Part 4
It’s been half a month, Guan Jiaye and Bai Lu still haven’t made up, the cold war period that was briefly mentioned in the original text was described from Bai Lu’s perspective, what happened on Guan Jiaye’s side was not explained in the text, and Bai He also didn’t know what Guan Jiaye had been up to in the past half month.
The Guan family must be in a chaotic situation.
Thinking about it, the elevator opened, he retracted his gaze from above, following the flow of people out of the elevator, and quickly came to the company’s main entrance, the long stairs going down, Bai He looked around and found Bai Lu sitting on the long bench on the left.
As an omega, Bai Lu’s physique was small, curled up on the bench, if you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t see him. Bai He went over, and the other immediately looked up, his eyes filled with delight, “Brother!”
Bai He stood still, he glanced around, noticing the water delivery guy standing not far away.
“Is that your bodyguard?” he asked.
Bai Lu followed Bai He’s gaze and nodded, “Mm.”
Okay, the Bai family’s bodyguard moonlighting as a water delivery guy at Jinyu, the protagonist’s aura always appears in such bizarre places.
Bai He didn’t think too much about it, looking at the lost Bai Lu, “Why did you have the bodyguard come up and slip me a note? Where’s your phone?”
“It’s out of battery.” Bai Lu curled his fingers, saying pitifully, “I can’t get into Jinyu, the front desk told me to leave, waa…”
Bai He: “…”
He sighed, quite helplessly, “The bodyguard’s phone is out of battery too?”
“It has battery, but I can’t remember your number…” Bai Lu carefully observed Bai He’s expression, “I’m sorry, brother, I didn’t mean to forget, there are too many numbers in the contact list, and nowadays no one even bothers to remember those things…”
“No need to apologize, I didn’t consider that.” Bai He rubbed the bridge of his nose, “I didn’t remember your number either.”
Bai Lu dumbly “oh”ed.
“Why don’t you go home?” Bai He asked again.
This protagonist has indeed not returned home for half a month, Bai Qiu called Bai He in the middle. Although he knew Bai Lu had a bodyguard following him, not returning home for so long was also not right, Bai Qiu couldn’t get Bai Lu back, so he came to ask Bai He.
Bluntly saying he wanted Bai He to go catch Bai Lu, Bai He refused.
He himself had a lot of worries, no time to take care of others.
“Wouldn’t that mean giving in if I go back?” Bai Lu said in a low voice, sounding a bit like complaining, and also a trace of grievance could be heard, “Brother, I did try to be proactive as you said, but it seems he really doesn’t like me, that day he even—”
Unable to say it out loud, like a blocked boiling kettle, Bai Lu was depressed, his face full of disappointment and anger, “If he doesn’t like me, then he doesn’t like me, but why did he have to let me see him with another omega, so annoying…”
In the early part of the original text, Bai Lu was chasing after Guan Jiaye, seemingly a one-sided pursuit, but from the omniscient perspective of the reader, it was actually a mutual attraction quite early on, it’s just that Guan Jiaye, from head to toe, had the hardest mouth, occasionally even sarcastic, stubbornly refusing to open his mouth.
Bai He hadn’t finished the novel, he predicted that in the later part there would definitely be a “chasing the wife” plot, just wait, it would happen sooner or later.
Looking at the gloomy Bai Lu in front of him, Bai He sighed inwardly, thinking that one was a hard-mouthed person, and this one was a fool.
“It seems you’ve forgotten something.” Bai He crossed his arms, “That day he came to my house looking for you.”
Bai Lu looked up at that, blinking, “What?”
Bai He: “…”
How to say, that day the two of them were hugging and biting each other’s mouths at his doorstep?
They had already kissed, how could Bai Lu not see that Guan Jiaye was interested in him?
So you see, the setting is harmful, one is hard-mouthed, the other is a silly and sweet fool.
Forget it, better not get involved in the protagonist’s affairs, life is precious, Bai He shook his head, and said again, “So you don’t go home, it’s just that you don’t want to give in?”
“Yes!” Bai Lu raised his head, looking extremely angry, “If I go back, he must come find me right away, why should I give him that chance! I’m so angry now! I don’t want to like him anymore! Ptooey! Scumbag!! He kissed me and then went to find another omega!! I curse him to be impotent for the rest of his life!!”
Bai He: “…”
So he knows about the kissing incident?
“Brother, dad has frozen my card.” Bai Lu deflated again, blinking his eyes, carefully observing Bai He’s expression, “Can I…”
“No.” Bai He interrupted Bai Lu’s hopes, as soon as he spoke, he closed his eyes, “You and Guan Jiaye are in a cold war, not with your dad and grandpa, not going home for half a month, do you think they won’t be worried?”
“Dad knows where I am, his bodyguard follows me every day.” Bai Lu pouted, “And besides, you can rent a house outside, why can’t I, they don’t care about you, why do they have to care about me…”
Bai He remained silent, his expression becoming a little colder.
Bai Lu immediately covered his mouth, staring blankly at Bai He, his voice much smaller, “I’m sorry, brother, I didn’t mean that.”
“I can support myself, can you?” Bai He said indifferently, “You’re right, they indeed don’t care about me, perhaps because you’re the real family.”
“Brother, I…”
“I know you didn’t mean it that way.” Bai He’s face was expressionless, “But sorry, listeners have intentions, my mind is narrow, please forgive me.”
Not joking, Bai He was angry, he had been troubled lately, so he deliberately kept himself busy, in order not to think about those sad and heartbreaking things.
Being too busy, his body became fatigued, and his mind was also accumulating negative emotions, Bai He’s physique was not good to begin with, both physically and mentally he was not doing well, even if his temper was good, he would rebound and find an explosion point.
He originally had no obligation to care about the people the original owner knew, thinking carefully, the original owner’s life wasn’t going smoothly either, the attitude of the people at home towards the original owner was only superficially harmonious, in reality they didn’t care at all, otherwise such a capable protagonist, in the end became a sacrifice to drive the protagonist’s emotional line.
So even from the original owner’s perspective, he had no reason to be polite to this group of people.
No mutual obligation, love however you want, Bai He waved his hand, “Go home, don’t bother me.”
“I’m sorry, brother!”
Seeing Bai He turn to leave, Bai Lu hurriedly stood up and grabbed Bai He’s arm, “Brother, let me stay at your place for one night, just one night, I…”
The omega’s voice was anxious, with a hint of crying, he was truly aggrieved, “I can’t go back today, tomorrow, okay…”
Bai He pressed his lips tightly, frowning as he turned around, “Why can’t you go back today, what’s the reason?”
Bai Lu’s lips opened and closed, bowing his head without speaking.
“Is it that you can’t go back today, or you don’t want to go back.” Bai He bluntly exposed the truth, “Do you think as long as you can successfully stay at my place, you can keep clinging on?”
“Brother, am I such a person in your heart?” Bai Lu suddenly looked up.
“Aren’t you?” Bai He counter-questioned.
