My Dearest General: It Has Always Been You

Cui Qiqiang averted his gaze and stuttered. "I—I don't know what you're talking about. Either way, I am not Cui Qiqiang."

"Don't be in such a hurry." Qin Weizhe leaned back leisurely. "Whether you're Cui Qiqiang or not, we will be able to discover it soon."

After Detective Qin's words fell, the interrogation room's door swung open and a police officer saluted. "Detective Qin, we have searched the empty house behind the apartment building and found the murder weapon."

Cui Qiqiang's heart jumped and chills crawled up his spine.

"The knife was hidden in the bottom of the sewer and the DNA on it has already been extracted. The murder scene has been sealed too. With that, we have gathered sufficient proof to confirm the identity of the murderer."

"Alright." Qin Weizhe replied. "Get this person's blood and fingerprints."

Cui Qiqiang's pupils shrank. "No—!" However, his resistance was futile as his head was pressed down to the table and the police officer acted swiftly to collect his fingerprints and blood. After all of that was done, Cui Qiqiang slumped on the table, dazed as if he had just lost his soul.

In front of him came Qin Weizhe's light voice tinged with laughter. "How about it? Whether you're really Cui Qiqiang or not, won't we know by then?"

Cui Qiqiang's eyes turned bloodshot as he lifted his head. Murderous intent glinted within them and he plunged forward like a cornered cheetah, wanting to drag his opponent down with him. Unfortunately, Qin Weizhe was prepared and the tip of his shoes pressed on the button under the table and Cui Qiqiang screamed in pain, his body convulsing.

The man crashed back to the table, strengthless and confused as if he didn't understand what was going on.

"How is our electric shock service? Isn't it enjoyable?" Qin Weizhe's eyes curved and he gathered his notebook. "You should know that not everyone can get this service from me so you should relish in it while you can."

After that, he tipped the chair back and went out, humming a random tune.

The subsequent events progressed smoothly. The DNA result came out and the blood in it was indeed Wu Wengen's and the fingerprints on the knife matched with Cui Qiqiang's. By then, no matter how many excuses and threats Cui Qiqiang spat out, he couldn't possibly wash himself clean.

Knowing that he didn't have any way out, he finally confessed.

Cui Qiqiang and Wu Wengen were indeed university classmates and roommates. Wu Wengen was Minister Wu's adopted son thus he had privilege and was placed in the double room in the dorm by himself. By usual practice, he should have lived alone but Cui Qiqiang was a transfer student that came in in the middle of the semester.

At that time, there wasn't any room left, thus he could only stay with Wu Wengen. Coincidentally, Wu Wengen wasn't pretentious and haughty at all. He was humble, earnest and gentle, a lovable boy who loved to smile. Throughout his life, no one in his social circle knew that he was a man of high social standing and he didn't like to show off either.

The two men hit it off from the start and became the best of friends.

They lived together, did activities together, each hour was spent with each other and gradually, a different kind of feeling started to blossom.

Wu Wengen had always known that his sexual orientation was different from others but because of his adopted family's status, he didn't dare to come out of the closet. Meanwhile, Cui Qiqiang was a bisexual. 

One eventful day, a club gathering went rowdy and alcohol got into their systems.

Under the influence of liquor, Wu Wengen confessed his feelings. Two men alone under the same roof were unobstructed when they wanted to do something. Starting from small physical touches, they became braver and braver. In the end, hot blooded youths were like dry woods in heat, the fire was enough to burn everything to ashes and they finally did the deed.

Wu Wengen nestled into Cui Qiqiang's arms, dazed. His body was still covered with traces of hickeys and love bites, and the throbbing pain between his legs told him that it wasn't a mere spring dream. He lifted his head and saw Cui Qiqiang's jawline, warmth permeated his chest. "Qiqiang…"

"Hmm?" The other's voice was soft and nasally.

"We…" He gathered his courage to ask. "What are we now?"

Cui Qiqiang paused, his palm landed on Wu Wengen's waist and stroked gently. "What do you want us to be?"

"I…" Complicated feelings overcame Wu Wengen. He was sure by now that Cui Qiqiang had the same feeling for him. But due to his family, he couldn't just be wilful. They had already picked him up from the orphanage and raised him up until this year. Even when Madam Wu conceived a child three years after, she had never loved Wu Wengen less. Wu Wengen loved his family very much and he didn't want them to be a laughingstock among the upper society's circle just because of his sexual orientation.

"What's wrong?" After not hearing any answer for a while, Cui Qiqiang hugged him and nuzzled against his cheek. "Don't worry. If you're still not ready, it's okay. I am willing to wait for you."

Wu Wengen choked up and tears covered his eyes. He loved Cui Qiqiang but at the same time he was grateful for his family too. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. If it was this man, then…

Wu Wengen told him his family situation clearly. Cui Qiqiang was astonished, however he recovered quickly and comforted him. "It's okay. We will come out of the closet whenever you're ready."

"En." It was at that time that Wu Wengen decided that he would cherish this man.

Time passed and they became closer and closer with each other. One day, Wu Wengen offered. "Do you want to come home with me?" His cheeks blushed crimson and his eyes looked everywhere but him, even the tip of his hair was oozing with nervousness.

Cui Qiqiang fell silent and hugged him abruptly. His lips on Wu Wengen's ear, whispering. "I love you…"

"I love you too." Wu Wengen laughed and hugged him back. He thought that he would take it step by step, slowly bringing Cui Qiqiang to his life, making his family get used to him. Then, when he came out of the closet, everything would surely become easier.

If Minister Wu and Madam Wu couldn't accept Cui Qiqiang, then Wu Wengen was ready to sacrifice everything and bring Cui Qiqiang away.

Never would Wu Wengen expect that this decision of his eventually become one that would bring him despair and heartbreak.
