The Rationalist's Marriage

There are a lot of osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard of the community. As soon as September comes, the fragrance of the flowers is like a restless child.The weather has not turned cold, but autumn is getting stronger.

Except for occasional wedding banquets, Ding Ye only works during the day and is often alone at home.The current airport was only built and put into use ten years ago, and it is slowly driving business. Therefore, the environment here is not the same as the city center where he lived before. It is not so prosperous, but it is developing rapidly, and new buildings and public facilities are constantly emerging. The old alleys they walked through in the evening are rare, and they seem out of place in the increasingly trendy street market style.

Ding Ye himself would sometimes go for a walk downstairs, or go to the supermarket to buy something, and wait for Qiu Yuening to come home.

Went out at [-]:[-] am on Wednesday, arrived home at [-]:[-] pm; left at [-]:[-] am on Thursday, arrived home at [-]:[-] pm; spent the night in State F on Friday and Saturday... During the week in mid-September, Qiu Yuening’s working hours were relatively comfortable, Except for a two-day sleepover.

"Well, see you tomorrow." While eating breakfast at the hotel, Qiu Yuening talked to Ding Ye.

I only checked in at twelve o'clock the night before, and I left late today. Most of my colleagues were still sleeping, but he woke up early, and couldn't fall asleep after waking up, so he went downstairs for dinner.The hotel's buffet breakfast is very rich. Qiu Yuening took a few small steamed buns and a plate of side dishes, and drank another bowl of porridge. Drinks area.

There was only a bottom left in the coffee pot, and it might not be enough to fill a cup. Qiu Yuening held the cup and hesitated whether to pour it all out or drink the black tea next to him.

"Sorry," a young man who looked like a staff member said to him, "Wait a minute, please? I'll add some more coffee."

"Ok."

The young man came back soon with a filled jug and poured him a glass.

"Thank you."

The man was not wearing the uniform of an ordinary waiter, he should be a manager, Qiu Yuening looked familiar.But they stayed overnight in this hotel every time, and the staff had met more than once, so familiarity is normal.

He returned to the seat where he had been sitting, and added sugar and milk to the coffee. He felt that the manager just now had been looking at him, and when he raised his head for the last time, the other party smiled at him, and then walked straight to the opposite side of his table.

"Mr. Qiu Yuening, is that right?" Before Qiu Yuening asked, the young man asked first.

"Yeah." Recognizing his name, he might have helped them check in, but Qiu Yuening couldn't figure out why he talked to him on purpose.

"I met you at the front desk last month," said the omega youth, with a handsome appearance and a decent smile, "but I met you on other occasions."

"Other occasions?"

"Can I sit down?" His eyes moved to the seat beside him, which was facing Qiu Yuening.

"of course can."

Qiu Yuening was wondering if they had met in other places, so he heard the young man say, "I know Ding Ye."

I see.But had he been to a wedding?Qiu Yuening had no impression.

"Are you married?" he asked again.

"Hmm." Qiu Yuening apologized slightly, "I'm sorry, I forgot whether you have been to the wedding."

"I didn't go," the young man shook his head with a calm expression, "it's impossible for him to invite me."

An omega that cannot be invited... A guess floated in Qiu Yuening's mind, silently observing the other party's expression, he was almost sure that it was what he thought.

"Are you the one he used to—"

"Has he ever told you?" The young man looked slightly surprised, "I've dated him before."

"Bring it up a little bit."

Sitting opposite a lover's ex is a rather peculiar experience.But Qiu Yuening didn't dislike the omega in front of him, he even felt that the other party's temperament was similar to Ding Ye's, even if they were lovers, there was no violation.

"Sorry, I took the liberty to come to you," he continued, "Actually, I have my own life now, and I don't have any thoughts about him. I just want to take a closer look at what kind of person his marriage partner is."

The focus returned to himself, Qiu Yuening's ears were hot, he couldn't think of a way to catch up, and he firmly grasped the coffee cup on the table with both hands.

However, the young man is a talkative person, so he immediately told Qiu Yuening that he heard about Ding Ye's marriage from his friends, and learned about the groom's name and occupation. He felt that he was a guest he met at the hotel, and he confirmed it at the front desk last time. Sure enough.

"I also left Wencheng a few months ago to come here. It's really a fate."

The other party's straightforward attitude erased the remaining awkward atmosphere, and Qiu Yuening's nerves were completely relaxed.

"Did he propose the marriage?" The young man's tone was almost certain.

"Yeah." Even though they started dating on a blind date, if Ding Ye hadn't said anything, they probably wouldn't have started a family so quickly.

"I was right," he added. "I thought he wouldn't marry anyone."

Qiu Yuening didn't care about Ding Ye's past, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know him better. Everyone has curiosity, let alone the people closest to him.

"May I ask," he said softly, "why did you break up in the first place?"

Ding Ye's so-called "peaceful breakup" actually didn't have any amount of information, and this manager didn't seem like the type who would have violent conflicts with others.

"I asked for it," he said quietly.

"You asked for it?"

"It's the most commonplace reason, I don't think he ever loved me," his tone was always brisk, joking, "I was the one who chased him at first, but in the end I gave up first."

Whether he has ever loved or not is too subjective. Qi Ran also complained in front of him at that time; but when Ding Ye's ex told him, Qiu Yuening couldn't hear the harshness, it was more like the purest expression of helplessness .

"I'm not trying to speak ill of him, quite the opposite, he's so good... for almost a year, trying really hard to be the perfect boyfriend.

"It's just acting."

Perhaps in his heart, Ding Ye is a rock that cannot be warmed. No matter how beautiful and perfect the stone is carved, it is cold and lifeless.

"Don't pay attention to my words," he said to Qiu Yuening who was in deep thought before getting up, "You are different from me, you are the one he chose on his own initiative."

Because the marriage was proposed by Ding Ye, he chose himself—this is probably what the young manager meant.

After the other party left, Qiu Yuening still couldn't control his chaotic thoughts.Those contradictory elements and faces that seemed real and fake in Ding Ye's body resurfaced in his consciousness again.

If the alpha back then hadn't been married, Ding Ye wouldn't have chosen him, right? The omega youth didn't understand this, but Qiu Yuening did.

Although only a little, his mood was a little low.
