What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

Chapter 26

Once he started thinking about it, Wei became more and more excited, it would really happen, after such a long time of crying trying to fight the knowledge that he'd never be happy, things were turning for the best, he had an amazing boyfriend and they would live together!

It was such a beautiful dream that he had a hard time believing it was real.

For a couple of days he felt like he was walking on clouds, then Dreadful Sunday happened.

Wei had spent the night at Yunlan's house and they had walked together until they were in sight of the store. Wei went first then Yunlan followed two minutes later.

Wei entered the store like any other day and saw the girls at the checkout counters chatting among themselves.
He was about to move along after a simple greeting, but they called him back with curiosity written all over their faces.

"You're from Mr. Chen's hometown aren't you? Then you must know them also."

Wei froze, who were they talking about?

"Three people came to see Mr. Chen today, they're talking in his office right now."

Wei felt a lump in his throat, who could they be? What were they doing here?

The office was on the left, at the far end corner; it had glass walls and a closed door. He wouldn't be able to hear them, but if he got a little closer maybe he could see who they were.

Some thirty seconds later Yunlan entered the store and greeted everyone, then his eyes landed on a stone-cold figure, a salt statue if it wasn't for the restless hands.

He approached him like he hadn't left him happy just a couple of minutes before. "Hello Wei, what are you doing here?"

Wei didn't reply. Not only that, he didn't even hear him. His eyes were wide, his face pale, his stance rigid, and Yunlan began to worry.

He tried to call him again but no change. He followed the direction of his eyes and saw that in the boss' office there was a young man looking at Wei with some kind of eerie smirk that he didn't like one bit.

Yunlan had to think quickly, Wei would never be able to show his face again if he broke down at his workplace in front of everyone.

All of Yunlan's worries were coming true and he had to do something.

He turned around so not to be seen and took Wei's phone out of his back pocket.
He looked through his contacts and wrote a message to Qiqi.
>Come to the store immediately

He didn't know if she could do anything, but he had to try something.
He put the phone back and moved in front of him, cutting his visual.
"Talk to me Wei, who is he?"

Wei's eyes slowly focused on him, but there was still panic in them.
"He... he..."

"I'm here Wei, ok? Just tell me who he is."

As hard as it was for him, Wei now had Yunlan's eyes to focus on, they kept his mind grounded and he managed to say the words. "He... Jiu, Jiu is here... he's here... he started it all, what's he going to do now? It's over, he'll do it again, he hates me..."

"No he won't, you're not the same Wei, you're stronger and I'm here with you."

Wei's eyes looked at him with a mix of desperation and gratitude, and a whole lot of uncertainty.

At that moment a girl entered in a rush yelling, "Wei!"
She scanned the place then she saw him and ran towards him. Yunlan moved aside.

Qiqi reached them and hugged Wei in a protective/comforting way. "What's happening? Why did you call me?"
