Chapter 25 I Don’t Want to Get Married
Chen Jinhe laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "See what I said? He just made up an excuse, but you took it seriously."
Lin Xu was extremely frustrated and dejected.
The old doctor couldn't bear to see him like this, so he comforted him, "The most important thing is to keep a calm mind. Don't force anything. If it's yes, it's no. If it's no, it's no. Just let nature take its course."
It is easy to say that we should let things take their course. But if we did, Zhou Yan would get married, have children, and live out his life alone.
Drinking Chinese medicine had almost become his spiritual support.
Lin Xu has always believed that as long as he keeps drinking, he can become a straight man and become a lifelong buddy with Zhou Yan.
This may have been suddenly blocked today.
After coming out of the clinic, Lin Xu was even more confused.
He didn't want to go home because he was not sure when Zhou Yan would come home.
I also don’t want to know the outcome of Zhou Yan’s blind date.
It seems that as long as he doesn't go back, these things will never be concluded.
When his cell phone rang, he didn't expect it to be Zhou Yan.
Come back to eat in the evening. I made some of my specialties.
Just this one message was enough to appease Lin Xu.
Judging from Zhou Yan's expression, he should have arrived home.
He arrived home at this time, which means he just had a simple meal with the other person after watching the movie.
Does that mean that the blind date failed?
Chen Jinhe followed him out and saw the message on his phone.
He immediately joked, "Haha, it seems that a certain teenager who doesn't want to go home doesn't need to take medicine anymore."
"Then we can't let him cook this meal for nothing."
Lin Xu said as he replied to the message.
Chen Jinhe crossed his arms and looked at Lin Xu meaningfully: "I said, I saw the whole conversation between you and Shen Xinji, and you were never as distracted as you are now."
"How can they be the same? Why should he compare with Brother Zhou?"
Ever since she knew that the reason she had been frustrated in finding a job was because of Shen Xinji, Lin Xu no longer had any attachment to him at all.
I didn't tear him apart because of our past friendship.
After Zhou Yan received Lin Xu's reply that he would be back soon, the corners of his lips curled up.
Holding a cigarette between his fingers, he called a client he had worked with before.
"Huh? You want two VIP tickets? Zhou Yan, are you in love?" The other party asked him with a smile after hearing his request.
"No, it's a friend's child."
Zhou Yan made up a reason so that he wouldn't be questioned.
"Oh, okay. How old is the child? Children's tickets are still—"
"You're an adult now, so a regular adult ticket will do."
"Okay, I'll send you the ticket verification code later, and you can just take it with you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen. I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Forget about the meal. Come swim with me next week. It's been ages since we last had a fight."
"I'll listen to Brother Chen."
Zhou Yan hung up the phone, and soon received the verification code for the SVIP package.
With this ticket, you can use the fast track channel for many projects, and you will also have exclusive reserved seats in the restaurant.
Lin Xu said he would be back soon and arrived home half an hour later.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the fragrant aroma.
"Brother, what did you cook that smells so good?" Lin Xu changed his shoes and walked inside.
Zhou Yan came out of the kitchen and leaned against the door and said, "Sauerkraut stewed with pork ribs, isn't it delicious? The sauerkraut in our hometown has been frozen in the refrigerator and we haven't had a chance to eat it."
Lin Xu licked his lips and said, "I think if you open a restaurant after you retire, it will definitely be very popular."
Zhou Yan smiled: "I'm retired, and you still don't let me rest? Go take a shower and change clothes. The meat still needs to stew for a while, no rush."
"Okay." Lin Xu just turned around and turned back, hesitated for a moment, and asked casually, "Um - I forgot to ask you, how did the blind date go today?"
"No result. Didn't I say before that I don't want to be in a relationship? We have already talked about it."
Lin Xu suppressed a somewhat relieved smile and comforted Zhou Yan: "Maybe it's not our destiny yet, don't take it to heart."
Zhou Yan smiled and lowered his head, then went back to the kitchen to cook.
Lin Xu went into the bathroom and smiled foolishly at the mirror.
That’s great, Zhou Yan is still single now, and he won’t be kicked out by his “girlfriend” in the short term.
Besides, Zhou Yan was not attracted by such a pretty girl, so when he said he didn't want to have a relationship, he must really mean it.
Lin Xu splashed cold water on his face.
"How can I gloat over his misfortune? Brother Zhou is such a good person, he will meet a good girl sooner or later. He should live a normal life. If he really finds one, I must wish him a happy life."
But since there is no such thing now, it won’t bother anyone if he stays with Zhou Yan for a while longer.
After taking a shower, Lin Xu became a happy puppy again and ran into the kitchen to find Zhou Yan.
"Go out. You just took a shower and you smell again." Zhou Yan drove him out.
"It's okay, I can wash it in the evening." Lin Xu refused to leave.
He wanted to cherish the time he could still be with Zhou Yan openly.
Zhou Yan suddenly remembered and asked, "I saw that the medicine you were drinking was gone in the refrigerator. Didn't you go get some more?"
Lin Xu laughed dryly: "No, the doctor said I don't need to drink it."
Zhou Yan nodded: "Your sleep and rest schedule is quite regular now. I don't think you need to take any medicine for insomnia."
"What about you? You said before that you also have some insomnia."
"Hehe, it's strange to say, but after you moved in, my insomnia has almost been cured." Zhou Yan opened the lid of the pot and finally added a layer of salt.
"I still have this function?" Lin Xu asked happily.
"Well, how does it taste?" Zhou Yan picked up a piece of pork ribs from the pot, blew on it, and handed it to Lin Xu's mouth.
The ribs have been stewed for more than an hour and are soft and boneless. The aroma of meat and the unique aroma of sauerkraut combine together, making it fragrant and not greasy.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, and Zhou Yan knew it meant it was delicious without him saying anything.
"No, you must open a restaurant after you retire. Otherwise, if I want to eat the food you cook, where will I go?" Lin Xu frowned in distress.
Zhou Yan chuckled: "Maybe you'll marry a wife who cooks better than me in the future, and then you won't remember me anymore."
Lin Xu said firmly: "No."
Then he added in a low voice: "No, I won't get married."
Nowadays, there are too many children who believe in not getting married. Zhou Yan didn’t take it too seriously. After all, he is still young and doesn’t need to worry about such things.
Zhou Yan himself doesn’t have any thoughts about marriage now, but even if he doesn’t get married, his family will urge him to do so, and he doesn’t know how long he can hold on.
"Maybe if you meet someone like that someday, you won't say that anymore."
It was unclear whether Zhou Yan was trying to persuade Lin Xu or himself.
"No, I won't get married." Lin Xu seemed extremely determined about this matter.
Zhou Yan didn't argue with him about this, but just smiled and joked: "Okay, if you really want to die alone, I'll live with you. I'll cook for you, and you'll be my gardener and grow flowers in the yard."
