"Did I do anything to you last night?" Pei Du's heart tightened, and he tried to recall, but his head hurt even more. "Sorry, I don't drink well."

Wen Qiu lowered his head and said softly, "It's okay, you didn't do anything... Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom.

What happened? Pei Du immediately stood up and found himself naked, but there was no sign of sex. He casually put on a bathrobe and chased after Wen Qiu, but saw Wen Qiu packing his things.

"Where are you going?" Pei Du was a little panicked for no reason and stepped forward to grab his hand.

"Where else can I go? I have an early class today." Wen Qiu said calmly, "I've skipped that class too many times. The professor has issued an ultimatum. If I'm caught skipping class again, I'll fail the course."

Pei Du stared at his nonchalant expression inquiringly: "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and send you off."

"It's okay. Your home is close to the school. It only takes three subway stops." Wen Qiu pushed his hand away. "Go have breakfast, or it will be cold."

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Pei Du just refused to let go. He felt strangely irritated. He didn't know why he didn't want to let Wen Qiu go, as if a kite would fly away if he let go of her hand. "You always keep things to yourself. I'm not good at guessing what you're thinking."

Yes, you are only good at hurting people, stabbing my heart with a white knife, draining my blood, and then stuffing in a little hope that is better than nothing. You are really cruel and arrogant. I have to do my best just to stay alive, and I don’t have the spare time to continue playing with you.

Wen Qiu shook his wrist vigorously, his tone becoming sharp, "Let go!"

However, he was not strong enough to shake off an Alpha, especially an extremely determined and stubborn Alpha. Pei Du pressed his shoulders against the wall, his tall figure looming over him, his voice still hoarse with a hangover: "Wen Qiu, don't lose your temper, calm down and talk properly."

He has never been a person who has the patience to coax his little lover, but fortunately Wen Qiu never did that before. Everything was wrong today. The lost memory after being drunk and Wen Qiu's resistance made him feel uneasy, as if he had lost control of reality.

"Okay, then I'll ask you a question," Wen Qiu took a deep breath and looked at him with pale eyes, "Pei Du, do you like me?"

Pei Du was startled. This sentence was like a spark that fell into the barren garden in his mind, and all the withered and flourishing things were burning. The fantasies, concerns, desires and repressions about love rose in his mind. However, in these short yet long seconds, he just looked at Wen Qiu and could not give any answer.

Wen Qiu bit his lower lip, and the tears that had been planned for a long time finally fell. He lowered his head and wiped his eyes in embarrassment, then pushed him away and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

"Wait..." Pei Du subconsciously wanted to chase, but at this moment, a "ding" sound came from the other end of the aisle and the elevator door opened.

An Yunqi had a messy hairdo and smelled strongly of alcohol. He looked at them with a puzzled look on his face. "Wow, you're all so energetic so early in the morning!"

Wen Qiu passed him without saying a word and walked into the elevator door which had not yet closed. Pei Du stood stiffly where he was, as if his hands and feet were tied by something heavy, and did not chase after him.

/
I couldn't remember how I left Junyin Building. When I came to my senses, I was already on the subway. Wen Qiu sat in a corner by the window, staring at the dark tunnel outside the window with an unfocused look. For a moment, it felt like his soul had left his body. He didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or where to go next.

Pei Du did not answer, but the silence revealed all the answers - even if Pei Du liked him, he would not give him anything he wanted because he did not deserve it.

Standing on tiptoe and struggling to reach his world, giving him love and infatuation one-sidedly, what is the point... Is he really always desiring things that he shouldn't desiring, so he is always slapped in the face by reality in the end?

The phone vibrated several times before Wen Qiu managed to calm down. He opened it and saw a WeChat message from He Yu saying good morning, along with a bowl of steaming hot noodles: "Your favorite beef noodles, the chain store has opened here, it still tastes like when I was a kid."

Wen Qiu looked at the bowl of noodles, his eyes sore, and he murmured aggrievedly: "Brother..."

Brother, I’ve been bullied. Can you help me fight back?

He couldn't say anything as willful as a child anymore, so he just replied with this message: "Is the house ready?"

Today is the 21st, and it is almost the end of the month. The house is almost ready, and the day to give He Yu a reply is getting closer.

The phone vibrated continuously. He Yu sent a lot of photos in one breath, including the cozy room for Zhao Ma, the children's room for Xiao Zhiliao, and the huge underground playground.

"It's just the final finishing touches. All the materials used are formaldehyde-free and very safe. Next time, bring Zhao Ma and Xiao Zhiliao to come and have a look." Following this message was a selfie taken at the door of the villa.

Wen Qiu enlarged the photos one by one, and the last one he enlarged was He Yu's bright smiling face. His mind immediately thought of a male bird with colorful feathers, working hard to build a nest, and a sense of empty joy arose in his heart.

He replied: “Okay, we will definitely come.”

An Yunqi walked into Pei Du's house without thinking, sniffed, "Wow, it smells good, it's different with a wife. Look, I came to visit you without having breakfast, so you should treat me warmly."

Pei Du walked back absent-mindedly, as if he didn't notice the new person in the house.

An Yunqi was not polite at all. He found a set of bowl and chopsticks and started to slurp the porridge, not forgetting to praise Wen Qiu's good cooking skills.

While he was enjoying his meal, Pei Du was leaning on the bar alone, smoking a cigarette with a frown on his face. He did not immediately chase Wen Qiu because he himself had not yet sorted out the current situation.

After smoking a cigarette, he looked up and glanced at An Yunqi: "Which refugee camp did you come back from without changing your clothes?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Didn't I meet Li Tianchang yesterday? I wanted to talk to him, but that bastard locked me in the car all night and broke my phone into pieces. The security guard passed by in the morning and let me out. Damn it."

Well done, why didn't you break the person too, Pei Du thought without any empathy. Then he asked, "What happened last night when I was drunk?"

"Huh? Nothing. I asked Li Tianchang to take you home so you wouldn't stay there and cause harm to others. You have such an easy life. When you're drunk you just go crazy and when you wake up you forget everything."

These words made Pei Du feel even worse. He accidentally glanced at the kitchen trash can and found a little cream on it - Wen Qiu might have prepared a cake for him last night, or maybe something else, but he came back too late and didn't remember anything. "Haha, you didn't bully someone last night and you forgot everything this morning?" An Yunqi looked gloating. It was rare to see Pei Du being humiliated in his life, so he had to seize the opportunity to see it enough.

Pei Du ignored his question and just said, "He asked me if I liked him."

"Oh? So how did you answer that?"

Pei Du glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth, meaning, didn't you see it all?

"Tsk, tsk, what do you think?"

"I don't have any intention of changing the status quo." Pei Du said frankly, "But he looks... very sad."

"Of course! She's pretty and likes you, everyone can see it. It'll be strange if he's not sad if you keep him hanging like this!" An Yunqi glanced at the ring that suddenly appeared on his little finger, chewing a bun and mumbling, "In my opinion, she's good-looking and has a good temperament, and she's so infatuated with you, so she's the most suitable person to take home as your first wife. Maybe she'll have a baby with green eyes in the future..."

Pei Du didn't know if he had heard the words or not, he just stroked the ring without saying a word. He thought that Wen Qiu's love was so cautious, and he only dared to give her a pinky ring. He must have accumulated courage for a long time before finally deciding to give it to himself...

"Ahhh, I can't stand it anymore. What's wrong with you saying you like me? Eat me to death first!" An Yunqi felt that he was too picky. He walked over and snatched his phone. "Listen to me, act quickly. No matter what happens tomorrow, you won't have a chance if he runs away!"

Pei Du pointed out: "You do things without considering the consequences, that's why you come to me like a beggar to beg for food in the morning..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone beeped. It was An Yunqi who called Wen Qiu, then handed it to Pei Du, smiled evilly and mouthed: "Coax him."

Pei Du's expression froze, and at that moment the idea of ​​humbly apologizing actually popped up in his mind. However, before he could open his mouth, the phone was hung up mercilessly.

An Yunqi didn't believe it, so he called again, but this time the call didn't go through. He looked up in disbelief, "Fuck, Xiao Piaoliang seems to have blocked you!"

Pei Du was stunned - it was the first time in his life that the young master was blocked by someone. The experience was indeed shocking.

It's bad too.

Wen Qiu had always set a special ringtone for him, so no matter when he called, he would be picked up within ten seconds. Omega's voice came through the phone, always sweet and soft, like a butterfly living in his ear.

He had become accustomed to receiving responses to everything and took it for granted to enjoy Wen Qiu's favoritism.

However, all he was facing now was a black screen and a busy tone.

Pei Du took back his phone and sighed: "I deserve it."

It was his fault for making people sad, and it was also his fault for not responding. He should at least apologize with sincerity and sit down with Wen Qiu to talk things out calmly.

"I will go find him and make things clear." Pei Du thought for a moment, "But I may need to prepare a gift first. Director Sun's film project has recently been approved. Have you heard the news?"

"Oh, that crime movie, right? That's a big production, destined to be the dark horse of the year." An Yunqi was very enthusiastic and righteous, "You've asked the right person. My sister and Director Sun's nephew have some sexual connections. I can help you make the connection."

"I want to put Wen Qiu on the screenwriting team."

"Wow, Director Sun only uses his personal team, all of whom are industry big names. It's not that easy."

"I will let him join the group with 1000 million yuan. He can learn more useful things from his seniors." Pei Du said, "What he writes now has no value and is not suitable for him."

An Yunqi gave him a thumbs up and said, "Haha, I've only heard of actors bringing money into the crew, but this is the first time I've heard of sponsoring a screenwriter. This gift is quite sincere."

He patted Pei Du on the shoulder and said, "But to be honest, I am a little surprised that you have only done this now."

"how?"

"You care so much about that pretty girl. You should have given him some big treats a long time ago to make him devoted to you. You are the same. When it comes to him, you become indecisive and have no courage at all."

Is that so? Pei Du reflected on it and found that he was indeed very concerned about Wen Qiu's matter and was timid. But that was because he cared about her, so he couldn't act decisively regardless of the harm.

In addition, he did not think that Wen Qiu would fall in love with him wholeheartedly if he gave her some "big benefits". It would be great if he could be bribed that easily.

The sobering tea prepared by Wen Qiu was simmering on the stove. Pei Du poured himself a cup. It tasted sweet and slightly bitter, which gradually relaxed his tense nerves.

He gradually came up with ideas and planned what to do next. With An Yunqi's help, he contacted several people from Director Sun's side, and after confirming that the matter was almost certain, he prepared to ask Wen Qiu to "sit down and talk" together.

When editing the text, Pei Du had already thought about which restaurant to book and all the explanations and persuasion he should say. The message was full of apology and care, and it was so appropriate that no one could find fault with it.

However, after the WeChat message was sent, a bright red exclamation mark popped up the next second.

Wen Qiu also blocked him on WeChat.
