Chapter 39: Partner Knocks on the Door (3)
“Then how did you end up there?” That place was quite a distance from the community where Lu Weiyi lived.
“I don’t know Chinese,” Dean lowered his head in shame. “David was already unconscious then. I could only drive based on memory, and then I ran into those devils. They robbed us of our only food and tried to force me.”
As Dean spoke of this, there was still a hint of fear in his eyes, and his body involuntarily flinched.
Lu Weiyi remembered when he had met Dean in his previous life, Dean had forbidden any men from approaching him for a long time. He must have encountered a similar situation, but the rescue wasn’t timely, and the accident had already happened.
It was also at this moment that Lu Weiyi remembered that Dean was still a minor.
“It’s okay now,” Lu Weiyi patted his shoulder.
“Mm, thank you, Lu, thank you for saving me and for being willing to take us in.”
Lu Weiyi nodded, let him wipe himself briefly, and treated the wounds on his body. This kid was tough; his fair skin was covered in bruises and scrapes, and the shoulder he had hit the wall with was swollen like a bun, but he hadn’t cried out in pain even once.
With another person in the house, life became a bit inconvenient, especially not being able to freely take water from his space to wash up. Lu Weiyi had to wash himself briefly.
At night, Dean wanted to share a room with Antonio. Lu Weiyi knew he was worried and didn’t stop him.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Dean excitedly ran to knock on Lu Weiyi’s door.
For a moment, Lu Weiyi thought zombies had come. He jumped straight off the bed in shock and quickly covered himself with a layer of mental power. After a moment of reacting and realizing there was no danger, he opened the door speechlessly.
Dean, his face swollen like a pig’s head, grabbed Lu Weiyi’s clothes and pulled. “Lu, David’s awake! David’s awake! Please help him untie him!”
Antonio could actually break free himself, but he was afraid the host would overthink it, so Dean ran to call for help.
Lu Weiyi wasn’t too surprised. He was pulled downstairs and saw the silkworm cocoon on the bed. Li Zhuang had directly tied the person to the corner of the floor. He didn’t know how Dean, with his small build, had moved such a large person onto the bed.
The turned-on portable lamp illuminated Antonio’s sharp features. He was clearly in good spirits and said very sincerely to Lu Weiyi, “Thank you.”
Lu Weiyi had exhausted his abilities before going to bed and hadn’t slept well, so he was still lacking energy. He nodded and directly tore a hole in the bed sheet with both hands. Antonio immediately broke free from his bound hands, pulled Dean into his arms, and touched his cheek with his fingertips, asking with concern, “Dean, what happened to you?”
Dean, who had been living in fear for several days, finally completely relaxed and burst into loud sobs in Antonio’s arms.
It seemed the two of them still needed to communicate for a while. Lu Weiyi glanced at the time and slipped back into his room to continue sleeping.
