Peaceful time always flies by quickly, and it is autumn in a blink of an eye, and it gets darker and earlier, when Li Sui comes home from get off work, as soon as he enters the door, he sees Lu Shang sitting in a wheelchair, reaching for a book on the floor, and walking quickly Go and pick it up for him.
“It’s so early today.” Hearing the voice, Lu Shang went to touch his hand.
Li Sui immediately held his hand, feeling that it was a little cold, pulled up the blanket, and said softly: “Aunt Lu has returned to her hometown, I’m afraid you will be bored if you are alone at home.”
Lu Shang said “Oh” and said: “Don’t delay work.”
Li Sui didn’t listen to him, got up and walked to the back of the chair, put his hands on Lu Shang’s temples and pressed gently, and asked, “Are you feeling better today?”
Lu Shang squinted his eyes in comfort: “Well, it’s much better.”
There was a strong wind last month, and Lu Shang went fishing by the river and caught some rain. When he came back, he caught a cold and had a high fever for several nights.Li Sui was angry and impatient, afraid that he would not take his medicine on time, so he asked for leave to take care of him at home for a few days, and returned to work after the fever subsided.
The past few years have been so smooth that Lu Shang sometimes almost forgets that he is a patient. The fever this time seems to have alarmed the root cause of the disease in his body. I don’t have much energy, and the little flesh that I finally grew up quickly disappeared.
Uncle Yuan mentioned several times to recruit a few nurses to be placed at home, in case Lu Shang could find out in time if something happened, but after hearing this, Lu Shang was extremely disgusted: “I haven’t reached that step yet.”
Just this sentence, Li Sui shut up and never mentioned it again.
People who are sick all the year round are generally a little weird-tempered. Lu Shang has a very gentle temper, but only in this matter, he is extremely stubborn.Li Sui said that he couldn’t talk to him, and forcibly disobeyed his wishes and was afraid of making him angry, so he could only pay more attention to himself.
Dr. Liang’s complexion was not good when he came to make a diagnosis, but he didn’t say much. He only told Lu Shang to reduce his activity level and strictly control his salt intake.Li Sui couldn’t help worrying, although Lu Shang’s heart hadn’t had any major problems in recent years, he still had a heart hanging on him. Li Sui knew that no matter how careful he was in taking care of him, Lu Shang’s illness would still be worse than Lu Shang’s. Ordinary people are much more serious. The main reason is that the heart function is not good and the physical foundation is poor. It cannot be recovered only by maintenance.
Li Sui pressed his temples for a while, then pushed him to the fireplace: “What do you want to eat tonight, I’ll make it for you.”
Just as Lu Shang was about to speak, Li Sui said, “Only light food.”
So Lu Shang stopped talking, and looked like he had lost interest in dinner. Li Sui couldn’t bear to think that he had been drinking porridge for more than half a month, so he said softly, “Let me grill a fish for you.”
Lu Shang has always had no objections to the things he made. Li Sui cleaned up the live fish, pickled it with ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, poured the sauce on it, wrapped it in spices and put it in the oven. While he was busy, Lu Shang turned to him and asked: ” Has Liu Xingtian made any moves recently?”
“He’s been very busy recently and has been working with several old shareholders. I guess he can’t wait any longer.” Li Sui moved skillfully with his hands, and suddenly stopped, “By the way, he went to Mengmeng a few days ago. Miss’s mansion.”
Lu Shang paused, slightly surprised: “Xinyou?”
Meng Xinyou got married the year before last, her husband’s family was a young and promising politician, surnamed Xu, Liu Xingtian must not be looking for Meng Xinyou, but this smooth official Xu.The Meng family owns close to 20% of the shares in Dongyan. Although it belongs to pre-marital property, with Meng Xinyou’s rational and pragmatic personality, Lu Shang is really not 100% sure which side she will stand after marriage.
This is indeed a very difficult matter, if Meng Xinyou changes to support her husband’s family, then they will lose a powerful ally, Liu Xingtian has caught the key this time.
“Don’t think about it, eat something first.” Li Sui moved the wheelchair to the table.
Although the grilled fish was not put in hot sauce and salt, it was very delicious, the sauce was so full of flavor that Lu Shang couldn’t see clearly, Li Sui was afraid that he would be caught by the fishbone, so he used chopsticks to break it into pieces and feed him.
“Is it delicious?” Li Sui especially likes to watch Lu Shang eat his food, and always feels very happy.
Lu Shang nodded, obviously not thinking about food, and asked again: “How is your border plan going?”
Speaking of this, a little regret flashed in Li Sui’s heart: “I discussed it with Xiao Sima, and decided to give up foreign trade and only take domestic routes.”
Lu Shang was slightly surprised: “Why, once your plan is successful, you can immediately gain a foothold in Dongyan.”
Li Sui took out a piece of paper and wiped the corners of his mouth for him: “It’s easy to talk about anything else, we have no way to bypass the customs, this requires government approval, and Liu Xingtian is obstructing it, this matter is really too difficult.”
Lu Shang fell silent after hearing this.
“It’s okay, we have other projects, this one is not bad,” Li Sui smiled indifferently, “The Golden Sands Coast has been completed and is ready to open. I’m afraid I will have a business trip at the end of this month. Do you want to go with me?”
Lu Shang turned his head from the silence and smiled slightly: “Okay.”
At night, when Lu Shang fell asleep, Li Sui went to the terrace and made a call abroad.
Over the past few years, he has expanded his search scope, and has left demand information in almost all places that can match heart donors. He will ask every few months. He waits for a miracle with the most pious heart, but it is a pity Always failed to do so.
After dialing the phone, Li Sui communicated with the other party, but still only got a frustrating reply.
“I see, thank you.” He hung up the phone, propped his head and sighed heavily.
Across the door, the person on the bed had already fallen into a deep sleep, with his pale cheek pressed against the pillow, Li Sui’s eyes fell on him through the glass, his expression softened a little, but at the same time he couldn’t help feeling a sore nose.
Li Sui always thought that no matter how bad a person’s luck is, as long as he repeats this thing a hundred times, a thousand times, he will always succeed once, but no.It seemed that God had already used up all his share of miracles in his life when he met this person in front of him.
Sometimes he even couldn’t help thinking that if time was reversed, he would rather not be with Lu Shang, even if he exchanged his own life, and give him a healthy body, at least he wouldn’t have to drag his sick body to work hard all day like he is now day.
People who have never been sick will never know how hard it is to be sick. Lu Shang never said or revealed many things, but Li Sui knew in his heart that he was actually afraid, afraid of pain, afraid of suffering, I was afraid that one day I would fall asleep and never wake up again.Whenever night falls and his eyes can’t see clearly, he always likes to sit quietly on the chair without moving. Sometimes when Li Sui looks at him, he can’t help but guess, what is he thinking?
People in the world often say that good people are rewarded with good rewards, but Li Sui felt that this was a sad lie, since he had never seen anyone better than Lu Shang.
Due to his health, Lu Shang basically doesn’t go to the company when he has nothing to do, and Li Sui takes care of everything. Only occasionally when there are important decisions, he will take them home to discuss with the two of them.
It was a while after work that day, and Li Sui still hadn’t left, so he rummaged through an old document with Uncle Yuan in the file room.Three years ago when he took over Dongyan, Lu Shang sent Uncle Yuan to his side, leaving only Xiao Zhao to help him drive.
The two of them were sorting out the materials when Uncle Yuan’s cell phone rang suddenly.
The file room was already very quiet, and the two of them were not far apart, so it was easy to hear the voice on the other end. Li Sui sounded familiar, and when Uncle Yuan finished answering the phone, he cast a questioning look at him.
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Uncle Yuan’s face, and he said apologetically, “I have to take a step first.”
Li Sui nodded: “If you have something to do, go and do it. I can find it myself.”
When Uncle Yuan put down the files he had compiled and went out, Li Sui suddenly remembered something, stopped him again, and asked, “Is it Xiao Tang who called just now?”
“Uh, yes…” Uncle Yuan hesitated.
Xiao Tang was the little girl who asked him for help on behalf of Lu Shang at the shareholders’ meeting a few years ago. Li Sui had a good impression of her, and noticed that Uncle Yuan’s expression was different, so he couldn’t help but care, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Uncle Yuan’s embarrassment suddenly became more embarrassing, he hesitated for a while, and told the truth: “…it’s Mr. Lu.”
Li Sui’s hand holding the file trembled unconsciously.
“Mr. Lu took three people to socialize with the government in the afternoon, but they were all force-fed, and even the driver was not spared. Only Xiao Tang was still a little conscious, so he called me and asked me to pick them up. people.”
Even the driver was doused, how much did he drink!
Li Sui’s face suddenly darkened terribly, he got up immediately, threw down two words, and quickly walked out the door past Uncle Yuan.
“I go.”
Along the way, Li Sui tried his best to control his emotions. He couldn’t get angry, lose his temper, or use violence. Although Lu Shang ran out without saying hello, even though he was a heart patient, he still drank without telling him. Drunk, even though… Li Sui closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but still couldn’t hold back, and slammed the steering wheel hard, wanting to gnaw his teeth.
Gritting his teeth in anger all the way, Li Sui even thought about how to question Lu Shang, but when he opened the door of the private room and saw the people curled up in a ball on the sofa, all his emotions disappeared, only worry remained.
“Lu Shang?” He walked over and patted lightly, but there was no response.
The smell of alcohol in the room was very heavy, the guests had already left, only a few accompanying guests were swaying to the side, Li Sui shook Xiao Tang, the girl was still awake, but she was too drunk to walk steadily, His eyes were blurred for a long time before he could find his position.
“Can you go? Where do you live?”
Xiao Tang patted his forehead, but fortunately he was still conscious, waved his hand and said, “No, just help open a few rooms upstairs, and you can pick Mr. Lu back soon, he drank too much…”
Li Sui turned to look at Lu Shang, and saw that his brows were wrinkled, his palms were tightly clutching his chest, and his heart was hanging at the top of his throat: “How much did he drink?”
“Light white, at least four cups.”
Li Sui’s eyes fell on the glass on the table, and he clenched his fists.
Fortunately, there are guest rooms upstairs, Li Sui opened three single rooms, sent the drunks in one by one, called the room service to take care of them, and then left the hotel with the lander.
Lu Shang’s drinking capacity is not too bad, but because of his health, he is almost insulated from alcohol, and no one in Dongyan dared to drink him. It was the first time Li Sui saw him so drunk that he lost all consciousness.
After leaving the hotel, he carried him into the back seat of the car. Li Sui climbed up and lifted Lu Shang’s eyelids to check carefully. He was still worried and planned to take him to the hospital, but he just let go of his hand to open the car door. Suddenly he was grabbed.
When Li Sui turned his head, he saw a pair of bottomless eyes looking at him faintly. Because of his drunkenness, his eyes were covered with mist.The parking lot was dimly lit, the wind was blowing in from the exit, and the surroundings were so quiet that there seemed to be an echo.
“Don’t go.” Lu Shang moved his lips, his voice hoarse.
The simple two words immediately brought up the turbulent emotions in Li Sui’s heart. Li Sui’s throat was choked with pain, and he swallowed hard, lowering his head and looking at him: “Do you think I don’t care about what you do? Will be angry?”
Lu Shang stared at him, and gradually revealed an uneasy expression upon hearing the words, rubbed against the back of his hand, flattering him: “Don’t be angry…”
Li Sui felt sore eyes, slowly withdrew his hand, not looking at him.
Unable to touch it, Lu Shang seemed a little aggrieved, his wet eyes were chasing after him: “Your border plan, I helped you negotiate it, are you not happy?”
“Who told you to go?” Li Sui’s eyes were red, and tears rolled in his eyes.
“You think,” Lu Shang stretched out his hand towards him, but he was so exhausted that he lowered his expression sadly, “…I know you want to.”
Li Sui closed his eyes, opened them again, and saw Lu Shangshang looking at him with pleading eyes, finally gave up, as if resigned to his fate, leaned over and embraced him: “I just want you to be healthy, why don’t you not understand……”
He had to admit that Lu Shang made the right bet again, and he really couldn’t really get angry with him.This person, every move, every frown and smile, has long been firmly affecting his heart. Even if he knew that Lu Shang did it on purpose, he couldn’t be cruel to him.
Partly for punishment, partly for worry, Li Sui ignored Lu Shang’s objection and sent him to the hospital.Being drunk like this, it was inevitable that he would be scolded by Dr. Liang, but Li Sui knew that he had not fulfilled his duty as a guardian, so he accepted it without saying a word.
The results of the examination were really not satisfactory. Alcohol is very harmful to the heart. Lu Shang had a bad cold some time ago, and his body has not recovered. This move is tantamount to making things worse.After hearing Liang Zirui’s words, Li Sui’s heart ached.The medicine was prescribed, and Li Sui fed it to him. After pouring water, Lu Shang could no longer resist the drowsiness caused by the medicine, and curled up on the bedside and fell asleep.
Li Sui covered him with the quilt, stared at him for a moment, then turned and went to Liang Zirui’s office.
“Doctor Liang.” Li Sui knocked on the door.
Liang Zirui was writing a report in front of the computer, when he heard this, he turned to look at him.
“Tell me honestly, is Lu Shang hiding something from me again?”
Liang Zirui was surprised: “Why do you ask that?”
“I don’t know, I always have a bad feeling.” Li Sui sighed wearily.
Liang Zirui paused for a moment: “From the results of the inspection, there really isn’t one. I can assure you of this, but…”
Li Sui raised his head, and Liang Zirui frowned and said: “He knows his own physical condition very well. In many cases, he even surpasses me as a doctor. He knows when not to treat and when to treat. Sometimes I prescribe medicine for him and I won’t force him if he doesn’t take it, that’s why, when it’s time for treatment, he will take the initiative to come to me even if I don’t say anything.”
“In other words, if even he starts to pay attention to his condition, then you should really pay more attention.” Liang Zirui asked, “Why, did you find something abnormal?”
Li Sui shook his head: “No, I just feel uneasy.”
“Don’t think too much.” Liang Zirui comforted.
Li Sui nodded and didn’t speak any more.
The border project is indeed a good project with a firm foothold. Once it is obtained, it is equivalent to having a government background. This will be a strong backing for Li Sui, even if Liu Xingtian takes all Dongyan’s shareholders under his banner in the future , he still has enough capital to compete.
But they haven’t reached that step yet, and this is not the only solution to this matter. Lu Shang is so eager to pave the way for him, but he feels a little panicked.
