's progress. So after dinner, he would wait anxiously at the gate of the base at the right time, looking out for He Youjin to come back.
But the clock on the wall kept ticking, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock... He Youjin still hadn't returned.
Everyone in the base went back to their rooms one after another to wash up and prepare to rest, leaving Xia Tong alone sitting on the sofa in the living room, swinging her legs nervously.
Shi Ya came downstairs to get her fitness tracker. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but wonder, "Xia Xiaotong, aren't you going to bed yet?"
"Ah, I'm waiting for Manager He." Xia Tong said worriedly, "It's already ten ten, and he hasn't come back yet."
Shi Ya took his bracelet from the coffee table, put it on her wrist and adjusted the data while saying, "If he didn't come back, then he didn't come back. I don't think he will come back tonight."
"Ah? He's not coming back?" Xia Tong rolled over and leaned against the back of the sofa, her eyes wide open. "It's already ten ten! He's not coming back so late, is something wrong? Aren't you worried?"
Shi Ya was looking down to check her heart rate. When she heard the words, she paused, as if coming to her senses. She turned to look at Xia Tong with a slightly amused look.
The little omega was genuinely nervous for He Youjin, and there was even a little sweat on his smooth, round forehead.
"And there's been no news from Manager He all day. Did he run into some trouble during the registration process, or... was he detained by someone? Did they get into an argument? Or even a fight?" Xia Tong's tone became increasingly serious. "Should we call Manager He and ask if he's okay..."
Shi Ya couldn't bear to listen any longer, and was afraid that Xia Tong would really make a phone call and ruin someone or two people's good deeds. "Actually, it's normal for adults to stay out all night..." He put down his arms, walked over and leaned on the back of the sofa, lowered his head and smiled.
"Is this normal?" Xia Tong asked in confusion.
"Yeah." Shi Ya nodded. "Besides, He Youjin went out with Fang Haoyang. Where will he be tonight? You can guess it with your fist, right?"
Xia Tong stupidly lowered her eyes and looked at her small fist: "Where could it be...?"
Shi Ya: “.”
He almost forgot who he was talking to.
As an old gentleman, Shi Ya would never casually make dirty jokes; that would be very detrimental to his manners. He was just thinking about how to tactfully answer this question when he heard Xia Tong punch his palm and suddenly said, "Ah! I know! Manager He is probably sleeping at Mr. Fang's house tonight, right?"
Shi Ya was stunned: "Ah... why did you suddenly——"
Suddenly becoming so transparent?
Before he could finish the second half of his question, Xia Tong speculated in an exceptionally rigorous and measured tone, "Mr. Fang looks quite wealthy. He has a car and a house, and he and Manager He are old acquaintances, so he drove out his super-fancy car to give Manager He a ride. So, he must be inviting Manager He to dinner, and if it's late, he can stay overnight! Right?"
Shi Ya: “Yes, that’s right…but…”
He dared to swear that the "staying overnight" this little thing meant was definitely not the same as what he said!
"That's right!! It was the same process when Zero first met me!" Xia Tong clapped her hands, "Then he brought me to the base for a tour and even let me sleep there!! So now we're close friends!"
Shi Ya: “…?”
really.
Xia Tong, considering the impressive Mercedes-Benz he'd seen during the day, was still daydreaming. "Wow, Mr. Fang's house must be super big and luxurious! Now that I think about it, I really want to see what Mr. Fang's family looks like! I'm so curious! I just wonder if I can ask Manager He to take some pictures!" After a pause, he pressed on, "Timer, aren't you curious?"
Shi Ya held her forehead and sighed, feeling a bit disappointed with her.
"I'm not really curious..."
"That must be because your family has a huge house, Timer." Xia Tong said enviously, "It's great to have your own house!"
Shi Ya looked at the little omega whose mind was still wandering around the house and the car, and she didn't know whether to say he was stupid or lucky.
"It's a good thing you met Zero..." He couldn't help but sigh: "But I guess only Zero can do such a thing in the world..."
He brought a cute member of the opposite sex into the car and took him home, but nothing happened. He let the opportunity slip away even when it was right under his nose. An alpha like Zero might be made of reinforced concrete.
Although they were talking at cross purposes, Xia Tong felt relieved after being assured that He Youjin would be fine, so she went back to sleep peacefully.
Around 9:30 the next morning, He Youjin arrived late, holding a briefcase under his arm. He pushed the door open slowly, and his usually neat hair looked a little disheveled.
"You're here!" Shi Ya just came out of the bedroom and greeted him when she saw him. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I'm not very hungry." He Youjin waved his hand and said, "I ate a little too much last night...you guys eat."
Shi Ya smiled lightly, without forcing anything, and said, "Everyone is in the restaurant, come on."
Team P was gathered in the restaurant at this time. A wide variety of breakfasts were laid out on the table, including steamed buns, steamed buns, fried bacon, and so on. Xia Tong was bargaining with Zhou Yanjun, the foodie.
"I want to drink yours, the one with taro flavor—"
"No, you drank the taro flavor yesterday, it's my turn today!"
"But I don't like the cranberry flavor!"
"Mine is full of additives! There's no taro! Your cranberry yogurt even has cranberry pieces in it! It's so much healthier than mine!"
"But these cranberry seeds keep getting stuck in my teeth!"
"Wouldn't it be alright if you just brushed your teeth a few more times?"
"I don't want health, I don't want taro~~~~"
The two of them were arguing, and Lin Mingfei, who was holding a cup of coffee, couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled her eyes at Zhou Yanjun and said, "What's wrong with you just switching with him?"
Zhou Yanjun refused to give in on the matter of eating, and flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Zero, you put women before friends, can't you please have some limit?"
"Good morning, everyone." He Youjin happened to walk into the restaurant. Xia Tong turned her head and saw his face. She immediately ignored the cranberries and taro and jumped up from the table excitedly, leaping to He Youjin's side in two steps.
"Manager He! You're finally back!" He clenched his fists in joy, his big, watery eyes filled with concern. "You had no news all night last night. I was so worried about you!"
A faint blush appeared on He Youjin's cheeks. He coughed lightly and patted Xia Tong's shoulder to comfort her, "I'm fine."
"Did the registration go smoothly?" Xia Tong continued to ask with concern.
"Yeah." He Youjin glanced at everyone seated, meeting their solemn and focused gazes. He immediately regained his usual rebellious and sardonic demeanor. He took out the file bag he had been tucked under his arm and shook it for a while, boasting, "Look, it's all done. All the contracts are here. The process went smoothly. By this time tomorrow, we'll have our own training camp!"
"Tomorrow?!" Zhou Yanjun seemed to be in disbelief and blurted out: "Don't we usually have to wait a week for it to be available-"
"Otherwise, how can you say that I am capable?" He Youjin raised his eyebrows, feeling proud.
Zhou Yanjun was ecstatic. He turned around and high-fived Bo Yuda, cheering in unison: "Oh yeah yeah yeah!!"
Shi Ya smiled with relief and said, "That's great! I feel like everything I do now has a legitimate reason. I won't have to bear such unpleasant names as 'Abandoned Player of Team Withering' or 'Red Collector' anymore."
"You mean flirting with girls, right? Timer player." Lin Mingfei said lazily with her chin in her hand.
"What do you mean by bringing girls to flirt? That's called socializing, which includes but is not limited to socializing." Shi Ya said, "But how long has it been since I brought girls to flirt? All my limited gaming time is spent on our omega players." He pouted at Xia Tong.
"Manager He is amazing!" Xia Tong's eyes were almost overflowing with admiration. "You are so great!"
"It's okay, it's okay." He Youjin's self-esteem as a beta was fully satisfied. He felt elated and waved his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Well, Lao He really made an effort this time." Lin Mingfei said: "By the way, can you also say thank you to Lao Fang for me? He also troubled me a lot in clearing up the knots in there."
When Fang Haoyang was mentioned, He Youjin's face flushed slightly. He scratched his head and said with disdain, "What does it have to do with him? I'm the one who's been busy all the time, okay..."
"Yes, yes, you definitely made the greatest contribution!" Shi Ya said with a smile.
"Then you guys eat first. After dinner, I will come and tell you in detail about the new contract." He Youjin coughed and turned to go to the living room while they were cheering.
While pouring himself a glass of water, he took out his cell phone and saw several unread text messages.
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Have we arrived at the base?]
Richard Fang Haoyang: [I've reported this to them. Do you have any other comments? If you have any questions about the regulations, you can ask me. I can see all the comments.]
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?]
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Does it still hurt?]
He Youjin stared at his phone screen. These messages had been coming for a while, but he still hadn't responded. He wondered if the alpha on the other end would get impatient waiting...
Beta's ears, buried in his hair, felt hot.
He Youjin Gary: [I'm fine, I can handle it perfectly, no need for you to worry!]
The opponent replied instantly.
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Then I feel relieved.]
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Please keep the key to my house safe, don't lose it. I'll meet you again this weekend.]
He Youjin Gary; [Get lost, what's the point of making an appointment? Dad was drunk last night and accidentally did that to you.]
Gary Ho: [Dad won't be free in the future, did you hear me?]
Fang Haoyang Richard: [I won't be free in the future. Why are you so ruthless?]
He Youjin Gary: [You're just so ruthless! I threw away my keys! Stop bothering me! I still need to take Polaris to the competition. I don't want others to suspect that our Polaris competition results were obtained through some illicit means.]
Fang Haoyang Richard: [Isn't our relationship inappropriate? I think ours is a perfectly normal a/b relationship.]
He Youjin was about to type a few words to insult this alpha dog who was taking advantage of the situation and was not at all shy about it, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice coming from behind him.
"Manager He!"
He Youjin was startled, as if something shameful had been exposed. He suddenly turned his phone over and slammed it on the table, then turned to look at Xia Tong.
The little omega stood there with his hands behind his back, grinning at him obediently, like a chastity arch.
He Youjin's scalp tightened slightly.
He kept telling himself over and over again: He must not let the alphas on Team P know that he'd slept with Fang Haoyang, that wicked capitalist alpha! Not only had they slept together, but he felt completely fine about it... He and Fang Haoyang were sworn enemies, irreconcilable enemies! If they found out, he'd be slapped in the face!
"Why...why did you come here suddenly?" he stuttered.
The envy on Xia Tong's face was sincere and harmless. "I just want to ask you, is Mr. Fang's house big?"
He Youjin: "..."
What?! The only legitimate child in this base has been led astray by these old bastards? Is it Timer or Zero?
Xia Tong thought He Youjin hadn't heard clearly, so she added curiously, "Didn't you go visit Mr. Fang's house last night?"
Visiting…a house?
He Youjin stared at Xia Tong again and again, full of speculation.
Judging from the little omega's expression, he really seems to be simply concerned about whether the house is big or not...
"Who told you that I went to Fang Haoyang's house... to visit the house?" he asked.
"No one told me, I guessed it myself." Xia Tong said: "It was the same when I first met Zero. He drove me to this base and took me to the cocoon to play games!"
He Youjin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was overthinking it. Xia Tong was still the same Xia Tong, the iron-skinned little fool.
He Youjin straightened his back immediately, feeling that he couldn't show too much guilt, so he said solemnly: "Big, his house is very big, with three floors and a basement."
"Wow! What a huge mansion!" Xia Tong's eyes lit up. "Our base only has four floors!"
He Youjin: "Well... and he is not what I thought he was. I always thought he was the kind of superficial and rude alpha dog who was dressed in gold and silver. In fact, he is -"
Xia Tong: "How is he?"
He Youjin's words stopped abruptly. The corners of his mouth fell, and he returned to his usual indifference. He bent down to look for a tea bag in the drawer and drank it: "Actually, it's just like that."
He buried his head in hard work, and his short black hair lifted up a little because of the action of lowering his head and bending his neck, revealing his pale and thin neck.
Xia Tong's eyes suddenly paused, and her pupils shrank slightly. As if she was frightened, she jumped up by pushing off the sofa.
On the other side, Lin Mingfei was walking out of the restaurant slowly and bumped into the little omega whose butt looked like it was on fire.
"Ouch!" Xia Tong cried out.
Lin Mingfei reached out to steady him, wondering, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
"Zero! Zero!" Xia Tong hugged his arms and pulled him into a small corner. Her face was distorted with fear and solemnity: "I discovered something very serious!"
"What's the big deal?" Lin Mingfei looked calm and asked with a little curiosity.
"That Fang Haoyang might not be a good person!" Xia Tong said.
Lin Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ah... no way?" He asked in a serious tone: "How did you know that?"
Xia Tong said nervously, "Manager He stayed at Fang Haoyang's house last night! Manager He said he was wearing gold and silver and was rude for paying! Then I saw a deep tooth mark on the back of Manager He's neck!" After a pause, he concluded, "He actually bit Manager He!!"
Lin Mingfei's reaction seemed perfunctory: "...Wow."
Xia Tong shook his arm anxiously: "What does Wow mean!?"
Lin Mingfei: "Hmm... What I mean is, some alphas get crazy and even bite betas. It seems they really like it."
Xia Tong: "Huh?"
The little omega was completely confused by his words.
"It's just a bite. I thought it was a big deal!" Lin Mingfei laughed lazily and stretched out her arm to rub Xia Tong's little head: "Don't forget, I bit you too, on the back of your neck, didn't you forget?"
