The knock on the door came suddenly, and Chu Yi Qiao was stunned. He just stared at the door, motionless, his fingertips hanging by his side trembling slightly.
The scratched photo was a sneak shot of Luo Qing Ye playing basketball, and he remembered the clothes very clearly.
The bloody severed hand was a warning Jiang Mian Huai gave him, as if to say that the next time, it would be the turn of the person he cared about the most.
Jiang Mian Huai was going to touch his Alpha.
This was his bottom line, and he wouldn’t back down.
Chu Yi Qiao gradually tightened his trembling hands, his whole body tensed, his heart couldn’t stop pounding, the sound was as strong as if his eardrums were being beaten like a drum, he didn’t notice the sweat on his forehead sliding down his cheeks, he stared at the door and didn’t move.
“……Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
A calm and steady voice came from outside. Hearing who it was, Chu Yi Qiao’s tense nerves relaxed instantly. He took a deep breath, just like a fish on the verge of death and came back to life the moment it touched the water.
It was Luo Qing Ye.
His Alpha.
Not Jiang Mian Huai.
His state of alertness slackened, and the anxiety in the bottom of his eyes faded.
But what immediately followed was an apology.
Just now, the two of them had a little unpleasantness in the car. Luo Qing Ye slammed the car door and left without looking back. He must be unhappy. He has tried his best not to expose any clues to Luo Qing Ye, but he seems to be unable to control his emotions.
Now he even made Luo Qing Ye come running to him.
The look under the glasses changed. He shouldn’t have told Luo Qing Ye that he was coming to Jiang Tian Yi Su. Wouldn’t this put Luo Qing Ye in danger as well?
The moment the door was opened, the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first.
Luo Qing Ye looked at Chu Yi Qiao, and he found that Chu Yi Qiao’s complexion was not quite right, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his pheromones were also very faint, so faint that it was difficult to capture the vitality of the pheromones. The more this man was like this, the more annoyed he became.
How many times has it been?
Every time he felt that he could do it, that he could bear it, even if he already had an Alpha, he still had to charge ahead first.
Not to mention that he was not feeling well, not saying when he had a fever, and even when he vomited blood many times, he didn’t say anything. He dared to face Bai Chuan alone, and God knows that his heart almost stopped when he saw the pistol.
Forget the previous things, this time Chu Yi Qiao wanted to put himself outside life and death, and he had to deal with this crazy Jiang Mian Huai by himself. What he cares about is not the child, but Chu Yi Qiao.
From the beginning to the end, the only person he was afraid for and worried about was Chu Yi Qiao.
He regretted letting Chu Yi Qiao keep this child.
“Xiao Ye, aren’t you going to see Professor Xu for class? Why are you here?” Chu Yi Qiao didn’t want Luo Qing Ye to notice his abnormality, so he turned around and walked back into the house after opening the door.
Luo Qing Ye heard a little reproach in Chu Yi Qiao’s tone, as if he was really his parent, blaming him for not studying hard and running around. If he really still had the mood to skip classes like this, he wouldn’t be so irritated.
But Chu Yi Qiao didn’t seem to have the intention to tell him.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand how he felt when he lied to Chu Yi Qiao that he was ‘bullied’ at school. It was really sad and heartbreaking to endure the bullying of someone you care about without being told.
“Ge, why did you come here?”
Chu Yi Qiao replied: “I just came back to pack up my mother’s things and see if there is anything left that I want to take away.” Then he turned and walked into the house.
“Really?”
Chu Yi Qiao’s feet paused, feeling the Alpha pheromone behind him close to him, extremely gentle, soothing his anxiety bit by bit, until a hand wrapped around his waist and his back pressed against Luo Qing Ye’s warm chest.
“I’ll ask you one more time, what are you doing here?”
Luo Qing Ye’s question came from his ear. There was no emotion in his tone, but he could feel Luo Qing Ye’s hidden temper.
Chu Yi Qiao frowned and looked at Luo Qing Ye: “What are you doing? Are you questioning me? I don’t even have the right to come back to my own home?”
But when he saw Luo Qing Ye’s expressionless face, his heart skipped a beat. This guy never treated him like this.
Suddenly, the oppressive feeling belonging to an Alpha made him a little nervous.
“Okay.” Luo Qing Ye let go of Chu Yi Qiao and took a step back, laughing out loud at the same time.
The laughter was full of powerlessness, bitterness and extremely complex emotions, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Chu Yi Qiao met the sadness in Luo Qing Ye’s eyes, and the feeling of uneasiness swept over him at the moment of distance: “What are you doing?”
He made a gesture to try to pull the person back.
Luo Qing Ye dodged the hand that was stretched out.
Chu Yi Qiao’s hand froze in mid-air, surprised that Luo Qing Ye actually dodged him.
“Chu Yi Qiao.” Luo Qing Ye called out his name.
Chu Yi Qiao frowned: “What’s wrong with you?”
“Do you think you are a superman? Do you think that as long as you do it quietly without being discovered, people will admire you? Or do you think it will be very touching if you do this?” Luo Qing Ye stared at the man in front of him. Even if he spoke calmly, people could feel the repressed anger under the calm.
Chu Yi Qiao looked at Luo Qing Ye in astonishment: “……What?”
“Why didn’t you tell me about Jiang Mian Huai’s threats? It’s been a month, why didn’t you tell me!!! Chu Yi Qiao, how many times has it been, why didn’t you say anything? Am I so untrustworthy to you!!!”
The long-brewing calm was completely broken, and the violent and irritable scolding suddenly sounded in the huge house. The emotions that were no longer suppressed were like a downpour, pouring heavily on Chu Yi Qiao, shaking his head.
Chu Yi Qiao’s body trembled. He didn’t expect Luo Qing Ye to know. He met Luo Qing Ye’s red eyes and said: “Xiao Ye, I——”
Luo Qing Ye looked at Chu Yi Qiao with red eyes: “……What am I? From the beginning to the end, you always thought I was a child who needed to be protected, right? You didn’t treat me as your Alpha, you didn’t trust me, and you still don’t trust me.”
“Chu Yi Qiao, you make me feel insecure.”
The condemnation that pierced his heart with every word left Chu Yi Qiao stunned in place, and Luo Qing Ye’s choking sobs in the last sentence completely broke the protection that he thought was the best for Luo Qing Ye.
Chu Yi Qiao turned his face away and took a deep breath. The hand beside him began to tremble uncontrollably, but he still tried his best to endure it: “Xiao Ye, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, I just think it’s not the time to tell you now. Jiang Mian Huai has gone crazy. His purpose is no longer to make money. He wants to retaliate against me. The only way to retaliate against me is to hurt you. I can’t let him hurt you. You are my bottom line.”
“You are also my bottom line!” Luo Qing Ye’s voice rose uncontrollably. Seeing Chu Yi Qiao’s eyes frightened by his voice, he suppressed his voice and forced a choking sob of compromise:
“……Chu Yi Qiao, you are also my bottom line, do you know?”
Chu Yi Qiao had never seen Luo Qing Ye like this. He had never seen Luo Qing Ye lose his temper with him. It seemed that since they met, this guy had never lost his temper with him and was trying his best to show him his best side.
He was a bit at a loss for words.
“The day you were sent to the hospital, I felt like my whole world had collapsed. I stood at the door of the ICU and stared at the light, hoping it would go out soon so that you could come out quickly.” Luo Qing Ye’s eyes were red: “I blame myself for not taking good care of you and not noticing your condition. I felt like I was going crazy for those two days. Since then, I told myself that I would never let anything happen to you again.”
“But you’ve always put yourself out of the picture, you’ve always felt that I’m more important, and you always think I’m not capable enough. You want to protect me and keep me from getting hurt. But have you forgotten, how did I grow up?”
Luo Qing Ye patted his chest with great force: “I was once pressed into the ring and forced to play a life-and-death game with a black bear. I was clearly priced to use my life for their entertainment. I was once mentally bullied, suppressed, and controlled by them. I have countless scars on my body and have met death countless times. But am I afraid? Am I dead?”
Chu Yi Qiao met Luo Qing Ye’s resolute and determined eyes, like indestructible steel, more like the sunlight that never dims, but only when he saw him, he was so steel-like, his eyes turned into tenderness. “I have nothing to fear. I am not afraid of being abandoned by my parents, nor of being bullied. I am only afraid of you. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of anything happening to you.”
Luo Qing Ye stared at Chu Yi Qiao, his vision soaked with moisture. He said word by word, choking with sobs:
“……Ge, I’m begging you, don’t be like this anymore ok, I’m your Alpha ah.”
Chu Yi Qiao had seen Luo Qing Ye cry, but he had never seen Luo Qing Ye cry like this. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was too selfish. He also suddenly remembered how he handled it when Luo Qing Ye lied to him. Since then, Luo Qing Ye has never lied to him again.
He had told Luo Qing Ye that what he hated most was people who lied.
And that’s what he became.
“Xiao Ye.” He wanted to go hug Luo Qing Ye.
Luo Qing Ye turned sideways: “Come over after you’ve made up your mind.”
Chu Yi Qiao lowered his eye and seriously reflected on his concealment. It was indeed wrong for him to do so. His subconscious concealment hurt this Alpha who had been worried about him. Just now when Luo Qing Ye said that he felt insecure, he was panicked.
“Xiao Ye, I’m wrong……” he took a small step forward, trying to get closer to Luo Qing Ye and said apologetically: “I shouldn’t have kept it from you. Yes, I received a threatening letter from Jiang Mian Huai this month. There was a secretly taken photo that has been scratched, and a bloody severed hand. It’s obvious that Jiang Mian Huai wants to touch you this time, and I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Luo Qing Ye glimpsed Chu Yi Qiao’s cautious look and quickly retracted his gaze. He knew that he couldn’t bear to lose his temper with Chu Yi Qiao, but if he didn’t say anything and indulged him again this time, Chu Yi Qiao would not realize that they were already together, and all things should be shared.
He should not keep the bitterness to himself, only telling him the happy things.
“Come over after you think about it, otherwise don’t come.”
Luo Qing Ye’s tough attitude made Chu Yi Qiao realize that he was really angry, and was angry to a fault. This was not something that could be solved by kissing and hugging. He really didn’t give Luo Qing Ye enough sense of security.
A chagrined look appeared on his face.
He looked at Luo Qing Ye just standing there with his back to him, and finally chose to walk over.
Luo Qing Ye saw Chu Yi Qiao coming over from the corner of his eye, and frowned. What’s wrong with this man? Didn’t he say to think clearly before coming? When he saw Chu Yi Qiao reaching out his hand, as expected, he wanted to hug him again and wanted to act coquettish and get away with it.
“I’m sorry.” Chu Yi Qiao saw Luo Qing Ye trying to dodge again and hugged him directly from behind, holding him tightly and not letting go: “I really think I’m wrong to do this. I shouldn’t not tell you, Xiao Ye, don’t be angry, okay?”
Luo Qing Ye’s struggle stopped abruptly. The man hugged him from behind. If he accidentally bumped Chu Yi Qiao’s belly, it would not be good. Helplessly, he had to give up and let him hug him like this.
Still silent and did not answer.
“I originally thought of not telling you that I was facing Jiang Mian Huai by myself, but now I have seriously reflected on it. I shouldn’t have ignored my Alpha like this, not telling you anything, and putting myself in danger.” Chu Yi Qiao racked his brains to coax Luo Qing Ye. He tilted his head to observe Luo Qing Ye’s expression, and saw that he still looked indifferent: “I was wrong, I’m sorry, don’t be angry, okay?”
The man’s weak and soft voice disturbed his firm and indifferent thoughts, and Luo Qing Ye’s expression loosened a little.
“I promise, if I still do this in the future, I will let you do whatever you want, okay?” Chu Yi Qiao let go of his hand and walked to face Luo Qing Ye, looking at him sincerely with expectation in his eyes, he stretched out a finger: “Just give me one more chance, the last one.”
Luo Qing Ye lowered his eyes, he looked at Chu Yi Qiao stretching out a finger towards him and looking at him with a begging look, in less than a second, all the pretended indifference instantly collapsed, and he sighed as he turned his face away.
“Chu Yi Qiao, if you make a mistake and act coquettish again next time, I really won’t forgive you.”
The tone of his voice was full of helplessness, but it was also full of love and affection for Chu Yi Qiao.
Hearing Luo Qing Ye’s answer, the gloom in Chu Yi Qiao’s eyes was covered by light, and he smiled: “Then you are not angry anymore?”
“You still dare to smile?” Luo Qing Ye pinched Chu Yi Qiao’s chin, and used a little force as a punishment, until red marks appeared on his fair skin. He rubbed it with his fingertips: “This is the last time. If you dare to put yourself in danger like this next time, don’t say you have an Alpha. Only when the Alpha dies will the Omega protect themselves.”
Chu Yi Qiao reached out to hug Luo Qing Ye again.
All the bitterness and violence in Luo Qing Ye disappeared. He released the pheromones in his body to comfort the Omega in front of him, and then gently hugged Chu Yi Qiao into his arms, patting Chu Yi Qiao’s back:
“You have to remember, Jiang Mian Huai is not only your enemy, but also someone I hate, so he is our common enemy, we should face and solve it together. This is not your personal matter. Do you understand?”
The Alpha who just got angry and cried can adjust his emotions as soon as possible to comfort his Omega.
Chu Yi Qiao rested his chin against Luo Qing Ye’s shoulder as he nodded: “I understand.”
“I’ve already told Koko that in the future, all the express mail and letters will not be given to you, you cannot read them, is that okay?”
“En.”
“I have handed over all the threatening letters and the severed hand to the police, asking them to investigate. You can’t act on your own in the future, is that okay?”
“En.”
Luo Qing Ye listened to Chu Yi Qiao’s obedient answer, and he suddenly felt like a worried old father. The pregnant Chu Yi Qiao was really a little dumber than before. Why did he take the risk to do something that could be handed over to the police?
But he didn’t dare to say it for fear of being scolded by Chu Yi Qiao.
“Also, I opened a letter today, and there is a sentence in it. ‘Did you receive the surprise? The next one is the person you care about the most, look forward to it’, it refers to me, right.”
Chu Yi Qiao raised his head violently: “You saw this sentence?!”
Luo Qing Ye felt Chu Yi Qiao’s uneasiness, and he hugged him again: “Don’t worry, he can’t show up openly, because he hasn’t achieved his goal yet, he just wants to hurt me to stimulate you. So we will use the same trick, we will still live as usual, just as if nothing happened. If he really sends something threatening, I will take it, if he uses something to ask you to go somewhere, I will go.”
“No, I—”
“Lao Po.”
Chu Yi Qiao was speechless: “……” Every time he used this title to block him.
“I don’t know if Jiang Mian Huai deliberately asked you to come to Jiang Tian Yi Su, and I don’t know what he wants you to do here. I only know that the sweeter we are now, the better, we will be the same as usual. Maybe he will be watching us somewhere, it doesn’t matter, we can still kiss.”
Luo Qing Ye said beside Chu Yi Qiao’s ear and kissed him behind the ear: “Some people just can’t stand seeing others do well. They don’t want others to get what they haven’t got. The more this happens, the more I won’t let him get what he wants. We will be very happy, so happy that he will be jealous.”
Chu Yi Qiao felt that he was most likely stupid, he should know what kind of person Jiang Mian Huai is. He just can’t stand seeing others do well, but he was actually provoked by Jiang Mian Huai and lost his composure. This is not like him at all:
“Xiao Ye, I suddenly feel as if I’ve become stupid.”
Luo Qing Ye laughed out softly: “It’s okay, even if you become stupid, you are still my favourite Lao Po, smile more, you look the best when you smile. Have a good sleep tonight, okay?”
“Okay.”
At the angle that Chu Yi Qiao couldn’t see, Luo Qing Ye looked outside with a gradually gloomy gaze.
Jiang Mian Huai, show up if you have the ability.
He’s waiting.
