Chapter 15: He's Going on a Business Trip

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You forgot the tie."

"No need for toothbrush and toothpaste."

Nan Yi bustled about the bedroom as He Yu sat on the bed, observing coldly.

He clumsily packed for the stoic-faced alpha.

Strangely, He Yu only spoke when Nan Yi grabbed something unnecessary.

Amidst He Yu's constant reminders that they only had half an hour left, the bedroom became increasingly chaotic under Nan Yi's frantic search.

Sweat formed on his forehead.

An hour later, wiping away the perspiration, he finally looked at the neatly arranged suitcase.

At last, everything was in order.

He Yu: "Done?"

He Yu silently regarded a relieved Nan Yi, casting a casual glance at the closed suitcase on the floor.

Nan Yi nodded, clearly nervous.

He Yu's brow furrowed slightly, stating coldly, "Something's missing."

Softening his voice, he added while observing Nan Yi's tightly clenched hands, "Pants."

Nan Yi was momentarily taken aback.

He recalled that when he had taken the pants earlier, He Yu had assured him it was enough.

What changed now?

[Didn't you say it was enough?]

Nan Yi held his phone up for He Yu to see. Standing, he was slightly taller than the seated man, prompting He Yu to glance up.

After glimpsing at the message, He Yu chuckled, "I meant underwear."

In an instant, Nan Yi's face flushed, a rosy hue spreading. He stood motionless before He Yu.

Rarely interacting with others, even close proximity could make him shy, let alone fetching such private items now.

And they weren't even his.

He Yu stared at Nan Yi's blushing earlobes. After a few seconds, he stood up.

"Take note of where things are. Be more careful next time."

He walked leisurely to a wardrobe and pulled open a small drawer filled with identical black boxers.

Grabbing two or three, He Yu placed them in the suitcase.

He looked up at the still-flushing Nan Yi, "If you need more clothes, they're in the walk-in closet at the end of the hallway."

As He Yu finished packing, a knock echoed from the door, signaling the butler's arrival.

Picking up the suitcase, He Yu moved to the door, pausing to look back.

"Regarding last night, don't let me see that again."

Nan Yi nodded once more.

Pleased by his compliance, He Yu pulled him into an embrace and bit his pinkish earlobe.

As Nan Yi touched his ear in shock, He Yu descended the staircase and left.

After He Yu's departure on business, the villa was often inhabited only by Nan Yi.

Song Jing often stayed out all night and didn't pick on Nan Yi as much, bringing a semblance of peace.

Rare moments of tranquility.

He stayed in the villa for almost a week, either reading comics or daydreaming on the balcony.

Days went by and Nan Yi couldn't find a comic he liked, perhaps this was the epitome of boredom.

So, one day Nan Yi left the house, planning to stroll around, and perhaps look for a job.

Passing by the hospital where Bai Shan Yao worked, he remembered how Bai had come to his rescue that night.

Coincidentally, there was a flower vendor nearby selling bouquets, and Nan Yi bought one, wanting to thank Bai Shan Yao.

There was a long line of patients waiting.

Not wanting to disturb Bai Shan Yao's work, he waited outside for a long time.

At lunchtime, a beta doctor emerged.

"You're here for Doctor Bai, aren't you?" The beta doctor observed Nan Yi's eager stance as the door opened and asked with a smile.

Nan Yi nodded, thinking how accurate the doctor's guess was.

"Doctor Bai resigned, it's been over a week. People come looking for him every day," the beta doctor said, glancing at his watch.

He looked up with a deeper smile, "But you're the only one who brought flowers. Do you have feelings for Doctor Bai?"

Hearing of Bai Shan Yao's resignation, Nan Yi felt a tinge of sadness, staring at the flowers in his hand.

He didn't expect such a comment from the beta doctor and blushed deeply.

He shook his head in denial.

"Don't be shy. Doctor Bai is handsome and a top-tier alpha. It's natural for a cute omega like you to be smitten," the beta doctor said teasingly.

With a flushed face, Nan Yi quickly placed the bouquet behind him on a chair.

In sign language: "No! I just wanted to thank him!"

The beta doctor was taken aback, not expecting the adorable omega in front of him to be mute.

There was a hint of sympathy in his eyes, and he gently consoled, "Don't worry, you'll meet Doctor Bai someday."

After saying this, the beta doctor turned and left.

With a slightly reddened face, Nan Yi stood there, lost in thought.

He brought the unsent bouquet back to He Yu Shen's villa.

Beautiful sunflowers mixed with white and yellow roses; the flowers were too pretty for Nan Yi to discard.

And it cost thirty dollars.

Upon entering, Nan Yi's motion to hold the flowers came to a sudden halt.

He Yu Shen, who had been away on business, was back, seated in the living room with his back to the entrance.
