The Sick Villain Just Want to Live

When Zhu Tong woke up and opened his eyes, the sun had already shone into the ward.

His brain was clear and his body was light. The heart-piercing pain last night seemed to be a dream, and he did not leave any sequelae.

Zhu Tong sat up from the bed, puzzled. He also had stomach problems before, and almost every time he falls ill, he feels exhausted after the pain is relieved. As a result, he had a lingering fear when he thought of the pain.

‘Why is it so easy today? Is it because of the bonus buff of the protagonist? Xia Yang lived here, so the hospital here is extra good somehow?’ 

As he wondered, a mechanical sound prompt rang in his head.

‘Congratulations! You gained +6% of the white moonlight’s favorability. Your current favorability is 35%.’

Zhu Tong: “…”

‘So I feel so relaxed now, was it because of the system’s rewards? When did this favorability increase?’

The system went online with a “ding”: ‘Of course it was last night.’

“…”

Last night?

Yes, it was Shao Ming who sent him to the hospital last night!

‘–Wait, where is he?’ Zhu Tong looked around subconsciously.

However, the ward was empty, and there was no one alive except him.

Immediately, Zhu Tong felt a sense of loss.

‘Actually…’ 

The system was about to remind him when the door of the ward slammed softly and was pushed open from the outside.

Zhu Tong subconsciously turned his head to look over, his eyes widened slightly.

Shao Ming walked in with two lunch boxes. Their gazes met, and he smiled slightly. “What is your expression? You don’t want to see me?”

Zhu Tong’s mouth opened agape. He shook his head hastily. “No, I thought…”

‘–you were gone’ was left unsaid. 

Shao Ming carried the lunch box over and opened it on the bedside table, “Are you hungry? Have some porridge first.”

Zhu Tong didn’t look at the lunch box in his hand, but stared at the youth walking in from the door of the ward.

Shao Ming held up a bowl of porridge and handed it to him. Seeing him in a trance, he smiled and said, “If you want me to feed you, just ask.” 

Zhu Tong: “…”

It took him for a while before he reacted. He shook his head and said, “No need.” 

Taking the hot porridge from Shao Ming’s hand, Zhu Tong took a sip with a spoon and suddenly stopped.

Shao Ming: “What’s wrong?”

Zhu Tong hesitated, “…I didn’t brush my teeth.”

Shao Ming: “…”

Shao Ming took back the porridge in his hand and put it back on the bedside table. Looking at the time, it’s only less than seven o’clock, it’s still early even if Zhu Tong ate it later. 

He looked up and asked, “Does your stomach still hurt?”

Zhu Tong shook his head.

No one spoke, and the ward became quiet.

Zhu Tong looked at Shao Ming and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it. What he wanted to ask was:

Why was Shao Ming here? Where did he sleep last night? What about early self-study?

–And his stomach problem, what did the doctor say?

Before he could organize his words, Shao Ming had already spoken. He took out a plastic bag from the bedside table and said, “The doctor prescribed some medicine. He said if your pain is relieved, there’s no need for hospitalization for the time being. But still, you should pay more attention to your diet. “

When he said “pay more attention to your diet,” he stared straight at the youth leaning against the bed.

Zhu Tong was stared at by him and felt guilty. He nodded and took the plastic bag. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said, “Last night… Thank you.”

Although Shao Ming didn’t say anything, Zhu Tong knew how much he struggled last night.

Accompanying him for the examination does not count. Just taking him from school to the hospital was enough to toss him.

Thinking about it, he looked at Shao Ming again, thinking that this man is really powerful. He was 1.75 meters tall. Shao Ming carried him from school to the hospital, but he wasn’t out of breath at all. 

He looked up and down the young man, and suddenly, their eyes met. Stunned in place, Zhu Tong quickly averted his gaze. 

Shao Ming did not “shrink”. He looked at him and said, “The doctor said you had stomach bleeding last night.”

“…”

“Did you know you can’t eat irritating food?”

Zhu Tong nodded hesitantly.

Shao Ming continued, “Then why did you eat at the canteen?” 

‘–was it out of obligation? Guilt?’ 

Zhu Tong looked at Shao Ming’s rare serious look, his hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he was surprisingly at ease.

He thought that the “irritating  food” that Shao Ming’s implied was the hot and sour shredded potato. He quietly defended, “I didn’t know the shredded potato was spicy before I ate it.”

Shao Ming vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Did he say that the spicy food is shredded potatoes?

That shredded potato, Zhu Tong didn’t eat even one bite, did he? 

Just as he was about to ask, Zhu Tong said again, “I’ve never eaten spicy food, so I tried two more bites.”

Shao Ming was baffled. “You’ve never… ate spicy food?” 

Zhu Tong nodded. He had a lot of food taboos, and chili was one of the top ingredients he was forbidden to eat. 

Even if no one else told him so, he never voluntarily tasted it himself. And today, the result really surprised him!

Shao Ming looked at Zhu Tong’s sincere expression. He suddenly remembered his novel appearance of drinking milk tea. 

‘How many ‘common’ things that he never tried?’ 

Shao Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood this young master who lived a luxurious and exquisite life.

He didn’t ask any more questions about eating in the canteen.

With a sigh, Shao Ming continued, “Then you have a stomach ache during self-study class, why didn’t you tell me?”

Zhu Tong was stunned. He lowered his head, and said in a quiet whisper, “It’s all my fault, what can I say?”

The taller youth became even more confused. So what if it’s Zhu Tong’s own fault? He then asked, “Just because of this? You are so angry at yourself that you can’t even come out of the class without saying a word?”

Zhu Tong turned his face away and said nothing.

Shao Ming felt that the anger he finally suppressed last night came out again. He took a deep breath, picked up the lunch box, and said, “Let’s go.”

Zhu Tong raised his head. “Where are we going?”

Shao Ming looked at him and replied, “Aren’t you going to brush your teeth before eating, Young Master?” 

Zhu Tong: “…”

He seemed to detect a deep sense of powerlessness from Shao Ming.

Coming out of the hospital, Zhu Tong followed Shao Ming without a single step. When he saw Shao Ming pushing the bicycle out, he appropriately expressed his surprise.

Shao Ming explained it immediately, “It was sent by Luo Suo last night.”

“…”

Familiar return route, familiar means of transportation.

Zhu Tong sat on the back seat of the bicycle in a familiar posture, and was taken to a familiar gate by Shao Ming.

‘Isn’t this…?’

Looking at the courtyard gate of the homestay he would pass through every time he returned to the hotel, Zhu Tong was stunned in the back seat.

‘Why did he stop here?’

Shao Ming seemed to have sensed his confusion. “We’re here, come down.”

Zhu Tong: “Here?” 

Shao Ming looked back at him with a funny look, “Since you insisted on not being hospitalized last night and not letting your family know, that Uncle Liu didn’t know your whereabout. He bombarded your mobile phone for half an hour without interruption, so I answered the phone for you. I told Uncle Liu that you stayed at my house last night.”

“…”

“Well, Are you going back to the hotel?”

Zhu Tong still was at a loss for words. 

–If he went back now, would Uncle Liu hug him and cry?

Shao Ming asked him again, “Are you getting off the bike?”

Zhu Tong jumped out of the back seat in a daze.

He walked into the courtyard in front, and Shao Ming pushed the bike behind him, his lips slightly raised.

Abduct the wife, and then find a chance to make him stay at your home √

Uncle Liu roared: What have you done to my Young Master!!
