On the third day, Jiang Huai found that his symptoms were getting worse.
When I woke up in the morning, Lu Wusui was gone.
He got up from the bed, ran to the bathroom, and vomited violently.
There was actually nothing in his stomach, but vomiting like this was the most uncomfortable thing. It felt like his head was stuffed with cotton and he had lost even the basic ability to think.
After vomiting, he hugged the toilet, feeling that it was the end.
Some of the previous symptoms did not match his condition when he was sick in his previous life.
But the symptom of vomiting is exactly the same!
More than just vomiting.
There was also a headache – if you think about it carefully, he was not in a particularly good mood when he was sick, and was even particularly irritable.
In fact, Jiang Huai was luckier than anyone else as he was able to be reborn unexpectedly and save his life.
After all, he was supposed to die in his previous life, and how many dead people can start their lives again?
At this moment, the person Jiang Huai thought of was Lu Wusui who was angry with him yesterday.
If, if he died.
What should Lu Wusui do?
This idea came up suddenly, without any basis or explanation.
Jiang Huai held the toilet and thought for a long time in the bathroom.
In his drowsy state, he seemed to understand a little bit why he had this idea.
Because Lu Wusui likes him.
It seemed that even his relatives’ love for him was limited. When he was disobedient, they could take back their love at any time, then destroy him as the big account and train Jiang Yu as the small account again.
But Lu Wusui wouldn’t do that. Lu Wusui could even tolerate his temper and even took him to watch the stars.
He used to think that Lu Wusui was a bad person, but recently he discovered that Lu Wusui was not that bad after all.
But Lu Wusui got angry when he even mentioned divorce.
If he knew that he was sick, no matter how angry Lu Wusui was, he would be helpless.
He can choose not to file for divorce with Lu Wusui first.
But he had to die.
What should Lu Wusui do? He will be sad.
When Jiang Huai thought about this, he also became a little sad.
Jiang Huai’s mood, after a bright night, was overcast.
Lu Wusui: …
How long will this happiness last? Just 30 minutes before bedtime?
Moreover, when Jiang Huai was in a bad mood and remained silent, Lu Wusui realized that the atmosphere of the Lu family was entirely created by Jiang Huai.
When he was happy, the entire Lu family seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.
Once he stopped talking, the atmosphere in the Lu family plummeted and became suffocatingly quiet.
This time Jiang Huai is not in a bad mood.
It’s a depression that is visible to the naked eye.
I couldn’t muster any interest when eating, and when I was painting, I just stared blankly at the brush and couldn’t put pen to paper.
Lu Wusui couldn’t help but frown.
When his partner loses control of his emotions, Lu Wusui is not the kind of person who would ask his partner “Why are you angry again?”
After finding that Jiang Huai’s emotions could not be calmed down after one or two attempts, he began to look for the reason.
Yesterday he thought Jiang Huai was upset because of the painting.
After all, if you ask Jiang Huai what he cares about, it must be painting.
But looking at it today, it doesn’t seem to be because of this.
Lu Wusui was a little anxious.
In the evening, after finishing his meal, Lu Wusui came up with a new idea.
He had the terrace cleaned and manually added a lot of flowers and plants to the terrace, hoping that Jiang Huai would be a little happier when he saw it.
He couldn’t find the reason for the time being, but he could still make Jiang Huai happy.
However – this time it was a bit of a setback.
When Jiang Huai was led over, he saw the flowers and plants on the terrace and his eyes lit up.
About half of the flowers and plants here are new varieties that he has never painted before!
Under Lu Wusui’s gaze, which was pretending to be casual but actually expectant.
Jiang Huai walked forward and sniffed this and that.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he looked obviously happy.
But after a moment of happiness.
He seemed to remember something, and his eyes dimmed again.
I guess he will never be able to smell or paint such a beautiful flower again.
Lu Wusui: …What on earth is going on?
Lu Wusui paused for a moment, squatted down beside him, and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? Or are you unhappy about something?”
When Jiang Huai heard him ask this, he miraculously understood his roundabout way.
But if he told Lu Wusou now why he was unhappy.
——I guess Lu Wusui wouldn’t be happy either?
Jiang Huai saw this kind of plot on TV some time ago, and he always felt that he didn’t quite understand it.
He didn’t understand why the characters in the story would never tell their families when they knew they were sick.
Family members… Lu Wusui can also be considered as his family member, right?
Now that he was safe and sound, he also felt timid and didn’t want to tell anyone.
Jiang Huai turned his head away.
He told the first conscious, serious lie in his life.
In the past, if he didn’t want to tell the truth, he would simply not respond directly.
But this time, he said, “I’m fine.”
Lu Wusui frowned even more tightly.
More than half of the one-week vacation passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Huai’s mood also became less cheerful as he vomited more and more frequently.
Every time Jiang Huai vomited, he would hide from others.
There were a few times when he almost vomited in front of others, but he held it back every time.
He remembered that when he was hospitalized in his previous life, the doctor praised him for his ability to endure pain better than ordinary people.
The doctor said at the time: “People with this disease usually have all kinds of pain at the end, some even rolling on the ground. This is the first patient I have ever seen who didn’t make a sound.”
At that time, Jiang Huai was lying on the bed, his forehead covered with sweat from the pain.
If I live my life again, will I still not be able to escape fate?
In fact, he still has lingering fears about that kind of pain.
It’s not painful yet, it’s just vomiting, so it’s relatively easy for him to endure.
If he had to go through it again, he would want to die before he felt the pain.
Jiang Huai is not a greedy person. He feels very content to be able to live again and to have gained so many days of life for free.
Therefore, he would not have thought that “it turns out that I have to live my life again just to experience that kind of pain again.”
But he just couldn’t be completely open-minded.
It is inevitable that you will be depressed for a period of time.
The summer breeze is rarely refreshing; most of the time it is hot and sticky.
Jiang Huai was not painting. He was sitting on the corridor of the manor, feeling the wind gently blowing the hair on his forehead.
Lu Wusui was sitting next to him.
Ever since he noticed that he was in a bad mood, Lu Wusui has been accompanying him, silently but with strength, as if waiting for Jiang Huai to speak first.
He pretended not to care and played with Jiang Huai’s fingers from time to time.
Jiang Huai’s fingers are slender and tender, like the white part of a scallion, so tender that you seem to be able to squeeze out water.
These are also the hands of a painter who holds a paintbrush every day.
Lu Wusui has met a lot of people. Due to his work, he has to deal with people frequently every once in a while.
He had also seen many people holding pens and signing contracts.
But no other pair of hands can be as beautiful and delicate as Jiang Huai’s. When holding a pen, he doesn’t have to deliberately pose it, and he can look calm and delicate.
But he himself is ignorant and is a little fool who gets confused if he speaks a few more words.
Lu Wusui paused.
He has been in this state of wanting to say something but stopping himself these past two days. He clearly has questions to ask, but he swallows them back.
Jiang Huai was in a trance, and he stared at Jiang Huai’s absent-minded face.
Why? What has upset him recently?
Just as Lu Wusui was also lost in thought, Jiang Huai’s eyes widened slightly and he looked into the distance with some surprise.
Lu Wusui was stunned and looked over there following his gaze.
In a small forest not too far from them, they seemed to be able to see a few small figures shuttling back and forth in the woods from afar.
Lu Wusui narrowed his eyes slightly.
The housekeeper was also watering the flowers nearby. Lu Wusui said, “Housekeeper, go and see who it is.”
A few minutes later, the butler finished talking to the people over there and came back.
He said, “Mr. Lu, there has always been a village under the manor. These children are from that village. They should be here to play.”
Child?
Jiang Huai was rarely aroused by something these two days. He blinked and said to Lu Wusui: “If they come here to play, they should like it here, right? Don’t make things difficult for them.”
Lu Wusui: “… In your eyes, am I still quite ferocious?”
Jiang Huai actually hesitated for a moment.
Lu Wusui understood his hesitation and curled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile.
He snorted and said to the housekeeper, “Call those kids over.”
Jiang Huai’s eyes widened.
He leaned close to Lu Wusu’s ear and asked anxiously, “What are you going to do?”
It was rare for Lu Wusui to see his mood improve a little.
He paused again and said deliberately: “Didn’t you say I was fierce and evil? I’ll show you how fierce I am.”
Jiang Huai: …Where did he say that!
Lu Wusui saw that his expression suddenly became much more lively, and his heart, which seemed to be clenched by something for the past two days, also relaxed a little.
He smiled and cleared his throat.
Then the housekeeper brought the children up.
Jiang Huai is really a little anxious this time.
He was sitting next to Lu Wusui and was about to stand up. At this moment, Lu Wusui also stood up and put his arms around his waist.
As he hugged it, he found that the feeling seemed a little wrong.
…Why do I seem to have gained some weight?
Although Jiang Huai doesn’t like to exercise, he has good innate conditions and a soft and slender waist.
Now when he held him in his arms, the flesh around his waist and abdomen was all held by Lu Wusui’s hand.
But soon, he had no time to think about it.
The children stood in front of the two men.
No one knew what the butler said to them, which caused them to look guilty. They lowered their heads in front of the two men and did not dare to speak.
Lu Wusui asked in a deep voice: “How did you get in?”
You know, this place is a private estate, and there is an iron railing where his land and public land meet.
There were even iron spikes on the railings.
One of the children might be the leader. After hearing Lu Wusui’s question, he whispered, “Crawled, crawled in…”
Lu Wusui: “…”
It must be said that children of this age are like monkeys.
Seeing that he had a sullen face and didn’t say anything, the children were so frightened that they didn’t dare to speak.
Until Jiang Huai tugged at Lu Wusui’s sleeve.
Lu Wusui’s brows softened, and then he held Jiang Huai’s hand.
The housekeeper standing by: …This double standard is indeed quite obvious.
Lu Wusui cleared his throat and spoke slowly, “Do you know where this is? How dare you come in?”
The leading child mustered up his courage and said, “We know that, we will definitely not come in next time.”
This child is quite stubborn.
Even though he was caught, he didn’t even say a word of apology. The friend next to him was also like a mute, lowering his head and not saying a word.
Lu Wusui frowned.
Originally, he called these kids over to tease Jiang Huai, but now he really wanted to discipline him.
He put his hands on his hips, his posture was casual yet revealed a bit of dominance.
When his eyes swept over the group of children, one of them couldn’t help but tremble.
The leading child said, “We know we are wrong. We are sorry. Can you let us go?”
”Do you know you’re wrong?” Lu Wusui’s expression was calm. “From your attitude, you don’t seem to know you’re wrong. And what about these friends next to you? Why don’t they know how to speak?”
When his eyes fell on one of them, he paused slightly.
Lu Wusui stepped forward and asked, “What did you take from me…”
However, before he could get close, his arm was grabbed by Jiang Huai.
Lu Wusui: “…”
Jiang Huai looked nervous and said to the group of children, “Hurry up, hurry up, just go.”
Lu Wusui: “……?”
When the children heard Jiang Huai say this, they were a little hesitant.
It was not until they saw Jiang Huai standing in front of Lu Wusui that one of them reacted, hugged the things in his arms, and ran away.
Lu Wusui reacted and frowned, “Butler!”
The housekeeper got the order – although he was slacking off at work, he never failed to deliver at the critical moment.
A few minutes later, the housekeeper held down the little boy who was holding something in his arms.
Then he was brought in front of Lu Wusui.
At this time, Lu Wusui also grabbed Jiang Huai’s wrist with his backhand, hugged Jiang Huai in his arms, and completely imprisoned him.
The child was in a rather disheveled state, and the things in his arms fell out.
Several children gathered around anxiously.
”Don’t fall!”
”How is it? Are you okay?”
Lu Wusui was holding Jiang Huai and was about to say something when he heard a faint cat’s meow.
”Meow.”
The children hurriedly picked up a cat that looked no bigger than a palm.
“Meow, meow.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
He glanced at Jiang Huai, who looked worried—as if he had known about it for a long time.
His expression became subtle.
A few minutes later, Lu Wu Sui sat beside the coffee table. The children stood in a row again. Jiang Huai also stood there – in his arms was the cat that he had just asked the children for.
”My dad said that if we bring a cat home, we have to throw it in the trash can,” the leading child who was quite stubborn just now lowered his head. “We thought of finding a place to keep the cat outside, but we didn’t expect it to get scared and suddenly run around.”
”Yes, yes,” said another child, “We came into your house just to look for it.”
Lu Wusui took a sip of water.
He looked at Jiang Huai, whose attention had been completely taken away by the cat.
The veins on his forehead started to work again, and he suppressed his anger and asked, “When did you know that?”
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then he said guiltily: “I, I just saw the cat first, then I saw them…”
Lu Wusui: “…”
These eyes are quite sharp.
No, it’s even a little too sharp.
Besides, wasn’t Jiang Huai unhappy? Why is he so excited now?
Lu Wusui and the cat in Jiang Huai’s arms looked at each other for a moment.
He felt indifferent towards this furry creature and even felt a little disgusted by it – who knew if this cat would scratch Jiang Huai in the next second?
Lu Wusui said: “Hurry up and give it back to them, I will let them go.”
The children’s eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai was a little unhappy again this time.
He held the kitten in his arms, looked at Lu Wusui, and then looked at the child next to him who was looking expectant.
The children stretched out their hands to him and said in a very sweet voice, “Thank you, brother.”
In fact, these kids all looked a little shabby.
But his eyes were exceptionally bright, a bit like the stars that Jiang Huai saw that day.
Jiang Huai felt a little depressed. He touched the head of the kitten in his arms and then reluctantly handed it to the child.
Lu Wusui pretended not to notice the reluctance in Jiang Huai’s eyes.
The children turned and left. Lu Wusui breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Huai, “Come here and give me a hug.”
Jiang Huai ignored him.
Lu Wusui: …
Normal, I’m used to it.
Just when he thought Jiang Huai was angry, Jiang Huai sighed, walked awkwardly to Lu Wusui’s side and sat down.
Then he snuggled into Lu Wusui’s arms.
This is a bit abnormal.
Lu Wusui was just saying it casually, but he didn’t expect Jiang Huai to actually do it.
His whole body stiffened.
When he lowered his eyes, he could see Jiang Huai’s long eyelashes drooping down in a look of loss.
Lu Wusui placed his hand on Jiang Huai’s shoulder and slowly frowned.
It’s so hard to make him happy…
At this moment, the children in front suddenly stopped, turned around and ran towards them.
”Uncle, brother!” one of the sweet-mouthed children said, “We have something else to do. Can you give us a few minutes?”
Lu Wusui: …What did that little brat just call him?
If I remember correctly, they were just calling Jiang Huai ‘brother’.
So, is this uncle addressing him?
Soon, the child confirmed his idea, “Uncle, can you give us a few minutes to talk to this brother?”
Jiang Huai has straightened up.
The child didn’t care about anything and asked him eagerly: “Brother, do you think this kitten is cute?”
Jiang Huai subconsciously glanced at Lu Wusui.
The child held the kitten in his hands and said pleadingly, “If we take it back, it will die. Brother, you are so handsome, can you keep it?”
Jiang Huai was a little surprised.
He couldn’t help but look at the cat, feeling a little helpless for a moment.
”It won’t eat much. You just need to give it some food and a drink of water every day, and it will live well. And, and…”
”And it’s very well behaved!” another person added in time, “It was like that just now because it was scared. It’s usually very well behaved and doesn’t bark often. It’s very quiet. When it grows up, it can catch mice for your home!”
Several children chatted at once, listing a bunch of advantages of the kitten.
Jiang Huai’s breathing became rapid.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Wusui beside him several times. The expression on his face did not look happy, but rather conflicted.
He…he’s not sure how long he has left to live.
What if he really died, would the kitten be left unattended?
Lu Wusui didn’t like cats either, and he always remembered it because his housekeeper told him so.
Just when Jiang Huai was thinking about how to refuse.
Lu Wusui stood up and looked at the cat in the child’s palm with a frown.
He controlled his expression, then reached out and grabbed the cat’s head and pulled it up.
Jiang Huai was frightened instantly and said quickly: “Don’t hold it like that!”
Lu Wusui was also startled.
He subconsciously caught the cat, but Jiang Huai hurriedly carried it away.
Lu Wusui: …It’s just a cat, why are you in such a hurry?
It wasn’t like he was mistreating the cat.
Moreover, during the two days when he was in pain after the operation, Jiang Huai didn’t seem to care about him that much.
Lu Wusui felt a little jealous and thought in a somewhat unreasonable way.
The cat was eventually kept.
After the children found out that the cat was accepted by Jianghuai, they were so happy that they almost jumped up.
They looked at Jiang Huai’s face, and one of them was bold enough to even say, “Pretty brother, can I kiss you?”
He was blocked by Lu Wusui with a dark face.
The child felt a little lost.
Compared to Lu Wusui’s aggressive appearance, Jiang Huai’s gentle temperament is more popular with children.
Lu Wusui is also good-looking, but anyone who sees Lu Wusui for the first time is not attracted by his appearance, but frightened by his aura.
Wait until the children’s cheerful figures disappear at the door.
Jiang Huai said happily, “I think all the children are very cute.”
Lu Wusui: Cute as hell.
Not only did he send a troublemaker here, but he also called him uncle.
Still want to kiss him!
”If I could have a child…” Jiang Huai was a little bit yearning, but then he realized something and stopped talking.
After hearing what he said, Lu Wusui’s eyes also fell on his stomach.
His child with Jiang Huai?
They should be hundreds of times cuter than these kids.
However, he has already had a sterilization, and having a child would be risky for Jiang Huai, so it’s no big deal to not have a child.
Lu Wusui didn’t care much and put his arm around Jiang Huai’s shoulders. “We’ve been blowing the wind for a long time today, let’s go inside…”
Before he could finish.
The kitten meowed twice and grabbed Jiang Huai’s collar, as if looking for something.
Jiang Huai’s eyes lit up and his expression showed that he was touched by the cuteness.
His tone was also different from usual, and he spoke softly, “Are you hungry, baby? Can I find you something to eat?”
Lu Wusui: Grind his teeth slowly.
Housekeeper: I’ve seen it before and I’m used to it.
”If it’s hungry, it should be able to find food by itself, right?” Lu Wusui pretended not to care. “I remember that cats were raised like this in the past. Put it in the yard and it can survive on its own…”
Jiang Huai looked at him with disapproval.
When he faced Lu Wusou, his tone returned to normal, that slow tone, “We must take good care of it. If it can survive on its own, those kids can just leave it in the woods. Why ask us to take care of it?”
Lu Wusui: “…”
They themselves said that it’s okay to give it a little and leave it, right?
”Lu Wusui,” Jiang Huai said slowly as always. He pursed his lips and said firmly, “Drive and buy cat food for it.”
When he is gone and we have to find a home for the cat, the Lu family will definitely be the best.
Lu Wusui: …Why.
