After finishing the work, it was already midnight when he got home. As soon as Lu Shang entered the door, he saw Li Sui lying on the sofa in the living room, with one arm hanging outside, his clothes hadn't changed yet, and a sturdy back was faintly peeking out from under his blood-stained shirt. Li Sui has grown longer than before, and his bones are already that of a big man. Due to the amount of exercise, muscles can still be seen in his arms.

Lu Shang checked his arm, the wound had been bandaged, and the blood was cleaned up one by one. A few anti-inflammatory medicines and a glass of water were placed on the table, and the water was already cool.

Lu Shang patted him, but he didn't wake up. When he checked his body temperature, he found that the temperature on Li Sui's forehead was too high, indicating that he had a fever. Immediately call Liang Zirui and ask him to come over.

The person on the other end was probably asleep, and asked in a daze, "Are you sick?"

"It's not me, the little guy may have inflammation in his wound and he has a fever."

Liang Zirui gave a "uh" and said like a wandering soul: "I know... I'll come..."

Lu Shang hung up the phone and looked down to find that Li Sui was awake, looking at him, his eyes were shining, his cheeks were a little red due to the fever.

"The doctor is on the way, be patient." He rarely spoke in such a gentle tone.

Li Sui just smiled, closed his eyes and fell back asleep.

Lu Shang was taken aback by this nervous laugh. He felt inexplicably being teased. He immediately realized that this guy had the guts. I'm afraid he didn't wake up at all and was confused.

It's not convenient to bother Aunt Lu again at this time. Lu Shang became a nanny, put him in the bedroom, lightly wiped his feet, put on clean clothes and put them on the bed. He lost too much blood, and Li Sui probably felt a little chilly. As soon as he touched the quilt, he recoiled in, like a tortoise.

He was suddenly amused by this action, and he felt inexplicable.

However, the smile did not touch the corner of his lips, and gradually faded away. Li Yan's matter is not over yet, Xu Weilan and the others are still waiting for his reply. When the day dawns, he must put away all hesitations and make the most correct decision in everyone's eyes.

The worst thing in life is that what is right and what is most wanted often go against each other.

There was some noise from downstairs, and after a while, Liang Zirui climbed upstairs with a body as heavy as a zombie.

"It's only been so long since I left, so many things have happened." He had two big dark circles under his eyes.

Lu Shang gave him the position beside the bed, and there was no emotion on his face.

"Fortunately, the wound isn't a big problem. After an injection, I sweat a little, and I'll be fine tomorrow." After Liang Zirui checked, he quickly pulled out the syringe and gave Li Sui a needle. Probably feeling the pain, Li Sui groaned in his sleep, but he didn't wake up.

"Will the wound leave a scar?" Lu Shang asked for the first time.

Liang Zirui had an indifferent expression: "What are you afraid of when a big man leaves a scar... Oh, you feel ashamed, right? I'll go back and get you some ointment for removing scars?"

Lu Shang nodded, looked at Li Sui who was sleeping soundly, leaned his whole body on the back of the chair, and after a long time, said tiredly, "I think I seem to have done something wrong."

Liang Zirui: "Your heart is too soft, since you can't be ruthless, you shouldn't provoke him in the first place."

"Softhearted?" Lu Shang turned his head and said hesitantly, "...No one has ever said that."

"Don't you think you're hesitant to do things now? You weren't like that before."

Lu Shang fell silent.

"Okay, let's go to bed, what time is it," Liang Zirui was so sleepy that he looked down at his watch, "You know that every time you don't sleep, there will be problems?"

Lu Shang ignored him and rubbed his temple with one hand, looking preoccupied.

Liang Zirui put away the equipment and couldn't help but sighed, he is small, everything is good, but the principle is too strong, and it is a shaft to say it is ugly. As a businessman, this is really not an advantage. When he first knew that he decided to come back to take over Dongyan, he was worried about whether Lu Shang was competent.

"Tonight, Ah Zuo brought someone to see me in the emergency room, and he told me a couple of words, saying that you are reluctant to let Li Sui go to the troubled water, and even he saw it."

"This matter has nothing to do with Li Sui."

"Lu Shang, you overestimate yourself, you are not a saint after all."

Hearing this, Lu Shang raised his head, bloodshot in his eyes.

"When you brought him back, you should have expected this day. Your positions are opposite, understand?"

Lu Shang said solemnly, "I know."

They are all transparent people, and it is useless to say more. Liang Zirui stopped short and turned the conversation: "There is another thing. I found that there are strangers in Rui Ge's office area recently, and I don't know who they are. I will arrange a few more people on duty, and you should pay more attention to the movements around you. The day after tomorrow, I will go back to the United States to submit a report. When I come back at the end of the month, you can go to my uncle if you have anything."

Lu Shang nodded, got up to see him, just stood up, suddenly dizzy in front of him, almost lost his footing, Liang Zirui gave him a quick hand, and said seriously: "Damn, what did you do?"

Lu Shang shook his head: "It's alright, maybe I'm tired, just get some sleep."

When he left, Liang Zirui was still not at ease, and repeatedly warned that the doctor's occupational diseases all appeared. Lu Shang felt a pain in his head, and closed the car door for him and sent the Buddha away.

He was about to leave for the island. At this juncture, he absolutely couldn't get out of the way. Lu Shang walked back to the bedroom door and heard movement inside. He pushed the door open and saw that Li Sui was reaching for the water cup by the bedside. Obviously not working.

He walked over and pressed the person back to the bed. Seeing that the water in the cup was cold, he took it out and poured it out and changed it to a warm cup.

Li Sui was so thirsty that he drank two cups in a row. Lu Shang checked his body temperature. He was still burning, but he woke up after a sleep. He was young and in good health, and he rarely took injections. Medicine, the body's tolerance is small, Liang Zirui's injection effect is very good.

"Does it still hurt?"

Li Sui shook his head and patted the position beside the bed. The meaning was obvious, so he also rested.

Lu Shang hesitated for a while, then took off his coat and lay down.

"I heard what Dr. Liang said." The two were lying flat. Li Sui turned his head and found this position. He stretched out his hand just enough to press Lu Shang's head on his shoulder.

"What do you want to say?" Lu Shang didn't seem very happy.

"I will, if I can help you." Li Sui got up slightly and leaned over to look at him with seriousness in his eyes.

Lu Shang chuckled: "What do you want, you don't even know what it is."

"I… "

"I'm tired, go to sleep." Lu Shang raised his hand and turned off the light.

Li Sui touched his finger from under the quilt and squeezed it lightly. He still had something to say and wanted to confess. In this situation, maybe it should be a good time. Like a jammed gramophone at a ball, unable to utter a single word.

He suddenly had a trace of hatred in the silent night, hating his own incompetence. Lu Shang's words made sense, but he didn't know anything at all. He didn't know what Lu Shang was doing every day, what he was worrying about, and what he could do for him. He didn't know anything. What he has, Lu Shang may not be rare, but what Lu Shang wants, he can't afford. Even at this moment, "I am willing" or "I am willing to do anything", how much value is there to Lushang, and anyone can replace it.

An oath that was too immature, it sounded too much like a blank check, and he could give too little, which was too insignificant compared to what the other party gave him. Holding Lushang's bank card, he said that he would pay Lushang to solve his worries. He had made such a joke once last year, and there would be no second time.

The sky was getting brighter, and there was a regular breathing sound beside him. Li Sui was not sleepy, his body was sweaty, and his neck was uncomfortable, but he was afraid of disturbing the people around him, so he lay still and didn't move until the phone on the bedside rang. Come. When Lu Shang was resting, his mobile phone was always on silent state. Thinking about it, he was very tired last night, and he didn't even care about these details.

Lu Shang's sleeping time is not fixed, but his wake-up time is at 7:30, which is never too late. Now it is just after 8:00, and it stands to reason that he should be sitting at the table for breakfast. Li Sui called him softly, but Lu Shang didn't wake up, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his face was pale. He remembered Dr. Liang's sporadic instructions last night, and helped him put the phone on silent.

Li Sui pulled away and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The fever came and went quickly. After sweating all night, it was all gone. When I got out of the shower, my phone was ringing for the third time.

He raised an alarm bell in his heart. Dongyan's employees are well-trained, and they will report urgent matters to Uncle Yuan.

Lu Shang opened his eyes slowly, as if he had a sense Trembling.

The next second his eyes moved to him, Li Sui calmed down and handed over the phone by the bedside: "I called it three times."

Lu Shang propped himself up and pulled his elbows to the hem of the nightgown, revealing sharpened shoulders. Li Sui was startled, and turned his head uncomfortably.

Lu Shang stared at the number on the screen of his mobile phone and didn't notice his small movements. He reached out his hand to connect, then stood up and walked to the bathroom: "What's the matter?"

The people over there didn't know what to say, Lu Shang paused and said solemnly: "I know, I'll come."

Not knowing what the emergency happened, Lu Shang left without even having breakfast. When Li Sui went to get the clothes he had changed, he found that he didn't have his wallet and documents, and his mobile phone was left on the table. Aunt Lu hasn't entered their room since they slept in the same bed. Li Sui took the change of clothes out to her, and the room was tidied up when neither of them were there, so she didn't find it immediately.

Li Sui stood at the door, looked at the sky with black clouds rolling in, and suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

"Aunt Lu, do you still have a car at home? I want to find him."
