Part 2
Bai He walked very slowly, Qin Yao walking behind him could clearly see his face, it wasn't really dazed, but rather drunk and confused, but even when drunk, Bai He never revealed any extra emotions, his face still remained expressionless, the only indication of his drunkenness was the mist-shrouded eyes.
This person, although a beta, was taller than the average beta, almost as tall as some alphas, but he was too thin, visibly this. He always wore simple clothes, just like now, a simple white T-shirt, simple straight-leg pants, these clothes were not big, in Qin Yao's eyes they even looked small, but on Bai He's body they looked like adult's clothes that he had stolen, not too loose, but indeed too big, with the help of the light, you could vaguely see the frail body inside.
How could he be so thin? Qin Yao remembered the moment he hugged Bai He at the hospital, he easily lifted the person up.
Arriving at the door, Bai He used the only key to open the door, trying to aim at the lock for half an eternity before finally succeeding in opening the door, the alpha standing outside had no intention of going in.
It was already late at night, the sky outside had darkened, the person was safely home, Qin Yao should be leaving.
But seeing Bai He come in, change his shoes, and then turn around, his eyes unblinkingly looking at the alpha at the door.
After a while, Qin Yao sighed and smiled: "I'm going back, you rest well."
He turned and took a few steps, then turned back, Bai He was still standing there, the door still open, staring at him intently.
Qin Yao ultimately didn't leave, he went in and changed his shoes: "I'll just stay for a while, is that okay?"
Bai He remained silent, turned and went to the kitchen to get water for Qin Yao, but found there was no hot water, so he started looking for the kettle again. Sitting on the sofa, Qin Yao glanced at the cat tower in the corner, and for a moment felt an indescribable and inexplicable annoyance, he averted his gaze, then carefully examined the house he had once stayed in.
It's not big, many things are new, there are several political theory books and the dictionary piled on the coffee table.
He shifted his gaze again, the strange and inexplicable irritation was suppressed. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to see these things. These objects represented Bai He's serious attitude towards him as a Maine Coon, he left silently, Bai He was clearly anxious for a long time, and seemed to have become even thinner because of his disappearance. He was the culprit, and the guilt made him irritable, so he could only avoid looking at the physical objects.
There were a few noises from the kitchen, Qin Yao hurried over and found that a bowl had been broken, he quickly squatted down to check Bai He's hand. Fortunately it was fine, the alpha sighed in relief, gently pushed Bai He out of the kitchen: "You sit here, I'll clean up."
Qin Yao thought for a moment, they both hadn't eaten yet, he decided to cook something. The sitting Bai He struggled a bit, the alpha lightly gripped the Bai He who was trying to stand up: "I'll go, you listen."
Seeing Bai He obediently stay put, Qin Yao let go of his hand: "What do you want to eat?"
Bai He's eyes flashed with bewilderment, Qin Yao sighed: "Okay, I'll cook what I think you'll eat."
He found a book for Bai He to read, then turned and went to the kitchen.
The fridge was full of ingredients, although Bai He couldn't even fry an egg properly. He would buy things to keep the fridge full. Qin Yao stood in front of the fridge and thought for a moment, took out a broccoli, then found a box of frozen shrimp, thinking it might not be enough, he also took out a cabbage and three eggs.
After washing and cutting the ingredients, he started cooking, the whole process was smooth.
Qin Yao had learned cooking at home with his father, and sometimes lived alone in an apartment outside, so he would self-teach cooking, his culinary skills were not particularly outstanding, but he knew many dishes, and he felt the taste was not bad.
Qin Yao spent half an hour in the kitchen, and Bai He had been staring at the book outside for half an hour, until the dishes were served, the alpha untied the apron, his gaze falling on the person on the sofa.
Still looking, Qin Yao put his hands on his hips and smiled, went over and brought Bai He to the dining table to eat.
Stir-fried broccoli with shrimp, stir-fried cabbage, egg soup, two dishes and one soup, a simple home-cooked meal, Qin Yao filled two full bowls of rice.
Bai He ate slowly and quietly, not showing any signs of drunkenness, but it was very clear that he was still drunk, after finishing the meal, Qin Yao casually washed the bowls, came out of the kitchen and saw Bai He still sitting on the sofa without moving.
The alpha leaned against the kitchen doorframe and watched Bai He for a while, then walked over and squatted down: "My time as a guest is over, can I leave now?"
Bai He lowered his head and looked at him, without speaking.
It was obvious that this beta young man rejected his suggestion, Qin Yao smiled bitterly, reached out and tapped the back of Bai He's hand: "Why are you so unreasonable?"
Qin Yao stood up, he bent over to pick up the book that had fallen beside Bai He, put the book back on the coffee table, then sat down next to Bai He, leaving a distance between them.
"Shall we chat?" Qin Yao asked.
Bai He turned his head to look at the alpha, he hadn't spoken all evening.
Qin Yao naturally knew that he could not have a normal conversation with a drunkard. He sat up straight, raised his index finger in front of Bai He's eyes and gently waved it: "I'll ask, you just nod or shake your head, okay?"
Bai He's eyes were hazy.
Qin Yao smiled, he leaned back into the sofa, playing with the throw pillow and thinking for a moment: "Have you not been eating well lately."
Bai He didn't respond, Qin Yao rested his head on the pillow and looked up at this little drunkard: "No response? Then that means you haven't been eating well, how can you not even take care of yourself?"
Bai He still didn't speak, Qin Yao looked into Bai He's eyes, his gaze inadvertently fell on the beta's fair neck, the skin there was almost glowing white, the long and beautiful neck, he unconsciously ground his canines.
"Bai He, are you unhappy?" the alpha asked.
Bai He remained silent, the mist in his eyes seemed to have thickened even more.
"Why are you unhappy?" Qin Yao probed further, he didn't even realize that he had lowered his voice, almost like soothing: "Because the cat is gone?"
Bai He's tightly pursed lips moved slightly, a hint of moisture flashed in his eyes, he finally responded, his voice soft and hoarse.
"Mm."
