"You made him stop the car and then we both took him in the car. We were together for two whole days just to take care of him as our baby. When he got well you asked everyone to keep him as your puppy and they permitted you to do so.
But after three months when your whole family went on that unfortunate journey you asked me to take care of him. He is thirteen years three months old now.
I have been taking good care of it since then but I forgot to take care of the person who was behind Oreo's meeting with me."
Understanding the regret in alpha's mind, Xiao Xing looked at Xie Jayden and raised a question to him,
"Jay gege, why are you saying this? You always took good care of me. Jin didi told me everything that I don't remember."
Looking at innocent omega alpha smiled sweetly and went back to look at Oreo and let out his thoughts while petting his head,
"A-Yuan, sometimes what we see or hear is not the actual truth. It can be fabricated. Nowadays fabricating the truth has become so easy, you can manipulate anything or anyone. You can play with anyone's feelings."
Hearing Xie Jayden's reply Xiao Xing's body got stiff for seconds and he went in his thoughts,
"Fabricated truth? Does he get any idea about me not as A-Yuan? But why am I feeling like I am missing out on the most important part of Xie Jayden's life?"
"Jay gege, would you mind sharing your sorrows with me? I know maybe it will hurt me mentally or maybe physically too but I still want to know about it. I promise I won't judge you."
Something broke inside Alpha's heart when he saw innocent truth and worry behind the question of his omega, he wanted to open his heart in front of him but not when they were having their best time after long thirteen years.
"A-Yuan, I will. One day I promise I will open every corner of my heart and let you come to see for yourself but remember that you said you will not judge me.
But for now, would you like to play with Oreo? Now that you have become friends, why don't you start a new one? Maybe your fear of the dog will go away?"
The alpha said while gently patting Oreo's head, while at that same time Xiao Xing realised that he was almost hugging Oreo back, just like Oreo was trying to take solace on his shoulder.
Xiao Xing gently came out of Oreo's embrace and looking at cute eyes, he caressed his head gently.
"Jay gege, why am I not feeling fear for him? And, does he understand human language? You just told him that I am Mo Yuan and he is behaving like my own pet."
"No, they understand humans, A-Yuan. For them, the human's impressions in front of them and their emotions are more than our language. I think he recognized you as his saviour. You are Mo Yuan."
His breath hitched as words landed on his ears. His hand that was caressing Oreo's head stopped abruptly in the middle and his mind went into chaos for some time and with a thought of getting caught as Xiao Xing, he asked Xie Jayden a question,
"Jay gege, it's already 7. Don't you have to go to the office today? If you waste so much time, you will get late. Why don't we go back now and meet next time? You send me home now, I will take Oreo with me and get to know him better."
"What? It's already seven? How time goes so fast? I need to go a little early to the office but I promise I will take out time for you.
And about Oreo, he was always yours, to begin with, he will send a car to get him home afterwards."
They walk together till Xie Jayden hasn't sent Xiao Xing home while Oreo is constantly followed by watery eyes and wagging his tail.
"A-Yuan, I don't want to leave you but I have to complete some of the important work that is pending for a few days now.
But I promise you I will take out time for you as soon as possible."
"It's okay, Xie Jayden...I understand..."
He wanted to make clear with Xie Jayde that he was ready to wait for him but before he could say anything, Xie Jayden held his right hand's wrist and embraced him like he missed out on something really important.
"A-Yuan, I know I have messed up everything for you in the past few years but please stop calling me Xie Jayden, call me Jay gege just like you called me in the garden like you used to call me when we were young. I am sorry for hurting you..."
"Jay gege, stop saying sorry for everything that happened in the past. I want to see you in the present. Jay gege, I want to live with you so that all my life I will have you with me."
Finally, the eager words of the heart came out of his mouth.
"What you said, A-Yuan? You want to leave me?"
When Xie Jayden asked him a question, the realisation of what he said came to him but Xiao Xing changed the subject swiftly.
"Jay gege, I will call you Jay gege only if you stop saying sorry again and again. First, you promise me this."
Xiao Xing broke the bear hug that almost choked him in love and stretched his palm in front of Xie Jayden.
"I promise, I won't but you tell me why you said you want to leave me?"
"Jay gege, you will understand it soon."
He turned around to go inside a home after he said those words to his love. He looked back at Xie Jayden who was standing rooted at the same place looking all mesmerised and for the time Xiao Xing felt that their journey to become soulmates started with the first step they took.
"I love you, Jay gege."
He said in his mind. The curve on his lips was evident of the feeling that was arousing in his heart after a long time.
"I am so happy that you are back, A-Yuan. I don't know where you were in the last two months, but I will make sure to know what happened in those days.
If the reason for your coming back lies in those days then I need to know about it. I need to keep that reason with me, to not let you go away from me again. I can't afford to lose my life again."
Maybe their yearning for each other started to get a spark from each other's company but unknown to both of them some eyes got stung with their closeness.
"Sir, they have been together since morning. Yes, I will send all the pics."
*********
"WHAT? THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!"
Mo Jin shout out loud on phone as soon as the news made sense to him,
"OUCH, YOU BUGGER, Why are you shouting on the phone? I almost got deaf because of your scream. If you don't believe in me then why don't you go check your Xing ge ge?"
Xie Nuan put her phone on her study table with speakers on and rubbed her ear which was in pain due to Mo Jin's shouting on the phone.
"Xie Nuan, I have not to mess up with the routine of Yuan gege and the most important thing is that he is a coward. I hadn't brought back my baby home just because of him. Do you know how they were together while Xing gege was training?"
"Oh? So you think I am lying to you, you idiot? How dare you doubt me, Mo Jin?"
"Xie Nuan, can you respect while speaking to elders or some respectable human?"
"Mo Jin, when there is an elder or respectable person I always speak with respect. Right now I am speaking to you."
Mo Jin left startled for a long time when he heard the response from his partner in crime and facepalmed himself for asking her the stupid question.
"I am not doubting you but I know how Xiao Xing is. I have known him for a long time now. It is just impossible for him to take that step."
"If that is so correct then see the pics, I am sending you on the phone. Check them out and never dare to call me back again."
She cuts the phone as soon as the last word comes out of her mouth without even caring for another person's answer.
The ding sounds on the phone continued for a long minute and he started to open each picture one by one while the speaker of that phone,
"No...This is not happening. Xing gege, I am coming to you right now."
