Chapter 39

Views:

When Li Sui arrived home, there was no one in the living room, only a bedside lamp was lit in the bedroom, and Lu Shang was already asleep.

He walked in lightly and sat down on the edge of the bed. When Lu Shang fell asleep, he always curled up unconsciously, which easily made people want to hug him from behind. The light in the bedroom was dim, and the sleeping person buried half of his face in the pillow, his bangs scattered casually on his forehead, his lips were lightly pursed, slightly pale. He had seen this sleeping face a thousand times, but he still couldn't stop thinking about it. He was addicted for a moment, he couldn't help but stretched out his bangs, put a kiss on his forehead, and tucked the quilt meticulously before going to the bathroom to wash.

Sometimes he also finds it strange. He often hears people say that love is a consumable item. After being together for a long time, the relationship between two people will tend to be dull. However, the more he understands Lu Shang in these years, the more he finds it difficult to extricate himself. Lu Shang's every move, the voice of his speech, the angle of his smile, and the angle of his smile all made him feel very charming. Even if he did nothing and just sat here and stared at him all day, Li Sui would not feel bored at all. .

He took the bath very lightly, but when he came out, Lu Shang was still awake and squinted at him.

"Waking you up?" he apologized, climbing into the bed and hugging him from behind.

A burst of hot air suddenly came from the back, and Lu Shang put his arm on the pillow and sniffed for a while: "The smell of alcohol is not too heavy."

"I only drank a little, but Big Brother Zuo said he wanted to quit drinking," Li Sui kissed his ear, "I bought a jar for your little turtle and put it downstairs."

Lu Shang let out an "um", and Li Sui noticed that he was slightly nasal, and raised his head slightly: "Have you caught a cold?"

"No, I slept a bit dull." Lu Shang turned around and lay face to face with him.

Seeing his lowered eyes and trembling eyelashes, Li Sui couldn't help but lift his heart, and affirmed, "You have something on your mind."

Lu Shang paused for a moment, took his hand, intertwined his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Li Sui, we can't have children, do you regret it?"

Li Sui didn't expect him to say this, and was stunned for a while.

"If you want, you can do surrogacy," Lu Shang continued, "I don't mind."

He was very sincere, but Li Sui listened to it with great disgust. Lu Shang must have thought of Zuo Chao because he had a child. This man never showed his fear of death on weekdays, but he mostly cared about it in his heart. . Lu Shang was afraid that he would leave one day, leaving him alone. If he left a child, he would have relatives to accompany him in the future, which would be a consolation.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Sui felt a sore nose, and when he thought of this man staying up in the middle of the night to think about it, he felt a pain in his heart, and stretched out his hand to take Lu Shang into his arms, "You know how much I love you , no one can replace it, not even my own, and I don't want to give myself to others, now or in the future, it's all yours."

Lu Shang seemed to want to say something, Li Sui clenched his arms and interrupted him: "Okay, don't mention this in the future, if you like children, then let's be a godfather for Zuo Chao's baby, you are a godfather , I'm a godfather, how's it going?"

Lu Shang smiled softly: "Then this child will have a heavy task of retirement in the future."

Li Sui let go of him and touched his forehead: "With me, I'll take care of you."

The two of them snuggled up and talked about the company for a while, but they didn't feel sleepy. Lu Shang slept a lot during the day, while Li Sui was so happy that his stomach growled, so he just got up and had supper.

"It's too late, red meat is hard to digest, I'll fry a fish steak for you." Li Sui turned over in the refrigerator.

"Yeah." Lu Shang sat on the sofa wrapped in a blanket and looked at him, like a chick waiting to be fed.

"Why didn't you move for dinner? Are you uncomfortable?" Li Sui only wore a loose single shirt and an apron, revealing a sexy back.

"forgotten."

Li Sui took time to look back at Lu Shang, and found that Lu Shang had been staring at him, and said with a smile, "What do you see me doing?"

"Good-looking," Lu Shang said with a faint smile, "I want to take a look."

There was a strange feeling in Li Sui's heart. Lu Shang rarely spoke in such a tone, and he thought that it might be a more emotional relationship between people in the middle of the night, so he didn't ask. Seeing that Lu Shang wrapped the blanket tightly, he turned to ask, "Are you cold? I'll bring you a coat."

Lu Shang shook his head, but Li Sui was still afraid that he would freeze, so he turned off the small fire and quickly went upstairs to get a generous down jacket, covering him with only one head exposed.

"Wait, I'll feed you right away." Li Sui straightened his messy hair and smiled.

The fish steak was delivered this evening. It was very fresh, the bones were shaved clean, and the fishy steak was removed with brandy. It was served with lemon juice and pepper. The aroma came out as soon as it was placed in the pot. There were very few seasonings, oil and salt. The weight is not heavy, the meat is soft and easy to digest, suitable for eating at night.

Li Sui sat on the opposite side with his head supported, watching Lu Shang lowered his head to eat slowly, and was extremely satisfied. The so-called living is just a process of cooking a meal with heart and feeding his lover.

"Are you full?" Li Sui waited for him to finish eating, then smiled and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over.

Lu Shang nodded and moved his eyes to the glass jar on the coffee table.

"For the little turtle, are you moving it now?"

Lu Shang shook his head: "Tomorrow." After that, he took Li Sui's hand, "I'm sleepy, go to bed with me."

"You don't need to go to sleep right after eating, you have to exercise." Li Sui instructed, but involuntarily let him hold his hand.

Lu Shang seemed to have got some inspiration, turned around and smiled lightly: "Then go to 'exercise'."

In the end, there was no "exercise". Although Lu Shang didn't say anything, Li Sui saw that his face was not very good, his lips were pale, and his legs and feet were a little swollen, so he rinsed his mouth, massaged his acupoints, and exchanged Hug to sleep.

Soon the free days of the two of them came to an end, and the most troublesome thing of the year came—shareholder dividends. Li Sui was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground. He ran around the house on three sides of the company's construction site, and Lu Shang was not idle. From 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, he was either listening to work summary reports in various branches or having meetings with the finance department. There was almost no one. Seconds are resting.

When he got home in the evening, Lu Shang was still reading the report in the living room. Li Sui saw that his glasses were almost sticking to the paper, so he stepped forward and straightened his shoulders, persuading him, "How much more, I'll read it tomorrow."

"It's almost time, I'll write down a few numbers, and I'll use them for the meeting tomorrow." Lu Shang took notes on his notebook while watching.

"I'll run the hot water for you." Li Sui didn't want to disturb him, so he fed the little turtle two pieces of meat. Before going upstairs, he leaned on the stairs and stared at Lu Shang's focused profile, and he didn't take his eyes back after watching it for a long time.

The more he looked, the more he felt a sense of disobedience in his heart, Li Sui frowned, and caught the trace of doubt - is Lu Shang wearing glasses longer and longer

Once he started paying attention, Li Sui could no longer let his mind go. After several days of observation, he finally found the pattern. When the weather is good during the day, Lu Shang doesn't wear glasses. He occasionally wears them on snowy or rainy days. At night, he wears them from night to bedtime without taking them off.

In the evening while Lushang was taking a bath, Li Sui turned out the pair of glasses and tried them on. They were very ordinary and normal glasses with prescriptions.

Is Lu Shang short-sighted? It's just a trivial matter, so why hide it from him? Or…

Over the years, he has been dabbling in medicine a little bit, and he knows that the eyeball is basically stable after adulthood, and the possibility of myopia will decrease. blood pressure etc. Any kind of relationship with Lu Shang, a heart patient, was enough to make Li Sui tremble.

At breakfast the next day, Lu Shang noticed that Li Sui had been gazing at him from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Li Sui rolled his eyes, "Is the shareholders meeting today?"

"Well," Lu Shang nodded, "there is an award ceremony at the industry and commerce side today, you can go."

Li Sui actually didn't want to be separated from him, especially at such an important juncture as the shareholders' meeting, but if he didn't go, he had to let Uncle Yuan go. Uncle Yuan had been an assistant in Dongyan for many years and was familiar with the shareholders. Indeed more helpful than him.

He just nodded in agreement.

As soon as you enter the Dongyan Building, you can feel that there is a tense atmosphere in the company. Most of the old employees are well prepared.

"Xiao Tang, have you seen the master who repaired the air conditioner?" someone asked outside the office.

"I called. The master said that the parts were broken. He was rushing to the market to buy parts. It will take afternoon to fix it."

"It's not bad sooner or later, why is it bad today..."

Finance Xiao Tang is a new young girl. She is very interested in gossip and gossip on weekdays. Unfortunately, this time, she was assigned by the financial manager to participate in the meeting with several old accountants. It was a chore. As soon as she walked into the cold conference room face down.

To put it bluntly, shareholder dividends are the battlefield between the company's investors and operators. The company's annual profit is only so much. The operator wants to keep the money to invest in the company's operations and expand the company's scale. The shareholders have invested, and the end of the year depends on today. How much money can go into their own pockets, both sides have legitimate reasons, but the amount of money is limited, for their own interests, it is inevitable to argue.

In previous years, Lushang strictly followed the distribution plan, but this year is different. Dongyan is now in the middle of transformation and needs to support more industries and establish a corporate image. These all cost money, and he has to increase it on the basis of previous years. The ratio of the provident fund was raised, and this move really aroused the dissatisfaction of many shareholders.

"I haven't said that 10% of the profit is included in the provident fund. Now I have to withdraw 40% from the after-tax profit. Mr. Lu, are you kidding me?" It was a fat man who raised the objection first. My name is Fang Miao.

"Ten percent is the statutory provident fund, which has nothing to do with my personal wishes," Lu Shangdao, "money will not be spent in vain, the entries, black and white, and accounting are also here. If you don't understand, we can discuss them one by one. "

"Then I really have something to say." Fang Miao took out a stack of documents and drew them directly from the conference table to Lu Shang. This action was really rude, Uncle Yuan frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Shang's eyes.

"Here, only 50 million was allocated for the first phase of Jinsha Coast last year. How did you spend 80 million? I would like to ask, where did you use the extra 30 million? "

There was no air conditioner in the conference room. Lu Shang only sat for half an hour. His hands and feet were all cold, and his heart rate began to increase. He changed his sitting position and pressed his chest quietly through his clothes.

"There is a special explanation for the additional 30 million fee, which was signed by the board of directors, Xiao Tang, find it out and give it to him." Lu Shangdao.

Xiao Tang hurriedly rummaged through the stack of documents, but Fang Miao interrupted, "Don't use the board of directors to prevaricate me, isn't the board of directors you alone? Then I'll ask you again, this is written under your entry. Where did the numbers come from?"

Lu Shang glanced at him, endured the discomfort in his chest, stretched out his hand to pick up the document on the table, and just opened it, he suddenly felt a strong dizziness, the countless double images in front of him overlapped each other, as if someone was suddenly pressed into the water , turned into a cloud of gray in an instant.

The disease came at an untimely time, Lu Shang's hand holding the document shook lightly, and the cold sweat broke out.

Li Sui had just finished his work and came out of the industrial and commercial building when his cell phone rang.

He was in a hurry when he went out, and accidentally caught a bottle of Salvia miltiorrhiza pills on the table in his bag.

Li Sui lowered his head and looked at it, his heart stunned, this is not a salvia slice.

Afraid of making a mistake, he took the bottle and carefully identified it. It was the medicine that Lu Shang often took, but it was not a pill he was familiar with. The color, shape and smell were wrong. It was obviously changed later. When was it changed, why didn't he know

The cold wind blew past, and the flag above his head squeaked. Li Sui stood in the wind, as if he had been sensed, and a series of clues suddenly connected in his mind, wearing glasses, the bowl smashed in the kitchen, and the wound on his forehead. , and mistaken him for Aunt Lu... All of this seems to point to a conclusion—

The rapid ringing of the mobile phone urges people, and after a powerless cry, it finally fell silent. Li Sui came back to his senses, and did not return the call immediately, but called Liang Zirui eagerly, as if asking for evidence. His heart raised his throat: "Doctor Liang, tell me, is there something wrong with Lu Shang's eyes...?"

Liang Zirui paused and did not answer directly, but asked, "Which aspect do you mean?"

Li Sui directly asked the guess: "Is it caused by the heart? Is his myopia serious? Why do you need to change the medicine?"

After listening to this, Liang Zirui sighed with a headache, knowing that he couldn't hide it for Lu Shang, so he simply stated: "He is not short-sighted, he is about to lose his sight."
