A smile that could launch a thousand ships
Four more days passed, and this time Ling Yan's injury was completely healed.
He was already able to get down on his own, and then walked to the small garden to stay by Lin Zhihan's side and paint with her for a while.
Of course, Ling Shao's work as a nude model mainly took place in bed.
Even though it was just a half-body drawing, it was enough to excite Lin Zhihan for a long time.
He was her muse, her source of inspiration. Whenever he was incorporated into her paintings, even the most ordinary landscapes, flowers, and birds were imbued with a spiritual quality.
"Ling Yan, do you know that since you came along, my output has doubled?"
Not only have I completed my midterm assignments, but I am also full of confidence for the final exams.
Ling Yan, you are truly my muse~
"I like you so much~" Lin Zhihan held a paintbrush, coloring the boy in the painting while generously praising her 'boyfriend' beside her.
"My pleasure."
Ling Yan is so gentle; he's been gentle ever since he first woke up.
Lin Zhihan even wondered how a boy with such a good temper could have gotten a gunshot wound.
It must have been an accidental injury.
My frail and helpless boyfriend.
It was determined to be puppy love.
After all, at this age, they should be working hard in school.
But he was so good, yet he didn't claim him as his own beforehand.
Wouldn't she be struck by lightning?
"Ling Yan~" Lin Zhihan called him sweetly.
"Hmm." The aloof male god is indeed aloof.
But the smile on his face couldn't lie.
He probably agreed to be her boyfriend because he liked her.
It's not something I can't repay.
Hmph, in short, Lin Zhihan happily accepted this handsome young man who seemed to have fallen from the sky like an angel.
"By the way, in another week, I'll be going back to Fancheng with my teacher. After summer vacation, I'll be going to an international high school. What about you?"
"Where do you go to school?" Lin Zhihan blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes.
"If your school is too far from ours, then we'll be in a long-distance relationship."
That would be very tiring.
I don't want my boyfriend, whom I finally managed to win back, to be coveted by other girls at school.
After all, you're so outstanding.
Ling Yan~
Why don't you transfer to an international school too?
"Okay, please~" Lin Zhihan has become more and more familiar with Ling Yan recently. He has a good temper, so it's easy for her to act cute and charming occasionally.
Later, Ye Yunran, an unlicensed doctor, came to give Ling Yan a follow-up examination.
It is said that as long as he doesn't do anything reckless like taking a bath before his injury is fully healed, he should be able to live to be a hundred years old.
The bullet was only 1 cm away from his heart. If he hadn't instinctively dodged it, and hadn't ruthlessly pulled out the bullet in the first instant, he would have been saved.
His young life is probably buried underground now, serving as fertilizer for Lin Zhihan's grandmother's little garden.
Ye Yunran also has a sense of humor.
To ensure that Ling Yan might still need this quack doctor in the future, Lin Zhihan insisted that Ye Yunran add Ling Yan as a friend.
Although, Ling Yan's way of adding friends is rather unique.
At least Lin Zhihan had never seen it.
It was a necklace hanging around his neck.
It looks like a ring necklace, but it actually has a communication function.
Ling Yan's silver ring touched Ye Yunran's phone, and they were already friends.
What kind of futuristic high technology is this?
Lin Zhihan also touched Ling Yan's ring with her phone, but it didn't react. However, a new black profile picture appeared in her friend list.
Lin Zhihan even opened it and typed out a message.
Then he looked up and asked Ling Yan beside him.
What did I just say?
Ling Yan chuckled softly. Before he could make any move, Lin Zhihan's phone chimed with a new message:
Right below the message she sent to Ling Yan:
Can you see me?
The reply below was a cool and aloof one:
"Um."
Lin Zhihan almost jumped up.
Then give me a call now.
She had barely finished speaking when her own phone rang.
Lin Zhihan even went to a place quite far away from Ling Yan before pressing the call button:
It's me.
"Wow~~~" Lin Zhihan excitedly ran back, looking at the stunningly handsome young man in front of her with admiration, and said in a gesture of looking up at him:
"What kind of emerging human being are you? I really want one like you."
"Is it okay, Brother Ling?" Lin Zhihan blinked her big eyes.
Such a small thing, yet she had to resort to such a seductive scheme.
"receive!
Stop being so cutesy, I'm afraid I'll throw up if I eat too much at lunch.
"And you, girl, when you were begging me, why didn't you call me 'Brother Ye'?" The childhood sweetheart was jealous again.
I stared at the two people who clearly had something wrong with them, my eyes aching.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't bother me unless it's a matter of life and death. If it is, go to my grandpa, dad, or brother. I don't have a medical license."
Although I am not yet 16 years old, practicing medicine without a license is still illegal.
Waaaaah~
Young Master Ling, Miss Lin, please spare my life!
Young Master Ye, who had been kicked away by Lin Zhihan, rolled away.
After that, and in the days to come, Ye Yunran became Ling Yan's personal unlicensed doctor.
To ease his troubled conscience, Ling Yan even arranged for him to have a fake medical license and work at an unlicensed hospital.
Yes, it's a hospital that belongs exclusively to Ye Yunran.
It exists completely independently of the Ye Family Hospital.
Ling Yan used to draw Ye Yunran's portraits, which was a place where he could practice his medical skills when he was bored.
Of course, there are readily available test subjects: people who have been shot and cannot show their faces, and international suspects.
This led Ye Yunran down the path of unorthodox medicine at a very young age. So much so that when he finally realized he had little talent in painting and turned to the medical field, he was hailed by the various hospitals in the academy as a genius even more so than his brother and father.
I have to thank Young Master Ling for all of this.
After Ye Yunran finally obtained the medical practice certificate issued to him by the government at the age of 18, he gritted his teeth and cursed Ling Yan and his entire family.
However, Ye Yunran is completely unaware that she has already been dragged onto a pirate ship.
He assumed that if they didn't contact each other or meet, he would act as if nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, those who can join Ling Shao's Silver Ring, the future heir of the Ling family, are all part of his Ling empire's plan.
Including the little girl in front of him who was still asking for his silver ring necklace.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll use this for my future proposals, okay?" Ling Yan teased her deliberately.
"You—what nonsense are you spouting?"
"What marriage proposal? I'm only 14 years old, you—" Lin Zhihan was so shocked that she was somewhat incoherent.
"In ancient times, girls could get married at the age of 15 after their coming-of-age ceremony. You're 14 now, so how about I propose to you a year from now?"
Lin Zhihan: ……
The hand reaching for the silver ring around Ling Yan's neck suddenly trembled.
"Brother, this is the 21st century. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years."
Is this a hybrid of old and new humans living in ancient times or the future?
Lin Zhihan was completely bewildered.
If you call him an ancient person, he possesses advanced technology that no one else has ever seen; if you call him modern, he doesn't speak while eating or sleeping, and acts with the dignified air of an emperor's son.
He was 15 years old when he came of age and asked for her hand in marriage.
Wow.
"Brother, can't you be normal for once?"
"We're still dating too early!" Dating too early is already against the rules, let alone proposing marriage.
May a bolt of lightning strike me dead!
"Okay, I understand. Here, take mine first." With that, Ling Yan took off the silver ring around his neck and offered it to her.
"Don't move!" Lin Zhihan grabbed Ling Yan's hand.
"Wait until I'm 15, then I'll wait for you to... you know~~~" Lin Zhihan practically smacked her lips.
Ling Yan chuckled softly, but the laughter aggravated her wound.
"Don't move. Let me help you back to your room. You're only just starting to feel better; you should rest in bed."
If you want to see me draw, I'll move into your room to keep you company, Ling Yan~
"It breaks my heart that you're always getting hurt." Lin Zhihan pouted.
She carefully helped her boyfriend back into the house.
Then I sat down on the edge of his bed, which was also the edge of hers.
She looked at him with concern.
"How about it
Does it still hurt?
Do you want some water? Or, I can blow on it for you~
Ling Yan couldn't help but laugh again: "Okay, let's blow on it."
Lin Zhihan gritted her teeth, leaned close to Ling Yan, carefully unbuttoned the buttons on his chest, and then gently breathed on his injured area.
"Hmm~" Ling Yan groaned softly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I'll call Ye Yunran right now." The little girl panicked immediately.
His every smile and gesture captivated her; this feeling was so novel.
He likes
"No need, Zhihan, I'm fine." Ling Yan smiled gently. He had received more care in the past seven days than he had in the past seven years.
So this is what it feels like to be valued.
He could be cared for like this, it turns out.
Injuries of this severity are commonplace at the base.
But suddenly he became spoiled.
Even a muffled groan could make her tense as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I feel much better, thank you Zhihan for the comforting words."
In those seven days, he learned many of her unique little girl pronouns.
girlfriend.
What a unique feeling.
The sweetest moment in 14 years.
It seems he needs to speed things up; should he go to her middle school?
“Zhihan,”
"Um"
"If—and I mean if—I changed my appearance, would you still recognize me?" the boy asked somewhat nervously.
"Um
"You're going to get plastic surgery?" Lin Zhihan exclaimed in surprise.
Some asked incredulously:
"Don't tell me you're so beautiful all from plastic surgery!" The girl's eyes widened; if he dared to say yes, it would be an unbearable burden for her.
“No, I mean,” Ling Yan bit his lip, a slight red mark appearing on his thin, moist lips.
Lin Zhihan became a little anxious, "Don't bite me! I didn't even have the heart to bite you!"
Pooh!
What are you thinking?
"What I mean is that my identity is actually a bit special. My family is hunting me down. If I show up at school looking like this, they will definitely recognize me."
What I mean is…
"No, no!" Lin Zhihan grabbed Ling Yan's arm. "You're so beautiful, I don't want you to become ordinary or ugly. I can't bear it. You know all my painting inspiration comes from you."
"If you change, I..." Before she could say anything, Lin Zhihan started crying for him.
"Don't rush, Zhihan, I mean makeup, disguise."
It won't really hurt you.
"Don't worry." The boy reassured him gently.
"Really?" Lin Zhihan blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking aggrieved.
"Of course, I'm not that stupid."
Lin Zhihan sobbed, "That's good. I'll recognize you, Ling Yan, I promise."
The girl clenched her fist firmly.
“I knew Zhihan would recognize me,” the boy smiled at her again.
A smile that could topple a city.
