Li Sui stared at him for a long time, his eyes sank: "Are you talking about Dongyan, or are you talking about yourself?"

It was Lu Shang's turn to be startled.

"No matter what kind of thing it is, don't even think about it," Li Sui interrupted what he was about to say, "I don't know what to give up, I only know that if it's something important, you have to fight for it, don't you? What do you like most about me?"

Seeing that Lu Shang didn't speak, Li Sui said, "Besides, isn't Dongyan your most important thing?"

Looking at his unwavering gaze, Lu Shang couldn't help feeling moved, and said bluntly, "Before I met you, now, the most important thing is you, so I don't want to see you being wronged for Dongyan."

Li Sui smiled lightly: "Don't worry, your boyfriend isn't that incompetent, and it's normal to cheat on me in the business world, so there's nothing wrong with it."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and pressed him into his shoulder: "Okay, close your eyes, sleep, don't worry about your eyes, it will be dawn tomorrow, whether you can see it or not, I will be by your side."

The familiar and reassuring breath filled the tip of his nose. Lu Shang buried it between his neck and reached out to hug him. The chest touched by his hands was warm and firm, full of strong vitality. Before falling into a deep sleep, Lu Shang thought in a daze, Li Sui was no longer the small stove he used to be, he was a hot and bright sun.

In this world, there is no truly impeccable person. No matter how powerful people are, there are times when they are confused and uncertain. The important thing is whether there is someone who can read your fragility, stand by your side when you are loose, gently hold your hand, and lead you out of this foggy area.

When he was a child, Lu Shang's father taught him how to aim high, how to be proficient in business, and how to be invincible with few desires. He has always followed the teachings and fulfilled his duties, but later he realized that what he wanted in his life was not to be in the business field, but to keep one's hearts and minds, and to add up to the total of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

With such a short ambition, he is destined to not be a good businessman in this life. However, Lu Shang thought, maybe he can work hard to become a good lover, at least the kind with a long life.

Li Sui kept his promise and insisted on waiting for him to wake up every day before leaving. Unfortunately, after the winter, Lu Shang's body became more and more easily fatigued, and he often fell asleep before he came back.

Li Sui took some time over the weekend, and finally got home before it got dark. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Aunt Lu looking up from the stairs, looking anxious and helpless.

"Aunt Lu, what's the matter?" Li Sui put down her things and asked.

When Aunt Lu saw him, she finally saw the savior, and said anxiously, "Mr. Lu hasn't eaten for a day, and he won't come down even if he tells him."

Li Sui was stunned for a moment, and hurried upstairs in two steps.

The light in the room was dim, Li Sui opened the door, saw the people on the bed curled up, buried in the quilt, and hurriedly walked over: "Lu Shang? What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Lu Shang had a cold sweat on his forehead. Hearing the voice, he opened his eyes drowsily, closed them again, and only stretched out a hand from the quilt to hook him weakly.

Li Sui hurriedly held it, pulled the quilt away, and found that his face was extremely bad. He reached out to check his body temperature. It was a little hot, but it didn't look like a high fever.

His heart sank, he quickly walked to the cabinet and took two coats, wrapped Lu Shang in a hug, and asked Aunt Lu to open the door for him.

"Are you going to prepare supper?" Aunt Lu was not at ease.

"Cook some clear porridge and warm it in a casserole. It's troublesome." After speaking, Li Sui fastened his seat belt on Lu Shang and drove the car out of the yard.

Lu Shang had been burning for about a day, his whole body was not sober, and he leaned weakly.

Li Sui was anxious and worried. While driving, he did not forget to hold his hand while waiting for the red light: "Can you hear me?"

Lu Shang grabbed his hand and didn't answer. The traffic light was green, and Li Sui couldn't bear to pull it out, so he simply held it all the way.

Fortunately, Dr. Liang happened to be in the hospital, and Li Sui brought Lu Shang up. He was being trained by his uncle because of a trivial matter.

"It's burning again?" Liang Zirui followed him in two steps as if he had seen a savior.

"Low-grade fever, too fast heart rate, and no water in the whole day." Li Sui skillfully carried Lu Shang into the ward. Although his face was anxious, his movements were very steady, "I was fine when I went out in the morning."

Liang Zirui confirmed it with a stethoscope, frowned, and turned around to let the nurse take a needle to draw blood.

Halfway through the draw, Lu Shang Youyou woke up. He seemed to recognize their voices and glanced in Liang Zirui's direction.

Liang Zirui caught a glimpse and said to Li Sui, "Go down and help me get his medication records. It's in the archives."

Li Sui didn't care too much, and quickly opened the door and went out.

When the ward was quiet, Liang Zirui sat down beside the bed, grabbed his wrist and began to feel his pulse, with a very solemn expression, if he hadn't felt the familiar fingering, Lu Shang would have almost forgotten that his family was a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

"How do you feel?" After a while, Liang Zirui asked him with a sullen face.

Lu Shang answered him truthfully: "...Not very good, my whole body hurts."

Liang Zirui retracted his hand and pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "Your dose is too large, and the side effects will become more and more obvious in the future."

"... How long do I have?" Lu Shang's eyes were empty, and it was no exaggeration to say that his voice was like a gossamer.

"If it's ancient times, you can already choose coffins now, but don't you already know that your children won a 10% for you, so wouldn't you be willing to gamble once?"

Lu Shang smiled lightly: "I would... but he wouldn't."

After he finished speaking, he cast a hollow gaze in Liang Zirui's direction: "Do you still have any painkillers that work for me?"

"What do you want to do?" Liang Zirui was immediately alert.

"Do you know why Li Sui can't make up his mind to let Leon perform surgery on me?" Lu Shang's eyes showed a sad look, "Because... he is thinking of another way, he is secretly losing weight and quitting drinking... He is in Ready to give me your heart, that kid... so stupid..."

Liang Zirui was stunned, obviously surprised.

The success rate of heart transplantation is indeed much higher, and they are the best match. After receiving the transplant, if Lu Shang is lucky, he can live for ten or twenty years. It was going to take Li Sui's life in exchange. Liang Zirui never dreamed that Li Sui had been reluctant to take Leon's surgery plan, and he was actually weighing this.

"Ari, give me the medicine, I can't show it in front of him, I can't leave him any chance, I'm going to bet 10% on this."

Running up and down in the winter, Li Sui was sweating profusely. He stood by, patiently waiting for Dr. Liang to read the examination report, and asked, "How is he?"

Liang Zirui's face was very ugly, and he rarely said anything.

Li Sui's heart suddenly froze, but Lu Shang reached out his hand to get up at this moment. Li Sui was afraid that he would touch the hot water cup by the bedside, so he rushed over to support him.

"When will I go back?" Lu Shang was still weak and his voice was hoarse.

"Wait a little longer, I'll go home soon." Li Sui coaxed softly.

After coaxing Lu Shang to sleep, Li Sui gently closed the door and asked Liang Zirui, "Is the situation very bad?"

Liang Zirui looked uncertain and only asked, "Have you made up your mind? When will Leon come over for surgery?"

Li Sui's fist tightened suddenly: "I..."

Seeing the way he was dodging, Liang Zirui knew that Lu Shang's guess was right at all, and with a "sigh", pushed him away and left.

Lu Shang didn't want to spend the night in the hospital, so Li Sui had to wait for the fever-reducing injection to finish before taking him back. The car was halfway through, and it suddenly began to snow, and it was scattered in front of the window.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road. The snow fell suddenly, and many people did not use umbrellas. Not far away, there were playful children who ran out cheering and shouting with joy.

"It's snowing?" Lu Shang asked suddenly.

Li Sui thought he could see it, but when he turned his head, he found that his eyes were empty, his eyes didn't move, and his heart sank again: "Well, how do you know?"

Lu Shang coughed twice: "I heard it."

Li Sui looked at his pale cheeks and slender neck, the faint blue veins under his skin, his whole body was so fragile that it seemed to disappear at any moment, and he felt a little panic for no reason.

"Lu Shang," Li Sui shook hands with him, "Uncle Yuan and I took a two-week leave. After the New Year, let's go on a trip to a warm place."

Lu Shang smiled lightly: "Okay."

After the injection, Lu Shang's body temperature dropped slightly. When he got home, Li Sui warmed the porridge and gave him a small bowl: "Eat a little."

Lu Shang obviously had no appetite, he swallowed for a long time without swallowing. Seeing Li Sui staring at him with worried eyes, his heart softened and he forced himself to eat half a bowl.

As a result, nausea started in the middle of the night, caustic soda was poured into his stomach, and bursts of intense discomfort kept surging. Li Sui noticed that his body was shaking and hurriedly helped him up.

Lu Shang didn't even have to go to the bathroom, he vomited right next to the bed, sweating all over his body.

Li Sui watched him vomit with red eyes, and felt so distressed that his chest felt like a big rock, patted his back, rinsed his mouth, and put him back on the bed.

Li Sui hardly slept all night. He took care of Lu Shang and took some oxygen. He watched him gradually fall asleep. He didn't feel sleepy at all. He squatted on the ground alone, cleaned up the filth on the carpet, and disinfected it with a towel. The water was wiped over and over again, and as I wiped it, the tears fell.

How is it so fast

Lu Shang had been ill for half a month, and when the snow outside the house had accumulated and melted away, the situation finally improved, but Li Sui clearly felt that his body had become very weak since this illness. .

"This year's annual banquet of the staff group, do you want to see the attendance list of the high-level executives?" Li Sui has been almost inseparable recently, and even the fax machine in the office has been brought in.

Lu Shang wrapped a blanket and leaned on the wheelchair to take a nap: "It's up to you to decide."

"The city government invited me and you to make a call for environmental protection public welfare projects. How much do you think is appropriate to donate?"

“… Environmental public welfare?”

"Um."

Li Sui waited for a while without waiting for an answer, and turned around to see that Lu Shang actually fell asleep talking. He sighed softly, and in order to avoid catching a cold, he got up and carried him to the bed.

Just as he got up and took a step, he paused and his arms tightened.

so much lighter.

It was only half a month, and Lu Shang seemed to lose weight all of a sudden. The whole person was like a rapidly withering plant, and the lush branches and leaves fell to pieces overnight. No matter how sick or uncomfortable he was before, Li Sui had never had such a fear. At that time, although Lu Shang's physical condition was not good, his mental power was always strong, which made people believe that he could get better. Sui wasn't sure, but he was worried every night whether Lu Shang would fall asleep without waking up.

"I won't let anything happen to you..." Li Sui hugged him tightly from behind, trying to hide all his unease in the depths of the night.

At a time when the company was unstable, Li Sui deliberately raised the year-end bonus for employees at the end of the year. This move was somewhat flattering, but I have to say that the charm of money is still very obvious. The leaders are also unwilling to be the spearhead at this juncture, and the year-end banquet was finally held successfully.

This year, the two major shareholders of the company did not attend. It is not surprising that Lu Shang did not come. He has always disliked lively occasions, but Liu Xingtian did not come, which is very unusual. This kind of moment of presence, he always is keen.

"He signed up for a training school not long ago, and he seems to be quite busy during this time." Uncle Yuan said.

"Training school?" Li Sui wondered.

Both of them felt puzzled for a while. Liu Xingtian's own education level was not high, and he had never set foot in the education industry before, so he suddenly changed his career for some reason.

Li Sui faintly felt a little abnormal. Liu Xingtian was also an entrepreneur at the earliest. In the past few years, the Internet finance became very popular. He was greedy and ran to register his own financial company. Unfortunately, his strength was not good, and he never started it, but he still lost money. Bloodless.

Anyone who has been involved in the financial industry knows that the capital game is a giant roller coaster. It is difficult for ordinary people to accept this huge psychological gap. . This is also why it is always difficult for those who are bankrupt in business to make a comeback, while those who are bankrupt in finance are always difficult to make a comeback.

Li Sui didn't believe that Liu Xingtian could have such courage.

The two walked from the elevator to the garage, and just after they got down to the first floor, a drunk female employee came out of the bathroom and stumbled over.

"Slow down." Li Sui gave her a quick hand.

The two looked at each other, and the woman immediately pulled her arm back, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of her hand, but she drank too much alcohol and slammed into the car door before taking two steps.

"Isn't that Secretary Yang?" Uncle Yuan said.

Li Sui sighed softly and walked over: "You can't do this, I'll find someone to take you off."

"You don't need to be merciful!" Secretary Yang shook him off. She obviously drank a lot, the makeup on her face was smeared, and her clothes were stained with oil.

Li Sui ignored her and asked Uncle Yuan to call Xiao Zhao, saying, "I just care about ordinary employees, you don't need to think too much."

Secretary Yang lowered his head and looked at him slantingly, but he did not refuse.

Xiao Zhao came quickly, and when Secretary Yang was sent away, Li Sui and Uncle Yuan looked at each other, tacit understanding of each other.

"It seems that Liu Xingtian is going to make a big move."

Li Sui clenched his hands, frowning deeply in thought.

When he got home, Lu Shang rarely fell asleep. He was sitting beside the stove with a stack of cloth samples on his knees, and was rubbing it repeatedly with his hands.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Li Sui went over and pulled his wheelchair away to avoid getting burned.

Lu Shang smiled lightly and handed him the fabric pattern in his hand: "I have chosen a few new fabrics from the custom shop, you can see which pattern looks good."

"Do you want to order a shirt?" He smiled and took it. They were all high-quality fabrics and felt very textured. Li Sui chose a plain one and compared it on his neck, "This light blue The color matches you."

Lu Shang lightly smiled and avoided his hand, his face still very pale: "It's for you."

"The clothes you chose for me, as long as I don't gain weight, will be enough to wear until I'm sixty years old." Li Sui sat down directly opposite, took off Lu Shang's shoes, touched his feet, and frowned, "Why still It's so cold, is it cold?"

Lu Shang silently shook his head.

Li Sui got up and took the things from his hands and leaned over to hug him: "Don't worry about this, go and sleep with me for a while."

"You smell perfume." Lu Shang suddenly said.

Li Sui was very embarrassed. He lowered his head and smelled it. The position of his wrist was really there, but it was very faint. Most of the time it was stained by Secretary Fu Yang, he didn't notice it at all. He didn't expect Lu Shang's nose to be so sharp.

"Did you mess with flowers outside?" Lu Shang laughed at him.

Li Sui was amused by him: "Are you jealous?"

Lu Shang pretended to be angry and nodded, "Let me guess my 'rival in love'. She is a woman, under 30 years old, beautiful, and pays attention to dressing up, but the economic situation should not be very good."

Li Sui thought he was joking at first, but the more he listened, the more incredible it became: "Are you Sherlock Holmes?"

Lu Shang shook his head and said with a smile, "This is the most expensive perfume of L's family last spring. For a while, I could smell it wherever I went."

"Then how do you know her financial situation is not good?"

"This brand has relatively cheap models. If you just love vanity, it's enough to buy cheap models. Women who will pay a high price to buy this perfume are very particular, and generally don't use products that are two years out of date, so I guess this person, Either the perfume was given by someone else, or her finances were in trouble."

Li Sui was suddenly awakened by his words, and he thought of Liu Xingtian's training school. Lu Shang couldn't see the shocked expression on his face, and urged him to take a bath: "It smells bad, go and wash it off."

Li Sui didn't expect Lu Shang to have a monopoly on him in terms of smell, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy while he was funny.

New Year's Eve approached soon. In order to free up the two-week vacation after the new year, Li Sui brought his work forward and ran around the project site all day.

On a snowy day, it got dark early, and there were anxious people setting off fireworks in the distance. Lu Shang asked Aunt Lu to heat up another dish, and put out roses and cakes on the table.

"Do you want to put in a candle?" Aunt Lu asked with a smile.

Lu Shang thought about it and nodded.

"How many are inserted?"

"Five."

New Year's Eve is not only the New Year's Eve, but also their anniversary. Lu Shang didn't like to count these days, but this year is special, so he thought he would spend it.

And for some unknown reason these days, he always remembered the time when he first brought Li Sui back. How could such a thin child turn into a taller and taller young man than him in the blink of an eye.

"Little Li must be very happy to be back." Aunt Lu smiled.

Thinking of Li Sui, Lu Shang smiled, and took out a thick red envelope from under the wheelchair and handed it to her: "I've been bothering you all year, hard work."

Aunt Lu made a slight push, but still accepted.

"Go home for the New Year." Lu Shang knew that she had children at home.

"That… "

Lu Shang smiled lightly: "It's okay, he's coming back soon."
