Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Don’t Overthink It

Zou Yi tucked Zhou Hengguang in and turned to get him a gla.s.s of water; however, he was halted as Zhou Hengguang grabbed his wrist.

“What’s wrong, Big Brother?” Zhou Yi, worried, squatted down again. “Do you have something to tell me?”

Zhou Hengguang’s eyes, slightly squinted, slowly opened, revealing a clear yet distant look, tinged with a hint of confusion. The high fever made his breathing gradually heavy, “Ah Yi, do you think it’s my fate that everyone will leave me eventually?”

Zhou Hengguang’s voice was deep and hoa.r.s.e. The shadow cast by the light accentuated his dense eyelashes, like crow feathers, and his high nose bridge, making his figure exude an indescribable sadness.

Zou Yi had never seen this side of Zhou Hengguang, his Big Brother like this.

“No, Big Brother, don’t overthink it,” Zou Yi said, stifling the uneasy premonition that raced in his heart, his voice soothing.

“Be good, rest for now, I’ll call the family doctor over.”

It had always been a custom since childhood that wherever Zhou Hengguang stayed, his family doctor would never be far away. This practice had been maintained for many years, no matter the location.

Zou Yi, although he had not returned from abroad for several years and had just arrived in Province, thought that the family doctor must not be far away.

After calling the Zhou family, he got the family doctor’s number and immediately called.

After waiting for about half an hour, the family doctor arrived with a medical box. He took temperatures and administered IV fluids, bustling around until dawn, exhausted, and then he left.

Before leaving, he gave many instructions and particularly scolded Zou Yi. He initially wanted to reprimand Zhou Hengguang himself, but seeing how pale his face was, he held back and ultimately remained silent, though

he would definitely complain about this when he got back.

So Zou Yi stayed by his bedside until dawn, and after the IV was done, he collapsed and fell asleep beside the bed.

Zhou Hengguang opened his eyes and saw Zou Yi by his bed, a faint smile appearing on his pale and handsome face.

He patted him and said, “Get up, hurry back to your room and sleep. Don’t stay here.”

Zou Yi suddenly sprang up. He rubbed his somewhat messy hair, gave a helpless look, chuckled bitterly, “Where are you going? How can you go out in this condition? Leave everything to me, get some sleep, rest well and recover. Even the most important work isn’t as important as your health.”

“Ah Yi, you’ve really grown more sensible now,” Zhou Hengguang said as he threw off the covers and got out of bed. His wide silk nightgown hung loosely on his thin frame, giving him a fragile appearance.

Zou Yi watched, his eyes involuntarily moistening.

How had Big Brother changed so much in just three short years of his absence? If he had known, he would never have left, leaving Big Brother alone here, not knowing how he’d cope, not knowing if anyone cared for him—it was truly heartbreaking.

“What are you looking at? Why are you staring at me like that?” Zhou Hengguang said, irritated, “How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child, always teary-eyed? To think you’re supposed to be the ‘master thief’ that people fear, who would believe that?”

“Big Brother,” Zou Yi said, his face flushing as he mentioned the past, “I’m not a ‘master thief’ anymore; I’m a renowned architect now.”

After joking around, Zou Yi couldn’t help but ask again, “Big Brother, do you really need to go on a business trip to the countryside tomorrow? The conditions there are so poor, how can your body handle it?”
