The two of them, one was leaning on the other’s shoulder while the other was just standing in silence for a few minutes. Only when Zuo Yi’s voice rang outside the door did they regain their wits.
“Bro?” Zuo Yi glanced at the room and still didn’t see Zuo Bo and Long Chen so he called him again. Just as he was thinking they were probably not here, Zuo Bo came out of the bathroom with Long Chen.
Seeing that, Zuo Yi was stunned for a moment, because he felt that it was not the right time to come over, but now it would be very embarrassing to say anything to disturb him. Therefore, he had no choice but to break the silence and say, “Long Chen, let me check your body.”
‘Oh my god. I’m such a dumba**. It’s not easy for Zuo Bo to have the chance to be alone with Long Chen. What am I doing here now?’
Zuo Yi scolded himself for being so dumb, but he came here in a hurry because he was worried about Long Chen’s health.
Long Chen didn’t say anything but walked to the sofa beside him; he seemed to be implying Zuo Yi to do his job.
Zuo Yi looked at Zuo Bo apologetically and then walked to Long Chen.
Zuo Bo, on the other hand, was still standing there, but his eyes were still fixed on Long Chen.
Looking at Long Chen who was undergoing the examination, he did not take a step away for a long time. After a while, he rummaged into his pocket for a cigarette to smoke, but he then stopped because he thought Long Chen was still a patient now, and it was not really good for him to smell that second-hand smoke at this moment.
“Well, the good news is that it was just an ordinary anesthetic. It won’t be a big burden to your body. Maybe you still feel weak now, but you will recover your strength after you get a good sleep.”
After the examination, Zuo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then suggested Long Chen to rest so the efficacy of the medicine would go away slowly.
Long Chen didn’t say anything about that, because he did feel a bit sleepy and tired.
“I’ll be sleeping here on your bed.” He said that and then walked to Zuo Bo’s bed on his own without waiting for Zuo Bo’s answer and lay down.
Zuo Bo found it quite unbelievable; he dared not even think about Long Chen sleeping on his bed before.
Just at this moment, Long Chen turned over and said, “You will be here, right?”
Zuo Bo was stunned for another second, but he also said in a hurry, “I will stay here for as long as you need me to. You can rest assured!”
At this time, the sadness in Zuo Bo’s heart was all gone because Long Chen did not turn around coldly and left. Although he was facing him with his back, he was already satisfied for being able to talk to him so peacefully.
Hearing this, Long Chen smiled slightly, but he then said calmly to Zuo Yi, “Check your brother’s face for me. His face is probably swollen by now.” Then he added, “I’m going to sleep now.”
Though he sounded totally indifferent when he said that, the warmth in his words could still be sensed. That was obviously his way of tsundere.
Zuo Bo covered his face with his big hand; then he suddenly cracked a wry smile, because he felt that Long Chen was offering him a truce so that he would not be so embarrassed.
Seeing that the atmosphere between them was good, Zuo Yi was relieved. Just as he was going to check Zuo Bo’s face, Zuo Bo waved his hand and said it was unnecessary.
Zuo Yi took a look at him, but he also felt that Zuo Bo wouldn’t care about this kind of minor injury at all, so he left with the medical kit in his hands for he wanted to give Zuo Bo and Long Chen more private space.
After Zuo Yi left, Zuo Bo also walked to the sofa and sat down; then he looked at Long Chen who was lying on the bed with his back against him.
Long Chen didn’t fall asleep. He could still feel Zuo Bo’s every action. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to do. Long Chen said, “Don’t you always want to climb onto my bed? Why don’t you try now?”
There was no telling whether it was a provocation or an invitation.
