Chapter 33 Then You Offend Me
There were two knocks on the door, and the doctor who had been resting was hastily called up. He quickly helped Shuangxu treat the wound caused by the metal cut and applied medicine.
The wound was quite deep, so the doctor gave her a tetanus shot and reminded her, "Be careful not to let the wound get infected, and try not to get it wet before it heals."
Shuang Xu nodded in agreement.
After the treatment, the doctor looked at He Tingzhou, then at her, and asked in a subtle way: "Should we tell Master Shen about this?"
He thought it was He Tingzhou who did it.
Shuang Xu was all wet and wrapped in a bath towel. It was obvious that he had been in the water. His feet were badly injured. It was obvious that he was up to no good.
Tell me, you bastard.
He didn't dare to offend either side. If he told the truth, He Tingzhou might remember him; if he didn't tell the truth, Shen Yu would find out tomorrow and might come to settle the score with him.
He Tingzhou said nonchalantly: "It's up to her."
In the past, when being bullied, Shuang Xu would immediately go to Shen Yu with a wronged look on his face.
But now, even she herself began to doubt whether she was Shen Yu's problem.
I took my fiancée out to sea, but my good mood was ruined by her.
Shen Yu will definitely not let this matter go. If he stands up for her again when he returns, he will most likely become enemies with the Zheng family.
Without her, things would be much simpler.
Shuang Xu picked at his nails unconsciously: "I'll talk to him tomorrow."
She didn't know whether Lu Manman was really in Shen Yu's room. She couldn't just run over and knock on the door to disturb her.
The suite was on the same floor. Returning to the room from the infirmary, Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou walked through the carpeted corridor one after the other.
When she reached the door, she stopped, turned around and said to He Tingzhou: "Brother Tingzhou, don't mind what I said before. I have no right to lose my temper with you. I may have offended you unintentionally during this period. I'm sorry, and I won't do it again in the future."
After saying this, he went in and closed the door without waiting for He Tingzhou to react.
She behaved politely, even respectfully, not at all as brazenly as she had been when she had called him a "toad".
She is very comfortable in front of people close to her, loves to laugh, and can act coquettishly, like when she was with Shen Yu before.
It was not the kind of alienation towards him that made her want to draw a galaxy with the Queen Mother's hairpin.
She is like a turtle that uses its shell to protect itself. When she feels safe, she will slowly extend her head and claws a little. Once she is stung, she will immediately retract and roll away with her shell.
Shuang Xu had just walked into the room when he heard two knocks on the door.
She turned back and opened the door a little.
"The princess has a bad temper." He Tingzhou leaned against the door frame with his arms folded and asked directly, "What are you angry about?"
Shuang Xu was puzzled for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Did I say that your love is not precious, or that you have a pitiful face?" He Tingzhou asked.
She said nothing.
Master He has never reflected on his own words and deeds in his life. He raised his eyebrows and thought back for a long time. Putting aside the unhappy emotions he felt at that time, he felt that he was nothing.
"Is that the one where I asked you to confess to your brother?"
Shuang Xu didn't understand what he was up to, so he held the door handle and asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I take back everything I said tonight." He Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Okay?"
His eyes were actually serious, which made Shuang Xu surprised and confused.
She looked at He Tingzhou for a few seconds, looked away and said, "No need. You are just saying what is in your heart."
"Who said that?" He Tingzhou said confidently, "You can still read my mind? How do you know I'm not saying one thing and thinking another?"
Shuang Xu really thought he was weird. He had said something hurtful and now he wanted to take it back.
"It's up to you." She didn't want to delve into it or pay attention to it.
She could feel He Tingzhou's eyes on her: "If there's nothing else, I'll close the shop."
He Tingzhou raised his hand to hold the door she was about to close: "Tell me clearly what's wrong with you. How can I comfort you if you don't tell me?"
How could he be so kind to comfort her? Maybe he saw her crying and was afraid that she would complain to Shen Yu tomorrow.
"You don't have to coax me, and I'm not in a bad mood."
It’s just about recognizing your own identity, positioning yourself correctly, and not thinking of yourself as a scallion anymore.
Standing close to her, He Tingzhou was a head taller than her, and glanced at her lightly: "I have to coax you."
"Don't tease me anymore." Shuang Xu said, "I'm really not angry with you."
He Tingzhou looked at her carefully, as if judging her.
A few seconds later: "Then you offend me."
“…”
What a weird request.
Shuang Xu just wanted to draw a clear line between them in the future and didn't want to get entangled with him about this. He Tingzhou was blocking the door and she couldn't close it, so she could only endure and say:
"I won't offend you again. Just pretend that what happened today never happened."
"I don't like to carry things over overnight. If you're going to be angry, just do it today." He Tingzhou gave her a choice in a domineering manner, "You can either offend me, or I can coax you until you're no longer angry."
Shuang Xu was really tired and was left speechless by him. What kind of person was he?
Her temper flared up, and she put her hands on his chest and pushed him away: "I don't want to talk to you now. I want to rest, bye!"
He Tingzhou looked down at her hand, then took a step back under her force.
The door closed in front of him, and the person inside muttered quietly, "There's something wrong with him."
After all the torment tonight, even though Shuang Xu was not sleepy, he was mentally exhausted. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Probably because she caught a cold and was blown by the sea breeze, she developed a high fever in the middle of the night and her whole body was burning.
I slept soundly until the morning, and was awakened by a knock on the door with a splitting headache. I got out of bed to open the door, and passed by the mirror, and saw that my whole body was abnormally red.
Lu Manman stood outside the door full of energy: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Shuang Xu felt weak in his feet.
"Ayu is going to take me snorkeling later. Do you want to go?" Lu Manman asked. "He said you won an award for swimming and you're also great at snorkeling."
Shuang Xu shook his head, and his head felt heavy and painful.
Lu Manman noticed that her face looked a little off, so he put his hand on her forehead and said, "Wow, your forehead is burning. Why is it so hot? Wait, I'll go call a doctor for you."
The doctor came over and took her temperature, and left her with antipyretic medicine. Lu Manman stood by her bed and said, "You definitely can't go like this."
"I'm not going, you guys have fun."
She couldn't open her eyes. After a while, she heard the door close and Lu Manman left.
She was feeling dizzy from fever, sweat was pouring down her body, every bone and nerve was aching terribly, she couldn't sleep well, her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and she curled up in her arms, hugging the quilt.
In a daze, she felt a gentle hand brushing away the sweat-soaked hair on her temples and gently caressing her cheek.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but she was so feverish that she was a little confused and couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
"elder brother……"
Shen Yu sat beside the bed, touched her red eyelids with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Go to sleep, Xiaojiu."
Shuang Xu closed his eyes again at this reassuring voice and fell into a deep sleep.
The antipyretic took effect, and when she opened her eyes again, she was a little more awake.
There was no one by the bed, and the suite was so quiet that it seemed as if no one had ever been there.
She remembered that Shen Yu was going to go snorkeling with Lu Manman today. It was Lu Manman's first time snorkeling, and she was looking forward to it before coming.
They should have left.
