withered lover

Since Shen Guiwan cried, Shen Lu became a taboo between him and Du Zhinian, and Du Zhinian never mentioned Shen Lu's name in front of him again, and Shen Guiwan returned to his original taciturn appearance.

His sudden loss of control that day was like a hallucination that appeared after Du Zhinian stayed up all night, leaving a short and clear memory, but it never happened again.

It's just that Shen Guiwan was afraid of the cold, and his body became weaker and less resistant to the cold after being injured, and fell ill again after his emotional ups and downs.

That night Du Zhinian heard him sniffling, and woke up the next day with a cold.

Du Zhinian took Shen Guiwan's temperature, fed him cold medicine, and went to the hospital after confirming that his temperature did not rise again.

That day, Du Zhinian was worried, afraid that something would happen to Shen Guiwan who was alone at home.

He called Shen Guiwan almost every few hours. After taking the medicine, Shen Guiwan started to feel sleepy. Most of the time when the call was made, he was asleep. There was a vague answer, and then there was no follow-up.

When Du Zhinian heard the sound of breathing coming from the phone for the third time, he finally realized that he had overreacted.

When he was in a relationship with his ex, he wouldn't be like this at all, and he would even dislike him for being too clingy, but he didn't expect that now that he stopped dating and adopted a lover, the person who became sticky was himself.

Du Zhinian laughed at himself, but after get off work, he drove to a supermarket to buy a retro-style heating fireplace, and put it in the bedroom to keep Shen Guiwan warm.

He was afraid that Shen Guiwan would be bored staying at home alone, so he bought a home projector, and when he was about to check out, he saw the dishwasher on the next shelf, and put it in the shopping cart.

Du Zhinian doesn't cook, so naturally he doesn't have such impractical things as a dishwasher, but Shen Guiwan stays at home, he can cook, and he will always need it in the future.

Du Zhinian put the dishwasher on the countertop in the kitchen, installed the projector and the automatic lifting projection screen in the bedroom, and put all the manuals on the bedside table, but Shen Guiwan didn't touch any of them.

He fell in love with Du Zhinian's newly bought fireplace.

The newly bought fireplace was very warm, and the metal casing was scorched to the touch. Du Zhinian was afraid that Shen Gui would sleep too late and get too close, so he deliberately placed the fireplace in the corner of the bedroom.

But every day when he came home from get off work, he could see Shen Guiwan wrapped in a blanket and sitting in front of the fireplace, either dozing off or staring at the fake fire in the fireplace in a daze, like a cat squatting in front of the heater in winter to keep warm .

Shen Guiwan's condition was not very good, she sat there silently every day, the newly bought mobile phone was almost useless except for answering calls.

He was listless, like a flower about to wither in winter, dying in the warm wind.

Du Zhinian wondered if he hadn't bought that new fireplace, and Shen Guiwan would have shut himself in the bedroom without anything to pass the time.

Du Zhinian was worried about Shen Guiwan, but after thinking twice, he didn't install surveillance.

He has been controlled by Du Hengyu for nearly 30 years, and he hates the constant surveillance, and he doesn't want Shen Guiwan to experience this feeling.

Moreover, keeping his lover in his own room and installing a surveillance camera, this kind of perverted behavior is no different from Yu Minggu's way of banning Lu Xing, Du Zhinian can't do it.

He could only tell Shen Guiwan not to get too close to the fireplace, as the burns on his skin would not heal easily, Shen Guiwan nodded obediently after hearing this, and then told him: "Du Zhinian, I want to wash my hair."

Shen Guiwan's wound couldn't touch the water, so Du Zhinian could only help him wash his hair and take a bath.

Du Zhinian touched Shen Guiwan's hair, the hair roots were in a bad condition, so he had no choice but to lead Shen Guiwan to the bathroom.

In order to prevent the wound on his back from getting wet, Shen Guiwan lowered his head and lay on the edge of the bathtub, while Du Zhinian stood aside and bent over to help him wash his hair.

"Close your eyes when you flush the water later." Du Zhinian said while rubbing bubbles on Shen Guiwan's head.

He only helped Shen Guiwan clean up afterward. At that time, Shen Guiwan was tossing about by himself, but now Shen Guiwan's back was injured, and he couldn't even wash his hair or take a shower.

Shen Guiwan closed his eyes when making the bubbles, but Du Zhinian accidentally turned the water too high, and the foam from the water sprayed him all over.

It took him a lot of effort to rinse off the foam from Shen Guiwan's head. He sat by the bathtub and rested for a while, squeezed the shower gel into his palm, kneaded fine bubbles, and then along Shen Guiwan's waist and Legs spread.

During this period of time, Shen Guiwan didn't know if it was because of the pain from the wound, his poor appetite, his body was much thinner than before, the protruding hip bones were pressed against the thin skin, it looked as if the skin would be punctured with a little force.

While bathing Shen Guiwan, Du Zhinian thought about how to feed him fat. After washing, he helped him dry his hair, and when he tore off the bath towel and was about to put clothes on his body, he discovered a new problem.

Just like a cat sleeping next to a heater would scorch its fur, Shen Guiwan was too close to the fireplace, the hot air would dry out his skin, and his pale skin would be covered with fine dry lines.

Du Zhinian touched Shen Guiwan's dry calf, and then pressed him on the bed to apply body lotion.

Shen Guiwan snorted a few times as the cold body lotion touched his skin, "It's cold."

Du Zhinian sighed helplessly, warmed the body lotion with the palm of his hand, and then spread it on the dry skin bit by bit, massaging back and forth.

Apart from applying body lotion, Shen Gui was restless when sleeping at night.

Shen Guiwan slept on one side by himself, the body temperature could not cover the quilt, and after falling asleep, he felt uncomfortably cold, and leaned against the heat source next to him.

He squeezed into Du Zhinian's arms, and pressed his cold hands and feet against Du Zhinian's body, waking Du Zhinian awake from his sleep.

Du Zhinian, who was woken up halfway through his sleep, was in a bad mood, but when he saw Shen Guiwan sleeping in his arms, not only couldn't get angry, but he also had the illusion that he had picked up a stray cat and brought it home.

Shen Guiwan's current state is indeed similar. He has suffered from human beings, and he dare not let go of his guard easily. He always curls up in a safe space, and occasionally shows his claws.

He was very aggressive, and would beat those who hurt him to death, but when Du Zhinian reached out to him, he would obediently lean in.

Du Zhinian pinched Shen Guiwan's cheek, heard the stray cat in his arms grunt uncomfortably, and hugged him contentedly, closing his eyes.

Stray cats have no owner to take care of them. They will lick their wounds when they are injured. Their self-healing ability is much better than that of pet cats raised in greenhouses.

Shen Guiwan's listless state only lasted until he recovered from the cold, and on weekends he slowly began to walk around the living room. When Du Zhinian was working in the study, he often heard him boiling water and making tea in the kitchen.

Sometimes Shen Guiwan would go into the study to get a book or two, and read it in front of the fireplace.

His wound healed very well, and he didn't need Du Zhinian to take care of him, and he gradually recovered.

Like wild flowers on the roadside, even if no one takes care of them, they wither in winter, and new buds will still grow in the next spring.

But when Du Zhinian looked at Shen Guiwan, he always felt very uncomfortable.

Those rich second-generation lovers in the circle will send bags and cars, and they will find festivals and give gifts in different ways every now and then, not to mention those who are more generous and love to show off, and giving a house with small property rights is just a matter of waving.

But in the past few months when Shen Guiwan was his lover, he only "borrowed" some cash from Shen Guiwan to buy a mobile phone, and he only changed it because it burned out.

Shen Guiwan is so easy to raise, he can stay in the bedroom all day with a fireplace and a few books.

The new mobile phone and the fireplace are only five figures, but these things are nothing compared to the RV. Du Zhinian felt that Shen Guiwan could be more greedy and ask himself more.

But after Du Zhinian thought about it carefully, he felt that Shen Guiwan could not be greedy.

He has nothing, and the seaside is a very far place for him, and he has never gotten anything from himself before, and he can't think of more things to ask for, so why would he even think about asking for anything.

What Shen Guiwan wanted most was to leave Shen Lu, but Du Zhinian couldn't do it, and never dared to promise.

Du Zhinian bought new home appliances, and his life is still the same as in the past, but there is an extra Shen Guiwan in the busy days.

During Shen Guiwan's second week at Du Zhinian's house, his wound no longer hurt, and Du Zhinian would watch movies on the bed with his arms around him every day after taking a shower.

Du Zhinian himself was watching seriously, but sometimes he saw Shen Guiwan who was lying in his arms with his head half down, already asleep.

He is like a cat snuggling in his master's arms to keep warm in winter, nestling next to Du Zhinian and watching every movie with him, but he doesn't care about the content on the screen, just sleeps by himself.

The projector was installed for two weeks, only used three times before being idle.

The first two times Du Zhinian chose the movie he wanted to watch, and he barely held on to the ending. By the third time, he saw half of Shen Guiwan infected with drowsiness, and finally couldn't help but turn off the screen, and put his arms around Shen Gui sleep late.

Except for always falling asleep halfway through watching movies, Shen Guiwan is still as obedient as before most of the time.

The wound would itch as the scabs healed. At first he couldn't help but stretched out his hands and scratched a few times. His nails tore through the scabs and bled a little.

When Du Zhinian was applying the medicine, he found blood stains on the edge of the wound. Out of professional habits, he scolded Shen Guiwan in a harsh tone. After that, Shen Guiwan never touched the wound again.

When the wound was so itchy that he couldn't sleep at night, he hid in the quilt and hummed for a long time, his back and right hand kept rubbing against the sheets and quilt.

Several times because of being too uncomfortable, Shen Guiwan couldn't control his voice and accidentally woke up Du Zhinian.

This is a necessary process for the wound to heal. Du Zhinian couldn't help Shen Guiwan relieve the discomfort on his body, so he could only hold him in his arms and coax him in a low voice: "Be patient for two more days and the stitches will be removed, and it will be Christmas Day, go out for a walk?"

"Where are you going?" Shen Guiwan felt so uncomfortable that there was a bit of crying in his voice.

Du Zhinian put a series of light kisses on Shen Guiwan's wet eyes, "You can go wherever you want."

This sounds very chic, but Shen Guiwan can only go to a very small area, even if he can go to a distant city for a short time, he will be arrested again after a short stay.

Shen Guiwan lay on Du Zhinian's shoulder, and his short hot breath fell on Du Zhinian's neck.

Listening to the lingering sound of breathing, Du Zhinian tightened his arms silently, and gently rubbed the soft black hair under his hands.
