OFBL Chapter 10

“Don’t hit me, I remember!” Xu Li dodged around. He only managed to bend down and touch the first pillow thrown by Zhang Yuze. Before he could speak, the second one hit his forehead. Xu Li also felt embarrassed to get hit so early in the morning, so he said with a smile: “You’re my boyfriend.”

 

“Damn…” Zhang Yuze was so angry that he pulled a muscle in his waist.

 

“I’m sorry, it’s my first time falling in love. I’m not familiar with the business, but I promise I won’t say that in the future.” As for Xu Li, he really didn’t want to die. Seeing that Zhang Yuze was less angry, he even dared to come over, intending to hug him.

 

“Get out of here! I have to go to work.” Zhang Yuze pushed him away, took the clothes he had folded yesterday from the chair, and put them on his body, piece by piece. By the time he got to the last layer of his sweater, Zhang Yuze had already been tortured by the static electricity, just about to go to the bathroom and fix his hair. However, Xu Li said from behind: “Boyfriend, what you’re wearing is my T-shirt.”

 

Zhang Yuze gritted his teeth and turned around: “Can’t you just leave me alone?!”

 

“Just wear it. We are about the same size, and others can’t see it anyway.” It was not something that Xu Li cared about, and yet, Zhang Yuze still thought about it. In the end, he really didn’t dare to take off his sweater and experience another tribulation by lightning and thunder. So he turned around and walked in to brush his teeth and fix his face.

 

When he came out again, Xu Li was struggling to get dressed. Because his arm was inconvenient, he deliberately wore a cardigan sweater. However, it was a piece of clothing he didn’t wear often, and there was even a musty smell surrounding him, proof that the poor cardigan had been forgotten in the cabinet for a long time. The style was also very different from his usual coquettish appearance. It was plain, simple, and light green.

 

Dressed like that, Xu Li finally looked like a serious person, and Zhang Yuze was a little more comfortable…

 

… Until Assistant Xu opened his mouth.

 

“Come on, help me put on my pants.”

 

Zhang Yuze said: “How about you go out on the streets with bare buttocks?” But in fact, he stepped forward, helped him tie the drawstrings around his waist, and even did a special bow used for surgery.

 

Xu Li’s arrogance began to twitch again, making him sigh: “I’ve been in the wind and dust for so long… This is the first time someone else put on my pants. In the past, I used to go on my way after waking up.”

 

“Then your kindergarten teacher was quite irresponsible. She didn’t care about changing your clothes at noon?”

 

Xu Li: …

 

Zhang Yuze turned around and resumed his “leaving the house” ritual, wrapping himself in a thick coat, and blocking all the possible air leaks with a scarf. Then he took his car key and mobile phone and left the apartment to go to work.

 

“Wait, I’ll come with you.” Xu Li followed him out of the door.

 

“What are you doing?” Zhang Yuze was puzzled. “Stay home and rest, you’re injured.”

 

“I need to change my medicine.” Xu Li picked up his shoes and smiled slyly: “And by the way, I also need to watch my boyfriend.”

 

Zhang Yuze felt cursed. A stallion came to “ watch over him.” Was there a mistake?! He sneered and said: “I’m a clean person. Just watch over yourself.”

 

…………

 

When they arrived at work, the two of them received the visual baptism of the whole hospital. The scene was so spectacular that it could be recorded in history. That morning, the whole Yanjing Artillery Hospital, whether it was someone from the Cardiac Surgery Department or not, whether they recognized Zhang Yuze and Xu Li or not… They all stopped when passing by, with a handful of fresh watermelon seeds silently appearing in their hands.

 

All of them with a “let’s enjoy a good meal and some quality entertainment early in the morning, just before work” type of look on their faces.

 

However, Zhang Yuze was already used to it. Since transmigrating into this book and knowing Xu Li, he was sure that his stable life was destined to come to an end.

 

Just look all you want… Anyway, you don’t have to come and talk with me.

 

And so, Dr. Zhang simply stretched his long legs, did not squint, and walked straight to the Cardiac Surgery Department while brainwashing himself: They’re not looking at me, they’re looking at the scum, and the scum is Xu Li.

 

He just wanted to escape from the scene as soon as possible, but Xu Li behind him was not ashamed at all, greeting everyone conspicuously. Along the way, Zhang Yuze could feel that the mobile phone in his coat pocket kept vibrating, accompanied by the WeChat message prompt. There was no need to look, and neither there was one to read… Of course, it was because of the post from last night.

 

He got up in a hurry that morning and didn’t read a single comment.

 

While waiting for the elevator, Xu Li smiled unkindly and asked him: “Boyfriend, your mobile phone has been vibrating all this time. Why don’t you check it?”

 

“What, do you want to check it yourself?” Zhang Yuze raised his eyebrows.

 

“That’s not impossible.” Xu Li, the shameless one, actually stretched out his hand.

 

Zhang Yuze’s mobile phone was very clean, and there were no hidden browsing records. Anyway, there was nothing to hide, so Dr. Zhang simply handed his mobile phone to Xu Li. At least that could make him stop making trouble for a while.

 

“Let me have a look.” Xu Li clicked on the WeChat app and was almost sent away on the spot by the question marks on the screen.

 

“Why are you with him?! Don’t you two fight every day?!” Zhao Xiaole said.

 

“Dr. Zhang, even if it is difficult to get out of the shadow after falling in love, you don’t have to accept the pain of the past again.” The kind grandmother of the Psychology Department said.

 

“Shit, you’re awesome! Xu Li really let you catch him!” Some random colleague said.

 

There were also some friends who belonged to Zhang Yuze’s friend circle, and there were even more question marks.

 

“Who is this handsome man?!”

 

“Didn’t you say that you no longer believed in love after breaking up with Shen Mo?”

 

“Are you done guarding yourself like jade?”

 

Li Chenghong: “Awesome, bro! Praise China’s Internet speed!”

 

Han Jinhang: @Zhang Yuze: “Brother Yuze, I don’t think you should choose indiscriminately. Although Xu Li is our alumnus, he’s a wild horse. Do you think you can hold on?”

 

Of course, Shen Mo also saw the news.

 

“Brother Yuze, do you have time to meet?”

 

Xu Li smashed his mouth and returned the mobile phone to Zhang Yuze. “Boyfriend, your ex-boyfriend has heard about us.”

 

“You reply to him.” Zhang Yuze was upset to see Shen Mo’s message. Thinking that he had nothing to say to him anyway, he simply asked Xu Li to reply in his stead.

 

Xu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise: “You’re so good… Letting the current partner reply to your ex’s message. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll use this opportunity to flaunt in front of him?”

 

Zhang Yuze glanced at him faintly and said: “What bad words can you say? That my body is so good that you’re in pain every day?”

 

Xu Li didn’t expect that he would say that in public, making him feel stunned for a moment.

 

However, Zhang Yuze smiled falsely: “I mean, my fist is big, and my body is indeed very good. Every time I hit you, I know how to make it hurt even though it’s just a skin injury.”

 

Xu Li: …

 

He withdrew his bad thoughts and finally replied to Shen Mo’s message: “I’m not free.” However, just that one sentence, as long as he thought about Shen Mo’s expression when he received it, he still felt comfortable.

 

The two of them separated at the elevator entrance on the 18th floor. Xu Li left to change his medicine, and Zhang Yuze went to his office. Before leaving, Xu Li raised his hand, pointed to his eyes, and then pointed back to Zhang Yuze.

 

The meaning was obvious: “I’ll be watching you…”

 

… Then he got punched (as expected).

 

As for Zhang Yuze, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, dragging his steps to his office. However, his mobile phone rang. Taking it out for a look, the display showed it was a call from the Empress Dowager. He could guess that his old father saw last night’s post after getting up, so now his family was calling to show their care.

 

He didn’t bother to explain anything to those messages he received on WeChat, but his parents still needed an explanation. Zhang Yuze looked at the watch and found that there were still ten minutes left before working time… His Empress Dowager had always been punctual.

 

“Hello?” He picked the call up, absent-mindedly.

 

The Empress Dowager said: “I heard that you were involved in a medical accident. Are you injured?”

 

Upon asking that question, her tone was flat, no different from asking him if he had eaten. After all, his mother had struggled on the front line all her life and there were no storms and waves she hadn’t seen.

 

“No, a fool blocked the knife for me.” Zhang Yuze put his mobile phone on his desk while he changed into a white coat.

 

“Is he the one from last night’s post?” It looked like the Empress Dowager still had the precognition abilities of an ancient God.

 

“Right.” Zhang Yuze turned on his computer.

 

“Then thank him very much.” The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, then continued: “And since you have decided to let go of Shen Mo and start a new relationship, you should treat him well and not disappoint him.”

 

Zhang Yuze was helpless. His mother had no idea that he had found a scumbag from a novel as his boyfriend.

 

“Okay, I got it.”

 

Before hanging up the phone, Mother Zhang reminded: “Carry condoms with you and test for AIDS in advance.”

 

Zhang Yuze hung up the phone feeling distressed. Although those words were no different from normal medical instructions from one’s family’s doctor, it was still too awkward for his mother to remind him.

 

And he and Xu Li didn’t need it either.

 

Fake love. The type that didn’t go to the heart, and neither went to the kidneys.

 

…………

 

Xu Li went upstairs after changing his medicine, sat down on the edge of the desk in Zhang Yuze’s office, and watched him and Xiao Jie get busy.

 

Zhang Yuze glanced at him: “What are you doing sitting here?”

 

Xiao Jie: “Damn, Assistant Xu, why are you here? Have you already recovered?”

 

Xu Li smiled and crossed his long legs, saying slowly: “I’m here to watch over my boyfriend.”

 

Zhang Yuze couldn’t help but complain: “Just get out of here. Are you falling in love with me or illegally monitoring me?”

 

Xu Li shook his mobile phone, sat firmly, and said with a smile: “It said on the Internet that a boyfriend needs to be watched all the time.”

 

Zhang Yuze: “Get out of here.”

 

Thanks to him, poor Comrade Xiao was in a trance all day long, without even daring to touch Zhang Yuze’s hand when he handed over things.

 

At lunchtime, Zhao Xiaole, Xiao Jie, and Zhang Yuze sat in the canteen, facing Xu Li. As for Zhao Xiaole, she stared at Zhang Yuze’s neck for a long time. Suddenly, she seemed possessed by Conan’s spirit, asking: “Where did you sleep last night?”

 

Zhang Yuze calmly took a bite of rice: “At home.”

 

“Whose home?” Zhao Xiaole seemed reluctant to give up the chase.

 

Zhang Yuze didn’t want her to know that he stayed over at Xu Li’s house to take care of him last night, which made him look way too attentive. So he opened his mouth and said nonsense: “My own home.”

 

“Drop it.” Zhao Xiaole stretched out her hand and pointed to his neck: “This T-shirt belongs to Assistant Xu. Don’t think I don’t know.”

 

Xiao Jie: “Damn, what breaking news!”

 

Assistant Xu: “Damn, what sharp eyes!”

 

Zhang Yuze: “Don’t ask. Asking leads to committing suicide.”

 

He found that Zhao Xiaole had nothing to do all day long, and she even had enough free time to observe what T-shirts others were wearing.

 

After such an absurd fuss for a day, Xu Li was playing with his mobile phone feeling bored, when suddenly it came to life in his hands. He took a look at the display and soon enough, his face changed. Xu Li quietly glanced at Zhang Yuze, who was still working, and then hung up the phone as if nothing had happened.

 

From behind the computer screen, Zhang Yuze suddenly asked: “Don’t you need to answer that?”

 

Xu Li: “… Phone sales.”

 

Zhang Yuze: “Oh.”

 

The phone rang again.

 

Zhang Yuze: “I can see that the other party really wants to sell you something.”

 

Xu Li: “Hahaha… Yes.”

 

Xiao Jie: “Damn, even salesmen are so professional now.”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

“Got it, boyfriend.” Zhang Yuze’s eyes flashed with amusement. He looked up from behind the computer and stared at Xu Li sinisterly: “Let me check your phone too?”
