Watching Qin Sili's expression grow colder and darker, Wen Shubai felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately stopped joking and grew much more serious. "I don't know whether anyone else can treat him, but I, Wen Shubai, as your personal physician, President Qin, absolutely can."
Qin Sili's face remained impassive.
Did anyone understand how badly he wanted to hit someone?
"Since you don't want three days and three nights, President Qin, go wait outside. Having a giant block of ice like you standing here really affects my performance." Wen Shubai shooed him out.
Qin Sili couldn't be bothered to listen to any more of Wen Shubai's nonsense, either. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he really wouldn't be able to resist hitting him.
Only after Qin Sili went out did Wen Shubai leisurely take supplies from his medical kit to treat Lu Chiyan. After administering medication and setting up an IV, he watched the flush gradually fade from Lu Chiyan's face and clicked his tongue, saying with deep regret, "Ah! Such a perfect opportunity, yet that guy Qin Sili insists on being a gentleman. If it were me..." I certainly wouldn't let such a perfect opportunity slip away!
"All right, all done!" Wen Shubai clapped his hands, picked up his medical kit, and went out.
Off to collect his payment from Qin Sili!
Wen Shubai went downstairs and glanced at Qin Sili, who was sitting on the living room sofa. His gaze fell on the glass of red wine Qin Sili was swirling, and the corner of his mouth lifted.
Men!
He clearly wanted it, yet insisted on denying it!
After playing the gentleman, he even had to drown his sorrows in wine.
So melodramatic!
You really deserved to be single!
"He'll be fine once these two bottles finish." As he spoke, Wen Shubai walked up to Qin Sili and raised his wrist to check his watch. "It's been seventy-two minutes since I got Lucky's call. Since we're such good friends, I'll round it down to seventy minutes for you. At my rate of five hundred per second, that makes this house call 2.1 million."
Qin Sili lifted his eyelids, shot Wen Shubai a sidelong glance, and called, "Lucky."
"Hey, hold on. I'm not finished calculating." Wen Shubai gave Qin Sili a faint smile with a trace of ill intent. "Do you need me to stay here to take his needle out?"
Qin Sili: "???"
"The two bottles will take about two hours to finish. If you need me to remove the needle, that'll be another hundred and twenty minutes, meaning another 3.6 million, for a total of 5.7 million."
"G. E. T. O. U. T." Qin Sili forced the words out, his face dark.
Wen Shubai laughed. "Understood, completely understood. I'll get lost right away. I know you're certainly not reluctant to pay another 3.6 million, President Qin. Mostly, you just don't want me hanging around disturbing your alone time together!"
Then Wen Shubai said to Lucky, "Lucky, remember to transfer the money!"
Lucky: "Certainly, Dr. Wen. Lucky will transfer 2.1 million to you immediately."
"Great, Lucky always comes through. I'm off, then." Wen Shubai waved to Qin Sili and politely said goodbye, though Qin Sili didn't so much as spare him a glance.
At the door, Wen Shubai seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned back and added, "Oh, right. Even though he's had the medication, if you change your mind and still want three days and three nights, that's perfectly possible!"
Qin Sili: "???"
He shouldn't have let this man leave. He should have grabbed him and beaten him up first!
Lu Chiyan felt his body relax a little. The unbearable burning sensation was gone, and a seemingly endless stream of coolness flowed from his hand throughout his body, leaving him feeling comfortable all over.
His mind was no longer foggy, either. Lu Chiyan slowly opened his eyes, only to meet a deep, dark gaze.
[Oh my god, getting to see such a gorgeous face the moment I open my eyes-what kind of heavenly life is this!]
The corner of Qin Sili's mouth twitched twice. "..."
[Ah, wait, why am I in bed? Where am I? What happened? Huh? No wonder I feel a little better.]
Lu Chiyan saw the IV in his hand, then looked at Qin Sili and smiled a little awkwardly.
[Nothing happened, right? It doesn't feel like anything strange happened, either. Judging by his looks, he must be really good in that department. If anything had actually happened, there's no way I wouldn't feel a thing.]
Qin Sili: "???"
[Ah! What a shame. That face really is gorgeous. If only... never mind, never mind. Not suitable for children, not suitable for children.]
Qin Sili: "..."
"Ahem, um..." Lu Chiyan cleared his throat and looked at Qin Sili with complete seriousness. "Thanks. I feel much better."
Qin Sili said nothing, his expression cold, and reached toward the IV needle in Lu Chiyan's hand.
"What are you doing?" Lu Chiyan instinctively drew his hand back.
Qin Sili said nothing. He merely pointed at the nearly empty IV bottle, then took Lu Chiyan's hand and gently peeled away the tape securing the needle.
"You... you're taking the needle out for me?" Lu Chiyan asked a little apprehensively. "Do you know how?"
"No." Qin Sili curled his lips and said with a hint of deliberateness, "I'm just giving it a try."
Lu Chiyan: "???"
Giving it a try?
He was going to take the needle out without knowing how? Could he really be that careless?
He was just about to say, "How about calling someone who knows how?" But before he could get the words out, Qin Sili decisively and deftly pulled out the needle.
"Aaaaah!" Lu Chiyan was a little too nervous and instinctively cried out when he saw the needle being removed. Midway through his cry, he realized he didn't seem to feel much at all. It didn't hurt whatsoever. His cries stopped, and he looked at Qin Sili a little awkwardly, letting out two embarrassed chuckles.
After throwing the IV bottle and needle into the trash, Qin Sili looked up at Lu Chiyan. "Who drugged you?"
"Who else could it be?" Lu Chiyan said indignantly. "That bastard Duan Linfeng, of course!"
"Duan Linfeng, a bastard?" Qin Sili was slightly surprised.
After all, Lu Chiyan treasured Duan Linfeng so much that he couldn't bear to say a single harsh word to him. In the past, if anyone had called Duan Linfeng a "bastard," Lu Chiyan probably would have fought them to the death.
"Scheming against me behind my back! Sooner or later, I'm going to tear that bastard Duan Linfeng apart with my bare hands!" Lu Chiyan seethed with rage. If Duan Linfeng were in front of him right then, he really might not have been able to resist rushing over and tearing him apart.
Qin Sili frowned, a cold glint flashing through his eyes. "Does he treat you very badly?"
"Badly doesn't even begin to cover it!" Lu Chiyan pursed his lips. "He's rotten to the core! Every bit of him is rotten!"
"But didn't you say that only Duan Linfeng understood you, loved you, and cherished you, and that you wanted to spend your whole life with him?" Qin Sili looked at Lu Chiyan. Those words were still fresh in his memory, and even now, recalling them brought a faint ache to his chest.
[Seriously? I said something that disgusting? If I spend this life with that dog Duan Linfeng, I really will be done for. Lu Chiyan, oh, Lu Chiyan, you really were blind. With someone as exceptional as Qin Sili right in front of you, how on earth did you fall for that dog Duan Linfeng?]
