Chapter 77: Fifth Night Part Twelve

Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.

The strip of cloth was tightly wrapped around his shoulders, the bleeding gradually stopped, and his whole body relaxed. Li Sinian’s expression also looked much better. Fang Daichuan was lying on his right, it is a very large double bed, yet they were huddled together in a small corner. But you can’t blame them. The bed was stained and soaked with blood and sweat. It is wet and sticky and they couldn’t lie down there.

Neither of them spoke, adjusting the rhythm of their breathing and pretending to be asleep. Fang Daichuan didn’t dare to look at Li Sinian. He was a little uncomfortable with the hot body temperature beside him, so he simply turned his head to look out the window at the dim rainy moon. Li Sinian rubbed the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, listening to the ticking of the brass clock.

The heartbeat was strong and fast, both knew that the other was not asleep, but after opening their mouths several times, they didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, however it is not the kind that made you want to get away from others but the opposite, a tacit mutual understanding hanging between them.

The rain was getting heavier outside.

Li Sinian lay down for a while, but couldn’t help it. He half-supported and sat up: “No, I’m going to take a shower.”

“Like hell you will! There is no hot water, you have a fever!” Fang Daichuan jump.

The two people that were pretending to be sleeping looked at each other, seeing the bloody corners of each other’s mouth, they looked away tacitly.

“You didn’t sleep…” Li Sinian asked knowingly.

—I would be able to sleep if you didn’t fucking rub your fingers. Fang Daichuan said in his heart.

Fang Daichuan scratched his hair: “I…I can’t sleep on a strange bed.”

——Yeah right, Li Sinian rolled his eyes. Last night I saw that you slept soundly.

“Is it a bit crowded… or I’ll move…” Li Sinian smiled.

“No, no!” Fang Daichuan raised his head hurriedly, “Just…let’s sleep like this…it’s fine…” Halfway through he saw the smile on Li Sinian’s mouth, feeling embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject, said, “I, I’m afraid you will have fever in the middle of the night, so that I can take care of you…”

“I want to take a bath, do you want to take care of me?” Li Sinian asked, pretending to be calm.

Fang Daichuan stammered: “Ah…how, how could I do that? I…”

“My hands are no good,” Li Sinian tilted his head and glanced at his left shoulder. “I can’t lift my left hand, and I can’t make it wet. You can help me hold the shower head.”

Fang Daichuan squeaking: “Ah… ok, ok…”

The island has lost electricity. The remaining hot water in the water heater was used up a few days ago. It has been raining for several days so the solar energy is not working. The two men went into the bathroom and turned the switch to the hottest position. The water was still cold.

Fang Daichuan raised the shower head and sprayed cold water on Li Sinian’s back to rinse off the blood. Li Sinian washed his hair with one hand, the hair is wet and curling.

There is a scar on Li Sinian’s back.

It’s a very long one, with a hideous sharp white edge. Fang Daichuan couldn’t hold back and touched it. Li Sinian winced.

He turned around and raised his eyebrows.

“What’s the story?” Fang Daichuan poked his back.

“It happened when I was a kid.” Li Sinian turned around and took a shower, not wanting to say more.

“What happened when you were a kid?” Fang Daichuan was curious and he had patience.

Li Sinian sighed, pressed the shower gel with one hand, spread it on his chest and rubbed bubbles all over his body.

“I was abducted and sold to a fraud organisation when I was a child. I ran away and got caught, from there on I stayed there.” He omitted the most important part and did not say what was happening or the specific circumstances.

Fang Daichuan didn’t know why but when he heard his calm words, his heart was heavy.

Li Sinian finished washing his back and rubbed the bubbles all over his front chest, and was a little hesitant to turn around. Fang Daichuan, however, was already lost in thought, staring at the scar on his back, his mind already turning to the scene of Li Sinian being beaten up by a group of adults.

Poor thing, so small.

In a trance, he put his entire palm on it. The back waist’s curve is deep and it fits nicely with his palm.

Li Sinian shook violently.

Feeling the combination of cold water and warm palms, he ignored the foam, turned around and squeezed Fang Daichuan’s wrist, his eyes narrowed like some kind of large feline, with some insatiable danger: “What that for?”

“No, I won’t do it,” Fang Daichuan swallowed, resisting the temptation decisively and shook his head, “You’re still hurt, I can’t take advantage of others!”

Li Sinian was happy and angry at the same time: “You may have misunderstood the word ‘taking advantage of others’ or misunderstood our position.” He kept his voice soft and said word by word in Fang Daichuan’s ear.

Fang Daichuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him and poked a finger on the edge of the white cloth wrapped around his left shoulder “Don’t be arrogant, brother is seeing you suffer from injuries and feels sorry for you, so now you have verbally upper hand.”

“Then brother, feel sorry for me again.” Li Sinian took a step back in order not to embarrass someone, lowered his head and kissed him.

After half an hour.

(T/N : Alright this one is not like the ‘after half a century’ so I guess they did take that long to take a bath…)

Lying on the bed, Li Sinian strained his ears to listen to the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Fang Daichuan was standing under the shower, taking a shower while rubbing his hands against his skin to combat the cold water. He had a wound on his shoulder and the gash he had made by banging on the door was still not fully healed. While repeatedly washing the energetic young brother with his left hand, he recalled the words “wash your ass” that he had used to scold Li Sinian and he suddenly felt a bit of unspeakable shame.

(T/N : Alright so again, swear words tend to get censored but well, I will tell you that yes, I purposely use ‘ass’ here. Also the energetic young brother [斗志昂扬的小兄弟,Dòuzhì ángyáng de xiǎo xiōngdì] are well, I am so tempted to use ‘standing high’ but I am sure you know what it means without me using standing part.)

The doorbell rang abruptly outside the door.

Li Sinian hesitated for a moment, picked up the knife on the table, carried it behind his back, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Du Wei stood lazily against the door frame, as if he had no bones, his cheeks were flushed and he reeked of alcohol: “Ding Zihui is dead, do you want to go and see?”

Li Sinian was startled.

“What? Who’s dead?” Fang Daichuan heard something from the bathroom. He casually wrapped a bathrobe without wiping his hair, opened the bathroom door and ran out.

He brings out the fragrance of body wash and the moisture of cold water.

Li Sinian turned his head: ” Du Wei came and said… Ding Zihui is dead.”

“Ding Zihui?” Fang Daichuan was dumbfounded, “Isn’t it Yang Song? Yang Song went to chase and kill Ding Zihui but was killed by Ding Zihui…”

“Yes, but Ding Zihui is also dead.” Du Wei’s voice didn’t fluctuate, as if he didn’t care who died and who lived, he just came to inform them, “I moved her body and Yang Song back, do you want to go down and see?”

Fang Daichuan wrapped his bathrobe tightly and went out the door.

Li Sinian sighed, took the keycard, but did not put down the knife.

“I told you that when women fight, men have no place for it…” Du Wei drank too much and was a little drunk, “Women fighting is really terrible. There is no compassion at all.”

Fang Daichuan didn’t like him very much, so he choked up when he heard the words, “I didn’t see you talk about compassion when you killed your father.”

Du Wei suddenly stopped when he heard the words, glanced back at him, with some mockery and coldness in his eyes: “You can preach about compassion because someone is protecting you.”

“He can talk about compassion because he has a clear conscience.” Li Sinian said coldly behind them.

Du Wei’s eyes wandered between the two of them, he snorted with a smirk, turned to go downstairs. Fang Daichuan stopped in place. Li Sinian passed him but was pulled by him.

Fang Daichuan tugged at the corner of Li Sinian’s clothes.

“Am I a dead weight? I…” Fang Daichuan felt bad. He remembered the syringe Li Sinian took for him, at that time he was afraid that Li Sinian would hurt Liu Xin, so he hurriedly tried to stop him, but he ended up seeing Li Sinian attacked by Liu Xin.

Even now he still has a fever, Fang Daichuan thought, if Li Sinian was alone, he would definitely lock the door and sleep, who cares who lives or dies. But because I was dragging him and I wanted to save others, caused him to go through a lot of pain and suffering.

“But I can’t change anything… They are all dead… I didn’t save anyone. Instead, I implicated you.” Fang Daichuan’s voice was low.

Li Sinian stopped.

He hadn’t slept all night, he had a fever and his eyes were bone-chillingly tired and cold, but when he looked back behind him, his voice was low and gentle, with certainty and determination: “If it weren’t for you, there would be no difference between me and Ding Zhui, or Yang Song, or Du Wei. The mechanism is all there is, and life and death are up to heaven.”

“You can’t save someone who is looking for death,” Li Sinian said every words wholeheartedly, “but Chuan’er-ge, you have saved me.”
