tribulation
Xu Wang didn't go home. He sat slumped beside his bed, staring blankly at the floor from day to night, as if he had lost his mind. He clutched the box of Lego and the letter tightly, the moonlight reflecting off his tears in the darkness. His almond-shaped eyes were already swollen from crying, unable to shed any more tears.
He didn't sleep the whole night. He curled up against the bed, and the scent of Xia Fan was so obvious in his nose.
Dawn came quickly, and at this moment there was no light in Xu Wang's eyes. At one moment he felt that he was dying, until a phone call came telling him that Zou Yu had woken up.
Wei Mingjue sent someone from City S to pick him up. When the driver saw him at Xia Fan's house, he seemed surprised, but said nothing and drove silently. He never let go of the gift Xia Fan had left for him.
Outside the ward, he deliberately adjusted his expression, trying to look cheerful and energetic, but his face was pale from a sleepless night, and his erratic steps almost made his friend unable to get up from the bed to support him. A Lego fell to the ground, and he immediately squatted to pick it up, only to drop the letter again.
He knew it was wrong to behave like this in front of his friends, but he couldn't help it.
"I'm sorry." Zou Yuqing's eyes turned red as he lay in bed, watching his friend in this state. He was happy to see Xu Wang come in, but when he thought of Xia Fan and saw his name on the letter, he felt like a sinner.
"Why apologize? It's not your fault." Xu Wang hugged the gift again and sat on a chair beside him. He forced a smile, but the corners of his mouth still trembled uncontrollably. "This is a gift Xia Fan gave me. I want to show it off." He smiled, and as he smiled, his tear glands, which had dried up for a long time, seemed to be out of control again.
"He even wrote me a letter. To be honest, I hardly ever received any. He even confessed his feelings for me in the letter. He said he liked me, which made me feel really embarrassed." As he spoke, Xu Wang lowered his head and wiped away his tears, sobbing. "I'm sorry, Yu Qing, shouldn't I have boasted about this to you? Please don't take it to heart. I just wanted to talk to someone."
Tears flowed over the wound again. Zou Yuqing gritted his teeth and sniffed, "If it wasn't for protecting me, Xia Fan wouldn't... He told me that he liked you very much. I asked him to tell you in person, but..." Even though Wei Mingjue and Xu Wang didn't blame him, he couldn't get over it.
"Don't cry, it hurts so much." Xu Wang heard his friend gasp. He finally let go of the gift, took a few tissues, stood up, and gently wiped his friend's tears. "I've always known that he's working for Wei Mingjue. Oftentimes, I've made it difficult for Xia Fan to handle it when I'm caught between them... Yu Qing, I'm really happy that you're alive. Xia Fan must feel that everything he did was worth it, so don't apologize anymore."
After hearing this, Zou Yuqing raised his hands with difficulty, and the two of them hugged each other and burst into tears. Even though the stinging pain of the wound seemed to pierce through the heart, how could the pain in the heart not be vented?
After crying for a while, the two of them felt a little better. Xu Wang moved Zou Yuqing's bed a little higher and continued, "I really didn't expect Jiang Lu to do such a thing. He even deliberately came to you to get revenge on Wei Mingjue." Because of this Omega, the person he loved most has not been found. Hatred appeared in Xu Wang's eyes at the thought.
Zou Yuqing hadn't expected that when Jiang Lu was mentioned, he didn't know what to say. When Xia Fan told him the truth, he was shocked, bewildered, and angry.
"The key is that their organization seems to be very large. Although I don't understand it, I heard them talking before you woke up. It seems that Wei Mingjue has been under a lot of pressure recently." Xu Wang glanced at Zou Yuqing and said, "Shuangming is still in crisis. He won't return to S City. It will collapse soon. Yuqing, I have figured it out now. If you still like Wei Mingjue, then give it a try. In fact, I felt that he had changed before, but he brought too many shadows to you in the past. As your friend, I really hate him, but now I will support you."
Apart from "thank you", Zou Yuqing didn't say anything else. Xu Wang was arranged by Wei Mingjue to stay in a hotel not far from the hospital. After seeing Wei Mingjue coming in the evening, Xu Wang nodded to the Alpha and returned to the hotel to rest.
"Are you feeling better?" After Xu Wang left, Wei Mingjue sat down. After nearly five hours of salvaging at sea, the harsh environment and the constant exposure to seawater had completely changed his entire being.
His hair had grown longer, his beard more noticeable, his complexion was pale, his hands were peeling and wrinkled. This Alpha, who had once ignored others, now looked ten years older, looking at him worriedly. His slightly long hair was clearly messy, having been deliberately combed and brushed before entering the room.
Seeing Zou Yuqing staring at him without saying anything, Wei Mingjue smiled awkwardly, "I've asked the doctor, and you'll be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days. But the steel plate on your right leg hasn't been removed yet, so you'll need to use crutches. I'll support you, and if you mind, I'll have your friend come over to keep you company."
While talking, Wei Mingjue's phone was still vibrating. Combined with what Xu Wang said just now, Zou Yuqing knew that the Alpha in front of him who was forcing a smile was really in a huge crisis. But even so, Wei Mingjue still came to see him every day and pretended that nothing was wrong.
How could Wei Mingjue be like this before? He was always tough, never giving people a choice, and was completely overbearing. But what about now? Perhaps it was because so much had happened recently, but he had become so cautious.
No, it wasn’t that Wei Mingjue became cautious, but that this Alpha became restrained in front of him.
Thinking about it, Zou Yuqing shook his head. He wanted to say, "No need to let Xu Wang come over," but Wei Mingjue misunderstood it as meaning that he was not needed to accompany him.
"I understand. I'll have someone tell your friend." After saying that, Wei Mingjue smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to stand up and go outside the ward to answer the call, he felt his hand being gently pulled.
Besides being surprised, a feeling of joy and excitement surged up in him. Wei Mingjue turned his head in disbelief and his eyes met Zou Yuqing's.
"No need, just you accompany...just help me." After saying that, Zou Yuqing felt a little awkward, let go of Wei Mingjue's hand, and looked away.
Wei Mingjue immediately held Zou Yuqing's hand and was glared at by the Alpha on the hospital bed. This glare made his eyes moist again. He hadn't seen Zou Yuqing look like this for a long time.
"Okay! I'll stay with you. I'll make some phone calls first to deal with some things. Wait for me." As he said that, Wei Mingjue reluctantly let go of Master Xin's hand and made several phone calls outside the ward.
Zou Yuqing pursed his lips, feeling his heartbeat inexplicably quicken. He heard Wei Mingjue's serious voice outside the ward. It seemed that many news media outlets in S City had gone to Shuangming to interview him, and there were also contacts from the K City police who wanted to cooperate in finding evidence behind the black market.
One could hear the fatigue in Wei Mingjue's voice; this majestic Alpha was experiencing the hardships that were pouring down on him at the same time.
