CH 41.3

Standing behind the wall were two men— Lu Li and Xie Zhiwei.

Lu Li’s whole body was taut and his hands were clenched tight; He was like an angry lion that would tear everything in front of him at any time.

Xie Zhiwei said lightly: “He really doesn’t like you.”

He doesn’t like you, doesn’t like you, doesn’t like you…

Xie Jianwei really doesn’t like me at all.

Lu Li’s mind was full of these words, but unexpectedly, he calmed down not along after.

Xie Jianwei not liking him was normal ¾ he already knew that since long ago, so it shouldn’t matter that much by now.

But it doesn’t change the fact that he(xjw) is important to him(LL), and even the God of Death wouldn’t be able to take him away from him.

Lu Li looked at Xie Zhiwei: “You feel reassured now?”

Xie Zhiwei: “I do.”

“Well then. I will arrange for an operation as soon as possible.”

Xie Zhiwei smiled, “Aren’t you going to let Xie Jianwei have some ‘fun’?”

His words were full of sarcasm,  but Lu Li just ignored him.

********

It’s been days, but Xie Jianwei still hadn’t been “tied into” the hospital, and so he was a little puzzled: The ‘show’ is over, isn’t it? Then why…

Could it be….

Lu Li is really giving him a chance to really give him a chance to have some hook ups?

Xie Jianwei pondered for a long time, and a faint idea came into his mind.

Perhaps, Lu Li was afraid. Although he and Xie Zhiwei’s bone marrow match was very stable, it’s still an operation, and predictable things could happen during the process.

Even the top hospitals and doctors couldn’t guarantee a 100% success, therefore Lu Li couldn’t feel at ease.

Maybe he’s still doing some psychological construction for himself.

Xie Jianwei thought: It was me who is going to die if something goes wrong, but that man is the one who was so anxious.

Just who is the patient here?

After thinking about those things, he felt like he just swallowed something sweet: Who made his family’s Da-Li so cute ah!

But it’s been two days, so Xie Jianwei felt that he had to encourage Lu Li.

Since Lu Li can’t do it to himself, then Xie Jianwei had to.

—In the evening—-

Xie Jianwei was about to go out donning a rather flashy suit, but Yán Kè stopped him: “My ancestor! Don’t go out just to play around!”

Xie Jianwei:  “Don’t worry, it’s a masquerade party, so my face won’t be shown, besides this is M Country¾ no one knows me.”

Yán Kè thought about it and felt that he couldn’t control this wild horse. Xie Jianwei promised that he wouldn’t mess around anymore after returning to China, so he should just let him have some fun while they’re still here: “Take it easy, ok?”

Xie Jianwei promised: “Rest assured.”

Lu Li was, of course, aware of Xie Jianwei’s whereabouts like the back of his hand¾ he knew right away as soon as the latter  left the house.

Upon confirming Xie Jianwei’s location, Lu Li took a deep breath and drove there as well.

The party was organized by one of the fun-loving youths in the film’s crew. All of the attendees wore masks, adding a mysterious vibe to the event, but most of them were actually looking for companions.

Xie Jianwei was not interested in anyone because he knew that Lu Li would come since he himself was there.

Lu Li would be wearing a mask anyway, so he’d just pretend that he didn’t know him.

Sure enough, as his eyes wandered for a brief moment, he saw a familiar figure who wore a skull mask that covered his entire face.

But since when did Xie Jianwei needed to see Lu Li’s face in order to know that it was him? All he needed was that certain feeling to recognize Lu Li right away.

Lu Li, apparently, didn’t think so and he thought he had a pretty good disguise.

Xie Jianwei took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him in a broken English: “Great stuff huh?”

Lu Li was silent.

Xie Jianwei approached him closer and asked, “Would you like to go out for a while?”

Such brazen invitation! Lu Li was so angry, but he knew he had to be cool-headed. He should at least be thankful that the one Xie Jianwei approached was him and not other people.

Afraid that Xie Jianwei would recognize his voice,  Lu Li just nodded.

Xie Jianwei raised an eyebrow while smiling and asked, “Why aren’t you speaking? Oh, but that’s okay.  It’s kind of interesting.” Then he kissed Lu Li’s mask. “The skull mask is so cute.”

Cute your fart!  Yan Ke complained, Baby 1was almost scared to death! Forget it, everything is seen through pink-filter when you’re in love! But I don’t want to swallow this dog food! 

The two hit it off and went out.

Xie Jianwei: “My car is on the left.”

Lu Li took Xie Jianwei to the right. He had a lot of cars, and Xie Jianwei hadn’t seen the one he was using right now.

Xie Jianwei got into the car with him, and the two drove towards the hotel.

It’s been a while since they’ve done it and since Xie Jianwei knew who was under that skull mask, he had no reservations whatsoever and just straight up showed his true colors.

But this behavior of his looked different through Lu Li’s eyes.

After they finish, Xie Jianwei would look for someone again. After leaving him, Xie Jianwei would smile at others like this, would talk to them in such a soft voice….

And do that thing with other people.

Lu Li felt like he’s drowning in a sea of vinegar just by thinking about it.

Xie Jianwei pretended that he didn’t noticed Lu Li’s sour expression and asked, puzzled: “You’ll still wear that mask  even while we’re doing it?”

Lu Li didn’t respond. He just reached his hands into Xie Jianwei’s clothes.

Xie Jianwei felt ticklish as Lu Li’s fingertips caressed his body: “What’s with this strange foreplay?”

Lu Li squeezed the sensitive spot on his waist.

Xie Jianwei’s legs softened so he leaned on Lu Li as he asked, “Hey, are you a one or a zero2?”

Lu Li: “…”

Xie Jianwei playfully said: “I want to be on top.”

Lu Li squeezed his buttocks. Xie Jianwei entire body was getting sensitive a, but his mouth was reluctant to admit defeat: “If can’t come if I’m not the one on top .”

Lu Li still remained silent and instead, he put smeared some lubrication pushed inside Xie Jianwei.

The Military Advisor Xie who, supposedly, “couldn’t come unless he’s the top” was now moaning sweetly.

Afterwards, Xie Jianwei did it with the masked man for two more times, and on the third time, Xie Jianwei asked: “Hey, I think we’re quite compatible. So… why don’t you take off your mask so that we can ‘get along’ with each other more?”

These words were like a mallet that woke Lu Li up abruptly.

Xie Jianwei really wanted to be with someone else.

Xie Jianwei could, and would, be able to be with other people.

If I hadn’t gone to the Masquerade party tonight, will he also say these words to another person?

Despite these negative thoughts, Lu Li still became clear-headed eventually.

Xie Jianwei had to be treated first… then after that, he won’t let him go… never again..

Regardless of the method, he must tie him to his side, even if Xie Jianwei comes hates him.

.

.

.

Xie Jianwei didn’t open his eyes the next day and since Military Advisor Xie successfully executed his plan of “convincing” Lu Li, he was finally admitted to the hospital.

Everything needed for the surgery was already prepared. The doctors were also on standby and they were just waiting for the patient.

""

In fact, Xie Jianwei could still play for a while because although leukemia is fatal, he didn’t feel sick at all. In addition, the “God’s Will” is on his side; therefore, if he wanted to, he could still drag the situation for a while.

If it weren’t for his medical records, Xie Jianwei would think that he doesn’t have any illness at all.

Although Lu Li thought about countless terrible mishaps during surgery, the final result was wonderful.

Xie Zhiwei cooperated throughout the whole process, and coupled with Xie Jianwei’s stable state, the operation went very smoothly.

The attending doctor called Lu Li and said with satisfaction: “Please be at ease; the operation was a success!”

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, his taut body filled with fatigue finally relaxed. He stayed beside the still unconscious Xie Jianwei, never leaving his side.

During these times, Xie Zhiwei hadn’t contacted Lu Li.  He knew very well that once the bone marrow transplant procedure was over, Lu Li would change his mind.

Xie Zhiwei could only threaten Lu Li before the operation but once it’s over, his terms would lose its weight.

So Xie Zhiwei constantly stimulated Xie Jianwei before surgery.

He had two plans:

If Xie Jianwei was deeply in love with Lu Li, then seeing him and Lu Li together would greatly trigger Xie Jianwei. If it could affect his condition, then that would be for the best.

But even if Xie Jianwei didn’t get stimulated by Lu Li being together with other people, it’s still good. Just let Lu Li give up completely and let him see clearly that Xie Jianwei didn’t love him.

No matter which of the two happens, it would still guarantee a success.

What if Xie Jianwei recovers? This is an inevitable possibility.

However, everything would still go according to the plan as long as some misunderstandings keep on happening between Lu Li and Xie Jianwei.

He wanted Lu Li to feel uneasy. He must convince Lu Li forever that Xie Jianwei didn’t, and won’t love him.

But it’s a pity that as the mantis stalks the cicada, it’s unaware of the oriole behind.3

Military Advisor Xie had the experience of being a canary4, so he was no stranger to being an oriole.

Want to separate him and Lu Li? Too naive.

Xie Jianwei finally woke up after being in a coma for a few days.

Lu Li never left, so he immediately noticed that Xie Jianwei’s had opened. He then hastily rang the bell and not a moment later, a bunch of doctors filed in.

After the check-up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: “His condition is very good, but of course, further observation is a must!” The doctor instructed a lot of things and Lu Li listened very carefully.

The operation was indeed successful, but the subsequent treatment was more important—there ‘s no room for any mistakes.

After the doctors left, Lu Li looked at Xie Jianwei and asked in a low voice: “How do you feel?”

He can explain the matter between himself and Xie Zhiwei at any time but now, he only cared about Xie Jianwei’s body and just wanted to listen to him.

Xie Jianwei also looked at him with a little surprise in his eyes. He soon opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: “Ah-Li, is your mother okay?”

Lu Li was stunned.

Xie Jianwei frowned and said, “I…Where am I?”

Lu Li was a little nervous. He asked him, “What did you just say?”

Xie Jianwei said , “How is your mother’s body?”

“My mother?” Lu Li asked him anxiously, “Do you know what your name is?”

Xie Jianwei said: “Xie Jianwei, who else can I be?”
