Holding Onto My Man

CHAPTER 11: REBIRTH OF A CANNON FODDER

Hearing the call, Nan Lichen’s face immediately paled.

It’s Wu Zhenzhen, it’s Wu Zhenzhen, only this thought emerged in his mind!

“Doctor, you must save my dad. Rest assured and don’t cut off the treatment, I’ll immediately raise money for it. Take the medicine as usual...”

Nan Lichen gloomily hung up the doctor’s phone call and called Wu Zhenzhen’s mobile phone.

“What do you want to do? Why stop my dad’s treatment?!”

He angrily gritted his teeth, his father’s situation is very dangerous, even stopping medication for a day can be life threatening at any moment.

Wu Zhenzhen smiled from the other end of phone.

“You have wasted my time for a few months. Last time I already said it, but until now I still haven’t seen any results. Giving you a little warning...”

Nan Lichen paused and suppressed his anger, in a low voice he said, “I know what to do, immediately prepare surgery for my father!”

“You said the same thing last time, but there was no progress at all.” At the other end of the call, Wu Zhenzhen’s voice also turned cold.

“I promise you!”

Nan Lichen’s eyes darkened and gnashed his teeth.

“If you let me screw Lu Rongqing then it will of course be easy, but you want me to get Lu Rongqing’s heart then you ought to give me time. Although Lu Rongqing is pure, he isn’t a fool! And those requirements of yours, what has he done that it’s necessary for you to deal with him like this?”

Before he took the task, he thought that it was Lu Rongqing who did something to offend Wu Zhenzhen, so she opposed him.

However, he found out that the boy is simply a purely ignorant boy who doesn’t obstruct the truth. It was absolutely impossible to have done something that would offend people too much, yet Wu Zhenzhen wants to deal with the boy this way.

“What do you know? Lu Rongqing is a slut. He harmed me so miserably in the past, I will never let him off!”

Wu Zhenzhen seem to be provoked and screamed, her voice hateful.

“Nan Lichen, you listen. You already wasted a lot of my time. I have delayed many plans. Make Lu Rongqing take the drug I gave you now and then hand him to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for ruthlessness. ...”

After that, the phone hung up.

Nan Lichen held on to the phone that sounded the ‘beep’ tone, he turned pale and stiff.

Nan Lichen stood still for a while and then slowly took out the drug vial in his pants’ pocket as if holding a hot potato, his hands trembling slightly, his lips lightly pursed and his eyes struggling.

He knew what was in the vial. Having worked at Night for so many years, it’s impossible that he doesn’t know. This is what the guests there often use.

A very potent rape drug specially made to deal with those impetuous men and women...

“Rongqing...”

Nan Lichen leaned against the wall. As if his body’s energy was completely drained and went soft. He murmured lowly and his face showed suffering.

He leaned against the corner of the wall for a long time with a painful look as if struggling.....

From beginning to end, Gu Bai quietly looked at him from the corner.

Finally, Nan Lichen moved. He slowly stood up and tremblingly put the drug vial into his pocket. Then he went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take out a bottle of milk.

With a pained look, he opened the milk bottle. He poured it into the cup and poured some of the liquid from the vial into it.

After doing all this, he stared at the vial for a long time before he forced himself to calm down, carrying the milk back to the studio...

Gu Bai returned to the studio one step at a time when he poured the milk.

When Nan Lichen returned, he still saw the boy sitting quietly. He seemed to be thinking of something with a timid smile on his face. When he found him coming in, the timid smile grew deeper.

Nan Lichen looked at the smile on Gu Bai’s face and felt his hands trembled even more.

However, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He still walked toward Gu Bai and handed over the milk in his hand.

“Come drink a glass of milk...”

He can’t turn back and he can’t hesitate.

Lu Rongqing has the chance to start over, but he and his father didn’t and his father can’t wait.

It’s alright, it’s alright, Rongqing can easily start over. Even if he is no longer pure, even if he is touched by others, he will not abandon him, he will want him and he will love him well. It’s alright, it’s alright......

Nan Lichen constantly comforted himself in his heart. Gu Bai stared at his expression that was hard to disguise and took the milk. His shy expression disappeared and a faint smile was put on.

“Chen, do you really like Rongqing?”

Gu Bai’s eyes were too clear and serious. Nan Lichen only felt that this purity was like a needle piercing into his heart, making him not dare to look into his eyes.

He moved his gaze slightly, as if he was looking at Gu Bai, but he actually stared at the wall behind Gu Bai and smiled with difficulty.

“Why ask such a silly question...”

Gu Bai still look at him seriously. He saw Nan Lichen’s guilty conscience. It seemed to be a long time, but it was only a few seconds.

The boy suddenly laughed and then reached out to hug him, leaning his head against his chest, whispering.

“Chen, Rongqing really like you, really like you very much. Rongqing can do anything for you, even if it’s to abandon life and soul. Can you love Rongqing the same way?”

Do anything, even if it is to give up life and soul...

Nan Lichen’s body stiffened. Does he have such a position in the boy’s heart? Does he love him to the point of doing anything? Is the boy’s heart all his?

A burning hot current flowed, enough to burn his heart.

He couldn’t speak, hugging his boy’s soft and warm body.

While he’s baffled*, Gu Bai put the milk on the table, lifted his head and looked at him intently. His smiling eyes looked very good.

*发怔 stare blankly; be in a daze; be in a trance

“I know Chen must also like Rongqing right?”

But the truth is very regrettable...

“I...well, drink the milk first...”

Nan Lichen dared not answer, he nodded ambiguously and then turned to see the milk Gu Bai put down. With a struggling look and a lump in his throat, he once again handed the milk to Gu Bai, his palms sweating.

Seeing the milk being handed over once again, Gu Bai slightly closed his eyes for a while, then he looked at Nan Lichen. Those clear eyes disappeared, replaced by his ‘pure’ eyes.

So pure and so focused on Nan Lichen.

“Chen, Rongqing likes you. Rongqing can do anything for you. If there’s anything, please don’t hide from Rongqing. Rongqing will desperately* help you...”

*regardless of any consequences; fling caution to the winds; go to the most extreme lengths

While talking, Gu Bai gradually moved the milk to his mouth, the movement was very slow, as if he’s waiting for something.

Nan Lichen looked at the cup getting closer to the boy’s mouth, as if in slow motion, his brain went blank.

The hands on the side of his body trembled and trembled.

He wants to grab the boy’s hand to stop him. His body is stiff and he struggled with hesitation, but in the end he couldn’t do the action he wanted to do, to prevent the boy from falling into the abyss.

No, he can’t gamble. In this world, how can there be someone who’s willing to give it all for love? He can’t gamble, can’t gamble, Lu Rongqing can start over again, that’s right, he can start over....

“Drink, sugar is added to the milk, it’s sweet...”

Nan Lichen opened his eyes and said dryly.

Gu Bai looked at his expression and felt his chest’s breathing struggle completely disappeared, the shy expression faded and became expressionless.

Nan Lichen, Lu Rongqing already gave you the chance, again and again, repeatedly.....

He drank the milk but didn’t swallow. Gu Bai’s face suddenly revealed a pure smile, just as pure as his eyes.

He suddenly pushed Nan Lichen to the table. Gu Bai looked down at him and then reached to unbutton his collar, revealing the attractive collarbone...

“Rongqing...”

Nan Lichen looked at the suddenly seductive boy in front of him and his heart rate suddenly accelerated.

Gu Bai smiled and didn’t speak. After unbuttoning one button, he reached out to Nan Lichen. Slender, fair and soft fingers took Nan Lichen’s clothes off. The slight touch of those fingertips caused a man’s reaction.

Then he lowered his head and slowly approached, slowly approached.....

Nan Lichen saw the boy coming closer and slowly closed his eyes. He looked forward to the boy’s kiss for a very long time. Regardless of what happens to the boy in the future, the first person to have the boy is him.

He couldn’t help but feel agitated, the hands hugging Gu Bai started to act improper...

“Ah, Chen, save me...”

Suddenly, a terrified “save me” sounded, Nan Lichen didn’t get to open his eyes and see what was happening. He felt a sudden pain on his neck and gasped, then he fainted.

Gu Bai then patted his hands and got up from his body. He stared at him for a moment, then started to feel around his body, finally pulling out a drug vial from his pocket.

Looking at the thing in his hand, Gu Bai was silent for a moment before letting out a sigh.

“I didn’t want to do this, but you chose this path on your own....”
