"What are you looking for?" Tong Lu had only been in the bathroom for a short while when he came out and saw Cheng Ye struggling to sit up. He was almost scared to death again and rushed over to help him.
Until now, the scene of Cheng Ye almost falling under the bed when he just woke up still appears repeatedly in his mind. It can be said to be the psychological shadow of the century.
Feeling the familiar sense of security, Cheng Ye relaxed and let Tong Lu hold her. She rubbed her cheek against his strong chest before saying, "Looking for my phone."
"What do you need a cell phone for?" Cheng Ye works in a design-related job and doesn't need to work in the office. Because he stays at home, he doesn't have a close relationship with his colleagues at the company. Apart from Bai Feiyao and Jian Kang, he doesn't even have any other friends.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hospitalized for such a long time without anyone visiting him.
What was he looking for now? Who was he contacting? What was the relationship? Was it someone he knew?
Tong Lu felt a sour taste on his tongue. If it was Cheng Ye's friend, he would really be jealous. After all, although he had known Cheng Ye for a long time, the two of them had just started to get along with each other.
He was jealous of everyone around Cheng Ye, even things!
Sometimes, Tong Lu couldn't help but want to lock Ye Zi up.
Let his eyes only see himself, let his body only hug himself, let his heart only hold himself.
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Ye noticed that he was in a daze, and poked his chin with his index finger. His clear eyes reflected Tong Lu, who was full of dark thoughts.
Cheng Ye was completely unaware of the "danger" and even praised Tong Lu: "I haven't seen you exercise in more than a week, how come your muscles are still so developed." He pinched his thin arms and legs, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He was not a person who was good at growing muscles, especially after he was injured. He lay in bed all day and night and was fed various nutritional supplements by Tong Lu. After a few days, what protruded was not his abdominal muscles, but a small belly.
Under the quilt, Cheng Ye touched his belly inconspicuously. It was soft and elastic. He quickly withdrew his hand, pretending that he had done nothing.
Tong Lu wanted to laugh, but was afraid of being seen and making him angry, so he forced himself to hold it back.
The expression is distorted and stiff!
Cheng Ye said unhappily, "Should I stay in the hospital for a few more days?"
Tong Lu was even more eager to change the subject than he was, nodding seriously, "Well, it's best to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation. The medical equipment here is complete, and the doctors are on call 24 hours a day, which is more convenient. Why, you don't want to stay here anymore?"
"Not really." The hospital environment is better than my home, with everything provided for me. Isn't this the paradise life I imagined when I was a child and didn't want to go to school?
What's more, now that he is discharged from the hospital, he will definitely not return to his previous home, but living with Tong Lu like this will make many things inconvenient.
"It's you. Can you stay here with me all the time and not go to the company?" After all, I will have to rely on him for food in the future. If he is dragged down by me, then there will be no hope for the rest of his life.
Tong Lu shook his head: "It's okay, their sky-high salaries are not paid in vain."
Cheng Ye asked curiously, "Exorbitant price? How much?"
Tong Lu stretched out his hand and gestured a number.
"Wow—" Cheng Ye took a breath and exclaimed in disbelief, "Does your company still need someone who can draw?"
Tong Lu fixed his gaze on his sparkling eyes and said word by word, "The company is not short of people, but I am short of a partner. The job is to eat and drink every day and be taken care of by me, and the salary is all the income in my bank account."
Cheng Ye's cheeks flushed slightly, and she avoided his burning gaze: "You're just poor."
Tong Lu raised his chin slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
After this period of adjustment, the only awkwardness between him and Cheng Ye completely disappeared, and the two returned to their previous loving and affectionate state. Especially after Cheng Ye knew that he had done so much for her, she even had a compensatory kindness towards Tong Lu, and she wanted to make herself into a dish and feed it to Tong Lu.
Tong Lu was flattered and clung to him like an octopus: "You haven't told me what you're looking for your phone for yet?"
A gloomy glint flashed in Cheng Ye's eyes: "Jian Kang has come to see me. I want to know how strong the other protagonist's conscience is. He almost killed someone, but he acted like nothing happened. He didn't come to see me for such a long time?"
To be honest, Cheng Ye was indeed wrong this time.
Bai Feiyao was not mentally strong enough to avoid seeing him, but he was too mentally fragile to dare to see him at all.
After all, it was he who hooked up with his friend's boyfriend. Although the argument was chaotic and the other two people didn't see clearly or didn't remember it, he knew that it was him who pushed Cheng Ye under the wheel with his own hands.
Now, when Bai Feiyao closes his eyes, he can still accurately recall Cheng Ye's stunned look and the blood that spurted out when the big truck roared towards him.
It's like a nightmare, repeating over and over again.
Bai Feiyao hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
If he hadn't secretly heard that Cheng Ye was getting better, he would have been afraid that his spirit would have collapsed before his body.
But—it’s not much better now.
Bai Feiyao looked like he had suffered a serious illness. His face was haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were dull, and his hair, which he had once carefully cared for, was now a mess like a chicken coop.
He even had no intention of working and would stare blankly at anything he said.
His mind was filled with the image of Cheng Ye lying in a pool of blood, his eyes closed, his face pale, and without a trace of life.
Bai Feiyao didn't dare to face Cheng Ye, but Cheng Ye obviously didn't intend to let him go.
In fact, his attitude towards Bai Feiyao is much more complicated than that towards Jian Kang.
Compared to Jian Kang, Cheng Ye would rather think that the person who "betrayed" him was Bai Feiyao!
"Do you need my help?" Tong Lu took out his charging cell phone from the bedside table and handed it to Cheng Ye, but it was obvious that he didn't want Cheng Ye to continue facing that white lotus.
He knew how much Cheng Ye valued friendship, otherwise he would not have chosen to help Bai Feiyao when he was also very short of money. He would not have tried hard to maintain their friendship when there was only a Somali Strait between him and Bai Feiyao, and even let Bai Feiyao live in his newly bought apartment.
"Not for now." Cheng Ye rolled his eyes, "I don't want to do anything to him. Maybe I just want him to move out of my room and completely out of my life." Maybe he also wants to make him live a life worse than death and experience the feeling of being abandoned before he dies.
"...Anything else?" To be honest, Tong Lu felt that this was not a punishment at all.
Cheng Ye thought about it and shook his head: "Then tell me, what else should I do?" He turned on his phone. Apart from mobile notifications and spam messages, there was no sign that anyone else tried to contact him.
Especially Bai Feiyao, there is no news at all.
The cell phone turned around in Cheng Ye's hand, his eyes drooping: "Tong Lu, Bai Feiyao - there is nothing worth my revenge." He had nothing, even if he wanted to take revenge, he couldn't find a place to start.
Tong Lu sat down next to Cheng Ye, their shoulders touching. "Do you remember that time when Bai Feiyao invited you to dinner and it happened to be a company party, so you just sat at the same table?"
"I remember." Cheng Ye frowned involuntarily. It was not a pleasant memory. After all, Fei Yao did not have a high level of education, and the company he worked for was hard to describe. His colleagues were either ugly or fat, and there was one who looked at him with such a lustful look that it seemed like he could ooze out yellow sticky liquid.
Cheng Ye once suspected that the heads of those people had been soaked in some white liquid for too long and had deteriorated.
"But the company had to work overtime temporarily--" He was left alone to face the meal for thirteen people, and he was at a loss!
Finally, I packed up the food and took it home, eating it with Bai Feiyao for three whole days!
A bowl of beef soup is heated until only the soup of beef soup is left.
"Do you want to know why they have to work overtime?" Tong Lu grabbed his hand.
"?" Cheng Ye sat upright, feeling Tong Lu tickling him, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his forehead.
Tong Lu had just finished a shower, and his slightly messy hair was still damp. Cheng Ye pursed his lips and rubbed his palms hard on the quilt: "They say that men's heads shouldn't be touched. I think that's true. It's just that... it's so hard even when it's wet. It pricks me!"
"..." Cheng Ye's cheeks flushed red as he watched something change. He slapped Tong Lu's thigh hard and said, "What nonsense are you imagining!"
"You can touch anything you want of mine!" Tong Lu suddenly turned into a domineering president, leaned over to Cheng Ye's ear, and gently bit the tip of his ear.
"Hiss—" Cheng Ye exclaimed softly, "Don't, the nurse will come to take your temperature in fifteen minutes."
Tong Lu put her arm around his waist: "She won't come."
"You're lying with your eyes open. Did you eat the schedule?" Cheng Ye laughed.
"Okay, listen to me on this matter. If I say she won't come, then she won't come. There's no need to discuss it!" Before he finished speaking, Tong Lu felt a sudden pain in his waist. Fortunately, he had a lot of muscles, so he didn't jump up on the spot!
Cheng Ye didn't expect that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly rubbed it for him, laughing uncontrollably: "Who asked you to tease me? You knew that I was immersed in the domineering CEO's ghost video these past two days and couldn't extricate myself. You did it on purpose -"
The charming atmosphere completely disappeared, leaving only Cheng Ye's breathless giggles.
Tong Lu gasped in pain, but seeing Cheng Ye's happy look, he couldn't help but laugh twice and helped Cheng Ye smooth his back: "Don't laugh, the ribs you have worked so hard to heal will hurt again later."
Cheng Ye nestled in his arms, poking his chest, which felt like a steel plate: "Then why are you teasing me?"
Tong Lu lowered his head and kissed the top of his head: "Who asked you to seduce me? You are in a critical period of recovery now, and you can't afford to make any mistakes. Aren't you afraid that I will lose my bestial nature?"
Cheng Ye raised his head and bit his chin fiercely: "Hmph!"
"By the way, you haven't told me that the dinner wasn't due to overtime, so what was it?" Cheng Ye had a hunch that things were not that simple. Perhaps Tong Lu's next words would make him want to kill Bai Feiyao.
But he must listen!
"There was medicine in the wine that Bai Feiyao prepared for you. He planned to use you in exchange for a promotion that night." Tong Lu said through gritted teeth.
"?" Cheng Ye was confused. "What did you say?"
"It is said that one time you gave him an umbrella and his direct supervisor saw you, and then..." Tong Lu narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered the disgusting appearance of that pig supervisor, and he wanted to hang him up and whip him again.
"Oh, he wants to die, doesn't he? Hiss, it hurts!" Cheng Ye covered his ribs, "Fuck, I'm going to kill him!"
He could still comfort himself about the car accident, thinking that Bai Feiyao was just impulsive, but selling himself in exchange for a job was simply unforgivable!
Suddenly, Cheng Ye suddenly remembered something: "Is this the real reason why Bai Feiyao's company went bankrupt?"
"Well," Tong Lu explained, "it's just that their company brought about its own destruction, evading taxes, defaulting on project payments, and even the project companies under them didn't obtain business licenses, and their management was a mess—"
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes. "If you have time to investigate the company, why don't you just tell me Bai Feiyao's true identity? Aren't you afraid that if your plan fails, he'll frame me a second time?"
"If I go to you and tell you that Bai Feiyao harmed you, will you believe me?"
"I--" Cheng Ye choked up his neck. He believed that the two words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them.
It is impossible for a stranger, a close friend, to trust Tong Lu for no reason. It is not that he is unwilling to listen to advice, but it is just the basic respect of trusting people and not trusting people who are not trusted.
Since he regards Bai Feiyao as a friend, he should have the awareness to trust the other party!
Cheng Ye fell silent.
Tong Lu tightened his grip around his shoulders: "He wouldn't dare."
Cheng Ye tilted his head slightly, just in time to see the other person's resolute chin: "How can you be sure he doesn't dare?!"
"I……"
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and stared at him, which made Tong Lu's scalp tighten and his hair almost stand up.
Tong Lu confessed honestly: "I know he is not a good person. I originally wanted to let the bodyguard follow you to protect you, but I was afraid that you would be disgusted, so I hired a detective to follow him for a long time. If he makes any small moves, I will know."
Cheng Ye was surprised. She didn't expect that he had thought so much about her.
His nose felt slightly sour, and he pressed his face tightly against Tong Lu's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. It seemed that only in this way could he be sure that this person by his side truly belonged to him.
"Then we must not let him go." Cheng Ye gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Bai Feiyao to be so shameless and completely inhumane.
Tong Lu was delighted. He had wanted to punish Bai Feiyao for a long time.
Cheng Ye treated him sincerely, but he repaid her with evil. He had also tripped Cheng Ye up several times out of jealousy before. It was also because Cheng Ye usually stayed at home that nothing serious happened.
Now that he has Cheng Ye's permission, Tong Lu wishes Bai Feiyao would disappear right now!
Of course, before disappearing, he wanted to let Bai Feiyao know that there were some people he could not envy.
Cheng Ye stared at his suddenly smiling face for a long time, rolled his eyes and called him childish.
As long as the person is in his arms, Tong Lu doesn't care what he says. In his eyes, Ye Zi's arrogance is also very cute and charming.
Cheng Ye felt a little uncomfortable curled up, so she simply lay horizontally in Tong Lu's arms, her hands on her chest still wrapped in white gauze: "What are you going to do?"
When Tong Lu saw Cheng Ye covered in white, the glaring white, he felt distressed. If it weren't for Bai Feiyao and Jian Kang, his Cheng Ye wouldn't have suffered like this.
For every number of ribs his leaves had broken, he would completely shatter the same number of Bai Feiyao and Jian Kang's ribs!
Of course, Tong Lu would not tell this plan honestly.
He was not afraid of scaring Cheng Ye, but he was afraid that Ye Zi would feel sympathy and cause more trouble.
Besides, these two people are not worth dirtying Ye Zi's eyes.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Cheng Ye stopped asking questions. He didn't want to waste his time and energy on unworthy people and things.
"Leave it to me." Tong Lu evaded the question vaguely. When Cheng Ye was about to ask in detail, he lowered his head and kissed his lips, not giving Cheng Ye a chance to speak.
After the kiss, Cheng Ye panted and grabbed Tong Lu's collar, his eyes blurry: "By the way, Bai Feiyao still lives in my house. Can you help me sell the house when you have time?"
Tong Lu frowned: "Sold it? Are you short of money? That's the first house you bought since you started working." It's quite commemorative.
How could he sell it like that when he hadn't even visited it?!
Cheng Ye said with disgust, "It's dirty." Whenever he thought about Bai Feiyao and Jian Kang doing disgusting things in every corner of the room, he couldn't help but want to vomit.
Even when he thought that he had personally invited Bai Feiyao to live with him, he couldn't help feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit!
How can you live in a house like that? It’s better to sell it than just let it gather dust.
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes: "Find an aggressive seller and sell it as soon as possible! Don't notify Bai Feiyao to move out in advance!" Originally, he wanted to contact Bai Feiyao actively, but now - he had to force Bai Feiyao to contact him!
