Chapter 56
Su Yin thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure out how she had offended Xie Lingxu.
Judging from everything that happened yesterday, he behaved abnormally twice. One time, Tian Xiao and Gu Cheng were kissing outside, and he handcuffed her wrist to prevent her from looking; another time, she snatched the book from his hand and put her face on it.
Could it be that... Xie Lingxu actually hates physical contact. Not only does he hate contact from outsiders, he even can't stand seeing others having close contact!
It seemed that every time he had physical contact with her, he would behave a little strangely.
If that's true, that would be very interesting.
She will have good and frequent physical contact with Dean Xie!
"Hehe." Su Yin's eyes rolled around, and the cunningness on her face could not be hidden.
She boldly threw back the quilt, stuffed her feet into her slippers, and ran out, blocking the door of Xie Lingxu's room.
Having not slept all night, she got up earlier than him this time.
Su Yin tried to turn the door handle, but to her surprise it actually opened.
He didn't lock the door!
What's the difference between this and opening the door wide and welcoming her in?
How embarrassing!
Su Yin rubbed his hands excitedly, stood on tiptoe, and squeezed in through the crack of the door very quietly. Because he was doing something bad secretly, he closed the door again very carefully, for fear that someone would see him.
The curtains were half drawn. It was still early, the sky was dark, and the room was a little dark. This was not her first time here, so she still had an impression of the furnishings in the house. She could roughly tell what was where at a glance.
Quietly avoiding the furniture and furnishings, he headed straight for the large bed.
There was a bulge in the bed.
Having learned from the previous experience, Su Yin did not act rashly. He squatted on the floor and looked around carefully.
This time, the person in the quilt was not a pillow, but Xie Lingxu himself.
He was lying on his back, a thin blanket covering his chest, breathing steadily, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.
That handsome hand was placed on his forehead, covering his eyebrows and revealing only the lower half of his face. His features were clean and sharp, and his lips were pursed. He looked cold and distant even when he slept.
Su Yin quietly admired his face for a while.
Putting aside the bad past with that bastard, this face born on Dean Xie is still very handsome.
Before she could take the next step, the person on the bed suddenly moved and turned his face to the other side.
It was just a small movement, but Su Yin was startled. She covered her heart and was unable to recover for a long time. Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, she did not dare to move for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on the person on the bed, her body tense, and she would run away immediately if there was any other movement.
After a long time, the person on the bed did not move at all, and his breathing was steady from beginning to end.
Su Yin's tense body finally relaxed. She rubbed her numb legs, slowly stood up, carefully supported herself on the edge of the bed with one hand, and slowly leaned over.
The bed was too big, and she couldn't reach the person sleeping in the middle. After thinking about it, she simply sat on the bed, supporting herself with one hand and reaching over.
When I got really close, I became even braver, even breathing lightly and slowly, for fear of waking the person up.
Although she came here excitedly, when she really wanted to do something, she got stuck, her mind went blank, and she didn't know where to start.
What can she do? What else can she do?
The passion in her heart faded, and Su Yin began to retreat. The other person was already asleep, what else could she do to him...
In the end, she just stretched out her finger and hesitantly poked his face.
This man looks cold and hard, but his face is soft and warm.
I couldn't help it and poked it again.
Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
The person who didn't want to sleep soundly on the bed suddenly made trouble. The hand that had been on her forehead quickly grabbed her shoulder which she wanted to pull away. Su Yin raised her eyes in confusion and met a pair of clear eyes without any trace of sleepiness.
Su Yin felt a strong force on her wrist, and was pulled onto the bed unexpectedly. The world was spinning in front of her eyes, and in an instant, her back hit the soft bed, and she fell completely onto it.
Both of her hands were shackled by a big hand and pressed over her head, and the man trapped her completely under him.
"The patient sleepwalked into my bed again?"
The familiar scenes and words pulled Su Yin back into the memories of when she had just come here.
For the first time in her life, she felt a little guilty. She swears to God that although she wanted to assassinate him at that time, she really didn't do it this time!
Seeing that the person below seemed distracted, Xie Lingxu pinched her wrist lightly, "The patient looks very awake."
Su Yin only then noticed how awkward her current position was. She struggled a bit but couldn't get free. She got angry and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking this?" Xie Lingxu leaned forward slowly, inching closer until their noses were almost touching. "What do you want to do, sneaking into my bedroom so early in the morning and sitting on my bed?"
Too close, my eyes can't focus, my sight is occupied by him alone, my skin can feel his warm breath, his steady breathing echoes in my ears...
It’s really too close.
Su Yin subconsciously tilted her head, and in a moment of urgency, she pretended to be dumbfounded, "I came to see if the dean is awake. Since he is awake, let them prepare breakfast."
Xie Lingxu didn't give her a chance to excuse herself, and asked slowly, "Do I need to act like a thief to see if someone is sober?"
Su Yin was slightly startled, then immediately understood, "You didn't sleep!"
It seems that he was awake the whole time, watching her make fun of herself!
Xie Lingxu stepped back slightly and asked, "Does my sobriety have anything to do with your purpose for sneaking in?"
"Don't you already know why I sneaked in here?" Thinking that he knew everything that happened just now, Su Yin simply gave up on herself and said viciously, "I have already defiled you!"
“…Don’t use random words.”
Xie Lingxu sighed softly and let go of her wrist.
Almost at the moment he let go, Su Yin rolled over and fell under the bed, clinging to the edge of the bed and looking at him warily.
"Aren't you a germaphobe? Don't you hate being touched by others?"
He sat on the bed and looked at her quietly, "I said, not to you."
Su Yin: “…”
What the hell! What the hell! Xie Lingxu is really crazy!
Back then, he would even change the bed if she touched the quilt!
Perhaps because the expression on her face was too terrified, Xie Lingxu's expression softened. His usually cold voice took on a hint of coaxing: "I am your attending physician, and you are my patient. I should not and will not reject you in any way."
"Then..." Su Yin's eyes rolled, "My attending doctor wouldn't mind his patients entering his room so early in the morning, right?"
Xie Lingxu paused, a slight smile appearing on his brows.
"right."
"Since the doctor doesn't mind, I'll leave first. You continue to sleep." After leaving this sentence, Su Yin clapped his hands and ran away quickly.
He ran quickly and decisively, not forgetting to close the door for him.
The huge bedroom returned to silence. Xie Lingxu leaned casually on the bed with his eyelashes drooping, his eyes focused on the hand that had just touched Su Yin. After a long time, he silently curled the corners of his lips.
At least this time, she didn't come over to strangle him.
...Don't worry, there is a long way to go.
＊
After what they said yesterday, Xie Lingxu really had breakfast with her.
This time it was much more normal, and he didn't do things like picking up dumplings for her.
Su Yin ate breakfast with a heavy heart, and she didn't feel relieved until she swallowed the last bite and the housekeeper collected the plates.
Fortunately, Xie Lingxu did not continue to go crazy.
After breakfast, he behaved as usual, concentrating on his work in the office. Su Yin curled up on the sofa, trying to clear her mind of the things she had experienced in his bedroom that morning.
She comforted herself by thinking it was just an embarrassing nightmare that would be over when she woke up.
After a while, the person on the sofa suddenly jumped up and buried his head in the pillow. The deliberately lowered voice from his mouth sounded particularly suppressed through the pillow fabric.
"ah--"
I can’t forget it at all!!!
It's so embarrassing. It wasn't a big deal originally, but being caught on the spot makes it a different matter!
Su Yin pounded the sofa with both hands and howled involuntarily. Worried that the person in the office would hear her, she had to hold her voice, which made her even more depressed.
At the door, the two men who had never gotten along looked at each other.
Xiao Zhang from Yard No. 1 and the assistant from Yard No. 2 both came to invite Su Yin to visit their yard, but unfortunately, they had the same time.
Originally, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and everyone wanted to be the first to take the young master away. However, when they walked to the door and saw the situation inside, they inexplicably stopped in their tracks.
Although the young master is under the care of the dean and his condition has been stable, the situation inside the house does not look very stable.
Xiao Zhang and his assistant turned their heads at the same time, staring at each other silently, and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes -
you go.
"We intercepted Courtyard No. 2 last time. This time, you go first." Xiao Zhang said politely.
"Doctor Zhang, you are too polite. You are a doctor. You came so early because the patients in Hospital No. 1 must be more urgent. Naturally, you should go first." The assistant replied with a forced smile.
"No rush, no rush. The patient's condition is very stable. Since you came so early, I guess your boss must have a more important task."
"The young master has been to the boss's place many times, but he has only seen Courtyard No. 1 once, right? That's not good."
"hehe."
"hehe."
"Heh, what are you talking about?"
A familiar female voice rang out faintly in their ears. The two who had been arguing with each other suddenly shuddered and stood up straight as a conditioned reflex, saying in unison: "Nothing, Young Sect Master!"
"Yeah?"
Suspicious eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. When they were talking, Su Yin heard the noise, ran over to listen, and then found that they were so engrossed in the argument that neither of them noticed her.
"Of course, Young Master!" Another answer came at the same time.
Su Yin didn't say whether she believed it or not. She stared at the two of them meaningfully for a few seconds, then slumped back on the sofa and asked lazily, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
The assistant who had just been so humble and polite allowed others to come forward quickly and explained his purpose in a quick and clear manner.
"That's right, Young Sect Master. President Fu has already gotten some information on the matter you requested, and would like to invite you over to discuss it in detail. Also, President Fu hopes that Mr. Gu and the dean can accompany you this time."
Beside him, the inexperienced Xiao Zhang looked in disbelief at the man who had been polite to him just a minute ago.
How can people change their minds so quickly!
After listening to the assistant's story, Su Yin turned to look at Xiao Zhang, who was doubting his life. "What about you? What's the matter?"
"Oh... Miss Qingqing asked me to come over and ask the young master to come over." Xiao Zhang rekindled his fighting spirit. If he could snatch someone from Courtyard No. 2 once, he could snatch him away a second time!
"Since our last meeting, Miss Qingqing has been deeply impressed by you and will never forget you, so I hope we can meet again."
Su Yin had a blank expression on her face. Isn't it hard to forget? She also couldn't forget it.
She checked the time and said, "Tell Mr. Fu that I'll be there soon and will bring them with me."
At the same time, he appeared in front of Fu Yan with his 'concubine' and 'lover'. She also wanted to know how Fu Yan would react.
The assistant was obviously delighted and responded quickly and neatly, "Okay, I'll go back and have someone prepare to receive the guests."
Su Yin looked at him strangely. His boss might be about to experience the biggest hurdle in his illness, but he was so happy?
The assistant was indeed very happy at first, but suddenly he caught her eye, his mind raced, and he instantly recalled the scene when Gu Qian'an was there last time, and his mind froze instantly.
He had to go back and put away all the highly lethal items and antique decorations in the office to avoid any tragedy.
The assistant left with both joy and sorrow.
Xiao Zhang was still standing there, waiting for the young master's next words.
After waiting for a long time without any sound, he looked up and saw the young sect leader sitting cross-legged on the sofa, flipping through an album, completely ignoring him.
He couldn't help but ask, "Young Master?"
"Anything else?"
"Miss Qingqing's place?"
"No."
Xiao Zhang was stunned.
Su Yin flipped a page in the atlas and looked at the supposed heirloom, saying casually, "Should I go if she invites me?"
"No, no." Xiao Zhang certainly knew that the young master had no such obligation, not to mention that she was also a patient.
But he still wanted to fight for it, "Young Master, I know Miss Qingqing's illness may be a little serious at times, but she won't hurt you. Miss Qingqing has been very lonely since entering the sanatorium. You are the first one to be with her..."
Su Yin interrupted him: "First of all, her skills alone don't pose any threat to me. Including you, the two of you combined can't beat me."
"Secondly, everyone in this sanatorium feels lonely after entering it. Ji Qingqing is not the only one."
"Finally, you kept talking about Miss Qingqing, but what does that have to do with me?"
Su Yin looked him in the eyes and asked seriously, "Except for our last meeting, there is no relationship between her and me. Why should I accept her invitation from her perspective?"
She was really curious as to why he thought she would accept the invitation.
After their last meeting, she assessed that Ji Qingqing's situation was not suitable for being won over like Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao, and Ji Qingqing's ability and resources were not enough to cooperate like Fu Yan.
Since she is neither a friend, nor a follower or a collaborator, why should we care about her?
She is not one of those righteous people who love charity.
Xiao Zhang was speechless. Rationally, he knew that what the young sect leader said was right, but emotionally, he was shocked by the young sect leader's coldness, which was completely different from his way of thinking.
He had heard that the young sect leader called himself the evil young sect leader, and indeed what he said just now was indeed very evil.
Xiao Zhang didn't know what else to say. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Su Yin has lowered his head to continue studying the atlas.
Finally, Xiao Zhang bowed deeply to her and said, "Excuse me."
I turned around and left, only to find the dean leaning against the side of the office with his arms folded. I don't know how long he had been listening.
