☆、85、Let the Gentlemen Choose as They Like (2020 characters)
Li Yaxi lay on the table, rubbing his lower back. Even though it should have healed in three or four days, it still ached terribly after so long, and he couldn't stand still for too long.
Could it be that the space around him made his body unusually sensitive?
When Feng Zihao returned to the living room, he saw Li Yaxi slumped over the table and rushed over to hug her.
"Ya Xi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yaxi raised her head and smiled reassuringly at Feng Zihao.
"No, I just got back and my back is a little sore. I'll take a bath and rest for a bit and I'll feel better."
"Why don't you go back to your room and lie down for a bit? I'll run you a bath."
Li Yaxi nodded, and as she stood up, she suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Li Yaxi clutched her lower back and lost her balance, falling to the ground. Feng Zihao quickly caught her.
"Ya Xi! Tell me honestly what happened, are you hurt?!"
Li Yaxi bit her lip and shook her head. "Help me to bed for a while. My back hurts a bit, probably from the long car ride."
Feng Zihao helped Li Yaxi back to the room and tried to pull open his clothes to take a look, but Li Yaxi stopped him.
Feng Zihao became even more suspicious. "Ya Xi, let me see if you're hiding something from me!"
Li Yaxi clutched her clothes, lowered her eyes, and remained silent for a while.
"I... Cai Wenliang underwent a transplant surgery."
Feng Zihao's eyes widened immediately. "You donated bone marrow?"
Li Yaxi nodded. Feng Zihao's chest was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Yaxi hurriedly comforted him.
"Zihao, it's not as scary as you think. The doctor said you'll fully recover in ten days at most."
Feng Zihao looked at the timid Li Yaxi, wanting to scold her but unable to bring himself to do so, and finally sighed helplessly.
"I'm not blaming you for saving him, but you should also take care of your own health! You're already anemic!"
"Zihao, it's okay. If something were wrong, do you think the doctor would have let me have the transplant? Okay, I'll just sleep for a while. You go and do your thing!"
Feng Zihao took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, and sighed contentedly while holding Li Yaxi.
"It's been so long since I held you while you slept. I'll stay with you for a while."
Li Yaxi snuggled against Feng Zihao, finding a comfortable angle but still feeling sleepy.
Feng Zihao noticed that Li Yaxi hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. "Can't you sleep? Or does your back hurt a lot?"
Li Yaxi opened her eyes and looked at him. "Zhou Yang, he..."
Feng Zihao hugged Li Yaxi tighter. "Yaxi, Zhou Yang has helped me a lot, so... if you don't like him, I won't let him come to our house."
Whether you come to my house or not is not important; what's important is you.
Feng Zihao looked at him, puzzled. "What? What's wrong with me?"
Li Yaxi sighed, "Zhou Yang likes you, Zihao. I hate him because I don't want to lose you!"
Feng Zihao kissed Li Yaxi's forehead. "Silly girl, you won't lose me, I promise."
Li Yaxi's life has become very regular lately: school, home, and occasionally the hospital.
Since learning that Li Yaxi had donated bone marrow, Feng Zihao has been spending more time at home. Sometimes, even when he's only busy for an hour or two, he'll rush back to have dinner with Li Yaxi.
Han Weiming often pestered Li Yaxi, but compared to her previous rejection, Li Yaxi was always gentle with Han Weiming.
No matter what Han Weiming said or did, Li Yaxi would simply smile and remain silent.
Li Yaxi had practiced that elegant, composed, and unflappable demeanor for a long time in her previous life, never expecting that such a hypocritical facade would one day be used on Han Weiming.
After class, Li Yaxi quietly leaned against the window reading a book, while Xiaoweiba lay beside him, wagging its tail. The scene was peaceful and warm.
When Feng Zihao returned home, he saw this quiet and beautiful scene. He smiled as he approached.
"Ya Xi, what book are you reading so intently?"
Li Yaxi turned her head and smiled gently, "Why are you back so early today? I'll go cook."
Feng Zihao pulled Li Yaxi back. "It's still early. It's rare for you to come back so early today. Do you want to go out for a walk tonight?"
"Why are you so free today? Has the rain stopped?"
Feng Zihao ruffled Li Yaxi's hair. "I wanted to spend more time with you since I have some rare free time. We could go shopping and see if there's anything you need to buy, or take Xiaoweiba for a walk."
Li Yaxi shook her head. "No, you've been so busy you haven't had time to rest. If you have time tonight, why don't you come with me to see a movie?"
Feng Zihao held Li Yaxi in his arms, the afterglow of the setting sun gently shining on the two of them, and Li Yaxi comfortably squinted her eyes.
Feng Zihao looked at the person in his arms, but the unease in his eyes grew stronger.
"Ya Xi, is there something you're hiding from me? You've been acting very...different lately."
Li Yaxi leaned against him, smiling faintly.
"What's different? I'm still me."
"You seem very different. You're much more obedient, much quieter, and much more melancholic. Ya Xi, I don't want you to keep your worries bottled up inside."
Clumps of white clouds drifted across the sky, giving Li Yaxi a sense of leisurely tranquility, like gazing at the distant southern mountains.
"Zihao, look at that cloud in the sky, doesn't it look like a rabbit? And the one next to it looks like an old man's face."
Feng Zihao looked up at the darkening sky, rested his chin on Li Yaxi's head, and gently rubbed it.
"Ya-Xi, please trust me!"
I've always believed in you, always have.
Li Yaxi looked up at Feng Zihao and slowly kissed his lips.
The little tail raised its head and glanced at it, then tucked its head back to its legs.
Feng Zihao hugged Li Yaxi tightly, and Li Yaxi, whose heart was pounding, could feel the vibration.
The alternation of breaths, the lingering affection between lips and tongue.
Li Yaxi looked at Feng Zihao with eyes full of emotion, and her red lips parted slightly, "Zihao... I've grown up."
Feng Zihao's eyes darkened, and he kissed Li Yaxi's slightly red lips again.
