Chapter 18

Yu Lan’s heart almost stopped beating.

Let Mr Shao… permanently mark him?

Let himself become Mr Shao’s omega…

Once this thought came out, Yu Lan felt his hands and feet become a little weak.

He was willing.

He was willing!

It’s just that Yu Lan never dared to think about it because he felt that if he let Mr Shao make his own choice, he(SMY) would never choose to permanently mark someone like him(YL), so all his requests would only add to Mr Shao’s troubles.

However, at this moment, Mr Shao’s words… even sounded a little compelling.

Yu Lan’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down.

For a moment, he almost couldn’t resist speaking.

After waiting for a while, the youth in front of him seemed to become stupid. Shao Mingyu sighed internally.

He rubbed Yu Lan’s head and said, “Where did you meet this friend? He knows me?”

Yu Lan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “He, he only knows that I live in someone else’s house.”

Shao Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why would you talk about this topic?”

Yu Lan, “…”

Because the other party asked him to ask Mr Shao to bite him, and seeing him not react, he was about to act on his own.

“Does little grape have secrets?” The man had a slight smile.

Yu Lan shrank his neck and blushed.

Shao Mingyu did not insist on asking more questions, looked at the time and said, “Alright, it’s very late now. After you eat the candy, hurry up to take a bath and rest.”

The man rubbed his head again and turned towards the stairs.

The man’s shoulders were broad, his waist was narrow, and although he was a businessman, his figure looked full of explosive power.

Yu Lan stared at the man’s back, thinking what would happen if he rushed over, hugged him and said “please mark me”?

And as his thought fell, the man was about to walk up the stairs and glanced back at him.

This glance seemed to be somewhat careless, however, when it lightly swept over, it was as if it swept Yu Lan’s heart.

“You can try.”

Mr Shao said so.

Yu Lan suddenly noticed that his stupidity on the rise.

He seemed to be encouraging him.

The next day when he went to the store, Yu Yi was indeed working.

Because they were busy, they couldn’t talk to each other and didn’t even make eye contact.

When Yu Lan came out after changing clothes, Yu Yi was waiting outside the changing room playing on his phone.

When he saw Yu Lan, he kept silent and got up to go in. Yu Lan said, “Yu Yi, I apologize for what happened yesterday, I’m sorry. I do like the person who took me in, but I never wanted to embarrass him on the whole permanent marking matter. I got jealous when you said you wanted to get to know him.”

Yu Lan thought about it but still wanted to make it clear.

After hearing this, Yu Yi looked at him and said, “I wouldn’t have said that kind of thing if I knew you liked him.”

“I know, I apologise.” Yu Lan once again said.

Yu Yi sighed and said, “That said, he’s willing to help you with the temporary mark, so why don’t you give it a try? Maybe he has a thing for you?”

Looking at Yu Lan’s expression, he tentatively asked, “Is the gap really that big?”

It was only when the gap reached a certain level that one would not even dare to fantasize about it.

Yu Lan was silent.

Yu Yi also became silent, finally patted Yu Lan’s shoulder and said, “Since this is the case, put away your mind early, don’t plant it.”

Yu Lan pursed his lips.

In fact, he wanted to say that recently, he always felt that Mr Shao was a little too intimate with him, and he had become a little bolder.

But still, he didn’t really want to let Yu Yi know too much about what was going on between him and Mr Shao.

When Yu Yi came out after changing his clothes, he seemed to be quite happy.

Before leaving, he also said to Yu Lan, “Speaking of which, I met an alpha yesterday, if you need it, I can see if I can introduce his friend to you!”

After speaking, he hummed and ran away briskly, as if in a hurry.

Yu Lan couldn’t even get his words out.

When Wen Zicheng heard this, he was surprised. “What? Don’t you already have an alpha?”

Yu Lan was embarrassed and said, “Between me and Mr Shao… we do not that kind of relationship.”

“That will probably come soon. I don’t think the atmosphere between you and him is pure.” Wen Zicheng bitterly said, “Don’t give up so easily and move on to other alpha!”

“I don’t want to meet other alphas!” Yu Lan covered his forehead.

After saying that, he paused and couldn’t help but come up to Wen Zicheng’s ear and whispered in a shy voice, “Does it really… not look pure?”

“……” Wen Zicheng stifled his laughter and said, “As I said, the way he looked at you, I think that there’s a possibility that he would walk over and just hug and kiss you.”

Yu Lan covered his face, his ears were so red that they looked like they were bleeding.

Wen Zicheng, “Hahahaha what kind of reaction is this!”

Not long ago, Yu Lan thought his crush was bitter.

But unknowingly, this crush turned sweet.

Like a fruit candy.

The next few days were calm and quiet.

Yu Yi seemed to fall in love all of a sudden. Although Yu Lan felt a little weird, he didn’t bother with it too much.

Until the weekend.

Wen Zicheng gave Yu Lan a day off each week, so Yu Lan went back to the manor after class today.

Mr Shao went to the office early in the morning and said he would not return tonight because he had to attend a reception in the evening on a neighboring planet and would not return until tomorrow morning.

Yu Lan felt a lost without being able to see Mr Shao for a day, putting several grape-flavoured candies in his pocket, walking Little Spark while stuffing them into his mouth.

On the way, he also met Liu Yu, Uncle Liu’s son. He didn’t know what was going on, but Liu Yu saw him from afar, stiffly smiled, said hello then slipped away, very quickly, leaving Yu Lan bewildered.

He remembered that Mr Shao said Liu Yu’s holiday was almost over and there was a lot of homework… He probably went to catch up on homework, right?

Yu Lan knew that primary and secondary schools have holiday homework, but it turns out you also have to work hard in university?

Putting aside his doubts, he popped a candy into his mouth and continued to walk his dog while thinking about Mr Shao.

In the meantime, he scratched the back of his next again- the discomfort there had not disappeared. He just felt that Mr Shao wouldn’t let him scratch if he saw, so Yu Lan would hold back every tim ehe was in front of the man.

After having dinner, he suddenly received a call from Yu Yi.

The other side of the phone was noisy, and Yu Yi slurred his words a bit, sounding like he was drunk.

“Yu Lan, I, I found someone who can take me out of the aid agency! I can live in someone else’s home just like you, hahahahaha!”

There were people singing and shouting in the background and the sounds of glasses clinking.

Just as Yu Yi finished speaking, a male voice rang out from the phone, “Come home with me tonight.”

“Okay,” Yu Yi said as if he had forgotten he was on the phone, his voice very sweet, “Want to mark me?”

The man chuckled.

Yu Lan was alert. “Yu Yi?”

“Ah, Yu Lan, by the way,” Yuichi said drunkenly as he snapped back to his senses, “Do you want to come over? I’d like to introduce my boyfriend to you!”

“Yu Yi, is it okay if you leave that place now first?” Yu Lan said.

“Eh? Why?” Yu Yi stretched his voice, as if he was too drunk to understand.

On the other end, the man beside him lazily said, “Stop fighting, we’re leaving now.”

“Ah, wait, I want my friend to meet you!” Yu Yi spoke to Yu Lan again, his voice choked up, “Ah Lan, actually I was quite envious of you when I heard you were taken in. Although I was rescued, living in a rescue facility felt almost like being locked up in a cage. I want a home too.”

Yu Lan closed his eyes.

But not all houses can be called “home”.

Yu Lan wanted to distance himself from Yu Yi.

He did not want Yu Yi to set foot in the space between him and Mr Shao, nor was he going to set foot in Yu Yi’s world.

But he did not expect Yu Yi to do things or so rashly, so rashly that he had nothing to say.

Again, they could finally try to return to a normal life. He didn’t want Yu Yi to choose the wrong path, because he couldn’t be rescued each time he got into trouble.

He advised him once and Yu Yi did not listen.

Things shouldn’t be done three times, and now, he could only help Yu Yi one more time.

And also for the last time.

Yu Lan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then calmly asked, “Where are you?”

The author has something to say:

Yu Lan: I have a friend…

Shao Mingyu (tenderly): Mhm, I know.

Yu Lan: … No, you don’t!
