I wasn't sure if he was teasing me, so I instinctively turned around, but there was no one behind me.
Now I'm certain that Xie Yong is confessing his feelings to me.
For me, confessing my feelings is as commonplace as eating a meal; it happens almost every day. But Xie Yong is the first person to confess his feelings so calmly and composedly, as if saying, "It's snowing again today."
I felt a little uncomfortable. Even if Xie Yong didn't care about Yu Xu's existence, he should still understand that I was "pursuing" Ye Fenglin. In a sense, his actions were no different from poaching someone else's partner.
"I'm Ye Fenglin's date..." I hesitated, then handed him the phone, hoping Xie Yong would stop there. His habitual competitive spirit towards Ye Fenglin shouldn't have anything to do with me, and besides, would a man who seems so concerned about his image really steal his friend's woman?
He would definitely say, "Haha, just kidding, I just wanted to test how loyal you really are to Ye Zi."
To my surprise, Xie Yong coldly interrupted my expectations, his face even showing an expression of pride rather than shame for stealing his brother's woman.
He smiled and asked, "Do you think Ye Zi really likes you?"
I lowered my head. Actually, I didn't need Ye Fenglin to like me; I knew he wouldn't.
As long as I can use him to attract the full attention of the person who is always watching me, so that Yu Xu can recover properly and avoid all harm, that's enough.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze ambiguous. "I grew up with him, and I know Ye Fenglin's personality. Over the years, all sorts of women have gotten close to him. He is indeed very generous and willing to spend money, but are you really only after money and don't care about anything else?"
I nodded and told him that I only wanted the money and didn't care about anything else.
It was obvious that Xie Yong was feeling a faint surge of anger.
Ordinary people might not notice it, but I have spent a long time with him and I know that Xie Yong's emotions are very stable. He almost never shows his feelings on his face, so even the slightest change, even if it is fleeting, will be caught by me.
Xie Yong is sure to be disappointed now.
Despite his arrogant and confident demeanor, he actually has very conservative views on choosing a partner and on love. I can vaguely sense that he likes gentle, beautiful, and delicate girls, and coincidentally, I happen to be exactly his type.
My frankly revealing my love and yearning for money will surely make Xie Yong keep his distance from me.
"..." I looked down and stroked the paper cup containing hot cocoa.
Contrary to my expectations, Xie Yong's gaze remained fixed on me, moving from top to bottom, from my long hair to my coat, skirt, and then to my light pink ballet flats. His intense gaze made me feel somewhat timid.
"How much did Ye Zi pay you?" Xie Yong smiled, his eyes sharp and filled with domineering power. "I'll give you double, no, quadruple."
My ears were burning hot, my face was flushed, and my eyelashes drooped nervously, casting shadows.
Xie Yong reached out and grabbed my hand. I was startled, my heart pounding. I tried to struggle free, but Xie Yong was incredibly strong. His cold, white fingers held me firmly. "You can consider me your suitor. I won't be a burden to you."
Perhaps my fingers were trembling a bit too much, Xie Yong noticed, he loosened his grip a little, and his voice suddenly became gentle, with a slight upward slant at the end.
It's a bit like... my opinion.
"Can I pursue you?"
I was afraid he would continue to be forceful and relentlessly pester me, so I quickly nodded.
I've taken dating classes, and I know that to deal with a man like Xie Yong who seems interested in me, I should first pretend to be submissive and satisfy his strong desire for conquest. Maybe he'll get tired of me in no time.
"I need to see a doctor this afternoon, so I'm going to touch up my makeup first." I typed this to him on my phone. Xie Yong nodded slightly. As I walked, I kept looking back, wondering if he was feeling unwell after eating that spoiled cake. What if it was a trap and he wanted compensation from me?
I went out from the other side of the restaurant corridor and bought some stomach medicine, intending to give it to him later.
At the corner of the corridor, there was an overly conspicuous potted green plant. I didn't pay attention to it and walked straight towards the restaurant. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind the plant. I wasn't prepared at all and was grabbed by the person. He easily hugged me tightly, then changed direction and pinned me against the beige wall of the hospital.
Clang. A faint metallic clinking sound came from my wrist.
I looked up and saw that my right wrist was handcuffed by a pair of silver handcuffs, and I was being held firmly above my head. I looked up in fright, and my pupils reflected a face that exuded a strong aura of hormones. The features were superior, the appearance was handsome and profound, and the eyebrows and eyes were sharp.
Those deep black eyes were dark, profound, and sharp, like those of a fierce beast.
Lin Jindong smirked at me, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. "Got you."
My eyes widened slightly. Lin Jindong's professional demeanor carried an intimidating aura. Hearing him say that, I was so frightened that I started to recall whether I had made any mistakes recently.
...I broke the vase in the art studio, but I had already made an exact replica and put it back on, just as the teacher had asked.
I even accidentally threw away a small, unpalatable piece of broccoli from the cafeteria...
I only bumped into his limited edition gentleman sports car, did he finally tell the traffic police to arrest me?
I lowered my long eyelashes in fear, my eyes already welling up with tears, filled with worry and tension. I could only let Lin Jindong hold my hand, his long legs beneath his trousers slowly pressing against my skirt. Even though there was clothing between us, I still felt a sense of danger.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Lin Jindong's voice deepened. "I should have told you to stay away from Ye Fenglin. He's not just a victim now, but also the most hated person by the criminal that the police are watching. The other party could come back to retaliate against him at any time."
I fell silent instantly; in his eyes, I could see my pitiful appearance.
Let alone dealing with vicious criminals, I couldn't even escape Lin Jindong.
I pleaded with him with my eyes, and he finally let go of me. I could still hear the cuffs clicking as they were put on my wrists. I raised my hand and asked him in sign language, "And what about you? You came to the hospital to protect him?"
“That’s what the Ye family’s bodyguards should do, not me.” Lin Jindong’s lips curled up almost imperceptibly. “I just feel sorry for that male college student who shielded Ye Fenglin from the bullet. He’s lying there all alone, without family or friends. Apart from the doctors and nurses, even his girlfriend has run away. Nobody cares whether he lives or dies.”
Was he talking about Yu Xu? I held back the tears welling up in my eyes and bit my lip.
"How is that person..." I felt extremely humiliated, my breathing became rapid, and even my fingers were trembling.
"The recovery is going quite well. The Ye family spent a lot of money to hire people to take care of him. Although he hasn't woken up yet, he will soon."
I breathed a slight sigh of relief. Yu Xu's safety felt like two hands gripping my throat, making it difficult to even breathe.
"So, do you come to see him often?" I asked again.
“Occasionally.” Lin Jindong’s cold, interrogative expression vanished.
He approached me, his eyes filled with a somewhat gloomy emotion.
In any case, I am grateful to him; at least he spared a little kindness to care about Yu Xu. My unease about him lessened somewhat, so much so that as Lin Jindong drew closer and closer to me, I didn't flinch. I could even see his prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
His skin isn't fair; thanks to his love of outdoor sports, it has a healthy tan.
His thin lips curled up with a hint of ferocity, his brow bones were high, and his eyes were very sharp, yet they carried a strong and domineering control.
He let go of my hand, but still held me close, our breaths almost mingling. "Do you need to see a doctor?"
"How did you know?" I asked, my eyes reddening as I stared straight at him. "You saw me with Xie Yong."
"Yes, isn't he trying to pursue you? I happened to see it, so I'm helping you check him out." Lin Jindong's eyes gleamed with interest, and he gave a cold smile, as if mocking me.
Before I could even speak after hearing the term "brother," he pinched my earlobe and slowly rubbed it. "He's Zhi'en's childhood sweetheart, don't overthink it."
"..." I bit my lip. I knew he just didn't want to see the men who used to fawn over his sister daring to pursue someone else.
Lin Jindong released his grip, spreading his right palm in mid-air, his long, distinct finger bones relaxed lazily. "Let's go, I'll go with you to see the doctor. He's my college classmate."
Xie Yong is still waiting for me at the restaurant...
He seemed to read my mind, lowered his gaze, and said forcefully, "I'll tell Xie Yong."
I nodded very obediently.
I don't know what method Lin Jindong used. The psychologist, who was originally on break, actually took some time to give me one-on-one therapy. He was a man who looked to be about the same age as Lin Jindong, but the ring on his finger clearly told everyone that he was married.
The doctor was filling out a medical record card, glancing up every now and then. "You're at the hospital again. Looks like you have a lot of cases at the end of the year."
Lin Jindong stood to the side, his profile sharp and distinct, his eyelashes slightly drooping, his handsome features impeccable.
“There was a car accident last night, it’s very strange. The perpetrator and the victim are still in the emergency room. I’ve come to check on the situation.”
Is it Jiang Mingzhuo? I was slightly startled and almost dropped my pen.
Lin Jindong lowered his thick eyebrows.
He's very perceptive; I can't let him spot any flaws. My first thought was, "Sure enough, no one can escape the cycle of the plot." Jiang Mingzhuo was caught again, but this time it wasn't Yu Xu. Who could it be? I thought of many terrible things, and even more terrifying scenes, so I'm writing very slowly.
After finally finishing filling out the form, I looked at the doctor.
"Can you briefly tell me about the problem you're encountering?" he asked. I took out my phone, intending to type, but he frowned. "You can just tell me directly. Text editing usually involves a thought process, and the expression can become biased, so I can't judge your situation."
But I can't speak.
My eyes welled up with tears. @Unlimited great articles, all at Literary City
“Tell me in sign language,” Lin Jindong interrupted sternly. “I will tell him.”
I looked at him, and he simply sat down on the sofa opposite me, slowly straightening his posture. "I've encountered many victims who can't speak. You can trust my professional abilities."
The man's aura was increasingly aggressive, and I swallowed hard, my fingers trembling as I told him.
Lin Jindong: "She once dated a boyfriend, but they broke up because they were incompatible. But now this man still appears in her dreams from time to time, and she is very scared."
His eyes were deep, and he seemed to understand the source of my usual tension and unease.
The doctor stared intently at the handcuffs on my right wrist, his narrowed eyes revealing a subtle but clear understanding. He looked at Lin Jindong and smiled.
"When was the last time you had a dream?" the doctor asked methodically as he made his notes.
Lin Jindong: "Just last night."
"Do you feel uncomfortable after waking up from a dream? Do you remember everything that happened in the dream clearly?"
The doctor was very professional, and the questions he asked were very relevant.
Lin Jindong's voice was calm and steady, without any embellishment, simply and concisely expressing my thoughts.
Their initial conclusion was that I was under too much psychological stress and that living alone was dangerous.
The doctor suggested that I stay with someone else for a while and observe whether I still have dreams.
As I walked out of the office, I raised my wrist to Lin Jindong, somewhat embarrassed, "Could you take it off? I feel a little uncomfortable."
He was staring at me intently. Having gone through the consultation just now, I trusted him completely. In my eyes, he was a professional, calm, assertive, and excellent prosecutor. He had a strong sense of justice and responsibility and could solve many problems.
I shook the handcuffs again, making a noise.
Lin Jindong's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He grasped my wrist and unlocked the handcuffs.
A faint red mark was left on her slender wrist.
He leaned slightly forward, and the cool, woody scent emanating from him enveloped everything around him. @Unlimited great articles, all at Literary City
Lin Jindong said in a low voice, "I didn't know this would hurt you, I'm sorry."
Since seeing the doctor, he has been restraining his strong and cold aura, and his rampant invasiveness has been greatly reduced.
I shook my head and gestured to him, "I just get marks easily; even a slight touch will leave red marks for days. It's nothing."
"..." A sharp, wicked glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he even gritted his teeth. @Unlimited good articles, all at Literary City
A sense of danger flashed by.
The next second, those cold, sharp black eyes looked at me and said, "The doctor's suggestion, do you want to give it a try?"
I don't understand.
"Come stay with me, and I'll help you get treatment."
