Chapter 37: 2.10 Third Small Star – How to catch a Scheming Black Lotus?
A small kitchen was prepared next door upon their boss\'s request. The doctors that look after Prince Hei are those that work directly under him and his wife only. These actions of his shows how much possessiveness and love he has for his wife and now everyone knows that Hei Xue is this Demon King\'s only reverse scale.
Someone they had to treat more important than their own parents or ancestors. Wan Lengya had made the investigations in public, but left more prying eyes to observe every movement Xing Ran. After all this person has been their initial suspect for the accident 3 years ago and this latest one. His obsession towards the King of Music, Wan Lengya, is well known as well. He is a fanatic of Lengya.
Everyone in the music industry and in conservatoire knew his obsessive one-sided love towards the King, but the King only loved one person. Failing to kill Hei Xue the second time made him reached the final straw of his emotional constraints.
Somewhere in the conservatoire.
His private living space.
With a dark room, a lot of things were scattered on the floor either broken or fragmented. Countless of glass shards spreads on the ground. The lights in the whole place was turned off as if no one was living in it. In the receiving area, Xing Ran was seating on the couch while clutching on his hair like a crazy person.
"Why...? Why...!? Just why can\'t you just die!? The King is mine. He can only be mine! Since those useless fools couldn\'t do it. I will just have to kill you with my own hands!!! HEI XUE!! You Whore!" talking to himself in the midst of his madness, Xing Ran.
Unable to bear it anymore he decided to do it with his own hands, but unlike those with high authority, ordinary people didn\'t know how heavy the security the King made around his Queen. Just with the Queen\'s original lineage, a heavy security is always been a must. After all, Hei Xue is a crown prince and full blood royalty of both Wu and Hei.
Three weeks had passed since then.
Morning in the conservatoire.
Xing Ran looked for Yue Wuya as he couldn\'t find Wan Lengya. Obviously Wan Lengya made sure to never bump on him, in case he forgot to hold back his anger and killed this bitch on the spot. Then wouldn\'t his wife\'s plan be useless by then.
As they had expected Xing Ran requested to visit Hei Xue.
"What? You want to meet Xue. No, not allowed!" Said Wuya.
Acting like a little white lotus, "I... I only want to thank Professor Fee. After all, H-He got hurt... Protecting my students. Please! Professor Yue. You must let me meet Professor Fee to show my gratitude. I cannot find the Brother Wan to ask permission. Professor Yue is my last chance. Please~" said Xing Ran with a coquettish voice.
Acting reluctant, "But if I bring you with me and Lengya knows, I will get killed." said Wuya showing his hesitation on his face.
"I promise... I will explain to Brother Wan properly. Please Professor Yue~"
replied Xing Ran with a bright smile on his face.Then Xing Ran lowered his head bow down to his waist to show his determination, but the real reason for this action is to not allow Wuya to see his annoyed expression hidden behind his white lotus fa?ade. Yue Wuya even looked at him with a disgusted expression, but the latter couldn\'t see it because his head is down. Obviously these two hated the guts of one another.
Sighing as if he accepted, "Sigh~ fine!" replied Wuya while Xing Ran showed happiness that he agreed.
That afternoon, Yue Wuya brought Xing Ran to the hospital where Hei Xue currently resides. When they arrived on the floor where Xue\'s room is located, the guards standing at the hall a few meters away from Xue\'s room inspected them.
Before allowing them to pass the room, where Xue was admitted. Upon their arrival in the room they only see Hei Xue asleep on his bed. Seated beside the bed is a man wearing a formal suit while reading a magazine. It was Hei Yu.
A sweet smile appeared on Wuya\'s face as soon as he saw his wife but he didn\'t forget to say his lines. "Honey~ this is Professor Xing I told you on the phone. He said he wanted to meet Xue. Professor Xing, this is my wife and Xue\'s legal lawyer." he introduced.
The two shook hands upon finishing the introductions while Hei Yu pinched his husband in disagreement of him bringing someone with him. This was within his script.
With a cold smile on his face, Hei Yu speaks. "Why did you bring someone here without the King\'s permission. My dear~ do you want to die?" rebuking Wuya while pulling his ears.
With his ears pulled for real, "Ow... Ow... Honey~ gently~ my ears~" complained Wuya.
Not forgetting his white lotus fa?ade, Xing Ran immediately pleads for Yue Wuya.
"Please don\'t get angry at Professor Yue. It was my request for him to bring me here. I wanted to give my thanks to Professor Fee for saving my students." explained Xing Ran in his white lotus fa?ade.
Hei Yu just looked at him with a sharp gaze though there\'s a judging smile on his face. "There is no need to explain. You are already here anyway. But I don\'t think you can talk to the Professor, the medicine given to him induces sleep so the Professor will be asleep for a few hours." He said while there\'s a hint of taunting on his tone.
Keeping a kind smile on his face, "I can wait. I mean since I\'m already here let me wait for the professor to wake up." replied Xing Ran.
"As you wish, but please observe silence. My prince\'s husband will be back soon. You can explain to him yourself why you are here." said Hei Yu as he went back to reading.
Making sure that the kind smile on his face doesn\'t fade, Xing Ran could only secretly strengthen his grip hidden within his sleeves to control his anger and hatred for Hei Yu. His mind is clouded with madness as his thoughts were in disarray.
\'This bastard calls his beloved that whore\'s husband!? They are divorce. Divorce! I want to pull out this slut\'s tongue!\'
Xing Ran\'s thoughts behind his angelic smile.Yue Wuya sat beside his wife wanting to ask forgiveness while tugging his sleeves like a bullied puppy but Hei Yu ignored him. Like a kicked puppy he is, Yue Wuya sits quietly beside his wife. In the end Hei Yu couldn\'t bear it and dragged his annoying husband outside the room to scold him.
The time was calculated properly as planned before the couple acted out and pretended to take their leave to have a private talk. The moment the couple left the room the kind smile on Xing Ran\'s face disappeared completely. The flower bouquet on his lap was destroyed the moment he took something hidden inside.
The bouquet wasn\'t checked as it was made so expensively beautiful making the other people hesitate in touching it. Though it was according to the plan that the guards turned a blinded eye at such a huge bouquet. Normally such kinds of things wouldn\'t pass through those guards\' observing eyes.
A regular size knife made of glass was hidden inside the huge bouquet. As metal detectors were stationed in the hallway where the VIP rooms are located, a glass was able to successfully pass through the metal detector. Even so the guards had received orders to turn a blind eye on things that obviously looked strange like the huge bouquet.
Xing Ran stood up even stepping on the bouquet he threw on the floor. He had this smile of madness imprinted on his face while his eyes were filled with malice. Walking slowly towards the sleeping Hei Xue on the bed, Xing Ran held the glass knife on his right hand.
With a crazy smile on his face Xing Ran muttered. "I failed killing you once, but succeeded in making Lengya divorce you. So, I thought that the king could finally become mine, but when you disappeared Lengya changed like a different person. He is a lot colder than before and treated others like they are not human except for a few who he considered friends.
His former attraction on me disappeared completely. I didn\'t give up and tried all means even seduction to get his eyes back on me, but he even treated me worse than beggars. He didn\'t let me call his name nor let me touch him! Even entering his line of sight disgust him like I am some kind of bug dirtying his eyes! That was your fault.
No! It can only be your fault! Before I could even take back his gaze, you just have to return. You damn bitch! He is mine. Mine... Mine! He can only be mine but.... He only has you in his eyes, in his heart. Since that\'s the case then... You can only die. DIE, Wu Xue!!!"
Xing Ran raised the knife intending to stab Hei Xue through his heart wanting to take his life with one stroke. Only for someone to grabbed his wrist twisting it on a weird angle without any hint of hesitation and breaking his wrist bones mercilessly.
AAAHHHH…
He screamed in pain, only for the latter to kick him on his stomach without any reluctance. Xing Ran flew back and hit the wall. He fell on the floor like a broken doll, coughing blood from the internal injuries of his ribs broken.
Xing Ran had a hard time breathing after coughing blood. His head also starts to bleed. But he didn\'t forget his goal, seeing someone save Hei Xue, Xing Ran knew that he was trapped. Since he will be caught anyway he wanted to drag down Hei Xue with him by taking his life no matter what.
Looking around him to see where his knife fell his line of sight suddenly starts to waver from the lack of blood. What he didn\'t know is that his knife was longed confiscated, and the culprit is man who kicked him. This man had hit him without holding back even making sure his few ribs broke with one hit. While panting as if he was out of breath, Xing Ran tried to assessed his current situation clearly but his state isn\'t good. He didn\'t even heard the sound of the door opening and much less recognize those familiar voices.
"Wow~ no hesitation at all. Did you broke his ribs with that kick of yours?" It was Yue Wuya\'s voice.
"He deserves it." This time Hei Yu spoke.
After taking back the control on his breathing, Xing Ran slowly moves trying to stand up as he looks at the people inside the crowded room but his sight is still slightly blurry and was unable to distinguish the appearance of the people. As for the main culprit of kicking Xing Ran, this man ignores the three\'s presence all together. He put the knife he picked up inside the side closet and sat on the bed where Hei Xue is.
With a gentle tone, the man asked with his voice filled with worry, "Are you hurt, Xue\'er?" asked Lengya.
The moment Xing Ran heard that familiar voice, he ignored the pain in his body just to look at the owner of the voice. He was shocked to see that the one who kicked him and broke his wrist without any hints of humanity is none other than the person he loves the most. He watches as Lengya gently pulls Xue in his embrace as if he was the most precious being in the world.
Jealousy and envy stabbed his heart! Just the fact that Wan Lengya ignored his existence for Hei Xue is enough to break his heart. After all, he loves the man named Wan Lengya with all his heart, that his tears fall unconsciously. Seeing the despair in Xing Ran\'s eyes, Hei Xue couldn\'t help but laugh at him. Surprising only Xing Ran who didn\'t know Hei Xue\'s evil personality.
Hahaha~
Seeing the sudden changes in Hei Xue\'s personally made Xing Ran speechless. Hei Yu learned about it 3 years ago while Yue Wuya witnessed it in France a few years ago. On the other hand Wan Lengya\'s expression didn\'t change at all. He doesn\'t care even if Hei Xue is an evil person. After all he loves him wholly for who he is, no matter if he is a little devil or a little fairy. He loves him with his everything.
Only Xing Ran was stunned.
"Pfft! Hahaha~ you look like a rag dog!" taunted Hei Xie, his voice shows hints of delight.
Laughing at Xing Ran, Hei Xue moves like he is uninjured. After all, his body was already almost healed after staying in the hospital for a month. Hei Xue straddle at Lengya\'s lap who unconsciously put his arms around his waist to let the latter sit comfortably on his lap. Not even forgetting to pull the blanket to cover Xue\'s back and avoid him getting cold.
Hei Xue wrapped his hands around Lengya\'s waist removing the few spaces between him. He pasted himself on Lengya\'s body without any embarrassment. Then glanced at the glaring Xing Ran not far from them, giving him a mischievous smile. His eyes showed mirth and laughter from within. Obviously, Hei Xue is enjoying making Xing Ran lose his mind in envy and jealousy. There\'s even a proud smile imprinted on his face as he looked down on Xing Ran.
Meanwhile, Wan Lengya tightened his arm around that slender waist of his wife, not letting him escape. With his eyes showing his full of love and tenderness, he looked at the man within his arms. Wan Lengya smiled unconsciously, his smile is so beautiful like an eternal ice melting giving one a spring coming feeling.
This time not only Xing Ran was rendered speechless even Yue Wuya was stunned in dazed. Wan Lengya rarely smiles, but seeing such a blooming expression on this cold hearted man\'s face would astonish people who knew how well what kind of personality he possessed.
"W-Woow~ am I seeing things?" said the stunned Wuya upon seeing his deadpan faced friend smile.
As if used to this kind of Lengya, Xue just smirks and gives this silly man a sweet kiss before once again returning his gaze to his toy in this world.
Smiling proudly at Xing Ran, "Lengya is yours? Please! Dream only when you\'re asleep. The Lengya whom you called yours, no longer exist. The moment I, Hei Xue, opened my eyes. This Lengya here has always been mine. He can only become mine and mine only~ This Lengya is my~ husband~ so he can never be yours~ little one~."
Hei Xue\'s tone might be playful that even his words sound taunting to the other ears, but to Xing Ran\'s ears the things that entered his mind are different and was shocked that he was rendered speechless.
In daze after understanding the hidden meaning within Hei Xue\'s words, "Y-You… you? Are you really… that weak, timid, pessimist Wu Xue!?" Asked Xing Ran while looking at Hei Xue like he is some kind of a devil.
Smirking at Xing Ran as he understood what he meant. Looked at the guards who showed themselves together with Wan Lengya, the moment Xing Ran tried to stab him and gave them a simple command.
"Drag him over." commanded Hei Xue.
Hei Xue gestured to the guards to drag Xing Ran towards him as he had something to say to him. With his arms dangling on his sides, Xing Ran was forced to stand even with his body aching all over.
Even when he screamed in immense pain, the cold, icy expression Wan Lengya is giving him never changed. Looking at the smiling Hei Xue in front of him, unable to move at all, he can only watch the man whisper something in his ears with a playful tone of voice.
\'I\'m not the original Wu Xue. You understand right? Dear Little one~ I had fun~~\'
