This is definitely different from what he expected. Although, Li Wenchao in the original plot is lustful, he isn't this thirsty to instantly showcased his ideas. He was more like a patient hunter, waiting for the prey to willingly devoted themselves. And as much as Lian Zhinan protest, the restriction only worsened.
There is no used to get angry. Back in the past, perhaps, the system's constant nagging allowed him to indulge in his character, and due to his disappearance, Lian Zhinan had a hard time establishing and maintaining his personality.
Finally, Lian Zhinan had fully embraced his identity as a cannon fodder.
The weight on his arms isn't heavy. The process of undergoing maturity is basically based on puberty. Li Wenchao smiled cheekily. Displaying his gentleman countenance, it is easy for him to deceived people. Moreover, there is actually no need for that, with his face alone, countless would throw themselves into his arms.
Nonetheless, Li Wenchao isn't interested in younger individuals. Before, his desire only run towards the mature women. Although, it isn't a taboo to play with men in this era, Li Wenchao himself had no interest.
But now… Li Wenchao couldn't cover his excitement.
The distant between the gymnasium and the infirmary aren't long. However, Li Wenchao gradually slowing his paces. The time went longer and the atmosphere became more tense. The continual and deliberate teasing made the youth on his arms more uncomfortable. Achieving his goals, Li Wenchao abruptly stopped his movements.
The nurse on duty was startled seeing him, but when her eyes move to the figure on his arms, she was even more shocked. She hurriedly let them in and properly attended the needs of the patient. Unfortunately, the doctor on duty was on a break and there is only her in the place.
It seems like even fate was on his side. Li Wenchao smiled nicely and approached the youth who was now sitting on the bed. He shifted his eyes to the panic nurse and said gently, "Don't worry, I have knowledge about this field. I can take care of him."
The nurse eyes widened in joy, but instantly dissipated. She looked happy, but then turned into disappointment. Her eyes then shifted into the silent young man and hesitate.
She isn't a professional nurse, thereafter, she had only a little knowledge on what to do at this point. Li Wenchao's suggestions would actually benefit her, but… the male god, her cheeks blushed. This is a rare opportunity for her to get in touch with the male god!
Li Wenchao's face immediately darkened upon sensing her ideas. The amiable countenance was replaced by rare anger, "Miss, if you delay us, the patient's condition may worsen."
The nurse seems to woke up from her dreams and paled. Her lips trembling, "Yes, yes. Y-you give him a first aid first, I will call for the doctor!" She left in swift like a flash.
Li Wenchao didn't really lie about his skills in medicine. As an actor, he should supposedly take care of his body, that being said, learning first aid is a must. He rolled his white sleeves and turned his gaze to the boy. He was quite surprised upon meeting the boy's calm eyes.
His throat tightened.
He slowly moves forward and bend down. The black shoes of Lian Zhinan entered his field of vision. Li Wenchao's eyes even turned darker.
He skillfully removed the boy's shoes and the plain white sock fully hugged the boy's feet. His heart beat louder and faster, sweats started to appear in his forehead. He wasn't this nervous when he was filming as a lead for the first time, how high is Lian Zhinan effect to him?
"I will remove your sock." Li Wenchao didn't wait for his approval and slowly removed the white cloth. Instantly, the brilliant paleness in a gorgeous palette penetrated his sight. The lovely foot was visibly shown, exquisite shape in dazzling white, the nails were shaded in faintly pink. The light swelling added a different temperament.
Bruised beauty, abused by intense and passionate love.
Li Wenchao breed a trail of nasty thoughts.
Even if it was harder for him to restrained, his control overcame his flooding desire. He picked up the ice compress bag and performed compression in the ankle. Li Wenchao was almost dedicated in worshiping a pair of feet, his eyes were deeply focus and attentive, his fingers tried to trace the flawless skin and his increasing of swallowing betrayed his control.
"It's only a minor injury, you don't have to worry."
Liam Zhinan nodded slowly. He ignored Li Wenchao's crazy expression and closed his eyes for a brief moment. The coldness from the ice made the pain deceased.
It was merely due to Lian Zhinan's quietness before that Li Wenchao thought that he was a cold child. However, with this interaction, Li Wenchao was sure that it was only a shell. Inside is a warm and transparent fire, wrapped in a cold shell of snow. It's dangerous, but it also aroused the people's curiosity.
Li Wenchao smiled secretly. Aside from the blank face, what would be his expression when indulging in pleasure?
Howbeit, his illusion was shattered. Lian Zhinan was picked up by the driver, and Li Wenchao's plan was destroyed. He was about to give Lian Zhinan a ride, but it's okay. There is a time for that. He grinned foolishly.
Because of the sprained ankle, Lian Zhinan had a hard time in the villa. Even if he was supported by the maids, it was still uncomfortable. The driver took a leave for him until he was fully healed.
But during these days, Lian Zhinan haven't seen the figure of the butler.
"Sister, where is grandpa Zhao?" Once, he asked one of the maids.
Mei Xue stopped sweeping and furrowed her eyebrow, she looked at Lian Zhinan and frowned, "I don't have an idea, young master. Even sister Pei doesn't know why the butler took a leave."
Lian Zhinan pursed his lips. Assistant Gu, it's also been a while since he last visited. What on the earth is happening?
Will he be abandon? The thought made Lian Zhinan feels unpleasant. He tried to ignore this theory and distracted himself with foods. Grandpa Zhao won't abandon him.
But as the days passed, not only he had not seen Butler Zhao's shadow, the maids started avoiding him. It wasn't instantly, but as the time passed, Lian Zhinan noticed that sister Mei and sister Pei were becoming colder. Gradually treating him as a master, casual and formal, the friendliness was gone.
This is not the outcome that Lian Zhinan wants. He was an introvert, and the sudden quietness should make him satisfied. However, living in this villa, he had now developed intimacy with the people around here. Now, with the rapid change of behavior, it was hard for Lian Zhinan to catch on.
What is happening?
He was scared. The abandonment from his mother years ago made him terrified that he would encounter it now. The loss of his father and the absence of his brother, Lian Zhinan had a severe breakdown.
"Sister, eat with me, please." Lian Zhinan suggested nervously.
Mei Xue stifled her sadness and replied with formality, "Young master, the servant shouldn't eat with the master."
"B-but, we had done this countless times. What's the sudden change?"
Mei Xue smiled calmly and shook her head. She excused herself, leaving Lian Zhinan in despair.
The usual liveliness in the villa was suddenly gone. Lian Zhinan was left with the cold air and walls, shrouded in loneliness, and the only light was slowly dissipating.
"B-brother Chu, can you please take me to Butler Zhao?"
One time, Lian Zhinan gathered his courage to approach the cold man. Chu Yan is his last straw, even if he was scared of him, he was his only choice. Sister Mei and Pei have abandoned him and, perhaps, Butler Zhao was different. He wouldn't leave him.
Chu Yan looked at him deeply. The young man's isn't as energetic as before, he was clouded by depressing air and the normal liveliness covered in his cold face, was now gone, leaving an entire fragility. Chu Yan deliberately didn't bother him and only visited him occasionally.
He made the young man scared of him. This isn't the result that he wants.
Time and distance, it was the only way to drain the youth's anger and fear towards him. And now, the frightened boy had definitely pulled all his courage just to ask him a favor, the man, he was greatly scared of.
Chu Yan was amused, but it didn't show it on his face, "Why do you want to see him?"
Lian Zhinan grabbed the corner of his shirt, masking his embarrassment, he replied, "It's been a long time since I saw him. I-I want to meet him."
Chu Yan looked at him for a long time before nodding his head.
Lian Zhinan's pupils enlarge. Chu Yan actually agreed to him. The anger and fear towards him deceased a little.
Lian Zhinan still had a sprained ankle, and it is inconvenient for him to move around. Chu Yan skillfully hugged his waist and supported him along the way. Lian Zhinan face turned crimson, and his body trembled slightly. But thinking about meeting Butler Zhao again, he ignored his discomfort.
However, Chu Yan didn't bring him to the butler's house but to a hospital. Lian Zhinan was confused and surprised. He was again assisted by Chu Yan entering inside. Thoughts persistently invaded his mind and he was unable to calm down.
"Brother Chu, why are we in the hospital?" He asked, bewildered and slightly nervous.
Chu Yan responded calmly, "Just look."
Upon getting closer, Lian Zhinan's anxiousness didn't get any better. What if Grandpa Zhao was sick? And maybe that's why he took a leave? However, after the door was opened, his ideas were different from the actual result.
His feet froze and his body stiffened. His eyes stared at the old man, feeding a porridge to a young man laying on the bed. The young man was obviously sick and there are various equipment attached to his body. Still, the butler constantly feed him. The young man suddenly cough and vomited the porridge, Butler Zhao patted him on the back, eyes full of sadness and also tenderness.
"That's his grandson." Chu Yan answered from behind, "His grandson had a severe condition and could only stay at the hospital bed. His parents died in a car accident."
Lian Zhinan felt embarrassed. He couldn't help looking at the two figure again, his eyes lowered. If his grandson was sick, then why is he working at the villa? Isn't he supposed to take care of his grandson?
He was sad and finally regretful. He was actually selfish, wanted to see Butler Zhao and wanted him to return to the villa. Lian Zhinan felt more embarrassed. His courage a while ago quickly disappeared and left nothing but remorse.
He forced himself not to cry and turned around. "B-brother Chu, let's go home. Butler Zhao seems busy."
"But isn't you who wanted to meet him?"
Lian Zhinan blushed, replied: "I saw him now, it's enough."
Chu Yan nodded and supported him. Lian Zhinan was silent entering the car, there is no expression on his face. The scene was like a slapped in his illusionary mind. He wasn't abandoned, but it was even worse than the latter.
Chu Yan phone suddenly rang. Lian Zhinan looked at it. Chu Yan picked it up and answered.
"Hello?"
"Sir, I heard you visited? Why didn't you tell me?" It was butler Zhao's voice on the other line. Lian Zhinan's attention was suddenly caught.
Chu Yan responded, "I forgot something and went back."
"Ah, so that is."
Chu Yan, "Is there something else?"
"Sir, I don't think I could work again. My grandson's illness worsened, I need to take care of him." There is a rare panic in the Butler's voice.
Chu Yan nodded, "Don't worry, I understand. I will find a suitable doctor for your grandson."
"Thank you, sir!"
Lian Zhinan was silent. He doesn't understand what to feel right now. Several emotions are raging into his body.
Chu Yan's voice sounded again, "What about Lian Zhinan? Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"
There is a long silence in the other line. A deep sigh was heard, followed by a regretful voice, "Xiao Lian, that child… he's such a good child. He was similar to my grandson, that's why I took care of him. And saying goodbye to him would only hurt him. Maybe, it's better this way."
"If that's your decision."
Lian Zhinan felt it was harder to breathe now. The kind of words of butler didn't put joy on his heart, it only added more agony and realization. At the first place, the butler only treated him as a replacement, for pity. He was abandoned, it was different from the servants who turned their head against him before. Sister Mei, Sister Pei and now Butler Zhao…left him.
Is he not a good person?
"Don't cry." He was embraced by a large figure, in all of a sudden, Lian Zhinan only realized that he was already crying. He seldom shreds tears like this, but it was difficult for him to hold on. His sobbing went lower then louder.
"I will never abandon you."
Chu Yan's voice invaded his mind, slowly leaving a mark. Lian Zhinan stopped crying and lifted his eyes. He was tired and scared of being abandoned. And Chu Yan… Chu Yan. Chu Yan won't abandon him.
He mustered up his courage, stifling a sob, he pleaded, "Brother Chu, please don't throw me away."
