Chapter 15 - Imminent death warning: Within the next half hour, gain understanding of your wife"s emotional past and offer her appropriate comfort. Otherwise, please go die right now (1)
Lu Lixing thought he truly had good upbringing. Otherwise, any other person in his situation would have surely said f*ck.
Seeing that Ji Qingqing had her hand on the doork.n.o.b, Lu Lixing kept his cool and called out, "Stop."
Ji Qingqing turned around impatiently looked at him. "Mr. Lu, what do you want now?"
After spending less than a day with him, Ji Qingqing felt that Lu Lixing had already exhausted her patience. Originally, she had felt sympathetic towards him because of his impending early death, but now, she saw how he was full of vitality. He didn"t look like a dying person at all.
Rather than stay here to take care of him and suffer through his att.i.tude, it would be better for her to go comfort Elder Lu.
But, when she thought about it, it made sense. The novel had described Lu Lixing"s temperament as unpredictable as the weather. This was just his natural personality. Fortunately, Lu Lixing didn"t have long to live. Otherwise, as his wife, she was going to die from anger sooner or later!
"Come over here."
Ji Qingqing stood in place. She refused to go over. "Mr. Lu, just say whatever you want. I can hear you from here."
Lu Lixing felt as if he was pleading with a grand deity for help. He did his best to put on the most gentle expression he had ever made in his lifetime. "Please help me get my medicine."
"Medicine?" Ji Qingqing"s expression changed. She immediately became anxious.
Even though they had been bickering, his health was more important. She quickly started rummaging around to look for medicine. "Which one? Is it this white bottle? Or this blue one?"
"The white one."
Ji Qingqing hastily brought the white bottle to him. "Is it this one?"
Lu Lixing felt pleased to see the anxious look on Ji Qingqing"s face. He slightly smiled. Hadn"t she refused to come over here?
"Not this one."
Ji Qingqing turned around to look for another bottle. Lu Lixing stretched his foot out six inches out. Since Ji Qingqing was deeply worried, she didn"t pay attention to her feet. A moment of inattention, and Lu Lixing successfully tripped her. She immediately started to fall down on him.
But, Lu Lixing was already prepared. One hand securely held her by the waist, and the other hand was clasped around her hand. He ended up firmly hugging Ji Qingqing.
The white medicine bottle fell and made a clattering sound when it hit the floor.
-- "Task completed. 2 points has been added to your life. You currently have two hours to live."
Lu Lixing had never been so close to a woman. When he lowered his head to look, a sweet scent from Ji Qingqing"s slender white neck entered his nose. It aroused the instinct that was inherent in all men.
Well-tempered steel softened to something that could be wrapped around a finger.
Lu Lixing"s Adam"s apple fiercely twiched. A feeling that he thought he shouldn"t have was slowly infiltrating his body.
His heartbeat gradually increased.
This feeling felt wonderful, but logic told him that women were a weakness. He couldn"t let himself be tempted.
Ji Qingqing"s face was paler than Lu Lixing because she was very worried. She got up from his lap. She anxiously looked him over. She was scared that falling on him had ushered him closer to death. "Are you okay?"
Lu Lixing shifted his gaze and let go of her hand. "You can leave."
"I"ll go call a doctor for you..."
"No need." Lu Lixing turned around, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down. He picked up the fallen medicine bottle and looked at it. "I was mistaken. It is this bottle."
He took out two pillows and swallowed them. "I"m fine. I just need to rest for a bit."
Ji Qingqing was still slightly concerned. She felt that Lu Lixing"s mood swing was because she had angered him somehow. After she left the room, she went to look for the doctors to ask them to go check on Lu Lixing.
---
Once Ji Qingqing had left the room, Lu Lixing picked up his phone and called someone.
Right after Lu Lixing finished his call, Ji Qingqing came back with a doctor and Elder Lu to check on his condition.
Actually, Elder Lu was feeling slightly doubtful. Since coming home from the hospital, his grandson didn"t seem like a dying person. He seemed to be fine.
However, after the doctor used various medical equipment for a round of examination, the results were the same as before; Lu Lixing"s body had reached its limit. It was time for them to make funeral arrangements.
Elder Lu left the room in disappointment again.
