"I'm sorry, I'll try my best..."
"Relax, it's okay."
The omega's body went limp, unable to grasp anything, and the necklace slipped from his hand and disappeared without a trace.
Liang Dongmo had excellent eyesight in the dark and saw the person pick up the item and return it to its owner. "Why didn't you wear it after buying it? Don't you like it?"
dislike.
I don't want to wear it.
How could Jiang Yujin dare to say such a thing now? Who knows how the woman would treat him if he did?
"I forgot, I'll remember next time."
The woman received an answer, withdrew, and the necklace was put back around his neck.
"It looks great, once you put it on, don't take it off."
"Are you hungry, Ajin?"
Suddenly, Liang Dongmo, now lucid, had a change of heart and brought over a plate of sliced and peeled apples. "There are apples in the fridge. Have some to tide you over."
"How dare you touch other people's things like that!" Jiang Yujin came back from the bathroom with wet hair, eating something in his mouth, and glared at her.
"It's Christmas Eve, it's okay, have an apple and have a peaceful night." Liang Dongmo was in control on the bed, and except when he changed his expression, he couldn't do anything to Jiang Yujin.
"Don't you want to hear my explanation, Ajin? I've missed you so much lately..."
Liang Dongmo's voice overlapped with a dream he had not long ago, and Jiang Yujin couldn't help but think of Jiang Mo.
Liang Dongmo smiled. After all this time, his temperament was still clearly on display. He was easy to coax and could be fooled with a few sweet words.
“Ajin didn’t refuse to help me, and he still has a place for me in his heart. I’m very happy…”
I won't listen.
He comes when summoned and leaves when dismissed—who does Liang Dongmo think he is?!
Jiang Yujin lost interest in her explanation. He hadn't realized it before because Liang Dongmo hadn't shown him that other side of herself, and he was still young and immersed in the ambiguous romantic atmosphere she created. In comparison, Jiang Mo was at least someone who dared to treat him with her true self.
"When are you leaving? Jiang Mo is coming back soon." Jiang Yujin opened his phone and found that Jiang Mo hadn't sent him a single message in the past few days. The more he looked at Liang Dongmo, the more displeased he became. After turning on the light, he immediately put on that ugly pig-head mask, as if afraid that others would see it.
"You're kicking me out right after my sensitive period is over, how heartless of you." Liang Dongmo stood by the bed, trying to dry his hair, but pretended to be weak when he heard that he was being asked to leave.
I can blow-dry my own hair.
Omega rejected her kindness and ordered her around, "Clean up the living room outside, and this room too."
After saying this, Jiang Yujin recalled some fragmented memories, and whether out of embarrassment or anger, her ears turned bright red.
The threat, devoid of any real intimidation, was: "If you're found out, you'll never see me again!"
Liang Dongmo placed the hair dryer in his hand, mischievously kissed his bright red ear, and went out to work satisfied.
Early Christmas morning, Liang Dongmo was kicked out of the house because he was afraid Jiang Mo would suddenly come back.
Standing outside the door, Liang Dongmo said in a wronged tone, "Ajin, can I say goodbye to my sister before I leave?"
Jiang Mo kept a very strict eye on him.
"No, I haven't called the police to arrest you for breaking into my house in the middle of the night, and we've already broken up!"
You shouldn't scare him like that, even if he's your ex-girlfriend.
Besides, two S-class alphas, they'll probably fight...
Alphas have a strong sense of territory and a keen sense of smell.
Jiang Yujin imagined the scene and quickly closed the door to take a shower to wash away the scent of the other person's pheromones.
The smell on my body had faded, so I put on a turtleneck sweater to cover up the marks and sat on the sofa playing on my phone.
In the afternoon, he tentatively sent Jiang Mo a message asking when she would be back.
Jiang Mo asked him if he wanted any Christmas presents.
Jiang Yujin said he wasn't a child anymore and didn't need any Christmas presents, but a faint hope had arisen in his heart. It wouldn't be impossible for Jiang Mo to give him that crystal ball.
Jiang Mo didn't reply again, but called back half an hour later. He sounded suspicious on the phone, "How many practice tests have you done these past few days?"
Jiang Yujin was unusually silent. He hadn't been eating properly these past few days, let alone doing any tests; he'd just been wasting his time.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"I made one," Jiang Yujin said. He could make up another one in time, as Jiang Mo wouldn't be home until at least tonight.
"Okay, I'll be back tonight to check." The woman on the other end of the phone chuckled. She would be home in another hour; she wondered if Jiang Yujin had finished yet.
The bag on the passenger side contained the Christmas presents Jiang Yujin wanted.
His thoughts are too easy to understand.
If you want it, you want it; if you don't want it, you want it.
-
When she got home, Jiang Yujin was gone, and the front door was wide open.
"Aren't you afraid of thieves coming in and stealing things..." Jiang Mo put the things on the coffee table so that no matter when Jiang Yujin came back, she could see the gifts she bought at a glance.
Before she could see Jiang Yujin, his unfinished exam paper came into view first; he had answered more than ten questions but got ten wrong.
Jiang Mo, who had been waiting for a long time without seeing anyone return, was left wondering: "Where did they go?"
The red dot on her phone told her that Jiang Yujin was at a pet clinic.
At 11 p.m., Jiang Yujin furtively opened the door with his fingerprint, carrying a wad of something that was moving around in his arms. The lights were off, and just as he was relieved that Jiang Mo hadn't come back, he turned on the lights and saw a figure sitting in front of the test paper he hadn't finished.
"You're back so late and haven't finished a single test paper? Come here, what's that in your arms? Jiang Yujin?"
Jiang Mo pulled open his coat and saw a thin, gray cat.
"It's filthy, put it down..." Jiang Mo was afraid of cats, and she couldn't keep her original expression. She disgustedly wiped the hand that had touched the coat with a wet wipe.
Stray cats carry germs, and most of these unwanted cats are sick.
When she was a child, her family had a black cat. Later, she went out with her adoptive parents and got into a car accident. Her adoptive parents and the cat died in the accident. Jiang Mo, who survived, would feel panicked and her hands would tremble whenever she saw the cat.
Jiang Yujin was unwilling to give up. The vet at the clinic said that the Maine Coon cat did not have any hidden diseases and was only a few months old, so it was probably abandoned by its mother.
"Jiang Mo, this kitten is unwanted just like me. Can I keep it?"
"It's not dirty. I took it to the clinic to get it cleaned and vaccinated. The doctor said it's a Maine Coon. It's so small, I'll take good care of it."
"You can't take good care of it. Just one night. Take it away tomorrow."
Jiang Mo was adamant: cats don't live as long as humans, they get all sorts of illnesses, and Jiang Yujin would be heartbroken if they died, so it's better not to keep one.
"What will happen to it? Will it continue to wander the streets? I don't know anyone who can take it in..."
Jiang Yujin's temper has visibly improved. This time, he is seriously considering Jiang Mo's feelings. Few of the people he knows are reliable, and he is worried about letting them support him. He wants to discuss it with Jiang Mo again and beg him to see if there is any way to salvage the situation.
"You can't even take care of yourself, yet you want to have the kindness to take care of a half-dead cat?" Jiang Mo always hit the nail on the head.
"Jiang Mo, do you hate cats?"
Jiang Mo found a cardboard box for Jiang Yujin to put the cat in, while he himself moved away, saying, "Jiang Yujin, someone wants you. You're not like a cat."
Jiang Yujin didn't answer; his attention was entirely on the cat. "Christmas, are you hungry?"
"You even gave it a name?" Jiang Mo didn't understand the meaning of him naming the stray cat. When it gets to a new home and has a new owner, it will definitely have a new name. When this stray cat, which Jiang Yujin kindly picked up, lives with its new owner, it will forget about him in a few months.
Jiang Yujin heard this: "Yes, I found it today, so I call it Christmas."
At the clinic, Jiang Yujin named the gray cat Christmas, since he found it on Christmas Day.
He was doing a test at home when he noticed the trash can in the living room was full. On a whim, he took the elevator downstairs to empty the trash can.
I encountered an unwanted cat in the bushes not far from the community's trash cans.
Fragile lives always evoke pity, so Jiang Yujin went upstairs to grab her phone and wallet, then grabbed the cat and rushed to the nearest veterinary clinic.
He was in poor health when he was a child, so there were no pets in the house, and he was never allowed to keep one.
Jiang Yujin compromised; there was nothing Jiang Mo could do if he disagreed.
"I'm sorry, Christmas, I can't take care of you anymore."
"I will contact a pet store to temporarily board the pet there, and I will send it back to the pet store when someone wants to take it."
“Hmm,” the omega said, reluctant to part with the kitten. The gray kitten had been a stray and malnourished for a long time, and its appearance was not that cute, but Jiang Yujin liked it.
Jiang Mo could tell that he really wanted to raise her, but she couldn't agree to it both psychologically and physiologically.
"The Christmas presents are on the coffee table. You can only take them out to look at them after you have washed your hands."
Jiang Mo returned to the company and was exhausted after finishing up the things he had missed over the past few days.
She claimed to be on a business trip, but upon her return, several senior executives in the company were unhappy with her absence, and the Jiang brothers preemptively made decisions at several important meetings.
"knew."
Jiang Yujin glanced at it, a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes, and opened the Vacheron Constantin box. It was an exquisite and expensive watch; he should have liked it.
...
Before going to bed, Jiang Yujin laid a piece of clothing in the box to keep the cat warm. The room was heated, so the cat wouldn't get cold in the living room.
"If you don't go to sleep, finish the rest of the test paper."
Jiang Mo urged him to go to sleep, but he slowed down as he thought about parting ways with this new friend at dawn, constantly looking back at him.
I dawdled and climbed into bed to check if there were any provisions in the animal protection law that would allow Christmas to stay.
Dejected after failing to achieve anything, Jiang Yujin fell into a deep sleep late into the night.
The next day, when the pet store staff came to pick up Christmas, Jiang Yujin, who hadn't slept well and had dark circles under her eyes, clung to the cardboard box containing the cat and wouldn't let go.
"Jiang Mo, is it really not possible?" Jiang Yujin's unconsciously pitiful expression had no effect on her at all.
"Go take a shower and catch up on your sleep. After you wake up, do the test paper. Don't think about anything else."
Jiang Mo was getting ready to go to work and didn't have time to waste with him here.
"I'll come back this afternoon to wake you up."
Another exam paper to write.
Jiang Yujin reluctantly saw Jiang Mo off as he went to work, and also for Christmas.
