Chapter 103: I won't leave you.

ㅤ
The early morning sun lit up the room.

Lu Feng lowered his gaze and looked down at Wei Xiao's trembling eyelashes that seemed coated with light.

His kiss was very light, and it was over a layer of clothing, but the heat seemed to penetrate through everything, imprinting on Lu Feng's heart.

Lu Feng pressed Wei Xiao into his arms and kissed him on the forehead, "I believe you."

Wei Xiao looked up at him, his eyes twinkling with joy, "So..."

"But." Lu Feng's words went back to the original subject, his voice hoarse, "Little Xiao, this year is really important for FTW."

The joy in Wei Xiao's eyes faded, but they were still shockingly bright, "If it's very important, then it's even more important for you to get it healed!"

Lu Feng held his hand and led him over to sit down, speaking to him slowly, "I believe in you, and I believe in the current FTW, but I can't leave."

Wei Xiao was anxious, "Why!"

Lu Feng didn't look at him, "Only North America has this rehabilitation physiotherapy."

Wei Xiao froze.

Lu Feng felt distressed for him, but there were some words that had to be said.

Wei Xiao had a relatively practical temperament. Some things had to be explained to him clearly.

Lu Feng also didn't want to hide these things from him.

"In fact, my shoulder doesn't affect normal life. I can ignore it completely."

"The treatment in North America is still at the clinical testing stage. It's hard to say if it will be successful or not."

"... I can't rest assured about leaving for two or three months."

If the treatment could be done domestically, even if it required hospitalization, Lu Feng wouldn't be so hesitant.

But going abroad was too risky.

This meant that he wasn't just leaving the team. He was leaving the entire club behind.

Lu Feng couldn't leave.

These were things that Wei Xiao hadn't expected. He just thought that Lu Feng would be temporarily unable to play in the competitions, and just needed to rest and recuperate properly. Unexpectedly...

Lu Feng stroked his delicate cheeks, "Be good, during this season, we'll..."

Wei Xiao didn't make a sound. He dropped his gaze, and his shoulders trembled.

Lu Feng was filled with heartache as he kissed his eyes, "Don't cry, Little Xiao, don't cry because of me."

He just wanted to give him happiness, wanted to see him happy. He didn't want to be his source of pain.

Wei Xiao was silent for half a beat, and his voice trembled when he spoke, "I'm scared."

Lu Feng was stunned.

Wei Xiao looked up at him, then poured out all his worries, fears, and insecurity, "What if it... what if it gets more and more serious? After this season, if-if it can't be cured, then what? What-what if you can't even play 5v5 in the future, then what!"

Lu Feng's heart shook. Countless emotions surged up into his throat, blocking him from saying anything.

Wei Xiao's thin lips trembled, and he fell into the quagmire of fear, "You keep saying that it's not serious, but there's still a whole year to go. During this year, we have to keep playing training matches, keep participating in competitions, and run around everywhere... How many players get so tired out that they develop occupational diseases? You're already injured, and if you let it remain for another year, can it even be cured?!"
