My Little Devil BL (The Untamed/Advancing Bravely/Guardian/HIStory3)

Chapter 40

Shao Fei rolled over in the bed, he felt uncomfortable and sweaty and he moaned in discomfort.

"Dad..." He whimpered as his body got caught in the bed sheets.

Tang Yi softly clutched his hand and rubbed his fingers into his palm in a soothing circular motion.

"Shao Fei...it's ok, your safe now." He reassured the squirming boy.

It had been a few days since Shao Fei had awoken and Tang Yi had begun to eat and talk again. Everyday he would force the bitter remedy down Shao Fei's sweet mouth and hold his hand as his body reacted to it. The way the remedy worked was to stimulate a poisonous reaction in the body, getting the body's defense mechanism wired up, which would also effectively clean out the vampire venom. The sweating and crying lasted about an hour before Shao Fei would sniffle himself to sleep. All this time, Tang Yi didn't leave his room for a moment.

He watched as Shao Fei tossed and his heart felt heavy knowing it was him who caused him so much suffering. He began to pat his sweat away with a cool cloth when he heard a soft tap at the door and in walked Wei Ying.

"Is he sleeping?" Wei Ying asked quietly, putting a new batch of the remedy down. He had spent the whole day making it in Lan Zhan's school office and was bringing it over on his way back home. Behind him Lan Zhan silently stood there, his eyes glued on the body on the bed, but occasionally drifting to the figure in front of him.

Tang Yi nodded his head. Even when Shao Fei was awake, he wasn't fully conscious, only muttering random words and calling for his father. Sometimes he moved his arms and hands in the air, as if making butterflies and would wave them around happily before slumbering into a deep sleep.

Wei Ying stepped towards the bed and put his hand on Shao Fei's shoulder.

"He's a tough one," he mused quietly, "reminds me of someone I used to know," he added with a sorrowful sigh. Tang Yi noticed how Lan Zhan inconspicuously moved his body closer to him, as if in protection.

Shao Fei's fingers suddenly curled around Tang Yi's, gripping them softly.

"Senior Wei...." He groaned as his eyelids began to open and he adjusted to the light.

Tang Yi's heart filled with bitter jealousy as he saw his baby look straight towards Wei Ying with a happy smile on his face.

Wei Yings heart stopped beating for a moment.

"How...how do you know my name?" He stammered as his fingers reached out to brush his face. Tang Yi hissed and he quickly withdrew them, apologetically smiling towards him.

"Dad!" Shao Fei insisted and he turned over on the bed, his hands slipping out of Tang Yi's grasp as he wrapped them around Wei Yings thigh.

Everyone gasped.

Tang Yi looked furiously over at Wei Ying as Lan Zhan put his hand on his waist to stop him from fainting.

"A-Yuan??" Wei Ying whispered.

"Father!" He squealed as his hands held on harder. Wei Ying began to feel a wet patch by Shao Fei's face and he sat on the bed, stroking Shao Fei's hair.

"But...but how is it possible?" He wondered. He looked towards Lan Zhan, who gazed back at him his eyes full.

"I went back for him," he finally said, "but it was too late, I could only find his...dead body," Lan Zhan hesitated before speaking and even whilst talking he didn't remove his gaze from Wei Yings face.

"I buried him where you left Wen Ning, hoping for him to move happily on to the next world, close to his family..." Lan Zhan spoke so softly and his fingers clenched as a tear rolled down Wei Yings face.
