This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 103
Chap 103
Xiao Yiheng had not contacted Li Cheng for one day, 14 hours, and 23 minutes.
Li Cheng understood Xiao Yiheng — this was not normal.
Even during the most tiring period of Li Cheng’s training, the two of them barely spoke a few words a day. However, Xiao Yiheng insisted on saying good morning and good night to Li Cheng every day. Even if there was no response, he would not stop.
But now, their chat history was still the same as the day before. Li Cheng sent him a long message, but Xiao Yiheng did not even reply with punctuation.
Li Cheng tried to call Xiao Yiheng. The cost of an overseas call was not cheap, but he could not care less.
However, he only received a cold reply from the system — “The number you have dialed is unavailable.”
If Xiao Yiheng’s phone was lost or broken, with his personality, he would definitely change his phone to contact Li Cheng immediately. It was absolutely impossible for him to lose contact for such a long time like this!
Li Cheng’s heart was filled with indescribable panic and worry. All kinds of terrible guesses appeared in his mind.
No … Don’t let your imagination run wild.
Li Cheng bit his lower lip, took out his phone, and dialed Teacher Qiu Xian’s number.
The call was quickly connected.
Li Cheng did not beat around the bush and directly asked, “Miss Qiu, have you and your wife gone to school to look for Xiao Yiheng recently?”
“Ah?”
Qiu Xian was puzzled. “No. Actually, during the Spring Festival, we wanted to go to school to see him and send him some dumplings, but we couldn’t get through to him these few days. His phone has been turned off.” She paused for a moment and asked sharply, “Li Cheng, did something happen to Xiao Yiheng?
Could it be that you can’t contact him either? ”
“… …”
Li Cheng’s heart sank. He did not want the teacher to worry, so he tried to pretend as if nothing had happened and said, “Sigh, actually, we quarreled recently. I’m in Ao Country for a competition now, so I can’t go back.
I was just thinking that if you were to visit him in school, you could help me coax him … ”
As expected, Miss Qiu was deceived by him. She really thought that the young couple had a conflict.
She enthusiastically taught him how an Omega should coax an Alpha after an argument. Li Cheng’s left ear went in and out of his right ear, so he agreed.
After Li Cheng hung up the phone, he immediately rushed to the coach’s room and applied for an early return.
Coach Yu was surprised by his request. “… You’re not going to attend the closing ceremony?
The closing ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. This time, you’ll be the flag bearer again. After the closing ceremony, the entire group will charter a flight back to China. We’ve already informed the media, and there will be media interviews when we pick you up at the airport … ”
Li Cheng said hurriedly, “Coach Yu, I am really really in a hurry. I can’t wait for three more days. I have something important to do back in China.
As for the flag raising at the closing ceremony, I’m sorry, but please find someone else. ”
Coach Yu saw that the anxiety on his face did not seem to be fake. In the end, he agreed to his request for leave.
“Then you go back alone. You must be careful on the way back.” Coach Yu asked, “What happened? If you need help from the team, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Li Cheng shook his head and did not elaborate. He knew that if he told anyone that he was anxious to rush back to China because his boyfriend did not reply to him for a day, everyone would definitely say that he was making a fuss over nothing.
However, he believed in his sixth sense. He believed even more in the tacit understanding between him and Xiao Yiheng.
Xiao Yiheng must have encountered some trouble!
“Oh right, there’s one more thing I need to remind you of.”
Coach Yu stopped. “The team doctor said that the injection of suppressant that was given to you before the competition should have been completely metabolized in your body.
You can enter a fever phase at any time. Moreover, this time, because of the side effects of the drug, your fever phase will be very dangerous.
Li Cheng, you must pay attention to the changes in your body. It’s best if you stay at home after you return to China and quietly wait for the fever phase to pass. ”
Li Cheng smiled bitterly. How could he have the time to “quietly stay at home”?
If something really happened to Xiao Yiheng, even if his fever phase broke out, he would not be able to stop for even a second.
After asking for leave from the coach, Li Cheng immediately bought the earliest flight and rushed back to the dormitory to pack his luggage.
He did not have much luggage to begin with. A lot of his things were dispensable. He threw away most of his things. In the empty suitcase, there were only two gold medals and daily necessities.
After a ten-hour flight, the plane landed in Hua Country’s Capital Airport.
Li Cheng took a red-eye flight. Logically speaking, he should have had a good sleep on the plane to recharge his energy.
However, he could not relax no matter what. He forced himself to endure the long flight.
After landing, he turned on his phone. Immediately, a lot of messages flooded in.
He hoped that these messages were from Xiao Yiheng. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.
All the messages were from his teammates. Among them, Zhou Jian sent the most messages.
Li Cheng could not hide his disappointment.
Zhou Jian: Li Cheng, why did you suddenly leave?
Zhou Jian: Just now, the coach told me that you have something to do in China. He asked me to be your flagbearer.
Zhou Jian: What happened? Why did you leave in such a hurry?
Li Cheng replied.
Li Licheng: I came back to do something.
Zhou Jian: …
Zhou Jian: Is it related to your boyfriend?
Li Cheng did not expect Zhou Jian to be so sharp.
Li Licheng: Yes.
Zhou Jian: …
Zhou Jian: Do you remember that before we left, I told you that after I got the gold medal, I had something to tell you?
Zhou Jian: I wanted to tell you in person. I didn’t expect you to suddenly leave.
Li Cheng vaguely remembered this. However, he was now focused on Xiao Yiheng’s matter. Other people and other things could not affect him.
Li Licheng: If you have something to say, just say it on WeChat.
The radio was silent. There was no reply.
Li Cheng did not take this episode to heart. All his attention was now on his boyfriend, who had been missing for three days. Other people and things could not affect him.
After walking out of the airport, he immediately took a taxi and went straight to the Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country.
It had just snowed in the capital. The car wheels ran over the remaining snow, leaving a trail of muddy tracks.
In this silver-white world, fiery red lanterns were hung on the branches on both sides of the street. As far as the eye could see, there were banners everywhere that said “Celebrate the Spring Festival”.
Li Cheng suddenly understood and asked the taxi driver, “It’s almost the Spring Festival?”
“Yes,” the taxi driver said happily, “It’s already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month!”
The taxi stopped at the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country. Li Cheng got out of the car with his luggage. He knocked on the door of the Academy of Fine Arts and told the security guard that he was looking for someone.
The winter camp of the Academy of Fine Arts was not a holiday. The students would spend the last Spring Festival of high school painting.
“Looking for someone?
No, no, no. “The security guard waved his hand.” The winter camp is closed. You can’t let anyone in! ”
Li Cheng said, “Then can you help me call that person out?”
However, the security guard was stubborn. He did not allow anyone to leave or enter.
However, how could such a rule stop Li Cheng?
He went directly to the back wall of the school and found a place where there were no cameras. With a simple run-up and a hand hold, he easily jumped over the fence!
Last time, it was Xiao Yiheng who jumped over the high fence for Li Cheng. This time, it was Li Cheng’s turn to look for him.
The Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country was not big. Li Cheng quickly found the students’ studio.
It was lunch break now. The studio was empty and there was no one in sight.
Li Cheng walked into the studio and looked at the works in turn.
He knew that these were the final works that the students had prepared for the recommendation. Within ten days, whoever could produce a work that satisfied all the teachers would be able to stay.
These works were in a variety of forms and were not limited to the form of expression.
Li Cheng shuttled through the rows of works. He saw sketches drawn with black carbon pencils, layers of abstract works that looked like mosaics, landscape paintings, and many oil paintings.
However, among these works, none of them were signed by the familiar three words.
In the end, Li Cheng stopped in front of an easel leaning against the corner. The easel was covered with a thick felt cloth. There seemed to be a voice guiding him.
He raised his hand and pulled at a corner of the felt cloth. With a gentle tug, the felt cloth slid down the edge of the frame, revealing the work hidden underneath.
It was an unfinished painting.
It was a portrait that was stacked together with countless intense colors.
Gold, orange, blue.
It was the splendor of the notes falling on the piano keys. It was the roar of water droplets converging into the sea.
The magic wand that had turned into a paintbrush directed the colors to collide together.
The appearance of the person in the painting was very blurry. The face, lips, and nose were not clearly outlined. Only a pair of eyes were carefully sculpted as if they were alive.
Those eyes were full of love and faith. Every audience who saw these eyes would be captivated by the splendor of those eyes.
Li Cheng stared at the painting in a daze.
He held his breath.
Because he recognized the person in the painting.
— — It was himself.
There was no doubt that this unfinished portrait was the work of Xiao Yiheng.
This was the umpteenth time that Xiao Yiheng had written for Li Cheng.
But this time, the meaning was completely different. It was no longer a sketch for self-entertainment; it was carefully sketched by Alpha and presented in the most perfect posture in front of all the teachers. Xiao Yiheng hoped to knock on the door of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country with this painting.
Li Cheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Yiheng had told him on the phone that he would give this secret gift to Li Cheng after he returned from the competition.
Now, Li Cheng has lifted the veil of the mysterious gift in advance, but where is the young alpha who drew this work?
While Li Cheng was still in a daze, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the classroom. “The golden-haired boy!
Who are you? Where did you come from?! ”
The owner of the voice was a girl. Her voice was obviously trembling, but the words that came out of her mouth carried a ridiculous threat. “You, you, you, you, you, you, you, don’t move!
I’m telling you, all the paintings in this room are priceless. If you dare to casually draw a stroke, you won’t be able to afford it even if you go bankrupt!! ”
Li Cheng really didn’t want to destroy the paintings in the room (although he was very skeptical about the word priceless). He put down the felt in his hand and honestly turned around. “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.
I’m just here to find a friend. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and saw a girl who looked about the same age as him standing by the door outside the studio. She was holding a broom and looking at him vigilantly.
The left side of the girl’s hair was dyed pink and the right side was black. She had two high ponytails, one on the left and one on the right. The combination of pink and black was unforgettable.
The moment Li Cheng saw the girl’s appearance, he blurted out her name. “— — Are you Ai Mi?”
“— — Are you Li Cheng?”
Both of them were silent at the same time.
“— — Are you Xiao Yiheng’s classmate?”
“— — Are you Xiao Yiheng’s boyfriend?”
There was silence again.
“— — I heard Xiao Yiheng mention you before!”
“— — I heard Xiao Yiheng mention you before!”
“… …”
“… …”
The two of them looked at each other in dismay. They were afraid that they would become a repeater again.
In the end, it was the impatient Li Cheng who spoke first. “Ai Mi, I’m here to find Xiao Yiheng. Do you know where he is?”
When she heard his question, Ai Mi’s expression became very blank.
“He didn’t tell you about such a big thing?”
Li Cheng asked, “What did he say?”
“He dropped out of school!”
Ai Mi said in a regretful tone, “A few days ago, he was painting in the studio when he suddenly received a phone call. His expression became very strange and then he suddenly dropped out of school that night.”
Li Cheng, “!!!”
“Dropped out????” Li Cheng thought he heard wrong.
How could Xiao Yiheng drop out of school?
He loved painting so much and worked so hard to get the opportunity to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country. How could he give it up so easily?
However, Ai Mi’s tone was very certain. She saw Xiao Yiheng leave with his luggage with her own eyes. The other students said that Xiao Yiheng must have gotten tired of painting and wanted to go back to being a top student. That was why he left without looking back!
However, Ai Mi didn’t believe it. She chased after Xiao Yiheng and kept asking him why he suddenly dropped out of school.
However, Xiao Yiheng didn’t explain anything. “He just said that he wanted me to give his painting to you.”
Ai Mi scratched her head. “I was quite confused at the time. He didn’t tell me how to contact you, so how could I give the painting to you? I didn’t expect you to find it yourself.”
Li Cheng looked at the painting and felt that Xiao Yiheng’s sudden departure had become a mysterious puzzle.
A messy ball of yarn was placed in front of him, but he couldn’t make sense of it.
Li Cheng: “And then?
When Xiao Yiheng left school, was there anything unusual?
For example, did he look depressed? ”
“No … Oh, by the way, after he walked out of the school gate, he got into a car that was parked on the side of the road!”
Li Cheng immediately asked about the characteristics of the car.
“Nothing special, it’s just a car that can be seen everywhere … I remember now. In addition to the driver, there were two other people in the car.
One of them was sitting in the back seat and I couldn’t see their face clearly. The other one was sitting in the front passenger seat.
After Xiao Yiheng sat in the back seat, the middle-aged woman sitting in the front passenger seat got out and sat in the back seat. Just like in TV shows, the three of them sat in the back seat. ”
Because the scene was so strange, Ai Mi could still clearly remember it even after so many days.
A middle-aged woman?
A middle-aged woman who came to school to find Xiao Yiheng and had the ability to make him drop out of school?
A terrible guess appeared in Li Cheng’s mind.
Li Cheng desperately tried to stop himself from thinking too much. However, after eliminating all the possibilities, the only answer left was the correct one.
Even if the answer was so cruel.
Ai Mi saw his face suddenly change and she asked timidly, “Li Cheng, do you know where Xiao Yiheng went?”
“… Yes.”
Li Cheng opened the mobile app and booked the nearest flight to Hua City. “Xiao Yiheng should have been taken away by his parents.”
