Chapter 25 - After saying this, Ji Qingqing slowly tugged up the blanket that was covering Lu Lixing's body until it covered.... his face (3)
Zhou Ti asked, "Your health..."
"It's very good," Lu Lixing concisely answered. "You can go do your work. I'm hanging up.”
Lu Lixing ended the call. Sitting at his desk, he turned on his computer.
It was the middle of the night. The hour hand on the clock had just moved to 12.
Half an hour ago, the doctor had made the final check. The doctor probably wouldn't come back again until the morning.
He wasn't the type to be idle. He had been busy with work for over twenty years, and it had become his routine.
In contrast to Lu Lixing's crazy work schedule, Ji Qingqing had a healthy work life balance. After she promptly woke up at 7 AM, when she passed by Lu Lixing's room, she paused. Although her face had flushed red in annoyance after calling him hubby over twenty times last night and she had wanted to bite him to death then, Ji Qingqing still clearly remembered Elder Lu's words about caring for Lu Lixing.
Lu Lixing needed to take his medicine at 7 AM.
When she pushed open his door, she saw that his curtains were tightly closed, and the room was dark. Ji Qingqing tiptoed to his bed and saw that the bed was neatly made. Lu Lixing was properly sleeping in his bed.
As soon as she saw Lu Lixing, Ji Qingqing's mind played back the scene from last night. It was if there was surround sound speakers that kept playing the word “hubby” over and over.
Ji Qingqing ruthlessly glared at Lu Lixing. She poured a cup of water and brought over a few pills.
"Hey, it's time to wake up and take your medicine."
This life-saving medicine wasn't cheap, and the time for taking this medicine had to be done on schedule.
Seeing that he wasn't waking up, Ji Qingqing continued to call out, "Mr. Lu, wake up. You have to take your medicine."
There was no response.
Translator Ramblings: I hope Ji Qingqing will teach Lu Lixing to not be a workaholic. Even though he's mentally exhausted with work, it seems like he can't help himself but slip back into the only routine that he knows.
