Drop

Sheng Li recalled when he was a student, Zuo Chi often appeared in various activities because he was the chairman of the student union.In his sophomore year of high school, almost every Monday at the flag-raising ceremony, Zuo Chi came to the stage to deliver a week's work summary.He stood under the stage and looked at Zuo Chi, thinking that Zuo Chi was so fucking awesome. The students next to him were whispering, and he even asked others to be quiet: "Keep down, I can't even hear what A Chi is talking about."

He used to think that Zuo Chi was his friend, and he was naturally happy if his friend was so powerful.

Xiang Yiqun often laughed at him: "Those who didn't know thought you were the first in the grade."

Sheng Li: "Tch, the first grader gives me extra lessons after school, do you have this kind of treatment?"

But now, he knows that Zuo Chi is more than just his friend.He looked up at the person he liked, weighed the gap between them, and felt as if a stone had been pressed in his heart, heavy and heavy.

"Hey, isn't that who?" Xiang Yiqun poked Sheng Li's arm, looked at the man on the left in the front row, but couldn't name him.

Sheng Li turned his head and could only see the man's side face clearly, but he instantly knew who he was—Han Qice, the Alpha who had pursued Zuo Chi in junior high school, and the Alpha who went to chat with Zuo Chi at his birthday party.

Han Qice's eyes followed Zuo Chi on the stage with a serious expression.

Sheng Li knew that Zuo Chi was popular, but he had never had a feeling before... a feeling that Zuo Chi would be snatched away by others.

Qin Xu, Han Qice... and anyone he may not know at all may replace him as the closest person to Zuo Chi.

His facial features were stiff, and his chest was congested: "Why do so many people like him?"

Tai Xingyu and Xiang Yiqun looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to answer or not.

After a while, Tai Xingyu said, "Zuo Chi is good-looking and outstanding, it's normal to like him."

Sheng Li looked at him suddenly: "You..."

Tai Xingyu bumped Sheng Li's shoulder: "Don't think too much. In fact, it doesn't matter who likes him, the important thing is who Zuo Chi likes."

Sheng Li tried to laugh at the corners of his lips, but he couldn't.

Zuo Chi liked him before, but now?Thinking of his bad behavior in the past year, Sheng Li's heart continued to sink.

Zuo Chi finished his speech and went backstage.Sheng Li stared at his back, instinctively wanting to follow, he stood up and sat down again.There were a lot of people on the school celebration, and many students in the same class had heard about their marriage and their cancellation of the engagement. It would not be appropriate for him to be by Zuo Chi's side now.He doesn't care much about gossip, but what about Zuo Chi?

He watched the ceremony patiently.There are many students returning to school for this school celebration. After the ceremony, of course, there will be a party.He went to visit his high school teacher with his classmates, and was persuaded to go to dinner again.

A classmate who used to play ball together put his arm around his shoulders: "Hey, brother Sheng, we haven't seen each other since we graduated. If you don't drink some wine today, don't you look down on us?"

Others echoed: "That's right, buddies finally get together, so we have to have two drinks no matter what."

They recalled some fun and interesting things in the past, and they talked more and more vigorously, as if they were back when they were sixteen or seventeen years old.Sheng Li's desire to leave early was really disappointing, so he agreed to go to the dinner party.

There were only two big restaurants near the school. When Sheng Li and the others went to the restaurant, they found that students from other classes were also gathering here. The second and third floors were almost reserved by their school.

When Sheng Li was in high school, he didn't read books seriously, and spent all his time playing games and making friends.He has always been at home in lively occasions like dinner parties of his peers.

But I don't know if it's because he hasn't had enough rest recently. He feels a little tired, and he starts to feel sleepy after drinking two glasses of wine.

He proposed to smoke two cigarettes outside the box to refresh himself, walked to the exit of the safe passage, and stopped when he heard the name "Zuo Chi".There were two men chatting, one of whom Sheng Li recognized was the youngest son of the Zhang family.

"I heard that Zuo Chi is no longer working at Zuo's house?"

"Really? Isn't Zuo Lie a dou who can't afford to support him?"

"I don't know exactly what's going on. But people like Zuo Chi can live a decent life no matter what."

"That's right. Even if he doesn't do anything, he can still rely on Alpha." Young Master Zhang smiled narrowly, "Isn't he very close to the illegitimate son of the Qin family? There is Sheng Li, I heard people say that Sheng Li went to the company to deliver meals to Zuo Chi before."

"What are you doing, aren't they friends?"

"You can believe that too. They were friends before, but Zuo Chi became an Omega. They were also engaged. How could they be innocent?"

"You mean...they slept in?"

"Hahahahaha, I must have slept more than once... Fuck."

Young Master Zhang raised his head and saw Sheng Li standing at the corner, staring at the two of them with a horrifying expression, his legs went limp in fright.He had never seen Sheng Li fight, but he had also heard of Sheng Li's glorious deeds.

Sheng Li exuded a chilling evil aura, his fists were hanging by his sides, making crackling noises.

Anger rolled in his chest, he resisted the urge to press him against the wall and beat him up, and warned: "Don't let me hear you gossip about Zuo Chi again."

Sheng Li gritted his teeth: "He is stronger than most Alphas, and he doesn't need to rely on anyone."

Young Master Zhang didn't speak, another man patted his head and pulled him back: "Sheng Shao, I drank too much wine, I'm sorry to offend you."

After they left, Sheng Li stood there for a long time.He let go of his fists, his palms were sweating, and he stared at the white wall, feeling his vision blurred.

He has always known that after their marriage contract was cancelled, Zuo Chi and Qin Xu's engagement immediately would be treated strangely.But when he heard that the Zuo family and the Qin family were married, the first thing he thought of was not what would happen to Zuo Chi, but that he couldn't accept the result. He only cared about his own emotions and asked Zuo Chi for an explanation.

He clearly knew that Zuo Yi asked Zuo Chi to marry him, but he blamed Zuo Chi for abandoning him.If it wasn't for what he did before that hurt Zuo Chi, how could Zuo Chi agree to Zuo Yi's conditions in order to cancel the engagement?

He asked Zuo Chi to find a way because he was powerless.

He is incompetent, so he can't change the marriage between Zuo Chi and the Qin family.He couldn't change it, but he couldn't help himself to move closer to Zuo Chi.He only thought that he couldn't live without Zuo Chi, and he was afraid that if he let go of his hand, Zuo Chi would make a fake show with Qin Xu, but he didn't consider Zuo Chi's reputation.

Before Sheng Changyu said that he was "immature", Sheng Li was very disdainful, he thought that the "mature" in Sheng Changyu's mouth was "hypocrisy".But now he realized that Sheng Changyu was right, he was indeed immature, and this immaturity was selfishness and arrogance.

He likes Zuo Chi... What qualifications does he have to like Zuo Chi?If it wasn't for what he did, Zuo Chi wouldn't be subject to these criticisms at all.He can temporarily shut them up, but there are so many idle people in this circle, and the words behind their backs are so ugly, he can't control everyone.

He recalled the days when Zuo Chi just differentiated into an Omega, recalling the rare, fragile, lonely, but stubborn Zuo Chi.

At that time, he at least stayed by Zuo Chi's side to help him through, but what about him now?He is now the culprit.

Sheng Li's heart trembled, he breathed heavily, his eyes were sore and itchy, his heart seemed to be torn open, and the cold wind continued to pour in, making him shiver uncontrollably.

He has known Zuo Chi for too long, so long that he takes Zuo Chi by his side for granted.

But it is not.People and people can go down, and they always need something to support them.

Either respect or trust.

But he didn't give Zuo Chi these two things.

Sheng Li leaned against the wall, grabbed his hair with both hands, and fell into regret.

Thinking of Zuo Chi's liking for him, thinking of the ugly things he said to Zuo Chi and the stupid things he did, thinking of every little thing he got along with Zuo Chi this year, he couldn't excuse himself.

Footsteps sounded from behind, and it was an old classmate who knew Sheng Li: "Damn! It was pitch black, and suddenly a figure moved, which scared me. Brother Sheng, what are you doing here?"

Sheng Li restrained his emotions: "I answered a phone call."

"Oh." The old classmate said, "Finished? Then go back and continue drinking."

"En." Sheng Li responded without moving.His mind is in a mess right now, and he just wants to be alone in peace.

After the old classmates left, Xiang Yiqun came over.

"I went to your class box to toast, but you were not there, so I asked where you were, someone said they just saw you here." Xiang Yiqun approached, "What's the matter?"

Sheng Li shook his head: "It's okay."

Xiang Yiqun: "The representative of the mathematics class knew that I was going to toast, so he walked with me to your box. He was disappointed that he didn't see you."

Sheng Li glanced at him: "I said I'm not interested."

Xiang Yiqun shrugged: "I told him that you have someone you like, but he didn't say anything else, just wanted to see you."

Sheng Li got up and went back to the box, made a round of toasts next to each other, said that he still had something to do, and left first.

The classmates asked him to stay and play more: "I still have to sing K later, why are you leaving?"

Someone joked: "That's right, it's so urgent, there are people at home."

No one at home.

Sheng Li was stung by this joke, he smiled, but there was no smile on his lips: "I really have to go, I still have work tomorrow."

He wanted to leave, but no one could really stop him.Sheng Li walked out of the restaurant and called a driver.During the waiting time, he took out the shriveled cigarette case, took out a cigarette, did not light it, and just held it in his mouth for enjoyment.

As the autumn wind blew by, he smelled the familiar aroma of black currant, and turned his head subconsciously.

Zuo Chi stood on the steps two floors higher, met his eyes in the air, froze for a moment, then walked down with a cold face.

He walked past him, as if he hadn't seen him at all, and didn't even say hello.

"A Chi."

When Sheng Li opened his mouth, a soreness welled up in his eyes.He wanted to apologize to Zuo Chi, he said "I'm sorry", but it was not enough.When he said "I'm sorry", he didn't fully realize the pain he caused Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi turned around, frowning tightly: "Are you blocking me here on purpose?"

Sheng Li: "No... I'm waiting for a substitute driver."

Zuo Chi didn't speak, just looked at him.

But because he turned too far just now, something slipped out of his suit pocket and fell to the ground.

There was a "snap", neither heavy nor light.

Sheng Li lowered his head, trying to pick it up.Zuo Chi flicked his hand away, moving faster than him.

But Sheng Li could still see clearly that it was a potion.
