I could have been released from the hospital a long time ago, but Zhou Chen was pretty busy this time, and Qi Shu was still in the hospital bed, so I stayed.
The physicians were most likely entrusted by someone. There was a little blister on my wound as it healed. They all acted as if they were in the presence of an enemy, as if this blister would kill me. Every day, it makes me uneasy. I’m often reminded of the emperor’s moments in one of the TV shows. He was enraged and yelled at the imperial physician, “Drag this quack doctor out and chop him.”
Zhou Chen said I was too idle.
I said, “Who told you not to accompany me?”
The day after I said this, he walked me through the hospital discharge procedures and drove me back to Sunset Lane.
Fortunately, the bridge had been restored, so I didn’t have to recall about the thrilling tragedy that occurred more than a month ago.
When Xu Xingze came to meet me, he boasted that Zhou Chen had dispatched Qi Shu’s two cousins abroad to oversee the factory in an area where birds don’t even shit. He said that because they were expats with no actual influence, they were essentially exiled.
I questioned if Qi Shu’s grandfather would consent to such a proposal. He said that before the old man could protest, Zhou Chen’s father settled the situation with a light, “It’s okay for young people to go out for more experience,” remark.
I was not familiar with the complicated relationship between the Qi and Zhou families. The elderly man of the Qi family appeared to be terrified of the Zhou family after I heard Xu Xingze’s words.
After all, he had already used dishonest ways to shove his daughter. He was the one in the wrong.
Halfway through the gossip, Xu Xingze walked to the balcony to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he had a flower-like smile on his face and couldn’t suppress his very sunny tangerine pheromone.
I sensed something and asked him playfully whether he had met his favorite Omega.
“No, it’s Wen Yan; he and I spoke about what flowers to use for the exhibition hall’s design.”
“Wen Yan?”
“Yeah, he’s in charge of my solo exhibition.”
I remembered that Senior Wen Yan was studying art curation, but I didn’t expect that the first order he received after he returned was Xu Xingze’s solo art exhibition.
What a small world.
No, Xu Xingze is acting like this. It couldn’t be…
I silently lamented for my dumb, sweet artist roommate. Wen Yan even had the heart to remove the glands in order toavoid discussing love. Xu Xingze was overly daring, choosing the most difficult bone to chew.
Ah, the path is long and rough…
“Why do you look as if you pity humanity?” ‘He looked at me puzzled. “The exhibition opens at the end of the month. You must come.”
I tried to squeeze out a sincere grin for him. “I will definitely come. ”
He was undoubtedly thinking about the phone call just now. “Wen Yan told me before that he and you get along like he’s taking care of children, and in fact, I also feel this way. When we were in school, I always felt like your dad,” he continued, unconscioussly smiling.
Me: ?
I was about to protest when he changed the subject. “Do you think Wen Yan and I look like a match made in heaven?”
…Is this all right?
I couldn’t bear to ruin the fantasy of an innocent little painter who was single since birth and said with a conscience, “I suppose.”
He was really happy. “I knew I did not raise this child in vain.”
….
I was still astonished by this encounter before going to bed, so I didn’t hesitate to tell Zhou Chen about it.
He circled me from behind to blow dry my hair and remarked, “I don’t think it’s surprising.”

“At one point, something goes wrong every time, as if something’s afraid I’ll be too healthy.”
Helpless, he sighed. “At my age, I follow you in anxiety every day, and if I keep doing this, either good or terrible things will frighten me sooner or later.”
I felt guilty. “You can’t blame me…”
“I’m not blaming you.” He blow-dried my hair and stuffed me into the quilt. “Blame me, I found a little ancestor for myself.”
I had no idea if Xu Xingze’s words had too much impact. That night, I had a strange and scary dream.
I dreamed of him and Wen Yan getting married, and I became a flower guy for them when I was 3 and a half years old. After the wedding, Xu Xingze picked me up, walked to Wen Yan and said, “Xiao Yu, call Mom.”
So terrible.
I woke up all of a sudden.
After waking up, I vowed to find an opportunity to tell Wen Yan, “Don’t fall in love; being single is the best.”
I was planning on going downstairs for a drink. When I left the study, I saw that the light was still still on. It was silent everywhere, except for Zhou Chen’s voice, which could be heard clearly through the breach in the door.
“By all means, find them and bring them back.”
“You can hurt them, but you can’t kill.”
His voice was too soft to discern any emotion, but the content of what he said sent a shiver down my spine.
Zhou Chen never locked the door to his study at home, allowing me to enter at any time. He would, however, invariably lock himself in these days.
I got a feeling there was something important he didn’t want me to know. I initially assumed it was a business concern and did not inquire. Today, it appears that it was more complex and risky than I had anticipated.
When I knocked on the door, the voice within abruptly came to a halt.
Zhou Chen opened the door after a few seconds. His look was the same as before, and his voice was soothing. “Why are you up?”
“I… had a nightmare and got scared.” I lowered my eyes and softly grasped his hand. “Sleep with me.”
He hesitated for a while, but still did not refuse, and led me back to the bedroom.
My body warmth was still there on the bed. Zhou Chen helped me cover with a quilt and lay down beside me.
The whole way back, I was trying to figure out how to ask, but I heard him take the initiative to say, “Did you hear that?”
I was concerned he’d be upset with me for eavesdropping. Unsettlingly, I grasped the clothing on his chest and hummed.
“I promised you not to do such a thing, but there is a premise,” he continued after a little silence.
“Wen Ziqing had reached my breaking point, I couldn’t let him go.”
He was talking about Wen Ziqing…
“Where is he now? ”I asked.
“He fled abroad. I’m looking for him.” Zhou Chen reassured me with a pat on the back. “Leave this matter to me, and just treat it as if you don’t know anything, okay?”
An unfathomable bitter taste filled my heart.
“Sir…I am not as charitable as you believe; he almost murdered Qi Shu and injured my hand, I didn’t want him to be any better.
“You don’t have to be so protective of me all the time, and you don’t have to worry about me being scared.”
The night light that Zhou Chen had given me, a bumpy gray planet with the small prince and his rose dwelling on it, sat at the head of the bed.
The rose was so fragile that the little prince covered it with a glass cover.
Zhou Chen’s heavy eyes were like a web, deep and intricate.
“Baobei,” he said, “Qi Shu and I have a similar family and growth environment, and even have similar bloodlines. You should have known that I am not as good as you think.”
“I know.
“I also know that you will never hurt me.
“As long as you don’t hurt yourself, and don’t bring the smell of blood back into our home… nothing else matters.”
With deep reverence, I grasped his face and kissed his lips.
The air around me gradually heated up, and I smelled the richness of the long-lost brandy.
His pheromone was excessively overbearing, as if it were designed for ambiguous evenings.
My body had a humiliating reaction, and my mind was in disarray.
Do betas have heats too…
“Don’t provoke me.” He pressed my restless hand, and his breath became visibly unsteady.
“Why…” Kissing deprived me of oxygen, and my eyes became misty. “My hands are almost healed, and I haven’t had a heart attack recently… Or do you not like me…”
With these words, Zhou Chen abruptly rolled over and pulled me beneath his body, his hands on both sides of the pillow.
I felt a jolt of indescribable resentment.
“I have worked very hard to clean myself up…why don’t you want me-”
The next second, he blocked my words with his lips.
At the end of our long and lingering kiss, the blood all over my body burned, and every inch of my flesh yearned for an intimate contact.
His kiss landed on the side of my neck, then on my collarbone, kissing the scar on my neck.
I had so many scars, big and small, that I was afraid he would see. I wanted to reach out and turn off the light.
He took my hands back and gripped them between his fingers.
“Don’t look…it’s ugly…”
I burst into tears once again, dripping from the corners of my eyes to the tips of my sideburns.
“No, you’re quite handsome.”
He kissed my tears away and murmured in my ear the most passionate love phrases.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
….
I’ve never been so well taken care of in a relationship. My entire body appeared to float in the clouds, as white lights flashed in my head.
So it’s possible to feel this nice…
When Zhou Chen tore the condom open, my consciousness became clear for a brief period. I had to flip over and kneel down, covering my crimson face, since the image in front of me was so erotic.
“Kneeling will press your heart,” he whispered as he flipped me over again.
Clearly, that was a statement of objective fact, yet I detected a hint of evil in it.
He rubbed himself against me there.
“I endure hard everyday, and you keep playing with the fire. Why are you such a bad boy?”
“Who made you endure…”
Before I finished speaking, my body was split open.
“Hnnh…aahh…”
My whole body was as crisp and numb as if it had been electrocuted.
The pain was soon followed by great comfort and satisfaction.
Physically, as well as psychologically.
I neither remember how long this absurd crusade lasted, nor how many sweet and sticky words I spoke. I just remember that at the end, my whole body was weak, my limbs were soft, and my throat was so dry that I couldn’t utter a sound.
I know I brought this on myself. It’s no surprise, Zhou Chen…
I could only blame myself for thinking that he was abstinent, and having recklessly teased him…
Zhou Chen appeared to have overindulged to his heart’s delight.
It’s hard to change the nature of a stinky alpha.
It was almost dawn, and I was so tired and sleepy that I snuggled in his arms and asked him sleepily why he didn’t release it inside.
“Because you will feel uncomfortable. “He hugged me helplessly, “and it’s not good for your health.
“Good things are most beautiful when they are broken. I want to break you, but I’m not willing.”
I didn’t quite catch what he said. Too sleepy.
But that’s okay. If I didn’t hear it, I’ll just take it as “I love you”.

“Good things are most beautiful when they are broken. I want to break you, but I’m not willing.”
HWEHWEHEQ that made my face split into a massive grin. When Zhou Chen says it like that, I can’t help but feel giddy.
