Chapter 4 Boyfriend After several dates,me and Glenn into a serious relationship-----I mean,we are dating and he is my boyfriend now. I love to spend my time with him especially in college,He took me to know every cool place in the college like which store have the best blueberry donut,which library has a water dispenser with hot water(I usually need a cup of hot rose tea in the morning lol),we found a secluded corner in Building M, our own secret hideout, where we can enjoy the most beautiful blue forget-me-nots on campus. As a freshman in campus there is still a lot of places need to discover,fortunately i have a adventure buddy together. Glenn is gifted at singing,i an gifted at playing the piano.So we attend the music society in our college together,and met Renee and Jessica in there in the end of summer again. Jessica is still vibrant and energetic,she ran to me and gave me a big hug when she saw me at first sight,“Oh Eileen,I really miss you!How’s everything going?”She got a perm, and her hair looks much longer. Her deep brown eyes sparkle like amber, and even her smile carries a hint of rum. Her arms have also gained some muscles; hugged by her feels a bit tight, almost to the point of pain. Jessica's eyes widened in surprise as she took in Glenn standing behind me. The initial warmth from her hug turned into an inquisitive gaze, and she couldn't help but shoot me a questioning look, silently asking, "Who is he?" “He is my boyfriend, sweetheart.” “What?!Boyfriend?Well,You’ve been keeping secrets!” Jessica screamed and got the attention from all music club members in the classroom. After knew our first date and some romance stories between me and Glenn,she’s hackles rose,i can image the way she gives a low decibel growl like a baby puppy,“Hey Eileen,i remember i invited you to Trueme first,but you rejected me but accepted his invitation.My heart broke!”She looked at me with resentful eyes. “Oh baby you know that’s not truth,i ’m a wimpy drinker before so that’s why,but now i can hold my liquor now,maybe do you want to go on a bender this weekend or?”I explained,and give her a surprise invitation try to get her forgiveness. “I’m in!”Before I could react, Jessica hugged me excitedly again and kissed my cheek. We smiled together,and we knew something never changed even in this changeable world. “Eileen, that's amazing news!" Renee chimed in, joining the conversation with a beaming, delicate and insincere smile.She was wearing a fitted and tight camisole top paired with a mini ultra-short skirt, swaying gracefully as she walked towards us. Her lips were already painted at the edges, with a Barbie pink lip gloss on the upper lip obviously much heavier than the lower lip, giving her a somewhat mismatched appearance when she spoke,“I never expect you will have a boyfriend,that’s shocking!Unbelievable!Glenn is definitely much better...Sorry,so what does Alex think?Oh,i mean,i haven't seen Alex for a while, do you know where he went?” “Sorry,but...”I want to explain i don’t know where did he go,then i felt a warm,large hand was placed on my shoulder. Then i saw the change of expression on Renee’s face. I turned my head, and suddenly saw an unexpected face, is Alex. In the more than a decade I've known Alex, I have never seen him wear such an expression. His lips curved upward at about a 45-degree angle, appearing to be a smile, yet his gaze was piercing, like a glacier unearthed by explorers after being sealed for too long, bringing an icy and bone-chilling coldness. His eyes, devoid of any trace of a smile, narrowed, resembling the gaze of a wolf sizing up its prey – ferocious and without a hint of mercy. If not for the fact that the hand he had placed on my shoulder hadn't transformed into sharp wolf claws yet, I would have thought him to be a fierce and formidable Alpha wolf now, ready to unleash a hair-raising howl at Glenn, who was currently standing behind Renee. As an omega, even i haven’t finished my shift, but i still can feel the air can be filled with the aggressive pheromones of Alpha and a tense atmosphere.The moment is frozen like the surface of an icy lake. I feel stressed. “Hi Alex,my bro. Long time no see. How’s your game going?” Glenn tried to break the ice. But Alex just ignored him, he looked at me,“So he is your boyfriend now?” “Well,yeah...” I involuntarily responded to Alex's question. Or rather, you have no way to lie under that kind of pressure. He looked even more handsome, I thought at this inappropriate moment. His features were already of the impeccable kind, resembling more the sculptures of Apollo crafted by the sculptors of the Classical Greek period than anything else. My gaze traveled upward, and I noticed a new scar on his forehead, perhaps obtained during a hockey match this week, but that small mark did nothing to diminish his attractiveness. Instead, it added a touch of rugged maturity to his face, the kind of allure that a wolf king possesses. “Sure,nice.It look like i am the last one to know this amazing news.Anyway,here is your gift,Eileen.See you.”Alex left behind these cryptic words and, before departing, placed an exquisite rectangular golden box into my hands. To be honest,i haven’t received any gifts from Alex’s since i am 10 years old. What’s that mean? We should not be so close like that and even he will bring me a delicate gift after his away game.He has ignored me like i am invisible for years,isn’t he? I’m so confusing. “Alex must be jealous, especially i stole his baby secret sister.”Glenn leaned in, also examining the shimmering gift box with a curious gaze,then he held my hand,“Don’t worry, i ’ll take care of it.” Renee and Jessica's gaze were momentarily captivated by this golden gift box. Renee extended her hand, adorned with Swarovski crystals on her manicured nails, to feel the texture of the box. “Oh that's so good!”She exclaimed in an exaggerated tone,“I told you how lucky you are,Eileen.Can i open it?”But this sentence is obviously unnecessary, she opened it without my permission immediately. As the delicate wrapping paper was unfolded, a breathtaking piece of jewelry emerged—two jade rings linked together intricately carved with patterns that seemed to tell a story of its own. Renee's eyes widened, and Jessica's jaw dropped in awe. Even Glenn, who had initially taken a casual interest, found himself captivated by the beauty of the jade rings. Renee covered her mouth in surprise with her hand adorned with full diamond nail art,“I have never seen anything like this before, I love this! What is this?” “This is...Chinese jade ring,look,the pattern of a loong is on the top.I studied that from my course called traditional culture of China before,This is an traditional exquisite jade craftsmanship, symbolizing it can be fragility but inseparability.I've only seen it in books before.”Jessica explained. “What is that mean?What is the inseparability of Chinese jade ring?”Glenn asked. “That means there is no way to untie it instead of smash it.”Jessica answered. - That day we rehearsed until very late, and by the time I got our pack house, it was already midnight. So i didn't knocked the door,i just opened the door by my key. When i opened the door, the living room was dim,but a faint small lamp was turned on. Alex is here,too. In front of Alex were several bottles of wine. His face appeared quite flushed in the dim light. Unfortunately, when I opened the door, our eyes met. Meeting eyes meant I couldn't just walk away, especially considering the man in front of me had given me a gift in the morning. So, I walked over, intending to exchange a few words and express my gratitude. I hesitated for a moment,unsure of what to say.But he asked first,“When?” “Sorry,what?” “When did you started to date with Glenn?” “The week before last,we bumped into each other at college.” “Do you like it?” “Sorry?” “I mean the gift,i gave you in the morning.” “Yeah,absolutely.I really appreciate.” “What you like is always the best.” Alex took another big sip of wine, his features profound, with deep-set brow bones. His eyelashes were damp and flickering, as if due to the slightly humid air.At this moment, a rich flush colored his cheeks; he was evidently intoxicated. His turn is end,now should be my turn.I have too many questions for him but i didn’t know start with which one is the best,so i choose the easiest one, “Why you stay up so late?” “I thought you wouldn't come back tonight.” He is definitely wasted.I don't know if it's my illusion, but there seems to be a hint of subtle, aqua cologne-scented grievance in his voice. I made a great effort to bring him back to his room upstairs. Watching him collapse on the bed in an unconscious state, I couldn't recall the last time we had a conversation like this. Good night,my step brother.
