The old man and some older uncles couldn’t stay up all night, so they went to bed first, while the young people chatted with friends on their phones. Lu Yan made some overseas calls, while Lu Yue was tired after playing all day, and was carried back to the bedroom by his mother.
Lu Yunye, on the other hand, entered Shi Yi’s room openly, blocking someone who he could see but not eat at the foot of the bed.
Shi Yi firmly grabbed the hem of his pajamas to prevent him from messing around. “It’s already late.”
“But you ignored me during the day.” Lu Yunye was rather dissatisfied.
“Tomorrow is also very tiring, and I won’t be able to get up,” Shi Yi softened his voice. “Let me be once, okay?”
Shi Yi has never shown weakness like this before. Lu Yunye’s heart melted into sugary syrup – this little thing was getting more and more good at dealing with him.
He hugged the thin waist and sniffed the back of the slender neck. The person in his arms flinched, but couldn’t escape his firm embrace.
In order not to let others find out, Lu Yunye had to leave early in the morning to return back to his room the next day. Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he said sullenly, “Then you owe me once.”
“…Okay,” Shi Yi reluctantly responded.
Unexpectedly, with a beautiful partner in his arms, the temptation of warm and fragrant soft jade was too great. When Lu Yunye opened his eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.
He moved and moved his body away. The omega in his arms was still sleeping soundly, and hummed unhappily when he moved.
Lu Yunye hurriedly stretched out his hand to help someone block the sunlight, pulled the curtains tight, carefully dressed and got out of bed.
The first day of the New Year is a day to visit relatives and friends, and Lu Yunye cannot be absent. However, the beds in the east courtyard were neatly folded, and there was no wrinkle on the quilt. The old man wondered, “Did you go out so early?”
After tricking him yesterday, Lu Yan helped his cousin lie: “Maybe he went out to exercise early.”
“He hasn’t eaten yet, his stomach will be hungry,” the granny who is cooking said worriedly.
“That kid, call him now.” Lu Feng was annoyed.
Just when everyone was suspicious about his whereabouts, they saw Lu Yunye walking out of the west courtyard with a bag of clothes, yawning and scratching his head. He looked like an adulterer who had just had an affair.
Lu Yunye didn’t expect that everyone would block him in the east courtyard instead of eating breakfast, and subconsciously said, “What are you all doing so early?”
Mr. Lu raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder. “Early? What early? Sneaking away after spending the night with your omega. Can you be more respectable!”
The evening meal couldn’t be eaten[mfn]as in he couldn’t have sex with Shi Yi[/mfn], and he was beaten for no reason. Lu Yunye couldn’t complain about his grievances, so he stood there and suffered the blows. “It’s not too late, I’ll rent a business car later, and can finish visiting everyone in one trip.”
The first to the third days are spent visiting relatives and friends. Then there are a few days of rest before work starts again.
Taking advantage of the short vacation, Song Wei and Dai Xing started to make moves again, forming a group chat and preparing a trip.
“Lao Lu, are you going?” Dr. Song’s lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bring your family with you. It’s a great opportunity to deepen relationships.”
Lu Yunye didn’t want to go at first, but when he heard this sentence, he asked again: “Are you sure?”
“Why not,” Song Wei said. “Watch the sunrise, hold hands, go to the beach, and propose. Easy.”
This sentence was heard by Lu Yan next to him, who asked, “Who’s speaking? Their voice sounds good.”
“A friend.” Lu Yunye said.
“Yo, is there anyone around?” Song Wei said. “Omega?”
“En,” Lu Yunye replied to both sides. “My cousin.”
“The public relations director of Yunye Media? Bring them with you, we can get to know each other.”
This matter was decided out of nowhere. Lu Yan’s friends are all abroad, and he was worried about staying at home alone, so he happily agreed.
Before the new year, island travel was very popular, but after Chinese New Year, there were fewer tourists. The small group met in the south, rented a car, and drove slowly along the national highway.
Both Dai Xing and Song Wei are idlers. Zheng Kai’s partner is pregnant, so they didn’t come and focused on raising the baby. A large van with three rows and seven seats easily fit the group of five.
It’s still snowing in the north, but it’s already warm as spring in the south, and thin long sleeves are enough.
For the first half of the drive, Lu Yunye was accompanied by Shi Yi in the co-pilot seat. After lunch, Song Wei became the driver, and Lu Yan took the co-pilot seat.
After the busy New Year festivities and driving, Lu Yunye started to catch up on sleep with peace of mind. He lay on Shi Yi’s lap, and even made a show of raising his hand in front of the latter. “It’s sore, give it a squeeze.”
Shi Yi pretended not to see, and propped his head on one hand and looked out the window. The roadside was full of budding flowers, completely different from the wintry north.
Seeing someone ignoring him, Lu Yunye put his arms around Shi Yi’s waist calmly, moved up half an inch and gently pressed it. Shi Yi was ticklish there, so he couldn’t hold back his smile and dodged immediately, but he moved too much and hit the car window. There was a thud, and he gasped in pain.
Seeing Shi Yi upset, Lu Yunye didn’t dare nap anymore, so he quickly sat up and pulled him in his arms. “Let me blow it.”
“Who wants you to blow it!” Shi Yi was furious, but he couldn’t escape being kissed forcibly until he was red.
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Song Wei yawned while holding the steering wheel with one hand: “Hey, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, they’re quite noisy.”
The driver’s most taboo is drowsiness. Lu Yan has not forgotten his duty, so he could only come up with topics to help keep Song Wei sober. “Does Dr. Song have any ‘friends’? Don’t doctors have a lot of stories?”
“What about you?” Song Wei squinted at him. “In North America, very few people can remain unpolluted.”
“Didn’t I come back to China?” Lu Yan smiled. “The relationship is broken.”
“All?” Song Wei straightened up. “I won’t be sleepy if we talk about this.”
“How many alphas has little brother dated?”
“I’m not that much younger than you,” Lu Yan said seriously. “Also, I don’t like alphas.”
“Your words offended a small half of the car.” Song Wei joked.
“That doesn’t include you.” Lu Yan blinked, his water-blue eyes were innocent. “It means you don’t like alphas either.”
“I don’t.” Song Wei tapped on the steering wheel with two fingers. “I don’t like brats either.”
Lu Yan snorted, “Old people should be worried about their performance.”
While waiting to check in at the hotel, the two of them were still playing word games. Five people booked four suites. Except for Lu Yunye and Shi Yi, everyone else had their own room.
After being on the road all day, it was already dark. Their suites were a 10 minute walk to the beach, and it was the busiest time on the beach at this moment. The sun was low in the sky, gilding the waters in a dull afterglow.
While the two omegas changed clothes upstairs, the rest of them went to fiddle with the grill. Both lobster and king crab are pre-ordered. A crab leg is comparable to a teenager’s forearm, and the meat inside is soft and tender after a little heat.
“Hey, let me ask, what’s your progress now?” Dai Xing bent down and elbowed the person beside him. “Have you proposed yet?”
Lu Yunye threw more charcoal into the grill. “Shi Yi has things to do first.”
“So now you like him, and he likes you too.” Dai Xing keenly sensed the key point Lu Yunye didn’t mention. “You’re still not taking action! This…”
Following a burst of whistles, the two looked into the distance to see Shi Yi and Lu Yan coming over talking and laughing.
Shi Yi was wearing a sleeveless vest, and his lower body was beach shorts that just reached his knees. His long legs were slender and straight. From a distance, he looked beautiful, irrespective of gender.
Lu Yan wore a pink cardigan jacket. The warm sea breeze blew the front of his jacket open, and onlookers can see the faintly laid out abdominal muscles.
Apart from the tourists on the beach, there were several prodigals who came to hunt for beauty. There were whistles one after another, accompanied by some warm invitations. “Handsome guy, come and have a seat?”
Also, in order to attract customers, the owner of the barbecue stall also said, “You two come here and eat, free of charge!”
Lu Yan was not surprised and Shi Yi was indifferent, but alarm bells rang in Lu Yunye’s heart. He suddenly felt that the whole beach was dangerous.
“Look,” Dai Xing pointed, “Your wife is very charming, he might be abducted someday!”
“Leave it to me tonight,” he patted Lu Yunye on the shoulder. “Brother will give you a hand!”
“Don’t mess around,” Lu Yunye was vigilant, and wanted to say something, but found someone else had already greeted Shi Yi and Lu Yan. He hurriedly put down the skewers and dragged his omega to his side.
“You two, don’t run around.” He told the two omegas sternly.
“I’ve been to more places than you have walked.” Lu Yan didn’t take his elder cousin’s words seriously at all, and hugged Song Wei’s shoulders with a smile. “Right, Dr. Song?”
“You’re in good shape,” Song Wei glanced over without hesitation.
“Look at yours.” Lu Yan raised an eyebrow.
Song Wei tore off his vest, and immediately attracted the attention of their surroundings, causing bursts of exclamation.
When two sea kings[mfn]as in people who play in the circle, aka have many relationships etc[/mfn]are together, naturally whoever holds back first will lose.
Lu Yunye didn’t want to talk to the two lunatics, so he tightly held Shi Yi’s hand. “We can eat in a while.”
“I’m not very hungry.” Shi Yi kicked off his slippers, stepped barefoot on the beach, and said leisurely, “You grill first, I’ll go over there for a walk.”
” I’ll accompany you.” Lu Yunye immediately said.
“I want to get some air by myself.” Shi Yi pushed him away. “Besides, you still have to grill food. What if you don’t have enough to eat after coming back?”
Lu Yunye froze in place, wanting to drag Shi Yi back. He was torn between worrying about making Shi Yi angry from overreacting, and panicking that he wouldn’t be able to see Shi Yi on the beach.
He could only catch up with and put the coat stained in his scent around Shi Yi’s shoulders and say falteringly: “It’s windy, don’t catch a cold.”
Shi Yi didn’t refuse, and left with a coat that was a few sizes bigger than his own. Lu Yunye returned to the grill dejectedly, facing the playful gazes of the group.
Lu Yan’s expression was a bit indescribable: “Brother… has brother-in-law ever said that you look at him like a big dog?”
“He just went for a walk, and didn’t leave you behind…”
At the same time, the person in question walking didn’t feel his dog’s pitiful gaze at all.
Shi Yi stepped on the beach with bare feet, and walked to the water’s edge. The waves tickled his insteps, brushing against him with strands of fine sand, soft and itchy.
After leaving the familiar city and jumping out from the unchanging pace of life, he felt a strange incomparable ease. He raised his head. The moon had already risen, and the silver light sprinkled on the sea surface, scattering sparkling light.
It feels like a long, long time since he’s seen such a round moon…
Shi Yi took out his mobile phone to take a picture. He remembered that when he was a child, Little Pinecone accompanied him to wait for the driver outside the school gate, and sometimes they would see such a full moon on top of the school buildings. He didn’t think much about it and directly opened WeChat to send the photo, feeling a little awkward after sending it and not knowing what to say.
Shi Yi was quite distressed. He sat down on the beach, causing the mobile phone in the coat to slip out of the pocket.
“Ah!” Shi Yi exclaimed, and quickly caught Lu Yunye’s cell phone. If it fell into the water, it would be troublesome!
Before he could put the phone back, he saw the screen flicker, and a message popped up:
[The most difficult little rabbit in the world: [Picture.jpg]]
