85. How to wear your boyfriend’s shirt
After a day of working in a daze, Ling Ling made an appointment with Hao Shengnan to practice fighting in the evening. Ever since the Lin Kun case, Ling Ling would squeeze out time every week to go to the fighting gym to practice core strength and boxing, no matter how busy she was. Only in this way could she feel safe enough, and she wanted to train to the level where she could subdue an ordinary adult man. Hao Shengnan saw that Ling Ling was not in a good state today, and after repeated questioning, Ling Ling told her about the quarrel between Xinhua and Qingshi yesterday. Ling Ling never wanted to mention Xinhua and Qingshi in front of Shengnan, because when they were in college, it was Shengnan who fell in love with Ren Qingshi first. In the dormitory, she was like a fangirl, talking about Ren Qingshi's talent and modesty all day long, which made the female classmates in the dormitory curious about this boy. Lingling and Xinhua urged Shengnan to bring her idol to see their "parents" to screen her. Having infiltrated Ren Qingshi's literary club, Shengnan found an opportunity to invite him out for a meal in the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, this meal led to Qingshi and Xinhua's marriage. Hao Shengnan's stance remained unchanged. She always believed Rong Xinhua was a green tea whore, exploiting her beauty to steal other people's boyfriends, and she held a deep grudge against her. "I told you Rong Xinhua was a green tea, but you see, she's gotten older and her moisture has dried up, and she's starting to become a scumbag, right?" Hao Shengnan scolded Rong Xinhua, never holding back. Ling Ling didn't want to dwell on the topic. "Hey, they both have a child in elementary school now. Can't you let go of the past?" "Their relationship was a mistake from the start. Ren Qingshi is both proud and weak. If he doesn't escape Rong Xinhua's clutches, she'll surely torture him. In the end, his talent, dignity, and character will all be ruined." As Sheng Nan spoke these words, his eyes flickered with pity as he gazed into the distance. Ling Ling waved his boxing gloves in front of her and warned her, "Alright, let go of the past. Put your fists up! Come on!" Sheng Nan threw a swift punch, but fortunately Ling Ling dodged quickly, otherwise she would have been bruised and battered. *~*~*~*~*~*~~ As Ling Ling entered the house, she dropped her boxing gloves and backpack on the floor. She was completely exhausted after being tortured by Hao Shengnan that night at the fight gym. She kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the bed, barely catching her last breath. Yu Chuanbei came over and lay beside her, considerately smoothing her dark hair that spread down her back. "I'm on a business trip tomorrow, going to Guizhou to look after a project. I won't be back until next week." "Oh." Ling Ling replied perfunctorily, not even opening her eyes. "Still unhappy?" "Yeah. With Hao Shengnan...
After a day of drowsy work, Ling Ling made an appointment with Hao Shengnan to go to the fighting gym for a fight practice that evening. Ever since the Lin Kun case, Ling Ling, no matter how busy she was, would squeeze out time every week to go to the fighting gym to practice core strength and boxing. Only this would give her enough sense of security. She wanted to train to a level where she could subdue an ordinary adult man.
Seeing that Ling Ling was not in a good state again today, Hao Shengnan asked her repeatedly, and Ling Ling told her about the quarrel between Xinhua and Qingshi yesterday.
Ling Ling never mentioned Xin Hua and Qing Shi to Sheng Nan. It was Sheng Nan who first fell for Ren Qing Shi back in college, and in the dormitory, she acted like a fangirl, constantly raving about his talent and humility, arousing the curiosity of the other girls. Ling Ling and Xin Hua urged Sheng Nan to bring her crush to meet them, their "parents," to screen him. Sheng Nan, who had infiltrated Ren Qing Shi's literary club, found an opportunity to invite him out for a meal in the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, this meal led to Qing Shi and Xinhua's marriage.
Hao Shengnan's stance has never changed. She has always felt that Rong Xinhua was a green tea bitch who relied on her looks to steal other people's girls, so she held a deep grudge against her.
"I said Rong Xinhua was a green tea. Look, she's gotten older and her moisture has evaporated. She's starting to become a scumbag, right?" Hao Shengnan never held back when scolding Rong Xinhua.
Ling Ling didn't want to dwell on this topic with her. "Hey, their children are both in elementary school now. Can't you let go of the knot in your heart from the past?"
"It was a mistake for them to be together from the very beginning. Ren Qingshi is aloof but weak. If he doesn't escape from Rong Xinhua's clutches in this life, he will definitely be abused by her. In the end, all his talent, dignity, and personality will be destroyed." When Sheng Nan said these words, his eyes flashed with pity as he looked into the distance.
Ling Ling waved her boxing gloves in front of her and reminded her, "Alright, let go of the past and raise your fists! Come on!"
Sheng Nan threw a punch swiftly, but fortunately Ling Ling dodged it quickly, otherwise she would have been bruised.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
As soon as Ling Ling entered the house, she dropped her boxing gloves and backpack on the floor. She was completely exhausted after being beaten badly by Hao Shengnan at the fighting gym that night. She kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the bed, barely catching her last breath.
Yu Chuanbei came over, lay beside her, and considerately smoothed her black hair that spread down her back.
"I'm on a business trip tomorrow to Guizhou to look after a project, and I won't be back until next week."
"Oh." Ling Ling responded perfunctorily without even opening her eyes.
"Aren't you happy yet?"
"Yeah. After arguing with Hao Shengnan all night, I'm even more confused."
Seeing her listless look, Yu Chuanbei combed his fingertips through her long hair and said in a low voice, "Indeed, from lovers to husband and wife, feelings will gradually fade. The idea in youth that you can rely on your own wisdom to obtain endless love will be hit and shattered. Perhaps many couples will be like this: from carefully choosing every word of love, to bickering at the slightest disagreement, to living together all day without wanting to say anything more. Perhaps no matter how hard we try, we can't avoid this, watching our relationship go from vibrant to lifeless. But - if my entire life is destined to go through this process, I only hope to experience it with you."
Ling Ling opened her eyes and looked at him, and saw the determination flashing in his bright eyes.
Yes, why should she be anxious or confused? No matter what she will experience in the future, doesn't she also hope that the person by her side will always be him?
Ling Ling turned sideways and snuggled into his arms, and they hugged each other tightly.
"Think of me when you leave tomorrow," she said.
"I've started thinking about it now," he said.
The morning sun bathed the bed. Ling Ling felt her side. Yu Chuanbei was no longer there. She thought he had left. Unable to find her pajamas, she put on the white shirt he had left by the bed the previous night.
She lazily walked to the living room and was delighted to see Yu Chuanbei in a neat suit, a silver-blue tie, his hair meticulously combed. He looked aloof and aloof, with an air of heroism. He was buttoning his cuffs, and a glance at his serious profile captivated her.
She walked around the marble dining table and walked slowly in front of him, her fingertips lightly tracing his strong collar. "Have I ever told you that you look particularly handsome in a suit?"
Her fingertips traced the collar of his suit to his chest, making him feel itchy. "Have I ever told you that all my handsomeness is for you to see?"
Ling Ling heard him say this and smiled playfully: "If you step out of the house, won't all the women be able to see you?"
"But I can only see you. Unfortunately, I have to go to the airport. I miss you already." Although he spoke words of pure love, his hands began to grope dishonestly on her loose shirt.
"I don't want you to leave either." Her delicate arms climbed up his neck.
"But you can only come back if you leave." He pinched her waist with both hands, wanting to keep everything under his control.
"Okay then, my poet." Ling Ling withdrew her arm, and seeing that he really seemed to have something important to do, she wanted to let him go.
But Yu Chuanbei reluctantly pulled her back to his side, kissing her neck with a sticky kiss. His loose shirt slowly slid down, exposing her snow-white shoulders. He reached inside, but found nothing. At this moment, she had pushed the level of temptation to its limit. His heart suddenly sank, and his mind collapsed.
He sucked her lips madly, and she couldn't resist and stepped back, retreating to the marble dining table.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" She pressed her slender palm against his chest, trying to wake him up.
"No need to rush now." He enjoyed the moment of indulgence and lifted her onto the marble table. Ling Ling shrank back and cried out, "It's cold."
He held her tightly in his arms, stroking her to comfort her. Her body gradually relaxed in his arms, and his suit suddenly became disheveled.
In the early morning of late spring, the sunlight was thin. She leaned back, the shining halo dancing before her eyes. She called his name over and over again, and he responded with passionate kisses.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yu Chuanbei finally found time to call Ling Ling the day after he arrived in Guizhou, but he couldn't reach her. He kept calling her all night, but she still didn't respond, and he became increasingly restless.
He had no choice but to call Luo Hao.
Luo Hao said, "I heard from a colleague in Group A that Ling Ling received a call from home this afternoon and immediately bought a train ticket back home. A colleague helped her set up the process in the office system. I don't know what happened at home."
This news did not ease Yu Chuanbei's worries. He continued to call her phone, which had been turned off by the voice prompt. He did this countless times before the call finally got through!
"Hello?" Thank God, he could finally hear her voice again!
"Lingling, where are you now?!" Yu Chuanbei said anxiously.
Ling Ling's voice on the other end of the line was heavily nasal. "I'm back in Hebei. I was on the road the whole time and didn't have a chance to check my phone. I didn't even know it was out of battery."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"I... my cousin... do you still remember I told you about my cousin? His name is Ling Letong." Ling Ling spoke with a crying voice.
"Remember, you said that after your parents passed away, you lived with your uncle and aunt, and only your cousin treated you the best."
"He's terminally ill now." Ling Ling finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer after saying this. "It's liver cancer... The doctors no longer recommend treatment. Today they told me to take him home and prepare for his funeral..."
Yu Chuanbei felt his heart ache as he listened to her sobbing. "Send me the location of your home, I'll go there now."
"No, that's not necessary." Ling Ling sniffed a few times and insisted, "Didn't you say the project we were going to Guizhou to see was very important? I can handle it here."
"Nothing is more important than you, especially at a time like this. I'll go over and accompany you."
"No, just focus on your work and don't worry about me. I can handle it on my own." Ling Ling was still stubborn. "I just need to calm down. I still have a lot of things to arrange. I'm in the hospital now. The doctor just called me. I won't talk to you for now."
Ling Ling hung up the phone, and Yu Chuanbei couldn't get through when he called again. He knew this girl's decision was hard to shake. He thought, Ling Ling's tenacity should be able to support her, and what she needed more now was a doctor.
He called a doctor friend he knew and worked with them to come up with a plan to help Lingling's cousin.
Finally, the most suitable candidate was found: a chief hepatobiliary surgeon from a tertiary hospital in Beijing who happened to be doing medical volunteer work in rural Hebei. He was now near Lingling's hometown and could rush over to help with diagnosis and treatment within two days - his name was Zhong Mingtong.
