Chapter 522: Living off others
Liu Mi's voice seemed a little abrupt in the quiet room.
Until he entered the room, Li Nanli never took his eyes off Fu Zhi.
He was lying on the bed, his face clearly sick, his hands half hanging by the quilt, the blue veins under his skin clearly visible, only the faint pink on his lips and those beautiful peach eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised, nonchalantly alluring.
"Liu Mi." The man stretched out his hand and pulled Fu Zhi, who was standing on the side, to his side.
There was a layer of fine mist by the window, and the reflection inside was not very clear. The slightly pale face was blurred for a moment under the light. When he stood up, his shirt was disheveled, revealing a large area of his white and weak collarbone.
Liu Mi looked up and met a clear and cold face. Even if he was seriously ill, it was not difficult to conceal the man's aura. Just half-lying there, it made people shudder.
"You go down first." His voice was a little cold.
Liu Mi was stunned for a moment, and came to a stop from crying with joy. Outside the door, Gu Yanqi and Jiang Jinshu heard the sound and seemed to be about to come in, but Liu Mi suddenly left the room first.
Jiang Jinshu reached out and tried to open the door.
Liu Mi stood guard outside the door and said slowly, "Grandpa Li is anxious to hold his great-grandson. Jiang Shao, please understand and do this. You really can't help Grandpa Li."
——
Inside the house, Liu Mi left, leaving only two people, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Li Nanli's lips, which were originally slightly raised, tightened a little after hearing Liu Mi's words. He looked at Fu Zhi who was standing beside the bed, "Did you go to the back mountain of Xiangyunzhai alone?"
The man's tone was a little angry, his peach blossom eyes were cold, and under the light, his handsome face was covered with frost.
Fu Zhi didn't know what he was angry about. She moved her eyes away from the scar on his shoulder with difficulty and said, "Hmm."
His expression became even uglier. He raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to his side. "Are you hurt anywhere?" He looked her up and down, his tone becoming more and more annoyed, and it was unclear who he was directed at.
"No." Fu Zhi shook his head and looked at him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
She just couldn't understand what he was upset about, and even thought he was not feeling well.
After a long silence, Li Nanli could no longer bear her misty eyes staring at him. He sighed, raised his hand, covered her eyes, and softened his tone, as if admonishing or coaxing her, "Zhizhi."
He said, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future. I know what I am doing and nothing will happen."
Fu Zhi blinked, and her long eyelashes touched the man's cold palm. When I looked down, I could see his hand hanging over the edge of the quilt, with an IV drip hanging from it.
Pale and weak.
That year, in Continent F, amidst the endless flames of war and corpses, there was also such a hand, a bloody hand, that covered her eyes and said to her, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out."
Fu Zhi was stunned, and her almond-shaped eyes, which were sparkling with mist, stared straight at Li Nanli.
"The tooth-mark-shaped scar on your shoulder," she pursed her lips, and finally, she couldn't help asking, "Is it in Continent F—"
"What?" He raised his eyes and met her gaze.
Perhaps he was not feeling well. The window had opened a crack at some point, and cold wind was blowing in through the crack. He raised his hand, put it to his lips, and started coughing violently.
"At once……"
Fu Zhi paused as he coughed. Seeing that he was not feeling well, she looked around, stood up, closed the window, and went to the coffee table not far away to pour a cup of hot water.
She carefully handed the hot water to his lips, very gently, as if she was taking care of something fragile.
A strange look flashed across Li Nanli's eyes. He licked his wet lips and asked again, "What did you want to ask just now?"
"……fine."
The drip rate of the IV drip hanging beside the bed was a little fast. Fu Zhi raised his hand and slowed down the speed for him. Worried that he was uncomfortable, he said, "Liu Mi said before that he was going to get a hot water bottle." Fu Zhi glanced at the time. Liu Mi didn't seem to have any intention of coming back, and he didn't reply to the message on his phone. "I'll go get it for you."
Having said that, she put her phone down beside the bed and was about to go out.
Li Nanli grabbed her wrist, his narrow eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her seriously for a moment. Under Fu Zhi's evasive gaze, he slowly said, "Little girl, there is something wrong with you." He pulled her to the bedside, his tone dangerous, "When my brother was sick before, you didn't care so much."
"……No."
Li Nanli looked at her in the warm yellow light. She had simply changed her clothes and washed her face. Her hair was still a little messy. She no longer had the aloofness and coldness of the past and looked particularly well-behaved.
After a pause, he stopped forcing her and laughed, "You're going to look for your brother alone. Are you so afraid that he will die?"
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, very seriously and earnestly.
Wang Rao wanted to send Xu Wei and Lu Jingqing back to the villa to ensure their safety. Shen Cizhou was not there, and there was a car race at Qiu Lingshan in the evening, so no one could rush to the back mountain at the same time as her.
But she didn't think so much at the time, and didn't even have time to make a phone call.
She went up the mountain alone to find Gu Yanqi and treat his wounds. Finally, she accidentally saw the scar on his shoulder.
She followed his strength and pulled the chair behind her, sitting in front of him. After thinking for a while, she felt that Li Nanli's body seemed too weak, so she said, "I'll protect you in the future." She thought of the pretty boy who handed her the room card at the banquet last time, and found a more appropriate word to say, "I can be your gigolo."
“…”
Li Nanli was probably stunned for a moment.
The tips of his ears were a little red, not sure if it was out of shame or anger. Under Fu Zhi's gaze, he stayed there for a long while, until Fu Zhi felt itchy and wanted to play games again. He spoke in a nonchalant tone, hooking her collar from behind, "Okay, I'll take the soft side, and you take the hard side."
After a two-second pause, he smiled again and added, "Brother is not talking about food."
Fu Zhi: “???”
There was a sound of "clang".
Liu Mi, who had just opened the door a crack and was preparing to deliver a hot water bottle.
Li Nanli's eyes swept over.
Liu Mi: “…”
"Well, you guys play, you guys play." Liu Mi bent down to pick up the hot water bottle and stepped back in panic.
It's really an educational experience.
In the past, Mr. Li was not a human being anymore. In the future, he might slowly learn to become a complete beast.
Treating a high school student like this is shameless! ! !
Too much! ! !
Thinking about it, Liu Mi took the door key, welded the door, and made up his mind that when he had money in the future, he would break down the door and rescue the fallen girl! ! !
——
Fu Zhi moved his eyes away from the door, stared at Li Nanli's fingers, and speculated about his words.
Under the man's light gaze, she understood everything and said word by word, "What? Are you going to punch me?"
