After Song Xuanhe was discharged from the hospital, Xiao Yuanmu moved his office back to the apartment from the hospital.
Louis came to complain about this several times, but Xiao Yuanmu remained unmoved. He would not leave unless necessary even when the Xiao family had something to do. Once, when Louis came to complain about how hard he was working, he complained to Song Xuanhe:
"Doctor Nathan said that your wound is fine and you can take care of yourself without anyone's care, but Xiao just doesn't want to go back to work. I don't think Xiao is worried about your health at all, but it seems that you left him and went on a trip in the blink of an eye."
Song Xuanhe was drawing a picture at the time. After hearing Louis' words, the pen in his hand paused, and he suddenly remembered the system's prompt the night before - there are fifteen days left until your last plot, and forty-six days left until you leave this world.
"But I don't think he needs to worry that much." Louis found a place to sit down and said, "There are not many dangerous places like Country X in the world. You went there before because you were not clear about the situation. Of course, you won't go there again. I really don't know what he is worried about."
After saying this, Louis suddenly widened his eyes, with a shocked expression as if he had seen the truth, and turned to Yang Jie on the side and said indignantly: "Yang, do you think it's because I injured my hand last time and had to rest for a few days, so Xiao wanted to use Song's injury this time to openly move the work to his home, and then if I ask him, he will use my last leave to deal with me, and finally put most of the work on me, so that I can't even rest on weekends!"
After Louis finished speaking, he believed what he said.
"Song." Louis said to Song Xuanhe with a serious face: "I sincerely invite you to visit RE tomorrow. It would be best if you can stay there for a few more days. I think our company's design can provide some inspiration for your design. I forgot to tell you before that our office building has won..."
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Yuanmu came in with a bowl of noodles, walked straight to Song Xuanhe and put the bowl down, took out his pen naturally, and handed him the chopsticks: "You just said you wanted to eat noodles."
In the past few days, Song Xuanhe has become accustomed to Xiao Yuanmu's immediate response whenever she mentioned it casually.
So she didn't get angry when he took away her pen, and just obediently held the chopsticks and ate noodles.
Louis looked at the two people with a shocked expression as if they had done countless smooth exchanges, and asked Yang Jie: "Do you think Xiao knows that we are here too?"
Yang Jie looked at Song Xuanhe, who was sitting on the bed and eating noodles quietly, and Xiao Yuanmu, who was standing beside him and reading his drawing, with complicated eyes. He retracted his gaze and said softly, "He just asked us what we were talking about."
Louis reacted: "Yes, if he didn't see us, he wouldn't have asked us what we were doing, but why did he only bring in a bowl when he knew we were there?"
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes fell on the draft. He didn't even look up when he heard it, and said calmly, "There's more in the kitchen. If you want to eat, go get it yourself."
Louis raised his chin and was about to say stubbornly that he didn't want to eat, but the way Song Xuanhe ate really whetted his appetite, and the aroma of the noodles made him swallow his saliva several times.
However, Xiao Yuanmu's disregard for his partner hurt his self-esteem.
Louis wanted to find someone who could share the same hatred and asked Yang Jie: "Yang, we won't... Yang?"
The only thing that responded to him was the space where Yang Jie had just stood, and there was only air.
Song Xuanhe kindly reminded: "When Xiao Yuanmu said you could go to the kitchen to get it, Yang Jie left."
Louis opened the door angrily and ran to the kitchen.
A minute later, Louis’ voice came from downstairs: “Yang, you are so treacherous!”
Song Xuanhe suppressed the smile on his lips and lowered his head to continue eating noodles. Xiao Yuanmu also suppressed the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes to look at Song Xuanhe, and asked: "Why don't you draw me today?"
"Because Xiao Huang likes my drawings very much." Song Xuanhe finished the last bite of noodles, put down his chopsticks and said, "So I drew a picture for it."
Xiao Yuanmu raised his eyebrows, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Did you make it fatter?"
"Of course not." Song Xuanhe pulled the book over, took a look at it, and said, "I also specially modified its body shape to prevent it from having an inferiority complex after seeing the painting."
Looking at the short, fat little dog in the painting that was almost round, Xiao Yuanmu asked, "Which one did you cultivate?"
"Its fur." Song Xuanhe said, "But in order to avoid distortion, I simply trimmed its fur."
Xiao Yuanmu: ...
"Do you think Xiao Huang won't like what I drew?" Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yuanmu.
"It likes it." Xiao Yuanmu returned the notebook to Song Xuanhe and said, "I have to go to the Xiao family today. I will let Yang Jie stay here with you. Zhou Nan and the others will come over in the afternoon. I will go home to cook dinner then."
"No need." Song Xuanhe said, "Let them go out to eat."
Xiao Yuanmu suppressed his brows and smiled, saying, "Okay."
After the two finished eating, Xiao Yuanmu briefly explained a few words to Yang Jie and left with Louis.
Song Xuanhe and Yang Jie were the only ones left in the apartment, staring at each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
"You..." Yang Jie looked away stiffly and asked, "Is your wound better?"
Song Xuanhe: "Much better."
"That's good." Yang Jie coughed, and seeing Song Xuanhe looking at him, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, thought for a moment and asked again: "Why did you go to Country X before? It's very dangerous there."
“Looking for Hashemi.”
Yang Jie nodded. He had heard some of it from Louis before. Compared to Xiao Yuanmu's anger and Louis' surprise, Yang Jie found it very easy to accept this reason.
In his opinion, Song Xuanhe was a person who was so reckless that he didn't care about other people's thoughts or his own safety. This was the case when he was with Xiao Yuanmu, and it was also the case when he went to meet Zhou Rong alone later. Even earlier, when he saw Song Xuanhe for the first time, he had already seen his recklessness and carelessness.
It is also because of this that he has always been pessimistic about the relationship between Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu.
Although he did not know Xiao Yuanmu before Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu were together, for some reason, he felt that he and Xiao Yuanmu had known each other for a long time even though they had only known each other for less than ten days. He felt that Xiao Yuanmu would definitely help him through the difficulties, and that he would always be loyal to Xiao Yuanmu and work for him in the future. Facts have proved that his idea was correct.
Moreover, many things that happened later also verified that he really understood Xiao Yuanmu, and understanding a person sometimes has nothing to do with how long you have known him.
In his opinion at that time, Song Xuanhe did not understand Xiao Yuanmu at all.
He didn't know what Xiao Yuanmu did at home after he quit his job. He didn't know whether Xiao Yuanmu took care of his body and ate on time. He didn't know what Xiao Yuanmu did for him. He didn't know how much Xiao Yuanmu liked him...
Yang Jie thinks that Song Xuanhe is not worthy of Xiao Yuanmu at all.
Because apart from his background and a fairly good-looking face, there is nothing about him that matches Xiao Yuanmu. To be honest, Song Xuanhe's appearance is not a good match for Xiao Yuanmu either. It's just that there are too few people in this world who can match Xiao Yuanmu's appearance, so Yang Jie reluctantly admits that Song Xuanhe's appearance is worth looking at.
Later, on Xiao Yuanmu's birthday, Song Xuanhe rushed to Xiao Yuanmu's apartment to see him off. Xiao Yuanmu was in a good mood until he left. From that moment on, Yang Jie felt that maybe Song Xuanhe was not as bad as he imagined, because in his opinion Xiao Yuanmu was the best person, no matter in which aspect.
That's why such a good person like Xiao Yuanmu could fall in love with Song Xuanhe. Maybe Song Xuanhe has many advantages that he hasn't seen.
Later, he followed Xiao Yuanmu to the United States, watched Xiao Yuanmu become more and more indifferent because of Song Xuanhe's lack of contact, watched Xiao Yuanmu occasionally jump for joy because of contact with Song Xuanhe, watched Xiao Yuanmu become more and more silent, watched Song Xuanhe only need a glance or a sound to hear Xiao Yuanmu's mood at the time, watched Song Xuanhe severely scold Xiao Yuanmu for not taking care of his body...
Yang Jie suddenly realized that as a bystander, he should never and indeed had no right to comment on the affairs between Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu.
From that moment on, Yang Jie felt that Xiao Yuanmu's choice was right. In this world, perhaps only Song Xuanhe could be a match for Xiao Yuanmu.
Moreover, he had always thought that Song Xuanhe didn't love Xiao Yuanmu at all, but in fact he was wrong. After accidentally seeing Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu in the painting last time, he already knew that Song Xuanhe loved Xiao Yuanmu no less than Xiao Yuanmu loved Song Xuanhe.
Two people like this are meant to be together forever.
However, Song Xuanhe's character of pursuing excitement and danger is not good for Xiao Yuanmu's current situation. He doesn't want any problems to arise between the two of them.
"Ah...are you adventurous?"
Song Xuanhe had already picked up the pen and was ready to continue painting, but suddenly heard Yang Jie, who had been silent for a long time, speak again. He took two seconds to react before answering: "I can't say I like it, it just happens when I feel like it."
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen to your family, friends and Brother Xiao if you were really in danger?"
Song Xuanhe's eyes flashed, and he smiled, supporting his chin and said, "The earth will not stop rotating because of the absence of any one person, and the same goes for people."
Yang Jie frowned and said, "But they will be very sad."
Song Xuanhe nodded and said softly, "Any separation is sad."
"Will you play with those things again in the future?" Yang Jie didn't understand Song Xuan's expression or what he said, so he asked directly.
"Which ones?"
"Skydiving, bungee jumping, and going to Country X to find dyes."
Song Xuanhe couldn't help laughing a few times and asked, "I'm not sure."
Yang Jie pursed his lips tightly and said, "I hope you can be sure, because Brother Xiao doesn't want you to have any accidents."
"Have you ever heard of this saying?" Song Xuanhe said with a curved face, "Tomorrow or an accident, I don't know which will come first."
"I've heard of it." Yang Jie looked away and said in a deep voice, "But I know even more that your parents still have another son without you, and your friends still have other friends without you, but if Brother Xiao loses you, he will have nothing."
