The night owl listened for a while and finally understood, then laughed:
"It's nothing! Nan Qing'an has been looking for me like crazy lately! I'll get revenge for you! Let's see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"
"I'm telling you this so you can avenge me! I'm telling you, he's sick, and in every place he lives, it's the last room on the second floor..."
Xu Nuo chatted with Ye Mao for a long time until Ye Linyan knocked on the door.
Holding the video call without hanging up, Xu Nuo opened the door for Ye Linyan, then returned to her chair and continued chatting with Night Owl:
"By the way, Rui Rui complained to me that he was completely naked and you didn't touch him at all? When did you become a vegetarian?"
"I just don't like him that way. I was just teasing him, who knew he'd take it seriously! He's too bland, not my type!"
Night Owl replied from the other end.
"So what kind do you like?"
"Me? I like girls who are a bit flamboyant!"
Xu Nuo turned around and saw Ye Linyan still standing at the door, showing no intention of coming in. She then turned to the night cat in the video and said:
"Alright! I'm not talking to you anymore! Someone's waiting for me!"
"Get out!"
After hanging up the video call, Night Owl stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, feeling that something about Xu Nuo had gone wrong today.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it!
Could it be that she talked to him for so long just so that he would let her avenge him?
——————————————————————
Ye Linyan took the phone Xu Nuo handed her, took his hand, and said:
"Dinner's ready, come downstairs with me for a bite."
"good."
Xu Nuo knew that Ye Linyan said this because she was afraid that she would say she wasn't hungry.
Sitting down at the table, Ye Linyan served Xu Nuo a bowl of porridge, a fried sunny-side-up egg, and a glass of hot milk, placing them in front of him.
Looking at the glass of milk, Xu Nuo's face instantly darkened:
"Take the milk away."
Ye Linyan glanced at Xu Nuo, said nothing, and took the glass of milk away.
"There's still some beef chili sauce in the fridge, I'll get you some."
Ye Linyan asked cautiously.
“Anything is fine.
Xu Nuo stirred the congee in the bowl in front of her with a spoon.
"Eat a little, as much as you can. Don't eat anything too greasy in the morning. Wait until lunchtime, and I'll make you what you like."
Ye Linyan sat down next to Xu Nuo and pushed the fried sunny-side-up egg towards the edge of his bowl.
"OK."
Seeing that Xu Nuo still didn't seem to like talking to him much, Ye Linyan ate while thinking of what to say.
Xu Nuo forced down a few mouthfuls of congee, then suddenly looked up and flashed his little tiger tooth at Ye Linyan:
"Brother, is there something you want to tell me? You're practically glued to my head!"
Ye Linyan paused for a few seconds, holding the spoon, before placing it into the bowl:
"Dr. Yang will be here in a bit. I've looked him up; he's very famous abroad. You..."
"I'll go along with him! He's alright, not bad!"
Xu Nuo rested her chin on her hand and stirred the bowl with a spoon in her other hand.
"Dr. Yang said your problem isn't serious and you'll recover after a period of treatment!"
Ye Linyan looked at Xu Nuo and spoke earnestly.
"Um."
Xu Nuo looked up and saw the wound on Ye Linyan's forehead. Although he hadn't put on gauze and had covered it with his bangs, Xu Nuo could still see the stitches at a glance.
"It hurts, doesn't it? Why didn't you dodge?"
Xu Nuo put down the spoon in her hand and reached out to touch the two wounds.
Ye Linyan moved back a little, holding Xu Nuo's hand in his own:
"It doesn't hurt. It's okay."
Will it leave a scar?
Xu Nuo looked at the two wounds, which were quite obvious and had been stitched up. If they left scars, with current cosmetic surgery technology, they should be able to be removed.
"It won't leave a scar."
Ye Linyan also put down his spoon, looked at Xu Nuo, and after a while, spoke again:
“Arnold............”
"Um?"
Ye Linyan turned around to face him directly:
Turn around and look at me!
Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked up at Ye Linyan.
"Drug use is very harmful to the body and will destroy your health. We must quit it!"
Xu Nuo's breathing became noticeably rapid, but her face remained calm.
"Don't be afraid, I'll stay with you! Until you're fully recovered! I'll always be with you!"
Ye Linyan tightened his grip on Xu Nuo's hand.
Xu Nuo moved his lips, but after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence:
"good!"
Ye Linyan put his arm around Xu Nuo's shoulder, pulled him into his arms, stroked his head, and whispered:
"Arno, don't be afraid, it will all pass soon. I will always be by your side, always!"
"Yes, I'm not afraid!"
Xu Nuo's cheek pressed against Ye Linyan's chest, her eyes blinking, concealing the tears welling within...
"I'm not afraid..."
Ye Linyan lowered her head and kissed the crown of his head, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:
"When you're better, I'll let you be on top, okay?"
Xu Nuo chuckled and burst out laughing:
"That's a deal, no backing out!"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!
Xu Nuo smiled and agreed. She had been looking forward to this good thing for a long time!
I laughed and laughed until tears streamed down my face...
.......................................................................
Yang Zhao arrived quite quickly. When he arrived, Xu Nuo was sitting in the bedroom waiting for him.
"Hello, Dr. Yang!"
Xu Nuo's cheerful voice surprised Yang Zhao, but he immediately replied:
"Hello, Xu Nuo! You seem to be in a very good mood today!"
Yang Zhao sat down opposite him, and the two sat facing each other by the window, while a light rain was falling outside.
"Not bad!"
Xu Nuo smiled and pushed the freshly brewed coffee over:
What shall we talk about today?
Yang Zhao turned on the recorder, placed it on the table, and replied:
"What would you like to talk about? You don't mind, do you?"
Most people with depression rarely say these things on their own initiative. Yang Zhao looked at Xu Nuo's smiling face, not missing a single micro-expression.
Yesterday, during our conversation, Xu Nuo was still very guarded, but today, he seemed like a completely different person, inside and out.
"It's okay, I don't mind! You're the psychologist my brother found, so whatever you talk about will definitely be related to me!"
"Not necessarily, it's not that limited. You can talk about anything you want!"
Yang Zhao glanced at the raindrops hitting the glass outside the window and continued:
"For example, we can chat about the weather, or what you ate for breakfast!"
Xu Nuo didn't follow his gaze out the window; she simply lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
"Let's talk about my brother instead..."
