Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 29

Lin Zhixue lay on the bed, staring intently at Lu Shijun. The raging fire in his eyes made it seem as if he wanted to pounce on him, but in the end, he did nothing.

Shen Qing was shielded completely behind Lu Shijun’s back, with not even a sliver of his clothes showing; naturally, he could not see Lin Zhixue’s state.

He only heard Lu Shijun’s mocking voice, “Why is Dr. Lin not speaking?”

On the hand Lin Zhixue used to grip the bedsheets, blue veins bulged. Yet, even in such a state of fury, he remained silent and made no other move.

In the quiet hospital room, only Lu Shijun’s malicious laughter echoed.

“Oh, it is our fault. We have disturbed Dr. Lin.” Having said this, Lu Shijun turned his face to the side with a look of feigned innocence. “Xiao Qing, do you still want to stay and disturb Dr. Lin? Although the scene is quite disgusting, and you know me, this kind of thing only makes me want to vomit, if it is for you, I can endure it. I can force myself to stay and accompany you.”

Shen Qing was still holding a fruit basket filled with fresh fruit he had personally selected. He had originally intended to give them to Lin Zhixue.

But now, Lu Shijun curled his lips into a smile and took the fruit basket from his hands. “Xiao Qing, Dr. Lin is so busy; I am afraid he will not have time to eat fruit.”

A petty Alpha; even if it was just fruit, as long as Shen Qing bought it, he would never allow anyone else to touch it.

Shen Qing’s entire body was stiff. He had no idea how to deal with this terrible situation.

He thought he should leave.

But before he could speak, Lu Shijun lost his patience. The smile on his lips grew faint while the hostility in his eyes deepened. “Xiao Qing, you are not talking. Surely you do not want to stay, do you?”

Shen Qing shook his head hurriedly. “No, that is not it. I just.” He did not know how to explain, and Lu Shijun’s tall frame remained blocked in front of him. Ultimately, he could only say goodbye to Lin Zhixue in a hoarse voice, “Dr. Lin, please get some rest. I am leaving now.”

It was a very ordinary farewell, but Lu Shijun laughed out loud upon hearing it. He turned around, resting one hand on Shen Qing’s shoulder. “Xiao Qing, you really are too cute. Given Dr. Lin’s current situation, I am afraid he will not be able to rest early.”

“However, the two of us can go rest early.”

There were still many onlookers standing at the door of the ward, including nurses and other passersby still immersed in the atmosphere of the gossip. They saw Lu Shijun sweep a cold gaze over them and say quite venomously, “What is wrong? Why are you all gathered here? Do you want to join them?”

These words were too harsh. Everyone took a step back, fearing they might be misunderstood.

Soon, the dense crowd dispersed, and the ward returned to silence.

At that moment, the young man on the bed who had been leaning against Lin Zhixue slowly raised his head.

He gave Lin Zhixue a sweet smile. Though his mouth offered an apology, his eyes were full of indifference. “Dr. Lin, I am truly sorry. President Lu simply offered too much; I could not refuse.”

Murderous intent burst forth from Lin Zhixue’s eyes.

The young man unconcernedly pulled back the covers and added, “Dr. Lin, do not worry. In an hour, you will be able to speak and move again. Well, my shift is over, so I will not stay with you anymore. Goodbye.”

Shen Qing was led out of the hospital by Lu Shijun in a daze. It was not until they reached the garage and he watched the other man thoughtfully open the passenger door for him that he stood still, refusing to move.

The little bit of a smile on Lu Shijun’s face vanished completely. “What is wrong, Xiao Qing? Do you not want to go home? Do you still want to stay at the hospital to see Dr. Lin?”

Shen Qing looked up. After a long silence, he spoke with a bitterness he had not even noticed himself. “Lu Shijun, you did this, did you not?”

Lu Shijun had an emotional disorder and could not distinguish between friendship and love. Shen Qing never blamed him for that, but he absolutely should not have dragged an innocent person into this.

Lin Zhixue’s injury, and now today’s farce.

Anger rose in Shen Qing’s chest. “Lu Shijun, you have gone too far. Do you know how important a doctor’s hands are to them?”

This was the first time his best friend had ever been angry with him, and it was because of someone else.

At this moment, Lu Shijun’s thin veil of pretense was completely torn away. He stopped acting. His dark eyes stared fixedly at Shen Qing with an intense sense of pressure. He leaned down to meet his gaze levelly. “Yes, I did it. But what about you, Xiao Qing?”

“For his sake, you have even learned how to lie to me.”

“You told me you were going to sleep, but behind my back, you secretly met him. Xiao Qing, since when did your relationship become so good?”

Shen Qing grit his teeth. “I lied to you because you hurt him this morning! That is why I went to see him secretly!”

“I hurt him because he wanted to steal you away!” Lu Shijun roared, as furious as a violent lion. The atmospheric pressure around him was terrifyingly low. “He was trying to snatch someone from my hands. The fact that I did not kill him is already me showing mercy!”

Shen Qing found it absurd. “Lu Shijun, I am a person. A human being, not an object. There is no such thing as stealing here.”

Lu Shijun knew that, of course. It was not that he did not respect Shen Qing; he was simply panicking. In his panic, everything he did had only one purpose: to keep the person by his side.

Shen Qing knew Lu Shijun had significant issues. In the past, he could turn a blind eye, thinking that as long as he handled the distorted friendship rationally, it would be fine.

But not anymore. Lu Shijun had hurt someone else.

He had to correct this.

“Lu Shijun, no one can steal me away. I met Lin Zhixue because he is a doctor. I spoke with him privately because we were once alumni.”

“You are my best friend, but that does not mean you are the only friend I can have.”

“And you, besides me, can also make other friends.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shijun suddenly became volatile. “I do not want to! I only want you!”

Shen Qing exhaled a long, frustrated breath. He suddenly thought of that absurd dream where, for Lu Shijun’s sake, he inexplicably turned against an innocent Omega and hurt them by any means necessary.

He was glad he had not done anything outrageous yet, so now, he hoped Lu Shijun could be rational.

After all, in the future, Lu Shijun would find someone he liked even more.

“Lu Shijun, calm down.” Shen Qing tried to reason with him. “There are many types of affection. Ours is a friendship, and friendships can coexist.”

Before he could finish, Lu Shijun barked, “Bullshit friendship! Lin Zhixue likes you! Do you know he likes you? Do you know what those looks he gives you represent?”

“Filthy, disgusting, and slimy. He wants to possess you!”

“Shen Qing, the person who needs to wake up is you!”

Shen Qing froze, stunned. From the moment Lu Shijun suddenly appeared at the hospital and stood behind him, he had guessed that Lu Shijun was behind certain things.

But Lu Shijun yelled in rage, “Yes, I injured his hand. I found someone to seduce him. But,” he paused here, his face gloomy, emphasizing every word, “the fact that he treated that person as your substitute was not my requirement.”
