Chapter 13 Let’s taste the fine bran, my friend
This was the first time Lin Yan saw Xing Yu get angry.
Really angry.
She stared into his deep eyes, which contained not only suppressed anger but also full of worry.
Faced with such a Xing Yu, she was speechless for a moment.
Xing Yu's face remained stern, and his voice was cold and hard: "This is a small county town, not northern Beijing! What if you encounter stray dogs today and bad guys tomorrow? Can you become a rich woman by saving a few dollars on taxi fares? Can you be more careful?"
Although the words are unpleasant, they are full of concern.
Lin Yan knew the seriousness of the situation. If it weren't for Xing Yu, she would have been bitten to pieces by the dog.
She lowered her eyelashes and didn't look at him: "Just now, thank you."
Xing Yu removed his hand from her shoulder and frowned slightly at the fear that remained on her face.
The anger in his voice had dissipated. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No."
After he finished speaking, his lowered gaze was inadvertently attracted by the prickly red on the back of Xing Yu's hand.
She instinctively grabbed Xing Yu's right hand, only to discover a deep tooth mark on the back of his hand, soaked in blood.
Lin Yan's expression changed slightly: "You were bitten?"
Xing Yu wiped the blood off the back of his hand nonchalantly, then suddenly curled his lips and said, "Why? Are you worried about me?"
Starting to be naughty again.
Lin Yan took out her phone and called a taxi: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"CDC, give me an injection and some medicine."
…
It was two o'clock in the morning when we walked out of the CDC.
A chill rose, and Lin Yan sniffed.
Then, he put on a black coat.
The remaining warmth immediately drove away the chill in her body.
Before she could say anything, Xing Yu spoke first: "Please put it on me. I just had the injection and I'm hot."
Lin Yan glanced at his thin sweater, then slowly moved towards his gauze-bandaged hand.
A subtle ups and downs passed through my heart.
Is this person really dishonest or is he just pretending to be dishonest?
The two walked side by side, their figures, one tall and one short, harmonious and ambiguous under the street light.
Xing Yu didn't say anything, which made her feel a little passive.
"Didn't you leave early for dinner tonight?" Lin Yan asked, "How did you... run into me?"
"It was just a chance encounter." Xing Yu said casually, "Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
Xing Yu stopped and began to seduce her with his bewitching eyes: "Yes, it's just as you think. I'm following you."
Lin Yan smiled with a forced smile and remained silent.
Xing Yu stared at her.
He discovered that the base color of Lin Yan's eyes was always black.
It was empty and dark, without a trace of light or any emotional fluctuations.
Even every time she raised the corners of her lips, there seemed to be a pool of stagnant water.
This stagnant water seemed like it would drown her at any moment...
She seems not happy at all.
"Lin Yan." Xing Yu changed the subject: "If you encounter stray dogs next time, I will teach you a way to deal with them."
"What method?"
"I'm not a professional dog breeder, but I know that when you meet a dog, you should slowly approach it, letting it feel that you have no ill intentions, and then gently stroke its head. A normal dog won't bite you, and if it bites you..."
Lin Yan listened carefully: "What if he bites me?"
"If it bites you, just pretend I didn't say anything. After all, I said at the beginning that I'm not a professional dog breeder."
"..." Lin Yan finally realized that Xing Yu was talking nonsense.
nerve.
But it inexplicably hit her funny spot, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
…
The next morning, Lin Yan knocked on Xing Yu's door across the street for the first time.
The door opened and their eyes met.
Xing Yu, wearing a rare light-colored top, leaned against the door with an elegant and casual temperament, looking at her meaningfully.
I was used to seeing Xing Yu dressed in black, but when I suddenly saw him wearing white, I actually saw some nobility in this rough guy.
"Rare guest, what's the matter?"
Lin Yan came to her senses and handed him the two thousand five hundred cash she had prepared.
"This is the money I owe you. Count it."
Xing Yu took it and pretended to count the money, but kept talking: "Did you win the lottery?"
This was her advance salary: "Just take it, it's clean and legal."
Xing Yu put the money in the shoe cabinet beside him and glanced at the black bag in her hand: "Anything else, my friend?"
Lin Yan squeezed the bag in her hand and placed the contents awkwardly at the door. "These are fifteen eggs."
Xing Yu hesitated: "Eggs?"
"You helped me last night, this is a little token of my appreciation." He was hurt by her, and he always felt that he had to give her something so that he wouldn't feel burdened.
Xing Yu laughed: "You're sending me packing after beating me for fifteen eggs?"
"These are free-range eggs, very nutritious." Zhou Gang gave them to me as a token of his appreciation.
"Hey, my refrigerator is full of free-range eggs." Xing Yu teased her, "Why? Are the eggs laid by your uncle's chickens more valuable than those laid by my grandma's chickens?"
Lin Yan was speechless.
Fifteen eggs is a bit shabby.
Lin Yan made up her mind: "Well, when you recover from your injury, I will treat you to a meal."
"You haven't eaten the meal you owed me for less than 200 yuan. With this meal included, you already owe me two meals."
Lin Yan: “Yeah, I remember.”
"Come in and sit down."
"No, I still have to go to work."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"How many free-range eggs did you eat?"
“…” You’re really good at guessing.
Xing Yu understood her expression and took her arm and led her into the house.
He pushed her to sit at the dining table and said, "I made mustard greens and shredded pork porridge. Come and have some of it, my friend."
Then she watched Xing Yu turn around and walk into the kitchen.
Lin Yan couldn't help but look around the house. It had three bedrooms and a living room, decorated in a log style.
There are many plants on the balcony and many books in the glass cabinet in the living room.
The blanket on the sofa was neatly folded and the floor was spotless.
The whole house is simple, clean yet warm.
It’s hard to imagine that this is the home of a man living alone.
As she was thinking, Xing Yu had already sat down opposite her with porridge in his hand.
He poured a bowl of porridge and pushed it in front of her: "There are no onions and it's not hot. Drink it."
Lin Yan stirred the porridge with a spoon and glanced at Xing Yu's bandaged hand: "The doctor said the wound can't touch water, so why are you still cooking?"
"Just injured, not disabled."
Lin Yan suggested: "You should stop cooking recently and order takeout instead."
"I have a picky stomach and can't eat takeout."
Lin Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him and put a mouthful of porridge into her mouth.
Xing Yu leaned back in the chair and negotiated with her with a smile: "Friend, if you really want to thank me, come and cook for me before my hand heals. I'll buy the groceries, you cook, and we can eat together, how about that?"
Lin Yan declined: "I'm busy at work and don't have time."
"Just dinner."
"The workload has been very heavy recently and I need to work overtime every day."
"It's okay, let's have a midnight snack."
Lin Yan: “…”
Xing Yu suddenly sighed, his acting spirit taking over.
"Forget it... Then I'll just do it myself with this injured hand. The worst that can happen is a serious infection, and I'll be crippled and unable to box. I'm a grown man, this little thing is nothing, it really is nothing..."
"Okay." Lin Yan couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted: "Don't act pitiful, I'll do it."
"Well, the injury on my hand was not in vain."
At this time, the bedroom door opened and a little girl, about seven or eight years old, wearing pajamas, walked out.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she called out softly to Xing Yu.
"dad……"
