I was wrong, Aye.
The screen was dark and Lin Xunye could only see his own reflection on it.
Lin Xunye on the screen looked listless, with pale lips. Although he didn't have dark circles under his eyes, he looked exhausted.
Some of the wet hair has dried and now becomes very fluffy, just like it was just washed.
Lin Xunye licked his lips and tasted bitterness.
Everything that happened tonight seemed like a farce.
It was so unrealistic, yet he felt so uncomfortable.
The hotel's soundproofing is not good. Even if the room door is closed tightly, the footsteps in the corridor are still very clear.
Lin Xunye's eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes were fixed on the door, as if he was expecting something, but he immediately turned his eyes away the next moment, forcing himself to focus on the kitten.
But his ears could hear clearly.
A pair of footsteps passed by 307 and did not stop.
The second set of footsteps was hurried and left around the corner.
The third one has not appeared yet...
Lin Xunye chuckled, as if he was laughing at himself.
What is he thinking about——
He and Gu Pei were a couple by agreement. They were together for the sake of profit and had no emotional basis. How could he expect Gu Pei to really wait for him as the news said?
He is so stupid.
After personally shattering all his fantasies, Lin Xunye held the kitten on his lap and stroked it.
He had to stroke it a few more times, otherwise the cat would be taken away by Gu Pei soon.
As he was stroking, Lin Xunye stopped unconsciously.
It seems that kittens are not that easy to touch.
Lin Xunye seemed to have lost interest all of a sudden and no longer expected anything.
But the next moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.
The footsteps were very chaotic, not like those made by one person, but when you listened carefully it seemed like there was only one person.
The voice-controlled lights in the corridor flickered, and the yellow light penetrated into the room where only the bedside lamp was on, illuminating a small area at the door.
Suddenly, the light outside the door was blocked and it became dark outside.
Lin Xunye's heartbeat seemed to stop.
As I held my breath, there were two knocks on the wooden door.
The person knocking on the door didn't say anything, but Lin Xunye had already guessed it.
Lin Xunye sat on the bed without moving, but his eyes never moved away, staring at the door.
He was looking through the door at the person outside.
Outside the door, Gu Pei raised his hand and knocked twice again.
This time, he still said nothing.
He knew that his A Ye was inside the door. He didn't want to force Lin Xunye to do anything with words. He wanted Lin Xunye to make a choice that he would not regret.
He is willing to wait.
—
A long time had passed since the second knock on the door, and Lin Xunye's forehead hair had completely dried.
Gu Pei was still standing outside the door and didn't leave.
Lin Xunye knew all of this.
Lin Xunye smoothed the hair hanging in front of his forehead back, took a deep breath, his eyes determined, as if he had made a major decision, and finally sat up from the bed and slowly walked towards the door.
Each step he took was extremely heavy, and the wet floor was very slippery, but Lin Xunye walked faster and faster until he grasped the door handle with his right hand.
Standing at the door, Lin Xunye could clearly hear the sound of the electric kettle boiling next door, the sound of Zhou An turning off the switch, and Gu Pei's heavy breathing.
With a "click", he pressed his hand down, and Lin Xunye's face appeared in the dimly lit room.
Lin Xunye was in a very miserable state at the moment. His clothes were wrinkled and stuck to his body, his hair was messy, and he even lost one of the earrings on his right ear.
Gu Pei outside the door was not much better than him.
His suit jacket was off and draped over his arm. His carefully styled hair was messy and tangled in the wind, with some strands sticking out. His shirt collar was open, with the top two buttons missing.
Especially those bloodshot eyes made Lin Xunye feel even more uncomfortable.
The two stood at the door and looked at each other, neither of them spoke first.
Finally, when the voice-activated light came on again, Gu Pei spoke, "Aye, are you taking good care of yourself?"
It's concern.
Then, Gu Pei took a step forward, without breaking the rules: "Aye, don't be angry."
"I was wrong."
It's an apology.
Lin Xunye felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.
How did he become a crybaby omega?
Without getting an answer from Lin Xunye, Gu Pei kept waiting.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Gu Pei, you are not wrong." Lin Xunye said.
"No one is at fault."
We are both right.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xunye was hugged by Gu Pei.
The sense of security that Gu Pei radiated from the inside out wrapped him tightly.
At this moment, he could not feel anything except Gu Pei.
As the two were hugging each other, the door to the next room opened.
Zhou An stood at the door with the electric kettle, neither knowing whether to go in nor to go back. It was only when Lin Xunye raised his head while sniffing that he saw him.
Seeing that Lin Xunye had noticed him, Zhou An waved at him, then pointed to the electric kettle in his hand, as if asking him if he wanted more hot water.
His foggy brain cleared up, and when he realized there was a stranger around, Lin Xunye subconsciously wanted to push Gu Pei away.
But the embrace of the man in front of him was like a furnace, almost melting him completely, and Lin Xunye's heart could not be hardened.
The hand on Gu Pei's back curled up, Lin Xunye grabbed his clothes, stepped back a little, and said in a whisper: "There's someone, there's someone behind us."
Gu Pei loosened his grip and instead held his hand, while turning to look at the person Lin Xunye was talking about.
As soon as he saw Zhou An's face clearly, Gu Pei frowned.
The person in front of him was the one he saw in front of the company's floor-to-ceiling window during the day, who looked very similar to Lin Xunye.
Lin Xunye didn't notice it, but Gu Pei saw it clearly.
Zhou An has slightly short silver hair, ordinary round earrings, and simple clothes without too many embellishments. He does not show any aggressiveness at all. He looks like a normal person.
But those peach blossom eyes are very similar to Lin Xunye's.
The similarity between their eyebrows and eyes is such that they would be mistaken for each other at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are obvious differences.
Lin Xunye had a bad temper, and his captivating peach blossom eyes were always slightly tilted upwards when he looked at people, but when he was angry, they would bend downwards and narrow dangerously. Zhou An had a silly look in his eyebrows, and no matter how you looked at him, he looked innocent.
No threat.
Gu Pei felt relieved.
Zhou An smiled with a silly look on his face and let Gu Pei look at him, as if he didn't care about Gu Pei's inquiring gaze at all.
In fact, Zhou An really didn’t care, because he didn’t notice it at all. He just wanted to put down the electric kettle quickly.
"Can we go in first? This electric kettle is too heavy, I can't hold it." Zhou An touched his head embarrassedly, feeling a little ashamed.
After all, he is an Alpha, it is unacceptable for him to be so weak.
Zhou An's differentiation was late. Normally, secondary sexual characteristics should develop before adulthood, but Zhou An's differentiation only occurred a month ago.
He had been a Bate for twenty-seven years, and suddenly one day he differentiated into an Alpha, which scared him.
Zhou An boiled water for him out of kindness, and it was really inappropriate to let someone stay outside and watch him and Gu Pei being intimate.
Lin Xunye touched his nose, took Gu Pei's hand and made way for him, "You go in first."
Zhou An: "Thank you, brother."
After saying that, Zhou An was no longer polite and rushed in.
Lin Xunye shook off Gu Pei's hand: "Let go."
Gu Pei held on tighter, their arms touching, their voices escaping into his heart: "No. Ah Ye, I don't want to let go."
The hand being held was shaking irregularly. Lin Xunye rarely spoke to explain: "It's awkward with other people around."
After hearing this reason, Gu Pei didn't insist anymore.
Aye needs time to adapt.
"Okay." Gu Pei let go, hooked his little finger in Lin Xunye's palm, and was suddenly grabbed when he tried to withdraw.
Lin Xunye turned his back, his fluffy hair crisscrossing in the light and shadow like a bunch of small hooks.
Even without putting up bait, Gu Pei took the bait automatically.
"You can hold the little finger, but not the others." Lin Xunye said awkwardly.
Saying this seemed to have used up all of Lin Xunye's remaining strength. His legs and feet began to feel weak again, but he did not fall.
The linked little fingers seemed to convey everything about Gu Pei to him, including love.
A light blush appeared on the back of Lin Xunye's neck, extending all the way to the tips of his ears. If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are also tainted with the feeling called "shyness".
The room was a little too small for Gu Pei, but he did not feel disgusted or annoyed after entering. Instead, he first looked towards the bathroom.
Although Zhou An had cleaned up the bathroom briefly, there were still water stains on the floor.
It was not difficult for Gu Pei to understand something from this.
Aye...didn't take care of herself.
Lin Xunye took Gu Pei to the bedside and suddenly found that the little finger on the palm of his hand was hard.
He glanced at Gu Pei doubtfully, and the latter gave him a faint smile.
The turmoil in Lin Xunye's heart had not yet subsided. He was too busy thinking and did not notice anything unusual about Gu Pei.
Zhou An came in early and had already poured water, three cups in total, each cup was steaming.
Gu Pei said thank you and took the two cups. He placed one cup on the bedside table and tested the temperature of the other cup with the palm of his hand before blowing gently on it.
It was already half past ten in the evening, but Lin Xunye was not sleepy at all.
Gu Pei's breathing sound was very close to Lin Xunye's ear, and his heart was aroused. A strange itch climbed from his tailbone to his glands.
After delivering the hot water, Zhou An stayed for a while and introduced himself to Gu Pei. Gu Pei just said "hmm" coldly, but Zhou An was very excited and praised Gu Pei as the handsome male lead in idol dramas.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhou An shut up angrily.
But before leaving, he added: "You two are such a perfect match. You're as handsome as the protagonists in the idol dramas I've seen. You're a match made in heaven."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou An had already slipped away, and Lin Xunye's face turned red as if it was about to explode.
"Aye, drink some water." Gu Pei brought the cooled water to Lin Xunye's mouth, his deep blue eyes looking only at him.
Lin Xunye opened his mouth in a daze. Gu Pei raised his hand slightly and placed his other hand behind Lin Xunye's head, forcing him to lean back.
The water was slowly sent into Lin Xunye's mouth, but was pushed out by the tip of his tongue.
Lin Xunye bit his lip and wiped it hurriedly.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through." Gu Pei put down the water cup and wiped the remaining liquid from Lin Xunye's mouth with the back of his hand.
He deliberately avoided the lip stud so as not to make Lin Xunye feel uncomfortable.
Gu Pei's expression was focused, and his eyes, which had become substantial, turned into a pool of soft water, completely stirring Lin Xunye's already restless heart.
Lin Xunye licked his lips, as if trying to relieve his thirst, but with little success.
He raised his hand and held Gu Pei's hand that was on his neck. He used some force to pull him in front of him, nose to nose, and said: "Gu Pei, I'm so thirsty."
