Chapter 159 (Do You Love Me?) With Tearful Eyes, Lin Wenxi Asked Zhao Yuan Who Failed to Give Him an Answer.

Everyone should remember that day and that moment when the sunlight flooded the earth but could not penetrate the dark clouds to shine into people’s hearts because an earthquake had struck the southwestern part of China at that time. It was a violent earthquake which had spread over dozens of provinces across the country.

The disaster continually punched the numbness heart of every student. Those students couldn’t help cheerfully celebrating every life that was rescued on the news. Whenever the news broadcasted the number of deaths, the students of Jifu University would always get together in small groups and tribute in silence.

On the same day, the student union began to act. Like snowflakes, letters of sympathy landed on the city, which was remote and strange to those students. The student union paid close attention and care to those students who had relatives in the disaster area. The school association of the small city also organized rescue teams to support. Besides that, the association called on all the universities to make their contributions.

Lin Wenxi’s phone rang constantly. Hong Xuan had searched around the whole school. He saw Zhao Yuan, who was being bandaged, but he could not find Lin Wenxi, who already hid in the bathroom after seeing Hong Xuan coming with his men through the window.

“Didn’t Wenxi go back to school?” Hong Xuan asked.

Zhao Yuan shook his head in silence.

“You! Go to find him with me! Find the place wherever he probably would go!” Hong Xuan grabbed Zhao Yuan’s collar.

“He still needs to take CT, and he has vomited blood. So you cannot take him away.” A nurse rushed from the side. “Don’t give us any problems! There are still many students injured in school!”

“Did you see anyone come in with this person?” Hong Xuan asked the nurse sharply. Hong Xuan rushed to the Feiyi Garments Co., Ltd. But it was already an empty place with no one there. When he rushed downstairs, he saw his disappointing men run to him, and he immediately knew that they left Lin Wenxi alone. On his way back to Jifu University, the earthquake occurred so that he was stuck in traffic. When the unlucky Hong Xuan ran all the way here with his men, he was already in a great rage.

“I don’t know. The doctor told me to see him.” The nurse was so scared that she whispered the answer. The nurse certainly knew Lin Wenxi because he was a frequent visitor to the hospital. He would come here either by himself or accompany others. But Hong Xuan rushed in like the dark-faced Lord Yama King. How dare the nurse tell him where Lin Wenxi go?

Once again, Hong Xuan searched around the hospital. Though he tried in every possible way, he still couldn’t find Lin Wenxi. In a fury, he reproached his three subordinates and dashed out in a hurry.

After a little while, Hong Xuan turned around to look for Lin Wenxi in the hospital again. Zhao Yuan had left for a CT scan. Several nurses threatened to call the police, so Hong Xuan left the hospital with a gloomy face.

Lin Wenxi looked at the figure of Hong Xuan from the window, smile faintly. Several times in previous when Lin Wenxi hid to avoid Hong Xuan, Lin Wenxi had fallen for this trick several times as Hong Xuan tried to find him. So how could it be possible that Lin Wenxi would fall into the same trap again?

“Why did you hide from Uncle Zhao Yuan?” Zhao Yuan asked with some difficulty. “Did he want to bring you back home?”

Lin Wenxi nodded in silence and said, “You should not talk so much.”

“Tonight, I will sleep here. Hong Xuan failed to catch me here; then, he will wait for me at my dorm. Fortunately, there is no surveillance in corridors both in the hospital and in the dormitory building.” Lin Wenxi stretched out his hands. “How do you feel?”

“I’m okay.” Zhao Yuan smiled softly. “I’m tough enough.”

“You don’t have to explain the thing that happened on that day. I believe in you. You must have your reasons. I also have my reasons for the thing occurred last night, so please don’t ask me either. I want to stay quietly with you. Is that okay?” Lin Wenxi said.

As a matter of fact, there were thousands of words in Zhao Yuan’s heart that he would like to say to Lin Wenxi. On that day, he was ready to give his life to protect Lin Wenxi, who was right before him. But it seemed that he was singing his own praises if he gave such an explanation. If Wenxi could truly understand him, he might figure out Zhao Yuan’s intention by himself. But if Wenxi speculated that Zhao Yuan was blinded by hatred so that Zhao Yuan could bear to lay hands on him, there would be no need for Zhao Yuan to explain. All of a sudden, Zhao Yuan was fully aware of how eagerly he wished that Lin Wenxi could understand him even without any explanation.

A surge of sourness suddenly struck Zhao Yuan’s heart.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan did not want to say more about his plans in the future. All the things he had done were all in vain. He certainly would not join the Mo family. Now that he knew who killed his son, he had to make another plan.

“But Wenxi, the whole night last night, did Mo Qian really do nothing to him?” Zhao Yuan couldn’t help feeling intensely worried. However, he could only silently hope that Mo Qian behaved as a businessman, not as the Mo Qian in Mo family at that time.

Respectively, a few people came to visit them in the hospital. After they saw that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were all fine, they felt relieved and left. Until late at night, the ward finally quieted down.

Leaning against Zhao Yuan’s arms, Lin Wenxi felt that it was hard for him to fall asleep.

“Are you still awake?” Zhao Yuan asked.

Lin Wenxi did not move.

“When you are asleep, your eyelashes won’t shine bat so frequently.” Zhao Yuan said.

Lin Wenxi opened his eyes. The moonshine flowed into his bright eyes like streams of water.

“I’m sorry.” Zhao Yuan said, “I always bring trouble to you.”

“We don’t need to feel sorry for each other. You don’t remember how many times you were injured because of me. But I remember.” “Perhaps, we don’t have this fate, always. So things between us always become mistakes after some accidental events. Experiencing so many ups and downs, I feel exhausted sometimes.”

“I knew you when I was six years old. At that time, you were only at the age of four. We had lived together for half a year. From then on, there is fate between us.” Zhao Yuan said.

“Yuan, on a rainy day before, you carried me and walked on the field ridge while I held a large lotus leaf. Did you remember what you told me at that time?” Lin Wenxi asked.

“I remember that I have carried you several times, no matter whether it was raining or not. It is hard for me to recall the words I said ten more years ago. How do you still remember it so clearly? Is there anything special?”

“Nothing too special. Something said by a child. Why take it seriously?” Lin Wenxi smiled gently.

“Did I say that I would take you to catch loaches?”

“Or did I say that I would take you to travel?”

“Or did I say that I would make money to buy apples for you?”

“You said all of the above.” Lin Wenxi said with a smile. “Yuan, hold me tight.”

“Fangfang, it turns out that I am the only person who calls you like this...”

Zhao Yuan held Lin Wenxi tight into his arms. At this moment, how he wished he could he empty his body and put Lin Wenxi in. In this way, Zhao Yuan would bring Lin Wenxi with him wherever he went.

“Yuan, sometimes, I really want to get into your belly, and I will never want to come out again.”

Zhao Yuan was slightly startled. “I thought so, too. Then, I will give birth to you.”

“Yuan, do you love me?” Lin Wenxi asked.

It seemed that everything suddenly went quiet in the night. At this time, Zhao Yuan could hear his heartbeat.

“I want you to say truthfully what you think.” Lin Wenxi demanded.

“I have never loved anyone. I only know that I can die for you. I also know that you are the most important person for me.”

“But you can also give up your life for your families. You can even help your best friends at the loss of your life.” Lin Wenxi argued.

“Wenxi, can we talk about this after a while? I don’t want to lie to you. I just can’t say it...” Zhao Yuan hold Lin Wenxi tight in his arms. Suddenly, he remembered Zheng Ziheng, who suicided for the love of his father. He also recalled Yun Che and Zhu Ziping who were always together like birds flying and nesting with each other. However, Zhao Yuan would infinitely drift around in the stream of revenge in the future. Facing so fierce and powerful enemies, Zhao Yuan couldn’t promise Lin Wenxi a stable life. If what happened on Zheng Zihuan represented love, Zhao Yuan just didn’t want himself and Lin Wenxi to end up like Zheng Ziheng.

“I see.” Lin Wenxi made no sound.

That night, Lin Wenxi turned on his phone and saw a text message from Hong Xuan. “The earthquake has affected the schools in many poverty-stricken towns. Your father has gone to the countryside to inspect. I feel worried about his safety, so I will go to accompany him. I also left some of my men to protect you. Being a true man should shoulder his own responsibility. Hence, a man should either devise strategies in official or business circles or fight against the enemy on the battlefield. No matter what happened to you, you should always remember that you are a man.”

Zhao Yuan slept like a log this night. It seemed that he hadn’t slept so well and peacefully for a long time. When he woke up in the morning light with a smile, he felt that his life never seemed to be so beautiful.

It was just that the bed next to him was empty and had become cold.

When Zhao Yuan was crazily searching for Lin Wenxi, someone told him that Lin Wenxi had already gone to the southwest area, a place which still had many aftershocks and was full of danger, as one of his school’s first batch of volunteers.
