One-way Passage

    When he returned to the office alone, Xia Wennan sat at the desk, took out a chocolate from the bouquet, unpacked it, and brought it to his nose to smell it. The familiar truffle chocolate tastes very similar to He Yufeng's pheromone, but it is not exactly the same.

    Xia Wennan hesitated, found chocolate truffles in WeChat friends, and sent a tentative message: "Chocolate truffles?"

    After a while, He Yufeng replied with a smile: "Received?"

    "Really you?"

    "Didn't you say chocolate truffles are delicious?"

    Xia Wennan took a photo of the bouquet and sent it to He Yufeng: "Will it be too much?"

    "..." After a while, He Yufeng sent another voice: "Sorry, I asked my assistant to arrange, I just wanted to give you a box of chocolates, but I didn't expect him to make such an exaggeration something. Did it bother you?"

    Xia Wennan scratched the hair on his head, saying it was troublesome, but he didn't like the feeling of being the focus of others' attention. Think carefully, and just use Mingluchuan as an excuse. He replied, "I'm just afraid of Ming Luchuan's misunderstanding, nothing else."

    "I'm sorry." He Yufeng's tone was sincere.

    Xia Wennan didn't know what else to say, so she found a "it's okay" emoji to go back and ended the conversation.

    After the lunch break, Xia Wennan took the chocolate to the laboratory and gave the chocolate to the laboratory staff.

    A girl said: "How dare we eat such a precious gift?"

    Xia Wennan picked up a chocolate and handed it to her: "It's not too precious."

    The girl took it and asked curiously, "Isn't it from Mr. Ming? Wouldn't he be angry if he found out?"

    Before the girl finished her question, a Beta youth standing opposite them began to wink, indicating the direction of the main entrance of their laboratory.

    Xia Wennan turned around and saw Ming Luchuan standing at the door.

    The girl lowered her head to open the chocolate wrapping paper without noticing it, waiting for Xia Wennan to answer her question.

    Xia Wennan was neither able to say that it was sent by Ming Luchuan, nor could it be said that it was not from Ming Luchuan. He only laughed twice, raised his hand above his head and waved, and said loudly: " Ming is always good!"

    Ming Luchuan and Xia Wennan returned to his office together, sat opposite Xia Wennan's desk, clasped his hands in front of his knees, and said nothing.

    Xia Wennan had two chocolates left, he slowly handed one to Ming Luchuan and said, "Eat chocolate?"

    Ming Luchuan looked down at the chocolate: "Who sent it?"

    Xia Wennan felt there was no need to hide it and said, "He Yufeng."

    Ming Luchuan took a deep breath, although his face was expressionless, but his tone became even colder: "Why did he give you chocolate?"

    Xia Wennan looked at Ming Luchuan: "Because I said chocolate is delicious."

    "Chocolate is delicious?" Ming Luchuan tilted his head to the left, not knowing whether it was a question or a habitual question.

    Seeing that he would not accept the chocolate, Xia Wennan retracted his hand and unpacked it himself. This time, he stood up and leaned over the table and handed the chocolate to Ming Luchuan's lips: "I think it's okay, you try?"

    Ming Luchuan looked at him for a while and opened his lips slightly.

    Xia Wennan fed him the chocolate, then returned to his seat and sat down, rocking the soft office chair gently from side to side.

    Ming Luchuan ate the chocolate and said, "It's not delicious."

    Xia Wennan looked at him and smiled.

    Ming Luchuan asked: "Do you like the chocolate he gave you?"

    "That's it."

    Ming Luchuan silently looked at the last chocolate left on the desk.

    Xia Wennan leaned forward and asked him, "Are you still angry?"

    Ming Luchuan raised his eyes: "When did I get angry?"

    "Aren't you angry about what I asked you about Duan Ning that night?"

    Ming Luchuan denied: "I'm not angry."

    "Why are you angry?" Xia Wennan began to talk to himself, "Is Duan Ning a scar you can't touch in your heart?"

    "You—" Ming Luchuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Wennan's singing.

    Xia Wennan was out of tune: "Bai Yueguang, somewhere in my heart..." He sang a few words, as if he was really touched, and turned the seat under him half a circle towards the window, he looked Landing on the high-rise buildings in the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, he asked, "Am I a stand-in?"

    At the moment when this question was asked, Xia Wennan put himself in the situation of a substitute, and remembered that Ming Luchuan had said that he proposed to Ming Luchuan, and suddenly felt pitiful and sad. Also really sad.

    Ming Luchuan took a deep breath and paused: "What can you do for him?"

    Xia Wennan figured out the meaning of his words, turned around and said unhappily: "Why can't I replace him? How can I be inferior to him?"

    "I said—"

    Xia Wennan slapped the table and stood up: "I'm a Beta, but I was also the most handsome Beta in the school since I was a child. Well, I have always played basketball in our school team, you must know that At that time, everyone except me was Alpha, and every time I finished playing, the locker room was filled with the smell of Alpha pheromones, which was about to kill people.”

    "You change clothes with them?"

    Xia Wennan didn't realize that he had taken the wrong topic: "Otherwise, where would I go to change clothes? The law does not stipulate that Beta can have its own separate dressing room and bathroom, we are already living in the cracks of this society. Come on, you don't want to be cheap and still sell well, okay?"

    "Are you still bathing with them?"

    Xia Wennan recalled: "There are compartments for bathing, I have never bathed with anyone."

    "You washed with me."

    Xia Wennan was shocked: "What did you say? When?"

    "After marriage, of course," Ming Luchuan still maintained the posture he had just sat down in the office, and spoke to Xia Wennan with a calm and indifferent tone.

    "Impossible!" Xia Wennan was very panicked, he firmly denied this possibility, but he was actually beating a drum in his heart, so he had to strengthen his confidence and deny loudly: "You Lied to me!"

    Ming Luchuan stood up, put his hands on the table, his broad shoulders leaned forward slightly: "I said, you have a red mole on your buttocks, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

    Xia Wennan approached Mingluchuan: "How can I see it?"

    "You took off your pants, I'll take a picture of you."

    "Impossible!" Xia Wennan gritted his teeth and refused.

    Ming Luchuan looked directly at him and sneered suddenly.

    Xia Wennan grabbed the phone and hurriedly walked outside the office to the bathroom on the floor.

    It was almost twenty minutes after he returned to the office, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead and his face was pale.

    Ming Luchuan was still sitting in his office without moving.

    When Xia Wennan saw Mingluchuan, her pale face turned red uncontrollably.

    Ming Luchuan seemed to have everything under control and said, "That mole is hard to find."

    It's really hard to find, the mole is in the middle, if you stand, you have to hold it with one hand and hold the phone in the other. But Ming Luchuan didn't lie. There was indeed a red mole there. The mole was not big, but it was very bright red.

    Xia Wennan's face turned red and white, and after a while it turned red again, he asked, "Besides taking a bath, what have you done to me?"

    Ming Luchuan stood up from the chair and buttoned the buttons of the suit that he had untied when he sat down. He walked towards the door and passed Xia Wennan. Side said: "The husband and wife have naturally done it when they should."
