Vol 1 Chapter 13 (1/2)

Chapter Thirteen

Because I felt awful, I requested a leave of absence to take a trip and unwind

To immediately request a teeks leave for some trivial reason when I just had the cheek to return to as a conduct that would obviously leave a bad impression

But I won’t itch frorandly when I was overwrought ork left and right

Once ent upon returning I had no intention whatsoever to make amends On the contrary, I became more careless and lazy—my movements slower than ever

Ke Luo found e, as I pressed e of soh he was accusto off, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter?”

“Ah, my back is sore”

Ke Luo looked at

An employee like this would likely have his salary deducted But I knew Ke Luo wouldn’t do so now

I’d heard that Shu Nian’s operation was a great success If it didn’t recur within a month, it would indicate a full recovery

So Ke Luo had been in a greata request He couldn’t bother to bicker with s

Even though I behaved so badly, Ke Luo still resolutely asked e

fuck, I didn’t want to celebrate

There were nized and some I didn’t It was quite a lively crowd No need to even uy asn’t on any side, ca Yi Chen attended

This reater than mine

They had probably bribed the doctor as, upon closing the door, everyone cheerfully shot party strings, blew out the candles, cut the cake, and freely poured chane in the hospital

Separated fro around the man, I watched him from afar He and I had similar faces, yet he was so far away

I stood near the entrance and listlessly ateI didn’t find any enjoyone

So the door He used too much force and nearly sandwiched me behind the door

Heinto Ke Luo’s ear Ke Luo, who had been se expression He finally sh I wanted to invite the donor here, we couldn’t find him anywhere He not only requested the doctor to keep his profile confidential, but even his registration data was false”

Everyone was a little surprised

“That’s strange”

“Maybe he doesn’t want to be bothered?”

“But, with a need to express our sincere gratitude, we’ll always feel indebted like this”

“Soood deeds”

“Ah, a nameless hero”

I didn’t knohat these people were thinking I al to them I rolled my eyes from the sideline

The door opened again, and I was caught by it once more

The e of the operation He warmly smiled “Please excuse me I arrived late…”

Before I could recover, I was sandwiched yet again a third time I was even struck in the head “damn it…”

“Sorry, sorry,” the ain

I only heard the doctor in front said with a smile, “This is the man who helped to collect the bone marrow, Dr Zhu…”

—I froze, but the hand, which had covered my forehead, had already dropped

The young doctor gave out an “ah” Before I opened my mouth, he smiled and said, “You came too? We’ve all wondered e couldn’t contact you at all And here I thought you left a false address because you didn’t want to meet the patient”

I stiffened More than ten seconds passed before I reacted I chuckled and pointed out to hi person”

The doctor was taken aback Terribly aard, he replied, “Ah, reat Haha”

Apart frohed Everyone in the room looked at me

It became more difficult for me to maintainto attend to Excusefirst”

I ran like the wind, playing deaf and mute the entire way

But when I pulled open the cab door, another hand quickly landed against it

“Uncle Lee”

Ke Luo was slightly out of breath

I s?”

Ke Luo’s expression was somewhat complex “…I chased you all the way out here”

“Is that so? I didn’t realize” My expression was sincere I fir, save it for later I’m in a rush”

“Thank you for saving Shu Nian…”

“It really wasn’t me,” I abruptly interrupted “The doctor was mistaken”

“Uncle Lee”

Here he goes again He only kno to call my name

Despite how many times he called uess his mind

I repeatedly tappedmaster, I still have matters to attend to Don’t waste my time”

He furrowed his eyebrows, like a sbone marrow from me?”

I helplessly spread my hands “I didn’t do it, so what do I have to hide?”

“You’re lying”

This stubborn little brat

“Alright” I brazenly laughed “If you want it to be e anyway”

Ke Luo slammed the car door shut

The confrontation between the two men made the cab driver uneasy The car started at once and sped off, leaving a streak of smoke

It really had my style

“Thank you, Uncle Lee”

I’d known hi and had heard it all before But this was the first time I heard the words “thank you” from him I was so scared on the spot that I repeatedly waved my hands “No, no, don’t thank me Or better yet, write me a solid check”

Thethis sentimental moment undoubtedly killed the ht “In any case, I truly arateful to you this time…”

I coughed I felt incredibly disgusted to be mistaken as a hero Goosebumps rose on my back There was a false feel from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, like a hypocrite

I wasn’t a hypocrite I was a true scoundrel

“Like I’ve said, you n a check, otherwise don’t mention it” I waved him off rather shamelessly “Don’t write s There’s no room for them yet”

Ke Luo stared at hed “You can ask for anything”

How generous

I didn’t feel any joy The reward he pro a cold bowl of porridge

“Anything?” The leering smile on my face didn’t drop even a bit I tilted his chin up withyour body?”

Ke Luo’s face flushed He parted his rown up so tall and mature, he remained faintly naïve within his bones

Another cab approached with a vacant sign lit This tih the net I shot my hand out to stop it and e of Ke Luo

Not long after the car had started, ere stuck in traffic on the overpass

The ses With each slow step, the foul air took the opportunity to pour in through the half-opened carI choked and groaned uncomfortably in the back seat

Luckily the feel of his skin still reering touch

That young, smooth, tender sensation

I knew being frivolous was very bad But if I wasn’t frivolous, I wouldn’t have been able to fish out even this little touch What else could I do?

Ke Luo sent me a text It was still a “thank you”

My teeth ached fro at it

There really was no need to thank me

I wasn’t a hypocrite To this day I still hadn’t the slightest good opinion toward theelse

Maybe someday, on impulse, I’ll throw a sack over him and brutally beat him up

If only he had died Natural disaster,would have been fine

Yet he’s still alive and well

I didn’t knohat I had been thinking when I had endured the needle How idiotic

Perhaps it was just a spur of the moment

Or maybe I truly was too lonely

Chapter Thirteen

It rained the nextThe pitter-patter of the rain and the overcast sky made people sleepy

When I opened my eyes, I realized I had overslept Even if I bolted to work, I would still be late In that case, I ht as well sleep more

I snuggled up in bed and dreaer, but soothed ry anymore With my continued efforts, I tried to fall back into sleep

My drea Like the sound of bo in my ears I held a baby in my hands Amidst the noise, only the two of us sat quietly in the corner He didn’t cry or cause trouble He siood baby

But he felt too light as I held him

Soo open it In my dream, I knew that they had come to collect debt

His black eyes , yet he continued to look at me full of expectation The first word a child should learn to say is “ry”

Hungry, hungry

I put er in his erly sucked it

The banging on the door grew louder and increasingly clearer Bang, bang, bang—as if so my chest

Suddenly, I woke up My heart was pounding wildly, nearly ju on the door

Was the person pressing ht?

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, fumbled off the bed into my slippers, and went to open the door

“Uncle Lee…” Outside the door, the young man’s hair was drenched, his eyes jet-black, and a cold chill covered his entire body “Why did you double lock the door? You didn’t come to work today And when I called you, your phone was off Are you sick?”

I was still half-asleep, so ry…”

“Huh?” Ke Luo was stupefied He then sured you hadn’t eaten yet, so I brought food to make you dinner”

In the few seconds while I was dazed, he had entered the apartht fresh scent of rain I didn’t fully awake until the rush of the ice-cold air stirred me “You specifically came to cook for me?”

“Uh-huh”

I was immediately overwhel tireat of an honor this was for me now

Ke Luo put the sorted food into the fridge He then turned around and handed me an envelope “Oh, yeah, you also wanted this”

There was a blank check inside

The aood thing

Holding it in my hands, I looked at it and touched it I considered the authenticity of it as I fiddled with it for a long while

I finally confir I could write at the end however many zeros I’d like to write

In his heart that man was priceless

Ke Luo was already busy While he soaked the sea cucuo with it, he put goji berries and angelica roots into the stewing pot

“What are you ? Isn’t it better to eat out?”

I looked at the check over and over until ue I was a wealthyhiht

“It’s raining Let’s go out when the weather is good”

I threeight about and talked down to hi common dishes to deal with me”

He so”

He actually sat down and took it

All of a sudden, it see I wanted beforethose bone e could be made

He was obviously just a small wolf cub But for that man, he turned into the world’s most docile lamb—white and pure No matter how you lash out at hi two long rows of eyelashes

Ke Luo walked back and forth, preparing dinner Partly reclined on the sofa, I drank s up in a reat elder as I bossed him around The fruits had to be peeled with toothpicks inserted and delivered before me I complained that this was too sweet and that was too bland The texture was too rough The color was bad

In fact, there wasn’t ’s own precious flesh and blood son, someone second to only one person, I sent hi hiive me any real sense of pleasure

I happily abused the right I received, acting as if I took pleasure in it Even though that wasn’t what I wanted at all, that was everything he could give He was already working so hard, and I didn’t want to force him anymore

Dinner was al rooh the air Ke Luo crouched down to check its temperature

Outside the rain had stopped To h before the sky was dark The young low Thecurtains fluttered in the wind It rese

I was slightly startled

My body followed my heart, and I unconsciously walked up behind him Just as Ke Luo stood up, I reached out and embraced him

He was taken aback He didn’t move, yet his ears turned all pink

I was afraid he’d led For ahoarse I cajoled him, “Keep your Uncle Lee company for a moment”

He understoodand obediently stood still Both his hands were down as he waited for my next move

Convinced that he wouldn’t resist, I gathered my nerve and carefully felt him from his forehead to his cheek, down to his chin, neck, chest, and then abs—inch by inch

But it was only touching He clearly took on a posture that displayed him at my mercy, yet I actually felt terrified

He was full of life, and I was decrepit

In the end, I didn’t do anything

I intently exaers, and then said, “Let’s eat”

It would be unbearable for me if I asked hied for pleasure anyh I could flush my face down the toilet anytime, I still had my pride

I’d rather touch for a moment, just eat some tofu that’s neither salty nor bland to quenchfor the stomach either

Living one’s life was also like this

Ke Luo seemed to be stupefied He then s me”

I was extremely embarrassed

fuck, this was one bad thing about being a man You can’t fool anyone

The tall young man in front of me timidly turned around One hand wrapped around me and the other slid into my pants

He seemed to be very shy while he ripped me, I threw my helmet away and discarded my armor as I panted Men are just that hopeless I couldn’t resist this kind of good thing delivered to my door, and there wasn’t a need to resist

Ke Luo concentrated oneyelashes were exceptionally visible I couldn’t see his expression

All the blood in my body rushed to my lower half Without sufficient blood to my head, I couldn’t come to my senses

Maybe I shouldn’t even bother He wasn’t his usual self as he acceded to my every plea, considerate to my needs Wasn’t this, which had been unobtainable, precisely what I had been waiting for all along?

When I alripped his shoulders I dazedly thought: I’m so positive and broadminded, not bothered by the minor details

I only cared for the action I didn’t need to be attached to the motive

It made no difference to me I’d still be happy if he fell in love with ratitude

Under a shudder, I eventually soaked his palether and lifted my eyes to his raven-black eyes My throat constricted

The two of us felt somewhat aard We both averted our eyes in silence I adjusted my pants Ke Luo pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the traces off his hand

“Uncle Lee”

“Yeah, what?” After a man lets it out, his body would loosen and his voice would soften

“Why did your bone marrow match?”

“Oh, that” My e This kind of occasion could arise at any time I just happened to run into it”

Ke Luo, the small sheep, looked up at me “Why did you take the test?”
