As for going upstairs, he closed the door of his room and turned on the light.

It is quiet all around. If you open the window, you may be able to hear the chirping of insects in the night wind and the rustling of treetops.

This should be the loneliness that Chen Ci is most accustomed to. He didn't know what loneliness was before, but now he always feels like there is something strange.

Chen Ci opened the closet. The clothes he had taken off yesterday were placed on the top shelf. He only needed to lower his head slightly to smell the amber wood scent emanating from them.

Fu Tianhe accidentally got it on his clothes. Chen Ci could still remember his flushed face and his frantic attempts to wipe it off. All the details were clearly remembered in his mind.

That indescribable feeling quickly disappeared.

Chen Ci breathed quietly for a few minutes and closed the closet again, otherwise the smell would soon dissipate completely.

He sat down on the bed, opened Chen Nian's terminal, and found the chat box with Fu Tianhe.

In the afternoon, Fu Tianhe sent a message saying that he had arrived at a safe place and told him not to worry.

Chen Ci: [What is the current situation? ]

Fu Tianhe: [Very good! ]

Alpha replied almost immediately, and Chen Ci could even imagine him holding the terminal, eagerly waiting for news from him.

Fu Tianhe: [Although what happened yesterday was scary, I can finally rest in peace -v-]

Fu Tianhe: [By the way, are you ready for video now? ]

Two seconds later, as if afraid that Chen Ci would refuse, Fu Tianhe sent another message.

【I miss you.】

Video?

Chen Ci looked around. The bedroom was very spacious and luxuriously decorated. If Fu Tianhe saw it, it might cause some misunderstanding. He found a relatively clean wall and moved the chair over to it, ensuring that the camera could only capture the wall in the video.

That should be all right.

Chen Ci: [Yes.]

When the video call invitation came, Chen Ci's finger hung in the air for two seconds, and finally he pressed the green acceptance button.

The picture appeared, and Chen Ci saw a square, slightly old room. Soon the camera reversed and Alpha's face appeared on the screen.

Fu Tianhe obviously has no experience in video calls, and the shooting angle is very tricky. Anyone would look a bit ugly if shot like this.

He held up the terminal with both hands, quickly adjusted the angle, and soon that silly smile appeared on his face again, because he saw Chen Ci's face in the picture.

The young man was somewhere unknown, with his back against a white wall. He was wearing a light-colored shirt, which made him look particularly white. The two of them had been crawling and rolling around during the journey, both wearing dark clothes. It was the first time that Fu Tianhe had seen September like this. Omega was also very suitable for light colors.

A good-looking person can be a work of art even if he or she is wearing a sack.

Suddenly the video was turned on, and Chen Ci didn't know what to say to him. He watched Fu Tianhe's camera shaking in silence.

Alpha finally found a suitable fixed position and freed his hands.

Fu Tianhe stared at the screen. He noticed that the boy looked a little pale, which was different from usual. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? He doesn't look well."

Chen Ci: "It's nothing. I didn't sleep well last night."

"Then you should go to bed early tonight." Fu Tianhe did not suspect anything. He paused and said softly, "Do you miss me?"

Fu Tianhe just asked casually. He didn't expect Jiuyue to give an answer. The boy probably didn't even know what missing someone meant.

Chen Ci remained silent and nodded quickly.

He just can't feel a lot of things, it's not like he has a problem with his brain. The definition of missing someone can completely apply to him.

He always wanted to look for Alpha around him, smell the pheromones he left behind, and agreed to have a video call with him.

"I didn't wash yesterday's clothes and put them in the closet." Chen Ci said calmly, "I just smelled the scent you left behind."

The smell left behind?

Now it was Fu Tianhe's turn to be at a loss.

Ah, yes, he accidentally left something behind, but...

What's the saying? Nature overcomes everything. Chen's words have gone beyond the scope of nature. His straight balls are hard for people to resist.

But Fu Tianhe knew that for September, he was just stating the facts.

Fu Tianhe smiled foolishly, raised his hand to scratch his hair, his face flushed, and whispered: "I miss you a lot, too."

He picked up the smart dog beside him and held it in front of the camera: "Look, this is your other master."

The smart dog looked around randomly, not paying any attention to what was happening on the screen in front of him. He was just a dog and didn't understand what was going on.

Fu Tianhe used his hand to straighten its head and pointed at the screen, saying, "It's here."

Chen Ci noticed the unusual environment over there: "Where are you now?"

Fu Tianhe was quite surprised: "Don't you know?"

Chen Ci: "I don't know. I asked my friend to find a place for you."

Fu Tianhe turned the camera and took a look around: "Guess?"

Chen Ci frowned slightly. Even though he didn't know much, he could tell from the extremely simple layout of the square room that it might not be a good place: "Youth hostel?"

"No, this place is much safer than a youth hostel." Fu Tianhe said with a brisk tone and a smile, "This is a detention center, didn't expect it?"

Chen Ci: ………………

Chen Ci understood, and he asked Shafulai to try his best to ensure Fu Tianhe's safety. Shafulai chose the safest and most secure method. The eldest prince did not disappoint.

"Don't worry, it's pretty good here." Fu Tianhe said, "I have food and drink, and I can sleep peacefully. Even if Donald has all the power, he can't catch me here."

“By the way, I had dinner here tonight, and it was quite good.” Fu Tianhe began to count what he had eaten by counting on his fingers and speaking in a low voice.

Chen Ci listened quietly. Such detailed chattering could actually make people feel at ease and not feel annoyed at all.

Fu Tianhe rubbed the smart dog's head: "Others have two people sharing a room, but I live in a single room. How good! I can even keep a dog."

Seeing him like this, Chen Ci felt relieved.

He asked about the reason why Fu Tianhe escaped: "Did Donald send his men to arrest him because we robbed him?"

Fu Tianhe: "That should be the case. I can't think of any other reason. We haven't offended anyone else in Cinnabar. Didn't I go to Lale's camp yesterday and meet Matchstick and the others? Lale said that after they recovered from their injuries, they went to find Mom with other camps. That guy will never cause us any trouble again."

Fu Tianhe did not mention that Donald's men also robbed the black clinic and took away all the gene correctors. Another reason that drove Donald to take action might be his artificial eye.

Fu Tianhe told Chen Ci about his thrilling escape yesterday. He described it vividly and even stood up and waved his hands when he was excited.

Of course, you should focus on describing how you bravely and courageously escaped from being surrounded by five or six people.

After hearing that Fu Tianhe rushed into a nightclub in the red-light district in order to shake off his pursuers, Chen Ci finally had some reaction.

"Where did you go in?"

Fu Tianhe: "A nightclub called Black Box, do you remember it? I passed by it in a nearby back alley. At that time, you were being pinned against the wall by a golden retriever. I jumped over and knocked him down."

The memory related to Chen Ci is a little vague. It was not him that Fu Tianhe met at that time. Chen Ci was only recounted by Chen Nian, so the impression is not clear enough.

The blond Alpha who blocked Chen Nian in the alley seemed to be the one who brought Chen Nian to the top floor. To be honest, I should thank him for allowing me and Chen Nian to meet.

Fu Tianhe continued, "Guess what, I went through the back door of the black box and heard someone say that Donald's men also went into the nightclub to search."

Chen Ci's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly, and then he raised his eyelids.

Fu Tianhe didn't seem to notice the slight change in Chen Ci's expression, and said, "They seemed to have mentioned a name, called... Chen Nian? I don't know if I heard it wrong, but they said that he got into trouble with Donald because he was hanging out with a rich man, and I don't know how the collector will deal with him."

"After hearing this, I know that the person being looked for is definitely not you. We were traveling the whole time, and our contact with Donald was limited to that robbery."

Chen Ci was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "What if that was really me?"

"It really doesn't matter." Fu Tianhe's chuckle reached Chen Ci's ears.

"Before, I was still upset that you refused to tell me your real name. Now I have a chance to know it, right? But now I understand that no matter what your previous identity was or what your past was, to me, you are just September, nothing more."

Chen Ci: "Do you mind that I might have been in a nightclub?"

Fu Tianhe: "It's not like he has to do anything illegal there, maybe he's just an ordinary waiter."

Alpha paused and asked tentatively: "So, you are——"

"No, I'm not. That's not me."

Chen Ci answered firmly, and even choked Fu Tianhe. He had already prepared to comfort the young man.

Chen Ci stared at him closely, trying to find any signs of lying on Fu Tianhe's face: "Does it matter what my identity is?"

"Yes." Alpha answered as a matter of course, "If you are a fugitive, we can flee to the ends of the earth together. If you are an ordinary citizen, we can live a plain life together. If you have a good family background, I will work harder to catch up with you.

"As long as you don't despise me for being incompetent and blind in one eye."

How could I possibly give up?

Chen Ci opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say. His language became poor at this moment. He was not a good talker.

The golden artificial eye temporarily gave Omega a topic to divert attention. He thought of the dream he had in the laboratory this morning, and his eyeball spurted out and rolled to the ground.

Then the tone of voice changed abruptly and stiffly: "How did your eyes become like this?"

Fu Tianhe tapped his artificial eye and said, "I seem to have mentioned it before, neuroblastoma. When it was discovered, the fundus was already full of cancer cells. There was no way to treat it. The only way was to remove the eyeball. Otherwise, when the cancer cells spread, both eyes would be blind, and whether I could survive was another matter."

Of course Chen Ci still remembered what Fu Tianhe had said, he just wanted to confirm it again.

Is it just cancer?

The two of them chatted aimlessly, talking about whatever came to mind. This was simply impossible for Chen Ci in the past. He always spoke very little, and he used to ignore Shafulai before. But now, listening to Fu Tianhe's chatter, he would say a few words together.

He seems to have changed a lot.

As they chatted, Fu Tianhe lay down on the bed, and Chen Ci also lay down. The topic had changed from the weird colleagues Fu Tianhe met at work to the cartoons they watched as children.

The two were of similar age, and Fu Tianhe had watched all the cartoons and TV dramas that Chen Ci had watched. During the boring days in the White Pagoda, he always had to find something to kill time, and books and movies became his best companions.

"I still remember that there was a very cute character wearing blue clothes in Wolf Lord. I liked her very much at that time and waited for the broadcast on time every night.

"I forgot which episode it was, but she gave artificial respiration to a friend who fell into the water. I was so sad at the time that I cried so much that I turned off the terminal right away."

Chen Ci: “Are you crying?”

"Yes, I cried, rolled on the ground and cried, and I was so sad that I didn't watch it for a week." Fu Tianhe couldn't help laughing when he talked about the embarrassing thing that happened when he was six years old.

Chen Ci has been read in many books that people lose the happiness of childhood and forget Peter Pan on Neverland when they grow up, but Fu Tianhe obviously still retains his original innocence, even though he is about to turn twenty-two.

If Fu Tianhe had lived in the upper class since he was a child, he would definitely be the most popular boy. Alpha is enthusiastic and cheerful, always full of energy. He has a magical energy that can easily infect others and pull them into his own field.

This is an energy more powerful than mental power, and it also attracts Chen Ci to get closer.
