Chapter 632: He’s So Thin-Skinned
Zi Yi left only after making sure that Lu Jingye had fallen asleep.
When she ca out from the courtyard, she did not expect to see Elder Hu walking back and forth outside the entrance with his hands behind his back.
Elder Hu was not only pacing back and forth outside. He was also looking at the entrance from ti to ti.
When he saw Zi Yi opening the door and making her way outside, his eyes brightened, and he walked over in large strides. “Little Zi, you’ve finally co out.”
Zi Yi laughed and said, “Elder Hu, don’t tell you’ve been pacing around here for quite so ti?”
“Not really. I just arrived too.” Elder Hu originally ca over to call for Zi Yi, but he just so happened to hear Zi Yi forcing Lu Jingye to sleep. He guessed that Lu Jingye did not sleep last night and so, he waited for her outside.
“Little Zi, hurry and follow to the lab. Third Young Master Lu might be able to do a flip.”
When Elder Hu said that, his expression and tone of voice contained unconcealed excitent.
Zi Yi wanted to say that she had yet to eat but when she saw how excited Elder Hu was, she said, “Then give a minute while I go get so bread and milk.”
Lu Jingye had thought in advance that she might not have ti to have a al and so, he prepared milk and bread in the living room for her.
Elder Hu nodded his head. “Go, go grab them.”
Zi Yi picked up the milk and bread before she made her way out. On the way, she started discussing Lu Yunxiao with Elder Hu.
When they arrived at the lab, Zi Yi had just finished the milk and bread. She threw the tissue in the trash bin next to her. Just when she was about to enter the lab together with Elder Hu, she saw Lu Yi walking over in large strides.
“Elder Hu, Second Young Madam.”
The both of them stopped and turned to look at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi said, “I wish to go in with you two.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Sure. Yunxiao should be coming out later and you can co in to help.”
A trace of excitent flashed across Lu Yi’s expressionless face. He nodded in response and followed the both of them inside.
Lu Yunxiao was currently looking at the door with his pitch-black eyes. When he saw the three of them walking in, his eyes lit up imdiately.
Elder Hu, Zi Yi, and Lu Yi ca closer to where he was.
Lu Yi looked at Lu Yunxiao and called out with a trembling voice, “Leader.”
Lu Yunxiao gave him a nod.
All the words seed to have been said despite the silence.
Shortly after, Lu Yunxiao turned to look at Zi Yi and Elder Hu with an expectant gaze.
Zi Yi and Elder Hu made eye contact.
Elder Hu said to Lu Yunxiao, “Don’t be so anxious. Wait for us to check your physical indicators first.”
Zi Yi added and said, “Don’t be in a rush to do strenuous exercises when you co out. It’s normal to feel physically weak, as it has been a very long ti since you have exercised.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head in response.
Zi Yi walked to the controller and quickly operated it.
So ti later, a chanical voice sounded. “All indicators are in the normal range.”
Zi Yi stopped what she was doing and turned to Lu Yunxiao. “I’ll open the lid to the container now. Try to co out on your own later. If you can’t get used to breathing, go back into the dicine solution. Repeat this a few tis and you’ll get used to it.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head again.
Zi Yi tapped on the button to open the container. Imdiately after, the lid to the container slowly moved to the side before it slowly descended and reached the floor.
Zi Yi said, “You can slowly try to co out now.”
Lu Yunxiao did not imdiately rush to climb out of the solution. Instead, he followed what Zi Yi said and slowly ca out of the solution.
The first ti, he felt a little uncomfortable and went back into the solution.
The second ti, he got accustod to the air and revealed his entire head.
Lu Yunxiao and Lu Jingye resembled each other around 60% and both of them were the type of people that would stand out amongst the crowd. However, the image Lu Jingye gave off was similar to the warm sun in spring, while Lu Yunxiao was like the gales that blew in winter. The feeling that the both of them gave off was vastly different.
After Lu Yunxiao exposed his head to the air, he remained in the nutrient solution for two more minutes before he propped both his hands on the opening, as he planned to co out.
Lu Yi walked over to the side and helped him.
However, when Lu Yunxiao was about to co out, his gaze suddenly turned towards Zi Yi.
Shortly after he said, “Go get a towel.”
As Lu Yunxiao had not spoken for a long ti, his voice sounded extrely hoarse, similar to that of the sandpaper scratching over a surface.
Lu Yi imdiately understood his aning. He hastily removed his outerwear and said, “Leader, there’s no towel here. Please make do with my outerwear first.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded, propped himself up, and stepped onto the ground with Lu Yi’s help. At the sa ti, Lu Yi wrapped his outerwear around his waist.
Zi Yi and Elder Hu looked at both of them with bright gazes as Zi Yi muttered, “He’s so thin-skinned.”
Elder Hu knocked on Zi Yi’s head and said, “You lass. As his sister-in-law, this is his respect towards you.”
Zi Yi covered her forehead and continued to mutter, “In my eyes, he’s only a patient right now.”
Elder Hu had no words to refute.
When Lu Yunxiao stepped onto the ground, his body still felt a little weak and Lu Yi had to support his weight.
Zi Yi and Elder Hu walked over to where he was.
Lu Yunxiao was drenched in the nutrient solution which made his face look even more chiseled.
In particular, those eyes of his gave off a natural look of indifference. Due to the nutrients provided by the nutrient solution, his gaze had beco brighter.
He looked at Zi Yi and opened his mouth. “…”
Clearly, he was still unaccustod to calling her sister-in-law. He paused for a while before he managed to get the words out. “Sister-in-law.”
Zi Yi smiled and nodded at him as she said, “Ah Jing didn’t sleep for the entire night and only fell asleep earlier on. I made him go to sleep and if you wish to et him, you can co to our courtyard during dinner ti.”
She then turned to Lu Yi and said, “You can help Yunxiao to take a shower and get dressed.”
“Alright.”
There was a washroom just right beside them. Lu Jingye had already gotten Lu Yunxiao’s clothes prepared over there.
Zi Yi and Elder Hu waited for Lu Yunxiao to co out after taking a shower.
Zi Yi continued to talk to him, “Before tomorrow morning, there’s no need for you to eat. The nutrients from the nutrient solution are being absorbed inside your body and if you are thirsty, you can drink so water. However, don’t drink cold water. Your stomach won’t be able to adapt to the cold water.”
“Ok.”
Zi Yi thought that Lu Yunxiao would leave to take a rest first. She did not expect him to say, “I… can I go to your courtyard and wait for my brother?”
Lu Yunxiao looked cold on the outside, but those eyes of his were very bright. It should be that he had purposely hidden his indifference and right now, he looked like a big child who wanted to see his older brother right away.
In addition, he looked handso and so who could possibly reject his request?
Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “Follow .”
Shortly afterwards, she led him outside.
When Lu Yunxiao walked out of the lab and saw snow all around him, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. “It’s already winter!”
“Yes. You’ve been in a coma for at least five months.”
Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and concealed the emotions in his gaze.
On the way to their courtyard, no one spoke a single word. When they arrived outside, Lu Yunxiao prevented Lu Yi from supporting him further while he went in together with Zi Yi to wait for Lu Jingye.
Zi Yi got him to sit on the sofa and she said, “Ah Jing just fell asleep not too long ago. Let him sleep until dinner ti at the very least. If you have anything to ask, you can ask instead.”
Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth and looked at her, but ended up closing it in the end.
Zi Yi: “…”
Could it be that this person did not know what to say to her?
Zi Yi waited for so ti and when she saw that Lu Yunxiao was still silent, she said, “Forget it, if you don’t know what to say to , you can wait here alone. There’s boiled water over there and you can just help yourself.”
Zi Yi still had to go and prepare tonic soup for Lu Jingye. After she said her piece, she left Lu Yunxiao alone.
