​​As soon as the beef was stewed, the doorbell rang.

Shen Dai opened the door. Bai Xiangwan and Xiao Die stood at the door with a smile. Suddenly, the three of them remembered that this scene had appeared countless times when they were in Lancheng and they couldn’t help feeling a little emotional.

Bai Xiangwan was wearing a suit today and his hair was styled with hairspray. The whole person presented a straight-forward, handsome, and excellent temperament, which was in great contrast to his usual casual and unruly appearance. His stature and appearance are all outstanding, but the attributes of a science and engineering man are still more prominent. His hair is cut by the barber shop at the entrance of the institution and his clothes which are put on his body are of whenever he catches. People around him often persuade him not to waste his natural good skin and to take care of himself. But he is too lazy to think about it. This kind of specially styled state must be done in order for him to meet important people.

“Wow, Teacher Shen.” Xiao Die came up and hugged Shen Dai excitedly, “It feels like I’ve been separated from you for a long time.”

“It’s only been over a month.” Shen Dai smiled and looked at her, “Xiao Die seems to have lost a bit of weight. It seems that your plan for weight loss is very effective.”

“I lost six pounds! Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu! Let me see how much he gained.”

“The guest bedroom on the left. You can go and play with him.”

Xiao Die changed her shoes and ran in.

Shen Dai and Bai Xiangwan looked at each other. And then looked away awkwardly: “Brother Bai, come in.”

Bai Xiangwan entered the room and handed the things in his hand to Shen Dai: “I brought some of your favourite food from Lancheng.”

Shen Dai saw a familiar packaging bag at a glance and said in surprise, “Isn’t this the sauce duck from the house downstairs? You remember?”

“Why won’t I remember?” Bai Xiangwan smiled and looked at Shen Dai, “Where’s Zimei?”

“She just told me that she has to work overtime and will be back later.” Shen Dai teased, “Brother Bai is so handsome today.”

“There’s a dinner meeting at noon.” Bai Xiangwan seemed a little embarrassed. He took off his jacket, “The suit was custom-made for an event the year before. And Xiao Die styled my hair for me. I’m really not used to dressing like this. I’m not comfortable.”

“You will only feel comfortable by just putting on a white coat.” Shen Dai took his coat with a smile and helped him hang it up, “You wanna go and see Qiuqiu?”

Bai Xiangwan hesitated for a moment: “I’ll take a look at you first.”

Shen Dai was startled. He knew that Bai Xiangwan had something to say: “Sit down.”

Bai Xiangwan sat on the sofa. He looked at Shen Dai with a gentle gaze: “Your complexion has improved. And it seems that you have gained some weight.”

“Now that Qiuqiu is watched by a nanny at night, after not staying up late, he is really in better spirits.” Shen Dai looked at Bai Xiangwan, a little hard to say, “I went back to work at the teacher’s place.”

Bai Xiangwan smiled reluctantly: “I heard so from the teacher. So… is this a good choice for you?”

Shen Dai could hear that the ‘choice’ in Bai Xiangwan’s mouth was not meant for the topic of him returning to Liu Xi’s place to work, but him returning to live by Qu Moyu’s side. He could pretend he didn’t understand, but he didn’t want to avoid it. Especially to someone who had helped him a lot and really cared about him, he said, “Senior Brother Bai, I have decided to stay in Lancheng before, but now… …it’s not my ‘choice’ really. I don’t have a choice.”

Bai Xiangwan’s two sword brows frowned. Anger flashed in his eyes and finally turned into helplessness: “I understand. After all… you have a child.”

Shen Dai twisted his fingers tightly: “I’m just sorry for disappointing Senior Brother Bai.”

“It’s alright. We’ve known each other for so many years. From college to now, I’ve always been very optimistic about you.” Bai Xiangwan looked at Shen Dai deeply and there were unspeakable feelings hidden in it, “I just hope you will have a good life.”

Shen Dai said lightly, “It will get better.”

“I’ll go see Qiuqiu now.”

It is said that children don’t remember things much, but Qiuqiu clearly remembers Xiao Die and Bai Xiangwan. When he was held by Xiao Die, his mouth was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. As soon as Bai Xiangwan entered the room, he could smell the sufficient safety for him. The pheromones of white elm… he was so excited that he babbled.

Bai Xiangwan took Qiuqiu from Xiao Die’s arms and the room was full of coaxes. Shen Dai watched from the side with a smile on his face. He originally thought that the time in Lancheng was the most difficult time in his life. Now, looking back, although he suffered a lot of physical and psychological pain, his friends were selfless. Help was really valuable, no matter how tired he was, at least he had no anxiety and anger in his heart. At least he was relatively free.

He really wished he hadn’t come back.

Xiao Die said, “Mr. Shen, are you ready for dinner? I’ll help you.”

“It’s almost ready. Come and help me make soup.”

The two walked into the kitchen, Xiao Die lowered her voice and said, “Mr. Shen, when is your estrus date? Is it set?”

“It’s not something I can decide.” Shen Dai couldn’t help laughing, “It’s probably tomorrow or the day after.”

“I’ve never taken care of an omega at home. I have omega friends, but I didn’t accompany them during the estrus period. You teach me how to do it, okay?”

“Don’t be nervous. I just want you to help me take care of Qiuqiu, not me. I can handle my own situation myself.” Shen Dai said, “I will call you then. If it happens to be during the meeting, have you thought about how to ask your teacher for leave?”

“I will say I’m not feeling well.”

“Xiao Die, sorry for troubling you.” Shen Dai said, feeling a little ashamed, “You came all the way here and I need you to help me take care of the child.”

“What’s the matter with that? Don’t you also pay for my salary?” Xiao Die smiled, “And I like children, especially Qiuqiu.”

“Well, when you come here, first, don’t let Senior Brother Bai know. And second, don’t be too nervous about me.” Shen Dai urged, “I will have some reactions, such as looking like I’m sick, uncomfortable and weak. Occasionally, I will lose consciousness. These are normal. You don’t need to worry about me. I will take the inhibitor and it will pass after a day.”

Xiao Die was stunned for a moment: “It sounds so serious. Is it always like this in the estrus period?”

“It’s always like this.” Shen Dai added in his heart; it’s always like this in the estrus period without alpha.

“Okay, I’ll do some homework ahead of time.”

Shen Dai smiled: “Don’t worry. You can just take care of Qiuqiu.”

After dinner was done, they chatted while eating. Cheng Zimei came back halfway through the meal and the three of them recalled their college days together. At that time, Bai Xiangwan was the number one male god of their department. Not only was he tall and handsome, but the key was that he was the number one achiever in his major. He also got his direct PhD and he was hired by Xingzhou Research Institute with an annual salary of one million upon graduation. The combination was dazzling.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiangwan did not stay in the capital. But he chose to open up a new mining area in Lancheng, which has nothing. Time has proved that this step has gone well. The capital already has his teacher Liu Xi and he will have to endure for many years. He got an independent subject, but his ambition forced him to stretch his wings and fly higher.

Shen Dai admires and yearns to be like Bai Xiangwan. He knows that his talent is a little worse than that of Bai Xiangwan, but he is not completely out of reach. This is his example of hard work.

When they were in college, they did an experiment together for a year. At that time, he had a crush on Bai Xiangwan. He guessed that Cheng Zimei was the same. At that time, Bai Xiangwan had a beta boyfriend and he was soon hit hard by a sudden family change.

Unexpectedly, after many years, they each have a different future. They have experienced so many things yet they can still sit at a table and talk about the past.

Some people have made great strides along the way, such as Bai Xiangwan. Others are slow, but mostly smooth, such as Cheng Zimei. Some people encounter bumps and bumps and sometimes take detours, but they will still meet on a certain road at a certain moment. They clink glasses, and then each embark on a different journey. That’s the wonder of life.

***

They chatted until very late that day and after sending people away, Shen Dai took a shower and hurriedly lay down. At dinner, in order not to let Bai Xiangwan see the difference, he reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of meat, which made his stomach feel uncomfortable again.

Before going to bed, he turned on the phone that had been muted and saw Qu Moyu’s missed calls and several WeChat messages. He asked him what he was doing, how Qiuqiu was, and how his grandmother was. The last WeChat message was sent ten minutes ago. The content is: If you don’t answer the phone and don’t reply to the messages, I will go to you directly next time.

Shen Dai quickly replied: Everything is fine.

Shen Dai looked at the dialog box showing that he was typing, stopped typing for a long time, then started typing again, and finally sent a message: Rest early.

Shen Dai replied: Okay.

Shen Dai was a little impetuous in his heart. He had too many things to worry about and it was difficult to calm down. He turned off the light, closed his eyes, and unsurely opened the bedside table. After groping for his own inhibitor, he forced himself to fall asleep.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Dai felt that something was wrong and the familiar reaction began to hit his body. He took a tube of an inhibitor. He usually took a dose first. If the symptoms do not subside after four or five hours, he will take another one. After all, this thing will harm the body if taken excessively.

He was sweating all over and his hands and feet started to feel weak. He first went to see Qiuqiu who was sleeping and then sent Xiao Die a message.

Qiuqiu seemed to feel his omega father’s abnormal pheromone fluctuations in his sleep and there were signs of him waking up. Shen Dai hurriedly left and locked himself in the guest room. The blood was rushing fast and he felt the world spinning for a moment. He had to shrink into the quilt.

Half an hour later, Xiao Die came. She ran into the room, looked at Shen Dai who was curled up in the quilt with his back to her, and asked worriedly, “Mr. Shen, how are you?”

Shen Dai said in a trembling voice, “I’m okay.”

Desires began to come in waves and Shen Dai felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. It seemed that ants were crawling on his sensitive parts and his body was screaming unspeakable desires.

The inhibitor will take effect in about an hour. If the suppression effect is not enough, he will have to take another one. If it is really uncomfortable, he just needs to relieve himself. Shen Dai is already familiar with all the experiences in this process, but he still clearly feels that this time, the estrus period is very violent. Perhaps because he has not had his estrus for more than a year and the delayed desire will fight back fiercely.

Xiao Die cautiously walked around to the other side of the bed and saw Shen Dai’s pale complexion. His breath was uneven and his hair was wet. She was startled: “Mr. Shen, you… are you all right?”

He can’t blame Xiao Die for making a fuss. For a person who has never seen an omega in heat, Shen Dai really looks like he has a high fever. He looks very painful and haggard.

Shen Dai couldn’t care less about being embarrassed at this time. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine. Can you help me watch Qiuqiu?”

“Okay, okay. Just call me if you need anything. No, if it doesn’t work, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Shen Dai buried his face in the quilt.
