Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen sat there for a few seconds, his gaze falling on Li Qing's sleeping face.

The other person didn't seem to be sleeping very soundly, with his brows slightly furrowed in his sleep. Seeing this, He Xiangchen took advantage of Li Qing's sleep, quietly bent down, brushed aside the hair on the back of the other person's neck, and took a closer look.

Last night, his fingertips scratched me for so long, and his palm covered me all night. The skin around my gland is a little red, but it's nothing serious. It looks like a red mark from sleeping in a bad position.

Unless someone deliberately touches it, Li Qing, with his level of intelligence, probably wouldn't even notice that someone had touched the back of his neck.

He Xiangchen breathed a sigh of relief, then coughed dryly, feeling a little ashamed of his behavior last night.

He considered himself a man of principle, and if the other party didn't have that intention, He Xiangchen wouldn't force them.

But I don't know what happened last night, I was like I was under a spell, and I did something wicked.

Oh well, Li Qing doesn't know anyway. (^person^)

Thinking this, He Xiangchen got up and got out of bed to change his clothes, facing the window.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, and He Xiangchen's hands, which were tidying clothes, suddenly stopped.

He stepped forward and pulled the curtains open completely.

"Splash!"

The bright morning sunlight streamed in instantly, illuminating the entire room and shining on him as well.

He Xiangchen was very familiar with the light and shadow of the early morning.

Most of the time, he watched helplessly as the light and shadow gradually appeared, amidst the pain and lucidity of the night.

This is the first time I've ever seen this sunshine in this way.

Is he asleep?

He Xiangchen stood there, somewhat stunned.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the pain in my mental sea seems to have lessened a little bit.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a noise came from the bed behind him.

Li Qing was awakened by the morning light, and with a bit of a grumpy mood, he grumbled in dissatisfaction before slowly raising his head.

He squinted and vaguely saw a tall figure standing in front of the window, with his back to him, bathed in sunlight. He rubbed his eyes and then realized it was He Xiangchen.

"Hmm... what time is it?" Li Qing muttered, reaching for his phone on the bedside table and turning on the screen to take a look.

8:05.

The next second, he was as if he had been electrocuted, and he jumped out of bed.

"Oh my god! I'm going to be late!"

Li Qing exclaimed in surprise, muttering, "Oh no, I forgot to set my alarm!"

Guan Li had scheduled an acting class for him at 8:30, and if he didn't hurry up, he would definitely be late!

Li Qing rushed out of bed, ran to the wardrobe, and quickly stripped off her pajamas and T-shirt, throwing them onto the bed.

Upon hearing Li Qing's voice, He Xiangchen turned his head and immediately saw Li Qing's bare back. The doubts he had about sleeping vanished from his mind.

Seeing Li Qing standing in the closet picking out clothes while wearing only shorts, He Xiangchen's brow twitched, and without thinking, he drew the curtains again.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed.

Why do you always take your clothes off so casually?

Li Qing was picking out clothes in the closet when she heard this. She stopped what she was doing, turned around in surprise, and looked at He Xiangchen.

Looking at He Xiangchen's somewhat strange yet serious expression, he suddenly realized something and immediately felt it was absurd.

This guy is always touching hands or putting his arm around waists, and he releases his pheromones everywhere without any sense of propriety. Now that he's taken off his shirt, this guy suddenly seems to care.

Li Qing looked at him, somewhat amused, and said, "You're an Alpha, I'm a Beta, and we're both men, why are you being so particular about this?"

Li Qing doesn't hold grudges.

After learning about He Xiangchen's "tragic" background and his "pretense" and "unavoidable circumstances," he completely put the matter of Shengxin Club behind him.

At this moment, he was completely at ease and had no sense of vigilance.

In contrast to his openness, He Xiangchen, who had just made a move last night, seemed a little guilty.

The key point is that, after hearing Li Qing's words, he felt that they made a lot of sense.

One Alpha and one Beta, two grown men—generally speaking, there's really nothing to hide.

He Xiangchen's expression changed for a moment, but he was thick-skinned and quickly calmed down, his smile returning to normal.

"I'm fine," he said to Li Qing in a serious tone, "but you still need to be careful. You didn't even close the curtains just now. Have you forgotten that you're a celebrity now? Paparazzi might follow you in the future, and it wouldn't look good if you were photographed."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing realized that it actually made some sense.

Although he felt that He Xiangchen was making a mountain out of a molehill, what the other party said was not impossible. If there really were paparazzi lying in wait and they took pictures of him wandering around the house shirtless, it would indeed not be good if the news got out.

"That makes sense, I'll pay attention next time." Li Qing replied, but her hands didn't stop moving as she quickly grabbed a set of clothes from the closet.

Time was of the essence, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran into the bathroom.

He Xiangchen watched his retreating figure as he followed him into the bathroom.

After the two finished washing up, Li Qing wiped her face haphazardly with a towel and checked the time; it was almost 8:15.

There was no time to make breakfast at this hour, so Li Qing immediately decided to go out and buy some.

After buying the steamed buns downstairs, Li Qing greeted He Xiangchen and then ran towards the Twilight Nebula Building.

He Xiangchen leaned against the car, watching Li Qing's figure merge into the crowd until she could no longer be seen. Then he turned around, opened the car door, got in, and drove out of the apartment building area to the company.

Immediately afterwards, a convoy of cars followed.

Several pedestrian drivers who were just worried about not being able to find a parking space turned around and were surprised to find a long row of parking spaces suddenly appearing on the side of the road. They were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and quickly stepped on the gas to fill the spaces.

A month later.

Li Qing's laundry detergent ran out.

He checked the locker and found that not only laundry detergent, but also daily necessities such as soy sauce and toilet paper were almost gone.

Looks like I'll have to go on a big shopping spree at the supermarket.

I went straight down the elevator to the supermarket downstairs.

Li Qing pushed a shopping cart, weaving between the shelves, and threw the items into the cart one by one according to the list on his phone's memo.

After finishing my shopping, I was about to go to the checkout when I suddenly stopped, then went back and stopped in the magazine section, my eyes fixed on the book "First Dream".

The latest issue of "First Dream" has been released.

On the cover, he sits on a retro single sofa, his profile turned to the camera. The light and shadow outline his deep features, his eyes are cold, and his temperament is aloof. He looks both strange and familiar.

Shortly after Li Qing finished taking the photos, Guan Li sent him the finished product. He was already shocked when he saw it on the computer. He couldn't believe that the person in the photos with such a powerful aura was actually himself.

All I can say is that the makeup artist, photographer, and post-production team really put in a lot of effort.

Although I was surprised at the time, it was on an electronic screen after all, so it didn't feel quite real.

These days, it feels quite peculiar to see yourself clearly printed on the cover of a physical magazine in a supermarket.
