by VolareChapter 101: Little Yi can have whatever he wants
It wasn’t that He Yuetang didn’t want to save him, but it was too difficult.
Yun Yi’s body had already withered, like a pot of flowers that couldn’t absorb any nutrient solution or fertilizer.
At most, it could only prolong his life by a few days.
But facing Jiang Qiu’s face full of sorrowful pleading, he couldn’t bring himself to tell the truth.
He just silently patted Jiang Qiu’s shoulder: “I’ll do my best.”
Withdrawing the silver needle, He Yuetang drew a tube of blood from Yun Yi’s forearm.
During this process, Yun Yi didn’t make a single sound.
As if he didn’t feel any pain.
He didn’t extract pheromones. The glands were covered in alpha bite marks. Even if he did, the test results wouldn’t be very useful.
He didn’t leave any medicine when he left, but just glanced at Yun Yi, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Actually, he regretted it a little.
If he hadn’t shown the photos to Jiang Qiu, he would have saved himself this discomfort.
But Yun Yi’s face was too recognizable. In less than five hours after being posted, it had hundreds of thousands of views. At this rate, Jiang Qiu would find out sooner or later.
Forget it.
He Yuetang sighed.
Everyone has their own fate.

Yun Yi woke up the next day.
His eyes slowly focused, and he remembered how he had fainted only after looking at the familiar layout of the room.
His body ached as if it had been torn apart, aching to the core, and he seemed to smell a hint of coldness that could relieve the pain on his body.
It was the scent of Jiang Qiu’s pheromones.
Yun Yi felt a little amused in his heart.
Some things, even after being apart for so long, could be recognized at a glance, and the owner could be identified with just a faint scent.
Who has been taming whom all these years?
The relationship between a master and a pet is never a one-sided affair on the pet’s part.
It’s the master’s need.
From the beginning, he needed Jiang Qiu. The chains were two-way, one end in his hand and the other in Jiang Qiu’s.
Neither of them would have ended up like this if either had let go.
Yun Yi could no longer criticize and scold Jiang Qiu like he did when he was nineteen. It was Jiang Qiu who stayed where he was, waiting for him to return.
Jiang Qiu had done everything he had promised in his confession that day.
No matter how long it took, Jiang Qiu was waiting.
In between his thoughts, warm fingertips gently brushed away the tears from the corner of his eye.
“Little Yi, why are you crying?” Jiang Qiu helped him up and looked at the glands behind Yun Yi’s neck. “Does it hurt?”
“Yeah.” Yun Yi sniffed, and said in a nasal tone, “You’ve grown taller again after not seeing you for two years. It hurts if I can’t eat enough.”
Jiang Qiu paused slightly.
These words were clearly suggestive, but he couldn’t bring himself to have any disrespectful thoughts.
“It’s been two years. Little Yi has become weaker. He cries at the slightest touch.”
“It’s because you’re stupid!” Yun Yi looked at him with a smile, his neat row of white teeth, his face as beautiful as it was back then.
Jiang Qiu smiled along with Yun Yi, tears shimmering in his eyes.
“Little Yi, spare me.”
He would rather Yun Yi rebuke him, curse him, or even raise his hand and slap him.
Not this casual way of glossing things over.
Not these deliberately provocative jokes.
Even less this listless, sickly look on his face.
Yun Yi sighed very softly. He put away his smile and hugged Jiang Qiu.
He knew his body better than anyone else.
He had actually accepted it long ago, but at this moment, he felt a little unwilling.
If only he could live a few more years.
“I’m a little hungry,” Yun Yi said, taking Jiang Qiu’s hand and touching his stomach. “You only do it but don’t feed me? Is this how Boss Jiang manages Yun Corporation?”
“I’m not managing it well, so I still need Little Yi to do it himself.”
“Alright,” Yun Yi said with a smile. All the anger and arrogance had been shed in the past two years, and he had truly become as well-behaved and beautiful an omega as he appeared to be.
For dinner, Jiang Qiu took Yun Yi to the supermarket to buy groceries and cooked himself.
Jiang Qiu pushed the shopping cart, and Yun Yi followed beside him, picking and choosing things, still grabbing whatever looked pretty as he had before.
He picked up a crimson apple and held it up to his face to compare. “Look! Such a big one!”
Jiang Qiu took out a shopping bag, took the apple, and put it in. “Pick some more fruit. I’ll make you a fruit salad after dinner.”
As a result, he picked more fruit than vegetables.
They didn’t buy much, and two shopping bags weren’t even full. Yun Yi was tired and refused to walk anymore, clamoring to go home.
After paying, Yun Yi followed slowly beside him.
It was already getting dark outside, with only the moon and streetlights.
Yun Yi patted Jiang Qiu’s hand. “Look at the sky.”
Jiang Qiu looked up and saw only a crescent moon and clouds that were about to be swallowed by the dark sky.
Yun Yi moved in front of Jiang Qiu, stood on tiptoe, grabbed Jiang Qiu’s collar, and kissed him.
“Jiang Qiu, your star is back!”
On the way back, Yun Yi refused to take the car.
The Yun family wasn’t far away, so Jiang Qiu simply carried him home on his back, ordering the things they had bought to be sent to the Yun family villa.
Yun Yi lay on Jiang Qiu’s back, chattering about what had happened in the Second District.
Everything from when the willows sprouted to when the leaves fell.
He also said that it was Xing Zhouqi who had saved him back then.
He broke open the window, pried open the bracelet, and had him change his clothes.
Xing Zhouqi carried him and jumped from the third-floor window.
He also forged a fake parentage test.
Later, he was sent to the Second District, where it was spring all year round.
Yun Yi also said that even if Jiang Qiu hadn’t found him, he would have returned.
“Returned where?” Jiang Qiu asked.
Yun Yi giggled. “Home, to a home with Jiang Qiu.”
Jiang Qiu carried Yun Yi home step by step. Yun Yi was so light, so light that he wanted to cry.
His chattering gradually disappeared.
Jiang Qiu’s heart suddenly ached. He felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, his blood congealed, and he felt a bone-chilling cold.
He stopped and called out in a panicked voice, “Little Yi…”
Yun Yi didn’t answer.
His trembling fingertips finally touched Yun Yi’s nose after a long time of searching. When he felt the warmth of his breath, he felt as if he had come back to life.
Jiang Qiu didn’t dare to delay any longer. He granted He Yuetang three days of leave, ordering him to develop a medicine within those three days.
In the middle of the night, Yun Yi woke up, his empty eyes falling on Jiang Qiu.
He murmured to himself as if talking to himself, “Jiang Qiu, there’s still one thing you haven’t done…”
Jiang Qiu had really forgotten.
He always felt that he had done everything he had promised the young master.
The Wen family was gone, and none of the Wen family members had a good ending.
“You told me to sleep later. You said late-night snacks weren’t good,” Yun Yi said softly. “I waited until 10:30, but I didn’t wait for you.”
This was the only time Jiang Qiu broke his promise, and it had become Yun Yi’s regret in the middle of the night for more than two years.
“I’ll take you there,” Jiang Qiu said, his heart aching as if it was breaking open. “Shall we go now?”
Jiang Qiu’s sudden words seemed to have snapped Yun Yi out of his daze. After a pause, Yun Yi nodded. “Will there still be fruit salad when we get back?”
“Yes, there will be.”
“Little Yi can have whatever he wants.”
That night, Xing Zhouqi’s bar was smashed to pieces. A man at the head of the group handed over a check, which was enough to cover the amount of the damage, right before the police were called.
He said respectfully, “President Jiang said this is compensation for saving Yun Yi back then.”
Xing Zhouqi couldn’t get through with his phone call.
If it were him, he would have only smashed the bar out of kindness after hiding someone’s wife for so many years.
