Lin's hand was grabbed without any preparation. She pulled her hand back reflexively and swung her other hand towards Meng Yiming's face.
Fortunately, Meng Yiming reacted quickly and caught her fist with his other hand.
"Yezi..." Meng Yiming was a little speechless, his hands still holding her hands.
Lin Ye also reacted at this time. She said angrily: "Why did you pull my hand without saying anything? Your face will be swollen after this punch."
Meng Yiming suddenly laughed.
Lin was puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"
"You're not mad at me for holding your hand, you're mad at you for almost hitting me." Meng Yiming said lightly, "So be it, it's just a chance to swell up your face and pretend to be strong."
Lin Ye immediately pulled his hands back, "I'll knock your glasses off your chest!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
Yes, why wasn't she angry that Dr. Meng pulled her hand?!
Meng Yiming quickened his pace to catch up with her, "Yezi, can I hold your hand?"
If you have to ask for consent before holding hands, then you have to ask for consent for every step thereafter?
Lin Ye: “…”
Meng Yiming said, "Look, if I ask you this kind of thing in advance, wouldn't it be difficult for you to answer? You want to hold hands but you're too embarrassed to say it."
"Who wants to hold hands?" Lin Ye's face flushed with embarrassment.
"I want to hold your hand." Meng Yiming said.
He reached out and held Lin Ye's hand again. Lin Ye secretly bit his lower lip to hide his joy and nervousness.
Meng Yiming first held her hand gently. After walking a few steps, his fingers slipped into Lin Ye's fingers, and their fingers were intertwined.
Lin was also very nervous. Her arms and body were stiff, even her walking posture was stiff.
Meng Yiming discovered it but didn't point it out. He was just about to find some topic to make Lin relax.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye suddenly pulled his hand away, jumped more than a meter away, and glared at him angrily.
Meng Yiming was shocked, "Isn't holding hands normal?"
Although Lin Ye has never been in a relationship, he has seen many classmates in love, holding hands, kissing, and even going to bed, which is all very normal.
But what made her angry was, "You're still thinking about that little girl in your heart, and you want to date me?!"
Meng Yiming: “…”
It was a dilemma. He didn't want to talk about the little girl anymore.
Lin also said: "When we were in Nigeria, you said you would explain to me about the little girl later, but you still haven't explained it to me!"
Meng Yiming: “…”
Not to mention Lin Ye's picky personality, even if other women knew that a man had someone else in his heart, they would never agree to be in a relationship with him.
While Meng Yiming was regretting the mistakes he had made in the past, his mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to make things go smoothly.
A few seconds later, Meng Yiming took two steps forward and tried to grab Lin Ye's hand, but Lin Ye avoided him without hesitation.
Meng Yiming said, "Don't be angry first. I'll tell you about this in detail."
"Shortly after I was born, my parents arranged a marriage for me. From a young age, I knew I would marry this girl when I grew up. Later, my family moved, and I went abroad to study. Something happened to the girl's family, and they lost contact with us."
Meng Yiming patted his chest and boasted, "You know me, I'm very responsible. Since we've made this promise, I have to abide by it. I haven't found a partner since I returned to China after completing my studies, and I wanted to marry that girl. My family and I kept asking around about her family, and finally we got in touch with them."
"But I was chosen to join an international rescue organization because of my excellent medical skills. Before I left, I met with her, and she said she didn't like me. I couldn't force her to fulfill the promise we made as children."
"Later, I went abroad again, until I came back with you. I went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, originally planning to talk things over with the girl's family and break up the childhood engagement. Because by then I had already fallen in love with you.
"When I approached her, I found out that the girl had already found the man she loved, she was married, and she was living a happy life."
"The promise I made to her when we were kids is now over! I sincerely wish her happiness!"
Meng Yiming said: "Actually, this is the best. She found the one she loves, and I found the one I love."
After listening to it, Lin believed it about 80%.
After all, she didn't know much about Meng Yiming and the little girl.
Lin Ye felt a little sad, "Did you go to see her last time you went home?"
Meng Yiming took her hand again, "Xiaoye, I looked for her to make things clear. Now we can be together without any worries."
Lin also let him hold her hand, "But my dad hasn't agreed yet."
"I just said that we should prepare for our relationship first." Meng Yiming raised her hand. "Holding hands is part of the preparation."
Lin was convinced by his fallacy again.
The two walked back to the door of their home hand in hand. It was so cold that their palms were sticky and wet.
It was getting late, so Lin didn't go back into the house and rode his bike home.
On the way home, she realized belatedly that she should have refused Dr. Meng's offer to hold her hand.
Her roommates are all experts in love, and they often exchange love skills with each other in the dormitory.
Lin Ye has heard a lot.
For example, holding hands.
When a man wants to hold a woman's hand, she should firmly refuse the first time, politely refuse the second time, and only agree with a half-hearted reluctance the third time. Men don't cherish things that they get easily.
She didn't go through the whole process at all. As soon as Dr. Meng extended his hand, she agreed.
Lin Ye slapped his forehead in frustration.
