destiny
Unable to bear it any longer, Wen Xubai finally couldn't help but stomp on Qi Zui's foot. The man's pupils shrank instantly, he suddenly lifted his foot and lost his balance, then quickly pounced on him!
Their pupils, one light and one dark, met in mid-air and widened simultaneously.
Wen Xubai instinctively tried to back away, but it was too late. Qi Zui's weight suddenly pressed down, and the two of them fell onto the sofa together in a human pyramid shape!
Qi Zui: "..."
Wen Xubai: "·······"
Almost instinctively, at the critical moment, Qi Zui placed his left hand behind Wen Xubai's head, while Wen Xubai, mindful of his hand still in a cast, placed his right hand on Qi Zui's chest, trying to create some distance.
This creates a very awkward posture.
The two bear cubs weren't so lucky. They fell face to face, and if they weren't made of cotton but were real people, they would probably have broken their noses at the same time and been sent to the hospital together.
For some reason, Wen Xubai suddenly began to ponder Liu Mo's words; they seemed to make some sense...
Qi Zui buried his head in Wen Xubai's neck, his breathing a little rapid. He knelt between Wen Xubai's legs, and suddenly thought: I might need to take another cold shower…
Seeing the other person's ambiguous eyes, Wen Xubai finally realized what was happening, quickly pushed the person away, and sat up, his ears turning slightly red.
"Cough cough..." Qi Zui coughed twice, pressing his fist against his chest, and then straightened up, feeling a little embarrassed to look at Wen Xubai's face.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the teddy bear that had fallen beside his legs. Qi Zui picked up the teddy bear, pointed it at his nose, and whispered, "It's all your fault..."
"What did you say?" Wen Xubai turned to look at him.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Qi Zui quickly changed his expression, turned around, and the brown bear's upturned lips seemed to be mocking him.
"Tch, I'm not going to stoop to your level!" Qi Zui angrily tossed the teddy bear aside, only to have it caught by a pair of well-defined hands.
Qi Zui: "?"
Looking at Wen Xubai with a puzzled expression, she noticed that Wen Xubai's ears were still slightly red.
Wen Xubai placed the brown bear and the white bear together in the corner. Since the sofa was soft and the two bears couldn't sit steadily, he simply let them sit head to head, leaning against each other.
Looking at it this way, the little bear that was just "scheming" seems to have turned into a "sweet" smile.
The two fluffy heads leaned together, creating a harmonious feeling of "loving each other".
Qi Zui touched the tip of his nose, embarrassed, and said, "How... how did I put them together?"
Wen Xubai turned her head and looked at him strangely: "Didn't you say it was its husband? Shouldn't a couple be standing together?"
With a "bang," it was like a thunderclap exploding in Qi Zui's mind. Qi Zui never expected that the words he used to tease Wen Xubai would be returned to him like a boomerang.
Looking up, he saw Wen Xubai with an innocent expression, seemingly unaware of anything wrong with what he had said.
Amidst Qi Zui's utterly shocked gaze, Wen Xubai walked back, then plopped down next to him, grabbed a blanket from the side and wrapped it around both of them, snuggling into his arms and saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to watch a movie? Then turn off the lights."
Qi Zuiqiang suppressed the urge to swell up and, without refusing, reached out and turned off the light beside him.
In an instant, the entire living room was plunged into darkness.
Having grown accustomed to bright light, Wen Xubai found it difficult to adjust for a moment, and subconsciously tightened the blanket around himself, pulling Qi Zui closer as well.
Wen Xubai's fluffy hair brushed against Qi Zui's neck, causing a slight itch. The pleasant scent of shampoo lingered in his nose, along with Wen Xubai's unique fragrance. In an instant, he felt as if he had truly transformed into a "little bear."
Unconsciously, her hand wrapped around Wen Xubai's waist. The TV screen in front of them was showing a chase scene. It was a movie that the two of them had accidentally picked up by the remote control. They didn't know what to watch, and fate had made the choice. So they watched this.
As Qi Zui said, "If fate has destined us to be intertwined, souls drawn together, and flesh and blood in love, then let us follow its arrangement and enjoy our time to the fullest."
To be honest, this statement doesn't quite fit the two of them: because they were both people who were unwilling to accept their fate from a young age.
Whether it was Wen Xu's painstaking efforts to escape the Wen family, or Qi Zui's unwillingness to accept poverty and his desperate efforts to earn money to change his fate, it was all because they did not believe in the constraints of fate.
But when it comes to "loving you," I'm willing to believe in fate.
Or to put it another way: if fate brings us together, we'll go with the flow; if fate doesn't allow us to be together, we'll defy it.
The TV was showing a scene of the male and female protagonists eloping. Perhaps on a whim, Qi Zui blurted out, "Let's elope!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Xubai was somewhat surprised, but not at all astonished. He looked up at Qi Zui's handsome profile, and just then, Qi Zui also turned his head, their eyes meeting, his gaze earnest.
He wasn't joking.
Wen Xubai suddenly smiled and said seriously, "Okay."
Let's escape together, escape the Wen family's surveillance, escape the Ruan family's control, escape all the elaborate conspiracies, and escape all the shackles of worldly constraints, to a place where it's just you and me...
In the darkness, two surging hearts pressed together, as if they had never felt such passionate excitement before...
Neither of them remembered how the movie ended. As they drifted off to sleep, they simply fell asleep in each other's arms on the sofa.
Wen Xubai slept on the inside, with most of his body curled up in Qi Zui's arms. The man's warm body blocked most of the cold, so when Wen Xubai woke up, he felt refreshed all over.
Qi Zui, however, was not so lucky.
The consequence of taking a cold shower and being exposed to a draft all night was that I developed a high fever the next morning.
Wen Xubai didn't notice at first, but when he finished washing up and returned to the living room, he found Qi Zui lying on his back with his lips pale, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, when I reached down to my forehead, it felt like it was on fire.
Wen Xubai was immediately frightened and quickly dragged the person back to the bedroom to lie on the bed, then went to find the fever reducer at home.
In the midst of the panic, another thought popped into my head: No wonder I slept so warmly last night...?
When Wen Xubai opened the medicine drawer, it was full of medicines. There were quite a few, but he felt that something was not right. Why did these medicines look so familiar?
Sure enough, when I looked at the expiration date, it had expired almost a year ago.
Wen Xubai was speechless: "......"
No wonder they looked so familiar; these medicines were all bought by Qi Zui when he was sick three years ago.
Wen Xubai slapped his forehead, finally understanding what it meant: the boomerang from many years ago hit him right between the eyebrows.
No, has Qi Zui never been sick all these years?
He stormed into the room with a fierce momentum, but the moment he saw Qi Zui's pale and weak face, Wen Xubai's anger vanished instantly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, extinguishing even the biggest fire.
Helpless, Wen Xubai sighed softly. Just like Qi Zui had done before, he went out to buy medicine, fed it to Qi Zui, and then turned around and went into the kitchen to start studying how to cook white porridge.
Qi Zui, who was in a deep sleep, was completely unaware of this until he was awakened by an explosion!
Qi Zui jumped out of bed instantly and rushed out of the room almost instinctively, his eyes filled with fear as he cried out, "What happened?! What happened?!"
Then Wen Xubai was seen holding a burnt pot of wine, with billowing black smoke rising from it, making Wen Xubai frown repeatedly.
Qi was utterly shocked: "What are you doing? Making explosives?"
"No, I'm cooking porridge," Wen Xubai said earnestly.
"Making porridge?! You're making porridge in a frying pan?!" Qi Zui's pupils dilated in shock. "It's not like you're making paste... Are you hurt anywhere?"
Wen Xubai shook his head, took one last look at the result of his hard work, sighed helplessly, and put the pot down.
He probably doesn't have a talent for cooking.
Wen Xubai took off his apron, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, dried them, picked up his phone from the table, and resignedly said, "Let's order takeout."
"Yes, yes, ordering takeout is good!" Qi really didn't want to discourage Wen Xubai's confidence, but if he continued, he was afraid he would either be blown up by the pot or poisoned, so he could only nod hurriedly.
Fortunately, Wen Xubai accepted this fact calmly, without feeling sad or angry.
For the next two weeks, the two of them relied on takeout food until Qi Zui's arm had fully recovered and he went to the hospital to have the cast removed.
What they didn't expect was that along with the news of Wen Tingyi's death, they also received news of his passing.
Since Wen Tingyi was hospitalized, his health has been deteriorating. Everyone was prepared for him to die at any time, but when the moment actually came, Wen Xubai's feelings were still somewhat complicated.
Putting aside whether there was anything strange about Wen Tingyi's death, the feelings the two people had for him are hard to describe.
Neither he nor Qi Zui had deep feelings for Wen Tingyi, but he was, after all, a "foster father with whom he had lived for eighteen years" and a "biological father with whom he was still related by blood, even though he had not fulfilled his duty of raising him."
They weren't exactly sad, but neither were they happy or excited... Their emotions were like stagnant water, devoid of any turbulent waves; everything was calm and still.
After all, the biggest obstacle for the two of them now is no longer Wen Tingyi.
Wen Xuyuan stayed by Ruan Yun's bedside day and night, no longer caring about company affairs. Wen Xuyi was still in prison awaiting sentencing. Qin Yalin could no longer cause any trouble. Only Wen Xushi and Ruan Xing, who was disguised as "Wen Xuchi," were still secretly competing.
But now, all of that will be completely irrelevant to them...
Qi Zui pulled Wen Xubai into his arms, gently stroking his back and saying, "Don't think about it anymore. Once we leave here, it will all be over. No matter how Ruan Xing and Wen Xushi fight, whether the Wen family swallows up the Ruan family or vice versa, it's none of our business anymore. We'll just live our own lives, taking your aunt and Fang Yue and her child with us, and fly far away. No one will be able to bother us anymore..."
"Yes." Wen Xubai hugged him back, saying firmly, "It's all over..."
