At a certain moment
Zou Yuqing didn't know how he walked back home after getting off the bus. Perhaps it was all thanks to Liang Shu's support that he was able to enter the house smoothly in a dazed state.
When he went upstairs, his neighbor was coming down. The moment he saw him, his eyes widened in surprise and he looked him up and down. Thinking about it now, he looked like a piece of rotten stuff that had just been sent back by the sponsor's assistant, with a rotten smell all over his body.
What would they think of him? They would definitely think he was an Alpha without dignity who chose to be kept because his family was poor. In a few days, all kinds of speculation would spread throughout the community.
But who could have imagined that at the beginning he was forced into that circle, and in the end he, as the prey, touched the hunter's already broken heart.
His eyes burned, and for the first time, tears began to fall uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. It took only ten seconds for him to go from silent tears to choking and sobbing. He wondered how deep the sorrow of a person must be before they were completely broken. He felt himself being dismembered from the inside out, becoming a puppet.
Xu Wang thought that he had gone to Zou Yuqing's house late on a weekday. When he entered, Zou Yuqing had calmed down, but his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and his face was haggard. Coupled with the kiss marks on his neck and the bite marks on his glands, Xu Wang knew what had happened at a glance. His eyes immediately turned red and he went forward to hug Zou Yuqing, who looked lifeless.
It was the first time that he was hugged and comforted by his Beta friend. It was so warm, so warm that it made him collapse again.
"It's okay, it's okay." The person in his arms was suppressing his trembling. Xu Wang patted Zou Yuqing's back and said, "Cry it out. It will make you feel better. Don't you want to cry in front of me, a Beta?" He was half joking, wanting to make Zou Yuqing feel better.
He felt Zou Yuqing gently shake his head, and then slowly burst into painful and suppressed tears, helpless and pitiful.
What on earth had happened to make this previously tough Alpha so heartbroken? It was obvious that it was Wei Mingjue—the scumbag Alpha who loved to toy with people in his hands.
Xu Wang frowned. He had never had a favorable impression of the Wei family from the beginning, especially after learning about the terrible things Wei Mingjue had done to his friend. He loathed the Alpha even more. But since Zou Yuqing said she liked Wei Mingjue, he had no choice but to slowly understand. But Zou Yuqing was getting deeper and deeper into the relationship, becoming less and less like "Zou Yuqing."
"I'm sorry..." Zou Yuqing cried and apologized, perhaps apologizing for soaking his friend's clothes with his tears, or perhaps apologizing to himself. He was living the life he hated most, exactly like Xu Jie.
"It's not your fault, why apologize?" Xu Wang leaned his face against Zou Yuqing's head. He could see the hideous teeth marks when he lowered his eyes. His friend's delicate glands were oozing blood, and it looked painful. But he pursed his lips and lowered his head in a subtle manner, trying to smell the pheromones, but he couldn't.
He's a Beta and can never smell what he wants to smell.
Wasn't it his fault? Zou Yuqing thought, if he hadn't gone to Shuangming Pharmaceutical for internship, if he hadn't had so many things happen with Wei Mingjue, if he hadn't solved all those messes for Zou Yuyang out of his own guilt...
But without the if, he would have been doomed long ago.
"Xu Wang, I'm ridiculous, aren't I?" Zou Yuqing said softly, his emotions slowly calming down. He raised his head and turned his head to the side, "I clearly hate him so much and I clearly don't want anything to do with him."
"Why is it ridiculous?" Xu Wang held Zou Yuqing's shoulders, looking very serious. "To be honest, I really don't know what's so worthy of your love for him, but feelings are hard to explain, right? Besides, you are the protagonist of this relationship. Others may never understand, but you know in your heart that from that moment on, your heartbeat began to be disrupted by him."
Which moment… Zou Yuqing lowered his head in thought. Was it the moment when Wei Mingjue came to this cramped apartment every day just to make his presence felt? Was it the moment when she agreed to go to the night market with him to eat barbecue, even though the outcome wasn't so good? Or was it the moment when she saw how much he cared about his mother and felt that he was special too?
It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that he has been glorifying this relationship. He was deceiving himself and was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that Wei Mingjue had any feelings for him, so he was used and then abandoned like now.
"Thank you, Xu Wang." Zou Yuqing suddenly came to his senses and raised his head. "I don't want to like him anymore."
He wanted to be the original Zou Yuqing again. Even if life was hard, he would not be bound by abnormal emotions and live in the sunshine.
"Really? I'm glad you've realized this." Xu Wang raised his eyebrows. "Our Yu Qing is so outstanding, she's definitely not short of love!"
Zou Yuqing showed a helpless smile, "No one loves me."
"Of course! You don't know, a lot of people in the school want your contact information. School is about to start and there will be new students. By then, wow, the line will definitely stretch all the way to my store!" Seeing that Zou Yuqing's expression had improved a lot, Xu Wang started to joke.
"You're just exaggerating. Do you want some water? There's water in the refrigerator, you can get it yourself." Zou Yuqing said, shaking his head.
Xu Wang quickly stood up and brought over two bottles of water, one for Zou Yuqing. He took a sip and glanced at the ointment on the table. "Do you want me to help you apply the ointment? It's hard to reach it yourself."
"without……"
"Do whatever you want while I'm here. I can't come to help you apply it every day!" Knowing that Zou Yuqing wanted to refuse, Xu Wang immediately followed up.
Zou Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Then help me."
Picking up the ointment and cotton swab, Xu Wang approached the Alpha's gland. As far as his eyes could see, there were kiss marks of varying depths mixed with teeth marks, which showed how wild he was when he attacked.
"What a beast." In contrast to the gentle touch of his hands, Xu Wang cursed and cursed, and the more he spoke, the more vulgar he became. "Beasts don't like love. The farther away, the better."
"Yes, I agree." Zou Yuqing also nodded cooperatively.
He wanted to share the progress with Summer with Zou Yuqing, but the current situation was not appropriate, so Xu Wang did not say it.
Summer… Xu Wang suddenly remembered the Alpha who had been by his side not long ago. He was also so aloof, his complexion a bit fairer than Zou Yuqing's, and seemed even more aloof. But his smile was very gentle, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye looked extremely sexy next to his slightly narrowed eyes, which made him stunned.
