Chapter 11 – Countdown to Trouble

As soon as school was over, He Qing eagerly leaned on his crutches and went up to the rooftop, which was surrounded by a guardrail to prevent accidents.

He Qing shrank down and carefully hid under the eaves of the roof, waiting expectantly for his lover to arrive.

The sound of footsteps came from the door, the boy raised his head in surprise, and carefully stood up on crutches. With a cautious smile on his face: “Ah Chi…”

“Whoosh—” A basin of cold water splashed over his face. He Qing was completely unprepared, and was solidly splashed all over. His whole person was dumbfounded, and in his ear was Zhang Xu’s arrogant laugh, and the door slammed shut, leaving only the young man with the dripping wet hair standing in confusion.

After a few seconds, he finally reacted and reached out to push the door, which naturally couldn’t be pushed open. He knocked hard on the door in fear: “Zhang Xu! Zhang Xu! What are you doing!”

The door of the rooftop has always been unlocked, but Zhang Xu had prepared long ago. He inserted a wooden stick through the two door handles. No matter how hard He Qing pushed, the door would not move.

“Dare you to play my brother! You’re just staying here tonight!” He had already planned it out. He Qing never interacted with the people in his dormitory, plus now that school was over, the teacher won’t look for him. The poor thing also didn’t have a cell phone, so he could only freeze on the rooftop all night!

Monkey looked at the proud Zhang Xu, and looked back towards the noise from the rooftop door with some anxiousness, “Brother Xu, we are like this, will Brother Chi be unhappy?”

“He won’t!” Zhang Xu promised while patting his chest, “I helped him vent his anger. He hasn’t even had time to thank me yet, so how could he be unhappy!”

He Qing had pushed at the door for almost ten minutes before he had to give up. The water on his body had already soaked through his clothing and the cool breeze on the roof made him shiver.

【Without a system, looking at the true nature of these secondary school bear children, if I were really locked up here for a night, I would definitely be seriously ill with my current physical condition! 】

【Host can purchase the Hundred Disease Eliminating pill from the system for only 999. The purchase now also comes with a box of strawberry condoms. Please choose 1, buy, 2, buy two. 】

He Qing didn’t intend to care about him at all, and carefully took out a cell phone with his frozen hands. It was given to him by Lin Chi. He pressed it twice, only to find that the phone had been soaked and the screen was black…

【…】 He Qing put down the phone silently: 【System, repair the phone. 】

【No problem, Host, you just need to give me points. 】

——

Sun Yumeng insisted to go to dinner outside of the school, and after leaving, made a fuss about going to the movies. Lin Chi felt annoyed at heart, but played with her until eleven o’clock, and finally sent the reluctant Sun Yumeng back to the dorms.

Standing downstairs in the female dormitory, watching Sun Yumeng leave one step at a time, Lin Chi breathed out a sigh of relief, finally gone!

If it was the old him, regardless whether fiancee or not, he wouldn’t throw his face away like this, but too many things have happened recently. In order to achieve his own goals, Lin Chi had to pretend.

Even pleasing a woman you hated the most.

Lin Chi walked to the boys’ dorm with a gloomy face. The phone rang. He took out the phone and looked at the name on it. His face suddenly became more ugly, but he still answered the phone:

“Father, are you looking for me?”

Half an hour later.

In the dorm room, Zhang Xu felt that he had done a great thing for his brother today. He was playing a game while humming a small song. He heard the sound of the door opening, and he stopped playing. He looked towards the door with a smile on his face: “Ah Chi, you’re back…” Before he finished, he was frightened by Lin Chi’s expression that clearly said, “I am upset”.

Seeing that Lin Chi was in a bad mood, Zhang Xu didn’t dare to ask, shrinking his neck and continued to play the game quietly, while secretly watching his every move from the corner of his eye.

Lin Chi’s body was surrounded by a depressed air, and he went to the balcony to collect his clothes and went into the bathroom with a dark face. The door closed vigorously, making a loud noise. Zhang Xu was curious, but did not dare to ask. When he was about to continue playing, the cell phone that Lin Chi had put on the bed started ringing.

“Ah Chi! Phone call!” He glanced at the name of the person above, and surprise flashed in his eyes. When Lin Chi asked him to bring the phone over, Zhang Xu handed it over and said casually: “I guess that mute came to you for help, don’t pick it up.”

Lin Chi’s hand, whish was unbuttoning his clothes, paused. His eyes shot at Zhang Xu like a sharp sword: “What did you just say?”

Zhang Xu originally thought that he was doing it for the good of his brother, but seeing Lin Chi’s current reaction, he got scared: “That, I locked that mute guy on the roof of the school building…”

After he finished speaking, looking at Linchi’s sudden change of color, he said anxiously: “I also helped you to vent your anger… Didn’t you say that the dumb guy tricked you…”

“Eh!! Ah Chi! Where are you going! Your clothes!!”

He Qing was leaning against the corner of the wall, the cold wind was blowing, suffering. He felt that his head was hot enough to cook eggs, and his body was as cold as snow-capped mountains. He shivered as he called Lin Chi.

The first time, the call picked up.

The second time, no answer.

Just when he was about to call for the third time, Lin Chi called. He Qing’s soul shook, his frozen hands shaking, and put the phone to his ear.

“Ah Chi…” His voice was weak as if he was about to die in the next moment, “I, I thought it was you… I thought…”

Speaking dazedly, the boy finally couldn’t hold on anymore, his hand dropped weakly, the phone rolled a few times and fell to the ground. The call interface was still on. Lin Chi shouted called out, but he already couldn’t hear.

Lin Chi ran until his stomach ached, opened the door anxiously, and at a glance saw the young man curled up in the corner. His face was pale, his body half soaked, his once neat hair was awkwardly stuck to his forehead, and his lips were pale.

He just lay there, the ups and downs of breathing couldn’t be seen in his chest. Lin Chi’s breathing was stagnant, and he walked to the boy while trembling, his shaking hands placed under his nose, feeling the weak but still breath to slip past his fingers. Lin Chi’s legs softened and he slumped on the ground.

His whole body was weak, but insisted on holding the boy in his arms, feeling the high body temperature. Lin Chi hugged him tightly, and muttered: “I’m sorry…”

Sorry, Ah Qing…

【Ding! Lin Chi’s favorability value: 92】

He Qing woke up in a familiar hospital. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Lin Chi, sitting on the bedside and tapping his fingers on his laptop. Looking at the side of his handsome face, He Qing thought of the man who stayed in the hospital with him in the past and handled affairs with a notebook.

While he was still lost in thought, Lin Chi had already found out that he was awake, then closed the computer. He smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the boy’s forehead, “The fever is gone.”

He Qing stared at Lin Chi who was smiling in front of him, almost thinking that he was in a dream. Otherwise, how could he (HQ) see his (LC) tenderness again?

“What’s the matter? Did the fever burn you silly?” Facing the young boy who looked at him with an unbelievable gaze, Lin Chi was still gentle. He gently touched He Qing’s head, just like before.

Facing his gentleness, He Qing cautiously did not dare to approach him. His eyes were bright, but his voice was very timid: “Ah Chi…you are not angry anymore?”

Seeing his cautious appearance, Lin Chi’s eyes flashed a trace of pain, but it quickly disappeared: “Father has explained it to me. Ah Qing, you couldn’t see it at that time, and my father was drunk and didn’t reveal his identity, it’s not your fault……”

Almost immediately after he finished speaking the last sentence, He Qing’s eyes became red with tears, and the grievances that he had been enduring all that time came to his heart. At the same time, there was some guilt for Lin Cheng. Since the last time in the hospital after the hug, he always felt that the man had bad intentions, but he didn’t expect that he would explain everything to Lin Chi.

He was incredibly happy. There were still tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth smiled with joy. This look of crying and laughing, Lin Chi couldn’t help but hug him, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t be so impulsive. Can Ah Qing forgive me?”

Being hugged happily in the arms of his lover, He Qing can’t wait for time to stop forever at this moment. He happily hugged Lin Chi, his voice is full of satisfaction: “Ah Chi doesn’t need to apologize, I don’t blame you.”

His tone was full of longing for the future: “I won’t blame Ah Chi in the future, ever.”

Where He Qing couldn’t see, Lin Chi withdrew in his hand holding the young man, eyes full of pain. He forced a smile, and said softly, “Okay, I believe you.”

He closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes, opened his eyes again, and slowly released his hand. Facing the boy’s confused gaze, he forced a soothing smile: “Ah Qing, the hospital has checked you. Your eyes have not been completely healed, and you are in danger of going blind again.”

He Qing’s eyes widened in shock, “I will be blind again?”

After experiencing the days without sight and some ridiculous things caused by not being able to see, He Qing was full of fear. His face was pale and his hands couldn’t help holding the corner of the quilt.

Lin Chi’s smile was a little forced, but he still said: “Don’t be afraid, just one operation. It’s just that you need to be protected from light for a few days before the operation and you have to wear medical eye wear for a few days. Is Ah Qing willing?”

Hearing that it was a medical gauze, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. It is better than blindness. He just nodded and agreed, but he hesitated after thinking of something, “That… medical expenses…”

He definitely upwards of five figures on his medical expenses these days, so how could he have the gall to let Lin Chi pay again.

Lin Chi kissed him on the cheek, smiled and said, “Okay, this is the medical expense!”

Caught off guard by the kiss, although Lin Chi moved away quickly, He Qing’s face slowly turned red. His eyes were full of shyness: “Ah Chi…”

“Be good, you are my person, what are you scared of…”

After coaxing He Qing, Lin Chi suddenly said: “Ah Qing, I will also have a surgery.”

He Qing suddenly became tense, “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Facing the worried lover, Lin Chi smiled and shook his head: “No, it’s just a minor operation, but for a few days after the operation, I won’t be able to speak.”

He touched the bewildered young man’s head, and said with a little playfulness: “At that time, one of us will be blind and the other dumb, and we will be a good match!”

He Qing was not as easily coaxed as he thought. He (HQ) was touching his head, but his face showing a complicated expression, “Ah Chi, if I can’t see it, I’m afraid I will recognize the wrong person…”

The cost of recognizing the wrong person last time was too painful, and he really didn’t want to experience it again.

Lin Chi grabbed his hand and drew a circle on the palm of his (HQ) hand with his (LC) fingers. Seeing He Qing looking up at him in doubt, he hoarsely said, “This is something that belongs to us only. After doing this, you will know it’s me.”

It only belongs to them… He Qing’s face is full of trust, and he leaned sweetly on Lin Chi, “Remember, Ah Chi, don’t tell others, this is a secret that belongs only to us.”

Lin Chi embraced him with sad eyes, hoarsely said: “Okay.”

He Qing was drowsy after taking the medicine, so he had to lie down to sleep. But even falling asleep, corners of his mouth were sweetly curved. Lin Chi looked at his sleeping face and stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, but felt a chill run down his back. He turned around, and he saw Lin Cheng standing outside the door, watching his movements with cold eyes.

A minute later, Lin Chi walked out of the ward, and Lin Cheng expressionlessly handed him a document: “30% of the shares, I’ve signed.”

Lin Chi clenched his hands into fists, his fingertips pinched white, but in the end he accepted the document under the man’s indifferent gaze.
