When Mu Ran woke up in the middle of the night, Yi Tian was not by his side.
The wall lamp on the balcony was on, and light was faintly filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Mu Ran hesitated for a moment, lifted the quilt and walked over, then gently opened the French window, and it turned out that Yi Tian was on the balcony. He was looking down at the documents in his hand, his whole body was hidden in the dizzy yellow light, Mu Ran couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.
Yi Tian turned his head when he heard the voice, and frowned when he saw Mu Ran: "Why did you come out?" He put down the things in his hand, got up, walked to Mu Ran and pulled someone into the room, his voice was a little displeased: "Remember to wear a coat in the future."
It's midsummer now, even in the middle of the night, it's not really cool. Yi Tian's reaction was a bit fussy, but Mu Ran didn't say anything, just lowered his head and said "um".
The smell of cigarettes on Yi Tian's body was very strong, and he didn't want to get too close to Mu Ran. He turned and went into the bathroom after watching Mu Ran get into bed.
Mu Ran lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open.
This is the fifth day, and it was found that there was a problem with his heart, and Yi Tian hadn't had a good night's sleep for five days. The doctor said it was not very serious, and a simple stent operation to dredge the coronary arteries and improve the blood supply to the heart would be enough. But whether it is Yi Tian, Mu Jin, or even Yi Hang, they all look like they are facing a big enemy. Now no matter what he does, someone will follow him, just for fear that he will have sudden symptoms.
Yi Tian took a shower and went to bed, Mu Ran leaned over, Yi Tian stretched out his hand to embrace him, then bowed his head and kissed him.
Feeling the warm breath on Yi Tian's body, Mu Ran suddenly felt a little sad. Yesterday Yi Tian asked him how to arrange for Mu Jin's 20th birthday, and he realized that so much time had passed, and he and Yi Tian had been together for so many years. Sure enough, people are greedy, and he actually hoped to continue walking with Yi Tian, preferably until the two of them were gray-haired, lost all their teeth, and could not walk on the bed.
But he also knew that this was impossible.
Mu Ran raised his head and looked at Yi Tian without blinking, with a gentle expression on his face.
He reached out and touched Yi Tian's face, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not here, you have to care more about Mu Jin and Yi Hang." Yi Tian's body became stiff instantly, and Mu Ran leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth with a voice Very lightly, "Find someone to take care of you." Jian Ning was married once, but separated from her only half a year ago, and has been alone for so many years. Who is he waiting for, Mu Ran knows, if he can get back together with Yi Tian, it is the most suitable.
Yi Tian tightened his grip on Mu Ran's waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "What nonsense, it's just a minor operation."
Mu Ran nodded, "Yes", and stopped talking. He also knows that the operation is not complicated, but the operation site is on the heart, which is always risky. And he is not just talking about this time, he must be ahead of Yi Tian, these words will be said sooner or later.
The day before the hospitalization, Mu Ran went to the cemetery and sat in front of the mute mother's tombstone for a long time. For so many years, he has come here by himself, never calling Yi Tian and Mu Jin, he doesn't want them to worry. In fact, it doesn't hurt anymore now, it's just that if there is something that can't be taken care of, I will still come here habitually to sit and talk to the dumb mother, and that's fine.
Year after year, he never found out that every time he came here, Yi Tian was not far away to accompany him. He believed that Yi Tian loved him, but he didn't know how deep this love was. When he explained the funeral with a relaxed face, he never thought about whether Yi Tian could live without him.
During Mu Ran's hospitalization, Mu Jin took leave of absence from the school to watch over him every day, even when she was dozing off, she would lean against his bedside and hold his hand, as if she had returned to the time when Mu Ran just picked her up. After Xu Zhehao came back from abroad after knowing about it, he guarded Mu Jin every step of the way. Sometimes Mu Jin thought too much and was so depressed that he couldn't eat.
When Mu Ran heard about it, he gave Mu Jin a scolding, but in private, he called Xu Zhehao, put down his elder airs and begged him in a low voice, asking him to take good care of Mu Jin in the future.
Xu Zhehao couldn't bear it, he almost didn't come down and swear to the sky. Yi Hang was supposed to stay guard at the hospital, but after Mu Ran persuaded him for a long time and made countless promises, the young master went back to school with a cold face.
Yi Tian planned to accompany Mu Ran to recuperate at home after the operation. He was in the company to deal with the affairs at hand, and did not stay in the hospital all the time. Instead, Su Wenyang came more often.
When Mu Ran inquired about Yi Tian's situation in private, Su Wenyang only answered sternly, without revealing anything superfluous. Later, Mu Ran simply asked directly: "Beside Yi Tian, is there... anyone who likes him?"
Su Wenyang wondered why Mu Ran would ask such a question, but he just answered no truthfully. Of course, whether this is true or not is up to the beholder. It is impossible to say that there are no suitors around Yi Tian, after all, the family background, appearance and ability are there, so why not attract some Yingying Yanyan. It's just that these Yingying and Yanyan are often dealt with by Su Wenyang before they pounce in front of Yi Tian.
Mu Ran probably didn't expect to get such an answer, so he hesitated for a while before stammering: "Then if... there is... there is a suitable one, Su Te will help you persuade him..." How about persuading him? Persuading him to kick himself out and find a new love? Mu Ran couldn't go on talking about what happened next.
Su Wenyang's face turned cold, and he asked, "What does this mean?"
Mu Ran's heart tightened, and he replied with some embarrassment: "I don't know how many years I can live, if..."
Su Wenyang interrupted him: "I'll pretend I didn't hear that, and don't mention it again." Su Wenyang seemed to be precise in his breathing, and he rarely showed his emotions like this. Mu Ran didn't dare to go any further, but he still couldn't let it go, and was still worried.
After staying in the hospital for a period of time, all indicators were almost the same, and the time for Mu Ran's operation was finally set. Yi Tian drove away everyone the day before the operation, and he was the only one guarding Mu Ran. Mu Ran didn't want to see Mu Jin, but Mu Ran frowned and said, "I still have a lot to say..."
While reading his medical report, Yi Tian casually said: "Then wait until you come out."
Mu Ran was anxious, so he blurted out: "What if you can't get out?"
Yi Tian froze for a moment, then looked up at him and said coldly: "Mu Ran, if you say such things again in the future, I will lock you up at home. Your precious Mu Jin Yihang, don't even want to see any of you."
Mu Ran knew that Yi Tian was really angry, so he froze for a long time before carefully reaching out to touch him.
Yi Tian didn't respond at first, and it took him a long time to put down the information and hug him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed him, his face looked a little tired. Mu Ran's eyes were red, but he didn't speak any more, he just tightened his grip on Yi Tian's hand, even the blue and white blood vessels protruded.
The operation on the second day went smoothly, and some of the complications that were worried about before did not appear.
In fact, this operation is not complicated at all, but because of Mu Ran's poor health, Yi Tian and the others are worried about this.
After the operation, Mu Ran was observed in the hospital for a week, and was discharged after his condition stabilized.
Yi Tian watched him at home all day, watched him take medicine, and accompanied him for regular review. Occasionally, when the company has something to do, he will deal with it at home. If there is an emergency, he will also hold a video conference in the study. Yi Tian doesn't feel tired of the two of them staying together 24 hours a day, but Mu Ran thinks it's not good, and always persuades Yi Tian to work in the company.
Sometimes speaking in a hurry, Yi Tian worried that his mood would fluctuate too much, so he calmed down and comforted him. The coaxing intimacy in the words made even the young nurse who was nursing at home blush.
The two slept together at night, it was just a routine good night kiss, but they lost control when they kissed Yi Tian. He hasn't touched Mu Ran for nearly a month, and he has already reached the limit of his patience. But after all, he was still worried about Mu Ran's body. After imprinting a kiss on Mu Ran's forehead, he planned to get up and go to the bathroom.
Mu Ran sensed his intention, put his arms around Yi Tian's neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth before saying softly: "It's okay, it's fine..."
Yi Tian was already sweating on his forehead, and wanted to pull down Mu Ran's hand, but Mu Ran simply raised his legs and clamped his waist to prevent him from leaving.
Yi Tian's breathing was unsteady, and in the end he couldn't bear it any longer. He put his arms around Mu Ran's waist and turned over to let him lie on his body, then reached out to get the lubricant on the bedside table, and stretched him while kissing Mu Ran . After Mu Ran got used to it, he slowly stepped forward and entered his body.
During the process, Yi Tian would stop from time to time to ask Mu Ran if there was any discomfort, or lower his head to listen to his heartbeat.
Even in the end, it was Mu Ran who couldn't stand his cautious attitude, and took the initiative to raise his waist to cater to his desire.
Yi Tian only did it once and carried Mu Ran to the bathroom to take a shower. Mu Ran knew that Yi Tian must still want it, but he was stopped when he reached out to touch him: "Enough." Yi Tian took his hand into the palm of his hand, "Today stop here."
Mu Ran withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes, and after a while he smiled wryly and asked: "Yi Tian, what's the point of you being with me..." What's the matter? Guarding an unattractive medicine jar every day, even my desires are not satisfied.
Yi Tian was rubbing the body lotion for Mu Ran, and after hearing his words, he lowered his head and bit his shoulder, with a displeased expression on his face: "I'm thinking wildly again."
Mu Ran was silent and didn't speak until the two of them returned to the bed, he suddenly spoke, his voice choked with sobs: "Yi Tian, I can't bear you." He also felt that he was too greedy, he wanted what he should or should not want. I have everything, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? It's just that he is still reluctant, let alone a few years left, even if there are fifty or one hundred years left, he is still reluctant.
Yi Tian showed a faint smile, and didn't say much else, just took Mu Ran into his arms, patted him on the back and coaxed him: "Go to sleep."
I don't know how long it took before I heard the sound of steady breathing in my arms. Yi Tian opened his eyes, and Mu Ran was already asleep, but his brows were slightly frowned, apparently he was not sleeping peacefully.
Yi Tian lowered his head and pressed a kiss between his eyebrows.
In fact, he wasn't too worried, he had already had enough of watching Mu Ran being pushed into the operating room time and time again, and could only wait outside the door, unable to do anything. Even if Mu Ran really left early, there was nothing to be afraid of, he just followed him. Xu Zhehao took care of Mu Jin, and Xu Ran would not let her suffer. Yi Hang has the protection of the Yi family, even if he can't become a master, he will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
In this world, there is only one Mu Ran who cannot live without Yi Tian.
He was also reluctant to let him go alone, no matter where he went, he just stayed with him.
