[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

The sound of the waves came one after another, as if they were coming from afar, and seemed to be churning right under him.

The Silver Sparrow was awakened by the sound of the waves.

The senses all over his body returned the moment he became conscious, and it wasn't the injury on his waist that made him feel uncomfortable first, but the light shining on his eyes.He hadn't opened his eyes yet, but he felt it was dazzling; he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and the back of his hand touched the soft gauze.

"...!"

He woke up suddenly and sat up as if he had been greatly frightened.

The wound on his waist was in severe pain, Yinque clutched his waist, and let out a hoarse sob from his throat.

——he didn't die.

The pain was telling him that he was still alive.

Yinque lowered his head, and in his blurry vision, he saw that the front of his clothes was open, several scratches on his chest and abdomen had scabbed over, his waist was wrapped with thick gauze, and the oozing blood had already dried up.He touched his right eye again, and could feel that it was empty under the gauze cover.

The memory before the complete fainting came back suddenly, and the ups and downs of Yinque's chest gradually calmed down.

He was sitting in the cabin of the cargo ship, and there was no one else around, and he could faintly hear the voices of the crew outside, as well as the endless sound of waves.

It took a long time before he felt the joy of the rest of his life dully. Covering the hole in his right eye, Yinque lowered his head and laughed in a low voice.Every time he laughs, it will inevitably cause pain in the wound. He seems to be panting, and the dry laughter rings intermittently in the cabin.

"Master...!" The cabin door was suddenly pushed open, and a man appeared at the door with a tray, "You're awake!"

"Ah." Yinque restrained her smile, and replied solemnly, "We... how did we escape?"

The appearance of the man was not much better than his. His right arm and shoulder were wrapped in thick bandages, and he only wore burlap clothes. There were also many scratches on his waist and abdomen.But Yinque guessed that the man's back should be even uglier, he still remembered how the other party protected him in his arms when he rolled down the hill.

His dutiful entourage.

His presumptuous entourage.

Qian Qiu put the tray on the simple wooden table beside the bed, inside there were many bottles and jars, gauze scissors.

"The young master has been asleep for two days, and now he is on the boat back to the capital, and he will be back soon." Qianqiu pointed to the tray, "Can I change the medicine for the young master?"

"……Um."

The man sat down beside him, the cold scissors pressed against his skin, and cut off the gauze.

He was meticulous and careful, as if he was treating a glass artwork, for fear of hurting Yinque: "The people arranged by the young master heard the movement of the fight, and found a trap nearby..."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot."

Yinque said softly, watching the man's hand remove the gauze with a blank expression, looking at his ferocious wound with blood scabs.

"Did you handle all of these?"

"Yes……"

"Didn't that read me all over?"

"It's a last resort..." the man whispered, "I'm sorry, young master."

"Hey——was that kiss yesterday was a last resort?" Yinque said lazily, with a subtle tone, making it impossible to guess the meaning behind him.

Qianqiu stopped her hand, raised her eyes cautiously to look at Yinque.

Even though his right eye was wrapped in gauze, even though his bloodless lips were pale, this face still made Qianqiu's heart palpitate.

Yinque frowned: "...I was really going crazy yesterday; what about you? Are you crazy too?"

"Sorry……"

"Continue," Yinque said, "change the medicine first."

"Yes."

For a few seconds, Qianqiu was at a loss; but when he hurriedly lowered his head and saw Yinque's wound again, he suddenly calmed down again.It was his lack of ability that caused Yinque to be injured; it was also he who almost gave up on surviving yesterday and offended Yinque.As a Beta, he has no means to comfort the injured Silver Sparrow, but as an Alpha, he can at least use pheromones to comfort the frightened Omega.

But the most important thing is - in that long and careful kiss, he has crossed the limit that must not be crossed from body to heart.

While the man was busy with his head bowed, Yinque's eyes fell on the faintly visible scar between his side hair.

The other party's words last night were vivid in his ears, constantly disturbing his thoughts.Thinking of last night when he peeled off his guard in a state of confusion and let a Beta kiss him, his chest was filled with depression.If it was just because the other party overstepped, he should be very annoyed; but he didn't feel that way, instead, he noticed his own faint impulse when the two were alone in front of him.

He wanted to try again and kiss Qianqiu.

It was the appearance of this thought that made Yinque feel uncomfortable.

--Untrustworthy.He knew that he couldn't trust anyone.

——He can't hand the knife towards himself to others.

"Master, it's all right..."

Yinque tightened his clothes and said softly, "You also dealt with my right eye?"

"Yes..." Qianqiu said, "I didn't let anyone see it."

"Why are you treating the wound?"

"..." The man couldn't answer, "...Maybe it was because people were often injured in the port before, and everyone took care of it by themselves..."

"cigarette."

Qianqiu didn't ask other questions, and didn't dissuade him, just took out the cigarettes prepared on the boat according to his words: "This ship is another cargo ship, there is no BASA on board, I am very sorry."

"I know, I don't have the habit of embarrassing my servants."

The man held a lighter and lit the dark blue fire in front of Yinque.

But Yinque turned her head away, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Is this how I usually let you serve me?"

Qian Qiu was stunned.

He is really not good at expressing emotions, and when he was stabbed by this understatement question, he didn't show any expression.He just stood up with his head down, just like when he saw Yinque for the first time, knelt in front of him, and lit the cigarette for him respectfully and humbly.

"Huh..." Yinque said, "You have to recognize one thing, I will not fall in love with anyone, let alone allow people around me to have thoughts other than loyalty to me. But you saved me, and I chose rights; to stay with me and be a falcon dog, or to leave and start a family."

"...I will always be the young master's dog."

"Look up and answer me."

Qian Qiu finally raised his head, his expression changed in the blink of an eye, showing a smirk that he hadn't seen for a long time: "I will always be the young master's dog."

It's just that no matter how many times Qianqiu has practiced, there is no smile in those eyes, so people can easily detect that this is fake and made.

The relationship is perfectly reset at this moment.

Yinque then breathed out the smoke and sighed: "I want to go out and enjoy some wind."

"Okay." The man obediently held up his feet and put on the shoes for him.

-

Wangdu, in a private villa on the outskirts of the city.

"Go to the left... and go to the right, well, it's good, try turning around." Carlo breathed lightly, saw Yinque subconsciously blinking, and finally straightened up and took off his gloves.

"...Not very comfortable." Yinque said.

"The material is different. You just make do with it, my young master.... You suddenly came to me to ask for a new prosthetic eye. You also have to consider the production time. That one is my proudest creation. You just deal with it for three days, and after three days a new one will be ready."

Yinque frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

Carlo examined his oculus and inserted a new prosthetic eye into the cavity in his right eye.

"Is that your new follower outside?"

"Ah."

"You switched to Alpha? By the way, solve your passion period?"

Carlo is Yinque's prosthetic eye doctor, and he also works as a doctor on the sideline. The two have been dating for ten years.In front of Yinque, he can't be regarded as a subordinate, but only as a customer and businessman, so he speaks freely and casually.

And he was the only Alpha who had any relationship with Silver Sparrow.

"He's Beta." Silver Sparrow said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Haha, just kidding." Carlo said, rubbing his feet on the ground and pushing the chair to the other side, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Yinque, "It's better to stay with me for a few days, and the cost is still the same as It’s the same as before, you can go back when the new one is ready.”

"I think so too," Yinque said, "I can't go out with this eye."

Yinque's pupils are dark brown, but this one is temporarily dark blue, which looks very weird.

"There are also customers who came to ask me to make different-color pupils, saying that it has a special aesthetic feeling."

Carlo is a rather lazy fellow, who charges expensively for his workmanship, and lives well, though not much, in business.

There are many camellias planted in his garden, which are in flowering season, and the garden is full of colorful flowers.

Yinque was unable to move because of his waist injury, so Carlo simply let him sit in a wheelchair for the past few days.

When Yinque was pushed into the garden by him, Qianqiu was standing among the colorful flowers, with his back to them.Just when the wind was blowing, the man stood quietly amidst the rustling of flowers and leaves, not noticing their arrival.The wind tousled his slightly long hair and ruffled the hem of his clothes.

For some reason, Yinque suddenly recalled the face he saw after flipping Qianqiu's hair that day in the small shop on Wilta Street.

Carlo whispered in his ear: "You have a very good temperament, you deserve to be your man."

"You can go to work, as soon as possible, I hate waiting."

"Okay, then call me if you need anything, Master Yinque." Carlo said with a smile, "Beta over there, come over and watch over your young master, he can't move now."

The man turned around abruptly, nodded his head as a signal, and walked quickly towards Yinque.

"Master."

"Push me for a walk in the garden." Yinque said.

In order to facilitate dressing changes, Yinque was wearing a simple loose hospital gown, and Qianqiu pushed him slowly on the stone path in the garden, and he could see the back of his neck when he lowered his eyes.The scar hidden under the collar still makes Qianqiu feel dazzling.

Both master and servant kept a subtle silence, as if they were sincerely admiring the camellias in the garden.

It's just a pity that the sky is gloomy, and maybe there will be a heavy rain soon.

Suddenly, Yinque raised his hand to cover the gland, and moved his neck twice, as if aware of the man's naked gaze.

"I've thought about it for a while," Yinque said thoughtfully, "There may be some things that needn't be said, you should know what to do; but I'll remind you again."

"Master, please tell me."

"I don't want a third person to know about this eye, everything I said in the trap, and everything we did." Yinque said lightly, "Be sure, keep it a secret."

These words were expected by Qianqiu, but he did not expect that these words from Yinque's mouth seemed to contain some kind of magical power.

The moment the words "keep a secret" came into his hearing, his brain was in severe pain as if someone had forcefully pried it open.Something was stuffed into his head along with these light four words, and he couldn't see or hear anything for a moment, he could only hold tightly to the push handle of the wheelchair, and his feet froze in place like roots.

Yinque was about to ask him why he stopped when a thunderclap struck the distant sky, which was very frightening.

Heavy rain is coming.

Thousands of images were connected in random series in the man's mind, and countless words were intertwined and echoed, as if someone had poured memories that did not belong to him into his mind.

The pain went down quickly, replaced by the most critical sentence in memory——

"When Cheng Yinque asks you to keep a secret, you will know who you are and what you should do."

…………

"Qianqiu? Qianqiu!" Yinque turned his head impatiently without any response from the man, "What are you thinking, it's going to rain!"

"..." The man suddenly came back to his senses, and said hastily, "I'll push you back."

The wheelchair turned and accelerated towards the building.

Behind Yinque's invisible back, the man couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his eyes hidden under the shadow of his hair revealed the excitement of hunting wild beasts.When he looked at the tiny scar on the edge of Silver Sparrow's collar again, the impulse roared in his blood.

The man sniffed the scent of licorice, licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, and took a deep breath.

——Everything is as he expected.
