Chapter 80 Awakening
After a few faint spring thunders, the first rain of spring fell in the capital. Raindrops hung from the dim sky, hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows and then slowly falling along the glass, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Cheng Che's eyes kept following the tallest and largest raindrop. It was running fast, as if it was in a hurry, leaving wet traces along the way. After a while, it was covered by an even bigger raindrop, and disappeared together.
"Cheche, are you awake? Get up and take your medicine, okay?"
Li Zimai thought he hadn't woken up yet.
After that night, Cheng Che cried and broke down from time to time. When he was tired of crying, he would lie in his arms and fall asleep. After waking up, he would either be in a daze or in tears. If Li Zimai said a few words to him, he would lose his temper. After venting his anger, he would start crying again. After crying, he would ask Li Zimai to hold him and sleep again. This went on for more than half a month.
Although he could speak, his emotions were very unstable. He would either remain calm and silent, or break down and cry.
The doctor said that the previous condition had not been completely cured, and his last fainting was a trigger that exacerbated Cheng Che's condition. His originally completely closed mind was suddenly broken and reshaped, so Cheng Che was sometimes conscious and sometimes not.
The worst thing about this situation is that it will drain Cheng Che's body. His body cannot withstand such emotional changes from ice to fire. The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine to calm him down.
But taking too much medicine would affect his memory and hurt his stomach, so Li Zimai discussed with the doctor about finding a Chinese medicine doctor to regulate his body. The doctor said that he must take the medicine on time every day. Chinese medicine has a long course of treatment and slow effect, so try not to miss a meal.
The four meals a day of unpalatable Chinese medicine did make Cheng Che feel resistant. At first, Li Zimai could coax him to drink it, but later it was no use at all. He refused to drink it and even got angry and threw bowls. Once, he burned Li Zimai's hand in his temper, which made him even angrier. He hid in the quilt and cried, and said he was annoyed with Li Zimai. Li Zimai took a long time to coax him into submission.
Although he didn't smash the bowl after that, he was annoyed by the sight of Chinese medicine. Li Zimai came up with another idea and drank it himself first before feeding it to Cheng Che.
Cheng Che liked to kiss him, and this method worked until today, but now, after he finished drinking the medicine, Cheng Che still hooked his neck and kissed him, sticking his tongue in and stirring it around, and even touching Li Zimai's upper jaw, asking him to move his tongue.
"Cheche...Cheche, are you awake?"
Li Zimai left his lips and asked him softly, "Do you want to go to the living room and watch a movie?"
Cheng Che shook his head, reached out to pull at his collar, rubbed his head to lick Li Zimai's Adam's apple, and whispered: "...I want to use you."
Li Zimai was sure that Cheche was sober now. Only when he was sober would he say "I want to use him" in such a shameful and forced calm voice, but Li Zimai really couldn't get hard anymore.
Let’s not talk about whether Cheng Che’s body can take it or not. He really can’t get hard now. He is impotent, a complete impotent monster. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, this is indeed the fact. How should he tell Che Che that his ex-boyfriend has become an impotent monster.
Cheng Che was not happy to see that he did not respond, but he did not say anything. After all, they were still in a relationship and if they went to bed, they would just be friends with benefits.
"Never mind. I'm not in the mood."
Cheng Che buried himself in the quilt again.
Li Zimai hugged him from behind and said, "There's been too much going on at school lately. We need to save some energy."
School had already started for a long time. When Cheng Che was awake, he said he wanted to go to class. Li Zimai was afraid that he might be exposed to unknown stimulation at school and his condition would get worse. He kept coaxing him to get enough rest before going, and also said that he would bring back all the lessons and homework from school. Only then did Cheng Che agree not to go to school.
During the day, when Cheng Che was in good spirits, he would read books, draw pictures, and do his homework in the study. Li Zimai also taught him many new things and took him to learn anything interesting in order to activate his brain. His Che Che was a genius in the school, and his ability could not be ruined because of an illness.
Cheng Che was slow to react at first and couldn't remember many shortcut keys. He would lose his temper every time he made a mistake. Li Zimai coaxed him patiently, saying that it was because he was sick and it was not that Cheche was not well. Cheng Che was depressed and unhappy, but Li Zimai discussed new things with him and he forgot about it.
When they were dating, Li Zimai discovered that Cheng Che was actually very much like a child. He needed to be coaxed, was possessive, had no sense of security, and would often sulk without telling him. It was just that he had been used to enduring it for so many years that he grew up to have such a withdrawn personality.
After the outburst, his personality changed a lot. He would express his unhappiness directly to let Li Zimai know that he was angry. His possessiveness also emerged. When Li Zimai made a phone call, he would listen and ask who it was. He would hug Li Zimai at all times and ask Li Zimai to say that he loved him.
Sometimes he would feel very conflicted and annoying, and would ask Li Zimai whether he loved his old self or his current self. No matter what Li Zimai answered, he would not be happy, and would say in a sarcastic tone as before: Anyway, we haven't gotten back together, we are still ex-boyfriends.
Li Zimai was afraid before that when he sobered up he would say that he wanted to break up with him, but he was not afraid anymore. It was obvious that Cheche could not live without him, but she was just harsh with words.
"...Li Zimai, don't you love me anymore?"
Li Zimai asked without getting tired of it: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Che made a muffled sound from under the quilt, "Before... before, you always wanted to do it to me at any time, but now you don't even want to stick out your tongue when I kiss you."
Li Zimai can't say: I am impotent.
"I wouldn't mind that."
He reached in and rubbed Cheng Che's belly, negotiating with him, "You're all bones now, with no meat on your butt. Can you make our first reunion a little more beautiful?"
Cheng Che squeezed his hand and said, "If you don't let me whore you, then don't touch me. I haven't reconciled with you yet."
Li Zimai teased him again, "Brother Che is still angry, can you please stop being angry? Remember how long ago it happened?"
"He kissed you."
"I didn't kiss you."
"How would you know if you were drunk? You kissed me when you were drunk last time."
"Even when I'm drunk I still have radar. I can recognize Brother Che."
"Did you also kiss me because you recognized me that time?"
Li Zimai immediately changed the subject: "Xige said he would come to see you in a few days. Should we go out for dinner or eat at home?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Cheng Che is sick, but not to the point of being mentally ill.
Li Zimai didn't want him to know that he had been planning this for a long time and was very scheming, so he simply blocked his mouth and kept nagging him. He only avoided the topic after going back and forth several times and kissing Cheng Che until he fainted.
Yang Mingxi brought Lu Jiayi with him to visit. Of course, he agreed to bring people here only after he was sure that Lu Jiayi had no bad intentions towards Cheng Che.
Lu Jiayi's exact words were: "I just went to see Senior. It's been so long, I've figured it out a long time ago. Senior, that scumbag... and your Li Shen are not the kind of people who can get involved. And I don't necessarily want that kind of relationship with Senior. I was just so shocked that my brain couldn't react."
Lu Jiayi had seen them many times in the community. The first time he met him, he went up to say hello and wanted to ask if Cheng Che had dealt with his family affairs. However, Cheng Che didn't recognize him and was scared when he saw him coming, so he hid behind Li Zimai.
Lu Jiayi went home that night and cried under the quilt. He never thought that his senior would become like this. He always protected him and was so strong.
Later, Lu Jiayi would occasionally see Li Zimai taking Cheng Che for a walk in the garden downstairs. Sometimes Cheng Che's shoelaces would come undone, and he would squat down to tie them for him, and sometimes he would hold a cup to feed him water. Lu Jiayi thought the scumbag wouldn't be able to hold on for long, but the scumbag did this every day, taking care of his senior in every possible way.
Lu Jiayi asked himself, he couldn't do it, at least he couldn't take care of her personally.
He knew that Li Zimai's status was much more noble than his. He could have hired professionals to take care of Cheng Che, but he didn't. He took Cheng Che's hand every day without getting tired of it, in the garden, in the supermarket, and in the underground garage.
Cheng Che gradually got better, gained some weight, and his hair grew longer. Perhaps because he didn't go out to work much, he looked younger. He was not an adult when he went to college, and now he looked even younger. He followed Li Zimai timidly, like a child.
Lu Jiayi observed them for several months and concluded that he was the pervert.
After knocking on the door, Cheng Che came to open it.
Yang Mingxi had heard that Cheng Che had recovered and wanted to come see him, but Li Zimai said that Cheng Che was not fully recovered and he was afraid of scaring him, so he waited until now to come.
Cheng Che seldom spoke in the dormitory before. Apart from necessary hygiene issues, he almost never took the initiative to communicate with Yang Mingxi. It was Yang Mingxi who tried to find ways to talk to him, and Cheng Che would reply a few words out of politeness.
The relationship between the two had always been lukewarm. Later, Cheng Che broke up with Li Zimai, and Li Zimai asked Yang Mingxi to help take care of him. Only then did Yang Mingxi take a step closer to him. Later, Cheng Che cried in front of him, and Yang Mingxi realized that the cold and lonely Cheng Che might just be a disguise. Only then did he feel that Cheng Che was approachable.
But now, the situation is a bit awkward.
Although they were close, Yang Mingxi didn't want to be close enough to listen to their sex life. He was looking at Cheng Che's expressionless face, and his mind was full of that unspeakable ambiguous voice.
"Change your shoes, what are you standing there for?"
Lu Jiayi sat at the entrance and poked his arm, "What are you thinking about? Why is your face red?"
Yang Mingxi quickly jumped away, goose bumps all over his body, and warned righteously: "Don't touch me, no man can touch me now.
Lu Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and called him an idiot.
After entering the living room, Yang Mingxi looked into the kitchen and saw his two roommates sitting side by side, one cooking and the other chopping vegetables. It was a scene of an old couple's life. Yang Mingxi couldn't help but feel relieved. The most competitive talent in the school had been internally digested, so his chance of finding a girlfriend was just around the corner.
Seeing that Cheng Che had recovered almost as before and was even flirting with the scumbag again, Lu Jiayi felt bad. How could his senior be worthy of the scumbag?
While eating, Lu Jiayi kept staring at Li Zimai, wondering why his senior looked at him so differently. Wasn't it just that he was a little more handsome, a little taller, came from a richer family, and was a better student...that's all? He had so many messy ex-boyfriends.
Lu Jiayi always remembered this. If Xu Sinian hadn't been quiet at the moment, he would have remembered it for the rest of his life.
Li Zimai has been observing Cheng Che's expression to see if there is anything unusual on his face.
The doctor said that Cheng Che might not remember what happened when he was sick some time ago. The doctor described that Cheng Che was in another world at that time. He could only perceive the changes in his body and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Li Zimai felt regretful but also relieved. If Cheche thought of the silly things he had done during that time, she would definitely be too embarrassed to see anyone. After all, no matter how wild Cheche was in front of him, she still appeared very cool in front of others.
For example, he still speaks little and has few expressions, and frowns from time to time, just like now.
No, he frowned.
Li Zimai realized that something was not right and quickly winked at Yang Mingxi, asking him to finish his meal quickly and leave with his men.
When Lu Jiayi wanted to have another bowl, Yang Mingxi dragged him away, saying he had something to do at school and had to go back. As they were leaving, Lu Jiayi scolded him, "If you have something to do at school, then go ahead. Why are you dragging me away? I haven't finished eating yet."
"Why were you staring at Li Shen just now? Are you attracted to Li Shen again?"
Yang Mingxi more or less guessed that it must be Lu Jiayi's staring at Lizimai that pissed off Cheng Che. Cheng Che was now like a stick of dynamite. He was normal when he wasn't exploding, but when he was exploding, he could blow the house apart, and he specifically targeted people who were close to Lizimai. It was so scary that Yang Mingxi was even afraid that this possessiveness would destroy Lizimai.
Lu Jiayi yelled, "Bullshit! Even if I like you, I'd never fall for that scumbag!"
"Holy shit! You're into me!"
"Are you sick?"
The more Yang Mingxi thought about it, the more he felt that his situation was precarious. He had to find a girlfriend quickly to preserve the roots of his Yang family.
