“In the many years past, I haven’t liked anyone either,” Shen Huaizhi continued slowly, earnestly, and gently. “I’ll do my best to let you adapt to my liking.”
He seemed to recall something, his brows furrowing slightly. “Jiang Heng, although I’ve led a dull and uninteresting life in the past, there might not be much about me that you could like.” Not receiving a response, his voice grew lighter, tinged with a hint of insecurity that didn’t seem characteristic of him. “But, I’ll try to be the person you like.”
“I don’t know what kind of person you like. If not, tell me now, what kind of person do you like? I’ll try my best right now.”
Alpha’s voice seemed to blend into the dim light, and Jiang Heng could barely hear him.
“If you don’t have a specific idea, then how about trying someone like me?” Shen Huaizhi’s smile from before had faded.
The candlelight in his eyes seemed to flicker.
Only after he finished speaking did Jiang Heng begin to feel a surreal sense of unease.
Some jumbled thoughts emerged at this inappropriate moment. Clearly, he was the one who raised the question, and if Shen Huaizhi said “no,” he would probably ask the other person if he was different and might even admit that he had some feelings for him.
But now, all his thoughts were disrupted.
Jiang Heng remained silent for a moment, then lifted his eyelids. Despite his heart nearly bursting with fullness, he made a great effort to restrain himself and looked at Shen Huaizhi.
“Shen Huaizhi,” Jiang Heng took a deep breath, noticing a flicker in the other’s eyes, “come here a bit.”
Shen Huaizhi was slightly taken aback.
However, Jiang Heng couldn’t wait for him to say anything else. He simply closed his eyes and pressed his lips into a straight line, standing face to face with Shen Huaizhi, slightly tiptoeing.
Though he wasn’t much shorter than the other, he had to tiptoe to do this.
The scent of Alpha permeated his body, inexplicably calming.
The next moment, a light kiss, barely qualifying as one, landed on Shen Huaizhi’s forehead, as if returning the earlier kiss.
After the kiss, Jiang Heng felt a bit embarrassed himself.
Who kisses someone right after they confess? This was his first time kissing someone, and even his ears felt hot.
Compared to Shen Huaizhi’s earlier kiss, this one made him even more nervous.
“Shen Huaizhi,” Jiang Heng stepped back after the kiss, his expression becoming sincere, “I initiated that.”
Yet Shen Huaizhi remained frozen in place, despite his lengthy confession earlier, he seemed rooted to the spot.
Afraid that he might regret it, Jiang Heng pondered for a moment and said, “Although I don’t know what you like about me,” he paused, “but I’ll try a little harder to make you like me a bit more.” His tone was sincere, but after saying that, he murmured to himself lightly, “After all, I also like you.”
“Let’s, work on it together.”
“It’s not like trying, it’s just that, I’ve always…”
“I quite like you as you are.”
“It’s not about the way you are, it’s about you.”
He pursed his lips, and by the end, Jiang Heng didn’t even know what he was saying anymore.
He felt like he hadn’t fully recovered from Shen Huaizhi’s sudden confession, hadn’t yet figured out why the other person would like him, and his body responded more honestly than his brain.
Before he could continue, the person across from him made a sound of agreement.
Jiang Heng’s expression was too straightforward, and although his words were messy, the information contained within them made Shen Huaizhi feel like he had missed out on too much.
He had always felt that his world and Jiang Heng’s were incompatible. His life was too regimented, every aspect of it planned out, he always knew what his next step would be. But after meeting Jiang Heng, he realized that rules were made to be broken.
He couldn’t remember when it started, but his responsibility towards Jiang Heng slowly turned into affection, slowly turned into a desire to protect him, not wanting to see him strong anymore.
But as Jiang Heng said, if it were someone else, there probably wouldn’t be any so-called responsibility, so from the beginning, it was predetermined.
He had also been thinking, what kind of person would someone as wonderful as Jiang Heng like?
He wanted to be a cunning hunter, staying by Jiang Heng’s side, waiting until the other couldn’t leave him, then slowly closing the net.
Today, for the first time, he did something so uncertain.
Fortunately, he didn’t miss out on more.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Heng gritted his teeth and said directly, “We soft little Omegas value chastity a lot, and since we’ve already kissed, we can’t take it back…” After he finished speaking, he nervously looked at Shen Huaizhi.
Shen Huaizhi, whether he had been looking down all along or not, smiled when their eyes met.
“Got it,” Shen Huaizhi chuckled lightly. “Fragile Omegas value kissing a lot.”
Though the meaning was similar, hearing it from Shen Huaizhi made Jiang Heng feel somewhat embarrassed, but he still nodded with a thick skin.
He was indeed a fragile Omega.
“If it weren’t for the inappropriate location…” Jiang Heng was hesitating, but then heard Shen Huaizhi seemingly saying to himself, and he didn’t catch it clearly.
Seeing the slight confusion in his eyes, Shen Huaizhi chuckled again. “It’s okay, there are cameras here.”
As he spoke, Shen Huaizhi reached out and touched Jiang Heng’s hair.
The extremely short buzz cut wasn’t prickly to the touch, on the contrary, it was a bit soft.
Feeling a sudden touch on his head, Jiang Heng was momentarily stunned, then reacted belatedly, “So just now…”
Did they not see all of their impromptu markings?
A wave of embarrassment and indescribable feelings surged from Jiang Heng’s feet all the way up.
“No,” Shen Huaizhi naturally touched Jiang Heng’s hair again, as if explaining, “I didn’t capture you on camera.”
On the cabinet side, the camera could only capture his back.
He couldn’t let anyone see his Omega in that state just now.
No Alpha would willingly let others see.
Jiang Heng nodded, his head being touched twice in a row. Although it didn’t feel too strange, he still wasn’t quite accustomed to it and instinctively wanted to avoid it.
He opened his mouth, wanting to continue saying something, but urgent footsteps sounded from outside the door.
“I smelled it just now! A very strong Omega pheromone!”
“Are you sure? There’s nothing here, right? Didn’t we not enter this secret room? Why is the door locked?”
Chen Xingchi sniffed, “Let’s go check somewhere else first? The door here is locked.”
The Omega pheromones were faint, on the contrary, the Alpha pheromones were stronger. After Chen Xingchi finished speaking, he looked at the locked door somewhat incredulously.
The squad leader usually had such a cold demeanor, but did he really play so wildly?
Under Chen Xingchi’s earnest persuasion, the other two members of the hunting team could only regretfully leave from the door. They didn’t have a key, so naturally they couldn’t enter. Rather than waiting here, it was better to go catch someone else.
When the footsteps outside the door faded away, Jiang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, they had just made some impromptu markings, but now it seemed as if they had done something much more serious.
“Let’s go.” Seeing him relaxed, Shen Huaizhi couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment. “Shouldn’t we look for some evidence here?”
After being reminded by the group just now, he finally remembered they were playing an escape room game.
Shen Huaizhi fell silent for a moment. “Jiang Heng,” his expression was somewhat serious, “I think you’re overestimating me a bit.”
Jiang Heng was taken aback and before he could react, Shen Huaizhi sighed, “My brain is blank right now.”
This statement caused the heat that had just subsided in Jiang Heng to suddenly rise again.
It also made Jiang Heng realize that he wasn’t the only one whose thoughts were in disarray, a faint sense of joy emerged in Jiang Heng’s heart.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Heng no longer felt any embarrassment. He simply moved closer to Shen Huaizhi. The room was still lit only by candlelight, and once it quieted down, there was actually a slightly eerie atmosphere.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at the not-so-high ceiling, whispering, “Um, your boyfriend is feeling a bit scared right now, can I hold your hand?”
He very consciously placed himself in the role of “boyfriend.” Despite saying so, Jiang Heng had already grabbed Shen Huaizhi’s hand, as if genuinely afraid. Not only did he grab it, but he also firmly intertwined his five fingers with Shen Huaizhi’s, then squeezed himself against Shen Huaizhi’s side, their shoulders pressing firmly together in complete intimacy.
It wasn’t clear whether it was because of Jiang Heng’s acknowledgment of their relationship status or because of Jiang Heng’s sudden and unannounced closeness, but Shen Huaizhi was momentarily stunned. He lowered his head and looked at their clasped hands, then slowly returned the grip.
At this moment, Alpha’s possessiveness was deeply satisfied. The scent of Omega permeated his body, giving him a feeling that the Omega belonged entirely to him at this moment. It was only in moments like this that Jiang Heng felt a sense of reality.
Holding hands with each other, and being so close to each other, enveloped in each other’s breath, perhaps it was the nature of an Omega, but even if the other’s pheromones were aggressive, Jiang Heng felt an immense pleasure.
He willingly submitted to the other.
After a while, he heard Shen Huaizhi say with a smile, “Alright.”
Even if both of them were currently in a blank state of mind, they couldn’t just sit here and wait for the game to end. They had locked the door purely by exploiting a bug. If members of the hunting team really came over later, or if there were other ways to enter, they would be in trouble.
Moreover, they still had teammates.
After holding hands for a while, Jiang Heng couldn’t sit still and began to rummage around the room.
As he rummaged, he kept holding Shen Huaizhi’s hand, and the latter followed him around the room.
“Is this the Madam’s stuff?” Jiang Heng glanced at some expensive-looking jewelry on the maid’s bed, and when he turned back, he happened to meet Shen Huaizhi’s gaze.
Shen Huaizhi didn’t seem to be looking at anything in particular.
Just a glance from him made Jiang Heng a bit uncomfortable.
Damn it.
How could he focus on playing the game at a time like this?
He was about to say something when voices came from outside the door again.
“Where are the squad leader and Jiang Heng?”
“I don’t know, haven’t seen them at all.”
“I know who one of the murderers is!”
This time it was members of the escape team. They sounded like the two girls from earlier.
Jiang Heng and Shen Huaizhi glanced at each other and finally decided to go out together. The two girls were originally discussing clues there. The closed door suddenly opened by itself, causing the two girls to scream in fright.
When they saw the person coming out from inside, the two trembling girls hugged each other and breathed a sigh of relief. “Squad leader, Jiang Heng, you’re here.”
When they left the main cabin earlier, weren’t these two already here? Yet after such a long time, they were still in the same place. Although the two girls were a bit puzzled, they didn’t feel like asking.
Jiang Heng nodded, “Was it that scary?”
One of the girls nodded seriously. Just as she was about to say something, her gaze suddenly dropped, and she immediately grabbed the other girl’s clothes, “We, we remembered that we haven’t searched the room next door. Let’s go search it.”
Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow, before he could respond, the girl grabbed the other girl and ran off quickly as if they were the hunting team.
Jiang Heng looked puzzled, “Was I really that scary?”
Shen Huaizhi stifled a laugh, “No.”
“Then why did they run so fast?” Jiang Heng complained as he pulled Shen Huaizhi towards another room.
Shen Huaizhi didn’t answer, just squeezing his hand.
However, after just a short moment of silence, the previously somewhat empty corridor suddenly echoed with the sound of someone running. It sounded quite intense.
Chen Xingchi was chasing someone while persuading, “Let’s have a fair game! Don’t run! Let us catch someone to pretend!”
“If you have the ability, go catch the squad leader! What’s the use of chasing me here!”
The voices of these two were quite loud, echoing in the corridor.
Jiang Heng paused for a moment, suddenly having an idea.
“Damn, I have to catch up to the squad leader too!” Chen Xingchi was panting heavily. If he hadn’t just passed by the door of that room and discovered that thrilling secret, he wouldn’t have been so desperate to catch someone to distract himself from the terrifying memory.
He was afraid that Shen Huaizhi would find out he was outside the door and have the idea to silence him.
Just thinking about it gave Chen Xingchi chills.
Jiang Heng stood still, listening to the approaching footsteps, “Squad leader, want to try some exercise for a while?”
Just now, after the temporary marking, he seemed to have more energy than before, and his brain had been in a state of excitement.
At his words, Shen Huaizhi raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond or refuse.
Taking it as an agreement, Jiang Heng laughed excitedly and shouted loudly down the corridor, “Chen Xingchi! The squad leader and I are here!”
His voice was not small, and it’s unclear who he disturbed, but what was originally just the sound of Chen Xingchi and another Alpha chasing each other suddenly turned into many people running around. Among them, there was also Chen Xingchi’s terrified “ah ah ah” mixed in, gradually fading away.
Jiang Heng: “…”
Listening to the sound, it seemed like everyone was running in the opposite direction.
What happened to the hunting team they agreed on? Why did it feel like they were the ones being chased?
Shen Huaizhi couldn’t help but laugh, “Let’s go, let’s go find some evidence.”
The inappropriate and bad thoughts from earlier were also suppressed. He had to take it slow; he couldn’t scare people away.
Once they truly immersed themselves in the game, time passed by quickly.
“I wonder where these people are hiding; we can’t find anyone.” On the way back, the atmosphere in the car became much livelier, with most of the conversation revolving around the game.
“You still have the nerve to say that; when I saw someone before, you guys weren’t willing to go over and catch them.”
“Where could a Beta possibly outrun an Alpha? Couldn’t catch up.”
“What about you, Chen Xingchi? Jiang Heng told you to go catch him and the squad leader, but how come you ran faster than a rabbit?” When this person spoke, the other informed individuals also chuckled.
Chen Xingchi glanced back at the two who were leaning against each other with their heads lowered, hesitated for a moment, and said, “That’s because the wise man knows when to advance and when to retreat.”
“I can’t outrun the squad leader, nor can I outrun Jiang Heng.”
Admitting that he couldn’t outrun an Omega wasn’t embarrassing at all to Chen Xingchi; he was righteous. “In the end, didn’t you guys also lose?”
In the end, the hunting team caught more people. The difficulty for the escape team was still a bit higher.
After he finished speaking, the person who had spoken before sighed, “We still have to write some sort of post-game summary when we get back.”
As soon as this was said, the whole car erupted.
“Damn it! Stirring up trouble for no reason!”
“How do we write this? Document this melodramatic story? Or what?”
Jiang Heng, feeling a bit drowsy, held Shen Huaizhi’s hand and leaned on his shoulder. When he heard this, he raised his eyelids slightly and said, “Write about the love between classmates, even when playing games, we’re unwilling to hurt each other.”
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it sounded sincere. Yet, it was also quite sarcastic.
Chen Xingchi was about to explode with anger but didn’t dare to retaliate.
After Jiang Heng finished speaking, as if he didn’t realize how sarcastic he sounded, he curled up even more, putting all his upper body strength on Shen Huaizhi’s body. He rubbed his head against Shen Huaizhi’s shoulder and said, “Squad leader, I’m sleepy.”
Perhaps because when he was collecting evidence later, his brain cells were dying a bit too quickly. Although in the end, he couldn’t figure out all the character relationships in this theme story, relying on Shen Huaizhi to explain it to him, Jiang Heng only remembered that in this melodramatic story, the young lady and young master truly loved each other. Shortly after the young master went out, the young lady was framed for infidelity by her aunt. The aunt, who resented the young master’s biological mother, redirected her hatred towards both the young master and the young lady. The old master, in order to protect the aunt, also deceived the young master.
The story was chaotic, melodramatic, and nonsensical.
What people truly remembered was the long and brief mark in that room and the suddenly warm heart.
Shen Huaizhi affectionately touched his cheek, “Then go to sleep.”
With the approval, not long after, Jiang Heng grabbed Shen Huaizhi’s hand and fell into a deep sleep.
The consequence of sleeping too much during the day was that, that night, Jiang Heng lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, or maybe there was some other reason.
He stared at the chat records with Shen Huaizhi for a while.
In fact, they didn’t say much, just ordinary topics like good night, go to bed early, what to eat tomorrow, and such.
Jiang Heng rarely chatted with people about such commonplace things.
He used to think that saying these things felt somewhat affected, after all, saying good night and discussing what to eat through the internet seemed quite unreal.
But today, the more he looked, the more he felt, ah, indeed, it was quite unreal.
How did he end up dating Shen Huaizhi?
How did he suddenly confess?
How did it end up being Shen Huaizhi who confessed to him?
Chaotic thoughts emerged but were forcibly suppressed by him.
Even if Shen Huaizhi’s judgment was influenced by the temporary mark, he… gained from it.
In the end, Jiang Heng could only force himself to sit up on the bed; otherwise, he was afraid he would flip the bed over by tossing and turning.
He and Shen Huaizhi made plans to go out for lunch tomorrow.
Coincidentally, at this late hour when most people were still awake, He Ci sent a message to inquire.
【He Ci: There’s a high school basketball game in our city next month. Do you want to give it a try?】
Jiang Heng glanced at it.
【Waterworks Wang Hang: ?】
【He Ci: Weren’t you in the basketball team over in the far city before? Do you remember those guys we played against outside of school last time? The ones from the neighboring school. One of their team members got injured a couple of days ago, and they asked me if you’d be willing to give it a try.】
Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow.
【Waterworks Wang Hang: As a substitute?】
【He Ci: I haven’t asked about this yet, I’ll go ask.】
Upon seeing the response, Jiang Heng furrowed his brows. He did spend some time on the basketball team in Far City, but at that time, he hadn’t undergone differentiation yet. The coach had some requirements regarding secondary genders, and although Jiang Heng appeared to be an Alpha, the actual differentiation results hadn’t been determined, so the coach didn’t dare to let Jiang Heng officially join the team. He was just a substitute. He didn’t mind much since playing basketball was just a hobby for him, similar to other sports. However, it was rare to see a basketball team willing to accept Omega members, given the inherent instability associated with Omega dynamics. After a short while, He Ci returned with news.
【Not a substitute, and there’s prize money involved.】
【The competition is only two days away, just a casual little match. If you’re not willing, it’s fine; the main reason is the Alpha who showed interest in you last time. He highly recommended you.】
Though He Ci’s words were tactful, Jiang Heng, perhaps due to being in a committed relationship, still perceived the underlying meaning. It turned out he was being set up to play matchmaker for someone else.
【Shui Gong Wang Xing: Sorry, I have a boyfriend.】
【He Ci: ???】
【He Ci: Sorry, I take it back. I was pressured to say that. Is it Shen Huaizhi?】
【He Ci: Never mind, I’m sure it is. I knew it was you two.】
He Ci then rambled on, implying he had long seen through the subtleties between the two, but Jiang Heng couldn’t be bothered to read it all. After considering for a moment, he thought a basketball game would actually be good; no one said Omegas couldn’t participate, and no one said only Alphas could participate.
【Shui Gong Wang Xing: I’ll go to the basketball game. However, during training, I might bring a family member. Should I ask if they mind?】
【He Ci: …Okay】
Damn, it’s embarrassing to be rejected, and now he has to endure public humiliation on top of it. Who knows how Shen Huaizhi puts up with Jiang Heng. After sending the message, Jiang Heng thought for a moment and decided not to let free labor go to waste.
【Shui Gong Wang Xing: By the way, my dad has a date tomorrow. Can you suggest some places in the nearby city that are suitable for dates?】
【Shui Gong Wang Xing: Preferably places that are romantic for two people.】
【He Ci: …】
【He Ci: A hotel】
【Water Worker Wang Xing: Do we still need to prepare some tools?】
He Ci was about to advise that someone like you, an underage Omega, shouldn’t be discussing these things now, especially considering that Alphas like Shen Huaizhi are too overpowering. Before he could send the message, Jiang Heng’s new message came through.
【Water Worker Wang Xing: I’ll bring tools to bury you.】
Go to hell, hotel.
Stupid He Ci.
Not long after blocking He Ci, Jiang Heng looked at a densely packed math test paper and fell asleep. The next morning, before six o’clock, Jiang Heng was awakened by the ringing of his phone.
The housekeeper hadn’t arrived yet.
With a grumpy expression, Jiang Heng reluctantly suppressed his temper a bit when he saw the caller ID.
“Sorry to disturb you,” the voice on the other end was not unfamiliar. Jiang Heng squinted as he listened, and the voice continued, “Professor Xie fainted the night before last. Originally, we didn’t want to disturb you, but the professor hasn’t woken up all day yesterday. We still hope you can come and see the professor.”
Near City is not close to Far City.
When Jiang Heng came here before, he endured nearly five hours on the train alone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Heng immediately checked the train schedule. The earliest train was in half an hour, and he almost didn’t hesitate, heading out directly.
By the time Jiang Heng realized it, he had already reached the station.
There weren’t many people at the station early in the morning, and as November approached, the temperature difference between day and night had become more significant. Jiang Heng waited at the station for a few minutes before feeling a bit cold.
He had rushed out wearing the same short-sleeved shirt he wore to bed, but fortunately, he had thought to put on a pair of pants. Otherwise, he might have frozen solid by now.
On the way, Jiang Heng’s mind was filled with what Xie An’s assistant had said, “Professor Xie has been unconscious for two days.”
A feeling he had never experienced before surged in Jiang Heng’s heart. Since his divorce from Jiang Jin, he had always stayed by Xie An’s side. Although Xie An had been very busy all these years, Jiang Heng always knew that Xie An loved him. Otherwise, Xie An wouldn’t have cared about him so frequently, even though he had learned to be independent over the years, he still understood that in Xie An’s eyes, he was still a child who hadn’t grown up.
Recently, because of his own wilfulness, Jiang Heng had developed a kind of physiological disgust towards himself due to his rebellious mentality towards Xie An. Like Xie An, he was unwilling to expose his vulnerable side to his family, but at the same time, they both wanted to know everything about each other and care for each other.
The hospital where Xie An lived was the same hospital where Jiang Heng stayed during his differentiation.
This hospital seemed to be owned by the same boss as Xie An’s laboratory. Jiang Heng remembered that last time, Xie An got along well with his attending physician, seemingly from the same school.
When Jiang Heng arrived, Xie An’s assistant was already waiting for him downstairs at the hospital. Upon seeing him, her expression didn’t relax but instead directly explained the situation to him.
“Professor Xie hasn’t slept for three days, relying on nutrients to stay awake. We’ve advised her not to worry too much…”
Jiang Heng’s expression was unusually cold. Although he understood that Xie An had always been like this, fully devoted to her work no matter who interrupted her, he still regretted a bit why he hadn’t contacted Xie An these past few days.
The assistant paused here, glanced at Jiang Heng, and continued, “But the professor said she wants to end the current project as soon as possible so she can come to the nearby city to be with you.”
After saying this, the assistant seemed to sigh. Jiang Heng’s steps halted. Xie An had indeed mentioned before that she would end her current project as soon as possible and come to the nearby city to see him. Jiang Heng hadn’t taken this seriously. From childhood to adulthood, Xie An had made too many promises and broken them too many times. He had never thought that Xie An would actually fulfill her promise.
After a while, Jiang Heng hoarsely replied, “Okay, thank you, I understand.” Xie An was staying in a single room because she was a special worker, and she was well protected. When Jiang Heng looked at her from outside the ward, he noticed that she had lost some weight, her face was a bit pale, and she looked very weak. Xie An had a gentle and beautiful face, even though she was getting older, she still looked good. Jiang Heng remembered that when Xie An and Jiang Jin had just divorced, some people felt sorry for their marriage. They said that although Xie An was beautiful, she was a Beta, and no matter how beautiful a Beta was, they couldn’t resist the temptation of an Omega in front of an Alpha. Their marriage was not well-regarded from the beginning.
“Have you had lunch?” The assistant saw Jiang Heng standing at the door and not entering, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. She trusted her professor more than Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng’s thoughts were interrupted, and he paused for a moment, reaching out to touch his phone. The phone had automatically shut down due to low battery. Seeing that Xie An was still lying there fine, probably just asleep due to lack of sleep, Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief. After saying a word to the assistant, he went downstairs to borrow a power bank.
When he turned around, before he could apply the scent barrier patch, his neck was fully exposed in the sight. The assistant was a Beta and couldn’t smell any pheromones, but she saw the faint marks on Jiang Heng’s gland and was slightly surprised and a little excited.
The tooth marks represent a marking.
–
Waiting for the phone to boot up takes a long time.
Jiang Heng suddenly remembered that he had a date with Shen Huaizhi today, but instead of keeping the appointment, he ran from the nearby city to the far city early in the morning without saying a word, standing him up.
It was already past lunchtime, and he was starting to feel hungry, but he had no appetite at all. Of course, he was more anxious about facing the dilemma of “how to handle standing up your boyfriend on the first date.” Damn it, why did he find it somewhat exciting?
Shen Huaizhi’s words made him almost completely lose the little bit of emotion he had left at this moment. Jiang Heng pursed his lips and explained, “I came back to the far city.”
“My mom fell ill, so I came back to see her. I’ll go back tonight.” He rarely spoke so seriously. “Shen Huaizhi, please don’t be angry.”
“I left in a hurry this morning and forgot.”
After he finished speaking, he heard a soft chuckle from the other end.
Jiang Heng gritted his teeth. “I’ll make it up to you next time—”
“Then you need to appease me.”
The author has something to say: How do you appease someone?
