When Kang Zhuo returned to his neighborhood, it was still dark. He drove the car into the garage, and when he came out, he caught a glimpse of the next door inadvertently.

The door of Quan Huachen's house was open, and there was a golden retriever squatting at the door, and the golden retriever was watching him wagging its tail.

Kang Zhuo hesitated for a while, not sure if the dog opened the door and slipped out by himself.Although the security of their community is very good, it still makes people feel uneasy to keep the gate open, and they don't know if Quan Huachen is at home.

Kang Zhuo decided to go over to see the situation.

He just took two steps towards the next door, the golden retriever seemed to have received some order, it crossed the flowerbed in two steps, and rushed to Kang Zhuo in almost a second, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail at him.

Kang Zhuo was taken aback. He had never had a pet before, and was even a little afraid of such a large dog.He stared vigilantly at the golden retriever in front of him, and couldn't help but take two steps back, but the golden retriever also took two steps forward, and rubbed affectionately on his calf.

The door of Quan Huachen's house was still open in the distance, Kang Zhuo was really worried, he turned around and walked towards the next door, beckoning to Jin Mao: "Come."

The golden retriever followed him all the way in small steps, neither barking nor making trouble, and seemed very obedient.

Kang Zhuo arrived at the door of Quan Huachen's house, stood two steps away from the door and carefully glanced inside. There was light in the room, but it was not clear if there was anyone there.

"Go in, let's go home." Kang Zhuo waved the golden retriever into the house.

The golden retriever squatted and did not move.

"Come in, I'm going to close the door." Kang Zhuo gestured to close the door, but the golden retriever didn't respond at all.

Kang Zhuo stared at it in distress. He took two steps to the left, and the golden retriever followed. He moved to the right, and the golden retriever also moved to the right.

"If you don't go home, I'll go home?" Kang Zhuo turned around and walked back. After a few steps, he turned his head, and the golden retriever was still following him, and he kept pouting at Kang Zhuo, looking silly.

This is how to do?

Kang Zhuo was thinking about calling Quan Huachen to inquire about the situation, when he looked up, he saw the window a few steps away.

A potted flower was placed on the outer edge of the window, surrounded by white petals, exuding a strong fragrance.

And someone stood behind the flowerpot at some point, leaning against the window, looking at Kang Zhuo and the golden retriever beside his legs, with a half-smile in his eyes.

Kang Zhuo suddenly widened his eyes like a frightened cat.

Quan Huachen laughed lowly: "Come in." After speaking, he left the window.

Who?Call me or a dog?

Kang Zhuo and Jin Mao stared with big eyes and small eyes: "I told you to go in."

Golden Retriever:?

Kang Zhuo: ...

"What are you dawdling about, come in." Quan Huachen personally came to the door to pick him up, this time looking into Kang Zhuo's eyes.

Kang Zhuo squeezed out a smile: "Hello, Uncle."

"En." Quan Huachen responded, and closed the door after the people and the dog had entered the house.

Kang Zhuo stood cautiously at the entrance, explaining to Quan Huachen why he appeared at the door: "I just saw your door was open and the dog was outside, so I watched it for a while, but I didn't expect it to come running over by itself stepping on the flowerbed gone."

Quan Huachen looked down at the golden retriever, and lazily shrank his head behind Kang Zhuo.

"It bit my new sofa and I told it to stand outside as punishment."

Kang Zhuo looked back at the golden retriever in surprise, he didn't expect such a well-behaved puppy to tear down the house.

Quan Huachen took Kang Zhuo a pair of new slippers from the shoe rack with the tags removed: "Sit on the sofa for a while, and I'll give you something."

After Quan Huachen finished speaking, he walked upstairs.

Kang Zhuo looked at the room while changing his slippers. His first thought was cleanliness, and his second thought was empty space. In such a large living room, there is only a sofa against the wall and a coffee table. Nothing else.

Kang Zhuo walked to the sofa, and sure enough, he saw messy scratches and bite marks on the armrest.

Kang Zhuo looked at the golden retriever at his feet again, and asked it in a low voice, "What did you do?"

The golden retriever turned his face to the other side guiltily.

Kang Zhuo thought it was very cute, so he bent down to scratch its head. The golden retriever became excited and raised its front feet to jump on Kang Zhuo. Kang Zhuo was frightened and backed away quickly.

"Lazy, go to the door and stand!"

Sensing the approach of the "big devil", Lanlan fled the living room with a whimper.

Kang Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he saw how it ran away.

"It didn't catch you, did it?" Quan Huachen came down from upstairs.

"No, it's very good." Kang Zhuo looked at Quan Huachen, feeling a little nervous.

Quan Huachen is tall, even taller than Yin Dongfan who is 185 by visual inspection. His facial features are very handsome, and he has a strong aggressiveness when he doesn't make an expression, and the loose home clothes can't hide it Muscular lines, this is an alpha that would make all omegas feel dangerous.

In short very fierce.

Kang Zhuo made a summary of Quan Huachen in his heart.

He swallowed dryly, and stared at Quan Huachen with his big gray eyes, like a bird ready to escape at any time.

Quan Huachen didn't seem to notice his tension, and handed a square box to Kang Zhuo: "This is for you, thank you for picking me up at the airport."

Kang Zhuo was flattered, he took the box and looked around, his eyes lit up: "Chocolat? Thank you uncle!"

Some people may not be used to the taste of liqueur chocolate, but Kang Zhuo is very fascinated by the stimulating taste, and has liked it since he was a child.

Quan Huachen laughed: "Sit down for a while, what do you want to drink? Do I have orange juice, soda water, or plain water?"

Kang Zhuo wanted to say no need to bother him and he was going home, but it seemed impolite to leave so soon after receiving a gift, so he asked for a glass of orange juice.

"Did you graduate this year?" Quan Huachen put the orange juice on the tea table in front of Kang Zhuo, while he himself took a glass of soda and sat on the single sofa not far from Kang Zhuo.

"Well, but I'm guaranteed graduate school, and I'm still studying at University A next semester." Kang Zhuo held the glass in both hands, and took a sip of orange juice.

"Who is the mentor? Liu Ming?" Quan Huachen asked.

Kang Zhuo was surprised: "How do you know?"

Quan Huachen's tone was very casual: "Isn't Dean Liu the most famous professor of biology at University A? I guess you would want to be his student."

Indeed, there is a well-known national biopharmaceutical laboratory in University A, and Dean Liu is in charge of it. His research direction happened to be of interest to Kang Zhuo, and he decided early on to become Dean Liu's student.

Sensing Kang Zhuo's curious gaze, Quan Huachen explained, "There's nothing strange about it. I used to be an A student, have you forgotten?"

Of course Kang Zhuo remembered, and the well-known pharmaceutical company "Quanhe" belonged to the Quan family, so Quan Huachen would know that Liu Ming was normal.

Kang Zhuo suddenly thought of something, and asked Quan Huachen: "Why does uncle live here?" He remembered that Quan Huachen used to live in the east of the city, quite far away from this area, and since their family moved here four years ago, , I have never seen anyone living next door.

"Our family has bought this house for a long time, but we have never lived in it," Quan Huachen smiled, "I didn't expect that you would just move to the next door."

Kang Zhuo also found it incredible. He didn't think to ask why Quan Huachen came back now. At this moment, he only paid attention to another key question: "Is my uncle's work abroad going well? Will he leave this time when he comes back? "

"It's going well. Quanhe's branch in country D has fully established itself. This time I brought people back to the head office for training, and I will go back in about three months."

"Oh……"

Kang Zhuo was speechless, drank more than half of his orange juice, and felt that it was time to leave, but at this moment, Quan Huachen spoke again.

"How are you and Dongfan?"

Kang Zhuo blurted out without much thought: "Very good."

Quan Huachen looked at him: "Really? Then why did you sit in front of my house and cry the night I returned to China? Aren't you going on a date with him?"

Kang Zhuo didn't mention that night to anyone because he felt embarrassed and ashamed. If possible, he hoped to format the memory of that night in his brain.

He raised his eyes to look at Quan Huachen, with a hint of begging for mercy in his eyes, hoping that Quan Huachen would let him go and stop chasing this question, but Quan Huachen's half-drowned eyes seemed to be locked on the target It is impossible for a wild beast to be moved by the begging of its prey.

Kang Zhuo bowed his head in frustration: "Something happened, so I didn't go."

"What happened? What did Yin Dongfan do?" Quan Huachen grasped the key of the matter very keenly.

Kang Zhuo looked at Quan Huachen again, his facial features were still sharp and aggressive, but Kang Zhuo could tell that Quan Huachen cared about him, not the kind of pure outsider's curiosity, but a subtle but firm stand Kang Zhuo here.

He didn't ask "what's the matter with you" or "what's your conflict", he asked Kang Zhuo——

"What did Yin Dongfan do".

This reminded Kang Zhuo involuntarily of an incident that happened in elementary school.

When he was in the second grade, a new classmate named Guo Qi was transferred to the class who was repeated. He was tall and strong. He started to laugh at Kang Zhuo's hair color and appearance within two days after he arrived in the class.

At that time, the old version of Journey to the West was being broadcast on TV, and the monsters in it had weird makeup and colorful hair.

And Kang Zhuo's appearance is quite special, he is an indistinct mixed race, his bones are more oriental, but his hair is light chestnut, the irises of his eyes are also gray, and he is beautiful, like a little girl, Guo Qi laughs at him every day It's a monster.

Kang Zhuo tried to explain to him that the reason why he looked different from others was because his mother was a foreigner, and he inherited his mother's gene, which neutralized part of the melanin of the oriental people.

Guo Qi didn't pay attention to what he said, and led a group of younger brothers in the class to laugh at Kang Zhuo, and made up ugly tongue twisters to sing in the class every day.

Kang Zhuo didn't mention this to anyone.

Until one day, when Quan Huachen was accompanying him to do his homework, he saw a small slip of paper stuffed in his pencil bag. On it was Guo Qi's ugly handwriting mixed with pinyin, on which was written that humiliating tongue twister.

Quan Huachen came to pick Kang Zhuo up from school the next day, blocking Guo Qi and his little followers on campus.

"Guo Qi, right? You've been bullying Kang Zhuo?"

At that time, Quan Huachen was in college, and he was about the same height as he is now. He had a very short shaved head, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his exposed forearm was strong and strong, with prominent veins. Fierce is not to be trifled with.

He held Kang Zhuo with one hand, and pointed at Guo Qi's nose with the other.

"Boy, what kind of bastard are you? You can bully your classmates just because of how big you are, right? Come on, you have the ability to read that tongue twister in front of me today."

"read."

"Read it!"

The little followers screamed and dispersed, and Guo Qi was so frightened that he fell to the ground, crying for his mother.

Later, Kang Zhuo and Guo Qi's head teachers came and advised Quan Huachen not to bully the children, but Quan Huachen turned around and took her to scold them.

"Yo, I call it 'bullying'. This kid made up a tongue twister to call our family Kang Zhuo not called 'bullying', right? How do your teachers do things? Don't you know this is fucking campus bullying? Don't care if you know it? what teacher?"

There were already a circle of students and parents watching the fun, the head teacher wanted to quickly turn the big thing into a small one, so he explained that Guo Qi didn't care much about Kang Zhuo, it was just a verbal joke, and she would definitely discipline him well in the future.

How could Quan Huachen fail to understand what she meant, so he asked to see the principal on the spot. After hearing that Guo Qi was the principal's nephew, he resolutely decided to take Kang Zhuo to another school.

"What are you afraid of? If your father is not at home, you can tell your uncle if you have something to do. Do you hear me? How can you be bullied for nothing? Are you stupid, huh?"

Kang Zhuo didn't cry when he was laughed at by Guo Qi at school, and he didn't cry when he couldn't see his father at home, but he cried out snot and bubbles when Quan Huachen carried him home.

Looking at Quan Huachen in front of him, Kang Zhuo suddenly felt courageous and told him everything about that night.

Quan Huachen frowned after listening, and said after a moment of silence: "I will teach him a lesson."

Quan Huachen said the "lesson" must be a real "lesson", Kang Zhuo hurriedly said: "No need, I have already solved it."

"Solve it? How did you solve it?" Quan Huachen raised his eyebrows, "Wait until he comes to you and say a few good words pitifully, then forgive him?"

He was completely hit by what he said, and Kang Zhuo was annoyed.

"Kang Zhuo, you're still young, there's no need to be so eager to be tied to an alpha." Quan Huachen's tone was very serious, not like he was joking, "I know you like Yin Dongfan, but you have to remember, Before loving someone, you have to love yourself first, you must always put your own feelings first, understand."

Kang Zhuo stared at him blankly, and nodded with a vague understanding.

Quan Huachen stared at Kang Zhuo with deep eyes: "If alpha really likes an omega, he won't be willing to make him sad, think about it more, Kang Zhuo."
