Chapter 11 part 1
Qin Yao took a deep breath, he stood up, his puzzled gaze lingering on Bai He for a long time, he didn't know how long, then the alpha gently smiled, the smile containing a hint of helplessness.
After Bai He got drunk, his gaze would always stick to the person, wherever Qin Yao went, he would look like a child.
Qin Yao looked outside, it was already very late, he had to leave.
He crouched down again, negotiating with Bai He: "Good boy, I have to go home."
A slight frown appeared on Bai He's brow, it was obvious that he was unhappy, Qin Yao smiled bitterly: "Next time, I'll come visit you again, how about that?"
The frown on the good student's brow relaxed a bit, Qin Yao pressed on: "Next time I'll come cook for you again, I see you quite liked those two dishes I made, I promised I'll come, it's just too late now, the good student should go to sleep, isn't Bai He a good boy?"
Absorbing so much language at once, Bai He's face showed bewilderment again, the frown on his brow had completely relaxed now, Qin Yao smiled, stood up, and pulled Bai He up as well.
Helping to the end, the alpha held Bai He's hand and took him to the bathroom, placed him in front of the mirror, squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush and handed it to Bai He, then filled a cup with water and stood by watching Bai He slowly brush his teeth.
After about three minutes, Bai He stopped. The corners of his mouth had some toothpaste bubbles, he held the toothbrush, his mouth tightly pursed, his gaze slowly shifting from the reflection of himself to Qin Yao.
"Finished brushing?" Qin Yao handed the water cup to Bai He, but Bai He didn't take it, he curled his head and sipped the water from the cup in Qin Yao's hand, then swished it around in his mouth and spat it into the sink, then took another mouthful...
Qin Yao looked at him blankly until Bai He had completely rinsed the toothpaste bubbles from his mouth, then the alpha turned and got a face towel to wipe Bai He's mouth.
After wiping him clean, Qin Yao felt that something was a bit off, the behavior seemed a bit intimate.
He reacted for a few seconds, didn't mind too much, then went to run hot water for Bai He to wash his feet, took care of everything, and led the person to the bedroom.
"Alright, good boys should sleep now." Qin Yao pushed the person onto the bed: "See you tomorrow."
Maybe he wouldn't see him tomorrow, Qin Yao thought in his heart.
He covered Bai He with the blanket, turned off the light and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him, soon the sound of the front door opening and closing came, then the house fell back into silence.
Bai He's face was buried in the blanket, his breathing was a bit uncomfortable, he finally poked his head out, those still hazy eyes staring at the pitch-black ceiling, unblinking.
He didn't know when he had fallen asleep, Bai He slept lightly, this sleep was very restless, perhaps because of the alcohol. His body felt a bit hot, he was sweating, the skin felt sticky and uncomfortable.
In a half-awake, half-asleep state, Bai He heard some sounds. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, sitting up and trying to locate the source of the sound, after a moment, the sounds disappeared.
Bai He was more awake now, he felt around for his phone and looked at the time, it was 1 a.m.
In the middle of the night, Bai He, who had slept for two hours, was sobering up a bit, but his head still felt heavy. He buried his head, pressing his right hand on his brow, spacing out for a while.
Suddenly, the sounds from earlier came again, crisp and weak, but in the quiet of the night, they seemed particularly clear. Bai He reacted for two seconds, realizing that it was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock, his back suddenly chilled.
The sound kept coming, as if the person had lost patience, the sound of the lock being tampered with became louder, accompanied by the sound of the doorknob being pried. Bai He threw off the blanket and got up from the bed, he didn't dare turn on the light, groping to get a broom, pressing himself against the wall.
The door made a loud clattering noise, the sound of the key being inserted into the lock became urgent and irritated, Bai He pressed his lips, his body soaked in sweat.
Suddenly, all the noises stopped.
Bai He mustered up the courage to look through the peephole, it was pitch black outside, the hallway light was not on, he couldn't see anything, he let out a silent sigh of relief in his heart.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared outside the peephole, meeting Bai He's gaze. It was a person wearing a baseball cap, his face unrecognizable.
"Bang bang bang--"
Frantic knocking sounds came, Bai He's heart was pounding, he stepped back a few steps, his lower back bumping against the cabinet, the phone in his pocket fell out, the screen suddenly lit up.
Bai He's back hurt from the impact, ignoring the pain, he sat down on the floor, his palm resting on the screen.
"..."
Bai He's back hurt, he didn't notice that the screen had answered the voice call, the other side was silent.
"Bang bang bang--"
The knocking sounds kept getting louder, Bai He's heart was pounding like a drum, vaguely, he caught a scent in the air, an indescribable scent, he seemed to be getting even hotter.
This floor only had two tenants, Bai He remembered Xia Xiaomiao telling him before that the other family was out of town, so no one would hear someone knocking on his door in the middle of the night.
Enduring the pain in his back, he tightened his grip on the broom, suddenly remembering his missing Ling Ling.
" Ling Ling..." Bai He murmured.
The Ling Ling couldn't have disappeared for no reason, he clearly locked the doors and windows before leaving home that day, the disappearance of the Ling Ling was obviously taken away by someone. This house only had one key, someone who could come in and take away his cat, other than burglary, what else could it be?
Bai He gritted his teeth, he hadn't dared to think deeply about it recently, the burglar didn't take anything else, just took away his cat, the rare Maine Coon cat in this world, his Ling Ling was most likely already sold.
He didn't dare to think about it, now the anger had reached its peak, Bai He's breathing started to become rapid, he trembled as he tried to stand up, someone called out to him.
Qin Yao's low voice was urgent, the background noise on the phone was very messy, the alpha seemed to be running.
"Don't open the door! Calm down, Bai He!"
