OFBL Chapter 12

After parking the car in front of Xu Li’s house, Zhang Yuze raised his chin to the gate of the community and said: “Get out of here.”

 

However, strangely enough, Xu Li asked: “Won’t you come with me?”

 

“No, I’m going home.” Zhang Yuze answered calmly. “It’s uncomfortable to stay in your house.”

 

“So you’ll just leave me sick and alone at home?” Xu Li looked unconvinced.

 

“Yes.” Zhang Yuze felt no pity for him. Feeling sorry for the scum was the beginning of suffering.

 

Xu Li stared at his face for half a minute and finally compromised. He got out of the car by himself with his head down, muttering: “Oh, okay, okay, don’t come home with me. Go be busy, get busy…”

 

Zhang Yuze opened the window and scolded him: “Are you acting in some sort of public service advertisement?!”

 

Xu Li sighed again and waved his hand: “Just go. I have to put on my own clothes and pour my own water tonight. I can’t even wear my pants. Maybe I’ll have a fever as well, oh…”

 

Dr. Zhang drove the car away.

 

Before Xu Li finished his lines according to the script, he saw the car’s butt rising in front of him. “So heartless…” He complained silently in his heart and turned to walk upstairs.

 

Although it was quite difficult to accept that one of his arms was indeed crippled, it was not completely impossible to take care of himself slowly. And so, Xu Li carefully took out the keys from his pocket and entered his apartment.

 

As soon as he sat down, he took out his mobile phone and found a message waiting for him.

 

Xu Li: What do you want?

 

The account that messaged him belonged to one of his friends, the short boy who tried to flirt with Zhang Yuze in the bar a few days ago. However, Xu Li didn’t know his real name, nor was he interested in finding it out. It was enough to know that the boy called himself Ah Huo.

 

Ah Huo replied to him quickly: What’s wrong, Brother Xu? Weren’t we planning to go out this evening?

 

Xu Li looked at the wall clock, only to see that it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. He really wanted to lament that those people were young and unlimitedly free…

 

Ah Huo sent another message: Why haven’t you come out for several days? That post of you falling in love that day can’t be true, right?

 

Xu Li replied: I’m injured. Please come and take care of me. I’ll buy you a drink when I recover.

 

After half a day, Ah Huo reluctantly agreed to come and take care of him: Fine, ahh.

 

Xu Li ordered some takeaway for himself, then cut back to WeChat and sent a message to Ah Huo.

 

Xu Li: It’s true that I fell in love.

 

Ah Huo: Then why call me over to take care of you?! Aren’t you afraid your boyfriend will be jealous?!

 

Xu Li paused for a moment, but still replied with a sneer: He’s too lazy to take care of me.

 

As for the lazy Zhang Yuze, he had already driven his car all the way to the main road. However, as soon as it was time to speed, he suddenly felt guilty. After all, Xu Li was indeed injured because of him, and as a doctor, he also had the obligation to take good care of his patients…

 

In addition to that, Xu Li’s wound was still a long way from starting to scab, and it was the peak of infection. He should stay home and take care of him.

 

Thinking about it, Dr. Zhang finally turned around at the next intersection and drove to Xu Li’s community again. After parking the car, he even took his time to try and find a reason for himself. The main point was that Xu Li would for sure ask why he was back, and he truly needed to save face…

 

… But he still thought about it for a long time without any results.

 

Damn it. I’ll just be ashamed then!

 

With his newfound psychological strength, Zhang Yuze went upstairs and knocked on the door of Xu Li’s house.

 

This time, there was a quick reply that came from inside: “Oh, you came so fast! Let me tell you, I won’t reimburse the taxi fee~~”

 

Xu Li opened the door and looked at Zhang Yuze.

 

Zhang Yuze looked at Xu Li’s panicked expression, looking quite similar to a dog with flattened ears who had done something wrong, standing dumbly at the door in a daze.

 

“Who did Assistant Xu make an appointment with?” Dr. Zhang withdrew his gaze and said in a steady tone: “It seems that my timing is bad.”

 

“There is no appointment!” Xu Li grabbed Zhang Yuze’s sleeve and pulled him into the room. “No appointment! Really, I just ordered takeaway. I was wondering why it arrived so fast this time.”

 

Zhang Yuze glanced at him and began to regret coming back…

 

…And what he feared the most still came. “Why are you back?” Xu Li asked.

 

Now Zhang Yuze was truly angry: “I was afraid that you would die at home and the police would come and look for me!”

 

“What your mouth says isn’t the truth, but your heart never lies.” Xu Li patted him to sit down. “You just can’t give up on me.”

 

Zhang Yuze refused to admit it: “As a doctor, I can’t bear to lose any patient.”

 

Xu Li turned restless as soon as he sat down. Zhang Yuze leaned on the sofa and silently observed him with attentive eyes. The takeaway guy… Let’s just say he didn’t believe it.

 

Zhang Yuze was very interested in seeing how his lie would play out.

 

Sure enough, Xu Li pretended for two minutes, took up his mobile phone from the table, and smiled: “I need to go to the bathroom.”

 

“Then go, why bring your mobile phone.” Zhang Yuze said.

 

Xu Li: …

 

“No, it won’t come out without it.” Xu Li sneaked into the toilet with a smile.

 

Zhang Yuze also stood up and looked as usual: “Let me help you take off your pants. Didn’t you just say that it was inconvenient for you to take them off by yourself?”

 

Xu Li pulled his belt and hurriedly said: “No, no, no, it’s convenient, it’s convenient!”

 

Dr. Zhang raised his precious hand and… Xu Li hurriedly closed the bathroom door right in his face and sent a message to Ah Huo.

 

Xu Li: The situation has changed, don’t come!!!

 

He didn’t know whether he was on the way, but Ah Huo never replied to him. But Xu Li was in a hurry. The bar that Ah Huo frequented was not far from his home, and the time was almost there.

 

If Zhang Yuze bumped into him on the spot, he would definitely get stabbed again, this time by Dr. Zhang personally!

 

There was no other choice. Xu Li began to desperately send red envelopes to the group.

 

One second later: Ah Huo received your red envelope.

 

Damn, you don’t know how to reply to my messages, but you know how to grab red envelopes so quickly!

 

Ah Huo finally replied to him with a question mark: Brother Xu, I’m almost there…

 

Xu Li typed quickly with one hand: I’ll take care of your drinks! Just hurry up and disappear! My boyfriend is here to catch me in the act!!!

 

Ah Huo: …?!

 

At that moment, Zhang Yuze knocked on the door and whispered: “Assistant Xu, don’t hide in the toilet to send messages. Pull your pants on and come out.”

 

Xu Li: …

 

Before coming out of the bathroom, his mobile phone shook, and Ah Huo sent another message.

 

Ah Huo: By the way, who is this person? Can he actually catch you in the act, the king of adulterers?

 

Xu Li looked at the message speechlessly. He didn’t know he was like that in the eyes of everyone else…

 

So it was true. He really was a stallion!

 

…………

 

The next day, Zhang Yuze still dragged Xu Li to work as usual. As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xiaole stopped them and said: “Dr. Zhang, Assistant Xu can’t wait for you in the office today.”

 

Xu Li was stunned: “Why? This used to be my office, and now I can’t even sit here?!”

 

Zhao Xiaole waved her hand and said: “No, we received a complaint yesterday afternoon. Some patients said that there was always a man with a single arm in the Cardiac Department who occupied medical resources.”

 

“…”

 

Zhang Yuze thought for a while and asked: “Zhao Xiaole, I remember there’s a children’s room that the staff could use during vacations. Where is it?”

 

Xu Li: ?!

 

In the end, Little Assistant Xu shrank in the children’s area, with his long legs suffocating, sitting close to a group of children doing homework. Zhang Yuze wanted to laugh when he saw him like that. Before leaving, he even said: “Do your homework well. I’ll come to check it at noon.”

 

Xu Li: “Die!”

 

After Dr. Zhang left, Xu Li stared at a short-haired girl. The little girl was doing her Chinese homework, just learning the subject of international fairy tales.

 

She looked at Xu Li and asked in a milky voice: “Brother, can you tell me the story of Sleeping Beauty? There is this question in the homework, and I can’t do it.”

 

Xu Li looked at the innocent face of the little girl, cleared his throat, and said: “Okay, I’ll tell you.”

 

The little girl moved a small stool and stared at him seriously and expectantly.

 

Xu Li continued: “A long time ago, there was a beautiful princess who was cursed by a witch before she was born. The day she lived to adulthood, she was to get stabbed to death by a spindle. From then on, she could not wake up until the kiss of true love lifted the curse.”

 

The little girl nodded and said excitedly: “Then, Prince Charming is definitely going to appear!”

 

Xu Li pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled kindly: “Then she died because there is no true love kiss in the world. Prince Charming is a heartless man who already married countless wives. The story is over.”

 

Little girl: ?!

 

Xu Li laughed and continued: “I just want to tell you that fairy tales are all fake. When you grow up, don’t be easily deceived by men, and don’t believe Prince Charming. She is a princess. Why would she have to live on some true love kiss?”

 

In fact, Xu Li’s words were very philosophical. In the first 20 years of living as an animated corpse, his greatest philosophy of life was summarized by his mother’s failed marriage.

 

Unfortunately, the little girl was not old enough to understand that kind of profound philosophy. After listening to Xu Li’s words, she glared at him and whispered: “Where did this bachelor come from? What a letdown.”

 

Xu Li: …

 

Assistant Xu decided to prove himself and retorted: “Can’t I have a partner?!”

 

The little girl stuck out her tongue: “It must be an ugly monster!”

 

Dr. Zhang’s face appeared in his mind, and Xu Li instantly came to his senses. To be honest, although he really, truly didn’t want to admit it, Zhang Yuze’s facial features were right on Xu Li’s aesthetics. Heroic and masculine, fresh and out of the ordinary, with a very good figure. Which gay man would not be moved when he saw it?!

 

Xu Li held his cheek with a smile in his eyes and said: “Really, really not ugly!”

 

…………

 

At noon, Xu Li, Zhang Yuze, Zhao Xiaole, and Xiao Jie gathered together at a table. Xu Li enjoyed the meal made for him by Zhang Yuze, looking like an old, spoiled husband.

 

Xiao Jie: “Love is so sweet…”

 

Zhang Yuze: “See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil…” Seeing Xu Li’s appearance, Zhang Yuze really wanted to drop the meal on his head.

 

“Today’s dish is really bad.” Zhao Xiaole stared at the celery and stir-fried carrots on her plate.

 

“Wow, this is really not fit for human consumption.” Xiao Jie was really soft-spoken even when cursing.

 

Zhang Yuze was also annoyed when he saw the celery, so he took the chopsticks and prepared to dump it all on Xu Li’s plate. Unexpectedly, Xu Li also had the same idea, piling mountains of carrots on his side.

 

“Use the public chopsticks.” Zhang Yuze frowned.

 

Xu Li looked quite blank for a moment, before commenting: “I’ve even kissed you before, why are you disgusted by my chopsticks?”

 

Zhao Xiaole grabbed Xiao Jie’s collar, her excitement overflowing. Xiao Jie’s expression was also wonderful since he almost had the word “stumbled” written on his forehead.

 

Zhang Yuze: “…”

 

Xu Li: “…”
