The Wealthy Old Man Carried a Child After His Divorce - Chapter 12

Bai Yifeng knew that the first thing Fang Xu would do after returning was definitely to come home. Although he did not say it and did not send a message, Bai Yifeng still silently prepared the bathwater and a meal that was barely edible. He followed the recipe exactly, and the taste was acceptable. At his skill level, simply not burning the pot was considered a success.

Sure enough, just as he expected, around 7:00 PM that evening, while Bai Yifeng was dozing off on the sofa, he heard the sound of the door lock turning. He opened his eyes and looked up, meeting Fang Xu’s smiling eyes.

The black hair of this fellow had changed back to golden. Last time, Bai Yifeng had not managed to ask how that worked. However, that was not the issue Bai Yifeng intended to focus on today. Even though he was still mentally sleepy, the Beta did not forget the most important matter. Before Fang Xu could call out “Brother Feng” and lean in for a kiss like a spoiled puppy, Bai Yifeng raised his hand and patted one side of Fang Xu’s shoulder.

The Alpha shrunk back and let out a muffled groan, then grabbed Bai Yifeng’s hand to stop him from moving further. “Brother Feng, what are you doing?”

“You were injured and did not plan to tell me?” Bai Yifeng straightened up slightly. “Did you feel there was no need?”

Fang Xu froze and hurried to explain. “I, I just did not want you to see me injured. I did not think that way. I was just afraid you would worry, Brother Feng.”

“The whole world knows you are injured, yet I am still in the dark,” Bai Yifeng said in a low voice. “If I had not gone out today and happened to see the real-time news, would I have been kept a fool until your wounds were completely healed?”

The Alpha held his hand tightly and apologized in a small voice. “Brother Feng, next time I will definitely let you know immediately, okay? My wisdom brain was shot and broken during the mission. I originally wanted to use the backup terminal to message you, but I could not get it to send. Brother Feng, I am sorry for making you worry.”

As soon as Fang Xu finished speaking, he heard Bai Yifeng say seriously, “I was indeed very worried about you.”

When he saw the injured Fang Xu on the large screen, he could not describe where the ache in his heart came from. However, he was very clear that his current body was healthy and painless; it was impossible for his heart to hurt for no reason. The only possibility was Fang Xu.

He did not want to be a silent observer, nor did he want to become the original “Bai Yifeng” from the book, who had a mouth but did not use it and ended up stifling himself to death.

Bai Yifeng did not want that kind of ending, so he chose to speak directly.

Shame and hesitation were irrelevant in the face of life and death.

Looking at the completely stunned Fang Xu, the Beta’s brow did not soften. He reached out and pulled open the other man’s collar without a word. Fang Xu moved quickly, instinctively trying to stop him, but as soon as his fingers touched the back of Bai Yifeng’s hand, he jerked them back.

“Let me do it.” Fang Xu sighed inwardly and voluntarily unbuttoned his clothes. After the mission ended and his wounds were treated, he had immediately cleaned his body, fearing he might accidentally bring back the smell of blood and soil his Brother Feng. He did not expect he would fail to hide it anyway.

The Alpha took off his upper clothing and set it aside, revealing a bandaged shoulder. Before Bai Yifeng could become too distressed, he added, “It is not very serious, it just looks scary.”

As he spoke, he loosened the bandage slightly, revealing a scar that still looked shocking despite being treated. Bai Yifeng’s breath hitched. Fang Xu, afraid of scaring him, was about to re-wrap it when Bai Yifeng reached out to touch the edge of the wound. He heard him ask nervously, “Does it hurt?”

Fang Xu wanted to say it did not hurt, but Bai Yifeng’s gaze held a tenderness he had never seen before. He did not want to waste such a rare moment and whispered, “It hurt at the time, but now it only itches. The doctor said I cannot scratch it, so you have to keep a good eye on me, Brother Feng.”

“What about the injuries on your face?” Bai Yifeng remembered he had seen more than one injury. He cupped Fang Xu’s face with both hands and examined it closely. Sure enough, he saw shallow wounds on his face and behind his ear. They were almost healed, but the red marks left by the scabs were still obvious.

There was a powdery residue on his fingers. Bai Yifeng rubbed his two fingers together and asked in confusion, “Did you use makeup?”

Fang Xu: “…”

Why was he able to tell even that?

Bai Yifeng did not dwell on why this kid had so many schemes. He simply pulled him up to go wash the makeup off his face. While wiping his face with a wet wipe, he instructed, “You cannot use makeup on wounds; it will cause an infection.”

Fang Xu was about twenty or thirty centimeters taller than him. Bai Yifeng had to lean against the washstand to wipe the wound behind his ear. His movements were very light, and his eyes were full of focus. Fang Xu looked at his profile infatuatedly and murmured, “Brother Feng.”

“Hmm?” Bai Yifeng checked his face once more, and after confirming there were no other injuries, he felt relieved. “Speak.”

“I love you so much.” Fang Xu hugged his waist and refused to let go. Bai Yifeng did not know how to answer him, so he just patted his back. Fearing there might be injuries on his back as well, he did not dare use any strength. “Take a bath before eating.”

Fang Xu glanced at the steaming bath, warmth surging in his heart. He became even more unwilling to let go and tried to push his luck. “Will Brother Feng wash me?”

“Then move faster.” Bai Yifeng pushed him away slightly without saying another word. He unskillfully removed the clothes from Fang Xu’s body and wrapped the injured area with the plastic wrap he had bought during the day.

The Alpha’s upper body was already bare. When Bai Yifeng pulled at his waistband, Fang Xu even nudged himself toward his hand. The Beta certainly did not miss a certain energetic fellow. His brow twitched, but he said nothing, simply shoving Fang Xu into the bath. “Is it too hot?”

“Brother Feng, you are not being this nice to me just because I am injured, are you?” Fang Xu asked awkwardly.

Bai Yifeng avoided his wound and patiently gave him a bath, washing his hair as well. Fang Xu’s long golden hair rested wetly on his shoulders. After a while of not hearing Bai Yifeng’s answer, he felt a bit dejected. In Bai Yifeng’s eyes, this appearance looked like a soaking wet large dog sitting dejectedly and waiting for its owner’s touch.

Rarely moving faster than his brain, Bai Yifeng reached out and rubbed his head. “Come here, I will blow-dry your hair.”

And so, the big dog perked up again.

After blow-drying his hair, Fang Xu’s hair was a bit frizzy, making him look even more like someone one would want to pet. Bai Yifeng resisted the urge and brought out the food he had made. “It is just average. Eat some to line your stomach. What do you want to eat? I will go buy it for you.”

“No need, what Brother Feng made is enough.” Fang Xu did not expect him to have prepared a meal and was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor. He finished every bit of it. Bai Yifeng thought he was starving and felt deeply for him. He stood up to pour him a glass of water, but as soon as he rose, he heard Fang Xu say, “Brother Feng, you still have not answered my question.”

Bai Yifeng remained silent for two seconds before sitting back down. He looked up at the Alpha opposite him and suddenly said without context, “Was I good to Fang Yang?”

Fang Xu: “Huh?”

“Was I good to Ye Lang?”

Fang Xu shook his head blankly. “Why did you suddenly mention them, Brother Feng?”

“Then, am I good to you?” Bai Yifeng rested his face on one hand and looked at him calmly. Fang Xu nodded, then suddenly seemed to realize something. He slapped the table and stood up abruptly. “Brother Feng!”

The way Brother Feng treated him was uniquely and exceptionally good!

This meant he was special.

“Go wash the dishes.” Bai Yifeng felt a bit uneasy. He got up and went back to the bedroom, preparing to take a bath himself. However, just as he found his bathrobe and towel, he was scooped up by Fang Xu and placed on the bed.

The golden-haired Alpha pecked his jaw as if claiming a reward. “The dishes are washed. Shall I help Brother Feng bathe?”

Bai Yifeng thought to himself that he would never get clean then.

The Beta heartlessly flipped Fang Xu over onto the bed. “You are not allowed to follow me.”

“Brother Feng.”

“Otherwise, don’t even think about touching me tonight.” Bai Yifeng turned back and glared at him, then took his bathrobe and walked quickly into the bathroom, leaving Fang Xu almost fainting from the series of surprises tonight.

If he was not allowed in the bathroom, waiting at the door should be fine, right?

Fang Xu followed him, but just as he reached the door, he heard Bai Yifeng call his name. “Fang Xu, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me, Brother Feng.” Fang Xu saw that he was not being chased away, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he leaned against the door. “I am listening.”

The person inside seemed to be showering. The sound of splashing water gradually calmed Fang Xu’s heart. After waiting for over a minute, he heard Bai Yifeng’s slightly breathless voice. “I have been looking for a job recently. Before today, I was very lost.”

Fang Xu listened intently. Although Bai Yifeng’s words were intermittent due to the sound of water, his determination was still evident. “I have made up my mind now.”

“What do you want to do, Brother Feng?”

“I want to be by your side.” The water stopped. This sentence from Bai Yifeng was exceptionally clear, and it nearly made Fang Xu faint with happiness.

Although Bai Yifeng did not say it directly, how was this series of surprises and confessions tonight any different from a declaration of love?

The bathroom door was pushed open from the inside, and Bai Yifeng walked out of the steaming mist. Seeing Fang Xu right at the door, he was startled for a moment before saying, “Let us talk in the room.”

Fang Xu excitedly picked him up. Bai Yifeng was terrified of pulling on his injury and did not dare to move until he was placed on the dry bed. Then he hurriedly touched Fang Xu’s shoulder. “Did you tear it?”

“How could I? You are not heavy, Brother Feng.” Fang Xu lay beside him. “You still have not told me what you want to do.”

“Louis told me that the army you belong to is recruiting medics,” Bai Yifeng turned his face to look at him. “I want to give it a try.”

“Then I can help.”

“I do not need your help,” Bai Yifeng sat up and said in a low voice. “I have money.”

“Yes, Brother Feng is a wealthy man.” Fang Xu rolled over and smiled. “I will count on you to support me in the future, Brother Feng.”

Bai Yifeng took a deep breath and suddenly sat astride Fang Xu’s waist. This move was a total leap of faith, and he used a bit too much force, almost throwing himself off the bed. Fortunately, the Alpha circled his lean waist with both hands to steady him.

The waist under Fang Xu’s hands was too thin, and he could not help but say, “You should eat more, Brother Feng.”

“Do not talk about that now; there is something more important.” Bai Yifeng pursed his lips and pressed one hand against his chest, summarizing his need in two words: “Want it.”

Fang Xu’s breath hitched. Following Bai Yifeng’s habit, he turned off the light. In the darkness, the sounds of clothing hitting the carpet and someone’s chattering could be heard from time to time.

“Brother Feng smells so good.”

“Brother Feng’s waist is so thin.”

“Brother Feng, Brother Feng.”

However, the chattering quickly changed its tone. “Brother Feng, you prepared yourself?!”

Bai Yifeng’s breathing was unsteady as he asked in a low voice, “Are you doing it or not?”

“I am coming, I am coming! I will do it!”

And so, they had a great time.
