Evil Love Appears chapter 51
As soon as Fu Xiaoyu uttered those words, the surroundings fell silent.
Xu Jiale immediately felt the intense gaze of his friends fixed firmly on his back. The feeling was just…
Xu Jiale had to admit that he was a crude and still somewhat immersed in base instincts alpha. An assertive and charming omega openly saying “I’m pursuing him” in front of everyone was a moment of pure satisfaction, inflated self-confidence, and an experience of the thrill of behaving like a Versailles-worthy alpha.
Damn, it felt good.
However, Xu Jiale dared to enjoy this feeling of triumph in his heart for only a brief second.
He quickly regained his composure, took a wet towel from Ningzi, and gently wiped the sweat off Fu Xiaoyu’s face.
“It’s not that painful now,” Fu Xiaoyu relaxed, as if to reassure Xu Jiale, and he said softly.
Xu Jiale nodded. “It’s probably just a sprain, but let’s go to the hospital to be sure.”
The ambulance arrived promptly. After Xu Jiale had Fu Xiaoyu placed inside, Ningzi, Amon, and the others initially considered driving to the hospital in their own cars but were dissuaded by Xu Jiale. “It’s not a big deal. It will be crowded at the hospital, no need for all of you to go.”
“Okay,” Amon thought about it and realized Xu Jiale was right. “If there’s anything, give us a call.”
Ningzi waved to Xu Jiale, but just as he was about to leave, he leaned back to check on them. “Sister-in-law… No, sorry, Mr. Fu, take good care of yourself and recover. Let’s play basketball together next time.”
“Alright. Sorry for the trouble today.”
Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but feel awkward at the term sister-in-law, so he pretended not to hear it.
…
“Sorry for the trouble,” Xu Jiale repeated it deliberately, sitting next to Fu Xiaoyu as the ambulance began to move.
“Do you remember the first time you met Amon and the others?” Xu Jiale said, “They came one by one to get you water, and at that time, you simply said, ‘Thank you, we’re not thirsty,’ almost sternly telling them not to come near.”
“Back then…” Fu Xiaoyu hesitated.
“At that time, these guys were just annoying colleagues’ friends, right,” Xu Jiale smiled.
“Yeah,” Fu Xiaoyu paused, “But it’s different now.”
It’s different now.
In the slightly shaking ambulance, Xu Jiale recalled a few months ago when this omega, wearing a stiff shirt, rushed into the basketball court and stared at him as he sat on the floor, working on a survey. He couldn’t help but smile.
He gently placed Fu Xiaoyu’s hand in his palm without saying another word.
At the hospital, the doctor carefully examined Fu Xiaoyu’s lower back, took an X-ray, and concluded that it was just an acute lower back strain, with no bone injury, which was consistent with Xu Jiale’s diagnosis.
But Fu Xiaoyu’s lower back strain was quite severe this time, so he would probably need a two-week recovery, and for the first few days, he likely wouldn’t be able to move much.
“See how you arrange it, in any case, This omega definitely needs personal care these next few days. Other issues aren’t a big deal, just be careful with your back and avoid using too much force. Also, ruptured capillaries from the past few days may cause inflammation. I’ll prescribe some anti-inflammatory medication for you. If you have any fever symptoms, take some, and there’s also medicated oil, but you’ll need to wait a few days for the inflammation to subside completely before using it.”
As the doctor rapidly issued these instructions, Xu Jiale, although he had a general idea of how to deal with sports injuries, still listened carefully.
After going through the hospital process, it was already late at night when they came out. While waiting for a car at the entrance, Fu Xiaoyu in a wheelchair finally couldn’t help but look at Xu Jiale.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Jiale leaned over and asked, “Is your back hurting?”
“No.” His back was actually still painful, but at this moment, what Fu Xiaoyu was thinking about was something else. “Where are we going?”
Xu Jiale stood upright and paused deliberately before saying, “Where else can we go? I’ll take you back home and take care of you.”
Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but smile softly.
For Fu Xiaoyu, Xu Jiale’s words were as delightful as an invitation to continue their relationship.
Of course, Fu Xiaoyu was acutely aware that he was going through a period of unprecedented foolishness.
He was currently sitting in a wheelchair, his back still throbbing intermittently, but as soon as he thought of entering temporary cohabitation with Xu Jiale, he couldn’t help but lose his composure and act silly.
…
But soon, the pink bubbles in Fu Xiaoyu’s mind burst.
When he arrived at Xu Jiale’s house, he suddenly realized that this was not the romantic, well-prepared, wine-filled, and full of kisses ‘overnight’ he had imagined.
Because he couldn’t move much and was covered in sweat from playing basketball, Xu Jiale placed a chair for him in the shower, stripped off his basketball jersey, shorts, and socks, and then carried him to the chair and started to shower him.
Taking a shower together with no clothes on is theoretically sexy, but in reality, it is not.
Because he couldn’t move much, Xu Jiale had to keep adjusting him, lifting his arms and putting them down, rubbing shower gel on his back. The whole process was more like an old man having a caregiver help with bathing.
When Xu Jiale was foaming his body, he used the shower head carefully to avoid water getting into his eyes. When he stood directly in front of him, his alpha tail was swaying in front of him.
Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh.
“what are you laughing at?”
Xu Jiale immediately noticed that Fu Xiaoyu’s gaze was off, so he lifted the showerhead and aimed it between his legs.
“Don’t… Xu Jiale, I didn’t look.”
Fu Xiaoyu, caught sneaking a peek, panicked and gave a very clumsy response.
He couldn’t move and couldn’t hide, feeling the warm water flowing between his legs, making him feel ashamed.
Xu Jiale snorted and turned off the shower. He walked out of the bathroom, returned with his large towel, first dried Fu Xiaoyu’s hair as much as possible, then wrapped the entire omega in the towel, and carefully carried him to the bedroom.
“Is your back hurting?” Xu Jiale walked very slowly, asking as he walked.
“Not really.” Fu Xiaoyu grabbed a corner of the towel and subconsciously wiped the arm of Xu Jiale, which was still wet with water droplets.
Fu Xiaoyu, who had been thoroughly cleaned, also had a cup of ginger tea prepared by Xu Jiale. At this point, he was a bit tired, but he had a habit of trimming his nails every Saturday night before bed. Even though he felt a bit embarrassed at this moment, he couldn’t resist his habit and softly said to Xu Jiale, “Do you have nail clippers?”
“Yes.” Xu Jiale had just laid down, but he immediately got up, walked to the bedside table, took out the nail clippers, hesitated for a moment, and handed them to Fu Xiaoyu.
Fu Xiaoyu leaned against the bedside, put a magazine between his legs, and then carefully began to trim his nails. Perhaps because he was too focused on this task, he forgot about the pain in his back after trimming his fingernails. He bent down to trim his toenails, and this time it hurt so much that he couldn’t help but let out a “hiss.”
“Hey,” Xu Jiale didn’t expect him to do this, so he quickly leaned over to touch his waist. “Don’t strain your back.”
“It’s… okay.” Fu Xiaoyu hadn’t fully recovered from the surprise.
Xu Jiale rubbed his head and didn’t say anything. Instead, he took the nail clippers from him and sat in front of him, pulling one of his feet into his lap.
Fu Xiaoyu blushed, realizing what Xu Jiale wanted to do. He subconsciously tried to pull his foot back.
“It’s alright, no need to be shy. I used to trim Xia’an’s nails too.”
Xu Jiale said casually and firmly held his ankle.
Perhaps because Xu Jiale mentioned the name “Xia’an,” the cat that had been lying on the ground “meowed” and jumped onto the bed. It naturally curled up next to Fu Xiaoyu.
Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t speak and could only turn his head slightly, pretending to be stroking the cat.
Xu Jiale straightforwardly held Fu Xiaoyu’s right foot, raised it, and started trimming.
This omega’s ankle was quite beautiful, something Xu Jiale had noticed before. Fu Xiaoyu always wore well-made, unnoticeable ankle socks when wearing Oxford shoes or short boots. When a slender ankle peeked out from under his trousers, it always looked attractive.
Even his toes were attractive. His nails were smooth and even, with a healthy, pale pink color, and the base of the nails featured tiny white crescents.
He trimmed them carefully and gently. After finishing one foot, he was about to speak, but Fu Xiaoyu had quietly offered him his other foot.
He was taking the initiative.
Xu Jiale couldn’t help but smile. Once that smile appeared, it seemed impossible to disappear.
He whispered, “My beautiful one.”
Fu Xiaoyu didn’t say anything, but Xia’an “meowed” again.
After finishing the nail trimming, Xu Jiale threw the unused magazines in the trash. When he was about to get up, Fu Xiaoyu unexpectedly grabbed his arm.
Fu Xiaoyu’s hair was still damp, and his cheeks were flushed from the steam.
And those round eyes were gazing at him, full of concentration and desire.
No words were needed. Xu Jiale understood his intention.
He bent down and closed his eyes.
The next moment, Fu Xiaoyu really circled his neck, like a kitten capturing its prey, and then gently kissed his lips.
This was the first time Xu Jiale closed his eyes first when kissing. He felt like he was following the prey’s behavior guide.
