betrayal anger
Being abroad made Li Xuan feel much more relaxed, and his childhood friends all tacitly agreed not to mention things happening back home.
Li Xuan also deliberately avoided thinking about the troubles in China, the harasser, love, and Fang Huai.
Before boarding the plane, Ms. Qiao held her handsome and elegant husband's arm and reluctantly told Li Xuan, "Mom and Dad will always stand behind you. If you're not happy in China, just come home."
The dark circles under Li Xuan's eyes distressed her as a mother. Her son was reluctant to tell her what had happened in China. It was not until Li Xuan arrived in the United States that they learned their beloved son had returned home.
Qiao Manning raised her hand and touched Li Xuan's head with a distressed look. Li Xuan also lowered her head in agreement. Yingjun's face was slightly tired. "I know, Mom."
"Dad, take good care of mom. I'll come see you guys later."
This time he didn't refuse. Qiao Manning looked at Li Xuan nervously. Li Xiaonian hugged his wife, his usually serious face showing relief. He patted his son and said, "Well, take good care of yourself."
"Mom and I will always be your strong support."
Li Xuan nodded, "Mom and Dad, it's almost time, I'm leaving first."
After saying goodbye to his parents, Li Xuan boarded the plane back home.
As soon as he got off the plane, he inserted his domestic phone card and took a taxi directly to the university where he worked.
Entering the laboratory, he saw that he had returned and patted Li Xuan's shoulder, saying, "You're back."
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm back."
"Professor Li, you..." The colleague hesitated to speak. Li Xuan turned around, and he decisively shut his mouth and said angrily, "Nothing."
Li Xuan didn't think much about it and continued to deal with the work at hand. He went abroad not only to accompany his parents, but also to participate in foreign exchange seminars, which would be very helpful for their experiments.
He rushed to the laboratory without stopping and started doing research. He did not leave the laboratory until the evening when his colleague invited him to dinner.
The professors were chatting while eating. One of them, who was known for his directness, pulled out his phone, flipped to the news feed, and asked curiously, "Professor Li, I remember you have a friend who works in this hospital?"
Several professors also looked at Li Xuan. Li Xuan turned sideways to look. Before he could clear the news on his phone, he heard a colleague say, "There's a big commotion in their hospital."
"Professor Li may not be paying attention abroad."
He quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for Nanshi First People's Hospital in the search box, and a piece of news immediately jumped into his eyes.
[Shock! A serious medical dispute has occurred at Nanshi First People's Hospital!] His eyes quickly scanned the densely packed text before focusing on the illustration: a group of people gathered together, with the three protagonists in the center slumped on the ground, covered in blood.
Although the photo was blurred, Li Xuan immediately recognized the people in the photo. They were Fang Huai and Kong Lingyu. Fang Huai was kneeling on one knee on the ground, calmly helping the man lying on the ground to stop bleeding. The little girl next to him was holding the man's hand obediently, as if to comfort Kong Lingyu.
Li Xuan's fingertips felt cold. Seeing that he looked unwell, his colleagues asked worriedly, "Professor Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xuan put away his phone, forced a smile and said, "It's okay."
"That guy's wound is pretty serious. It's on his waist. If it was a little deeper, I guess..." They looked at the photo and muttered, "I heard he was stabbed to save the doctor and the girl in the photo."
"What are you two discussing?"
A bespectacled professor adjusted his glasses and said, "The medical dispute in the news. I've been so busy with research lately that I haven't had time to pay attention to social news. I actually missed such a big thing."
He pointed to the little girl in the photo and the man lying in the corner and said, "My girlfriend also works in this hospital. They know more."
"This little girl is the one who survived three fires in the news. Her father is the man who stabbed her. He wanted to take the girl away to donate to society, but before leaving, he tried to blackmail her and threw her out of the window. It was the sixth floor. If she had fallen, the consequences would have been disastrous."
The young professor took a sip of water and, seeing everyone around him staring at him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Luckily, Dr. Fang and his friend reacted quickly. Dr. Fang grabbed the girl, and his friend kicked the girl's father away, preventing a tragedy."
"Otherwise, the floor is so high and the child is so weak, even if there is an airbag cushion underneath, a fall could result in serious fractures."
Everyone immediately pulled out their phones and searched for relevant news. In the days after the news broke, they'd been too busy with work to skim through it, only understanding the general outlines and circumstances. But they hadn't grasped the complexities involved. After the young professor's explanation, their curiosity was piqued.
Especially since so many people were involved! Everyone likes to read gossip, and they are no exception.
After reading it in detail, I sighed: "This kind of person is actually worthy of being a father."
"There's no cure."
As they were heatedly discussing the girl's scumbag father, Li Xuan sat quietly watching. He looked at the professor at the hospital where his girlfriend worked, staring at him until his heart was numb. He asked, "What happened next?"
The young professor wiped his sweat. He did not expect that Professor Li, who usually did not pay attention to external affairs, would be interested in this matter.
"The girl was rescued, and Dr. Fang's hand was injured. However, the girl's father was too angry. Seeing that there was no turning back, he threw a knife at Dr. Fang. Dr. Fang's friend tried to protect them and was stabbed himself."
After saying that, the young professor pointed at the pale man lying on the ground.
"People nowadays are too violent." He sighed, shaking his head.
"Professor Li, do you know them?" the young professor asked curiously after finishing his words with an unsatisfied look.
"Um."
Li Xuan had no intention of continuing the conversation. Seeing that he looked unhappy, his colleagues decided to stop while they were ahead.
"I'm done eating. You guys take your time. I'm leaving first." Li Xuan left the restaurant and quickly returned to his office.
He took out his old cell phone from the drawer of his desk. After turning it on, the phone kept sending harassing text messages. Li Xuan impatiently opened those annoying text messages and dialed the number that he knew by heart.
But at the same time, the new phone also sent out harassing text messages. Li Xuan blocked the harassing text messages in annoyance. Just after returning to China, his new number was leaked again.
But blocking is useless. Different numbers quickly send harassing text messages, and the content of the text messages is full of malicious and obscene words.
Fang Huai was slow to answer the phone. Li Xuan was on the phone while checking the text messages. His handsome brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.
The harasser he couldn't find any information about knew a lot about his life and work, and his almost crazy curses were frightening.
Professor Li, don't think I won't be able to find you just because you've gone abroad.
If I'm not having a good time, don't even think you'll be able to! Just wait, I'll retaliate against you furiously. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point. Li Xuan, I hate you. I'll make you regret it. My pain, my misery, are all because of you. It's all because of you...it's all because of you. You deserve to be like me, living forever in a dark, damp, ever-stinking ditch, eating rotten fruit, drinking stinking sour water, like a rat in a stinking ditch.
The other party seemed to have gone crazy, and the words gradually became incoherent and chaotic.
[I will definitely bring ruin to your reputation and infamy, Li Xuan, you will go to hell.] [Li Xuan, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you... I hate you, you will, you will, you will... You will definitely go to hell!]
Li Xuan deleted the harassing text messages as usual. His eyes stayed on the second message for a moment, and he deleted it randomly without thinking. He smiled disdainfully.
He won't.
Seeing that Fang Huai didn't answer the phone, Li Xuan hung up directly and sat at the desk with his hands on his shoulders. The pervert knew him so well and also knew his current situation, so he must be someone he knew.
And only a few people knew his new number. His parents and friends were all abroad, so they wouldn't easily reveal his information. His eyes darkened, and his usually gentle and deep eyes became deeper. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to ask those students.
After a while, Li Xuan tried to use the new number and dialed Fang Huai's number again. The ringtone rang three times and the person on the other end answered the call.
He seemed to hear a sneer. The other party didn't say anything, and Li Xuan didn't say anything either. The two of them just remained in a stalemate.
But not long after, a frivolous and impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello? Speak."
Kong Lingyu was lying on the hospital bed. Fang Huai had just gone out, but his cell phone kept ringing. Seeing that Fang Huai had not come yet, Kong Lingyu tapped his cell phone and carefully picked up the phone to answer the call.
"Hello, who are you?" Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Kong Lingyu asked again.
Beep beep beep.
The call was hung up. Kong Lingyu looked at it in confusion, then put the phone back in its place with a guilty conscience. Could it be a wrong call? Kong Lingyu thought to himself: I'll talk to Maimai when he comes back later.
Li Xuan hung up the phone. His facial lines were tense, anger was condensed between his brows, and veins bulged on his forehead. He tried hard to suppress his anger, but jealousy and anger still made him lose his composure. The phone fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The shattered screen reflected Li Xuan's hideous face due to anger.
He stared at himself on the screen, and suddenly realized something.
His heart ached, he clutched his chest and murmured, "Why? Why him?"
He recalled the day when they confirmed their relationship. The young Fang Huai, who had just started working, stood awkwardly in front of him, his handsome face flushed with embarrassment.
Fang Huai faced his confession with a serious expression. He slowly took the bouquet from Li Xuan's hand. A blush crept up his cheeks as everyone cheered him on. He clumsily promised, "Li Xuan, I will always treat you well."
"I will work hard to become as strong as you, and protect you like you protect me." Fang Huai's promise was clumsy but sincere.
The Yunnan cherry blossoms were in full bloom at that time, and Li Xuan couldn't tell whether the flowers were beautiful or the person in front of him was beautiful.
But why has everything changed?
Li Xuan's grip gradually tightened, his eyes bloodshot, "This is how you treat me well, isn't it?"
