Autumn had only just begun, but the temperature had not dropped at all. City A was by the sea, and even the air seemed tinged with the salty, fishy smell of seawater, humid and stifling.
Over the past three months, Lu Shiming had come by every two or three days to wipe his brother down. His brother was rather fastidious about cleanliness, and Lu Shiming did not want the caregiver touching his body either.
Ever since he was little, Lu Shiming had always idolized Lu Shiyi. He was both a brother and a father to him, tall, handsome, and exceptionally capable. At such a young age, he had already become the group's vice president, a top-tier talent whose annual income, including dividends, started in the eight figures.
How could a brother like that fall for someone like Yu Qingchuan?
Even if Yu Qingchuan was the son of the Yu Corporation's president, in Lu Shiming's eyes, he was not fit to touch so much as the hem of his brother's clothes.
Why did his brother only respond to Yu Qingchuan's touch?
Yu Qingchuan was startled too, but another possibility immediately occurred to him. He hurriedly patted Lu Shiming, whose entire worldview was still being reshaped. "Go get a doctor! Your brother reacted-does that mean he's waking up?"
"Right, right..." Lu Shiming snapped out of it and rushed outside to call for someone, completely forgetting he could press the call button by the bed.
Ten minutes later, after performing a thorough examination and hearing what had caused Lu Shiyi's reaction, the doctor still shook his head at them. "The patient is showing no signs of waking. This sort of reaction isn't controlled by the brain. It's also possible that contact with someone familiar, or someone he likes, caused the response..."
As he spoke, the doctor looked at Lu Shiyi, as handsome as a painting as he lay in the hospital bed, then at the young master still holding a towel. Even if he lied through his teeth, he could not call them a good match.
But with the young master's looks, he really could not root for them as a couple.
After hearing the doctor's words, all of Lu Shiming's lingering doubts vanished. As long as his brother could wake up, he did not mind accepting Yu Qingchuan!
His eyes actually brightened, and he immediately changed how he addressed him. "Then sorry for the trouble, brother-in-law. Are you hungry? Shall I go buy you something to eat? What do you like? I'll get it right now!"
Without waiting for an answer, he ran outside with a spring in his step, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him. His retreating figure radiated youthful excitement.
After all, the male lead-the top-was still growing up. Spoiled by his brother since childhood, he had yet to suffer the devastating blow of losing him. Right now, he looked just like a melodramatic teenager.
In the room, Yu Qingchuan covered his face in anguish. I only wanted to escape the plot, so why had it gone this wildly off the rails?!
