ABO diurnal boundary
Chapter 68
There are still many complicated and trivial procedures to go before the formal banquet begins.
The bride's parents died early, so it was her twin brother who accompanied her as an immediate family member.The handsome and straight Alpha youth handed over his younger sister to the gentle groom. The hands of the two families were firmly held together, and each other was full of tears.
While everyone's attention was on the stage, Xie Jingchi quietly stood up and left the noisy banquet hall.
Thanks to the relative remoteness of the seat, no one noticed that he left the seat halfway.
The location of the bathroom was very remote. He followed the waiter's instructions and walked around the long corridor to the west side of the manor.
The amber dim light quietly illuminates the white marble washstand.
Xie Jingchi picked up a handful of cold water and poured it on his face, the warm water soothed his nerves that had been tense since the morning.
He reluctantly opened his eyes, the person in the mirror was pale and haggard, his eyelashes stuck together, trembling nervously, only his lips were abnormally red.
The swelling and pain at the back of the neck became more and more intense. He put his hands on the neckline, and because his hands were shaking so badly, he couldn't grasp the small button no matter what.
As he expected, the skin on the back of his neck was slightly pink, especially the small protrusion, which was so plump and swollen that it seemed that it would break with a little force.
One of the side effects of cilantazole, one week to half a month after stopping the drug, the pheromone level in Omega's body will suddenly rise to an abnormal level.
He took the blocker spray at his glands and sprayed it several times, and the bitter taste in his nasal cavity completely neutralized the sweet smell on his body.
After confirming that his pheromone was completely hidden, he breathed a sigh of relief, arranged his clothes and left the empty bathroom.
There was someone at the corner ahead, and he had already stepped out before he could react.
Fortunately, the person over there took a step back in time, so he didn't throw himself into the opponent's arms embarrassingly.
This man is tall, Xie Jingchi with his head down can only see his Adam's apple and clean-shaven chin.
It's a man, a very handsome man, and he is someone he knows... It's not accurate to say that they know each other. They used to be the two closest people in this world.
The neat iron gray high-end suit and dark red silk tie are not like many middle-aged entrepreneurs who sometimes make jokes in such formal occasions. Even without relying on a professional styling team, Qin Shen's clothing taste is among the people Xie Jingchi knows The best column.
Because they were very close, Xie Jingchi smelled a strong and spicy smell of smoke.
He looked over Qin Shen's shoulder and saw a door with a smoking room sign.The door to the smoking room was ajar, apparently just being used.
it is as expected.He would not pretend to be affectionate and feel that Qin Shen came out to find him specially, but he still felt a sense of emptiness and loss unavoidably.
"Come out to smoke?"
Meeting on a narrow road, with no way out, he pretended to be okay and greeted this person, and even showed a little polite smile.
"..."
After a long time without getting a response, the smile on Xie Jingchi's face disappeared.He stopped talking, and stared at the man silently.
Probably because of the backlight, Qin Shen's eyes were very dark, and his pupils were dark, like opaque spots.
Only then did he realize that his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the other party, not even letting go of the edges.
In a secluded corner of the manor, even the waiters would not pass by. He and Qin Shen were alone.
Qin Shen's expression was filled with indescribable cruelty. At this moment, countless horrifying images flashed through his mind.
For example, the person in front of him was not the one he knew.But how is this possible?Xie Jingchi felt that he either overreacted or had too many associations.
It may also be that he has been under a lot of mental pressure recently...
After a long time, Qin Shen turned his head sideways, cutting off the line of sight between the two of them, and Xie Jingchi's high-hanging heart fell suddenly.
Xie Jingchi noticed that his Adam's apple moved slightly.
A harbinger of predation by large beasts.
"Does it hurt?" Qin Shen's voice was hoarse, and Xie Jingchi's ears felt hot.
Xie Jingchi looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was referring to.
Qin Shen pointed to his neck, "Doing that operation...does it hurt?"
It took a while for Xie Jing to realize what he was referring to.
Qin Shen was sitting next to him just now, so he must have smelled the pheromones on his body.
As an Alpha with keen senses, Qin Shen must have noticed the change in his pheromone.
"It doesn't hurt very much." Xie Jingchi bit his lip and said in a low voice, "Really."
The operation was under general anesthesia. After the anesthesia wore off, there was a brief pain for a few days, but it was all tolerable.
Worse than the pain was the itching that went deep into the bone marrow when the wound healed, like countless small bugs crawling over it, but he would not tell this person in detail like in the past.
In the past, he expressed some of his feelings in order to get the desired response, but now... he no longer expects extravagantly.
"Go back, it's not good to be out for too long." As he expected, Qin Shen turned around, leaving him with an indifferent back.
While Xie Jingchi was following, he accidentally caught a glimpse of his left hand tightly clenched by his side, the back of his hand was covered with veins due to excessive force.
In the summer two years ago, he took care of the injured Qin Shen for a long time, knowing that it meant enduring the pain.
Qin Shen walked in front of him, and there was always a little more than one step between them.
Looking at his tall and straight back, Xie Jingchi was once again overwhelmed by confusion.
What is this man enduring?He didn't touch him from the beginning to the end, so where would it hurt?
Or was this person injured again where he couldn't see it?
Returning to the brightly lit place, Xie Jingchi blinked uncomfortably.
Qin Shen pulled out the chair for him like a considerate husband, watched him sit down before sitting back in his seat.
Zhao Yuan on the stage noticed the episode on their side, and gave Xie Jingchi a tacit wink.
Xie Jingchi thought that he and Qin Shen didn't bother to cover it up, but Zhao Yuan still hasn't discovered the fact that they are actually inseparable.
During their absence, the family members, witnesses, and the bride and groom have all finished their speeches. At the end of the wedding, the new people need to exchange rings and kiss under the eyes of everyone.
The powerful and beautiful bride put her arms around her husband's waist, and lowered her head to stick to her husband's waist.
Because of the angle, not many people actually saw them kissing, but this did not prevent everyone from clapping and applauding for them.
At the moment of separation, the cheeks of both of them were flushed, and the dodging eyes were full of shyness and joy.
At the same time as the master of ceremonies announced the completion of the ceremony, the waiters who had been waiting outside for a long time came in with plates and began to serve meals.
When all the dishes were served, the couple began to toast table by table with cups in hand.
At the table of Xie Jingchi and Qin Shen, Xie Jingchi noticed that the bride toasted with her left hand, while the groom used his right hand.
This is because...their hands under the table are still tightly held and never separated.
The sad and funny Xie Jingchi clinked glasses with the two of them in turn, and then accidentally discovered that the groom was talking about cheers, but actually didn't touch a drop, whether it was as much or as much as there should be in the glass.
"Shhh." The gorgeous Alpha bride made a silent gesture to Xie Jingchi, and whispered furtively, "He has a bad stomach, and his stomach will bleed if he drinks too much."
After seeing off the loving couple, Xie Jingchi didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.
He didn't even notice that his favorite shrimp turned in front of him.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Shen asked suddenly, interrupting his thoughts.
"It's nothing." Xie Jingchi was surprised that he would talk to himself, "It's just..." a little envious.
Fortunately, he still has a little sense and didn't say it directly.
On the day of receiving the certificate, Qin Shen asked him to choose, and it was he who decided not to get married.
In fact, he also knew that even if he held a wedding with Qin Shen, it would not be as happy as this: the immediate family members of him and Qin Shen either had Alzheimer's disease, or they were pure scum, and most importantly, the newlyweds had no relationship with each other. When you fall in love, you only see each other in your eyes.
Qin Shen was noncommittal, and put a peeled peony shrimp on his plate.
In the past, every time he went out to socialize with Qin Shen, Qin Shen would watch him eat like this after finishing his business, even if he said he was not hungry.
Xie Jingchi was a little embarrassed and at a loss, but in order not to disobey the other party's kindness, he still ate the shrimp.
The moment his plate was empty, another shrimp came in, Xie Jingchi shook his hand and almost knocked off his chopsticks.
Qin Shen peeled the prawns for him one by one, and didn't feel that such behavior was inappropriate for their couple who were about to divorce.
Looking at his focused eyebrows, Xie Jingchi's "no need" got stuck in his throat several times.
Is this for Zhao Yuan and others to see?What's the point? After this time, they will be separated, and then they will go to the court to apply for the dissolution of their marriage...
It can't be hidden for a while, and other people will know about their separation sooner or later.
"Xie Jingchi, you don't need to do this." After peeling four or five prawns, seeing that Xie Jingchi didn't really want to eat any more, Qin Shen stopped and wiped his hands with a wet towel.
Xie Jingchi's hand to grab the cup stopped in mid-air, "Indeed." His stomach was heavy, and he felt a little nauseous.
Qin Shen is right, he really doesn't need to regret it, because everything is destined to come to an end.
The banquet lasted until three or four o'clock.
In the afternoon, Xie Jingchi still met Zhao Yuan's youngest son who was about to graduate.
I didn't know it until I met him, but Zhao Yuan's youngest son turned out to be his elementary school brother.He left Qin Shen outside and chatted with Zhao Yuan's youngest son in the room for a long time.When he came out, Qin Shen didn't know where he went.
He might be gone, or he might be talking with other people. He didn't really want to know, so he went to the lounge to sleep for a while to replenish the energy he needed at night.
The evening buffet cocktail party lasted until late at night.
Zhao Yuan's partner was not in good health, so he went to bed early at this point, so he and the bride's brother were responsible for seeing off the guests.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Zhao Yuan asked many guests present, but Xie Jingchi was skipped, and he didn't ask whether he would stay overnight or go back.
Xie Jingchi drank some wine in the evening, but now the alcohol was getting stronger, his mind was not as clear-headed as usual.
Suddenly someone grabbed his wrist and led him towards him.
"I'll take you back."
He raised his head and saw Qin Shen's expressionless face.
Even when he was drunk, he still remembered that Qin Shen was still his husband in name at that time, and he didn't resist too fiercely.
Qin Shen's body is very hot, at least hotter than his.He suppressed some emotions, complained a few words, and obediently followed this man out of the manor.
Qin Shen opened the car door for him first.
It's the passenger seat.
"Where's the driver?" Xie Jingchi didn't know what kind of arrangements and plans this person had, but it shouldn't be like this anyway.
Qin Shen pressed him to sit in, and when he sat down, he bent down and buckled his seat belt.
"I have a driver's license." Seeing him twisting his body restlessly, Qin Shen said so.
"You..." Xie Jingchi remembered that drunk driving is not allowed.
"Xie Jingchi, I didn't drink." Having said that that day, Qin Shen's brows and eyes were immersed in the thick night, "Didn't you even look at me?"
Xie Jingchi wanted to say that he had read it.But what's the use of seeing it, he never understood this person.
After Qin Shen settled him down, he walked around to the other side and got into the car.
"Where do you live? I'll send you there."
Xie Jingchi didn't tell him the detailed address, but just asked him to take him to the street near the hotel.
"I thought you would go to Lu Xu's house to borrow."
"I don't want to trouble him." Lu Xu and his aunt went on a trip, and they won't be back until mid-August. Xie Jingchi didn't want to disturb him when he was not around.
Qin Shen was silent for a long time, and said such an ambiguous sentence, "Then you can trouble..."
Xie Jingchi waited for a long time but did not get the second half of his sentence.
The car started, Xie Jingchi was overwhelmed by the alcohol, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep for a while.
It takes at least an hour to travel from the outskirts of the city to the city center. After an unknown amount of time, Xie Jingchi woke up from his dream.
In the dream, he broke out in a big cold sweat, and before his disordered breathing rhythm had been adjusted, a colorful neon flashed past his eyes.
He turned his head, and in the thick night, the towering streamlined building stood out like a flock of chickens. It was the largest LED screen in the city. He didn't know what was displayed on it. In short, it was colorful, like clouds and mist. The flower clusters change treacherously.
Even though he didn't often live in Yungang City these few years, he also knew one thing, that is, the way back to the hotel would never pass the Mijiang Bridge and Tianning Building.
The bride's parents died early, so it was her twin brother who accompanied her as an immediate family member.The handsome and straight Alpha youth handed over his younger sister to the gentle groom. The hands of the two families were firmly held together, and each other was full of tears.
