Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Don't make the same mistake again
Qi Yan has always been perceptive, but this time he did not notice the changes in his neighbor. He lowered his eyes and stared at his right hand in confusion, as if he wanted to verify something.
The slender fingers slowly spread out, with distinct and strong joints, and closed tightly, with veins slightly protruding from the back of the hand, but no scars, everything was very natural and smooth.
But why do I feel like my hand is broken?
He felt really confused and looked up at his neighbor. He saw that he was drinking the wine he had just mixed with his head slightly lowered, holding a wine glass in one hand and two straws in the other. Under the bright lights of the bar, that beautiful face looked as pale as paper, and even her fingertips were trembling slightly.
Qi Yan paused, no longer caring about the illusion just now, and asked him quietly and cautiously: "Is it really so...unpalatable?"
It was obvious that the mojito he made was unpalatable, but he had to finish it because of the promise he made just now, so he looked ugly and seemed to want to vomit but was holding it back.
The neighbor's eyelashes trembled twice, and he slowly raised his eyes. The lenses reflected white light, and you could faintly see a hint of tears in his eyes.
It’s over, he’s drinking so hard that he’s about to cry, Qi Yan thought.
“…No, it’s delicious.”
The neighbor pursed his lips, and the wet wine wet his light-colored lips. His eyes were a little wandering, and his drooping eyelashes blocked his sight, occasionally sliding across Qi Yan's slender and powerful right hand.
Qi Yan sighed and pushed the cold water in front of him: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to be so kind. I know this wine tastes bad, so don't bear it like this."
"Brother Qi, can you help me?" Ye Chengcheng from next door happened to come over, looking a little embarrassed, "We have run out of several kinds of wine, Brother Chen put them too high, I can't reach them."
"Okay, what kind of wine do you want? I'll help you get it down." Qi Yan first spoke to his neighbor and went over to help.
The neighbor pursed his lips and looked sideways. It was too close.
He bit the straw and lowered his eyes. They were standing too close.
Qi Yan took the wine down from the high place. Ye Chengcheng, who was standing next to him, looked up at him and reached out to take the wine with a sweet smile on her face. The dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible. From the perspective of a neighbor, they looked quite intimate.
Especially when the other person was talking to Qi Yan with a smile on his face, he didn't know what he said, but he couldn't help laughing. His peach blossom eyes looked at Ye Chengcheng tenderly and lovingly, appearing to be particularly affectionate.
Qi Yan held onto the shelf and lowered his head to talk to him, and the two of them moved closer. If Qi Yan wasn't very tall and Ye Chengcheng wasn't tall enough, they would probably be able to kiss each other if they were just a little closer.
Moreover, at such a close distance, Qi Yan would be contaminated by the other party's pheromones...
The fingers holding the straw unconsciously exerted force, her long eyelashes trembled violently, and her white fingertips tightly gripped the wine glass with a slight tremor.
He drank the wine, the cold liquid mixed with crushed ice entered his mouth and he swallowed it, with a slight taste of blood. His glasses slipped a little, and his eyes, as sinister as a venomous snake, could hardly be hidden.
No, you have to calm down.
Must stay calm.
We must not repeat the same mistakes.
The ice at the bottom of the mojito had melted, but there was still a lot of crushed ice on top. He picked up the glass and drank the mojito, ice and mint leaves together without chewing. He swallowed it raw with his Adam's apple rolling, just like a poisonous snake swallowing its prey.
Under the lenses, the cold eyes stared at them intently.
Still talking, still laughing...
The lips were stained with water, looking gorgeous. He licked his lips and tasted a sweet and fishy taste of blood. His bitten lips felt stinging. The pheromone-isolating collar tightened slightly, causing sharp pains in the glands and the pheromones in the body churning. The pain in his temples reminded him to stay calm and not let the jealousy and anger in his heart vent.
So he forced himself to look away, pushed his glasses up, took out a few bills from his wallet, put them under the wine glass, stood up, staggered two steps, and left quickly.
"Brother Qi, thank you for your help." On the other side, Ye Chengcheng put the wine down and smiled sweetly at Qi Yan.
"It's just a small favor. No need to be so polite." Qi Yan helped him get the last bottle of wine. There was a distance of about half a meter between them, not very close.
He has always paid attention to the distance between AOs, and will not get too close even if they are acquaintances. When he finished his work and returned to his seat, his neighbor had disappeared.
"Well, why are you walking so fast?"
Qi Yan looked around and didn't see any neighbors. The glass of mojito was drunk up completely, without any ice chips or mint leaves left, and the cold water next to it was not drunk either.
Was this dumped?
Qi Yan took back the cup. Who would eat up all the mint leaves and ice cubes? It seemed that the neighbor was embarrassed to say it directly, and secretly poured it away as soon as he left.
It really gives him face.
Qi Yan smiled, without much thought, but he was a little hesitant holding the few bills under the cup.
Before leaving just now, Qi Yan specifically told his neighbor not to pay, after all, the drinks he mixed were too unpalatable and spending money would be a sin. Unexpectedly, the other party not only paid, but also gave more.
"…I'll give it back to him when I get back?"
No, it’s better not to get too close to omegas.
Especially with neighbors.
Although the other party looked nice on the surface, the arrogance in his bones was too hard to conceal, and Qi Yan happened to be very familiar with this kind of high-handed person, and knew that he was not as easy to approach as he seemed.
So forget it, let’s wait and see when there is a chance.
The bar strictly abides by regulations during opening hours and closes on time at 2 a.m.
It was a lively night. As soon as the band finished their performance, the bassist was kidnapped. Everyone was about to snatch him back, but the lead singer said that he was the bodyguard of the bassist's family. Everyone dispersed. It turned out to be a bloody story of a young master who gave up his huge fortune to pursue his dream.
"Brother Qi, those bodyguards just ordered drinks from me." Ye Chengcheng was watching very happily and came over to talk to Qi Yan excitedly.
Qi Yan was helping to pack up. When he heard this, he thought to himself that he was right.
At that time, I felt that those people were not simple. Since they were bodyguards, it was normal. No wonder they were waving light boards so vigorously. It turned out that they were supporting their young master.
Chen Buqian walked over and yawned: "Old Qi, you will definitely go back to school to do experiments tomorrow, right?"
"I have something to do tomorrow morning, I will go there in the afternoon." Qi Yan put the information he got from Brother Xu into his backpack.
After changing their clothes, they left the bar through the back door. Chen Buqian and Ye Chengcheng returned to school. Qi Yan did not live on campus, so he walked with them for a while before they went home separately.
There are too many people in the bar, and most people control their pheromones very well. Regular bars also add appropriate amounts of pheromone removers when ventilating the room to prevent accidents. But Qi Yan always felt uncomfortable, so he used a large amount of pheromone removing spray when he came back and took a shower to make sure there was no pheromone on his body.
Whether it is other people's pheromones or one's own pheromones, they are not contaminated at all, they are overly clean, even to the point of being a little abnormal.
It is said that the more top-level alphas are, the better they can control their pheromones and avoid causing oppression to others. However, no matter how top-level an alpha is, he should not be as weird as Qi Yan. Any normal alpha will have a little bit of thin pheromones on his body to show off his charm. This is an innate instinct.
Especially when getting up in the morning or sweating during exercise, it is easy for clothes to be stained with faint pheromones. However, Qi Yan always controls it very well and lives like a beta, with no pheromones on his body at any time.
Friends around him were also puzzled by this and asked him how he could control pheromones so well, and whether it was true that except for the uncontrolled outbreak of pheromones during the susceptible period, no pheromones were leaked at other times.
Qi Yan said, it’s about the same, after all, it cannot be controlled during the susceptible period, but it has become a habit at other times.
That strange habit had been engraved into his soul at some point, making him do it unconsciously.
It seemed as if someone was telling him subconsciously that he must not let the pheromones leak out, otherwise something bad would happen.
