Chapter 7
"Xiao Guang was kidnapped, and Brother Qin Yi chased him out!"
Lian Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Where did he chase?"
The wind whistled past his ears, and the blood rushed through his body. Lian Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had run like this.
The scenery on both sides receded, and Lian Yu's eyes kept searching.
Suddenly, he noticed a pair of fallen children's shoes at the entrance of the alley.
When he looked up, he saw Qin Yi being cornered by a masked man at the end of the alley. A sharp dagger flashed with a cold light, pointing directly at Qin Yi and Xiaoguang, who was tightly in his arms.
Boom!
A stream of blood rushed straight towards Lian Yu's head.
The body is faster than reason.
Lian Yu knocked the masked man over. Everything happened so fast, screaming, crying, and cursing. When the sharp blade pierced his abdomen, Lian Yu felt cold first.
The dagger was pulled out, and warm blood splashed on his hand. Lian Yu leaned against the wall and slid down with the force of gravity.
Finally, it hurts.
"Mr. Lian!"
Qin Yi was calling him.
Lian Yu struggled to think, but his vision gradually blurred.
The masked man ran away.
Lian Yu struggled to gather his consciousness, finally seeing the pair of red, tearful eyes in front of him. He was lying in Qin Yi's arms, his slender white hands pressing desperately on his wounds. Blood gushed out from between the young man's fingers like a fountain.
"Don't...don't fall asleep, don't!"
His heartbeat was pounding violently in his ears. Was it his own? Or Qin Yi's?
Drops of tears fell on Lian Yu's neck and lips.
Don't cry.
Lian Yu stretched out his hand, but asked:
"Where's Lian Yang?"
Qin Yi took his hand, put it on his face, and shook his head:
"Not long after you left, Xiao Yang passed away, saying there was an emergency at school... Please hold on a little longer, the ambulance will be here soon!"
Lian Yu suddenly felt like laughing.
The protagonist, the bottom, is crying like this, but the protagonist, the top, hasn't appeared yet. It's really unreasonable.
"...Don't cry," he moved his fingertips with effort, "You are very brave..."
The ambulance sirens were getting closer.
Lian Yu's fingers softened.
Consciousness falls into the deep sea.
“…”
"...the inhibitor will affect the patient's wound healing...don't use it..."
"……I see……"
Lian Yu opened his eyes.
The dazzling sunlight shone in from the window, his eyelashes trembled and he squinted his eyes.
Soon, the light blue curtains were drawn, Qin Yi sat down beside him, and held Lian Yu's hand.
"You're awake."
"I--"
"Today is the third day." Qin Yi said, raising the backrest of the bed.
"On the third day," Lian Yu lowered his eyes, suddenly remembering something, "Are you hurt? Where's Xiaoguang? Has the kidnapper been caught?"
"Thanks to you, Xiaoguang and I were not hurt."
Qin Yi frowned and opened his hands to show Lian Yu: "I scratched the kidnapper several times, leaving his biometric information under my fingernails. The police are already investigating."
"That's good." Lian Yu breathed a sigh of relief and inadvertently met Qin Yi's expectant eyes.
Lian Yu was stunned, and then rubbed Qin Yi's head stiffly:
“That’s amazing.”
Qin Yi's smile became even brighter.
"elder brother!"
After a few knocks, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Lian Yang rushed in as if he was there to collect a debt. His eyes fell on Lian Yu's hand resting on Qin Yi's hair, and his movements froze.
Lian Yu withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
"What's up."
"What's going on..." Lian Yang muttered, rubbing his neck. "I heard you woke up, so why not come and see you?"
Qin Yi stood up tactfully and tucked the corner of the quilt tightly for Lian Yu:
"Mr. Lian, you guys chat, I'll go buy a bottle of water."
After saying that, Qin Yixiang nodded to Lian Yang, turned around and walked out.
The ward door was closed tightly, and Lian Yang sat down beside the bed with his head lowered.
The other party didn't say anything, and Lian Yu didn't rush to speak. The room was silent and awkward for a while.
Lian Yu closed his eyes and dozed off.
"elder brother."
Lian Yang took a deep breath and said, "I know you and Mom were spying on me, but I didn't expect you to actually rush over to save Xiaoguang and Qin Yige. So, this time, I forgive you for spying on me. But go back and tell Mom that I will definitely not be returning to inherit the family business!"
"Surveillance? Me?"
Lian Yu frowned, "Are you referring to the day when Mom came to see me?"
Lian Yang nodded vigorously.
"You misunderstood."
Lian Yu laughed and pinched his brows: "Mom came to me to arrange an omega for me."
"Omega!"
Lian Yang lost his voice, then realized that he was talking too loudly and quickly covered his mouth:
"Have you made up your mind? Do you like that omega? Then Qin——"
"Don't worry."
Interrupting Lian Yang, Lian Yu paused before continuing, "I won't spy on you for Mom. I know your ideal is to help omegas, right?"
This time it was Lian Yang who was stunned.
After a while, the usually noisy boy became serious, and Lian Yang nodded solemnly, with a firmness he had never shown before.
"I want all omega children to be able to speak out their gender openly, and not be like me, who couldn't even acknowledge my own gender."
Lian Yang stared at Lian Yu, his eyes filled with genuine gratitude:
"Thank you, brother. I misunderstood you too much before and my attitude was not good. I'm sorry."
Lian Yu curled the corners of his lips: "Go."
"and you……"
"I'm fine. Those kids need you more than I do."
Lian Yang was finally persuaded.
After a simple farewell, Lian Yang pushed open the door of the ward, but unexpectedly bumped into someone leaning against the door.
Seeing him come out, Qin Yi stood up, nodded to him with a smile, and walked into the ward.
Although everything was normal, Lian Yang always felt that there was something wrong with Qin Yi.
Why?
Lian Yang scratched his head. Never mind. Let's go.
Today is the day Lian Yu is discharged from the hospital.
During the ten days he was hospitalized, Qin Yi came every day and stayed for most of the day. Whenever Lian Yu tried to persuade Qin Yi to go back, the young man would prop up his chin and look at him with a smile, saying, "When two people are together, even if we're in a daze, we won't feel lonely, right?"
Once these words were spoken, Lian Yu couldn't refuse.
"Mr. Lian?"
Qin Yi tilted his head and looked back at him with his big eyes.
Lian Yu then realized that he had been staring at the other person for too long. He coughed lightly and abruptly changed the subject: "Where is Lian Yang?"
"Xiao Yang went to arrange a car and should be back soon."
Lian Yu nodded.
There was no topic, so Qin Yi propped up his head and looked at him again.
Such a passionate and straightforward gaze made Lian Yu feel a little embarrassed.
"Ahem," he clenched his fist and put it to his lips, "Can you... accept being with someone other than Beta?"
"Together?" Qin Yi looked at him blankly, his voice a little hoarse for some reason.
Lian Yu thought the other party didn't understand and explained, "It's just love."
In front of me, the young man slowly lowered his head, and the hair tucked behind his ears slid down to his cheeks, obscuring his expression.
Only the hair and ears were red.
"Red."
Lian Yu murmured unconsciously, but it fell into Qin Yi's ears.
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized his loss of composure. He quickly covered his ears, but this revealed his red face.
Lian Yu had never seen Qin Yi so flustered before, and as he watched, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Qin Yi gave up struggling and let go, holding the non-existent hair ball on his pants, and answered vaguely:
"Yeah, yeah...okay."
He is usually so bold and passionate, but when it comes to love, he seems so helpless.
It’s great to be young.
Lian Yu was very relieved.
“That’s great!”
He stepped off the bed and patted Qin Yi's shoulders twice: "I believe that you will support each other and make progress together in the future. You will definitely be happy."
Qin Yi was a little confused by his photo and blinked.
"us?"
"elder brother!"
Lian Yang rushed in, boasting as if to win the prize:
"I've completed the formalities, the driver is waiting in the car—"
"come on."
Lian Yu patted Lian Yang on the shoulder, then walked away.
Only two people were left in the ward staring at each other.
"Tu Tu."
[Xiaoyu, I'm here!]
Tutu jumped out in response, as if he had been waiting for Lian Yu to call him.
"What's the resentment value now?"
[Querying values... Query successful: 0] Tutu's mechanical eyes flashed red, and he spun around excitedly: [Success! Xiaoyu succeeded!]
Lian Yu raised the corners of his lips.
As early as when he stabbed Qin Yi, he had a premonition that the mission would be successful.
Now, it's time to go to the next mission world.
Lian Yu opened the driver's door.
Then I ran head-on into a pair of white pectoral muscles.
The driver looked up, staring blankly at Lian Yu for a moment, then hurriedly turned off his phone. The screen went black, but the music from the short video continued.
"Mr. Lian, please listen to my explanation! I, I am--"
The black card was handed to the driver.
The driver thought for a moment, then suddenly hugged himself and looked at Lian Yu with panic in his eyes.
"I, I'm a decent person, you can't insult me like this!"
Lian Yu was speechless.
He shoved the card into the driver's hand and stepped aside to make way. "Go buy me a bowl of instant noodles. Make sure it's cooked."
"Ah... okay?"
The driver didn't understand, but he did it.
Looking at the other person's figure walking away, Lian Yu locked the car door.
That should be enough time.
"Tutu, open the tunnel."
[Tutu received!]
A tiny, pitch-black dot clung to the center of the steering wheel, then grew and expanded, transforming into a massive vortex. Star wind blew through the tunnel, stirring Lian Yu's hair.
The tunnel has been fully opened. By passing through the tunnel, Lian Yu can reach the next world.
Suddenly, the star wind blew violently, instantly pressing Lian Yu against the back of the seat.
[No, no!]
The vortex flickered, like an advertising sign that was about to break.
[The tunnel is disappearing!]
As Tutu finished speaking, the star wind stopped and the vortex disappeared.
For a moment, the sealed car was so quiet that only Lian Yu's breathing could be heard. He sat in the driver's seat in shock, unable to understand why everything happened so suddenly.
"how so?"
[Report! Tutu checked with headquarters and learned that a defector stole the tunnel's controller, causing the entire tunnel to become unstable. Headquarters said that if one attempt doesn't work, try restarting a few times. If that doesn't work, try taking a few shots.]
Lian Yu: ...
Just sitting there stiffly isn't a solution. I can't be stuck here forever.
Lian Yu sighed and sat up:
"Come again."
The dark dot reappeared, spinning slowly—
Knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the car window. Lian Yu's shoulders shook. He pressed the small dot on the steering wheel with one hand and rolled down the window with the other.
Qin Yi was standing outside the window.
"Mr. Lian, your injuries haven't fully healed yet and you need someone to take care of you. I—"
As he spoke, Qin Yi suddenly stopped.
Lian Yu followed his gaze and found that Qin Yi was staring at his hands on the steering wheel.
"Mr. Lian, are you... leaving?"
