This was probably the most beautiful morning that Zhan Ji could imagine. The sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows made the whole dining table warm and bright. It seems to be warming up.

Zhan Ji helped Xia Xi serve the porridge, dripped vinegar and sesame oil on his steamed eggs, and brought his own share to the table.The steamed eggs were cooked just right, whether it smelled or looked at it, it made people's index fingers twitch. Xia Xi's stomach was already being scratched by greedy worms, so he picked up a spoon and dug a spoonful.

As soon as Zhan Ji sat down, he saw this scene and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xi, don't eat yet, wait..."

It's a pity that he was a few seconds late, and Xia Xichao put it into his mouth too quickly. Before he could say the word 'cool', the boy had already put it into his mouth with a whimper.

"Is it hot?"

Zhan Ji hurried forward, put his hand on the young man's mouth, and motioned him to spit out the steamed egg, but unexpectedly the young man swallowed the food in his mouth in one gulp, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not Deliberately not listening to you..."

Swallowing so fast that he couldn't help coughing, but he didn't seem to feel whether he was burned or choked, so he just continued to explain: "It's because the movements of the hands are too fast, and it's too late to stop." ,...don't be angry, okay?"

Zhan Ji was stunned.

It was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water in a pocket, and his whole body was chilling despite the spring breeze outside, Xia Xi's panic eyes that vaguely reproduced the panic he had in the car yesterday made him feel extremely painful, and it took him a long time before he spoke with some difficulty: " Xiaoxi..."

The boy waited anxiously for his answer.

However, Zhan Ji was the most disturbed one in the room. The extremely disturbed feeling made his heart sink, but he couldn't show it on his face. Instead, he tried his best to soften his posture and coax him carefully. : "...I'm not angry. Open your mouth and let me see if you're burned?"

The boy was like a machine with one mouthful and one command, and immediately opened his mouth very obediently.Fortunately, the steamed egg cooled relatively quickly. Although the temperature was high, it would not burn people. Zhan Ji carefully blew on Xia Xi's reddish tongue, "Does it hurt?"

"Ding——, the abuse value has increased by 2 points, and the abuse value is now 72."

"Ding——, the favorite value has increased by 5 points, and the current favorite value is 55."

Zhan Ji saw that Xia Xi shook his head in a daze, but he didn't know if he didn't hurt or didn't know whether it hurt or not. This time he tried the bowl wall with his own hands and said: "This temperature can be eaten."

As if he had received an order, the boy continued to move after listening to his words. His big eyes narrowed slightly because of the delicious food, and his cheeks, which had a little baby fat that hadn't faded away, were bulging because of the food, making him look even cuter.The hair was a little messy from sleeping, and a few unruly strands were curled up. They were dyed golden by the morning light, and they were so fluffy that one wanted to knead them.

Everything returned to warmth and beauty again, but Zhan Ji could no longer ignore the ever-expanding chill in his heart, and he was still restless until he went to the company. On the one hand, he comforted himself that such a well-behaved and obedient Jing Xi was what he wanted in his dreams. Knowing that it's not the real Jingxi, even the warm companionship at this moment is just a bubble that can burst with a poke.

This feeling is actually similar to the feeling of despair. He is clearly in peace, but he knows that the end is nothingness and fragments.I can only pray that the brokenness will not come too early, the time at this moment will not go too fast, and the end will never come, - I hope his journey will be long.

Zhan Ji's subordinates clearly felt the boss's recent distraction. After Jiang Tezhu reported the matter, he saw that Zhan Ji was still looking at the laptop and did not respond. He did not dare to speak out to remind him, so he silently repeated the story again.

Zhan Ji was looking at the screen of the living room connected to the computer.

The apartment he lives in now had cameras installed before, originally for security purposes, but there were only two in the living room, and Zhan Ji asked someone to directly connect the monitoring content to his computer and mobile phone.And the boy stayed in the living room all the time, didn't enter the bedroom or go out, just curled up on the sofa to read a book, his pale skin diffused a soft breath under the light, he looked like a swan with a beautiful posture but curled up to perch .Zhan Ji has already helped Xia Xi install the previous card into the new phone, and put it on the coffee table when he left, but even if it vibrated, it didn't arouse his interest, and he still curled up with the book, alone The figure of Zhan Ji Wuyuan felt distressed, and he was even more shocked to notice that the book in his hand hadn't been turned over for a long time.

When Zhan Ji rushed back in the afternoon, Xia Xi had already fallen asleep on the sofa. Zhan Ji tried to cover him with a blanket, but he opened his eyes in a daze. And some are out of focus, and the hair is in a mess.

"Do you want to carry you to bed?"

The young man who was not fully awake looked at him blankly: "..."

Zhan Ji couldn't help but patted his head: "Xiaoxi is so good."

Still at a loss: "..."

Zhan Ji finally kissed him, and his hot lips gently pressed against the cool lips of the young man.

The boy finally woke up at the moment of the kiss, and seemed to be struggling subconsciously, but after seeing clearly that it was him, he turned into complete obedience.But this kind of obedience made Zhan Ji feel a chill again, stopped, turned to look at the vibrating mobile phone: "Xiaoxi, the phone is ringing, won't you answer it?"

The young man didn't respond, and only frowned a little when Zhan Ji asked again: "I can't answer..."

"Why can't you take it?"

He didn't answer, his brows suddenly frowned even tighter, and his body trembled a little, as if falling into some kind of fearful memory or chaos again, causing Zhan Ji to help him by the shoulder to force him to calm down: "Shh, Xiaoxi, good boy ,look at me."

Xia Xi looked at him slowly, Zhan Ji tried to change the subject: "Will you accompany me to the kitchen to cook?"

Sure enough, as long as it was what he said, Xia Xitong nodded: "Okay."

Zhan Ji finally realized what was wrong, and the words Xia Xi said when he begged him to stop echoed in his ears: From now on, no one will call, and I will do whatever you ask me to do...

Please, I can not go anywhere, just look at you...

Zhan Ji suddenly felt that he was submerged in cold water from head to toe, and a chill that was similar to before but deeper, like coming from hell, spread all over his body.I remember one time when he got angry because of a subordinate's mistake, Zhanying learned from his grandfather's words to persuade him, saying that there is no need to be too harsh, and don't take it to heart. After all, it is someone else's fault and it will pass sooner or later.It was only at this moment that Zhan Ji finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Because it is someone else's fault, you can still vent and excuse yourself. This matter will pass in your heart sooner or later, and what you will never get over in your heart is that the person who made the mistake is yourself.

My whole body was numb with pain, but I didn't even have the qualifications to repent.

Zhan Ji's heart seemed to be pulled out by a silk thread, and it was tightly tied to Xia Xi's body. Every move of the other party pulled his heart. Only when he held him in his arms at night could he feel a little more stable every day. , looking at the sleeping face of the other party over and over again and slowly fell asleep.Until midnight, he opened his eyes again because of the high temperature on his body.

This kind of unexplained fever has happened continuously for several days, Zhan Ji finally cruelly woke up the person in his arms: "Xiaoxi, let's go to the hospital."

Xia Xi still agreed to every word he said without any surprises, but resisted desperately when he saw the car when he went out.Even though he was extremely weak from the fever, he still struggled as hard as he could, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his tone even pleaded: "Don't take the car...don't go...I'll be obedient...don't go to the hospital, okay..."

Every time he said good or bad, the ending sound was very soft because of Jingmu's southern accent, making people want to agree to every request of him for no reason, but Zhan Ji felt that his words were like sharp knives in his heart, everywhere. Drenched with blood, he could only hold back the pain in his fierce struggle and tried to steady the frightened young man, coaxing him over and over again: "Well, I won't go, Xiao Xi is not afraid, we won't go..."

But this is not the extreme of heartache. The next day at noon when Zhan Ji went back, he couldn’t find Xia Xi. When he walked into the bathroom, he found that it was a mess, and the glass for rinsing his mouth was also broken. what.

His hand was already bleeding, but it was as if he couldn't see it at all. Zhan Ji reacted quickly and immediately carried him out of the bathroom, but Xia Xi broke free from Zhan Ji's strength and tried to go back to the bathroom. , with a look of panic: "The ring is gone..."

The system dutifully sent out the reminder sound that both the abused value and the favored value had increased, but Zhan Ji was so distressed that he didn't care about any rings at all, and just went to check Xia Xi's cut hand.Xia Xi once again showed strong disobedience like seeing the car, struggling not to let him touch it, insisting on looking for the ring, Zhan Ji can only be thankful that the boy is still willing to follow his 'instructions': "Sit here obediently , I'll go find it."

In the end, Xia Xi was willing to bandage him after he was found. He had a fever again at night, and the tone of the family doctor who came to see him changed from a suggestion to a demand: "You must go to the hospital for a detailed examination. It is best to have a full body examination."

When they reunited, Zhan Ji had imagined locking up the young man so that he would not see anyone else except himself, but now that he had fulfilled his wish, even if he didn't use force to lock him up, he wouldn't go out.Zhan Ji opened his mouth blankly, trying to take a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, only to find that his heart hurts so much that he can't breathe.

And all of this is self-eating, no matter how painful it is, you can only swallow it yourself.

Just like coaxing small animals, Zhan Ji began to coax Xia Xi out step by step with great patience, even if it was just driving to a shopping mall only 1000 meters away from home instead of a hospital.It's a pity that what the doctor said to fight poison with poison is self-defeating. The teenager is more and more afraid of cars, and his fever seems to be worse because of this. Zhan Ji finally gave up on the family doctor's advice and asked his staff to send a bicycle. Just like when I was in school six years ago, I drove him slowly in circles in the large and sunny living room.

Suddenly, it seemed as if he had returned to his student days. Through time, he saw that beautiful young man in school uniform smiling at him, and almost shed tears at this moment.The movement of Zhan Ji kneeling down slowly is the same as when he confessed to Xia Xi with father Jing's 'evidence', his voice was steady and slightly hoarse, and he stared at him in silence for a long time, first he landed on one knee, and then the other leg did the same. Unconsciously, she knelt down, held Xia Xi's hand tightly, and begged hopelessly in her eyes: "Xiao Xi, forgive me..."

Xia Xi looked at him with blank eyes.

At around four o'clock in the morning, Xia Xi's body temperature rose again, and this time it reached the point of crying out.Zhan Ji became inexplicably flustered, and with trembling hands, he reluctantly helped Xia Xi change his clothes and wrap him in a coat, then directly picked him up on his back, and hurried to the hospital in the city center.Although Xia Xi is very thin, he is a 1.7-meter-five boy after all. Under normal circumstances, even a person with the best physique can run 500 meters on his back until he is panting and exhausted. However, Zhan Ji ran for a full nine kilometers until Xia Xi was pushed. The emergency room still dare not relax.

Every minute and every second of waiting outside felt like years. When Assistant Jiang Te came to help with the formalities, he saw their always expressionless boss standing opposite the doctor showing unprecedented pain and panic.

"It is initially suspected to be an intracranial tumor, but further examinations are needed."

The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Zhan Ji listened to the doctor's continuation with his mind almost blank: "Persistent fever is a symptom. If you seek medical treatment as early as the first two fevers, you will be more sure of treatment. But the longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it is. Is he unable to see clearly? Why didn't the family members send him to the hospital earlier?"

Another doctor followed suit: "The patient's leg also needs to be treated. His left leg has knee sequelae caused by a car accident, and he needs medication to prevent recurrence."

"Car accident?" Zhan Ji's voice was trembling, "...when did the car accident happen?"

Fortunately, the doctor has also seen life and death, and he only gave him a slightly strange and sympathetic look, "Judging by the injury and scars, it was about six years ago."
