Chapter 1
For some unknown reason, the sky was still a little clear when I went out, but it was already gloomy.Teng Ning stared out of the window, unconsciously clenched the phone with his right hand, his fingers trembled from the cold, and did not let go in the end.He came back to his senses when a notification sounded for a new message.
Sure enough not...
He sighed softly, but there was not much disappointment in his eyes, and responded to the inquiry from his friend: "Just got in the car, um, it seems to be raining."
A few minutes later, the rain oscillated into messy lines on the glass, and was quickly dried by the wind.This wet feeling is always indispensable in summer, so Teng Ning got excited and took a photo with his mobile phone. After hesitating, he still sent it to the familiar account.The child sitting next to him seemed to like rainy days very much. He leaned towards him, his eyes widened, and he occasionally turned to his mother and shouted, "Why didn't it ring?"
The woman said in a soft voice: "Shh, the raindrops are afraid of disturbing everyone, so it's very quiet. Let's not disturb others, okay?"
Teng Ning didn't feel noisy, instead, he rested his chin and looked at the child who was acting coquettishly beside him, a trace of envy rose quietly in his heart, but was suppressed again.He can't remember clearly, but he still believes that he loved to pester that person like this when he was a child. Maybe the other person didn't respond, maybe he spoke impatiently, or he was rarely gentle... In short, many memories of the past seem to be covered at this time A layer of water mist, indistinct, made him drowsy.
Even the sound of the child's wristband hitting the table when he was playing didn't wake him up.
In the evening, Teng Ning got out of the car along with the crowd, freed his hands and loosened his collar, feeling that the temperature outside seemed to be much higher, and his breathing became hotter during the process of rubbing shoulders.Unlike some passengers who were waiting for their families after exiting the station, he walked in a hurry and stopped a taxi straight away. He took his mobile phone with a little body temperature and lay it quietly in his pocket.
The driver is also a Beta, male, middle-aged, unsurprisingly very talkative: "...Are you going home on vacation? It's been raining for the past few days, and many students have come to take care of my business, saying that they want to be independent and won't let my family pick them up. Hey, the road to Jinrui Garden has just been repaired, and it takes a detour, it may be a bit far, don't you mind?"
"fine."
Teng Ning touched his wrist. Like the driver's, people like them wear light blue bracelets, Alpha is dark red, and Omega is a very harmless white to distinguish them.Not only that, but the wristband also has the function of suppressing odor, which has been followed by everyone since birth, helping them walk on the street without too many worries.
And his taste is orange, which is similar to the fruit smell of the same name that seems to be found everywhere. At first, it gives people a strong sense of presence, then gradually becomes sweet, and finally returns to peace. It is very light from the beginning to the end.
As for Alpha or Omega, it seems that the smell they carry tends to be more concentrated, such as rose and red wine, which are desperately drilled into people's noses.It is said that before effective tools for suppressing odors have not been developed, once people are affected by odors, disputes, chases, and even bloody farces are prone to occur.
It is because of the fear of this indelible nature engraved in genes, and the desire not to become a beast driven by desires, that later the world has a series of laws and developed technologies as restraints.
The driver in front didn't notice that Teng Ning was a little distracted, and he continued to chatter, showing a very bright smile on his face when talking about his family.
"Aren't you worried?" Teng Ning blurted out after noticing the words about children in the other party's words.
The driver turned the steering wheel to the left, and replied carelessly: "Of course not, he can like anyone in the future, as long as he likes it. Oh, it's not the old days, so there are so many things..." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Outside, the car parked slowly outside the door of the apartment area, "It's here, the car can't go in, so come here!"
The security guard still remembered Teng Ning, greeted him with a smile and said a few polite words when he entered the door.In fact, almost everyone here knows the members of the Teng family. They know that the older one is indifferent, with a slender body, deep eyes, and curved lips that make people feel unreasonably affectionate; the younger Teng Ning gives people a cheerful and lively feeling. The eyes are round, like a cat that is occasionally well-behaved and occasionally stretches its claws.
In particular, aunts and aunts like Teng Ning the most - a child from other people's family, whoever says anything is good.
Along the way, Teng Ning never stopped to smile politely or sincerely, just because he met neighbors who watched him grow up, it was inevitable that he would be dragged to chat.Only when he heard about introducing someone to that person, the corners of his mouth froze for a moment, and then returned to a smile in a blink of an eye: "...how dare I talk too much, for fear of being taught a lesson..."
Although his mood turned bad, Teng Ning quickly adjusted his expression, took a deep breath, and slowly took out the key to open the door.The housekeeper who had taken care of him and that person for many years walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron happily, and then came up to him and grabbed his arm: "You're back? Why don't you say anything, let—" She suddenly remembered What, frowned, pretended nothing happened and swallowed the second half of the sentence, with a kind look on his face again.
"I'm already in college." Teng Ning replied amusedly.
When was the last time you were picked up?It seems to be an entrance exam, the last subject is over, and the afternoon sun is particularly bright, scalding people from skin to mental laziness.He walked out of the school gate and found the other party's figure by accident.Even though he was elated, when he was in front of that person, he forcibly restrained the urge to rush over.
That cold-tempered person was just urged by his aunt, mixed with a little whim, and never acted like this again.Teng Ning firmly remembered that the other party called him by his name in a low voice and asked him how he was doing in the exam. The tone was very blunt and there was almost no emotional ups and downs, but it haunted him for a long time.
"Teng Ning." Suddenly came a cold voice.
His breathing suddenly sank a bit, his muscles tensed subconsciously, and he turned his head unnaturally: "...Uncle." After uttering this cry, he slowly calmed down, grinned habitually, and raised his voice, " I miss you so much!"
Teng Mushan happened to be on vacation today, and stayed in the study for a long time. He never thought that a nephew would come back. This little sun-like nephew is not really close.But the other party is willing to regard him as a close family member from the bottom of his heart. He has been studying abroad for half a year, and he is very enthusiastic when he comes back.
Seeing his uncle's iceberg face, Teng Ning didn't feel frustrated, instead he leaned over cheekily: "I brought a lot of specialties, I'll take them out to eat together later..."
The auntie helped pack the luggage, but she didn't notice that Teng Mushan quietly avoided Teng Ning's hand: "It must be another pile of snacks, ouch, I still have some from the post before! By the way, give them to us tonight." Ah Ning cooks a big meal, there are a lot of dishes, all of them are delicious."
"Hey, good." Teng Ning winked at her.
There was still some time before lunch, so he went back to his room and changed into home clothes. When he came out, he found Teng Mushan sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper. There was a fruit plate and several packages of unopened nuts on the coffee table in front of him. "What's the news here recently?" Teng Ning didn't have anything to say, so he deliberately got close to the other party, picked up a soft orange, peeled and split it, and bit it into his mouth, sizzling with sweet juice.He privately asked his aunt to buy it, and the nuts were also one of the things sent back, but Teng Mushan didn't seem to have tasted it.
Teng Mushan, a young but full-fledged veteran cadre, turned over a page with his bony hands, and turned the newspaper slightly to this side: "New Omega inhibitors." Because he is a doctor, most of the newspapers and periodicals he subscribes to at home are It is related to medical treatment. In the past, Teng Ning always felt that it was boring, even if he forced himself to read it, he would not be able to enjoy it.
"Oh." Teng Ning doesn't quite understand what's twisted and twisted here, maybe it symbolizes that Omega has a greater initiative in estrus?He turned his eyes away, and his eyes fell on Teng Mushan's bracelet - the other party seems to have never taken it off - in fact, Beta is the most ordinary and the most free, especially when it comes to partner choice, or more directly, whether it is related to sex or not. An Alpha or an Omega can experience pleasure, so many Betas are more sexually open.
The conservatory where Teng Ning works has never lacked such people. There are also men and women who want to pursue him. After being rejected, they immediately find another target. They are more greedy than butterflies chasing nectar, but they are so greedy that he is jealous.
It's a pity that Beta's perception of smell is relatively low, and her self-control ability is good.Teng Ning was thinking about Teng Mushan again, naturally ignoring others, and by accident, he got the unreal title of Gaoling Flower.
Seeing that the other party was immersed in his own world again, Teng Ning pursed his lips, lowered his head angrily and continued to eat the fruit plate, stirring the juice with his tongue, eating loudly.
At first Teng Mushan didn't pay attention, but then he realized that the person next to him was doing it on purpose, so he couldn't help frowning, but he never spoke.
Because he was unhappy, Teng Ning didn't realize that he had eaten all the oranges until he touched the empty space with his hand, and felt annoyed for a while.But after thinking about it, it was impossible for my uncle to see things and think about others. He was stunned for a moment, then took out a tissue to wipe the sticky marks on his fingers, and didn't worry about anything else.
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly. Teng Ning took it out and took a look, and quickly replied: "I forgot! Sorry, I'm already home."
As always, Teng Mushan didn't care about his nephew's circle of friends, even though Teng Ning pretended to be calm and glanced at him from time to time, he remained indifferent.It was the auntie who came out with the food, and seeing the weird and familiar scene of the two of them getting along, she said helplessly, "Sir, come over with Aning, don't worry about work!"
Obviously, Teng Mushan was indifferent to others, but he warmed up a little in front of his aunt and Teng Ning, and he did so honestly.
The two people who were able to enjoy such an honor had different reactions - the auntie was very pleased and greeted them with soup; Teng Ning was happy but dissatisfied, after a while, she still buried her head in her meal quietly.
