A few low coughs were heard in the dim bedroom.
Jiang Huai carefully took the alcohol cotton and wiped Lu Wusui’s ear. The force was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
Lu Wusui had already lain down, and seeing this, he said, “You must not have eaten enough for dinner, right?”
Jiang Huai let out an “ah”.
”You’re using so little strength, are you afraid that I’ll feel it?” Lu Wusui’s voice was hoarse, “I won’t eat you even if you use a little more strength.”
Hearing this, Jiang Huai hesitantly stretched out a hand.
The next second, Lu Wusui groaned, covered the skin behind his ears, and looked at Jiang Huai.
Maybe it’s because his eyes are too scary.
Jiang Huai shrank back and whispered, “I tried hard…”
really.
Not only did he use strength, he used a lot of strength, and soon the area behind Lu Wusui’s ears turned red.
Jiang Huai squinted his eyes and looked at it, a bit like a kitten looking at something.
He suddenly said with a bit of pride: “Look, I used my strength.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
He forced himself to stand up and said hoarsely, “Thank you, I can do it myself, you go and rest.”
If Jiang Huai continued to “take care” of him, the disease might not be enough to kill him, but Jiang Huai could.
When Jiang Huai heard him say this, he felt a sense of relief.
He quickly handed all the medical supplies in his hand to Lu Wusui, but when he was about to walk out of the bedroom door, he saw Lu Wusui coughing and putting a wet towel on his head, so he stopped.
”The doctor asked me to take care of you,” Jiang Huai bit his lip and squatted beside Lu wusui’s bed, “I can’t leave.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
From his point of view, he could only see Jiang Huai’s two watery eyes peeking out from the edge of his bed.
He paused, “You can go.”
”No, I can’t leave.”
Lu Wusui: “…You can really leave.”
Jiang Huai said firmly: “No.”
Lu Wusui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The moment he closed his eyes, Jiang Huai stretched out his claws towards him and touched the quilt beside his neck again.
Lu Wusui suddenly opened his eyes.
Jiang Huai reached into the bed and touched his hand.
The moment their skin touched, Lu Wusui had a strong urge to shake off, but he finally suppressed the urge.
His hands had become sweaty due to the fever, and were not very warm, but rather cool.
Jiang Huai carefully placed his hand on the quilt and then rubbed alcohol into his palm.
The touch of alcohol is even stranger.
Lu Wusui’s hand shrank, but was straightened by Jiang Huai again.
The hands of the two are not the same size. Jiang Huai’s hands are only slightly bigger than those of an average girl, and Lu Wusui’s hands are also big among boys, but they don’t look bulky because of their distinct joints and slender knuckles.
When the two hands are stacked together, the contrast is very obvious.
Jiang Huai carefully wiped this one and then the rest. When he wanted to lift the quilt to wipe Lu Wusui’s feet, Lu Wusui grabbed him.
The wrist in the palm of my hand is so thin that it seems like it will break if bent.
He relaxed as if he had been electrocuted, and cleared his cough uncomfortably: “It’s okay, I feel much better.”
Jiang Huai was skeptical and still wanted to speak.
Lu Wusui said: “The patient wants to rest, do you want to let him rest?”
Jiang Huai knew that only if people got enough rest could they recover faster.
He sat down and said to Lu Wusui: “Okay.”
Lu Wusui looked at him repeatedly.
After making sure that Jiang Huai really had no intention of leaving, Lu Wusui stopped trying to persuade him. He let out a long sigh, turned his back to Jiang Huai, and closed his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s the effect of the medicine or because there’s this little idiot watching me.
Lu Wusui actually fell asleep.
For Lu Wusui, falling asleep without taking sleeping pills or using any sleeping aids was a very rare thing.
He has severe insomnia.
Relying on drugs to sleep for a long time has become a habit for him. Even when he is sick, he rarely gets high-quality sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a hairy head in front of him.
He was awakened by a tingling sensation on the back of his hand.
Then, it was more than just a tingling sensation. The back of his hand felt cold, as if liquid was dripping down. He raised his hand, but was held down by Jiang Huai.
”Wait, wait,” Jiang Huai was a little flustered, “There’s bleeding.”
Lu Wusui no longer has any temper.
”But it doesn’t matter,” Jiang Huai quickly calmed down and said seriously, “The doctor said that this is venous blood and it won’t kill people.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
”Jiang Huai.” Lu Wusui suddenly called him.
Jiang Huai opened his eyes slightly and looked at him curiously.
Lu Wusui said: “It would be a waste of your talent if you don’t become a doctor.”
As he expected, after he said this, the light on Jiang Huai’s face visibly shone, revealing a shy smile.
…If this is his employee.
Lu Wusui thought expressionlessly that if this were his employee, he would pay a large sum of money to “ask” him out of the company on his first day at work.
But unfortunately, this was his legal partner.
*
Under Jiang Huai’s “careful care”, Lu Wusui “recovered” the next day.
Jianghuai feels a great sense of accomplishment for this.
But he seemed to have forgotten something.
The agreement that Lu Wusui mentioned was not sent to his mobile phone on time the next day.
Jiang Huai asked, and Lu Wusui said, “There is something I need to confirm, so the content of the agreement needs to be increased.”
”Oh,” Jiang Huai had no objection to this, “then you add it.”
Lu Wusui was a little surprised to see his indifferent reaction.
He put down the cutlery in his hands and asked casually, “Others would have been unhappy if they heard that additional conditions were added to the signing of an agreement. Why do you look so… calm?”
Jiang Huai blinked.
In his previous life, it was a luxury for him to have his own privacy, but in the Lu family, his bedroom was not only twice as big as that in the Jiang family, but no one would easily enter his room.
He felt quite satisfied, but judging from Lu Wusui’s expression… the normal reaction should be to protest?
”I’m not… ah,” Jiang Huai stuttered a little, “Then you are not allowed to add conditions.”
”Oh,” Lu Wusui lowered his head and said calmly, “The protest is invalid.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
*
Even until Jiang Huai went to school, he still didn’t think of his lake grass.
As soon as he left, Lu Wusui went to the Lu family’s old house.
The old lady needs to rest, and the news of her illness has not spread, so there are not many people around the old house.
When Lu Wusui arrived, the doctor was waiting for him in the hall.
He asked, “How is the old lady?”
”The situation is a little… not good,” the doctor said after organizing his words. “As you know, the elderly will always have a lot of physical problems as they age. If you don’t pay attention, all kinds of problems will arise.”
Lu wusui listened patiently, and then said: “I don’t care what kind of illness it is, it is your duty to take good care of her, but you have obviously failed in your duty now.”
No one dared to bear Lu Wusui’s anger.
The doctor no longer looked as if he was joking yesterday. He lowered his head and said, “Mr. Lu, there are some things that even doctors can’t do anything about.”
Lu Wusui paused.
He calmed down his emotions and asked in a deep voice, “Does the old lady’s health allow visits?”
After getting the doctor’s nod, Lu Wusui went straight to the old lady’s room.
In the room, Lu Rumei looked a little haggard.
The grandparents and grandchildren fell ill on the same day, and both looked unhappy. After seeing Lu Wusui, Lu Rumei was a little worried, “What happened to you?”
Lu Wusui said, “I just came back from a business trip, I’m a little tired.”
Lu Rumei was silent for a moment.
She sighed and said, “I am sorry to trouble you with these matters of the Lu family. If you had ignored the Lu family, you could have developed well…”
”Grandma, there’s no need for us to talk about this as a family.” Lu Wusui interrupted her.
After his mother passed away, it was Lu Rumei who took care of him.
Grandparents and grandchildren in ordinary families may not have the same good relationship as they do, because Lu Wusui was raised by Lu Rumei.
Lu Rumei has always been aware of how chaotic these relatives of the Lu family are.
However, in such a chaotic situation, Lu Wusui single-handedly supported the entire family, reversed the downward trend and turned the tide.
Therefore, she has always felt grateful and guilty towards Lu Wusui.
Lu Rumei said: “Okay, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about something else.”
She remembered something, “Where’s Xiao Huai? Why didn’t he come with you?”
”He still has classes,” Lu Wusui said, “I didn’t have time to tell him about your illness.”
Lu Rumei nodded, “It’s good to have classes, students just need to study hard.”
Lu Wusui thought about Jiang Huai’s appearance.
Study hard? I’m afraid that’s a bit hard. Can he understand what the teacher is saying?
Lu Rumei observed his expression, a smile flashed across her face, and she said softly, “You have received the certificate, have you decided when to hold the wedding?”
”This…” Lu Wusui hesitated a little, “Let’s talk about it later.”
In fact, he felt that there was no need to do it.
It is hard to say how long his marriage with Jiang Huai can last.
The original plan was to use the wedding to tell others that the Lu and Jiang families were getting married, but what they didn’t expect was that a few days after they got the marriage certificate, the Jiang family had already quickly spread the news.
”How can we talk about this later?” The smile on Lu Rumei’s face disappeared. “Have you discussed it with Xiao Huai?”
Discuss with him?
I guess after discussing it with him, I’ll just get a “OK” from him.
Lu Rumei sighed.
”Wu Sui, you don’t really think that marriage is a simple matter, do you?” She said, “Originally I didn’t want to interfere, but you have been married for so many days and you still sleep in separate rooms…”
”Can you let me hold my grandson before I close my eyes?”
Lu Wusui was not surprised that she knew this.
When the Jiang family went there before, Jiang Huai’s brother already knew about it. With Lu Rumei’s methods, it is impossible for her not to know about it.
But even if he doesn’t sleep in a separate room from Jiang Huai, it has nothing to do with her having a grandchild, right?
Lu Wusui wanted to say something, but Lu Rumei’s expression became a little strange.
She waved her hand and cleared her cough. At this moment, the doctor pushed the door open and told Lu Wusui, “That’s all the time we have today. The old lady can’t take it anymore.”
Lu Wusui glanced at Lu Rumei.
He took a deep breath and walked out the door.
*
In the evening, when Jiang Huai returned home, he was again instructed to “take care of” Lu Wusui.
Lu Wusui still needs an injection.
Jiang Huai said: “I am happy to help you, but I need to finish my manuscript at night. Can you accept someone drawing by your bed?”
Lu Wusui imagined the scene.
…It’s a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
