Omega Wei Wuxian was shocked, horrified and speechless. He tried opening his mouth to say something, anything, any word to comfort his Zhan ge and alleviate his anger, his frustration but he just...couldn't!

Not in a million years would he have thought that the life he had been living in his own world, the people he loved, respected, laughed, played with, shared his secrets with, all his happiness and sorrows with and trusted with his life were so... cold, inhuman and merciless!

Much less his warm and caring, Uncle Qiren and his sweet always smiling friend, Nie Huaisang.

He felt lost.

Naked, Cold, Alone, Unwanted and ...Lost!

Feeling sad, hurt and betrayed would be an understatement in this situation because the Omega was starting to feel NUMB!

All and everything he believed in those nineteen years of his life was nothing but pure lies!

His Xichen ge and Zhan ge lied to him all his life, although to protect him from harm, they still lied to him nevertheless.

His Uncle Qiren murdered his parents, pretended to be his well-wisher, cared for him, provided him with shelter, food, clothes, the warmth of a family and raised him and lied to him all his life, breaking his trust only to use him as a test subject and finally wanted to kill him off once his role was fulfilled! Not even sparing his child from his selfish goals!

All those arrogant yet capable scientists, good-hearted doctors and beautiful nurses whom he considered his extended family used him only for ...samples?!

Did they never, even once, care for him as he thought?!

Even his childhood friend lied to him and used him to fulfil his selfish goals.

Then just who exactly was honest and truthful to him?!

What was his worth in their life besides being a test subject?

Did they ever see him as a human with emotions and not just a person having the best-enhanced perfectly combined abilities of his parents?

Did they ever actually need him in their life if not for his DNA?

Was it all just pity and repentance that they felt for him?

Was it all an act of repaying the debts on behalf of Uncle Qiren who destroyed his life, killed his parents and used him for his own selfish goals?

Did they ever really love him and care for him?

"Stop your stupid thoughts right there, Ying'er!" Alpha Lan Wangji yelled at his Ying, angrily, "Yes, we did. I did. You are our only family, our life and our happiness, Ying'er, and WE DO NEED YOU! Despite being children ourselves, we raised you and have been protecting you from harm all on our own. In fact, Xichen is so protective of you, he even considers you his first kid!

And nothing that we did has anything to do with your DNA or your enhanced abilities! We didn't do anything because we pity you or wanted to repay some sick debt on behalf of that murderer! So, don't you dare doubt our love, care and concern for you? Do you get it?!"

Omega Wei Wuxian nodded, feeling slightly better after hearing his Zhan ge's passionate words but definitely overwhelmed with all the truth that his Zhan ge has revealed so far. He wanted to run away from this cruel reality, for the sake of keeping his sanity but knew it will only delay but won't decrease his pain in any way.

HE HAD TO FACE THE TRUTH.

Therefore, he willed himself, prepared his heart and mind to hear what more cruelty lay ahead in the story and embraced himself to take more blows on his scarred soul while trying to keep his sanity in check and said calmly, his voice devoid of emotions, "I want to hear everything till the very end, Zhan ge. Please, don't stop, until you've finished telling us everything that you know. Up until the time you arrived here, today."
