Chapter 32: The Breakout

Translated by Shiya of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Li Sui’s deep black eyes were now filled with sadness. This was the first time Lu Shang clearly felt that the person sitting across from him was a man—Li Sui wasn’t the little boy who could be easily deceived anymore.

“Not even a little?” Li Sui asked, trying his best to hold his tears. Li Sui was pleading with his eyes, he said with a trembling voice, “From beginning to end, did you treat me nicely only because of that compatibility report?”

Lu Shang answered Li Sui with silence. Li Sui’s questions were like broken pieces of glass, piercing straight into his heart, it was suffocating. Lu Shang couldn’t give a reply, he also didn’t know what to answer.

“I see.” Li Sui nodded his head while laughing at himself.

Lu Shang seemed to be really tired, he only stared at Li Sui, he opened his mouth a bit but ended up not saying a thing.

“Over the past year, I’ve been searching, searching for a way to heal you. I considered many options, asked many people, read many books. The only thing I’ve never thought of was that the cure for you was in me all along.” Li Sui smiled, “Lu Shang, I am actually really happy. At least… at least you could be saved.”

From the second Li Sui saw Lu Shang entering the front gate, he had given up, he was going to give in to fate. There was a part of Li Sui which even he himself didn’t want to admit—that even if he knew Lu Shang was going to gouge his heart out, he’d willingly let him.

“Stop talking.” Lu Shang cut him off, his voice was repressive, “I won’t be having a heart transplant, so just stop talking.”

“Why?” Li Sui stared at Lu Shang with sharp, interrogating eyes.

His gaze was piercing, Lu Shang didn’t want to look at him, he averted his eyes. Lu Shang was heating up, his ears were ringing, and his chest hurt, he really didn’t have the strength to talk.

“Why?” Li Sui repeated the question, his eyes were still as sharp and relentless, as if he had to see through Lu Shang or else.

Lu Shang was in so much pain that his back was covered in sweat, he couldn’t take it anymore. He did his best to stand up, heading upstairs.

When Lu Shang walked past Li Sui, Li Sui grabbed hold of his arm, Li Sui asked, “Are you going to run away?”

The two of them stared into each other’s eyes, then Lu Shang said in a small voice, “I have nothing to tell you. You’re barely 20 years old, what do you know.”

Li Sui looked at Lu Shang, and his expression changed slightly, “Do you really think that I know nothing?”

Li Sui closed in on Lu Shang, his eyes drooped a little as he said, “When something happened to me in the training camp, why did you put so much effort in finding me? You even used your connections to get the military involved. On the surface, you seemed indifferent to my problems at work in Tong Yan, but then you helped me sweep all the obstacles away, why? When I kissed you while I was drunk, why didn’t you refuse? Why did you react to me?”

Li Sui’s eyes darkened, he slowly pulled Lu Shang into his embrace. He said right beside Lu Shang’s ear, “Lu Shang, do you know how sad I was when I saw you lying on the surgery table? Do you know how much I want to kick away all the people who annoy you when I see how much you’re suffering? Do you know how much willpower I have to use just to stop myself from assaulting you every night? I don’t just love you, I also want to…”

Li Sui didn’t finish his sentence, but just the unfinished version was enough of a shock to Lu Shang. Lu Shang never knew that this kid had already reached this stage when it came to their relationship.

“Please don’t kick me away.” Li Sui landed a light kiss on the nape of Lu Shang’s neck, his voice was filled with aggrievement, “I love you. Please don’t rob me of the right to stay by your side.”

Lu Shang subconsciously pulled his neck away a bit. Li Sui was hugging Lu Shang really tightly, as if Li Sui was afraid that Lu Shang would get away. Li Sui was holding him so tightly that Lu Shang felt his arm went numb, he couldn’t help but wiggled his body for a bit, “Can you let go with your hand first…”

“I’m not letting go.” Li Sui forcefully pulled Lu Shang’s head back, raining kisses from Lu Shang’s chin down. Li Sui’s hand delved into Lu Shang’s coat, unbuttoning the buttons on his shirt one by one, “I know that you sent Uncle Yuen and Aunt Lu away so that you could talk with me alone.”

Lu Shang only felt numbness in his brain, his fever made him slow and his head was spinning, at that moment he couldn’t really grasp what Li Sui was saying.

“What are you doing?” Lu Shang frowned, “You… umm.”

Li Sui bit Lu Shang’s lips, that stuffed all the words Lu Shang was going to say back down his throat. It was definitely not a gentle kiss, both of their lips had a bit of blood when Li Sui moved away. Li Sui intentionally breathed out hot air into Lu Shang’s ear, “Lu Shang, I can’t hold it back anymore. I want to take you for myself.”

“You…” Lu Shang trembled uncontrollably, his breathing became unstable as well, his limbs were weak. Lu Shang only felt his body burning up, he only saw the world spinning as he opened his eyes.

Li Sui was enchanted, he sucked hard on Lu Shang’s neck, a red mark immediately formed on the other’s pale skin. The feeling of pain from the bite was evident, Lu Shang wailed a little. The hickey was like a mark; seeing his own masterpiece, Li Sui got more excited, he lifted Lu Shang up horizontally, bringing him to the sofa.

The coat and Lu Shang’s belt fell to the ground, Li Sui pulled open Lu Shang’s shirt and prisoned his hands, suppressing the tiny struggling Lu Shang was making was just so easy. Li Sui kissed him again down from the neck, kissing his collar bones, his chest, his navel… As if all his shackles were gone, Li Sui ran rampant on the tender skin which he had been dreaming about for an entire year, leaving behind scores of marks that belonged to no one else but him.

The lights on the ceiling were blinding, Lu Shang’s lips fluttered open and close meekly. Lu Shang began seeing double, the suffocating feeling from the lack of air was like ink, spreading in his brain quickly, his consciousness turned blurry.

Li Sui licked and bit, exhaling burning hot breaths onto Lu Shang’s white skin. His hands greedily slid down along the other’s flesh, caressing every spot gently until it reached Lu Shang’s behind. Li Sui hesitated for a second, his expression darkened, then he forcibly pushed his index finger inside.

The sudden pain was like an arrow flying straight towards Lu Shang’s brain. Lu Shang’s breath stopped at the pain, the last bit of consciousness left him and flew into the air.

“Lu Shang…” Li Sui got what he wanted, he mumbled softly beside Lu Shang’s ear, in his voice was impatience, “Your insides are so hot.”

The one being assaulted didn’t reply. Li Sui froze, finally realizing that the slight struggling from the person beneath him was gone. Immediately Li Sui moved to Lu Shang’s face, “Lu Shang?”

Lu Shang was lying on the sofa quietly, his pale bloodless face was limply tilting to the side, his breathing wasn’t stable, and his body was slightly trembling. Li Sui’s brain began ringing in alarm, could it be that painful? As Li Sui thought that, he immediately pulled his finger out, lifting up Lu Shang’s head not knowing what to do.

“I’m sorry. I… did I hurt you?”

Lu Shang’s skin was burning, Li Sui didn’t realize that before, as he was too engrossed. Now that Li Sui placed the back of his hand on Lu Shang’s skin, Li Sui realized not only was his skin burning up, his shoulders were also shivering as if his chest was in pain.

Li Sui looked at the person beneath him, his clothes were all messed up. Li Sui’s expression changed drastically as it suddenly dawned on him, the color on Li Sui’s face was gone, as he said with a trembling voice, “Lu Shang… you have a fever?”

The continuous pressing force on Lu Shang’s hands was finally lifted. Lu Shang frowned as he wore a painful expression. He subconsciously curled himself up, and with how collected Lu Shang usually was, this action made him look as if he was scared.

“Don’t be scared, it’s fine.” Li Sui was nervous, he immediately hugged Lu Shang tightly, “I… sorry, sorry…”

However, the person in Li Sui’s embrace still had his lips tightened, Lu Shang didn’t open his eyes either, his complexion was nothing like that of a healthy person.

Li Sui was almost going to cry, as he didn’t get any replies even after calling out to Lu Shang repeatedly. Li Sui clumsily put Lu Shang’s clothes back on, then lifted him up from the sofa, bringing him down to the car garage, “Let’s go to the hospital. I’m sorry. I didn’t really want to hurt you, I only want to force the truth out of you. I’m so sorry… I didn’t know you were sick…”
