Chapter 97097 Lu Xuan: I like you
"Why should I believe you?" Lu Xuan looked at him coldly. His gloomy look was like a cobra hiding in the dark, which might bite someone at any time.
"You still have a choice?" Bruno sneered coldly.
"You can't give me a clear guarantee, so the deal can't be reached. Go back, I won't go back with you." Lu Xuan said decisively.
Bruno's face was filled with astonishment. He demanded, "Don't you care about your friend's life or death? Tomorrow, all the medical devices will be removed from his body. By then, it will be too late to save him. Are you going to give up this only chance to save him?"
Lu Xuan laughed in anger, his azure eyes filled with mockery. "You're blackmailing me? If he dies, I'll just go with him. If I can't get what I want, you can't get what you want either."
"I know my worth better than you do! If those idiots were truly useful, why would you have come all the way to this remote village to bring back a bastard like me?"
Bruno: “…”
Bruno was holding a grudge in his heart, and looking at the calm young man in front of him, he was so angry that he almost died!
He didn't expect this guy to be so extreme and couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
After a long pause, Bruno added dryly, "Okay, I can give you a guarantee. I can act as a sponsor and provide Pei Qi with medical assistance. I'll give you a physical examination report of Pei Qi every six months. This is the greatest guarantee I can give you. I will cover all of his medical expenses."
Lu Xuan said decisively: "One month. I have to check his physical examination report every month so that I can know that he is alive and well."
"No, a monthly physical checkup report is too frequent!"
After this argument, both sides finally took a step back.
As long as Lu Xuan is willing to go back with him, Pei Qi will be able to receive the best treatment. Every three months, Bruno will provide him with a physical examination report of Pei Qi to let him know about Pei Qi's physical condition.
Bruno looked at him steadily. "But, let me be frank. Once you return, you must not contact your old friends, let alone think about leaving the family. If you do, I will cut off Pei Qi's treatment. Perhaps in the future you will have grown stronger and become capable of soaring to the sky, but you must never forget that you can escape, but your close friends cannot."
Bruno knew better than anyone that Lu Xuan was a proud eagle. The eagle's future lay in the vast sky, not in a narrow cage. The moment he let go, the eagle would surely soar into the sky. However, as long as he blew the whistle, the eagle would have to return to his hands.
To tame an eagle, you have to put all kinds of shackles on it when it is still young. Only in this way will it willingly dedicate everything to the family.
Lu Xuan didn't respond, but simply asked, "When are we leaving? Pei Qi's condition can't be delayed any longer. There's an insect infestation here, and the hospitals here are already overloaded. You promised me to give Pei Qi the best medical resources."
Bruno patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "We'll leave tonight. Don't worry. We won't have to squeeze into the Federation's emergency spacecraft with the refugees. We'll take a private spacecraft."
The Custer family is an old family after all. Even though the times have changed and they are no longer among the top five families, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if they have fallen into a second-rate family, the family heritage is there. Their private spaceships are purchased and modified from retired warships. Both in terms of safety factor and the function of the ships are far superior to the federal emergency spaceships.
"I..." Lu Xuan hesitated to speak.
"Hmm?" Bruno glanced at him.
"I want to go in and see him, but the ICU is a sterilization room and the doctor won't let me in..."
Bruno said nonchalantly, "How difficult is that? Just move him to a private ward and put on your sterile gown and go in."
Lu Xuan's eyes flickered, "Thank you."
Bruno glanced at him and reminded him, "I'll only give you five minutes to say goodbye. We agreed that this world only has Caesar Custer, not Lu Xuan."
"I know."
With Bruno's help, Lu Xuan finally got the chance to meet Pei Qi. Even though it was only for five minutes, it was an extremely precious opportunity for him.
In a private ward.
The strong smell of disinfectant was so strong that he could clearly smell it even though he was wearing an isolation suit. Pei Qi, lying on the bed, seemed to be asleep, like a beautiful porcelain doll.
This was the first time he looked closely at Pei Qi's human form.
very beautiful.
His black hair was as soft as silk, and his little face was chubby, looking very cute. However, his eyes, which were always bright, were closed at this moment. Lu Xuan stood there and covered him with the quilt as usual.
Five minutes was too short for him to engrave the whole person in his heart.
He sat on the chair, holding the wrist covered with needle marks, and murmured dejectedly: "You have always been afraid of pain. Why don't they know how to be more careful when doing things..."
"Pei Qi."
His throat was rolling, and the words on his mind were stuck in it. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Ji Dong is an unreliable guy. Don't listen to his advice in the future. Yu Hao is more careful. If you encounter something you don't understand in the future, you can talk to him. Do you remember our joint account? The password is our shared birthday. The money in it is yours. It will come in handy someday."
"The orphanage won't support you forever. You need to make plans early. No matter what you do in the future, I will support you. I support you in doing what you want to do. Also, try to avoid getting into trouble and don't be impatient when encountering problems, because..."
Because without me to clean up your mess, you will suffer.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
The protective suit seemed to be fogged up, completely blocking Lu Xuan's vision.
"The last point, and the most important one, is that you must remember to forget me and live a good life."
"You will meet someone better than me, you will meet a friend better than me, and someone will eventually be able to replace me and make you happy. As long as you are happy, that's all I want."
"I……"
like.
Before he could finish his words, he heard a knock on the door.
Bruno reminded coldly outside the door: "It's time."
He swallowed his words silently and whispered, "Pei Qi, forget me."
After he finished speaking, he slowly loosened his clenched hands, carefully put Pei Qi's hand back into the quilt, stood up and left the ward resolutely.
He understood better than anyone that the so-called Custer family was not a paradise at all. However, even if it was a dangerous place, he would still give it a try.
Because only in this way can Pei Qi receive adequate treatment.
He left, taking only the crookedly woven blue scarf with him.
But Lu Xuan walked so fast that he didn't even look back.
The hand that he had put back into the quilt stretched out again, instinctively looking for a source of warmth, seeking support as usual.
But this time, it searched around and found nothing.
