"Isn't the fundamental purpose of your coming to me today to talk about Kang Zhuo?" Kang Shicheng picked up the wine cup and drank the remaining half glass of wine. He stopped talking, but the extremely oppressive Songbai The alpha pheromones gradually spread out.

Quan Huachen didn't dare to resist, forcibly withstood his coercion, filled his wine cup again, and said frankly: "I didn't know that Kang Zhuo had already told you about us."

Quan Huachen looked at Kang Shicheng's expression, and guessed that the good impression he left during the dinner conversation just now was gone.

He really didn't expect that Kang Zhuo had already disclosed their relationship to Kang Shicheng. Then Kang Shicheng agreed to eat his meal, probably because he had the mentality of investigating him, but Quan Huachen didn't mention Kang Zhuo at all. In my heart, I might have already given him a negative score.

After being quiet in the box for a long time, Kang Shicheng looked at Quan Huachen again: "I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer me honestly."

"Yes, you said."

"You and Kang Zhuo, who is chasing whom?"

"I'm chasing him."

"Before you were together, did you induce him with pheromones?"

"Have."

"Did you cross the line before he agreed to be with you?"

"If the transgression involved physical contact such as hugging, yes."

……

Kang Shicheng asked questions very quickly, without giving Quan Huachen time to think, but the questions were very sharp. He didn't ask about Quan Huachen's subjective intentions, but only asked about objective facts. The more he asked, the deeper his frown became.

Quan Huachen knew that each of his answers could be complained by Omega to the anti-alpha infringement association, but he did not intend to lie or whitewash.

"The last question, have you got involved in the relationship between Kang Zhuo and Yin Dongfan?"

"No, they broke up not because of me. But given what I know about my nephew, I did advise Kang Zhuo to think more about it during their relationship."

At the end of Kang Shicheng's question, he just stared at the wine cup in front of him. The wine cup was already empty, and Quan Huachen didn't add any more wine, but poured him a cup of hot tea.

Kang Shicheng stared at the cup of tea without moving. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Quan Huachen: "Except for the last question, your answer and Kang Zhuo's answer are completely opposite."

Quan Huachen's heart skipped a beat: "What did he say?"

"He said that he fell in love with you first, and he pursued you first. Before he confessed, you didn't make any hints, and even hid the pheromones well... You made him feel safe, relaxed, happy, and made him feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I feel like I have a home."

For a moment, Quan Huachen's emotions were on the verge of losing control. He felt that he had to leave the table to go to the bathroom or the smoking room, or even just stand in the corridor for a while. He got up faster and walked to the window with his back facing him, Quan Huachen finally took a deep breath, restraining the astringent pain flooding in his heart.

Quan Huachen didn't know Kang Shicheng well, but he could feel from Kang Zhuo's few words that he was a strict and unreasonable father, so Quan Huachen had already thought about it, if Kang Zhuo was ready to disclose them to Kang Shicheng Quan Huachen will be responsible for all his anger, and Kang Zhuo just needs to stand aside and wait for his father to dissipate his anger.

It is the alpha's responsibility to protect his partner from harm, and it is the duty of the elderly. Quan Huachen is 12 years older than Kang Zhuo, so he should be his shield.

But in the end, Quan Huachen was the one to be protected.

On the second day they were together, Kang Zhuo mustered up the courage to defend him in front of Yin Dongfan. Even though Yin Dongfan sent so many misleading photos, Kang Zhuo never believed him once.

On the first day of the new year, their relationship was broken by Quan Xiao. Kang Zhuo chose to accept the pressure from Quan Xiao alone, not wanting to bring any unpleasantness to Quan Huachen.

Today, before Quan Huachen wanted to take a step forward, Kang Zhuo had already cleared all the obstacles in his way ahead of time, and he persuaded Kang Shicheng alone.

And up to this moment, the number of times Kang Zhuo made any request to Quan Huachen was zero.

Nothing to get, no hesitation to give.

Learn to cherish before being cherished, and learn to love before being loved.

This is Kang Zhuo, Quan Huachen's omega.

"Since Kang Zhuo chose you, I won't interfere with anything, but there are some things you must be clear about." Kang Shicheng suddenly turned his head, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he sat back next to Quan Huachen, pushing the empty wine cup to him.

Quan Huachen filled the wine cup, nodded cautiously: "Say it."

"You should know that Kang Zhuo's mother, Aiya, died very early, due to some complications caused by gland failure." Kang Shicheng picked up the wine cup and drank it down, "Kang Zhuo followed Professor Liu to study glands, I'm afraid A large part of it is because of his mother."

Kang Zhuo seldom mentioned his mother to Quan Huachen, but Quan Huachen could guess some.

"He only knows that his mother's health is not good, the glands are not good, but he doesn't know why."

Kang Shicheng frowned deeply, the corner of the mask that had been unchanged for many years was finally lifted off, half of the word "sorrow" was exposed.

"I never told Kang Zhuo about this. Aiya actually damaged the gland because of the mark washing. With the technology at the time, the success rate of the omega mark washing operation was as high as 80%, but Aya was that 20%. "

Quan Huachen was stunned for a moment, and he asked uncertainly: "Did Madam wash the mark...?"

Kang Shicheng turned his head to meet Shang Quan Huachen's gaze: "In the fifth year of my marriage, when Kang Zhuo was five years old."

That day in the study, when Kang Zhuo sat opposite Kang Shicheng and said he wanted to be with Quan Huachen, he looked exactly like Aiya when she said she wanted to divorce him.

The same firmness, seriousness, and determination.

When Kang Zhuo said that he and Quan Huachen were "very happy, as if they had a family", Kang Shicheng suddenly felt dizzy. He thought in a trance that he had failed once as a husband 14 years ago. Now he has failed again as a father.

After Kang Zhuo left, Kang Shicheng was alone in the study in a daze. He groped along the vine of memory, trying to find the root of all failures.

Then he saw, the first time he and Aya met.

"Our Kang family has been soldiers for several generations. I was also in the army when I was young, but I did not become a qualified soldier. Instead, I grew into a scumbag..."

He slowly talked about his past in the wine, as if he was talking to Quan Huachen, but also as if he was talking to himself.

Kang Shicheng also has an alpha brother above him. Compared with the rebellious and gloomy Kang Shicheng, the mature and stable brother is more liked by his parents. His brother is excellent in all aspects, and Kang Shicheng is often blamed by his parents for not being as good as his brother.

Kang Shicheng was tired of his parents' endless nagging and the boring training in the army, so one day when he was on vacation, he went to the Foreign Language Institute two streets away to watch foreign students' performances with a few friends to have fun.

Kang Shicheng, standing at the end of the crowd, saw Aiya dancing on the stage at a glance. She was dancing flamenco, and her flying red skirt looked like a burning fire.

Kang Shicheng still remembers every movement she performed on the stage at that time. When Kang Zhuo was about to give up the dance interest class, he secretly regretted it for a long time.

That night, out of some kind of rebellious psychology, Kang Shicheng and Aiya exchanged contact information under the instigation of all the young people.

Aiya has blond hair and gray eyes. She is bright and attractive. She is as lively and cheerful as all the people of R country. She is like a little sun. There are many suitors around her, but she just chose Kang Shicheng.

Kang Shicheng had seen those alphas or betas who revolved around her, he was not outstanding at all, but later Aiya told him that on the stage of the performance that night, she also noticed a group of young people standing far away under the street lights Although the officers are wearing casual clothes, they have broad shoulders, long legs, and straight backs, which are really different from the students. The melancholy world-weariness emanating from Kang Shicheng's body is very attractive to her.

Kang Shicheng didn't understand what it meant to be "world-weary", he only knew that his character was indeed unlikable, and only Aiya didn't dislike him.

So, like all dances, they danced in love with each other in the climax of the melody, and then desperately stagnated in the sudden variation.

Aya is pregnant.

But the soldiers of the country of Hua are not allowed to marry wives from other countries.

Kang Shicheng knew, but he didn't care when he was in love.

Aya didn't know, she knew after she got pregnant.

Kang Shicheng didn't want to mention the chaos in his family and work at that time, he just briefly said that he still married Aiya later, and the price was that he retired from the army and took up politics.Aiya also fell out with the rich businessman's parents in country R, ​​and married Kang Shicheng who had nothing with her savings from the past few years.

But even in politics, having a foreign wife always means not being trusted by the top, Kang Shicheng had a hard time at the grassroots level, and he spent almost all his time on work in order to prove to everyone that he was doing the right thing So much so that he completely ignored his wife and children at home.

He didn't know that Aya was deeply shocked by the culture and couldn't adapt to the life in Huaguo; he also didn't know that Aya suffered from severe postpartum depression after giving birth to Kang Zhuo due to lack of alpha pheromone comfort for a long time; On the exhausted night after he got home, Aya was in the midst of blaming herself and suffering.

At that time, Kang Shicheng came home more often than now, but every time he came home, Aya was always greeted by crying. With a good future, he had been promoted to captain when he was young in the army, and Kang Shicheng was just a dispensable member of the grassroots, so Kang Shicheng should not marry her.

Kang Shicheng replied like this at the time——

"What's the point of saying this now? You will help me a lot by taking care of the child at home and not crying in front of me."

Kang Shicheng always felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong in the following years, but suddenly one day, Aiya walked into the study and said to him:

"My dear, I have decided to divorce you."

Her tone was soft but firm, definitely not joking.

Kang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, he was confused at first, then angry, he ignored Aiya's thinness and her pale face, and loudly accused her of being an irresponsible mother.

"Kang Zhuo is still so young, even if you don't think about this family, at least think about the child, he is only five years old this year!"

They ended up not divorcing, but Aya was determined to wash off the mark and separate from him.In fact, Kang Shicheng didn't have much time to come and go home, and they were no different from a real separation.

According to Aiya's intentions, they still signed certain agreements to gradually divide the property, and they will go through the divorce procedures after Kang Zhuo grows up.

However, the accident came one step earlier than tomorrow.

Aya died a year later from complications of marking cleaning surgery.

It's ridiculous and sad that Kang Shicheng's official career has been unimpeded since then.

After Kang Shicheng said all this, the private room was very quiet. He raised his head and drank from the wine cup again, only to find that it was water when he drank into his mouth.

Quan Huachen called the waiter and asked for another pot of hot tea.

This time Quan Huachen directly took away Kang Shicheng's wine cup, and pushed the glass of hot tea in front of him: "Don't worry, Deputy Kang, I will never let Kang Zhuo go this far."

Kang Shicheng shook his head, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no drunkenness in his eyes, and the eyes he was looking at Quan Huachen were still as sharp as a falcon: "I don't need your promise, you and I both know that Alpha's promise is Fart, I just want you to remember two things."

"One, don't repeat the old ways of the previous generation, and take good care of Kang Zhuo."

"Second, if you fail to achieve the first point, then I can tell you that I can't guarantee it in the whole country, but in City A, as long as I am in power for a day, no pharmacy will dare to sell your Quanhe medicine."

It was late at night, Kang Shicheng said goodbye to Quan Huachen, got into the car, and said to the driver in the front row: "It's been a hard trip to the cemetery."

The driver is a simple and honest beta. He has been with Kang Shicheng for more than ten years. He laughed cheerfully: "It's not hard, the flowers are ready. You have been running around for the past few months and have no time to go home. It's almost Chinese New Year , madam must also want to see you."

Kang Shicheng didn't speak, he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, but when the driver stopped the car at the gate of the cemetery, he woke up immediately.

Lao Liu, who was on the night shift in the cemetery, knew Kang Shicheng very well. When he saw Kang Shicheng's car, he immediately went up to open the door for him. Don't put my coat on."

Kang Shicheng shook his head, and said to Lao Liu, "I'm here to trouble you again."

He glanced at the driver, and the driver immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from the car and handed it to Lao Liu. Lao Liu was not polite, took out one from the cigarette case, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Kang, one is enough to satisfy your hunger." .”

Next, there is no need for Lao Liu to lead the way, Kang Shicheng can find the direction even in the dark.

There were no street lights in the cemetery, so Lao Liu and the driver stood and waited with flashlights at a distance. Kang Shicheng came to Aya's tombstone with flowers in his arms.

It was almost 11 o'clock at night, and the snow had only fallen a few days ago. The winter night was cold, and the evening wind was howling. Occasionally, a cat meowed or two, making the cemetery even more eerie.

But Kang Shicheng was not afraid at all, and was even very relaxed. He squatted down, put the bouquet in front of the tombstone, and gently stroked the black and white photo of Aya on the tombstone. He suddenly wanted to just sit there all night and talk to her about their relationship When we met for the first time, we talked about the small park we often met when we were dating, about the troubles we encountered at work, and about our son’s new boyfriend...

Kang Shicheng smiled unknowingly, and life didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined.

But all this is meaningless.

Kang Shicheng opened his mouth and let out a cloud of steam. He looked at the tombstone silently for a while, and finally said, "I am not a good husband, nor a good father. Don't meet me again in your next life."

Kang Shicheng turned and left, leaving only a bouquet of white roses in front of the stele whispering in the cold wind.
