Chapter 66
The next day.
Suyin woke up on the bedroom floor. When she opened her eyes, her forehead was against the mattress, her legs were curled up in a strange posture, and her neck was sore.
She held her neck and sat up with difficulty, but she couldn't remember what she did last night.
Just as she was feeling lost, the door lock made a slight sound. Su Yin turned her eyes and met a pair of dark eyes.
"Xie Lingxu, were you beaten?"
She immediately noticed the noticeable red mark on the side of his face and was shocked and suspicious.
A very obvious slap mark.
Who is so awesome that he dares to slap Xie Lingxu?
You can tell at a glance that he was ruthless.
"You don't remember?" Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know that she could lose her memory after getting drunk.
His tone...
Su Yin was shocked, "It can't be me who hit him, right?"
Xie Lingxu chuckled, walked forward, held her right hand, and pressed it on the red mark on her cheek that had not yet faded.
Su Yin felt guilty and involuntarily spread out her fingers to check. It was just right! Everything from the fingers to the palm was aligned.
That little bit of guilt quickly turned into an irrepressible pride.
Success!
She actually slapped Xie Lingxu in the face!
The surprise in those eyes did not escape Xie Lingxu's notice. He knew what Su Yin was thinking, and he squeezed her wrist gently.
I don't know why, but I didn't feel satisfied with just one pinch, so I pinched it again.
Su Yin's guilty conscience was brought back by him again.
She argued: "It's the wine's fault. I mistook you for that piece of shit."
Xie Lingxu didn't respond to her. He let go of her wrist and gently pressed his warm palm against her neck. "What's wrong here?"
"I slept on the floor all night and got a stiff neck." Su Yin answered honestly.
"I'm sorry I didn't take good care of you."
Xie Lingxu helped her sit on the bed, and with his index and middle fingers he began pressing gently from just below her ear, slowly moving to her shoulders.
Su Yin felt a slight soreness, but more of a numbness, as if something was coming from the stiff muscles and spreading all the way to his limbs and bones, making his palms feel hot for no reason.
She shifted uncomfortably, only to be re-secured by his free hand.
Su Yin was eager to say something to break the uncomfortable atmosphere. "What does it have to do with you? I just slept in the wrong position."
"You were very defensive towards me when you were drunk. I brought you back yesterday, but you reacted violently just by being in the same room with me. I thought you would be more comfortable if you stayed alone in the room, but I didn't expect you to sleep on the floor all night."
What Xie Lingxu didn't say was that just after he put Su Yin down, she slapped him again, hitting the same spot exactly. The wound swelled up quickly. He had no choice but to put her back in the bedroom. He applied ice for a while before coming back to find her, but she had locked the door.
The key was kept by the nurse, and it would not be appropriate to go to her to get it late at night, so I waited until this morning.
Su Yin listened and smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone for the next two days."
She rubbed her palms together to warm them up, and placed them on his face, moving them very gently, blowing gently on them occasionally.
At this moment, Xie Lingxu suddenly felt that these two slaps were worth it.
Su Yin was thinking about whether to apply some medicine to him. She raised her eyes inadvertently and her gaze met his. She looked into his eyes and then looked away as if escaping.
A thought suddenly popped up in her heart: if he didn't have this face and this name...
After a while, Su Yin said solemnly: "Xie Lingxu, you are really a good person."
Xie Lingxu lowered his eyes and pressed the last spot silently without responding to her.
If she knew what he was hiding, she would probably... want to tear him apart.
Even though I know that asking some questions will only embarrass myself, I still can't resist the inner thought, "You seem to be interested in that..."
Xie Lingxu paused, then continued with some difficulty, "You bastard, are you really annoying?"
This question is easy to answer, but Su Yin thought about it for a moment, "I used to hate everything about him, but now, I don't hate his face and his name as much."
Xie Lingxu seemed to be suddenly pulled back to the world from hell.
He heard his own shameless voice, "Is it because of me?"
"Yes." Su Yin said as a matter of course.
At the beginning of summer, birds were singing and cicadas were chirping outside the yard, but Xie Lingxu felt that everything was quiet at this moment, and the only sound was his own heartbeat, which was rapid and clear, one after another.
＊＊＊
Three days later, the marks on Xie Lingxu's face completely disappeared.
He left the house before he had even finished his meal.
I don’t know what happened these two days, but Courtyard No. 3 was very deserted. Gu Qian’an didn’t come, Tian Xiao didn’t come, and even the assistant and Xiao Zhang didn’t come here. Only Xie Lingxu was with her.
But now, even Xie Lingxu is not here.
Su Yin was bored being alone, so he took the nurse out to check on the current situation of his followers.
The young nurse was still thinking about the Young Master's seduction plan. On the way, she coquettishly inquired, "Young Master, is the dean deeply in love with you now?"
According to her observation, the relationship between the young master and the dean is not as affectionate as ever, but it is almost the same.
Because she often saw them being alone together, the young nurse even stopped watching idol dramas. There was nothing better than the two of them.
But I didn't expect that the young master would deny it.
Su Yin said, "I'm not really in love with him, but I feel like he likes me a little bit."
It's not like she's blind; she can see that Xie Lingxu treats her differently from others.
Should the dean have some affection for her? That's blatant favoritism and affection!
The young nurse was angry, but she didn't know how to remind him, so she simply suggested: "Why don't you just ask him directly!"
Su Yin thought this was fine, but she still had some concerns, "What if he says he doesn't like it?"
"Then keep trying to seduce her. One day she'll take the bait."
"What if he says he likes it?"
The young nurse was surprised. "Didn't you want him to like you in the first place?"
Su Yin stopped talking, lowered her head, and looked listless.
After walking for a while towards Courtyard No. 4 and Courtyard No. 5, two unfamiliar faces came towards us, a man and a woman, both of them looked outstanding and had a strong aura.
Su Yin has dominated the sanatorium for a long time, but has never seen these two people.
The young nurse identified them and whispered to her, "They must be Mr. Gu's brother and sister. The dean previously informed us that relatives from Courtyard No. 5 will be landing on the island today."
Gu Qian'an is very much loved at home. This time, because the nursing home closed the visiting channel, they haven't seen each other for several months, so the whole family came to visit.
The road was not long. Just as the nurse finished introducing their identities to Su Yin, the two groups bumped into each other.
"Miss Su."
Gu Qi'an's sister, Gu Qiyue, smiled and said, "I heard Qi'an talk about Miss Su a long time ago. Seeing is believing. No wonder my brother is always thinking about her."
The young nurse stared at the young sect leader closely, afraid that she would say something like "It's natural for the followers to miss the leader."
Fortunately, the young master's answer was normal - "Hello."
"Miss Su, are you going to look for Qi An? What a coincidence, Qi An is accompanying his father and mother."
"oh."
Su Yin was a wicked person who had always lived in rejection by the general public. He was very perceptive about their eyes and immediately noticed the scrutiny in the eyes of these two people.
But I didn't care.
She turned her head to the nurse and said, "Then let's go to Courtyard No. 4."
"Okay, Young Master."
It happened that a few medical staff passed by at this time and greeted Su Yin naturally: "Hello, Young Sect Master."
Su Yin nodded reservedly.
The strange yet familiar name made the two siblings of the Gu family look sideways. They had heard their silly brother call them that many times on the phone.
It just so happened that the people who were calling out and those being called out seemed more relaxed than them, making them look like the odd ones out.
Then I remembered that this was a mental hospital after all, and it started to feel a little real.
The two groups looked at each other in silence. Gu Qiyue looked back and suddenly said, "Thank you, Dean."
Su Yin turned her head following her voice and really saw Xie Lingxu.
"Why are you here?"
Xie Lingxu stepped forward and nodded slightly to the two siblings of the Gu family as a greeting.
As soon as she saw him, Su Yin forgot all the trivial matters and only remembered the nurse's advice.
There was a struggle between her conscience and her desires in her heart, and it was a tangled mess. She didn't even respond to Xie Lingxu's words, and didn't care that everyone's eyes were on her.
Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Xie Lingxu, I have something to ask you."
"Well, what do you want to ask?" He tilted his head and waited quietly.
"I'll ask again when I get back." Su Yin waved her hand and glanced at the two people from the Gu family. There were outsiders here, and she didn't want to be watched by others.
Almost the moment she finished speaking, Xie Lingxu said, "Then let's go back?"
"Go back and wait."
She hasn't finished her inspection yet.
Xie Lingxu was not in a hurry. "Where are you going? I'll accompany you."
Su Yin stretched out an index finger and shook it left and right, indicating that she didn't need him to accompany her.
"I plan to go see my congregants."
She said this in front of the official director of the sanatorium without changing her expression.
Xie Lingxu didn't react to her words. He just said calmly, "The people from Courtyard No. 4 are outside, and Courtyard No. 2 is preparing to welcome the relatives."
As for the one in Courtyard No. 1, he was not one of her followers. At best, he was an outsider who kept pestering her for no apparent reason.
As he spoke, Xie Lingxu glanced at the young nurse silently.
The young nurse understood immediately and turned away silently.
A qualified light bulb will not glow.
Over there, Su Yin hadn't noticed that the follower was gone yet, and asked Xie Lingxu in surprise: "How did you know?"
“I saw it.”
After sending the nurse away, Xie Lingxu continued calmly, "If it's not a good time today, I'll go with you to find them another day."
He simply ignored the gesture of rejection.
With solid reasoning and solid evidence, Su Yin was easily persuaded by him. "Okay, then let's go back."
When I turned around, the little nurse was gone.
Before Su Yin could speak, Xie Lingxu admitted, "I asked her to go back first. She has other work to do."
"I also want her to bring me some food."
"What do you want to eat?"
"The one from yesterday, I forgot what it was called."
"I'll ask the kitchen to make yesterday's menu again."
…
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
The two siblings from the Gu family who had been standing by were completely ignored.
Gu Qi'an's eldest brother, Gu Qiyuan, saw his sister staring at the two men's backs and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Qiyue narrowed her eyes, unable to describe her feelings. "Maybe it's the magic of love. I always feel that this Mr. Xie is a little different from before."
“It’s a little different.”
