He can endure
After a sleepless night and having to start work at 8 a.m., Zou Yuqing simply got out of bed and tremblingly opened the closet door. Inside the door, a tiny mirror, also shattered, reflected his red eyes and pale lips. Sweat trickled down his forehead. Perhaps from the rough treatment and the all-nighter, he looked extremely unwell.
The suppression patch he had put on last night was stained with blood. He tore it open gently. The gland bitten by Wei Mingjue was in great pain. The wound was bleeding and swollen. The discomfort coming from behind made him grit his teeth and tremble slightly.
After putting on a new suppression patch, Zou Yuqing walked out of the room. His mother was already sitting on the sofa in a daze, just like she was yesterday afternoon. Half of the blanket had slipped off, and the other half was still draped over her thin shoulders. She looked helpless and forlorn.
"Mom, I'm going to work. Wait for me to come back for lunch at noon." After saying that, Zou Yuqing folded the blanket for his mother, turned on the fan, and walked out the door.
The July morning sun was already bright, and even though it was daylight, Zou Yuqing felt as if everything around him was pitch black, just like his heart. Last night was like a nightmare, his world collapsing once again. He had no time to react, and in a trance, it felt as if nothing had happened. But the marks and pain on his body kept reminding him that all this was real.
"Hey, Xiao Zou, what happened? Didn't you sleep well last night?" As soon as I stepped into the supermarket, the store manager came over and naturally noticed the blood-stained suppression patch. "What's going on here? Why are you bleeding?"
Zou Yuqing shrank back and covered the gland with his hand as if to hide it, forcing a smile, "It's okay, I accidentally bumped into it last night."
"This place is so fragile, even if you're an Alpha you have to protect it well." The store manager believed it, but then turned around and said softly to the cashier, "His mother must have had another attack and hurt Xiao Zou. This child is really unfortunate."
He pursed his lips in silence, then walked into the locker room, changed into his work clothes, and began to sort out the goods he hadn't finished sorting yesterday afternoon. The pain from the torn area on his back was too obvious, and his head was groggy. Zou Yuqing's breathing became heavy, but he gritted his teeth and held it in. He was an Alpha; he could endure it.
He had already taken such a long leave yesterday, and he didn't want to take another leave today. Since the summer vacation, there have been more and more students in the supermarket, and he hasn't finished displaying the goods that the store manager has bought in two days. He couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.
Although the store managers and aunties in the supermarket like to talk about his family's affairs, it has to be admitted that they also feel pity and sympathy for him. Sometimes they will give him a discount or free gifts on things in the supermarket that are about to expire and need to be disposed of, which also saves him a lot of expenses.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Zou, I didn't add my niece on WeChat yesterday. Can you add her now?" The store manager thought of this again, but seeing that Zou Yuqing looked a little embarrassed, he smiled and waved his hand, "If you don't want to, forget it. It's a pity. My niece is really beautiful."
"It's not that I don't want to, Aunt Zhang, I really don't want to delay her, and she is your niece." Zou Yuqing smiled apologetically, and then continued to pack the goods.
His family situation was so bad, and what happened yesterday, what qualifications did he have to be with an Omega? He had never thought that he would be able to successfully marry an Omega who was a good match for him and have children in the future, and now it was even more impossible.
He is obviously an Alpha, but he lives such a sad life. Zou Yuqing laughed at himself and thought of using busyness to numb his heart.
He toiled away like a machine, the scene before his eyes blurring and the world spinning. Sweat poured down his face, but he bit his lip as he carried the crates one by one into the warehouse, then rearranged them neatly. Before he knew it, a vibrant red crept across his pale lips.
As soon as Wei Mingjue walked into the supermarket, he saw Zou Yuqing squatting in the daily necessities area sorting toilet paper. The Alpha's arms looked very strong. When he pressed them last night, he did feel the power that only Alphas had. At this moment, the man was trembling slightly, which was not noticeable unless you looked closely. He was enduring very well.
If you get closer, you can see that this Alpha's face is pale and his lips are bleeding. Although the supermarket has air conditioning, his back is soaked with sweat. Although the air conditioning is not strong enough, the amount of sweating is obviously abnormal.
"Zou Yuqing, you..." As Wei Mingjue walked to Zou Yuqing, Zou Yuqing fell straight down and leaned against his legs.
He wanted to have a good chat with Zou Yuqing, but the situation in front of him made him raise his eyebrows. He bent down and carried the panting and weak Alpha on his back.
"Oh, oh, what's wrong with Xiao Zou? Why is he doing so much work when he is sick? Are you Xiao Zou's friend? Take Xiao Zou home quickly to take medicine and have a rest!" The store manager was also shocked. This was the first time she saw Zou Yuqing so sick.
Wei Mingjue nodded and silently carried Zou Yuqing into the car. Judging from Zou Yuqing's expression, it must have been caused by his behavior last night, but Wei Mingjue did not apologize at all. He just turned his head and looked at Zou Yuqing in the passenger seat and smiled.
It was impossible to send Zou Yuqing back to the Weimin Community, so Wei Mingjue started the car and drove towards the company in a good mood. Amid the shocked and gossipy eyes of the employees, he carried him horizontally into the lounge of the top-floor office, which was also where he often stayed when working overtime.
"It hurts so bad..." Zou Yuqing twisted in pain as soon as he touched the bed. His head ached terribly, and not just his head, but every part of his body ached. It was a pain few Alphas could experience, and no Alpha wanted to.
Zou Yuqing tried hard to open his eyes, but felt a cool but soft touch on his lips, and then water flowed into his mouth. His mouth was almost dry, but at that moment he struggled to absorb the sweetness and finally survived.
Wei Mingjue looked at the chapped lips of the person on the bed and wanted to give him some water, but Zou Yuqing was too unconscious to drink properly, so he had to resort to this method. He had done this to his former lovers, as a form of pleasure, but now he was doing it to take care of the Alpha in front of him.
At this moment, this Alpha who should have hated him was very proactive and even took the lead, holding his neck and refusing to let go, which made him suddenly recall the madness of last night.
"Ha, do you know who I am?" Wei Mingjue looked at Zou Yuqing under him with amusement. Zou Yuqing's pale face had faded, and instead a hint of redness appeared on her face. She looked like a hard-core Alpha, but Wei Mingjue's eyes turned red, and he even swallowed his saliva, "Damn it."
Wei Mingjue cursed inwardly, walked out of the lounge, and called his family doctor. After hanging up, he looked down and scratched his hair in annoyance. This Alpha was exactly what he wanted. One more look at him and he'd be tempted to pin him down. But he couldn't do that right now; he was seriously ill.
A few seconds later, there was a knock on the office door, and after getting his permission, Xia Fan walked in.
"Mr. Wei, I found out the content of the conversation between your brother and Zou Yuyang last night. It seems that your brother wants to marry Zou Yuyang and also plans to have the child." Xia Fan said calmly what made Wei Mingjue furious. After that, he stood there respectfully waiting for instructions.
"Wei Mingyu wants to marry Zou Yuyang?" Wei Mingjue's mouth twitched, his eyes dark. "Where is Zou Yuyang now? Take him..."
Before he could finish his words, a soft whimper was heard again in the lounge. Wei Mingjue stood up and walked into the lounge. Seeing Zou Yuqing's painful expression, the man's mouth was slightly open, and he didn't know what he was saying. He frowned and lowered his head to Zou Yuqing's mouth, finally hearing what the Alpha was mumbling.
"Aunt Zhang, I have to go home and cook for my mother..." Zou Yuqing said, and let out that muffled groan like a little animal again.
Even in this state, she still wanted to go home and cook. Wei Mingjue whispered "I know," then walked out of the lounge. Under Xia Fan's puzzled and surprised eyes, he said, "First, buy some food and send it to Weimin Community for Xu Jie to eat, and then bring Zou Yuyang here in the evening. Don't let Wei Mingyu know."
Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door. It was the family doctor he had just called.
"Go to the room and check on him." Wei Mingjue arranged it. He turned around and saw Xia Fan still standing there in a daze. He frowned and said, "Xia Fan, aren't you going yet?"
Xia Fan pursed his lips, glanced towards the lounge room before leaving, and finally nodded and said, "Let's go now."
