    Chapter 64 Don't Met Me Again in the Next Life

    "Isn't the fundamental purpose of your coming to me today to talk about Kang Zhuo?" Kang Shicheng picked up the wine cup and drank the remaining half glass of wine. He stopped talking, but the extremely oppressive pine and cypress The alpha pheromones gradually spread out.

    Quan Huachen didn't dare to resist, but abruptly endured his coercion, refilled his wine cup, and said frankly, "I didn't know Kang Zhuo had told you about us."

    Quan Huachen looked at Kang Shicheng's expression, guessing that the good impression he left when he chatted at the dinner party just now was gone.

    He really didn't expect Kang Zhuo to have disclosed their relationship to Kang Shicheng. Then Kang Shicheng promised to eat him this meal, I am afraid he also had the mentality to investigate him, but Quan Huachen didn't mention Kang Zhuo at all. In my heart, I might have given him a negative score.

    After a long silence in the box, Kang Shicheng looked at Quan Huachen again: "I ask you a few questions, answer me honestly."

    "Yes, you said."

    "You and Kang Zhuo, who is chasing whom?"

    "I'm chasing him."

    "Have you induced him with pheromones before you were together?"

    "Have."

    "Did you cross the line before he agreed to be with you?"

    "If the transgression involves physical contact such as hugging, yes."

    ...

    Kang Shicheng asked quickly and did not give Quan Huachen time to think, but the question was very sharp. He did not ask Quan Huachen's subjective intentions, but only the objective facts. The more he asked, the deeper his brows became.

    Quan Huachen knew that each of his answers alone could be complained to by omega to the Anti-Alpha Infringement Association, but he did not intend to lie or whitewash.

    "The last question, have you been involved in Kang Zhuo and Yin Dongfan's relationship?"

    "No, they didn't break up because of me. But given what I know about my nephew, I did persuade Kang Joo to think more about it during their relationship."

    When Kang Shicheng asked, he only stared at the wine cup in front of him. The wine cup was empty. Quan Huachen didn't add any more wine, but poured him a cup of hot tea.

    Kang Shicheng stared at the cup of tea and didn't move. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Quan Huachen, "Except for the last question, you and Kang Zhuo answered the exact opposite."

    Quan Huachen's heart skipped a beat: "What did he say?"

    "He said, he fell in love with you first, he pursued you first, and before he confessed, you didn't have any hints, and even the pheromones were well hidden... You made him feel safe, relaxed, happy, and let him I feel like I have a home."

    For a moment, Quan Huachen's emotions were on the verge of losing control. He felt that he had to leave the table to go to the bathroom or the smoking room, or even just stand in the corridor for a while. He got up one step faster and walked to the window with his back to him, so Quan Huachen finally took a deep breath and restrained the aching pain in his heart.

    Quan Huachen doesn't know Kang Shicheng, but he can feel from Kang Zhuo's words that he is a strict and unreasonable father, so Quan Huachen has long thought that if Kang Zhuo is ready to disclose them to Kang Shicheng Quan Huachen will be responsible for taking all his anger, Kang Zhuo just needs to stand aside and wait for his father's anger to dissipate.

    Protecting his partner from harm is the responsibility of the alpha and the duty of the elder. Quan Huachen is twelve years older than Kang Zhuo, so he should be his shield.

    But in the end, Quan Huachen was the one who was protected.

    The second day they were together, Kang Zhuo plucked up the courage to defend him in front of Yin Dongfan. Even though Yin Dongfan shared so many misleading photos, Kang Zhuo never believed him once.

    On the first day of the new year, their relationship was broken by Quan Xiao, Kang Zhuo chose someone to accept the pressure from Quan Xiao, and did not want to bring any unpleasantness to Quan Huachen.

    Today, before Quan Huachen wanted to take a step, Kang Zhuo had already cleared all the obstacles for him in advance, and he alone persuaded Kang Shicheng.

    And until this moment, the number of times Kang Zhuo made any request to Quan Huachen was - zero.

    To get nothing, to give without hesitation.

    Learn to cherish before being cherished, and learn to love before being loved.

    This is Kang Zhuo, Quan Huachen's omega.

    "Since Kang Zhuo has chosen you, I won't interfere, but you must be clear about some things." Kang Shicheng suddenly turned his head, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, he sat back next to Quan Huachen and pushed the empty wine cup to him.

    Quan Huachen filled the wine cup and nodded cautiously: "You said."

    "You should know that Kang Zhuo's mother Aya passed away very early, due to some complications caused by gland failure." Kang Shicheng took the wine cup and drank it, "Kang Zhuo followed Professor Liu to study the glands, I'm afraid A large part of it is because of his mother."

    Kang Zhuo rarely mentions his mother to Quan Huachen, but Quan Huachen can somewhat guess.

    "He only knew that his mother was in bad health and had bad glands, but he didn't know why."

    Kang Shicheng's brows were deeply wrinkled, and the mask that had not changed over the years was finally lifted, and half of the word "sorrow" was revealed.

    "I never told Kang Zhuo about this, but Aya actually damaged her glands because of the washing. With the technology at the time, the success rate of omega washing and marking surgery was as high as 80%, but Aya was that 20%. "

    Quan Huachen was stunned for a moment, and he asked uncertainly, "Did Mrs. Zun wash the mark...?"

    Kang Shicheng turned to look at Shangquan Huachen: "In the fifth year of marriage with me, when Kang Zhuo was five years old."

    In the study that day, Kang Zhuo sat opposite Kang Shicheng and said that he wanted to be with Quan Huachen, very much like Aya who said he wanted to divorce him.

    The same firm, serious, decisive.

    When Kang Zhuo said that he and Quan Huachen were "very happy, like having a family", Kang Shicheng suddenly felt dizzy, and he thought in a trance that he had failed once as a husband 14 years ago, Now he has failed again as a father.

    After Kang Zhuo left, Kang Shicheng was in a daze alone in the study. He groped along the vines of memory, trying to find the root of all failures.

    Then he saw his first encounter with Aya.

    "Our Kang family has been a soldier for generations. I was in the army when I was young, but I didn't become a qualified soldier. Instead, I grew up to be a bitch..."

    He slowly talked about his past in the wine, as if speaking to Quan Huachen, but also as if he was talking to himself.

    There is also an alpha brother on top of Kang Shicheng. Compared with the rebellious and gloomy Kang Shicheng, the mature and stable brother is more liked by his parents. His brother is excellent in all aspects.

    Kang Shicheng was tired of the endless nagging of his parents and the boring training in the army, so one day on vacation, he went to the foreign language college two blocks away to watch the performances of international students for fun.

    Standing at the end of the crowd, Kang Shicheng saw Aya dancing on the stage at a glance. She was dancing flamenco, and the flying red skirt was like a burning fire.

    Kang Shicheng still remembers every move she danced on stage at that time. When Kang Zhuo wanted to give up the dance interest class, he secretly regretted it for a while.

    That night, out of some kind of rebellious mentality, Kang Shicheng and Aya exchanged contact information under the instigation of a group of petty people.

    Aya has blond hair and gray eyes. She looks bright and moving. She is as lively and cheerful as all R people. She is like a little sun. She has many suitors around her, but she chose Kang Shicheng.

    Kang Shicheng had seen the alphas or betas surrounding her. He was not outstanding at all, but Aya told him later that on the stage of the show that night, she also noticed a group of young people standing far away under the street lights. The officers, although they wore civilian clothes, had wide shoulders and long legs, and their backs were tall and straight. They were really different from the students, and the melancholy world-weariness that Kang Shicheng exuded attracted her very much.

    Kang Shicheng didn't understand what "world-weary" meant, but only knew that his character was indeed unlikable, and only Aya didn't dislike it.

    So, like all dances, they dance in love in the climax of the melody, and despair and stagnate in sudden variations.

    Aya is pregnant.

    But Chinese soldiers cannot marry foreign wives.

    Kang Shicheng knew it, but he didn't care when he was in love.

    Aya didn't know, she knew after she got pregnant.

    Kang Shicheng didn't want to mention the chaos at home and work at that time. He passed by and only said that he still married Aya, at the cost of being discharged from the army and engaged in politics. Aya also fell out with the wealthy businessman's parents in country R, ​​and married Kang Shicheng, who had nothing, with her savings over the past few years.

    But even in politics, having a foreign wife always means not being trusted by the top. Kang Shicheng had a hard time at the grassroots level at the beginning. In order to prove to everyone that he did the right thing, he spent almost all his time on work. , so as to completely ignore the family's wife and children.

    He didn't know that Aya was deeply affected by culture and could not adapt to life in China; he also didn't know that Aya suffered from severe postpartum depression due to a long-term lack of alpha pheromone after giving birth to Kangzhuo; Every night when he was exhausted when he got home, Aya was in the midst of immense self-blame and torment.

    At that time, Kang Shicheng went home more often than now, but every time he went home, he was almost greeted by Aya's cry. Aya always complained about herself, saying that if it wasn't for marrying her, Kang Shicheng would be very happy. A good future, when he was a junior in the army, he has been promoted to captain, and Kang Shicheng is only a dispensable part of the grassroots, so Kang Shicheng should not marry her.

    Kang Shicheng responded like this at the time—

    "What's the point of saying this now? You're helping me by taking care of the baby at home and not crying in front of me."

    Kang Shicheng always felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and he didn't feel anything wrong for many years later, but suddenly one day, Aya walked into the study and said to him:

    "Honey, I've decided to divorce you."

    Her tone was soft but firm, not joking.

    Kang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, first confused, then angry, ignoring Aya's thinness and her pale face, and loudly accused her of being an irresponsible mother.

    "Kang Zhuo is still so young, even if you don't think about this family, you still think about the child. He is only five years old this year!"

    They didn't end up divorced, but Aya insisted on washing off the mark and separating from him. In fact, Kang Shicheng didn't have much time to come and go home, and they were no different from a real separation.

    According to Aya's wishes, they still signed some agreements to gradually divide the property, and wait for Kang Zhuo to grow up before going through the divorce procedures.

    However, the accident came one step ahead of tomorrow.

    Aya died a year later from complications from a mark-cleaning procedure.

    It is ridiculous and sad that Kang Shicheng has had an unimpeded career since then.

    After Kang Shicheng said all this, it was extremely quiet in the box. He took up the wine cup and drank it up, only to find that it was water when he drank it in his mouth.

    Quan Huachen called the waiter and asked for another pot of hot tea.

    This time, Quan Huachen took Kang Shicheng's wine cup directly and pushed the glass of hot tea in front of him: "You can rest assured, Deputy Hall Kang, I will never let Kang Zhuo go this far."

    Kang Shicheng shook his head, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no drunkenness in his eyes, and his eyes looking at Quan Huachen were still as sharp as falcons: "I don't need your promise, you and I both know that alpha's promises are all Shit, I just want you to remember two things."

    "One, don't repeat the old path of the previous generation, and take good care of Kang Zhuo."

    "Second, if you can't do the first point, then I can tell you that I can't guarantee it in the whole country, but in City A, as long as I'm in office for one day, no pharmacy will dare to sell your Quanhe medicine."

    It was late at night, Kang Shicheng and Quan Huachen said goodbye, got into the car, and said to the driver in the front row, "It's hard work to go to the cemetery."

    The driver is a simple and honest beta. He has been with Kang Shicheng for more than ten years. He laughed happily: "It's not hard, the flowers are ready. You have been running around in the past few months and have no time to go home. It's almost New Year's Eve. , Madam must want to see you too."

    Kang Shicheng didn't speak, he closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep, but when the driver parked the car at the entrance of the cemetery, he woke up immediately.

    Lao Liu, who was on the night shift in the cemetery, was very familiar with Kang Shicheng. When he saw Kang Shicheng's car, he immediately stepped forward to open the door for him. He didn't ask anything. Don't put my coat on."

    Kang Shicheng shook his head and said to Lao Liu, "I'm here to trouble you again."

    He glanced at the driver, and the driver immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from the car and handed them to Lao Liu, who was not polite, took out one from the cigarette case, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Kang, one is enough to satisfy your cravings. ."

    Next, without Lao Liu leading the way, Kang Shicheng can find his way even in the dark.

    There were no street lights in the cemetery, so Lao Liu and the driver stood far away with flashlights and waited. Kang Shicheng came to Aya's tombstone with flowers in his arms.

    It was almost 11 o'clock in the night at this time, and the snow had only fallen a few days ago. The winter night was cold and cold, the evening wind was howling, and the occasional cat meow or two made the cemetery even more eerie.

    But Kang Shicheng was not afraid at all, even very relaxed, he squatted down, put the bouquet in front of the tombstone, and gently stroked the black and white photo of Aya on the tombstone, he suddenly wanted to sit like this for one night and chat with her about them The first time we met, we talked about the small park we often met when we were in love, about the troubles we encountered at work, and about our son's new boyfriend...

    Kang Shicheng smiled unknowingly, and life didn't seem as bad as he imagined.

    But it all makes no sense.

    Kang Shicheng opened his mouth and let out a burst of steam. He looked at the tombstone silently for a while, and finally said, "I'm not a good husband or a good father. Don't meet me again in the next life."

    Kang Shicheng turned around and left, leaving only a bunch of white roses in front of the monument whispering in the cold wind.
