◇ Chapter 52: The conscienceless bastard
Zhou Zheng held on to the door frame tightly with his hands, his eyes fixed on Lu Fangchi, as if he was sure that the other party would not close the door.
On what basis? Lu Fangchi didn't want to get used to this conscienceless bastard anymore, so he raised his hand and slammed the door shut.
The door frame was already within reach, but the alpha didn't even blink, allowing his hand to be pinched. His handsome features became distorted for a moment.
Lu Fangchi's heart was pounding when he saw this, and he realized that Zhou Zhengzhen had no intention of letting go, so he quickly retracted his strength to prevent the door from pinching his fingers.
The confrontation ended in failure. Zhou Zhenghong raised his trapped hand with his eyes wide open and successfully entered Lu Fangchi's home.
Lu Fangchi really didn't want to stay with him for even one more second. But the alpha's hand swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the slender and distinct knuckles swelled up instantly. It must have been painful, and tears welled up in his eyes. He frowned and didn't let a single tear fall out. He held it back and uttered a very hoarse voice: "Let me in, I have something to tell you."
Even though his hand was pinched like this, he did not let go of the door frame at all. He was determined to get in.
No matter how out of control Lu Fangchi's emotions were, he couldn't pinch Zhou Zheng's fingers.
The two men stood face to face at the door for two minutes. Lu Fangchi had no choice but to compromise. He let go of the door handle and took a small step back.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng immediately stepped in, raised his elbow and quickly closed the door.
He stood still at the door, looking at Lu Fangchi meaningfully, without opening his mouth to see what he wanted to say.
Lu Fangchi blinked his sore eyes, feeling his eyelids swollen and painful. He lowered his head and gave up staring at Zhou Zheng. His originally angry mood was like a balloon that was about to burst and suddenly leaked air, and it was quickly suppressed.
He suddenly felt very weak. Lu Fangchi raised his hands and rubbed his face, exhaled, and his voice became calm: "Go to the hospital, I will pay for the medical expenses."
Afraid that Zhou Zheng would not agree, he added: "I can accompany you, it's up to you."
Compared to the out-of-control Lu Fangchi just now, Zhou Zheng felt uneasy for no reason because of his calm and indifferent attitude, which was like a stagnant pool of water. He opened his mouth to say something, but realized that nothing he said would be of any use later. He lowered his eyelids in disappointment, moved his fingers, and whispered, "I'll just rinse with cold water."
Lu Fangchi frowned, his face full of disapproval.
Seeing the expression on Lu Fangchi's face, Zhou Zheng pursed his lips and explained in a low voice: "I know, the bones should not be injured." While speaking, he raised his hand and moved his knuckles.
With this action, Lu Fangchi saw that his swollen hands swelled even bigger, and purple pressure marks appeared on the back of his five knuckles, which looked very scary.
It was he who refused to let go, Lu Fangchi said to himself in his heart.
"Consider it as retribution for pretending to be injured tonight." Zhou Zheng laughed at himself and took the initiative to bring up his despicable behavior in the bar.
Yes, he deserved it. Lu Fangchi's mouth was pursed into a straight line.
Zhou Zheng took off his shoes, walked barefoot across the pool, and walked to the kitchen with ease. He opened the faucet and let the cold water wash over his red and swollen fingers.
Lu Fangchi walked back to the sofa and sat down without looking at Zhou Zheng.
The sound of water gurgling was heard, and soon it became quieter and quieter. Lu Fangchi moved his ears and heard footsteps behind him.
Zhou Zheng walked to the sofa, but before he said anything, his eyes fell on the wall in front of him with a piece of skin broken off, and the cell phone that had fallen to the ground and was broken into pieces.
Zhou Zheng took two steps forward, bent down, picked up the horribly dead phone with the hand that was not swollen, looked at it, put it back on the coffee table, and whispered, "Are you so angry?"
Lu Fangchi ignored him and didn't even look at him.
"I'll compensate you," he added.
Lu Fangchi finally responded and said coldly, "No need."
Zhou Zheng did not refute what he heard, but walked back to the sofa and sat down, then reached out and touched Lu Fangchi's hand.
Lu Fangchi pulled his hand back reflexively, but Alpha predicted his move and used a little strength to hold it tight.
Lu Fangchi stared at him and opened his mouth to say something, but then he saw the alpha pressing a wet towel wrapped in an ice pack against his wrist. He applied it gently and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Fangchi lowered his eyes and looked at the red mark on his wrist. It was a circle of redness and swelling, and it looked quite scary. Maybe he felt it a little at the time, but it didn't hurt much now, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Compared with the wound on Zhou Zheng's hand, it was nothing compared to the wound on his hand. Moreover, he used his swollen hand to apply ice to himself, which was a very funny scene.
Lu Fangchi raised his hand to hit again. This sudden movement pulled Zhou Zheng's wound, and he opened his mouth slightly and took a breath.
Lu Fangchi stopped pulling his hand away.
Zhou Zheng bit his lower lip, then held Lu Fangchi's hand tightly with his injured hand, and applied ice with a serious expression.
What does this mean? Doing whatever you want with your broken hands?
Lu Fangchi frowned and said, "Let go."
Zhou Zheng didn't let go, but said: "I'll give you a cold compress, otherwise it will be very swollen tomorrow."
This was hilarious, and Lu Fangchi sarcastically said, "If you hadn't tied me up, I wouldn't have gotten swollen."
Zhou Zheng paused for a moment, then started applying it again, nodding and admitting his mistake: "Yeah, it was my fault."
...Lu Fangchi was speechless, "Save the energy and use your own hand." After saying this, she raised her wrist slightly, signaling him to let go.
Zhou Zheng turned a deaf ear to it and was determined to give Lu Fangchi the cold treatment to the end.
Lu Fangchi's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, staring at the alpha in front of him. Did he think he couldn't do anything to him?
When Lu Fangchi was about to lose his temper, Zhou Zheng spoke up: "Why are you crying?"
Lu Fangchi:?
Good question, you can end the conversation with just one sentence.
How could Lu Fangchi tell the truth? He just said, "Because I have water in my brain."
Zhou Zheng's train of thought was very interesting. He asked, "Is the water me?" He raised his face while asking, his peach blossom eyes filled with sincerity.
There was hope, struggle, and many other emotions mixed together, and Lu Fangchi couldn't understand it.
Seeing that Lu Fangchi didn't answer, Zhou Zheng asked again: "Is it because of me?"
Maybe, probably, perhaps, yes. But Lu Fangchi would not admit it. When asked about his broken defense, he quickly pulled his wrist away without caring about Zhou Zheng's scarred hand, saying, "Don't be so self-indulgent."
Zhou Zheng's eyes were filled with sadness, and his smile seemed to be heartbroken. "Yeah, I know."
His expression... did he know? In fact, Lu Fangchi didn't need to care about what he was thinking, but just in case something like today happened again, it would be better to make some things clear.
Lu Fangchi sat up straight and swallowed, "Yes, I am..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Zheng interrupted him again. Alpha nodded slightly, as if accepting his fate: "It's okay if you like him."
Lu Fangchi: ...
Who was drinking today? What is Zhou Zheng talking about? Is he doing this on purpose? Does he have to get his schizophrenia through?
But this "he" didn't seem to be referring to the one in front of him. There was a subtle feeling that admitting it was quite impressive. So Lu Fangchi nodded and followed the alpha's logic and said, "Yes, I like him and hate you."
It's actually a mixture of love and hate.
Zhou Zheng nodded and began to apologize: "I didn't mean to do that koi."
"I waited for you in the living room for a long time that day. I saw the koi fish banging against the glass to beg for food, so I wanted to feed it a little. I fed it a little at first, but I waited for you for too long, and I never got to see you, then."
He didn't finish his words, but Lu Fangchi understood. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So you blame me for not coming to see you earlier?"
"No," Zhou Zheng immediately shook his head and denied, "It's just that I wanted to see you, but I didn't see you. I shouldn't have used Liang Shuang to trick you."
Now that you know you are wrong, why did you do it in the first place? Lu Fangchi thought to himself.
Zhou Zheng lowered his eyes and confessed honestly: "You have been ignoring me. I didn't really want Liang Shuang to resign. I just wanted to threaten you with him, thinking that you might talk to me." Unexpectedly, he backfired.
"Am I ignoring you?" Lu Fangchi asked. Sometimes he couldn't quite understand Zhou Zheng's train of thought. Are their ways of thinking really on the same line?
"Well, I ran away first." Zhou Zheng nodded again and started to explain his behavior. "I just wanted you to coax me, but I didn't expect you to completely ignore me. I can only seek a sense of existence."
Lu Fangchi blinked his eyes, feeling that he was about to be confused. Why was Zhou Zheng always able to speak so eloquently and make his words sound favorable to him? His inexplicable behavior was rationalized in his mouth, as if Lu Fangchi was the evil person who ignored his emotions and forced him to that point.
Lu Fangchi suddenly got angry and raised his voice: "I ignored you? Don't you always disappear? You delete me as a friend when we have a disagreement, and I am always the first one to make peace."
"Yes," Zhou Zheng admitted, but, "You ignored me after that time."
Do you mean the time when he looked at me like I was trash? It would be fine if Zhou Zheng didn't apologize, Lu Fangchi couldn't do anything to him, and they could just part ways. Apologizing means sitting down to reason, and you still want to have room to maneuver.
Lu Fangchi couldn't help but retort and reasoned with him, "You ran away without saying a word, and I looked for you, sent you messages, and called you, but you didn't reply. Is that right?"
Zhou Zheng: “Yes.”
"I don't know why. It was you who left without saying goodbye, but I still looked for you. I saw someone post a photo of you in a restaurant, and I ran to find you like an idiot," Lu Fangchi became excited again while talking, and stretched out his finger to poke Zhou Zheng's shoulder, his eyes red. "But you looked at me with that kind of eyes, and you ran away when you remembered. What should I think? I tacitly agreed to break up and not pester you, isn't that enough?"
Zhou Zheng sensed Lu Fangchi's rage, but he still licked his lips and whispered, "But you didn't ask me why I ran away. You didn't ask me."
Fuck you! Who wants to ask you! Who cares why the hell you run away! Lu Fangchi felt dizzy with anger. He nodded vigorously, "Okay, tell me, why did you run away?" He wanted to hear what other excuses he could come up with.
"You said, there's no love..." Zhou Zheng's voice was very low, as if he thought Lu Fangchi would be even angrier to hear this.
He guessed correctly. Lu Fangchi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously asked, "What?"
I have quickly gone over this sentence in my mind. It cannot be called love.
There is no love... There is no love... There is no love...
In the KTV, the lights were dim and the air was filled with smoke. Yu Yao asked, "Do you love me so much?"
Lu Fangchi said: "If there is no love, then..."
Yes, he remembered.
I recalled carefully, but was interrupted by the sound of movement at the door and didn't finish my words.
It was also from that time that Zhou Zheng disappeared.
So he heard it. Lu Fangchi remembered the second half of the sentence he hadn't finished saying, which was that he really liked it.
Having only been together for a few months, Lu Fangchi didn't dare to express his love easily. How would he express it in the long years to come?
And just because of this? Ridiculous misunderstanding. Lu Fangchi raised his hands to cover his eyes, then laughed out loud in anger.
Then he let go, his eyes bloodshot, and cursed: "You always say I don't ask you, have you ever fucking asked me?" Lu Fangchi subconsciously reached out to look for his phone and saw the unsightly fragments of the phone on the coffee table.
He opened the drawer under the coffee table, found the card slot, pulled out the cell phone card, and raised his hand towards Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng naturally took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Lu Fangchi. He saw him quickly insert the SIM card into his own phone and turn the airplane mode on and off.
Countless text messages came pouring in. Lu Fangchi swiped the screen twice and placed his phone on the coffee table in front of Zhou Zheng.
Let Alpha see the content of the text message clearly——[Government SMS Platform] You have successfully made an appointment for marriage registration service, the service number is A010203045, please register on x month x day, 20xx...
