Chapter 8
☆ Reunion

The day after, Blanc invited Lulu to an event, and he eagerly accepted the opportunity to see her.

But when he arrived at the agreed-upon location and searched for Blanc, she was nowhere to be found. Instead, he turned around and saw a familiar figure that froze him, sending a chill through his entire body.

It was Louis!

He sighed inwardly, how could he be here?

Uh oh, he was so excited that he hadn't even checked the guest list. He spotted several familiar faces here and there, what was going on... Did Blanc have connections with the royal family?

No, no, no, he had to calm down. It was okay; nothing was wrong. He believed he was unrecognizable in his current appearance as long as he didn't draw too much attention.

Blanc, he had to leave before she arrived. She wouldn't blame him; he was just afraid of seeing someone he didn't want to (which was Alp, but he had no idea what Alp would look like four years later). He'd rather stand Blanc up than face that person.

"Lulu?" A soft voice broke through.

Hearing these words, Lulu was so nervous that he bit his lip and didn't dare to turn around. He could strongly feel that he had just encountered someone he knew.

"I...," he hesitated about what to say. But the voice continued, "Blanc asked me to introduce you to some friends. This way."

Huh? Someone familiar. He raised his frozen head and saw the face of a one-time acquaintance, Ray.

"Ray? You're friends with Blanc too."

Surprised, Alp froze, her facial expression strained. It was really a pity, Blanc was gone, and now Ray was here. That annoying pseudonym... He had finally found an opportunity to meet him as Alp, but he had to continue as Eugene according to what Alp wanted.

"Yeah, we've known each other for a long time. She's busy, so she asked me to check on you," he said through gritted teeth. "It's great to see you again, Lulu."

This time, bringing in so many people that Eugene didn't want to meet was all planned and anticipated. To reduce Eugene's stress, Alp extended her arm as a signal. He immediately took her hand, carefully and gently.

Eugene, this is going to be tough for you. You have to hang in there; after all, it's an opportunity... As they went through the rounds of introductions, some of the guests' expressions changed. Among them, Louis' face was the most obvious. "Good brother" had indeed noticed something was off. Louis had a difficult expression, but he still maintained a forced smile when greeting them.

And Louis didn't react much. He saw Lulu and had a brief, calm conversation with Alp. What could he expect? An A who didn't love him, along with a beta (Eugene) showing off? It was quite boring, and the beta (Eugene) looked somewhat familiar. But that was normal; after all, there were many similarities among beautiful people.

At the moment, Alp wasn't concerned about the changes Eugene might bring to the event; she was worried about whether Eugene would recognize her as Alp.

Well, this time Alp really had to thank Leonard for being so clueless. When he saw Alp, he called her by her name, asking if something good was happening today and gathering everyone together.

At the same time, Alp could feel Eugene's hand holding her arm tense up.

When she looked at Alp again, she noticed a change in her expression, a kind of unfamiliar yet inquisitive look. It was different from the vigilant and repulsive expression she had towards Ray that day, which made her more satisfied.

Eugene didn't immediately flee but stood stiffly by Alp's side. This allowed her to chat casually with Leonard.

"Who's this next to you?"

"He's Lulu, invited by Blanc..." She didn't intend to reveal the truth just yet; it wasn't the right time.

Leonard wanted to chat more with her but immediately sensed the warning smile from Alp: "You'd better leave and don't disturb my good time."

Oh, it's a new love interest.

Leonard left tactfully. Alp really knew how to play with the double identity, teasing the little beta. Poor Lulu stood next to her; oh well.

Finally, it was Alp's arena. She turned around with a radiant smile.

"I'm sorry about what happened at the wedding. I just needed to get away for a while, and Ray's situation wasn't intended to deceive you."

"Ah... I can understand." It turned out he had encountered Alp's sensitive state that day, and it was a bit frightening in hindsight.

"Well, I've come clean now. How long are you planning to hide this from me?" Alp put away her smile, enunciating two words, "Eugene." The dust settled.

Eugene was thunderstruck, frozen in place. All he could do was stare at Alp's face, pitiful, like a helpless little rabbit.

She brushed the strands of hair near Eugene's ear and said, "It's time to restore that black hair to its original color."

"Come back with me; I've been waiting for you."

If Eugene was just under the spell of Alp's charm moments ago, upon hearing this, he was completely sober.

Deceptive. Now you're trying to fake it with me? What about before when you were with my brother? Oh, you discovered that my pheromones didn't suit your taste, so you came looking for him again?

Sure enough, Alp has turned into a lousy A, and the fresh and gentle Alp from before is long gone.

Sorry, he's not the same Eugene who was still mired in disappointment. He's Lulu now, a completely different person. The past is long gone, including Alp.

He swatted her hand away and sternly refused.

"Give up!"

Alp was surprised. There was no joy in this reunion; instead, she received a cold reception.

"What..."
