Chapter 48: You Love Him So Much
Mu Feng ground his teeth. This Liang Yuhang was getting worse and worse.
He just wants to see me make a fool of myself.
“Anyway, Xiao Jiang, Brother Lu, and Liang Jingyi are definitely not in my options.” Mu Feng quickly eliminated the three wrong choices.
Zhou Tiantian was struck with horror. “You… you haven’t taken a liking to me, have you? My family is very poor! My parents are also super conservative. They absolutely would not support a double-Omega relationship!”
Mu Feng: “…”
Is there a single normal person left in this laboratory?
Liang Yuhang couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
“You’re still laughing.” Mu Feng was about to die from anger. He stopped using honorifics and wanted nothing more than to hit him a few times.
“I’m not laughing anymore.” Liang Yuhang checked himself in time and hinted again, “Three days. It expires after that.”
This time limit was like an invisible collar, firmly circling him.
If he didn’t consider how unfair it was to Liang Yuhang, he practically would have wagged his tail and pounced over.
Mu Feng sighed softly. “Teacher Liang, you’ve given me such a difficult problem.”
“I’m going to get busy.” Liang Yuhang stopped while he was ahead. “I have a surgery this afternoon; I need to prepare.”
“Okay. I’ll go feed the cat for you.” Mu Feng naturally took over the task.
While Liang Yuhang was away on business, 0717 was also very busy, so Mu-mu was basically under Mu Feng’s care. He had a key card and could come and go freely.
“Stupid cat, come out and eat.” Mu Feng called out as he entered.
Mu-mu had recently become very clingy toward him. Hearing his voice, it pounced into his arms like a cannonball.
“Those who don’t know would think you’re its owner.” 0717 was slacking off in a corner and quickly slid over. “Did you go to the hospital to poison Liang Jingyi? I have some laxatives specially made by Great 0717. Colorless and tasteless.”
“Does Doctor Liang know his assistant uses such things to harm people?” Mu Feng laughed at him.
“Doing a good deed… how can you call it harming?” 0717 scratched its head, hesitant to speak. “Um… that…”
Mu Feng was scooping cat litter and looked back. “What kind of devilish idea are you hatching now?”
“First, let me clarify: I didn’t eavesdrop on purpose.” 0717 raised its two small paws. “The boss’s watch is synchronized with me. I listened intently for an hour.”
Mu Feng: “…Mhm. It’s not called eavesdropping; it’s called listening openly.”
“Why don’t you get engaged to the boss?” 0717 asked a direct question. “I think, aside from his sharp tongue, dark face, stiff temper, and being mean to me, he isn’t that intolerable.”
Mu Feng laughed uncontrollably. “After those words, who would dare?”
Mu Feng: “…”
Since his birthday, he had a feeling the whole world was rushing him to get married.
Does anyone remember I just turned nineteen?
“I’m not considering it for now.” Mu Feng said in a low voice, “No, I probably won’t consider it.”
“Why? Why? Why?” 0717 acted like a repeater. “Don’t you want to get out?”
“I do.” Mu Feng could only speak his true heart to him. “But I don’t want to tie Teacher Liang down. He is free.”
0717 was so moved that electronic tears flowed. “You love him so much.”
Mu Feng: ?
How did you get that from what I said?
Afraid 0717 would add fuel to the fire and report him, he quickly stopped it. “What nonsense is that? How did you reach that conclusion?”
“Oh, the novels I’ve been reading recently say so.” 0717’s lines were very up-to-date. “That sentence is equivalent to: ‘You love him to death.'”
“Uninstall your trashy novel sites early.” Mu Feng said through gritted teeth. “Read fewer novels; your brain is rotting from them.”
0717’s electronic tears hadn’t been retracted yet, looking pitiful. “Fine. That was a provocation. You really don’t love him. Sigh. Heartbroken.”
Mu Feng was just about to say something when his phone vibrated. A message came from an unknown number.
[Add me. Liang Jingyi] [Why did you disappear when I woke up? Come to the hospital to accompany me.] [Reply quickly. Wifey, wifey, wifey.]
Mu Feng: “…”
I really should have just stabbed him to death last night and died together.
0717 said with a face full of misery, “See? Once you’re entangled by such a filthy thing, you can’t get rid of it!”
Liang Jingyi continued to harass him.
Mu Feng reached out and blacklisted him.
A moment later, another unknown number appeared.
[Still me. Liang Jingyi] [Lying in the hospital is so boring. I have a hundred numbers to send you messages until you reply.]
Mu Feng directly dialed the number, saying furiously, “Is there something wrong with your brain? Please go see a neurologist, okay?”
“Finally willing to pay attention to me.” Liang Jingyi said leisurely. “I’ve found the fun in interacting with you now; it’s very interesting.”
Mu Feng couldn’t stand it and hung up the phone again.
0717’s tone was very serious this time. “Can’t you be a bit selfish and consider yourself for once?”
Mu Feng didn’t speak, just silently looked at this dull penguin.
If he were selfish, the moment Liang Yuhang made the suggestion, he would have agreed without hesitation.
Who knew if the Mu family would use him to blackmail Liang Yuhang after the engagement?
He felt lost, quietly stroking the cat, not knowing who to consult. “What should I do?”
“Do you not believe I can solve everything, Mu Feng?” Liang Yuhang’s voice came clearly through 0717.
“I didn’t upload all of our conversation.” 0717 was very guilty. “At least I didn’t let him hear ‘You love him so much,’ even though it was my blind guess.”
Mu Feng suppressed the urge to dismantle it. “Then I really have to thank you.”
He spoke to the communication, replying to Liang Yuhang: “I didn’t disbelieve you, it’s just…”
“Just what?” Liang Yuhang asked patiently.
Someone nearby was calling “Doctor Liang”; he must be preparing for surgery immediately, yet he was still troubled by Mu Feng’s problem.
Mu Feng lowered his head, unable to tell him his worries, so he couldn’t speak a word. “Teacher Liang, go get busy first.”
“Fine. The surgery is four hours. If you’ve thought it through, wait for me outside the operating room.” Liang Yuhang cut the communication.
Mu Feng looked at 0717 and decided to adopt the most simple and unadorned method. “Come, you roll the dice. Odd numbers: no engagement. Even numbers: engagement.”
Since he couldn’t make a decision, he would leave it to fate.
An electronic die appeared on 0717’s belly screen, starting to roll, shake, and be tossed into the air.
Mu Feng stared at that spinning die. He still hoped for an even number, but it was slow to land.
0717 said: “Actually, before the result comes out, the expectation in your heart already told you the answer, right?”
Mu Feng moved his lips slightly. “You’re suddenly being so serious; I’m not used to it.”
“Mhm. I can control the number of points on the die.” 0717 said. “Just as the boss can also control his own life. He isn’t as fragile as you think. If he made this suggestion, it means he already thought of the worst outcome.”
Mu Feng blinked slowly. “You’re right.”
0717 became cheerful again, singing and dancing around him. “So happy! We’re about to have a boss’s wife soon. Where should the wedding house be? The honeymoon also needs to be planned. Ah, I need to move the boss’s annual leave forward. God, 0717 is going to work to death again.”
“There won’t be any of that. Even if we do it, it’s just a fake engagement.” Mu Feng was helpless.
0717 was already completely immersed in its own fantasy and couldn’t pull out. “Mhm. I’ve also saved up two weeks of annual leave. Can you take me along when you go out to play? I can take care of the cat and definitely won’t disturb your ‘spring night’ once.”
Mu Feng stood up speechlessly, not bothering to argue with it, and closed the door to go downstairs.
He went to the surgery floor of the base. The lights were still on, and the medical staff inside were busy working.
Mu Feng recalled when Liang Yuhang was having surgery; he had also crouched outside waiting quietly.
Then he heard Liang Jingyi talking proudly to his friends: “My dad said my brother and I have to choose one to give a heart to save my mom. A simple drawing of lots: red slip or blue slip. The one who draws the red slip goes for the heart transplant. Guess what happened?”
“What happened? You were lucky?”
“How can you look at luck for something like this?” Liang Jingyi said with a laugh. “My brother drew first, but I changed both slips to red.”
“Holy shit! You’re the one, haha! Then no matter how he drew, it would be him.”
“Exactly. My dad found out later too.” Liang Jingyi said nonchalantly. “He still defaulted to the method. This pushed my brother into it.”
Mu Feng’s heart ached with a dull pain as he listened.
Perhaps the Liang Yuhang of that time never imagined that saving a family member’s life would result in being plotted against to that extent by another family member.
Mu Feng wanted to save Liang Yuhang, but he couldn’t. The operating room lights were just like they were now, staying on, on for a day and a night.
Then Liang Yuhang was finally pushed out, in a deep coma, not waking for days.
At this moment, standing at the door of the same operating room, Mu Feng was suddenly pulled back to that night of waiting, standing dazed, becoming a cowardly, silent statue.
“Mu Feng?” Liang Yuhang came out after changing out of his surgical scrubs and saw him standing there with red eyes, motionless, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
“Why are you crying?” Liang Yuhang reached out and wiped his tears. “Who bullied you again?”
Mu Feng slowly returned to his senses and realized he had been standing there for over three hours.
He shook his head and sobbed out, “I’m afraid of you being bullied.”
“No one can bully me. What are you imagining?” Liang Yuhang really had no way to deal with him. “Why are you such a crybaby? Those who don’t know would think I did something to you.”
Mu Feng thought: This time, I want to be a bit braver.
Just as Liang Yuhang protected him, he would stand side by side with him and protect him.
He raised his arms and very lightly encircled the other’s waist.
“I’ve thought it through, Liang Yuhang. Let’s get engaged.”
