Chapter 384 - 7.74 You Know Nothing
His head was currently cradled in Moshe’s arms — and the sounds that echoed in his ears were Moshe’s irregular heartbeats that somehow caused the knife to twist deeper into his chest. He tried to get up but Moshe put one palm on his chest to hold him in place.
"Stay." His voice was more subdued now, the emotions carefully concealed under the current. The golden eyes that were gazing down at him were fathomless. "Kaede can’t detect anything wrong with you so we are going to the hospital now."
Lu Yizhou gave a slow blink and subconsciously reached out to grab Moshe’s hand. Moshe’s chest was warm yet his fingers were icy cold. Lu Yizhou frowned at his low temperature. He brought those beautiful and slender fingers to his mouth and puffed out warm air to them.
"M’kay... no need for hospital," he mumbled. For some reason, his whole body felt sluggish and his limbs heavy. Why did he feel so sleepy?
[666: Host, it’s the same as when a software is going through an upgrade. Your body needs a reboot so it can recover its function.]
Lu Yizhou hummed and tucked his head into the crook of Moshe’s neck instead, breathing in the familiar citrusy scent. It filled his lungs akin to the most potent anesthetic, making him feel weightless and light. He felt so comfortable that his eyelids fluttered shut again. "Just need to...sleep..."
"No." Moshe’s voice was soft and firm. It left no room for arguments. "We are giving you a full body check up."
There was something in his tone that forced Lu Yizhou to open his eyes again and lift his head. He drank in the swirl of molten gold in those pupils from a close distance. Moshe’s eyes were still unreadable, but Lu Yizhou knew him. Had learned Moshe’s personality from the short time they spent together. The more he closed off his heart, the more he was feeling right now. And he was trying to block it, preventing himself from getting swept away by the strong current.
The knowledge landed on Lu Yizhou like a blow straight to his gut and it actually managed to disperse the sleepiness that had been dragging on the back of his mind. "I will explain everything later so..." He reached out to trail his fingertips across Moshe’s soft cheek. It was cold. How did he get so cold all of a sudden? "Do not worry. I swear that I will be fine. It’s just a dizzy spell."
