AWDC Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Relationship Rupture

Small rain began to fall outside the window, drifting like fine cow hair, silently moistening things, and the temperature dropped again.

Before long, the room was also affected. The originally dry and hot air gradually cooled, and the drunken man gradually sobered up as he released the heat that had been suppressed for a long time.

Lin Xi was already numb with pain, and a pool of bright red was left on the sheets.

Mu Chuang opened his gradually clearing eyes, and his blood vessels almost burst when he saw the scene in front of him.

“What’s going on? What did I do?” His mind was full of doubts, not quite believing that he had done it, and even less able to accept the reality.

The light in the room was always on, and Lin Xi didn’t have time to turn it off before going to bed. Now all the traces on the bed were clear at a glance, and Mu Chuang almost went crazy.

“Lin Xi, get up for me, what are you pretending to be?” He shook his shoulder, unable to control the fire in his heart, “Why didn’t you stop me? Why didn’t you resist?”

Lin Xi wasn’t asleep, but he was in pain all over from being tossed around, which made him weak and dizzy. Hearing the other party’s words, he immediately woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes still with undried tear stains, looking at the man on him who was full of blame, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Brother Chuang…” he said weakly, “…you’re drunk, I can’t resist.”

Mu Chuang’s face turned black when he heard this, “I’m drunk, but you’re not. If you really wanted to resist, wouldn’t a sober person be able to beat a confused person?”

“What is your brain for? Don’t you know how to think of a way?” He suppressed his anger, but his tone was still a bit fierce, “What now? With something like this happening, do you think we can still get along calmly?”

“We can,” Lin Xi said without much confidence, “As long as you don’t mind, I can pretend that nothing happened.”

“Heh~” Mu Chuang showed a mocking expression, not lightly stimulated by Lin Xi’s words, “What happened happened, how can you pretend it didn’t happen? Is there something wrong with your brain?!”

“You were always thinking wildly before, acting strangely, I thought you were thinking about something, now I know, you’ve been harboring such thoughts about me for a long time, otherwise, you would have resisted to the death and not let me succeed. This outcome is exactly what you wanted, am I right?”

After he finished speaking, he showed a grim expression on his face, as if he wanted to eat Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was silent, somewhat speechless. He admitted that he liked this man, and he also admitted that he did not fully resist. But in that situation, even if he resisted with all his strength, it would probably be in vain.

After all, Mu Chuang was so big, with so much strength. When he was drunk, he didn’t recognize anyone. How could he resist the other party doing such a thing to him with his physique?

“Why aren’t you talking?” Mu Chuang’s face was full of sarcasm, feeling that he had never seen Lin Xi so dazzling before. “It’s really ridiculous, the younger brother I’ve cherished from childhood to adulthood actually had such thoughts about me. I even have the heart to kill you now, you know that?”

Lin Xi didn’t speak, but his eyes welled up with tears because of Mu Chuang’s words. He had thought that he would hate him, but he never thought that he would want to kill him, never thought that he would hate him to such an extent.

Tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, wetting the pillow, and he was trembling all over, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake, unwilling to say sorry to him, because he believed that it was not wrong to like someone, and it had nothing to do with gender.

“Whatever.” He suddenly said these two words, his whole person was disheartened. Even if Mu Chuang didn’t want to kill him, he had the idea of jumping off the building.

“Still stubborn.” Mu Chuang suddenly pinched his chin, as if to crush it, and then cursed as if to vent, “How did I end up with such a unlucky thing like you?!”

After cursing, he still seemed unsatisfied, and threatened, “If you dare to say anything about tonight, I won’t let you off easily.”

“Especially Fu Xiaoling, she is the woman I am going to marry, you better keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will suffer.” After he finished speaking, he released his hold on Lin Xi, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Lin Xi watched him stagger into the bathroom, and the water from the shower sprayed on the door. One could imagine how hard he was scrubbing inside, as if he wanted to rub off a layer of skin, the disgust was self-evident.

He knew that their relationship had come to an end.

Lin Xi wiped the tears from his face, and slowly put on his clothes, feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over, sore and painful.

He endured it for the time being, glanced at the furnishings in the room. Except for the sound in the bathroom, everything else was exceptionally quiet, just like his heart that was about to stop beating.

He slowly packed up his things, deciding to take the initiative to leave here, not wanting to invite the other person’s disgust again.

Half an hour later, Mu Chuang finally finished washing up, looking more sober than when he first went in, and the redness in his eyes had mostly faded.

Seeing Lin Xi packing his things, he immediately knew what he was thinking. He didn’t say anything for the time being, silently watching him pack, and when he finished packing, he found him looking at the bed hesitantly, as if thinking about something.

He followed his gaze and saw his eyes falling on the pool of red marks on the bed, and suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

He still held back and didn’t say anything, and then he saw Lin Xi moving. He slowly moved the quilt away, then collected the sheet, folded it up, and put it in his suitcase.

Then he took out the clean sheets he had brought from home that he hadn’t had a chance to use and changed them, before pulling his suitcase and preparing to leave.

He watched him open the door, and then a gust of cold air quickly poured in, mixed with the drizzle outside. Without thinking, he could feel the feeling of being suddenly attacked by the cold air.

“Stop!” Mu Chuang finally spoke, stopping him as if his conscience had discovered something. “It’s late at night and it’s raining, where are you going alone?”

Lin Xi paused, not saying anything. After not hearing the person behind him continue to speak, he pulled his suitcase and stepped out of the door.

He looked at the vast dark night, the cold rain as fine as steel needles under the dim street lights in the factory area. There wasn’t a single pedestrian on the wet ground, and the snoring of employees sleeping peacefully came from the dormitory. Only he…

Had nowhere to go.

But he didn’t turn around because of this, but braced himself, intending to continue forward aimlessly.

Suddenly, the suitcase was grabbed from behind, and a man’s voice came from behind, “Go back, even if you want to leave, wait until dawn.”

Hearing the first two words, Lin Xi almost ignited hope, but hearing the last few words, the hope instantly vanished.

He stood still, not turning around. Faced with the man’s reaction, his mind was blank and his heart was a mess, as if his whole person had been drained of his soul, leaving only a shell.
