033
The plane landed at 3 a.m. Jiang Yujin finally composed himself. In order not to let anyone notice anything amiss, he told Jiang Rongzhou that he would arrive in the capital the next day.
If you arrive a day early, you can go find Liang Dongmo to return the money.
Stepping out of the airport, a biting cold wind blew in. The climate in the south is warm and humid, and the temperature dropped suddenly. He didn't react to the sudden change for a moment, and even when he hunched his neck, he was still cold.
Jiang Yujin's journey back alone took a considerable amount of time, but thankfully a kind aunt on the way gave him directions and offered her concerned inquiries.
Jiang Mo's kiss before he left disrupted all his thoughts.
Jiang Yujin had gone to great lengths to accept Jiang Mo as her older sister and include her in the family, but she never expected Jiang Mo to harbor such wicked intentions, treating her like this without even asking. While Jiang Yujin outwardly treated her this way, she dared not dwell on the details behind her back.
He didn't even bother to pretend. As soon as he was about to leave, he revealed his true colors. Like a venomous snake lurking around its prey, Jiang Mo was probably feeling guilty. After being slapped, he immediately let him go.
Jiang Yujin took a taxi to the apartment building. The cold wind, mixed with raindrops, blew onto his face. The nausea from motion sickness, combined with the cold, made his face turn pale instantly.
That's terrible.
Both the weather and people.
He thought.
Is Liang Dongmo home? She said she would wait here.
The few steps of stairs led him to the guesthouse where he had stayed for half a month, just like before.
Jiang Yujin held onto hope; perhaps, the apartment's owner, the alpha behind the door, would open it and grant him all his requests as soon as he knocked.
After the breakup, their relationship remained ambiguous. Compared to Jiang Mo, Liang Dongmo, despite his occasional cold violence, seemed to make him feel more at ease, as if she were always waiting for him in the same place.
Jiang Yujin knocked on the door for several minutes but no one answered. He put his suitcase aside and planned to wait for Liang Dongmo to return.
Has he gone out? Then let him wait a while.
Jiang Yujin thought it over on the plane and decided to go back to Liang Dongmo's place first. He had lost the key to Jiang Mo's house before boarding the plane, so he gave up on the idea, blocked the number and account, and stopped contacting him.
I'll pick up my luggage when I have time.
The young omega was squatting in the corridor, the door behind him tightly closed. Whether it was because he had been squatting for too long or because he had some kind of illness, his stomach churned, and he felt like vomiting but couldn't.
Jiang Yujin slowly stood up because his legs were numb and his blood wasn't flowing properly. He couldn't help but complain about Liang Dongmo, who hadn't gone home yet at this hour, probably out gallivanting somewhere.
When Liang Dongmo returns, he will transfer the money to his elder brother, and then stay with Liang Dongmo until the end of the year before leaving.
Jiang Yujin took out a few hand warmers from his suitcase, peeled them off, and stuck them on. His cold hands warmed up, and he felt much better.
At six o'clock in the morning, a figure he knew all too well appeared in the stairwell.
He had taken an hour by car to get here, and waited for almost two hours on an empty stomach.
Liang Dongmo was even colder than him, and Jiang Yujin shivered when he hugged him.
He ran out of hand warmers, so he put the still-warm hand warmer from his arms into the alpha's hand.
"Liang Dongmo, didn't you say you'd wait for me here? I've been knocking on the door for half an hour, where have you been? It's so cold outside."
It was too cold, there was no heating. The omega sniffed and watched as the alpha opened the door without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Are you blaming me for not coming to see you for so long? Liang Dongmo? Say something!"
Immediately afterwards, the woman wearing a pig's head mask blocked Jiang Yujin from entering, refusing him entry without uttering a word, and closed the door.
Jiang Yujin paused for a moment, then pounded on the door of the guesthouse, extremely anxious.
What happened? Why are you suddenly treating him like this? Why aren't you saying anything?
"Liang Dongmo, open the door! It's so cold outside. I've been waiting for you for so long, and you come back and then shut the door on me? What do you mean by that?"
"If you don't open the door, I'm leaving..."
The weather was getting colder and colder. Jiang Yujin had never suffered such humiliation before. He would rather stay at home than go out and freeze in this terrible weather.
Jiang Yujin weakly pounded on the tightly closed door, his voice hoarse from shouting.
"Jiang Yujin, wake up."
A cold hand touched his forehead. In his dazed state, Jiang Yujin thought that Jiang Mo had changed his mind and come after him. He wanted to scold him, but instead he got up and fell into the other's arms.
Liang Dongmo sighed silently.
She followed Jiang Yujin from a distance.
Seeing his distress at not being able to find his way, Liang Dongmo restrained her urge to approach him and instead spent some money to find someone else to tell him the way.
She witnessed Jiang Yujin secretly shedding tears as she boarded the plane.
Liang Dongmo waited until he stopped crying and fell asleep, then switched places with the person next to him.
The omega fell asleep, his head resting unconsciously on her shoulder. To avoid waking him, the alpha maintained that position the entire time, until the plane was about to land, when he quietly switched positions with the passenger next to him.
She and Jiang Yujin took the same plane back to the capital.
He hailed a taxi and followed Jiang Yujin's taxi to the apartment building. There, Liang Dongmo learned why Jiang Yujin had come to see him.
She had already preemptively cut off the Jiang family's backup plan.
The disheartened wife was no longer willing to help her ex-husband who had caused the family to fall apart.
Fate is always full of ups and downs and drama.
The script that Liang Dongmo had been arranging for so long is finally about to officially begin.
She stood in the shadows at the corner of the stairwell, watching the actress who played Little Red Riding Hood huddled pitifully at her doorstep.
Are they waiting for her to come back? It seems they've taken her words to heart.
Everything was as she had anticipated.
Liang Dongmo deliberately waited an extra hour, until the omega clumsily applied the heat pack and struggled to fall asleep, before going to wake him.
But as soon as she touched Jiang Yujin, she heard him call out Jiang Mo's name in a muffled voice.
He called out indistinctly, yet he desperately tried to burrow into her arms.
"Ajin, wake up, who am I?"
Liang Dongmo insisted on waking him up, not wanting to give him any extra rest time. She liked to cause trouble for the Jiang family, and she was determined to exhaust his energy.
Jiang Yujin opened his eyes to find himself facing the culprit who had woken him up.
"Liang Dongmo, you finally opened the door. Why did you lock me out earlier? I didn't do anything wrong!" Jiang Yujin had nowhere to vent her grievances, so she slapped Liang Dongmo. "What time is it now? I've been waiting outside for at least eight hours. I've calculated it..." The mask was digging into her hand, so she didn't know if the slap had actually landed on her face.
Liang Dongmo was unaware that he had a dream in which Liang Dongmo locked him out to fend for himself, and simply assumed that he was confused in his sleep.
“It’s five in the morning. I just got back and saw you sleeping at my doorstep.”
"I can't wake you up no matter what I do. You keep calling your sister's name. You like her a lot? You keep calling her name in your dreams?"
"You lied to me, I clearly waited for you for a long time," Jiang Yujin smelled the pheromones on her body, and Jiang Mo's face inexplicably appeared in his mind. "I'm so cold, Liang Dongmo, hug me, the hand warmer isn't working, I'm really so cold..."
Since Jiang Yujin said so, Liang Dongmo naturally let him hold on tightly, and tenderly took his frostbitten red hands to warm them.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Ajin. Is there something you need from me, Ajin?"
Liang Dongmo's pheromones were like catnip to him. After Jiang Yujin had inhaled and rubbed against them enough, he slowly spoke up: "Can you pay me back the money I lent you before? Something happened at home, and I really need that money, so..." As he spoke, he remembered the content of his dream and suddenly felt a little scared.
He took the initiative to ask Liang Dongmo to return that large sum of money. Would Liang Dongmo leave him because of this?
Liang Dongmo's restless hand moved up along the back of his sweater, touching the glands on the back of his neck.
It's too cold.
Jiang Yujin endured without making a sound; the rustling of their clothes was particularly noticeable in the darkness. This close proximity clearly indicated the intimate relationship between lovers.
"Ajin, I need time. Trust me, I'll pay you back by the end of next year." The woman's voice was melodious and pleasant, and Jiang Yujin's body tensed up upon hearing it.
What to do? Liang Dongmo needs time to repay the debt. His family's company urgently needs that money, and he has already discussed it with his older brother.
"No..." Jiang Yujin was half-undressed and lay flat on the sofa. A sudden cramp in his abdomen forced him to resist.
Seeing Jiang Yujin clutching her stomach in pain, Liang Dongmo stopped what he was doing. "Why not? Have you fallen for someone else? Or are you angry because I can't pay you back right now?"
Jiang Yujin paused for a full five minutes before answering her, "No, Liang Dongmo, I have other things to do. I just don't want to waste time. If you can't pay me back for now, then forget it. I'll think of another way."
He lent the money to Liang Dongmo on his own initiative, and he didn't even know the exact amount. He should have been prepared beforehand that Liang Dongmo wouldn't be able to repay it.
When Liang Dongmo is being unreasonable, he can be quite domineering. After they've been together for a long time, Jiang Yujin has discovered that their personalities are quite similar.
"Is being with me a waste of time?" Liang Dongmo began to complain, his face bearing the symmetrical handprints on the back of his mask.
Why should she? She is Liang Dongmo now, not Jiang Mo who was far away in Fengtian Town and dared not come back with him. She deliberately made Jiang Yujin wait for an extra hour just to repay him for biting his tongue and that slap.
Jiang Yujin kept saying it was a waste of time. Jiang Mo couldn't do it because of his identity, so why couldn't Liang Dongmo be intimate with Jiang Yujin?
Liang Dongmo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to calm himself down. He put his arm around Jiang Yujin's waist and said, "Ajin, I love you. You can't neglect me. I cherish every moment I spend with you. I hope you can cherish and spend the same amount of time with me."
“What my biological parents couldn’t give me, I hope you can give me. I don’t want their concern, I just want you. Ajin, stay by my side and don’t leave. I will give you everything you want, no matter how much money it costs, I will earn it for you. Please don’t leave, it’s dangerous outside. It’s not suitable for greenhouse flowers to survive. I will get rid of the harmful insects for you.”
Jiang Yujin listened to her explanation, but unfortunately, he couldn't pass the reading comprehension test and only understood one sentence: "I love you."
"Sweet talk," he commented.
Liang Dongmo held him tightly, as if if she let go and let Jiang Yujin leave, she would turn on her and call her a liar if they met again.
She was indeed a smooth talker, saying things that were never repeated and she couldn't even remember them herself, deceiving Jiang Yujin into a doomed love affair with her.
A low-level omega, with a pheromone compatibility of over 90% with her, an S-rank alpha—a destined match.
Liang Dongmo couldn't refuse, so he took a nap on the sofa with the omega in his arms until dawn. Jiang Yujin set an alarm and said he was going to the hospital early in the morning.
The toothbrush left behind was replaced by a new one by Liang Dongmo. The same cup and toothbrush made them look more like a couple who had been living together for a long time.
"Liang Dongmo, I'll go by myself. You wait for me at home. I'll come back for breakfast."
Jiang Yujin changed into a lighter cotton-padded jacket, instructed Liang Dongmo to make breakfast, and then went out.
