DL Chapter63

Xu Wen had been waiting downstairs in the hospital. He waited for a long time, but no one came down. He felt anxious. The task Min Zhi assigned to him at the beginning was to prevent Fang Fengzhi from leaving the house, which was illegal imprisonment in a sense.

 

From the very beginning, something about this situation had felt off. Whether it was Min Zhi losing control and clashing with Fu Baiqi or demanding him to do such a thing, he had tried to persuade him, but Min Zhi had been unwavering, giving him no room to refuse. Xu Wen had been by Min Zhi’s side for many years and knew his character well, but this incident completely shattered his perception.

 

He only knew that Fang Fengzhi was very important to him.

 

Xu Wen couldn’t wait any longer. He was about to head upstairs when he saw Fang Fengzhi walking out of the hospital entrance, his face looking somewhat pale. Xu Wen quickly jogged over. “Mr. Fang, are you alright?”

 

“I’m fine.” Fang Fengzhi followed him into the car. As the car started, Fang Fengzhi’s phone vibrated. He unlocked it, and as the screen lit up, Xu Wen unintentionally glanced over. The message displayed was from an unknown number, and Xu Wen quickly caught a glimpse of a few words—

 

[If anything happens, you can always come to me.]

 

Fang Fengzhi glanced at it briefly before turning it off without replying. His gaze shifted to the window, seemingly lost in thought. Just as they were about to reach the hospital entrance, he suddenly spoke, “Please stop the car.”

 

“Is there anything else?”

 

“Mr. Xu, you can head back first. I still have something to do.” Fang Fengzhi tried to open the car door, only to find it locked.

 

“Mr. Xu?”

 

Xu Wen paused for a second. He recalled his brief conversation with Min Zhi earlier today. Despite his initial firm determination to confine the Omega in his own house, when it came to the topic of the ring, he had sighed, speaking helplessly, “You should listen to him.”

 

Xu Wen looked up and exchanged a glance with the driver, who then opened the car door.

 

“Mr. Fang, are you sure you don’t want to wait for him?”

 

Fang Fengzhi shook his head. “No need, you’ve worked hard today.”

 

“Not at all.”

 

The special prison was different from the research facility; the room’s equipment was simpler, with glass walls on all sides and guards stationed at the door 24/7. All of Min Zhi’s communication devices had been confiscated, but since he was not yet fully confined to prison, he was not completely cut off from receiving information from the outside world.

 

The violent incident this time was suppressed by the government. Since he is an enigma, such an event, if exposed, could easily cause panic and severely damage the reputation of the enigma community. After all, there are enigma leaders at the top, and they would never allow such things to happen. They directly transferred Min Zhi here, making it so even the police station had no authority to intervene.

 

Min Zhi wasn’t worried about being detained for long. This prison held dangerous individuals whose high-level pheromones were uncontrollable. He was currently being classified as someone who had caused violent issues due to pheromone instability, but in reality, he had been very clear-headed at the time. Before coming here, he had even visited the facility. As long as the situation was ultimately labeled as a personal dispute that led to a conflict, it would be much easier to handle. At most, he would be out in a month. Even if Fu Baiqi pressed charges, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir either.

 

What was troubling him now was Fang Fengzhi.

 

He didn’t know what Fang Fengzhi was thinking. A few hours ago, when he saw the ring Fang Fengzhi handed to Xu Wen, his heart tightened, but Min Zhi didn’t panic too much. He didn’t want to push Fang Fengzhi too hard. As long as he had marked him, that was enough. It was a mark that could only be done once in a lifetime. Fang Fengzhi could be angry or upset as much as he wanted, and Min Zhi would endure it. He could even let Fang Fengzhi do whatever he wanted. The mark was like a cage, trapping Fang Fengzhi inside, and Min Zhi could indulge him in anything he did within it.

 

Although he thought so in his heart, the longer he stayed in prison, the more uneasy Min Zhi felt. Especially when he learned from Xu Wen that Fang Fengzhi went to the hospital and then received a message from Fu Baiqi. Fu Baiqi’s glands were damaged, and even if he was the destined one, it would be impossible for him to recover to have an uncontrollable influence on Fang Fengzhi. But it cannot be ruled out that he would not take advantage of the situation during this period and rekindle the old love. He trusted Fang Fengzhi’s feelings for him, but he also believed that the emotions he once had for him wouldn’t fade so easily. In addition, his tough behavior that day may have scared the omega, and he didn’t know if Fang Fengzhi would be afraid and run away because of this or not.

 

He feels at ease only when he is with him all the time.

 

Just as Min Zhi thought, he was released from prison in less than a month without any obstacles. For unknown reasons, he did not receive any lawsuit from Fu Baiqi. He returned home unhindered.

 

As he stood at his front door, an unfamiliar wave of nervousness washed over him, it was something he had never experienced before. He took a moment to steady his breathing, then slowly pushed the door open.

 

When he stepped into the villa, he did not smell the chamomile scent he had been longing for, which meant that the owner of the pheromone was not in the villa. Min Zhi had no expression on his face, closed the door, and then spoke.

 

“Fang Fengzhi.”

 

There was no response, but he didn’t give up. He dialed the Omega’s number and walked to the living room step by step. There was no one on the sofa, in the kitchen, or in the guest room.

 

No one answered the phone.

 

The whole villa was empty, no one was there.

 

Min Zhi closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself down. He opened his eyes again after his trembling breathing regained its composure.

 

He regretted it, even if he had marked Fang Fengzhi, he should not have let him go. He should have let him stay in the villa and have someone watch him and lock him up. Min Zhi picked up his phone and called Xu Wen, then walked downstairs with a calm look. He admitted that he was a little irrational now, but he had to find Fang Fengzhi.

 

At the same time as the call was connected, the door opened.

 

Min Zhi paused.

 

The familiar pheromones came from the entrance, and footsteps were heard from there. Soon, someone appeared in Min Zhi’s sight.

 

The person was also stunned when he saw him. “Mr. Min?”

 

“When did you come back?”

 

Min Zhi looked at him straight. Xu Wen Hui who was on the other end of the phone was still waiting for him to speak, but Min Zhi hung up directly. He walked a few steps to Fang Fengzhi, bent down and hugged him, and then took a deep breath.

 

“Where did you go?”

 

“My friend from town came to play here, so I went to keep him company.”

 

He carried the scent of chamomile mixed with a faint, unfamiliar grassy aroma. “Are you having fun?” He said as he lowered his head and kissed the omega’s eyelids, cheeks, and lips.

 

“Hmm…” Fang Fengzhi obediently let Min Zhi kiss him for a while, then pushed him gently.

 

“Are you… okay now?” He was referring to the prison situation.

 

“Yes.”

 

“So they didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”

 

Min Zhi looked at him, frowning, and couldn’t help but smile. “No.”

 

Seeing Fang Fengzhi looking relieved, Min Zhi lowered his head and kissed his eyes again. “Have you been waiting for me at home all this time?”

 

Fang Fengzhi glanced at him and nodded.

 

Min Zhi’s heart was pounding so fast that it left him feeling completely at ease. He opened his mouth and took a bite of Fang Fengzhi’s soft cheek flesh, sucked it into his mouth, and only let go contentedly after sucking a mouthful of soft flesh.

 

“Xu Wen told me to go find Fu Baiqi.”

 

“What did he say?”

 

Fang Fengzhi paused.

 

After leaving that day, he received a message from Fu Baiqi and returned to the ward. Fu Baiqi had already changed the bandage and was leaning there weakly. When he saw Fang Fengzhi coming in, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he slowly got up.

 

He thought Fang Fengzhi had changed his mind.

 

But the first thing Fang Fengzhi said was to call him. “Mr. Fu.”

 

Fu Baiqi’s heart sank, and he heard Fang Fengzhi continue, “Min Zhi proposed to me.” Fang Fengzhi lowered his head and did not look into Fu Baiqi’s eyes.

 

“The matter between him and me is something we’ll settle ourselves.”

 

“Don’t contact me again.”

 

Yes, he came back here not because he regretted his decision, but because he wanted to completely sever ties with him for fear that his partner would misunderstand him.

 

Fang Fengzhi knew what kind of person Min Zhi was, as he had been with him day and night for such a long time. No matter what happened between them, outsiders should not interfere; otherwise, who knows what Min Zhi would do?

 

Fu Baiqi did not say a word from beginning to end. He touched his chest, which was painful. He remembered the notebook he saw at his parents’ house that day when he was in school. It was exactly the same as the one he saw in Fang Fengzhi’s suitcase. Often, memories can only be stirred by certain remnants of the past. When he saw the notebook, he remembered the one in Fang Fengzhi’s hand, which he gave to him personally, but Fang Fengzhi kept it until now.

 

He was lost in thought, reflecting on Fang Fengzhi’s suitcase that he had discarded in a moment of anger. No matter how hard he tried to understand why he had reached out to Fang Fengzhi, the reason remained unclear, he just knew he wanted to see him and talk once more.

 

He thought he was still reluctant to let go of Fang Fengzhi.

 

Unfortunately, no one answered the call, and he finally received a message from Min Zhi.

 

For a long time, he believed that if it was fate, then he and Fang Fengzhi were meant to be together. But afterward, a phrase kept coming to mind: “fate without destiny.” Since their meeting, he wondered if a single misstep along the way might have prevented them from reaching this point.

 

Fang Fengzhi raised his head and saw Fu Baiqi’s pale face. He paused for a second but did not say anything. He quickly turned around and said, “I’m leaving first.” No matter what Fu Baiqi thought of him, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

 

Now, catching the strong scent of gunpowder on Min Zhi, he wrapped his arms around his waist and said, “There’s nothing between him and me anymore.”

 

As if he understood Fang Fengzhi’s meaning, the man narrowed his eyes, looked at him solemnly for a while, and suddenly kissed his lips,

 

“I trust you.”
