Ye Ci leaned over, squeezed his fingertips, and twisted them.

There is a powdery feeling similar to suet between the fingertips.

He was still confused, but he had an intuition that something was going wrong, his face suddenly burned hot, he clutched the back of his neck and stood straight on the ground, and the revolving lantern of life was projected in his mind...

Fortunately, Huo Tinglan was still asleep.

After another half a minute, he swallowed his saliva, leaned over and lifted a corner and slowly pulled it.

If the technique is light enough and careful enough, then maybe the list can be pulled out without disturbing Uncle Huo.

The idea is very good, but before it can be implemented, Huo Tinglan suddenly turned over, opened his eyes without warning, and stared straight at Ye Ci. When he spoke, his tone was sober as if he hadn't slept: "What's the matter, Baby?"

Primitive vigil instinct enables advanced Alphas to recover energy quickly through shallow and short sleep, and the higher the gland level, the more prone to light sleep and easy to wake up.

Besides, the fishy-sweet vanilla smell is so strong that it chokes the nose, and it's hard not to wake up.

"No, it's nothing!" Ye Ci almost jumped up from his sudden stare, "You sleep, sleep yours, I'll go to the toilet."

How is Uncle Huo's sleep better than... no, why is he so alert? !

Huo Tinglan turned around and turned on the light, propped his upper body up with his elbows on the pillow, glanced at him with downcast eyes, and teased, "Why is there a sweet smell, juice spilled?"

"Ah, um." Ye Ci was stunned for a moment, his heart pounding, and he babbled nonsense, "I'm not, I'm not careful."

"Why are you eating in the dark at night?" Huo Tinglan looked at Ye Ci tenderly, and slowly asked with concern, "You haven't had enough for dinner, are you hungry?"

"Eat dinner, I'm quite full." Ye Ci said incoherently, "I, isn't this just... when I'm growing up, Rong, I get hungry easily."

"Oh." Huo Tinglan was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then smiled, and reproached affectionately, "And spilled some pants...be careful next time."

Ye Ci's eyes were blank, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to jump out the window and finish it off.

Huo Tinglan remained calm and composed: "Next time for supper... bring me one?"

"Next time, I'll take you next time." Ye Ci nodded indiscriminately.

"What juice did you drink?"

"Grass, strawberry."

"Where did you get it?"

"...Then what, the kitchen ice, in the refrigerator."

"Do you know where the kitchen is?"

Surprised tone.

"..."

Seeing that Mr. Xiao was so ashamed that he would answer indiscriminately when asked, Huo Tinglan teased him for a long time and said a lot of nonsense.

His Alpha needs have not been met for a long time, and after losing his spouse, he regained it but his lover is too young, his glands are not fully developed, and he has been unable to eat...

Psychologically, it is inevitable that there will be some serious illnesses.

The symptom is that he likes to bully children, and the more obedient he is, the happier he is to bully them.

Ye Ci: "..."

I thought Uncle Huo was going to rescue him and let him go down the steps.

Why is it getting worse and worse...

Seeing that Ye Ci was about to be molested into a coma, Huo Tinglan mercifully withdrew his magical powers, dug out the replacement clothes, sheets and other items from the cabinet, and let Ye Ci go to the bathroom.

After tidying up in a hurry, Huo Tinglan couldn't help it, he pushed Ye Ci into the corner, punctured the window paper, and gave him a few simple "science".

In short, it is…

"It's getting better soon."

"Can you please stop talking about this first, Uncle Huo..." Ye Ci drooped his head, his face was so red that he could boil an egg, and he was so ashamed that he could cry.

Not just the glands at the back of his neck, he has completely turned into an Omega.

However, Huo Tinglan managed to put on a serious tone, half-smiling, and stopped him talking endlessly.

In order to make Huo Tinglan shut up temporarily, Ye Ci agreed to the next thing without tears—

About his lack of education in some respects.

In fact, there is no need to delay. Before the relationship was settled, there were some things that even Huo Tinglan felt hot on his lips, and he couldn't teach them if he wanted to. Now he can finally teach them openly.

"...Then it's settled? Let's not talk about it today, I will talk to you slowly when I go back." Huo Tinglan smiled and blamed others, "You don't read the popular science textbook I gave you before, but I want to personally read it. I will teach you, but I am afraid that you are too thin-skinned and misunderstand that I will take advantage of you by using my head... I just have time during the summer vacation, and I will go back in two days, one class a day, one for forty minutes, and finish the book So far, is this arrangement okay for you?"

"Okay, all...anything is fine."

"Then, when will you have time...go to the hospital to check?" Huo Tinglan pointedly pointed at Ye Ci's stomach.

How dare Ye Ci say no, he just hoped that Uncle Huo would stop quickly and say whatever he said.

Huo Tinglan was satisfied, so he let him go to sleep.

the next day.

Ye Ci didn't want to let the holidays wear down his fighting spirit too much, so he still got up as early as when he was in school, and used the most awake time in the morning to memorize ancient Chinese and English vocabulary for a while, and then went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, he went back to his room to do the problems. Too much pressure would have the opposite effect, and the strings should be loose. According to Huo Tinglan's guidance, he formulated a study schedule, rested every day when the goal was completed, which can be regarded as recharging for the next year.

Huo Tinglan said that after today's task is completed, he will play around with him. There is a horse farm near the old house, where people can ride horses, and there is a shooting gallery nearby, where they can play with guns. After all, he was playful, and he was full of energy to learn. He completed the task nearly an hour earlier than the expected time, and he excitedly looked for someone after putting down his pen. Huo Tinglan was not in the room where they were resting last night, and the message didn't come back in seconds, so he asked an aunt who cleaned the room casually. The other party said that Mr. Huo was drinking tea in the tea room on the second floor. They passed by, but before they had time to knock on the door, they heard Lin Yao's soft voice from the tea room.

"... After all, he is the husband of you, the Patriarch of the Huo family. In the future, he will attend some occasions with you more or less. It is not good to speak up and speak poorly..."

It turned out that he stuttered.

What Lin Yao said was not unreasonable, and her words were also tactful, but Huo Tinglan still defended her, with a smile in her voice, almost playing tricks: "He said it's not easy, so there's me. I'll be mine." Mister's spokesperson, the same..."

"Oh," Lin Yao teased him with a smile, "I know that Xiao Ci is your heart, and you won't listen to even half a sentence that doesn't please your ears." She calmly persuaded, "I know, you are afraid of him I think you despise him for not being good enough, and you are afraid that his self-esteem will be hurt, I understand, so I didn't talk to him and talk to you, this is not an urgent matter, I just want to remind you."

"I know you are kind." Huo Tinglan smiled, changed the subject lightly, and stopped talking about it with Lin Yao.

He knew the cause of Ye Ci's language barrier.

In the previous life, it was only in the second year after marriage that Ye Ci completely let go of his guard and confide those things to him.

That was Ye Hongjun's ex-husband, Ye Ci's stepfather, a low-level Alpha.

This man had been in love with Ye Hongjun for more than half a year before getting married, and he had always been taciturn and honest, gentle and honest, and he was very obedient to the mother and son, making Ye Hongjun mistakenly think that he and his child had found support for the rest of their lives.

However, after a few months of marriage, that scumbag gradually tore off his disguise in front of their mother and son.

He has quite serious violent tendencies.

This personality flaw became doubly severe when he became addicted to drugs.

Maybe it was to justify the violence, or just to add some fun to the monotonous brutality. In addition to the regular punching and kicking, he would torture Xiao Ye, who was only seven years old at the time, in the name of "remembering the text" resignation.

Of course, the items to be recited are not limited to elementary school textbooks. In order to deliberately make things difficult for others, the stepfather sometimes even finds some difficult and obscure classical Chinese.

In the process of reciting Xiaoyeci, typos, omissions, stumbles...

will lead to beatings.

If Ye Hongjun goes to stop him, he will be beaten together.

For Xiaoyeci, "reciting texts" was synonymous with fear during those days of purgatory.

The act of "talking" is often accompanied by sudden and severe beatings.

During that time, Xiao Yeci often went to school with injuries all over her body, her thin arms and legs were covered with bruises, and even a small child was wrapped in long clothes and trousers during the dog days, otherwise Can't see people.

Ye Hongjun has been desperately protecting her child, but she and Alpha have a huge disparity in physical strength, and the divorce process is also difficult and long, with obstacles everywhere, and even after the divorce is successfully judged, she has been harassed all the time. It wasn't until the poisonous worm was sent to prison to raise funds for drug trafficking, and then died suddenly of a drug overdose after being released from prison for several years, that the life of their mother and son completely returned to peace.

Unfortunately, this calm came too late.

After being abused for a period of time, Xiao Yeci gradually realized that when she was speaking normally, she often experienced obstacles such as cold sweats and a blank mind due to emotions such as tension and anxiety, as if she was being forced to "recite the text" ". And the tension and anxiety caused by this problem is in turn deepening and aggravating this problem... In this way, a vicious circle is formed.

After growing up, Ye Ci, who has differentiated into an A-level Alpha, has the ability to protect himself, and gradually no longer feels fear and cringe when thinking of his stepfather, but the problem of communication barriers is deeply rooted and difficult to remove.

To effectively correct Ye Ci's stuttering, psychological treatment is an unavoidable hurdle.

For this type of violence and abuse, some victims with sensitive self-esteem tend to hide it, and Huo Tinglan is not sure whether Ye Ci is willing to reveal this old scar in front of a psychotherapist.

Therefore, before Ye Ci took the initiative to ask him for help, he would never put any pressure on him.

The tea room fell silent.

Ye Ci didn't dare to stay any longer, and was about to retreat on tiptoe, when the cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

— Huo Tinglan sent him a message back.

The corridor was quiet in the afternoon, even Lin Yao could hear the sound clearly, and it couldn't escape the ears of the senior Alpha.

Huo Tinglan hurried out of the tea room, Ye Ci slipped away a few steps and knew he couldn't escape, so he stopped in embarrassment and was blocked by a corner.

"Have you learned how to eavesdrop?" Huo Tinglan first teased in a brisk tone to show that he didn't mind, then pressed Ye Ci against the wall behind him and locked him up with his arms, watching his expression.

Seeing that Ye Ci's face was blushing, he didn't look like his dignity was being stabbed, so he was relieved, and tentatively asked: "What did you hear? Tell me."

Ye Ci hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes, his eyes were peaceful, he couldn't find the slightest painful struggle when peeling off the scars, only frankness and kitten-like soft dependence.

"Uncle Huo, in fact, I, I want to correct myself, correct it." Ye Ci was slightly shy, and opened his mouth.

"Baby, why are you so obedient..." Huo Tinglan smiled softly, afraid that he would be brave, so he thought about it, and wrote lightly, "You don't need to think about attending occasions and the like, you are my husband, no one can force you to be you. Don’t go to things you don’t like, don’t go to places you don’t want to go, don’t say things you don’t want to say... Do you understand?”

"It's nothing to do with this, it's okay." Ye Ci shook his head, his expression didn't seem to be fake, "I haven't, I haven't mentioned the correction, and it's because... I used to talk to people for a day, and I didn't have a few words. I think, Can't remember. But..." He took a step forward, wrapped his arms around Huo Tinglan's thin waist, tilted his head and put his face on his shoulder.

From this angle, Huo Tinglan couldn't see his expression, but he could hear it.

"I just hope that, in the future, I can... talk to you more without hindrance."

It was a smiling tone.
