Since resigning, Liang Suici’s life has become more leisurely. When he is free, he looks at the dishes in the living room and plays games on the computer. He can sleep until he wakes up naturally every day.
He is actually very satisfied with such a leisurely life, but Li Xi mistakenly thinks that he is sad and bored every day. He often finishes his work in the morning and stays with him in the afternoon and evening.
The mode of getting along with the two of them these days has actually been very common. Although there is no excessive coldness, it is impossible to return to the closeness when they were together before. Li Xi also understood that no matter what he did, the harm between the two had become a fact, and even if he regretted it or was sad, he couldn’t change it.
On this day, Li Xi was about to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, but Liang Suici suddenly said on a whim that he wanted to go with him.
Hearing this request, Li Xi was almost a little flattered. He was not sure if this was a sign that Liang Suici’s attitude towards him was beginning to soften… But whether it was or not, he had no reason to refuse at all.
After dinner in the evening, Li Xi packed up his things roughly, changed his clothes, and waited for Liang Suici.
Usually the heating was turned on at home, so he only wore a comfortable cardigan. But in the north, the temperature difference between inside and outside the house was too great, and Li Xi was worried that he would catch a cold, so he couldn’t help but exhort, “It’s still very cold outside. Would you like to wear more?”
“Oh…” Liang Suici listened to him, then slowly took out the down jacket from the closet and put it on.
Even though his condition was stable under the control of drugs, the loss of protein in his body and the severe symptoms of anemia still made him lose weight visibly to the naked eye. What’s more, his complexion was already very white, and his long hair was scattered on his forehead. Against the extreme black and white background, his face was pale and bloodless.
“Do you have anything you want to buy? You tell me, I’ll bring it back for you…” Li Xi looked at him and suddenly felt a little uneasy. The joy in his heart because he wanted to go out with him faded, and he even didn’t want him to go.
“Well… no, I just want to go out for a walk, and I’m a little bored at home every day.” As he said, he took out the mask from the drawer of the closet and brought it to himself. His tone was a little relaxed and natural. “Let’s go.”
Li Xi didn’t say anything anymore, thinking about going out for a walk. Maybe he would feel better.
Because it was a working day and it was not time to get off work, there were not many people in the supermarket, but the heating inside was very full. Li Xi got a little sweaty after strolling around for a while, so he simply took off his coat.
After the two of them finished buying daily necessities, Liang Suici walked to the snack area, looked at it for a while, and took a few packs of potato chips from the shelf and put them in Li Xi’s shopping cart.
Li Xi looked at the packets of potato chips for a while and couldn’t help but say, “Do you want to eat this?”
“This is unhealthy, why don’t we buy some fruit and milk…”
Perhaps it was too stuffy. Liang Suici had already taken off his mask at this time and shook his head, “I have eaten fruit for many days.”
Hearing what he said, Li Xi could only sigh softly because he needed to supplement protein and vitamins. The main ingredients in his recipes were vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich fresh milk, but he should be really tired of it…
“Okay, but this thing is really unhealthy. Don’t you doctors know how to keep healthy? Why do you still want to eat this kind of thing…”
The heating in the mall was fully turned on, and there were gradually more people. Maybe he had been staying at home and hadn’t been out for too long. Li Xi could obviously feel that he was in a very good mood and looked very relaxed.
After visiting the supermarket, Li Xi followed him all the way to the flower, bird, and fish market, where there were various small domestic animals and potted flowers.
When he finally went home, while Li Xi was waiting for the traffic lights, he saw that he was still fiddling with the potted plants he had just bought, and finally couldn’t help asking, “So you like to raise flowers, why didn’t I know before?”
“It doesn’t count, it’s just that I have a lot of time now and I want to try different hobbies…” He said, as he looked down at the orchid in his hand and smiled, “But I’m afraid it may not live long in my hands.”
His smile was actually very inconspicuous and short-lived. Li Xi looked at it but couldn’t help but feel a warm current surging through his heart, or felt that the atmosphere was too beautiful and he was a bit unbearable to break it. He was silent for a while before saying, “No, you can definitely raise it well.”

After sleeping until midnight at night, Li Xi habitually woke up once. He subconsciously looked at the people around him, but this look scared him away.
He saw the person who was sleeping on the other side of the bed, now had his body already curled up into a ball at this time. His body was trembling uncontrollably, his forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and his face was abnormally red.
He seemed to be still conscious. Seeing Li Xi turn on the headlight, he opened his eyes and asked with difficulty, “Li Xi?”
The voice was hoarse and weak, and Li Xi was trembling with fear. He hurriedly called an ambulance and then went over to hug him and comfort him. “Is it uncomfortable? Don’t be afraid… It’ll be fine in a while—”
“Do you want to drink water? I’ll pour you some water…” His skin was terrifyingly hot. Li Xi knew that under such a high fever, people must be in a state of dehydration, so he quickly went to pour him a glass of warm water.
Liang Suici drank most of the glass of water with his hand. As soon as Li Xi put the glass down, he turned his head and saw him struggling to get out of bed with his nose covered. There were still a few shocking drops of blood on the bed.
Li Xi’s heart was shocked, knowing that he had a nosebleed again.
There was a constant sound of rushing water in the bathroom. Li Xi wrapped the prepared ice pack in a towel and applied it to the bridge of his nose, but there were still nosebleeds gushing out of his nasal cavity, and the clothes of both of them were stained with blood, which looked particularly shocking.
Li Xi’s hands and feet were cold. All this seemed to be without warning, or it seemed as if he had expected it. An uncontrollable panic grabbed his heart, and he had never been so desperate at this moment. Every minute and every second of the night was extremely long, and by the time the ambulance came, Liang Suici was almost unconscious.
The hospital was so noisy in the middle of the night that the doctor first gave him an emergency blood transfusion and then immediately arranged for hospitalization.
“It’s a high fever caused by a lung infection. It’s normal… Don’t worry too much, but he still needs to be hospitalized for a few days.”
Li Xi felt that his hands were still trembling uncontrollably. He didn’t say anything after listening, but nodded in silence.
“Mr. Li, would you like to arrange a room for you to take a break too?” The doctor was a little surprised at the relationship between the two. If it happened last time, then today in the middle of the night… the two of them were wearing pajamas… The relationship must not be as simple as friends. But as a doctor, he shouldn’t have extra curiosity about these things.
But even if you don’t ask, it’s easy to imagine from his experience that the one inside was probably Mr. Li’s lover… After all, he was indeed a rare, handsome, and good-looking person. It was a look that was hard to forget after seeing it once.
“Don’t bother so much… When will he wake up? I mean, give me a folding bed in his room, this should be okay.” His appearance is actually very embarrassing now. The blood on his chest was mixed with the traces of water that hadn’t dried yet, and his expression was very ugly. Even his always sharp and calm eyes were a bit dazed.
The doctor didn’t expect him to make this request and was startled for a while, “Of course this is no problem… As for when the patient wakes up, it will probably be fine when the fever is gone…”
Li Xi nodded for a long time, then took a deep breath before pushing away the chair and standing up.
—
The doctor was right. After the nurse took his temperature on a routine basis the next afternoon, Liang Suici really woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he found Li Xi sitting on the sofa opposite his bed, wearing a strict and slim black suit, staring at the computer in his hand, frowning tightly.
There was no trace of exhaustion on his face, and he couldn’t tell that he had stayed up all night last night.
Liang Suici glanced around the room and found that it was still the last one. In the end, his gaze fell on a few pots of orchids that were blooming just right on the balcony. Obviously, they weren’t present last time.
He was really a very nice person. As a partner, he could be considered perfect. Even for his scumbag ex, he was still meticulous and benevolent.
[Master host, you must get better soon.］
Chu Yan smiled: [Don’t worry.］
He was actually not worried about this problem. As he said before, leukemia was not a terminal illness at all. With the best medical conditions, he should be able to live for a long time. What he really should have solved was the previous cheating incident as well as the problems of his parents.
At noon, Li Xi brought the soup from home. Cod soup, as a deep-sea fish, has delicious meat and rich protein. Just stewing it can stimulate its most pure aroma, not to mention Li Xi’s cooking skills are very good, and the aroma almost permeates the entire ward after the lid is opened.
Zhang Chengye heard that Liang Suici was hospitalized again, and after thinking about it, he came to visit again. After all, he had slandered him like that before, and it was actually quite complicated to see him like this now.
He had seen too many people with one set on the surface and one set on the back. At first glance, he saw someone like Liang Suici who was a bit… how to put it, maybe a bit of a really high-minded person, and his mood was really subtle.
In fact, he didn’t think about it clearly before he thought about it. If he was really with Li Xi for money, according to Li Xi’s obedience to him, it would be easy to buy a few properties in M City casually, how could he be so stupid…
