Viper Nightmare
He subconsciously wanted to pick Li Xuan out, but it wasn't quite appropriate to pick him out, it was just... he didn't want them to miss Li Xuan so much.
Li Xuan taught Fang Huai many things, lent him money for his studies, and introduced his friends to him. Li Xuan's friends were all elites in their respective fields, with prominent family backgrounds, outstanding abilities, and mature vision.
In their eyes, Fang Huai wasn't worth investing in, especially after Li Xuan announced that Fang Huai was his lover. They expected a mature and accomplished man like Li Xuan to find a lover of similar age, family background, and a graceful, gentle demeanor. Clearly, Fang Huai met none of these criteria.
Because there are too many uncontrollable factors about Fang Huai, he appears to be gentle and without any sharpness, but after getting to know him, you will find that there is a thin layer of ice covering him.
Fang Huai has an impressive resume. He was admitted to the top medical university in the country with a score among the top three in the province. During his undergraduate and master's studies, he collaborated with the team to publish several papers, and also published papers as the first author, which were published in international journals... After completing his studies, he started working and continued to follow in Li Xuan's footsteps. After several years, he reached his current position and became the youngest attending physician in the department.
But in the eyes of Li Xuan's friends, Fang Huai is always inferior to Li Xuan, perhaps because their relationship was unequal from the beginning.
In front of Li Xuan, Fang Huai is still a lover who cannot stand on his own.
The atmosphere became weird. The two of them faced each other silently, looking at each other without saying a word. It seemed that Fang Huai was too deliberate in wanting to exclude Li Xuan.
Fang Huai realized that his attitude was too harsh. He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but nothing came out. Finally, his eyes fell on the water glass in front of him, he drank the water, and hurriedly said, "Go to bed early, good night."
The smell of tobacco on Kong Lingyu's body had dissipated, but the root of his tongue was bitter. "Auntie and the others will be back the day after tomorrow."
The figure stopped, still without looking back.
He stood up straight, staring at the figure stubbornly, the veins on his arms taut as he said word by word, "Is it okay if I leave that day?"
There was a hint of pleading and expectation in his tone. Fang Huai moved and continued to walk forward, saying in a low voice, "Okay."
The door was closed, and Kong Lingyu finally said to the air: "Good night."

The cell phone kept popping up the latest news. Kong Lingyu lay in front of the window, looking at his hands with a distracted expression, while playing with a mint candy jar with the other hand.
All those messages were urging him to return to the company.
T: [When will you be back?!]
[That old guy is restless again. You'll have to deal with him on your own.]
[There are so many things going on at the company, you can't leave them all to me, come back soon.]
Kong Lingyu glanced at the news that kept refreshing on the screen, his eyes fixed on the "old thing", and his slender fingers with thin calluses tapped on the screen quickly.
【the day after tomorrow. 】
[Wait until I come back and kill him.] The mint candy in his mouth was crushed, Kong Lingyu's eyes were cold and fierce, and the other party was silent for a while.
T: [It’s up to you.]
"This is a deadline, our project is moving forward, and I don't want anything to go wrong here."
Kong Lingyu launched the chat interface and swiped through the photo album with his fingertips. The number of photos was staggering, but there was only one protagonist. Tracing that fair and attractive face across the screen, Kong Lingyu lowered his eyes and murmured, "I guess I can't wait that long."
He tapped the owner of the photo between their eyebrows with a gentle touch, chuckling, "I don't want to be a dispensable friend forever."
The uncontrollable jealousy and hatred turned into substance, becoming dark and sticky, clinging to the heart and constantly corroding the already limited rationality.

Fang Huai suddenly felt very tired, but he didn't know why he felt tired.
Is it because of the conflict between himself and Li Xuan, or because of Kong Lingyu?
Fang Huai wrapped himself in a quilt, turned over and lay on his side, staring at his phone in a daze. Everything was developing in an uncontrollable direction. He stood in the center of the vortex, vaguely feeling that an inexplicable force was pulling him down, sinking, and falling.
He raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, and his hand accidentally touched the phone screen and clicked on a help post.
It was a help post from a new mother. The photo was blurry, but it was clear that it was a baby of about six months old. There were many small red bumps on the originally fair and tender arms. If you looked closely, you could see that some of the small bumps had broken, looking particularly hideous on the tender skin.
There are also many people in the comment section, offering various suggestions. Some say it is eczema, and some suggest that parents take their children to the hospital for a check-up, but the poster has not responded.
Fang Huai sat up abruptly and carefully examined the blurry photo. His professional knowledge told him that these small bumps couldn't be simple eczema, but because the photo was so blurry, he couldn't be sure it was some other disease.
I had to send a private message to the poster asking if he could provide a clear photo.
But after a few hours, the poster had not read the message and did not reply. Before going to bed, I still left a message suggesting that the parent take the child to the hospital for a checkup, saying that this kind of problem should not be ignored.
The other party also read the message but did not reply. Fang Huai sighed helplessly, put the phone aside, and fell asleep with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Fang Huai was wandering in a white space. He was anxiously looking for Li Xuan and his family, but no one responded.
The sound of his call hit the limit of space and bounced back, echoing continuously. He didn't know how much time had passed. Just when he was about to despair, he saw a familiar figure not far away. It was Kong Lingyu.
Opposite Kong Lingyu was Li Xuan. They were fighting with each other and beating each other fiercely.
Fang Huai quickly ran over to stop them, stretching out his hands to separate the two. He noticed Li Xuan's face was scratched, and drops of blood splattered onto the white floor. Fang Huai's hands couldn't help but catch the dripping blood. The blood splattered on his fingertips and condensed on his fair skin, appearing eerie and alluring.
The sticky blood stains had not dried yet. Fang Huai reached out and touched Li Xuan's bleeding cheek. Suddenly, someone grabbed his other hand and pulled him back.
It’s Kong Lingyu.
Fang Huai turned around in astonishment and saw Kong Lingyu tilting his head and smiling at him, but his hand was still tightly holding him. He used his rough palm to wipe the blood stains on his fingertips again and again. A stinging pain came from between his fingers. Fang Huai wanted to withdraw his hand, but saw that the hand seal rubbing his arm turned into a black snake.
The black snake climbed up his arm, its thick and long tail wrapped around his waist, and its erect pupils stared straight at him, as if it was going to swallow him up in the next second.
"don't want!"
Fang Huai sat up from the bed, his forehead covered with sweat. He hugged the quilt in a daze, obviously not yet recovered from the nightmare.
The rapid knock on the bedroom door startled Fang Huai. He stood up vigilantly and looked at the closed door.
The next second, the door was kicked open from the outside, and the bedroom suddenly became bright.
