There was a moment where Huo Ming Chen could not speak. He closed his eyes and leaned against Lu Qi's chest. One of his hands grabbed his crutches, the other discreetly held onto Lu Qi's shirt collar while he listened closely to that heartbeat beneath him beating faster and faster.
The man was walking very fast, but Huo Ming Chen felt like not even a second had passed. When he opened his eyes again, they were already at the entrance of their home. He patted the keys out of Lu Qi's pockets as he unhappily mumbled,
"Why did you walk so fast? There wasn't even a wolf chasing after you."
Lu Qi lightly shook his head and shuffled him up, voice huffing a little,
"No, there wasn't but you're a bit heavy. If I don't walk any faster, I wouldn't have been able to move at all."
Huo Ming Chen: "......"
Huo Ming Chen was very displeased at how useless Lu Qi was and opened the door,
"You useless fighting idiot. I'm so light, so thin that I'm only bones right now."
The man did look quite thin, but Lu Qi did not want to admit that he was too useless. He randomly found an excuse,
"Mhmm, you aren't heavy. It's the crutches that are too heavy."
Quickly taking off his shoes in the entryway, he walked over to the sofa to place Huo Ming Chen down and then sat next to him, heaving from the exercise. Huo Ming Chen gave him a glance and purposefully dropped his leg on Lu Qi and pointed at his injury,
"This is the victorious result of saving you. You have to be responsible for caring for me for the rest of my life."
Lu Qi lightly laughed and glanced at him from the side,
"Don't look at me. I'm counting on you to provide for me for the rest of my life."
Huo Ming Chen immediately had a smile on his face, one that made his eyes curve up into half moons and made it hard for others to see through his thoughts. He patted Lu Qi's shoulder hard and elongated his words,
"Alright~ Not just for the rest of your life, but for the rest of your next ten lives is fine as well."
Lu Qi looked at him and thought that he was really like a child, sometimes mad, sometimes laughing,
"Are you hungry? I can go make something for you?"
Huo Ming Chen shook his head,
"No, I'm not hungry. Besides, you can't even cook. Only your instant noodles are possibly ok to eat."
Lu Qi flicked his forehead,
"Going to starve you to death."
After he said that he rose up, preparing to take a shower in the bathroom. Seeing this, Huo Ming Chen threw himself onto Lu Qi's back, dragging the person back and moaning out,
"I want to shower too."
Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He reached out to touch the cast on his leg, with his voice very uncertain,
"I'm pretty sure the cast can't touch water, and it takes at least one month before you can take it off. We also don't know if your cast is fully dried or not. Why don't we just use towels to wipe you off?"
"What are you afraid of? As long as it doesn't touch water, it's fine."
Huo Ming Chen was indeed stubborn. What kind of patient with a cast would have spent his entire day running around with crutches? But on the other hand, Lu Qi's medical knowledge was very minimal, and he wasn't able to persevere against Huo Ming Chen's nagging. So after a moment's hesitation, he could only agree.
