Ling Zeyu pitifully stretched out his hand, his forearm pinched and covered with several small blisters, which were particularly noticeable.
"Let's go to the hospital. This burn is quite serious. I'm afraid it will leave a scar." Bai Yanfei glanced at it and felt that he couldn't handle it.
"I'm not going. I got burned at your doorstep because of you, so you have to take responsibility."
"It has nothing to do with me, you brought this on yourself." Bai Yanfei tossed the burn ointment to Ling Zeyu, turned and walked into the kitchen. "Take care of it yourself, and leave when you're done. I don't want to see you."
"Still angry?"
After treating his wounds, Ling Zeyu saw Bai Yanfei cooking in the kitchen. Ling Zeyu estimated the amount of food Bai Yanfei had prepared for him.
"Yan Yan, I'm hungry too. I haven't eaten yet," Ling Zeyu said pitifully to Bai Yanfei.
Bai Yanfei didn't say anything, but he poured the other dishes in as well.
“I’ve also learned to cook. After you finish cooking this dish, you can hand over the kitchen to me.”
Chapter 113 I'm Not Yours
"Leave after you finish eating."
Bai Yanfei disliked having someone watch him cook, especially since that person was Ling Zeyu, which made it difficult for him to move freely.
"Let me do it. Be careful, I'm afraid you'll burn yourself." Ling Zeyu pushed Bai Yanfei aside and neatly picked up the spatula. His movements were quite professional, and Bai Yanfei watched for a few seconds before leaving.
With nothing to do while sitting in the living room, Bai Yanfei took off the pillowcase and threw it into the washing machine. This scene was witnessed by Ling Zeyu, who came out to serve the dishes.
"Is this cushion comfortable? If not, I'll get a different one."
Ling Zeyu felt that if someone hit another person, they would do it again. If the person was Bai Yanfei, he could hit him as many times as he wanted, as long as Bai Yanfei was happy. Being hit a few times was nothing.
He was afraid that Bai Yanfei wouldn't even want to touch him.
He already knew Bai Yanfei's tastes pretty well, so he made everything according to Bai Yanfei's tastes.
Bai Yanfei remained silent during the meal, and although Ling Zeyu spoke up several times, Bai Yanfei ignored him.
"Now that you're full, shouldn't you leave?"
"You really want me to leave?" Ling Zeyu put down his chopsticks. "I'm not leaving."
Bai Yanfei rolled his eyes: "Whatever, just don't come into my room."
Bai Yanfei hasn't recovered from what happened with Mu Bai yet. As long as Ling Zeyu doesn't bring it up, he can continue to pretend to be mute.
Bai Yanfei silently washed the dishes with his head down. Ling Zeyu's cooking skills were good, and he ate more than usual.
A while later, the doorbell rang. Bai Yanfei remembered that he hadn't bought anything recently. When he saw Ling Zeyu skillfully open the door and take the contents out of the bag, he fell silent.
“I just saw that all the stomach medicine in the cabinet had expired, so I bought some new ones. It’s always good to keep these things on hand. I hope my stomach problems haven’t flared up much lately.” Ling Zeyu said to himself, and when Bai Yanfei didn’t answer, he continued, “That’s right, the stomach medicine has expired, so it’s probably not acting up much.”
"I also bought some snacks, they should arrive soon. Don't you like sweets? I didn't know which ones you wanted, so I didn't buy many."
"I don't want to eat." Bai Yanfei put the stomach medicine in the cabinet. "Where's the bill? I'll transfer the money to you."
Ling Zeyu turned his head to Bai Yanfei and said, "Just give me a kiss."
Seeing Ling Zeyu's irritating look, Bai Yanfei raised his hand and slapped Ling Zeyu's face as he leaned in. The slap wasn't very hard, but it really stunned Ling Zeyu.
"Why did you hit me again?" Ling Zeyu covered his face, feeling wronged. "Blow on it, it hurts."
"I didn't use any force." Bai Yanfei turned his head, just as Ling Zeyu leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Ling Zeyu smiled brightly. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Bai Yanfei knew he was in the wrong, so he could only hold back. He looked up again. There was no slap mark on Ling Zeyu's face. He had only lightly touched Ling Zeyu's face, and this guy had shamelessly moved closer.
Ling Zeyu rubbed his face against Bai Yanfei's shoulder: "Have you hit me enough? Or should we use something to replace our hands? I'm afraid you'll hurt your hands."
"ill!"
Bai Yanfei stood up and dodged Ling Zeyu; no one wants to be beaten.
"So what do you want to do now? Play games? I'll play with you."
Bai Yanfei stared at Ling Zeyu for a few seconds: "You're too bad at the game, you can't carry me."
Ling Zeyu: "..."
These words infuriated Ling Zeyu. He was indeed bad at the game, but he had all the necessary equipment, even if he bought it with money. He could also pay others to play with him. However, Bai Yanfei's words deeply hurt him; Bai Yanfei actually criticized him for being bad at the game.
He's not good at video games, but he can learn.
Bai Yanfei could now say things he wouldn't have dared to say before, and he was especially happy to see Ling Zeyu's embarrassed expression.
Ling Zeyu could never truly understand how stifled he had been. He was human too; he had emotions.
"Don't you have an exhibition to attend?" Ling Zeyu hugged Bai Yanfei from behind. "How about I go with you?"
"No need, I can manage on my own." Bai Yanfei pulled away Ling Zeyu's hand from her waist. "Don't hug me, we're already divorced."
"We can remarry even after the divorce, and I will give you a wedding you will never forget."
"I don't want to." Bai Yanfei pushed Ling Zeyu away. "If you keep doing this, I'll kick you out."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, I'll shut up, alright?" Ling Zeyu glanced at the small sofa. "You're not planning to make me sleep here tonight, are you?"
"Then leave."
"I'm not leaving, but there's no room on this sofa." Ling Zeyu took advantage of the situation and squeezed into Bai Yanfei's room. "I'm fine with sleeping on the floor. I want to watch you sleep. Don't worry, I won't do anything inappropriate."
In the end, Ling Zeyu pleaded and begged until he successfully obtained a spot on the ground.
"If I wake up and find you in my bed, you'd better think carefully about the consequences." Bai Yanfei said this harshly before going to sleep.
"I know."
Perhaps he had been too trusting of Ling Zeyu, because Bai Yanfei fell asleep quickly. Ling Zeyu didn't seem to mind the discomfort on the floor; Bai Yanfei liked to sleep with a small light on. He sat up and looked at Bai Yanfei's sleeping face, wondering how tired Bai Yanfei must be. There were dark circles under his eyes. Was Lu Qianyi only good at exploiting his employees?
A sudden downpour began outside. Ling Zeyu wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and prepared to go to sleep when the person on the bed suddenly woke up.
Bai Yanfei got up and closed all the doors and windows. He looked down and saw that Ling Zeyu had poured him a small glass of wine sometime during the night.
"If you can't sleep, you can drink some alcohol to help you sleep."
Bai Yanfei did not refuse. The wine was mellow and fragrant. He didn't know where Ling Zeyu had brought it from. After finishing it, he wrapped himself in the blanket and continued to sleep. Ling Zeyu watched over him and only lay down after seeing that Bai Yanfei's chest was rising and falling steadily and his breathing was even.
The consequence of this ordeal was that when Bai Yanfei woke up the next day, Ling Zeyu was still asleep.
Bai Yanfei went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and the two seemed to have returned to the way they were before. He got up early to prepare breakfast for Ling Zeyu, who was still asleep.
only--
After finishing half of it, Ling Zeyu strode into the kitchen.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Ling Zeyu glanced at it, then took two more eggs from the refrigerator: "Eat something good in the morning. I'll take you to the exhibition. You're a guest, right? My Yan Yan has really made something of herself; she's even been invited as a guest."
"I'm not from your family," Bai Yanfei said sullenly.
"It'll happen sooner or later." Ling Zeyu narrowed his eyes when he saw Bai Yanfei's phone screen light up. "Bai Zhenrong and Zhang Rongrong are contacting you again?"
"This is my private matter." Bai Yanfei took his phone and went outside to answer the call.
Chapter 114 You Don't Like Me at All
Ling Zeyu certainly wouldn't let these two self-proclaimed elders bully Bai Yanfei anymore. He followed them out, but kept a distance from Bai Yanfei.
"How did you know? Did you have someone follow me?"
"..."
"I've already given you more than enough. Besides, Bai Yifei is back, isn't he? Why are you still asking me?"
"..."
"The Bai family isn't in my hands. You're the ones who sold it. What does it have to do with me?" Bai Yanfei said with a hint of impatience. "Alright, stop talking. I can't help you. You just want to give the Bai family back to Bai Yifei. Isn't he quite capable? Let him talk to Ling Zeyu."
Ling Zeyu narrowed his eyes. So that was Zhang Rongrong's plan. He returned to the kitchen. The eggs were already fried, and the noodles were cooked.
Bai Yanfei returned looking unhappy. Ling Zeyu pinched Bai Yanfei's cheek and said, "Why do you look so gloomy so early in the morning? It looks terrible."
"If you think I'm ugly, then don't look. I didn't ask you to look at me." Bai Yanfei slapped Ling Zeyu's hand away. "Don't keep touching me. I find you dirty."
"I haven't touched anyone else, so how am I dirty? Besides, I shower every day, I'm not dirty. How about I take off all my clothes and let you check?"
Bai Yanfei was still a little uncomfortable with Ling Zeyu's scoundrel-like behavior.
He muttered a few words and prepared to leave. Zhang Rongrong had asked him to go out today, and if he didn't go, she might bother him again.
"Where are you going?" Ling Zeyu had thought he could snuggle on the sofa with Bai Yanfei and watch a show together today, but he didn't expect Bai Yanfei to go out.
"I'll go by myself. Don't follow me, or I'll get angry." Bai Yanfei slung his backpack over his shoulder. He didn't bring any cash, and he figured Zhang Rongrong would ask him for money again, which he didn't want to give her.
Bai Yanfei paid for most of Bai Zhenrong's medical expenses, and he continues to do so even now.
Ling Zeyu also knew about this. He had wanted to bring it up with Bai Yanfei for a long time, but it was always delayed for various reasons. Now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to resolve it as soon as possible.
"I'll go with you." Ling Zeyu hurriedly put on his shoes and followed behind Bai Yanfei. He was worried that Zhang Rongrong would harm Bai Yanfei, and besides... Bai Yifei had also returned.
Bai Yifei had always been a thorn in Ling Zeyu's side. He didn't want Bai Yanfei to think he was a substitute, and he wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
"I told you not to come with me. I'm going alone. I'll get angry if you follow me any longer." Bai Yanfei was waiting for the driver to come, but Ling Zeyu refused to leave.
"What does she want?" Ling Zeyu asked.
Bai Yanfei didn't answer, but Ling Zeyu had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
“If you don’t tell me, then I’m even more determined to go. Bai Yifei is back too, right? It’s a good opportunity for everyone to meet. There are some things I want to figure out as soon as possible.” Ling Zeyu rubbed Bai Yanfei’s shoulder. “I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
After the driver dropped the two off at the location Zhang Rongrong had indicated, Bai Yanfei did not get out of the car.
"Let's go to the hospital first to see how my dad is doing."
Bai Zhenrong was sleeping in his hospital bed, with many tubes inserted into his body. Bai Yanfei had visited several times, and Bai Zhenrong's condition had worsened each time. The doctor said he needed chemotherapy, and he had lost a lot of hair. Zhang Rongrong shaved Bai Zhenrong's head completely.
“Zhang Rongrong didn’t abandon my dad, so she’s still a decent person.” Bai Yanfei sighed softly. “Although they treated me very badly, he’s still my dad after all, and I can’t just abandon him.”
“If she doesn’t take care of Bai Zhenrong, she will have nothing left. Her family won’t accept her either, and she won’t be able to go back.”
Bai Yanfei hadn't expected this. Zhang Rongrong had never told him these things, and she would never tell him when she went back to her parents' home, nor had she ever taken him there.
"It's okay. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you what I know, and I'll find out what I don't know for you."
"It's nothing. Haven't you always wanted to see Xiaofei? Let's go."
