Chapter 115: Extra 14: Bar
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
In the bar, neon lights flickered, playing the favorite music of young people. Laughter of friends filled the air, and the sound of bottles opening and ice cubes clinking into glasses mingled together, creating a lively corner for those seeking release in the night.
In a corner booth sat several tall, handsome male alphas, accompanied by petite and adorable female omegas.
They were discussing their recent internship experiences.
“Oh, don’t even mention it. My dance company is too exhausting. Besides being a main instructor, we also have to handle admissions. If we don’t meet the enrollment quota, they cut our pay. And to begin with, the pay isn’t much.”
“I’m still waiting for the orchestra audition notice. I hope I can make it this time. This is my third orchestra audition.”
“Wasn’t Ran supposed to come? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”
“Hahaha speaking of which, I laughed when I heard about it. I heard he ran a red light while on leave from school and got his license suspended. He still hasn’t gotten it back, so he’s probably still on the road.”
As they were joking around, one of the roommates suddenly felt a bottle against the back of his head.
“Laughing at who?”
The roommate froze for a moment, then turned to see Luo Songran. He chuckled awkwardly for a couple of seconds. “Haha, Ran, you’re here. Come on, sit down.”
When the roommates and classmates from the music school saw Luo Songran arrive, they cheered. After all, they hadn’t seen him in a long time, and they only knew he had taken a leave of absence due to family matters, but they didn’t know the specific reasons.
Luo Songran placed several bottles of good wine on the glass table and looked around at his long-lost roommates and classmates. The feeling of reunion made him nostalgic. He sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs and placing his hands on the back of the sofa, spreading them out:
“Ah, the feeling of freedom.”
Two years ago, he was the brightest star in the nightclub and the wildest beta in the supercar club. Two years later, he had twins and a husband who watched his every move. Who would have thought?
He himself couldn’t believe how fast time had passed.
“Brought a few bottles of good wine as a welcome gift for you guys.” Luo Songran nodded towards the wine on the table, then saw the bartender passing by. “Hello, could you open these bottles for us?”
“Sure.” The bartender walked over to help with the wine, picking up the expensive bottles in his hand and shaking them.
“Ran, so what did you do during your year and a half off from school? We’re really curious.” One of the roommates leaned closer to Luo Songran, putting his arm around him and resting his head on it, looking at him with curiosity. “Was there something wrong with your family?”
“Yeah, you said you’d tell us later, can you tell us now?”
Luo Songran glanced at his roommate who was so close to him, raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Friendly reminder, try not to get too close to me.”
If he caught the scent of another alpha on him, Mr. Duan wouldn’t know what he’d do.
“Wow, you’re quite something, Ran. You’ve become quite distant after taking a year and a half off, huh?” The roommate was completely caught off guard. He reached out and hooked Luo Songran’s neck, playing around with him. “Who used to help you with meals and laundry at school? And now you’re telling me not to get too close to you?”
When the roommate hugged Luo Songran, he caught a strong alpha pheromone scent emanating from him. It was as potent as a marking scent, and involuntarily, he let go.
On the side, another roommate who hadn’t seen the expression of the first one said, “Ran, I’ve invited some alphas from the Sports College for you tonight. They’ve been doing part-time work at my gym recently, and they definitely fit your criteria.”
Luo Songran’s eyes lit up. He smiled, seemingly amused, “Oh? When are they coming?” Anyway, he was just curious, not planning to do anything.
At this moment, the roommate glanced at his phone. “They’re here; they’re at the door.”
Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. Just as he said that, several tall and conspicuous alphas walked in through the door. The roommate waved to them.
As Luo Songran looked over, he saw two alphas wearing gray sportswear vests and sweatpants, with well-defined muscular lines. He couldn’t help but squint his eyes. People always enjoyed admiring them.
He nodded satisfactorily. “Hmm, you’ve arranged it well.”
“Are you still with Professor Duan…?” The roommate hesitated to ask, recalling that when Luo Songran was still at school, this older alpha had approached them several times.
“We got married.” Luo Songran stated plainly, with a slight smile.
The roommates and classmates instantly widened their eyes in shock, exclaiming in unison, “What?!”
…So, he got married during this year and a half?
Well, this was a secret marriage indeed.
Luo Songran expected them to be surprised. Not only them, but he himself would also marvel at how quickly the past two years had gone by. He looked at his roommate entertaining the alphas beside him, leaned back, supported his head with his hand against the back of the sofa, and looked at one of the alphas with glasses, smiling as he asked, “What year are you in?”
“Cough, I’m a freshman.” The alpha with glasses was tall. He secretly glanced at the very pretty beta next to him, feeling somewhat awkward, especially with the strong alpha pheromones emanating from him.
Luo Songran said, “Ah,” drawing out the sound. He raised an eyebrow and said, “So you’re the younger brother, huh? You’re really tall.”
The alpha with glasses raised his lips in response to the compliment, but then quickly restrained himself the next second.
“Just a little shorter than my husband.” Luo Songran patted the alpha’s shoulder. “But it’s okay; you’re only a freshman. You’ll grow taller. Keep it up.”
The alpha with glasses: “… Do they already have a husband?”
“Songran, why did you get married? I thought you took a leave of absence to take care of yourself or something.” The omega classmate, who used to often ask Luo Songran about violin-related matters, still felt very surprised. “I didn’t expect you to get married. Before, I remember you saying you and Professor Duan were just…”
Luo Songran smiled knowingly. “We didn’t get married at the start of the leave. We were already married when we were still in school. It’s been almost two years now.”
From finding out about the pregnancy, to the birth of the twins, and now the twins were nine months old, indeed it had been almost two years.
This smile distracted the alpha with glasses beside him for a moment, who muttered quietly, “So beautiful.”
Luo Songran heard the barely audible remark, smiled, didn’t say anything, and leaned down to pick up the glass in front of him. He asked, “Is this water?”
Roommate B poured a glass of rum for Luo Songran, just waking up. “You brought such good wine for us, and you’re not going to have a drink yourself?”
Luo Songran looked at the rum mixed with large ice cubes, slowly pouring into the glass along the rim. He had initially thought he wouldn’t drink, but considering he wasn’t driving and would call a ride, drinking a little wouldn’t hurt. At most, he’d be scolded a bit when he got home for smelling like alcohol. Or perhaps, he’d be caught before he even got back.
“Well, I’ll have a couple of sips then.”
He took the glass of rum handed to him by Roommate B and took a sip.
The cool and rich taste spread through his mouth, the refreshing feeling of pure spirits mixed with ice water. He suddenly felt very comfortable in his stomach and couldn’t help but have a few more drinks.
The roommates and classmates watched Luo Songran down two drinks like this, seeing the slight intoxication in his eyes, but no signs of drunkenness. While admiring his alcohol tolerance, they couldn’t help but marvel at how much more charming this beta seemed compared to a year ago.
It was a charm that emanated from within.
And it wasn’t the kind of charm that attracted both men and women; this kind of charm was even more appealing to alphas.
“Ran, if you drink like this, won’t your husband say something?” Roommate A couldn’t help but ask.
“He will,” Luo Songran put down his glass, thinking that two drinks were enough. He lazily leaned back in his chair. “Just a couple of drinks; as long as I’m not drunk, he wouldn’t dare to say anything to me.”
Perhaps feeling a bit warm, he loosened his collar.
Roommate A, noticing the younger alphas next to them staring, coughed and leaned in close to Luo Songran’s ear. “Tone it down a bit. Didn’t you notice those young alphas all have their eyes on you? They’re as eager as if they’re about to devour you.”
Luo Songran, hearing this, deliberately looked at the younger alpha brothers next to him. “What are you looking at me like that for? Big brother already has a husband, so don’t even think about it.”
With a mischievous lift of his eyebrow, he lightly clinked glasses with the alpha with glasses, smiling even more brightly.
The alpha with glasses swallowed nervously and boldly asked, “Can I have your contact information, big brother?”
This sparked cheers from the other alphas nearby.
Luo Songran thought that two years ago, he might have given it, but now, where would he dare? Just as he was about to politely decline, a low and somewhat oppressive voice came from behind, “Of course not.”
He abruptly turned his head, then widened his eyes. In the bar, Duan Yizhou holding the twins looked particularly eye-catching.
“Daddy!”
As soon as the twins saw their dad, they reached out for him to hold them. And their childish cries attracted a lot of attention. Who would bring their kids to a bar? This was absolutely impossible, but today, such a scene appeared.
Luo Songran was dumbfounded. He looked at Duan Yizhou with a wry smile. “Why did you bring them to the bar? Weren’t they asleep?”
Duan Yizhou, holding one of the twins, stared at Luo Songran with a touch of reproach. “Little piglet wanted to see you, what could I do? So I brought them to find you.”
The little piglet cooperated perfectly. When he saw his dad not holding them, he immediately started crying. Big tears fell from his big eyes, making him look pitiful.
Luo Songran sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead. He realized that this was probably Duan Yizhou’s deliberate plan. So easily getting him to come out to the bar, it was obviously to set up this scene. He reached out to hold the twins, but Duan Yizhou wouldn’t let him.
“Are you drinking?” Duan Yizhou leaned closer to him, frowning as he smelled the alcohol on Luo Songran’s body.
“Just a little.” Luo Songran thought so too. It was better not to hold the kids after drinking. If he accidentally dropped them, that would be disastrous. Then thinking of Duan Yizhou’s purpose for coming, it was most likely to take him back. There was no other way; he could only say to his friends behind him.
“Sorry, my two babies want to find daddy. I have to go back and comfort them. Let’s meet next time.”
The roommates and classmates looked at Luo Songran in shock, then glanced at Duan Yizhou holding the two babies in his arms. Their eyes swept between the four of them, as if they were sharing the same face.
Finally, they widened their eyes and exclaimed, “You have children?!”
Luo Songran nodded calmly, pointing to the twins. “These two are mine, fraternal twins.” After saying that, he said goodbye to them and went to settle the bill. He didn’t realize it until he stood up, but when he did, the black lace on the back of his shirt was visible.
Duan Yizhou narrowed his eyes, looking at the alphas whose eyes were all fixed on him, his expression darkening. He had already started thinking about how to “educate” this unruly little ancestor when they got home.
On the way back, Luo Songran glanced at the twins sleeping in their safety seats behind. “How do these two fall asleep instantly every time they get in the car?”
“Baby, you look good in this outfit.”
Hearing Duan Yizhou’s words, Luo Songran leaned back in his seat, lazily propping his hand against the car window, resting his forehead against it as he chuckled. “What’s the implication? You don’t want me to wear it?”
“No, what you want to wear is your choice.”
Duan Yizhou drove into the villa, about two minutes away from their own garage. The garage door slowly opened, and the car drove in and parked.
Luo Songran sensed something amiss in Duan Yizhou’s tone. He reached out and pinched the man’s ear. “So does that mean I can’t go out and have fun?”
“A little bit.” Duan Yizhou parked the car, opened the door, walked to the back seat, and opened the door to carry the already asleep twins.
Seeing the situation, Luo Songran walked to the other side and lifted the other twin. Perhaps a bit tipsy from the alcohol, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy as he bent over to pick up the baby.
Luckily, a large hand supported his lower back, stabilizing him before he could fall.
He then saw Duan Yizhou take the baby from him. “Let me do it. You walk slowly and don’t trip.” With that, Duan Yizhou walked towards the elevator.
Luo Songran stood still for two seconds, as if realizing something, before following along. Inside the elevator, he said, “Duan Yizhou, I remembered something just now.”
“What did you remember?”
“Now, you spend more time holding the twins than holding me.”
The elevator gradually ascended to the fourth floor of the villa.
When they reached the fourth floor and the elevator door opened, Duan Yizhou carried the twins to their nursery. They coincidentally saw the nanny coming out of the nursery. “Aunt Rong, I’ll leave the children to you.”
With that, he carried the children back into the room, kissed them before leaving.
Originally, Luo Songran wanted to stay in the nursery with the twins for a while, but he was pulled away by Duan Yizhou. “…I want to see the twins.”
“You didn’t think about them when we went out earlier, but now you want to.”
As they approached the elevator, before Luo Songran could react, Duan Yizhou lifted him up, holding him face to face. He exclaimed in surprise, meeting Duan Yizhou’s gaze. “What are you doing?”
Then, he felt Duan Yizhou’s hand supporting his buttocks, while the other hand traced the lace pattern on the back of his shirt, and suddenly heard a tearing sound.
Luo Songran widened his eyes in astonishment, feeling a coolness at his lower back. Immediately after, a warm and large hand covered it with an irresistible force.
“D*mn you.”
The man’s deep and hoarse voice echoed in the elevator. With a ‘ding’, the elevator reached the top floor, and a sense of danger spread.
