Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Yin Zhaoshu didn't like making unfounded speculations. But since Xie Sicen had said those words, he had to seriously consider whether there were really problems in his relationship with Qi Zhiyu.

If it's just about drinking, does Xie Sicen really need to make him take it so seriously?

After much deliberation, Yin Zhaoshu tried calling Qi Zhiyu again, but there was no answer. Time and time again, the result was the same.

Qi Zhiyu has no classes this morning, but a full afternoon. If he wanted to go look for her, it wouldn't be impossible.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Yin Zhaoshu learned that Qi Zhiyu was on leave, and this request for leave made Yin Zhaoshu even more irritable.

We were drinking yesterday, and today it's already the rainy season?

Unable to contact Qi Zhiyu, Yin Zhaoshu thought of Xie Sicen and sent her a message.

What did you see at night?

Upon seeing Yin Zhaoshu's message, Xie Sichen understood that Yin Zhaoshu was currently unable to contact Qi Zhiyu, let alone find him.

Xie Sichen didn't think there was any credibility to her claim that she saw Qi Zhiyu and Lu Zhiyan leaving the bar together before their upcoming period of intimacy.

[Friend, seeing isn't always believing, and hearing is often unreliable. Besides, I don't want to be the one gossiping behind people's backs. I'm just telling you to pay more attention to your boyfriend; otherwise, it's perfectly reasonable for an unmarried omega to choose someone else before being permanently marked, isn't it?]

Yin Zhaoshu stared intently at the statement that it was reasonable for unmarried omegas to choose someone else before being permanently marked, but even their temporary marking was so perfectly matched...

Even though Qi Zhiyu relied on him so much during every rainy season, Yin Zhaoshu couldn't understand why he would seek out someone else.

Were all the promises Qi Zhiyu made to him just empty words?

Come to think of it, Qi Zhiyu hasn't contacted him for over a month, since that last time during their intimate moments...

Yin Zhaoshu felt that if she continued to speculate wildly, she might discover that she had been abandoned, thanks to Xie Sicen's reminder.

Xie Sichen watched as Yin Zhaoshu's "darkening value" fluctuated and increased by a fraction of a second. It seemed that Yin Zhaoshu was already mentally prepared to face the possibility that Qi Zhiyu might be someone else.

Xie Sichen, always eager to make her presence known, frequently appeared at the place where Yin Zhaoshu worked, under the pretext of helping Ruan Xihe or going to the cake shop.

Eating together, drinking together, going to part-time jobs together... Xie Sichen wanted to gradually get Yin Zhaoshu to habitually accompany her through these small things.

After getting used to it, Yin Zhaoshu will naturally find it difficult to adapt to life without him.

Judging from Qi Zhiyu's focus on Lu Zhiyan, Xie Sicen felt that this approach had a high chance of success.

[Hey buddy, wanna go for a drink?]

Unable to shake off his irritability, Yin Zhaoshu accepted the proposal.

By evening, since it was Yin Zhaoshu's first time at Nightfall, he could smell the chaotic pheromone scent as soon as he entered the room.

Is it safe for omegas to come to a place like this?

If an omega encounters a despicable and powerful alpha young master, he is nothing more than prey to be targeted.

However, Qi Zhiyu is no ordinary omega; he has the Qi family backing him. Anyone who wants to touch Qi Zhiyu has to consider whether they are worthy enough.

So Qi Zhiyu did it voluntarily?

Xie Sicen waved to Yin Zhaoshu, but the other person didn't look over for a long time.

Helpless, he had no choice but to walk over to greet Yin Zhaoshu himself. "Can't you see me?"

"Thinking about something." Yin Zhaoshu snapped out of her reverie, still somewhat dazed and stunned as she looked at Xie Sicen, who wasn't wearing a hat.

Xie Sicen understood and nodded to Yin Zhaoshu in response: "We've booked a private room, let's go."

After the two entered the private room, the air that Yin Zhaoshu was breathing suddenly became fresh, and the noise from the outside world was also shut out.

Soon a bunch of alcoholic beverages were brought in: cocktails, beer, wine, spirits...

Yin Zhaoshu stared in astonishment at the table laden with food.

Xie Sicen said casually, "I didn't know what you wanted to drink, so I ordered a little of everything."

Looking at the table full of wine, Yin Zhaoshu asked with difficulty, "You can really drink?"

"Friend, I've never been drunk before, so I don't know my exact alcohol tolerance. Even if I get drunk with you once, it's no big deal. Anyway, you're an alpha, and I'm a beta, so I can't smell your pheromones." Xie Sichen casually put a glass of wine to her lips, opened her mouth, and quickly swallowed it in one gulp.

Yin Zhaoshu thought it was okay; what did it matter if he got drunk once because he couldn't contact Qi Zhiyu?

It's really okay...

The wine glasses, filled to the brim, were emptied one by one as the two silently drank in silence.

Xie Sichen was not drunk at all, but when she saw Yin Zhaoshu's face flushed and his eyes glazed over from drinking, she wanted to laugh.

Even in this state, they still mechanically chug down cup after cup.

Xie Sicen took the empty wine glass from Yin Zhaoshu's hand, but Yin Zhaoshu suddenly tried to snatch it back.

Xie Sichen nimbly dodged, placed the empty wine glass on the table, and then grabbed Yin Zhaoshu's wrist to stop him.

"Yin Zhaoshu, are you still conscious?"

"..."

Xie Sichen looked at the empty wine glass on the table. Yin Zhaoshu hadn't actually drunk as much as him, but he was now in this drunken state.

He sincerely advised the drunken Yin Zhaoshu, "From now on, drink at the children's table."

Yin Zhaoshu seemed to understand, and frowned and shook his head.

"No."

Xie Sicen laughed, "Why not?"

“That’s mine, give it back to me. It’s mine… I won’t give it to anyone.” Yin Zhaoshu spoke slowly, but his words were very clear.

Seeing that Yin Zhaoshu was drunk, Xie Sicen boldly asked a question.

"Is the wine glass yours, or is Qi Zhiyu yours?"

Yin Zhaoshu frowned, and after a long while, he finally replied, "It's all..."

Xie Sicen clicked her tongue lightly, "Quite greedy."

Xie Sichen held Yin Zhaoshu's wrist and suddenly moved a few inches closer.

"Yin Zhaoshu, look who I am!"

"..." Yin Zhaoshu tried to open his eyes wide and look carefully, but his eyes seemed unfocused and showed a blank expression.

Xie Sichen had expected that Yin Zhaoshu wouldn't recognize her, but she still felt uncomfortable.

After he arrived here, all he could think about was Yin Zhaoshu.

As a result, he witnessed Yin Zhaoshu's heartless behavior firsthand; after drinking, he didn't even remember the only friend he had been drinking with.

"Yin Zhaoshu, do you like Qi Zhiyu that much?"

Yin Zhaoshu vaguely recalled the feeling of pheromone fusion, the sense of possession and satisfaction he felt when injecting his pheromones into Qi Zhiyu's glands, how could he not like it?

"I...like it very much."

Xie Sicen tightened her grip on Yin Zhaoshu's wrist, and Yin Zhaoshu seemed to be hurt by the grip and began to struggle, but Xie Sicen suddenly pushed him down onto the sofa.

"Yin Zhaoshu, I can't say for sure who's more pitiful right now, you or me. Did I come here just to be a pitiful ghost with you?"

Yin Zhaoshu has been putting in a lot of effort to resist, as his alpha nature makes him dislike being subordinate to others.

Even though he was drunk and his mind was being suppressed, it still made him unhappy. The strong suppressive pheromones were released in the room, but he punched the beta cotton that couldn't sense the pheromones.

Xie Sicen knelt on the sofa with one leg and continued to press forward.

"Yin Zhaoshu, can we make an exception this time? We still have a choice since this is the beginning of our journey. Let Qi Zhiyu go, and let yourself go too."

Xie Sichen was not as indifferent to Yin Zhaoshu's life or death as he appeared to 0561. Otherwise, it would have been none of his business who the other person loved, and he would have had no reason to be upset.

From the moment Xie Sichen saw the compatibility score, she began to yearn for Yin Zhaoshu's existence. As a Sentinel, she could never dream of encountering a compatibility score that was even passable, but Yin Zhaoshu's compatibility score with her was as high as 96%.

The less you have, the more you want it. This compatibility drove Xie Sichen crazy, making her want to hold onto the other person tightly, even though her body was no longer that of a Sentinel.

"Yin Zhaoshu, I don't want to lose..."
