After a whole day of suffering and fatigue, Xiaoqiao was truly exhausted both physically and mentally.

Although he was trying his best to support his body on the bed and his eyelids were bulging as he waited for Lu Yubei, but … Her upper and lower eyelids were already fighting, and she looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"If you're tired, just close your eyes and sleep. Don't worry, I'll always be here." Lu Yubei tucked her in, and then reached out and pulled Xiaoqiao closer into his embrace.

"Yubei, then I'll go to sleep first." By the end of his words, he had lost all strength and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Lu Yubei turned off the light in his room, and only left a small lamp by his bed, which emitted a weak light that indifferently illuminated the room.

It had rained heavily during the day and there was no moonlight at night. When Lu Yubei looked outside the window, it was completely dark and the starlight was dim, as though there was no light at all.

Thinking about what happened today, he touched the cigarette in his pocket habitually, just like how he did in Lu Zhongtian's study room.

In the blink of an eye, when he saw that Xiaoqiao was already fast asleep, he put down the cigarette in his hand.

In the study room, Lu Zhongtian's words were still fresh in his mind, and clearly echoed in his ears.

"Yubei, it's not that your mother and I are forcing you, it's that you owe Zihe this much." Lu Zhongtian looked at him and spoke sincerely and sincerely.

Lu Yubei's finger was still holding onto the cigarette, his entire face was covered by the hazy smoke ring, without changing his sadness or joy.

"…"

Then, his silence became a bargaining chip for them to attack him and force him to back down.

"If, your brother was still alive, if not for that car accident, your sister-in-law wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries and wouldn't have died. Zihe wouldn't have lost both his father and mother." Lu Zhongtian's words could already be considered to be hidden.

But...

The meaning he wanted to express was extremely clear.

Even though his father, his mother, never once pointed at his nose and said, "Lu Yubei, you were the one who mercilessly killed his own brother."

And he didn't say anything further: "Lu Yubei, you were the one who arranged for this car accident, which resulted in your big brother's death."

But...

Their alienation was already a form of silent condemnation and acquiescence.

One "owing" after another in their mouths nailed his guilt to the wall, making it impossible for him to rise again.

Yes, they didn't scold him directly, but … In these past few years, every word and every word that came out of their mouths could be described as heartbreaking and piercing.

Cold violence, in this world, was more terrifying than many "quarrels".

"Dad, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I have a clear conscience regarding you, Big Brother, and Zihe." Lu Yubei flicked the ash in his hand, and it landed on his finger. The sparks that had just been extinguished were still boiling hot, but... Lu Yubei didn't notice it in the slightest.

His eyes were calm, so calm that no one could feel his warmth.

Lu Zhongtian sighed, "Didn't you always want the Lu family's inheritance right? If you fulfill Zihe's wish, complete the compensation and give Xiaoqiao to her, after you divorce Xiaoqiao, I will give you all the shares in my name, from now on... You have the complete control of the Lu family. "

"Dad, take back this condition!"

Lu Yubei looked at him, and did not think about it for even half a second. The moment Lu Zhongtian finished speaking, he immediately gave his answer.

"No matter how terrible I, Lu Yubei, am, I will definitely not be reduced to selling my wife in exchange for a stake in the company." These words were said with extreme ridicule and coldness.

After that, he stretched out his hand and directly put out the cigarette in the ashtray, then resolutely left, giving Lu Zhongtian a miserable look.

"Xiaoqiao, you said that I am the only person in your world, but …"

Lu Yubei paused for a moment, his sharp fingers caressed the strands of hair on her forehead, his gaze gentle: "But, do you know, you're also in my world?"

"Xiaoqiao, from today onwards, we will nestle together to keep warm and become the happiest people in the world."

These words were extremely painful to hear.

But as matters stood, Lu Yubei felt that his heart had become far, far calmer.

Or it could be numbed to the point where it could turn a blind eye to any damage done and become weak without a care in the world.

He could only tell himself this.

On the second day, Xiaoqiao naturally woke up in Lu Yubei's embrace.

Xiaoqiao reached out her hands to touch it, feeling the warmth and comfort of the tentacles, Xiaoqiao hugged Lu Yubei contentedly as she slept for a while longer.

Always... When she opened her eyes at around nine in the morning, it was already bright outside. Although it was still raining wet like yesterday, her mood was "the rain turned clear".

At first, Xiaoqiao still did not sense anything amiss. She thought that Yubei was too sleepy, or perhaps she slept too late yesterday, so she woke up a little later today.

However …

After half an hour, he could feel that the temperature of the touch of his hand on Lu Yubei's body had become hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter.

She reached out her hand and gently probed Lu Yubei's forehead.

That temperature could really burn someone familiar with it.

Xiaoqiao was shocked, she immediately stood up and called out to him: "Yubei, Yubei..."

"Yubei, Yubei..."

However, even after Xiaoqiao called his several times, Lu Yubei still did not reply.

She was so scared that she was at a loss of what to do, and quickly picked up her phone to call Lu Xin: "Xin, are you with Zhou Wei? Yubei seems to have a cold, and is still in a coma. I called for a long time but he didn't react, I'm really worried. "

"I can't carry Yubei, so I'll definitely delay him for a long time if I send him to the hospital. Quickly contact Zhou Wei and have him come over." The more Xiaoqiao spoke, the more anxious her words became, and the more afraid she became.

"Xiaoqiao, calm down first. Don't scare yourself first, I'll call Zhou Wei right now and ask him to come over. I'll come over shortly." Lu Xin hurriedly said.

"Okay, before Zhou Wei arrives, I will take care of him."

After hanging up, Xiaoqiao immediately went to grab Lu Yubei's forehead using the thermometer and pressed it on his forehead as fast as he could.

Although there were some cold medicine at home, everyone's physiques were different. She did not dare to give them to Yubei randomly, and Zhou Wei was about to arrive.

Five minutes later, when Xiaoqiao took out the thermometer, she staggered.

39 degrees!

39 degrees!

How could that be? Why is his fever so high?

It was said that the fever was close to 40 degrees, and would burn people to death. When Xiaoqiao thought about this, she could no longer remain calm, and her entire body started to tremble.

"Yubei, hold on, Zhou Wei will be here soon."

"You promised me yesterday that you wouldn't leave me, so …" You mustn't let anything happen to me. "

As Xiaoqiao encouraged Lu Yubei with his words that were beside his ear, she also fed him some water until he finally stopped talking. Zhou Wei hurried over, exhausted.
