Once Xiang Han was sent to the hospital, he continued holding Lu Ze and groaning. Halfway through, he saw the doctor who had treated Xiang Han’s stomach problems last time. The other party saw him and said: “You really have fate with this hospital.”

However, after understanding the situation, he was kind enough to help the two arrange everything.

Lu Ze awkwardly tried to block the unknown substance on his pants and a certain part that had risen. His expression was extremely stiff. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life, and he furiously scolded Zhao Handong several times in his heart.

Being tormented the whole day, Xiang Han finally calmed down and fell asleep when night came. When Lu Ze came in, he saw Xiang Han’s leg had been propped up and his arm was in a cast. His wrists were wrapped in thick gauze as he laid pitifully on the bed.

The doctor ordered: "The traction needs two weeks. It's best to stay in the hospital during this time. You need to go and do the relevant paperwork tomorrow morning. The other wounds are not a big problem, his wrists only suffered superficial injuries and there are some fractures on his right arm. If his recovery goes well, the cast can be removed within a month.”

"Thank you." Lu Ze nodded his head. Waiting for the doctor to leave, he stepped forward and gently touched the bruises on Xiang Han’s face. A harsh light flashed through his eyes.

He quickly walked out of the ward and dialed his mother's private lawyer's number: "Uncle Zhang, there is something I need you to do for me."

When Xiang Han woke up and tried to move, he felt an incredible pain in his body and could not help but groan. It seemed that little nine had really used him as a machine and felt as if his body had fallen apart.

Lu Ze slept by the edge of the bed last night. When he heard the noise, he quickly woke up and asked, "You’re awake? How do you feel? Do you need me to call the doctor?"

Seeing worry in his eyes, Xiang Han was touched. The target was really good to him, being his friend was not in vain. He decided not to provoke the other person’s anger in the future and stay away from smelly tofu. Anyway, he had recently found out, that normal tofu was also quite delicious.

However, after a moment, the memory of last night finally came back to him. His expression suddenly froze and his mind went 'boom'. In a moment, he had turned red from his face all the way down to his neck, He hurriedly used his uninjured left hand to cover himself with the blanket and glumly said: "I'm fine, you go out."

Lu Ze guessed what he had thought of and the worry in his eyes suddenly turned into a smile. He leaned over and asked, "What, you want to run after eating?"

"What did I eat?" Wasn’t it just a little bit of touching and rubbing, it was not like he had… cough. That was a special situation, everybody should understand. As for the latter part, it was Lu Ze who took initiative to help him.

Xiang Han lowered the blanket guiltily, but when he turned his head, he was directly facing Lu Ze. They were very close to each other and could almost feel each other's breath lingering on their cheeks.

Xiang Han stared at him in a daze, unable to respond for a moment. Lu Ze’s eyes gradually deepened. He slowly approached, pressing his lips against Xiang Han’s for a moment before licking it a little. He slowly pried Xiang Han's lips apart and firmly intruded into his mouth, sucking his tongue mercilessly.

Xiang Han’s brain crashed, watching him approach, he could not put up any resistance. At this time, his face was so red to the point of dripping blood and had forgotten to breathe. A numbing feeling came from his tongue before he suddenly sobered up and pushed Lu Ze away.

Lu Ze was afraid of hurting him. He quickly let go and found out that Xiang Han had held his breath until his tears almost came out and found it a bit funny: "Dummy, how can you forget to breathe?"

With tears in his eyes, Xiang Han complained: "I treat you as a friend, but you… you actually... Ah!"

Lu Ze leaned over for another kiss before he asked, "Which of your eyes saw that we were friends?"

Xiang Han was kissed until he was furious and raged: "So it was just my wishful thinking. You never treated me as a friend? I was kind enough to help you and the prota... the, the who."

“Help?” Lu Ze’s face suddenly turned black, and when he recalled the people he had interacted with recently, he immediately asked, “Sun Shuya?”

"Oh, you guessed it?" Xiang Han was somewhat surprised. After seeing Lu Ze's dark face, he could not help shrinking his neck back and carefully asked, "Don't you have feelings for him?"

"Which eye of yours saw that I have feelings for him?" Lu Ze was about to go mad from anger.

Xiang Han tried to defend himself: "But you obviously admire him! He is just an intern, yet you give the most important jobs to him and always work overtime with him..."

This time it was Lu Ze's turn to be stunned. Watched Xiang Han’s 'uneasy' expression, his heart gradually had an understanding.

He did appreciate Sun Shuya’s skills, so he gave him important projects. He also often worked overtime because he was too focused on his work. However, he did not expect that this would hurt Xiang Han.

Also, both of them were interns. While Sun Shuya was responsible for important projects, Xiang Han spent his days chilling in the office. Moreover, the other person was also younger than him by a year. Thus, he had misunderstood. But Lu Ze really didn't think much about it at that time. The IT department was too busy and he often had to work overtime until early morning. He did not want Xiang Han to overwork as well.

He did not expect Xiang Han to misunderstand and think that he liked Sun Shuya, and even stupidly try to help them. No wonder, even after he reassured Xiang Han before that he didn't want to return to the Lu Family, he still insisted on breaking up. No wonder every time he saw Sun Shuya, Xiang Han would stay far away. He wanted to help him.

"I'm sorry." Lu Ze hugged him tightly and said in a low voice: "How can you be so stupid? I never liked him. I’ve always like you."

Xiang Han gritted his teeth, but after hearing the latter sentence, he immediately became stunned and then asked with a complicated expression: "How, how can this be? Are you misunderstanding something? Aren’t we friends?"

Lu Ze laughed coldly and quietly reached his hand into the quilt and held a certain part: "Does a friend do this for you?"

Xiang Han’s face instantly turned red, he only felt the blood rushing to his lower body and stammered, "You, you, you take your hand away first. We can discuss this properly."

Lu Ze unkindly squeezed it before he took back his hand with a smirk, hugging Xiang Han and saying, “The company has just been set up and there are too many things to do. Not giving you too many projects was because I was afraid of making you work too hard. If you are not satisfied, then wait. After leaving the hospital, how about going to the technical department? As for Sun Shuya, you really misunderstood. I have no feelings for him. Maybe there was a bit of appreciation before, but I never had any other thoughts, especially..."

Speaking of this, Lu Ze’s smile suddenly faded and his voice turned cold.

"Especially... what?" Xiang Han asked.

"He may be a spy sent by Zhao Handong."

"Ah?"

Facing Xiang Han, Lu Ze continued: “I checked last night that the attack on Zhao Handong was resolved with Sun Shuya’s help. If not, Zhao Handong would not have the spare energy to find you.”

"Ah?"

Xiang Han had once again frozen, asking his system: [Little nine, the protagonist already started colluding with the actual male lead so early on?]

The system said weakly: [The protagonist really does have a problem. I found out just now. I guess... he may have been reborn].

[What!?] Xiang Han directly added to the mess: [Then, doesn’t that mean he already liked Zhao Handong? The target had no chance? My efforts have been for nothing?]

The system murmured: [The plot has collapsed. Mr. Xiang, you are free to come up with solutions].

Xiang Han simply wanted to collapse: [At this time, where can I find someone to replace the protagonist?]

Big A appeared and reminded him: [Aren’t you here?]

He did not know when his system has turned against him, Xiang Han’s heart felt stuffy: [That’s right, Mr. Xiang. The target seems to like you anyway.]

Lu Ze also hugged him and said, "Don't 'ah' anymore, this matter has already been explained. Don’t tell me you still want to break up?"

"But, we’ve already signed a contract," Xiang Han still wanted to struggle before his death.

Lu Ze kissed his forehead and smiled: "That kind of contract that is like selling your body will not be recognized by the law."

Big A came out again: [Everything has been easily resolved. Isn't it beautiful?]

Little B also appeared: [Mr. Xiang, this is just a game. You don’t need to be so conflicted. Haven't you played games like Sims, Love, etc?]

Xian Han: [Played, but ... this is too real, and the target likes to get too touchy].

Little B: [It’s a game, this is just a game. Just treat it as a dream.]

Xiang Han: [...]
