After turning on the heater, as soon as the cold air circulated inside and outside the car, the windshield was quickly covered with a layer of mist. Liang Suici looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked Li Xi, “Where are we going?”
The warm wind slowly raised the temperature in the car, and Li Xi took off his coat. He was wearing a solid-color shirt. The well-cut shirt made his figure look very neat. When he looked straight ahead and didn’t speak, he looked elegant and powerful.
“Go back to the apartment,” He turned the steering wheel and reversed, as if inadvertently saying, “Also, my mother asked me to take you home for dinner tomorrow, so you should be prepared.”
“Eat?” Liang Suici suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xi, with an unexpected look in his eyes, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
“Why? Don’t you want to?”
“But…”
Li Xi interrupted him in a troubled mood, “I will have someone prepare the gift for you. Don’t leave after getting off work. I will go directly to the hospital to pick you up.”
His tone was very impatient. His beautiful curved lips were tightly pursed, but the hand holding the steering wheel was too hard, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed. Under the reflection of the faint lights in the car, his face was as cold as frost.
After a moment of silence, there was a muffled, compromise-like sound, “Okay then.”
Li Xi paused with his fingers, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart. He took a deep breath, suppressed all those emotions, and said smoothly, “My parents don’t know what you did yet.”
When he said this, there was a slight pause in the middle, but if he didn’t listen carefully, he wouldn’t notice it at all.
This was easy to understand, but Liang Suici was not very surprised. After all, no one wants to be known for wearing a green hat as soon as they get married, because this is a great shame for a man!
“Hmm.” Liang Suici responded softly, indicating that he knew, and then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
It was a thick night outside the car, and the street lights were like water. After passing through several still bustling urban streets, it stopped for a short while.
The house had been cleaned, and there was no way to see that no one had lived there for a long time. Li Xi took the lead and threw his coat on the sofa in the living room and went straight upstairs. He didn’t say a word during the period.
Liang Suici followed him and slowly changed his shoes. The temperature in the room was very high. He took off his coat and scarf again, and sat on the sofa with a slightly surprised look.
When Li Xi came down from the shower, he looked around in the living room and didn’t see anyone. Just when Li Xi thought he was gone, he finally saw someone drinking water in the kitchen.
He was holding the glass in his hand, with slender fingers and snow-white fingertips. With his head slightly lowered, his soft jet-black hair hung gently on his cheeks, and he looked exceptionally quiet and well-behaved.
Li Xi stood at the door and watched for a while before reminding him, “Your things will be moved this weekend, today—”
He paused before he finished speaking. His face changed, and he strode in the direction of Liang Suici.
“What’s the matter?” Liang Suici asked suspiciously. Suddenly, his nasal cavity became hot, and a warm feeling came from above his lips.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, but he touched a hand of blood, some of which dripped on the floor along his fingers.
“Head down.” Li Xi ordered in a deep voice, vacated a hand, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, and helped him to the bathroom.
The cold water poured into the nasal cavity, so that after repeated cleansing several times, the blood gradually stopped.
Liang Suici straightened up, but found that there were also a few drops of blood on his sweater, which looked particularly obvious.
“What’s the matter?” Li Xi wet the towel with cold water and handed it to him. His fingers were still a little stiff. The beating of his heart at that moment was so violent that there was still a little panic and suffocation like drowning.
Liang Suici took the towel and covered it on the bridge of his nose. He looked at him and said sullenly, “It may be that the weather is too dry.”
When the two of them were together before, Li Xi discovered that he had this problem. He often had nosebleeds in the autumn and winter. The most serious one was in the hospital. At that time, he was taken aback when he saw it for the first time. He thought he was seriously ill.
After all, there were very few adults like him who had nosebleeds at every turn.
“You are a doctor yourself. Don’t you know how to pay attention to your diet?”
Seeing that the blood had stopped, Liang Suici took the towel away from his nose, “I will pay attention to it in the future.”
Li Xi looked at his bloodless face and said blankly, “Apply it for a while.”
“It has stopped.”
Li Xi looked at him for a while, then pursed his lips, turned and walked out of the bathroom, “Whatever you want.”
—
Liang Suici was awakened by the alarm clock the next day. He rolled around on the soft bed and sighed contentedly.
Li Xi said that he wanted to be his lover, but he didn’t fulfill any of his lover’s obligations. Except that his temper seemed to have deteriorated a little bit, it almost didn’t seem to be much different from before.
When Liang Suici went downstairs after washing up, he found that Li Xi had already finished breakfast and went out.
So early? Did he avoid him on purpose?
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and went to the kitchen for a snack. Sure enough, he found a breakfast left behind—a grilled sandwich with oatmeal.
[Master host, won’t you eat it?]
[Of course I can’t eat it.] No matter how calm Li Xi appeared on the surface now, the hatred in his heart for himself had not been reduced by half, and no matter how small it was, he could completely get out of control.
Liang Suici packed his things. Because the car was being sent for an annual inspection, he could only take the subway to work.
By the end of the year, there were a lot of patients in the hospital, and the inpatient department was almost full. At noon, Liang Suici had just finished checking the room and bumped into Chen Wanying around the corner.
“Dr. Liang,” Chen Wanying smiled and asked with concern, “Did your injury… get better yesterday?”
Liang Suici also returned a polite smile, “Thank you for your concern, but it’s not a big problem.”
“Then at noon—”
The mobile phone rang coldly, and the second half of Chen Wanying’s words were also blocked.
Liang Suici took out his mobile phone. After seeing the caller ID, the expression on his face changed. He smiled apologetically at Chen Wanying and went to a quiet place as he walked.
“Hello—”
The sound on the other end of the phone pierced his ears with a noise, and it was extremely clear. Li Xi paused with a pen in his hand, “I asked someone to send you a set of clothes, and you will wear that set at night.”
His tone was unquestionable; it was completely the tone of command, and he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak.
Li Xi hung up the phone, and his face seemed to be stained with a thick shadow. He thought that he could maintain a completely indifferent and disdainful attitude when facing this person, and he could humiliate him severely and make him regret what he had done to him…
Since all he cared about was money, why should he pay for these feelings that were worthless in his eyes?
Liang Suici—
Li Xi meditated on the name in his mind, but what accompanied it was a strong unwillingness.
After a busy sound, Liang Suici was sure that the other party had hung up the phone.
This was completely contrary to what he had done before. Liang Suici remembered that Li Xi was actually very clingy when it came to falling in love. For example, on the phone, even if he reacted coldly, he could talk for a long time alone.
Back in the office, Liang Suici saw a beautifully packed box on the table.
Liang Suici didn’t take it apart, but put it in the cupboard casually.
……
In the afternoon, there was a lot of traffic on the street. Liang Suici changed his clothes and got off work after clicking out. Almost at the same time, he received a call from Li Xi again.
Li Xi’s car was parked in the parking lot, and through the glass, he just saw Liang Suici walking in his direction.
He was still wearing his own windbreaker, surrounded by a black scarf, with a mobile phone in his hand, and a paper bag in his other hand, still looking around.
Li Xi hung up the phone and honked his horn.
Liang Suici followed the sound to find his black Bugatti, opened the door and sat down.
Li Xi asked him while paying attention to the road conditions, “Didn’t I let you wear the suit I gave you?”
Liang Suici tilted his head out of the window and said nothing.
The vehicle bumped when it passed the protective belt, and Li Xi asked again, “Didn’t I let you wear the suit I gave you?”
Accompanied by his voice, a harsh and sharp brake sound sounded, followed by a stronger vibration. Liang Suici was forced by this inertia to lean forward, and then fell heavily on the seat of the car.
With anger suppressed in Li Xi’s eyes, he parked his car on the side of the road, “Get out of the car.”
