"Lan Lan, it's time to get up." The whisper, like a devil's call, repeatedly disturbed her ears. Wen Qiulan hugged the little wildcat bothering her, rubbing her head against her chest. Hearing a giggle from the other person, she began to act even more mischievously.
The soft thing in front was the area the little wildcat liked, she always enjoyed squeezing it into various shapes and liked to press her own soft body against it like now.
"Xiao Yi, stop being naughty."
"I'm not being naughty! Lan Lan has become lazy, it's already 9 o'clock and you're still not up, but Pink Baby is already very energetic." Evie said playfully, her hands not staying still as they moved toward Wen Qiulan's lower abdomen. The physiological reactions of an Alpha's body couldn't always be avoided, even though they had played around last night for quite a while. Today, in the morning, it still stood strong tirelessly.
"Xiao Yi, we really need to exercise some restraint. I've looked up some information, and doing this too often isn't good. Be good and listen to me." With Evie gripping her key area, Wen Qiulan suppressed a soft gasp and gently stroked Evie's cheek like she would a child. Despite being soothed by such actions, Evie still didn't give up.
"But it's morning now, and Pink Baby and I haven't had contact for 10 hours. Isn't this still considered restraint? Moreover, when Pink Baby is like this in the morning, Lan Lan would feel uncomfortable." Evie argued confidently, especially when it came to these twisted ideas.
Hearing her words, Wen Qiulan finally opened her eyes, gazing gently at Evie.
Wen Qiulan felt good under Evie's touch. Her eyes misted over, and when she opened them, the close contact looked stunning. Evie couldn't help but kiss Wen Qiulan, lifting her nightgown, pulling down her underwear, welcoming Pink Baby's energetic spirit within. Wen Qiulan clutched the bedsheets, forcibly drawn into another round of inti.macy, and they didn't get out of bed until noon.
"Lan Lan, do you have plans for the afternoon?" Having done what they did, Evie got up refreshed, while Wen Qiulan, on the other hand, appeared slightly fatigued. Seeing her "old cadre" unwittingly rubbing her waist, Evie suddenly felt that she might have gone a bit too far.
"I need to pick up a friend this afternoon, she just returned from the moon. I haven't seen her in a long time." When talking about this person, Wen Qiulan felt a bit happy. She had known Mo Shuran since childhood, they were the same age and both Alphas. Plus, their families lived close, and the elders had a good relationship, so Wen Qiulan had played with Mo Shuran when they were little. They had similar personalities, both being the stable type, but Wen Qiulan liked music while Mo Shuran loved to travel and take photos. Her friend had been away on the moon for two years, and now that she was back, she had arranged to meet, which naturally made Wen Qiulan happy.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll take care of some things in the afternoon and come back in the evening. Don't miss me too much, Lan Lan." Evie said with a smile, giving Wen Qiulan's lips a quick kiss before leaving. Watching her drive away, Wen Qiulan stood at the door for a moment before changing her clothes and heading to the café to meet Mo Shuran.
Both of them were punctual individuals, but Mo Shuran was especially punctual, arriving precisely at 1:00 PM. They both appeared at the café's entrance, facing each other in the wind. Wen Qiulan wore a white outfit, while Mo Shuran was dressed entirely in black.
"A'lan, it's been a while." Mo Shuran was slightly taken aback upon seeing Wen Qiulan. Her fingertips twitched slightly, and after a brief pause, she spoke.
"Yeah, it really has been a while. You've been away on the Moon for so long and didn't keep in touch. I didn't even know how you were doing." Wen Qiulan replied as she walked over and hugged Mo Shuran. The latter stepped back momentarily but then followed her heart and stepped forward to embrace her back.
"I didn't want to trouble you with work. Let's go inside first." Mo Shuran said, gently pushing Wen Qiulan and holding the door open for her. They entered one after the other, with Mo Shuran being slightly taller than Wen Qiulan, a significant advantage among female Alphas. When she pulled out a chair for Wen Qiulan, the latter smiled and thanked her before sitting down across from her.
"Still the same?" Mo Shuran asked as they sat in the café they used to frequent. She loved to organize her photo albums there, while Wen Qiulan enjoyed reading. They often met there, spending entire afternoons together.
"Yes, do you still enjoy Americano?"
"Still do, but this time, you can add a little sugar."
As Mo Shuran spoke, she winked at Wen Qiulan. Her features were striking, combining the classical beauty of an East Asian with the depth of a Westerner. She had dyed her hair a misty blue and tied it back in a simple ponytail, wearing a black outfit and a dark blue necklace that Wen Qiulan had given her. Wen Qiulan called the waiter to place their orders, and the two chatted casually. Wen Qiulan wanted to tell Mo Shuran about her relationship with Evie during this meeting.
"A'ran, there's something I want to share with you. I've recently found someone I like." Wen Qiulan said softly, her tone filled with undisguised joy. Upon hearing this, Mo Shuran, who was stirring her coffee with a spoon, shook slightly, almost dropping the spoon on the table. She steadied herself, looked up at Wen Qiulan.
This person still liked to wear such clean white, just like her personality, everything about her is neat and tidy, but Wen Qiulan had finally found someone she liked?
"Really? What kind of Omega is she? Or did you find a Beta?"
"She's an Omega, a former student of mine. Although she's much younger than me, she's very reliable and a really good girl." Wen Qiulan mentioned Evie, a gentle smile on her face, but she overlooked the fleeting disappointment in Mo Shuran's eyes.
"I thought with your temperament, you wouldn't find someone you liked in your life. It's great that you found someone suitable."
"When she has time, I'll introduce you to her. But enough about me, what about you? Do you have a suitable lover?" Wen Qiulan looked Mo Shuran up and down. She knew her friend was always popular, yet the discerning Mo Shuran had never really sought a partner.
"A lover? I just broke up before coming back, so I'm not looking for anyone right now. Also, here's something for you. You mentioned wanting to see the aurora, so I specially made a photo album of the aurora for you." Mo Shuran said as she took an album out of her bag. Wen Qiulan's eyes lit up with surprise, and she smiled as she accepted it, also handing over her own gift.
"Here, for you. I know you like blue. See if you like it." Wen Qiulan gifted her an exquisite bracelet. Although it was just a small piece of decoration, the effort put into it was evident. The bracelet was made of precious leather, and each embroidery on it was handmade. In this machine-dominated era, handmade items had become the most valuable labor. This gift represented not just time but a lot of effort as well.
"A'lan, thank you, I love it. Do you want to go out tonight?" Mo Shuran clearly didn't want to part ways with Wen Qiulan so soon, but upon hearing the latter's response, her expression changed.
"Sorry, A'ran, I don't think I can tonight. How about another day? I also want to visit Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo. My mother has been wanting to see you too."
"Alright, anytime is fine."
After chatting for a while, Wen Qiulan's communicator lit up. She stepped away to take the call and returned to say she had to leave. "A'ran, I have to go now."
"Mm, you go ahead." Mo Shuran quietly replied, watching the joy in Wen Qiulan's eyes. She thought about the tenderness in the latter's expression when she received the call. In the end, someone like her still belonged to someone else. That was fine, it meant she wouldn't have any more extravagant hopes. When Wen Qiulan returned, Evie had already finished showering and was lying on the sofa. Upon seeing her come back, Evie opened her arms wide, insisting that Wen Qiulan pick her up.
"What did Lan Lan bring back?"
"It's a photo album of the aurora from a friend. Do you want to take a look?" Wen Qiulan took out the album and told Evie about Mo Shuran. As Evie listened, her gaze scrutinized the album. She could tell that a lot of thought and time had gone into making it, and giving such an album indicated a deep relationship. Normally, since Mo Shuran was an Alpha, Evie wouldn't doubt it, but thinking about Dana, who also liked Alphas, made her feel anxious.
"Lan Lan, are you very close with this friend?"
"She's a friend I've known since childhood, she's my best friend."
"I see, but this album is so meticulously done. it doesn't look like something you'd give to just a friend. It seems more like a gift for a girlfriend. Your friend wouldn't have feelings for you, would she?"
Evie asked tentatively. Wen Qiulan paused for a moment after she spoke, then smiled and pinched Evie's nose.
"You, always thinking about such things all day long? A'ran is an Alpha too, it's impossible for her to like me." Wen Qiulan explained gently, showing no signs of anger despite being questioned. Evie responded with an "Oh" and didn't pursue the matter further, though she still felt a bit uneasy.
"Xiao Yi, you take a look first, I'm going to take a shower." Seeing that Evie seemed very interested in the album, Wen Qiulan left it with her and went to wash up. As soon as she left, Evie immediately contacted Dionysus.
"Miss, how may I assist you?"
"Help me look into Lan Lan's good friend. Find out who she met this afternoon, her background, and her experiences over the years. I need it before tonight."
"Understood. I will take care of it right away."
After giving her instructions to Dionysus, it wasn't long before Wen Qiulan finished her shower and came out. She had changed into her usual white nightgown, with a simple camel-colored coat over it. As she dried her damp hair, she approached Evie with a gentle smile, radiating an inviting warmth. Watching Wen Qiulan like this, Evie felt that the idea of an Alpha not liking another Alpha was a lie. Who wouldn't like someone as wonderful as Wen Qiulan?
With this thought, Evie felt a sense of crisis. Her Alpha was too exceptional, and many people might have their eyes on her.
