Lu Wusui thought about it and said seriously: “I can’t accept it.”

　　Jiang Huai said regretfully: “Then there is nothing we can do.”

　　”There is a way,” Lu Wusui paused and said casually, “Just don’t draw it.”

　　Jiang Huai exclaimed, “But I have to draw it…”

　　Lu Wusui didn’t give him the chance to continue nagging.

　　He was actually just teasing Jiang Huai and didn’t really want him to come and take care of him.

　　After Jiang Huai finished explaining the cause and effect relationship of “if he doesn’t paint, he won’t have any royalties to pay back”, there was no trace of Lu Wusui in front of him.

　　Jiang Huai: “…”

　　*

　　In the evening, the doctor gave Lu Wusui an injection as usual. When he turned around and saw Jiang Huai, he could hardly control the smile on his face.

　　Lu Wusui took a deep breath.

　　Jiang Huai actually came over with his set of equipment, with easels and drawing boards spread out on the floor.

　　Lu Wusui’s patience has its limits.

　　He rubbed the veins on his forehead and said in a deep voice: “Jiang Huai, get out.”

　　Jiang Huai was holding a paintbrush, and he didn’t even raise his head when he heard it, “No, I need to look at you, I know you don’t like me painting next to you…”

　　Lu Wusui: “…”

　　”Hey, but I owe you so much money, how can I pay you back if I don’t paint? Just think of the drawing board as a vase,” Jiang Huai paused, finally remembering something, “By the way, where is my lake grass?”

　　The doctor burst out laughing.

　　Lu Wusou said with a fake smile: “Throw it away.”

　　”Throw it away?” Jiang Huai stood up immediately, forgetting to put down his paintbrush. “How could you throw it away?”

　　Seeing that he was about to debate with Lu Wusui, the doctor was immediately scared and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly stopped him and said, “Okay, okay, just throw it away and buy another one. Mr. Lu is still a patient.”

　　Jiang Huai bit his lip and looked at Lu Wusui a little aggrieved.

　　Being stared at with such moist eyes, Lu Wusui rarely felt a little insecure.

　　He looked away, his face looking a little cold and hard.

　　Jiang Huai finally sat down under the doctor’s advice.

　　But his expression was not as happy as it had been at the beginning, and he was visibly unhappy.

　　The doctor closed the door carefully.

　　After they were the only two people left in the room, Lu Wusui cleared his throat and said, “Are you angry?”

　　Jiang Huai is like a little kid.

　　But what Lu Wusui lacks most is experience in coaxing children.

　　At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Lu Rumei had said to him during the day.

　　I already have a child named Jiang Huai at home, if I add another child…

　　I guess I won’t be able to survive.

　　After Lu Wusui asked that question, Jiang Huai didn’t say a word. He just buried his head in painting, and the brush left “swish” marks on the paper.

　　After quieting down, the sound is actually a bit like white noise.

　　In the past, Lu Wusui had tried listening to white noise, but the effect was minimal.

　　But now, looking at Jiang Huai’s angry face and the sound of him painting, he began to feel sleepy again.

　　He didn’t know when he fell asleep.

　　*

　　Although Jiang Huai was drawing, his eyes were always on Lu Wusui.

　　He was waiting for Lu Wusou’s apology.

　　But after waiting for so long, Lu Wusui just fell asleep!

　　Jiang Huai was instantly irritated. He stood up suddenly and stood in front of Lu Wusui. When he found that the noise he made still did not wake him up, he became even angrier.

　　He held the paintbrush and a thought occurred to him.

　　When the tip of his pen touched Lu Wusui’s cheek, Lu Wusui opened his eyes instantly.

　　Jiang Huai’s hand was grasped tightly by Lu Wusui in an instant, and then he felt dizzy and fell onto the bed.

　　Lu Wusui reflexively grabbed his neck, and the IV and the stent shattered to the ground with his movements.

　　Jiang Huai opened his eyes wide.

　　Lu Wusui came back to his senses instantly and loosened his neck. His whole state became much more relaxed from being tense. He suppressed his anger and said, “Are you stupid? Why did you touch me when I was sleeping?”

　　Jiang Huai was stunned.

　　The limbs under his body seemed to have no bones and were pressed down by Lu Wusui, becoming limp. Lu Wusui stood up and stared at Jiang Huai with a frown.

　　”Blood…blood…” Jiang Huai stuttered.

　　Lu Wusui followed his gaze and saw that the IV drip on the back of his hand had started to replenish blood due to the big movement just now.

　　He simply pulled out the needle.

　　When he looked at Jiang Huai again, all his movements froze instantly.

　　——Jiang Huai cried.

　　It was a particularly restrained kind of crying, like a child who had been bullied and was holding back tears, not wanting to be looked down upon but unable to help feeling wronged.

　　Lu Wusui thought that he was giving him face by waiting for him to pull out the needle before crying.

　　He seemed calm in his mind, but in reality, he was extremely stiff and at a complete loss.

　　”I didn’t…” Lu Wusui moved closer to him and lowered his voice, “I didn’t mean it…”

　　Jiang Huai no longer wanted to pay attention to him.

　　He covered his neck, sobbed, sat up, and said solemnly: “I don’t want to take care of you anymore.”

　　Lu Wusui: “…”

　　Then I really thank you.

　　After Jiang Huai said this, he really stood up and started to pack up his painting supplies. Even in this situation, he was still very slow in packing up.

　　Lu Wusui rubbed his brows and hesitated to speak several times.

　　But I couldn’t say the words of apology after all.

　　Jiang Huai finally left. The doctor came over to give Lu Wusui a new injection and then hurried to see Old Madam Lu.

　　After the room became completely quiet, Lu Wusui began to suffer from insomnia again.

　　After tossing and turning, he found a piece of white noise on his phone, which was similar to the sound when Jiang Huai was painting.

　　But he just couldn’t fall asleep.

　　*

　　In the next few days, Jiang Huai started playing hide-and-seek with Lu Wusui.

　　As long as Lu Wusui was at home, he would come back as late as possible. If he couldn’t avoid being with Lu Wusui, he would pretend not to see Lu Wusui.

　　In this world, anyone who dares to lose their temper with Lu Wusui has already learned enough lessons.

　　Lu Wusui is not a good-tempered person either.

　　However, this time, he couldn’t feel much anger towards Jiang Huai.

　　The Lu family’s housekeeper and nanny saw this, kept their mouths shut, and prayed for Jiang Huai in their hearts.

　　Hopefully, they’ll be able to see Jiang Huai at the Lu family again in a few days.

　　However, Jiang Huai not only stayed, but also had a bad temper with Lu Wusui for a few days.

　　*

　　When Jiang Huai was packing up and leaving after class, he did not cover the marks on his neck and was seen by Zhu Xiaoai.

　　Zhu Xiaoai looked shocked, “You and your husband…are playing so wild?”

　　Jiang Huai’s neck was delicate, and Lu Wusui’s grip was strong, leaving a red mark on the neck that day.

　　When I woke up the next day, the mark had turned blue and it would probably take a week to disappear.

　　The blue marks were particularly obvious on Jiang Huai’s snow-white skin, and also gave him a sense of ambiguity.

　　It’s hard not to think wrongly.

　　Jiang Huai didn’t understand what he was saying.

The campus was crowded after school. He covered his neck again and walked with his books in his arms.

　　Zhu Xiaoai understood his naivety, frowned and approached him, “Have you been bullied?”

　　This time Jiang Huai understood.

　　He felt a little aggrieved and bit his lip without saying a word.

　　”This is too much!” Zhu Xiaoai said angrily.

　　Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, “I haven’t said anything yet, how do you know he’s going too far?”

　　”Don’t worry about how I know this,” Zhu Xiaoai held him back, “Just know that he went too far. I’m going with you today to get an explanation for you…”

　　”Excuse me, classmate.”

　　Zhu Xiaoai and Jiang Huai stopped moving at the same time.

　　Jiang Huai looked up, and when he saw who was coming, his pupils suddenly dilated and he looked away uncomfortably.

　　Among the crowd of students, the newcomer was wearing a large and fashionable windbreaker, which was out of place here.

　　Zhu Xiaoai suddenly said: “I know you, you are the owner of the Wood Art Exhibition.”

　　Tao Chuannan nodded gracefully with a smile on his face, “I know you too, you are Xiao Ai, right?”

　　Even though they don’t know each other, they can still call each other so affectionately.

　　His eyes fell on Jiang Huai.

　　Jiang Huai pretended not to see him.

　　Tao Chuannan didn’t seem to care, and said politely: “I came here this time to invite Jiang Huai to participate in our new theme exhibition in a month. The paintings you exhibited in our exhibition last time were praised by many guests, and everyone liked them very much…”

　　Jiang Huai said directly: “I won’t participate.”

　　As if he didn’t expect him to reject him so quickly, Tao Chuannan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “You haven’t contacted us through WeChat, so I already guessed that you would reject me. I just didn’t get a definite answer, so I didn’t give up.”

　　Jiang Huai looked at his current appearance.

　　What he was thinking about was his previous life, and the indifference with which Tao Chuan Nan treated him.

　　Their marriage is a little worse than that of Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui in this life.

　　Tao Chuannan’s say in the family is not as high as Lu Wusou’s, and is almost non-existent.

　　Lu Wusui’s marriage was his own choice.

　　Tao’s marriage with him was a dead end with no other options.

　　Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that his attitude towards Jiang Huai was not good.

　　Jiang Huai has tried his best to avoid him, but he doesn’t understand why he still runs into him, and every time it’s Tao Chuan Nan who takes the initiative to approach him.

　　Fortunately, Tao Chuannan is still relatively graceful.

　　Jiang Huai is just a talented painter. It is already the limit for him to condescend to come here. There is no need for him to pester us.

　　Looking at his back, Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Zhu Xiaoai teased him: “Good fellow, you have been amazing recently. Peach blossoms have come one after another, and they are all high-quality peach blossoms.”

　　”No,” Jiang Huai explained to him, “He doesn’t like me, it’s not a romantic relationship.”

　　Zhu Xiaoai didn’t take it seriously. “Okay, okay, I was just joking.”

　　After this interruption.

　　He also completely forgot about taking Jiang Huai to seek justice for Lu Wusui.

　　*

　　When returning home at night, Jiang Huai habitually opens the door of the living room a crack.

　　Seeing that it was pitch black inside, he pushed the door open with confidence. At this moment, the lights in the living room all lit up with a “click”.

　　Jiang Huai bumped face to face with Lu Wusui, who was standing in the porch turning on the light.

　　In this situation, only the horror of encountering a ghost can be compared to it.

　　Jiang Huai’s entire back was pressed against the door, and the scarf around his neck fell off because of fright.

　　”How long do you plan to hide from me?” Lu Wusui asked.

　　In his hand, he held the lake grass that Jiang Huai had previously raised.

　　The lake grass has grown fully, and the slender grass paths are trembling as if waving to Jianghuai.

　　Jiang Huai’s eyes widened.

　　Lu Wusui opened his palm and held it in front of Jiang Huai.

　　He was waiting for Jiang Huai to smile.

　　However, Jiang Huai pursed his lips and said, “There is more than one.”

　　Lu Wusui: “…what?”

　　”I planted two,” Jiang Huai raised two fingers towards him, “two.”

　　Lu Wusui: “…”

　　Aren’t fools easier to appease than ordinary people?

　　Why is this kid so difficult?
