‘

Lu Yuzhou settled Chi Zhongqiao, sat on the bedside and watched for some time. Chi Zhongqiao frowned, and after mendacity down for greater than ten minutes, his respiration regularly calmed down. Lu Yuzhou waited till he was utterly asleep earlier than leaving.

Lu Yuzhou slept for lower than two hours, at all times considering of Chi Zhongqiao in his coronary heart. He bought up and knocked on Chi Zhongqiao’s door when it was virtually 12 o’clock. He didn’t hear a response for a very long time, and his coronary heart instantly hung up.

Happily, Chi Zhongqiao didn’t lock the bed room door at dwelling. Lu Yuzhou was not well mannered, so he pushed the door straight in.

Chi Zhongqiao did certainly have a fever. He was nonetheless drowsily mumbling that he was feeling chilly although he was wrapped in a quilt.

In truth, he has no consciousness at this second. He was already sleepy and the fever was added to it, so he has not woke up from his sleep. Chi Zhongqiao was too drained throughout this time, and fell asleep as quickly as he touched the pillow. He didn’t get up even with six or seven alarm clocks within the morning.

Lu Yuzhou put his hand on Chi Zhongqiao’s brow. The pores and skin beneath his palm was sizzling. Lu Yuzhou’s face instantly modified.

Chi Zhongqiao felt somebody approaching in his sleep. Feeling a bit of cool pores and skin in opposition to his face, Chi Zhongqiao subconsciously pressed Lu Yuzhou’s hand on the pillow together with his face sideways.

He was sweating, and his physique was sizzling. Whereas being grasping for the chilly on Yuzhou’s physique, he whispered, “chilly.”

Lu Yuzhou was frightened by the temperature of his physique for a number of seconds. When he known as the physician, his fingers have been unsteady. He couldn’t transfer his different hand due to Chi Zhongqiao’s strain. Lu Yuzhou pulled his hand away, notifying the physician whereas soaking a towel with chilly water to provide him a chilly compress.

Listening to what he mentioned, the physician placed on his garments and hurried out, hurriedly saying, “Mr. Lu, first use a chilly towel to chill down, after which take Mr. Chi’s physique temperature. Whether it is potential, use alcohol, I shall be there quickly.”

Lu Yuzhou adopted the physician’s recommendation, he took a chilly towel and gave Chi Zhongqiao a chilly compress. Chi Zhongqiao felt chilly, and stored shrinking into the quilt.

Lu Yuzhou was so upset that he merely wrapped the particular person in his arms with the quilt. Chi Zhongqiao was hugged and at last calmed down. A head got here out of the quilt and nestled on Lu Yuzhou’s shoulders and neck.

Lu Yuzhou lowered his head. At this second, his coronary heart appeared to be floating and sinking in boiling oil, and he couldn’t settle down for some time. Chi Zhongqiao had already burned to thirty-nine levels, and he was utterly dizzy. He didn’t even hum. Simply closed his eyes and panted whereas mendacity on Lu Yuzhou.

Why hasn’t the physician arrived but?

When Lu Yuzhou couldn’t bear it, the doorbell lastly rang. Lu Yuzhou gently put Chi Zhongqiao down, rotated and opened the door. The physician introduced the drugs field, and bumped into Chi Zhongqiao’s bed room with out even saying good day.

He injected the drip. With a view to forestall Chi Zhongqiao from transferring round, Lu Yuzhou merely picked up Chi Zhongqiao and let him sleep on him.

It didn’t take lengthy for the drip to take impact. In all probability Chi Zhongqiao didn’t really feel so uncomfortable anymore and obediently nestled in Lu Yuzhou’s arms.

After hanging the primary bottle of saline, the physician went up and altered the drugs bottle for Chi Zhongqiao.

The physician whispered, “Mr. Lu, give him a bit water. The fever needs to be gone after the second bottle is injected. If he’s nonetheless not nicely, you may solely take him to the hospital.” There isn’t any hospital tools at dwelling.

After utilizing the second bottle, Chi Zhongqiao’s physique regularly turned much less sizzling.

When Lu Yuzhou noticed Chi Zhongqiao being asleep peacefully, he lowered his voice, “Brother Qiao has at all times been in good well being. He hasn’t caught a chilly all 12 months spherical. He was within the crew and nobody has the flu. How did it unfold?”

The particular person in his arms was beforehand burnt right into a sizzling iron plate, and his coronary heart pained.

Zhong Yin sends Chi Zhongqiao again every single day and can report back to Du Yusheng about Chi Zhongqiao’s bodily situation. The agent can’t circle across the artist on a regular basis, so he should talk together with his assistant to stop the artist from being sick. In particular seasons just like the spring and autumn seasons, it’s simpler to get sick. Du Yusheng particularly urged him to concentrate to the individuals Chi Zhongqiao normally contacts. Lu Yuzhou additionally paid consideration, so Du Yusheng would go Zhong Yin’s report back to Lu Yuzhou every single day.

The physician taught himself a bit little bit of Chinese language drugs, and shook his head after passing the heart beat, “Diseases will not be at all times transmitted from others. Mr. Chi is in good well being and he normally workouts often, however has he not had a great relaxation lately? Is his food plan additionally regular? “

Lu Yuzhou frowned instantly and shook his head, “Brother Qiao has lately been unable to have a great sleep.” Generally, after he completed the video convention, he noticed that Brother Qiao hadn’t rested but. It’s simply that he himself stayed up late, so he simply exhorted a number of extra phrases, didn’t dare to say extra.

The physician sighed, “Mr. Lu, their laborious work as an actor will not be soaking in chilly water in winter and protecting the quilt in summer season. They’re mentally burdened. In any other case, why are so many actors having psychological issues? Persons are overwhelmed by numerous issues. If they’ve an excessive amount of psychological strain, their physique will certainly reply. For some people who find themselves burdened, their hair will fall off, they’ll’t sleep or they don’t really feel hungry. If they’re extra severe, they may vomit for no purpose. They’re completely worn down.”

The physician began to pack issues up, “I’m additionally speaking about Mr. Lu. You’ve gotten a heavy burden, however you may’t tire your self out. It’s important to relaxation. You’ve gotten a greater bodily basis than others. In any other case,” the physician pointed at Chi Zhongqiao who was curled up in Lu Yuzhou’s arms, after which mentioned, “You’ll be mendacity right here too.”

Lu Yuzhou lowered his head. Though Chi Zhongqiao’s face was blushing, his lips weren’t pale. He picked up the cup on one aspect, dipped a cotton swab in water, and utilized it to Chi Zhongqiao’s lips.

Simply when the physician thought that Lu Yuzhou didn’t take his phrases to coronary heart Lu Yuzhou whispered, “Okay, I’ll concentrate.”

He raised his head and his eyes have been darkish, “It’s not handy to return so late. If Dr. Xue doesn’t dislike it, you may keep within the visitor bed room for one evening.”

The physician shook his head, “It’s good to have one thing to sleep on!”

Lu Yuzhou ought to stand up and take him into the visitor bed room, however Chi Zhongqiao simply snuggled up on him. He was distressed and affectionate, and he was reluctant to stroll away. He weighed for a second between politeness and Brother Qiao , and decisively selected the latter, “I can’t transfer proper now . The visitor bed room is the second room on the fitting hand aspect.”

The physician was very glad. He nodded to Lu Yuzhou. After two steps, he turned his head again, “My data of Chinese language drugs could be very normal and I can’t diagnose a lot by checking the heart beat, however Mr. Chi’s sickness got here too urgently, most likely as a result of he was beneath an excessive amount of strain. After he wakes up, Mr. Lu has to speak with him. Oh, by the best way, please pay extra consideration to his situation within the night, and it’s essential to discover me when it burns.”

Lu Yuzhou nodded.

The physician closed the door gently and left contentedly.

Not lengthy after he left, Chi Zhongqiao completed hanging a bottle of water, and the fever subsided. Chi Zhongqiao had a skinny layer of sweat earlier than, however now that the fever has subsided, he feels chilly, and he retains shrinking into Lu Yuzhou’s arms.

Lu Yuzhou pulled out the needle and was urgent the pinhole for him. He couldn’t maintain Chi Zhongqiao with one hand, so he had no alternative however to press the particular person onto the mattress. His free arm hugged Chi Zhongqiao and patted Chi Zhongqiao’s again evenly.

He stared at Chi Zhongqiao’s sleeping face and whispered, “You don’t seem like you might be apprehensive about something… What are you interested by all day lengthy?”

Lu Yuzhou bought shut, and the recent breath fell on Chi Zhongqiao’s face when he spoke. Chi Zhongqiao felt that his sleep was disturbed. He struggled to free himself and put a hand on Lu Yuzhou’s face, and turned his face reluctantly.

Lu Yuzhou, who was pressed on his face, “…” The pinhole was not bleeding. Lu Yuzhou moved his hand and tucked Chi Zhongqiao’s hand again into the quilt . Chi Zhongqiao’s physique temperature returned to regular, and the sweat on his face was cleaned way back. A plain white face with out make-up, frowning brows and pursed lips, seemed pitiful.

Why are you apprehensive?

Lu Yuzhou lowered his head, touching Chi Zhongqiao’s cheeks, his lips moved barely, “Who upset you?”

Chi Zhongqiao breathed easily.

Lu Yuzhou stared at him for a second, and reached out his hand to darken the lamp beside the mattress.

Being so shut and listening to one another’s breath, it appeared regular to kiss the face of the particular person in his arms when saying goodnight, however Lu Yuzhou resisted it.

Love is so heavy, he can’t even bear to be a bit bit frivolous .

…

Chi Zhongqiao slept till the day was brilliant.

He turned over on the mattress. Though the fever subsided, his chilly was not healed, and his entire physique hurts. After the excessive fever final evening, he was a bit dehydrated and felt weak.

Did I get fucked…

Chi Zhongqiao hasn’t had a headache and fever for a very long time, and this small and troubling illness nonetheless confused him when he awakened. So a horrible concept got here to his thoughts, however he quickly rejected this concept—he was nonetheless at dwelling.

He touched the telephone, and his face abruptly modified when he noticed the time- 10:27! He nonetheless has a present at present!

Chi Zhongqiao stood up abruptly, however it was a pity that his legs have been tender, and he couldn’t arise.

Right now, Lu Yuzhou got here in with the porridge and mentioned, “I’ve requested for a depart for Brother Qiao.”

Chi Zhongqiao’s tight physique relaxed, raised his hand, and seemed on the pinhole on the again of his hand for some time, “Did I’ve a fever final evening? That’s it?”

Lu Yuzhou put down the porridge bowl, “Mm, it was 39°Celsius. If the physician didn’t arrive, your mind would burn and switch you right into a foolish brother Qiao.” He tried the temperature of the porridge bowl, “The porridge continues to be sizzling, Brother Qiao ought to go wash first. “

Chi Zhongqiao nodded, opened the quilt and walked into the toilet.

Whereas brushing his tooth, Chi Zhongqiao frowned on the pale face within the mirror, considering, “It’s estimated that he was swept by the air-conditioning and chilly wind after consuming alcohol final evening.”

After he washed, he was way more sober and sat in entrance of Lu Yuzhou, “Final evening, it was troublesome for you…”

Lu Yuzhou turned his head and mentioned, “Brother Qiao is so well mannered with me. It hurts.”

So Chi Zhongqiao, who mentioned a well mannered sentence, swallowed again his phrases midway. He hesitated for some time, and didn’t know what to say, so he needed to look down on the porridge bowl.

Lu Yuzhou mentioned, “Dr. Xue mentioned that Brother Qiao’s sudden fever was resulting from an excessive amount of strain lately. Did Brother Qiao keep up late?”

Chi Zhongqiao was poked by his query. He thought for some time, and determined to lie, “Didn’t keep up late.”

Lu Yuzhou : “…”

Speaking nonsense together with your eyes open.

Lu Yuzhou intentionally communicated with Chi Zhongqiao, however his brother Qiao didn’t cooperate. When requested about it, he simply didn’t wish to reply.

Lu Yuzhou checked out him quietly for some time, abruptly lowered his eyes, and mentioned softly, “Okay, I gained’t ask. Brother Qiao, take a great relaxation.”

Chi Zhongqiao : “…”

That is horrible.

Chi Zhongqiao stretched out his hand, “Come on, Yuzhou.”

Lu Yuzhou walked over. Chi Zhongqiao took a bag from the desk and took out a field from it. “I went to Shanmin Temple two days in the past and noticed somebody within the temple promoting ​​this.”

Lu Yuzhou questioned.

Chi Zhongqiao opened the field, and inside was a pair of 108 Bodhi bracelets.

”It’s not a really costly factor. I haven’t given it to you as a result of I don’t know say it.” Chi Zhongqiao took Lu Yuzhou’s hand and tied the bracelet round Lu Yuzhou’s wrist. “I didn’t plan to purchase this within the first place. In spite of everything, you don’t purchase these fancy equipment, so I purchased it. I don’t know if you’ll prefer it, so I haven’t given it to you…”

Lu Yuzhou didn’t transfer his hand and let Chi Zhongqiao maintain it gently. He vaguely guessed what Chi Zhongqiao was going to say, most likely these not superb phrases. His brother Qiao used to reward him and didn’t like to show him. Each time there was one thing unsuitable with him, Qiao would present this embarrassed expression as if he had encountered an enormous downside.

For Lu Yuzhou, Chi Zhongqiao additionally occupies half of the elder’s identification. Not solely due to his age, but additionally from a psychological standpoint. Lu Yuzhou didn’t obtain as a lot parental love from his mother and father as Lu Zhuo. Though his grandfather liked him, he was an previous soldier who spent extra time with a gun and couldn’t elevate youngsters. He adopted a stocking coverage for his sons and grandchildren. He was strict and didn’t pamper them. In recent times, he has grown older and his mentality is totally different from the previous, so he isn’t at all times stern.

Chi Zhongqiao is totally different from the previous man. He won’t right Lu Yuzhou’s errors sternly, however will solely gently tug at him when he’s about to show within the unsuitable path .

Identical to now, Chi Zhongqiao curled his eyebrows and checked out him.

Lu Yuzhou’s coronary heart softened first when he noticed his apprehensive look.

Chi Zhongqiao squeezed Lu Yuzhou’s finger, and contemplated his phrases many instances together with his lips pressed. In truth, even when he simply mentioned it straight, Lu Yuzhou wouldn’t be offended, however Chi Zhongqiao couldn’t bear to say it straight, in spite of everything, what he was going to say was too ugly.

He can even select to not speak about it, in spite of everything, he doesn’t have to make his sponsor sad, proper?

However that is his household’s Yuzhou.

Chi Zhongqiao didn’t wish to watch him make detours and damage others and himself.

Chi Zhongqiao whispered, “A number of Bodhi beads have been displayed within the temple, and I noticed this one at a look.”

He twisted a bead, and there was no fancy carving on it, only some phrases have been engraved–” See the actual self, see all beings, see the world.”

Chi Zhongqiao mentioned, “I like these phrases, so I purchased it. The previous man instructed you the opposite day…” He licked the nook of his decrease lip and shortly recalled the previous man’s phrases and mentioned vaguely, “You’re a bit impatient to do issues, actually, I believe…”

Lu Yuzhou abruptly smiled.

Chi Zhongqiao was bowled over.

Lu Yuzhou snuggled over and whispered, “Grandpa clearly mentioned that I’m small, illiberal, and never a personality that may be the chief.”

Just a few days in the past, the 2 went again to the previous home to go to the previous man. After lunch, the previous man known as the 2 of them. Within the research, he had nothing to say to Chi Zhongqiao, and kindly instructed him to concentrate to his physique and different intimate phrases, then turned his head and cursed Lu Yuzhou severely.

The previous man mentioned horribly, Chi Zhongqiao reluctantly sorted out the pinnacle and tail out of it -probably there was an issue with the challenge beneath Lu’s father, and the challenge chief angered Lu Yuzhou within the earlier challenge. Lu Yuzhou didn’t say something at the moment. This time, greedy the deal with, he straight pushed the particular person over.

The hot button is that the particular person in cost will not be very unsuitable. This downside will be remedied. Final time, it was not that the particular person in cost was keen to make Lu Yuzhou sad. It was Lu Zhuo who was intimidating him. After Lu’s father acquiesced, he needed to make some small actions. Lu Yuzhou merely pushed him out this time. With the error made by the particular person in cost this time, Father Lu and his gang couldn’t get off the stage.

Lu Yuzhou mentioned, “The previous man mentioned that I ruthless and depart no leeway for myself or others when doing issues. I do all of it due to pleasure. I don’t care in regards to the penalties . Brother Qiao additionally thinks I’m not good?”

Chi Zhongqiao was silent for a second, shook his head, and laughed, “In case you didn’t do something unsuitable, it’s unfair to place the blame on you. Persona is the results of your surroundings. Whether or not you’re ruthless or not, it’s not one thing you selected.” He felt that typically Lu Yuzhou was not intentionally ruthless, he didn’t really feel that he had completed it earlier than. He doesn’t even suppose he’s overdoing it.

Lu Yuzhou feels relaxed so long as Chi Zhongqiao is with him. He considered it, and mentioned, “Once I was a child, I at all times fought with Lu Zhuo. They at all times sided with Lu Zhou. Irrespective of who was within the unsuitable , it was at all times my fault. I felt…” He smiled, as if he felt naïve earlier than, “I felt at a loss, considering that I’d be scolded anyway after a combat, so I didn’t wish to be merciless. I didn’t combat with for something later . He was at all times merciless to me.” The smile on his face light shortly, “Possibly I’m used to it.”

These phrases nailed Chi Zhongqiao to the seat, making him pant with misery.

Lu Yuzhou didn’t wish to point out these unhealthy issues in his early years. He quietly leaned on Chi Zhongqiao, and abruptly reached out to hug Chi Zhongqiao. The bracelet on his wrist made a slight sound of wooden bumping with one another, virtually protecting Lu Yuzhou’s voice.

He mentioned, “Brother Qiao, I wish to change it.”

Chi Zhongqiao gently patted Lu Yuzhou on the again, “I do know, I do know.”

He modified to a relaxed expression, smiled and requested Lu Yuzhou, “Your downside is nothing severe. But when the challenge chief didn’t provoke you, you wouldn’t go in opposition to him. Generally you simply shield your family members too laborious

I suppose, did the challenge chief say one thing unsuitable in regards to the previous man? In all probability it was nepotism, saying that he was confused and dared handy over the corporate to younger individuals.”

Lu Yuzhou: “Properly, I simply heard it. How did Brother Qiao guess it?”

Chi Zhongqiao poked his face, ” I nonetheless perceive your character. He dared to anger you final time. Together with your mood, you have been undoubtedly not completely happy. I’m positive you may’ve given him a tough time earlier than , so why put it off till this time? Don’t imagine you need to fear a couple of challenge chief.”

Lu Yuzhou’s face was squeezed after being poked.

Chi Zhongqiao mentioned, “There’s additionally Zhuang Fu , why did you simply depart him alone, and make a present of it when Zhou Yunmo was robbed of his endorsement?” Lu Yuzhou didn’t lay traps for Zhou Yunmo, but he simply ignored each of them . Had it not been for sustaining the inner guidelines of the corporate, Lu Yuzhou would have even pretended to not see them.

Lu Yuzhou rubbed his hand and mentioned nothing.

Chi Zhongqiao tensed his severe face with problem, and mentioned, “…you may’t act like a child, are you doing this on function ?”

Lu Yuzhou: “…um.”

Chi Zhongqiao sighed, “You shield your family members , however do you not suppose that they could be “unsuitable ” too?”
