Chapter 36 New Boyfriend You're not really going to find a new boyfriend, are you?

Xu Zhijian stared at Chu Yuxuan intently, his patience reaching its limit. "If you can't do it right again, just quit medicine."

"Sorry." Chu Yuxuan said calmly: "I forgot to bring my glasses when I came here."

"I think you have no eyes."

He ignored me. I finally got the injection done and adjusted the drip rate. "It's done."

Haha, you really deserve to be scolded.

Just when he was about to tell him to get lost, Chu Yuxuan turned around and walked in front of Wen Nian.

Without saying anything, he took a pen and wrote her a note: "This is my home address. I will be back in Beijing in a few days. If you need anything, just come and see me."

Xu Zhijian: “?”

"Wait, what do I want to see you for?"

The nurse's jaw dropped in shock.

There’s melon!

Chu Yuxuan's hand was still there. Wen Nian blinked, also a little surprised.

He took it hesitantly: "Okay."

fine?

Xu Zhijian couldn't hold it in any longer and called out to her from behind, "Wen Nian!"

Wen Nian ignored her and smiled at Chu Yuxuan: "Then you can go and get busy first."

"Yeah." Before leaving, Chu Yuxuan touched her head, with a doting smile on his lips.

Xu Zhijian was stunned and almost jumped off the bed, shouting at his back: "What are you doing! Why are you touching my head? You are crazy!"

The nurse followed Chu Yuxuan away.

Wen Nian was also a little confused. It didn't seem like something someone as reserved as Chu Yuxuan would do.

He turned around and met Xu Zhijian's fiery eyes.

"Who is he?!" he asked in a questioning tone.

She was stunned for a moment, then sat back down and put the note into her bag in front of him. "My friend."

"What kind of friend wants to touch your head! And even asks you to go to his house! Do you have any sense of boundaries?"

This is probably the most he has spoken in recent days.

Wen Nian was already getting annoyed: "Oh, to be more specific, it's my neighbor's brother."

Xu Zhijian choked up, a sense of urgency rising in his heart, and he said stubbornly, "Even the neighbor's brother can't touch your head!"

"Why?" Wen Nian pretended not to understand: "Didn't you touch Li Yao's head before? You treat her as your sister, and he treats me as his sister too."

"..." He was speechless, trying to defend himself, "I was ignorant before, and I didn't touch you anymore. Besides, the way he looked at you wasn't innocent at all. How could it be the same?"

She said "oh" and didn't care: "Maybe he is not sensible now. Besides, look at Li Yao's eyes, they are not innocent."

"How am I not innocent? She's like this every time I see her." He imitated her on the spot, baring his teeth and pointing at himself: "Such authentic and kind fatherly love, how can it be the same?"

Wen Nian really didn't see any kindness in her.

Maybe it’s because Xu Zhijian was born with a pair of affectionate eyes, and he looks at dogs with affection.

Too lazy to argue with him about this, she shrugged and said, "Whatever you think." Then she said, "I've booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon. Take care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhijian immediately wilted, not caring about this potential rival who had suddenly appeared. He looked at her pitifully: "Can you please not leave?"

"cannot."

—

The next evening.

Xu Zhijian was discharged from the hospital early and boarded the plane with Wen Nian. He still had a bandage tied around his shoulder, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't move much.

The two of them sat next to each other.

The thought of the doctor's expression yesterday made Xu Zhijian feel uncomfortable all over. He asked anxiously, "...could the friend you had dinner with yesterday be that doctor?"

Wen Nian was wearing headphones, and when he asked the second time, she just nodded lightly.

Xu Zhijian's eyebrows jumped, and he grabbed her hand and said warily: "Wen Nian, you don't really want to find a new boyfriend, do you?"

The man's intuition told him that the doctor was definitely interested in her.

Wen Nian clicked his tongue, pulled his hand away, and looked at him with the idiot's eyes: "What does this have to do with you?"

"I don't agree!"

"ill."

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Xu Zhijian tried the soft approach and held her arm and shook her back and forth.

"Wen Nian, Nian Nian, baby."

The voice so close to me was delicate and charming, with the magnetism of an adult man, which could not be blocked even with headphones.

Wen Nian couldn't stand it any longer, so she pushed him away with a dark face: "Xu Zhijian! If you continue to act like a slut, I'll call for help!"

Be honest.

Xu Zhijian withdrew his hand, pouted his lips and browsed his phone, looking depressed as if there was a dark cloud over his head.

Coincidentally, Changjun posted in the group: [How is your pursuit of your girlfriend going?]

Xu Zhijian: [Don’t mention it, it’s hard to describe in a few words.]

Ping Weichen: [This is so funny! Even if you didn’t tell me, I could have guessed it.]

Xu Zhijian: [gun.]

Chang Jun: [Does the trick taught by netizens not work?]

Xu Zhijian: [This is a trick taught by netizens. If you keep doing this, the cucumber dish will be cold!]

He really couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't pretend anymore.

You have to rely on yourself.

All the way in silence.

As they were about to arrive at the station, Wen Nian received a voice message from Jiang Tan: "Bao, are you with Xu Zhijian now? He still has the company USB drive. Can you ask him for it?"

Wen Nian stared at the screen, a little confused.

Why does she feel that Xu Zhijian will be with her?

After thinking for a moment, he replied: [Of course I'm not with him, but I'm going back to Beijing today, so I can pick it up from him on the way.]

Jiang Tan: [That's fine. Thank you for your hard work.]

After turning off her phone, she turned around and asked Xu Zhijian.

He didn't care about anything. He held his forehead and recalled for a long time before he remembered: "Oh, it seems to be at my house. How about I pick it up and send it to you tomorrow?"

"No need, I'll go with you later." After what happened last time when he took the information into the lake, Wen Nian didn't trust him at all.

Xu Zhijian glanced at her meaningfully and said, "Come home with me, that's fine too."

The difference between this person pretending and not pretending was huge, even the tone of his voice was different. Wen Nian couldn't help but make an expression of extreme disgust.

—

It was already evening when we got off the plane.

This was Wen Nian's second time coming to Xu Zhijian's house, and her mentality was completely different from the first time.

"elder brother!"

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately leaned over and her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Wen Nian.

Xu Zhijian hummed and ignored her.

"Go upstairs and sit for a while. I don't remember where I put the USB drive. I'll look for it later."

Wen Nian followed him up to the second floor and happened to meet Xu Xiaoyu's gaze. Her eyes seemed to be expressing deep doubts to her.

Suddenly she remembered that she had once used Xu Zhijian's phone to send her a text message, advising her to stay away from Xu Zhijian.

Perhaps because she has no brothers or sisters, Wen Nian always feels particularly close to this kind of child, just like seeing a kitten, and her hands itch to rub it.

She smiled at her.

Xu Xiaoyu blinked and scratched his head.

Mmm, I’m so sweet that I’m dizzy.

After going upstairs, Wen Nian waited for Xu Zhijian to enter the room password.

I took a casual glance and found that it was different from last time.

I remember it was their birthday.

Pop.

The bedroom light was turned on.

I didn’t turn on the lights when I came here last time, and I found that Xu Zhijian’s room was bigger than I imagined, and it was equipped with a sofa and a TV.

The room was clean and tidy, with a faint fragrance that seemed to be gardenia.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll get you a glass of water."

Wen Nian said bluntly: "No, it looks like it's going to rain today, I want to take it and leave quickly."

"That's perfect—" Xu Zhijian spoke hastily, then realized he was wrong and made a complete about-face: "That's perfect... I haven't eaten yet, so why don't you eat at my house?"

"Need not."

"...Okay, I'll go find it now. You can sit wherever you want."

After he left, Wen Nian swept the room again.

When she saw some small items placed in the bookcase, her eyes were blank for a moment and she walked over.

No one should be more familiar with these things than her. At that time, there were many festivals to celebrate when dating, and she had to plan for a long time in advance every time she gave gifts.

In fact, the difference can be seen from this. Most of the things Xu Zhijian gave her were valuable items, but what she gave her were handicrafts. Although they were not worth much money, they also took a lot of effort.

Scarves, specimens, purses, amulets, and various small dolls.

I remember that at that time, she was always afraid that he would not cherish her.

I didn't expect that they are now lying neatly in the bookcase, on a separate floor belonging to them.

His gaze moved to the left and stopped on a book, and he was stunned for two seconds.

This is……

Most of the books on the bookshelf are famous books, but this one is a bit worn, as if it was a textbook for an elective course in college.

Wen Nian picked it up hesitantly.

The moment I opened it and saw the crooked little pattern, the memory popped into my mind.

I remember now.

During her sophomore year, Xu Zhijian took this elective course, which happened to be a time when she had no classes, so she went to accompany him. Usually, these classes were pretty boring, so she spent her free time drawing all sorts of pictures on his books and writing all sorts of random sentences.

Sometimes I would write down some insults for him and show it to him, and he would write down some insults back.

Their names occupy the largest space above.

When I flipped through the pages, I found that it was there on almost every page.

Wen Nian was so absorbed in watching that he didn't notice Xu Zhijian coming behind him.

"I've kept these things well."

The voice was close to her ears, and she turned around in shock. She was only a punch away from him, and when she looked up, she met those deep eyes.

Feeling a little guilty, Wen Nian didn't push it away immediately. Instead, he subconsciously stepped back, leaning his back against the bookshelf, and said hurriedly, "I didn't mean to look at it."

She was just a little curious.

Xu Zhijian moved closer and looked her up and down: "It's okay, you can look at my things as you like."

The soft voice accompanied by that charming face was truly captivating. Wen Nian felt as if she was burned by his body temperature and came to her senses, pushing him away.

The next second, he grabbed my wrist.

"What are you...doing?"

"Wen Nian." He called her softly, with a hint of pleading in his lowered eyes: "Can you give me a chance to pursue you again?"

Wen Nian was stunned, and her long eyelashes trembled.

Dark clouds approached quietly outside the window, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

She heard his heart beating very fast, again and again, just like her own heartbeat back then.

His voice suddenly became hoarse: "I can't change the past, but I can decide the future. I will compensate you for all the harm I have done to you."

"Wen Nian, I don't want to lose you, I really don't want to... In this world, you are the only one who loves me."

In this world, she is the only one who loves him...

Wen Nian stared at him blankly, a little surprised.

This was the first time she saw Xu Zhijian cry.

It turns out that it only takes a few words.

After a long while, she pulled her hand back and didn't look at him: "Why...are you...so sudden?"

"I don't know either." Xu Zhijian chuckled softly and wiped away the tears from his eyes. "Maybe that sentence was too devastating to me."

"You haven't answered me yet?"

"What?"

"Chasing you."

Wen Nian said nothing.

Xu Zhijian lowered his eyes, hiding the disappointment in his eyes: "Okay, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer it for now."
