Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Liang Yiyi thought of the man in the small hotel. So she took a taxi to the mall and bought two sets of men's clothes and brought them to the Fulai Hotel. After all, if she didn't go to check on the man when he woke up, the fat proprietress would be suspicious of her.
At Fulaili, the fat lady boss seemed relieved when she saw Liang Yiyi get out of the car and walk in. Liang Yiyi greeted her and asked, "Sister Fat, I'm really sorry for taking the trouble to take care of him. How is my brother now?"
Fat Sister quickly told Liang Yiyi about what had happened since yesterday. "Not long after you left yesterday, he developed a high fever. I gave him antipyretic medicine as you told him to. He woke up around eight o'clock, and I fed him the pig liver soup I had cooked overnight. But he didn't say a word for some reason. I'm really worried. His fever has been intermittent, sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse. Can he just take medicine without going to the hospital? Luckily you're here now. Come up and take a look. If not, we should send him to the hospital."
As they were talking, they had already reached the door of the second floor. They knocked gently, and without waiting for the other party to answer, they pushed the door open and walked in. The man on the bed opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them. He knew the fat proprietress, and the other girl was the girl he had seen in the alley yesterday. Li Yulou now understood. He must have fainted in the alley yesterday. This girl must have saved him, put him in this small hotel, and asked the proprietress to take care of him.
Because the boss's wife was there, Liang Yiyi had no choice but to step forward and call out: "Brother, how are you? Are you feeling better? If not, let's go to the hospital for a check-up?" Li Yulou immediately shook his head after hearing this and said, "No need, it's nothing serious. It's just a skin injury. It will be fine in two days. I'm hungry." When the boss's wife heard that he was hungry, she hurriedly said, "I'll ask the kitchen to make some light porridge for you. If you are not feeling well, you will recover quickly if you eat more. Just wait, I'll be back soon." After saying that, she turned around and left the room, and soon the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs could be heard.
Seeing her leave, Liang Yiyi closed the door and said to Li Yulou on the bed, "Hello, my name is Liang Yiyi. Yesterday I saw you fainted in that alley, and your body was covered with wounds. I was afraid that you would bleed too much and get into trouble, and someone was chasing you, so I didn't dare to send you to the hospital, so I sent you here. I cleaned and bandaged your injuries. If you feel any discomfort or are not confident in my bandaging skills, I can send you to the hospital. I told the boss lady that you and I are brother and sister, and we met some gangsters when we went out to buy things. You were beaten like this to protect me. I was afraid that she would call the police if I didn't say this. Although I didn't do anything bad, I am most afraid of trouble. If you still have anything you don't understand, you can ask now. I will go back later. Don't worry, I have left enough money for the boss lady, and she will take good care of you."
Li Yulou looked at the girl in front of him named Liang Yiyi. She was wearing a beautiful dress that looked very valuable. Her delicate features and big, lively eyes made her look noble and elegant. This kind of elegance actually gave him an inexplicable sense of security, which made him feel a little unbelievable. After all, they were only strangers who had met twice today. Could it be just because she had saved him yesterday?
Li Yulou said calmly, "Thank you for saving me yesterday, but I can't go to the hospital. If I show up in front of them, I'll just die. Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble. As soon as my injuries are almost healed, I'll leave here and won't cause you any more trouble. Oh, and my name is Li Yulou."
Li Yulou? Liang Yiyi looked at the handsome man in his late twenties and suddenly recalled a news story he'd read in his past life. On Wall Street, there was a financial investment firm called Yusheng, owned by a Chinese man who had built a fortune from scratch to a multi-billionaire in just ten years. Rumors circulated that Li Yulou had fled to the US because he'd been victimized by his family. Looking at the man before him, it was clear the age matched. If it was really him, he should already have a company in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Liang Yiyi asked, "You want to leave? Where are you going? Can you let go of the things in the capital?"
Li Yulou was slightly surprised, "Do you know who I am?"
Liang Yiyi shrugged and said, "I didn't know before, but judging by your reaction now, I think I guessed it right. But no matter who you are, if you need help, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
Li Yulou laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm penniless right now. I can't even pay you back for the money you spent on me. Are you still willing to help me?"
"I saved your life, so what's so strange about helping you out a little? Don't they say that you should save people to the end and see the Buddha off to the west? I have finally become a good person again, I can't give up halfway, right?" It's no wonder that when Liang Yiyi was a killer in his previous life, he only knew how to kill people and save people - this is the first time in both his previous life and this life.
Li Yulou suddenly laughed at his words. He was already handsome, and a man in his thirties was in the prime of his life. This smile truly added to his charm. "I, Li Yulou, have lived for twenty-nine years and made countless friends, yet I've come this far without a single person willing to truly help me. Yet, this person, whom I've only met once, not only saved my life but also pledged to see me through to the end, unwilling to give up halfway. It seems I was destined for this fate. Who made me blind before?"
After saying this, Li Yulou looked at Liang Yiyi and said sincerely: "Thank you, I am really grateful to you. Not only did you save my life, but you also gave me hope. If I really need your help, I will definitely ask you."
Liang Yiyi was relieved when she saw that he was finally no longer so depressed. She remembered the clothes she had bought for him and said, "The clothes you wore yesterday are no longer wearable. I bought you two new ones. Wear them for now. When you recover, you can buy your own clothes."
Li Yulou had too many wounds on his body, his upper body was almost wrapped like a dumpling, and his lower body also had a lot of wounds, so Liang Yiyi had taken off all his clothes and thrown them away yesterday, leaving only a pair of underwear. Now he was lying on the bed with just a thin blanket gently draped below his abdomen. Originally, he was discouraged and didn't think it was a big deal, but now after hearing what Liang Yiyi said, he remembered that she had stripped him naked and bandaged his wounds yesterday, and he felt hot and his face turned red.
