DL Chapter27

“Don’t cry, it’s all my fault.”

 

Fang Fengzhi paused, his teeth chattered a few times, and he clenched them tightly. The sadness and grievances of the past few years were so full that they were about to burst through his heart, and that place was sore and painful. His chest was so blocked that he couldn’t breathe. He wanted to take a few quick breaths, but as soon as his teeth loosened, the sound that could no longer be held back burst out from his throat like a mournful cry.

 

He could not stop crying, and the sadness in his chest could no longer be contained, rushing out from his heart, filling his entire body with this sorrow.

 

Min Zhi didn’t say anything, but Fang Fengzhi could feel his warm palms caressing his back up and down. His heart ached and swelled abnormally, and he couldn’t stop crying. He unconsciously stretched out his hands and tightly wrapped them around Min Zhi’s waist, as if he could only rely on him, and huddled into his arms.

 

From beginning to end, this man never asked him why he was crying, nor did he get angry because of his struggle, and he didn’t even make excuses for his behavior. He just hugged him and took all the blame. He completely separated Fang Fengzhi from this wrong s*xual affair.

 

Fang Fengzhi cried louder and louder and couldn’t stop, tears and snot flowed out together. Min Zhi was like a blunt knife, gently, little by little, cutting a hole in his heart. It didn’t hurt, but it made him let out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

 

He didn’t want to show his annoying side in front of the man. It was just that he hadn’t been treated so gently for a long time.

 

His brain felt like it had been soaked in boiling water, and now it was all melted. It’s both hot and dizzy. Fang Fengzhi was tired from crying, his eyes were swollen like the bottoms of a peach. He didn’t know since when he and Min Zhi had laid on the bed, but Min Zhi still held him in his arms, his palms on his back.

 

His crying gradually stopped. He curled up in the man’s arms and sniffed. A few drops of tears that had not yet completely dried out slowly rolled out.

 

Min Zhi held him in silence, saying nothing until Fang Fengzhi’s sobs finally faded. Only then did he loosen his embrace slightly. Lowering his head, he saw Fang Fengzhi lying still, refusing to look up, curled up against him like a turtle, perhaps out of shame. Min Zhi didn’t push him, merely gave a light pinch to the back of his neck.

 

His gland was rubbed by the rough palm, which made Fang Fengzhi tremble all over. He heard Min Zhi’s hoarse and tired voice coming from above his head, “I’m very tired, I need to sleep for a while…”

 

Fang Fengzhi moved his head and slowly raised his eyes to look at Min Zhi, just in time to meet the man’s gaze. He truly looked exhausted, his eyelids so heavy he could barely keep them open, gazing at him with drooping eyes.

 

Fang Fengzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and he was so nervous that he wanted to lower his head again. He opened his mouth to speak but found that his throat was hoarse from crying, and he couldn’t make any sound.

 

The gland that was bitten to pieces was stroked again. “Go drink some water by yourself.”

 

After saying that, Min Zhi closed his eyes, and soon his breathing became smooth and even, and he fell asleep.

 

Fang Fengzhi remained still in his arms for a long while, his mind drifting to the pile of inhibitors scattered on the floor.

 

Could it be that he has been using all those inhibitors in the past few days?

 

This is not impossible. Min Zhi is an enigma. Logically speaking, the estrus period of an enigma is longer than that of an alpha, and their pheromones and desires are much stronger. If he did not use inhibitors, he might have been marked by the irrational enigma already.

 

Fang Fengzhi couldn’t help but feel guilty. His body would definitely not be able to handle using so many inhibitors. Just now, he even forced himself to comfort him while he was crying and making a fuss. In comparison with what happened before, he was simply being unreasonable.

 

Noticing the transparent mess on Min Zhi’s chest, such as tears, snot, and possibly even his own saliva, Fang Fengzhi flushed with embarrassment and quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe it clean. As if that weren’t enough, he rose from the bed, his lower body so numb he nearly collapsed to the floor. Unable to find his own clothes nearby, he had no choice but to pull on Min Zhi’s oversized shirt and pants, then steadied himself against the wall as he made his way to the bathroom. He wet the towel and gently wiped Min Zhi clean.

 

He went to drink some water and searched for his cell phone for a long time. There were four or five missed calls on it, all from Fu Baiqi.

 

Fang Fengzhi’s hand unconsciously pinched his phone, opened the door, and walked out. When the housekeeper saw him coming out, she smiled and approached him. She politely said nothing but just asked, “Do you need me to go in and clean up?”

 

Thinking of the miserable situation in the room, Fang Fengzhi’s face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, “No, no need, he hasn’t woken up yet…”

 

“Then are you hungry now? I’ll make you something to eat.”

 

Fang Fengzhi nodded, “Thank you.”

 

After the auntie left, Fang Fengzhi stood there for a while, then walked aside and called Fu Baiqi.

 

The call was connected quickly, but no one spoke.

 

Fang Fengzhi called out tentatively, “Baiqi?”

 

After a while, Fu Baiqi’s cold voice came from the other side, “Where are you now?”

 

Fang Fengzhi didn’t say anything. From the tone of his voice, Fu Baiqi must have returned to the apartment and found that he was not at home. He didn’t know if he had found any evidence of what he and Min Zhi had done or not. Fang Fengzhi could only remain silent, not knowing what to say.

 

Not hearing any answer, Fu Baiqi frowned tightly.

 

He went back the day Fang Fengzhi called him. He had not dared to go back since he impulsively marked Fang Fengzhi last time. His pheromones matched Fang Fengzhi too well. If they bumped into each other at this time, he would definitely not be able to hold back even if he took inhibitors. He was worried that he would completely mark Fang Fengzhi, so he never went back home.

 

But after Fang Fengzhi called him that day, for some reason, he kept thinking about it and couldn’t sleep at night. Finally, he couldn’t help but go back to the apartment.

 

The apartment was dark. As soon as Fu Baiqi entered the house, he smelled a strong and pungent pheromone that did not belong to Fang Fengzhi. It was like an S-level Alpha, or even stronger. This smell was very familiar. He must have smelled it somewhere before. At this moment, it was entangled with the scent of chamomile, very intimate. Fu Baiqi frowned and secretly felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.

 

He felt that he was bewitched by pheromones and had a possessive desire. He was now hot all over, as if he was in heat.

 

He walked into Fang Fengzhi’s room and turned on the light.

 

There was no one inside, only a messy quilt and several tubes of used inhibitors. Somehow, Fu Baiqi suddenly remembered the bottle of pheromone extract he found in Fang Fengzhi’s bedroom.

 

Did Fang Fengzhi rely on that to get through the estrus period? But he was the one who marked him, so he should only be able to rely on his pheromones. He opened the drawer and did not find the bottle of reagent. The thought that Fang Fengzhi might have cheated crossed his mind briefly but was quickly dismissed. Not to mention whether Fang Fengzhi had the nerve to do such a thing, could he even manage to attract someone with such a high-level pheromone like that?

 

There was no way to stay here any longer, so Fu Baiqi turned around and left while calling Fang Fengzhi.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

Fang Fengzhi’s voice brought Fu Baiqi back.

 

“You…” Fu Baiqi paused. Fang Fengzhi did not answer his question, which made him feel something was wrong. “Who are you with now?”

 

Fang Fengzhi looked at his toes and still did not answer Fu Baiqi’s question. After a long time, when Fu Baiqi called his name impatiently, Fang Fengzhi suddenly asked another irrelevant question, “After we got married, have you done it with others?”

 

This was a question that had troubled him for a long time. He had never known how to ask it, but at this moment, perhaps because he was at the end of his rope and didn’t want to care about anything anymore, he didn’t want to suffer any longer, so he just blurted it out.

 

The person on the other side was silent, just like he was before.

 

Fang Fengzhi knew the answer.

 

Finally.

 

He had always wanted to take things slow with Fu Baiqi and slowly develop their relationship. But he waited for two years in vain and got this result.

 

Fu Baiqi had no feelings for him, he never had.

 

But at that moment, Fang Fengzhi didn’t feel sad. In fact, he found that the sadness seemed almost trivial. It was as if a weight had been lifted off his chest, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 

Fortunately. Fortunately, he was not the first to betray their marriage. Fortunately, as he guessed, Fu Baiqi already had someone else.

 

He slowly raised his head and exhaled a long breath. Then he said, “Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau sometime.” There was no need to continue a marriage at this point.

 

But unexpectedly, Fu Baiqi, who was on the other side, didn’t say anything.

 

After a while, he said something else. “Bai Zhen and I have broken up.”

 

Fang Fengzhi’s pupils moved. They all knew the meaning of this sentence.

 

Feeling bitter in his heart, Fang Fengzhi gritted his teeth but pretended not to understand and let out an “en” without saying anything else.

 

He didn’t expect Fu Baiqi to try to save their marriage, but it was too late. If it had been a few days earlier, it would have been better. As long as Fu Baiqi showed a little reluctance to him, he would have insisted on it without hesitation. But now it was too late. There was no loyalty between the two parties. What was the point of dragging it on?
