Old Injury
Chapter 5
】
In the disturbing silence, Song Bailao's lazy voice sounded again.
"Your seduction skills are too clumsy, aren't you?"
I froze all over and looked up from his arms, just in line with his drooping eyes.
His eyes and pupils were as black as ink, and his facial features appeared deeper and less warm in the dim light.
"Are you so eager to dedicate yourself?" When he spoke, his thin lips were slightly upturned, but it was by no means a friendly arc.
He thinks I fell on purpose, so I can give him a hug... This person has a bad temper, but his imagination is good.
"No..." I hurriedly struggled to get out of his embrace, stepped back a little, and stood an arm's distance away from him.
I stared at the indistinct pattern on the carpet and defended weakly: "I really just fell."
He let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils, as if he was laughing at me and he was still stubborn. Out of the corner of my eye, he flicked his shirt, as if to brush away the unsightly folds I had left on his clothes.
For the next ten seconds, none of us spoke. The time is extremely long because of the blank, which makes people restless.
In my ear, I heard Song Bailao suppressed his impatience, and sighed heavily from his nose: "Then will you wear a tie?"
My fingers nervously **, I swallowed nervously: "This is also... Really not."
He didn't speak anymore, walked up to me, pulled the tie from my hand, raised my shirt collar not very gently, and even started to tie my tie for me.
I stifled my neck and let him toss, not daring to move. His eyes inevitably met his face, and he had to admit that even among the generally good-looking alphas, Song Bailao's face could still be called amazing.
Different from Liang Qiuyang's delicacy, and from Zhu Li's immortal look, Song Bailao's looks are more masculine and more aggressive. If Liang Qiuyang and Zhu Li are precious collections displayed in the museum, then Song Bailao is a magnificent scenery in nature.
It didn't take a minute, he skillfully tied the tie that I couldn't do with my previous efforts.
"Okay." He adjusted the position of the tie to fit snugly against my chest. I was finally able to breathe normally without deliberately holding my breath.
I saw his eyelids lift slightly, and quickly staggered his face, walked back to the bed and quickly put on the white suit jacket. When he turned around, he saw that Song Bailao was still standing there, his eyes fixed on the front. I just noticed that there was a full-length mirror behind me just now, and he was silently staring at his own reflection in the mirror.
"Come here." He seemed to detect my gaze through the mirror, and ordered without looking back.
I walked over obediently, and he stepped aside and motioned for me to stand beside him. I did, and the mirror immediately showed us standing side by side.
The same style of dress, he wears black, I wear white. He was tall, handsome, and dazzling; I was pale and haggard, and cringed.
"Are you worthy?" he asked, looking at me in the mirror.
Not at all, even a little funny.
If he wants me to be ashamed, I don't have to. I've always been clear about what this marriage means to him and my role in it.
I don't open my eyes: "The clothes are a bit big."
The dress on me should be made to the size of Zhu Li, and it fits on me like a child wearing an adult's clothes, funny and ridiculous.
My reaction may have made him feel a little boring, Song Bailao looked at me in the mirror for a while, turned and took off his coat, without continuing to stab me.
"I'll ask the tailor to make one size smaller." He casually threw his coat on the armrest, and leaned back on the sofa.
I stood for a while at a loss, thinking that this should mean "over", and took off my coat as I walked to the bed.
"Do you know why I married the Zhu family?"
I took off my clothes and looked at Song Bailao blankly.
He crossed Erlang's legs and supported his chin: "In the energy industry, Xia Sheng and Ruan's family are also known as two giants, and the Zhu family has begun to set foot in the energy industry in recent years. I choose one of them to be attached to. And I also need to draw new forces to fight against the Ruan family and break the deadlock, so it makes no difference to me whether it is the Zhu family or the Yang family." He said lightly, the canine teeth looming under his thin lips, "You two brothers. Although it's not very good, a commercial marriage has nothing to do with will. I hope that after marriage, you can abide by your duties, do your own thing, and don't cause me trouble. In this way, we may be able to coexist peacefully. "
He said it bluntly and very rudely. But I didn't seem to have any other choice but to nod my head in agreement.
"I see." I turned my back to him and changed back to my clothes. I was hesitating whether to fold the dresses that I took off. Song Bailao behind him saw my intention and stopped him coldly. me.
"The clothes are there, you can go."
As if receiving amnesty, I straightened up and walked out, almost impatiently leaving the room with Song Bailao.
Secretary Li sent me downstairs, and I didn't dare to look back until I walked out of the Xiasheng Building. The towering 28th floor, whether it is from the bottom to the top or the top to the bottom, should not be perceived by reason, but I feel strangely that a touch of eyes always falls on me from the high-rise building, lingering.
I just tried on a suit, but I was exhausted. After returning home, the bowl of white jade jade noodles had already grown into a lump of dough. Although it must be very hard to eat, I was hungry and tired, and I couldn't give birth to the heart to start cooking again, so I could only eat this bowl of cold noodles.
After eating the noodles, I put down my chopsticks and clenched my palms against the bowl of residual soup in front of me and clenched a fist.
"Happy birthday to me."
I don't really feel much about the day I was born. In the past, when Master was here, I would celebrate my birthday. After he left, I didn't even remember much. This year, I will think of eating a bowl of noodles, but I just want to make a birthday wish.
I put my forehead on my thumb, closed my eyes and said softly, "I hope my child is healthy and safe."
For more than 20 years, I have made only a handful of wishes, and few have come true. Seven years after he was born, I have not done anything for him, so I can only comfort myself in this way. I always blame Ning Shi, but after all, I am not a competent father myself.
I cleaned up the dishes and took a shower, and it was eleven o'clock in the evening. I sat down at my desk, opened my diary with the key, and wrote down what happened today.
Since seven years ago, I have had the habit of keeping a diary. All the thoughts that I can’t express during the day are smothered in the diary, which can also be used as my daily catharsis.
[I saw him again, and he asked me to abide by my duty...]
When Song Bailao asked me to try on clothes in the evening, I paused for a while, until a spot of ink that could not be ignored appeared on the paper, I picked up the pen again and continued to write.
[**. 】
After writing the diary, turn off the lights and go to sleep. I don't know if it was because of the relationship with Song Bailao that I saw him today, and I have him in my dreams.
Zhu Li knocked on my door and invited me to a party with a smile, saying I would love it.
At that time he disguised himself very well, gentle, beautiful, excellent, and even allowed me, the son of a mistress, to call him "brother", you can imagine how flattered I was when I was young. I trust him unconditionally, and feel that he is the opposite of the arrogant and indifferent classmates in the school, a white lotus flower that emerges from the mud and is not stained.
I didn't expect the white lotus to be a real white lotus, or a black-hearted lotus with a profound Taoism.
He often asked me at the dinner table about my situation at school and inquired about the details of my relationship with my classmates. At that time, I thought he cared about me and would always hide the truth and tell him that I was fine, Everyone is friendly.
In fact, he was just watching my jokes and appreciating my lame performance that I wanted to cover up.
Not long after, Zhu Li took me to a carnival party. On the top floor of a building, there is an infinity pool overlooking the panoramic view of Xiangtan. I don't know what the theme is and who the organizer is. From the moment you walk in, you will be greeted by a dizzying array of alphas and omegas, all dressed up in their signature bitestops and collars, and having fun within safety. There were betas on the scene, but only a few, and I quickly found out that it was the waiter who poured them drinks.
Many people came to say hello to Zhu Li, and he was also a dazzling presence in the upper class that could not be ignored. Zhu Li introduced me to them one by one, calling me "younger brother". Whenever this time, the opposite a or o will show a subtle surprise.
These people are well hidden, but I can still keenly capture the emotion behind their perfect upbringing that I can't help but leak out, that little bit of emotion that can be called "disgust".
The only difference between them and my classmates is that one of them still maintains poor superficial skills, while the other is too lazy to maintain superficial skills.
Zhu Li was surrounded by his friends, who talked about the financial situation and international trends, they didn't look like a group of underage high school students. It was also at this moment that I clearly realized that the power, wealth and even the future of this world are only in the hands of a few people, and those who participate in this party are the best among them, and beta will never try to squeeze into them.
I felt unable to fit in, and walked away bleakly, just looking for a quiet place to stay until the party was over.
This may be the purpose of Zhu Li taking me there, so that I can recognize the reality and know the gap with them.
In the midst of the loud music, I was attacked from behind by a sudden strong force, crushing the wall.
I looked back in horror to see an unfamiliar alpha, wearing bright amber contact lenses, a brass-like bitestop, and a terrifyingly uneven shape.
"You smell very clean." He sniffed at me and smiled drunkenly, "Want to play with me?"
I even suspect that these betas are their "fun". And without Zhu Li by my side, it was obvious to them that they could have fun at will.
"I don't want to play..." I pushed him away, covered my head and headed into a corridor.
The alpha behind me was chasing me slowly, as if I thought I would play hard-to-play with him again.
"Don't go, slow down..." The other party leaned against the wall crookedly, "Little beta, let me mark you..." He was amused by himself, and he laughed inexplicably there, I don't know Did you take any medicine?
I kept going back and forth, and turned another corner, finding in despair a dead end. Fortunately, there were several closed doors on both sides of the corridor. I was in a panic and went to the doctor. I chose one of them and twisted the handle. Unexpectedly, it opened.
I hurriedly entered the room, closed the door softly, put my forehead against the door and let out a long breath. It's just that before I could completely put my heart back to its original place, the abnormal noise behind me instantly made me nervous again.
I only glanced at the door when I entered, only to see the moonlight and the light shining into the room through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a lattice-like reflection on the ground, but I didn't notice anyone else.
I turned around abruptly, and saw a dark corner where the afterglow of the light did not reach, on a big soft and messy bed, the **** alpha sat up slowly, clutching his forehead. After a while, a similarly naked female beta sat up beside him.
Seeing the black grid-shaped bite stopper on the lower half of the alpha's face, I moved in my heart and had a vague premonition. Sure enough, when the other party moved his hand away, I found out that the other party I knew, or I had met, was Song Bailao.
He also saw me, not knowing whether it was a hangover or being disturbed, and frowned tightly: "Who let you in?"
I am also very embarrassed by this situation, but if I go out again, I am afraid to meet that strange alpha again.
I hurriedly explained to him: "I'm... Have we met you? Did you forget? At the back door of the laboratory building that day, you climbed over the wall." I tried to evoke his memory, "I'm Zhu. Li's brother, there is an alpha outside who has been pestering me. Please, lend me a place to hide."
He raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Li's... little brother?" He looked at the beta beside him and raised his chin at her, "You, go out."
The woman gathered her curly hair and pouted in dissatisfaction, but still obediently got out of bed and put on her clothes, daring not to leave without any complaints.
When she passed me, she rolled her eyes at me, as if to blame me for disturbing her good things.
Only me and Song Bailao were left in the room. I pressed against the door nervously, not knowing what to say.
In the end, Song Bailao said first: "Zhu Li actually has a beta brother?"
He brows slightly, and seems to find it strange.
I pursed my dry lips: "We...are not related by blood."
He suddenly realized: "No wonder, you are not alike at all."
His words seem to have deep meaning, I don't like his tone very much: "How can I compare with my brother..."
The door behind me was suddenly slammed, I stared at the door in horror, backed away from it, my heart was beating so violently that I almost jumped out of my chest.
The back suddenly hit a solid and hot human wall, I turned around in astonishment, Song Bailao stood behind me, put his hands on my shoulders, and pushed me aside.
"Get out of the way."
I was still stunned, he had walked over and slammed the door open.
"Fuck away if you don't want to die." He made vicious threats to those outside the door.
"Song, Song Bailao?" The man seemed to be frightened, and I could even hear in his voice the image of a puppy with its tail tucked out of its throat to let out a pitiful whimper.
Song Bailao's reputation at that time was already very loud, whether it was family life or fighting fiercely.
His excellence is obvious to all, and his rebellion is well known. Even as the same kind, no alpha will easily provoke him.
The door soon became quiet, and Song Bailao closed the door again. And it was only now that I realized that he was completely naked.
He stood in front of me carelessly, like a vivid marble statue, the texture of the muscles and even the light and shadow cast by the outdoor light on his body, all revealed an unreal beauty.
Although the lower body is hidden in the shadows, it looks very blurry.
I looked away awkwardly: "Um... thank you, thank you."
"This is not the place for a beta like you."
I was stunned for a moment, what he said was right, but he was too direct, which made my face very ugly.
I was at a loss this night, I was out of tune, I was suffocating and had nowhere to vent, and he hit my gun.
I met his eyes and asked him, "Where should I be?"
Ning Shi asked me to join them, but they did not accept me. I also don't want to pretend to be their kind, but I really have nowhere to go.
I was very naive at that time, thinking that everyone is human, why should beta be inferior to others? I can go by myself, but they can't chase me away.
"In the place where your betas are supposed to be." Song Bailao reached out and rubbed the back of his neck, circled around, and avoided the important points, "It's not here anyway."
I held back for a long time, and I never broke out when dealing with Ning Shi, but after he finished saying this, I refuted him with a strange heroism.
"It's really easy to say, aren't you beta born? Since you also have half of the beta genes in your body, shouldn't you stay here too?"
This is a bold statement. I regretted it immediately after I said it, but it was too late.
I not only stabbed Song Bailao's inverse scale, but also stabbed to death.
When I reacted, he grabbed my neck and threw me hard against the wall.
My toes were touching the ground, I had difficulty breathing, and the blood all over my body seemed to condense on my face. I struggled to grab the hand on my neck, but I couldn't resist alpha's strength. His hand was like an unbreakable iron pincer that couldn't be shaken at all.
In a trance, I even saw a tyrannical blood light flashing in Song Bailao's eyes, as if he was going to kill me.
I thought I was going to die, he really wanted to strangle me. But gradually, the pressure on the neck to compress the trachea became less and less, and I was able to breathe smoothly again.
I took a big mouthful of precious air, because I was so eager, I even coughed, and tears came out of the corners of my eyes.
He squeezed my chin and forced me to look up: "What do you know? Think you can tell me if you hear one or two gossips about me? It's because of a self-righteous beta like you, I It's here." He looked at me like he was looking at an ant, "What a disappointment."
He withdrew his hand, threw me there, turned and pushed open a bathroom door and walked in without turning back.
I covered my neck and watched his back disappear behind the door with lingering fear, until the faint sound of water sounded in my ears, and then I opened the door and escaped from the bedroom as if I was awakened.
After the party, Zhu Li found me in a dark corner.
He reluctantly asked me why I was hiding, I smiled at him and said that I was not used to the noisy environment. His gaze lingered on my neck for a moment, then looked away as if nothing had happened.
When I got home, I looked in the mirror and found that there was an obvious choke mark on my neck.
