Because you're too beautiful.
Alvin wasn't the only one hurting. Murong Wuque himself was in immense pain, but as always, his expression was glacial, showing nothing of his true feelings. He cleared his throat and looked at the ceiling to collect his feelings, while simultaneously taking deep controlled breaths. Murong Wuque looked at Alvin, and quickly averted his eyes. “Meng Ying did what she thought was right, you shouldn't feel too upset with her. She's welcome to try again, if she succeeds, good for her. If she doesn't, then whatever fate befalls her would be her business since I won't have to give you face anymore. Take care.” Murong Wuque took a step forward to leave but suddenly stopped before Qian Ling. He exhaled a light breath, without looking at him or Meng Ying whom he was carrying. “You can open your eyes now, stop pretending to be unconscious.” Everyone was confused at first as to what he was saying, but the moment Shi Meng Ying’s lashes fluttered and drifted open, they immediately understo
Terrifying fury
Murong Wuque looked away from him and fixed his eyes on Shi Meng Ying. “I already said it, none of you are leaving.” Shi Wei scoffed and nodded. “Are you trying to show off your superior cultivation by detaining us here?” “Can you please stop treating me like the enemy and assuming the worst for once? Just listen!” Murong Wuque lowered his pitch as he continued, the difficulty of the words he was about to say obvious in his expression. “I will leave instead, that would be the best for everyone. I'm the bone of contention here, the one causing all the problems. It's only reasonable for me to be the one to leave.” Alvin grabbed Murong Wuque’s sleeves with a scowl on his face. “What's gotten into you? What's wrong with all of you? I'm still trying to dissuade them and stop them from leaving, and now, you want to leave too? Why the hell are you doing this to me?” Murong Wuque gently pushed his hands away. “You don't have to feel responsible or guilty because I was poisoned.
falling out
Alvin wasn't the only one stunned by the slap, even Martha, Oliver, and the rest who had returned because of the commotion were equally watching, totally shocked that he would attack their host. Even though most of them didn't understand the language, they could piece a thing or do, and guess that the problem had to do with the aftermath of the torturing and poisoning. Shi Qian Ling was standing there, angry but equally embarrassed because he knew that most of the things Alvin said were true, no matter how harsh and insensitive it was. The truth was that if they had met Murong Wuque outside, he wouldn't have spared them a glance, talk more of sharing the same table with them. They were only able to stand before him and talk to him because of their less than ideal situation which forced them into sharing one roof. But hearing Alvin shout at them without respect also stung, making them feel as if he was looking down on them because they were currently dependent on him, which was
YOU'RE BIASED
Alvin's hand froze a few centimeters to Shi Wei’s face and he turned around, punching the nearby wall instead, which sent fissures appearing on the wall, cracking the reinforced steel-concrete mix. He took heavy breaths to steady himself, resting his forehead against the wall, fighting internal battles that only he understood. He turned to Shi Wei after a minute, his eyes deadly calm. “I'm not the reason she doesn't return your feelings, instead of being bitter, be a man and take the risk of going after what you desire, instead of hiding your jealousy behind the cloak of a supportive big brother. Take responsibility? Did she tell you she wants me to? What exactly did I do that I needed to show her special treatment and take shit from her?” “You…” Shi Wei was literally boiling up, his fists were clenched so tightly and his body was shaking from the effort it was taking him to show restraint. Shi Qian Ling had equally gotten angry at this point, his once calm expression turni
Blurring lines
Murong Wuque rested his head against Alvin's back, his arms encircling his waist possessively. “But I still feel like it was my fault…it was all my fault. If I had personally sent him back that night instead of chasing him outside the forest, if only I waited to see if he was okay, if only I didn't teach other people the techniques I developed, if…” Alvin turned around, making Murong Wuque’s words trail off. “If what? If… If… if… Are you omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? How would you have known that such a thing would happen? You did what you thought was right by sending him out to safety. It was those people’s fault for scaring him so much he didn't dare to return empty handed and had to brave the night to give them what they wanted. It was also his fault for not listening when you asked him to go home.” Murong Wuque’s fingers instinctively tightened on Alvin’s shirt, and he shut his eyes slowly, as if trying to push out a painful memory. “But it's my fault he mistoo
I understand you
Alvin found Murong Wuque sitting on a chair in their room, facing the transparent glass door that led to the balcony. The sun was already high up in the sky, making the golden rays fall on his breathtaking face. From the position Alvin was watching him, he looked like an immortal fairy, too beautiful to belong to this world. As always, there was no emotion visible in his eyes and face, but Alvin could tell he wasn't feeling great. He walked to him and placed his palm on Murong Wuque's shoulders, his touch comforting and warm. “Are you upset because they thought you did it?” “No. I was the one who killed the boy. What's there to be upset about?” Murong Wuque replied, staring vacantly in the space. “Yeah, right.” Alvin rolled his eyes in exasperation, wondering why someone as formidable as Murong Wuque was acting like a dramatic princess. “Murong Wuque, I know you're hurting right now. But you don't have to talk nonsense or accept something you didn't do because you're fond of
