Chapter 78: None of the Alphas are good people.
When Guan Ju returned to the bar, the mess had been cleaned up completely.
Wen Xu's friends and a few others, including Friend A, left first, leaving only Duan Ze and another person in the booth, drinking and talking.
"Oh, you're back," Duan Ze said casually as he saw Guan Ju sit down opposite him. He poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of him, asking, "You didn't beat him up, did you?"
Looking towards the dance floor, Wen Xu unconsciously pricked up her ears, clearly also curious about this question.
Guan Ju picked up the red wine and took a small sip.
"No."
Wen Xu's eyelids drooped, and he looked a little regretful.
Duan Ze saw right through the other man's thoughts, chuckled, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked his friend, "Why don't you beat Wen Song up to vent your anger?"
“There’s no need,” Guan Ju said.
“Physical injuries won’t teach him a lesson.”
Duan frowned: "So—"
Guan Ju lowered her eyelids and took another small sip of red wine.
Duan instantly understood what the other party wanted to do and couldn't help but speak up to advise, "This is not a good thing. After all, we have been friends for many years. If Uncle Guan finds out that you are targeting Zheng Rong, he will definitely not approve. If he investigates a little and finds out that you are doing this for Wen Song, I am afraid that something will go wrong."
"You might as well beat up Ah Zhuo."
"Maybe if he thinks more positively, you two can still be friends."
Guan Ju answered without hesitation: "We can't be friends."
Duan placed his wine glass on the table: "Why? I think Zhao Mingzhuo's feelings for Wen Song are probably possessive; he likely likes someone else..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Ju uttered two words: "It's me."
Duan was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding what the phrase "it is me" meant.
Wen Xu, who seemed not to have interrupted their conversation but had been paying close attention, exclaimed in shock, "Zhao Mingzhuo likes you? But aren't you both Alphas?"
Duan Ze: "........."
He was unable to process or recover from the news for a long time.
Like? Is that what he understands it to mean?
Zhao Mingzhuo likes Guan Ju?!
Is it possible that an Alpha who frequently dates Omegas is secretly in love with his Alpha friend?
"Are you telling the truth?" Duan asked, still in a daze.
Guan Ju frowned slightly, clearly not quite accepting of the matter, and responded with an "Mmm".
Duan really wanted to pinch his philtrum: "........."
After a long while, he turned his head to the side and muttered "Damn it."
"No swearing." Wen Xu reached out and patted the shoulder of the Alpha sitting next to him.
Duan immediately put his hands together in a gesture of begging for forgiveness: "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
It's really surprising, considering they've known each other for over a decade. Even though they don't hang out together often, their relationship is decent, and their elders frequently visit each other.
Unexpectedly—
Wen Xu shrugged: "I was surprised too."
"It's really hard to imagine that Zhao Mingzhuo would like an Alpha."
"And he's an Alpha who seems pretty bad in every way. Has his sense of aesthetics died out?"
Duan noticed that Guan Ju's expression had turned cold, and he suppressed a laugh, not daring to utter a sound.
On one side is his pet cat, and on the other is his good brother. No matter what he says, he will likely be targeted by both sides.
“If you ask me,” Wen Xu said indiscriminately, “there isn’t a single good Alpha among you.”
He tilted his chin up and looked at Guan Sui, "The only good thing about you and Zhao Mingzhuo is that you both fell for Wen Song."
Duan Ze weakly raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please see the truth! I am a good Alpha."
Wen Xu glanced at him and then looked away, thinking about the other person's usual carefree and irresponsible attitude, and that not a single word he said was sincere.
"You're the worst."
Duan clenched his fists and placed them on either side of his cheeks to make Wen Xu happy, saying, "How could that be, baby! I am your most loyal Alpha."
Guan Ju, after drinking, lifted his eyelids and said, "If you flirt again, all of you get out."
Wen Xu: "......."
Duan Ze: "......."
Wen Xu wished he could roll up his sleeves and punch Guan Sui.
Before he could even make a move, Duan Ze grabbed his arm, fanning him while muttering, "Calm down."
Guan Ju was drinking when he took out his phone and found that Wen Song had sent him a message half an hour earlier.
[Ode]: I'm off work.
[Ode]: It seems to be raining a bit outside.
[Song]: I took a taxi home today.
Each sentence was accompanied by a picture—the company's time clock, the soaked ground, and the scenery outside the car window.
The slight frustration in Guan Ju's heart gradually dissipated.
It has to be admitted.
Zhao Mingzhuo's comment that he didn't like it did make him a little uncomfortable.
But now, seeing Wen Song actively sharing his life and what he's doing, he gradually regains his rationality.
We must not let Zhao Mingzhuo's attempts to sow discord succeed.
Guan Ju replied to each message, and then sent another message at the end: 【Are you home yet?】
The other side replied almost instantly.
[Song]: We've arrived. Time to take a shower.
Suddenly, Guan Ju looked up from the screen at Duan Ze sitting opposite her and asked, "Do you still have the injection you gave me last time?"
Duan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "There's more."
Guan Ju said very quickly, "Give me another one."
Duan Ze: "Why would I carry it with me? It must be at home."
Guan Ju stood up, put her phone back in her pocket, and left without saying goodbye.
Duan guessed that this person intended to personally go to his home to collect the injection.
Seeing this, Wen Xu asked, "What kind of injection are you talking about? An alpha inhibitor? Or something else?"
"Well—" Duan Ze realized it was difficult to explain, so he said, "Is it for Alpha only?"
The injectable drugs they mentioned are rarely available on the market and need to be sourced from other channels. They are mainly used to stimulate Alpha pheromones and forcefully advance their susceptible period.
Last time, Guan Ju asked him what he had taken one of, and now he's suddenly in such a hurry to need it again. What does he plan to do with it?
