ABPTA Chapter 14

014

Forever…

These two words made Yu Lan hug his pillow and stay up late into the night.

He didn’t know if it was his own illusion or not, but at that instant, he seemed to feel something subtle in Mr Shao’s eyes.

But in a flash, Yu Lan remembered what Mr Shao said the day after he was temporarily marked.

He got tangled up and ended up rubbed his face on the pillow.

Mr Shao, Mr Shao, Mr Shao!

He will definitely dream of Mr Shao tonight!

Yu Lan’s face was flushed and he felt both sweet and sorrowful.

Since Mr Shao agreed to his part-time job, Yu Lan went to the milk tea store on time after class the next day.

Wen Zicheng prepared a set of work clothes for Yu Lan in one day and asked him to change in the small room.

Yu Lan was still in a state of excitement when he changed his clothes and came out.

Although he said those words to Mr Shao yesterday, when actually coming to the workplace, Yu Lan felt that the sense of responsibility and accomplishment that came with it was also a very important enjoyment, and not something that could be easily brought about by other things.

Wen Zicheng was very easy-going, and he smiled when he saw Yu Lan in his uniform. “Yu Lan, you are really good-looking. With you in the store, our turnover can definitely double!”
Yu Lan was a bit embarrassed.

The first day on the job, Wen Zicheng first taught Yu Lan how to use the cash register and as Wen Zicheng was speaking, many customers were stunned when directly facing Yu Lan’s straight face.
A few girls who were just passing by arm-in-arm glanced at Yu Lan, who was standing behind the cash register, and drifted over unconsciously as if their souls were robbed.
Their cheeks were still flushed and they blankly stared at Yu Lan’s face, and asked Wen Zicheng, “Boss, we haven’t seen you in a few days, where did you dig out this little handsome guy…”

Yu Lan shrank back, his face becoming even more flushed, not daring to look at the girls.
Wen Zicheng laughed and said, “This little handsome guy came to us himself. I’m keeping him for you!”

In no time at all, there was a queue at this milk tea store, which usually had a mediocre traffic flow.

Wen Zicheng also chatted with Yu Lan during work breaks.

He hoped that the milk tea store could always have two employees in, to be safe. But a while ago, another employee left the store. He held on by himself for a few days, and now, although he found Yu Lan to be his partner at night, there was still one missing during the day.

Yu Lan looked at him admiringly. He was really awesome to be able to survive in the store by himself from morning to night.
In his opinion, people like the store manager and Mr Shao were amazing.

Wen Zicheng smiled and said, “Don’t you have to study during the day and come to work at night? You are also very awesome.”
Yu Lan shook his head and said, “Studying and working aren’t the same.”

Thinking about it this way, he felt that Mr Shao, who said yesterday that he would be tired from studying during the day and working at night, was spoiling him too much.

Uh, spoiling…

Yu Lan blushed again.

“You get shy too easily, why are you suddenly blushing?” Wen Zicheng saw him being cute and said, “What is it, have you found a girlfriend?”

Yu Lan shook his head.

“What about… a boyfriend?” Wen Zicheng deliberately dragged his voice.

Yu Lan blushed and rapidly shook his head.

Wen Zicheng, “Hahaha, why don’t I believe this reaction of yours? You really don’t have a boyfriend? How can our beautiful and cute Ah Lan not find a boyfriend? If you really don’t have one, how about I introduce you to someone? They’re guaranteed to be tall and handsome!”
Yu Lan’s eyes were about to turn into a mosquito coil and he stammered, “Store, store manager!”
Wen Zicheng, “Hahahaha!”

There was a lot of laughter in the milk tea store and a black car was parked on the street not far away.

The car window was open a bit and smoke was coming out of it.

A man sat in the back seat of the car, smoking a cigarette, staring at the young man in front of the milk tea store.

The driver in the front seat tentatively said, “Brother Shao, what are you waiting for? Just go up if you want one.”
The day before yesterday, he received the news and yesterday he asked people to follow him, but today he was just looking at the street and didn’t move, which was not in line with Brother Shao’s style.

“Tch, Shao Mingyu is still here and we can’t play for long even if we took the person away.” Shao Yuan ruthlessly twirled his cigarette.

In the end, he was still afraid of that big brother.
The driver secretly thought.

Shao Yuan noticed that the driver curled his mouth and he kicked the back of the driver’s seat, knocking the driver right onto the steering wheel.

He cursed, “What the hell are you smiling for. Damn it. I can do whatever the hell I want, you want to be in charge?!”

“Brother Shao, Brother Shao, I didn’t say anything!” The driver immediately shouted.

Shao Yuan kicked again, looked up and stared at the milk tea store.

If it were normal, he wouldn’t have bothered to deal with Shao Mingyu, but the old man at home had been using Shao Mingyu as an example, cutting off his money and forbidding him to go out and play, forcing him to stay on the planet and go to school and all that nonsense.
Even the girl he saw in the Lin family pestered her family to introduce her to Shao Mingyu, without even giving him a glance.

This was only a bit. His eyes only had Shao Mingyu, Shao Mingyu, Shao Mingyu, abruptly piling up his anger.

Don’t blame him for retaliating if you’ve pissed him off.

Shao Mingyu’s things, he could also snatch away.

Shao Yuan closed the car window coldly and said, “Drive.”

*

Shao Mingyu and his client had an evening meal and rubbed the corner of his eye as he got into his car.

He’d had a little too much to drink today.

Assistant Lin sat in the driver’s seat, ready to drive.
Shao Mingyu looked at the time. Eight o’clock…

He said, “Don’t go back yet, drive over to the company.”

Lin Yu was surprised and said, “Mr Shao, do you still have to go back to the company?”

Shao Mingyu lifted the corner of his lips and said, “No, I’m going to pick up a kid.”

…Kid?

Lin Yu was suspicious.

Suddenly remembering that little omega from the spaceship almost a month ago, Lin Yu’s gossip radar kicked in.
Hey, hey, is the little omega still out at this late hour?

On the way, Shao Mingyu recalled what he said to Yu Lan last night. Somehow, every second and every frame was recalled very clearly and his emotions softened.
At that certain moment, he had an idea and picked up his phone.

The outgoing call was quickly answered with an old man’s voice on the other end. “Why are you calling at this hour?”

“Grandpa.” Shao Mingyu said while looking out the car window. “I just wanted to tell you something.”

“-I found the kid from back then.”

“What? Who?” The old man was obviously somewhat unresponsive.
But soon, he remembered something and his tone sounded stunned. “Wait, you- you mean that kid? Did you find him? When and where did you find him?”
Shao Mingyu slowly and patiently explained.

After hearing this, the old man soothed his astonishment and murmured, “So the omega the little girl on the blind date mentioned was him?”
“Mn.” Shao Mingyu smiled. “Grandpa, you didn’t ask me either.”
“I wanted to know when you were going to confess to me that you’ve got a lover hidden in your house!” After a pause, the old man’s tone faded again. “I didn’t expect it to be that child. After all these years, I thought you had already put this matter behind you.”
“You had a big idea and you didn’t want me to get involved in this, so why are you calling me now all of a sudden?”

Shao Mingyu’s expression was slightly restrained as he slowly said, “I feel it’s time to tell you.”

The old man, “What do you mean.”
However, the old man was obviously the one who knew Shao Mingyu the best among his family members.
After a pause, he solemnly said, “What are you going to do with him? His mother is no longer here.”

“He lives with me now,” Shao Mingyu’s looked down, thinking of the person in his mind, his voice gentle. “I hope he can live there forever.”
The old man’s voice changed immediately. “You-”

It was because he knew that he and Song Ze were the only ones who remembered about Yu Lan after all these years, so when he first found Yu Lan, Shao Mingyu didn’t think of telling anyone else, because there was no need.

They were the only ones who remembered the child. The next life of Yu Lan could also be taken care of by him alone. If other people knew about it, there would be more unnecessary trouble.

After the blind date sent by his grandfather left, Shao Mingyu did not receive any phone call from the old man, so he didn’t take the initiative to mention it.

Until today.

After spending the last few days feeling his emotions had settled, he felt the need to make this phone call.

The appearance of Yu Lan was no longer simply “they finally found the child”.

He believed that his grandfather had also understood the meaning of his phone call.

After a moment, the old man sighed, “He’s a Silver Moon.”
“You know I don’t like those racial labels, everyone is different.”
“…You really.” The old man was angry and frustrated. “You made your decision before telling me, haven’t you?”
Shao Mingyu lightly smiled. “Yeh.”

The old man was speechless.
After a few seconds, he said, “Forget it, I never said I couldn’t understand you anyway. You’ll just have to deal with your mother yourself.”

Shao Mingyu laughed.

A bit before half-past eight, Wen Zicheng sent Yu Lan to change clothes, and when he came out, an alpha appeared in the store.
The alpha was standing on the other side of the cash register, kissing the store manager.

Yu Lan was stunned, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, the two also quickly separated. Wen Zicheng turned around, blushing from shame. “Sorry. This, this is my boyfriend. He came to pick me up from work.”
The alpha smiled at Yu Lan and said, “Hello.”

“Hello.” Yu Lan responded cautiously.

Wen Zicheng pushed his boyfriend’s shoulder and said, “Go wait aside.”

His boyfriend pinched his cheek and gave him a doting look.

Wen Zicheng came toward Yu Lan, blinked and whispered, “Listen to the store manager, find a boyfriend early, it’s a really ‘lucky’ blessing.”
Yu Lan also whispered, “Hurry up and change your clothes.”
“You child.” The store manager knocked Yu Lan on the head and smiled as he walked into the changing room.

Yu Lan watched the store and the store manager’s boyfriend also chatted with him.

It was not difficult to feel the love and sweetness of the two through his words. Yu Lan was a little envious of such a love.

When Wen Zicheng got changed and came out to close the store with Yu Lan, Wen Zixing asked, “How are you going to get back?”
Yu Lan, “I’m biking home.”
Wen Zicheng was about to say be careful on the road when a luxurious car pulled up on the side of the road.

The back door opened and a tall, handsome alpha got out of the car. Seeing him, Yu Lan exclaimed in surprise. “Mr Shao!”
In the night, Shao Mingyu looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

When Wen Zicheng looked over there. He sucked in his breath and sucked in another one. What kind of face value is that!

He grabbed Yu Lan’s thin waist, leaned in to his ear and asked, “And you said you didn’t have a boyfriend?!”

“N-No!” Yu Lan stammered again. “He isn’t my boyfriend!”
“What, he isn’t?” Wen Zicheng’s eyebrows rose. “Then hurry up and turn him into your boyfriend!”
Yu Lan, “!!!”
