“This watch is custom-made, about three million seven or eighty thousand,” Bai Yao answered for Duan Junran.

Liu Yucheng: “…”

He suddenly felt that he really didn’t deserve to be here.

Bai Yao’s new home is luxuriously decorated, as is the furniture. This is only because Bai Yao is studying here, and his mother “casually” picked out a duplex for him.

Bai Yao was right just now. He should have stayed in the house obediently just now, so he wouldn’t have to watch Bai Yao chat happily with another rich young master, nor would he have stepped on the rich young master’s watch worth seven figures.

Without his appearance, maybe these two rich young masters would kiss each other after a while. He, Liu Yucheng, is just an outsider who doesn’t even have the right to be jealous.

“But you don’t have to worry.”

Bai Yao took the tickets from Duan Junran and returned the watch to him, “This custom-made watch has a lifetime warranty. Young Master Duan is joking with you, you don’t have to pay.”

Liu Yucheng was stunned.

Duan Junran said dissatisfied: “Okay, Bai Yao, you’re really something. I ran so far to give you a gift, but you’re helping outsiders!”

“I accept the tickets, I like them very much, thank you very much.”

Bai Yao said seriously: “Go to my house and ask Aunt Yang for the car keys. Keep a low profile when driving, don’t let my mother’s spies find out, you’ll have to pay if you break it.”

Duan Junran smiled and patted Bai Yao on the shoulder: “My brother is still loyal enough, then I won’t bother you two? I’m on sabbatical this semester, didn’t go to class, and sneaked out from home… Call me when you go back on vacation, let’s go out for a meal.”

“Okay.”

…

After Duan Junran left, Bai Yao ordered takeout and stood silently in front of the dining table, unpacking the takeout bag.

Liu Yucheng stood aside, rubbing the tablecloth for a long time before cautiously asking him: “Which ticket are you going to use?”

Bai Yao raised his eyes and glanced at him.

He thought Liu Yucheng would first ask why he wanted to help him, or some other nonsense question; and then wait until he was asked impatiently, he would then turn to the matter of the tickets.

“The tickets he bought have more luxurious packaging than mine, and there’s even a ribbon tied on them.”

Liu Yucheng lowered his head and muttered softly, “Maybe it’s a VIP seat in the front row… but for the ticket I gave you, you have to go to the venue in advance to reserve a seat.”

This sounds so sour.

Bai Yao grinned and bit his lip – he must not laugh at this time, it will hurt Liu Yucheng’s self-esteem.

“I think you should use the ticket he gave you. My ticket is not as good as his, and it may make it hard for you to reserve a seat.”

The more Liu Yucheng spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and one corner of the tablecloth was rubbed into a wrinkled mess by him.

“Do you really think so?” Bai Yao asked him deliberately.

“Yeah.”

Liu Yucheng glanced faintly at the two female bodyguards sitting at the next table, sharing pizza, and said, “You can take one of them into the venue with the remaining ticket, to protect you.”

This is also a way to not waste tickets.

In fact, these two tickets are exactly the same, there is no difference, and both require going to the venue in advance to reserve a seat.

But Bai Yao had already made a decision, saying, “I’m definitely going to take someone with me, but not them.”

Liu Yucheng stopped talking and helped Bai Yao unpack the takeout.

He didn’t have the courage to ask who Bai Yao was planning to take to the concert.

If he made Bai Yao angry, getting beaten up or slapped would be a minor matter; his relationship with Bai Yao was too fragile now, just maintaining it was already difficult, and he didn’t dare to cross the line.

“Are you sure you want to go with me to… that place during the vacation?”

While eating, Liu Yucheng wanted to confirm with him again.

Although the place they were going to was not a good place, this was the first time he and Bai Yao had traveled together, and he was worried that Bai Yao was just impulsive last night.

Bai Yao didn’t reply.

Liu Yucheng raised his head and found that Bai Yao was holding the chopsticks in one hand, his whole body curled up into a ball.

He stood up directly and found that Bai Yao was holding his stomach, “What’s wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable??”

The hand holding the chopsticks finally loosened, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Bai Yao sat on the chair and swayed twice. Liu Yucheng was about to rush over to support him when the two bodyguards sitting on the sofa eating pizza rushed over like two female ninjas, one supporting Bai Yao’s shoulders and the other blocking Liu Yucheng.

“Please step back,” she warned.

Liu Yucheng was stunned, “What’s going on?? He’s been holding his stomach, is his stomach problem acting up?”

“It’s not good, it seems like the young master is allergic. There’s something in your takeout that he can’t eat.” The other person put her hand on Bai Yao’s pulse and said, “Call 120!”

Liu Yucheng quickly took out his phone.

But Bai Yao ordered this takeout himself, and he should have confirmed the ingredient list, so how could he still be allergic?

…

“Wuwu, why am I in the hospital again.”

Bai Yao lay on the hospital bed, crying without tears, with an IV drip, humming and chirping: “I want Aunt Yang to come over, I dare not eat outside food anymore, sob sob…”

After the doctor’s examination, it was determined to be acute gastroenteritis, low-grade fever, plus a little bit of allergic symptoms.

It was not only because of the takeout at noon, but also because of the cold on the way home last night. The situation was not serious, but he needed to have an IV in the hospital today, and he needed to be observed for another night.

“Young Master, Aunt Yang still needs to stay in that city to take care of her daughter, so she can’t come over.”

The two bodyguards were not very good at cooking, but they had already opened the recruitment advertisements, “How about we hire a cook for you?”

“There’s an Aunt Li with the surname Li here, she looks good.” Liu Yucheng was also looking at his phone, “She has ten years of work experience, do you want to take a look?”

“Don’t bother! I won’t look!”

Bai Yao shouted: “I’ve hired many before, but only the food made by Aunt Yang is okay for me to eat, sigh.”

“Then how about…” Liu Yucheng suddenly said, “You learn to cook yourself, the food you make yourself is the safest.”

“Who will teach me? My mom can’t cook either.”

Bai Yao rolled his eyes, “Or I should transfer schools, transfer to my home city, so at least…”

“I’ll teach you!”

Liu Yucheng became a little anxious as soon as he heard this, “I used to work part-time, I worked as a kitchen helper in a restaurant, I have no problem with the cuisine over there, I can definitely teach you.”

The two bodyguards: “?”

Bai Yao: “?”

Bai Yao: “Damn it, really? Your resume is a bit too rich, right??”

Liu Yucheng clicked on his job search APP and showed him a job application record from two years ago.

“To eat, I used to take several jobs during the holidays.”

He said, “The doctor just said that you can only drink some thin porridge these two days. I can make it for you, but… I have to borrow your kitchen.”

Bai Yao hesitated.

He actually didn’t eat much of the lunch before he started feeling uncomfortable; before drawing blood just now, he vomited a lot of water again. Although he wasn’t hungry at the moment, he was especially thirsty, and he wanted to eat anything that contained water, but…

“No need, too much trouble.”

Bai Yao turned over and said lightly, “The mid-term exams are next week, go back to school and review. I have two bodyguard sisters taking care of me.”

That was close, he almost fell for Liu Yucheng’s trick.

He had already discovered that Liu Yucheng was actually a person who was very good at climbing up the pole. As long as he was given a little bit of opportunity, as long as he was willing, he could maximize that opportunity.

It’s just that when they were in love before, Bai Yao gave him opportunities, but he didn’t want them.

If he agreed to let him cook for himself today, he might run into Liu Yucheng holding a lunch box when he goes back to school for class, with an additional sentence, this is a nutritious lunch specially made for you, I guarantee you won’t be allergic or have a stomach ache after eating it…

Bai Yao’s face would become especially thin when facing similar things, and he wouldn’t be able to refuse if he wasn’t careful, and it would only become more and more troublesome in the future.

“Young Master, I just thought this Little Liu was quite clueless, what do you mean ‘I’ll teach you’, it’s so paternalistic. But now that he’s on the right track, you’re not on the right track.”

The bodyguard suddenly said.

This was a bit roundabout, and Bai Yao obviously didn’t understand; but Liu Yucheng understood in seconds and turned his face aside awkwardly.

“What do you mean?”

Bai Yao asked her directly, “If taking care of me is considered extra overtime, can’t I just pay extra?”

“My sister doesn’t mean that, but there’s one thing she said wrong.”

Another bodyguard added: “But I guess he’s not on the right track, he’s trying to play the long game. He said he wants to teach you, so he can have more opportunities to spend time with you. Young Master, you’re right not to agree to him, very clever.”

Liu Yucheng: “…………”

These two women are really annoying.

Bai Yao pondered her words and felt that they were absolutely right, so he said: “Liu Yucheng, did you hear that? I’m very satisfied with the birthday gift you gave me, and plus you ran around when I got into the ambulance, so I won’t chase you away. It’s up to you whether you go back to school to review or stay here.”

Liu Yucheng knew that if he didn’t leave at this time, Bai Yao would probably turn his face.

After thinking for a few seconds, Liu Yucheng asked him: “I have an exam tomorrow, I’ll bring you the notes, which subject do you want to review?”

Bai Yao frowned as he listened, “Are you directly deleting the ‘not reviewing’ option for me?”

“That’s right, you’re sick, so don’t review.”

Liu Yucheng took his coat in his hand, “Then I’ll go first, you rest well.”

The two bodyguards: “…”

What a routine.

“Heh, there’s no way I won’t review.”

Bai Yao was so angry that his teeth itched, but he still said: “Just bring me the modern history notes.”

“Wait, we can help him with this!”

The bodyguard quickly said, “Young Master, I’ll go back and get it for you, my sister will stay here and watch over you!”

“His modern history notes are recorded in three notebooks separately.” Liu Yucheng silently asked, “He has more than a dozen notebooks in total, and the subjects are mixed up, can you find them?”

“You two discuss who will go with him, I’m even more worried about him going to our house alone. Remember to change the combination lock at home before you leave.”

Bai Yao yawned, “The other one can just stay here and watch over me.”

“Okay.”

…

In the evening, the nurse came in to change the medicine, and Bai Yao, who had slept for three and a half hours, finally woke up.

There was a lunch box on the table next to him, and the two bodyguards stood by the bed, watching the nurse change the medicine.

“Young Master, you’re awake? How do you feel?”

“Much better, and I don’t feel as thirsty anymore.”

Bai Yao propped himself up and sat up, leaned against the head of the bed and stretched, “Did Liu Yucheng go back to school?”

The bodyguard pursed her lips and turned her body slightly – Liu Yucheng was sitting on the small stool behind her, reviewing.

“Ladies, can you let me through now?”

Seeing Bai Yao wake up, Liu Yucheng helplessly pointed to the three notebooks on his lap. Those were Bai Yao’s modern history, calculus, and English notes, and they also served as Bai Yao’s drawing book when he was slacking off in class.

“Put the notes aside first, I don’t want to look at them right now.”

Bai Yao reached out and took the lunch box on the table, opened it and took a look. Inside was hot porridge, which looked thicker than the ones sold outside, and it also had eggs.

The nurse next to him saw it and said: “You can drink some porridge now, be sure to drink it slowly, don’t drink too much at once.”

However, Bai Yao also put the porridge aside, “Wait a while, I don’t have an appetite right now.”

The two bodyguards didn’t say that the porridge was bought, and it didn’t look like it was bought; and Liu Yucheng was sitting there without saying a word, so it’s not hard to guess who made the porridge.

After a long time, the nurse finished changing the medicine and left the ward. Bai Yao said: “I want to go to the bathroom.”

There was a threshold at the entrance of the bathroom, and the IV stand couldn’t be pushed in, so someone needed to help him hold the IV drip, or help him take off his pants.

“Who wants to volunteer?”

Bai Yao’s tone gave people a calm but also slightly awkward feeling.
