Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 28

Initially, Shen Qing was worried that Lu Shijun would be difficult to coax. However, when Lu Shijun emerged from the shower, Shen Qing had only just started his opening remarks. Before he even had the chance to deliver his prepared speech, the other man had already agreed.

The process was so smooth that Shen Qing was actually quite startled.

“So, you just agreed like that?” Shen Qing asked.

Shen Qing was wearing a pristine white shirt. Beneath the fabric, his skin held a faint rosy tint. Coupled with his chestnut-colored, slightly curly hair, he looked so adorable that one couldn’t help but want to pull him into an embrace and tease him. At this moment, he looked dazed and naive, completely unaware of any impending danger.

Lu Shijun’s eyes darkened. Holding a towel to dry his hair with one hand, he couldn’t resist teasing him. “What’s wrong? You’re not happy that I agreed? Then I’ll take it back. I want you to stay here and keep me company.”

Shen Qing panicked. Maintaining a serious expression despite his cute appearance, he said earnestly, “No, you just agreed. You need to go dry your hair now, and once it is dry, you have to go to sleep.”

Lu Shijun countered, “Then help me blow-dry my hair.”

It was interesting to note that in all the years they had known each other, the number of times Lu Shijun had dried Shen Qing’s hair was too many to count. The number of times Shen Qing had dried Lu Shijun’s hair, however, was zero.

Shen Qing did not think Lu Shijun was being difficult. He quickly agreed to the request and said, “Then sit down properly, and I will do it for you.”

Lu Shijun’s hair was not as soft as Shen Qing’s. His jet-black strands were somewhat coarse and very thick, which made them less comfortable to touch. Nevertheless, Shen Qing dried it bit by bit with gentle movements, showing no hint of impatience.

“Done,” he said.

By the time he put the hairdryer down, his wrist felt a bit sore. Shen Qing could not help but rub his wrist as he pulled the man up from the chair. “Alright, you need to go to bed now.”

Every single one of his movements was captured in Lu Shijun’s gaze.

“Why didn’t you tell me your hand was sore?” Lu Shijun pulled Shen Qing’s hand toward him and began massaging it with moderate pressure. “Qingqing, you just do whatever I ask. Why are you so well-behaved?”

Shen Qing wanted to say that he was not well-behaved at all. He was doing all of this just to appease Lu Shijun and coax him into going to sleep early. He was not good at lying, and Lu Shijun’s praise left him unsure of how to respond. In the end, he could only purse his rosy lips and urge, “Okay, my hand does not ache anymore. Go to sleep.”

The smile in Lu Shijun’s eyes faded slightly, but Shen Qing, who was somewhat tipsy from the wine, did not notice.

“Fine, I will go to bed. You should get some rest early too, Qingqing.”

Still uneasy, Shen Qing foolishly followed Lu Shijun to his bedroom. He watched him lie down and even tucked him in like a devoted spouse. Only after finishing all of this did he flash a smile.

“Alright, Lu Shijun. Goodnight.”

He turned off the light and returned to his own home. He was afraid it was too late for a full shower, so he simply changed his clothes. Worried that he still smelled of alcohol, which would be rude when visiting a patient, he grabbed a bottle of perfume and gave himself a quick spray.

The perfume had been a gift from Lu Shijun’s secretary, who said it smelled wonderful and had given it to him because she had an extra bottle. Shen Qing did not usually like wearing perfume. The overly sweet scent made him very uncomfortable, but there was no time to dwell on it now.

He hurriedly hailed a car. Lin Zhixue had injured his hand and was currently hospitalized. Visiting hours ended at 8:00 PM, and Shen Qing only had one hour left.

The Hospital, Inpatient Department

Lin Zhixue came from a decent family, so due to his hand injury, he was staying in a VIP ward. Following the address, Shen Qing made his way to the VIP section. Unlike the general wards, the VIP area was exceptionally quiet. Aside from the nurses at the front desk, hardly anyone could be seen in the corridors.

However, he never expected that a simple visit would reveal such an earth-shattering secret.

“Dr. Lin, who do you think I am?”

“Dr. Lin, when you were just kissing me, you called out for ‘Junior Shen.’ Who is this Junior Shen of yours?”

“Dr. Lin, I do not mind being a substitute. You said you like it when I call you Senior Lin, so…”

“Senior!”

“Senior Lin!”

Shen Qing stood at the door of the ward, listening to the ambiguous words coming from inside. His feet felt as if they were glued to the floor, unable to move. His expression shifted repeatedly. Especially upon hearing the words “Junior Shen,” his body swayed, and his eyes filled with a turbulent wave of disbelief.

Shen Qing was an adult. Although he had never been in a relationship, it did not mean he was completely ignorant. Right now, it was clear what was happening inside that room.

His mind was in a whirl. His hand remained suspended in mid-air, unsure whether he should knock or retreat and leave.

“What is wrong?”

Suddenly, a familiar, husky voice came from behind him. Shen Qing’s body froze once more. Before he could turn around, the person drifted behind him like a ghost. A solid chest pressed against his back, blocking his path of retreat.

“Shouldn’t Qingqing be at home sleeping? Why did you run all the way here?”

“Was everything Qingqing said before a lie to deceive me?”

“I am quite angry.”

Shen Qing had not even processed what was happening in the ward when Lu Shijun appeared like a phantom. His presence was so overwhelming that Shen Qing felt a terrifying sense of impending danger.

However, before he could speak, Lu Shijun suddenly leaned down. His thin lips brushed against Shen Qing’s earlobe, accompanied by a light chuckle and hot breath. He said softly, “Qingqing came to visit Dr. Lin, right? Since you are already at the door, why aren’t you going in?”

“No!”

Shen Qing’s pupils shrank. Before he could stop him, Lu Shijun pushed the ward door open. The sound of the door opening did not interrupt the activity inside. On the contrary, without the door as a barrier, those unbearable sounds became even louder.

Shen Qing did not even dare to open his eyes, fearing he would see something he should not. At that moment, Lu Shijun suddenly began to clap.

“Dr. Lin, you certainly have quite the zest for life. Even being sick cannot stop you from pursuing your pleasures.”

His tone was half-smiling and laced with deep malice, causing a sharp scream to erupt from the person in the ward.

“Ah!”

“Who are you?!”

“Who let you in?!”

A weak voice rang out, followed by a frantic scramble. However, the young man’s scream was too loud and quickly drew attention from outside. Before long, several nurses rushed over, along with people from the neighboring wards.

Seven or eight people crowded around the doorway. As they witnessed the commotion inside, everyone gasped in unison.

Shen Qing still refused to open his eyes. Meanwhile, the man beside him, carrying unconcealed disgust, spoke spitefully, “Qingqing, didn’t you want to visit the patient? Why are you unwilling to look now? Is it because you need me to help you open your eyes?”

Hearing Lu Shijun’s voice wrapped in hostility, Shen Qing’s breath shuddered. Left with no choice, he had to open his eyes.

On the hospital bed, a strange young man was clinging tightly to Lin Zhixue, refusing to even lift his head. As for Lin Zhixue, his face was deathly pale as he looked silently toward Shen Qing. They were covered by a single duvet, but it was twisted and messy, clearly pulled over in a panic.

Lu Shijun had always been a petty man. Earlier, when Shen Qing refused to open his eyes, he had been displeased. Now that his friend had opened his eyes, Lu Shijun felt that while he could tolerate seeing such a disgusting scene himself, he could not allow his Qingqing to look at it.

Thus, he stepped in front of Shen Qing, shielding his line of sight.

“Dr. Lin, we meet again.”
