HD Chapter 8

Even after taking the medicine, Xu Zhi’s biological clock was not affected, and he still woke up on time at ten o’clock the next morning.

But the medicine didn’t wear off, and he felt a little dizzy, as if he were drunk.

He laid on the bed and calmed down for a while before regaining consciousness. The first thing that came to his mind was to see if Zhou Mu was still there.

He hurriedly got out of bed, and as soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, he saw Zhou Mu who was about to knock on the door.

“Good morning.” Zhou Mu lowered his half-raised arm and greeted Xu Zhi.

Suddenly being so close to Zhou Mu, Xu Zhi was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.

He paused reflexively and leaned his upper body back. Zhou Mu stretched out his hand to help him.

“Doctor Wen told me to get the report today,” Zhou Mu said, “I planned to wake you up.”

“Alright,” Xu Zhi nodded and looked Zhou Mu up and down, confirming that he was indeed still there. “I’ll change my clothes.”

Zhou Mu nodded, “I’ll wait for you in the living room.”

“Come in,” Xu Zhi said, “I’ll bring you the new clothes.”

Zhou Mu was still wearing the robe that Xu Zhi had given him yesterday. After hearing this, he followed Xu Zhi into the bedroom. Xu Zhi was a person who paid great attention to details in his life and had a slight tendency for tidiness.

Every piece of furniture in the bedroom was the same as yesterday. Zhou Mu still walked to the bed and sat down, waiting for Xu Zhi to get him clothes.

Xu Zhi took out two sets of clothes of the same style and different colors from the closet. When he turned around, he saw that Zhou Mu had taken off his robe and was sitting on the bed, looking at him.

Still naked.

“Are you into exhibitionism or something?” Xu Zhi asked Zhou Mu loudly.

“No,” Zhou Mu shook his head, his smooth, uneven hair swaying slightly with his movements, “You have seen it anyway, haven’t you?”

Xu Zhi wanted to refute, but Zhou Mu said again, “More than once.”

“It’s not that I wanted to see it,” Xu Zhi muttered, turning his head away. He handed one of the clothes to Zhou Mu, “Put it on quickly.”

Zhou Mu took the clothes without putting them on, but looked up at Xu Zhi smiling, “Xu Zhi, I don’t have a change of underwear, do you want me to be naked?”

Xu Zhi subconsciously looked at his lower body and then thought uncontrollably that Zhou Mu’s physical characteristics were very superior and that it would be great to go to bed with him.

“Does it look good?” Zhou Mu asked, interrupting Xu Zhi’s unbecoming thoughts, his tone somewhat teasing.

Xu Zhi quickly averted his gaze, feeling embarrassed and somewhat nasty, and replied, “It’s just okay.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around. The new underwear was placed in a cubby on the second shelf of the closet. Xu Zhi took out a pair.

Zhou Mu still refused to let him go. He stood up and walked behind Xu Zhi, reaching out and touching Xu Zhi’s ear.

The hairs all over Xu Zhi’s body stood up. His muscles jumped twice reflexively, and he squeezed the hand holding his underwear hard.

“What are you doing!” Xu Zhi turned around and shouted but did not look into Zhou Mu’s eyes.

Zhou Mu approached Xu Zhi’s ear and touched it with his hand, “Xu Zhi, your ears are red.”

Xu Zhi put the underwear into Zhou Mu’s hand and defended himself, “It’s a little hot.”

After saying that, he took his own set of clothes and ran out.

Until he ran out of the bedroom, Xu Zhi could still feel Zhou Mu’s gaze clinging to his back.

Wen Shuyao’s hospital is very efficient. Zhou Mu has done many examinations, some of which have results on the same day, and the latest ones only need to wait for one day.

When they arrived, Wen Shuyao was waiting for them with a stack of inspection reports. When he saw two people coming, he glanced back and forth at the two people before handing the report to Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu took the report and looked at it page by page with a relaxed expression.

Xu Zhi leaned over to take a look but was interrupted by Wen Shuyao. Wen Shuyao said angrily, “There is nothing to see; everything is normal, so what exactly did you bring him to check yesterday?”

“Just treat it as a physical examination.” Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said nonchalantly.

There are not many people in this city who can go to Wen Shuyao’s hospital for a physical examination. After all, it’s extremely expensive here.

“Then how do you plan to pay?” Wen Shuyao reached out and gestured for money.

“Brother Wen,” Xu Zhi smiled shyly and slowly approached Wen Shuyao to act coquettishly, “You want more money from me.”

Wen Shuyao is taller than Xu Zhi, so Xu Zhi needed to raise his head to talk to him.

He washed his hair just before going out, and the smooth strands of hair hung to both sides, revealing his smooth forehead and a pair of light brown eyes.

Xu Zhi’s eyes are round, and the color is like a very transparent brown amber. When he acts coquettishly, the ends of his eyes are slightly raised, and he is extremely beautiful.

Not even Wen Shuyao is immune to such Xu Zhi.

Just as he was about to give it up, Zhou Mu asked in an inconsiderate way, “How much does it cost?”

His face was dark, not as if he owed Wen Shuyao money, but as if Wen Shuyao owed him a huge sum of money that he could not repay in several lifetimes.

Wen Shuyao raised the corner of his mouth and asked with interest, “What? Will you give me the money?”

Zhou Mu shook his head and said confidently, “No.”

Wen Shuyao: “…”

Then you are talking nonsense.

“I have no money,” Zhou Mu was not ashamed of this at all. To prove that he really had no money, he added, “I even wear Xu Zhi’s underwear.”

Wen Shuyao: “…”

Xu Zhi: “…”

“Zhou Mu,” Xu Zhi reacted and reached out to cover Zhou Mu’s mouth, educating him seriously and seriously, “There are some things that cannot be said outside.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Wen Shuyao didn’t seem to care very much, “I suspected it since yesterday.”

He quickly scribbled a series of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Zhi, his eyes fixed on him. “Let Xu Zhi cover the cost of your medical examination, it’s only fair.”

Xu Zhi held the piece of paper with the amount to be paid written on it and was about to put on that coquettish expression. Wen Shuyao simply turned around and didn’t look at him.

Xu Zhi had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and click the transfer button very unhappily, not forgetting to ridicule him, “Stingy.”

Wen Shuyao’s phone vibrated briefly. He took out his phone and took a look, “It’s not the first time.” Then he put his phone back. “Young Master Xu isn’t short on money.”

Xu Zhi ignored him, put away his phone, rolled his eyes at Zhou Mu, and walked away angrily.

Zhou Mu caught up with him in a good temper and coaxed in Xu Zhi’s ear. From Wen Shuyao’s perspective, the two of them were wearing the same clothes, and they looked so harmonious.

They did not go home directly after coming out of the hospital. Xu Zhi took Zhou Mu to a nearby restaurant for dinner and then took him to the mall to choose some clothes, shoes, and some daily necessities. It was a pleasure to swipe his card.

It was getting dark outside when they arrived home. Zhou Mu took the stack of reports that was nearly one centimeter thick and said to Xu Zhi with an expression that he had known for a long time, “I’ll just tell you.”

Although Xu Zhi is a very skeptical person, he has not yet reached the point of doubting modern medical technology.

He accepted the conclusion that “Zhou Mu is a human being” without any objection, but he was far less happy than Zhou Mu.

In Xu Zhi’s opinion, living with a human of unknown origin is more troublesome than living with a non-human.

“Zhou Mu,” Xu Zhi took the checklist, flipped it over a few times, and asked him, “What are your plans?”

“Huh?” Zhou Mu was about to go to the kitchen to pour water and medicine for Xu Zhi. He stopped after hearing this and asked him, “What do you mean?”

Thinking of Zhou Mu’s nestling complex, Xu Zhi paused and said, “Since the test results are normal, I will help you find a house tomorrow.”

As expected, Zhou Mu’s face suddenly darkened after hearing this.

There was a very tense atmosphere in the living room. There was plenty of air, but Xu Zhi still felt out of breath. The reason was simple. Zhou Mu’s face was very ugly.

The two were in a stalemate for a few seconds. Zhou Mu did not express his position and continued to walk towards the kitchen.

He received a glass of warm water in the kitchen, picked up a medicine box from the coffee table, counted out a few pills, and handed them over together, “No.”

“Huh?” Xu Zhi took the medicine and was a little unresponsive.

“No,” Zhou Mu repeated, “I won’t move.”

His voice was stubborn and a little aggrieved, as if if Xu Zhi abandoned him, there would be nothing he could do.

Xu Zhi thought that he was obviously 27 years old, one year older than himself.

Xu Zhi picked up the water cup, gulped the medicine down, and asked him, “Why?”

“Why do fictional characters appear in real life?” Zhou Mu raised his head and looked around at Xu Zhi’s house. “I can’t explain it, and it’s hard to imagine.”

“But Xu Zhi,” Zhou Mu walked over and sat next to Xu Zhi, and said in a serious tone, “I can’t live without you.”

Xu Zhi, I can’t live without you.

Xu Zhi was convinced that no one had said this to Xu Zhi before, and Zhou Mu certainly had not said anything similar to anyone.

However, when Zhou Mu said this, he was both serious and smooth, as if he had already said it countless times to Xu Zhi, making Xu Zhi feel as if he had also heard this sentence before, to the point that it didn’t seem out of place at all.

Xu Zhi was already a little out of it at this moment. He thought it was because of the medicine he had taken. The medicine prescribed by Wen Shuyao always worked quickly.

There are some questions that he can’t understand.

Xu Zhi is the person with the most time to spare, and he mechanically repeats the same life every day, living a tedious and lengthy existence, checking the clock more than ten times a day.

But Zhou Mu is like a time-accelerating device that goes against the laws of nature. It has no triggering mechanism. Just putting him next to Xu Zhi makes Xu Zhi’s time fly faster.

Finally, Xu Zhi blinked and said, “Okay then.”

There are many options that can be considered for inclusion in Doc2.

For example, Zhou Mu always makes Xu Zhi blush. For example, Zhou Mu is very shameless and refuses to leave Xu Zhi’s house. It’s trivial, but he doesn’t know why it takes up a whole day.

Xu Zhi thought for a while and picked out the least important but most worthy of recording among the trivial things.

Doc2: On July 12, Zhou Mu was confirmed to be human.
