The two men sat on their beds, chatting after they were done with breakfast. In the middle of their conversation, the special care nurse that Mr. Elite had requested for had arrived. But, Yi Hang found an excuse to send her away and continued the conversation. They had somehow pa.s.sed the time in this manner till noon came round. Ye Shuichuan hadn't come to visit yet so Qi Le took some money out of his wallet and and got the special care nurse to buy them food.
Just when the food arrived, his cellphone started ringing. When he saw the word "Ge" on the screen, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and prepared to deal with the original owner's older brother, βh.e.l.lo?βγγ
Ye Shuichuan asked from the other end of the line, βXiaoyuan, have you eaten yet? Is there anything you're craving?βγγ
f.u.c.k, he prepared himself for nothing.β¦. Qi Le remained silent for three seconds before answering βI'm eating now, you don't need to get anything.βγγ
βOk then, I'll get you some fruit.βγγ
Yi Hang saw him end the call with a dull expression on his face and raised an eyebrow, βThe man from yesterday?βγγ
βMmm, watch yourself. Or else you'll have to drink motherwort again.βγγ
βIsn't it all your fault? Why is Laozi so miserableβ¦..β Yi Hang said, only hear a click. He froze, he wouldn't be here so soon, would he? He looked up and shrank in fear, βDarling, don't you have to go to work?βγγ
Mr. Elite walked in, βYour sister forgot to take the medicine that she bought yesterday. I came to get it for her.βγγ
It was just another excuse to trick himβ¦.
Qi Le kept his head lowered as he ate. Yi Hang was upset but didn't dare show it so he could only sit in silence. A certain someone then looked for medicine in a dignified manner, βWho opened it?βγγ
Yi Hang sat on the side, concentrating on his meal. Mr. Elite looked at him, βXiao Hang, did you drink a packet of motherwort?βγγ
Yi Hang suddenly choked and looked up innocently, ββ¦β¦ Me?βγγ
Mr. Elite looked into his little eyes and stroked his face, βIt's okay. If you like it, I'll leave you this box.βγγ
ββ¦ No, you misunderstood.βγγ
Qi Le stared fixedly at his own meal, thinking to himself that if it were him, he would've long fought to death with a certain someone. He calmly finished his lunch, and poured himself a cup of water. Right then, Ye Shuichuan walked through the door.γγ
βI just met with the doctor. He said that he'll need to observe you for another two days, and if there aren't any problems, you can be discharged. Have you recalled anything?βγγ
βNo.βγγ
βWell, don't push yourself. I'll go wash the fruits.β Ye Shuichuan put his bag down, picked a few apples and went out. Qi Le and Yi Hang looked at Mr. Elite almost at the same time. The latter hadn't paid any attention to them. He merely looked at the closed door and calmly concluded, βNutjob.βγγ
Qi Le calmly drank his water; Yi Hang wanted to cry out, f.u.c.king h.e.l.l! What's wrong with was.h.i.+ng a few apples? Even that makes him a nutjob! Just where the h.e.l.l did your three views disappear to?!γγ
Qi Le was somewhat uneasy, βYou said last night that there were no normal people around me. Can you give have an example?βγγ
Mr. Elite looked at him, βTwo men fight like it's the end of the world one moment and the next they're like best buddies, instantly reconciled. Is that normal?"γγ
βIt's no biggie.β Qi Le guessed that this man was talking about Ye Shuichuan and Tranny. He couldn't help but look down on the man, he couldn't even handle such a small matter, just how was he anything like a successful elite man?γγ
βYou will understand what I mean later,β the man glanced at him and calmly changed the subject. βIf someone hates you, hardly looks at you, and suddenly asks you to climb up a mountain and wait for him to watch the sunrise together, would you go?βγγ
βNo.β Qi Le didn't even need to think before he replied, βHe must be messing with me. I'm not stupid eitherβ¦.. uh, who are you talking about? Did he really go?"γγ
βMhmm, apparently, after waiting for two days on the mountain, his friend finally found him and dragged him back. He ended up being seriously ill. Isn't he stupid?βγγ
Qi Le's forehead twitched as he thought to himself that the man must be talking about the original owner of this body. He guess that Mr. Elite must've said all of that in retaliation for looking down on him earlier. But then, he suddenly thought it was strange; Ning Xiao didn't look like the kind to deliberately torture someone like that, why did he ask him out? γγ
Yi Hang, not knowing the inside story, nodded in agreement and laughed like a dimwit, βWhat an idiot! Doesn't he have a brain?βγγ
Qi Le, ββ¦β¦βγγ
βYou're so smart,β praised Mr. Elite, stroking him with satisfaction. βYou know that person too. Guess who it is?βγγ
Yi Hang finally felt that something was wrong. He looked at a certain someone who sat there in silence, then bowed his head while he played with his fingers. Mr Elite didn't mind him ignoring himself. The answer was clear enough. He looked at Qi Le and asked, βAfterwards, the man named Ning Xiao managed to coax you with only three words.βγγ
Qi Le recalled the original owner's abnormal personality, β Don't tell me it's βI love you' or' I'm sorry'?βγγ
βNope.βγγ
βThen what was it?βγγ
Mr. Elite looked at the time, raised Yi Hang's chin and gave a goodbye kiss, βI'm going to work.β He left immediately after, his figure soon disappearing.γγ
f.u.c.k! He actually left after stirring his curiosity! Qi Le was about to lose his s.h.i.+t when Yi Hang, on the side, suddenly came back to his senses and angrily tore his sheets, βAh, ah, ah! That didn't just happen! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, that was my first kiss!βγγ
Mr. Elite had already left so it was pointless for Qi Le to chase after him. He slowly cooled down only to see someone else still rolling in bed, biting the quilt as he threw the pillow back and forth. Qi Le was about to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye and quickly yelled, βShut up and take your medicine! βγγ
βScrew the d.a.m.n medicine!β Yi Hang shouted back but then he seemed to sense something and looked back in horror. He saw Ye Shuichuan standing at the door staring at him coldly. He choked, picked up a packet of motherwort with trembling hands, poured it into the cup and drank it all. Then he lay flat on his bed and pretended to be dead.γγ
Ye Shuichuan circled around him, βI still find it so amazing!βγγ
Qi Le quickly drew him to his side and stared fixedly at him, βDo you know what those three words are?βγγ
Ye Shuichuan looked puzzled, ββ¦Huh?β
P.S. Sorry I missed yesterday's release. I'm down with a really high fever, so updates these next few days might not be on time. Bear with me as I drown myself in chicken soup and Advil.
