Chapter 515 His Conditions
"Lu Yi, you said you have the antidote for Yuexue. You aren’t lying to me, are you? Where are you now? I’ll come right over."
Hearing the anxious tone in Shen Heyu’s voice, Lu Yi knew that betting all his fortunes for this antidote wasn’t a bad deal, as it had finally made Shen Heyu sad for him. Previously, Shen Heyu had never been so concerned or troubled about him.
"I’m at home right now. Come over."
After hanging up, Lu Yi opened a bottle of red wine and slowly savored it while glancing at the clock. Shen Heyu didn’t make him wait very long as he hurried in just ten minutes later.
This was the fastest Shen Heyu had ever arrived when Lu Yi needed him. Watching Shen Heyu enter, Lu Yi swirled the red wine in his glass, whereas Shen Heyu was frantic, all for an antidote.
"Lu Yi, I want to confirm again, you aren’t joking, right? Do you really have the antidote that was on Yuexue? When did you get it and from where? These past days, just the thought of Yuexue still poisoned made me frantic and sleepless."
Shen Heyu was genuinely overjoyed. If it were Pei Yansi standing in front of him, he would’ve embraced him in happiness, but the man in front of him was none other than Lu Yi, so he restrained himself from hugging.
"There’s no lie, I really got the antidote. Don’t worry about how I obtained it; just know that I can save Yuexue’s life now." Lu Yi leisurely took a sip of red wine, and upon hearing this, Shen Heyu’s eyes brightened. This was the best news he had heard in a long time, and he almost fainted from happiness.
However, Lu Yi didn’t let him stay happy for too long, as he slowly gestured for him to take a seat, then said, "Let’s sit down and talk. I called you here today to discuss what you can give me in exchange for this antidote. After all, it took a lot of efforts to acquire it, and I can’t be at a loss."
As long as Lu Yi had that antidote to save Yuexue, Shen Heyu didn’t mind negotiating terms, figuring Lu Yi also must have struggled greatly to secure it.
"What do you want me to do?" Shen Heyu obediently sat down across from Lu Yi, who then sipped his wine, his eyes gleaming with pleasure. This was the first time Shen Heyu had been so docile to him, as docile as if in a dream.
Even in his dreams, Lu Yi hadn’t imagined such a scenario; he was so delighted he almost choked on his wine. Setting down his glass, he laughed until his shoulders shook, while Shen Heyu’s heart leaped to his throat, eagerly anticipating what he would say next.
"Lu Yi, stop beating around the bush. We’ve known each other for some time now. Besides, when I left Pei Yansi’s side, it was you who stayed and took care of Yuexue. You’ve developed deep feelings for her, can you bear to see her continue to suffer in the hospital?"
