Chapter 8

When they got home, they saw Lu Yichuan lying on the sofa, with his back to them, waving his hand and greeting them. Turning around, they saw Shi Yu following Yun Linai closely, holding several large bags, his face hidden. They laughed a little: "A short-legged cat asking its owner for cat food?"

This was indirectly saying that Shi Yu was short, and he immediately got angry: "You are the short one."

The short-legged cat ran into the room with a few large bags and didn't come out. Lu Yichuang no longer had the heart to tease it, so he lay back on the sofa.

Yun Linai walked over to the sofa, threw a pillow at him, and asked him, "What are you doing here this time?"

Lu Yichuan looked at him in confusion and said as a matter of course, "Of course it's for free meals."

He lay slouched in the middle of the living room sofa, looking depressed. "Why are there so many more tasks assigned this year? They really don't treat us as human beings."

Just on the way, Yun Lin'ai received a notice of a mission tomorrow. This time the destination is farther away, and it will probably take a long time for him to return.

At this moment, Lu Yichuang was still sad because he would not be able to see Jiang Kuo for a long time.

"Every mission makes you feel so uncomfortable." Yun Lin'ai couldn't help but mock him.

"I've eaten the love bug, there's no way I can be saved." Lu Yichuang tried to play it off, without any of the airs he would put on in the league.

Yun Lin'ai was used to the other party's casualness in front of him. Lu Yichuang had known him as early as high school. Although their personalities were very different, they always thought alike on some things. Sometimes they didn't need words to perform tasks. A look or a gesture could make them understand each other's thoughts. It was from that time that he started to eat at Yun Lin'ai's house every day, and as time went by, he has been doing so until now.

"You should be thankful that the virus hasn't spread here." Yun Lin'ai put down the newspaper he hadn't had time to read today. The headline on it read in large letters: A new type of virus has appeared in a certain area.

"Don't be such a pessimist, otherwise I'll be heartbroken, Dr. Jiang." Lu Yichuang gave him a warning look, and took a sip of the tea he had bought at a high price with his newly bought tea set under Yun Lin'ai's dissatisfied gaze.

Two years ago, Jiang Kuo was hired as a surgeon in the military hospital after returning from studying abroad. He was often transferred to the second team to serve as a battlefield doctor, and his work started on a monthly basis. It was also during the period when the two teams were performing tasks together that Lu Yichuang suffered a minor injury. As a result, he fell in love with the beta doctor in the other team. The minor injury was not cured for a month, and he ran to him every day to shamelessly ask for treatment and bandaging.

When he was leaving, he kept looking back, not to mention how reluctant he was to leave. As a result, everyone in the two teams knew that Lu Yichuang liked Jiang Kuo, but Jiang Kuo's feelings for him had always been lukewarm, as if he was the same towards everyone. This was the first time that the lovable Lieutenant Lu felt frustrated, but the other party just made him like him, and no matter how others tried to persuade him, it was useless. Even now, a year has passed and he still hasn't won the girl over.

It can be said that the more defeats one suffers, the braver one becomes.

"This tea is so delicious, why don't you like it?" In order to come to Yun Lin'ai's house for dinner, Lu Yichuang specially bought a set of tea table and tea sets and placed them in the living room. Sometimes he would bring a few more sets with him. He was the only one who used these at home, and Yun Lin'ai had never touched them once.

"Too bitter." Yun Lin'ai always commented like this.

Lu Yichuan always worries about this, "It would be nice if I had a drink companion."

This reminded him of when he took tea leaves to Jiang Kuo and asked him to give him a chance to taste the fragrance of tea together. Who knew that the other party not only didn't even look at him, but also pushed him out of the house with a pale face. He had to squat outside the door for a long time before he heard the words "Don't come to my house next time" on the electronic screen at the door.

Having suffered his fifth setback, Lu Yichuang was now dejected and seeking comfort from Yunlin Ai's family. The other party was unwilling to even look at him and his words were particularly hurtful.

"Go find your companions in the tea room, not here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yichuang's companion arrived.

Shi Yu packed his clothes and ran out to get a glass of water. He was still mad at Lu Yichuang, so he deliberately stepped hard and went straight to the kitchen across the living room. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of the tea set on the table that Yun Lin'ai had never touched. He stopped abruptly, looked down at the cold water in his hand, and felt sad.

It turns out that Yun Lin'ai is pretending in front of me. He makes tea for his good friends when they come, but I don't even give them tea at home. Boiled water gets stuck in my teeth every day.

Yun Lin'ai didn't know what he was thinking as he stood there. He stared at the water in his hand with a serious face, until Lu Yichuan followed his gaze. His sadness instantly turned into joy, "The short-legged cat is here!"

Just when Shi Yu was about to lose his temper, he raised the teacup in his hand expectantly and asked, "Have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Shi Yu's mind moved slightly and he subconsciously looked at Yun Lin'ai, wanting to seek his consent, but Lu Yichuan seemed to know what he was thinking. "Why look at his expression? Come here."

Although the last sentence was spoken to Shi Yu in a slightly commanding tone, Yun Lin'ai looked unhappy when he heard it, and his brows were furrowed, making Shi Yu mistakenly think that he was an eyesore.

I was so hesitant that I didn't know where to sit.

"I was scared like this in your house, and you are abusing me?" Lu Yichuang completely misunderstood what he meant. Yun Lin's stubbornness made him unwilling to pay attention to the nonsense he said. In the past, he would have left long ago, but he just sat on the sofa.

After hearing this, Shi Yu quickly waved his hands and explained, "He didn't abuse me, don't talk nonsense."

The waving motion is like Doraemon, and the standing position is like a humanoid.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come and try my new tea. Yun Lin'ai is not blessed and doesn't deserve to drink it." Lu Yichuang waved his hand, and Shi Yu sat over with shining eyes. Yun Lin'ai snorted in disdain from his nose, not loud but loud enough for Shi Yu to hear clearly.

However, Shi Yu, who was tired of drinking plain water, didn't care about the meaning of the laugh. His eyes shone brightly as if he was reading a medical book, and he patiently appreciated Lu Yichuang's tea-making skills.

However, something went wrong, and the boiling water spilled directly onto Lu Yichuang's palm, leaving a large red mark. He didn't care at all and asked Shi Yu to taste the tea, his hands trembling behind his back.

"How about it?"

Shi Yu held the teacup with both hands, squinting his eyes as he drank, "It tastes good."

Lu Yichuan proudly raised his invisible tail towards Yun Linai, "Look, everyone says it tastes good!"

Yun Lin'ai saw that Shi Yu was drinking so happily that he rarely said anything. The Omega moved from the sofa to the carpet to drink tea, with the back of his neck facing him, and his hair that was long enough to his shoulders and neck only covered a little of his glands. So from Yun Lin'ai's position, it was easy to smell the clear and moving scent of snow lotus. The match was so high that even if the other party did not release pheromones, he could smell it. Yun Lin'ai could never ignore this point.

But this time he didn't move away from the other person quickly. It was just because the doctor said that the patient was emotionally unstable that he suddenly restrained himself at this moment.

Shi Yu drank five small cups in a row, and was obviously still not satisfied. He held up the empty cup and wanted to ask Lu Yichuang to pour him another cup. This scene was caught by Dr. Qin, who had just finished get off work and came to examine Shi Yu on time.

"Who gave him such strong tea?" Although Qin Yue asked the question, his eyes were fixed on Lu Yichuang.

On the other hand, Lu Yichuan straightened his neck openly and said, "I gave it to him. Doctor Qin, would you like to have a drink too?"

Qin Yue took a deep breath and didn't get angry. He had no expression on his face when he took off his coat. Under Yun Lin'ai's light eyes, he sat down next to Lu Yichuang. He first drank a cup of tea to cool down, and finally spoke slowly in a very calm tone.

"Drinking tea in moderation is good for the body, but it is not recommended for people with stomach problems to consume too much."

The other three people present were all stunned. Lu Yichuan was completely bewildered. "Who has stomach problems?"

Yun Linai's expression suddenly turned grim. He snatched the empty cup from Shi Yu's hand and listened to Qin Yue continue, "Drinking a lot of tea will increase the burden on your stomach and intestines, and may even cause symptoms such as increased heart rate and blood dilution."

There might be some exaggeration in the other party's words, but Lu Yichuan, the only one present who knew nothing about medicine, stood up suddenly. Seeing Shi Yuru looking at the fragile kitten about to faint, he said, "Don't worry about your stomachache first - I'll drive you to the hospital!"

Yun Lin'ai looked at him as if he was a fool. Shi Yu was not very clear about gastroenterology diseases. Although he had learned it before, he had almost forgotten it. What Qin Yue said almost made him want to borrow Yun Lin'ai's computer to verify whether it was true.

Qin Yue tugged at Lu Yichuan and said, "Alright, I'm just teasing you. It's nothing serious since he just drank today. Just be careful next time."

Only then did Lu Yichuang realize that he must have been fooled. He even lost the mood to invite people for tea and his face was filled with worry.

Twenty minutes ago he had a companion to drink tea with, and twenty minutes later he had no companion again.

Qin Yue turned his head to look at Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu, and sighed, "If you feel uncomfortable tonight, please tell me immediately."

Shi Yu nodded blankly and said dully, "Yes."

In fact, it was not just Lu Yichuang. Yun Lin'ai also cared about what Qin Yue said, so when night fell, he finished his work in the study and rarely went back to the bedroom immediately.

Instead, he stood outside the study for a while, his eyes passing over the closed door next door, and pretended to go to the kitchen to get some water. When he came back, he noticed that the light coming through the gap under the door of the guest room had dimmed at this moment, so he must have gone to bed.

Yun Lin'ai turned around and returned to his room.

However, it still proved what Qin Yue said. Shi Yu had not fallen asleep since turning off the lights. Tea contains caffeine, and after a few cups, his heartbeat really accelerated. He couldn't even lie down, and tossed and turned many times. He couldn't get rid of insomnia every night, and this time it was even worse. Even though he had consumed so much energy when saving people during the day, he still kept his eyes open until the early morning.

Finally, he walked out of the room dazed with a pale face. After taking a few steps, he seemed to realize that it was early morning. It would not be good to disturb Dr. Qin's sleep, so he returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and lay down again. His heart was beating violently, so he could only keep his eyes open and wait until dawn.

Yun Lin'ai also didn't sleep well that night. He woke up inexplicably every once in a while. Even he felt annoyed and didn't know what he was worried about.

But when he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep for the third time, he caught a sound. Almost instantly, he sat up and listened quietly to the movement outside the door. Except for the sound of the door opening and closing, there was no other sound. It might be Qin Yue's room or Aunt Wang getting up at night, but Yun Lin'ai was sure it was Shi Yu's guest room.

So he walked out of the bedroom without thinking. There was only a living room connecting his room and Shi Yu's room. Yun Lin'ai had to go past the study and guest room to go to the kitchen, so he noticed the person lying on the sofa almost at a glance.

The house was originally decorated by Yun Lin'ai, who randomly found a designer. All the assembly was also done by others. He just moved his own things in after the final completion, so he didn't notice the horizontal narrow window design in the living room.

In front of him was a balcony with a half-floor-to-ceiling window. He didn't even want to look at the weed-covered yard outside. The early morning moonlight just happened to shine in through the narrow window, forming a long ray of light. As time passed, his direction kept changing.

Shi Yu had not fallen asleep to begin with. He slowly raised his head after hearing the noise. The collar of his pajamas was tilted, revealing a little of his shoulders and neck. Looking at his face again, it was already pale with a hint of blue. His confused face showed some dullness. He pursed his cracked lips at Yun Lin'ai embarrassedly, looking reluctant and helpless.

"Sorry for waking you." He moved very quietly, but he was still worried about whether he would wake others.

Yun Lin'ai didn't say anything. He walked over to block some of the moonlight and looked at Shi Yu with a complicated look. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The question was very straightforward, and it was clear at a glance that Shi Yu was feeling unwell.

Shi Yu answered his question honestly, "I'm a little nervous."

"Can't sleep?"

Shi Yu was already prepared to be scolded, and nodded with determination. Anyway, he was already weak in his limbs and dizzy, so he couldn't listen to Yun Lin'ai's scolding. Let him do whatever he wanted.

He obediently lowered his head and prepared to be scolded. He waited for a long time but didn't hear the other party's voice. When he looked up, the figure was gone. Shi Yu was stunned for a while in this empty living room and suddenly felt a little scared. Did he just dream?

Just as he was lost in thought, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind him. He immediately covered his chest with his hands, his whole body trembled, and he turned his head stiffly.

Yun Linai was looking at him with a frown at this moment, "Drink some warm water."

Only then did Shi Yu react. He stared at the cup of water handed to him thoughtfully, and finally carefully held it and took a small sip. Under the cover of the cup, he secretly glanced at Yun Lin'ai.

The other person also came out in pajamas. He sat down not far from Shi Yu and pressed a few buttons on the projection screen remote control. A silent movie was projected on the lowered screen. Even though the background music was very low, he didn't want to disturb other people's sleep, so he gave Shi Yu a pair of headphones.

Shi Yu also acquiesced and watched a movie quietly with Yun Lin'ai. Finally, with the background music of the headphones, he finally felt sleepy. He lay down on the sofa in a relaxed manner, and his head was dizzy and entered the dividing line between sleep and wakefulness. Later, under another soothing smell, Shi Yu couldn't resist and leaned his head on a solid place, and fell asleep unknowingly.

One earphone fell to the ground, but no one paid attention, and then the other earphone was taken away.

The world finally fell silent, and his heart beat slowly at this moment, no longer disturbing him.

Yun Lin'ai lowered his head and looked at Shi Yu's hands that were hugging his arms in his sleep. He remembered the other party's hands that were constantly exerting force when he was saving people during the day. He seemed to be sleeping soundly. He just moved a little and was hugged by Shi Yu again without feeling safe. He even rubbed his head against him.

So Yun Lin'ai could only use his other hand to hook one side of the blanket and gently cover the man from head to toe, maintaining that position until he finished watching the entire movie.

At night, the villa is filled with the dim light of garden lights. In the small courtyard with crisscrossed weeds, if you walk along the gravel road, you can see the orange coastline at sunrise behind, which is bright.

Shi Yu didn't open his eyes until noon the next day. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how he got from the living room to the room last night. Then he came out of the bedroom and heard Aunt Wang say that Yun Lin'ai had gone out on a mission and might not be back for a month.

His heartbeat suddenly became dull at that moment, and his chest felt like it was blocked by a hot air that couldn't go up or down.
