Chapter 31
Ji Liao was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen!"
He had no recollection of returning to his room last night and holding Wen Qiu tightly, refusing to let go.
He also didn't remember. He talked a lot to Wen Qiu, complaining about the large number of classes, the 10,000-meter run in the physical test, and the classmates who were slandering him online.
After Wen Qiu listened to his complaints, he finally tucked him into bed. However, he struggled to get up and call Chen Ziri to ask if she had returned to the dormitory.
He naturally also forgot Wen Qiu's expression of suppressing his anger at that time.
Wen Qiu remembered it very clearly and couldn't help but tease:
"You don't want to go back to school so much? Didn't you want to go back to see your roommate last night?"
Ji Liao was shocked, afraid of making Wen Qiu angry again, and immediately said, "Of course I'd rather live with Mr. Wen! How can my roommate compare to Mr. Wen!!"
"Um."
Wen Qiu was originally teasing Ji Liao, so he nodded and said, "If you encounter any difficulties at school, you can tell me."
"ah?"
Ji Liao was confused.
Wen Qiu: "Deng Yangyang, that's her name, right?"
Ji Liao covered his mouth with his hand.
He must have been drunk last night and complained to Wen Qiu!
The original intention was not to cause trouble for Wen Qiu because of such a small matter, but in the end it was exposed.
Ji Liao was annoyed, but he quickly tried to make amends: "We've already dealt with Mr. Wen, don't worry!"
Wen Qiu waved his hand.
"I'll tell you what it means to be resolved."
*
Ji Liao didn't know what Wen Qiu meant.
I returned to school with a worried heart. As soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw Zhou Wei clinging to the railing of Chen Zili's bed:
"Li, get up and eat something."
Chen Zili: "Wuwuwuwu..."
Ji Liao was startled: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Wei jumped down from his chair and said helplessly, "Last night I thought there was a typhoon, but this morning I found out it was him crying in his bed. He'd been crying for half the night, didn't go to class in the morning, didn't eat or drink, and ignored me when I talked to him. What's going on? Is he heartbroken?"
"Uh... more or less."
Ji Liao understood and said, "His idol announced his retirement last night, and he was upset."
"What idol!" Chen Zili cried out, lifting the curtain to reveal a pair of swollen red eyes: "He is my life!!!"
After saying that, he shrank back: "Woo woo woo..."
Ji Liao: “…”
Zhou Wei scratched his head, looking troubled.
Ji Liao patted Zhou Wei's shoulder: "It's okay, let him calm down."
This interruption made Ji Liao forget what he was worried about.
It was not until the afternoon when Ji Liao went to class that he discovered that Deng Yangyang was not there.
I didn't like Deng Yangyang in the first place, it's better if I can't see him.
But not long after Ji Liao sat down, the teacher had not arrived yet, and the alpha in the back seat patted Ji Liao.
Ji Liao turned around, and Alpha asked quietly: "Have you seen the post?"
Ji Liao: "What post?"
"Deng Yangyang's punishment notice!" the alpha beside him automatically added, "He's been spreading rumors about a lot of people since his freshman year, and this time he's been caught."
"He also spread rumors about you, Ji Liao. We believed him before. Sorry, brother."
"Cunning Omega!"
Ji Liao instantly thought of what Wen Qiu said that morning, turned around, took out his cell phone, and opened the forum to check.
The penalty notice for Deng Yangyang was indeed posted on the homepage.
The main text is very detailed. In addition to reporting Deng Yangyang's name and major, it also describes in detail which classmates Deng Yangyang has spread rumors to through a fake account since his freshman year.
Among them are alpha, beta, and omega.
The victimized students formed an alliance and jointly reported the case to defend their rights. After a thorough investigation, the school discovered that the rumor accounts all belonged to Deng Yangyang.
To sum up, the school believes that Deng Yangyang's behavior is extremely bad and expelled him.
Ji Liao:!
The classmates behind him were still talking about their previous experiences of being cheated, while Ji Liao took a screenshot of the page and clicked on Wen Qiu's avatar.
He wanted to ask if Wen Qiu had done something?
But he deleted the text halfway through typing.
Wen Qiu is helping him.
And Deng Yangyang is paying the price for his actions.
If he asks, won't it seem that he is ignorant?
After a pause, he typed again:
Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Wen. I have learned from them.
【Send love,biubiu.JPG】
*
The incident has passed, and Ji Liao no longer has to worry about Deng Yangyang influencing him.
When I returned to the dormitory, Chen Ziri's incident was not over yet.
"You haven't gotten out of bed yet?" Ji Liao looked at the tightly drawn curtains.
There were two meals on Zhou Wei's table. He ate one of them with big mouthfuls, saying as he ate, "Yes, he hasn't had a drop of food, and hasn't made any noise. He even ignored me when I talked to him. If he doesn't want to eat this, you can have it. Don't waste it."
"I won't eat it. You're an alpha, so eat more."
Ji Liao walked to Chen Zili's bed, not sure if Chen Zili was asleep, and called out softly:
"Chen Xiaoli."
No answer.
Ji Liao waited for a moment and said to himself, "I'm moving out."
"ah?"
Zhou Wei was the first to chime in: "Are you moving out? Why?"
Chen Zili finally responded. He lifted the curtain, revealing his swollen eyes. "Why are you leaving too?"
“…I’m not dropping out of school.”
Ji Liao: "I still attend classes, and we can still see each other every day."
"That's different!"
Chen Zili seemed to have been hit hard, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Is Mercury retrograde this month? You want to move out, and Lou Yue has also retired from the entertainment industry, wuwuwu..."
These two things are completely unrelated. Ji Liao was helpless, and Zhou Wei also had a helpless expression on his face.
"Don't cry." Ji Liao said: "I'll tell you in secret, Lou Yue will come back."
"Don't comfort me, you don't understand."
Chen Ziri turned over and lay weakly on the bed, his eyes blank.
Ji Liao really didn't understand, but what he said was the truth.
He looked at Zhou Wei's clear eyes, and then at Chen Ziri's dying appearance.
He leaned closer to the bedside and said firmly, "Believe me, if you can endure this period, Lou Yue will be back soon."
They are just part of the protagonists' play, so why should they overexert themselves?
Chen Zili finally showed some reaction. He tilted his head and looked at Ji Liao doubtfully. Then he turned over and asked, "Do you have inside information? Do you know someone in the circle?! You..."
"Stop!" Ji Liao was afraid to continue talking because Chen Ziri treated him as a mysterious boss.
"Anyway, just trust me. Hurry up and take a shower and eat. I have to move some things."
"Yeah!" Chen Ziri's eyes lit up and he got out of bed immediately.
*
Ji Liao moved back to the villa.
Ji Liao seemed to have experienced the feeling of going to work as he had to drive to class every day.
But there is zero pressure.
Although Wen Qiu is very busy, he still goes back to the villa most of the time.
The two of them didn't communicate much. It basically consisted of Ji Liao cooking and Wen Qiu eating, and other than that they were busy with their own things.
The days passed by peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January.
The snow, which had been dormant for a long time, finally fell down.
After Ji Liao finished his last exam, he said goodbye to his classmates and ran to the car with his collar held up.
Shaking the snow off his hair, Ji Liao took out his phone and sent a message to Wen Qiu:
[Mr. Wen, I've finished my exams, and it's officially winter vacation!]
Wen Qiu responded quickly, without saying a word, and transferred 500,000 yuan.
Ji Liao was flattered and replied with a suppressed smile:
[Mr. Wen, that's not what I meant.]
After spending a long time together, Ji Liao got to know Wen Qiu's character better and better.
He is really cold and really generous.
Consistent with his initial judgment, as long as Wen Qiu lived comfortably, he would have plenty of pocket money.
Sure enough, Wen Qiu replied concisely:
【Congratulations on the holiday.】
Ji Liao smiled and clicked to receive the payment:
[Thank you, Mr. Wen. I'll go back and sweep the snow. We'll have hot pot tonight!]
His "salary" is paid normally every month, which means that at this moment, he has earned one million this month!
happy!
Wen Qiu replied:
[No, pack your bags, we'll leave early.]
*
Ji Liao lived a peaceful life for a while and actually gave up on following the plot.
I even hope that the original plot will take a complete turn.
Unfortunately, what is meant to come will come.
Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi’s wedding is about to take place.
Due to the cold weather in the city, the Meng family arranged the wedding on a resort island for better effect.
It is said that the island is the private property of the Meng family, and its main business is entertainment for the rich. The only ways to get to the island are by private plane and speedboat.
Ji Liao had never taken such a high-end route before, and he was a little looking forward to it. But later, when he had to go with Wen Qiu's father and his family, he was not so enthusiastic anymore.
Wen Qiu's luggage had been packed, Ji Liao packed his own, and Zhang Nan came to pick him up to meet up with Wen Qiu.
The snow had stopped, and Zhang Nan drove directly to the airport.
Ji Liao had never even taken a commercial flight in his previous life, let alone a private plane.
So he was still a little nervous.
Until I saw Wen Qiu and his family.
Ji Liao smiled brightly and ran straight to Wen Qiu: "Mr. Wen."
Because it was a private area, only Wen Qiu's family members were in the huge lounge.
Ji Liao was the first to greet Wen Qiu. Before Wen Qiu responded, the person next to him spoke up:
"What a strange beta! He made so many people wait. I wonder who he is."
Ji Liao looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a child leaning on the leather sofa. He looked like a high school student.
He glanced at Ji Liao and snorted in a low-class manner.
Ji Liao didn't know who it was, but he was sure it was one of Wen Qiu's younger brothers.
He simply pretended not to hear and continued to face Wen Qiu with a smile.
Wen Qiu spoke coldly:
"Is this how your mother taught you to greet adults?"
The child seemed to have not expected Wen Qiu to defend Ji Liao. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became furious.
"Why do you say that to me?"
At this time, a woman dressed in jewels came from a distance.
"Xiaocheng, you can't be disrespectful to your brother." She "scolded" the child with a smile.
There was no need to guess, Ji Liao could see that the other party was Wen Qiu's Omega stepmother.
After a long time, Ji Liao almost forgot all the characters in the original work except the protagonist.
But at least he still remembered the family relationship.
Wen Qiu has two half-brothers, one Omega is still in school, and the other Omega is idle.
Lu Cheng shut up in dismay, while Wen Qiu looked at his stepmother with the same indifference:
"Aunt Yuan."
Yuan Jingjing smoothed her hair with the hand wearing the large gem ring, looked at Ji Liao and said, "Your father will be here soon. Is this the friend Lou Yue invited?"
Ji Liao attended the wedding not as a companion of Wen Qiu, but as one of the officially invited relatives and friends.
He just asked Wen Qiu to take him to the island.
Ji Liao didn't need to socialize with anyone other than Wen Qiu, so he just politely said hello: "Hello, Auntie."
Wen Qiu took Ji Liao's suitcase and said:
"He was supposed to leave with Lou Yue. I asked him to come here."
Ji Liao raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qiu.
Yuan Jingjing and Lu Cheng obviously looked down on him, but he planned to pretend not to know and never thought that Wen Qiu would defend him again and again.
If anyone says Wen Qiu is a villain, he will be the first to disagree!
"What are you talking about? Are all the people here?"
Lu Hongda arrived late.
Lu Junhao followed behind him.
And the staff member who trotted forward said: "Mr. Lu, the luggage has been packed and you can leave at any time."
Lu Hongda also glanced at Ji Liao.
"Let's go." Wen Qiu didn't say anything to Lu Hongda. He put his arm around Ji Liao's shoulder and prepared to board the plane first.
"Brother, why didn't you even say hello?"
Lu Junhao took off his sunglasses and whispered to Lu Hongda:
"Who's that next to him? Is he going to take our plane?"
Yuan Jingjing had already come to Lu Hongda and was holding his arm.
Before Lu Hongda could speak, he said:
"You should focus more on the company's business and less on asking about your brother."
*
Ji Liao thought that he would not be very happy to have Lu Hongda and his family traveling with him.
But when he and Wen Qiu got on the plane and saw the luxury of a private jet for the first time, he was still stunned.
There were only a few of them in the spacious cabin, which was fully equipped with facilities and even had a dedicated butler to serve them at all times.
Wen Qiu chose a seat and sat down as usual, and Ji Liao quickly followed suit.
Lu Junhao seemed dissatisfied. Standing beside the seat, he asked, "Dad, why don't we take a boat? Didn't you just buy a boat?"
"Hmph." Lu Hongda knocked on the table, and the butler immediately poured him a glass of wine with a tactful look.
As the aroma filled the cup, Lu Hongda remained silent. It was Yuan Jingjing who spoke:
"Our ship is bigger than the Lou family's. This is a marriage between the Lou and Meng families. We can't steal the limelight."
After saying this, she didn't care at all about her son's stupidity, and asked Lu Hongda:
"I still haven't decided which set of jewelry to wear. Can you help me pick one out?"
"Mom, did you bring my dress for me?" Lu Cheng started asking without caring what Yuan Jingjing was doing.
Ji Liao had never been on a plane before, but he knew from watching movies and TV shows that one should fasten their seat belts. While Lu Hongda and his family were talking, he silently stroked his seat belt.
Where is the clip? Why can't I pull it out? Is this button a switch?
With a "hiss", Ji Liao's chair rotated 90 degrees.
“…”
Unexpectedly, Ji Liao and Wen Qiu met eyes. Just as he was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, Wen Qiu spoke first:
"Is it noisy?"
"ah?"
Ji Liao was so focused on studying the unfamiliar equipment that he didn't hear the conversation of the Lu family at all.
Wen Qiu didn't seem to need his answer. He stood up as soon as he finished speaking and pulled him up with him.
Everyone looked at them, but Wen Qiu didn't even look away and led Ji Liao to the room.
Ji Liao finally opened his eyes.
There are actually single rooms on the plane?!
"Mom, my brother and the others came into the room!"
"Shh, don't talk."
The voices of Lu Jingjing and others were isolated outside the door, while Ji Liao looked around the room.
Compared with the rooms in the villa, this bedroom is naturally small.
But this is on a plane!
A clean white double bed is placed in the center, and there are sofas, armchairs, tables, and TV game consoles.
There is also a separate toilet and shower room!
"I'm going to take a nap. Do you want to sleep?" Wen Qiu took off his coat.
"No." Ji Liao said firmly: "I'm not sleepy at all."
This might be his only chance in his life to ride on a private jet, so he wants to take a closer look!
Wen Qiu said "hmm" and pushed open an invisible door.
Ji Liao: “!”
There's even a cloakroom?!
In the room where only Wen Qiu was, Ji Liao was much more relaxed than before. He sat down on the sofa and started studying.
It turned out that he had accidentally touched the rotation key.
Why does the sofa rotate?
He doesn't understand either.
After a while, Wen Qiu came out changed into home clothes.
Since Wen Qiu resigned and rejoined the company, Lu Hongda's frequency of bossing him around has obviously decreased.
So he felt at ease and didn't bother to be polite with Lu Hongda. He went to bed, got under the quilt, and put on a blindfold.
Ji Liao looked at Wen Qiu the whole time until Wen Qiu stopped moving.
Really sleeping.
In silence, Ji Liao put on his headphones and planned to watch a movie.
While taking the headphones, he consciously or unconsciously confirmed again that the inhibitor was still in his bag.
*
A few hours later, the plane landed on the resort island.
During the flight, the butler also arranged many exquisite dishes. Wen Qiu did not eat because he was sleeping, so Ji Liao ate two servings.
So Ji Liao was particularly energetic. He changed into summer short-sleeved shirt and shorts, walked out of the cabin, felt the warm breeze, and smiled.
"You're finally here!"
From a distance, Lou Yue's adoptive father Lou Yongzhen came to greet him.
The original novel has more descriptions of Lou Yue’s adoptive parents, but this is the first time Ji Liao has met them.
Lou Yongzhen and Lu Hongda have always been good friends, so their whole family came to pick up Lu Hongda.
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
"The small town has grown up."
"My sister-in-law has become younger."
…
After stepping back onto the ground, Lou Yue came to Wen Qiu amidst a flurry of greetings:
"Brother Qiu."
Then he shifted his gaze:
"Ji Liao, welcome."
"Thanks for the invitation! Congratulations!"
Ji Liao stared at Lou Yue and smiled.
Lou Yue was not alone. He was pushing a wheelchair, and in the wheelchair sat Alpha, the biological son of his adoptive parents.
Ji Liao also saw it for the first time.
"This is my brother, Lou Yu."
Ji Liao specially introduced Ji Liao: "This is Ji Liao, Qiu Ge's friend, and also my friend."
"Hello."
Lou Yu nodded slightly.
Unlike Meng Shuyi's morbid and violent appearance, Lou Yu was obviously weak.
He had pale skin, wore a long-sleeved coat, and had a blanket wrapped around his legs, looking like he was in a different season than the others.
Ji Liao immediately responded: "Hello."
There is another plot about Lou Yue and Lou Yu in the original novel.
Therefore, Ji Liao was in a subtle mood and could only laugh.
Fortunately, they didn't stand there for too long.
The wedding will not take place for a few days, so the guests arrived early, as if the Meng and Lou families were treating everyone to a vacation.
So Ji Liao thought that they would go to the hotel.
But no.
Accompanied by the Lou family, they returned to their private residence.
That’s right, Lu Hongda has a private mansion on this island, which is only for his family’s use.
Although the ownership of the island belongs to the Meng family, the mansions on the island each have their own owner.
Ji Liao, who had seen private jets before, did not make a fuss.
"Dinner is scheduled for 7 o'clock. You guys take a break. We'll see you later?"
Lou Yue’s adoptive mother Zhang Ying said.
"Okay, see you later." Yuan Jingjing took Zhang Ying's arm and sent the Lou family out the door.
Lou Yue was still pushing Lou Yu. Wen Qiu said goodbye to Lou Yue and showed no intention of seeing him off.
Lou Yue was not in a hurry to leave.
"Ji Liao," Lou Yue said, "There's a great sea view hotel here. I've booked a room for you. Come with us."
"Huh?" Ji Liao blinked.
In fact, he felt uncomfortable when he walked in.
Unlike taking a plane, he felt uncomfortable thinking about having to stay in Lu Hongda's house for several days.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yue had made arrangements in advance.
Ji Liao wanted to say "Okay", but before he could say it, he subconsciously looked at Wen Qiu, asking for his opinion with his eyes.
Wen Qiu nodded, and Ji Liao was delighted.
Just as he was about to speak, Wen Qiu spoke first:
"A new hotel? I'll go too."
“…”
Lou Yue looked at Wen Qiu in confusion.
Lu Hongda, who had been living peacefully all the way, finally lost his patience when he heard them talking: "There are so many rooms in the house, can't you stay?"
Lu Hongda cares about his reputation. Even though he dislikes Ji Liao, he can still tolerate him because he looks down on him.
Wen Qiu is different.
Wen Qiu's resignation had already caused quite a stir. Many people in the industry would be attending the wedding, and if outsiders discovered that Wen Qiu was living away from home, it would be embarrassing.
Just one sentence from him broke the pretended calm.
The atmosphere was tense and Lou Yue looked embarrassed.
There was silence for two seconds. Wen Qiu seemed not to hear the warning and asked back, "I want to stay in a hotel, is that not okay?"
After saying that, he motioned Ji Liao to go with him.
"Wen Qiu! Stop!" Lu Hongda said the same thing again.
The alpha pheromone attack from the superior follows closely.
Wen Qiu did not stop.
"Uncle, don't be angry. See you later."
Out of consideration for the reputation of both families, Lou Yue said goodbye politely and left quickly.
The driver was still waiting outside, and a specialist helped Lou Yu into the car.
After everyone got in the car, Ji Liao saw Yuan Jingjing appear at the door.
Then Wen Qiu closed the car door, blocking his view.
"Brother Qiu, is your father still mad at you?" Lou Yue opened the car window and waved at Yuan Jingjing: "Goodbye, Auntie!"
Wen Qiu sneered.
"Who cares?"
Ji Liao and Wen Qiu have been together for quite a while. If you exclude the time spent at work, school and sleeping, they can be said to be together day and night.
Ji Liao rarely saw Wen Qiuxiao.
How long had he met Lou Yue? His expression was vivid.
Ji Liao held his backpack tightly.
The car has been modified to fit the building perfectly, with plenty of space and two-facing rear seats.
Ji Liao was preoccupied with his thoughts and was trying to divert his attention from Wen Qiu when his eyes fell on the building.
The thin alpha gave him a faint smile.
Ji Liao didn't understand what was going on and smiled back.
*
In the original novel, the villain finally goes crazy on the eve of the wedding.
Because protagonist O's adoptive parents wanted to store more serum before the wedding, they took a lot of blood from protagonist O, regardless of the risk. This caused protagonist O to be extremely weak, but she had to force herself to accompany protagonist A to receive guests.
The villain was dissatisfied with this and warned the protagonist A to let O rest, but was rejected. Seeing O's appearance, the villain decided not to bear it anymore and wanted to take O away. O fainted during the struggle, but A still did not allow them to leave. In a rage, the villain told the protagonist A that O had been sucked blood.
A was shocked but still refused to let go. The villain was furious and his susceptible period broke out. The two A's fought, and the villain was defeated and forcibly isolated.
Ji Liao looked through the memo on his phone and recalled the plot.
Lou Yue was adopted by the Lou family because of his special Omega physique, which happened to be able to alleviate Lou Yu's illness.
So he was taken to the Lou family since he was a child to serve as Lou Yu's blood bag, but it was announced to the outside world that he was an adopted son.
The original book did not specify what the disease was, and Ji Liao did not know either.
But looking at the building, it does look sickly.
Ji Liao had already thought it through before coming.
If the original plot really happened, he would give Wen Qiu an injection of inhibitor.
I don’t know what’s going on in the original novel, but every time an inhibitor is needed to solve a problem, there is no mention of this thing.
He went to the pharmacy specifically to ask, and was told that the inhibitors were OTC and could be purchased on his own.
The susceptible period of alpha can also be alleviated with inhibitors and generally does not cause problems.
So Ji Liao has never left his backpack since he arrived on the island.
*
As soon as dinner time arrived, Ji Liao and Wen Qiu left the hotel and went straight to the restaurant.
This meal was also part of the reception, so there were not only the Lou family, but also the Meng family and other guests, dozens of people in total.
They used a huge banquet hall.
This was the second time that Ji Liao and Wen Qiu attended a social occasion. Although it was not as formal as the last time, everyone was still well-dressed and there were many elegant people everywhere.
There was even someone I didn’t see last time - Wen Qiu’s alpha grandmother, Wen Lanjun.
Ji Liao and Wen Lanjun's eyes met across the crowd, and Wen Lanjun actually smiled and nodded at Ji Liao familiarly.
Ji Liao: “?”
Lou Yue came forward, this time he was not pushing Lou Yu, and Meng Shuyi followed behind him.
"Brother Qiu, Ji Liao." Lou Yue was wearing casual clothes, with her slightly long hair tied in a bun at the back of her head.
The big star still looks beautiful in her daily outfit.
In comparison, Ji Liao seemed more like he was here on vacation.
He still had the same hairstyle as in his school days, which did not cover his eyebrows in front, his ears on the sides, or his neck in the back.
Before Ji Liao could respond, Wen Qiu frowned slightly:
"You don't look well."
Ji Liao: “…”
Or the childhood sweetheart has sharp eyes.
Only then did he notice that although they were on a tropical island, everyone was dressed coolly except Lou Yue, who was wearing long sleeves.
And Lou Yue put on makeup and lipstick.
Subconsciously touching his sleeves, Lou Yue smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Does Ji Liao have any dietary restrictions? There's a lot of seafood here, I wonder if it suits your taste?"
Change the subject.
Ji Liao pursed his lips.
Meng Shuyi had a stern face and obviously did not have a good impression of Wen Qiu.
The two A's looked down on each other, but because they shared the same Omega, they forced themselves to greet each other.
"Go find something to eat." Wen Qiu turned his head and said to Ji Liao.
Then he said to Lou Yue, "Xiao Yue, I need to talk to you alone."
"Now?" Lou Yue showed a reluctant expression, "Uncle Lu will be here soon, why don't you wait for them?"
Wen Qiu's tone left no room for doubt: "Now."
After saying that, he walked away.
Since Ji Liao had been assigned a "task", of course he couldn't follow and could only stay where he was.
Meng Shuyi also expressed his dissatisfaction and grabbed Lou Yue's arm.
Ji Liao hissed in his heart.
This time, he must have pressed on Lou Yue's wound.
However, Lou Yue remained calm and patted the back of Meng Shuyi's hand soothingly: "I'll be back soon, please help me take care of Ji Liao."
Ji Liao wanted to say that he didn't need care, but Meng Shuyi had already given up, and Lou Yue and Wen Qiu were gone.
Meng Shuyi stared at Lou Yue's back. After the other party walked away, he turned and looked at Ji Liao.
His tall body still gave off an oppressive vibe, and his face, which looked like it might go mad at any moment, was scary at first glance.
Ji Liao immediately stated: "Mr. Meng, you are busy, I can handle it alone!"
As he spoke, he tried his best to smile.
Meng Shuyi acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to talk to himself, "I'll take you to eat."
Then he turned and left.
Ji Liaoda was speechless.
I can only bite the bullet and keep up.
*
It’s called a dinner, but it’s more like a party.
People were drinking and socializing in groups of three or four, and no one sat down to eat seriously.
The food is also served buffet style.
But Ji Liao was really hungry.
I don’t understand why rich people don’t eat. Anyway, Ji Liao took a plate and picked out pizza, pasta, and cakes, specifically the ones that were high in calories.
Meng Shuyi didn't seem to expect that someone would actually eat this. He was worried and kept looking in the direction where Lou Yue disappeared. When he saw Ji Liao's actions, he couldn't help but said:
“This place is famous for its caviar.”
"Thank you, I was just about to try it." Ji Liao took another plate and picked up seafood, lobster, caviar, and accepted everything.
Meng Shuyi:?
Ji Liao has no interest in socializing, so naturally he has no baggage.
After picking up two full plates of food, he found a table, sat down, and started eating.
Seeing this, Meng Shuyi stopped a passing waiter and said, "Give me a glass of juice, a large one."
"Thank you." Ji Liao smiled brightly and continued to show off.
Meng Shuyi didn't say anything. When the waiter brought the juice, he raised his hand to look at his watch.
Ji Liao remembered the original novel. The two A's fought the night before the wedding, which was still a few days away, so he was not in a hurry to find Wen Qiu.
But looking at Meng Shuyi's expression, he also seemed uneasy.
"Mr. Meng," he said, "I still need to eat for a long time. You can go and do your work. You don't need to accompany me."
"Um."
Meng Shuyi agreed, but did not move.
Ji Liao didn't want to eat under Meng Shuyi's gaze that looked like a prisoner, so he continued to persuade him:
"Are you worried about Mr. Lou? Why don't you go and check it out?"
I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, I'm not trying to go against you. After all, she is the main couple and we need to get along better.
After a moment of silence, Meng Shuyi stood up.
"I've neglected you."
Ji Liao was about to say "No", when Meng Shuyi stopped a passing waiter and pointed at Ji Liao and said:
"From now on, you will only serve this gentleman."
Ji Liao: “…”
*
The banquet hall is connected to a large sandy beach.
Because everyone was busy socializing, few people went to the beach to enjoy the breeze.
So Wen Qiu walked to the edge of the waves.
The sea water hit the fine sand again and again, and Wen Qiu's toes just stopped in front of the wet water line.
The sea breeze blew their hair as Lou Yue and Wen Qiu stood side by side.
After standing there for a while, before Wen Qiu could even think of what to say, Lou Yue took the initiative:
"Brother Qiu, don't persuade me anymore. I must get married."
This conversation happened once, and Wen Qiu felt like it was a lifetime ago.
I wanted to do as I did last time, say everything I needed to say, and then leave as if my mission was accomplished.
But when he heard Lou Yue's firm tone, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Yue."
He turned to face Lou Yue, adjusted his glasses, and asked:
"Do you have to work for them?"
He still couldn't accept that the Lou family treated Lou Yue so badly, and Lou Yue repaid them with kindness.
So stupid.
Lou Yue smiled gently, just as she remembered.
"Brother Qiu, you don't understand."
He seemed to recall some beautiful memories and patiently repeated the reasons countless times:
"If it weren't for them, I would just be an unwanted omega in an orphanage. It was they who brought me home, gave me a life of luxury, and allowed me to sing without restraint. The stage is my life, and my life is given by them."
"But they only want your blood."
Wen Qiu ruthlessly exposed it.
He has also been exposed countless times.
Lou Yue continued walking forward, shaking his head and saying, "Their purpose is real, and the comfortable life they provide me is also real. Brother Qiu, just think of it as me repaying a favor."
"Yeah."
Wen Qiu sneered, suddenly grabbed Lou Yue's arm and rolled up Lou Yue's sleeves!
"hiss!"
Lou Yue's wound was touched unexpectedly and she shuddered in pain.
He never pretended in front of Wen Qiu.
He can feel pain.
Due to his physical condition, Lou Yue would get bruises every time the needle hole was used to draw blood.
This time, due to equipment problems, the bruises were more extensive, and the blue was interspersed with purple, which was frightening to see.
Wen Qiu knows it all.
But he still frowned.
"They're gonna drain you dry."
"I'm fine."
Lou Yue tried to pull his arm back.
Wen Qiu didn't let it go and continued to ask: "Your stage is gone too, isn't it?"
Lou Yue didn't answer, but just wanted to get his arm back.
During the tug of war, Meng Shuyi's voice rang out:
"Let him go!"
Wen Qiu: “…”
Ah, here it comes.
The second before Meng Shuyi came up to him, Wen Qiu let go.
Lou Yue hurriedly covered the needle hole with his sleeve.
Meng Shuyi protected Lou Yue behind him and looked at Wen Qiu with a bad face:
"Wen Qiu, I don't care what you're up to. Lou Yue and I are getting married, so please stop harassing him!"
Wen Qiu sneered.
Knowing the plot doesn't mean he has changed his opinion of Meng Shuyi.
Lou Yue is a family member, but Meng Shuyi is not.
Never.
But what is going to happen will happen.
Wen Qiu said coldly: "Why do you order me around? You married him, but you can't protect him at all!"
"What do you mean?" Meng Shuyi has been sick since he was a child, and he is as sensitive as he should be.
He immediately caught what Wen Qiu meant, and Lou Yue suddenly grabbed his arm and wanted to take him away.
Lou Yue desperately shook her head at Wen Qiu, but Wen Qiu ignored her and continued:
"Do you know that the Lou family is using Lou Yue as a victim? Do you know that Lou Yue's favorite stage is gone because of your family's coercion? You know nothing and can only shout here."
Meng Shuyi was struck by lightning.
"Wen Qiu!" Lou Yue shouted angrily.
Before Meng Shuyi could react, Lou Yue's body softened.
"Xiao Yue!" Meng Shuyi was tall and caught Lou Yue in time.
Lou Yue fainted.
Although Wen Qiu was also concerned, he had to continue:
"Do you know why he fainted? He was taken away by the Lou family to have his blood drawn. Because they were going to marry you, they were afraid that having blood drawn would be troublesome later, so they wanted to draw more blood before the wedding."
"Why?" Meng Shuyi only then realized that Lou Yue's body temperature was high. He immediately picked Lou Yue up and prepared to find a doctor.
"Because Lou Yu's life needs Lou Yue to continue."
Wen Qiu stood still, watching Meng Shuyi carry Lou Yue away, and sparing no effort, he shouted loudly: "Protect him! Don't let him get hurt again, don't let him leave the stage!"
Meng Shuyi walked hurriedly, kicking up clumps of fine sand.
He didn't answer, but Wen Qiu knew he heard it.
Knowing that Lou Yue would be fine, Wen Qiu was not too worried.
As I watched Meng Shuyi go away, the lights of the banquet hall came into view again.
The conflicts and susceptible periods from the previous life should not come back.
Wen Qiu felt relieved for a moment.
As he relaxed, he also saw Ji Liao standing near the glass door.
And the building next to Ji Liao, sitting in a wheelchair.
I don’t know what the two were talking about, but I saw Lou Yu suddenly raised his hand and held Ji Liao’s wrist.
"?"
With a "buzz", Wen Qiu felt boundless anger in his heart.
This is not normal.
*
Ji Liao certainly doesn't need any service.
After Meng Shuyi left, he sent the waiter away.
To others, Ji Liao is not a “social” person.
So he ate a full meal in peace and quiet.
After dinner, he strolled along the edge of the banquet hall.
Sometimes it would catch the attention of the Lu family or Wen Lanjun.
He doesn't care.
Finally, I saw Wen Qiu's figure in the distance in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass door. Meng Shuyi had indeed gone to look for them, and several people were talking.
Still wondering what they were talking about, Lou Yue fell limply into Meng Shuyi's arms.
What's going on?
Ji Liao was wondering if the plot had changed again when someone beside him suddenly spoke:
"What are you looking at?"
Ji Liao was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was a building.
He was still dressed in that sickly manner, but his face was actually a little rosy.
"Nothing." Ji Liao said.
Ji Liao didn't like his brother Lou Yue when he read the novel.
I can’t tell the reason, but I just feel that Lou Yu’s silent observation of Lou Yue’s behavior is like that of a cold-blooded animal.
Lou Yu did not leave because of Ji Liao's perfunctory attitude.
Instead, I'm in the mood for chatting:
"Who are you worried about? Xiaoyue or Wen Qiu?"
Ji Liao felt scared and unconsciously moved a few steps to the side, away from the building.
"I don't worry about anyone."
He said.
The banquet hall seemed like a huge dark room.
Although it was bustling with activity, no one passed by them, as if there was an invisible barrier.
Lou Yu turned his wheelchair relentlessly and approached Ji Liao again.
"You look like Xiaoyue." He got straight to the point: "How much did Wen Qiu give you?"
Ji Liao realized that he couldn't escape, so he just continued to perfunctorily:
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You really don't know?" Lou Yu smiled and said, "No matter how much he gives you, I'll pay double."
"ah?"
Ji Liao was surprised. At this moment, he saw Meng Shuyi holding Lou Yue and walking towards him.
Wen Qiu also looked in his direction.
Just as he was about to open the door, Louyu grabbed his wrist.
Lou Yu's hand was very cold, so cold that Ji Liao shuddered.
"Mr. Lou?" Ji Liao was very dissatisfied. If it was a complete stranger, Lou's behavior would be considered harassment and he could call the police.
"Think about it. You're a beta, so you won't suffer any loss." Lou Yu looked up and smiled at Ji Liao.
"No need." Ji Liao was afraid of being seen by Wen Qiu, so he struggled to free his wrist.
When I looked at the beach again, Wen Qiu was kneeling on one knee with his hands covering his chest, looking very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Wen!" Ji Liao was startled. He ignored Lou Yue and opened the door and ran out.
He passed by Meng Shuyi and Lou Yue without even having time to say hello.
Fine sand was blown up in balls, and Ji Liao came to Wen Qiu at the fastest speed.
"Mr. Wen, what's wrong with you?"
He rushed over and tried to support Wen Qiu.
Wen Qiuze suddenly grabbed Ji Liao.
"You, what are you doing with Lou Yu?" Wen Qiu said with gritted teeth, as if he could no longer bear it.
Ji Liao felt even more guilty, but how could he explain that the building wanted to "buy" him?
"I don't know what he's going to do." He tried to fool around and changed the subject: "Mr. Wen, how are you? You look very uncomfortable. Is there an ambulance here?"
Although there was not enough light at the beach, Ji Liao could still see cold sweat on Wen Qiu's forehead with the help of the light from the building.
Moreover, Wen Qiu's body temperature was abnormally high.
The skin that was held by Wen Qiu seemed to be burning.
Wen Qiu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the unusual emotions in his heart.
Ji Liao was ignorant, but he knew it.
His susceptible period has arrived.
