Chapter 36 - 2.8 Third Small Star – Silly Husband
Wu Wan Conservatoire had fallen into chaos.
There are two reasons: First, a famed professor had gotten buried under one of the greenhouse's roof which collapsed during his lessons.
And Second, the Demon King had gone mad.
This accident caused disorder in the whole conservatoire. They would have never expected that the ceiling of one of the greenhouses would suddenly just collapse like that, almost burying one of their professors alive.
Moreover, the professor involved in the accident was not just someone. It was Hei Xue. The King of music industry, Wan Lengya's former wife. It is no wonder that the owner had gone mad from anger when he heard that his lover got hurt. After all the conservatoire is his own territory. If he couldn't even protect his own lover within his own land which is absurd.
When someone told Wan Lengya the news of his former wife getting involved in that accident, the one who informed him was almost killed by him. The messenger was almost choked to death by Wan Lengya who heard the news. If not for Yue Wuya who successfully calmed his friend down that the messenger would have suffocated on the spot.
Arriving at the hospital.
Entering one of the VIP rooms under Hei Xue's name.
Wan Lengya saw Hei Xue covered in white bandages once again, making him remember the events that happened 3 years ago. But the scene before him is worse than before.
3 years ago, he can only see his wife's finger covered in white but this time he can see through his slightly opened hospital robes. Within those robe are almost countless of white bandages layered on that thin body. Even with the bandage it couldn't even completely stop the bleeding tainting the white cloth with hints of crimson.
Observing Hei Xue closely from head to toe. Wan Lengya even saw his former wife's head was covered with the same white thing and his now ashen face covered in small glass scratches making his face looked miserable. Seeing this state of Hei Xue made Wan Lengya's heart full of remorse and regret. Ah! He came too late again. His love was harmed even thought he is supposed to be under his protection. Wan Lengya felt that everything he had in this moment is so useless.
As if noticing that someone entered his room, Hei Xue's celestial blue irises wondered towards the door to see who came for him. When it meets with Lengya's silver orbs, those azure eyes were blank as if it lost his soul. There is no emotions, no feelings, even a single hint of life in it was not found. As if this person is already dead in the world. But when this person recognized that it was Wan Lengya who came, a few bits of life glinted within those deep sea colored orb. His reaction is akin to those people who was suddenly given a will to live yet for some reason it only took a second for it to be extinguished. No one knew what this lonely man had recalled. Wan Lengya could only watch as Hei Xue lowered his head instantly as if it's one of his defensive measures.
With his slight trembling and hoarse voice, Hei Xue spoke. "Why... are you… here?" asked as he lowered his gaze, not wishing to see Wan Lengya's figure.
Seeing his wife's hesitation and fragility, Wan Lengya seriously wished that it was him who suffered in his instead. This reaction from his former wife is something he caused himself. He knew the reason why his wife never called him to inform about his situation despite of him knowing his phone number. Regardless of waking up in the hospital with nothing is wrong with his memories. This is something he sowed himself. A result that was made because of his wrong choices.
Once he recalled what happened 3 years ago, when his wife had gone missing and was said to be involved in some incident, only made Wan Lengya clearly realized that he is a scum. That familiar event of getting hospitalized is nothing new. Few years ago, Hei Xue who is still named as Wu Xue that time and was his wife on paper had been brought to the hospital after being rescued from his kidnapping event.
According to the police he got accidentally involved in that case and was taken as well. Wu Xue had gone missing for three days. He first disappeared after getting a usual check up in his accustomed hospital. The witnessed in that moment said that he was grabbed together with another young man waiting at the hospital entrance. They were forcefully pushed in a black van and was taken away. At that time Wan Lengya didn't know what happened as he was out of country attending an international concur in France. He is their country's representative at that time.
When he returned in the country on the third day of Wu Xue's missing event, Lengya even received countless phone calls from Wu Xue at that time, but thinking that it was nothing important Lengya never answered it even once. He would never expected that those phone calls were his wife's cry for help. Reminiscing this shitty event made him remember how much of an asshole he is.
Wan Lengya is a good-for-nothing in his former wife's eyes that he never even once thought of wasting his time to call him this time just to ask him to help him. The trauma he caused 3 years ago was deeply buried in Xue's heart. Even though they've gotten a bit closer in this few months, what he had already done cannot be undone. It was a fact that he had a case of negligence of protecting Hei Xue before and this time he failed once again. He is an utter failure.
Avoiding to meet Lengya's eyes, Hei Xue continues to speak his prepared lines. "I... I cannot continue teaching with these injuries. I will have Hei Yu prepare my dismissal procedure then I..."
Hei Xue couldn't complete what he wanted to say. Wan Lengya suddenly pulled him into a tight hugged. The hug was overwhelming that it made Xue unable to continue speaking. The pain from his injuries had spread in his body, this is because the man had embraced him with uncontrolled strength. He could already imagine his wounds reopening. Well this will allow Lengya to feel even sorry for him, he doesn't mind deepening his feeling of distress towards me.
A hoarse but gentle voice with hints of tenderness thought the scolding tone reached his ears, "Don't say that. Please don't say anything anymore. I'm sorry. S-Sorry... I… let you… get hurt again. I'm sorry. Please don't leave me again, Xue'er." said Wan Lengya as he slightly tightens his arms around with Xue.
Hei Xue could even feel this man slightly trembling. Wan Lengya's breathing tickles his neck as the man leans his head on the top of Xue's shoulder. Hei Xue could feel the warm droplets falling on his neck. It is very evident that this person in front of him was so frightened that even his tears fell uncontrollably upon seeing him his state. This isn't the first time he had seen his husband cry.
During their first lifetime his husband cried the same way when he got kidnapped by a rival company once. He had gone missing for one whole day while the kidnappers contacted his husband as they asked for a ransom. His husband received numerous threatening messages saying that once his husband failed to give them what they wanted, something terrible would happen to him, his wife. Though in the end, he was rescued personally by his husband before the day even ended.
After that, his husband as if he had gone crazy had demolished that rival company, who is the mastermind of the kidnapping. Startling even him after watching the footage his system had secretly recorded. Well it was his orders to have the whole event recorded for a solid proof thought it wasn't used in the end as his husband took a different approached to punish those men.
The video of cruelty and inhumanity. Seeing how much his husband tortured those humans. Those people were treated even worse than pigs in the slaughterhouses. Wang Tian had starve them for a week. Without even being given anything to eat or drink. These people could only slowly eat their nails to their fingers and drink their own piss, flesh and blood, to live. There are some who crook faster than cockroaches what can you expected.
Once the whole week had passed, Wang Tian had offered them a single glass of water at the state where starvation is already beyond their control. His husband let them fight for that single glass of water. Fight to death. Only for the winner to end up eating the flesh of his own people to survive and be killed slowly with his limbs getting cut one at a time. His husband is a demon through and through, only in front of him that he becomes human.
Only then that he understood how much this man loves him. His deep feeling was enough to become an obsession. This obsession allowed the man to follow him even in this second world. This man is a cruel and obsessive like a demon king who wouldn't let him escape even if he ran away to the other worlds. He knows that this man will follow him even in hell.
After experiencing the care and love he is giving him, Hei Xue finally decided to forgive him.
Slightly struggling because he is in pain, Hei Xue continues to fidgets in his man's embrace. Wan Lengya who thought his wife wanted to leave him tightens his arms around him, not allowing the latter to escape his embrace. He hugs him as if he wanted to embedded Xue in his own body so that no one else would be able to take him away from him. His possessive side isn't willing to let go of his love.
Wan Lengya was so deep in his thoughts that he had forgotten to control the strength of his arms. Only until he felt a pain on his neck which instantly brought him back to reality, that made him sober. It seems that his wife had bitten him out of anger.
Lengya hissed in pain and lessened the strength of his hug, but still doesn't intends to let go of his wife, keeping his arms around his waist.
"Hiss! W-Wife?"
When he looks down at his wife's small figure, Wan Lengya saw Xue glaring at him with scolding eyes but not of hatred. He felt relief, but at the same time unease when he saw Hei Xue giving him that reprimanding look as if he really did something to wronged him.
Glaring at his husband, "Do you not see me injured!? I'm already in pain! Why do you hug me with that much strength!? Do you want to kill me!?" scolding Hei Xue.
Hearing his wife's accusation, Wan Lengya stutters in his reply, "N-No I..."
Only when he saw the blood on his wife white bandages spreading more than usual that he panicked and called for a doctor in a hurry.
"Doctor! Doctor please come over! Wife... My wife is bleeding!"
Wan Lengya shouted in the hallway causing commotion and misunderstanding within the hospital. His shouts made others in the hospital think that this husband's wife was bleeding and was about to give birth.
Hahaha~
Hearing his husband's usual silliness, Hei Xue couldn't help but laughed at Lengya.
