Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Ji Yinli could feel Xu Bai's body shaking violently. He was trapped firmly under him. His weak body struggled to crawl forward, but was repeatedly caught back.

The air conditioner was on in the summer, and the ground was cold and hard, and soon two large bruises appeared on Xu Bai's knees.

“No... Woo...” The struggle gradually weakened, and the boy’s face was dazed, but he never begged for mercy.

Finally, he was taken into his arms and brought to the bed. Ji Yinli touched his dazed and sweaty face, and was still hesitating whether to take him to the bathroom to wash, when he heard him muttering, "I hate you... I hate you..."

hatred?

Ji Yinli let go of his hand, pushed Xu Bai aside, went to the bathroom to clean himself up, then pulled the quilt over himself and went to sleep.

He just slept uneasily and had many dreams, most of which were about the boy smiling sweetly at him: Yinli, I'm leaving.

Ask yourself: Where to?

The boy replied: Go to hell.

Then he suddenly woke up and reached out to touch Xu Bai.

This time it really wasn't Liu'er who was causing trouble. President Ji was really scared by what happened during the day. It is normal for people to dream at night.

Xu Bai: [I have a fever.]

Liu'er agreed and swung the mace at the halo. It was cheap anyway, so he didn't feel bad about using it.

But this caused more than just a fever. Xu Bai's whole body was numb and his consciousness was almost pulled out of the white elm shell. After a muffled groan, tears fell down.

Xu Bai: [Did you hit the wrong spot...] His eyes were filled with tears, [Aim carefully before you hit, your blow seems to have hit the bridge of my nose.]

Liu'er apologized insincerely. Ji Yinli searched for a long time before he touched the corner of her clothes. He simply followed his heart and pulled her over to hug her tightly in his arms.

As soon as he hugged him, he found something was wrong. The boy was in great pain, his breathing was disordered, and he sobbed intermittently. When he touched him again, his hands were covered with tears.

Snapped.

The bedside lamp was turned on, and the warm yellow light enveloped the area, allowing Ji Yinli to see the current situation clearly.

Xu Bai's face looked grim, his brows were furrowed, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his tightly pressed eyelashes were already wet from the tears that kept flowing down, his mouth was slightly open, and he curled up into a ball with unbearable effort.

Ji Yinli's expression also changed. He reached out and touched the back of the boy's neck and found it was burning hot.

"White Elm! Little Elm!"

Xu Bai raised his eyelids with great effort. He thought he was going to die. He felt pain all over his body and felt dizzy, as if he was being pulled into a quagmire by a pair of hands.

Ji Yinli called the doctor and gently pushed Xu Bai's shoulder, "Xiao Yu!"

"……Mother……"

His pupils were invisible between his raised eyelids, "No...brother..."

"Brother Qinghuai..."

His breathing went from heavy to light, and Ji Yinli could not do anything else. He was afraid that Xu Bai would completely lose consciousness, so he could only keep calling his name, and even pried open his mouth to see if his tongue was blocking his airway.

"Yin Li..."

His consciousness was teetering on the edge of a cliff. The voice that called his name sounded extremely tired, and the ending sounded just like before, which made Ji Yinli, who had been treated coldly by Xu Bai these days, feel numb all over.

But before he could savor the sound, the person in his arms fell heavily to the ground.

His head tilted and rested on Ji Yinli's palm.

[Ji Yinli’s Favorability: 38]

The doctor came over and gave him a fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory injection, and comforted Ji Yinli, who also looked grim, "It's the wound that's inflamed. He needs to pay more attention to his injury. Eat liquid food and get more nutrition."

It hasn’t been long since he last came here, how come he has become so thin?

Ji Yinli saw the doctor's condemning look, but he ignored it and just stared at Xu Bai. He also realized that the boy had lost weight, and lost weight very quickly. He was as thin as a pale piece of paper, and would fly into the sky if the wind blew.

to die.

These two words still frightened Ji Yinli. He asked the doctor to go out and went forward to touch the unconscious face.

why?

Aren't you a coward who doesn't even know how to hurt? Aren't you spineless? Aren't you willing to do anything for money? Why are you refusing to even apologize now?

Why don't you say a word when it hurts so much?

Is it because you know there is no hope with me, so you want to leave me and find someone new?

That's right, Xu Bai had acted so well and innocent before, only someone like me who had been reborn once could see his true face. After all, even Xiao Huai was deceived by him.

“…It’s so hot…”

A faint sound came from the pale and dry lips, and Mr. Ji curled his fingers and placed his palm on the person's forehead.

The fever was so severe that the temperature of his palms was cold to him. Xu Bai sighed and rubbed his smooth forehead against his palms.

Actually - Ji Yinli thought, it's not hopeless. As long as the boy behaves himself and doesn't always ask for status, he can be supported.

At least he's good-looking. At worst... take him out to see the world. If he really likes someone, you can just give him away.

[Ji Yinli’s Favorability: 45]

Xu Bai: [Look, these superiors love to make excuses for themselves.]

An excuse will be believed by others as long as it is plausible enough.

The large palm almost covered half of Xu Bai's face. Ji Yinli moved his palm slightly and stroked it like a cat.

The temperature dropped slightly in the early morning, but it was still hovering around 38 degrees Celsius. The doctor was a little embarrassed. "Don't increase the dosage of the antipyretic. If that doesn't work, wipe him with alcohol and put a fever-reducing patch on his forehead to see if it can go down by noon."

Xu Bai kept frowning and mumbling nonsense, with chaotic word order. But he was so soft that he could be manipulated like a rag doll.

Very well behaved.

At around nine o'clock, his temperature dropped significantly. No one knew which method worked, but Ji Yinli and the doctor both breathed a sigh of relief.

The anti-inflammatory injection was hung up again, and Ji Yinli asked Wu Ma to arrange for a room for the doctor to rest.

He actually didn't sleep much, but he was still energetic and turned back to the room to look after Xu Bai.

"Ji Yinli." The young man turned his face to the side. He did not open his eyes. His tone softened as he spoke, as if he was showing weakness. "You know that Lu Qinghuai is your savior, right?"

Looks like he's awake.

Ji Yinli's fingers trembled, and he didn't want to face his question directly, but Xu Bai didn't need to answer, the expression on the man's face said it all.

"Yeah." Xu Bai smiled. He was trying to look cool and nonchalant, but in the end, he looked lonely and bitter. "I knew it."

Knowing that I can't have love.

Ji Yinli's heart ached, but his words were not in line with his heart. "Xiao Yu, can you really enjoy stolen things with peace of mind?"

"..."

"So go chase Lu Qinghuai."

Blood began to return to the transparent infusion tube. Xu Bai's unconsciously clenched fist caused the needle inserted into the blood vessel to deviate. A bump appeared on the back of his hand, and he could feel his lips trembling uncontrollably.

The boy liked Ji Yinli. He liked him the moment he saw his back.

It's very strange, but the thing called "like" is not reasonable.

So does “dislike”.

Ji Yinli doesn't like himself, even hates him.

Xu Bai bit the scabbed wound on his lip and tasted the strong smell of blood again.
