Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White Lotus

The weather in China was gradually getting hotter, but Xie Mu’s condition was no better than it was in winter. It was always rainy in the south, and as long as it rained, the man’s leg, which had been injured twice, felt akin to being stabbed by fine needles over and over again. Usually he could only lie in bed with a pale face, unable to move because of the pain.  

 If it was the former Xie Mu, this incomparably determined man would not show the slightest bit of weakness no matter how much pain he was in. He’s the type of person to ‘turn the other cheek’ before smiling and acting like nothing happened in order to avoid being looked down on by others.

But the current Xie Mu, because of the drug, his entire mind had been jumbled up. It seemed that he’d changed back to when he was a teenager, when even a little discomfort felt unbearable, not to mention this kind of heart-wrenching pain.

Almost every rainy day, Xie Mu would wake up in pain, before falling asleep with aching with exhaustion after being tortured for a whole day. Often, at this time, the object he sought for comfort was Xie Shi.

Xie Shi had never been treated like this before. His little uncle would take the initiative to dive into his arms, to kiss and seek comfort. Even if he was thinking of big brother, he didn’t care about being regarded as Xie Nanen. 

He didn’t care about his identity being mistaken since his name was just a code name, even if Uncle recognized the wrong person because of the medicine, as long as he treated him like this for a lifetime, Xie Shi could also pretend for a lifetime.

But the reality was that the more docile Xie Mu became, the more admiring his eyes were, and the more harmonious the relationship between the two was, the more Xie Shi’s heartstrings collapsed.

He cherished and guarded his little uncle and took care of him carefully, like an evil dragon guarding his treasure. No one could steal Xie Mu from him, and no one dared.

    However, Xie Mu’s body began to decline.

    He gradually lost his ability to recognize others. Except for Xie Shi, he couldn’t remember anyone else. When it rained, the man who previously was still able to draw with a smiling face was now completely unable to get out of bed, and his slender and beautiful fingertips could no longer hold a brush. Instead, he gripped the bed sheets or the quilt in torment, and his beautiful lips rarely spoke. 

  

    When Xie Mu’s pain was at its worst, he would even burst into tears, and the ache was so painful that he didn’t even have the strength to make a sound, so he could only lie on the bed and cry weakly.

    “Brother… I hurt so much, it hurts so much…”

  

    It was raining again today, and Xie Mu was woken up by pain early in the morning. His eyes were red again, aggrieved and suffering, “Why did my leg become like this, brother, I’m really uncomfortable…”

    Xie Shi skillfully stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his knee with the warmth of his palm, but even so, Xie Mu’s pain did not lessen.

  

    “Brother, give me medicine, I’m in pain…”
