Zhuang Li pulled aside the bed curtains and walked over to Si Ming. He squatted down, placed his hands on his knees, tilted his head and looked at him, repeating, "I really don't want to be friends with you at all."
Si Ming stared at the little curly-haired boy blankly, then closed his eyes in despair and buried his head in his arms.
At this moment, Zhuang Li held his face, put his face close to his, nose to nose, and ordered him forcefully: "Open your eyes and look at me carefully!"
Si Ming was forced to open his eyes and looked at the other person with red eyes.
Even though he knew that this person was holding a sharp knife in his hand, about to cut his completely open heart, he had no way to refuse. He just wanted to listen to him, whether it was happiness or pain, as long as it was given by the little curly-haired boy, he would accept it all.
Zhuang Li stared into those eyes soaked in tears and despair, and said carefully and slowly, "Listen carefully, I will only say this once. I don't want to be friends with you, because I like you and want to be with you forever, to be your lover, to be your partner, to spend this life together, and then the next, and then forever. I've known for a long time that you have ALS, but I don't care."
Si Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked across in shock and disbelief.
"You, what did you say?" he asked tremblingly.
Zhuang Li did not respond at all. He took out a wet tissue from his pocket, unwrapped it, folded it into a small square, and carefully wiped his lover's face, first the sweaty forehead, then the tear-stained eyes, and finally the tip of the nose with snot hanging.
He wiped the pair of thin lips that were pale blue due to pain and despair over and over again, and then wiped them back and forth with his fingertips, and then he suddenly leaned over and kissed her fiercely.
Si Ming: “!!!”
Zhong Xingyun: “!!!”
School doctor: "Ahem! I'll go out and guard the door!"
No matter how much disbelief, no matter how much pain and despair, no matter how helpless and confused, all disappeared in this extremely passionate kiss.
Zhuang Li held his lover's face, gently brushed his hot ears, then pressed the back of his head, deepening the kiss and conveying all his inner firm love to him.
Finally, he bit the tip of his lover's tongue with his canine teeth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts." Si Ming nodded blankly, but his hands were tightly holding the little curly-haired boy's slender waist, fearing that he would pull away.
"If it hurts, it's not a dream." Zhuang Li rubbed his lover's head.
Si Ming was stunned for a long moment before he broke into a silly grin. This really wasn't a dream! His wish had come true!
From hell to heaven, it only takes a moment.
Seeing his cute smile, Zhuang Li couldn't help but kiss his cheek.
Si Ming tilted his head and offered his lips to her, learning French kissing without any instruction. He held the little curly-haired girl tightly with his left hand, like a drowning man holding a piece of driftwood.
It seems that his body is not out of control, but has its own ideas.
Zhuang Li inserted five fingers into Si Ming's completely unconscious right hand, interlocked his fingers with his, and pressed them tightly against his chest, guiding him step by step: "What is our relationship now?"
"They are in a relationship." Si Ming's ears turned red and his voice trembled.
"If I had ALS, would you dislike it?"
"How is that possible! I will take care of you forever!"
"So I feel the same way. I will take care of you for the rest of my life. I don't dislike you at all."
Si Ming: "..." His eyes turned red again. The huge emotion and strong happiness overwhelmed his reason like a flood, making him lose the ability to express himself.
Zhuang Li held his head, kissed his forehead gently, and continued to induce: "Do you believe what I say?"
"believe."
"I will cure your disease and let you live like a normal person. Do you believe it?"
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment and then nodded vigorously: "I believe it."
"Good boy." Zhuang Li smiled contentedly, slowly stroking his lover's cheek before revealing his schedule: "So starting tomorrow, I won't be able to come to school. I have to save you, I have to develop a drug to repair your genes, and I have to spend 24 hours in the lab. My time is your life, do you understand?"
Si Ming was stunned, his crimson ears quickly turned pale, and the fear of being abandoned immediately surged from the bottom of his heart.
Zhuang Li lowered her head and kissed his thin lips, easily brushing off her fears. "But you can come to the lab to see me anytime. In fact, I need you to cooperate with me in doing some physical examinations. Here's the lab address, remember it. If you miss me, come and see me, but the prerequisite is that you must study hard."
He put the note with the address on it into his lover's hand.
Si Ming immediately clenched the note and swore, "I will visit you every day."
"Bring your exercise books and notebooks with you when you go, and I will find time to help you with your studies." Zhuang Li added at the right time.
Si Ming, filled with joy: "..."
"Puff!" Zhong Xingyun was amused. Seeing Young Master Si glaring at him coldly, he immediately turned around and waved, "You guys chat, you guys chat, I'm going out first."
Zhuang Li was most concerned about Young Master Si's academic performance. Just based on this, Zhong Xingyun was willing to believe that he wasn't a bad person. As for the genetic drugs he mentioned, it was just for fun and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Mr. Si has searched for the best doctors in the world, but none of them can guarantee a cure for Si Ming. Zhuang Li is only seventeen years old, so what can he do?
Zhong Xingyun shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the infirmary, but found that the school doctor had hidden somewhere. A familiar figure flashed into the opposite corner, as if he had been eavesdropping outside the window just now.
"Xiu Yue?" Zhong Xingyun raised his eyebrows in surprise, but didn't take this episode to heart at all.
To put it bluntly, Si Ming was so ill, his days were numbered, who would bother him with the fact that he fell in love with a man? Even if Xiu Yue knew, it didn't matter; the Si family didn't care.
---
After comforting his lover, Zhuang Li rushed to the laboratory with peace of mind.
Si Ming originally wanted to send the person there personally, but when he arrived at the school gate, he found that there were already several cars parked on the roadside waiting. Several strong men in black got out of the leading car, surrounded the little curly-haired boy in the middle, vigilantly observed the surrounding environment, then quickly invited the person into the back seat, opened the door and left.
The remaining cars were either leading the way or following behind, with several cars surrounding them on both sides, completely isolating them from approaching unfamiliar vehicles.
They left in a grand procession, their movement even more exaggerated than that of the richest man's trip.
Si Ming was filled with reluctance and didn't think much about it, but Zhong Xingyun vaguely realized something and his heart began to beat rapidly.
"Young Master Si, where is the address that Zhuang Li gave you? Let me see it." He spread out his palm.
Si Ming handed the note over absentmindedly.
Zhong Xingyun took a photo of the note and sent it to Mr. Si.
Less than two seconds later, Mr. Si called and asked in a surprised tone, "Who gave you this address?"
Zhong Xingyun walked aside and reported in detail everything that happened today.
Old Master Si was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he suppressed his excitement and ordered, "Don't interfere in their affairs. Let them develop freely. This may be Xiao Ming's last hope!"
"Is this true?" Zhong Xingyun was shocked.
Mr. Si is well-connected and he wouldn't say such things for no reason.
"Do you know Area 51 in the United States?" Mr. Si asked instead of answering.
"I know." Zhong Xingyun was full of questions.
"The address on the note is Area 51 in China. If Xiao Ming can freely access this address to visit Zhuang Li in the future, you should understand the implications, right?"
"Understand, understand! Old man, I understand! I didn't hinder their development at all. I even assisted them. Don't worry! Okay, okay, I get it. I won't say anything nonsense. Okay, okay, I'll send the young master to visit Zhuang Li tomorrow. I'll call you if I have any news."
Zhong Xingyun hung up the phone amid the old man's endless instructions, lowered his head to look at the note in his palm, and couldn't help revealing a look of awe.
If the young master really could enter and leave Area 51 freely, then how high must Zhuang Li's authority be in Area 51? He's just a family member...
Zhong Xingyun knocked his head and didn't dare to think any further.

The next day, Si Ming got up early, stuffed a thick photo album into his schoolbag, tiptoed down the stairs, walked around the living room, and wanted to go to the garage, but was stopped by a majestic voice: "What are you doing sneaking around?"
Si Ming froze immediately.
"Go see your boyfriend?" Old Master Si, who had already been sitting in the restaurant reading a newspaper, waved him off unhappily. "Come over and have breakfast first!"
"Grandpa, won't you scold me?" Si Ming was extremely surprised.
"I just want you to be happy." Mr. Si patted the table and said, "Eat, and bring some back for your boyfriend after you're done."
After hearing the last sentence, Si Ming immediately ran into the dining room and anxiously ordered the cook, "I'll just have a bowl of porridge. Make another serving of fried dumplings with leeks and pork filling. Fry them until crispy on one side and no oil on the other. They should be crispy yet soft. Also prepare a dish of aged vinegar and add two drops of garlic juice."
The chef agreed with a smile.
Mr. Si jokingly said, "You know him quite well."
"I know what he likes." Si Ming grinned foolishly.
Seeing his eyes sparkling with joy, Mr. Si was also very happy. The atmosphere in the Si family had not been so lively for a long time.
After seeing his grandson off, Mr. Si slowly walked into the living room, folded his hands to hold down a dragon-headed cane, sat upright on the sofa, his gloomy eyes looking towards a certain direction in the void, wondering what he was thinking.
He sat there stiffly for more than an hour, and finally the call he was waiting for came.
Zhong Xingyun whispered like a thief, "Old man, I'm on my way back. The young master went in. The guards at the gate were all special forces, and there were electric fences on the walls. When I drove over, there were several guns pointed at my head in the watchtower. I was almost scared to death! Zhuang Li came to pick up the young master in person. He was wearing a white coat and was accompanied by two guards. Now I finally understand why those nine families didn't dare to cause trouble for Zhuang Li. His background is more powerful than anyone else."
"Okay, I got it. Come back." After Mr. Si hung up the phone, his straight back suddenly collapsed. Two lines of turbid tears slowly slid down his old cheeks, but he laughed heartily.
My grandson is really successful. He found such a boyfriend without saying anything!
At the same time, Zhuang Li was eating breakfast while looking through the photo album brought by Si Ming.
"Is this you when you were a child? So cute." He praised, but his eyes fell on the plants behind the child. The smile on the corner of his mouth did not show in his eyes at all.
He flipped through many photos and asked, "Why do you have so many cycads planted at home?"
Cycad, commonly known as iron tree, is a very popular landscape plant.
"I don't know either. The landscaping at home is done by the gardener." Si Ming had not noticed any problems yet.
Zhuang Li pointed at the backgrounds of the two photos and continued to ask, "This is the Xiu family, and this is the Si family, right?"
"Yes." Si Ming nodded.
"Both of their gardens are filled with cycads. Whose idea was that?"
"I don't know." Si Ming scratched the back of his head.
Zhuang Li frowned and asked, "Have you and your mother done any genetic testing? Have you found the gene that causes ALS?"
"I did, but found nothing." Si Ming shook his head.
"Then you should do another genetic test now, and I will take you to the infirmary." Zhuang Li stood up and gave instructions quickly.
Although Si Ming was full of doubts, he still obediently entered the physical examination room.
While waiting for the results outside, Zhuang Li sneered at 7480 and said, "Just pray that Si Ming's illness has nothing to do with the Child of Destiny, otherwise I will make his death worse than anyone else's."
7480: “…”
What the hell did I do to offend anyone? I am your sweetheart now!
