After observing him in the intensive care unit overnight, he was transferred to the ward the next morning. Li Sui sat in front of the bed, staring at Lu Shangdong without daring to move.

Lu Shang was lying quietly, with electrodes attached to his body and a breathing mask covering his nose and mouth. The whole person seemed to be so fragile that it would break if touched. Reaching out to hold it, those hands were cold, with no temperature, and the ups and downs of his chest were also very light. Li Sui was afraid that he would not be breathing at any time, so he leaned over and probed after a while.

All the sharpness and dazzle were removed, and Li Sui realized that Lu Shang was thinner than he thought. In the past, he was wrapped under a thick coat in winter. He didn't realize it yet. The suit, the whole person seems to be one size smaller. The slender neck in the collar seemed to be able to hold most of it with a hand. It was rising and falling slightly with his breathing, as well as Lu Shang's wrist. Due to the operation, the fair skin was slightly sickly, and the blue veins were very obvious.

The heart rate monitor at the head of the bed regularly drew undulating lines, Li Sui clutched his hand, but it couldn't get hot. He let out a soft cry, but the person on the bed didn't respond, and his eyes were still closed. Li Sui put his head on the bed, and the familiar scent of shower gel lingered on the tip of his nose, which finally made him feel a little more at ease.

The room temperature in the ward is maintained at 22 degrees all year round. It is fine during the day, but it is somewhat cold at night. The nurse kindly brought him a coat and asked him to eat something.

Li Sui had no appetite, so he ate some bread with cold millet porridge. In the middle, the old doctor Liang came in to check it once, checked Lu Shang's temperature, and added two more bottles of medicine.

"When did he wake up?" Li Sui asked.

"It should be soon, won't you take a break?"

Li Sui shook his head. Dr. Liang checked his arm and saw that the wound had healed well, so he left. The ward was originally quiet. At night, only the nurse on duty chatted in the corridor in a low voice. Li Sui was lying beside the bed, listening to the vague ramble, unable to resist the sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know what time it was. In his sleep, he felt that someone was gently fiddling with his hair. Li Sui gave a shudder, raised his head, and met a pair of silent eyes.

"Are you awake?" Li Sui immediately sat up, his voice hoarse with tension, "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Shang's face was very pale, he closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and shook his head slightly. He wasn't very active yet, he was on a ventilator, and he couldn't speak.

After calling the doctor on duty to take a look, he pulled out the tube, and made sure there was nothing abnormal. Li Sui's heart finally fell to the ground. It was still dark outside, so Li Sui raised the bed board as instructed by the doctor, pulled out a pillow from the cabinet, raised his head lightly and put it on it carefully, then pulled the quilt up. When doing these actions, Lu Shang didn't move. He was at his mercy. The two of them looked at each other, face to face, as if they could kiss them as soon as they leaned over. If he were to kiss him now, given Lu Shang's physical condition, he would definitely not be able to resist... Li Sui was startled by his outrageous thought, and immediately turned his face away.

When it was almost dawn, the doctor came over and removed the electrodes. Li Sui asked the nurse to get a cotton swab, dipped it in some warm water, and wiped his chapped lips for him. Lu Shang still couldn't stay awake for a long time, his consciousness was blurry from time to time, he felt the moisture on his lips, he moved lightly in a conditioned reflex, Li Sui moved gently, his thoughts were uncontrollably attracted to him.

He got so close before he knew it, Lu Shang's pale face appeared in front of him, so close that he could feel each other's warm breaths, Li Sui was enchanted by those thin lips that were slightly opened and closed.

kiss

Just kiss it, you won't be found out, right

Thinking about it, Li Sui made a ghostly stick to it, pecked at the corner of Lu Shang's mouth like a dragonfly, and quickly backed away, the process was so fast that he didn't even have time to feel the touch of those lips.

It was just a simple action, and his whole person seemed to have stolen some rare treasure, enveloped by a huge sense of satisfaction, overwhelmingly covering the trace of self-blame mixed in it. In addition to the sweetness, he felt a little nervous after realizing it, his heartbeat was pounding, and his ears were red. At this moment, Lu Shang's eyelashes trembled slightly, Li Sui came back to his senses, and his body was stiff. Stiffened, he hurriedly backed out.

He picked up a pot of cold water in the water room, and poured three glasses together before he calmed down. Li Sui's mind seemed to have an old disc in a mess. Lu Shang's face flashed for a while, Dr. Liang's words sounded for a while, and then again His own rude move, reason and impulse are pulling each other, like a bee that has fallen into a glass bottle, ramming around.

"Li Sui? What are you doing here?"

Before he could sort out his mixed thoughts, Li Sui turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Meng Xinyou standing outside the door, looking curiously.

Li Sui immediately stood up and raised the cup in his hand: "I drink water."

"What about Lu Shang, how is he?"

Li Sui put down the cup: "He's sleeping, I'll take you to see him."

The two were walking in the corridor, Meng Xinyou kept staring at him, Li Sui was staring at him uncomfortable, always felt like someone had seen through some little secret, turned his head and asked, "Well... Is there something on my face? "

Meng Xinyou smiled: "There are crumbs."

Li Sui was startled, and embarrassedly reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, it was true.

In the single ward, Meng Xinyou reached out and patted Lu Shang's face as soon as she entered: "Wake up, don't sleep."

Li Sui was startled and couldn't help holding her arm: "He just had the surgery."

"It's okay, I can't die." Meng Xinyou waved her hand indifferently.

Li Sui wanted to say something to her, but after seeing the person on the hospital bed, he swallowed it back.

Lu Shang woke up.

"My dad asked me to see you," Meng Xinyou sat down, picked an apple by the bed and began to peel it, "Can you hear me now?"

Lu Shang looked a little tired and lowered his eyes slightly.

"I'm discussing something with him, can you please avoid it?" Meng Xinyou smiled at Li Sui.

Li Sui was dumbfounded, his eyes fell on Lu Shang, just in time to meet the other's gaze. Lu Shang's eyes were calm, and Li Sui went out obediently.

Meng Xinyou waited for the door to close, turned her head and shrugged: "Did you see it, he is wary of me."

Lu Shang didn't speak, his eyes were reproachful.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll just tease him without any ill intentions." Meng Xinyou lowered her head to peel the apple, cut out a piece of pulp, and nibbled on it herself, "So you're planning to find someone else for the Chanzhuang issue, right? Bar?"

Just as Lu Shang was about to speak, Meng Xinyou stopped him.

"Don't talk, don't tell me the reason, I know you have already made a decision in your heart, I just came to confirm with you, and leave after asking."

Lu Shang stared at her and nodded.

"Okay then... Hey, don't move, there's something on your chin," Meng Xinyou scraped it with her fingers, and after seeing what it was, she smiled, "Fake sleep?"

There was a slight smile in Lu Shang's eyes.

Meng Xinyou was amused for a while, and said, "I heard Uncle Yuan say that when you had surgery, he was watching you from outside the door."

Lu Shang glanced out the door.

Meng Xinyou sighed: "Lu Shang, Boss Lu, if you continue like this, will you be able to be ruthless in the future?"

Lu Shang closed his eyes and looked like he refused to discuss.

"Okay, you are the patient and you are the biggest, don't mention it."

Meng Xinyou continued to cut the apple: "Since you want to protect him, no matter what your purpose is, we respect your decision, but it's fine if you tease him, but don't get caught up in it, the price is too high. "

Lu Shang closed his eyes when he heard the words, but did not open them for a long time.

It was just dawn, and the breakfast shop downstairs in the hospital had already opened its stall. Li Sui ate something to fill his stomach. He originally wanted to bring some porridge, but he glanced at the traffic not far away, but felt that it was not very clean. give up.

When he returned, Meng Xinyou had already left, and there was a pile of apple peels left on the bedside. The doctor had just drawn blood from Lu Shang, and Li Sui hurried up to help him hold down the cotton swab.

"From today, you can eat a small amount of liquid food. If the reaction is severe, don't force it." After saying this, he turned to Li Sui, "If he has any signs of fever, let me know as soon as possible."

"OK."

After the doctor left, Li Sui covered him with a quilt and asked him to lie down as comfortably as possible: "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Lu Shang looked at him and shook his head.

For some reason, Li Sui was very guilty at this glance, and hurriedly turned his face away, for fear that Lu Shang would see something.

"You're going to eat this for the past two days?" Lu Shang's eyes fell on the unfinished bread, which was not packaged, but in bulk on the street.

"I ate something else, too." Li Sui's eyes were big, and he hadn't slept much for several nights, and the bags under his eyes were very obvious. Lu Shang stared at him, suddenly reached out and squeezed his hand, his voice was very soft: "It's hard work."

Li Sui held his hand instead, the needle was still buried on the back of the hand, and the position of the needle hole turned blue: "Is your illness going to be okay?"

Lu Shang didn't answer him directly, only said: "Life and death are fate."

Li Sui's eyes turned a little red for a moment: "Doctor Liang is so powerful, can't he do anything?"

Lu Shang comforted softly: "He is not omnipotent."

Seeing Li Sui looking like he was about to cry, Lu Shang thought about it and said, "Don't be sad, that's how I was born, sometimes it's more serious, but isn't it good now?"

But Li Sui didn't buy it, and begged, "Teach me, I want to help you with the company's affairs and Big Brother Zuo."

Lu Shang was stunned, and heard him whisper again, "Don't you always say I'm a tortoise? If you can't walk, I'll carry you."

Lu Shang's hand tightened slightly and then loosened it. If he said this to someone else, he would only think it was flattery, but when it came out of Li Sui's mouth, it was different. This child had nothing to say to him. He also had no plans. He said that he wanted to help, but he really had this intention. He put his sincere heart in front of him just like that, with unreserved trust in his whole body.

As if knowing that Lu Shang didn't want to answer, the nurse came in and interrupted their conversation: "Are your legs still numb?"

Naturally, it was Lu Shang who asked, and Li Sui lifted the corner of the quilt and glanced at it, unable to help but start stunned. Due to poor blood circulation in the lower extremities, Lu Shang's legs were slightly swollen and a little cold to the touch.

"fine."

The experienced nurse looked at the nursing sign on the bedside, and knew that he had not moved for two days. His muscles were already stiff, and he was definitely not getting better. He took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, took off his gloves and put them on, and leaned down. Begin to massage his limbs in small increments at the bedside.

Lu Shang frowned inadvertently and didn't say anything. He was only at the mercy of others now. If it was Liang Zirui, he would scold him if he didn't want to receive treatment, but he couldn't say anything to a little girl. If he refuses, let alone others are for his own good.

"Why don't I come." Li Sui watched her massage for a while, silently memorized the method in his heart, and stepped forward eager to try.

The nurse didn't say anything, probably because she was too embarrassed to see it, she took the initiative to back away and went out to get the medicine.

Li Sui was a whole head taller than the little nurse. It was too awkward to bend over, so he simply sat down on his knees. He was afraid of hurting Lu Shang. Surrender, arms shrunk.

Li Sui raised his head, Lu Shang's pale lips forced a smile: "Itchy."

As he spoke, his Adam's apple rolled up and down. Because of his weakness, the soft part of his body was brought into full play. I have to say, such Lu Shang looks... very sexy.
