Chapter : Where have you been fooling around?

══════════════════

Thanks to the He Group contract, Xu Zhun got a handsome commission fee.

Zhao Zhi contacted him to come to the hospital for a check-up, and Xu Zhun was extravagant enough to buy a bottle of domestic medicine.

This bottle of medicine cost him half a month’s salary and was like a luxury to him.

Zhao Zhi could see that he was living in dire circumstances and that Xu Zhun was not actively cooperating with the treatment.

He tried to persuade him, “Your illness is not incurable, and the three months of life the doctor has mentioned are in case you are not willing to accept the treatment. As long as you take the medicine as prescribed, there is still hope.”

Xu Zhun was aware that the disease could not be cured at all without a bone marrow transplant, and that he would have to take medication for treatment even after the transplant.

He had to save up for a long time to merely be able to buy a bottle of domestic medicine, so how could he afford the high cost of surgery?

Hearing Zhao Zhi’s words, he gently pulled the corner of his mouth, “I’ll take the medicine first! Live as long as I can!”

Xu Zhun hung his head, his dark eyes covered by long eyelashes, Zhao Zhi could not see his eyes, but when he heard his soft voice say “live as long as I can”, his heart was nonetheless a little uncomfortable.

He had been a doctor for many years and had seen so many patients that he wondered why Xu Zhun was the most heartbreaking.

There were many patients who were poorer and younger than he was, but Xu Zhun was not quite like them.

It seemed that he was more melancholic!

Zhao Zhi lowered his head to record today’s information on his appointment card, and as he stared at the computer, he said, seemingly casually, “Next time, ask your wife to come with you! There are some things I want to explain to her carefully.”

Xu Zhun’s eyes dilated slightly, obviously a little surprised: “I …… I don’t have a wife!”

“Then is it a boyfriend?” Zhao Zhi mentioned to his neck with his hand.

This action made Xu Zhun blush and he quickly put up his collar to cover the hickey left by He Chengyang last night.

“I …… My boyfriend is busy at work and he doesn’t have time to come over.”

Xu Zhun then added vaguely, “Doctor, if you have anything to say to me directly, just tell me. I can take it!”

He could even face death, so what else could he not accept openly?

“That …… love affair between lovers is best not to be too frequent, your body is not suitable for a high-intensity X-life.”

Zhao Zhi’s tone was calm and composed, but Xu Zhun’s face turned even redder.

He hung his head in shame and said quickly, “Doctor, I know! I’ll be careful from now on!”

Even his neck was flushed red and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

Zhao Zhi didn’t expect him to be as easily embarrassed  and immediately ended the topic: ”Alright! That’s it for today’s check-up! Take the medicine and go back! Remember to take your medication on time!”

“Thank you, doctor!” Xu Zhun took the consultation card and ran away.

The effect of the medicine was not bad, at the very least Xu Zhun vomited blood much less often.

He was desperately trying to get contracts so that he could afford the medicine. Maybe it was the good start with the He contract that led Xu Zhun to take on two more contracts, but soon enough he became very busy and came home late every day.

On this particular day, Xu Zhun did not set foot in his home until eleven o’clock at night.

The client he met today was very difficult and wanted him to drink with him. Xu Zhun was not a good drinker, and after two glasses, he became a little drunk.

Xu Zhun unlocked the door to his flat and leaned against the entrance door, panting slightly.

He was dizzy and a little uncomfortable as a result of the alcohol consumed.

He was about to go back to his bedroom to rest when his arm was suddenly grasped, and before Xu Zhun could regain his senses, his body was already being pulled over by the man.

He Chengyang’s angry voice came crashing down on him, “Where have you been fooling around?”
