Chapter-7: Tears Of The Past Fears

Li Feng Mian's eyes darkened but then in a second changed his mood before anyone could notice and laughed,

"Leave it. Who cares about those senseless rumors in the media? Wei Chen, in which field did you do your masters?"

He changed the subject smoothly and signed his cousins to walk quietly.

"Uh... business management."

Wei Chen replied understanding that Feng Mian didn't want to create an awkward atmosphere between them and he was grateful for it.

He smiled at the taller,

>>>Such a gentleman.

But Feng Mian who was offended by Wei Chen's sudden rise in voice against his cousins was just playing cool on the outside and was cooking up a sinister plan in his mind which was unknown to the smaller.

"Oh yes, no wonder you are a pro in the business. I heard from my Jiejie, that you gave her a fierce competition on a tender," Feng Mian looked at him to see his reaction.

Song Wei Chen was astonished,

>>>What? The C.E.O of Li Corporations, Li Hui Ying, the woman whom everyone fears in the business world mentioned me to her brother...?

>>>Wait...is she upset that I got the deal instead of her company? What if she decided to ruin our Song family because I offended her?

Li Feng Mian smiled in satisfaction seeing the smaller's amazed expression turning into a feared one.

"I-I...just tried my best..." Wei Chen didn't know how to respond.

The taller chuckled and placed his hand over Wei Chen's shoulder,

"Don't worry, she liked it that after a long time, she got a tough opponent like you."

Li Feng Mian tried to ease the smaller's expression cause he knew what the other was worried about.

>>>Of course, everyone fears Jiejie but Wei Chen, why am I enjoying you getting scared like this? Interesting, I might as well have fun while I stay in S city.

"It's an honor that she thinks so highly of me," Wei Chen quickly replied and looked at the taller as his eyelashes trembled.

>>>If Father knows about this... he will not stay put. I can't afford to offend the Li family.

"T-This... is the 'Novice Pavillion', boy's side is this way and girl's dorms are to the right side."

Song Wei Chen showed the directions as they stopped in front of an arch that had the 'Novice Pavillion' name on it.

"Ah, we are here, Li Fan and Mei Lian, go and put your luggage in your rooms and come down, we will go out for lunch and then I will drop you guys back here."

Feng Mian instructed and both twins nodded and went off in each direction.

"Then... I will leave too, goodbye, Young Master Li."

Wei Chen bowed and was about to go but a big arm held his hand and stopped him from taking a step further.

Wei Chen looked back, "Is there anything else?"

He looked at the taller while gulping his saliva, he needed to go to the company for the emergency meeting, if not his father would be enraged with him.

Also, he didn't want to offend the Li family cause if he did so, there would be no company to attend the meetings in the first place.

"Give me your number, I will be staying here for a while. I don't know anyone here, would you like to accompany me to see places, Wei Chen?"

Li Feng Mian asked leaning forward and it was an obvious lie.

Their faces were so close to each other, Wei Chen didn't like it but he couldn't break off from the strong grip of the taller.

Even though Feng Mian was four years younger than him, his aura was so different, that it was dominating and pressurizing. His eyes were of a predator looking down at its prey.

Song Wei Chen nodded lightly and only then Feng Mian left his hand with a smirk on his face and extended his hand, signing him to give his phone.

The smaller took out his phone and handed it to the taller who dialed his number calling his own and added his number on the other's phone and then gave it back to the smaller.

"Looking forward to our next meeting, Wei Chen," Feng Mian's lips curled up.

Wei Chen's eyes rippled as he backed off and bowed to him,

"I will be leaving." And the smaller walked away at a fast speed.

As he was getting cold sweats, at first Feng Mian was good, he gave off a gentleman's vibe but who was he kidding?

Song Wei Chen was a person who had great intuition about the people.

He knew Li Feng Mian wasn't someone to mess with, he was kind on the outside but inside he was darker and dangerous and Wei Chen didn't dare to stand up against him cause he didn't have the power to do so.

As he walked out of the University, he was worried that Feng Mian would do something sooner and he should be prepared for it to protect his little brother Xiao Bo.

...

"Hey, Feng Mian. What are you doing here?"

A tall person similar to the height of Feng Mian who was Raven haired and had dark ebony eyes that could pierce through anything just by a quick gaze asked with a frown evident on his face.

"Hi, MuMu! How are you?"

Feng Mian hugged his best friend, an accomplice in crime, and his business partner.

"You wanna die?"

Wang Mu Chen glared at his friend as he doesn't like the nickname his friend would call him all the time.

"Nope, not so soon. So, are you free today?" Feng Mian queried.

"Why?"

Wang Mu Chen looked at his friend with zero interest.

"Buddy, I am here after years, and see, you're having such a boring expression on your face. Aren't you excited to meet me?"

Feng Mian questioned showing a fake hurt expression.

"Nope. Anyway, you are not here for me. You came all the way from New York to here to get a break from your sister's nagging, didn't you?" Mu Chen presumed.

"Why are you so smart? I hate smart fellas like you," Feng Mian showed his disdain.

"Gege," a sweet voice called from behind and Mu Chen turned to see him.

"Ah, you are here, Yu-Er" Mu Chen smiled and patted the younger's head.

"This..." Feng Mian looked at him with curious eyes.

Wang Mu Chen gazed at his friend, "This is my cousin, Cao Shen Yu, he is the same age as your twin cousins."

"Ah, is that so? Hey, Yu-Er, I am your Gege's friend, Li Feng Mian," He introduced himself.

Cao Shen Yu bowed at him, "Nice to meet you, Gege."

Wang Mu Chen walked towards his friend, leaned in, and whispered in his ear,

"Don't even try to play your tricks with him. I would make you an eunuch if you try to approach my little brother."

Li Feng Mian smirked.

"Don't worry, Yu-Er isn't my type. And I have already got my eyes on a Kitten."

Wang Mu Chen stepped back with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't know you stopped being a human and started chasing after animals. I should pray for that kitten's safety"

Feng Mian rolled his eyes at that.

"Yu-Er, let's go, I will show you your room."

Mu Chen took the luggage from his brother and carried it inside the building not looking back at his friend.

Cao Shen Yu bowed at Feng Mian awkwardly and ran behind his elder brother.

"MuMu, I will be visiting you on the weekend," Li Feng Mian shouted purposefully to irritate his friend.

Wang Mu Chen stopped, and gritted his teeth,

"Bastard!"

He mumbled and he lifted his free hand, showed his middle finger to his friend without looking back, and walked away.

Li Feng Mian just smirked and waited for his twin cousins to get back and while doing so he called someone,

"Hello, I want every detail of Song Wei Chen. His daily life, his hobbies, his strength, and particularly his weakness and any dirt on him."

"Yes, sir," The person replied from the other line.

"Um."

He cut the call and a playful smirk was on his lips.

...

"Xiao Xiao, let's go to the cafeteria, I am so hungry," Feng Xin Yi whined.

Xiao Bo was still not getting used to how Xin Yi had become so close to him just in minutes.

"Um, I will be back after I wash my face and then we will go to eat,"

Xiao Bo responded and put his bag away that he was arranging with books according to his class schedules and went inside the washroom.

Just then a knock was heard and Feng Xin Yi got up from his bed to open the door,

"Mu Gege," Xin Yi was shocked to see him.

"Xin Yi," Wang Mu Chen patted his head.

"Come inside Gege, why are you here so suddenly? I was about to meet you after I had lunch."

Xin Yi moved away from the door giving the taller some space to get inside the room.

"Ah, I wanted to introduce you both."

Wang Mu Chen moved a little and Xin Yi saw the smaller male behind him.

"Hello," Cao Shen Yu waved his hand and smiled at him cutely.

"This is..." Feng Xin Yi looked at Mu Chen.

"He is Cao Shen Yu, my maternal cousin," Mu Chen introduced him.

"Ah, Uncle Zhang Bao's son. I wanted to meet you so much cause Uncle always used to talk about you, and you are also the same age as me, I was really curious but you never came to C country."

Xin Yi pouted a little and allowed the both of them inside the room.

Wang Mu Chen sat on Xiao Bo's bed while Xin Yi held Shen Yu's hand and made him sit beside him.

Feng Xin Yi knew about all the family members of Wang Mu Chen cause their families were friends for generations.

Xin Yi played at Wang's mansion more than he stayed at his home so he knew all the Wangs even their branch family members.

"He is in your class and the room next to you, he is a little shy and fears new people so I thought it would be a good idea if he stayed with you in this room but the Janitor said that your room was occupied by the other student," Mu Chen said looking over the things of Xiao Bo.

"Ah, yes. Till last week, the Janitor said that my roommate wouldn't be staying in the room so I was a little disappointed but then they said he was coming to stay in the dorms and I am telling you he is super cute just like Shen Yu," Xin Yi explained with a big smile on his face.

Wang Mu Chen smiled at him,

"So where is this cute roommate of yours?" He looked around the room.

"Ah, he is in the washroom. I will introduce him once he comes out, and you will see how cute he is Mu Gege. I bet Shen Yu, I and him will become best friends," Xin Yi proclaimed.

"Good for you both. But just don't spend all your time chit-chatting and do some study, alright?" Wang Mu Chen looked at both of them.

Shen Yu nodded politely while Xin Yi, "Ugh, Mu Gege is always so serious and so strict about studies. We have to enjoy our life in high school."

Mu Chen shook his head,

"Alright, have fun. Then I will be leaving. I have work to do, go get some food in the cafeteria, and then go to the administration cabin and check your class schedule once again, okay?"

Song Xiao Bo who was about to open the door of the washroom was frozen when he heard the familiar voice. He peeked out from the hole and his eyes widened in shock.

Wang Mu Chen was sitting on his bed talking sweetly with Feng Xin Yi. Xiao Bo's eyes became wet as tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Mu Ge-"

He closed his mouth immediately from saying Gege and backed off cause he remembered how Wang Mu Chen cut off his tongue in his past life as he got irritated when he called him 'Mu Gege'.

He hit his back to the wall and dropped to the floor with tears. He shut his mouth tightly with his palms and muffled his sobs.
