Isn't Night Enough for You to Play?

The family of three arrived at the 4S dealership. After choosing a car, Father Gui drove to Chang Ning First High School.

With a new car, Gui Yue shamelessly flattered: "Dad, you look truly majestic when you spend money."
"I look majestic when I cut your bank card too." He chuckled, continuing his thoughtless remarks: "It's still early, go play somewhere, your mom and I are having our two-person world."
After saying that, the car door slammed shut.
Gui Yue stood at the gate like a bok choy, watching the exhaust fumes and feeling the harshness of life.
He clicked his tongue, scratched his head, no longer in the mood to play, and decided to go home and sleep.

---Luxurious Villa Area.
The young man wore a black suit, his slender fingers glided over the piano keys, and melodious sounds echoed in waves.
When the last note faded, the young man loosened his collar. The butler beside him listed his next schedule.
"Yes." Jiang You looked up, his amber eyes emotionlessly meeting the butler's: "Are Father and Mother coming home today?"
The butler paused, then shook his head: "The company has a big deal these days that requires the master and madam to personally handle."
Jiang You nodded, asking nothing further.
At six o'clock, Jiang You entered his room according to schedule. The door closed, and the young man's body stirred slightly. He clicked his tongue, immediately heading towards the wardrobe.
Jiang Qi took out a black T-shirt and a pair of distressed black pants from the wardrobe; these were pants Jiang You would never touch during the day.
Jiang Qi lowered his head, his slender fingers searching for the inhibitor patch that had been on his nape for six hours, then peeled it off, replacing it with a blue one.
After putting on his sneakers, Jiang Qi opened the window, skillfully climbed out, and casually put on a black baseball cap.
Though it was a simple outfit, when worn by him, it exuded an indescribable aura.
The night moon shone brightly, but the streetlights were even more brilliant, overshadowing the moonlight. A gentle breeze blew, and clouds gradually obscured the moon.
Jiang Qi leaned against the wall, a cigarette in his mouth, the flickering glow of the cigarette butt at the alley's end.
Wisps of smoke curled, mixed with foul odors. Jiang Qi lowered his eyes, flicked the ash, the flame flickered, and the smoke dissipated into the air.
Time slowly passed. About ten minutes later, the roar of a motorcycle came from afar.
"Brother You! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
The person took off his bulky helmet, flashing a hearty smile. He had a youthful face but bright red hair.
Jiang Qi gave an "Mm," looking at Meng Si Zhe's hair, and sneered: "Didn't your dad 'deal with' you?"
Meng Si Zhe rubbed his nose, smiling awkwardly: "I just dyed it, haven't gone home yet."
"Hmm, I'm afraid you won't be able to step through the door then." Jiang Qi coldly exposed the truth while stubbing out the cigarette in his hand, then tossed it into the nearby trash can.
Meng Si Zhe choked.
Speaking of this, Meng Si Zhe looked at Jiang Qi aggrievedly: "Fortunately, no one guards my house, but you always find me at night. My dad has started suspecting I'm dating. When can I skip school to hang out during the day?"
Jiang Qi took off his baseball cap, holding the black helmet draped over the motorcycle, and said: "Isn't night enough for you to play? Why do you still want to go out during the day?"
Meng Si Zhe paused, why did that sound so unpleasant?
"Brother, you're an Omega after all." Meng Si Zhe tried to puff out his chest, looking seriously at Jiang Qi, his demeanor truly contrasting with his bright red hair.
Jiang Qi, out of courtesy, assessed Meng Si Zhe. He chuckled, then silently put on his helmet.
Meng Si Zhe pretended not to hear anything, coughed, and asked: "Brother You, where are we going today? Let's not go to the same bar as last time, let's change places."
Jiang Qi pondered for a moment, then said: "To the arcade."
Meng Si Zhe snapped his fingers: "Okay!"
In the evening, the arcade was still crowded with people, mostly couples.
Meng Si Zhe loved dancing games. As soon as he entered, he pulled Jiang Qi straight to them.
Jiang Qi dodged Meng Si Zhe's excited arm, waved him off to play by himself, and went to find the racing game area.
The arcade was huge, and all the areas looked similar. Jiang Qi hadn't been there in a long time, so he didn't remember where the racing games were. While searching, he passed by the area where couples gathered—the claw machine area.
Jiang Qi glanced at the fluffy plushies in the claw machine, then pulled down the brim of his baseball cap and turned to leave.
"Damn it! Jiang He, you're amazing!"

Lan Yun Jie hugged Jiang He with one arm, vigorously rubbing his head with the other, extremely excited.
Jiang He adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind them glinting slightly. He handed all the plushies he had won to Lan Yun Jie.
Lan Yun Jie not only didn't find it strange for an Alpha to be hugging a pile of pink plushies, but he was also excitedly asking Jiang He to take photos of him.
"As expected of me, so handsome!" Lan Yun Jie happily admired his photo.
"Send it to Gui Yue."
Jiang He nodded, sharing the photo with Gui Yue.
Waiting for a long time without a reply from Gui Yue, the two didn't mind and continued to play new games.
The night deepened, and the vast courtyard was still as bright as day. Lights illuminated every corner, everyone dressed in suits and leather shoes, splendid attire, elegant gestures, accompanied by graceful piano music, they ate and chatted happily.
The children of the Gui family wore adorable or luxurious clothes. Other children gathered around them, constantly admiring and fawning, vying to be their friends. The courtyard was filled with the noisy chatter of children.
At the same time, a boy huddled on a bench, his fingernails digging into the wood splinters beneath the seat, his eyes shyly watching the other children.
He was clearly unaccustomed to the suit, occasionally reaching up to loosen his collar. Guests around stared at him, their faces full of disdain.
"I can't believe this country bumpkin is from the Gui family."
"I don't want to be friends with him! He smells!"
"His parents are vulgar too."
Mocking laughter echoed in his ears.
The night wind gently blew, rustling the leaves. Suddenly, a black mist appeared above his head, gradually engulfing the boy.
A sticky, foul odor permeated the air. Gui Yue felt as if he couldn't breathe. The scene before his eyes blurred, and a cry for help was caught in his throat.
Sweat on his forehead increased, Gui Yue squeezed his eyes shut, his fingers trembling, as if wanting to grasp something but lacking the strength to hold onto anything...
Gui Yue's eyes snapped open, gasping for breath, looking at the familiar surroundings. He let out a sigh of relief, his back drenched in sweat, his heart pounding.
Gui Yue sat up, brushed his wet hair back, and shuffled his slippers to the bathroom to wash his face.
Not long after, the sound of water came from the bathroom. Water from the shower streamed down Gui Yue's body, sweat carrying pheromones washed away with the flow, and a pungent smoky smell filled the room.
When Gui Yue came out, it was forty minutes later. He wrapped a towel around his waist, another towel around his head. He dried his hair, and the drops of water that fell from his forehead and straight, high nose bridge were finally wiped away.
Gui Yue picked up his phone, the notification light flickered.
Gui Yue didn't need to guess to know it was Lan Yun Jie's group.
Sure enough, Lan Yun Jie had taken Jiang He to the arcade and conveniently sent him a bunch of photos.
Gui Yue was about to tap to view them, but then noticed his hand was trembling. His eyes darkened, and he shook his arm.
It was just a dream, why such a strong reaction?
Gui Yue forced himself not to think about those things, lowering his eyes to look at the photos.
Jiang He knew how to capture beautiful moments. There was Lan Yun Jie's dashing figure when shooting hoops, his focused expression when shooting zombies, his victorious smile—every shot made Lan Yun Jie look very handsome.
Gui Yue was about to compliment them when he caught a glimpse of a corner in the next photo, and his movements paused.
Gui Yue narrowed his dark eyes, zoomed in on the photo, staring at the dark figure behind Lan Yun Jie.
In the photo, that person was looking longingly at the fluffy plushies, a familiar profile appearing on the screen.
Gui Yue flipped to the next photo, zoomed in again, and that person raised a hand to pull down the brim of his cap, only revealing a delicate chin.
Gui Yue blinked, then went back to the previous image, confirming he hadn't misseen.
The top student also came to the arcade at night.
That cold, aloof Omega also loves playing games.
And he was even staring at the plushies.
Oh my!
Gui Yue felt like he had discovered a terrifying truth.
