Shiratori

In fact, the period from Christmas to New Year's Day slipped quietly, and in just a short while, the last number in the year column on the calendar entered one.

Ye Chen seemed to be busy with something, Shen Xie took back the previous mobile phone, but the message box at the top of the conversation list has not received any new ringing.

When the new year came, I received a few blessings.There were messages of congratulations from college classmates and former colleagues in the studio, as well as friends like Yu Qingran, and even Lu Ningxi sent greetings.

Shen Xie replied to the messages one by one, and her fingers hovered over Ye Chen's company logo for a while.But in fact, from the second year after he moved to Lian Shui Wan Residence, he stopped sending such holiday messages to Ye Chen.

Alpha's time and space are precious, and shouldn't be wasted on accepting his insignificant blessings. What's more, if a few lines of words are followed by the sincerity, it's hard not to expect a response from the other party.

In the first month of knowing this Alpha, he even tried to give Ye Chen some birthday presents, and then he learned to hide all redundant thoughts in his heart in a shorter time than imagined.

On the second day of the new year, Shen Xie changed her clothes and went outside for a walk. The snow that fell under Christmas had already melted a few days ago, and the dry and cold winter in the north had once again covered all places with a faded whiteness.

Just like that, everything seems to disappear.Shen Xie went to the supermarket and walked back along the short street outside the community.Although it is a high-end community, the sidewalks are always the same everywhere, so walking slowly like this does not feel special.

When passing the street garden at the corner, I also met two stray cats. One of the white cats was a little dirty. I think he was not the only one who had a hard time in such a winter.

When Shen Xie saw the two cats, she hesitated for a moment, and almost immediately thought of Ye Chen's warning about "stay away from stray animals".

However, in the next second, he changed his mind and squatted down.

He didn't buy anything today, mainly to go out to take a breath. At this time, he rummaged through the shopping bag. Cats can't eat things that are too seasoned. Put a few shrimps on the ground.

When he did all this, it was hard to say whether he was harboring a subtle sense of vindictiveness or not, but the two cats squatted in place and looked at him for a while, one of them tilted its head, and then came over first to sniff the two cats. only shrimp.

Shen Xie took two steps back and watched the two cats hesitate and then whispered for a few seconds, until finally they picked up fresh shrimps and ran away quickly. It was a little funny when I got up.

If you don't care, how could it be like this. What Alpha said and did, after all, he still couldn't get around it in his heart.

In this way, when I returned to Lian Shui Wan Residence, I made lunch casually. In the afternoon, I received a WeChat message, which was a new illustration commission.

This time, Shen Xie took some time to verify Party A's information.

It is a homestay project, the main selling point is the intelligent high-tech services of the whole house.Shen Xie has carefully read the project introduction, and it is now in the stage of pilot and online promotion, and he sent an email to hope that he can provide a set of illustration-style sketches as advertising pictures for marketing.

This number of promotion methods is not incomprehensible. Most of the people who would understand and order homestays are young people. In the Internet age, the trend of reading pictures is prevalent. It is a natural choice to present products with a painting style that is close to the habits of customer groups.

So it was decided that, as soon as the New Year's Day holiday ended, Shen Xie was invited to visit the site.The location of that group of homestays is in this city, and the decoration and various facilities were completed just a few years ago.

The amazing thing is that I went around and went back to the surrounding area of ​​the University City, so this time I became familiar with the road.

When Shen Xie came to the door for the first time, she thought that the high-tech residence would be the minimalist style of the future, but she did not expect that the content of the site was extremely rich. In the end, she took hundreds of photos and came back, and continued to deliberate on the specific style and style with Party A. Highlights are needed.The manuscripts used for business promotion are different from pure art works, or the manuscripts of illustrations used as a foil to the text of books. He has basically received drawings that can be completed at home. This time, he actually has some novelties and wants to make to perfection.

After being so busy for a few days, I also dispelled some of the grudges about moving back to Lian Shui Wan Ju.

Once a job starts, it's hard not to devote yourself fully, especially for such a project that runs maturely and smoothly from top to bottom.When Shen Xie went to the scene to collect materials, there were people from Party A waiting there, and the daily progress was reported in the project group, and the schedule was distributed one by one.On the contrary, the opposing team is very talkative, and it doesn't have the common faults of those design work creditors. It can give Shen Xie a lot of freedom while strictly controlling it.

All in all, it is a job that will make people feel physically and mentally happy.

So when Ye Chen came over that night and asked what he was doing recently, Shen Xie also said about the draft solicitation very smoothly.

"The house is beautiful and really state-of-the-art."

When he entered the door for the first time, he did not expect that the current homestay would be so colorful. The first room the other party showed him was a soft and dreamy pink bubble shape, and the fabric sofas were made of fluffy flowers. , there is also a very cute bathtub, surrounded by high and low veils, you can imagine the sweet scenes that will happen in it.

"I knew that some former classmates were doing similar interior design work, but I didn't expect it to be so delicate."

After that, I watched all the room types one after another. Almost each room has its own different theme style. Correspondingly, the modern facilities are indeed very complete. The data service surrounded by all directions from the moment you step into the door, bundled After booking the guest information, you can also remotely operate all the electrical appliances - you don't even need to get out of bed to draw the curtains!

When Shen Xie said this, she couldn't help emphasizing her tone a little, she blinked her eyelashes, it was a natural exclamation, maybe she didn't realize it, but Ye Chen couldn't help but bend a little when she saw it Mouth.

I hadn't seen Shen Xie for more than a month before, although there was a report from the assistant's overt and secret inquiries, but it was different after all.

He is not the kind of person who doesn't count his words. Before that, although he was determined to let Shen Xie return to his side, he still had no clear direction for the next step.

If they hadn't met each other by chance on Christmas Eve, there might not have been such a scene.

But seeing such an Omega now, I feel that I really made a correct decision that day.

Instead, Shen Xie noticed Alpha's expression halfway through her speech, and subconsciously swallowed back the words.

He and Ye Chen mentioned this with some novelty at the moment, not only because they were amazed by what they saw, but also because the work was in line with their wishes, maybe there was some sense of sharing happiness in it.

As a result, after saying the words, he was a little apprehensive, and then he thought that Ye Chen didn't seem to like him going out to work very much.

Although this kind of thing is completely unreasonable, but after all, she has already had such a relationship with Ye Chen before, and Shen Xie will naturally consider the other party's feelings.

Alpha hasn't been here for a while, and he's about to put the weird relationship between them aside.

At this time, after finishing speaking, he raised his eyes cautiously and glanced at the opposite side. Ye Chen was sitting on the other side of the dining table. He went out this afternoon and didn't make dinner when he came back. It was the assistant who ordered the meal and delivered it before he knew that Alpha was going to visit.

"Sorry..." He was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Ye doesn't like to hear these things."

Alpha asked him what he was doing recently, probably he should stop at growing flowers, cooking, cleaning the house, and at most, drawing a few exquisite paintings in the workshop.This is what an Omega should be like.

However, Ye Chen didn't seem to have any reaction to this this time, and after listening to it, he just continued to put the half-caught dish into his mouth normally.

Alphas from aristocratic families are indeed always different on this point. Shen Xie has observed it before, and maybe even Ye Chen's eating movements are actually a kind of well-trained elegance.

Or it can be seen from the time when I served Ye Tang with vegetables in front of him——

Shen Xie quickly looked away, in fact, it would be awkward for him and Ye Chen to have dinner together in this state, and he once wanted to slowly bring the relationship between himself and Alpha to such a kind that truly resembles " agreement", in fact, Ye Chen himself said so before.

Because I was worried about the reaction of drug residues, I had to move back to Lian Shui Wan Residence.Both of them agreed with this reason.

But now that Alpha still came to eat so naturally, he didn't know how to refuse at all.

"It's pretty good." Ye Chen waited until the mouthful was finished before speaking, "Do you like this?"

"Ah...?" Shen Xie was a little at a loss. He didn't often talk about this kind of topic with the other party. It should be said that in the past conversations with Alpha, it was basically Ye Chen who said it, and he as the audience Much more often.

Ye Chen is obviously not used to this kind of asking questions, he paused for a while before waiting for a response, and then quickly continued: "If you like it, you can try to stay for a few days, but you should also be careful when you go out alone. danger around you."

...? ?

"Actually, I didn't either..." Shen Xie said this sentence smoothly, he didn't know what he was subconsciously refuting, or even the act of "refuting" was not in his consciousness.

"It's just work." He ended the sentence around a corner.Is Mr. Ye thinking too much?

Or Alpha still thinks that he is the sponsor, so he is prepared to spend money as a matter of course since he showed his liking earlier.

Shen Xie was thinking about whether to further express her refusal, but she didn't know why the topic changed suddenly, Ye Chen immediately said: "For example, the photo taken secretly, or something more serious next time."

Alpha paused and actually added: "You always worry me."

Shen Xie was blank for a few seconds.

It's actually a bit funny to say it, Ye Chen would actually say something in such a tactful way, and abruptly turn around an almost completely irrelevant topic.

But now there was no doubt that he knew what Alpha was referring to.

Shen Xie even thought that Ye Chen didn't come for so many days, and he came here to have dinner with him today, maybe it was just to talk about this matter.

Sure enough, Mr. Ye found the stack of photos under the coffee table, but it took so long to wait for him here.

Sure enough, Ye Chen continued to ask in the next second: "I didn't have time to tell you about this before. Why didn't you ask me when you received such a photo?"

Shen Xie couldn't tell how she felt at that moment, maybe if her heart was already cold, then the superimposed killing would not have much reaction.

What happened when I received that group of photos? Ye Chen went on a business trip unexpectedly, and the first thing he did when he came back was to ask him why he moved away, and satirize him for putting on a show. The monitoring of friends also surfaced one by one.

Shen Xie knew very early on that Ye Chen must have investigated her details. In the final analysis, she is also a person with a whole family group tied to her body. With Alpha's character, it is impossible to really pick up an Omega on the road and have nothing to say.

But that kind of complete control, easy arrangement, and taking it for granted that the conversation between him and his friend was taken for granted, still made him unacceptable from the bottom of his heart.

He wasn't born an Omega, that kind of life turned upside down suddenly, even if he has accepted it again and again, it doesn't mean that he can really erase that anxiety from the bottom of his heart.

But now Ye Chen is still using a very puzzled tone, asking him why he didn't ask himself at that time.

"Mr. Ye." When Shen Xie finally asked, she realized that this sentence had actually been lingering in her heart for a long time, "Then why don't you ask me too."
