“Boss, I like you.” Bai Lu’s soft voice reached his ears through the earphones, and Pei Fuchen’s heart pounded wildly and uncontrollably.

“It’s the Qixi festival today, Boss.” After waiting for a long time and not receiving a response from Pei Fuchen, Bai Lixin spoke again.

His voice trembled slightly, with an almost crying tone, fragile like a daisy that had just bloomed after the spring rain.

When Pei Fuchen heard this, his heart throbbed.

Was today the Qixi festival?

“Okay, don’t cry.” Pei Fuchen heard Bai Lixin’s trembling voice, and hurriedly whispered, gently and soothingly, “Don’t cry.”

Bai Lixin sniffled, but the words still came out with a nasal tone, “Boss, I said I like you. Did you hear me? ”

Pei Fuchen nodded, but then he remembered that he and Bai Lixin could not see each other through the computer, so he hurriedly whispered, “Yes, I heard you.”

“I’m like men, boss. Do you feel repulsed that I like you and confessed my love to you? Do you feel disgusted? ” Bai Lixin hurriedly asked.

“No! How could I find you disgusting!”

I obviously like you more than I can say.

“Then do you like me? Like me as much as I like you. ”

I do! I like you! I love you so much that I can even dream about you!

Pei Fuchen’s heart roared, but his throat was getting drier and drier, “I…..I’m sorry, Xiao Lu, you asked too suddenly.”

When he said these words, Pei Fuchen felt as if his heart was dying. His heart was twitching violently, as if it was being squeezed and wrung by a giant, powerful hand.

He wanted to tell him that he was in love with him. He loved him so much that he could not wait to take him into his arms as soon as he met him.

“Boss, can I video call you then?” Bai Lixin asked cautiously, with hope in his voice.

A video call? Pei Fuchen’s eyes suddenly widened. No, no video call.

Even if he was crazy about Bai Lu, he must not let Bai Lu see his face.

In his mind, Pei Fuchen remembered what Bai Lu had told him about his impression of the “boss”, who was like a perfect guardian god in his mind.

But he wasn’t. He was a dying man, and a cold-blooded, heartless one at that.

Won’t Bai Lu be disappointed after seeing his face?

Pei Fuchen shook his head, a struggling look in his eyes.

No, this was the one thing he could not do. He wanted to maintain the image of perfection in Bai Lu’s mind; he wanted to be Bai Lu’s guardian god for as long as he lived. Even if he died, the image he left in his mind would be all good.

“Boss?” After not receiving an answer for a long time, Bai Lu’s cautious voice came through Pei Fuchen’s earphones again.

He instantly came back to his senses. He shook off the wild ideas in his head and said back, “Sorry, Xiao Lu, I don’t have a camera here.”

Bai Lixin paused, and only after a long time did he ask again, “Well then, boss, I can wait. Since you didn’t reject me, can you try to accept me?” If you don’t want to accept me, please reject me now. We can still be good brothers.”

“……”

Pei Fuchen bit his lower lip. He couldn’t bring himself to say the words of rejection? But to accept? He couldn’t do that either.

Bai Lu had a long life ahead of him, and he was not like him.

Pei Fuchen was at a loss for words, his eyes staring dully at the screen. Because it was the Qixi festival, the system notifications caused by the fireworks had long been overshadowed by the various shouts of others.

Yet the fireworks on the ground were still going off. The pretty pink hearts were like a single, thin, prickly needle, stabbing deep into his chest and eyes. It made his heart twitch and his eyes hurt.

He stared at the screen in front of him and at the stunningly beautiful Snow Feather Sect boy in colored neon clothing on the screen, and suddenly made a move that even he hadn’t expected.

He went offline and fled…..

Only after quitting the game, exiting the chat room, and shutting down the computer did Pei Fuchen react to what he had done.

He covered his face with his hands, burying his regretful expression. He had lost Bai Lu completely.

Even if Bai Lu was to have any kind of lover afterwards, it would not be him.

The thought of that quiet and cunning youth being embraced by another strange man made him feel like his heart was dead.

The old butler pushed the door open and was stunned at the sight of the young master sitting hunched over in his chair.

The young master was hunched over and covering his face. His expression was clearly invisible, but the feeling of sadness emanating from his body was so strong that he could feel it from far away at the door.

The old butler sighed and silently retreated to close the door carefully.

That night, Pei Fuchen sat silently in front of the computer desk, staring at the computer screen that had long since gone black, dazed for the rest of the night. The old housekeeper came in to bring a blanket for Pei Fuchen, but found that, under the faint light, Pei Fuchen’s eyes were still open, only that they were lifeless and lost in thought.

The old butler let out another long sigh and gently draped the blanket behind Pei Fuchen without saying anything more, and retreated.

Pei Fuchen sat in the study for the whole night, and by the next morning, before dawn, he began to feel some headache.

Staggering to his feet, he took two steps towards the door, but stumbled and fell to the carpeted floor in the blink of an eye.

As dawn broke, the old butler came to the study again.

When he pushed the door open, he found Pei Fuchen fainted on the floor!

The old butler was so shocked that he hurriedly called the driver and rushed to the hospital!

At the hospital, the attending doctor patted Pei Fuchen’s chest and asked, “At such an old age, why are you still staying up all night?”

The old butler was worried and hurriedly asked the attending doctor, “Doctor Huang, how is the young master?”

Doctor Huang smiled and reassured the old man, who was more than half a century old, “Uncle Xu, don’t worry, your young master just didn’t get a good rest last night, and fainted because of his anxiety and caught a cold. I’ll give him some Chinese herbs to regulate him later, no need to take western medicine. ”

The heart that had been raised to his throat finally fell back to his chest with the doctor’s words. The old housekeeper looked at the still unconscious Pei Fuchen and sighed again, “The young master is probably in love, and it’s his first love.”

The doctor’s eyes widened at the words, and he asked curiously, “How old is your young master, that he is just experiencing love for the first time?”

The old butler put his hand in a fist and coughed lightly, embarrassed, “Our young master has always been strict with himself. Any relationship that doesn’t aim at marriage is a hooligan, so how could he just fall in love casually? ”

“All right, fine.” The doctor waved his hand and said, “Anyway, it’s your young master. Even his fart is fragrant. Well, since there’s nothing wrong, let him have a good sleep in the ward. He was just given a bottle of glucose and a drip for the Qi clotting effect. He didn’t sleep all night last night either, so let him recuperate well. Because of your young master’s special situation, it is best to stay in the hospital for two days for observation. ”

The old butler nodded, “Yes, thank you, Doctor Huang.”

Doctor Huang waved his hand and yawned, “That’s alright. I’ll go and catch up on my sleep too. I had a major operation last night and didn’t sleep all night. ”

Standing at the door to see the doctor off, the old butler looked back at the still sleeping patient and closed the door. But just as he was about to close the door, there was a sudden, panting voice at the door.

It was a young man in his early twenties, only he was now panting heavily and anxiously looking in through the gap at his side.

Wasn’t this the same youth whom the young master hung out with? It looked like he had come to see the young master, but how did he know that something had happened to the young master?

The old butler smiled faintly and stood straight, “Hello, who are you looking for?”

Bai Lixin saw Pei Fuchen lying unconscious on the bed from under the old housekeeper’s armpit, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

If he had known that Pei Fuchen would react so strongly, he would never have forced him.

What a self-inflicted sin!

Bai Lixin twisted his arm fiercely with his hand, wishing he could slap himself a hundred times.”

Hello, I’m a friend of big brother Pei. I saw him being carried in. Is there something wrong with him? Can I go in and see him? ” Bai Lixin asked the old housekeeper anxiously, with a frown on his face.

The old butler saw the sincere expression on Bai Lixin’s face and smiled, “Please come in. The young master was upset yesterday and suffered from a cold. But he will be fine after a little rest. So please be quiet and don’t disturb his rest. ”

Bai Lixin nodded steadily and walked cautiously into the ward.

His steps were both quick and light as he walked to Pei Fuchen’s side, and the closer he got, the better he could see Pei Fuchen’s face.

He was lying quietly on the hospital bed, looking as if he was sleeping peacefully. However, his pale face and almost transparent lips betrayed him.

Bai Lixin sat on the chair in a dishevelled manner and reached out to take Pei Fuchen’s hand into his own.

His face was pale, and even his hands were cold.

He had never seen his lover so fragile, like thin ice that would break at the touch.

What the hell was he thinking yesterday? Why was he forcing him.

Bai Lixin clutched Pei Fuchen’s hand tightly and put it on his face to feel it, regretting it in his heart.

When the old butler saw the scene before him, he gave only a slight pause, then smiled gently as he walked out of the ward. Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door of the room.

Only after a long time did Bai Lixin breathlessly ask, [s419M, Can I use the dimensional points to heal him?]

[Of course you can, Lord Host.]

[Then, deduct points to cure all the diseases on Pei Fuchen’s body, except for the tumour!]

[Yes, Lord Host. Exploring Pei Fuchen’s physical ailments. Ding! Probe completed. Lord Host, Pei Fuchen, has no other illnesses. He is in excellent health, it is only because the doctor forbade him to exercise after the tumour that he has gradually weakened over a period of two years. After all, Mr. Pei Fuchen’s physical attributes are also B-rank. ]

[Did his physical attributes drop to B-rank?] Bai Lixin jerked when he heard these words from S419M, [I remember when I first came to this world, you once said that his body attribute was A-rank.]

[Indeed, Lord Host. But with the effects brought about by the tumor, not only was his mental power affected, but even his physical body was ravaged. Not just because of the tumor but also due to the non-stop medication. Even the best body, constantly ravaged by medicine, can have side effects. Sometimes the human body is not tormented by the disease itself, but by the psychological and physical stress from the disease.]

[According to you, there should be a backlog of toxins in his body caused by taking constant medication?]

[Yes, lord host.]

[Then can you get rid of the toxins?]

[Of course I can, Lord host. But this time, the toxin buildup is a bit deeper and will require a very large number of dimensional points.]

Bai Lixin said without pause: [What do I care about the number of dimensional points? Save him first! No matter how many you use, help me cleanse Pei Fuchen’s body of all the toxins.]

[Yes, Lord Host! Ding! Deducting 2000 points to cleanse the toxins from the body. Ding! Congratulations, Lord Host, the toxins have been completely cleared.]

Bai Lixin’s originally sad expression suddenly became cold, [S419M, tell me. Is this what you mean by ‘a very large number of dimensional points’?]

S419M grunted, [Yes! Those are 2000 points! With all the things you’ve done before, you’ve never used 2,000 dimensional points at once! You weren’t like this, Master! You used to be such a frugal person!]

Bai Lixin: […… Sorry, I shouldn’t have been so stingy before.]

Pei Fuchen was no longer as pale as he was before, and his hands were gradually starting to regain their warmth.

Bai Lixin stood up and interlocked his fingers with Pei Fuchen’s right hand, and his body slowly leaned toward Pei Fuchen’s face.

His face slowly approached Pei Fuchen’s handsome face, and Bai Lixin smiled gently, his eyes becoming tender.

It seemed that there had never been a life where his lover had lain so honestly on the bed and let him do whatever he wanted.

There was something tempting about his lover’s being quiet like that, too. He smiled and could not help but lower his face and gently kiss Pei Fuchen’s lips.

He tentatively pushed his tongue into Pei Fuchen’s slightly cold lips, slowly prying open Pei Fuchen’s teeth as he swept his tongue around like a nimble loach.

He licked every part of Pei Fuchen’s mouth for a long time before reluctantly withdrawing his tongue from Pei Fuchen’s mouth.

With his lips still pressed against Pei Fuchen’s, Bai Lixin gently opened his eyes, only to be met with a pair of clear eyes!

His eyes snapped open wide, and he jumped back like a frightened rabbit.

“Hahaha, you’re awake?” Bai Lixin’s cheeks flushed crimson as he stepped back slightly and waved his hands in disbelief.

He then wailed in his heart, [S419M, why did he wake up so quickly?]

[Lord Host, some of the dimensional points cleared away the effect of the drugs in the IV administered.]

[……]

Bai Lixin gritted his teeth and looked back at Pei Fuchen.

Pei Fuchen’s eyes were now clear, and he didn’t know when he woke up. He was now looking at Bai Lixin without blinking in confusion.

Pei Fuchen had never imagined that the moment he opened his eyes, the person who appeared in front of him was actually the person he had longed for.

And what was he doing?

He was sticking his tongue into his mouth in every possible way!

No, he must be dreaming!

Pei Fuchen looked at Bai Lixin, who had jumped to the side with a blushing face and let out a bitter laugh, “This dream is too real.”

With that, he turned his head to the side and closed his eyes.

A dream?

Bai Lixin raised one eyebrow. Young master, I kissed you for so long and you didn’t respond. And you still think it’s a dream?

Seeing Pei Fuchen’s face squared away with an indifferent expression, Bai Lixin sneered and walked straight to Pei Fuchen’s hospital bed again with a big stride.

Without saying a word, he climbed onto Pei Fuchen’s bed, pressed Pei Fuchen underneath him like a feline, and fiercely took Pei Fuchen’s lips.

Pei Fuchen was stunned.

The warm and tingling sensation from his lips was so real!

I didn’t hear from him for a day, and my thoughts became wild.

Pei Fuchen’s eyes were misty. Had he missed Bai Lu so much that he could dream so realistically?

Suddenly the corner of his lip hurt.

Bai Lixin saw Pei Fuchen wandering off and bit him.

Pei Fuchen’s eyes suddenly widened when he was bitten, and he looked at the young man who was pressing on top of him!

Seeing that Pei Fuchen had finally come to his senses, Bai Lixin let go of Pei Fuchen’s lips and lifted his head slightly. He hooked one corner of his lips to reveal a foxy smile and said, “Are you finally awake?”

!!!

This is real!

All of it was not a dream! Bai Lu was really beside him, and he was even kissing him!

When Bai Lixin saw that Pei Fuchen had finally realised that this was real and not an illusion, he lowered his head again and drove his tongue straight in, entering Pei Fuchen’s mouth again.

He deliberately used the tip of his tongue to scratch the back of Pei Fuchen’s tongue, and at once, Pei Fuchen felt a tingling sensation hit his heart and flow through his whole body!

This was a ward. Why was he here?

Did he already know who he was?

Why was he kissing him?

His head was filled with question marks, but they were put behind him after Bai Lixin had pushed his tongue in.

Pei Fuchen, pinned down, stretched out his arms and clasped both hands on either side of Bai Lixin’s face, bringing him even closer to him, deepening the kiss.

The two tongues entwined with each other, like two little snakes of pleasure, going back and forth, one after the other.

At that moment, all the doubts, all the worries, all the fears, were no longer in Pei Fuchen’s mind.

After a long, long time, a soft cough came from the doorway. The two men came back to their senses with a start.

Sitting up slowly from Pei Fuchen’s bed and walking down, Bai Lixin looked at the door with a flushed and embarrassed face.

The old butler coughed lightly, “I don’t wish to interrupt the young master’s catch-up with his friend, but it’s almost twelve o’clock. I don’t know what the two of you would like to eat?”

Bai Lixin smiled awkwardly and looked at Pei Fuchen, who was still lying on the hospital bed.

Pei Fuchen looked at Bai Lixin and looked at the old housekeeper with a calm face: “You can take care of it, Uncle Xu. I trust you.”

Uncle Xu smiled knowingly and nodded gently, “Okay, since the young master has said so. But this meal will probably take a bit longer for me to prepare, so I’ll apologize in advance for the long wait. ” With that, Uncle Xu gave a gentleman’s salute and slowly walked out, not forgetting to close the door again.

When Bai Lixin saw that Uncle Xu had gone out, he went to the door and locked it directly from the inside.

Pei Fuchen smiled awkwardly and asked, “When did you know?”

Bai Lixin crossed his arms around his chest and raised an eyebrow, “When? Your voice is so recognisable. Do you think I’m stupid? Wouldn’t I be able to distinguish your voice.”

Pei Fuchen gave another awkward smile.

Bai Lixin then said, “After you were discharged from the hospital, I purposely inquired at the oncology department, and they said that you would come here for follow-ups every two weeks. How else could I have coincidentally run into you just two days after being a volunteer?”

Pei Fuchen chewed on Bai Lixin’s words and said incredulously, “You mean you’re doing this for me?”

Bai Lixin raised an eyebrow again, “Otherwise?”

He sat on the side of Pei Fuchen’s hospital bed and turned slightly to look at the man, “You like me too, don’t you. If you liked me, why did you reject me? ”

Pei Fuchen gave a bitter smile and shook his head gently, “If I accept you, I would only be doing you a disservice. I won’t live long, and being with me will only make you sadder. ”

Bai Lixin slapped the side of the bed indignantly, “Who said you would definitely die? Aren’t you starting to get better now?!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he slapped the wooden board next to the bed several times, making a loud banging sound, “You don’t even have the courage to take the first step because of such an unfounded thing? Who are you to say that you’re better off without me? Who are you to judge my life by your speculations? I like you, I want to be with you, I’ll be with you as long as you live, I’ll live with you as long as you live! That’s what’s better for me! ”

Bai Lixin’s cheeks turned red and his two fox-like eyes widened in anger as he stared fiercely at Pei Fuchen.

Pei Fuchen knew that Bai Lu was now fuming, but he found this look unexpectedly cute.

Pei Fuchen reached up and gently covered his nose and mouth. His cheeks had a faint pink color, and his eyes couldn’t stop looking into his eyes.

God, so cute, like a fox with big ears and a small face. I want to hug him in my arms and squeeze him.

Bai Lixin frowned and looked at Pei Fuchen, who was lost in his thoughts again, and pursed his lips. He reached out and patted his cheek. “Young master, I’m talking to you. Are you listening? I’m telling you that you have to go out with me. I’m saying that in the affirmative, not in the negative! Let me ask you, if you don’t go out with me, then can you really stand me being with another man? Can you put up with me sleeping with other men, calling other men husband and darling, clinging to other men day in and day out? ”

Hearing Bai Lixin’s words, the sight of him leaning sweetly in someone else’s arms gradually appeared in Pei Fuchen’s mind.

Did he really want to give up Bai Lu?

He had already given up once yesterday, and almost died of heartbreak and despair. Was he going to give up now that Bai Lu had come to him like an angel?

No, never!

He had already regretted it once, and now, he would never regret it again.

A tumour? Screw the tumor!

Even if it was for Bai Lu’s sake, he would beat this fucking tumour. He would live a long life with Bai Lu and grow old together.

His side could only be by Bai Lu’s, and Bai Lu’s side could only be his. No one could squeeze between the two of them!

Having finally made up his mind, Pei Fuchen propped up his upper body and pulled Bai Lixin, who was still puffing out his cheeks, into his arms.

He kissed his cheek and forehead lovingly and said, “Baby, I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to anything you say, I promise you! ”

Finally getting Pei Fuchen’s nod, Bai Lixin smiled widely and wrapped his arms around Pei Fuchen, entwining his lips and tongue with him once again.
