The next morning, when Benjamin woke up, Li Xin was not around. When he went out, he saw a busy figure in the kitchen— a beta man in a plaid apron, preparing breakfast seriously.
After washing his face quickly, Benjamin came to the kitchen, walked up to him and asked, “Do you need help?”
Li Xin smiled and said, “No, breakfast is very simple, and it will be ready in no time.”
He heated up two cups of milk, he also baked a few slices of bread in the oven, and as soon as he opened the oven, one could smell the rich aroma. Benjamin’s appetite increased greatly, he ate all the breakfast prepared by Li Xin, and took the initiative to clean up the dishes in the kitchen after the meal. Li Xin wanted to stop him, but the alpha man was tall and had long legs and walked fast. He couldn’t stop him, so he had no choice but to follow him to the kitchen and stand beside him as he said, “I’ll just clean it up, give it to me quickly.”
Benjamin raised his eyebrows: “How can I do it? You can’t do all the housework by yourself.”
Li Xin didn’t realize the meaning of this sentence, but seeing that Benjamin quickly packed up the tableware and neatly placed the dishes in the cupboard, Li Xin couldn’t help but say, “I thought you wouldn’t know how to do housework.” An alpha like him with a noble background must have countless servants in his family. Benjamin must have never set foot in the kitchen, so it was not expected that he would offer to help, without putting on airs at all.
In fact, Li Xin was not mistaken, it was the first time for Benjamin to do housework. When he was at home, the housework was done by robots. When he went to the army, he always ate in the cafeteria. So, he had never been in the kitchen.
However, in front of his future partner, he must always perform well to make a good impression on him.
After tidying up the kitchen, Benjamin returned to the living room. Here Li Xin was bending over to mop the floor. The floor was so spotless that he could almost use it as a mirror.
Benjamin asked: “Don’t you use robots for simple housework like mopping the floor?”
Li Xin nodded and said: “I think that if everything depends on machines, people will only become lazier. Anyway, staying at home with nothing to do, cleaning the house by yourself can also be regarded as exercise.”
The family man had a strong breath of life, and he had to do many things by himself, which was completely different from the pampered alphas and omega that Benjamin knew. Perhaps this was what attracted Li Xin so much to him. Especially since this Li Xin, who looked like a “little family man” wearing an apron, was really cute.
Benjamin looked at him tenderly and said: “This house has not been cleaned much since it was renovated, so let’s do a big cleaning today. I’ll help you, it’s so boring for you to work alone.”
Li Xin waved his hand: “You don’t need to help, just go to the living room and sit for a while, I’ll be fine soon…”
“Staying at home and having nothing to do, I’m going to be sick. I’ll help you mop.” Benjamin took the mop from Li Xin’s hand and started mopping the floor. Li Xin had no choice but to give him the living room and tidy the bedroom by himself.
When he came to the bedroom, thinking of the dream last night, Li Xin’s ears felt hot again.
But he quickly chased away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and took some clothes to wash.
One of the two mopped the floor and the other did the laundry. They really looked like a couple cleaning at home.
— Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Li Xin was a little confused, thinking it was the property owner, so he turned around and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man who was slightly shorter than himself standing in front of him. The man had a bright smile on his face, but his eyes widened in surprise when he saw him—his eyes were big and he looked very cute when he stared roundly at him.
Li Xin was startled, and asked: “Who are you?”
The man was also startled and asked: “I should ask you this question!”
The two looked at each other.
Hearing the noise, Benjamin immediately went to the door, saw the visitor, and immediately had a headache: “Iman, what are you doing here?”
Ian said: “Brother, I…”
Before he finished speaking, Benjamin interrupted him: “Li Xin, he is my cousin named Iman.”
Hearing this, Li Xin immediately looked at Iman gratefully: “It turned out to be you, thank you so much, your house…”
Iman was at a loss: “What house?”
Benjamin quickly dragged his younger brother into the room, and said, “Are you going to stand at the door and chat? Let’s talk in the room.”
Li Xin also felt it was very impolite, and hurriedly said, “Come in, please, I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Seeing Li Xin’s back turning to go to the kitchen, Iman’s head was full of question marks: “Brother, who is this person? What house was he talking about?”
Benjamin dragged his younger brother to the living room, and said in a low voice, “It’s your future brother-in-law.”
Iman’s eyeballs were about to fall out: “Huh?”
Benjamin said seriously: “I’m chasing him, so, listen carefully, don’t ruin my business!”
Iman couldn’t believe it, his cousin, who always had eyes above his head, was playing the role of a family man just now, holding a mop…? And that one named Li Xin, who didn’t have the aura of alpha or omega pheromones at all, should be a beta, right?
One mopping the floor and one doing laundry??
Iman felt a little messy all over, and he always felt that this “family man” style of painting was completely different from his ascetic cousin in military uniform.
Just when he was in a daze, he heard his cousin lower his voice and say, “Didn’t I call you last time to rent a house? I lied to him that this house is yours and asked him to rent it to live in it. Don’t expose me. Do you understand?”
Iman nodded blankly: “Oh…”
At this moment, Li Xin came over with three glasses of water, handed one to Iman, and said gratefully: “Mr., I have been living here for half a year, the environment is very good, but the rent is too cheap, I am really embarrassed to live in…”
Benjamin interrupted him softly: “You are welcome, my brother’s house has been vacant and no one lives in it, if you like, just stay here for a long time.”
Iman was very witty, immediately cooperated and said: “That’s right, you are my cousin’s good friend, and it should be cheaper for you.”
Benjamin gave him a “You are very sensible” look.
Iman rubbed his nose with a dry smile, and said, “Brother, your mecha has been repaired and all the systems have been reinstalled. I was just free today, so I brought it to you along the way.” He took out the necklace containing the smart mech from his pocket and handed it to Benjamin.
“Thanks.” Knowing his reason for coming, Benjamin accepted the smart mech, and said, “Is there anything else?” This meant, if there is nothing else to do, you can leave and don’t disturb the world of the two of us.
Iman was very interesting: “Yeah, it’s okay, then I’ll go first.”
Just as he was about to get up, Li Xin stopped him and said, “I’ve always wanted to treat you to dinner, but unfortunately I didn’t have the chance. Since I met you today, how about you stay for lunch? Just take it as an expression of my thanks.”
Iman looked at Benjamin, who had no choice but to follow Li Xin: “Okay, just go after lunch.”
Li Xin said: “I know that nearby there is a private restaurant with a good environment, and I know the owner, why don’t we go there?”
Benjamin’s eyes were gentle: “Well, you can decide.”
Seeing his cousin’s gentle eyes, Iman couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingling, and his whole body trembled. There was a shock.
Benjamin had never looked for romantic objects for so many years, and his attitude towards the omegas introduced to him by his family was very cold and alienated. Unexpectedly, when he took the initiative to chase someone, his whole body changed, and he was so gentle that Iman was not very habituated.
Iman scratched his head, a little curious about the magic power of this beta that made his cousin so determined.
….
The three of them came to the private restaurant and booked a private room. Li Xin used to bring Qin Yize here often. The decoration of the restaurant was really unique. He was also familiar with the delicious dishes here, so he quickly ordered a sumptuous table.
After the food was served, Benjamin suddenly said: “By the way, Iman, Li Xin is still single now. You work in a mecha company. I remember that there are quite a lot of beta girls in your company who are single. See if there is any suitable one for Li Xin and introduce him.”
Iman: “Huh??”
What game was this one playing? Didn’t you say you wanted to chase him? Why are you enthusiastically introducing dating objects to him again?
Iman’s shocked eyes made Li Xin very embarrassed, thinking that the other party was shocked by his “dragging someone to introduce his girlfriend”, so Li Xin lowered his head in embarrassment, blushing and said: “Well, let’s not bother Brother Iman?”
“There’s no need to be polite. It’s not a trouble to help you pay attention, right Iman?” Benjamin looked at his cousin and found that his cousin was still in a state of shock. He kicked Iman hard under the table, and when Iman came back to his senses, he hurriedly smiled and said, “That’s right, everything my brother says is right.”
“…” Benjamin gave him a clear look.
Iman immediately coughed and smiled brightly: “I mean, no problem, I will help you pay attention, what kind of person do you like?”
Li Xin said with a blushing face, “I want to find someone who is gentle and easy to get along with. It is better if it’s a Beta girl, I don’t have any other requirements.”
Iman looked at Benjamin, who said indifferently: “It’s not difficult, Iman, please pay attention later, and let me know when you have news.”
“…Okay.” Iman was really puzzled, he agreed with his mouth, but he was very puzzled in his heart.
It wasn’t until after the meal when Li Xin rushed to pay the bill that Iman came over and asked, “Brother, what do you mean? I really don’t understand. Aren’t you going to chase him? Why would you kindly introduce him to a girl?”
Benjamin smiled and said, “I’m not kind, I’m obviously bad.”
Iman: “???”
Benjamin leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, “Li Xin has been single for so many years, and has always wanted to get out of singlehood. I am afraid that he will find a girl to date, and then I will become a third party, and it will be too tiring. It is better to control the progress of this matter in my own hands, as long as I delay him from looking, he would never be able to find a girlfriend, so I can take it slowly, understand?”
Iman understood and couldn’t help cursing: “You are too shameless!”
“I admit that I’m shameless. But I’m serious about him.” Benjamin was silent for a moment, then said, “I like him very much, and I want to marry him back home to be my partner. Isn’t it normal to use tricks when chasing someone?”
Iman was startled, looking at the gentle expression on his cousin’s face, he finally believed that he really liked Li Xin.
It was just that Li Xin was too pitiful, he still didn’t know anything – he didn’t know that he was stepping into the hunter’s trap step by step.
Would he be sad if he knew the truth one day?
