The bottle of bath salts rolled to the ground. Xia Xingchi sat up stiffly, watching it roll away, and completely forgot to even bend down to pick it up.
The surroundings were extremely quiet for a moment. Li Chengyuan looked at him patiently with a blank expression, as if he wanted to know what lie he could tell this time.
Xia Xingchi finally came back to his senses, and immediately jumped up, thinking that the best strategy would be to run away. Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan grabbed his wrist and pulled him back to the chair.
Li Chengyuan said gloomily: "Speak."
He seldom revealed his terrifying true self in front of Xia Xingchi, but just two words shocked Xia Xingchi to the spot, and he couldn't help but flinch.
"What can I say?" Xia Xingchi said dryly, feeling guilty. "What do you mean by memory modification? Are you telling a fantasy story while you are half asleep?"
Li Chengyuan said nothing. The more expressionless he was, the more frightening he was.
Xia Xingchi felt more and more terrified, but he looked serious as he pursued the victory:
"I heard that near-death experiences can cause people to have many hallucinations. You must be mistaken... Anyway, don't think about these messed up things!"
Li Chengyuan's expression changed.
After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Xia Xingchi, do you also want to say that I am mentally ill and that these are all imaginary -"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly covered his lips and started coughing.
His face, which had originally had a slight flush of color from soaking in hot water, turned pale again. His lungs had not yet recovered from the damage caused by the toxins, and at this moment he actually coughed up a trace of blood.
Li Chengyuan swallowed the blood in his throat and laughed at himself: "That's right, maybe I am crazy."
Xia Xingchi had never seen such a scene before and was immediately at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly I remembered that Li Chengyuan was caught by the mistress because he was so stubborn and believed in the existence of that little liar, and was forced to take countless messy psychiatric drugs.
——I accidentally poked his wound while trying to find an excuse in a panic.
It is hard to say whether the little liar actually exists, but what Li Chengyuan said about the change in memory a year ago is indeed true.
Xia Xingchi immediately felt extremely guilty and said quickly:
"No! I believe you! I mean...actually I...uh, I actually had plastic surgery! That's why you didn't recognize me at the time!"
Li Chengyuan: “.........?”
In fact, he is not so fragile and sensitive, and he would not be so sad about such a trivial matter.
He wanted to use this to test Xia Xingchi, but it seemed that he had overacted, and he coughed so hard that he accidentally coughed up some blood, which forced this little hedgehog to not hesitate to make fun of himself and tell such an unreliable lie.
Xia Xingchi continued to lie in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "Of course things like plastic surgery must be kept secret! I'm afraid you'll dislike it, so it's normal for me to want to hide it - right!"
Li Chengyuan was helpless, thinking that if he pushed Xia Xingchi any further, he would bite him, so he reached out and pinched the tip of Xia Xingchi's nose:
"Stop making up stories. How come you can't even tell a complete lie now?"
Not as good as when I was a kid.
Although the whole story is not clear for the time being, Li Chengyuan has already got the answer he wanted:
This is a typical case of trying to cover up something and making it more obvious. If Xia Xingchi really knew nothing, he wouldn't have to lie. He wouldn't have felt so guilty just because he put on a show.
It seems that this little liar must know something, but just refuses to say it.
"Help me up." Li Chengyuan let him go temporarily and stretched out his arm and said.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xingchi saw that he seemed unable to stand up, and immediately asked nervously, "Are you dizzy and feeling unwell?"
Li Chengyuan didn't say anything, as if he was really dizzy, and let Xia Xingchi help him up.
The young worker was very service-oriented and picked up a bath towel to dry his body.
In fact, when Xia Xingchi was wiping the fur, he was just like bathing a wet cat, and he didn't think much of it. Just as he was about to lower his head to wipe it, he suddenly heard a deep voice in his ear:
"Aren't you afraid to look at me?"
Xia Xingchi: “…”
With this reminder, I suddenly seemed to realize that I had accidentally seen something.
At this moment, he had just finished wiping Li Chengyuan's upper body and was about to bend down and wipe all the way down. His position was very awkward and unfortunate, and a certain part could be seen clearly and in detail.
The picture is shocking. I have never looked at it before, and this is the first time I realize that it is so... amazingly large.
“Oh my god!”
Xia Xingchi immediately exploded with thorns all over his body. He jumped three feet high and threw the bath towel directly at Li Chengyuan: "Hurry up and wipe it yourself!"
This guy's acting skills in scamming people are too extreme. Whenever Xia Xingchi loses focus, he always classifies him as a weak and unable to take care of himself. He wants to take him down from the wheelchair, dry him and put on a bathrobe for him.
.
The scene was so shocking that Xia Xingchi tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep. Finally, he remembered that in addition to money, he actually had other hobbies, such as men.
Normally, I don't think it's a big deal to sleep in the same bed with Li Chengyuan. Even when we hug each other's waists, it's like little animals huddling together for warmth. I don't have any other thoughts.
But tonight he felt something was wrong. The villain's usually cool body temperature seemed to be able to burn people, making Xia Xingchi quietly shrink to the edge of the bed, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.
But no matter how far away it was, it was still a bed, and his nose was filled with the familiar fragrance of someone, gently scratching his heart like a small claw.
Seeing him rolling around like a pancake without sleeping and still so far away, Li Chengyuan said helplessly: "What are you doing?"
"I'm hot. Don't get so close to me."
Li Chengyuan felt even more helpless.
Fortunately, Xia Xingchi fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow. After waiting for a while and seeing that the little pancake could no longer turn over, and even lay on the pillow and hummed comfortably and contentedly, Li Chengyuan then reached out and held her in his arms.
.
The next morning, when the doctor knocked on the door to check on him, Xia Xingchi had already changed his position and was sleeping soundly, clinging tightly to Li Chengyuan.
I heard a very quiet conversation next to my ear: "Mr. Li, your test results..."
Xia Xingchi immediately pricked up his ears, opened his eyes, poked his head out of the quilt, and listened to what the doctor had to say with sleepy eyes.
When the doctor just entered the room, he found a bulge in the quilt as if there was something hidden underneath. Just as he was wondering if it was a pillow or something else, he saw a bright and handsome young man crawling out.
Li Chengyuan casually pushed Xia Xingchi back and said, "You should have a good sleep."
Xia Xingchi refused. He yawned and rubbed his head on Li Chengyuan's clothes without any hesitation, holding his waist tightly and refusing to let go.
Perhaps it was because there was very little physical contact to express emotions since he was a child, Xia Xingchi instinctively wanted to stick to the person he was familiar with and liked when he was dazed.
The doctor was suddenly fed with dog food, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and continue:
"Overall, the problem is not serious, but the lung and myocardial damage still need treatment and rest for a period of time, and the low blood pressure and anemia problems also require medication for a period of time."
"If you want to cure your stomach problems, don't stay up late. You should also combine work and rest. Thinking too much will hurt your body."
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, and suddenly remembered that he was working so hard to make money, even at the cost of his life, just for his money-grubbing Bai Yueguang. Suddenly, he felt that the person in his arms was not attractive anymore.
And I finally remembered that I was trying hard to keep a distance from him last night, so why did he hug me again as soon as I opened my eyes today?
Li Chengyuan felt the hand around his waist loosen. The little hedgehog, who had just woken up, seemed to be depressed again for no reason. He slowly retracted his head into the quilt, turned away from him, and silently rolled himself into a hedgehog ball.
Li Chengyuan:?
Even the business legend who was able to foresee the future couldn't figure this out. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what words had offended Xia Xingchi.
.
Li Chengyuan only stayed in the hospital for a few days. After he finished all the IV drips he needed to receive, he decided to go through the procedures to be discharged. After all, it would be the same whether he rested anywhere.
He was very firm in his decision, and did not consider his physical condition at all. He even refused to listen to the doctor's advice to observe and rest for a few more days, and wanted to take the remaining IV drips and medicines home.
Xia Xingchi was puzzled and didn't understand why he suddenly decided to go back.
I wanted to persuade him, but was easily defeated by a faint "I'm in a bad mood here" -
This is a big cat with a capricious temper. He will get so angry that his stomach hurts if he disagrees with something. It is best not to provoke him as much as possible, lest his negative mentality affects his physical recovery.
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, vaguely feeling that Li Chengyuan didn't want to leave just because he didn't want to stay in the ward.
Maybe there was some other reason he didn't want to tell...and it wasn't a good one.
Xia Xingchi hadn't been home for a long time. He had just changed his shoes and entered the house. He was shocked when he passed by the open storage room.
The entire storage room was filled to the brim with an outrageous number of gift boxes, including everything from food, drinks, and entertainment, covering all aspects of life: food, clothing, housing, transportation, and so on.
Xia Xingchi picked up an expensive and beautiful watch and tried it on his wrist. He felt that this youthful style seemed to suit him quite well.
"Oh my God, Aunt Li, are you going to redeem your lottery prize?"
Aunt Li was watering the plants in the living room. She said, "A lot of people have come to give gifts recently. Your agency and your father have both given you a lot of things."
His agency had casually hidden him not long ago, but since he and Li Chengyuan officially announced their relationship, they suddenly realized that not only had they treated the young master of the Xia family badly, but that this was also the lover that Mr. Li held in his hands.
The degree of shock and fear was no less than being struck by lightning, and I simply regretted my actions.
So after sliding down to his knees, he began to give gifts enthusiastically, obviously to sincerely apologize for what had happened before and to establish a relationship with her.
As for Xia Pingjian, he was thick-skinned enough and didn't feel ashamed at all about changing his attitude to suit other people.
Seeing that his son's value had skyrocketed, he hurried to restore their relationship, completely forgetting that he had beaten and scolded him whenever he wanted before.
Xia Xingchi's idea of "giving gifts" was still at the level of a poor working person. When Aunt Li called and asked if he would accept any, Xia Xingchi simply nodded and said of course he would accept it. It would be a waste not to accept something as an apology or a courtesy.
As a result, an entire storage room was filled with things, which was really exaggerated.
Perhaps he was afraid that cheap things would not please "Mrs. Li", so he bought the most expensive and best things.
Xia Xingchi was delighted by the windfall, and turned around happily as if he was dividing the spoils, saying, "It's all for your sake. You pick first, and give me the rest."
At this time, Summer ran all the way down the stairs, his short legs almost sliding as he rushed down.
It’s been a long time since I last saw these two people. The seemingly aloof and unsociable cat couldn’t help but pounce on them. It was obviously very lonely.
Li Chengyuan immediately dodged indifferently to avoid the impact of the huge fluffy shell.
When the big white ball missed its target, it let out a dissatisfied "meow!", turned around to bite Xia Xingchi's trouser leg, then tilted its head and rubbed it against him, as if asking him to seek justice.
Xia Xingchi was stunned, and immediately felt overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and intimacy. He didn't expect that he would receive the cat's active intimacy.
He symbolically hit Li Chengyuan with a hammer and said what he had not dared to say before because he was afraid of the villain:
"You really don't know how lucky you are! Do you know how lucky you are to have such a clingy cat? You don't know how many years I have wanted a cat like this!"
Li Chengyuan said calmly: "I know."
He didn't have much interest in this kind of small animal, but he raised one after leaving the Li family and stabilizing the group because he thought of the cute look of someone who stared at the kitten with his eyes wide open.
He is usually too busy to take care of the cat, so he has a servant to take care of it, but he often feeds Summer cat food himself.
While feeding the kittens, he recalled how the little liar was penniless and could not even afford to eat, but he still smiled and fed half of his last bit of food to the stray kittens and the other half to Li Chengyuan.
Xia Xingchi tilted his head and was about to retort, "It's strange that you knew that," when he heard Li Chengyuan continue:
"This is for you. You said you liked pure white, long-haired ones... It has the same last name as you."
"Hmm? How come——"
Xia Xingchi was stunned, and suddenly realized that the name Summer really did have the character "Xia" in its name just like him.
Li Chengyuan's calm and serious expression didn't seem like he was joking at all. He had raised this big white ball for more than a year and had already given it a name. It should have appeared much earlier than Xia Xingchi's marriage.
This series of pile-up crashes...how could there be such a coincidence?
Li Chengyuan said no more, as if deliberately teasing Xia Xingchi, he took off his coat and went upstairs to the study.
Xia Xingchi, Summer and the cat were left staring at each other, each standing there in a daze.
.
The next day, Xia Xingchi got his own job that made him rich. It was said that Lin Meng had carefully selected the best ones from countless high-quality resources.
Considering that the most important thing for young couples is to be in love with each other, after all, with a fortune of hundreds of billions, working in the entertainment industry is just entertainment.
It was just a simple variety show that could be recorded in one day, which did not affect their love and affection.
Previously, Xia Xingchi felt helpless because he had to stay at home every day and couldn't make money, but now he can easily fill his schedule with money, which makes him as happy as winning the lottery.
He glanced at the villain who was eating breakfast proudly at the table, and suddenly felt reluctant to go out.
Li Chengyuan was not satisfied with this either, and his clingy personality during his illness was vaguely revealed again. It was obvious that he wanted to pick up Xia Xingchi in person to avoid losing him.
"No, you should rest well. I really won't run away," Xia Xingchi said sourly, "I am different from the little swindlers who kill for money. Don't be so nervous all the time!"
Li Chengyuan took a deep breath. He was well aware of his paranoid personality. In order not to scare people, he finally compromised.
Xia Xingchi instructed: "Eat your lunch and dinner well. I came back late, so I can't supervise you today. Go to bed early and don't stay up late to work again."
This variety show was recorded in Beijing, and it was the first time he appeared in front of everyone after becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Unlike Xia Yu, Xia Xingchi did not have to work so hard to establish the persona of "just playing around in the entertainment industry". When asked this question, Xia Xingchi just told the truth and sincerely emphasized in front of the camera that he really came here to make money.
It's a pity that everyone just thinks he is low-key and humorous. After all, if he wants, Li Chengyuan can just buy out the entire TV station.
No one can come and play with more justification than him.
The entire variety show took a whole day to record.
Xia Xingchi had thought that he could get a free lunch box with meat, but unexpectedly, driver Xiao Wu brought a sumptuous meal prepared by Aunt Li - and by the way, he checked to see if Mr. Li was still there.
The food at home is healthier and more nutritious than boxed lunches, and the pork rib soup is so delicious that everyone can't help but come over to taste it.
Although Xia Xingchi tried to share the food instead of eating alone, no one was too embarrassed to take advantage of the loving lunch box that the boss specially sent someone to prepare for his lover, so in the end he was the only one who was full.
.
Because I recorded a few promotional videos, it was already early in the morning when I got home.
Xia Xingchi tiptoed upstairs and told Li Chengyuan to go to bed quickly. The latter replied with a brief and indifferent "hmm".
Unexpectedly, as soon as I climbed up to the second floor, I saw someone sleeping on the sofa.
Li Chengyuan was wearing pure white home clothes. It was a bit difficult for him to squeeze on the sofa with such long legs, so he had to lie on his side and curl up. It didn't look like a very comfortable posture.
Summer also curled up into a cat ball and slept beside him. Xia Xingchi suddenly felt like he had raised two white cats, one big and one small. There were still people waiting after the night shift was over.
Unfortunately, while my heart was warmed, I couldn't help but get angry. It would be fine if Summer didn't go back to the nest to sleep, but why was this big cat so disobedient?
Not to mention that the sleeping posture is awkward and uncomfortable, if you accidentally catch a cold, you will definitely get a stomach attack and a high fever.
Although Xia Xingchi had already slowed down his pace, Li Chengyuan still opened his eyes immediately.
"Dear boss, didn't you promise me to go to bed early?" Xia Xingchi scolded distressedly, "Why are you sleeping here? What if you catch a cold?"
Li Chengyuan lowered his eyes. Ever since he found Xia Xingchi, his original difficulty in falling asleep had indeed improved a lot. The subconscious thought of "I can't sleep, because if I fall asleep I will never find him again" gradually weakened.
I originally wanted to wait for him here, but I didn't expect to fall asleep accidentally.
Seeing that he was silent, Xia Xingchi thought that he was feeling unwell, so he hurried forward and touched his forehead. He was relieved to see that he had no fever and no cold sweat.
"Don't wait for me in the future, go back to your room and go to bed early."
Li Chengyuan sat on the sofa side by side with Summer with an expressionless face. His indifferent look clearly showed that he was unwilling to admit that he was waiting for someone.
"Okay, okay, you didn't wait. Sir, if you don't go to sleep, I will knock you out with a club and then throw you on the bed to smother you to death."
However, when Li Chengyuan took the documents on the coffee table in the living room to the study to sort them out and came back, he saw someone already sleeping soundly on the pillow.
It doesn't look like he could smother someone to death.
Li Chengyuan smiled helplessly, turned the sleeping Xia Xingchi over and held him in his arms to prevent him from suffocating while sleeping on his stomach.
Xia Xingchi then snorted softly.
Perhaps the sight of Li Chengyuan curled up in a ball touched something deep in his memory, and he actually dreamed of a small, yet serious, young version of Li Chengyuan wearing a white shirt.
In the dream, he was curled up like this, pressing his heart in a cold corner and shivering uncomfortably.
"Are you sick?" Xia Xingchi, who was also small, squatted down. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Chengyuan ignored him. When he came over to check, he just coldly slapped his hand away, stood up with difficulty while holding on to the wall, and tried to leave staggeringly.
Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, he felt dizzy and had a splitting headache, and then fell down.
Xia Xingchi quickly caught him and said firmly: "You will die if you do this!"
Li Chengyuan finally responded. A strange smile different from that of a normal child appeared on his indifferent face: "Then die——"
Before he could finish his words, Xia Xingchi actually picked him up and carried him sideways.
Although Xia Xingchi was a few years older than him, he was only slightly taller. However, Li Chengyuan was extremely ill at the time and was extremely thin, so Xia Xingchi had to hug him with great difficulty.
"You can't just die like this," Xia Xingchi panted tiredly, "You look very rich, how can you bear to die? You haven't spent all your money yet, what a waste!"
Li Chengyuan was speechless.
He had obviously never heard such an outrageous reason for survival, it seemed like black humor.
But Xia Xingchi's serious attitude did not seem like a joke. He took him all the way to a remote abandoned factory building that could shelter him from the cold wind, and even had the guts to pinch the face of the precious Second Young Master Li.
"Tell me the truth, are you the young master who ran away from home?"
"Drink some water, your lips are so dry and white, are you thirsty?"
"When your parents come to look for you, can you give me some money for food as a reward? Otherwise, I will starve to death before you do."
The scene changes and time turns into a cold, damp, rainy night.
Li Chengyuan's sensitive and fragile stomach ached, but he endured it without saying a word. He sat aside and watched Xia Xingchi's deft and slightly short hands quickly weave a red string:
"Thank you for lending me the money for dinner... Although I don't have any money right now, can I give you this as an IOU? I will definitely pay you back when I make some money!"
Li Chengyuan thought that he didn't need to pay back the money, because he would be killed by someone or die of illness before that time anyway.
But on second thought, he hoped Xia Xingchi could stay there forever, so he nodded expressionlessly.
"Why do you look so bad? Don't you want to eat something? Hot buns are really delicious!"
Li Chengyuan shook his head, still silently enduring the increasingly severe pain in his stomach.
His vision gradually went dark, and he hoped that he would faint from the pain sooner this time so that he wouldn't have to continue suffering from this agony.
But at this moment, he was caught off guard by a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, and he tilted his head and vomited a mouthful of dark blood on the spot.
Xia Xingchi was just putting the bracelet on him when he saw this and was so frightened that he stood there in a daze.
The child was vomiting blood from his eyes, which meant he was about to die. When he saw his body tilted and his face turned pale and he fainted, Xia Xingchi was so scared that he thought he had died suddenly.
"Li Chengyuan!!"
Xia Xingchi sat up suddenly, awakened from his dream with fright.
Li Chengyuan was a light sleeper and was awakened by his shout. He was shivering and the fear on his face had not completely faded, so he reached out and rubbed his head:
"What's wrong? Are you scared because of a nightmare?"
Xia Xingchi seemed to be sleepwalking and had not yet fully woken up from his dream. He was so confused that he could not distinguish between dreams and reality.
He grabbed Li Chengyuan's hand and said firmly: "You can't die! I made a bracelet for you... I haven't paid you back yet!"
Li Chengyuan thought he was just having an ordinary nightmare, and he would be fine after coaxing him away and continue sleeping.
But when the word "bracelet" came out, he frowned suddenly and said in disbelief: "Xia Xingchi, what did you remember?"
The author has something to say: Xiao Xia: The money has not been spent yet! How can a person be gone! (Deeply sad.jpg)
Mr. Li: At the current rate of making money, it may take us thousands of years to achieve immortality...
