Chapter 153: Falling For His Own Son

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already dark outside when Xu Lan woke up.

“You’re awake?” Zhang Fei released a sigh of relief and asked when he saw Xu Lan opened his eyes.

Xu Lan looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar environment. There were seventeen to eighteen people in the house, and Bai Wu was nowhere to be found.

“What place is this?” Xu Lan asked weakly.

“We didn’t find anything today, the elder lead us to search for a new hotel to stay in. Why didn’t you mention to us that you fell ill? If it wasn’t for Sheng Ya who noticed that you didn’t follow the elder back, we wouldn’t know that you fainted,” Zhang Fei said reproachfully.

Xu Lan went blank and he could feel another wave of acid reflux gushing up.

“Where’s Bai Wu and the others?” he asked as he held back the painful burning sensation in his throat.

“The others went out to buy food. The elder went out with Sheng Ya, not sure where they went,” Zhang Fei said after

“Tsk tsk, no wonder! I was wondering why Sheng Ya became so bold. So, it turns out that she was emboldened by the elder’s support!” the crew-cut guy said after clicking his tongue.

“Can you shut your mouth…”

“Blargh!” Xu Lan barfed before Zhang Fei could complete his sentence. He kept on barfing as if he was about to vomit his guts out. The stomach acid was burning his throat, almost choking him into tears.

“Are you okay? Can someone bring over a cup of warm water?” Zhang Fei asked while he patted Xu Lan’s back.

After looking at his situation, the whole house of people went helter-skelter. Without considering how the elder regarded Xu Lan, the way he reminded them repeatedly to take care of Xu Lan before leaving had sufficiently reflected his significance to the elder.

“Water’s here.”

“Are you feeling better?” Some passed the water hurriedly, some comforted Xu Lan by patting his back so that he could feel more comfortable.

“What are you guys doing!” Bai Wu’s angered voice traveled from the doorstep, and everyone made way for him instinctively.

Xu Lan, who had tears and snot running down his face, raised himself up. He stared at Bai Wu who was running towards him, with Sheng Ya following right behind.

“Papa, are you okay?” Bai Wu asked anxiously as he took out the clean handkerchief to wipe away the mess on Xu Lan’s face.

“I’m fine, don’t bother,” Xu Lan waved his hand and pushed Bai Wu away.

“If I don’t care for you, who will! Are you even aware that you’re sick? We bought food back, everybody head out to eat now!””Pang’, Bai Wu let out a punch on the squeaking metal bed frame. He said furiously, “Sheng Ya, you too!”

The room was left with both Xu Lan and Bai Wu’s puffing sounds. The atmosphere was as heavy as a boulder, crushing on their bodies. Finally, it was Bai Wu who gave in and held onto Xu Lan while he wiped away the mess on his face.

“I can do it by myself. Leave me alone, go ahead and accompany Sheng Ya,” Xu Lan pushed Bai Wu away again and said weakly.

“Papa! What’s the matter with you! You hid the fact that you’re sick! Your temperature is 39.5 degrees Celsius, are you going to continue playing hero? All of them here can’t wait for you to die. Even if you’re unwilling to care for yourself, can you be more considerate of me!” Bai Wu had blue veins protruding, steaming white smoke emerged out from the corner of his mouth while he huffed. The sight of his crimson-red eyes bulging was quite scary.

“I just want to be alone for a while. Can you please leave?”

Xu Lan felt a bitterness in his mouth and there were tears rolling in his eyes. He was wondering how did an inveterate disease almost cost him his life. It turned out that he was really sick this time.

It would be understandable that he would be weaker since he fell sick. Even the strongest person would fall sick. It was inevitable for one to show their weaker side when they fell ill.

He laughed bitterly and thought, ‘Why is Bai Wu so unhappy here? It can’t be that the only outcome of his self-reflection was to find out that he was falling for his own son?’
