next

The words "in operation" made Lucas extremely impatient. His heart was hanging in mid-air, and he kept pacing back and forth in front of the operating room, pulling his hair. Doing so quickly, at one moment he hated himself for assisting his elder brother to help Feng's transfer of assets, and at another moment he wished he could rush in and urge the doctor to cure him quickly.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. He's fine, he's fine." Feeling dazed and out of breath, Lucas took out the emergency kit from his pocket with trembling hands, poured the pills into his palm, shook his hand, and dropped two pills on the ground. Lucas bent down to pick it up with difficulty, raised his head and swallowed all the pills, swallowed them dryly, slid against the wall and sat on the ground, panting for a while before slowly calming down.

Taking out his mobile phone, Lucas called Noah: "I'm Lucas. Leo is injured. I'm anxious and nervous. I'm taking medicine."

Listening to Noah's counseling in the microphone, Lucas felt better after ten minutes.

"Thank you, don't tell Nathan or my family, please." Lucas hung up the phone, sent Lin the address of the hospital, and continued to stare at the door of the operating room.

God, you must keep Leo safe, I would give anything.Lucas prayed silently in his heart.

When the "operating" light went out, Lucas stood up abruptly, clenched his fists, and nervously waited for the moment when the door opened.When the door finally opened, Lucas rushed over: "How is he?"

The nurse glanced at him and said, "The operation was successful, please step aside." Lucas quickly moved sideways and followed into the ward.The medical staff explained the precautions, and Lucas nodded hurriedly, keeping his eyes on the figure on the bed.After the medical staff left, Lucas held Leo's hand and sat down beside him.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you?" Lucas smiled wryly, "How much more do I have to do before you can truly believe me?"

In the afternoon, Kobayashi and two other strangers came to visit, and Leo was still in a coma.They had a brief conversation with Lucas, and when they learned that Lucas was Leo's boyfriend, they all had complicated eyes, but they didn't say anything.

"Why are you there?" Lin asked.

Lucas thought that this was probably what the two of them meant, so he replied: "We went shopping yesterday, and I left a cell phone in his car. When I woke up this morning, he was nowhere to be seen. No one answered the phone. I thought something happened to him. Followed the location of the mobile phone to catch up there, and found..." He didn't continue.

"Feng Bowen, that's Boven, do you know him? The man you shot." Lin asked again.

"I know it, but I didn't recognize it as Boven. I saw Leo's car parked on the side of the road. I was about to get out of the car when I heard gunshots. I was afraid that something would happen to Leo, so I rushed over with a gun. I saw a car coming out, but I didn't look at it." Clear the driver's face, if you encounter gangsters hijacking Leo, shoot him, will Leo be okay?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about the rest, we will take care of it." Lin looked back at his companion, exchanged glances, then turned to Lucas and said, "We will take care of Leo, you can go back."

"No, I'm worried. Give him to me, and I will take good care of him." Lucas said quickly.

Lin talked to the two of them for a few words before saying, "Okay then, when Leo wakes up, you inform me. We will deal with the medical expenses, thank you."

Lucas waved his hand: "He's my boyfriend, he should be."

Not long after Lin and the others left, Leo woke up.Seeing Lucas next to him, he was a little surprised: "Did Lin and the others not come?"

"I've been here, I just left." Lucas pulled the chair closer, "Does it hurt?"

Leo shook his head: "Probably the anesthesia hasn't passed yet. I'm sorry, I just took off the plaster cast and went to the hospital again, causing you trouble."

"I told you so much last night, can you trust me more? If I go a little later, maybe..." Lucas bit Leo's finger.

"Got it. What happened next?" Leo reluctantly asked.

"I shot Boven. I don't know what happened. He probably didn't die. Lin and a few people are going to deal with the funeral. You can ask him when he comes. Is your mission over?" Lucas asked.

"It's over, I'm still waiting for the notification from above. Still worried about your brother?" Leo's voice was very soft, "I will help him speak well, after all, you have provided important information."

"Thank you. I was afraid that you would leave without saying goodbye, like this morning, which made me nervous for a long time." Lucas stroked Leo's hair, "Promise me, you will tell me when you leave."

"Okay." Leo narrowed his eyes, "I'm a little tired."

"Sleep. I'm here."

On the fourth day of hospitalization, he was able to go out to the field for activities. Lucas handled the discharge procedures for Leo, and he will be raised at home.However, one day later, Lin brought a person to visit. Lucas didn't know what they said in the room, but seeing Leo's face was heavy when he came out, he had a premonition that it was not a good thing.

After closing the door, Lucas turned and asked, "What happened?"

"Lucas..." Leo swallowed, "I'm going back to China tomorrow."

Breathing stagnantly, Lucas was stunned, and suddenly felt that the room was very cold, so he walked over and turned up the heater: "What time?"

"I'm waiting for news from Lin. It's probably an evening flight." Leo walked over slowly and hugged him from behind, "I'm sorry, it was so sudden, I didn't expect it either."

"So urgent? Your injury hasn't healed yet." Lucas touched the bandage around Leo's waist through his clothes with his backhand.

"It's okay." Leo kissed Lucas' earlobe.

"Are you coming back?" Lucas held Leo's hands, "Don't say you won't come back."

"I listened to Shangfeng's arrangement. Lucas, I'm sorry." Leo's muffled voice came from behind.

Lucas turned around: "Is it because you have to come back before the task is completed? Hasn't the painting been found yet?"

"Not necessarily. There is a mistake in this mission, and I will probably be held accountable. Maybe someone will be replaced, maybe Lin and the others will continue to carry out the mission." Leo rubbed the tip of Lucas's nose, "They are upstairs I hope I won't cause you any trouble."

"For your sake." Lucas put his hand around Leo's shoulders, "You love me, don't you?"

There was a painful look in Leo's eyes: "Yes, I love you, although it shouldn't be..."

"Hush——" Lucas said, pressing his index finger on Leo's lips, "Love is love, there is no right or wrong. Whether you come back or not, I will always find you, Leo, I love you You." Holding him in his arms, Lucas murmured, "The day after tomorrow is my birthday, baby."

"Sorry." Leo whispered.

"Don't say sorry to me again, Leo, don't say sorry again. Just love me, love me."

The parting was imminent, and the two were almost inseparable. Although they both tried their best to talk about some interesting topics, as soon as the words fell, the sad atmosphere would once again envelope the two people's space.Lucas would reach out his hand, hold Leo in his arms, and keep kissing.

"Leo, don't be tempted by other women, not even men, I will be sad."

"Remember. What about you?"

"Baby, love is no less than an earthquake to me. You have already conquered me, who else should I fall in love with?"

"If we don't see each other for many years, you can find someone else."

"Do you have this idea? Oh, I heard that parents in your country are very worried about their children's marriage."

"I didn't, and I told my family not to interfere with my marriage."

"Then you don't have to worry about me, I will find you, baby, you only belong to me."

"Just engrave your name on me."

"Great idea. I'll contact the tattoo artist right away."

"Hey!……"

A few hours later, when he walked out of the tattoo room, Leo glared at Lucas because of the abnormality in his chest: "Satisfied now?"

Tilting his head and kissing, Lucas pulled Leo towards the parking lot: "In this way, no matter who wants to pursue you, they will ask who it is when they see the writing on your chest, and then you will say that this is my boyfriend , the other party will give up. Baby, I am very possessive."

"What if my family sees it?"

"That's the same thing, then you will come out and tell your family about my situation, and then..."

"And then I was beaten by my family?"

Lucas was startled: "Will you hit you? You must tell me, and I will fly to you immediately and bear it with you."

Leo patted Lucas' arm: "I'm joking. However, I am the only child in the family and must have children."

"Then we adopt or test-tube babies, surrogacy or something, there will always be a solution. Leo, promise me, don't bear it alone, and don't marry someone you don't love. You are mine and you can only marry me .”

"How did you get so far away?"

"Haven't you thought about it? I have thought about it. No one is more suitable for me than you. You love me too. Why can't we be together?"

"It's not that simple..." Leo didn't want to continue the topic, "I want to celebrate your birthday in advance, what kind of cake do you like?"

"Tiramisu."

"There is wine and coffee in the tiramisu. Change it."

"No. Don't you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. It's just that you can't eat tiramisu, get something else."

"That's up to you, I like to eat whatever you cook."

10:30 p.m. flight.Lucas was out while Leo was at home making cakes and a last supper before parting.Lucas didn't come back until the meals were ready.

The suitcase was placed against the wall at the door, and Leo sat at the table full of meals, staring at the cake in a daze.When I called more than ten minutes ago, Lucas said that he was on the road, there was a car accident ahead, the road was blocked, and he was very anxious.Leo comforted him for a while, then hung up the phone, but he began to feel anxious.Lin will come to pick him up in half an hour, can't we have the last meal together?

Leo stood up and looked at the window for a long time. Under the orange street lights, there was no familiar vehicle.Lucas, where are you?

The phone rang without delay, and Leo quickly connected, but it was Lin who called and said he would be downstairs in 15 minutes.Leo responded casually, and hung up the phone, lest Lucas would not be able to get in if the line was busy.

Another 10 minutes to go.Leo turned his wrist and looked at his watch.Or the one Lucas gave him.I miss that person even more.

15 minutes.

How does time go by so fast?

10 minutes.

Is that Lucas' car?Oh no.

Leo rubbed his face in disappointment, then looked out, and suddenly saw a familiar car turning around.Leo rushed down the stairs and opened the door.

"where did you go?"

"Go get this. Why aren't you wearing a coat?" Lucas hugged Leo into the house.

The two walked into the living room hand in hand, and Lucas handed a cylindrical paper tube in his hand to Leo: "The painting of the two of us is for you, and you can read it when you go home. Baby, don't forget me."

"Oh my god, that's what you are for." Leo hugged Lucas, "I'm so worried that I won't be able to see you for the last time before I leave."

"Sorry for worrying you. There is still time, let's eat." Lucas took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, pulling Leo to sit down at the dining table, "It's so rich."

"I've made everything you like. If you can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator and eat it hot next time." Leo gave Lucas a chopstick of sauce-flavored shredded pork, "I don't know if it's cold."

"It's okay, eat it when it's cold." Lucas put the dish in his mouth, "The temperature is just right. You can eat it quickly, it's a ten-hour flight."

"Did you bring the gift I prepared for you? I hope your parents like it."

"Put it in the box. Remember to go to Mr. Wang's Chinese medicine doctor for regular checkups. I think the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are small. If it's not too late, I plan to ask Noah to communicate with Mr. Wang about your treatment."

"I will mention this to Noah. Be careful, don't open the wound, and take medicine on time."

The two chatted and wolfed down half a bowl of rice. Seeing that there was not much time left, Leo put down his chopsticks and opened the lid: "I didn't put coffee and wine in the tiramisu you wanted. I replaced it with other things. The taste may not be as good." The original taste is good."

Lucas put down his chopsticks and stared blankly at Leo: "Thank you, I'm very happy."

The phone suddenly remembered, Leo answered it, answered, and hung up. "Lin is downstairs, I'll take the luggage down first."

"I'll help you." Lucas hurriedly stood up and picked up the two suitcases by the wall first, "Go and open the door."

Leo had to walk over and open the door.Kobayashi came in, took the suitcase from Lucas, and gave them time to say goodbye.

"Leo." Lucas dragged Leo's hand back to the restaurant, "I haven't eaten the cake yet."

He went to the kitchen to get the knife, cut off a small piece, Lucas took a spoon and dug a spoonful, and handed it to Leo's mouth: "Eat it, remember to come back and take me away, or wait for me to bring you back."

Leo opened his mouth to hold it, stuck it, and put it into Lucas's mouth mouth to mouth. The cream and snacks with the two people's saliva were stirred back and forth by the two tongues, and it was unknown who would end up in the stomach.

"Lucas," Leo kissed him on the lips finally, "don't forget me."

"Baby, I regret that I didn't prepare the painting earlier." Lucas rubbed his hands up and down Leo's body, "I really want you."

"Save it for next time." Leo raised his leg to push Lucas, "I should go. Don't send it away, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

"Okay. You go. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Watching him walk to the door step by step, step by step out of his own world, Lucas twisted his hands together, lest he couldn't help reaching out and grabbing him to prevent him from leaving.

How I wish he could look back, that would give him a reason to keep him.However, he just walked out the door. With a click, the door locked, announcing Lucas' release from the torture.Lucas collapsed on the couch, curled up motionless.

The sound of cars goes away.The night was eerily quiet.

There was only one voice hitting Lucas's nerves like a bell in his head: "Are you coming back?"
