Honest Beta gets scammed

The reason sounded reasonable, but Li Qing was instantly embarrassed.

It was hot, so he was only wearing a T-shirt, which was made of very thin fabric.

But the hand on his waist was large and hot, holding him tightly to He Xiangchen's side. The heat from the palm was transmitted through the fabric, making him feel extremely uncomfortable in the sweltering summer heat.

The heat started in that palm and quickly spread throughout his body, causing his heartbeat to become erratic.

Li Qing glanced at He Xiangchen with some unease.

He Xiangchen didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed straight ahead, his jawline was incredibly defined, and even under the harsh lighting of the bridge, his handsome features were undeniable.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

Li Qing held his breath. He had a feeling that his gaze was probably a bit unspeakable, so he quickly turned his head back, feeling quite depressed.

This is probably one of He Xiangchen's old problems.

This person seems to have no sense of propriety. Every time I go out with him, there's always this kind of intimate physical contact.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have misunderstood long ago!

Li Qing's mind wandered, trying to ignore the presence of the hand around his waist, and the two of them walked all the way to the middle of the bridge.

The crowds here are terrifying; it's truly packed with people.

Strangely, most people stayed there and didn't move forward, as if they were waiting for something.

He Xiangchen and Li Qing also stopped.

It was much cooler here than on the other parts of the bridge, with gusts of wind blowing across the river, carrying moisture and dispelling some of the heat.

Li Qing looked around and finally realized what was going on. He asked in a low voice, "Why is everyone gathered here? Is there some kind of performance?"

He Xiangchen's voice came to my ears.

"Well, it's about time."

"Look up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing looked up obediently.

A beam of light tore a hole in the night sky!

The whistle pierced the air!

A burst of golden fireworks exploded in the darkness, and brilliant sparks cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly illuminating the entire bridge.

Before the light of the first firework had completely faded, more streaks of light shot into the sky one after another, red, yellow, green, and purple, all kinds of colors intertwining and blooming in the night sky, making the entire capital city's night scene magnificent.

Li Qing's eyes were filled with that dazzling light, her mouth slightly open, her eyes full of amazement.

"Wow……"

He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

She subconsciously took a step forward, stepping out of He Xiangchen's arms, as if that would bring her closer to that sky.

Li Qing actually saw fireworks quite often back in his hometown.

In the county town, whenever there is a wedding, funeral, or business opening celebration, several strings of firecrackers and several tubes of fireworks are set off to celebrate.

But those scattered fireworks, compared to the magnificent scene of the Milky Way falling before our eyes, are like fireflies and the bright moon.

No wonder so many young people are desperate to get into the capital.

Even a single firework display here can stir one's emotions.

Caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere, he relaxed completely, looking up at the scene intently. He turned his head to say something to He Xiangchen, but suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He looked around and realized that many couples were kissing on the bridge.

Li Qing blinked, glanced to his left, and saw a young couple kissing passionately; then he glanced to his right, and saw an Alpha holding his Omega in his arms, whispering in his ear.

He was shocked to find that, without him noticing, he and He Xiangchen were surrounded by couples!

Li Qing scratched his chin somewhat awkwardly and secretly glanced at He Xiangchen.

He Xiangchen, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, gazing at the night sky, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Seeing his composure, Li Qing chuckled softly.

He thought to himself that he was already twenty-eight years old and still cared about this; he was really getting more and more out of touch with reality.

Thinking this, he turned his attention back to the fireworks, no longer paying attention to the lovey-dovey couples around him.

The next second after he looked up at the night sky, He Xiangchen, who had been staring straight ahead, slowly lowered his head and looked down at his profile.

The fireworks show on the cross-river bridge is a regular feature of every holiday in the capital, and it is extremely famous on the federal network, making it one of the capital's signature attractions.

At the same time, it is also a sacred place for countless people to confess their love.

He Xiangchen spent several months slowly boiling the frog in water. Under his deliberate provocation, he observed every change in Li Qing's heart and every change in expression.

Those who flirt are the ones who know best.

He Xiangchen was at least 70% certain that he had successfully won Li Qing's heart.

Now, they are separated by only a thin layer of paper, and this cross-river bridge and this grand fireworks display are the final stage he has chosen to break through that thin layer of paper.

A glint appeared in He Xiangchen's eyes.

Under the glow of fireworks, in those eyes that always held a sly glint, lay a deep affection that even he himself was unaware of.

Some of the more perceptive couples nearby seemed to sense something, and gradually quieted down, exchanging knowing smiles.

Many of them had been here before; they had witnessed the birth of many love stories on this bridge, and they never hesitated to applaud whenever that moment arrived.

The timing was perfect; the fireworks were at their most dazzling.

He Xiangchen had imagined this scene countless times in his mind. Now all he needed to do was utter those words that he had never told anyone before, just like the version of himself in his mind.

however……

When the moment finally arrived, He Xiangchen found himself somewhat nervous, his hands even trembling slightly.

He looked at Li Qing's profile as he focused on the fireworks, and instinctively slowed his breathing, afraid that Li Qing would notice something was wrong with him. But then he thought, no, shouldn't he let him notice something was wrong right now?

After hesitating for a long time, the sweet words that used to flow so easily seemed impossible to utter today.

He pondered for a long time, watching as the fireworks in the sky began to thin out and were about to end.

He Xiangchen finally panicked. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Do you...like Alphas? Since you're still single, do you have any strict requirements for choosing a partner?"

Li Qing was watching the fireworks when this sentence suddenly came out of his ear, making him pause for a moment.

He never expected He Xiangchen to suddenly ask him this question, but it wasn't difficult to answer.

"I don't have any requirements. What requirements could I possibly have? The main reason I've been single is because I haven't met the right person back in my hometown."

"As for Alpha, I think I'd better pass. If I were to look for one, I'd probably go for a female Beta, hehe. A female Omega would be fine too, but they probably wouldn't be interested in me anyway."
