The Fifty-Third Chapter: Moved by the Warmth

  Thank you yogurt pudding, muah muah...

  "I don't want to stay in the hospital, I really can't sleep!" Lí Luòér complained, tossing and turning on the bed.

  "Let's go, and experience the ups and downs again." Lu Xiangsheng paused the game and turned his head to look at her.

  "What's the point of going to Fengyuan?"

  "Check out! You can't sleep here, let's go, it's still early!"

  Lu Xiansheng got out of bed and tidied up his clothes. Li Lu'er rubbed her ears, only then did she understand what Lu Xiansheng had said earlier.

  "Who wants to open a room with you, what kind of room is that!" Luo'er threw a pillow at Xuan Sheng's body, although she was a bit weak now, but throwing a pillow was still enough.

  Lu Xiangsheng, holding a pillow with a bewildered expression, looked at Li Luoye's attitude and walked up to her, pressing her down on the bed. With a hint of evil in his mouth: "What are you thinking about in that little brain of yours?"

  Luo Er shifted uncomfortably and turned her face away, not daring to look directly into Lu Xiang's eyes.

  "Hah! You're scared stiff!" Lu Xiangsheng loosened his grip and helped her tuck in the corner of the quilt.

  Feeling that her breath was getting farther and farther away, Li Luo'er finally opened her eyes, staring blankly at the cup of water on the bedside table.

  Lu Xuan Sheng? Such a strange person, what kind of boy is he, who is he? And why did he come to my side? Why is he so good to me? Is it the pity he had for me at first or his confession that he would protect me for this lifetime...

  Forget it, don't think about it anymore, thinking won't get you the answer. His home is in Shanghai, my home is in Hami, thousands of kilometers apart, what kind of outcome would there be even if we love each other? A tragedy? If so, then it's better not to start...

  "Oh no! What am I thinking, why is my mind full of Lu Xiangsheng... where did Shen Kai go?!" Luo'er rubbed her temples, she couldn't let herself think wildly anymore.

  Where did Lu Xian go? Luo Er got up and looked at the empty room, suddenly a sense of fear struck, and she tensed up.

  "Lu Xiansheng? Lu Xiansheng?" Li Luo'er shouted from the corridor in her slippers.

  The corridor was empty and quiet, eerily so.

  The child walked forward, his hand not daring to leave the wall. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the lamp's shadow swayed...

  "Ah!" Luo'er collapsed to the ground.

  Lu Xiansheng came up from the elevator, saw that there was no one in the ward, and hurried out to find. Following the sound of crying, he finally saw Li Lu'er sitting on the ground, looking disheveled and shivering with fear.

  "What are you doing here?" Lu Xiangsheng asked her, leaning down.

  Li Luo's whole body was trembling, her eyes were filled with tears, and her fists were pounding on Lu Xiangsheng's body like rain. "Where did you go? I was so scared! Why didn't you say a word before running off? Why didn't you tell me... Waaahhh..."

  Lu Xuan Sheng was taken aback, what? So she was looking for him?

  He picked up his son and held him tightly in his arms, all the way without loosening his grip.

  Li Luo'er just buried his head in his arms, feeling his heartbeat, and slowly calmed down.

  "Alright, let go!" Lu Xiangsheng said to Luo Er who was still tightly grasping his arm, "We've arrived!"

  Luo Er opened his eyes to find himself already on the hospital bed, and Lu Xiang Sheng's arm had two dark purple marks from being grabbed by him. How much strength did he use?

  Lu Xuan Sheng covered her with the quilt, turned around, but found a force pulling him back. He turned his head to see that it was Li Luo Er's hand, tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.

  "Don't go, okay......" Li Lu'er said softly, blinking her misty eyes.

  Lu Xuan Sheng took a deep breath, one hand reached over the stool and sat down on the bed, gently tidying up Li Lu'er's bangs, and asked faintly: "What's wrong?"

  "I'm scared!" Lí Luòér bit her lip tightly and whispered.

  Lu Xuan Sheng's mouth curved into a faint smile of satisfaction. What? Are you relying on me?

  "What are you afraid of? This is a hospital, it's very safe!" Lu Xiangsheng comforted him.

  "Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you and was so scared!" Luo Er still refused to let go.

  "I thought you were asleep, so I was afraid of disturbing you, went out to make a phone call, met the nurse on her rounds, and took the opportunity to pick up your nutrient solution. Who knew you were just pretending to sleep!"

  Li Luo'er stuck out her tongue and said hesitantly: "Can't... don't go..."

  "Haha." Lu Xiangsheng laughed happily: "I can't leave, where would I sleep if I left? Just rest beside you after you fall asleep, and call me if something happens!"

  The child nodded and slowly let go of his hand, closed his eyes, counted sheep, and before long, he was playing chess with Lord Zhou.

  On the second day in the hospital,

  "It's so comfortable sleeping." Lu'er stretched and sat up.

  Turning around, I saw that there was no one on the bedside, but the quilt was messy.

  Just about to get out of bed, I felt something pressing against my waist, and it was a bit numb.

  Lu Xuan Sheng? Li Luo Er's mouth was agape in shock, how did he end up here? What? Did he really spend the night with him?

  "Hey! Xian Sheng!" Luo Er pushed him gently.

  "Huh?" Lu Xuan Sheng rubbed his blurry eyes, lazily got up, and supported his waist: "Ow! My back hurts!"

  "How did you end up lying here all night? Why didn't you go back to bed and sleep?" Luo Er said with a heartache, looking at Xuan Sheng's half-red and swollen face.

  Lu Xuan Sheng's mouth corners slightly raised, but his heart was depressed. What's going on?! Did I sleep here for a night? Damn, did I mess up or not?!

  "Hehe, I saw you were asleep and was afraid you'd wake up, so I wanted to stay a bit longer, but ended up falling asleep myself..." Xuan Sheng said.

  Luo'er looked at him with an unusual silly expression, smiling slightly. Is this Lu Xiangsheng? Is this the cold and proud monster I know? It's like two different people!

  Two nurses pushed a medical cart over and hung up an IV bag, then gave the child three large and small bottles of infusion.

  Looking at Luo Er's wronged expression, a nurse with an envious face said: "We've been in the hospital for several years and haven't seen a boyfriend who stays up all night taking care of his girlfriend. You're so lucky! Your boyfriend is handsome and considerate..." As she spoke, her face turned red, and she lowered her head to look at Lu Xiangsheng's back.

  The boy wanted to explain something, but still didn't say it out loud, he just pulled the corner of his mouth, as a response.

  "I'm going to buy you breakfast, what do you want to eat?" Lu Xiangsheng asked as he came out of the bathroom.

  "Baozi and porridge is fine, but I want meat baozi!"

  Lu Xuan Sheng's face turned black, this girl, still wants to eat meat in the hospital! Not giving it to her won't do... He turned around and opened the TV for her, "You watch TV or you'll be bored, I'll be back soon!" Then he closed the door tightly and left.

  His right arm was numb and aching, with no sensation at all. His left hand held the remote control, pressing buttons awkwardly as he flipped through channels.

  She switched to Hami's 2 sets of news channels, dropped the remote control, leaned against the pillow and watched with narrowed eyes.

  "The video being played for everyone now was uploaded on the forum of XinYi High School in Hami at 4:10 pm yesterday, we can see a student jumping from the window of the third floor of the school building... As for the detailed reason, there are various speculations..."

  Looking at this news, Luo'er couldn't help but feel a chill in her mind. What? Jumping off the building? That's clearly Lu Xiangsheng! 4 o'clock in the afternoon? Isn't that during the first class? What happened?

  She laboriously fished out her phone from under the pillow and dialed Shen Xiaoxuan's number. "Is class over yet?"

  "Not yet, just a little while longer, are you okay?" Shen Xiao Xuan put her phone behind her textbook and whispered.

  "Lu Xiansheng jumped off the building?"

  "Oh no, I'm going bankrupt!"

  "What? What I'm seeing now is a ghost!" Lí Luòér was slightly dazed.

  "You must have hit your head really hard! He jumped from the third floor and nothing happened to him, and he's still taking care of you in the hospital. Could it be that he's gone missing?"

  "Why did he jump off the building?" Luo Er asked quietly while watching the still broadcasting news.

  "You fainted, he can't get out, afraid that something happened to you and jumped down to find you..."

  Li Lu'er held her mobile phone, staring blankly ahead, her eyes sour and tears falling like broken pearls.

  Why? Are you stupid? Third floor? You also want to jump? What if something goes wrong? You're so stupid! Lu Xiansheng, why are you being so good to me?

  If it were Shen Kai, would he treat me like this? Would he? No!

  Wiped away tears, changed the channel, waiting for Lu Xuan to come back, hoping he wouldn't notice anything unusual, but her heart was turbulent with a thousand thoughts.

  Lu Xiansheng came back to accompany Luo Er for dinner, cleaned up everything, and looked at Luo Er who fell asleep again before going out.

  Lu Xuan Sheng walked away, and Luo Er opened her eyes, unable to hold back tears that flowed out again, wetting the pure white pillow.

  "Goddess, where are you?" Xuan Sheng dialed the phone in the taxi.

  "Come here, Feng Yun!" Mei You lazily got out of bed and called the housekeeper to clean up the room.

  Xuan Sheng walked in through the main entrance and avoided everyone, going straight to the elevator.

  "What's going on so sneakily?" Lu Mei furrowed her brow and shook her head as she watched the surveillance footage.

  "Goddess, you still have a peeping habit? There's even surveillance in the room!" Xuan Sheng said with 12 points of dissatisfaction.

  "What are you sneaking around doing in your own home?"

  "Luo Er's mother works here, and it would be bad if she were caught!"

  Lu Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing at the unexpected thought that her younger brother had such a meticulous mind, which she hadn't noticed before.

  "What's wrong with you again today? I've already dealt with the incident where you jumped off the building yesterday, but fortunately, you're fine. If something had happened to you, I think I would have been dragged down with you!" Lu Meiyou complained, her eyes full of concern.

  "About Bai Shi... I think you're an experienced goddess, do you have any thoughts?"

  Mei Youwo sat on the sofa, staring at Lu Xiansheng and asked in a low voice: "This is a harmonious society, do you want to use force?"

  Lu Xuan Sheng shrugged and shook his head: "Hit a woman? I won't do it!"

  "All I can do is put pressure on the school, making a big deal out of it and making a small deal out of it! But as for more substantial things, I really can't help. However, Bai Shi isn't in your class, so you shouldn't be too worried. This time, her actions have already shaken her father's position as principal. If she wants to continue, the first person who won't let her off easy should be her own father... Bai Qiuren!"

  "It's impossible! A woman like Bai Shi wouldn't care about anyone, her father? He would only be a burial object for her!"

  "Hmm?" Lu Meiyou was very curious about this girl, but didn't want to stoop to her level.

  "Give me a car, this season is still okay, but when winter comes, I think Zhi Quan and I won't be able to hold on! From now on, I'll stick to her 24 hours a day until graduation..." Lu Xiang Sheng let out a breath, saying it lightly, but his eyes were so determined.

  "Hmm? Maserati? Lincoln? Rolls-Royce? Porsche?"

  "...Just get a van, otherwise with so many people, it's going to be a problem if we can't all fit!" Lu Xiangsheng furrowed his brow and thought for half a day.

  "Minivan?!......" Lu Meiyou rubbed her ears.
