Chapter 61 For example, give me a title.
The car stopped in the downtown area, and before Tan Zhaojing even got out, a crease had already appeared between his eyebrows.
He calmly suppressed his discomfort from the noise and followed the girl into the store.
Business was so good that the place was packed, so the two of them found a table outside.
Lin Zaoyi took the paper menu from the clerk and asked, "Brother Zhaojing, is there anything you don't eat?"
His lips moved, but she didn't hear him clearly. She leaned closer and asked, "What?"
He was hit on the face.
She was taken aback. "Why did you kiss me?"
Tan Zhaojing turned to look at her, "Didn't you lean in so I could kiss you?"
"No, that's not it! I thought you didn't hear me, and I wanted to ask if you have any dietary restrictions."
He calmly replied, "No."
Lin Zaoyi: "?"
An email came in on his phone. Tan Zhaojing lightly touched it with his fingertips, glanced at it casually, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl had puffed out her cheeks, probably annoyed by him.
He reached out and poked her cheek.
puff--
A cute voice escaped from her mouth, but it was quickly drowned out by the noise.
Lin Zaoyi's eyes widened slightly. "What are you doing?"
"I'm letting the gas out of your lungs, in case it explodes."
"...Not funny!"
Guests came in waves.
After seeing off the couple next door, a family of three came in. The little boy was very noisy and started circling the table before he had even sat down for half a minute. The parents were probably used to it and didn't discipline him, but it was tough on Lin Zaoyi. Every time the naughty child came around her, he would either bump into her back or step on her shoes.
On the second occasion, Tan Zhaojing stopped the child and politely reminded the parents.
The boy's father gave a perfunctory reply, calling out his son's name, "Be quiet."
It lasted for no more than ten seconds before starting again.
Just then, the waiter came over with hot water, shouting as he went. We tried to avoid him, but the unruly child kept running around us.
Fearing the child would get burned, the waiter instinctively turned around. Coincidentally, Lin Zaoyi was sitting nearby, and the waiter was focused on the child and didn't see the other guests. With a sharp turn and the teapot being full, the water sprayed straight out of the spout due to inertia.
Too sudden, and too late, Lin Zaoyi instinctively turned her back to avoid the unexpected disaster hitting her face.
However, instead of the expected scalding heat, she was firmly protected.
A soft hiss sounded in my ear, followed by a jarring screech of tables and chairs colliding, and then a flustered apology from the waiter, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Lin Zaoyi was momentarily stunned, but quickly reached behind his shoulder and felt a wet and hot sensation.
"Where's the restroom?!"
The waiter hurriedly pointed in a direction.
A street food stall can't compare to an elegant restaurant. There's an open-air handwashing station, so people don't care about such things at this time. But Tan Zhaojing stopped her from taking off her shirt. "I'm not used to exposing my body in public."
I'm so dizzy.
"Special circumstances".
"That won't work either."
She was so anxious, but he still cared about this. She could only cup her hands and pour water little by little onto his back, trying to cool him down.
The boss rushed over with ice packs and kept apologizing. The waiter's eyes were already red. Lin Zaoyi wanted to confront him, but what did it have to do with the waiter? However, she had to have a serious talk with the parents of the unruly child.
Her hands were encircled, and she instinctively looked down. The man wedged his fingertips between her fingers and held them tightly.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she silently shook her head at him.
Tan Zhaojing understood perfectly well: "I'm here, don't be afraid, let's go eat."
He held her hand the whole way, and perhaps his words had an effect; her heart, which had been in suspense, slowly calmed down, and she unconsciously returned his grip.
Tan Zhaojing's lips curved into a smile; at least that was enough.
When they reached their seats, the family of three had already vanished.
Lin Zaoyi chuckled. With parents like that, it's no wonder the child is so unruly.
She picked up her handbag and said, "Let's go to the hospital."
The man replied dismissively, "No need."
"No, I have to go."
In the end, they didn't listen to each other and went home.
Following the principle of proximity, the driver took the car to Tan Zhaojing's residence in Jingwan.
The man stood motionless at the door. At first, Lin Zaoyi thought something was wrong, but after waiting a few seconds without any movement, she asked, puzzled, "Why aren't you opening the door?"
Tan Zhaojing: "My hand hurts, I can't move it."
Lin Zaoyi didn't believe a word of it. He was burned, not crippled. She endured it for the sake of her injury.
"What's the password?"
Then I heard him say, "427427".
The number instantly triggered her memory, and her outstretched finger froze in mid-air. He did it on purpose, not setting any number, but that very night.
A soft voice fell on my ear, "It was deliberately changed, to remind me."
Knowing there was a trap, she still couldn't resist jumping in. "What am I warning you about?"
The man said calmly, "We can't let them take advantage of us for nothing."
Lin Zaoyi stopped answering the questions and quietly entered the numbers. She opened the door, took out the medicine box barefoot, and left.
Tan Zhaojing lowered his eyelids and said, "Go put on your shoes. The blue pair is yours."
Lin Zaoyi opened her mouth, but realized that saying anything at this moment was not as good as keeping quiet. She went back to the entrance hall, opened the shoe cabinet, and the pair of blue slippers he was talking about lay quietly in the middle shelf.
Silently, she picked up her clothes and put them on, saying, "Take your clothes off."
"Come here."
She paused, then stood there motionless.
After a tense standoff of about ten seconds, Tan Zhaojing spoke slowly, "Do you want me to freeze to death, or do you want me to die from pain?"
"……without."
"Then come over here and take it off."
Lin Zaoyi stopped dawdling and sat down in front of him, reaching her hand towards his collar. As the buttons were undone one by one, the man's well-defined abdominal muscles came into full view.
She didn't linger. She moved behind him, gently pulled down his shirt, and exposed his well-defined, muscular back.
Soon, my gaze was drawn to the skin on my shoulder blade, and my breath hitched.
Blisters have already formed in just a short time.
It felt like something very light and gentle had tapped my heart, leaving me with a bittersweet feeling, and I wanted to cry.
Tan Zhaojing turned around and gently scraped the corner of her eye with his fingertip. "It doesn't hurt."
Lin Zaoyi pursed her lips, "How could it not hurt?"
He chuckled softly, his voice low and deep, "If I say it hurts, will you soften?"
As he asked the question, he moved closer to her lips and lightly touched them, saying, "For example, give me a title."
What kind of time is this to still be thinking about romance?
Lin Zaoyi looked down and rummaged through the medicine box, pulling out sterile gauze to cover the wound. "Get dressed, let's go to the hospital."
It was rare for her to be firm in front of him, so she said, "I have to go."
Tan Zhaojing raised an eyebrow silently, then let out a low chuckle, "Alright, as you wish."
I went to the emergency room at night.
Lin Zaoyi stood by the nurse the whole time, her eyes aching from watching, but the person in question remained expressionless, as if she had facial paralysis.
He turned his gaze, a nonchalant smile appearing on his face. "Feeling sorry for her?"
Not knowing what to say, but not saying anything wouldn't be good either, so Lin Zaoyi sincerely said, "Thank you."
Tan Zhaojing slightly raised her lips, "Thank you is worthless."
Lin Zaoyi glanced at him. "So what do you want to do?"
"Let me think about it."
He seemed to be seriously considering it, and after two seconds gave his reply: "I will repay you with my body."
Finally, he added, "Wasn't it always like this in ancient times?"
Girls in ancient times weren't so careless.
Lin Zaoyi gave him three words: "Dream on."
