"Are you crazy?!" Huo Yi yelled as he rushed to hold the man's bleeding hand. How could he do this to himself? Just because a man is not worthy of his love? A man who doesn't give a crap about him? He finds all of this so irritating. He had ways to know Liang Chen as a rational person, so you know how shocked he is seeing the always elegant man In a drunk mess because of someone worthless.
"Huo Fei… Feifei, you are back? Where did you go? Did you truly get kidnapped or don't lie to me… are you tired of me? You don't want me anymore, is that why you left for almost a week! Feifei? Why aren't you saying anything?!" Liang Chen kept asking drunkenly as he held Huo Yi's hand. He was so drunk that he couldn't even differentiate which caused more pain to Huo Yi.
"How pathetic! Look at me! Liang Chen, I want you to widen your eyes and look at the person standing before you! This is Huo Yi! Huo Yi! Huo Yi! Not that person Huo Fei! I am me! While you are going crazy thinking about Huo Fei, he is enjoying himself with his lover, he doesn't even care about your pathetic self! So wake up!" Huo Yi yelled angrily at the man who looked shocked.
"What do you mean by that? What are you trying to say, Huo Yi?! Where is Huo Fei? Don't tell me it's really what I thought about. Tell me!" The now clear-minded Liang Chen asked in shock as he held Huo Yi's hand in disbelief.
Liang Chen felt his heart rate increase in tension. He didn't want to believe what he just heard, he didn't want to believe his innocent Feifei would do something like that. During the week he was looking for Huo Fei, his assistant had kept telling him, that he was seen in the airport with his manager, looking fishy, his assistant had warned him then. But he had dismissed it and told him to increase the search which had made his assistant look at him with disappointment, but he didn't want to believe it, even when his heart kept telling him there was something wrong, he still held on to that single hope but now someone was telling him to his face that Huo Fei didn't go missing but was with another man!
"Let go of my hand! You crazy man!" Huo Fei yelled when he felt the hold on his hand tighten.
"You..! I am sorry, I didn't know… sorry. So tell me what do you mean? Where is Huo Fei?" Liang Chen apologized and continued asking questions. All he wanted was answers.
Huo Yi looked at his injured hand as self-contempt filled his eyes. What was he expecting? Was he expecting the man to at least care about his injured arms? He looked at the man desperate for an answer which he was ready to give.
Liang Chen watched in confusion as he brought out his phone and played a recording. He didn't get it at first but when he heard the voice of his beloved, he paid attention.
"Hao Ran~ I called you but you didn't pick up my call, are you that busy?" the sweet and sticky voice of Huo Fei came out of the recording. And it seems he was talking to someone he loved so much. Liang Chen was shocked but he continued listening to him.
" Is that why you only picked my
Call? Anyway, I miss you so much… When can we implement the plan? I want to leave here! I want to be with you every day…" Huo Fei continued talking but Liang Fei couldn't listen to it anymore. He, I didn't want to hear his sweet talk with other men.
"What went on?! How could he do this to me?! I gave him everything! I tried my best to please him, he should have told me if he didn't want me, so why did he do this? No! This is not the FeiFei I know, something must be wrong! Yes, something must be wrong!" Liang Chen kept muttering to himself unbelievably. He couldn't even bring himself to believe the man he had always thought was an innocent man, with a lovely heart was cheating on him. The funniest part of all this was that the man he cheated with was someone everyone knows, Huo Fei's Manager Hao Ran!
"Leave, and thank you for telling me the truth." Liang Chen said as he looked at the young. He had always seen him as his younger brother and he was glad he had stood on his side and not supported his brother which made him see him in a new light.
"I can't leave!" Huo Yi said stubbornly, making Liang Chen speechless.
"Why? Did you fight with your family?" He asked. He knew about the Huo family's biases but he didn't care about it as he had always felt Huo Fei deserved more love and care because he had a sickly body. He knew he was selfish but he loved that man so much, Huo Yi had always acted strong and had never sought attention, so seeing him reject him now was the first as he had always been obedient.
" I won't leave if you don't allow me to treat your injured hands. And yes I was sent out by my family after an argument." Huo Yi answered indifferently.
"Don't worry, I will leave after I finish cleaning your wound, I won't be in your house, I am used to staying in the hostel." Huo Yi immediately explained he didn't want the man to think he was here to stay in his house, he never had that thought.
"I never said you can't stay. Besides, this is not your first time in my house. And as for my wound, it will heal on its own. Thank you." Liang Chen said and turned to leave the room unsteadily.
"Why? Is he worth it? Punishing yourself with injuries because of a man who treated you wrong, is he worth it?" Huo Yi asked the man after hearing his indifferent tone.
"Ha! I think he is worth it. Even when he did all this, I can't even blame him, I blame myself for not being good enough, pathetic right? But you won't understand the happiness of being safe when you are at your end. Just lock the door on your way out." His words pierced Huo Yi's heart deeply. He looked at the man's weak back as he staggered back to his room.
"Then what about him? He had saved him from drowning too, so why can't he get his love? Even if it was just 30 percent of the love given to Huo Fei, he would roll on the ground in happiness. Now he knows the reason why he gave his heart to Huo Fei, just like him, his elder brother had saved him before, What a coincidence. The two brothers of the Huo family's fate are intertwined with Liang Chen.
Huo Yi looked at the house and immediately got to work, he cleared the broken bottles from the floor and picked up the scattered clothes, then mopped the blood and alcohol on the floor. He looked at the house that was now tidy then looked upstairs, knowing he couldn't see the man anymore, he left the place.
He stood in front of the house in a daze, the time had gone and it was night already. He knew he couldn't reach the school before 11 pm which was the time given by the university, so he decided to take a taxi to his best friend Jing Wei's house.
Huo Yi got there around 10:30 pm and walked to the house with familiarity. This was not his first time coming here, as he does come for a stayover whenever he comes back late and can't get to the hostel. He had been friends with Jing Wei since high school and she knows everything about him including his secret love for Liang Chen. She came from a wealthy family, unlike his family that was pretending to be part of the wealthy. She was like a tomboy and didn't act like other wealthy girls who acted arrogantly.
He got to her apartment and knocked. He could have punched in her passlock since he knew it but he knew something called boundaries. Even if they were best friends and he was gay, that doesn't mean he could barge into her house like that, as she was an adult and might be having a moment with her lover.
The door opened and revealed Jing Wei. She was wearing a revealing shirt without her undies, which exposed her well endowed, which shocked Huo Yi so much that he turned his back immediately.
"Jing Wei! Why are you putting on such nonsense? Don't you know you are a girl?!" He was tired of this girl's lack of awareness.
"Why? Were you seduced? Do you feel turned on? Did I turn you straight? Haha!"
