Chapter 305: 305, Do I have it (4)_1
Jian Luo turned his head with difficulty, his eyes met with a pair of deep blue ones. The man’s haggard handsome face surprised him for a moment.
His hair was a mess, a bluish stubble shone on his face, his eyes were bloodshot and his dark circles were practically as pronounced as a panda’s.
Why did he look so disheveled?
“Luo Xiaobai, are you not feeling well?”
Seeing him remain silent, the excitement on Black Jack’s face faded away, his eyes anxiously fixed on him.
“Hold on, I’ll go find Bai Jue.”
“Black Jack!” Jian Luo struggled to raise his hand, grabbing at his wrist.
His voice was faint, but it made Black Jack’s eyes well up with tears.
Hearing him call his name felt so incredibly good.
He turned to him and gripped his hand. He opened his mouth to speak, but found himself at a loss for words.
“I’m, I’m alright.”
From his expression alone, Jian Luo knew what he was thinking, and he tried to reassure him in his hoarse voice.
“Idiot, who told you to take a bullet for me? If you dare to do something this dangerous again, I’ll throw you into the sea myself to feed the sharks,” Black Jack threatened him viciously.
Jian Luo gave a small smile, changing the subject, “I want some water.”
Black Jack adjusted the hospital bed to a higher position, he carefully supported him, “Take it slow, don’t strain your wound on your back.”
Only then did Jian Luo remember about the bullet wound on his back.
Raising his hand slightly, a pain shot across his back which made him furrow his brows.
“Come, take it slow.”
Black Jack poured a glass of water and held the straw to his lips.
After not taking in any fluids for days, he quickly drained the glass of water.
The burn in his throat slightly retreated and Jian Luo leaned back into his bed.
The room fell into an awkward silence, making the atmosphere rather strange.
“Yo, you’re awake!”
Bai Jue’s voice broke the silence between them. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“Come and check on him,” urged Black Jack.
With his hands in his pockets, Bai Jue casually strolled over.
“What’s the rush? He is awake after all.”
Despite his complaints, Bai Jue examined Jian Luo diligently.
“There’s no major issue now, the bullet wound on your back will heal in a few days.”
He pulled up a chair to sit down, his gaze shifting between the two of them, clearly aiming to stay around.
“Jian Luo, are you hungry?”
Hearing Bai Jue’s words, Jian Luo was taken aback, and then nodded in agreement.
Bai Jue let out a satisfied chuckle, before looking at Black Jack, “He can only have porridge for now, you go prepare it.”
A shadow passed over Black Jack’s blue eyes, then he turned around and left the room.
Once the door was closed, Jian Luo finally relaxed.
Bai Jue noticed his reaction and tried to tease him with a smile.
“What, are you afraid of seeing Black Jack now?”
Jian Luo murmured softly, “Who’s afraid?”
He was just unsure how to deal with Black Jack now.
“Really?” Bai Jue was clearly skeptical.
After a while, Jian Luo lifted his head, an unnatural expression passing across his face, “Cough, Bai Jue, may I ask you something?”
Bai Jue replied, “You have my ears.”
“Did you, did you already know…” Jian Luo began to speak but found himself unable to continue.
Bai Jue was getting annoyed by his hesitation and decided to finish his sentence for him, “Do you want to ask if I knew Black Jack had feelings for you all along?”
He was usually so decisive when letting him take the blame, such a pussyfooter now.
Jian Luo stared at him, “Did you really know?”
Bai Jue laughed out loud, looking at him as if he was an idiot, “Jian Luo, everyone knows that Black Jack is in love with you, everyone but you. You are still stubbornly trying to pair him with someone else.”
Who would look after someone so tenderly as if he were his own child, if not someone in love. All because he was afraid he would get hurt.
The name Luo Xiaobai was really fitting for him, he was a total novice when it came to feelings.
Hearing those words, Jian Luo lowered his head without uttering a word.
“Jian Luo, think about it, ever since we were kids, hasn’t Black Jack always been the most protective of you? If he found something good, he would always bring it to you. All these years, have you ever seen any women around Black Jack? Don’t you feel that his attitude towards you is different?” Bai Jue tried his best to act as a love guru.
Listening to him, Jian Luo pondered, indeed he had never noticed any women around Black Jack, even during social events, he never took any woman as his companion.
He had always thought Black Jack was a relationship neat freak, that’s why he didn’t casually date. He never thought that the person Black Jack actually loved was him.
Bai Jue glanced at him and continued, “Black Jack has spent these last few days taking care of you non-stop. If something were to happen to you, I bet he’s ready to die for love.”
Jian Luo’s face turned pale, a blush crept up his cheeks. He glared at him, “Get out.”
What love suicide.
Talking nonsense.
“It’s the truth,” Bai Jue shrugged.
After joking around, he returned to the main topic.
“Seriously, what’re you gonna do about you and Black Jack next?”
Jian Luo shook his head, “How would I know?”
“Don’t you like him?” Bai Jue bluntly asked.
Jian Luo hesitated and then fell silent.
Bai Jue stroked his chin, his eyes flashed, “Let me put it this way, when you found out that Black Jack was in love with you, did you feel disgusted?”
Changing from a brotherly relationship to a romantic one indeed posed some difficulty.
But there was always a way.
After a while, Jian Luo shook his head.
When he heard from Bryce that Black Jack liked him, he was indeed shocked, but he didn’t feel disgusted.
Bai Jue cracked a smile, and said pensively, “Jian Luo, have you ever noticed, ever since you were a child, you’ve always enjoyed staying close to Black Jack? When you saw Black Jack playing with other friends, you looked like you just lost your favorite toy.”
“Did I?” Jian Luo stubbornly refused to admit it.
Although deep down he knew Bai Jue spoke the truth.
However, he had always thought that his dependence on Black Jack was due to him helping him deal with autism.
