n

n…… Chi Xiaochi is awake.

nThe bombshell news brought countless journalists and old fans in tears to the hospital, but lucas managed to keep them out.

n”Don’t you worry, ah.” Lucas fed Chi Xiaochi the porridge, one bite at a time, “I’ve invested some of the money in your account, and apart from paying off the hospital bills, I’ve earned you a flat back.”

n

n

nChi Xiaochi: “Ooh. I thought I was going to be selling on the street when I got back.”

n”Just kidding. Who am I?” Lucas said smugly, “You’re lucky to have met me, my family has plenty of money and doesn’t care about your little piece of **, otherwise, someone else would have known your password, you’d be lying dead and singing a song for you, you wouldn’t have anywhere to cry.”

nChi Xiaochi said sincerely, “Miss tony, you are my sister.”

nLucas made a move to hit him, but in the end he didn’t let go.

n

n

nChi Xiaochi asked him, “The studio didn’t let you transfer anyone else?”

n”No.” lucas stirred the porridge warm in a circle, “after you left, the studio signed a few more, just nothing interesting, now I’m the second boss of your studio ……”

nOnly then did he realise that he was pointing his spoon at Chi Xiaochi and said, “You expect me to serve someone else? I’m at least a master at home, but it’s your **ing luck. It’s enough to serve you as a living ancestor for the rest of my life, how much longer do you want me to be a messenger?”

nChi Xiaochi knew exactly how to calm lucas’ anger and opened her mouth, “Ah.”

n

n

nlucas dutifully raised his spoon to feed him, “Are you still going to act when you’ve recovered?”

n”Not necessarily.” Chi Xiaochi says, “Having died once, it’s time to enjoy life more in the future.”

n”You poo poo poo!” lucas was in seventh heaven, picking up the grapefruit peel used to freshen the air and wiping his mouth, “You won’t die if anyone dies.”

nChi Xiaochi was weakly raising her hands in surrender when the doctor came to check on her.

nAfter the customary questioning of Chi Xiaochi’s physical condition, the doctor closed the chart and smiled, “Mr Chi, you are recovering well enough to start drawing up a rehabilitation plan. The nurses and rehabbers have been selected.”

nLucas was the first to ask: “Is your mouth tight? Are you smart?”

n

n

nThe young doctor was smiling and looked like he knew lucas well enough: “Don’t worry, it was exactly what you asked for, professionalism and all the certificates.”

nHe handed lucas the Wen folder containing copies of the certificates and added, “The rehabber had plans today and couldn’t make it, but the caregiver did. Mr Ikari, would you like to meet?”

nAfter confirming that Chi Xiaochi was still in good spirits, Lucas nodded for Chi Xiaochi in the manner of the head of the family.

nThe doctor greeted the door.

nA figure pushes open the door of the ward and paces in from outside.

nThe doctor introduced, “Senior carer, Lou, Lou Ying, 24 years old, specially recruited.”

nAt the end, he added, “I hear it’s still a real fan of Mr. Chi’s.”

nThe face of the visitor, and the figure wrapped in a clean uniform, was so dazzling that lucas was lost in thought for a moment.

n

n

nHe swallowed slightly and teased, “Twenty-four …… is a little young.”

nLou Ying said gently, “Yes. But I’m a current doctor at Central Medical University.”

nlucas: “……”

nHe almost blurted out, “Then why did you come here to work as an escort?

nBut, thinking of what the doctor had just said about “true fans”, he shut up.

nAfter all, the Wen document in hand does not appear to be a forgery, and such a person, with such a temperament, should not be a swindler either.

nlucas was still looking Lou Ying up and down with the venomous eye he had acquired in the entertainment industry when the doctor came to the door and said to lucas, “Sheng Tang, come out for a moment, there’s something I want to talk to you about, it’s about those reporters outside ……”

n”Don’t call me that name!” lucas screamed, “I’m going to have bad luck when I say that name!”

nLucas grew up weak and sickly, and always believed that his name was too big for his little luck, but his parents were not superstitious at all, insisting that it was the name his grandfather had given him before he died and forbidding him to change it.

n…… is not sure whether it has been handed good luck or ushered in bad luck.

nAfter the doctor smilingly took the fuming lucas out of the room, Chi Xiaochi and Lou Ying were the only ones left.

nYoung Lou Ying took one step to the bedside, bent down and greeted politely, “Hello, Chi.”

n”Twenty-four years old? A doctorate in medicine?” Chi Xiaochi, who had only just learned to sit, and whose body was weak from sitting for so long, could not help but smile from the bottom of his heart at the face in front of him, “When did you study for your doctorate?”

n

n

nLou Ying answered, “The fifth world.”

nChi Xiaochi: “Is this the new identity you’ve chosen for yourself?”

nOn his return, he has restored Lou Ying’s free agency and given her the freedom to set her own new identity.

nAs the new Lord GOD, he still has that power.

n”Hmm.” Lou Ying touched his leg lightly, “You can recover with the power of Lord GOD.”

nChi Xiaochi whispered to him, “I’m a public figure, so I’m afraid to scare them if I’m walking like a man all of a sudden.”

nLou Ying took him around the waist, removed the soft pillows from behind him, and cranked the adjustment valve on the side of the bed to flatten his body a little.

nChi Xiaochi was still a little unconvinced: “Why did you choose someone younger than me? What, you think I’m old?”

n”No.” Lou Ying explained good-naturedly, “It’s because I’m afraid you think I’m older than you.”

nAs she spoke, Lou Ying leaned in close to Chi Xiaochi’s ear and laughed softly in an airy voice, “Don’t you like it? …… brother.”

nChi Xiaochi’s ears tingled for a moment, but she had no strength to push him away, so she let him hold her for a while.

nWhen Lucas pushed in again, Lou Ying was holding the TV remote control and asking Chi Xiaochi which channel she wanted to watch.

nChi Xiaochi’s face was not bad, it was rosy and she didn’t mind the care of the new caregiver, so it was a relief.

nRehabilitation is extremely hard work.

nLucas watched a few times, wincing at the sweat pouring off Chi Xiaochi’s face and the white paper-like cheeks.

nHe captured Chi Xiaochi panting in the arms of her new caregiver and considered releasing a few images of Chi Xiaochi’s day-to-day life to reassure fans.

nBut that’s all lucas think about.

nTo the outside world, Chi Xiaochi is definitely a fishy character, with a tidal wave of fans, and a lot of black fans mixed in with the hopeful and prayerful fans.

nThey are so vocal about their belief that Chi Xiaochi may not be able to stand up, and even if he does, it would be a pipe dream for him to return to the film industry after four years of obsolescence.

nThe swarm of flies is indeed infuriating, but even lucas is not sure if Chi Xiaochi will make it through the rehab, and will have to confirm his return to basic walking ability before informing the public of his condition, which will give fans a piece of mind while slapping black people in the face.

n…… Moreover, in this photo, Chi Xiaochi’s escort and him are too flirtatious, hugging and whispering, they look perfect for each other, and if they send it out, the fans will have to dance wildly again.

nlucas stared at the two men in the rehab room with a mixed expression.

nGradually he realises that Chi Xiaochi, who has never resisted physical contact with anyone, is not the least bit offended by Lou Ying’s touch.

nIf the two of them do meet fire with dry wood ……

nLucas regained the tension he felt when he was holding his mobile phone like a ticking time bomb, and for a moment he didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

nAnd in the rehab room, a glass wall away from the worried lucas, a sweat-soaked Chi Xiaochi wraps her arms around Lou Ying’s neck and sits down with a smile, “I can’t walk anymore.”

nLou Ying holds Chi Xiaochi, who has a weak back, and kneels down on one knee, easing him onto his lap and massaging his back and legs: “Take a rest. I’ll carry you to the side for a little hydration later.”

nChi Xiaochi took a couple of breaths, “It’s okay, I’ll walk again.”

nLou Ying asked softly, “Are you sure you don’t need the power to speed up the recovery process? I can help you.”

nChi Xiaochi replied, “It’s a great way to experience what it’s like to be rehabilitated. In case I need to do a relevant gig in the future.”

nLou Ying smiles.

n…… Well, it’s his family’s beloved Chi Xiaochi now.

nAs a subordinate, of course, you obey your master’s orders.

nThree months later, Chi Xiaochi returned to his grand villa after a press conference and a public announcement of his safety.

nAfter recovering her back strength, Chi Xiaochi has become so adept at wheelchair use that Lou Ying hears Chi Xiaochi drifting around the living room while she is doing the dishes.

nHe let out a low sigh with a smile.

n…… childish.

nLou Ying wiped the clean dishes with a dry cloth and placed them one by one on the rack, raising her voice to shout outside, “Be careful, don’t bump them.”

nChi Xiaochi said arrogantly back, “Damn cops, come and get me if you can.”

nLou Ying did as she was told and promptly apprehended Chi Xiaochi for speeding in his wheelchair, pulling a sticky note and sticking it on his head: “Ticket. Driving licence revoked.”

nWhen he returned to the kitchen, he cleaned up briefly, washed his hands, cut up a bowl of watermelon and returned to find Chi Xiaochi had really stayed put.

nThe light is cast from his side, casting light and dark shadows on his body.

nWith a slight twitch of her heart, Lou Ying walks slowly around to Chi Xiaochi and places the clear glass bowl with watermelon and a small fork in his arms.

nChi Xiaochi is still fixed by the “ticket”, rolling his eyes and looking at him with a smile, obviously unaware of the mistake.

nLou Ying leans over, opens his mouth and bites down on the bottom edge of the sticky note to remove the ticket.

nChi Xiaochi’s body stiffens slightly and she turns her face away slightly, with the illusion that her eyes are being kissed by Lou Ying.

nLou Ying said gently, “Any further offences and you’ll be locked up for six months, watch out.”

nChi Xiaochi blushed a little, but still pretending to be cheeky, she smiled and said, “Yes, sir.”

nAh Sir pushed his prisoner over to the coffee table and shortly after the pair had shared the after-dinner fruit, Chi Xiaochi said he wanted to take a shower.

nLou Ying helped Chi Xiaochi to undress and, wearing only an easily washable white t, sat by the bath with the intention of washing Chi Xiaochi’s hair.

nIt was then that he realised that all the bath products in the bathroom had been replaced with his usual type of lemon scent.

n”You went out grocery shopping today and I explained to lucas to do it.” Chi Xiaochi sat in the hot water and looked at him with a smile. In the steaming steam, his eyes were fox-like and watery, “I asked him to buy every lemon scent you can get on the market, and this one smells most like the one on you.”

nLou Ying opened the new package, squeezed out the shampoo and rubbed the fine lather in her palm: “And the rest.”

nChi Xiaochi said without changing his face, “It’s stuffed under our bed.”

nLou Ying laughed helplessly and closed her foamy fingers around his hair, admonishing him, “Wasteful.”

nChi Xiaochi stretched her legs comfortably in the hot water, tilted her neck back, reached around Lou Ying’s neck and lowered her voice, “I’m happy.”

nLou Ying leans in and drops a kiss on the tip of his nose, a tacit acknowledgement of his caprice.

nThe bath took a full hour. Neither of them was in a hurry to do anything, and the time passed like water running underneath them, giving off a foggy, drowsy, warm vapour.

nAfter scrubbing, Lou Ying wipes the water off his body.

nChi Xiaochi : “Bathrobe.”

nLou Ying got up to get it, but as he was helping Chi Xiaochi to half-drape the robe over his body, Chi Xiaochi took his hand and guided him to the right pocket of the robe.

nLou Ying didn’t think much of it and took the inside out for a few seconds before she realised what it was and blushed most of the way before she could say anything.

n…… The tube of ointment, the opening of which had been screwed loose, had a faint sweet creamy flavour.

nChi Xiaochi tugged her robe over her legs, as if unintentionally, and tilted her chin slightly, provocatively, “This smells the way I like it. Listen to me.”

nSince his return to the real world, Chi Xiaochi has been slowly adding surprises to the home, but little does he know that Lou Ying is an endless source of surprises in his own right.

nLou Ying, wordless and silent, picks Chi Xiaochi up straight across the room, his bathrobe sliding right off him.

nChi Xiaochi took a small breath, but her arms were wrapped around Lou Ying and she wouldn’t let go, burying her face in her shoulder like a quail.

nAfter putting Chi Xiaochi firmly into bed, Lou Ying unbuttons her soaked shirt one by one, noticing that the person on the bed has unobtrusively pulled the covers over her body again.

nLou Ying asked him, “Afraid?”

nChi Xiaochi gave a little laugh and didn’t answer, but there was a slight tremor in his voice, and his hand was already unconsciously gripping the edge of the pillow.

nLou Ying asked, “Turn off the lights.”

nChi Xiaochi replied in an airy tone, “Off.”

nThe lights went out and Chi Xiaochi felt a cold breeze and the familiar scent of lemon burrowing into her blanket, and then the hot body against her.

nIn the darkness, where nothing is visible, the touch of skin is magnified a thousand times, and Chi Xiaochi can clearly feel the restrained and gentle force of the arms around her body.

nHe unconsciously lifted his back:” Lou Brother ……”

n”Shhh.” Lou Ying said in a very serious tone a stone’s throw behind his ear, “Sorry, it’s my first time too, I’m learning.”

nIt was indeed their first time in this long year and a half relationship, with real bodies.

nBut when it came down to it, Chi Xiaochi still subconsciously tried to run away, but Lou Ying held him firmly from behind, not allowing him to recoil, and only said soothingly, “That’s good. Well done.”

nChi Xiaochi stopped resisting and shushed lowly.

nLou Ying didn’t laugh at his earlier bluster or his current nervous weakness, didn’t call a halt in mid-sentence or say anything inappropriate, just did what he had to do slowly, gently but firmly.

n”…… Brother.” He called out the name that Chi Xiaochi couldn’t stand, “Tell me where you’re uncomfortable and I’ll change it.”

nChi Xiaochi gave a “mmm”, as good as a cat.

nBehind his head came Lou Ying’s gentler and more restrained whisper, “Don’t look at me, think of me. Let’s …… take it slow.”

n……

nThe next morning Chi Xiaochi woke up slowly from a good night’s sleep.

nAfter the consciousness cleared, Chi Xiaochi quietly reached for his bedside phone.

nIt is said that a moment of spring is worth a thousand dollars. Chi Xiaochi looked up today’s gold exchange rate and found that he had made over four million dollars.

nHe rolled over quite happily before he realised how sore his back was and, with a low grunt, turned sideways and pulled Lou Ying’s arm, which was flat on his side, away from him and placed it around his waist.

nLou Ying was awakened by a loud noise.

nHe rolled over in a daze and kissed the corner of Chi Xiaochi’s lips as the system rebooted.

nIn a husky voice he greeted softly, “Did you sleep well last night?”

nChi Xiaochi doesn’t say yes or no, just leans quietly into his arms and enjoys the early morning sun with him.

nLou Ying also stopped talking and, while holding Chi Xiaochi, created a new database in her head, entering the brand new data she had obtained yesterday in relation to Chi Xiaochi.

nEvery point, every skin, everything.

nChi Xiaochi asked him, “Brother Lou, what’s on your mind?”

nLou Ying said, “I think we can sunbathe at home today.”

nChi Xiaochi smiled, “Okay, sunbathing.”

nThe gauzy morning light from the window falls on the two of them, warming the duvet that is soaked in their body heat. The two of them are curled up under the covers, drowsy and sleepy, like two cats snuggling together.

n
