29 Before Ni Yue Appeared
The human brain is divided into two hemispheres. The left brain is responsible for rational and logical thinking, while the right brain is responsible for emotional and creative expression.
In most of the romance novels Ni Yue has read, whenever the heroine is kissed by the hero for the first time, the heroine's left and right brains will immediately engage in a heated debate - the rational voice says, no, this is happening too fast, I have to stop him; but the emotional voice can't stop moaning, my God, his kiss is so soft, so wet, and so gentle... What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?
However, at this time, Ni Yue did not have a fight between his left and right brain, but only a split between the northern and southern hemispheres.
The cool air from the cold eye mask penetrated through her eyes and into her brain, and the upper half of her face seemed to be anesthetized, with both sides feeling half numb.
The lower half of his face was in a stalemate.
Chen Yuang kissed, sucked, and demanded without paying attention to the people around him, which earned her an instinctive response.
There was no dilemma, and she even kissed him more passionately than he did.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped. He put his arm around her waist, wrapped his body tightly around her, and put his mouth close to her ear. He whispered in a deliberately low voice, not without regret, "Well, I have to go back to work..."
The two of them fit together almost perfectly, and she could feel his heartbeat, which was almost in sync with hers.
She didn't say anything, just rested her chin on his shoulder and breathed softly.
His ears were filled with her hot breath, and he lost control again.
Without further ado, his kiss fell upon her again, more possessive than the last time. He continued to deepen the kiss, causing her to have the illusion that all the saliva deep in her throat had been eaten by him.
Finally, he took off her blindfold and sucked away the water droplets from her eyes one by one.
As he held her face and kissed her like this, Ni Yue suddenly remembered a sentence from Sister Paoqiu's book:
Kissing the eyes represents the acceptance and redemption of your inner world. Only a man who is interested in your inner world will kiss your eyes.
She couldn't help but shiver, feeling both excited and scared.
Use your wrist to push him away.
Under the dim and intoxicating streetlights, Chen Yuang could be seen smiling. He bit his lower lip for two seconds to calm down, then said with restraint, "I really have to go."
He lowered his head, put the eye mask back into the plastic box, and stuffed it into her hand.
Finally, he pecked her gently on the forehead.
After saying goodbye to Chen Yuang, Ni Yue turned around and walked home.
The temperature difference between the northern and southern hemispheres gradually returned to zero, and the difficult problem that had been lingering in my mind came back again.
Just now she stormed out of the door in anger, putting her biological mother and non-blood-related cousin in an awkward situation.
Although she never thought she was wrong, and at most only slightly wrong, the most urgent task was to find a way to make these two women calm down first.
After all, they are the two most important women in his life.
It is expected that Wu Xia is currently acting like Sister Lin, sitting on the sofa holding Zhang Chenling's hand, crying and talking nonsense, and her cousin may rarely stop protecting and supporting her, and may even agree with some of Wu Xia's words.
When she thought of this, her scalp went numb and her steps became heavier.
I opened the door nervously, only to find the room was pitch black.
They had all gone back to their rooms to sleep, and no one left a light on for her. The warm light no longer shone from under the crack of her cousin's door as it used to.
The scene she had been worried about all the way did not happen. Instead of letting her feel relieved, it made her nose sore and she almost shed two tears.
He sighed and picked up his phone. In the darkness, he saw several unread text messages, all from Chen Yuang:
"Busy?"
"I have good news for you!"
"I'm definitely going to transfer departments!"
"?"
…
All of them were sent to her by Chen Yuang before they met.
However, he was only focused on listening to Ni Yue's story, and in his confusion he kissed her again, forgetting what he originally wanted to say.
Not until Ni Yue merged into the thick night did Chen Yuang sprint a hundred meters back to the department.
Sitting back in his seat, he didn't even have time to breathe when the phone in his pocket suddenly started buzzing non-stop. He said awkwardly to a nurse named Cao next to him, "Sorry, hold on a little longer, I have to go take a call!"
Nurse Cao glanced up at him and said with a smile, "Go quickly! From the persistent vibrations, I know it's your 'Red Hot Chili Pepper' calling for her life!"
Chen Yuang pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, took the phone and walked towards the stairwell, climbing up two steps three at a time before the call was connected.
It was not yet seven in the morning Los Angeles time, and "Little Pepper" had just woken up.
"Xiaoyu, you don't have work tomorrow night, right?"
"Yeah, didn't your bestie send you my schedule a long time ago?"
"...Take Isabella out for something good to eat tomorrow night. Don't take her to eat crayfish like last time and make her mouth swollen."
"Her mouth is swollen because she just had a lip job."
"What's with the pout? I don't understand what you're saying. Anyway, you have to spend time with her. After dinner, take her for a walk, take her to the Bund to see the night view, and find an elegant place for a drink. She's a little girl with no relatives in Shanghai. She only knows our family, so you have to take good care of her!"
"Mom, you don't know, they are much more familiar with Shanghai than I am. Going to the nightclub at night is like visiting relatives!"
"...Don't talk nonsense. I watched Isabella grow up. She goes home after class every day and is very well behaved!"
"Well?"
"Anyway, if you treat her well, I don't have to fly back to Shanghai to teach you, right?"
"No, no, no, please don't... Oh, Mom, Aunt Cai told you that I'm transferring to another department, right?"
"What? Which department?"
"I'll tell you more later. Now I have to get back to work!"
Tsai Mingliang, the head nurse of the Hematology Department of Huajin Hospital, is an old friend of Chen Yuang’s mother, Chu Yanhong.
Back then, Chen Yuang went to college and secretly studied nursing without telling his family. After graduation, he insisted on working as a nurse at Huajin Hospital despite Chu Yanhong's strong opposition. This made Chu Yanhong, who was doing business in the United States, so angry that she fainted.
She flew back overnight, but crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide were all useless, so she had to resort to her trump card and demanded that Chen Yuang must work in the hematology department headed by her old friend, otherwise she would lock him up with her and take him to the United States.
So, Chen Yuang became a nurse under Tsai Mingliang.
However, Aunt Cai is much more reasonable than Chu Yanhong. She understands Chen Yuang's passion for nursing, and she also understands the difficulties he faces as a young man who is not understood by his family elders. Therefore, Aunt Cai just laughed off the spy task entrusted to her by Chu Yanhong.
Normally, apart from Chen Yuang's work performance, she rarely revealed other irrelevant matters to Chu Yanhong.
However, Chu Yanhong would ask Tsai Ming-liang from time to time, saying that she could never find Chen Yuang and didn't understand what else he was busy with besides work?
At one point, Tsai Ming-liang, unable to contain his frustration, retorted, "How should I know? I didn't even go home with him. Besides, you arranged so many blind dates for him, and you claim you don't know what he's busy with?"
Chu Yanhong was speechless for a long while before answering: "I arranged so many things, but he said he didn't like them all!"
…
In the past few years, Chu Yanhong has arranged dozens of young, beautiful and well-off girls for Chen Yuang, but none of them followed up after they met a few times.
The girl named Isabella who came recently is the daughter of another old friend of Chu Yanhong. She grew up in the United States and is about to graduate from university next year. She plans to return to China for development, so she took advantage of this summer vacation to come to Shanghai for an internship and job search.
Isabella especially loves nightlife. Every time Chen Yuang accompanies her for dinner, she would pester him to go to a nightclub. They would often play until late at night and often change different nightclubs in the middle.
Chen Yuang was astonished by her familiarity with Shanghai nightclubs. He felt like a foreigner and people didn't need him as a guide who knew nothing.
After several nightclubs, Chen Yuang felt a little exhausted.
It’s okay to stay up late on duty, but it’s not okay to go to nightclubs.
What made him even more unbearable was the affectionate glances Isabella would often give him.
She has a pair of big European eyes framed by thick black eyeliner, and wavy hair dyed golden with black roots. She exudes the aura of a white woman in her every move.
Whenever she glared at him with her big eyes, he would receive it as if nothing had happened, then raise one corner of his mouth and give him an extremely perfunctory smile, as if to say: I've really had enough.
There has never been a ripple in my heart.
Isabella told her mother about Chen Yuang's indifference, and these words soon reached Chu Yanhong's ears through the card table of her old girlfriends.
Naturally, she was furious.
In fact, Chen Yuang is not opposed to dating like a revolving lantern. He is willing to spend time getting to know these girls.
He did not deny that every girl had her own uniqueness.
Some are uniquely beautiful, some are uniquely exquisite, some are uniquely elegant, and some are uniquely cute... Many of them are pleasing to the eye as friends even if they are not girlfriends.
But once he sees through the empty brains beneath their carefully crafted appearance, he will feel bored and want to stay away from them immediately.
Chu Yanhong was once desperate, thinking that her son was gay. She once instigated Chen Yuang's father Chen Hao to indirectly test the waters, but Chen Yuang keenly noticed her intention and directly denied it.
"I'm making this clear: I'm not gay, I just haven't met the girl I like yet!"
"I've introduced so many things to you, but you don't like them?"
"I don't like it, I don't like any of it!"
"...your mom asked if you like foreign girls, the kind that are tall and strong?"
"I don't know, maybe I like... dogs!"
“???”
This is half a joke. If it weren't for his busy work and irregular schedule, Chen Yuang might really get a dog as a companion.
Chu Yanhong and Chen Hao got together because they started a business together and were deeply financially tied together. Naturally, they would not understand their son's search for love.
Chen Yuang has always insisted that unless he meets a girl who can ignite his love, he would rather be single than be with the wrong person.
He had always thought so before Ni Yue appeared.
