Li Xi walked over and sat down by the bed, tracing his eyebrows over and over again with his gaze, but his heart was always shrouded in an indelible haze.
He has been in good health since he was a child, and he rarely gets sick, and he can’t know how uncomfortable and painful the sick person feels. If possible, he wished he could bear this on his behalf, instead of watching him drag his life with this illness every day, but he was completely powerless.
Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel his gaze. Chu Yan gradually opened his eyes, and there was a moment of haze in front of him, and it took a while for his focus to return to normal.
Li Xi quickly retracted his gaze and asked, “What book are you reading?”
Chu Yan lowered his head and put the book back in his hand, flipped it over, and showed Li Xi the cover—it was a very ordinary casual book, probably a novel or something.
“Hmm…” Li Xi nodded to indicate that he knew. When he saw him open the pages of the book again and read it carefully, he didn’t continue to disturb him. For a while, only the rustling of the pages of the book was heard in the room.
His serious appearance was actually very attractive. The drooping eyelashes cast a light shadow under his eyes, which softened his cold outline a lot. Because of his pale face, his complexion showed an ice-like texture under the watery light.
Li Xi leaned over almost involuntarily, trying to attract his gaze, trying to let his gaze fall on him.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Yan noticed Li Xi who was suddenly approaching, and asked with some confusion.
Li Xi subconsciously found a topic and asked, “Does this book look good?”
“It’s okay, it’s for passing time…” Chu Yan didn’t think so much, and replied casually without raising his head.
Li Xi’s gaze fell on his face, and there was a hint of heat in his gaze, but he didn’t dare to show it, so he could only tentatively ask, “Do you understand what I said this afternoon?”
Chu Yan pondered for a while, put down the book in his hand, and finally raised his eyes to him.
Li Xi stared at him with unprecedented seriousness.
“You, do you really think so?”
Li Xi was startled, “Yes.”
Chu Yan paused for a while before slowly speaking, “But I may not live that long. Are you sure you want to accompany me to wait with this illusory hope? Or maybe…maybe I will never be able to wait for the bone marrow transplant… If you continue to treat day after day, your pain and suffering will not be less.”
Li Xi listened to him analyzing himself so rationally, and a strong feeling of pain spread from his chest. This is the truth… But when he spoke, his voice was extremely firm, “I know.”
Chu Yan sighed, “Once I start chemotherapy, I will become ugly, puffy, and even lose my hair one day. Are you really sure?”
Li Xi nodded and said unwaveringly, “I’m sure.”
Chu Yan looked at him for a while, then turned his head and smiled. There was even a hint of relaxation in that smile. Li Xi looked at him nervously, his hands on his knees clenched into fists, and even his palms were slightly sweaty.
“Then will you go home or stay here to sleep tonight?”
Li Xi didn’t even understand what he said for a while, but said in a daze, “There is a room next door, I can sleep there.”
After a while, he suddenly reacted, his heart beating like a drum, and he looked at Chu Yan cautiously and asked, “I think your bed is also very big. Can I sleep here?”
Chu Yan didn’t speak, just lowered his head and continued to read his book.
But his attitude was clearly acquiescence, and Li Xi was too excited, “I’ll go and wash first.”
After speaking, he leaned over and kissed Chu Yan’s cheek, then pulled out the pajamas he had brought and walked to the bathroom quickly.
System 2333 took advantage of this effort and immediately popped out: [Master host, what is the male protagonist thinking?]
[Probably he felt very moved.]
The system looked unclear, so how was he moved?
Chu Yan lowered his head and flipped through the book a few times. Maybe he slept too much in the afternoon. Now he was still in good spirits. Then he turned on the TV and tuned in to Qi Mingyan’s TV series. The more he watched it, the more he realized that Qi Mingyan, as the protagonist of this world, was really a very good man.
Li Xi quickly took a shower and wiped the water vapor from his body cleanly so as not to wet the sheets. When he came out of the bathroom, he found that the TV was on again.
He walked over and climbed into the bed, and put his hand loose on Chu Yan’s waist. Seeing that he didn’t mean to sleep yet, he also watched TV with him seriously for a while, but after a while, his mind was not on it. He turned his head to look at the man around him, because he was close, he could even feel the fresh breath on his body. Under the warm light, his side face looked warm and soft.
Li Xi’s heart moved, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, and he couldn’t help but lean over and kiss him again.
Chu Yan had long been accustomed to his little tricks from time to time, but he just smiled, and then pointed to the TV, “Do you recognize him?”
Li Xi was full of happiness, and he only glanced at him casually and nodded, “Yes, I have seen it at the party before.”
While he was talking, one hand slipped quietly into Chu Yan’s pajamas and touched his thin waist, but before he could do anything, he heard Chu Yan snort in pain.
Li Xi immediately stopped moving, looked up at him hurriedly and asked, “What’s the matter?” As he asked, he was about to lift his pajamas.
Seeing that he insisted on seeing it, Chu Yan let him.
Li Xi opened his pajamas and found an obvious bruise near his waist, as well as two small wounds similar to pinholes.
It should have been another puncture before he came in the morning.
Li Xi felt so distressed that he really hugged him obediently, buried his face between his warm neck, and said in a slightly sad tone, “Is it painful?”
Chu Yan shook his head, “It’s okay.”
After waiting for a while, it was about nine o’clock, Chu Yan couldn’t resist the heavy drowsiness and fell asleep. Li Xi touched his cheek and found that he didn’t know if it was because of the heat. His mouth was slightly open and his breathing was a little heavy.
Li Xi was worried that he would be sick like noon again, so he unbuttoned two of his pajamas for him, and then fell asleep with him in his arms.
Not long after he woke up the next morning, a nurse came to draw his blood for a test. Li Xi bought breakfast and came up, but when he went upstairs, he met someone in the elevator.
The man didn’t know if he had a cold or something, and he was still wearing a mask on his face. The reason why Li Xi noticed him may be because Chu Yan asked once last night.
It was the peak hour in the morning, and there were a lot of people in the elevator. Li Xi pressed the number of floors and arrived in a short while.
He didn’t originally put this episode in his heart, but in the afternoon, Chu Yan said he was going for a walk in the garden, and Li Xi went to get him some water. When he came back, he saw two people sitting on a bench in the garden chatting.
Li Xi recalled Chu Yan’s attitude when he mentioned this person yesterday, and found that there was nothing special, so he walked over and handed the water to Chu Yan.
Qi Mingyan was obviously surprised when he saw Li Xi, and then turned his eyes to look at Chu Yan on the side, wondering, “Mr. Li, you guys?”
Li Xi smiled and watched Chu Yan drink the water before turning his head to Qi Mingyan and said, “This is my lover.”
Chu Yan: “……”
Qi Mingyan had long heard that Li Xi had a lover with deep feelings, but the other party was too low-key, so not many people in the circle knew about it, but he didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.
Qi Mingyan smiled, “I see… Then I won’t bother you.”
Then he turned his head to Chu Yan and said, “Dr. Liang, I wish you a speedy recovery, and I will leave first.”
Chu Yan nodded and watched him go away.
Li Xi sat down next to him and shook his hand: “How did you know each other?”
“He has been hospitalized in our hospital before…”
Li Xi just asked casually, and accompanied him to
bask in the sun in the garden before returning to the ward.
