Nine o’clock in the evening, Lu’s house.
When Jiang Huai returned to the Lu family, the lights were usually on, but today they were all off.
At this time, he didn’t realize anything was wrong.
Fortunately, the housekeeper left a light on for him in the entrance hall. Jiang Huai changed his shoes in the dark, and after reaching the second floor, he went straight to the balcony.
He also remembered that Lu Wusui would be back from a business trip soon, so he had to clean the balcony before Lu Wusui came back.
However, when he went up to the balcony, he found that his grass had disappeared.
Jiang Huai: “…”
He checked twice before he was sure that his grass was gone.
Where can I go?
Jiang Huai immediately thought of the housekeeper, but during this period of time, the housekeeper had also seen him staying on the balcony and had never stopped him.
Just then, the housekeeper came upstairs with a cup of coffee.
When Jiang Huai saw him, he immediately went to greet him. The housekeeper was a little surprised: “Master Jiang, you are back?”
”Well,” Jiang Huai bit his lower lip, “You haven’t slept yet?”
The housekeeper smiled slightly, “Well, Mr. Lu is back today, and there is more work than in the past few days.”
Jiang Huai was stunned when he heard his words.
Lu Wusui…is back?
He turned his head and looked towards the balcony.
The housekeeper suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, Mr. Lu said that you would go see him when you come back. It would be more appropriate for you to bring this cup of coffee in.”
Jiang Huai: “…I don’t want to.”
”Mr. Lu also said,” the housekeeper said calmly, “that he knows your secret on the balcony.”
Jiang Huai: “…”

Five minutes later, Jiang Huai stood at the door of Lu Wusui’s study and knocked on the door reluctantly.
A deep voice came from inside: “Come in.”
Jiang Huai’s heart was rarely lifted. After pushing the door open, the first thing he saw was the profile of Lu Wusui working at his desk.
He had lived here for more than half a month, but this was the first time he entered Lu Wusui’s study.
The decoration here is different from the magnificent one outside. It is simple yet has an indescribable gloom.
In the very center of the room, the designer opened an extremely large window, which was also completely covered by gray curtains.
On both sides of Lu Wusui’s desk are countless books.
Jiang Huai always had a headache when he saw books, and his favorite books were comic books. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but admire Lu Wusui.
How could a normal human being see this number?
Lu Wusui just saw Jiang Huai on the surveillance camera.
After hearing no sound for a long time, he closed the computer in front of him and rubbed his brows uncomfortably, “Are you mute?”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he destroyed the gloomy atmosphere in the room.
Jiang Huai quickly stepped forward, put the coffee next to him, and asked tentatively: “What secret do you know about me?”
Lu Wusui: “…”
I thought he could be more tactful.
Originally, Lu Wusui wanted to tease him.
But he started to feel unwell after dinner. He forced himself to finish the work on this business trip and could not spare any more energy to amuse Jiang Huai.
Lu Wusui said: “I’ll tell you this, then it’s not a secret anymore.”
Jiang Huai bit his rosy lips and looked at Lu Wusui with a confused look.
Looking at his watery eyes, it’s hard not to think of him as a pitiful puppy.
”Since you have been so disobedient recently,” Lu Wusui said, “I have drafted an agreement and will send it to your phone tomorrow. As for your secret…”
Lu Wusui paused, then said compassionately, “I’ll tell you tomorrow. I need to rest today.”
Jiang Huai said “Oh”.
He actually didn’t quite understand why he was disobedient.
But looking at Lu Wusui’s indifferent profile, he was a little timid and didn’t dare to ask, and Lu Wusui had already said that he wanted to rest.
He could only turn around and leave.
The moment he left, Lu Wusui slowly stood up from his seat, and then felt dizzy.
After Jiang Huai went out, he thought more and more that something was wrong. This time he didn’t knock on the door, but pushed it open and went in: “But I just brought you coffee…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Wusui falling down.
*
Ten o’clock in the evening, in Lu Wusui’s bedroom.
Jiang Huai huddled in a small corner and went back to his old job, packing a harmless mushroom[1]trying to reduce his presence. The housekeeper and the family doctor were standing in front of Lu Wusui’s bed, whispering something.
”Mr. Lu is overworked and too tired, so he is taking self-protection measures. It’s not a big problem. He will be fine once the fever goes away.”
”I’ll give Mr. Lu an IV drip in a little while. You’d better have someone watch over him. When the medicine is gone, just remove the needle.”
”Yes, there is one more thing that is more troublesome…”
The housekeeper said quickly: “Just as you say.”
”It’s best to cool Mr. Lu down, apply a cold towel to his forehead, and then wipe the palms of his hands, soles of his feet, and behind his ears with an alcohol cotton pad. This requires a diligent person. See who is suitable.”
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
After the doctor finished saying these words, the housekeeper glanced at Jiang Huai in the corner.
The housekeeper sighed to Jiang Huai and said, “Under normal circumstances, the doctor would have stayed to take care of Mr. Lu. Unfortunately, the old lady has not been feeling well these days, so he has to stay at the Lu family’s old house. Young Master Jiang, we will have to trouble you.”
As for the housekeeper, he had already worked several extra hours today and it was impossible for him to work overtime all night.
So he has to get off work too.
Actually, this is normal.
After all, in this room, Jiang Huai is Lu Wusui’s only legal family member, and the housekeeper is just a housekeeper, not a wet nurse.
——If Jianghuai doesn’t do, who will?

After some wrangling, Jiang Huai finally stayed by Lu Wusui’s bedside.
He didn’t have any sense of belonging to being a relative of Lu Wusui, but he particularly wanted to know where Lu Wusui had put his lake grass.
Also, does Lu Wusui already know that I broke his vase again?
The doctor fixed the bracket of the IV bottle and gave Lu Wusui an injection as Jiang Huai watched in horror.
The housekeeper said, “Thank you for your hard work, doctor.”
”You want me…you want me to pull out this needle?” Jiang Huai was terrified.
The doctor smiled gently, “It’s very simple. It doesn’t matter even if it’s a direct injection. It goes into a vein, so it won’t kill you.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
What’s going on? I’m more worried.
After a while, the doctor finished cleaning up and gave a few more instructions before leaving.
The housekeeper still had some conscience after all: “Master Jiang, if you need anything, just call me anytime.”
He also left under Jiang Huai’s innocent eyes.
However, after the butler left, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Jiang Huai not to get close to Lu Wusui’s bed.
Due to long-term insomnia, Lu Wusui attaches great importance to anything related to sleep.
That included his bed.
*
Jiang Huai’s eyes fell on the alcohol left by the doctor.
The doctor said…what should I do?
A few minutes later, Jiang Huai climbed onto Lu Wusui’s bed – he should be thankful that Lu Wusui was unconscious at this moment.
Otherwise, if Lu Wusui was awake, he would go crazy the moment he saw his feet on the bed.
Jiang Huai picked up the wet towel and placed it on Lu Wusui’s forehead.
Well… then what?
Jiang Huai pondered for a moment, decided to give up, and sat back with a stern face.
After a moment, he stood up again, as if he had made up his mind, sat next to Lu Wusui, slowly reached out his hand… and unbuttoned his shirt.
Then he forgot what to do again.
His slightly cool fingertips touched the skin on Lu Wusui’s neck when he unbuttoned his shirt. The skin was so hot that it made his heart tormented even more.
At this moment, Lu Wusui, who was “asleep”, opened his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Huai with his somewhat dazed eyes, and his voice was unusually hollow, and he said in a cold voice: “Why don’t you take off your own?”
Jiang Huai was startled and instantly let go of his collar.
Lu Wu Sui forced himself to sit halfway on the bed, feeling a little headache. “I heard everything. He told you to wipe behind ears and the palms of my hands and soles of my feet. Were you stupid enough to die in your previous life?”
”No, that’s not it.” Jiang Huai corrected him in a low voice, “I died of illness in my previous life.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
He didn’t know how Jiang Huai died.
But he was sure that he was pissed to death.
