Shiratori

How a single Omega with a mark should live is actually not an unsolvable problem.

There will always be people who lose their spouses, and some people will be abandoned by their families and partners. Human nature is not transferred by pheromones, and even some industries that are hidden deep underground have their own ways of living.

There are many Omegas living on the streets in this world, who fell into the abyss step by step for their livelihood or just for a dose of inhibitors, compared to him, he wasn't even too bad.

Inhibitor - Alpha always knows how to take advantage of everything in his favor, and he really has no way to refuse.

When she was in the orphanage before, Shen Xie had seen all kinds of ways to survive. In a small world, there would be overcrowded drilling and competition for various resources. Of course, everything would only get worse in the outside world.If it is said that when we left Lian Shui Wan Residence, we still relied on our spirit, then it is not impossible to pick up those things that are almost forgotten now.

What's more, the alliance is not a decoration after all, and different people always have different paths to take.

In fact, every child has had a similar imagination-if they are differentiated into a specific gender, what kind of life they will have in the future.It's just that children also know how to look at the good and the bad. "Becoming an Omega" was already a despised option at that time. When anyone mentioned it, he must add "I'll just talk about it" with a smile.

It's not that there is any real deep prejudice against this gender, nor is there any understanding of life, it's just an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even in the conscious imagination to avoid falling into that abyss.

When the general topic comes to this time, Shen Xie doesn't participate in the discussion very much. He has a quiet personality, and he will not attract too much attention if he quietly withdraws from the communication circle.

But if there was anything certain in his chaotic childhood, under this kind of subtle influence day after day, wanting to live "his own life" must have been the theme for a long time .

However, later he really became an Omega, deprived of more choices from the chaos at the beginning of the division.

——Shen Xie couldn't help but looked around her.

After Alpha left, the concentration of pheromones in the air also slowly decreased. After the estrus period passed, these things that would make people addicted to fragility would ebb and disappear, and the empty room looked solid and safe.

It was only at this moment that he was convinced that he had really left Ye Chen.

After Alpha left, Shen Xie didn't indulge in the emotion of saying goodbye to the past for too long, and soon started looking for a new job.

After all, if you want to take a vacation, you have already rested for too long in the previous three years, and every moment of your new life seems to be a race against time.

He still had a few drafts that were already coming up, and he started rushing to work these days as soon as the estrus period passed.The new drawing boards and easels are placed in the living room. Although there is no space like the former Lian Shui Wan Residence, you can see the ivy on the opposite wall from the window when you look up.

Shen Xie suddenly remembered the first ray of sunlight that fell on her eyelashes when she walked out of the small gray building on the day she went to the gender home for an interview.

That page of ivy is still in his Moments album, but it seems like a long time has passed since that day.

After the manuscript in hand was almost drawn, he also started to look for some other jobs.

The publishers and magazines we have worked with before took some time to list one by one, submit works and resumes in batches, and asked some people to pay attention to the gallery's acceptance information. Omega is indeed not suitable for some jobs that require long-term clocking and attendance, but he has been receiving some scattered manuscripts before, and it will be more convenient to cooperate with familiar editors.

Instead, the previous tutoring finally stopped.

It's not necessarily an obsession to draw a clear line with Alpha, but it's just that he hasn't gone there for so long, and Ye Chen has already explained the reason directly to the other party.

At this point, of course, many problems are self-evident.

Since it was because of Alpha that he got the job in the first place, it doesn't make sense to ask Ye Chen to help pay the class fees now that they are separated.

Shen Xie felt a little embarrassed about this, and specially brought snacks for the children when she came to the door for the last time.The little girl was very reluctant to part with him, and when she was saying goodbye, she secretly followed behind and pulled the corner of his clothes.

Then Shen Xie knelt down and patted the child's head.

"Goodbye." He said goodbye with a smile, "Mr. Shen likes you very much too."

In all these stories, if there is really one person who really liked him, it is probably this weird little girl in front of him.

So he also really liked her until he decided to leave, and he didn't want to hurt the child's heart because of it.

Adults' affairs have nothing to do with children. It took him a long time to figure this out, and he didn't want other children to have the slightest possibility of similar misunderstandings.

Shen Xie thought, what he wants is actually very little, as long as he gets a little return for what he has paid, it is enough to get him double the cherishment.

It's just that the only fault was that he shouldn't have made Ye Chen the object of this request.

But the days after leaving Alpha actually passed quickly.

This winter, it didn't snow until halfway through December. At the beginning of the month, Ye Chen followed the agreement and asked his assistant to deliver the inhibitor. Xiao Chen stood at the door with a hesitant expression on his face, so Shen Xie couldn't make up his mind in the end. Come quickly and drive people away quickly.

"Thank you." He took the inhibitor at the door, and seeing the assistant's gaze began to look into the room dishonestly, he stopped slightly sideways.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiao Chen probably also realized that his eyes were a little too obvious, "Brother Xie, I'm leaving now."

Ye Chen used to call him Xiexie, and it wasn't long before Xiao Chen came to work as an assistant, so he followed suit and added "brother" at the end.

Shen Xie sometimes finds it quite interesting. He has no right to interfere with the people around Ye Chen, but they always participate in his life in various ways.

Over the years, Xiao Chen not only followed Ye Chen to handle company affairs, but was also always sent to arrange for Shen Xie. The number of times the two of them met was not rare, but Shen Xie had never had any communication with him before.

It wasn't until the two of them faced each other across a threshold in this residential building that Shen Xie sighed slightly:

"I know he sent you here.

"I don't blame you." He looked at Xiao Chen, "But please, don't make things difficult for me anymore."

——After saying this, it seems that the picture of a new life has quietly unfolded a little bit.

During this period, Shen Xie received several drawings one after another, and became familiar with the neighbors in the new community.

Living opposite him is a retired old couple, both of whom are Betas. They have never had children in their lives, and they have raised a very cute corgi, which they always take out for a walk at six or seven in the afternoon.

Shen Xie sometimes goes out to the supermarket at about the same time, and has established a good friendship with the old couple's Corgi daughter. She has short feet and a fat dog with smooth skin, and she always wears pink bowknot shoes when she goes out for a walk.

He also fed stray cats when he was in the community welfare home. The very small one disappeared after only eating his dried meat for two days. Shen Xie thought about it later, and she didn't know if the kitten survived.

Later, he studied art at university, and most of those who studied art liked small animals. Many students around him looked forward to the future and wanted to raise cats and dogs. It is not that he has not been tempted again.

It's just that soon after arriving at Lian Shui Wan Residence, Alpha never cleaned the room by himself, and his attitude towards small animals has always been firm.

Shen Xie once fed stray cats twice on the street, and after she was found with cat fur on her body at night, she didn't have a good life.

"Doesn't the community property use money to work?" Mr. Ye's complaints will be mixed with strong pheromones and rush to the side of the neck, and the scorching breath directly brushes over the glands, "Who knew that these cats and dogs have What germs."

Alpha frowned at him, as if he was a little worried and gave the final verdict: "Don't touch those."

So with just this one sentence, Shen Xie didn't dare to get too close to the little animals.

Of course, the properties of Lian Shui Wan Ju are dedicated to their duties. The entire villa area, even the few fish that are put in the pool, are closely monitored by special personnel.If Ye Chen really complained to the property, the stray cats and dogs within a few miles would probably be affected.

Later, he also wanted to understand how a person who can't even be the master of his own life can really afford the whole life of another little life.

Even people who have never been loved since childhood may doubt whether they can really love a cat or a dog.

Shen Xie later thought that he had actually worked very hard.

He can be sunny, gentle, and love life, draw pictures that even children really like, or carefully organize a beautiful home.

He lives every day with more heart than others, and even the shadow left by his past community life is hard to say is negative.

But to project that lack of love on Ye Chen, he has been lost for too long.

At Christmas this year, a new media studio that had previously worked with asked Shen Xie to make an appointment for a long-term series of drafts. After an online discussion, the editor-in-chief proposed to have a meal together.

This is not an excessive requirement. Many practitioners are used to scrutinizing details after meeting. Besides, if you really want to follow the path of an independent illustrator, similar contacts are indispensable.

Shen Xie used to receive scattered orders, this is the first time she has received a long-term cooperation intention, and she even changed her clothes when she went out.

The smoky green coat is the same style as it was several years ago, and it is not outdated now. Omega's waist is inherently slender, and a wide belt loosely tied on it looks neat and pretty.When Shen Xie was in college, there were classmates who were very good at dressing and styling. They were all art students, and it was not difficult to draw inferences from each other.

On the contrary, Ye Chen preferred him to wear modest home styles later on, and he himself didn't go out often, and he didn't buy any new clothes for several years.

A few days ago, Lu Ningxi asked him to go shopping. When he came out of Lian Shui Wan, he didn't bring a lot of luggage, so he bought a new suit for the season.

This day, when I went out, the Christmas atmosphere on the street outside was already very strong. Shen Xie took the bus to the city, and the lights were red and green all the way. When I got off the bus, I received a deer antler brooch from the doorman at the entrance of the mall.

He said thank you, saw the child's eyes still fixed on him, and pinned the brooch to the neckline in front of the other party.

"MerryChristmas!" The person in Christmas costume immediately sent loud wishes, and then opened the door for him with a smile on his face.

Walking into the shopping mall is also full of festive atmosphere, because there are heating and layers of lights on, the whole atmosphere is set off soft and fluffy.Shen Xie found the appointed restaurant and pushed open the door. Before he had time to look around, someone stood up from a corner and waved his hand at him.

"You are so pretty."

The person who greeted him was dressed in elite-style formal attire, and he was full of praise when they met him. His eyes turned around on him, and he immediately boasted: "The brooch is also cute, I saw you at a glance."

Shen Xie didn't expect the other party to have such a style of painting. She thanked her unexpectedly and sat down, but the other party's voice was still following her: "Today is Christmas, did you specially match the pattern of deer antlers for our meeting?"

At this point, Shen Xie couldn't help but frowned in her heart.

In fact, there are certainly people who are out of character and generous, but for some reason, this person in front of him does not give him a comfortable feeling.

Sure enough, after he was seated, the other party questioned him about his coat and pendants again, and his eagerness was simply overwhelming.Shen Xie wore an off-white thin sweater and a silver hanging chain in her long coat today. It was originally a casual and not too casual look, but she couldn't stop the other party's eyes from wandering several times, and she couldn't return to the right place.

He was still patiently coping with it one by one, when the waiter came to order, Shen Xie took the menu and stood in front of him to block it.

It was also at this moment that some familiar figure seemed to pass by in the corner of my eye.
