Became the Terminally Ill Supporting Male Lead's Rabbit Spirit

Chapter 66

"Lu Zhe."

Su Ci was surprised to see the young man appear suddenly.

Lu Zhe quietly watched the girl standing next to Ji Chi, his gaze a bit cold. "Tuan Tuan, come here."

Meeting Lu Zhe's gaze, Su Ci felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. She had just hung up Lu Zhe's call, and in the blink of an eye, he caught her outside the bar.

Su Ci turned her head and instructed the bodyguard, "Take Ji Chi to the hospital."

Then, she obediently walked over to Lu Zhe.

The soft and flowing hem of the girl's dress brushed past Ji Chi's fingertips, and he clenched his hand tightly.

His mouth and eyebrows were bruised, but it did not diminish his handsomeness. Instead, his hard and cold face gained a few traces of unruliness.

Watching the girl walk lightly towards the young man, Ji Chi weakly loosened his grip.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Lu Zhe suddenly appear, Su Ci was pleasantly surprised.

"I was just nearby, discussing some business with a client," Lu Zhe's hand naturally rested on the girl's waist, showing strong possessiveness. "What about you?"

"I had some business here," Su Ci thought of the golden cotton candy she had just obtained and the fact that she could now see Lu Zhe, her mood improved.

Lu Zhe glanced at Ji Chi across from them, his gaze a bit cold. He asked Su Ci, "Is your business done?"

Su Ci nodded, "It's done. I'll go with you."

Lu Zhe's stiff face softened slightly. "Alright."

Boss Fang had been paying attention to Lu Zhe and Su Ci's situation from inside the car. Seeing that Lu Zhe was about to take Su Ci away, he quickly got out of the back seat.

Su Ci greeted him, "Uncle Fang."

Boss Fang chuckled, "I was just discussing some business with Xiao Zhe and some clients nearby." He observed the expressions of Su Ci and Lu Zhe, wondering if there was anything wrong between them.

"Get in the car. Let's first send Uncle Fang back," Lu Zhe opened the back door.

"Actually, I can take a taxi back," Boss Fang was very tactful. He had been young before and certainly didn't want to be a third wheel.

Su Ci felt a bit embarrassed, "It's okay, Uncle Fang, please get in the car."

"Then I'll sit in the front," Boss Fang opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down.

With Boss Fang in the front, Lu Zhe and Su Ci sat in the back.

The car started, and the lights quickly receded behind them. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the night highway was a bit quiet.

Su Ci felt the distance between her and Lu Zhe was a bit too far, so she quietly moved her body until her arm touched Lu Zhe's, then she stopped.

At this moment, outside the bar.

Ding Xiaoyou was surprised to see Su Ci walk towards the suddenly appeared young man. Didn't she like Ji Chi? How did she leave with another man?

"Ji Chi, let me accompany you to the hospital," Since the pampered girl was gone, she had to seize the opportunity, "You got injured saving me, I should take care of you."

Ji Chi stood straight, he tilted his head and looked at Ding Xiaoyou with a faint smile on her face, "Please stay away from me."

Ding Xiaoyou's face turned pale, instantly hurt by Ji Chi's cold gaze.

The bodyguard drove the car over and stopped in front of Ji Chi, "Young Master Ji Chi, please get in the car."

Ji Chi ignored Ding Xiaoyou and got into the car directly.

There were quite a few drunk customers coming in and out of the bar.

Left alone, Ding Xiaoyou could only take a taxi. At that moment, a drunk, pot-bellied man appeared from somewhere and bumped into Ding Xiaoyou, "Little sister, are you alone?"

Ding Xiaoyou's face turned pale with fright, "I don't know you, stay away from me."

The drunk man looked at Ding Xiaoyou and laughed foolishly, wanting to reach out and hug her. The next second, not sure if the man was too drunk, he made a vomiting sound and seemed about to throw up.

Ding Xiaoyou looked at him with disgust, wanting to move away.

Before she could, the drunk man couldn't hold it back and vomited directly onto Ding Xiaoyou.

"Ah..."

The foul and disgusting vomit covered her white dress, and Ding Xiaoyou was on the verge of collapse. Thinking of Su Ci leaving in a luxury car and Ji Chi abandoning her, she felt wronged and cried.

Her family was already very poor, why did heaven make her encounter so many bad things?

...

The car was very quiet.

Su Ci turned her head to look at Lu Zhe, and the next second, he also lowered his head to look at her.

His dark eyes, in the dim light, had an indescribable depth.

Su Ci's heart suddenly trembled, wanting to see clearly the color of Lu Zhe's eyes, but he reached out and stroked her hair, disturbing her vision.

The car arrived at Boss Fang's residential area. Seeing Boss Fang get out of the car, Su Ci also urged Lu Zhe to get out.

"I have something good to give you," Lu Zhe's previous rental house opposite Boss Fang's had not been canceled, it was more convenient to go there to kiss him.

Lu Zhe looked at the girl pulling his small hand, her fingertips white and delicate.

This time, Lu Zhe did not refuse, but was very cooperative.

The night deepened, and the neighborhood was very quiet.

Su Ci allowed Lu Zhe to hold her hand and walked upstairs.

Lu Zhe took out the key and opened the door of the house.

He turned on the living room lights, the warm yellow light fell on the girl's eyes, like filled with beautiful stars.

Closing the door, Lu Zhe's cold voice was a bit low, "Do you want to drink water?"

Su Ci shook her head.

Her two white jade arms directly wrapped around his shoulders, her body pressed against him, eager to give him the golden cotton candy, "Kiss me."

Lu Zhe did not move.

Su Ci tiptoed, getting closer to him, and suddenly smelled the smell of wine on his thin lips.

"Did you drink?" She was a bit surprised, Lu Zhe easily gets drunk when he drinks.

Lu Zhe steadied her waist, "Just one cup."

The boy's eyes were dark and moist, as if intoxicated, Su Ci smiled, "Lu Zhe, are you drunk?"

Lu Zhe shook his head, "No."

He lowered his eyes to look at the girl, his hand gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear. His cold voice, in the quiet living room, was exceptionally clear and pleasant, "Why did Tuan Tuan hang up my call tonight?"

"Ji Chi got into trouble in the bar, and I was busy saving him at that time, so I didn't answer your call," Su Ci explained, "The second time I hung up, it was because the bar was too noisy, and I didn't want you to know I was there."

The girl was very honest.

Lu Zhe's gaze darkened, his cold fingertips landed on her ears, gently rubbing her small earlobe. His throat felt dry, "Why did you go to the bar? Because of Ji Chi?"

Su Ci nodded, the next second, she felt the fingertips rubbing her earlobe increase in strength.

It didn't hurt, but it was very itchy.

Su Ci wanted to reach out and scratch her ear.

She said confidently, "I went to do good deeds."

Lu Zhe looked at her.

Su Ci explained to him, "Ji Chi was beaten in the bar, and I went to save him."

Lu Zhe loosened his hand rubbing the girl's small earlobe, he lowered his head, his thin lips approaching her ear, the injured hand holding her small hand, pressing it against his chest, "Tuan Tuan, it hurts here."

Su Ci was stunned, in her palm, she felt the strong and powerful heartbeat of the boy.

The cold thin lips gently touched the girl's small earlobe, "Do you like Ji Chi?"

Su Ci was directly shocked by Lu Zhe's words, "How could it be!"

She wanted to see Lu Zhe's expression, wanted to explain to him, and the next second, her earlobe was directly captured by Lu Zhe's thin lips.

The cold, itchy sensation came, and Su Ci was so startled that her watery eyes widened in shock.

Lu Zhe held the girl's small hand, pressing it hard against his chest, where it felt both sour and painful.

"Lu Zhe..."

Su Ci was not only sensitive to her rabbit ears, but also to her current ears.

The small earlobe was suddenly lightly bitten by teeth, Su Ci couldn't help but let out a low hum, the wateriness in her eyes even more pronounced.

She was closely beside Lu Zhe, her body feeling a bit weak.

"Lu Zhe, are you jealous?" Su Ci endured the boy's mischief by her ear, she sensitively felt his low mood.

"Mm," Lu Zhe loosened his teeth, gently kissed the teasingly red little earlobe.

He had thought that after he was gone, the girl would surely find someone else to accompany her, and the mere thought of it was enough to make him jealous to the point of madness.

"Tuan Tuan, don't like anyone else," Lu Zhe knew he was selfish, even though he knew he was terminally ill and had little time left, he still wanted to trap her, wanted her eyes to only have him.

In Ji Chi, he saw a shadow similar to his own.

Lonely, cold.

When he saw Su Ci standing together with Ji Chi, he couldn't help but worry that she might fall for the other man. After all, in this world, anyone else seemed more deserving to stand by her side than him.

Su Ci blinked, surprised for the first time to hear Lu Zhe utter a pleading tone. She enjoyed seeing him jealous, but she couldn't bear to see him so humble.

"I didn't know you liked me this much," Su Ci said, looking up at him. Her radiant eyes sparkled with joy. "I won't like anyone else. I only like you."

Lu Zhe quietly gazed at her.

"This time, I went to the bar to save Ji Chi, just like last time on the mountain when I saved Li Chenyu." Su Ci's hand gently touched the cold, stiff side of Lu Zhe's face. "You're so smart, you must have noticed something unusual about me a long time ago. I told you, I'm inherently selfish, but because of you, I can become an angel who saves people."

Lu Zhe realized that the girl was about to reveal her biggest secret to him. His heart pounded violently, and his fingertips tingled.

Su Ci asked him, "Lu Zhe, a medical report might deceive you, but your body won't. Haven't you ever wondered why your condition has been improving?"

Lu Zhe was stunned. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.

He knew Su Ci had saved many people, and each time it seemed she was always prepared to do so. As for his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the frequency of his episodes had indeed decreased. But he had never connected the two.

Su Ci tiptoed and kissed the cold, thin lips of the young man. "You can guess boldly."

After all, she had never deliberately avoided him when saving others.

Lu Zhe was usually sharp, but now his thoughts were a bit muddled. "You save people because of me?"

Su Ci nodded.

"Why?" Lu Zhe couldn't understand the connection, even feeling it was just wishful thinking. He was unsure. "Does your saving people... improve my condition?"

In the next moment, Su Ci nodded again. She couldn't say anything too explicit.

Wasn't she just letting him figure it out on his own?

With the answer, Lu Zhe's dark eyes deepened. His stiff face showed an expression of disbelief. "Tuan Tuan, why..."

"I can't say," Su Ci looked at him. "Just remember, as long as I'm here, you won't die."

"Tuan Tuan," Lu Zhe softly called out to the girl.

The revelation was too shocking, and he needed time to process it.

Since learning he had ALS, he had mentally prepared himself for only a few years left to live. He wouldn't give up; he would make the most of each day.

He had never dared to hope his illness could be cured.

And now, the girl in his arms told him his condition would improve, that he wouldn't die. A surge of warmth filled his chest as Lu Zhe tightly furrowed his brows.

"Aren't you happy?" Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe in confusion. She had kept this secret for so long, and she thought he would be overjoyed to know.

Lu Zhe nodded. "Happy."

He didn't doubt the girl was lying to him. Before, he couldn't understand why he felt his body improving, but now he had the answer.

He was being sustained by Su Ci's acts of saving others.

Lu Zhe lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers. "I don't want you to put yourself in danger because of me."

Su Ci smiled. Her boy was more concerned about her safety than his own life.

Su Ci was always very cautious about her own safety. She would never put herself in unnecessary danger. "Don't worry, I won't blindly save people. If it's beyond my ability, I'll give up."

Su Ci tiptoed and pressed her red lips against his. "So, you need to kiss me more. I'll give you something good, and you'll get better quickly."

"What's the good thing?" Lu Zhe asked. Every time the girl mentioned giving him something good, it usually meant she wanted to kiss him.

But he had never seen what she referred to as the "good thing."

Su Ci wanted to tell him that the "good thing" could cure his illness, but she couldn't say it outright.

She kissed his cold lips and, between their lips and teeth, she replied, "You guess."

Lu Zhe realized that the "good thing" Su Ci mentioned must be something that could treat his illness. So, she had been saving people to extend his life for a long time.

A wave of warmth surged through his chest.

He finally understood what she had been doing for him all along.

Lu Zhe opened his mouth and captured the girl's mischievous little tongue, passionately entwining it with his own.

After a while, Su Ci's legs felt weak, and her lips were numb. Maybe it was because Lu Zhe had been drinking, but this time he kissed her fiercely, making her tongue ache.

She leaned weakly against Lu Zhe, her dark, radiant eyes glistening with moisture. "Now, you should understand that I saved Ji Chi for you."

"Mmm," Lu Zhe tightened his hold on her, afraid she might slip away.

Su Ci's slender fingers weakly clutched at his clothes. "You don't need to be jealous. The only person I like is you."

Under the light, Lu Zhe's stiff facial features softened completely. He simply replied, "Mmm."

The warm sensation in his arms made him realize he wasn't dreaming.

Su Ci pouted in dissatisfaction. She glared at him, accusingly. "I confessed to you, so you should confess to me too."

Lu Zhe was silent for a moment.

His thin lips moved to her ear, his cold voice now carrying a gentle, coaxing tone. "I only like you."

At his words, Su Ci's eyes lit up. She pretended to be coy. "Too quiet, I can't hear you."

Lu Zhe repeated himself, "I only like you."

Su Ci was delighted and leaned against Lu Zhe, her beautiful brows curved with joy. "Didn't hear that, say it again."

Lu Zhe looked at her, completely patient. "I like you."

Su Ci started to act up again, complaining, "The words are getting fewer each time! That one doesn't count."

Lu Zhe's lips pressed against her ear. "Su Ci, I like you."

Su Ci laughed in the boy's arms, looking like a little fox who had gotten what it wanted. "Lu Zhe, I want to hear it again..."
