Xiao Jue held his medical examination report and stood in line at the hospital for almost the entire day before completing all the examination items. By the time he walked out, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
The street lights on both sides of the road also lit up. Pedestrians kept walking past him, some in groups of three or five, others in pairs. Although the bustling street seemed lively, he appeared to be the only one walking alone.
However, he didn't feel lonely. There was just an indescribable desolation in his heart. While it was not painful, it was still not very pleasant. Xiao Jue thought to himself, slapping his face, standing up straight, and stretching lazily, getting ready to find a place to eat and fill his stomach first.
Having stayed in the hospital for so long, and considering some of the tests required fasting, I haven't really eaten much all day. Now my stomach is growling from hunger. The only thing worth celebrating is that all the medical examination results today came back normal.
The position he is currently in is a bustling area in the city. If he walks a little further, there are many restaurants to eat at. Xiao Jue spent five to six minutes walking there, craning his neck to look around for a while before finally choosing a Chinese restaurant.
Not long after mealtime had passed, half of the seats in the restaurant were still occupied by customers. Xiao Jue quickly scanned all the vacant seats, found a relatively less crowded spot, and sat down. Then, he ordered two vegetarian dishes.
Sitting next to him at the dining table were three or four female customers. As soon as Xiao Jue sat down, they all looked at him with astonishment, as if they had seen something very extraordinary. Before long, the buzz of discussion followed suit.
"He looks so handsome!"
"Just, just, and he's even wearing a black shirt, looking especially restrained! He must be an Alpha!"
What do you mean by "should be"? This must be an Alpha!
"Yeah, the aura of A is just exploding!"
……
The discussion was ongoing, although the voices were small, they were still heard by Xiao Jue. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he could only pretend he hadn't heard anything and continued to drink his tea on his own.
After a while, the dishes he had ordered were served. With food on the table, Xiao Jue no longer had the energy to listen to those inexplicable remarks. He only wanted to quickly fill his stomach and go home to rest. Without Leng Yu by his side, he ate hastily and with great concentration, hardly ever lifting his head.
However, just as he finished eating and was about to grab a tissue to wipe his mouth, a girl from the table next to him suddenly sat down in front of him with a playful smile, gazing at him with affectionate eyes.
Xiao Jue was startled, but dared not show it. She suppressed her immense shock deep within and gave a slight smile as a polite gesture. Afterwards, she awkwardly stood up and planned to settle the bill and leave.
As he was about to get up, the girl suddenly grabbed his hand. Xiao Jue froze for a second, instinctively retreating his hand and calmly asking, "I'm sorry, may I help you with something?"
He is not good at dealing with girls, whether they are female Alphas, female Omegas, or female Betas.
"Excuse me, may I have your contact information, little brother?" The girl raised her head and looked at him, her dark eyes glistening as if they could drip water.
Xiao Jue became even more nervous and didn't know how to refuse. He was immediately caught in an awkward situation. Just at this critical moment, the ringing of his mobile phone in his bag saved him.
"Sorry, let me take a call!"
As soon as the words fell, he quickly held up his phone and walked to the side to answer the call. Perhaps still caught up in the previous tension and not fully recovering, he didn't even check the caller ID and immediately pressed the answer button, asking directly, "Hello, who is this?"
"A Jue, what are you doing?"
The lazy voice slowly sounded, which sounded unusually familiar to him!
Xiao Jue was greatly startled, instinctively covering the receiver and whispering in a low voice, "Senior?! What's the matter? I'm... I'm eating outside, what's wrong?"
"No problem, I just wanted to call and ask what you're up to." Leng Yu lazily replied, not having anything else to say, and was ready to hang up the phone. Xiao Jue sighed in relief. Before he could hang up the call, he heard the girl from earlier shout towards this side:
"Hey, are you feeling better, little brother?"
Coincidentally, Li Ye heard a voice that was both irritatingly vivid and dead: "Wait a minute, do you have someone with you?"
Xiao Jue felt his heart sink when he heard those words. He looked at the person not far away with a displeased expression on his face and anxiously ran his hands through his hair. Great, now he's in for another damn stroke of bad luck!
