Let's talk
Lin Shanglu and Chu Zhenghe parted ways unpleasantly, but Lin Shanglu did not forget his original intention. He followed Chu Zhenghe all the way to the door of Jiang Shiyu's ward and insisted on taking Chen Nanxing away.
Qin Enyu is now furious when he sees Lin Shanglu, and wishes he could stab him to death with one punch.
Jiang Shiyu was lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet. Chen Nanxing was still a little scared. She really couldn't imagine that Lin Shanglu could be so cruel and unscrupulous as to attack a child.
At the same time, Chen Nanxing was also very clear that the purpose of Lin Shanglu doing this was to force her to bow her head and submit.
She only had a few days left to live, and Chen Nanxing didn't want to die in that rotten and smelly marriage, but she also didn't want to implicate Qin Enyu.
Chen Nanxing grabbed Qin Enyu who was ready to strike, and followed suit by bringing up Jiang Shiyu to restrain her:
"Zhi Xu, please don't. I can do it myself. Yi Yi still needs you to watch over me here."
In terms of emotion and reason, Qin Enyu has done enough for her.
Qin Enyu respects everyone's choice, but she knows Chen Nanxing's character well and is afraid that Chen Nanxing will be hurt by Lin Shanglu again, so she dare not let Chen Nanxing face Lin Shanglu alone.
It was only after Chu Zhenghe came to persuade her, and Chen Nanxing did not insist, that Qin Enyu finally felt relieved. Before leaving, she whispered to Chen Nanxing to call the police if anything went wrong.
Chen Nanxing smiled and nodded. After closing the door of Jiang Shiyu's ward, he lowered his head and walked towards the elevator in silence.
After she left, Lin Shanglu didn't stay either, and followed Chen Nanxing away.
Just as he was about to leave the hospital lobby, Lin Shanglu suddenly stopped:
"How's the wound on your forehead?"
Chen Nanxing pursed her lips and pretended to be dumb. Her intention to refuse to speak was obvious. Lin Shanglu didn't care whether she wanted to or not. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
"I asked you how the wound on your forehead is?"
There were people coming and going in the hospital. Due to her personality, Chen Nanxing was not used to such intimate actions in public. She lowered her eyes and used her other hand to push away Lin Shanglu's restraints.
"It's okay, just a few stitches."
Lin Shanglu didn't believe what she said, and with his arm across her waist, he forced her to take Chen Nanxing to see a doctor.
"I'm worried. Come with me for a checkup."
If this was the test, then Chen Nanxing had just received his diagnosis report not long ago. If other tests were needed, Chen Nanxing felt it was unnecessary.
"I told you not to. I just got checked out and I have a mild concussion."
After hearing about the slight concussion, Lin Shanglu dragged Chen Nanxing even harder:
"Why are you still out here with a concussion? Go to the hospital. I'll take you home when you're cured."
“…”
I said it was a mild concussion. Did the word "mild" mean it was eaten by a ghost?
Chen Nanxing licked his lips, which were chapped from not drinking water for a long time. He was too tired to talk, which gave Lin Shanglu room to speak:
"You're still like this, saving someone you don't care about yourself at all. Do you think that's a bumper car? Huh? You just crashed into it without saying a word! Do you know how worried I was about you when I saw the video?"
It would be fine if we didn't mention this, but as soon as we mention Chen Nanxing, we will think of his suicidal behavior of walking on the edge of the law and the innocent Jiang Shiyu who was hurt.
"Why would you tie her up if she's not your business?"
Her delicate eyebrows knitted together, and she began to get angry without warning.
What for? To get Qin Enyu away from her, and to make Qin Mo, the second young master of the Qin family, remember a big favor for him, this was such a straightforward calculation.
As long as he accomplishes this, he will be the beneficiary in every way.
Lin Shanglu didn't know where to start for a moment, so he simply stopped talking and pulled Chen Nanxing back without saying a word. He was determined to make sure Chen Nanxing stayed in the hospital's themed ward today.
Maybe she had gotten used to being with young people of Ji Chuan's age during this period, so she developed some rebellious psychology, or maybe she was really fed up with Lin Shanglu's behavior. In short, Chen Nanxing didn't want to let Lin Shanglu do whatever he wanted, and she was also practicing this in her actions.
Lin Shanglu was committed to bringing Chen Nanxing in, but Chen Nanxing, in turn, was trying to struggle out of Lin Shanglu's arms and go outside.
But the size difference between the two was there, and Chen Nanxing had just experienced a car accident. Not only could she not break free, but the force she exerted made her dizzy again.
"Let me go, my head hurts."
They had been entangled in the hospital lobby for so long that they had attracted the attention of many people. Those vague gazes falling on Chen Nanxing made Chen Nanxing completely embarrassed. She seemed to have given up resistance and shrank into Lin Shanglu's arms, as if this could isolate her from the outside world's gaze.
"Headache?"
Lin Shanglu touched Chen Nanxing's head, and became more determined to go and get Chen Nanxing admitted to the hospital:
"You are not in good health. I feel more at ease if you are hospitalized for treatment."
"The doctor said I don't need to be hospitalized. I just need to rest for a few days."
Chen Nanxing explained in a low voice, seemingly having lost all her strength and ability. Her nerves were already tired from being tense for so long, and now her head ached, and her whole body felt unwell. She could only barely stand here, relying on her hand supporting Lin Shanglu's lower arm.
Lin Shanglu looked at Chen Nanxing suspiciously, discerning the emotions on her face. Seeing that she wasn't trying to be brave, he called it a day. However, he still insisted on taking Chen Nanxing back.
"Okay, I'll take you home to rest."
Chen Nanxing was almost led out by Lin Shanglu. She didn't say anything until she was out of the hospital. She then pried away Lin Shanglu's hand on her waist and refused to go back.
"I'm not going. I don't want to go back."
“…”
Lin Shanglu ripped off his tie and unbuttoned his sleeves, ready to force himself on Chen Nanxing. But just as he was about to strike, he saw Chen Nanxing's paper-thin body, covered in blood...
She was already very thin the last time I saw her. How come she has become thinner after such a long time?
He was so thin that he looked like he was suffering from a terminal illness and didn't have much time left.
This thought popped up in his mind for no reason, and Lin Shanglu suddenly woke up as if he had been electrocuted. His heart ached violently, and he could no longer use force on Chen Nanxing.
"Let's talk, talk calmly, okay?"
He reached down to Chen Nanxing's arm to grab her hand, eager to interlock their fingers, as if the warmth of their palms touching could soothe his now irritable heart.
Lin Shanglu spoke nicely, and it was hard for Chen Nanxing to refuse. She nodded in agreement and immediately said:
"I need to rest now. We can talk about anything later."
Lin Shanglu didn't want to agree, but Chen Nanxing had already made the decision:
"Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, I'll be waiting for you at the Spring Lantern Festival on Chisong Road."
The company may not need him for the time being, and even if it needs him again, it won’t matter if he waits for a day. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanglu reluctantly agreed.
After Lin Shanglu agreed, Chen Nanxing shook off their clasped hands and said that she wanted to go back to bed to recuperate. After Lin Shanglu's first suggestion that she go to the hotel with him to rest was rejected, he offered to take Chen Nanxing back to the B&B as a second choice, but was also rejected.
Of course he still wanted to force it, but Chen Nanxing got into a taxi and left a second before him.
So, the famous General Lin could only wait until two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day to keep his appointment at Yizhan Fengchun.
When he followed the waiter's instructions and pushed open the door of the tea room, Chen Nanxing had been waiting for a long time.
The tea aroma molecules are scattered in every corner of the tea room, and Chen Nanxing is concentrating on making tea in the mist.
Hearing the voice, she raised her head, and her beautiful face was exposed to Lin Shanglu's eyes:
"You're here."
very beautiful.
Lin Shanglu hadn't seen Chen Nanxing like this for a long time, so he stood at the door and watched for two more seconds.
"Why don't you come in?"
The tea was ready. Chen Nanxing poured a cup and pushed it to the seat she had reserved for Lin Shanglu across the table. Seeing that he had not yet entered the room, she raised her eyelids in the steaming water vapor and looked Lin Shanglu in the eye.
Lin Shanglu pushed the door shut, his eyes still on Chen Nanxing. She wore light makeup today, her waist-length straight hair was casually tied half behind her head, and her sky blue shirt was fresh and neat.
Because he was making tea, his sleeves were loosely rolled up half an inch, leaving a section of his snow-white arm exposed. The rest was completely covered and hidden in the cuffs of his shirt. Lin Shanglu's eyes flashed, his throat rolled, and he picked up the steaming tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The hot tea not only extinguished the ripples in his heart, but also restored his sanity.
"black tea?"
Lin Shanglu put down his teacup and doubted Chen Nanxing's preferences:
"I thought you would meet at a coffee shop. I remember you didn't like the taste of tea because it was astringent. You always liked coffee because it was fragrant."
"Back when Hengxing was first founded, it was still a small company. There were only us and one designer in the company. We would go out drinking and socializing at night, which made us too tired to work during the day. At this time, you liked to drink strong coffee to wake up. One time, you suddenly had a stomach ulcer in the middle of the night, and the pain was sweating all over. It happened to be pouring rain that day, and we couldn't get a taxi to the hospital. I was so anxious that I put on a raincoat and carried you to the hospital for emergency treatment. During that time, the doctor strictly forbade you to drink alcohol and coffee, so I made tea for you. You couldn't drink a cup of tea all day."
He wanted to remind Chen Nanxing of the difficult and beautiful past when they depended on each other by reminiscing about the past, but Chen Nanxing didn't want to recall the past. She made up a random excuse to stop Lin Shanglu's behavior.
“Maybe it’s because of my age now.”
Lin Shanglu was speechless. He was two years older than Chen Nanxing. When Chen Nanxing said that she was getting older, wasn't she just saying that he was old?
Chen Nanxing didn't think as much as he thought. He picked up the teapot and poured Lin Shang a cup.
"The black tea here is quite famous. I bought you a few cans to take back. Coffee hurts your stomach, so you should drink tea from now on."
She stood up and placed a beautifully wrapped wooden box on the corner of the table in front of Lin Shanglu. Lin Shanglu grabbed Chen Nanxing's hand:
"You come back with me."
"I'm not going."
Chen Nanxing still refused and took out a bound divorce agreement from the bag that had been pressed under the wooden box and placed it in front of Lin Shanglu:
"Shanglu, let's get a divorce."
"If you tear it, I still have more." "This is all filled up, enough for you to tear until you don't want to tear it anymore."
Lin Shanglu glanced at the bag lying flat on the table, realizing that the scores inside were so high that he couldn't tear them up even if his hands ached. He threw the damn divorce agreement aside in frustration and uttered three cold words through his teeth:
"I won't leave."
Chen Nanxing ignored him and patiently placed another divorce agreement in front of him. Lin Shanglu threw it away as usual. He tilted his head back and rubbed the back of his neck, his mouth drooping into a cold arc.
"Nanxing, I can't understand why you insist on getting a divorce. You should know that divorce is not good for you or me."
Facing his dissatisfaction and questioning, Chen Nanxing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His distinct black and white eyes stared at Lin Shanglu intently, as if trying to see through his appearance to his heart. However, human eyes are not X-rays, so how could they have such a function? Fortunately, God has given humans the ability to speak, allowing them to use words to speculate about two hearts separated by each other:
"Do you love me?"
