Praying For Fate Chapter 8 Part1

Yan YuHeng pa.s.sed away peacefully in the hospital before Chinese New Year's. Prior to his pa.s.sing, he regained moments of consciousness and was finally able to recognize the person in front of him. But at that time, he was already very weak with no strength to do anything.

"Father……"

Su YuanHeng took his father's frail hand and put it on his (Su YuanHeng's) face, gently ma.s.saging it.

Yan YuHeng tiredly pull his mouth into a faint smile and opened his mouth.

Nurse Chen came over to help him remove his oxygen mask.

“XiaoLi…sorry…be well…I need to go find him…”

"Father…."

Yan YuHeng gently moved his slender fingers that were on Su YuanHeng's wet cheeks as if he was trying to comfort him. These lucid words that Yan YuHeng took so much effort to say were his last words.

Su YuanHeng wanted to cry but he couldn't cry out.

Seeing his father's smiling face as he pa.s.sed made him think of his very distant childhood. He was running in the park, when he turned his head around, his father was smiling with that same smile.

There is no other person……

In this world, there is no other person that would wholeheartedly and unconditionally love him.

Su YuanHeng is very calm.

Perhaps it is because he was by his father's side during his final days and had fulfilled his last bit of filial piety.

Perhaps it is seeing that his father's life has been full of suffering, so death is his greatest relief.

Coming back from the cemetery, Su YuanHeng looked up at the sky and murmured, “Wonder if father and that person……could meet in heaven.”

Although he never knew his own parentage but from his father's words on his deathbed, he knew that the other person, whom had given him life must have also gone to heaven.

BeiTang MinQian patted his shoulder and asked, “Do you want to know about your other father?”

Su YuanHeng was silent for a moment and then shook his head.

BeiTang MinQian whispered, “They are in love. Knowing that is good enough.”

“……Yea.” Su YuanHeng smiled softly at him, “Let's go home.”

They moved back to their previous apartment. But from that day on, Su YuanHeng seemed to have expended all of his energy at once and started to have a low-grade fever. He didn't recover for several days.

BeiTang MinQian wanted to take him to the hospital but Su YuanHeng refused. Finally, he could only call Qiu ZhiYuan in the middle of the night to have him come and check on him.

Because Su YuanHeng's condition is quite extraordinary, Qiu ZhiYuan didn't dare to just rashly give him any medication. He can only provide him with some vitamins and advise him to concentrate on resting and taking good care of himself.

Su YuenHeng felt dispirited and exhausted, completely lacking interest in everything around him. BeiTang MinQian felt even more worried seeing him like this. Adding on that he had taken over the family business, he called Siva to officially withdraw from the entertainment circle.

BeiTang MinQian wanted to hire a helper to take care of Su YuanHeng but Su YuanHeng refused. With his belly so big, he didn't look like either man or woman. Those people that know will understand but those that don't, won't they think of him as a monster? Adding on, he didn't like having people around; preferring to be home by himself.

Su YuanHeng, "Go do your work. I'm fine. I'll call Dr Qiu if something comes up."

BeiTang MinQian knitted his brows, “You still haven't recovered yet, how could I not be home?"

Su YuanHeng smiled, “Stop treating me like a child. Dr. Qiu is just in the area. He can come with just a call. Just go do what you need to do. Stop being so naggy.”

“Are you saying that I'm naggy?" BeiTang MinQian glared at him. He was so angry that his eyebrows rose.

“OK. Hurry and go to work. I'm more annoyed with you home.”

“You……are so bad!” BeiTang MinQian disgruntily put on his suit and then mutters  toward Su YuanHeng who hasn't yet gotten up from bed, “Fine…fine. Your naggy husband won't stay home to annoy you. I'm going to work."

Su YuanHeng sat up and waved at him.

"What?"

Su YuanHeng grabbed his tie and pulled it until he bent down in front of him. Then he said seriously, “First, you are not my husband! Second, your tie is not straight!”

“If I'm not your husband, then who am I?” BeiTang MinQian glared at him.

Su YuanHeng helped him fix his tie while ignoring him.

BeiTang MinQian suddenly smiled softly and kissed him on his cheek, “Fine. I'm not your husband but your child's father.”

Su YuanHeng's heart trembled but his face showed no expression as he patted him, “Fine. Hurry up and go to work.”

BeiTang MinQian wearing a suit is simply eye-candy. His broad shoulders and exceptional physique set him off like a king. Su YuanHeng is mesmerized seeing him dressed like this. But unfortunately, BeiTang MinQian absolutely hates dressing up like this.

“I'm leaving. Breakfast is in the kitchen. Don't forget to take your medication. Call me if you need anything.” BeiTang MinQian repeatedly reminded him. He couldn't help but feel that he really is a little 'naggy'.

Once the door closed, the apartment seemt to be quiet all of a sudden.

Su YuanHeng sat for a while. Then, he slowly pulled the blanket up and little by little closed his eyes to fall back asleep.

Since his father's death, he seemed to have exhausted all his energy. His entire person felt as though he's constantly drowsy and exhausted, never getting enough rest or sleep.

Even though Doctor Qiu didn't say it, he knew that he was probably experiencing depression. Not wanting BeiTang MinQian to worry, he'd always put on a spirited expression in front of him. But once BeiTang MinQian leaves, he no longer needed to hide.

Su YuanHeng slept very deeply for an unknown period of time. Suddenly he was awakened by the sound of the doorbell constant ringing.

He drowsily opened his eyes to glance at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was already past 1 in the afternoon. He struggled to get up from the bed, put on some clothes and walked to the door.

"Who is it?"

“Su Ge (T/N), it's me!”

T/N: Ge or GeGe = affection term for older brother

The voice sounded very familiar to Su YuanHeng. Looking through the peephole, he couldn't help but be surprised as he opened the door.

“Xiao Su?”

“Su Ge!”

Qin Su charged forward and hugged Su YuanHeng.

“Su Ge! I miss you so much! I finally could see you, haha …”

“Xiao Su, you, how did you come?” Su YuanHeng was so surprised that he almost thought he was dreaming.

“I'm on winter vacation now. Mother Dean allowed me to come to the city to buy some things for the orphanage and visit you along the way. I called you several times but no one picked up. So I just wanted to try my luck and came using the address you gave me."

As it turned out, Dean Chen (Mother Dean) knew that Qin Su wanted to get into medical school. It just so happened that the orphanage needed to get things from the city so Dean Chen allowed him to come since he's on break. At the same time, he could check out the school and visit Su YuanHeng. However, Su YuanHeng and BeiTang MinQian were still living in the villa a few days ago. Since then, they were busy taking care of his father's funeral so n.o.body was at home.

Qin Su came today. He figured that if n.o.body was home, he was just going to leave it at that. Who would have guessed that Su YuanHeng was actually home?

Su YuenHeng subconsciously pulled his outerwear. With a bit of embarra.s.sment and nervousness, “I was out of town the last few days and only just came back."

As Qin Su followed him into the house, he cheerfully uttered, “It's okay. I know you have a lot of things to do. Mother Dean also told me not to disturb you, but I miss you much, I just wanted to come and see you.”

Su YuanHeng could hear the sincerity in his voice. His heart warmed up.

These children in the orphanage are just like his family.

He smiled and asked, “When did you come? Are you finished taking care of all the matters for the orphanage? Where are you living now? Need my help with anything?”

“I came three days ago. I'm almost done with the things I needed to do for the orphanage. Right now, I'm living in a small hotel near the railway station.” Qin Su looked around and carefully asked, "Su Ge, may I look around your home?"

Su YuanHeng smiled, “Sure, I just woke up. Let me go change. You go right ahead and look around.”

Thinking that he had just woken up, his appearance must be unsightly and his clothes inappropriate, he quickly went into the bedroom to freshen up and change into something larger and thicker.

When he came out, he saw Qin Su looking at the furnishings of the house with a kind of …  admiration, novelty, envy, and a cautiously complicated expression.

“Su Ge, your place is really nice. It's completely different from the orphanage."

Hearing his praise, Su YuanHeng's heart felt a bit grieved.

These children who grew up in an orphanage are used to living in a group setting. They've never had their own room, nor have they ever lived in a setting like a home. Especially with a child like Qin Su, who no longer has any hope of being adopted by a family.

“If you want, you could stay here on the days that you're in town,” Su YuanHeng suggested without thinking.

In his heart, Qin Su is like a younger brother to him.

“Really?” Qin Shu's eyes shimmered as he excitedly voiced, “Can I really? Su Ge, you are so good! I could also help the orphanage save some money this way.”

Su YuanHeng laughed, “When you come in the future, you could also stay here.”

Qin Su repeatedly nodded, “Thank you, Su Ge! Then I'm not going to hesitate. You won't believe it, even the cheapest hotel I found is still a few hundred yuan a night. It's really upsetting. You know how much ice cream I could get for Xiao Peng and the others (with that money)?"

Seeing that he is here, Su YuanHeng actually felt better, “Have you eaten lunch yet? I'll take you to get your luggage later. You could just move in today.”

“Okay! Okay!”

Qin Su nodded continuously.
