38 Chapter 38

◎ "Instead of looking for others, why not look for me?"◎

When Yang Xueyi was in college, she loved watching romance shows. Every time she saw people crying and claiming they wanted to break up with their ex, but ended up sleeping with them again for unknown reasons, she found it hard to understand.

I never imagined that I would become one of them a few years later.

What made her feel like the sky was falling was the realization that she was actually a pervert with no self-control...

She should have cut off all ties with Ying Yun, but she was possessed by the devil and repeated the same mistake as the night before with Ying Yun.

Until this moment, the aching roots of her legs, the waist with finger marks and the arms that were so tired that she could hardly lift them kept reminding her that last night's madness was not a dream.

She didn't understand how things had developed to this point.

Obviously she didn't mean that at first last night.

After being asked that question by Ying Yun, Yang Xueyi was confused for a moment, and then she was overwhelmed with shame and anger. She wanted to loudly rebuke Ying Yun for his misunderstanding of her and tell him that she didn't have that idea at all.

However, Ying Yun's next words made Yang Xueyi feel dizzy, as if she was walking on the street and suddenly got hit by a stranger.

"Yang Xueyi, I didn't confess."

Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment: "You didn't deny it, and you threw the flowers away in anger?"

"Because you think too badly of me."

"I wouldn't do that to you last night and then confess my feelings to someone else the next day."

Ying Yun's voice was flat, emotionless. He looked away, but what he said sounded like an accusation: "Am I so bad in your eyes? Can't you think anything good about me?"

Didn’t you confess to others?

Yang Xueyi's heartbeat couldn't be suppressed and became faster. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Where are the flowers?"

"I bought these flowers casually; they were on sale. I was planning to keep them at home, but I didn't expect you to say that. They're a bit wilted now, and the quality is average. And you hate people giving you flowers, so I just threw them away."

"Oh..." Yang Xueyi cleared her throat, feeling a little awkward. "Actually, I don't dislike flowers that much. It's just that they're a little wilted. I don't accept wilted flowers. They have to be the freshest, the kind that's just flown in. I guess those are just okay."

Not wanting Ying Yun to notice that she cared, Yang Xueyi started to make up a story: "I just couldn't sleep and was a little irritable, so maybe I was in a bad mood. Insomnia is also a disease, don't you understand? I'm a patient, why are you, a normal person, arguing with me? Couldn't you explain it properly just now? It's your own fault that I was misunderstood!"

Instead of reflecting on herself, she blamed others. Yang Xueyi shouted, "Ying Yun, this is definitely your problem!"

However, unexpectedly, Ying Yun not only did not refute, but only said "hmm" softly, and his look was actually somewhat submissive.

Yang Xueyi felt a little relieved.

In fact, she was still a little bothered. For example, Qiao Qianqian saw who the girl was who took the flowers from Ying Yun after he bought them. But it was really inconvenient to get to the bottom of it. She could only think sourly that Ying Yun had such a bad mouth, but it turned out he had friends of the opposite sex.

Just as she was about to hide her embarrassment and turn back to her room, Ying Yun grabbed her again——

"Yang Xueyi, you haven't answered my question yet."

Hmm? What's the problem?

"I asked you in the elevator."

Ying Yun's expression looked a little unnatural, but what he said was very serious -

"I looked up some literature today, and there's some academic evidence that sex can treat insomnia. Indeed, a large number of adults experience better sleep after having sex, and the results are even better than sleeping pills. Sex has a certain effect on regulating the secretion of dopamine and endorphins, promoting blood circulation, relieving stress, and improving hormone levels."

At this moment the next day, Yang Xueyi still remembered Ying Yun's calm expression. His voice was low and calm: "Yang Xueyi, you are right."

As if embarrassed by having his prejudice refuted, Ying Yun quickly looked away: "So, sex as a treatment for insomnia isn't pure pseudoscience; it does have some theoretical support."

"It's just that there's a lack of systematic clinical data, and it can easily be packaged as a treatment plan by people with ulterior motives to deceive people."

…

Ying Yun's voice was very rational and his expression was neutral and objective, but what he said made Yang Xueyi think for a moment that she was hallucinating.

He is such a serious and responsible medical graduate. He would actually look up literature and show a diligent attitude even for such a matter. No wonder he could become an attending physician at such a young age.

So when Ying Yun asked that question, it wasn't sarcasm, but a literal meaning?

"So what you're saying is... if I can't sleep, you'll sleep with me?"

"Hmm." Ying Yun kept a straight face, lowered his gaze, and rigorously refined the definition. "It can also be considered as accompanying you in exploring treatments for insomnia."

"I'm a doctor. At least in this respect, I'm more professional than ordinary people. I can also consider things from your perspective."

"Of course, you only had one sample experiment before. It's possible that if you try it a few more times and find that sex doesn't help your insomnia, it's just a placebo. If it's ineffective in the long run, then stop immediately and try another method. I'll accompany you."

"So, Yang Xueyi, if you're suffering from insomnia and still want to try, if you want to find someone, instead of looking for someone else, you can look for me. I'm clean, I won't do anything wrong, and I'm also a doctor."

Ying Yun lowered his head, and Yang Xueyi couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice was very calm, and he really seemed to want to lend a helping hand to Yang Xueyi: "Helping you once is helping you. Now that I've helped you, I might as well help you to the end."

"Anyway, I'm single now, and so are you."

"If you must do this, I think Aunt Yang would feel more at ease if I came."

I don’t know if it was because it was too late last night and Yang Xueyi was too sleepy so her thinking became slow, or if it was because Ying Yun was really good at speaking and too persuasive, but in any case, Yang Xueyi didn’t realize there was any problem at the time.

After calming down the next day, Yang Xueyi realized the logical flaw.

No...Ying Yun has slept with her, how can Ms. Yang Meiying feel at ease?

Yang Xueyi believed that Yang Meiying had indeed told Ying Yun to take care of himself, but she didn't think she wanted him to take care of him in bed...

However, last night, Yang Xueyi was pushed against the door by Ying Yun, with her coat full of his scent on her body. She was so dizzy that she had no time to think.

She is like a tyrant who is obsessed with sex and tastes the marrow.

"I've read interviews with several insomnia patients. They're in so much pain. Long-term insomnia can lead to depression. Yang Xueyi, I now understand how insomniacs feel. I'm a doctor, and I can't just stand by and watch them die."

Ying Yun was too close to her, his nose almost touching hers, and what he said made a lot of sense: "We're already like this anyway."

"So you still can't sleep tonight?"

Anyway, Ying Yun is still single and is currently behaving himself.

She had always liked Ying Yun, and her heart was in a mess and she was shocked before. But now, looking at Ying Yun in front of her, she actually felt as if she had lost something and then found it again, and she seemed to cherish him a little more.

Although she knew it was inappropriate, when Ying Yun leaned over and kissed her, Yang Xueyi's hands spontaneously wrapped around his neck and responded to his kiss.

She lowered her voice and decided to follow her inner rare lack of restraint: "Well, I can't sleep yet."

Ying Yun also replied softly, "I know."

Then Yang Xueyi felt his hand holding her waist.

Her pajamas revealed a small part of her waist as Yang Xueyi raised her feet to return the kiss. Ying Yun gently touched the skin on Yang Xueyi's waist with his thumb: "Why are your pajamas so short? Are you cold?"

Although he asked Yang Xueyi if she was cold, Ying Yun put his even colder hand in.

The instigator kindly explained, "It will get hot after a while."

Yang Xueyi's lips were very close to Ying Yun's. Ying Yun pushed her against the door, and she soon began to gasp because of the sudden invasion of cold air.

I don’t know who started it, but when Yang Xueyi reacted, she was already licking Ying Yun’s lips like licking ice cream.

Ying Yun's breathing also became unstable.

Then Yang Xueyi heard the sound of Ying Yun unbuckled his belt.

Ying Yun spoke in a very gentle manner, but when it came to that point, he was not that gentle. Yang Xueyi discovered last time that Ying Yun actually had a strong desire for control.

She didn't dislike him, but Ying Yun was too energetic and his hardware was really extraordinary. Yang Xueyi was very tired in the end, so even her rejection was so soft that Ying Yun interpreted it as playing hard to get.

Ying Yun held her waist down, feeling the force of his hips thrusting forward.

Like a small boat about to be broken apart in a storm, he passively endured Ying Yun's kind treatment.

However, the treatment effect was indeed excellent, and Yang Xueyi did not suffer from insomnia again that night.

She slept better than the night before.

Because of the early shift, Ying Yun left early the next day in high spirits, but Yang Xueyi felt someone put her exposed shoulder back into the quilt in a daze.

Yang Xueyi probably really hoped that Ying Yun would like her, so she had a beautiful dream - after covering herself with the quilt, Ying Yun kissed her cheek before leaving.

In short, Yang Xueyi stayed in bed for another ten minutes before getting up reluctantly.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't checked her phone since last night, but fortunately she didn't miss any work messages.

It was at this time that Yang Xueyi realized that perhaps because of the poor signal, several of her messages had not been sent out.

Fortunately, Ying Yun dropped his phone last night, so he probably didn’t see it.

Because of the two thousand yuan that Yang Xueyi transferred to him, he has not received the money yet and has not replied to him.

Fortunately, his phone was broken and he didn't see it, otherwise Yang Xueyi would have felt embarrassed. After all, she had righteously stated yesterday that she and Ying Yun were not compatible and wanted to find someone else to shoot the Vlog, but they slept together at night. It was really a slap in the face.

Since this is God's will, not receiving it is the best option.

She and Ying Yun were already in this situation, and Ying Yun was indeed still single, so there was nothing wrong with shooting a couple Vlog. Yang Xueyi decided to pretend that nothing had happened and not send any messages. Even if Ying Yun asked, she would lie and say it was nothing important.

She thought about it and felt that she had indeed been impulsive before, so why should she give Ying Yun two thousand yuan!

Fortunately, his phone was broken and he didn't receive the money, so the money was automatically returned to Yang Xueyi's account.

In the afternoon, when Yang Xueyi was reading the original medical journal, she received a message from Ying Yun.

First, ask her how she slept.

Yang Xueyi was interrupted by a phone call and forgot to reply. A few hours later, Ying Yun sent her a new message, telling her that he had a department party tonight and would not be able to return home before 11 o'clock.

Apart from that, there was no intention to ask what message she sent yesterday.

Yang Xueyi was unhappy again.

But come to think of it, I'm not the person Ying Yun likes, so I wouldn't get so anxious and ask him questions just because he missed a few messages.

He didn't care much about what Yang Xueyi said.

Perhaps asking her how she slept was mostly motivated by this original intention - if Yang Xueyi didn't sleep well either, it would mean that it varies from person to person, and sex life actually doesn't help with insomnia, then Ying Yun could quit his current job.

Telling himself that there would be a dinner party in the evening was more of a precautionary measure, a subtle hint and rejection, to prevent Yang Xueyi from dragging Ying Yun to do something else tonight.

Having inexplicably begun such an ambiguous relationship with Ying Yun, Yang Xueyi, though feigning a carefree attitude, felt completely insecure. She wished she could force Ying Yun to sign a contract with a hundred specific precautions. It would be best if anything that could upset Yang Xueyi was explicitly prohibited in the contract.

But she really didn't want to be looked down upon by Ying Yun, so Yang Xueyi decided to pretend to be at ease and learn to be a mature adult.

But thinking back to last night, Yang Xueyi's ears started burning, and she couldn't calm down anymore. Her mind was in a mess again.

Because of distraction, time passed quickly. Yang Xueyi raised her hand and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Ying Yun didn't know if he was afraid of embarrassment and wanted to avoid Yang Xueyi. He claimed that he went to a dinner party in the evening and didn't say anything else, but he really didn't go home.

As long as Ying Yun thought about it, he was actually a person who could be very polite. Asking him how he slept was probably just a routine procedure like a service follow-up. If Yang Xueyi was sensible, she should tacitly reply that it was not bad and end the process.

But Yang Xueyi felt a little unbalanced. How could she be the only one whose emotions were affected? Ying Yun, on the other hand, was having a leisurely dinner outside!

She frowned slightly, picked up her phone, and angrily responded to Yun's previous question: "I slept very well. It seems to be very effective for me. I should stick to it for a long time."

Yang Xueyi didn't know what was wrong with her. Maybe she was a little pretentious. She was definitely not considerate, so she chose to deviate from the procedure and embarrass Ying Yun, deliberately throwing him a difficult problem.

[I can’t sleep again now.]

【What should I do, Ying Yun? 】

**

Last night, on his way home, Ying Yun secretly swore in the car that he would stay as far away from Yang Xueyi as possible. He even planned to ask Yu Shi to find out tomorrow if the previous house was still available.

After saying goodbye to Meng Chengyun, he walked around the lakeside avenue on Binjiang Road. Looking at the rippling water in the night, Ying Yun felt very complicated.

He doesn't want to go home.

He probably wouldn't be in a good mood if he saw Yang Xueyi; but if he didn't see Yang Xueyi, Ying Yun suspected he wouldn't be happy either.

She sent that kind of message, and she always acts rashly and impulsively, doing whatever she wants. It is very likely that she is already looking for another man at this moment.

He had sacrificed his life to help Yang Xueyi once before, but he didn't expect to fail in the end. Ying Yun didn't know what to do.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache, so he pursed his lips, got in the car and decided to go home.

But no one knew what happened. After driving for a while, Ying Yun inexplicably ended up on the road to the most famous bar and nightclub nearby.

At the entrance of the nightclub, groups of young men and women were chatting with each other and starting their colorful nightlife. Ying Yun was not very familiar with this area and always took the wrong turn on the roundabout. He had to go around three times before driving out of the bar street.

The bar street had become very lively, but Ying Yun did not see Yang Xueyi coming in or out in three rounds.

But on second thought, with a girl like Yang Xueyi, she only needs to stand at the door of the nightclub for a second and make her intentions known, and there will be plenty of people rushing to take her away.

So when Ying Yun returned home, he was a little surprised to find Yang Xueyi at home.

But this happiness did not last long.

Because after meeting Yang Xueyi, Ying Yun discovered that he was not a firm person after all, and the oaths and principles he had made not long ago quickly disappeared.

Yang Xueyi was wearing his coat, with disheveled hair, looking lazy and sexy. She had probably just crawled out of bed, her cheeks slightly flushed from the heat, and her eyes were filled with tears from yawning, making Ying Yun not know where to look to be safe.

She didn't go out tonight and stayed at home, but Ying Yun couldn't watch her 24 hours a day, and she was always caught off guard.

The light in the basement is broken, and it's not safe so late. If there are drunk people wandering around, it would be very bad if they get into a conflict with Yang Xueyi. Yang Xueyi has such a loud voice, and it would be easy to disturb others if they quarrel.

Ying Yun didn't want to pay attention to Yang Xueyi at first, but when he thought about it, if an accident happened, Aunt Yang would definitely hold him accountable, so he could only choose to go downstairs immediately without saying a word.

He gave his coat to Yang Xueyi, and before he had time to find a new coat, he was blown by the cold wind in the basement. It was probably because of this that the cold wind went into his head and he made such an outrageous request.

Fortunately, even though Ying Yun's brain was accidentally damaged by the cold wind, his foundation was still good. At least he knew how to maintain his dignity as a human being. He cleverly lied about the message sent by Yang Xueyi, claiming that his phone was broken and he did not receive any message.

Yang Xueyi didn't suspect anything.

Ying Yun's lies became more and more fluent.

He hadn't realized before that he actually had good eloquence and even a talent for sales. Even if he didn't become a doctor, he probably wouldn't be unemployed because Yang Xueyi's thinking was completely led by him.

Thanks to Dr. Ying Yun's professional support, Yang Xueyi had no doubts. In addition, what Ying Yun said made sense. Yang Xueyi changed her impulsive decision without any principles and acquiesced to Ying Yun's behavior.

Naturally, Yang Xueyi had clearly sent a message to inform him that they were not compatible and that she had decided to end their relationship. She even gave him two thousand yuan to get rid of him. However, Ying Yun still pretended not to receive it and packaged and promoted himself, rushing to offer himself for her. It sounded really cheap, even like he was a masochist.

But he couldn't help it.

Compared to Yang Xueyi going to find someone else, this seems to make him less worried. After all, Yang Xueyi has always been a troublemaker, and he has been used to it for the past ten years.

Faced with the second chance given by Yang Xueyi, although Ying Yun was reluctant to admit it, he knew that he had to take it seriously.

After all, he is a person who wants to do his best in everything he does, so even in bed, he strives to do his best.

This has always been my consistent principle, nothing more.

Recalling Yang Xueyi's slightly open lips, soft waist, arched body, wet hair sticking to her chest, and the way she couldn't even utter complete words last night, Ying Yun objectively believed that Yang Xueyi would not be able to make any inappropriate comments about last night.

When he got up, Yang Xueyi was still sleeping, her face buried in the soft pillow, looking carefree, which made Ying Yun feel that his hard work for two nights was effective.

Although annoying most of the time, Yang Xueyi does seem very well-behaved when she's asleep.

Ying Yun remembered how Roy used to sleep beside him when he was a child, and he couldn't help but kiss Yang Xueyi on the face just like he kissed Roy before.

During lunch break, he sent a random message to Yang Xueyi, but she didn't reply, probably still sleeping.

But when it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Yang Xueyi still hadn't sent him any message.

Fortunately, the only thing to be thankful for was that she didn't mention those nonsense about changing someone last night.

"Ying Yun, don't forget the department dinner tonight! We finally took advantage of the opportunity of a few new doctors rotating in to extort money from our director! No one can be left out! Everyone must attend!"

Yu Shi's voice brought Ying Yun back to his senses. He was stunned and really forgot about the dinner party in the evening.

After thinking about it, he picked up his phone and sent Yang Xueyi his evening schedule.

He actually regretted it right after posting it. It was just like a man reporting his itinerary to his girlfriend.

There's no need to go into so much detail.

But it’s all sent out.

"Ying Yun, whose message are you waiting for? Why have you checked your phone five times in ten minutes?"

Ying Yun pursed his lips and turned off the phone screen: "No."

But until Ying Yun’s department dinner started, Yang Xueyi didn’t respond.

It was a rare and long-awaited dinner for the whole department, and the atmosphere was very lively. The new young rotating doctors were very capable. As a senior, Yu Shi was praised so much that he was dizzy and drank several glasses of wine. By the end of the dinner, he was almost drunk and unconscious.

The rotating doctor also offered a toast to Ying Yun, but Ying Yun declined: "I have to take Yu Shi home tonight."

Although Yu Shi was drunk and lost in thought, he still boasted: "See! What is a friend? This is a friend!"

Yu Shi said proudly, "Every time I finish drinking, Ying Yun always takes me home. Once, Ying Yun even canceled a date just to take me home!"

The rotating doctor was surprised: "Really, Dr. Ying?"

It is indeed true.

Just as Ying Yun was about to answer, his phone received a new reminder. He finally received Yang Xueyi's message.

…

In the brief silence when Ying Yun was looking at his phone, Yu Shi rushed to answer -

"Of course it's true! His family arranged a blind date for him, but Ying Yun declined out of consideration for me who was drunk! In Ying Yun's dictionary, I am a priority. He would never abandon me for anything..."

"To be honest, Ying Yun is so nice to me that I'm worried that he might have a crush on me..."

Yu Shi became more and more proud as he spoke, and wanted to continue to speak, but was poked by the rotating doctor beside him: "Brother Yu, Doctor Ying just got up and left..."

Yu Shi looked up and found that Ying Yun was really gone!

He got anxious and started texting Ying Yun: [Ying Yun, weren't you going to take me home? Why did you leave first?!]

A moment later, Yu Shi received Ying Yun's reply——

【I won't send you off. I have something urgent to do.】

[Also, I'm not attracted to you. Don't worry.]

Yu Shi: “…”

**

After Yang Xueyi sent the message to Ying Yun, she actually didn't expect Ying Yun to reply.

Of course, Ying Yun would not abandon the scheduled dinner and run back just for her few words. She just liked to make Ying Yun unhappy.

I don’t know why I find it annoying to watch Ying Yun play a decent person.

Yang Xueyi felt that she had some problems, and was a bit mean, just like the kind of street urchin who wandered around the village and saw a dog on the side of the road, which was obviously lying quietly, but she had to "snap snap snap" and provoke it.

However, although she was a little naughty, she didn't expect Ying Yun to say anything in return. Besides, even if she continued to suffer from insomnia tonight, Yang Xueyi had no plans to do anything with Ying Yun.

She wasn't crazy, she wasn't a mule that could work non-stop all day, and her back and waist were already aching after working for two days.

Fortunately, I don’t know if it was because my insomnia really improved, but after reading the medical translation terms for a while, Yang Xueyi was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.

Maybe I won’t have insomnia tonight.

But she had just finished taking a shower and sat on the bed. Before she had time to lie down under the quilt, she heard the sound of a door opening outside the room - the noise was very loud, as if someone was in a hurry to come in.

Ying Yun? But didn’t Ying Yun say he couldn’t be home before eleven?

It's only ten o'clock.

Yang Xueyi became a little alert.

Just as she stood up and was about to check, she heard someone in the living room walking quickly towards her room.

A moment later, Yang Xueyi's door was opened and the cold wind from outside rushed in, causing Yang Xueyi to shrink her neck.

Then she saw who it was.

Ying Yun was exhausted and didn't even turn on the lights in the living room. He was standing at the door of his room. The dim light from the night light in Yang Xueyi's room cast an elusive shadow on him.

Ying Yun's handsome face was completely hidden in the shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Before Yang Xueyi could speak, Ying Yun took a step forward, glanced at her, and approached her. He said in a low voice, "Yang Xueyi, are you done with your shower?"

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ying Yun's voice sounded like he had just run back, with a slight gasp from the exercise: "I've done my best."

Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Ying Yun had misunderstood in a strange way...

He seemed to really think that what she said was true...

However, before she could explain, Ying Yun had already stroked her cheek, then pulled Yang Xueyi towards him, hugged her waist, and leaned down to give Yang Xueyi a kiss.

"I'll take a quick shower."

He whispered in a voice that was distorted by the sexiness in the night: "Be patient. Wait a moment."

"You don't have to lose sleep tonight."

Ying Yun: You're having insomnia again tonight.

Yang Xueyi: No!!!

Ying Yun (midnight surprise): Look, you still have insomnia, don't be stubborn, listen to the doctor, I am the doctor
