Chapter 481
Chapter 481: Chapter 481
"I’m sorry, I..." Jiang Li didn’t know what to say. He was also in pain.
There was a Ying Heng between them, as if everything had turned into a deadlock.
Ying Xi let out a long sigh, his breath almost trembling, then he whispered, "Let’s not talk about this, wait until your fever subsides."
Ying Xi still thought that Jiang Li should go to the hospital, but Jiang Li really didn’t want to go, and because he was afraid that Ying Xi would forcefully take him there after he fell asleep, Jiang Li forced himself to stay awake.
Ying Xi, seeing him resist so stubbornly, could only promise.
"I won’t take you to the hospital, just close your eyes and rest for a while. Don’t keep pushing yourself," Ying Xi simply placed his hand over his eyes.
Jiang Li couldn’t bear it any longer and hoarsely said, "You promise, right? Really, don’t take me."
"Yes, I promise. Go to sleep, I’ll think of something," Ying Xi said.
Only then did Jiang Li fall into a deep sleep.
The method Ying Xi thought of was to call the doctor directly and... explain everything as if it were about himself and ask the doctor what to do.
He knew that Jiang Li was too embarrassed to go to the hospital, and he didn’t care about losing face.
So once he knew what to do, he understood that inflammation needed to be reduced and fever needed to be brought down. He immediately called his disciple at Lieying Base to send anti-inflammatory ointments, anti-inflammatory medication, and fever-reducing medicine.
It happened to be when Bo Jingshen and Su Lu were at Lieying Base.
When Lin Zeya delivered the medications, Ying Xi frowned and found him slow.
Lin Zeya, always respectful of Ying Xi, felt embarrassed when his master complained about his tardiness, and sheepishly scratched his head, saying, "I’m sorry, Master. We had guests at the base, so I was hosting them."
"Guests?" Ying Xi asked.
Lin Zeya nodded, "Yes, ’B God’ is here, your idol."
Ying Xi curved his lips slightly.
"He brought his wife and kids. His wife! So beautiful! I’m going to look for a wife who meets these standards in the future." Lin Zeya, a typical straight male, had actually sneakily glanced at Su Lu several times today.
He just thought, how could the former eSports legend be so lucky? So handsome, such a beautiful wife, so successful, and such adorable kids.
Oh, how he envied him.
Envy was written all over Lin Zeya’s face.
Ying Xi paused, "Su Lu?"
"Yes!" Lin Zeya nodded.
Ying Xi, of course, knew about the entanglement between Bo Jingshen and Su Lu, "They are a good match."
It was then that Lin Zeya realized he should show concern for his master, "Master, are you hurt somewhere? Or unwell? Got a fever?"
Ying Xi, while reading the labels on the medications Lin Zeya had brought, responded distractedly, "Hmm, not feeling well."
"Nothing serious, right? Want me to accompany you to the hospital?" Lin Zeya asked with concern.
"No need, just go. I need to apply the medicine now," Ying Xi unpacked a tube of ointment from a box.
Lin Zeya was still worried, "Master, where are you hurt? Is it easy to apply the ointment? Do you need help?"
Ying Xi, in a rush to apply the medication to Jiang Li and tired of Lin Zeya’s incessant questions, grew impatient.
Actually, Ying Xi was rarely impatient, someone who could endure the tedium of eSports training usually had much more patience than the average person, but at that moment, he snapped, "The injury is on my butt! Butt! Butt! I’ve got hemorrhoids, okay? Do you want to help apply the ointment?!"
Lin Zeya’s expression turned somewhat alarmed: "..."
He quickly waved his hands and stepped back, "No, no. I didn’t know it was that... Sorry, Master, if you had told me earlier, I would have brought you a tube of Mayinglong."
"Get lost," Ying Xi dismissed him.
Lin Zeya didn’t linger any longer and quickly left.
Just as he left, Ying Xi, with the ointment in hand, returned to the room.
To his surprise, Jiang Li had already woken up, half-opening his eyes as he lay on the bed watching him, "Did Zeya come?" he asked hoarsely.
Ying Xi nodded, "I had him deliver medicine. Come on, let me apply it to you."
He was somewhat embarrassed. "I’ll do it myself..."
"Hurry up," Ying Xi urged.
Jiang Li had no energy left and could only let Ying Xi help him apply the medicine and take some fever medicine. His face was all red, but he wasn’t sure if it was from the fever or from embarrassment.
However, he also lost the desire to sleep.
So, when the phone rang, Jiang Li was still awake.
Seeing Bo Jingshen’s number on the screen, Jiang Li hesitated, unsure whether to answer or not.
Ying Xi thought he was hesitant to speak, so he offered, "Do you want me to step out for a bit?"
"No need!" Jiang Li quickly said. "I’m not trying to avoid you. I just don’t know what to say to Bo Jingshen."
Jiang Li was, of course, aware that Bo Jingshen must know what had happened.
After his drunkenness had passed, he was still too shy to know what to say.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered the call.
Jiang Li picked up and remained silent, waiting for Bo Jingshen to speak first.
Bo Jingshen also stayed silent for a few seconds before he broke the silence in a low voice, "How are you feeling? Are you alright? Feeling any better?"
"Yeah, not bad," Jiang Li responded. "Feeling better. How did you know?"
"I heard Lin Zeya saying he was going to bring medicine to Ying Xi at the base and guessed," Bo Jingshen explained.
Jiang Li was stunned. "You’re that perceptive?"
How could he be so perceptive? Isn’t he just a straight guy?
Bo Jingshen said, "Su Lu is perceptive."
Jiang Li coughed lightly.
"So you are doing okay?"
"Doing okay."
"Do you need me to come over and visit?"
"No, no need."
"Then..." Bo Jingshen started with a teasing laughter gradually spreading in his voice, "...do you need me to send you some red eggs?"
Jiang Li was still a bit slow on the uptake, "What, red eggs?"
Jiang Li didn’t quite understand these customs, being a gay man, he obviously didn’t know about these marriage traditions.
But Jiang Li also instinctively felt that the teasing laughter in Bo Jingshen’s words was no good sign and that he was definitely making fun of him. noveldrama
Bo Jingshen laughed, "Didn’t Su Lu say something about sending out red eggs when marrying off one’s own daughter?"
"You!" Jiang Li was almost suffocated with anger. "Bo Jingshen, that’s enough! Su Lu wouldn’t gloat like you do!"
Bo Jingshen laughed heartily on the other end.
Listening to Bo Jingshen’s laughter, Jiang Li’s earlier gloom somewhat lightened.
After laughing for a while, Bo Jingshen said, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I’m heading to Beijing tomorrow. Knowing you’re not feeling well, I was a bit worried and thought I’d check on you."
Hearing this, Jiang Li felt quite warm inside; after all, they had been friends for many years.
Jiang Li said, "Don’t worry."
"Really don’t need to worry?"
"Really don’t need to worry."
"Then I’ll just ask straight out?"
Jiang Li was puzzled, "Huh? Ask what?"
"You’ve been gay for quite a while, so how come you got a fever? Is the risk that high between men?"
What do you think?
