Chapter 199 His hand had an old injury

Lu Jiunian's pale, dry lips moved slightly. "You have a good temper and a kind heart. I not only like you, but I only love you."

Shi Nianzhi maintained his slightly leaning posture, and he stiffened slightly.

The next second, a hand wrapped around his waist before he could even react.

His thin lips, slightly tingling, descended upon her. Lu Jiunian held Shi Nianzhi in his arms as if he were a spring of sweet water, his kiss so intense.

His posture was extremely domineering, leaving no room for escape.

That bastard Lu Jiunian, he's just pretending to be this weak, isn't he?

Before he could even get angry, Lu Jiunian suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Shi Nianzhi suddenly grabbed him around the waist and supported him, "You—"

Lu Jiunian fainted.

Shi Nianzhi had just noticed that his breathing was very hot, and when she touched his forehead, sure enough, it was burning hot.

The high fever has returned.

The doctor rushed over again and, before leaving, instructed, "You must rest in bed as much as possible, avoid strenuous exercise, and drink plenty of hot water."

Shi Nianzhi looked at Lu Jiunian, who appeared fragile on the hospital bed, his eyes deep and serious.

Lu Jiunian didn't wake up until the next day.

He opened his eyes, but Shi Nianzhi was not by the bedside.

He went downstairs, and a butler told him, "Young Master Gu has gone to the company. You can stay home and rest today."

After the butler finished speaking, he glanced outside and then beckoned a servant over.

"Tell the gardeners outside that they don't need to come to work for a while."

"But the grass has grown too tall, it's time to cut it down."

"Young Master Gu instructed that once Bodyguard Lu recovers, he will be in charge of all the flowers and plants in the yard."

"Oh well."

......

After having breakfast, Lu Jiunian went straight to the housekeeper and asked, "Where are all the machines located?"

What are you going to do?

"Moving the lawn, watering the flowers, pruning the branches."

"Young Master Gu said you should get some rest."

"I'm all better now, just tell me where you are."

The butler couldn't persuade Lu Jiunian otherwise, so he told him where the warehouse was.

Lu Jiunian spent the entire morning mowing the lawn and trimming tree branches.

In the afternoon, he watered the plants, cleaned the pool in the backyard, fed the koi in the stream, and cleaned the rockery.

Then I applied some fertilizer to a few wilted flowers.

Actually, he didn't have any special skills to do these things; he relied entirely on his usually high intelligence and his slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. After completing the whole process, at least no one could find any mistakes.

His trousers were covered in dust, and his hands were covered in mud.

The clothes I wore out neatly were wrinkled and dirty when I came back, especially the white shirt, which was splattered with green grass juice and other dirty colors, I don’t know where it came from.

Aside from his excessively handsome face, he looked rather disheveled overall.

As soon as he entered the room, he was about to wash his hands.

Lu Jiunian saw Shi Nianzhi sitting on the sofa drinking coffee with a very handsome young man. They seemed to have a lot to talk about, and even from a distance, Lu Jiunian could feel the cheerful atmosphere in the air.

The young man's eyes and brows looked gentle and non-aggressive; he was simply beautiful.

He's handsome at first glance, and the more you look at him, the more you see his gentle and refined beauty. Even though his clothes are cheap, they can't hide his good looks.

The young man's smile faded when he saw Lu Jiunian. He put down his coffee cup and asked, "This is?"

“My servant is a gardener from the countryside who is not very educated.”

"She is very good-looking."

Shi Nianzhi lazily reclined on the sofa, took a sip of coffee upon hearing this, and said languidly, "Right? If he weren't good-looking, he wouldn't be working as a gardener here. Wenxi, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen make it."

Wen Xi smiled. "Oh, I'm not a picky eater. It's just that your gardener is always watching me. Let me introduce myself to him."

Wen Xi stood up from the sofa and nodded slightly to Lu Jiunian. "I am Wen Xi, Shi Nianzhi's classmate."

His manners were impeccable.

Shi Nianzhi glanced at Lu Jiunian and said with a rather disdainful tone, "How did you get so dirty? Next time, clean it outside before coming in. You can't afford to pay for the carpet if you dirty it."

Shi Nianzhi handed the snacks to Wen Xi, "Don't stand there, he's not the host. Sit down. Where were we?"

"That cemetery in City B."

Do we have any spots available?

"There's only one, and if you're going, it should be you."

“I can’t go, but you have a great talent for this, so you can go.”

"I'm not going."

"Why, aren't you interested?"

Wen Xi chuckled. "I need to make money, I don't have time to go. Anyway, it happens every year, so it's the same no matter which year I go. Don't ask me to help you or anything like that. I'm a man, I'm not missing any limbs. I can manage on my own, I don't need anyone's help. Besides..."

Wen Xi picked up her coffee, and that person appeared in her eyes, but was quickly buried by them again.

Shi Nianzhi asked, "And what else?"

"It's nothing, it's all in the past, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

......

They were chatting so happily that Lu Jiunian felt completely superfluous standing there.

He was seething with jealousy.

Then he suddenly collapsed and fell onto the carpet.

Shi Nianzhi stood up, cursing, "I just replaced the carpet! I told you to be careful, but you just had to do the opposite of what I said."

Lu Jiunian felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. It turned out that in Shi Nianzhi's eyes, he was not even as valuable as a carpet.

But soon, a warm hand was placed on his forehead.

Then he was picked up and said, "You still have a slight fever, butler!"

"Young Master Gu!"

The butler came running over.

Shi Nianzhi carried Lu Jiunian upstairs, scolding the housekeeper as they went, "I told him to rest properly! With so many of you, how could you not keep an eye on him? What use are you to me?!"

The butler, though reprimanded, dared not argue back and remained silent, saying, "I'm sorry, Young Master Gu, it won't happen again."

"Go and fetch a doctor."

Lu Jiunian pretended to faint and was placed on the bed by Shi Nianzhi.

After a while, Shi Nianzhi took a damp towel and gently wiped the mud off his fingers, so carefully and meticulously, as if she had done it countless times before.

Shi Nianzhi didn't say a word, but she took good care of Lu Jiunian, changing him into clean clothes and covering him with a blanket.

They also placed a damp towel on Lu Jiunian's forehead.

The doctor arrived quickly and took Lu Jiunian's temperature twice with an electronic thermometer. "He has no fever. I don't recommend IV drips for a cold. Tell him to take the prescribed medicine on time. Drink plenty of water, and he'll be fine in a few days."

"But his forehead was very hot when I touched it, and he didn't have a fever, so why did he faint?"

What was he doing before he fainted?

"Watering flowers outside, or something like that."

"The outside temperature is high, and there's a temperature difference between inside and outside, which can cause errors in feel. As for dizziness, it's probably because you're tired; you should rest more if you have a cold."

The doctor left.

Shi Nianzhi looked at Lu Jiunian on the hospital bed, then placed his hand on Lu Jiunian's forehead and touched it again. Afterwards, he covered Lu Jiunian with the blanket and turned off the light.

He went downstairs.

Lu Jiunian opened his eyes in the darkness.

Actually, Shi Nianzhi is all bark and no bite; deep down, he still cares about him a lot.

Lu Jiunian did not intend to pretend to be unconscious for long. He was absolutely worried about Shi Nianzhi and Wen Xi being alone together for too long. He was not only worried about Wen Xi, but also about Shi Nianzhi!

If he gets kidnapped, where will he go to cry?

After dinner, Wenxi and Shi Nianzhi went for a walk together, and Lu Jiunian squeezed in between them to follow them.

Shi Nianzhi said coldly, "You have a cold, you should rest at home."

"The evening breeze is refreshing now; going for a walk will help with a cold."

When Lu Jiunian was awake, Shi Nianzhi treated him very badly.

So even though there was concern in her eyes, she still said, "Whatever."

Lu Jiunian stood between Shi Nianzhi and Wen Xi, making it impossible for them to have anything to talk about without Lu Jiunian standing between them.

Shi Nian, having reached her limit, shouted, "Either come to my side or to the back, don't walk in the middle of us. We're talking about professional knowledge, which you can't understand!"

Lu Jiunian and Shi Nianzhi walked slowly along the asphalt road in the villa area, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Hearing this, he looked at Shi Nianzhi innocently, "But I want to study. I want to study everything you're interested in. That way, you won't leave me out."

Wen Xi chuckled lightly, "Your gardener is quite unique."

Shi Nianzhi snorted coldly.

Wen Xi didn't try to hide anything, "You two like each other, why make it so awkward?"

Before Shi Nianzhi could even finish asking who liked him, he saw Lu Bing's car driving towards them, and he frowned deeply.

Three cars were parked on the side of the road, and Lu Bing and a dozen bodyguards got out.

"What do you want? My phone has no signal."

Lu Bing's voice sounded quite amiable. "I have a signal jammer in my car, but don't worry, I'm not here for any other reason than to take Lu Jiunian away."

Where are you taking him?

"I can't disclose that."

Lu Bing made a gesture, and a dozen tall, strong bodyguards behind him instantly surrounded Shi Nianzhi and his group.

Shi Nianzhi sneered disdainfully, shielding Lu Jiunian behind her. "Lu Jiunian is already mine. You want to take him away? Fine, you'll have to get over my dead body first."

Lu Bing's playful voice said, "Then I won't hold back. Take it easy. If he doesn't die, it's up to you. I've turned off the surveillance cameras here. Even if the police come, there are so many of them beating him together, what's there to be afraid of? Oh, he has an old injury on his hand, so focus your attacks on his hand."

Shi Nianzhi's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes instantly turned fierce. "I think you're courting death!"

"Looking for death? Going against me is the real suicide. What are you standing there for? Let's teach Young Master Gu a lesson, let him know who's in charge in the capital now, and whether he has the right to be so presumptuous!"

Lu Bing coldly exchanged a glance with Lu Jiunian, then spoke in an arrogant voice that completely disregarded Lu Jiunian.
