Chapter 81: Oxygen Deprivation

Ying Huai turned around without hesitation and walked straight outside.

Liang Shining lifted his foot to follow, but the Old Man in front of him was still earnestly trying to persuade him: 'Look, you can't do this, young man. Even if his health isn't good, you can't just give up on him. You have to encourage him to keep getting treatment...'

'I've never wanted to give up on him.'

Liang Shining, eager to chase after him, hurriedly replied offhand: 'He ran off on his own.'

The Old Man in the wheelchair was stunned for a moment.

Liang Shining no longer cared about anything else. He went around the wheelchair in front of him, took two quick steps, and grabbed Ying Huai's hand: 'Shifu!'

Before he could say anything, the next second, he saw Ying Huai's gaze fall calmly onto his hand.

Liang Shining's fingers trembled instinctively, and he abruptly let go.

Ying Huai turned sideways without the slightest hesitation and continued walking outside.

Liang Shining had no choice. He stepped forward and directly blocked Ying Huai's path: 'Wait a moment, Shifu.'

He saw Ying Huai's brow furrow instantly, and hurriedly said: 'I'm not touching you, Shifu... don't send me away, okay?'

Ying Huai's footsteps paused.

Liang Shining saw him stop, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: 'I'm sorry, Shifu. Don't be angry with me. Can we talk for a bit...'

The Old Man in the wheelchair behind him was still chattering away about something.

Ying Huai felt inexplicably irritated. He crossed his arms, took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed: 'Fine, then let's talk.'

'When did you find out?' he looked at Liang Shining and said calmly.

Liang Shining was stunned.

A flash of panic crossed his face. He silently opened his mouth to say something, but the next second, he heard Ying Huai, arms still crossed, continue speaking.

'Or rather—when did you start deceiving me?'

Liang Shining was silent for a few seconds, then said quietly: 'The first episode... of the show.'

Ying Huai: ?

He was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing the next second.

'That long...'

He hadn't laughed long before he couldn't help coughing, but his eyes were still curved in a smile.

Liang Shining watched him cough just a few times before his face visibly went pale, and reached out, terrified, to support him.

'It's my fault, Shifu. Don't be angry...'

'How could it be your fault?'

Ying Huai turned sideways to avoid his support, covered his lips with a smile and raised his eyes: 'I'm the fool, being deceived by you for so long without knowing a thing.'

'Was it fun watching me being led around by the nose by your deception, Liang Shining?'

Liang Shining immediately shook his head: 'No, I didn't mean it that way, Shifu...'

'Don't call me Shifu.' Ying Huai said through gritted teeth.

After coughing for so long, not only had he not recovered his breath, his heart was also throbbing with pain.

The worry on the Old Man and Liang Shining's faces annoyed him even more. Ying Huai frowned, pushed Liang Shining away, and stumbled outside.

Liang Shining, afraid Ying Huai would fall, stepped back following his force.

He instinctively wanted to chase after him, but seeing Ying Huai's visibly pale face from earlier, he was afraid pursuing him would only make Ying Huai angrier.

Liang Shining's footsteps paused for a moment, and the next second he heard a frustrated voice from behind.

'Go after him! What are you waiting for?'

The Old Man from earlier had somehow already pushed his wheelchair forward two steps, and was now turning his head and frantically gesturing at him.

'You've got arms and legs, surely you can't be slower than me in this wheelchair going at full speed?'

Liang Shining hesitated: 'But he doesn't really want to see me...'

'His not wanting to see you—what does that have to do with you wanting to see him?'

Liang Shining's expression froze for a moment.

The Old Man wished he could just hand the wheelchair over and go chase the man himself: 'I saw how worried you were about him just now, nearly going out of your mind. How can you still be stuck on this stubborn point now?'

Liang Shining stood there in a daze.

Seeing he still hadn't caught on, the Old Man continued, frustrated: 'I wanted to ask earlier—what's your relationship with that young man?'

'Is he your family? Even if he's not, if he's someone important to you, you have to do everything you can to coax him...'

Liang Shining shook his head: 'He is... and he isn't.'

He seemed to realize something. He tossed out a sentence and ran headlong toward the direction Ying Huai had left.

'He's the person I like.'

The Old Man was stunned for a moment, then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

The next second, he realized something and suddenly looked up: 'Hey, don't run so fast, wait for your old man—'

.

The Hospital's small garden wasn't large, but it had a few winding paths.

But Liang Shining walked almost to the edge of the garden without seeing any sign of Ying Huai.

Liang Shining frowned, sensing something was wrong, turned around and quickly walked back.

Instead, the Old Man pushing his wheelchair, unable to move fast, turned a corner and spotted the person in the pavilion at the very corner with his sharp eyes.

'Hey, why are you here? Where's that young man from earlier?'

The Old Man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed his wheelchair over to Ying Huai.

Ying Huai was leaning against a pillar beside the pavilion with one hand, sitting sideways in the very corner of the pavilion, his head slightly lowered, lost in thought.

He heard the voice in front of him and instinctively looked up, his gaze somewhat scattered. It took him a long while before he seemed to recognize who was before him.

'It's you...'

Ying Huai pressed a hand to his chest, turned his head and coughed a few times, then curved his lips slightly: 'How did you follow me?'

'If not me, then who?'

The Old Man leaned over, gossipy: 'You're just waiting for that young man to come find you, aren't you.'

Ying Huai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed despite himself: 'No, cough... you're overthinking it.'

'Otherwise why would you specifically sit here without moving?' The Old Man felt he'd guessed right, his tone especially certain.

'Or do you have some other explanation?'

The Old Man stared at him for a few seconds, his brow slowly furrowing: 'You're not feeling well?'

The person in front of him was breathing more rapidly than before, slightly hunched over with one hand pressed to his chest, seeming somewhat unwell.

Ying Huai's expression paused slightly.

The next second, he shook his head and smiled, looking up: 'No, I'm fine.'

'Then if you're not unwell, you must be waiting for someone.'

The Old Man clapped his hands and made his final verdict: 'I knew my guess was right.'

Ying Huai was at a loss between laughter and tears for a moment.

'Aren't these two propositions not necessarily mutually exclusive?'

The Old Man glanced at the path corner not far away and spotted a familiar figure with his sharp eyes.

A flash of delight crossed the Old Man's face. He was about to raise his hand to call out, but the next second, he saw that figure pause, then instantly hide behind the nearby bushes.

The Old Man gritted his teeth.

—Damn it, who's the elder here? Found the person and still don't dare come over.

The Old Man snorted through his nose and could only dutifully continue helping stall Ying Huai.

His eyes rolled, and he waved his big hand in front of Ying Huai: 'Don't try to argue with me, I don't understand any of it. Anyway, you just said yourself it wasn't the first one, so it must be the second.'

The Old Man tried to bring up the topic again: 'That young man must have an unusual relationship with you. Standing in front of you earlier, he looked like he was about to lose his mind with worry.'

Unfortunately, Ying Huai didn't take the bait.

Lost in thought, he only let out a soft 'ah' after a few seconds.

'Sorry, I didn't catch what you just said.'

Ying Huai didn't wait for the Old Man to say anything else. He braced himself against the pillar beside the pavilion and slowly stood up: 'I still have some things to do. Why don't you keep pondering here, I'll just go first...'

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his heart give a heavy thump.

Ying Huai instantly sensed something was wrong.

He abruptly bent over and clutched his chest. Before he could say anything, an uncontrolled flash of pain crossed his face.

Ying Huai swayed, and amid the Old Man's panicked shouts beside him, he collapsed without warning.

In his daze, he heard the Old Man's exasperated voice: 'Alright, stop hiding over there! Your beloved is about to collapse!'

Ying Huai's consciousness was too muddled to notice how the Old Man had addressed him at the end.

Before he could process anything, the next second, he felt himself falling into a familiar embrace.

.

Ying Huai had no strength in his body. Even being held, he couldn't help sliding down.

Liang Shining, afraid of hurting him, simply followed his momentum and crouched down, letting Ying Huai sit fully in his arms.

Ying Huai's face was contorted in pain. He clutched his chest and gasped rapidly, his lips faintly turning blue—a clear sign of oxygen deprivation.

'He was perfectly fine just now, then suddenly closed his eyes and collapsed, looking like he was in a lot of pain...'

The Old Man spoke anxiously, but Liang Shining instantly realized something.

He reached out and pressed Ying Huai's wrist. The pulse beneath his fingers was beating very fast, but not as irregular as he'd feared.

Liang Shining's tense body relaxed slightly.

He gathered the person closer into his arms and said softly: 'Relax, Ying Huai, breathe deeply. It's just a bit of arrhythmia, don't be afraid...'

Ying Huai couldn't speak. One hand pressed desperately against his chest, the other unconsciously pushed away Liang Shining's touch.

Liang Shining frowned, but held him even tighter.

He guided Ying Huai's head to rest on his shoulder, took out a Medicine Bottle from his pocket, and placed a pill under Ying Huai's tongue.

Ying Huai's jaw was tightly clenched. Unlike before, he wasn't obedient—as soon as he felt the pill enter his mouth, he instinctively pushed it out with his tongue.

'Ying Huai—' Liang Shining said softly.

'Don't... get away from me...' Ying Huai's breathing was disordered, and he gasped out hurriedly.

Liang Shining's arm around him tightened instantly.

The next second, he suddenly leaned down, gently pressed his lips to Ying Huai's, and skillfully used his tongue to push the pill back in his mouth.

The Old Man in the wheelchair beside them exclaimed 'Holy shit,' frantically pushing his wheelchair to try to block them from view, but couldn't help turning his head to sneak a peek.

Ying Huai's eyes suddenly flew open.

He instinctively tried to turn his head away, but he had no strength to begin with. His so-called 'struggle' was no more than a kitten's batting paws, easily soothed by Liang Shining.

Ying Huai barely gathered a thread of consciousness through the haze, exerted force with his lips, and suddenly bit down.

Liang Shining felt the pain, but didn't let go of the person in front of him. Instead, he held him tighter.

Only when the taste of blood and medicine spread together between their lips did Liang Shining slowly straighten up, lowering his gaze to look at the person in his arms.

Ying Huai's struggling had stopped at some unknown point.

His eyes were a bit unfocused, but thankfully his breathing and heartbeat had returned to normal. Unconsciously, he reached out to grip his sleeve, curling up in his arms, his eye sockets slightly reddened.

He felt Liang Shining's gaze, seemed to realize something, and suddenly let go.

Liang Shining didn't say anything.

He lowered his eyes and silently helped Ying Huai rub his chest in slow strokes.

After a few seconds, he felt a sudden coolness on his wrist, followed by the slightly hoarse voice of the person in front of him: '.......Enough.'

Liang Shining's movements paused.

He still didn't resist, silently let go, took the thermos he'd had ready from the side, and poured out a cup of water.

Ying Huai finally had some strength in his body now.

He frowned, instinctively wanting to push away, but the next second, he heard Liang Shining speak in a low voice.

'Didn't you want me to get lost?'

'Once you're not feeling unwell, I'll leave immediately.'

Ying Huai's movements paused.

After a few seconds, he wordlessly turned his head, reached out to take the cup, and drank it down in one gulp.

He drank a bit too quickly and accidentally choked. The next second, he felt Liang Shining skillfully reach out and pat his back in slow strokes.

The Old Man beside them turned his head at the sound, saw that Ying Huai's complexion had finally returned to normal, and let out a long breath.

'Not bad, young man, you've got some skills. His complexion is not only much better than before, it's even gotten rosy.'

The Old Man leaned forward, looking at the suspicious flush on Ying Huai's face, and said cheerfully: 'Alright, if you ask me, you two should stop fighting. Is there anything that can't be resolved.........'

'You've misunderstood.'

Ying Huai rubbed his brow, looked up and smiled at the Old Man: 'I have no relationship with him at all........'

'Alright, stop being stubborn.'

The Old Man turned his wheelchair, preparing to leave the space for the two in front of him, and waved his hand at Ying Huai with his back turned.

'Don't think I didn't notice your reaction just now. Young people can't be so contrary——I'm leaving. Come visit me when you have time.'

Ying Huai was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, the Old Man had already pushed his wheelchair quickly around the corner.

The surroundings suddenly fell quiet. The sky gradually darkened, a cold wind blew through, and Ying Huai couldn't help but shiver.

Liang Shining subtly shifted to the side to block the wind for him, and said in a low voice: 'Shifu——'

Ying Huai glanced at him, and Liang Shining immediately corrected himself: 'It's too cold outside, let me help you inside first, okay......'

'No need.'

Ying Huai lowered his eyes, braced himself on the pillar beside him and stood up.

His body swayed uncontrollably, but before Liang Shining could reach out to support him, he had already steadied himself on his own.

He took a step back, looking at Liang Shining with a calm expression: 'I'm fine now, you can leave.'

Liang Shining's body stiffened for a moment.

He instinctively said: 'It's too late now, you're not safe alone. I'll wait with you........'

Before he could finish, he suddenly heard a gentle voice from behind: 'Xiao Huai?'

Ying Qi stood at the end of the garden path, walking briskly toward them.

Liang Shining was stunned. A visible flash of disappointment crossed his expression. Ying Huai silently let out a breath.

'Alright, my brother's here now. You can leave, right?'

He stood up and carelessly dusted himself off.

'Oh, even if you don't leave, I'm leaving.'

As he spoke, he walked briskly out of the pavilion, hearing Liang Shining say softly behind him: 'Goodbye, Ying Huai.'

'Please don't.'

Ying Huai said lazily without turning back: 'Best to never see each other again.'

·

Ying Qi's car was parked right at the Hospital entrance. The moment he got in, Ying Huai was hit in the face by the warm air inside.

'Doctor Song told me your checkup finished an hour ago. Where did you go just now, Xiao Huai?'

Ying Huai covered his mouth as he yawned, suddenly feeling drowsy.

He curled up lazily in the car seat, watching Ying Qi lean over to buckle his seatbelt for him.

'Nothing........The weather looked nice outside, so I took a walk in the little garden for a while.'

Ying Qi nodded thoughtfully.

His gaze fell on Ying Huai's face, and the next second, his brow furrowed instantly.

'What happened to your mouth?'

Ying Huai was stunned for a moment.

He instinctively raised his hand to touch it, and the sudden pain made him hiss.

When he'd bitten down earlier, he'd used too much force and accidentally broken the skin a little himself.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Ying Huai's expression: 'I don't remember.......It's nothing anyway.'

Ying Qi's expression became unusually grave. He stopped the car and was about to go find Song Si Lan: 'No, what if it's another problem with your body? I'll go ask Song Si Lan, see if he has any idea........'

Ying Huai:?

'I'm really fine, gege.'

Ying Huai hurriedly reached out to grab his older brother.

He took a deep breath, turned his head somewhat awkwardly: 'There was a big dog in the little garden just now. When I was dodging.......I accidentally bumped into something.'

Ying Qi was stunned.

He didn't react for a moment, his expression growing more anxious: 'Dog? Did it bite you? Do you need a rabies shot........'

Ying Huai:........

He looked at his older brother somewhat sullenly and let out a small sigh: 'No need.'

'That dog is domesticated, it wouldn't hurt me.'

Ying Qi was stunned again.

He looked at Ying Huai's slightly reddened ear tips, and belatedly realized something. With a strange expression, he sat back in the car.

After a while, Ying Huai heard his older brother say quietly: 'Then next time still.......pay more attention, ahem, restrain yourself.'

Ying Huai:?

·

Because of that incident at the Hospital, Ying Huai had been cold-shouldering Song Si Lan for nearly three days.

Until, after being made to wince by the bitterness of Song Si Lan's medicine three times in a row, Ying Huai finally couldn't help but break the silence himself.

'This is revenge, Song Si Lan.' Ying Huai said sullenly, leaning against the headboard.

Song Si Lan's movements as he gave the injection paused, and he seemed to let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

But when he looked up again, his expression had returned to its usual coldness.

'What did I do?'

'It's clearly your fault, so why am I the one being punished.' Ying Huai reached out to take another packet of medicine Song Si Lan handed him, complaining quietly.

Song Si Lan glanced at him: 'What's my problem? I'm a doctor. Everything I do, I prioritize my patient's recovery.'

Ying Huai was stunned, then looked up with some amusement: 'Sending me to see Liang Shining is good for my health?'

Song Si Lan straightened up and said unhurriedly: 'Don't you think your mental state has been much better since that day?'

He glanced down at him: 'Now you can even bicker with me. You're no longer the half-dead look you had on the first day I saw you.'

Ying Huai was stunned.

Before he could say anything more, he saw Song Si Lan suddenly make a hushing gesture at him: 'Alright, it was just this once anyway, I won't agree to help again. I'll tell Ying Qi in a bit that we can reduce the food therapy these past two days. Can you let me off now?'

Ying Huai narrowed his eyes.

He stared at Song Si Lan for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: 'Of course——not enough.'

'Shouldn't Doctor Song unban some of my snacks?'

'Also, to return the favor, why doesn't Doctor Song tell me about the secret story between you and Doctor Yu?'

Song Si Lan went still for a moment.

Then he looked up with a half-smile: 'Don't push your luck, Ying Huai.'

Ying Huai crossed his arms leisurely and said slowly: 'Then the snacks——'

Song Si Lan immediately realized he'd fallen into his trap.

He gritted his teeth, then finally said quietly: 'Just these two days. After that, you still need to keep controlling it.'

Ying Huai's eyes curved instantly: 'Deal.'

·

For Song Si Lan's promise of 'two days,' Ying Huai took the unprecedented initiative the next day to ask Ying Qi to go to the supermarket.

Though somewhat surprised, Ying Qi immediately happily agreed and took the initiative to drive him to the supermarket.

By the time Ying Huai slept through the whole way, he realized Ying Qi hadn't taken him to the supermarket near their home.

'Why are we here, gege?'

Ying Qi said naturally: 'It's not often you get out, let's go to a bigger supermarket and buy more.'

Ying Huai was still groggy from sleep, didn't think too much about it, and obediently got out of the car.

Until he saw that Ying Qi didn't seem to have any intention of getting out.

'Aren't you coming in with me, gege?'

Ying Qi said warmly: 'Gege still has some things to do, needs to go to the company. Browse first, call me when you're done.'

He looked up and curved his eyes at Ying Huai playfully: 'Don't worry, gege isn't running from the bill. I'll come pay for you later.'

Ying Huai laughed despite himself.

He didn't say anything, casually waved at Ying Qi, and walked in slowly.

He hadn't been to a supermarket in a long time. Being alone, he wasn't in the mood, and after wandering aimlessly for a while, his cart was still empty.

He turned a corner around a shelf, but his cart seemed to bump into someone.

Ying Huai instinctively pulled the cart back: 'Sorry, I didn't see clearly just now. I didn't hit you, did I........'

But when he pulled, it wouldn't move.

Ying Huai was stunned. He instinctively looked up and saw a hand with distinct knuckles quietly pressing down on the cart.

Ying Huai:?

He had a sudden bad premonition. He looked up and was met with Liang Shining's somewhat awkward expression.

Ying Huai:........?

'What a coincidence, shifu........Ying Huai.' Liang Shining said in a low voice.

Ying Huai:........

He looked up and curved his eyes at Liang Shining with a half-smile.

The next moment, he suddenly exerted force on his hands, changing from pulling to pushing, and pushed the shopping cart directly out.

Liang Shining let out a muffled groan, barely managing to block the shopping cart.

"Ying Huai, I........"

Before he could finish speaking, the next second, he saw the person in front of him let out a cold laugh, turn around, and stride away.

Song Si Lan's deceptive tactics were really getting more and more sophisticated.

—He'd even dragged his gege into it.

·

Afterwards, a somewhat strange scene appeared in the supermarket.

A slender young man in a trench coat, arms crossed, wove quickly between the shelves, followed by another tall man, looking slightly anxious, a step behind, pushing a cart in pursuit.

Ying Huai turned a corner, and finally, hearing the footsteps arriving as promised behind him, couldn't help but look back.

"Can you stop following me—"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on the shopping cart Liang Shining was pushing, and his brow furrowed again.

"What are these?"

The previously empty shopping cart had somehow been filled with a pile of snacks.

Ying Huai frowned and looked up impatiently: "If I remember correctly, this is my shopping cart, isn't it?"

Liang Shining instinctively nodded: "Yes........"

He hesitated, then said quietly: "These were also picked for shifu.....for you."

Ying Huai:?

He laughed: "How come I don't remember saying I wanted to eat these?"

"Shifu, ahem, when you pass by something you like to eat, you instinctively glance at it, and your steps slow down a little........"

Ying Huai's movements paused.

After a few seconds, he said impatiently: "Who says I have these habits? I clearly don't like any of these—"

"But I remember shifu, ahem, you used to really like eating these." Liang Shining said quietly. "I specifically confirmed before going out."

He glanced at Ying Huai, hesitated, and took out a pack of Oreos: ".........I still have this one at home, if shifu doesn't want to buy it now, you don't have to."

Ying Huai:.........

He turned around without a word and walked briskly outside.

Liang Shining, with sharp eyes, noticed his reddened ear tips.

·

When it came time to check out, Ying Huai was only symbolically holding a bottle of drink in his hand, while Liang Shining's cart was almost full.

"Are you two together?"

The cashier girl glanced at the only drink in Ying Huai's hand and instinctively grouped him with Liang Shining.

Ying Huai was about to shake his head, but the next second, he felt his hand go empty.

"Mm, we're together."

Liang Shining put the drink together with the pile in the cart: "I'll pay for all of it."

Ying Huai turned back, unable to bear it any longer: "You—"

The next second, he saw Liang Shining pause, then take a pack of Skittles from the shelf next to the register.

Ying Huai, who had only glanced instinctively when turning his head:.........?

For a moment, he was so angry at Liang Shining's actions that he laughed, and simply turned around without a word and walked briskly outside.

"Do you still want these things........" the cashier girl beside him asked quietly.

Liang Shining looked at his retreating back and sighed helplessly.

"Yes."

He took out a card and gently placed it on the register.

"Please check these out first, I'll come back for the things in a bit."

·

"Ying Huai—"

Just as Ying Huai was about to cross the street, Liang Shining finally caught up with him.

He instinctively reached out to grab him.

The next second, he saw Ying Huai turn around first, looking at him with a slightly cold expression.

Liang Shining was stunned.

He saw with some alarm that Ying Huai's eyes were actually a little red.

Liang Shining was instantly at a loss.

"Shifu, I........"

"What exactly do you want, Liang Shining?" Ying Huai said through gritted teeth.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to apologize to shifu, let shifu acknowledge me again." Liang Shining said somewhat incoherently.

"I didn't deliberately hide it before, shifu........"

"Not deliberately?"

Ying Huai, as if hearing something funny, suddenly curved his peach blossom eyes.

"Then why didn't you tell me from the start?"

Liang Shining silently opened his mouth: "I was worried........"

"You were worried I'd reject you, worried I'd avoid you, so you hid it, right?"

Ying Huai curled his lips and looked up with a half-smile.

Liang Shining's body stiffened again for a moment.

He seemed to want to explain, "No........"

Ying Huai frowned.

He instinctively looked up, but saw Liang Shining's lips move a few times, and in the end, not a single word came out.

Ying Huai closed his eyes, then couldn't help but laugh softly again.

"Regardless, the fact is you lied to me, Liang Shining."

Ying Huai pressed the corner of his eye, covering a slight redness there.

"I don't want to be deceived again, is that wrong?"

Liang Shining froze on the spot.

He watched Ying Huai step back and shake his head slightly.

"Don't look for me anymore, Liang Shining."

·

That day, after Ying Huai returned home, he locked himself straight in his room.

Ying Qi was nearly driven crazy with worry.

He asked outside the door for a long time, but only received a vague "I'm fine" in response.

Ying Qi opened his mouth to say more, but the next second, heard the doorbell ring.

He instinctively walked to the door, his expression slightly startled.

At the door were two large bags of pre-packaged snacks, with a note that read "Sorry" attached.

Ying Qi seemed to realize something and sighed helplessly.

He looked up at the tightly closed door upstairs, then dialed a number again.

·

Ying Huai slept like the dead in his room.

When he woke again, it was from a dull pain in his stomach.

Ying Huai didn't have much appetite either.

He propped himself up slightly, opened the cabinet beside him, and fumbled around wanting to casually swallow some Stomach Medicine to get by, but the next second, heard a teasing voice from beside him.

"Oh, Sleeping Beauty is awake."

Yu Wu sat at the head of the bed with his legs crossed, looking at him with a grin.

Ying Huai was startled.

He instinctively withdrew his hand, but saw Yu Wu step forward first, casually open the drawer and rummage through it.

"Let me see, woke up from stomach pain, right?"

Yu Wu helped Ying Huai open the Stomach Medicine, casually handing over a cup of warm water: "Beauty probably wasn't thinking of using medicine to skip eating, was he?"

Ying Huai paused.

He didn't argue either, took the medicine Yu Wu handed him, casually said "Thanks," and tried to lie back down on his own.

The next second, his shoulder was grabbed: "Hey, I say that and you really do it, Beauty."

Yu Wu clicked his tongue softly: "How come I didn't know when my words became so effective?"

Ying Huai had no energy and couldn't be bothered to move, looking up somewhat helplessly: "What exactly does Doctor Yu want?"

"What else, treat you."

Yu Wu said with a grin: "I know, tonight was originally supposed to be Si Lan coming, but his lab has some things, so he asked me to come check on you first."

Ying Huai couldn't be bothered to figure out whether he was making things up or telling the truth.

He pushed him away, curled up in the blanket, and closed his eyes again: "I don't need psychotherapy anymore, Doctor Yu can go back."

Yu Wu didn't argue either.

He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Even if I can make you remember everything from before, you still won't be treated?"

Ying Huai's eyes suddenly opened.

"What?"

Yu Wu picked him up again and said lazily: "I said, I can make you remember all the memories you forgot from the Hypnosis before."

Looking at Ying Huai's expression, he suddenly laughed: "How about it, this is pretty tempting, right?"

He knew that although Ying Huai was basically uninterested in everything around him now, recovering memories was something that concerned only himself, and few could resist that obsession.

He watched Ying Huai fall silent for two seconds, then finally said quietly: "When do we start?"

Yu Wu smiled with satisfaction: "No rush."

He suddenly stood up and reached out his hand to Ying Huai first.

"I'll take Beauty to get something to eat first."

Ying Huai frowned, instinctively opening his mouth to refuse.

The next second, he heard Yu Wu say unhurriedly: "After all, if I treat you halfway and you pass out from pain on the bed—"

"I still have to explain to Si Lan."

Ying Huai:........
