Gu Li came out of the shower and wiped her hair while walking.
Her phone kept vibrating, and seeing the messages that kept popping up, she reached out and swiped the screen lock.
[Fox! Fox! We have some candy to share today! ]
[A small fight for Brother Lu, and it turned into a group battle between No. 1 High School and No. 3 High School. Duan Jiayan was very angry, because someone talked bad about Lu Xingci. He later got taken away by him ]
[But I heard that Duan Jiayanâs hand was injured, I donât know if itâs seriousâŠ]
Gu Li watched the chatter in the group, and then clicken onto the post, she was happily eating the dogfood, when she suddenly saw a familiar personâs ID.
[I was just asking, where did he go this evening. Wait, who is Huo Zi? ]
[Hand injury? Itâs not too serious, I saw that he is still alive and kicking while wearing a bandage. ]
âŠ
It was Zhou Xingchenâs id.
When she remembered the last time they made contact, he had asked seriously:
After the college entrance examination, can I have a try again?
She smiled, even as her eyes dimmed again.
The temperature was dropping day by day. After the arrival of winter, the sky darkened early, and the school also adjusted the studentsâ work schedule accordingly, and moved the school time a little earlier.
Lu Xingci and Duan Jiayan both had their birthdays in winter. After their birthdays this year, they became adults one after the other. Every time Song Yi mentioned this, he would secretly laugh at Duan Jiayan.
âXiao Duan, when are you going to the hospital for a checkup? Your glands should be maturing soon, right?â
Omegas with stress disorder usually developed their glands later and couldnât bear sex until they reach adulthood. After crossing this age group, the glands will gradually develop and mature, which means that there is no need to avoid bonding.
Duan Jiayan looked at Song Yi with a malicious look on his face, and slapped him on the forehead: âWhat are you thinking about?â
Song Yi was beaten, and still continued to go around with him: âArenât you going to check?â
Duan Jiayan didnât speak.
Song Yi smirked: âThen Iâll wait for the monitor to take you to check.â
Duan Jiayan couldnât hold back when he heard this, and kicked Song Yiâs chair with a smile.
The two of them were fighting, and Song Yi said again: âThis weekend is the monitorâs birthday, right? I havenât been to his house, so Iâm a little nervous.â
Lu Xingciâs coming-of-age ceremony was being held at the Lu residence. Except for the friends he himself invited, most of the invitees were from wealthy families in Ning City. Compared to ordinary celebrations, his birthday was more like a social field with scattered chatter, and whatâs more, people specially came to the banquet from other places.
Duan Jiayan opened his mouth and suddenly remembered something. When Lu Xingci was not in the classroom, Duan Jiayan called out to Chen Yue: âMr. Chen.â
Chen Yue had just finished writing the physics problem at hand, when he heard this, he turned his head: âMr. Duan.â
Duan Jiayan asked, âWhen you go to Lu Xingciâs house on the weekend, are you going to wear formal clothes?â
Chen Yue thought for a while: âWill you wear it? After all, he is an adult. Aunt Jiang invited many guests. I heard that some media reporters even wanted to come, but Aunt Jiang refused.â
Song Yi and Duan Jiayan looked at each other with a complicated expression, this seems to be a little troublesome.
On Lu Xingciâs birthday, a light drizzle fell from the sky.
The security at Jingshan Hutong is strict. So for convenience, the driver of the Lu family went to the school gate to pick up Duan Jiayan and Song Yi. As soon as they got out of the car, a person quickly came in their direction.
The aunt at home recognized Duan Jiayan, and as soon as she saw him, she led him and Song Yi inside. Song Yi walked while observing all the way. The house with black tiles and white walls covered a vast area, and the raindrops fell on the pool near the promenade, splashing the clear and transparent water.
Song Yi looked at it and asked with sincerity: âDonât you feel like we are entering the palace?â
Duan Jiayan also sincerely replied: âDonât you think you have been watching a lot of dramas?â
Song Yi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Duan Jiayan suddenly quickened his pace.
Song Yi raised his eyes, and unsurprisingly saw Lu Xingci not far away.
The young tall alpha stood under besides the door. He was wearing a black formal suit, with wide shoulders and long legs, and there was already a vague shadow of a man.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and he looked calm and indifferent.
Having heard the footsteps, Lu Xingci turned in their direction. Seeing the person coming, his eyes slowly warmed.
He looked at Duan Jiayanâs thin coat, and reached out to hold Duan Jiayanâs hand: âIs it cold?â
Duan Jiayan shook his head.
He looked at Lu Xingci with some curiosity. Strictly speaking, this was not the first time he saw the other party in formal clothes, but at that time, he only regarded Lu Xingci as a friend, and he didnât have the intimacy he had now.
Lu Xingci had said before that they didnât need to wear formal clothes. Hence Duan Jiayan and Song Yi both wore casual clothes.
Duan Jiayan had seen enough, and praised: âLu-ge, looking handsome.â
Song Yi saw Lu Xingci rubbing Duan Jiayanâs head.
One was well-dressed, and the other was student-like.
The picture is pretty cool.
âI discussed it with my mother. Iâll socialize with them first, and Iâll come back to have dinner with you later.â Lu Xingci pulled him into the room: âThis way you can be more at ease.â
âOkay,â Duan Jiayan cooperated: âItâs all arranged by our father, Lu.â
â?â
âToday is your birthday, you are our father, and I will be your lick dog for a day.â
Duan Jiayansaid clearly: âWhen itâs my birthday, you will also be my lick dog for a day.â
Lu Xingci laughed: âHow to be a lick dog? Close your eyes and just do it?â
Duan Jiayan entered the play very quickly: âYou donât have to think about this, Iâll just do you.â
Lu Xingci: ââŠâ
Entering the room, Duan Jiayan saw a lot of boys from the class, and a few people who often played together greeted them in twos and threes when they saw them come in.
âBrother Duan.â
âHello, Brother Duan.â
âInterview with Brother Duan,â someone giggled and said, âWas your heart moved when you saw the class leader in formal clothes?â
âAnyway, I was moved when I saw the interior of the class leaderâs house.â
âDamn it, whereâs my alpha?â
âDonât be lustful, the school bully might come over to kill you.â
Duan Jiayan walked over with a smile: âWhoâs moved? Come out and let me see.â
âI just saw someone, are you going to the banquet hall?â Seeing Lu Xingciâs agreement, Chen Yue stood up: âIâll come with you, my mother urged me just now.â
He said, kicking his feet to distract Zhou Xingchen from the game: âAre you going?â
Zhou Xingchen: âI wonât go, there is no one urging me.â
Seeing his ignorant appearance, Chen Yue clicked his tongue: âIf it werenât for your brother to give you the top position. You wouldâve been killed by your mother sooner or later.â
Zhou Xingchen took the time to raise his head: âAre you envious?â
Chen Yue was too lazy to talk to him.
Seeing that Chen Yue and Lu Xingci were about to leave, somebody said, âPresident Chen walk slowly, and President Lu also walk slowly. Come back for a drink after the entertainment.â
âDonât talk about it, Brother Lu will even forget it. The persona is quite human-like, standing there like making a business of 100 million yuan a minute.â
âHahahahahaha, a beast in human clothes.â
Chen Yue listened to their nonsense, turned back and cursed with a smile.
After leaving the main house, he glanced at Lu Xingci beside him, and suddenly opened his mouth.
âBrother, I saw that young lady from the Wei family when I got off the car just now.â
Chen Yue paused: âShe is about the same age as us. Although the Wei family is a little worse than yours, it is still a big family with a foundation. And I heard that their people have a good opinion of you.â
âThatâs not true, brother.â Lu Xingci didnât pay much attention to it:
âIâve never heard of anyone who has a good opinion of me.â
âThen let me warn you first. Since people donât know where your heart belongs, what if they want to meet with you?â
As he spoke, Chen Yue couldnât help but tease, âLu-ge will be in trouble.â
Lu Xingci gave him a cool look.
âHey, yes.â Chen Yue said, âIf you look at her with this expression in a while, she is guaranteed to be scared away by you.â
In the banquet hall with interweaving lights, the band played soothing music. The guests who walked through it chatted and laughed, full of flashy clothes and expressions.
Jiang Yao was dressed in a light-colored dress with an elegant demeanor. Next to her stood Lu Hongchuan, who was in a suit and leather shoes. The back of the man who was straight, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lu Xingci.
Seeing Lu Xingci, Jiang Yao motioned for him to take the champagne from the waiter and turned to face Lu Hongchuan.
âLooking at your son, he canât even canât bear to come here.â Jiang Yao joked: âIf we hadnât promised him to go back after a walk, he would definitely not want to come here.â
Lu Xingci said helplessly: âMom.â
Jiang Yao is usually gentle and dignified, but once in front of his father, she will show the side of an evil little woman.
âCompared to participating in social events, it is indeed much more interesting to accompany your sweetheart.â
Lu Hongchuan said gently: âI still havenât seen that child.â
âIâll let Xingci show you later, looks good.â Jiang Yao said, she smiled and hugged Lu Hongchuan: âItâs almost like us back then, and we were also classmates.â
Lu Xingci was caught off guard by the show, and he didnât know what to say for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao patted him with a smile: âLetâs start with Jiâs house first, if itâs faster, it will be over in one or two hours.â
The Lu family has been in business for generations, while the Jiang family lives in the south, and they are truly aristocratic families. But when it came to Jiang Yaoâs previous generation, the old-fashioned Qinggui gradually declined, until Jiang Yao and Lu Hongchuan became husband and wife.
The marriage of these two families symbolized the combination of wealth and fame, and the Lu family also took advantage of the power of in-laws to soar higher.
Lu Xingciâs coming-of-age ceremony is not only a social field for each family, Jiang Yao and Lu Hongchuan also have the intention to introduce him into the circle by taking this opportunity.
It took longer than Jiang Yao expected to greet and socialize with each family. Lu Xingci lowered his eyes and took a sip of the wine, his knuckles drooping slightly, and the translucent champagne swirled in the glass.
Jiang Yao saw that he was a little absent-minded, and whispered: âOnly the Wei family is left.â
Lu Xingci listened closely, his eyebrows rose, and he nodded to Jiang Yao.
After the two families had finished discussing their business relationship, the Wei familyâs madam suddenly looked sideways and motioned to the girl who had been waiting for a long time behind her to step forward.
Mrs. Wei smiled at Jiang Yao and said, âXue Lan has just returned from abroad, and she donât have any friends here. Isnât Isnât Xingci about the same age as her? You can keep in touch more often and come out to play when you have time.â
Lu Xingci looked the girl who was dressed up in front of him, and only then remembered Chen Yueâs reminder earlier.
Chen Yue was standing not far away, and when he saw the scene here, he shook the wine glass in his hand as if hoping for chaos, and smiled at him like he was watching a play.
âIt should be.â Jiang Yao replied calmly: âHe has grown up in China and has many friends. It is not a problem to take Xue Lan out to find some fun places.â
She said, and turned her head sideways looking at the expressionless Lu Xingci. Taking advantage of the fact that the Wei family couldnât see, she winked at Lu Xingci: âYou have been with us for so long, you young people go play.â
Knowing that Jiang Yao wanted him to deal with it in private, Lu Xingci took it easy . Putting the champagne glass aside, he motioned for Wei Xuelan to leave with him: âMiss Wei?â
Seeing this, the her eyes of the girl behind him lit up and she quickly followed him to the door of the hall.
She was wearing a tube top dress and had bright eyes.
Wei Xuelan used her peripheral vision to look at the boy besides her, who was tall and straight with a clean face. Also because of him, the eyes of the audience gathered on them.
She was followed by so many eyes, and while her vanity was satisfied, she looked at the boyâs handsome and heroic profile, and couldnât help but feel a little girlish in her heart.
The heir to the Lu family seems to be even better than the rumors.
Almost no one in the younger generation could match his family background, and it was unexpected that his appearance is more outstanding than she expected. Before coming to the banquet, her mother reminded her that she could try to get along with Lu Xingci more.
The Lu family and her family are considered to be well-matched, plus the family members are also supportive, marriage between the two families in the future is almost a logical thing.
Thinking of this, her eyes on Lu Xingci became more and more tender.
âCan you walk slower?â Wei Xuelan said softly, âMy heels are a little high.â
ââŠâ Lu Xingci glanced at her diamond-studded high heels and slowed down.
âAfter the new year, are you going to take the college entrance examination soon? I heard from my mother that your grades have always been very good. You are very good.â â
âMiss Wei is also very good.â
âItâs still worse than you.â She smiled: âActually, I donât really want to take the college entrance examination, I want to go abroad directly. Iâm not very comfortable with the domestic education method.â
Lu Xing sighed, but he couldnât let her see how he felt.
Unconsciously, they walked to the side door of the banquet hall.
âIt doesnât seem to be the same direction from when I came here.â Wei Xuelan looked around for a while: âAre we going toâŠ?â
Lu Xingci stopped.
He said in a low voice, âYou came out with me, probably to deal with the pressure from the elders in the family?â
Wei Xuelan was slightly startled.
Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Xingci continued: âIâll go first since I have something to do, Miss Wei is free.â
Seeing that he really left without looking back, Wei Xuelan was embarrassed and also a little unwilling.
She looked at his figure walking away, her eyes followed the elegant corridors of the Lu familyâs mansion. She hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward.
The drizzle gradually stopped, and the sky was completely clear, but dark.
Maybe because it had just rained, there were are a lot of stars tonight. The moon was immersed in the gray-blue sea of clouds, revealing a silver hook-like outline.
As soon as Lu Xingci entered the main house, he saw Duan Jiayan by the garden.
He didnât expect Duan Jiayan to not be inside the living room, but out in the courtyard instead: âWhy did you come out?â
âZhou Xingchen asked me to play a survival game with him.â Duan Jiayan saw him and ran over in two or three steps: âHe is a real idiot, still has to close his eyes when he sees a zombie? Iâm afraid I canât help but want to let him experience the live-action version of PUBG.â
He was actually bored indoors, so he wanted to come out to see if Lu Xing had returned, but it just happened to happened that they ran into each other. When he got close, Duan Jiayan smelled the smell of wine floating in the air, and he said casually: âYou smell so bad.â
Lu Xingci saw his nose trembling slightly, and couldnât help but narrow his eyes and smiled: âYou dislike me?
Duan Jiayan was about to nod when he suddenly remembered that he was still his lick dog today . Duan Jiayan turned immediately: âThis kind of smell is disgusting at first, but it smells good on you.â
Lu Xingci saw him open his mouth, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xingci suddenly caught sight of a charming figure.
Duan Jiayan had his back turned to Wei Xuelan, not knowing that there was a girl looking this way not far from them.
The banquet hall is not far from the main house, so it is not surprising that she can come around.
Lu Xingci glanced at her casually, and Chen Yueâs previous suggestion crossed his mind.
Find a way to scare her away.
Wei Xuelan looked at the scene in front of her and was puzzled.
After Lu Xingci left the banquet hall, he came here just to chat with this person?
This man didnât wear formal clothes, but he didnât look like a servant of the Lu family. Tall, thin, and very beautiful. She couldnât see the otherâs face, and for a moment, she couldnât guess whether the other party was a beta or an omega.
She was surprised when she saw Lu Xingci stretch out his hand and pull the man into her arms.
Wei Xuelan couldnât help widening her eyes in surptise.
In the moonlight, he was gently pecking at his neck.
Little by little, continuing from the chin to the fair skin of the side of his neck.
Inseparably.
Seemingly because of discomfort, the person he kissed raised his head slightly, but was held down by the back of his head again, and pulled back semi-forcefully.
The person who was polite and distant to him just now kissed the neck of another person so lovingly and meticulously.
She instantly understood the reason why Lu Xingci left, and at the same time she was surprised. She couldnât help biting her lower lip.
Seeing Wei Xuelan turn around and walk away, Lu Xingci stopped his intimacy. Duan Jiayan was kissed by him like this, even though there was no one here, there was still a sense of discomfort in the public.
Duan Jiayan couldnât help but ask: âAre you having fun biting me?â
âVery happy.â
ââŠâ Duan Jiayan nodded, and said: âThen Iâll be happy.â
When he spoke, his lips parted and closed. The tips of his white teeth were exposed.
Thinking of the feeling of touching his skin before, Lu Xingci felt a little itchy.
âI did drink a lot of wine before,â he said, and he pecked Duan Jiayanâs lips gently: âWould you like to try it?â
Feeling the warm touch on his lips, Duan Jiayan blinked and heard Lu Xingci persuad softly: âOpen your mouth.â
Duan Jiayan was stunned, feeling his waist being pinched as if to urge him. Unable to resist, he obeyed Lu Xingciâs words.
Lips and teeth intertwined, with the smell of champagne that had not yet dissipated.
Bubbles shot up in his head.
