Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter - Chapter 38
The bottle of bath salt rolled to the ground, Xia Xingchi sat stiffly upright, seeing it rolling away all the way, completely forgot even bending over to pick it up.
It was very quiet for a while, Li Chengyuan looked at him patiently and expressionlessly, as if wondering what lies he could tell this time.
Xia Xingchi finally came back to his senses, and immediately jumped up, thinking that thirty-six tricks would be the best plan, but unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan grabbed his wrist and dragged him back to the chair.
Li Chengyuan said gloomyly: “Speak.”
He seldom revealed this terrifying truth in front of Xia Xingchi, but now Xia Xingchi was shocked by just two words, and he couldn’t help but flinch a little.
“I, what do I have to say?” Xia Xingchi said dryly with a guilty conscience, “What about modifying memories? Are you sleepy and telling fantasy stories?”
Li Chengyuan didn’t say a word, the more expressionless he was, the more frightening he was.
Xia Xingchi felt more and more horrified, but on the surface, he pursued the victory with seriousness:
“I heard that the feeling of dying will cause people to have a lot of hallucinations. You must be mistaken… Anyway, don’t think about these messy things!”
Li Chengyuan’s expression changed.
After being speechless for a long time, he said in a deep voice: “Xia Xingchi, you also want to say that I’m mentally ill, and that these are all figments of nothing—”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his lips and coughed.
His face, which was slightly blood-colored from soaking in hot water, turned pale again. His lungs had not healed after being damaged by the toxin, and at this moment he coughed up a trace of blood.
Li Chengyuan swallowed the blood in his throat, and laughed at himself, “That’s right, maybe I’m crazy.”
Xia Xingchi had never seen such a scene before, so he was at a loss for what to do.
It suddenly occurred to me that Li Chengyuan was caught by the mistress and forced him to take countless messy psychotropic drugs because he firmly believed in the existence of that little liar.
—I accidentally poked his wound while looking for excuses in a panic.
It’s hard to say whether the little liar exists or not, but what Li Chengyuan said about the memory change a year ago is indeed true.
Xia Xingchi felt extremely guilty immediately, and said hastily:
“No! I believe you! I mean…actually I…uh, I actually had plastic surgery! That’s why you didn’t recognize me!”
Li Chengyuan: “……?”
In fact, he is not so fragile and glass-hearted, and he is not so sad because of such a trivial matter.
He wanted to use this to test Xia Xingchi, but it seemed that he was overacting, and he coughed badly and accidentally coughed up a little blood, forcing the little hedgehog to tell such unreliable lies without hesitation.
Xia Xingchi continued to lie in a low voice with a guilty conscience: “Of course things like plastic surgery should be kept secret! I’m afraid you’ll dislike it, so it’s normal to want to hide it—right!”
Li Chengyuan was helpless, he thought he would bite someone if he pushed him too hard, so he stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Xia Xingchi’s nose:
“Stop making it up, why can’t you even tell a whole lie now.”
Not as good as when I was a child.
Although the ins and outs are not clear yet, Li Chengyuan has already got an answer he wanted:
It’s quite a standard cover-up, if Xia Xingchi really doesn’t know anything, then naturally he doesn’t have to lie, and he won’t feel guilty about acting like that.
It seems that this little liar must know something, but he just won’t say it.
“Help me up.” Li Chengyuan let him go temporarily, and stretched out his arm instead.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that he seemed unable to stand up, Xia Xingchi immediately asked nervously, “Are you feeling dizzy or uncomfortable?”
Li Chengyuan didn’t speak, as if he was really dizzy suddenly, he let Xia Xingchi help him up.
And this small worker was very service-oriented, so he picked up a bath towel and dried him off.
In fact, when Xia Xingchi wiped it, it was based on the attitude of bathing and brushing a wet cat. He didn’t think much of it. He was about to lower his head to wipe, but suddenly heard a low voice in his ear:
“Aren’t you afraid to look at me?”
Xia Xingchi: “…”
With such a reminder, it seemed that he suddenly realized that he had accidentally seen something.
At this moment, he just finished wiping Li Chengyuan’s upper body casually, and was about to bend down to wipe it all the way down. The position was very awkward and unlucky, and a certain part could be seen clearly and carefully.
The picture is shocking. I haven’t stared at it before. It’s the first time I found out that it is so… amazing in size.
“I rely on it!”
Xia Xingchi immediately exploded with thorns all over his body, jumped three feet high and threw the towel directly on Li Chengyuan’s body: “Hurry up and wipe it yourself!”
This person Pengci’s acting skills are too peak, Xia Xingchi always classifies him as a weak and unable to take care of himself whenever he is distracted, wants to hug him out of the wheelchair, and wipes him dry and puts on a bathrobe.
.
The impact of the picture was too great, Xia Xingchi tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep, and finally remembered that besides liking money, he actually had other hobbies, such as liking men.
Usually sleeping in the same bed with Li Chengyuan doesn’t feel that bad, even cuddling the waist is like a small animal cuddling together for warmth, and has no other thoughts.
But tonight, somehow, something was wrong, the villain’s always cold body temperature seemed to be roasting, so Xia Xingchi quietly shrank to the bedside, trying to stay as far away as possible from him.
But no matter how far away it is, it is still a bed, and the tip of the nose is full of the familiar fragrance of someone, gently scratching the tip of his heart like a small paw.
Seeing him rolling around like a small pancake without sleeping, and still so far away, Li Chengyuan said helplessly, “What are you doing?”
“I’m hot. You don’t get so close to me.”
Li Chengyuan was even more helpless.
Fortunately, Xia Xingchi fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. After a while, when he saw that the pancake couldn’t be turned over, he still lay on the pillow and let out a soft snort, Li Chengyuan stretched out his hand to wrap him in his arms. Hug in my arms.
.
When the doctor knocked on the door the next morning to make rounds, Xia Xingchi had already changed his posture and hung himself tightly on Li Chengyuan’s body, sleeping soundly.
I heard a small voice talking next to my ear: “Mr. Li, your test results…”
Xia Xingchi immediately pricked up his ears, opened his eyes and poked his head out from under the quilt, listening to what the doctor had to say with sleepy eyes.
When the doctor just entered the door, he found that there was something bulging under the bed. He was thinking about whether it was a pillow or something else, when he saw a bright and handsome young man come out.
Li Chengyuan stuffed Xia Xingchi back casually: “You sleep well.”
Xia Xingchi refused, yawned and rubbed his head on Li Chengyuan’s clothes unceremoniously, and put his arms around his waist without letting go.
Maybe it’s because he seldom had physical contact to express emotion since he was a child. When Xia Xingchi was in a daze, he was instinctively willing to stick to someone he knew and liked like this.
The doctor was suddenly stuffed with dog food, and it took him a long time to regain his senses and continue:
“Overall, the problem is not serious, but the lung and myocardial damage still needs to be treated and rested for a period of time, and the problem of hypotension and anemia also needs to be taken for a period of time.”
“If you want to take care of your stomach problems, you should not stay up late at ordinary times. You should also combine work and rest at work. Too much thinking will hurt your body.”
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, and suddenly remembered that he wanted money so desperately to make money that it was all for his money fan Bai Yueguang, and suddenly felt that the person in his arms was not good.
And finally remembered that Mingming tried hard to distance himself from him last night, why did he hug him again as soon as he opened his eyes today?
Li Chengyuan felt the hands around his waist loosen, and the little hedgehog who had just woken up felt depressed for no reason. He slowly retracted his head into the bed and turned away from him, silently rolling himself into a hedgehog ball.
Li Chengyuan:?
Even a business legend who knows things like gods can’t figure this out. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn’t realize which sentence offended Xia Xingchi.
.
Li Chengyuan only stayed in the hospital for a few days, and decided to go through the formalities and leave the hospital after finishing the injections that should be done. Anyway, resting is the same as resting.
His decision was very firm, and he did not consider his physical condition at all. Even the doctor advised him to observe and rest for a few more days, and he refused to listen. The remaining needles and medicines had to be taken home for injection.
Xia Xingchi was puzzled, he didn’t understand why he was so determined to go back all of a sudden.
Originally wanted to persuade, but was easily defeated by a faint sentence “I’m not in a good mood here”—
This is a moody and bad-tempered big cat. If he disagrees with him, he will be so angry that his stomach hurts.
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, vaguely feeling that Li Chengyuan didn’t want to leave just because he didn’t want to live in the ward.
Maybe there was something else he didn’t want to talk about…and it wasn’t a good thing.
After not coming home for a long time, Xia Xingchi was shocked when he passed by the open storage room just after changing his shoes and entering the house.
The entire storage room is packed to the brim, and there are so many gift boxes, there are everything for eating, drinking, and entertainment, covering all aspects of daily life.
Xia Xingchi casually picked up an expensive and beautiful watch and stroked it on his wrist, feeling that this youthful style seemed to suit him quite well.
“God, Aunt Li, are you winning the lottery to redeem the prize?”
Aunt Li was watering the green plants in the living room, and said, “Recently, a lot of people have come to give presents. Your agency and your father have come to deliver a lot of things.”
Not long ago, his agency just hid him casually, but since he and Li Chengyuan made an official announcement, they suddenly discovered that not only did they treat the young master of the Xia family badly, but also that this was Mr. Li’s lover in his hands.
The degree of shock and fear was no less than five thunderbolts, and I almost regretted my actions at the beginning.
So after slipping and kneeling, he began to give gifts attentively, obviously to sincerely apologize for what happened before and to build relationships.
As for Xia Pingjian, he is thick-skinned enough, and he doesn’t feel ashamed at all of the change in attitude of watching people order dishes.
Seeing that his son’s value has skyrocketed now, he hastened to restore the relationship, completely forgetting the time when he wanted to hit and scold him.
Xia Xingchi thought that the “gift giving” was still at the cognition level of the poor and beaten workers. When Aunt Li called to ask if he would accept it, Xia Xiaocai fan simply nodded and said that he would accept it of course.
It turned out that there was an entire storage room piled up, which is too exaggerated.
Probably because she was afraid that the cheap things would not catch the eyes of “Mrs. Li”, she bought the most expensive and best everything.
When the windfall came, Xia Xingchi became happy, and turned his head happily as if sharing the spoils: “It’s all for your sake, you pick first, pick the rest and give me the rest.”
At this time, Summer flew down the stairs all the way, her short legs slipping and rushing down as if they were about to drift.
It’s been a long time since I saw these two people, and the seemingly non-sticky Gao Leng Mao Mao couldn’t help but swooped directly, obviously lonely.
Li Chengyuan immediately dodged indifferently, avoiding the impact of this huge fluffy shell.
Dabai Tuanzi missed a hit, and immediately let out a dissatisfied “meow!”, turned his head to grab Xia Xingchi’s trousers, and tilted his head to rub him, as if asking him to uphold justice.
Xia Xingchi was taken aback for a moment, and his sense of happiness was instantly overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and intimacy. He didn’t expect that he could reap the initiative and intimacy from Maomao.
He hammered Li Chengyuan symbolically, and said what he didn’t dare to say because he was afraid of the big villain:
“I really don’t know how lucky I am! Do you know how happy it is to have such a clingy cat? You don’t even know how many years I’ve wanted a cat like this!”
Li Chengyuan said lightly: “I know.”
He didn’t have much interest in this kind of small animal. He just thought of the cute look of someone who looked straight at the kitten at that time, so he specially raised one after leaving Li’s house and stabilizing the group.
On weekdays, he has no time to deal with all kinds of affairs, and has a dedicated servant to raise cats, but he often feeds Summer the cat strips himself.
While feeding, he recalled that the little liar was penniless and couldn’t even eat by himself, and he was still able to feed half of the last bit of food to the stray kitten and half to Li Chengyuan with a smile.
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, and was about to retort, “It’s only weird if you know”, when Li Chengyuan continued:
“This is for you. You said you like pure white and long-haired ones…it has the same surname as you.”
“Huh? How could—”
Xia Xingchi was taken aback, and suddenly realized that the name summer really had the word “Xia” with him.
Li Chengyuan’s peaceful and serious expression didn’t look like a joke at all, and this big white dumpling had been raised for more than a year and got a good name early, far earlier than Xia Xingchi’s marriage.
This series of serial crashes…how could there be such a coincidence?
Li Chengyuan didn’t say any more, he deliberately hooked Xia Xingchi as if thinking for himself, took off his coat, turned and went upstairs to the study.
Leaving Xia Xingchi and Summer staring blankly at each other, each in a daze.
.
The next day, Xia Xingchi had his own job of getting rich. It is said that Lin Meng selected the best few from countless high-quality resources.
Considering that young lovers are the most important thing, anyway, in front of hundreds of billions of net worth, working in the entertainment industry is just entertainment.
A simple variety show that can be recorded in just one day does not affect the love and sugar between the two of them.
In the past, Xia Xingchi felt helpless because he couldn’t make money at home every day, but now he can easily fill his money-making itinerary, which makes people happy like winning the lottery.
He glanced at the big villain who was eating breakfast expensively at the dining table, but suddenly he was a little reluctant to go out.
Li Chengyuan was also dissatisfied with this, his clingy character was vaguely revealed in his illness, obviously he wanted to pick up Xia Xingchi himself so as not to lose him.
“No, you have a good rest, I really won’t run away,” Xia Xingchi said sourly, “I’m not the same as a liar who seeks money and kills you, don’t be so nervous all the time!”
Li Chengyuan took a deep breath, he was very self-aware of his paranoid character, in order not to scare people, he finally compromised.
Xia Xingchi instructed: “Eat lunch and dinner well. I came back late, so I can’t supervise you today. Go to bed early and don’t stay up late to work.”
This variety show was recorded in Beijing, and it was the first time he appeared in front of everyone after he became the focus of attention.
There is no need to work hard like Xia Yu to establish a persona of “playing casually in the entertainment industry”. When Xia Xingchi was asked this question, he only told the truth and sincerely emphasized in front of the camera that he was really here to make money.
It’s a pity that everyone only thinks he is low-key and humorous. After all, as long as he is willing, Li Chengyuan can directly buy the entire TV station.
No one can come to play more confidently than him.
It took a whole day to record the entire variety show.
Xia Xingchi thought that he would be able to grab a free lunch box with meat, but the driver Xiao Wu brought the sumptuous meal prepared by Aunt Li – by the way, he checked for Mr. Li if he was still there.
The meals at home are healthier and more nutritious than boxed meals, and the pork rib soup is so fragrant that everyone can’t help but join in with emotion.
Although Xia Xingchi tried to share it if he didn’t eat alone, everyone was embarrassed and didn’t dare to take advantage of the love bento that the boss sent someone to prepare for his lover, so in the end he was the only one who managed to make it round.
.
Because I recorded a few additional announcement videos, it was already midnight when I got home.
Xia Xingchi tiptoed upstairs, he told Li Chengyuan to go to sleep quickly, and the latter also replied briefly and indifferently with the word “um”.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed to the second floor, he saw a person sleeping on the sofa.
Li Chengyuan was dressed in pure white home clothes. With such long legs, it was a bit difficult to squeeze on the sofa. He had to lie on his side and curl up. It didn’t look very comfortable.
Summer also curled up into a cat ball and slept next to him. Xia Xingchi suddenly felt like he had raised two white cats, one big and one small, and there were still people waiting after the night shift was over.
It’s a pity that my heart warms up but I can’t help getting angry at the same time. It’s fine if summer doesn’t go back to sleep. Why is this big cat so disobedient?
Not to mention the awkward and uncomfortable sleeping position, but if you accidentally catch a cold, you are guaranteed to have a stomach attack and a high fever.
Although Xia Xingchi had already slowed down his steps, Li Chengyuan opened his eyes immediately.
“Dear boss, didn’t you promise me to go to bed early?” Xia Xingchi reproached with distress, “Why are you sleeping here? What should you do if you catch a cold?”
Li Chengyuan lowered his eyes. Since he found Xia Xingchi, the difficulty in falling asleep has indeed recovered a lot, and the subconscious idea of ”I can’t sleep, and I can never find him again” gradually weakened.
Originally, I wanted to wait for him here, but unexpectedly, I accidentally fell asleep.
Seeing that he was silent, Xia Xingchi thought he was not feeling well, so he hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead, only to be relieved when he saw that he had no fever or cold sweat.
“Don’t wait for me in the future, go back to your room and go to bed early.”
Li Chengyuan sat side by side with Summer on the sofa with a blank expression, his indifferent expression obviously refused to admit that he was waiting for someone.
“Okay, okay, you didn’t wait. Mister, if you don’t sleep again, I’ll knock you unconscious with a sap and throw you on the bed to suffocate.”
But when Li Chengyuan took the documents on the coffee table in the living room to the study for a while and then came back, he saw that someone had already fallen asleep on the pillow.
It doesn’t look like it can smother others to death at all.
Li Chengyuan smiled helplessly, and turned the sleeping Xia Xingchi into his arms, so as not to suffocate sleeping on his stomach.
Xia Xingchi snorted softly.
Perhaps it was touched somewhere deep in his memory by the way Li Chengyuan curled up into a ball, he actually dreamed of a little child version of Li Chengyuan who was still wearing a white shirt.
In the dream, he was also curled up like this, shivering uncomfortably as he pressed his heart in the cold corner.
“Are you sick?” The same little Xia Xingchi squatted down, “Is there something wrong with you?”
Li Chengyuan ignored him, seeing him leaning over to check, he just coldly slapped his hand away, leaned on the wall and stood up with difficulty, staggering and wanting to leave.
Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, there was a burst of dizziness accompanied by a splitting headache, and then fell down.
Xia Xingchi quickly caught him, and said decisively: “You will die if you do this!”
Li Chengyuan finally reacted, a strange smile different from normal children appeared on his indifferent face: “Then die—”
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Xingchi hugged him directly.
Although Xia Xingchi was a few years older than him, he was only slightly taller. But Li Chengyuan was dying of illness at that time, and he was so thin that Xia Xingchi struggled to hug him.
“You can’t just die like this,” Xia Xingchi said out of breath, “You are very rich at first glance, how can you be willing to die? The money hasn’t been spent yet, what a waste!”
Li Chengyuan was dumbfounded.
He had obviously never heard such an outrageous reason for living, as if it was black humor.
But Xia Xingchi’s serious attitude didn’t seem like a joke. He was taken all the way to a remote abandoned factory building that could shelter him from the cold wind, and he even boldly squeezed the face of the precious young master Li Er.
“To be honest, are you the young master who ran away from home?”
“Drink some water, your lips are so dry and white, are you thirsty?”
“When your parents come to look for you, can you give me some food money as a reward? Otherwise, I will starve to death before you die.”
When the screen changed, the time changed to a cold and wet rainy night.
Li Chengyuan’s sensitive and fragile stomach was throbbing, but he endured it without making a sound. He sat on the side and watched Xia Xingchi’s dexterous and slightly short hands quickly weave a red rope:
“Thank you for the meal money you borrowed…Although I have no money for the time being, can I use this as an IOU for you? I will pay you back when I earn some money!”
Li Chengyuan wanted to say that there was no need to pay back the money, anyway, he would be murdered or died of illness before he could live.
But after thinking about it, he hoped that Xia Xingchi would always be there, so he nodded expressionlessly.
“Why do you have such a bad face? Do you really want to eat something? The hot buns are really delicious!”
Li Chengyuan shook his head, still enduring the severe pain in his stomach without saying a word.
His vision gradually darkened, and he hoped that he would pass out from the pain sooner, so that he would not have to continue to suffer from this pain.
But at this time, he was caught off guard that his throat was sweet, and he vomited out a mouthful of dark blood on the spot.
Xia Xingchi was lowering his head to put on a bracelet for him, but when he saw this, he was frightened and stood there in a daze.
The child vomited blood in his eyes, and he was about to die. Seeing his body tilted and his face pale, Xia Xingchi passed out. Xia Xingchi was frightened out of his wits, thinking that he died suddenly.
“Li Chengyuan!”
Xia Xingchi sat up suddenly, waking up from the dream in shock.
Li Chengyuan was in a light sleep, and was woken up by his loud voice, and saw that he was trembling, and the fear on his face had not completely faded away, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed his head:
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of having a nightmare?”
Xia Xingchi seemed to be sleepwalking and hadn’t fully woken up from the dream, and was in a daze for a while, unable to distinguish between dream and reality.
He grabbed Li Chengyuan’s hand and said affirmatively: “You can’t die! I knitted a bracelet for you…I haven’t paid you back yet!”
Li Chengyuan thought he was just having an ordinary nightmare, so after coaxing him, he was no longer afraid and continued to sleep.
But as soon as the word “bracelet” came out, he suddenly frowned, and said in disbelief, “Xia Xingchi, what did you remember?”
The author has something to say: Xiao Xia: The money has not been spent yet! How can people be gone! (Heartbroken.jpg)
Mr. Li: According to the current rate of making money, we may need to live forever for thousands of years…
