LS-23

Yibo stared at the white ceiling blankly.

Seungyoun proposed marriage to him on that night and he claimed that he wanted to give him a home.

After that, Seungyoun also said that he would wait for his reply and kept waiting.

Yibo sighed and was at a loss.

Why was Seungyoun so stubborn?

What’s good about him, he is going to die….

His eyes turned red while thinking about that.

“Yibo, I brought you porridge today…” said Seungyoun softly, Yibo blinked quickly and looked towards him.

Seungyoun seemed like nothing had happened, and helped him to wash his face as usual. He also placed the utensils for him and fed him the porridge spoonful by spoonful.

While eating, Yibo’s tears dropped.

“Why do you cry…?” Seungyoun had no choice but to put down the bowl and helped him to wipe away his tears. He said, “I don’t force you, just think about it slowly.”

Yibo cried even harder.

“Can you stop crying? Does your wound hurt?” Seungyoun was panicked but he did not know how to console him.

The more he behaved like this, the harder Yibo cried.

He could only hug him helplessly.

Yibo’s crying stopped abruptly.

“Please don’t cry, I am sorry, I shouldn’t ask you to marry me suddenly.” Seungyoun said softly,” But, I am sincere and I really hope that you can think properly.”

Yibo was hugged by him blankly and he even forgot to push him away.

He was not worthy, not worthy for Seungyoun to treat him like this….

Something was wrong.

Something was still wrong.

Zhan always felt that something was wrong these days but he could not tell what was wrong.

He looked at Lusi who sat on the sofa and read books in the office.

Was that because of Lusi?

Did the car accident really damage any part of him?

Obviously, Lusi was so lovely but how could he be nauseous when he touched her?

Whenever he touched her, he would become impatient without any reason. He just wanted to get rid of her immediately and then kept a distance from her.

It was going to be crazy.

Zhan rubbed his temples irritably.

“Zhan? What has happened to you?” asked Lusi.

“Nothing, I just want to stay alone for a while.” said Zhan.

“Then I…” Lusi stood up and wanted to wait for him outside.

But, Zhan said, “I am sorry but today, you go back first.”

Lusi saw his exhausted look and so she did not say anything before leaving the office.

What had happened to Zhan these days? He seemed very tired and gloomy all the time.

She could feel that whenever she approached him, his body would become stiff subconsciously. But, it would be covered up by him like nothing had happened.

Was it possible that although something was wrong to his memory, his body still knew that she was not the one who he loved the most?

So, was this the reason that made him reject her?

Lusi felt anxious.

Did he remember something?

No, he could not!

It was not easy for her to give her heart to him.

He could not disappoint her.

It did not matter whether he remembered it or he reacted instinctively, he could never leave her in his life.

Whenever Lusi loved a person, it would not change for a lifetime.

She was an arrogant person.

However, she lowered her limitations for him countless times.

Her pride was like nothing when things came to him.

Anyway, he should belong to her only in his lifetime!

Her only…

Lusi seemed to think of something suddenly. She took her phone out and called Xiao Jianmin.

Jianmin picked up the phone quickly and said, “Lusi, what’s up?”

“Mr. Xiao, I have something to speak with you, Do you have time?” asked Lusi.

“I am free anytime when you look for me.” said Jianmin with a smile.

“Great, then I will come to meet you now immediately.” Lusi hung up the phone and then left hurriedly.

In the office, after Lusi left, Zhan’s exhausted look was being swept away.

He could not believe himself.

Was Lusi having something on her body?

Why whenever she came and yet to touch him, he would feel uncomfortable. As long as she left, his tiredness, anxiety and stiffness would disappear.

Zhan looked outside from the window and he was puzzled.

---

Jianmin looked at Lusi in surprise and asked, “What? Lusi, what you said is true?”

“It is true. Mr. Xiao, this is what I am thinking of.” Lusi’s face was flushed but she said it firmly.

Jianmin remained silent for a while and suddenly smiled then said, “Alright, fine, I can’t expect that the arrogant eldest daughter of the Zhou family in the City is willing to let go of everything and talk this with me. How could I not agree?”

“Mr. Xiao?!” said Lusi in surprise. After that, she was delighted and said, “Do you mean that?!”

“Or course … I agree.” Jianmin said happily, “I can’t wait for you guys get married as soon as possible…”

“Mr. Xiao, it is great that you agree.” Lusi said happily, “Then, thank you for troubling Mr. Xiao to assist me.”

Lusi came out from Jianmin’s house and her face was still flushed.

This was the first time that she let go of her dignity for a man.

She had never thought of taking the initiative to mention marriage in her lifetime.

But as long as she could be together with Zhan, she could do everything.

Lusi left with a smile.

The days were passing day by day…

Daily medical check ups, handfuls of medicine and Seungyoun’s increasing worrying look.

Yibo looked paler and slimmer.

Yibo knew that he had limited time to live.

He did not want to continue living.

If he continued to live, he would only become Seungyoun’s burden.

In addition, Zhan would not be upset for his death, right?

Perhaps, Zhan had already forgotten him.

Yibo looked at the trees outside of the window and he was seemingly unconscious.

Seungyoun looked at Yibo’s spiritless look and felt even more anxious.

He went for a doctor before but the doctor said that it was incurable and the possible thing that could be done was only extending Yibo’s lifetime.

If Yibo cooperated actively, he had at least: three to five years to live. But, as it appeared now, his desire to survive was not strong.

In other words, if he would not want to live anymore, even a doctor could not save him…

Suddenly, Seungyoun said, “Yibo, I hope that you don’t run away from this. I ask you one more time, do you marry me?”

Yibo turned to look at him like a machine.

Throughout these times, Seungyoun appeared even thinner and more haggard because of him.

How could I let him be labeled as a widower without knowing when?

He was still young and having countless possibilities. He should not be roped together with me.

“I am sorry, Seungyoun.” Yibo said, “Please forgive me for rejecting you.”

Seungyoun hung down the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile, “Oh really? I know it, I do not want to force you, I am sorry…”

“I should be the one who apologizes” Yibo said, “If I do not appear, your life will not turn out to be like this.”

“Do you want to have a look at him?” asked Seungyoun.

“He… Why would I want to meet him?” Yibo turned his head away and said, “That’s it.”

“Yibo, why don’t you want to live? The doctor said that your lifetime can be extended more for three to five years.” said Seungyoun.

“But, I need to struggle for more than three to five years. Instead of that, I want to die.” Yibo sighed and said, “You also know how bad the attack of toxicity towards my body is.”

Seungyoun looked at the wounds on Yibo’s exposed skin and closed his eyes. He said, “Ok, I understand.”

Then let me accompany you through the last period of your life.

“Getting married?” Zhan looked at Jianmin in surprise and said, “Aren’t Lusi and I just engaged not long ago? Why so hurry?”

“Then how long do you want to drag on?” Jianmin said, “People all over the country have already known that you are engaged to Lusi!”

“…” Zhan pursed his lips.

Unexpectedly, he rejected his father’s suggestion instinctively.

“This is a notification.” Jianmin said, “You need to marry her even if you do not want to do so, do you understand? It is because Ms Lusi came to speak to me about the marriage in person! She is a girl, still such an arrogant girl. For you, she humbled her attitude to beg me if you can marry her as soon as possible.”

Zhan remained silent.

“… Did you do something to her? So she becomes in a hurry?” asked Jianmin.

“No! I did not even have sex with her!” Zhan denied immediately.

“Even so, this marriage is fixed.” Jianmin said with disappointment, “We and the Zhou family are the leading enterprise in the industry. I do not know how many others who are envious of this strong combination. You should be satisfied.”

Zhan was reluctant in his heart at first.

He also did not know why, obviously, he would want to spend his lifetime with Lusi originally.

But now, Lusi specifically went to his father and brought up the topic of marriage first. Then, he did not have any reason to reject her already.

He loved Lusi, very much.

Zhan hypnotized himself subconsciously.

“Speak something.” said Jianmin when he noticed Zhan who was in silence for a long time.

“Then, let’s do what you have arranged.” said Zhan.

“Great. Then, I will start planning and preparing.” Jianmin said, “You need to know that what I did is for your own sake.”

Zhan nodded and did not speak even a word afterwards.

The voice of resistance in his heart was getting stronger and louder.

It disturbed him to the extent that he was having a headache.

Zhan rubbed his temples and sought a reason to go back to his room.

He looked at himself in the mirror who had a good look.

It was like him but at the same time, it did not seem to be him.

Did he really love Lusi?

But why whenever he approached or touched her, he would feel nauseating and disgusting?

Didn’t he love Lusi?

But the memories were truly existing.

Suddenly, there was a tingling in his head.

Zhan snorted and stopped thinking about it.

Memories were absolutely real and the emotions that he had towards Lusi were due to the car accident for sure. He needed to overcome this problem as soon as possible.

Lusi was going to be his wife.
