For more than a month before, in order to stabilize the male lead’s emotions, Lu Yue had been trying his best to act pitifully.
Watching the dishes on the table and drooling but unable to eat, and pretending to have nightmares at night, he couldn’t sleep well.
He was exhausted and sleepy. Taking advantage of the time lying in the hospital this time, he slept for a day and two nights in one go, not waking up until the third day.
001: [Host, you finally woke up! (∩_∩)]
Lu Yue rubbing his eyes: [What time is it now?]
001: [It’s six o’clock in the morning. Host, you slept for almost two days!]
He actually slept for such a long time? Lu Yue stretched lazily, feeling much better after a nap. He looked around but didn’t see anyone.
Lu Yue: [Where’s the male lead?]
001: [The male lead is dealing with Deng Hui’s case. The case is currently under trial, he was the first to discover it, and he also has the recording pen you gave, so he needs to cooperate with the police investigation. Oh, by the way, when you were asleep, Lu Zixi also came by.]
Lu Yue: [He also came? Well, not bad, not bad. He truly is a high-quality backup second male lead. This is the time when he needs to come and comfort my injured heart.]
001: [Host, are you joking? Are you planning to cheat?]
Lu Yue: [You’re overthinking it. I love him so much, how could I cheat? I just want to give the male lead some space and brush up on his blackening value.]
001 once again felt the unique and vulgar taste of his host. Could it be that he’s taking this opportunity to deliberately retaliate against the male lead? 001 couldn’t help but worry about the male lead.
The next moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, followed by a pair of slender legs stepping in.
Lu Zixi hadn’t seen Lu Yue for a few days. Yesterday, he suddenly heard that he was sick, so he hurried to the hospital. Unfortunately, he didn’t see Lu Yue wake up last night. He inexplicably sat with Lu Yue’s assistant all afternoon.
Thinking of Zhou He’s look at Lu Yue, Lu Zixi always felt a strange familiarity and strangeness—just like He Lang.
But he quickly shook off this thought and ridiculed himself for thinking too much.
And today, as soon as it started in the morning, he called the unit to ask for leave, and then immediately came to the hospital.
Lu Zixi was afraid that Lu Yue hadn’t woken up yet, so he opened the door very lightly. However, to his surprise, as soon as he entered, he met a pair of deep dark eyes.
“Xiao An, you’re awake!” Lu Zixi tightly gripped the plastic bag in his hand, barely suppressing his inner excitement and joy.
He took a few steps over, sat down near the window bed, and stared at the young man’s flushed face that had cooled down. He reached out his hand to check the temperature: “Fortunately the fever has subsided. You must be thirsty, let me pour you a glass of water.”
Lu Zixi handed the water to Lu Yue’s lips, and Lu Yue took it, whispering a “Thank you.”
These two words sounded bitter in Lu Zixi’s ears.
Lu Yue lowered his eyes, swallowing the moisture in his parched throat. His head still felt dizzy, and his body was weak all over. When he opened his eyes and found himself lying in the hospital, he realized he probably had a fever.
How long had it been since he was last sick? It turned out that he had been taken care of too well by He Lang before, and even his self-care abilities had deteriorated. He Lang had only been gone for a little over a month, and he was already struggling to hold on.
Suddenly, Lu Yue thought of something and looked sharply at Lu Zixi: “Where’s Deng Hui? Where is he now?”
Lu Zixi was startled by Lu Yue’s excitement: “Deng Hui has already been taken to court. The trial is today. Don’t worry, there is evidence and witnesses. He will definitely go to prison!”
Speaking of which, when Lu Yue called him over that night, he didn’t detect any traces of drugs in He Lang’s body. He had initially thought it was just a normal car accident, but it turned out to be Deng Hui’s doing.
How much effort did Lu Yue put in to get the evidence?
Lu Zixi felt puzzled but didn’t ask. He just felt something stuck in his chest.
“The trial is today? When did this happen?” Lu Yue trembled with excitement, his eyes full of undisguised hatred, his teeth clenched fiercely as if he wanted to tear someone apart.
“It was your assistant named Zhou He, who called the police. He arranged the trial himself.” Lu Zixi observed Lu Yue’s expression secretly after speaking, “Your assistant seems quite unusual.”
Lu Zixi’s impression of Zhou He was just that of a serious and tall figure following Lu Yue, but recently, it seemed like he had changed.
He gave off a dangerous vibe.
Unfortunately, Lu Yue didn’t care about his assistant’s condition at the moment. Hearing Deng Hui’s name, his heart and eyes were full of disgust.
He had worked so hard to find evidence to send Deng Hui to prison. How could he not watch him be destroyed with his own eyes?
He must go!
Lu Yue’s eyes were bloodshot. Then, he quickly ripped off the needle marks on his arm and pulled back the blanket, ready to get out of bed. But his body was too weak. Just as he moved halfway, he lost balance and leaned forward as if he was weightless.
Luckily, Lu Zixi quickly caught him, preventing him from falling.
“What are you doing? Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Whatever you want to do, you can tell me!” Lu Zixi held Lu Yue’s thin arms with both hands, his tone anxious.
“I want to go to the court!” Lu Yue’s gaze began to blur, and he struggled uncontrollably.
“You don’t need to worry about the court. It’s almost over there. Just wait a little longer, and you’ll hear the news soon.”
“No—let me go! I have to go, I want to go there!”
No matter how much Lu Zixi persuaded, Lu Yue seemed not to listen at all. He was desperately shaking his body. His eyes had turned crimson at some point—a symptom of madness!
Lu Zixi’s was frightened when he stared at the eyes that suddenly turned red. As a result, Lu Yue took advantage of his momentary confusion and broke free from his restraint, running barefoot out of the room.
“Xiao An!” Lu Zixi snapped back to reality and immediately chased after him.
001: [Host, please don’t tell me you enjoy running around barefoot!]
Lu Yue: [Stop mocking me. Quickly tell me, where’s He Lang?]
001: [The male lead is already in the lobby on the first floor. You’ll see him if you run down now!]
Lu Yue while running: [How should I make my entrance?]
001 immediately replied: […However the host prefers.]
