Chapter 3 Allergies
Anmi slept very soundly.
When I woke up, my mind was blank for a moment.
She looked around at her surroundings.
The sheets are white, the walls are white, the ceiling is white... If the room's owner isn't a severe germaphobe, then there's only one possibility left.
Anmi glanced at the IV needle on the back of her hand.
Why are they doing this in her hospital ward?!
Didn't she take the antidote?
"Awake?" came a voice from the corner.
Anmi then noticed that there were other people in the room.
Turning my head, my consciousness slowly began to load.
It turned out to be the man she had borrowed from the men's restroom last night.
"Hello."
She had originally intended to ask, "Why are you here?" but then she thought it would be better to greet her first.
The man stood up from the stool, put his hands in his pockets, walked to the bedside, and said, "Hello."
The two of them were very polite to each other.
Anmi raised her hand with the IV needle in it: "What happened to me?"
The other party explained to her, "After you took that pill, you slept for a whole day and night without waking up. When you were brought to the hospital for examination, we found out that you were allergic to one of the ingredients. However, after being diluted with an IV, you are now out of danger and there is no need to worry."
He said with a hint of apology, "It was all my oversight."
So it was that capsule. Anmi shook her head: "It's okay, you were just trying to help me."
Besides, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and even slept for a long time, which made her feel more relaxed.
If you look at it that way, he actually helped me one more time.
"Thanks!"
The man looked into her eyes: "You're welcome."
He pulled up the chair behind him.
"Now that you're awake, I think it's necessary for us to talk about what happened last night."
The man sat down in the chair, his long legs casually crossed in front of him. His trouser legs were pulled up, revealing his ankles encased in black stockings, exuding a refined sexiness.
Should we talk? Anmi wondered to herself.
Could it be that they're planning to settle scores later?
"It was my fault for offending you last night!"
Her main strength lies in being flexible and adaptable.
"I'll apologize to you however you wish!"
The other person listened quietly until she finished speaking, then nodded: "You're right."
“I was indeed hurt last night.”
Anmi's heart skipped a beat.
Why is he acting all wronged...?
The man said in a heavy tone, "I've never had intimate contact with a woman before; last night was my first time."
"...?"
Anmi suddenly felt as if she had committed a terrible crime that could lead to death.
"Well... I'm really sorry."
The man lowered his eyelids, his thick eyelashes settling on either side of his nose.
“But I understand that your situation last night was urgent.”
How thoughtful!
Anmi quickly bowed: "Thank you for your understanding."
“However…” he then changed the subject.
Anmi looked up at him with trepidation.
"Since I helped you once, to be fair, you should repay me once."
One more time?
Anmi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it wasn't about money.
She quickly agreed, "Of course, just call me anytime if you need any help."
The man felt that she did not understand what he meant.
"I mean, in the same way."
"The same way?"
Anmi seems to understand now.
"You mean... that way?"
The man nodded slightly.
"If I ever encounter the same situation as you did yesterday, I would also appreciate your help."
Anmi's fingers, which were resting on the blanket, immediately curled up in tension.
What goes around comes around, right?
There's no such thing as a free watermelon, nor is there a free man.
Undeterred, she said, "But doesn't your doctor friend have the medicine?"
The man glanced at her indifferently: "His medicine is not mature, and your allergy just proves it."
What if you're not allergic to this medicine?
"I am allergic to capsule shells."
“…” Anmi felt that if she continued to ask, she would be shirking her responsibility.
"Okay then..." she replied softly.
Anyway, he used the word 'if,' which means it might not happen.
Besides, I did indeed take advantage of them, so I couldn't refuse...
The man took his phone out of his pocket.
"Let's add each other on WeChat so we can contact each other next time."
Anmi took out her phone and added him on WeChat.
"What is your name?" She didn't even know his name.
The other person opened their hand towards her.
Anmi immediately understood and placed the phone in his palm.
Tap tap tap tap... The man took the phone and typed for a while.
After making the note, he returned the phone to Anmi.
Anmi took it and read it word by word: "Yan, Jin, Nian".
Hmm, where have I seen this name before?
"Um."
Yan Jinnian responded and picked up his phone.
"your?"
Anmi straightened up: "My name is Anmi, An as in peace and Mi as in sweetness."
Her name is easy to remember.
Yan Jinnian's fingers tapped on the keyboard.
"Okay." He put his phone away.
“Ms. An, now that we have reached a consensus, there is something I need to tell you in advance.”
"I have a kind of mental fastidiousness. If I have close contact with strangers, I will have a very severe allergic reaction."
A stranger? Anmi blinked. "Are you talking about me?"
Yan Jinnian did not deny it.
"So we need to get familiar with it first."
"How do you plan to get acquainted?" Anmi asked readily.
Suddenly, a page of paper appeared in the man's hand.
"Here's the contract, take a look." He handed it to Anmi.
Why is there a contract involved?
Why make it so serious!
She glanced at the other person with a puzzled look.
Yan Jinnian: "To avoid anyone suddenly changing their mind."
Got it, that's to keep an eye on her.
Anmi took it; the contract listed several provisions in black and white.
She started reading from the top and continued down:
1. Party A and Party B must build a close relationship through some daily activities, including but not limited to eating together, watching movies together, shopping together, and participating in outdoor activities together;
Anmi asked doubtfully, "You want to be my male best friend?"
Eating out, watching movies, and shopping are things she often does with her best friend.
Yan Jinnian's eyes remained calm: "If that's how you want to understand it, then so be it."
Anmi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."
Actually, she wasn't familiar with her girlfriends when they first met, but after having a few meals and shopping trips together, they gradually became acquainted.
Therefore, this rule is very practical.
"Can!"
She continued reading the second item:
2. Party B shall not establish an intimate relationship with a third party while establishing an intimate relationship with Party A;
Anmi: "Can't girls even do it?"
She also has two close girlfriends.
Yan Jinnian: "Okay, but you have to put me first."
Anmi: "Does it mean if 'my best friend and you both ask me out at the same time, and I have no choice but to say yes to you'?"
Yan Jinnian shook his head: "No need. I will avoid the times they make appointment with you, so as not to put you in a difficult position."
Then it won't have any impact.
Anmi: "Okay!"
The first two were fine, but she simply read the third one aloud.
“Third, if Party A feels that Party B is a good person during the process of establishing an intimate relationship with Party B, then Party A has the right to make this relationship legal… What does that mean?” Anmi raised her head.
Yan Jinnian replied calmly, "It means exactly what you think it means."
Did she understand what it meant?
Anmi paused for a moment, then carefully considered the meaning of that word.
What are the legal relationships between men and women?
Father and daughter?
Brother and sister?
Husband...husband and wife?
