Chapter 105 Really not giving it a try?
Pei Xiang looked confused: "I know you have a boyfriend, is there a conflict?"
Knowing she has a partner, she still acts like this, so brazenly.
Lin Yao decided to be more explicit: "So don't come to the hospital to keep me company every day, and don't call me brother. It's too ambiguous and inappropriate."
He finds it difficult to say such a direct refusal.
The other party is still a young girl, but dragging things out isn't a solution.
In particular, when Xie Xingchen just stared at him without saying a word, his heavy gaze falling on him, it sent chills down his spine.
Pei Xiang suddenly smiled, looking knowing: "Oh, you're afraid your boyfriend will misunderstand."
Lin Yao subtly sensed something was wrong: "Do you know who it is?"
“I know,” Pei Xiang said in a low voice. “We just greeted each other at the door. He brought me in, and the condition was that I would absolutely support him becoming your husband.”
Lin Yao: ""
In other words, Miss Pei had no feelings for him at all; she was simply calling him "brother" out of seniority because he had become her godfather.
His unwavering expression cracked.
Pei Xiang continued to praise, "You two are a perfect match. I like this brother-in-law."
Lin Yao: "......."
Stop talking, stop talking.
Lin Yao closed his eyes, feeling so embarrassed he wanted to jump off a building. It was so shameful.
It's all Xie Xingchen's fault. He knew he was misunderstanding, but he still pretended to be watching the show.
Meanwhile, the instigator casually chimed in from the side, "If Miss Pei really wants to come and see her brother more often, she can come over for half an hour every day, no problem."
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Yao reopened his eyes, met his gaze coldly, and his eyes were like knives.
You bastard, you're finished.
Pei Xiang turned to Lin Yao: "May I?"
"Xiangxiang has been thinking about you a lot." Lin Han smiled gently. "She even took three days off from school."
"Okay." Lin Yao squeezed out two words expressionlessly, feeling like he wanted to die just thinking about the blunder earlier. "But let's call it a day, I'm tired."
“Okay, then we’ll come again tomorrow.” Pei Xiang got up sensibly and placed the large bag of gifts on the bedside table.
"Then I..." Xie Xingchen was interrupted after only two words.
Lin Yao didn't even bother to act: "Get lost."
Xie Xingchen clicked his tongue softly. Sigh, I've really annoyed him.
He Li added insult to injury, saying, "See? Even if you save Brother Yao, you can forget about getting a good look from him. Come back tomorrow, see you later."
He took it all for granted and arrogantly pushed Xie Xingchen out, then turned around to boast, "Brother Yao, you can rest easy, I won't let them in."
Xie Xingchen: "........."
So you're saying you have to enter a lottery to find a boyfriend now? That's ridiculous.
He lay back down on the next bed, reaching out to give the nurse the sedative while texting Lin Yao to ask for reconciliation.
【xxc】: I was wrong. Let's find a place where no one can see us. Go ahead and hit me.
【01】：：
[xxc]: Seriously, I absolutely won't dodge, I'll wait until you've vented your anger.
【01】：No
[xxc]: Then tonight I'll turn over and try to please you, to make you happier?
【01】: Roll
"Stop laughing. Your hormones are unstable, and you're not feeling well today." The nurse checked the records on the monitor and reminded her, "Don't run around. The third day is the most critical period for infection, and you might experience hallucinations. Be careful, and press the call button if you feel unwell."
Xie Xingchen nodded: "Okay."
Then send the nurse's voice message that I just pressed to Lin Yao exactly as it was.
[xxc]: Did you hear that? All my abnormal behavior today was because of the infection period.
【01】：Nonsense
[xxc]: Seriously, I felt dizzy when I woke up this morning, and I didn't sleep well either. I'm still sleepy now.
[xxc]: What if something unexpected happens after the surgery?
[xxc]: A couple of days ago, He Li mentioned some ancient Buddha statue or something. We'll take some time to go and pray to the Bodhisattva for blessings.
【01】：Playing the victim again
From a period, one word, to three words, my heart softened.
Xie Xingchen's lips curled slightly. He placed the back of his hand on his forehead, which was a little hot. He then shifted to a lying position and sent a message to report his progress.
[xxc]: I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'm going to take a nap.
【01】: Hmm
Xie Xingchen put his phone aside, closed his eyes, and quickly drifted back into a light sleep.
He has dreamt of this scene countless times in the past few days.
He was lying there in an isolation room, next to a child who was very thin and pale, with dark eyes and a small mole on the tip of his nose.
"Draw blood." Someone said.
He heard the boy next to him making muffled noises, probably from when the needle went in. It hurt a lot, but he was biting his lower lip to endure it, and all that could be heard was his breathing like a broken bellows.
"This is the ninth time already, I hope it will succeed."
"People have different fates. If all this research and development is useless, this child will really suffer."
Xie Xingchen heard people talking. He turned his head and his gaze swept over the thick needle that was drawing blood. He felt pain as it pierced his flesh.
The image was fixed on that small mole, swaying precariously, and somehow it transformed into Lin Yao's face.
He spoke softly, his eyes filled with pain: "Save me... I'm in pain..."
Xie Xingchen felt as if he had been suddenly stabbed in the heart, and he opened his eyes abruptly, drenched in sweat.
He had an accident when he was a child, and his childhood memories are not very clear. He probably experienced hallucinations or stimulation after being infected. This is the first time he has clearly perceived reality.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the bulging veins on his arm, where he could still feel the pain of blood being injected through the tiny needle.
Xie Xingchen pulled out his phone from under his pillow. He had actually slept for six hours and it was already late at night. The screen showed a message from Lin Yao that had been sent half an hour earlier.
【01】: Still not awake?
【xxc】: Just woke up, had a dream
【01】: What did you dream about?
Xie Xingchen raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, bent his knees, and directly opened the video call with him.
Lin Yao answered the phone. Because only the bedside lamp was on, the isolation ward was dimly lit, with only a halo of yellow light illuminating his silhouette. He had probably just woken up; the buttons on his collar were loose, revealing a large expanse of skin.
Xie Xingchen felt that the panic from the nightmare had subsided somewhat.
It was just a dream. It must be because I was recently hospitalized with an infection, and then the incident at Lin Yao's lab came together.
"What did you dream about?" Lin Yao asked again, still asking the same question.
"Why does your face look so red? Are you hot?" Xie Xingchen didn't answer his question directly, but just stared at him. "Your neck is red too. Did you call a nurse to take your temperature?"
Lin Yao hadn't expected him to be so observant, and vaguely replied, "I measured it. Director Cheng said that this is normal in the middle stage of infection."
Xie Xingchen especially enjoyed seeing him shy: "Describe it, how does it feel?"
Lin Yao moved his lips: "That's all."
"What? I don't understand." Xie Xingchen sat up a little, his tone softening. "Director Cheng reminded me yesterday that we can't run into each other, or it will ruin our harmony."
Lin Yaoxin thought to himself, "I was clearly asking about his dream, so why did the focus get swayed again?"
He lowered his eyes and coughed lightly: "I didn't ask you to come."
Xie Xingchen stared at his subtle expression and said with great interest, "You can learn from me, learn what I did yesterday. You've seen me, now it's my turn to see you, it's fair."
Lin Yao's ears were practically burning, but his expression remained indifferent: "What's going on in your head all day?"
"What can an Alpha's brain possibly contain during the infection period? Besides, you yourself said these are normal symptoms, and you have them too. Is it a case of 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps'?"
That's utterly unreasonable.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have anything on his mind, Lin Yao said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about it."
Xie Xingchen exclaimed "Hey!" and moved closer to the camera, his facial features suddenly magnified, causing Lin Yao's heart to skip a beat.
Even though we were quite far apart, it felt like he was whispering in my ear.
It's like bewitching.
"Really don't want to give it a try? I can provide you with remote guidance."
