Li Sui paused: "Don't you know, nothing will change for me."

Li Yan seemed to have heard some funny jokes and said, "It's really pitifully stupid. You shouldn't really have feelings for him, right? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life."

Li Sui turned around and said solemnly, "I like him, so what? It's none of your business."

"It's none of my business. I'm just kindly reminding you, lest you wake up in the future and find that your heart has been dug up, and you can't even find the owner of your life."

Li Sui's eyes sank: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I said, the reason why Lu Shang adopted you," Li Yan said, "because you are the source of the living heart that he prepared for himself."

Li Sui's hand trembled subconsciously, Li Yan was obviously very satisfied with his expression, and continued: "You haven't noticed it for so long? Don't you think he is very high-profile about your existence? , Lu Shang is such a loner, why is there one more of you around?"

Li Sui stared at him, Li Yan sighed and said regretfully, "You don't understand, for people like us, lovers are never a threat, but their hearts are different, that's why he allows you to stay by his side. "

"Do you know how many people in Dongyan want to take his place? If they know that you are the key to Lu Shang's life, you will be dead within a month, and he will cover up the relationship between you in the name of nurturing. The purpose of a real relationship is to ensure the safety of your heart, do you think he is really thinking of you? Don't be stupid."

Li Sui clenched his hands into fists, looked directly at him and said, "He didn't admit it himself, I won't believe it, please stop provoking!"

"Admit it in person?" Li Yan laughed, "confess what? Admit that he wants to dig your heart, admit that he is a man-eating devil?"

Li Sui's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Little Li, silly boy, he has congenital heart disease and needs a healthy heart, and you are his best heart donor."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yan took out a stack of documents and handed them out: "You don't believe it? This is something brought from Regal Hospital. Look at what's written on it."

Li Sui didn't answer, looked at him quietly, his face became cold: "Are you finished?"

Li Yan was slightly startled and smiled.

Li Sui lit up the screen of his mobile phone and showed it in front of him: "You called the police ten minutes ago. Now, you have about five minutes to escape."

Li Yan never thought that Li Sui would put him together, his blue veins jumped out, and his eyes were gloomy: "You will regret it."

Li Sui slowly took back the phone, and replied coldly, "If I hurt him because of your words, I will really regret it."

The heavy motorcycle in the distance seemed to have noticed something strange and flashed its headlights. Li Yan scolded, threw the document away, turned and ran over and jumped into the car.

The roar gradually faded away, and the street returned to darkness. Li Sui stood in the cold wind for a long time before he seemed to have gathered enough courage to pick up things on the ground.

This is a matching report, a top-secret document filed in Regal Hospital. The matching people are him and Lu Shang. Li Sui can't remember when he made this identification. In black and white, the two people have the same blood type, the same HLA type, and the same individual heart. All the data point to the same result - he is indeed the best heart donor that Lu Shang has ever encountered.

Li Sui remembered that Lu Shang first brought him back and signed a contract with him. At that time, he couldn't understand it, and then he avoided reading it. Now that I think about it, the content above is probably about this one. something happened.

It is a pity that some things, no matter how to escape, should face, or have to face, this is life, there is no escape.

The cold wind blew up, rolled up a few dead leaves and whirled past the bottom of the car, and the window was covered with a dense layer of water droplets. Li Sui squeezed his knuckles softly, and his breathing trembled, as if incomparable. Painful, he frowned and closed his eyes.

There was a loud cough in the tea room, Liu Xingming poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, worried: "Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Shang shook his head, suppressing the discomfort, and said, "It's just a cold, don't worry, I didn't call anyone today, just the two of us, talk to you."

Liu Xingming sat up straight, and he also guessed what Lu Shang was going to say to him. As one of the main persons in charge of this accident, he must be to blame. It must be said that someone took the defective product and replaced it with a shoddy product. He didn't know this kind of thing at all, it was impossible, and Lu Shang wouldn't believe it.

"I'm watching you step by step to where you are today. When my father was here, he always praised you. I have been neglecting Hainan these years, and you have missed a lot of opportunities. It's my fault. ."

Liu Xingming hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I myself don't want to go to the inland, I..."

Lu Shang smiled bitterly: "I always thought that even if others would change, at least you wouldn't. It seems that I underestimated the allure of money."

Liu Xingming knew that he was wrong, and no longer defended, and said in a low voice: "I also have a wife and children to support, my old mother has severe cerebral palsy, and the monthly treatment fee is 8,000 yuan. The child is still young and has to go to school. Mr. Lu, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for these things at home, I wouldn't be with them even if I went to the street to beg for food. You know I'm not the kind of person who sees money and is really forced by the situation. I can't let my wife and children suffer in order to earn a decent reputation..."

"But what you have done is enough to be sentenced, you know?"

Liu Xingming's face changed: "Yes, this matter is my fault, I admit that I will not shirk any responsibility that I should take, whether it is dismissal or compensation, I just ask you to look at it for so many years, don't let it go. Get this out of the way, my mother is still in the hospital, Mr. Lu, I really... "

Lu Shang stared at the teacup in his hand and didn't answer for a long time. The longer he stayed in this position, the more he could understand why his father said he was tired. I’m used to seeing changes in personnel, and I’ve seen a lot of right and wrong. Sometimes I know that I shouldn’t have hope for something like the human heart, but I still don’t want to give up that hope. I always hope that there will be eternal purity in this world. Disappointment again and again, and in the end there is only endless exhaustion.

Lu Shang thought, maybe not everyone can be like Li Sui, always put him at the top of their hearts, and put his will first everywhere. There is no other person in this world who can truly ask for nothing and can make him trust with all his heart.

"Tomorrow I will let Uncle Yuan send a transfer letter. You should not do this project." Lu Shang put down his teacup and didn't look at him.

Liu Xingming stretched his neck, as if he had something to say, but he also knew that this was the result of Lu Shang's concession, so he could only give up, and said "yes" indifferently.

Not long after he left, Uncle Yuan opened the door and came in. The two looked at each other with complicated expressions. After a long silence, Lu Shang said, "Bring the new phone from Company A and go back to Lu's house in the afternoon."

On the plane, Lu Shang had nothing to do. He took the phone apart, the modulation was done, the preset was set, and he realized when he was done. Li Sui is no longer that little boy who doesn't understand anything. Smartphones are no longer unfamiliar to him, which is actually very redundant.

After getting off the plane, the pick-up car hadn't arrived yet. He was waiting at the airport when he suddenly received a call from Liang Zirui, his tone was a little anxious.

"Rigger had a burglary the other day and lost something."

Lu Shang thought it was an important instrument: "If you lose it, just lose it, and buy another one."

"No, the instruments are all there, only the heart matching report between you and Li Sui is gone."

Lu Shang was stunned, his eyes darkened: "Have you found out who it is?"

"I'm still investigating, this person is a habitual offender. He avoided all cameras and left no fingerprints. It's not that easy to find out for a while," Liang Zirui said, "Last time I found out that Rui Ge has always been haunted by strangers. , specially strengthened the security work, but I didn't expect it to be... "

Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Chao's phone also came in. Lu Shang frowned and pressed the answer button.

"We found Li Yan. Guess who and where he is. No wonder we haven't been able to find him. It turns out that he was hidden by Liu Xingtian."

Lu Shang suddenly had a bad feeling: "How did you find it?"

Zuo Chao said happily: "It's a coincidence, didn't you keep asking me to send someone to follow Xiaolizi 24 hours a day? I told the guy who came back that day that someone went to him, and the two talked for a while, and it seemed that they were still arguing. It's a pity that I couldn't hear what was said. I came back and saw that this was Li Yan. I knew him all the way to ashes, so I immediately asked people to check and monitor them all the way. Found him in the factory."

"Where are the others now?"

"It's still inside, I haven't been alerted, wait for you to come back and deal with it," Zuo Chao said, "but it's Liu Xingtian's territory, we can't break in directly."

"Stare first and wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shangzheng was about to get up, but he felt dizzy for a while, his body swayed, but he didn't stand up all of a sudden, Uncle Yuan hurried to help him, and felt his arm was hot, and said in surprise, "Why is it so hot? "

Lu Shang's face was pale, and his mind was no longer here. He looked up at the waiting room where people came and went, and there was a rare trace of confusion in his eyes.

How could there be such a coincidence. It happened that Rig was stolen, the report was lost, and Li Sui was called to the door. The three events happened at the same time. After thinking about it, Lu Shang had already guessed most of it.

"He understands..." Lu Shang lowered his head, rubbed his slender fingers on the phone that had just been unpacked for a while, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What did you say?" Uncle Yuan asked.

"Uncle Yuan," Lu Shang said blankly, "help me do something."

Catching up with the traffic during the Spring Festival, high-speed traffic jams, and returning to the city, it was already dark, and Uncle Yuan was not at ease. He strongly suggested that he go to the hospital first. Lu Shang didn't know if it was because of the fever, or if he had something in his heart, and he was completely absent. The state, after a long while, he replied and went home first.

It is no better than Hainan. The temperature outside is unbearably low. When you get out of the car, the biting cold wind blows, and it takes courage to even breathe. He walked in and saw Li Sui wearing a single coat, sitting in the yard cutting a bamboo.

He paused and walked over slowly: "What are you doing?"

Li Sui raised his head, the two looked at each other for a long time, and smiled lightly: "Make a fishing rod stand."

Lu Shang's eyes lingered on his face for a long time, trying to find a trace of abnormality: "Why do you make a fishing rod holder?"

"Send you." Li Sui buried his head and continued to cut the bamboo, stopped after cutting for a while, put down the knife in his hand, and seemed to say something, "I was wrong last time, I drank too much and didn't wake up, I apologize to you, Don't be mad, okay?"

"I'm not angry." Lu Shang was chilled by the cold wind, turned around and pushed the door, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Li Sui paused for a while, followed behind him into the house, the living room was much warmer, and there was an aroma of food in the air, Aunt Lu knew that he was coming back today, so she specially prepared a table of dishes.

However, Lu Shang had no appetite, and even smelled the smell a little nauseating. After the high fever has not subsided these days, his appetite has basically been reduced to a minimum, and he almost didn't go for nutritional injections.

Li Sui handed him an open box: "I bought a fishing rod, it should be suitable for you, do you have time to try it together?"

Lu Shang still stared at his face, and after a while his eyes fell on the box. The thing is a good thing, he can see it at a glance, this gift is a thoughtful: "Leave it."

Li Sui confiscated his hand, and there was even a little pleading in his eyes. Lu Shang avoided his eyes, but he still took it and put it aside.

Dinner was very dull, Lu Shang only drank a small bowl of porridge without even touching his chopsticks.

"Have no appetite? You seem to have lost weight." Li Sui asked.

Lu Shang was in a bad spirit and didn't bother to explain, so he said directly, "I ate on the road."

At the end of the meal, Lu Shang glanced at Li Sui, hesitated again and again, but said, "I have applied for a student visa for you, the best school in California, Uncle Yuan will give you a sum of money, which should be enough to support you until you are completely independent. ."

Li Sui froze for a while, as if he suddenly couldn't understand Chinese. He digested this sentence for a long time, his voice trembling: "Are you... are you driving me away? Are you still... unwilling to forgive me?"

"It's not about this." Lu Shang thought for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that he couldn't speak, so he just gave up and didn't say anything.

"Is it because I know the heart shape?" Li Sui finally said, looking at Lu Shang with a slightly heavy gaze.

"I never planned to hide it from you," Lu Shang frowned and didn't look at him, "Li Yan can find you or someone else, if you stay, it will become a handle for them to blackmail me at any time. ."

The Li family was ruined, and Li Yan hated him to the bone, wishing he died of a heart attack, naturally he would not be given a chance for a heart transplant. Li Jinyao is still in prison, Li Yan still has scruples and does not dare to do anything to Lu Shang, but when he finds that the alienation between the two has no effect, the next step will definitely be to start with Li Sui, the top priority is to send him to safety place to go.

"If that's the case, why don't you just arrange the operation directly? Don't you really need a heart?" Li Sui's eyes became more emotional and he looked straight, "Just one injection of brain death will do, Lu Shang, you should understand that I am willing to of."

For some reason, Lu Shang was extremely disgusted by his words: "It's not just heart transplantation. I don't need you anymore. You should leave."

"If what you said is true, and you don't need me anymore, will my existence still threaten you? Then why do you go to great lengths to send me abroad?" Li Sui retorted.

Lu Shang was speechless by his words. He has been in business for decades and has been forced into a desperate situation countless times. He is not afraid of being threatened, nor is he afraid of his health, but he is only afraid that the person around him will be hurt. why? There was an answer in his heart that was about to come out, but he didn't dare to say it himself.

"Li Sui, you're obedient, you... don't let me worry." After running all the way back, Lu Shang's physical strength was nearing the limit. Sitting at the table at this time, he felt dizzy for a while and his breathing was not smooth. In order to avoid Seeing the clue, I had to lean my elbows on the table and support it with all my strength.

"Lu Shang," Li Sui raised his head, his eyes were red, "Do you love me?"
