beta

Gong Chen stared at Pu Yaozhi firmly without blinking.

His eyes were gloomy, and his corrupt mood was obvious.

If Pu Yaozhi could smell the pheromone, then he could feel that the red wine pheromone in the air suddenly became cloudy and cold, almost suffocating.

He stared at Beta respectfully and silently for a long time.

Beta looked calm.

Except that after recognizing his identity, the other party was slightly surprised and surprised, and there was no other expression.

Apologize without guilt, without any unnaturalness.

That astonished expression was by no means intentional.

In the end, Gong Chen came to an absurd and ironic conclusion.

The content of the apology just now is true.

He didn't recognize it, and it was true.

and so.

During these days, all his conjectures, all his thoughts, all his answers...

What he thought, Pu Yaozhi pretended not to know——

As he tried to imagine, the inferiority complex and hatred remained—

It was all his self-righteous conjecture.

None of these exist.

And the real answer is very simple.

Only three words.

—he forgot.

The extremely absurd and ironic truth makes Gong Shen, who has been repeatedly pulling emotions and guessing the answer in his mind during this period of time, it is simply ridiculous to look at.

For the first time, Gong Chen felt that he was so ridiculous.

Like a hilarious joke.

Gong Chen pulled the corner of his lips lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Gong Shen's voice was cold, with a hint of gnashing of teeth: "Pu Yaozhi, what do you still remember?"

"You forgot my name."

"You also forgot my face."

"Don't tell me, you have forgotten everything that happened six years ago."

Pu Yaozhi has indeed almost forgotten.

However, after he finally recognized Gong Chen's identity, he couldn't help but recall something.

"Ah," Pu Yaozhi raised his eyebrows, and replied lightly, "I still remember some."

It's still an understatement.

Fluttering, nonchalant.

Six years ago, the three years of bullying he suffered in high school, the bullying from everyone in the school, the endless days, the three years of dark time like the end, were just carried away by a few words.

Gong Chen's voice faltered, his expression stunned.

It's even a little unbelievable.

He couldn't understand Pu Yaozhi.

now.

Pu Yaozhi sat in front of him, but it seemed like an invisible fog, which made him feel extremely far away.

Gong Shen couldn't help asking: "Pu Yaozhi, to you, what happened six years ago is nothing."

Gong Chen couldn't understand the indifference on the other side's face.

Gong Shen's face darkened, and his complexion became more and more ugly.

But Pu Yaozhi showed a smile instead.

This was the first time Gong Chen saw him smile.

Pu Yaozhi twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, and then said calmly:

"Oh, a good lesson."

Gong was stunned by the unexpected smile on Pu Yaozhi's face.

He forgot to react for a moment.

Pu Yao said calmly, and then continued calmly: "I don't know, and I don't understand why Mr. Gong is still obsessed with such trivial matters, but these are all in the past. , Mr. Gong...then there is no need to bring it up and recall it again and again."

After finishing speaking, then, as the bullied person six years ago, Pu Yaozhi turned around to relieve Gong Chen.

Pu Yaozhi said with a vague smile, "Mr. Gong, people have to look forward, and they shouldn't dwell on the past."

Listening to Pu Yaozhi's explanation, and seeing the indifferent look on Pu Yaozhi's face, Gong Shen suddenly forgot to speak.

Pu Yaozhi had already forgotten the past six years ago.

Chic, calm and sensible, absolutely without any trace of nostalgia.

It seems that the unbearable and painful past is just a passing cloud that is not worth mentioning.

As soon as I turned my head, the wind blew away the cloud and smoke, and it was never seen again.

The bullied have already let go of what happened six years ago, but as a bystander of the bullying six years ago, or even the instigator who bears some responsibility, they have always been brooding about it, and it is difficult to let go of their knots.

It seemed...he was the only one trapped in place by the memory of six years ago.

Pu Yaozhi had already left him coolly.

He stood alone in the same place, the figure who still refused to leave, looked ridiculous and pitiful.

Gong Shen was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he finally found his voice.

Gong Shen opened his lips, his voice was a little difficult.

"I'm still the problem." Gong Chen's thin lips parted slightly, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, "...and the last problem."

"Nine years ago, on the afternoon after that incident happened, you clearly figured out all the causes and consequences. Why, you never came to explain to me." Gong Chen looked straight at him, his eyes were deep and cold, Like the deep sea, the bottom is invisible.

In fact, Pu Yaozhi was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that after six years, Gong Chen would still be brooding over such a trivial matter, engraving it in his heart.

He had already forgotten almost all of those things back then.

As the person who was bullied back then, he has long been indifferent to these past events and put them behind him, but he never thought that Gong Chen would still be unable to let go of this matter until now.

But he almost forgot, so he recalled it.

He recalled for a while, and finally recalled the reason why he never went to find Gong Chen.

"This matter..." Pu Yaozhi explained with a paralyzed face, "It's nothing, because it's unnecessary."

Gong Chen was startled and frowned.

"no need?"

"What do you mean?"

"Literally." Pu Yaozhi replied with a dull face.

"At that time, I did figure out the cause and effect of everything that afternoon, but... If I went over to explain to Mr. Gong that day, would Mr. Gong be willing to see me?"

Mr. Gong subconsciously wanted to say why he didn't want to, but he couldn't say a word.

Because what Pu Yaozhi said...is the truth.

Guessing what Gong Chen wanted to say, Pu Yaozhi continued to explain the facts calmly.

"Mr. Gong felt disgusted when he looked at me at that time, so he probably wouldn't want to see me."

"Furthermore, President Gong has already confirmed that I, a low-level beta, have unruly intentions towards President Gong? Even if I really went to explain to President Gong at the beginning...Will President Gong believe it?"

The answer is clear.

--Do not believe.

Gong Shen was speechless.

Because he couldn't refute a word.

His fingers were cold, and he couldn't feel it.

Because in the past... he never thought of this.

He has always believed that the three years of bullying Pu Yaozhi suffered in high school six years ago was the reason why Pu Yaozhi refused to come and explain to him.

It was entirely Pu Yao's own problem.

From beginning to end, it has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Gong Chen only admitted that he was indeed responsible for what happened nine years ago.

However, the three years of bullying that Pu Yaozhi suffered was Pu Yaozhi's own fault.

Nothing to do with him.

If he had come over on the same day to explain to him in time and show the truth, then the so-called bullying in the past three years would no longer exist.

But he never expected... the truth is so.

What he thinks has nothing to do with him. In fact, he is the real reason why Pu Yaozhi has been bullied for three years.

And all this.

It all stems from his arrogance and aloofness.

If he could put himself in Pu Yaozhi's position and think about it in his position, why didn't he come to him to explain...

But he didn't.

Not from start to finish.

Gong Shen opened his lips, as if muttering to himself, weakly denying what Pu Yaozhi said.

"but if……"

"if……"

"I really believe it."

Pu Yaozhi originally wanted to say that there is no if, but he suddenly felt that this was meaningless nonsense, so he swallowed these four words back and changed his mouth.

"So what if you believe it?" Pu Yaozhi asked with raised eyebrows.

Gong Chen replied almost subconsciously: "Then you won't suffer from campus bullying for three years."

Pu Yaozhi suddenly understood.

Suddenly, he twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and then said casually: "Then, continue to be by Mr. Gong's side, and be a ridiculous idiot."

Gong Chen's expression froze, he was so stunned that he was at a loss for a while.

He immediately denied: "...I didn't mean that."

"I know Mr. Gong didn't mean that." Pu Yaozhi's expression remained unchanged, "I know what Mr. Gong wants to express, but Mr. Gong may not believe it. I thank Mr. Gong for the incident nine years ago." .”

"……what?"

"If it weren't for Mr. Gong's words nine years ago, I wouldn't have grown up so fast. I'm afraid that until now, I might still be a fool who only knows how to make friends every day, doesn't know how to wink, and doesn't have the slightest self-knowledge."

"Back then, I really thought that as a low-level beta, I could make friends with a top-level alpha like Mr. Gong. I was so stupid."

"Thank you Mr. Gong, it was Mr. Gong who woke me up in time."

Pu Yaozhi sincerely thanks again.

There is absolutely no falsehood in the eyes.

He couldn't refute every word Pu Yaozhi said.

'You despicable low betas are truly disgusting. '

'Your voice makes me sick. '

'Do you really think that you, a lowly low beta, can really be friends with a top alpha? '

……

Nine years ago, what he said in the school doctor's room seemed to be vivid in his memory.

Pu Yaozhi has such an awareness, and now such a knowledge, with self-knowledge, almost reborn, logically speaking, Gong Chen should be gratified.

But now.

Hearing these words, Gong Chen couldn't feel any comfort in his heart, instead it became more and more dull and difficult.

It was as if his throat was blocked by some hard object, the more understated and calm Pu Yaozhi's voice was, the more sore and unbearable his throat became.

After a while, Gong Chen opened his lips with difficulty, and said word by word: "I'm sorry...it was my mistake."

Hearing Gong Chen's sudden apology, Pu Yaozhi was inexplicably astonished.

He subconsciously asked: "Why did Mr. Gong say that, what's wrong with you?"

Respectful and silent, no more words.

The author has something to say:

The second phase ends.
