Nie Chi didn't waste any more time.
The Sui family has its own medical system. Yu Tang was carried into the car by Sui Si and sent to the hospital overnight.
Nie Chi completed the hospitalization procedures and came back. Sui Si was still sitting in the rest area.
He sat in silence in the shadow, his clothes mostly wet.
Sui Si has always been successful, except for that time when his relationship with Ke Ming was hindered at home and he had to bow his head and take a step back. Nie Chi has almost never seen him look depressed.
"He has been sent to the emergency room."
Nie Chi took a half cup of hot water and handed it over: "It should still be in time."
Sui Si's eyelids twitched and he raised his head.
Nie Chi knew that he didn't like Yu Tang and couldn't understand why Sui Si reacted so strongly. He tilted his head and handed the water over.
Sui Si looked at him for a long time without saying anything. He took the glass of water and held it in his hand.
After all, Nie Chi was just a manager hired by the Sui family and had nothing to do with this matter.
…
It's him who matters.
When he heard those words on the phone, a hidden worry that something might happen to Yu Tang suddenly arose, which he had never had before, and it made him uneasy.
Sui Si had almost no time to calm down and think carefully about why Yu Tang did such a thing.
Yu Tang's behavior has been normal these days. If he is dissatisfied with their relationship, it has been like this for the past three years.
Yu Tang never said he was unwilling.
"Your new assistant said that Ke Ming has been safely sent to your home." Nie Chi sat aside and looked down at his phone. "Because I was very drunk and caught a cold, I have a low-grade fever."
Sui Si frowned: "Why don't you contact me directly?"
"Your phone is submerged in water and we can't get through."
Nie Chi said: "They looked for Yu Tang but couldn't get in touch with him, so they found me."
He read the news as he spoke, and then flipped down: "Ke Ming is in great pain. Your personal doctor has gone. Do you want to go back to see him?"
Sui Si could hardly suppress his worry, and stood up suddenly, but stopped again after taking only half a step.
Yu Tang...is not out of danger yet.
On the way to the hospital with Yu Tang, he held him in his arms and realized that Yu Tang was much thinner than he remembered.
At first, they pretended to be affectionate and caring in front of the camera, and they hugged each other. Although Yu Tang was thin at that time, there was at least some soft warmth under his clothes.
Now it seemed as if only a thin skeleton was left, swaying and breaking, with cold air coming out from the inside.
It’s so cold that it makes your hands cold.
Yu Tang was lying in the emergency room. If an accident really happened, if he left now, it would be tantamount to letting Yu Tang lose his life.
"You've already made it clear to him, and the terms of the contract are very clear."
Nie Chi said: "The principles of closeness and distance, first come first served, Yu Tang understands these principles."
Sui Si leaned on the back of the chair, his anxiety gradually subsided as time went by, but his anger surged up again. He could hardly suppress it and waved his hands vigorously: "But he—"
Nie Chi asked: "Do you think he wants to keep you by committing suicide?"
Sui Si was about to answer, but when he met Nie Chi's gaze, he got stuck again.
Yu Tang... didn't want to get a divorce.
On the way from the riverside to the hospital, Nie Chi briefly reviewed the information sent by Yu Tang. The divorce procedures, public statements, property division, and other necessary procedures were all arranged carefully and meticulously by Yu Tang, just like he usually did with everything for him.
If it weren't for the Sui family, Yu Tang would not have broken the contract and asked him if he could not divorce first.
It's not that Yu Tang can't live without him.
"Then why is he doing this?"
Inexplicably, he was not very happy about this realization. He suppressed his emotions and said in a hoarse voice: "Why do I have to go through all this trouble? To let everyone know that I have no heart, that I used cold violence in my marriage and forced my legal partner to die?!"
Nie Chi shook his head, reached for the car keys and handed them to Sui Si.
Sui Si stared at the key ring: "What does this mean?"
"I don't know." Nie Chi said, "But judging from your current mood, even if Yu Tang wakes up, he will be scared to death by you."
Sui Si: “…”
Nie Chi stood up, gave him the change of clothes, took the half-cold cup of water and threw it into the trash can.
He walked out first, Sui Si stood there for a while, then followed him in silence.
Nie Chi handed him the umbrella.
The rain outside showed no sign of stopping. The street lights outside the hospital were on, emitting a soft, warm yellow light that reflected in the puddles and was shattered by the raindrops.
Sui Si took the umbrella and held it in his hand.
The umbrella was prepared by Yu Tang. Sui Si never paid much attention to these trivial things.
Sui Si's studio actually relies heavily on Yu Tang for most of its normal operations, which is why it is struggling today and has almost no ability to handle emergency situations.
"Yu Tang is not your appendage."
Nie Chi walked him to the door and suddenly said, "He is also an independent person. He was a person first, and then he met you."
Sui Si stopped and asked, "What?"
"When he was taking care of you, you never asked him why he was so nice to you."
Nie Chi said: "This time, he did something that you didn't like, so you suddenly started to question his intentions."
Sui Si seemed to be shaken by these words and stood still.
"Sometimes... when he's not so busy, in between serving you," Nie Chi said, "he might also want to be willful and do something he really wants to do."
Sui Si looked back at the red light in the emergency room. His chest rose and fell several times. He finally forced himself to open his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this what he wanted to do?"
Nie Chi didn't answer, but pushed open the glass door for him and looked back at Sui Si.
Sui Si was speechless. He walked out of the hospital in a hurry in the rain without an umbrella.
Yu Tang was in a coma for a whole week.
As if the last straw had finally broken the camel's back, he did not regain consciousness after escaping danger, and there was not even any detectable conscious activity.
From the third day on, Sui Si started to come to the ward and sit every night.
The accident did not cause any public opinion disturbance. The tabloids that usually kept an eye on him to dig up gossip seemed to have been prepared this time. All the news headlines were "Sui Emperor's lover accidentally fell into the water after drinking."
Nie Chi did a rough check and found records and photos of Yu Tang drinking in bars late at night and even flirting with others.
"He knows how to flirt in bars."
Sui Si scoffed, "If someone gets close to him, he gets so nervous that he won't move."
When the two of them were showing their affection in front of the camera, Sui Si showed some of his ability as a best actor, but before he did anything, Yu Tang was so nervous that he couldn't move at all, and just stood there and let him do whatever he wanted.
To be honest, Yu Tang's appearance was certainly not as exquisite as Ke Ming's, but he was also handsome and gentle. Especially his eyes, which were soft and clear. When he looked at people seriously and spoke, he always seemed to be particularly gentle and stubborn.
"Whether he will or not is not important." Nie Chi said, "After these news are released, when you two divorce, the main responsibility will be on him."
Sui Si paused while helping Yu Tang adjust the quilt, did not answer, and continued to cover him up little by little.
After being in the circle for so long, if you say you can't even notice this, you are undoubtedly pretending.
He knew what Yu Tang had done secretly for him, not just this time, but also in the past.
Since marrying Sui Si, Yu Tang has never slept so peacefully again. Whenever there is an emergency, no matter how late it is, the studio staff can always contact Yu's assistant first.
Actually… if there hadn’t been that unexpected quarrel, he would have thought about treating Yu Tang well in the last few months.
The instrument hummed, silently maintaining the patient's vital signs.
Sui Si looked at him for a while, reached out his hand, gently pushed aside Yu Tang's hair, and touched his forehead.
"Wake up." Sui Si said, "If you wake up, we won't get divorced yet."
He and Ke Ming have been together for so long and have paid so much. It is impossible for him to relax at this last step. Yu Tang was dragged into this. If it weren't for Yu Tang, he would have been in such a difficult situation in the past three years.
He actually knew it and was not ungrateful in his heart.
He had no feelings for Yu Tang, but if he wanted to find a way to be nicer to Yu Tang, it didn't seem that difficult to do.
It's just a few months after all. If we delay any longer, we will definitely get divorced this year after my grandfather's birthday.
He couldn't figure out why Yu Tang went to see a psychologist or why he did something so unreasonable, and he didn't intend to dig deeper.
As a fulfillment of his marital obligations, Sui Si was at least willing to give it a try and learn to treat Yu Tang well in the last few months of their marriage.
It's just another play.
"You can live in my house and move out after we get divorced."
Sui Si leaned over, and embraced the quietly sleeping Yu Tang, just like the gentle pretense he had done in the past: "When the time comes, we can divorce peacefully, and you can come to see me and Ke Ming. We can go on vacation together, and when we get married, you can be our witness."
He held Yu Tang's thin shoulders and back, which were almost painful to the touch. He didn't even notice that his arm was being hurt by the protruding shoulder blades, and he carefully slowed down his strength.
Sui Si held him in his arms and gently stroked Yu Tang's back as if to comfort him.
"I won't scold you anymore." Sui Si said, "Be good and wake up."
Sui Si touched his forehead and whispered, as if coaxing him: "Wake up, I will treat you well."
Yu Tang opened his eyes in his arms.
"System." Yu Tang asked in his mind, "Which book is this, and who is this person?"
