165. Quit The Opera
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
Qi Leâan hesitated for two seconds and then got so furious!
He trusted Jenny so much! However, she turned out to be such an awful person!
At that moment, Qi Leâan felt extremely aggrieved. He recalled that Jenny was the one who led him into the theater group, the one who was always so enthusiastic to him, and the one who was so angry upon knowing his matter.
But now Jenny was sitting on the table with her legs wide-opened, making out with the man who claimed to apologize to him!
Qi Leâan turned around and left without any hesitation.
Dossey hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to Robert and closed the door before chasing after Qi Leâan.
Qi Leâan went back to his room and packed up his things angrily. He didnât want to stay in this theater group anymore! The hell with the performance! The hell with Robert!
When Dossey rushed inside and saw what Qi Leâan was doing, he was shocked. âLeâan! Whatâs wrong?!â
Qi Leâan didnât even want to respond to Dossey at all.
Dossey got anxious and hastened to apologize, âIâm sorry! An! I didnât know they were⦠Iâm so sorry! I know people from the east are quite conservative on this! Butâ¦Â please donât be mad!â
Qi Leâan was dumbstruck.
So Dossey thought Qi Leâan was angry about catching sight of Jenny and Robert making out?
He was so furious at first, but now he didnât know whether to cry or to laugh.
âNo⦠Dossey.â Qi Leâan said helplessly, âItâs not because of you⦠Donât worry.â
Dosseyâs green eyes were still full of worry. âThen⦠Do you have a crush on Jenny?â
Qi Leâan was speechless again.
Dossey was quite cute and innocent.
âNo,â Qi Leâan finished packing his things and said, âI donât know how to talk about this. Dossey, please tell Jenny for me that I will not come again.â
Dosseyâs eyes widened. âWhat did you say? An! You are performing this Saturday!â
Qi Leâan shook his head and didnât feel like explaining.
âIâll call a Uber home myself. You donât have to send me back home.â
Dossey was stunned and then got mad, shouting, âAn! You canât be so irresponsible! Without Cassio, the entire show will be ruined!â
Of course, Qi Leâan knew that but his dignity did not allow him to stay in a theater group that insulted his country and his personality.
âAn!!!â The green eyes became serious. âWhy?! I wonât let you go until you tell me why!â
As he said this, he stood in front of the door and even made a vicious expression.
Qi Leâan was so speechless.
He had no other choices.
Then, he took out his phone and found the video he had recorded the day before.
Dossey was confused at first. However, after watching the video for a few seconds, he widened his eyes.
After watching the entire video, he got so angry and said, âThis is too much!â
At this moment, Qi Leâan said, âDossey, now you know why I have to leave. Jenny promised me yesterday that she would make Robert apologize to me⦠Butâ¦â She had been postponing and he still trusted her like an idiot.
Dossey frowned and repeated, âThis is too much. This is too much.â
Qi Leâan took back his phone, saying, âI wonât compromise.â
Dossey didnât seem to have any reason to stop Qi Leâan, but he still didnât let Qi Leâan go, and also said, âNo, no⦠Leâan, listen to me. You have to come tomorrow.â
Qi Leâan was shocked.
Dossey nodded earnestly, saying seemingly to himself, or maybe to Qi Leâan, âAn, you must come! Leave this to me⦠They must apologize!â
Qi Leâan looked at Dossey who looked very sincere⦠Should he trust another person for another time?
Dosseyâs green eyes were filled with sincerity so Qi Leâan couldnât help compromising again.
âOkay, Iâll stay. But if he doesnât apologize tomorrow morning, I will never come here again.â
Dossey became happy and said, âDeal! Then now⦠let me drive you home!â
Qi Leâan couldnât help but smile. He couldnât refuse such a lovely Dossey.
â¦â¦
By the time Qi Leâan arrived home, it was already past 11 oâclock, which was the latest time he arrived home alone.
He thought Wei Changfeng was asleep so he opened the door carefully.
It was dark in the house. Somehow, Qi Leâan breathed a sigh of relief and put down his bag.
Just as he was about to enter the bathroom to wash his hands, he suddenly saw a figure on the sofa!
Qi Leâan was shocked and couldnât help but cry, âAhâ. Then, he kept retreating.
The figure on the sofa moved and Qi Leâan turned on the lights. It was only then that he recognized that it was Wei Changfeng!
The next second, he found that something was wrong with Wei Changfeng.
There were a lot of beer cans next to Wei Sama. Although the two of them liked to drink some red wine at home to liven up the atmosphere, there were too many cans of beer this time. This was the first time he had seen Wei Changfeng drink so much over the past years, let alone in the US!
âWei Sama?â Qi Leâan asked in shock.
Wei Changfeng did not look at Qi Leâan but took another sip of beer.
Qi Leâan glanced over and saw that there were more than ten empty cans on the ground! He rushed to grab the beer can in Wei Changfengâs hand and said, âWei Sama! What are you doing? Did something happen?!â
Wei Changfeng didnât answer. He glanced at Qi Leâan expressionlessly, opened another can, and continued to drink!
Qi Leâan was a little angry and raised his voice, âWei Sama!â
Wei Changfeng snorted.
â?â Qi Leâan was shocked again. Wei Changfeng snorted at him!
âWei Sama, whatâs wrong with you?! Just tell me if anything!â Qi Leâan was angry.
What happened today was so irritating to him. Now, Wei Changfeng made him even angrier!
âDonât go to the theatre group anymore,â Wei Changfeng suddenly said.
Qi Leâan was surprised and then felt a bit guilty, saying, âWei Sama, what are you talking aboutâ¦â
Wei Changfeng suddenly smashed the beer can onto the table and shouted, âI said! Donât go to the theater group anymore!â
This was the first time Qi Leâan saw Wei Changfeng lose his temper like this. He was surprised and then angry, saying, âIt was you who asked me to join the performance. Why are you mad at me about it now?â
He felt that Wei Changfeng was completely venting his anger!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt grieved. He was bullied at the theater group and now, he was still bullied at home!
Tears just welled up in Qi Leâanâs eyes. He stood up and wanted to walk to the bedroom when the corner of his shirt was tugged by Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng was drunk and his eyes were unclear. He mumbled, âLeâanâ¦â
Qi Leâanâs heart ached again.
This was Wei Changfeng, who was always there for him no matter what happened.
He knelt, put Wei Changfeng on his shoulder, carried him up, and complained, âYouâve drunken too muchâ¦â
Be it intentional or not, Wei Changfeng leaned his head on Qi Leâanâs shoulder, leaving his hair touching Qi Leâanâs face. It was a bit ticklish.
Maybe Qi Leâan had eaten too much beef. He had been growing taller during his stay in the US over the past two years. Now, he was only a few centimeters shorter than Wei Changfeng.
He carried Wei Changfeng back to the bed and relaxed the moment he put Wei Changfeng down.
Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Leâan with half-squinted eyes and then put on a silly smile on his face.
Qi Leâan smiled suddenly too and couldnât help but rub Wei Changfengâs nose.
Without any resistance, Wei Changfeng kept laughing after being rubbed on the nose.
The angry Wei Changfeng, the drunken Wei Changfeng, the side of Wei Changfeng that could be seen only by himâ¦
Qi Leâan felt better again. He stood up and prepared to wipe Wei Changfengâs face with a towel.
Wei Changfeng, who had almost no reaction to the outside world, grabbed Qi Leâanâs shirt again. His eyes were telling Qi Leâan not to leave.
Qi Leâan looked back and gently said to Wei Changfeng, âWei Sama, how about me getting a towel to wipe your face for you?â
Wei Changfeng looked dumb and didnât respond.
Qi Leâan didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He got Wei Changfengâs hand off his shirt, making Wei Changfeng smack his lips aggrievedly.
He looked so funny! Sure enough, Wei Sama was always so cute every time he got drunk!
Qi Leâan wanted so badly to record this but he still held it back and seized the time to get a wet towel from the bathroom.
When he came back, he saw that Wei Changfeng had already closed his eyes.
Qi Leâan wiped Wei Changfengâs face, took off his coat, and sat by the bed to watch Wei Changfeng for a long time.
Wei Changfeng started to blather. Qi Leâan went over to listen and found that he was calling âLeâanâ.
Qi Leâan felt so touched. He got up, went to the living room to clean up the messy beer cans, and took Wei Changfengâs phone back to the bedroom.
He lay next to Wei Changfeng and looked at his Wei Sama, thinking that he should probably tell Dossey that he wouldnât go to the theater group tomorrow.
Those messy things were not as important as his Wei Sama.
In the middle of editing the text message, Qi Leâan heard Wei Changfengâs phone ring and found it was a message from Professor John.
Professor John sent a message to Wei Changfeng at midnight? Was it about anything urgent?
With that thought, Qi Leâan unlocked Wei Changfengâs phone and wanted to tell Professor John that Wei Changfeng had fallen asleep.
But when he saw the message, he was stunned.
A minute later, Qi Leâan locked Wei Changfengâs phone expressionlessly and picked up his phone to delete the half-edited message.
He pushed Wei Changfeng away and Wei Changfeng rolled aside. Qi Leâan picked up the quilt under Wei Changfeng and went to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
In short, when Wei Changfeng woke up the next day, he was alone in the bedroom. As he walked out of the bedroom, he found that the living room was empty except for the neatly folded-up quilt on the sofa.
Wei Changfeng felt a headache from his hangover. He put his hands on his temples and tried to recall what happened last night.
But his mind was blank.
The empty beer cans were neatly placed at the door. Everything showed that Leâan had returned last night and had even cleaned up the mess for him.
But what on earth happened?
Wei Changfeng had a headache when his phone that was running out of power started to ring frantically again.
He quickly went back to the bedroom to pick up the call. It was Professor John.
âFynn! Keep in mind what I told you last night! You must meet Director Spear with me on Saturday night!â
Wei Changfeng, who didnât know what had happened, didnât even have the chance to refuse. Professor John quickly hung up after saying this.
Wei Changfeng couldnât remember what message he read last night, so he hastened to have his phone charged and check his message box.
[Fynn! Latest news! Director Spear will arrive in New York at noon this Saturday. Iâve already made an appointment with his assistant. Letâs go pick him up at the airport and have a meal together.]
