He had a long dream.
In the dream, he returned to that night ten years ago.
At that time, he still bore the name “Yu Yuan”. Although his parents died early, as the only legitimate eldest grandson of the Yu family, he was still the future head of the family. The healthy old man Yu valued him the most and his illegitimate uncle was yet to peel off his fake mask and reveal his dark ambitions hiding underneath.
It was his nineteenth birthday that day. The huge hall of the villa decorated luxuriously was full of guests who came to congratulate him. Everyone was dressed gorgeously, but the little young master Yu, who was still at an unruly age, hated such occasions the most. Expensive red wine and champagne were dull and boring. He also didn’t drink anything. After sitting in the main hall for a while, he avoided the crowd and hid in the smoking room.
Yu Yuan didn’t turn on the lights. He turned on the terminal in the dark room and played two rounds of battlefield simulation games. When he smoked the third cigarette, there was a “click” from the side, and the light from the corridor turned on.
When he came, he locked the door. He didn’t notice that there was a small door on the other side of the room. His attention was attracted by the person who broke in suddenly. With the sound of a gunshot, his character in the game was shot in the head by the enemy, and it was game over.
Yu Yuan closed the terminal, bit his cigarette, and looked over. A thin figure leaned against the door. The person didn’t seem to expect that there would be someone in the smoking room. After a brief pause, he turned around and quickly locked the door.
The light was too weak, so Yu Yuan could only see a pair of eyes clearly. The light shining in those eyes was a bit sharp, like a shard of glass. Before he could take a closer look, a shadow flashed in front of his eyes and that person fell straight down.
He was startled, stood up, and took two steps towards the door when suddenly he heard a voice. “Don’t come over.”
It was a clear voice of a young man, which sounded cold.
“Who are you?” He stopped and asked.
The young man did not answer, just stared at him vigilantly in the dark, sitting motionless on the ground leaning against the wall.
Yu Yuan took another step forward.
“I told you not to come over.” The other party’s voice sank sharply.
He approached without fear of death with the blade-like gaze of the uninvited guest, squatted down and observed the too-slender skeleton of the person in front of him face to face, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

“Omega…” he said, his tone a bit frivolous. “In estrus?”

“This is my place.”
“Then can you please leave me alone?”
“Why don’t you stand up and leave?” Yu Yuan said to the person who was soft on the ground, “Can’t move?”
The young man’s eyes turned cold. Yu Yuan couldn’t see it, but he could feel the piercing gaze cast on his face. He chuckled. “Don’t be so nervous. I’m not interested in underage children.”
“I’m an adult.” The other party corrected.
“En… what are you hinting at me?”
The young man frowned, and finally couldn’t hold back and said, “Get out.”
As soon as the voice fell, the door at the other end of the room was knocked on from outside.
The person in front of him suddenly became tense. Through the darkness, Yu Yuan looked at the contours of those eyes with interest, stood up slowly, walked to the door with the gaze behind him, opened the door, and kicked the person standing outside.
When he returned in front of the young man, he noticed that the emotion in the other’s eyes seemed to have changed, so he asked, “What’s your name? Have you gotten into trouble?”
The other party was willing to speak this time, but only answered half of the question. “My surname is Zhou.”
Stubborn and cautious, he didn’t even intend to inquire about Yu Yuan’s identity, which seemed like drawing a distance from this strange and unfamiliar alpha.
Yu Yuan became more and more interested, teasing this little omega that came from nowhere seemed to be more interesting than the boring birthday party itself, so he said, “I did you a favor. Is there no reward?”
“What do you want?”
“Today is my birthday. Give me a present.”
“I will send it when I get back.”
“So you’re saying,” Yu Yuan bit the cigarette, “If you can’t go back today, then I will have nothing?”
The young man didn’t speak, obviously acquiescing.
“It’s too much of a loss, I might as well ask for it in advance,” Yu Yuan blew a smoke ring into the young man’s beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice, “There’s no one here, I can mark you directly.”
“You’re looking for death.”
Yu Yuan ignored the young man’s threats, and said to himself, “I have a manor on Purang Island. If I stole you and hid you there, no one can find you—”
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the dagger that was about to stab his neck. With a strong slap from the back of his hand, the knife fell to the ground, and the omega, who lost his balance, suddenly fell on him.
“Just kidding.” Yu Yuan supported him. “Why are you so fierce?”
Their distance narrowed, and the young man’s soft hair rubbed against his chin. He smelled the faint scent of red wine on the other person’s body, with a hint of sweetness that could not be ignored. The body under his palm became extremely tense due to the alpha’s approach. If it wasn’t for the effect of the drug, the omega might have already punched him now.
Yu Yuan let him go, took two steps back to a safe distance, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said to break the silence, “What kind of wine did you drink? It smells weird.”
The omega replied coldly. “The cigarette you smoke also smells weird.”
Yu Yuan only thought that the other’s mouth was unforgiving, and didn’t think deeply about it. At this time, the communicator on his wrist rang, indicating that the banquet was about to end. He invited some friends to the shooting range at night, and someone had already sent a message as a reminder.
He stood up, walked to the other side of the room, opened the door, turned around, and said in a relaxed tone, “Stay here. No one will come in.”
Before leaving, the moment the door was completely closed, the omega inside said softly, “… Thank you.”
Yu Yuan smiled and threw half a cigarette into the trash can. When he walked back to the hall, he suddenly remembered the sweet scent of wine he smelled a moment ago, so he stopped, took a glass from the table, and drank it down in one gulp.
A bit bitter, not sweet enough.
He thought as he judged the taste on the tip of his tongue, undone his tie, and walked outside to join his friends waiting there.
“You guys go first. I’ll call a driver and catch up with you.”
“Aren’t you going to drive by yourself today? By the way, where is Yu Quan?”
Yu Yuan didn’t like people in his car, so he never took a driver with him whenever he went out.
“I drank a bit of wine.” He smacked his lips, looked at the communicator with a frown, and said, “You guys go first. I will bring him along later.”
The rest of the people left one after another. Yu Yuan waited for a while, but his cousin sent a message saying that he was so drunk that he couldn’t stand up, so he went back to rest early.
With a sneer, he opened the back seat and got into the car.
……
When the suspension car rushed out of the guardrail and fell off the cliff, Yu Yuan saw the shadow of death in the intense weightlessness, and then the automatic ejection device on the seat sent him out of the car at a critical moment.
He rolled down to the bottom of the cliff, dying. With his consciousness slowly dissipating, he saw a soaring fire in the woods not far away, burning half of the sky red.
The ejection device in the driver’s seat malfunctioned, and the driver was trapped in the car, blasted into an unrecognizable wreck.
In the few years just after the accident, Yu Yuan would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night from a dream. In the dream, he sat in the seat originally designed for him. When the disaster came, the violent tongue of fire swallowed him, burning him into dark nothingness.
Many years later, he had brief encounters with death too many times, but the shadows of the past gradually faded in his memory. He occasionally recalled that night that changed everything, and all his emotions seemed to have blurred into phantoms. What was left was only a bit of regret.
It’s a pity that he hasn’t had time to know the name of that omega.
