Chapter 23 If You Don’t Tell Me, I’ll Kiss You
After washing the dishes and changing her clothes, Lin Layue picked up the garbage bag and went out with Gu Nan.
They went to the hospital to see their injuries first.
Lin Layue felt that going to the hospital was an exaggeration, but she couldn't resist Gu Nan's insistence.
See a doctor, take X-rays, have your blood drawn, and then wait for the results.
The film came out quickly. The doctor looked at it and confirmed that there was no bone damage. He prescribed some medicine to promote healing and sent them away.
The blood test report would not be available until two o'clock in the afternoon, so Gu Nan went to the nearby computer city.
She wants to play games and edit videos, which requires high performance from the computer. Considering her current financial situation, she can only choose an old desktop computer that is neither too good nor too bad.
In fact, if time and conditions permit, Gu Nan can also assemble one himself, but considering that it takes a long time, parts are hard to find, and tools and space are required, and then calculating the labor costs, it seems that he can't save much, so he might as well buy a finished product.
Before her death, she had assembled a computer herself and was very familiar with the computer's configuration and performance, so none of the salesperson's advertising slogans could fool her.
Then he stopped talking politely and just lifted up her panties and started fighting.
In the end, Gu Nan bought the computer he wanted at an affordable price.
After agreeing on a delivery time, leaving his number and address, and paying a deposit in advance, Gu Nan returned home safely.
Under the resentful gaze of the shopping guide, Gu Nan walked with a proud and confident manner. Lin Layue walked beside her and noticed her slightly raised chin. She felt inexplicably sorry. If she had a tail, it would definitely be raised high now.
The two had lunch nearby and then went back to the hospital to get the blood test report.
There were some minor ailments but no major ones. The doctor only gave a few instructions and didn't even prescribe any medicine.
Lin Layue felt sorry for the money and said, "I told you not to come anymore. I know my body."
Gu Nan stuffed the strawberry sundae into his mouth and said, "Eat it and don't talk."
Lin Layue: “…So sweet.”
The two Gu Nan bought this time were both strawberry flavored, and there was no room for exchange. "They're only four dollars each, we can't waste them."
Lin Layue: “…” It’s so expensive.
He really wanted to tell Gu Nan not to invite him to activities that cost more than fifty cents in the future. It would hurt to eat and it would be a shame if he couldn't finish the food.
"Is it so unpalatable? I think it's delicious." Gu Nan scooped up a big spoonful and felt the strawberry pulp exploding and melting in his mouth, and his happiness was doubled.
Gu Nan was so focused on eating that he didn't even notice the cream on the corner of his mouth. With his pink tongue and white lips, he looked like a little kitten.
He reached out to wipe it off for her, and suddenly remembered that Gu Nan had helped him wipe it off in the same way. They exchanged drinks, kissed in the night breeze, and then walked hand in hand through the streets and alleys, returning to that warm home.
"If you don't want to eat it, just give it to me." Gu Nan took the sundae from Lin Layue's hand.
Lin Layue came back to her senses, licked her lower lip, and her Adam's apple moved, "Hmm."
After eating the sundae, Gu Nan used the excuse of going to the bathroom and asked Lin Layue to wait for her.
Ten minutes later, she walked out of a mobile phone store.
"Let's go and catch a ride." She called Lin Layue who was sitting on the bench waiting for her, and then put the phone in his pocket.
Lin Layue only felt something sliding down her thigh, and then her trouser pocket felt heavy.
He stopped, took it out and saw that it was a cell phone.
It's still a new smartphone.
Lin Layue pursed her lips and returned the phone to Gu Nan, "I can't have it, it's too expensive."
"It's not expensive, just a few hundred yuan." Gu Nan said, "I can't afford expensive things in my current situation, so I'll just make do with what I have."
After paying the rent, buying a computer, and reserving money for the bar, Gu Nan had very little money left to survive. Buying a smartphone under a thousand yuan was the best option within her means.
Although it is an old model from two years ago, it has a high cost performance and can be used for one or two years without any problems if you don’t play games.
Lin Layue insisted, "Even if it's not expensive, I won't accept it."
Gu Nan has been good enough to him. It was his way of repaying her after all. How could he still ask for her cell phone?
He forcefully shoved the phone into Gu Nan's arms and pushed her back, "Go back."
Gu Nan: "But I've already thrown away the packaging, so I can't return it."
Lin Layue didn't believe it, so she bent down to touch Gu Nan's pocket and found nothing except her own cell phone.
He frowned and looked at Gu Nan. His dark pupils were as deep and bright as obsidian. He was very beautiful, but also had a stubborn look on his face. "Where did you buy it? I'll go find it."
Gu Nan curled his lips slightly and asked instead of answering, "Why can't you take it if I give it to you? It's not like I'm stealing or robbing you."
Lin Layue avoided Gu Nan's sight and followed the way she came back, "No reason."
Gu Nan followed him slowly, "Your mouth is like a clam, it's impossible to pry it open. You have to speak out what you're thinking. If you don't tell me, how can I know what you're thinking?"
"How about you tell me why you can't have it, and I'll tell you where the packaging is?"
Lin Layue doesn't stop.
Gu Nan continued, "Are you shy? Or is there some secret you don't want me to know?"
"Hey, you went the wrong way. It's not that way."
Lin Layue turned her head.
"Not over there either."
“…”
"Not here either."
Lin Layue stopped and looked at Gu Nan, her furrowed brows like a small mountain.
Gu Nan laughed, walked over, and led him into the alley, "Tell me, and I'll tell you."
"If you don't tell me, I'll kiss you right here until you can't walk."
The words were very bold.
Lin Layue:?!
He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and at the same time as he couldn't believe it, his cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the red spread all the way to his earlobes.
He glanced around and whispered, "Why are you like this?"
Although he was the one who initiated the kiss last time, he actually didn't like being intimate in public, as it made him feel ashamed.
Gu Nan undoubtedly had a hold on his vital point.
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows, "That's what I'm saying, tell me now."
Lin Layue was defeated by his reckless attitude, "No, I won't return it. Consider it a loan from you. I'll return it to you when I make money."
"No, I want to know why." You must be kidding. Unless Lin Layue quits the bar, his money will just flow from one hand to the other. What's the point?
Lin Layue was somewhat helpless, "Why is it so important?"
Gu Nan nodded heavily, "Important."
Lin Layue: “…”
The two of them were in a stalemate, and finally Lin Layue gave up completely and said in a rather self-deprecating tone: "I can't have the phone, clothes, shoes, or medical expenses either."
Gu Nan: "If I give it to you, it's yours. I don't want you to pay it back."
Lin Layue said seriously: "You want to give it to me, and I remember your kindness, but I also want to repay you."
"I want to make money, a lot of money, but I can't be greedy and repay kindness with enmity."
He was in a nightclub, but he didn't want to actually turn into a duck, an animal.
This may be a bit pretentious, even ridiculous, but he just feels that people must have something to stand on when living in this world.
Whether he was a proud scholar or a man with a good way of making money, his identity was a humiliation to these words, but he still wanted to get closer to them.
Most importantly, in front of Gu Nan, he wanted to be more decent, even if it was just a little bit.
