Dating
With Lin Shaoxing's extra care, grandma received extra care in the hospital.
Letang went to the hospital frequently and told his family that he had gone out to work. As for whether his grandmother was at home or not, his mother didn't care much. His stepfather, who was usually fooling around outside, didn't even notice that there was someone missing from the house.
He often wondered why the original owner's mother had long been tired of her husband and refused to divorce him because of such a piece of trash.
I learned through indirect inquiries over the past two days that they bought a new house in the suburbs and had already paid the down payment. My mother's salary alone was not enough to pay off the mortgage.
He secretly found a vase and carefully cared for the flowers Lin Shaoxing had given him. Flowers were precious. The flowers he had previously bought from flower shops would wilt within two or three days, but the flowers Lin Shaoxing had given him bloomed exceptionally long. Furthermore, he had searched for many tutorials on how to care for them, so they were still as beautiful as new after a week.
Put it at the head of the bed, use an electric fan to blow it at night, and fall asleep with the scent of flowers, which is particularly peaceful.
Grandma's operation was successful and she will be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
Letang went out early this morning and went to the mall to change his clothes. He also picked out a belt and a scarf at the luxury goods counter. After packing them in gift boxes, he went to the hospital.
Grandma had just taken her medicine and was watching TV. When she saw Letang coming, she smiled with admiration for her grandson: "My Tangbao is so cute, he looks good in anything he wears."
"Grandma, please stop praising me. I'm already grown up and I'll blush if I hear that."
"No matter how old Tangbao is, he is still a child in grandma's eyes."
Letang took out the silk scarf and tied it around her neckline: "Grandma, do you like it?"
"I like it. I like everything Tangbao gives me." Grandma hesitated. "It cost a lot of money, didn't it? I'm old now and don't need these. Why don't I return them?"
"This is a gift to celebrate grandma's successful surgery. I bought it with my part-time job money. I'd be heartbroken if grandma didn't accept it."
He lay in his grandmother's arms and acted coquettishly for a long time, making the old lady laugh. Then he took the scarf and spread it on his knees and stroked it lovingly.
It was just time for lunch, so Letang brought a small table and ate with his grandma.
Grandma could see that the ward she was staying in was not something that ordinary people could afford. Letang told her about the sale of the song copyright and also told her that it was through Tolin Shaoxing's relationship.
At that time, his grandmother's first reaction was to tell him not to tell his father about the copyright fees and to keep the money for himself. Naturally, Letang also planned to do the same.
"You should visit Dr. Lin more often. This time, thanks to his connections, you should thank him very much."
"I understand. I'll be there this afternoon."
After grandma took a nap, Letang took the gift box to Lin Shaoxing's office.
Before entering, she looked at herself in the mirror, fiddled with her hair, and with her most perfect smile of satisfaction, she knocked on Lin Shaoxing's door.
As soon as the intern Liang Shi saw him, he winked at him.
"Are you here to see our director again?"
"yes."
"Oh, that's great! I also want people to come visit us every few days."
Lin Shaoxing's voice sounded from behind: "Have you finished reading the case I asked you to read?"
Liang Shi secretly made a face at Letang: "I'm watching!"
Letang walked to Lin Shaoxing's desk and saw that he had just changed out of his surgical gown and had not yet put on his glasses. He unexpectedly seemed much gentler than usual.
As soon as Lin Shaoxing put on his glasses, he met a pair of sparkling eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Letang smiled sweetly, "You're on the early shift today, right? Are you free after get off work?"
Lin Shaoxing glanced at Liang Shi. Liang Shi, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, was caught red-handed. He stuck out his tongue and immediately retreated to his seat like a turtle.
"available."
"Then..." Letang took out two opera tickets, "Would you like to accompany me to the opera? These tickets are given to me by a friend, and it would be a shame not to go. I can't find anyone else, so I came to ask you."
He said this in a flattering way, and he was unwilling to hide his fox tail. Everyone could see his little thoughts.
But it is this deliberate exposure of cunning that makes people feel itchy.
"good."
Before going to the opera, it was natural to have dinner together. Letang had already reserved a seat in advance and was determined to get it.
This was the first time he had put so much effort into pursuing someone, and he pulled out all the stops. He asked Lin Shaoxing about his favorite cuisine in advance, found a small restaurant hidden in the city's downtown area, and even asked the waiter to prepare candlelight and roses. When he arrived at the table, he attentively opened a seat for Lin Shaoxing.
He had already listed a series of gentlemanly behaviors in his mind and was eagerly looking for an opportunity to show them.
Lin Shaoxing probably had never been treated like this since he was a child. When he thought about whether Lin Shaoxing would show a surprised expression later, Letang couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Who knew that just as he was thinking happily, the whole steak in front of him suddenly turned into cuts. Each piece seemed to have been carefully calculated, and they were all exactly the same size that Letang could eat.
When he looked up, Lin Shaoxing had already wiped the steak juice off his knife and fork and asked him, "What kind of sauce do you want?"
"Tomato..."
In a blink of an eye, the small pieces of steak were evenly covered with the sweet tomato sauce.
"No, no! I can do it myself! No—"
This wasn't what he'd imagined! Shouldn't he be the one to cut the steak for the other person like a gentleman?
Seeing that there was no hope of cutting the steak, Letang quickly took aim at the salad that had just been served and snatched it away: "I'll mix it for you!"
After saying that, he clumsily picked up the fork and started stirring.
The bowl of salad was filled to the brim, and tiny pieces of food would fall out if it was turned over casually. Although Letang was very careful, it was still difficult for him to mix the sauce evenly, and it took him a long time to mix it evenly.
Lin Shaoxing waited for him quietly without urging him at all, as if no matter what Letang did or how it turned out, it would be the best for him.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Letang pushed the salad in front of him, but Lin Shaoxing did not rush to eat it. Instead, he held his right hand.
"Ah... this seems... to be progressing too fast..."
Letang said he was sorry, but he didn't even pretend to pull his hand away, and he let Lin Shaoxing hold the hand with a clear conscience.
The fingertips holding his wrist froze: "Sorry."
He took the hot towel in his other hand and carefully wiped off the sauce that had gotten on his right hand. He immediately withdrew his hand: "I'm sorry for being so abrupt."
Letang: ...
Letang silently cried out in his heart: How could you take it seriously! We can hold hands for a while longer!
Straight men are so hard to chase! Ahh ...
Letang was determined to go on this date, so when buying tickets, he asked Ning Ruotong to find out about the most famous operas in S City recently. He also found a ticket agent and bought two tickets with the best views at a high price.
The opera was more exciting than he had imagined. Both the stage design and the actors fascinated Letang so much that he forgot about the pursuit he had prepared long ago and stared at the stage without blinking.
However, he didn't realize that his focused look actually attracted people's attention.
Lin Shaoxing didn't quite understand these operas, but he didn't feel bored.
But what attracted him more than the opera was the person sitting next to him.
When the stage lights swept across his face, his glass-like eyes reflected colors more brilliant than the universe.
Lin Shaoxing felt that tickets for this opera were hard to come by, and it would be a waste of Letang's kindness if he didn't enjoy it.
But his attention was always unconsciously attracted by his eyes, and he always inadvertently fell on Letang. When he came to his senses, he had unknowingly stared at him for a long time.
Like the sun, even the coldest Neptune still has the most fatal attraction.
After the opera ended, Lin Shaoxing drove him home. Along the way, Letang was still immersed in the aftertaste of the opera and talked a lot to himself.
When he realized that Lin Shaoxing had remained silent, he guessed that Lin Shaoxing did not like opera.
"I was negligent. You can choose the location for our next date, right?"
Lin Shaoxing's brow bones were too prominent. As the light from the car window passed by, his profile revealed sharp lines, making him look particularly cold and hard.
Letang was a little nervous for a moment.
Perhaps Lin Shaoxing was just taking his kids on a trip today? Or perhaps he agreed out of politeness...
"Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Lin Shaoxing looked ahead and tilted his head slightly when he asked him.
"Forget about tomorrow. You have a late shift the day after tomorrow, so please take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
Lin Shaoxing smiled helplessly and shook his head: "It seems that there is a mole here, and he has tipped you off specifically."
"Is it obvious?" Le Tang felt a little embarrassed when his little trick was exposed. "I just want to know when you are free. If you feel uncomfortable, I won't ask Liang Shi."
"Well, don't ask him."
"……good."
Letang lowered his head and said nothing until the car stopped downstairs of his house.
Lin Shaoxing naturally noticed his unusual silence. He turned his head to look at Letang's quiet profile, stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch his face, but froze in mid-air and retracted it.
"Next time, just ask me directly."
Letang looked up in surprise, distracted by the barely perceptible curve of his lips.
Unable to contain the swell of emotions in her heart any longer, she grabbed his withdrawn hand and placed it on her cheek.
"Then you don't need to worry about it next time. I like your touch."
After saying this, she rubbed her slightly cold cheek against Lin Shaoxing's palm, like a docile cat. The soft hair on her temples hooked around Lin Shaoxing's fingertips, tangling in an unclear way.
Lin Shaoxing felt the warmth of his palm, and the itchy touch made his eyes hidden behind the lenses appear particularly deep.
Before I could savor the soft touch, my palm felt empty. Letang had already pulled away and turned around, taking out a carefully wrapped box from somewhere.
"This is a gift for you, open it and take a look."
Lin Shaoxing was a bit surprised, and the flash of surprise and bewilderment in his eyes didn't escape Le Tang's attention. He used to be an all-knowing and omnipotent person, but when he occasionally showed this unexpected look, it seemed particularly vivid.
"I love it, thank you."
A glint flashed in Letang's eyes: "Why don't you try it on?"
"Now?"
Letang nodded rapidly. Seeing him hesitate, he boldly stretched out his finger and hooked his belt: "Hurry up, I want to see..."
Before he could finish his words, the mischievous hand was immediately restrained. Le Tang looked at Lin Shaoxing's hand that was tightly grasping his wrist, and when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of deep and dark eyes.
Letang's heart suddenly tightened.
The tip of his nose was filled with the unique smell of disinfectant on Lin Shaoxing's body, and the sound of restrained breathing was in his ears. For a moment, Letang recalled the irresistible force he felt when those hands were pinching his neck. He realized belatedly that he seemed to have inadvertently provoked a hungry beast.
But as he struggled slightly to pull back, the hand with thick knuckles loosened.
Lin Shaoxing leaned over, held his hand and gently kissed his red wrist.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, pious and cherishing.
"It's late, go home and go to bed early."
