Hospital.
Bai You was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, with a needle stuck in the back of his slender hand and an IV drip.
Because of the high fever, his lips were cracked and his brows were furrowed, making him look very uncomfortable.
The man sitting beside the bed, with a gloomy expression, picked up the water cup and used a cotton swab to smear her lips with water.
Perhaps it was because the lips had been dry for too long. Once they came into contact with the moist water, the person on the bed was like a fish that had been exposed to the sun on the shore for a long time and had just returned to the sea. He pursed his lips excitedly and eagerly, trying to get that little bit of moisture into his mouth.
But the moisture only came for a moment and then disappeared. The person lying on the bed lay for a while, but there was still no moisture, so he finally decided to open his eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Yunxiao with a dark face, looking at her gloomily. That look was really a little too sinister.
Bai You had just woken up and was not very clear-headed yet. He just looked at Lu Yunxiao.
Then she thought of what happened yesterday. She remembered that she felt a little uncomfortable when he carried her back from the balcony, but at that time, she was in a bad mood and felt very awkward with him, so even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn't say anything.
She didn't even eat, went to take a shower, and ignored him.
When she lifted the quilt and got into bed, the man stopped her with a gloomy face, and there was unspeakable anger on his gloomy face.
But at that time, her temper was even worse than his. Seeing his ferocious look, she was not afraid, but her anger became even worse.
She didn't remember what they argued about, but she only remembered that when the man was about to force her to go downstairs to eat, she said in an extremely cold voice: "If you push me again, I will consider whether we are suitable to live together."
Such a plain sentence made the man's face turn pale instantly. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was filled with sadness and hurt.
In almost an instant, the man's aura changed.
In the end, he didn't argue with her, nor did he force her. He just looked at her deeply, then turned and left.
The back figure reveals indescribable loneliness and desolation.
But at that time, she was in no mood to care about his emotions. Yu Yan's affairs occupied all her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
She slept like that last night. She was already feeling a little uncomfortable, and when she lay down on the bed, she was completely unconscious.
She has no memory of what happened afterwards, but it is not difficult to guess what happened next.
It was a cold winter with snow falling, and she spent the entire day on the balcony wearing only her cool pajamas.
No rest, no food.
Even a body made of iron wouldn't be able to withstand such a situation, let alone Chu Lanxi, who had been in a vegetative state for three months.
She had a weak constitution to begin with, and she couldn't withstand such a disaster.
She probably slept until midnight and had a fever, and Lu Yunxiao somehow discovered it and sent her to the hospital.
But judging from his expression, this process was probably not a pleasant one.
Fragments of memory began to emerge in her mind. The person who had calmed down finally realized his mistake. The person who was blinded by anger did something outrageous.
Looking at Lu Yunxiao, she pursed her lips tightly. Because of the fever and cold, her voice was a little hoarse and dry. It sounded very unpleasant. However, one could still hear the subtle coquettishness and apology.
"Aren't you helping me moisturize my lips? Why aren't you moving?"
Bai You rarely spoke to others in such a cheesy tone, and he was very humble.
The intention of showing goodwill is obvious.
The man did not accept Bai You's advances. When he heard her coquettish and complaining tone, asking him why he didn't continue to moisturize her lips, he suddenly curled his lips.
Bai You looked at the curve of the corners of his lips and his heart suddenly tightened. It was easy to distinguish between a sneer and a smile.
The curve of his mouth didn't show any smile.
Lu Yunxiao's gaze was fixed directly on Bai You. He looked at her with a very strange and inexplicable look that Bai You couldn't describe.
Bai You felt uneasy when seeing this.
Finally, the man had seen enough and looked away. His slender fingers kept turning the water cup, in which was the cotton swab that he had just used to moisten her lips.
The man's gaze shifted from her face to the quilt. His gaze was cold, his tone was harsh, and there was sarcasm in it.
"How could I dare to make a decision on my own without your consent? If I were to be accused of forcing you, wouldn't you have to consider whether you and I are suitable for each other? The stakes are too high, I can't afford to gamble."
The plain voice became filled with thick sarcasm as he spoke.
Bai You's already pale face turned even paler at this moment. He looked at Lu Yunxiao with great discomfort.
They had been married for almost a year, and while they had their share of sadness and awkwardness, and he had been angry with her before, he had never spoken to her in this tone.
Full of sarcasm.
When Bai You listened, she felt as if a big hand was grabbing her heart tightly, kneading it continuously, and squeezing it until it was deformed.
His appearance still frightened Bai You. She stretched out her fair hands, tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, and whispered, "Lu Yunxiao, don't be like this."
The man glanced at her, his eyes filled with emotions that Bai You still couldn't understand.
She always felt that if such a person wanted to hide his emotions, he must be an expert. She really couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Lu Yunxiao pulled the hem of her dress out of her hand, and his long, bony fingers casually swept it over. In Bai You's eyes, that was... disgust.
His already ugly face became even uglier now.
"I still have some things to do at the company. Since you're awake, I'll ask Aunt Liu to come and take care of you. If you need anything, just tell her directly."
"Lu Yunxiao!"
The aggrieved words did not win the man's slightest sympathy. He stood up and turned away without hesitation. His resolute attitude made Bai You feel as if he was going to walk out of her life.
Could it be true that he was really considering whether they were suitable to continue living together?
In the past, she could tell herself very clearly that as long as he made this request, she would agree without hesitation, turn around and leave without any hesitation.
But now, now... she couldn't bear to leave. During those few months abroad, she realized for the first time how wonderful it was to give her heart to someone and let another person control her joys and sorrows.
Her emotions completely followed his. Her feelings for him were no longer just liking him, but loving him, becoming attached to him. She could no longer just walk away without hesitation. But... he was really leaving, wasn't he?
This realization was like a tide, sweeping over her, making her eyes red with discomfort.
Her nose was sore and itchy. He just left like that, leaving her sick here.
The tears still couldn't hold back and just slid down from her eyes, along the side of her face, and flowed onto the pillow. The white pillow was wet with her tears.
