Chapter 108: Pulling the Oxygen Mask

In the hospital.

While the doctor was bandaging Su Shi’s hand, Chi Ye’s brow was furrowed tightly, as if he was in more pain than Su Shi himself.

“Be gentle.”

The doctor glanced at Chi Ye, “I’m not using much force.”

Su Shi felt it was okay, he could endure it. It was just that a large patch of skin was torn off the back of his hand, and he couldn’t bear to look directly at the blurred flesh underneath.

Su Shi tried to persuade Chi Ye, “You should go out first, don’t affect the doctor here.”

Chi Ye looked deeply at Su Shi, unwilling to leave even for a moment, “I’ll stay with you.”

Su Shi was helpless, “Then don’t talk.”

Chi Ye had no choice but to quietly stand guard on the side, feeling the pain for Su Shi.

Su Shi had a large bump on the back of his head after being knocked unconscious, and it hadn’t gone down yet.

The doctor told him to apply an ice pack and prescribed some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Chi Ye held an ice pack and applied it to the back of Su Shi’s head, asking, “Does it hurt?”

Su Shi shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt.”

Every time Chi Ye asked if it hurt, Su Shi said it didn’t, but Chi Ye still felt distressed, wishing he could take all the pain on himself.

His eyes were fixed on Su Shi, afraid that if he didn’t watch him for a moment, he would disappear again.

He wouldn’t make the same mistake a second time.

Su Shi felt Chi Ye’s nervousness, grasped the other’s hand, and found it was very cold, “Don’t be too nervous, I’m fine.”

Actually, compared to the injury on his hand and the pain in the back of his head, the shock he received was more serious.

He always felt like he couldn’t recover, and his body couldn’t warm up.

Afraid that Chi Ye would worry, Su Shi tried to act as normal as possible.

“I know, I know.”

At this moment, Chi Ye’s phone rang.

Chi Ye took out his phone and glanced at it, his face instantly turning gloomy.

Su Shi asked, “Who is it? Aren’t you going to answer?”

“It’s not important.” Chi Ye put his phone back in his pocket, focusing on Su Shi.

Despite his words, Su Shi could feel the change in Chi Ye’s mood, so he guessed it might be Chi Xiangqin.

So he said, “Your grandfather asked me out and tried to persuade me to break up with you, but I didn’t agree.”

Chi Ye had heard about this from Chi Xiangqin, “Yeah, don’t agree.”

Su Shi looked deeply at Chi Ye, wanting to firmly tell him, “I will never agree.”

Finally, a hint of a smile appeared on Chi Ye’s face, and he touched Su Shi’s face with his finger, “Even if you agree, I won’t allow it.”

Very good, he’s getting more and more domineering. Su Shi thought.

When the ice application time was up, Chi Ye told Su Shi to wait there for a moment, he had something to deal with and would be back soon.

Two bodyguards were left to watch over Su Shi.

People were coming and going in the outpatient department, and the two men in black, standing straight and tall, attracted a lot of attention.

Remembering the phone call just now, and the change in Chi Ye’s expression, Su Shi was not at ease. He got up and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the bodyguards.

“Mr. Su, Chi Ye told you to stay here.”

The more Su Shi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he decided to go and see, “He told you to protect me, not to restrict my personal freedom!”

The two bodyguards exchanged a look, not daring to object any further.

It was obvious that this was Chi Ye’s lover, and they couldn’t offend him casually.

Su Shi followed Chi Ye from a distance.

Chi Ye took the elevator and went straight to one of the hospital rooms.

Chi Xiangqin had a stroke, and had just woken up, experiencing difficulty breathing and needing to wear an oxygen mask.

His eyes, which were usually sharp, now looked gray and defeated, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

Seeing Chi Ye come over, Chi Xiangqin’s chest heaved noticeably, his breathing became more rapid, and the oxygen mask made a sound.

Chi Ye walked to the bedside, quietly scanning Chi Xiangqin, and stated to him:

“Su Shi is fine, Du Li is dead, are you very disappointed?”

Chi Xiangqin couldn’t speak, he could only stare at Chi Ye with his eyes, silently expressing his outrage.

“This is the second time, Grandpa. This time, I can’t pretend that nothing happened.”

Chi Xiangqin’s mouth under the oxygen mask opened and closed, not knowing what he was saying.

“Su Shi is my life, how dare you treat him like this?”

Chi Ye’s mind flashed with the various moments he had spent with Chi Xiangqin over the years, and he found that he couldn’t even find a single warm moment in his memories.

Most of the time, Chi Xiangqin was issuing orders, telling Chi Ye what he should do and what he was not allowed to do.

And he never asked Chi Ye what he liked to do or what he didn’t like to do.

“Grandpa, you’re almost eighty, you’ve lived long enough.”

Chi Xiangqin’s cloudy eyes widened, looking at Chi Ye in horror.

As Chi Ye got closer and closer, Chi Xiangqin became more and more fearful, shaking his head vigorously.

However, his body, weakened by the stroke, did not obey his commands. Although he was trying very hard, he couldn’t even make a small movement.

Chi Ye’s shadow had already covered him, and the aura of death was rushing towards him.

Chi Xiangqin had lived a glorious life, but he never expected to end up in such a state of paralysis from a stroke.

His body involuntarily trembled, and his throat made a sobbing sound.

Chi Ye’s expression didn’t change at all, he quietly reached out towards the oxygen mask, and said his farewell.

“Grandpa, I will protect the Chi family for you.”

Chi Xiangqin’s eyeballs almost popped out, and finally a line of turbid tears flowed out.

Chi Ye’s hand was already on the oxygen mask, his gaze was very cold.

In some ways, Chi Ye was very similar to Chi Xiangqin, inheriting Chi Xiangqin’s indifference and decisiveness.

Suddenly, the door behind him was opened, and a burst of hurried footsteps approached.

“Chi Ye, don’t!”

It was Su Shi.

The two bodyguards automatically stayed at the door, not coming in.

Chi Ye silently retracted his hand, turned around, and his expression had become gentle, “Why did you come?”

Su Shi walked to Chi Ye’s side, first looked at Chi Xiangqin on the hospital bed, and then said worriedly, “I was worried about you.”

Chi Ye showed a smile that had almost no warmth.

Su Shi’s heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and he grabbed Chi Ye’s arm, “Chi Ye, I don’t blame him, so don’t…”

Su Shi had heard everything Chi Ye said outside just now, and combined with the whole matter, he finally understood.

What Chi Xiangqin meant by “you will regret it in the future” was this.

If Su Shi had agreed to break up with Chi Ye, Chi Xiangqin would not have handed him over to Du Li.

But Su Shi was stubborn and wouldn’t listen to reason, so this was the result.

However, Su Shi didn’t regret it, he wouldn’t compromise if he had to do it again, he just didn’t want to break up.

There were not so many “if only I had known” in the world.

Chi Ye lowered his head, his gaze falling on Su Shi’s bandaged hand, his affection overflowing.

He said with a bit of amusement, “What did you think I was going to do?”

Su Shi had seen clearly just now, Chi Ye was going to pull out the oxygen mask, that was too bold.

Su Shi was not a saintly mother who returned good for evil, he couldn’t forgive him easily.

But Chi Xiangqin was Chi Ye’s grandfather, and he didn’t want Chi Ye to bear the reputation of being unfilial and rebellious.

“Chi Ye, he’s already like this anyway, and he can’t hinder us.”

Chi Ye turned his head and glanced at Chi Xiangqin, who still looked like a dead fish.

He could hear and feel, but he couldn’t speak or move.

For someone who had once been so glorious, this was worse than death.

The purpose of the warning had been achieved, and Chi Ye said, “Don’t worry, I was just scaring him. I will take good care of Grandpa in the future.”

The word “filial piety” was deliberately emphasized.
