Chapter 220
The moment she leaned against the sofa, Lin Shixu could no longer hold back and stood up from the sofa with a "swoosh". He was just about to walk to the other side, wanting to stay away from her.
As a result, a small puddle of water appeared on the ground at some point, right at his feet. It was probably because he stood up too quickly, or maybe he didn't notice the spot at all.
His feet slipped and his body accidentally fell on Nan Yan's calf which had just been stretched out.
It was pressing exactly on her calf. At that moment, Lin Shixu really had the urge to die. A warm and soft touch instantly came from the place where his palm was covered, and an unfamiliar body temperature was pressed against his palm.
Nan Yan felt a chill on her neck and feet and almost kicked over, but luckily she held back and asked him hypocritically, "Are you okay?"
Lin Shixu pursed his lips, and goose bumps appeared all over his arms. He reacted quickly and tried to move away the covering hand.
Just at this moment, Nan Yan reached out her hand pretending to be ignorant. She leaned forward and bent down as if she wanted to help the person up.
This action made Lin Shixu's scalp tingle. He was obviously not used to being close to people, so the moment Nan Yan reached out her hand, Lin Shixu, who had originally fallen on the sofa, almost subconsciously stood up and tried to avoid the other party's outstretched hand.
At this moment, Lin Shixu stood up suddenly and bumped into Nan Yan's face at an extremely fast speed.
The collision of heads fully proved that the action of force is mutual. Nan Yan's head was almost knocked silly, and a sour and astringent pain quickly spread from the bridge of the nose.
Lin Shixu probably didn't expect such a situation to happen. His head also hurt a little, but he could still bear it. But before he said anything, he looked up and saw that the woman opposite him was in tears. Her eyes were tearful and red. She looked like she had been bullied and her hair was messy.
Nan Yan covered her nose, and a warm liquid slowly flowed down from her nasal cavity. As soon as she took her hand away, a drop of bright red blood dripped down the tip of her nose.
"you..."
Lin Shixu was also frozen at this point, watching her nose bleed, then the second drop, followed by the second and third drops, and the nose bleed kept flowing more and more.
Nan Yan also felt that this was unlucky. Damn it, even though she had deliberately splashed the beach water around his feet, she had never thought that it would bring disaster upon herself in the end.
She had originally thought that he would slip and she would take the opportunity to help him up, and then the two of them would have intimate contact. Isn't this a perfect ambiguous plot? Who could have expected such a situation? This bastard was actually the first man to make her nose bleed.
Seeing the nosebleed getting more and more, Lin Shixu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately. He stretched out his hand towards Nan Yan, but just as he stretched out his hand, he quickly withdrew it as if he was burned.
He couldn't help feeling resentful and entangled in his heart, but seeing the woman crying with tears in her eyes and looking aggrieved, Lin Shixu couldn't care less. He saw the woman crying with her head tilted back, and he endured it again and again. Finally, he overcame the rejection in his heart and reached out to press the back of her neck.
"Don't lean back like that. The blood from your nose will flow down your nasal cavity into your throat, which will make you even more uncomfortable."
His fingers trembled slightly, and suppressing a certain rejection, he reached out to pinch her nose bridge, pressing gently. Just as he was about to help her stop the bleeding, Nan Yan slapped him on the back of his hand.
"Can you be gentler? You're pinching me."
"I was kind enough to help you up, but you bumped my head and it was bleeding. Tell me, did you do that on purpose to get back at me for biting you when I mistook you for someone else?"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention that. As soon as she mentioned it, Lin Shixu obviously remembered it. His expression visibly stiffened for a moment, and there was a faint pain spreading down the side of his leg.
"...No, I haven't thought about it that way."
Although Lin Shixu had offended her, he was not a petty person. At most, he just couldn't stand her contact with him.
Nan Yan cried very aggrievedly but still looked very fierce, so fierce that she even knew how to glare at people. She slapped him, and Lin Shixu's body stiffened again, and his whole fingers were stained with her blood.
She was just being unreasonable and venting her anger, "You said you didn't have it, but if you didn't have it, how could I have a nosebleed?"
Lin Shixu could only patiently explain, "I didn't mean to do that this time. I bumped into you accidentally. Please stop moving."
It would be strange if Nan Yan could be obedient. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she had earned it with a nosebleed. She must take this opportunity to kill him.
Lin Shixu pursed his lips, his face becoming paler and paler. For a moment, he wanted to just turn around and rush into the bathroom to wash everything off.
But seeing the person in front of him bleeding, he couldn't just ignore it, especially since Nan Yan didn't listen to him at all and stumbled towards the bathroom with her head tilted back. As soon as she stood up, she bumped into the tea table and was about to fall again. Lin Shixu beside her subconsciously reached out a hand to support her.
At this moment, he could only overcome the rejection in his heart, reached out and pulled Nan Yan, who refused to be obedient, into his arms, and finally supported and carried her directly to the bathroom.
"Slow down... You can't do this. Stop moving around."
His cool fingers pressed on the bridge of Nan Yan's nose, pressing gently as if checking her condition.
"This is a ruptured blood vessel in the nose caused by an impact. I just checked and the bridge of the nose is fine. It may be the inner side that was impacted. It will be fine after applying cold compress. Don't lie on your back."
"I told you not to look up, just be quiet."
Lin Shixu acted quickly and quickly soaked a towel in water and applied it to her face. However, the person in his arms was not behaving well and kept moving around and refused to stop. The most annoying thing for a doctor is people who refuse to be obedient. He applied a little force with his fingers and the girl next to him let out a headache-inducing cry, grimacing and crying, and her tears all rubbed into his palm.
For a moment, Lin Shixu wanted to pack her up and throw her into the washing machine to wash her for three days and three nights. Her head was tilted back. In the end, Lin Shixu was in a state of disgust and depression. His face turned pale at first, and he tried his best to ignore her later.
He has a fairly good ability to control his emotions.
At least he didn't push people away at this juncture.
When the nosebleed finally stopped, Nan Yan heard the man next to her finally heaving a sigh of relief.
The key point is that this man was even more vicious than her. She was obviously the one bleeding. She saw a lot of blood on this man's sleeves. The moment she saw the blood, Lin Shixu's expression froze for a moment. Then she saw that the other party had wet his sleeves and washed them over and over again with clean water until he was completely clean.
When he finished washing, he turned around and saw Nan Yan staring at him. She stretched out her hands to him, and the meaning in her eyes was very obvious -
"Wash it off, you are the one who caused this."
She has a muffled nasal sound when she speaks.
Lin Shixu's expression froze for a moment, and it was obvious that he was reluctant, but he saw the other person's slightly red eyes from crying, and the slightly red tip of his nose.
When I think about this matter, I feel that it is indeed my own fault.
So, with a kind of extreme disgust, I squeezed a little bit at a time from the hand sanitizer, and then held her hand like an old mother washing her child's hands.
His movements were quite standard. He put foam on her hands and rubbed them carefully until they were clean. He washed them over and over again until all the blood stains were washed away. By the end, Nan Yan was afraid that this man would make her hands bald.
When the man was about to wash for the third time, Nan Yan found the right opportunity and slapped his hand away.
"Okay, okay, if you wash it again, the skin will be rubbed off."
Lin Shixu pursed his lips and said nothing. Looking at her fingers, he had the urge to grab them back and wash them one last time, but he resisted the urge. After all, this person was not related to him, and he had no right to force her to do anything.
So he simply stopped looking at the other person, out of sight, out of mind.
When Ji Shenshen and Zhou Youyou came back after buying breakfast together, each of them had two bags in their hands. As soon as they entered the room, they vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little off.
When Ji Shenshen opened the door, he saw his girlfriend sitting on the sofa and glacing at him lightly. Her eyes were slightly red, her hair was wet, and she didn't look very happy.
Ji Shenshen thought that he had been out for too long and she was getting impatient and therefore unhappy. However, there were many people around and he was too embarrassed to just go up and hug her to comfort her.
He could only put the things in his hands on the dining table and then go to the kitchen to get some tableware. Zhou Youyou followed him, and the atmosphere between the two of them was much more relaxed than before.
Nan Yan was not blind, so she could notice this small change. She estimated that the two of them must have talked something out. After all, they were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. Even if they were estranged for a while, once any misunderstandings were resolved, their relationship was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Isn't this the case now? When she looked up, she saw Zhou Youyou standing in the kitchen talking to her boyfriend. Her boyfriend lowered his head and responded. The relationship between the two of them was obviously much more familiar. Then she heard her boyfriend calling her to come over for dinner.
"Yanyan, come and have dinner. Didn't you say you were hungry? I bought your favorite fish porridge and red rice sausage. Come over quickly."
As Ji Shenshen spoke, he greeted Lin Shixu who was sitting opposite him, with basic courtesy and politeness. He then placed the food on the table, which was quite rich in variety.
The two of them ordered take-away food from the newly opened Cantonese-style tea restaurant downstairs. There were quite a lot of customers coming and going, and they waited in line for quite a while before it was their turn.
Having said that, the two people who were originally sitting on the sofa also came over, and the four of them sat down together. They were obviously two couples, but they were sitting separately. Nan Yan was next to Lin Shixu, and opposite her was her boyfriend and his childhood sweetheart. This situation seemed a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.
But there was nothing that could be done. It was Zhou Youyou and Lin Shixu who were in the process of breaking up. It was already difficult for them to sit down and have a meal together peacefully. At least they didn't quarrel, right?
When the four of them were seated, Ji Shenshen noticed that the tip of his girlfriend's nose was a little red, as if it had been frozen outside in the winter. She then applied a layer of rose-red powder on it, which was bright red, with the bridge of her nose being even more noticeable.
He casually asked, "What's wrong with your nose?"
Before Nan Yan could say anything, Lin Shixu's movements paused for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Nan Yan glanced at the man beside her with a cold look in her eyes. She took a bite of red rice sausage with her chopsticks and didn't tell him the truth. She could only say in a muffled voice, "...Maybe I washed my face too hard just now and accidentally rubbed it."
Ji Lingshen had no doubts. He knew his girlfriend's skin was sensitive, and it would be more obvious if she got slightly bumped and bruised. So he didn't take it too seriously, and then he said, "Do you want to go out after dinner? Can I take you to meet up with your friends?"
"They seem to have set up a club in the southern suburbs. There are quite a lot of activities. It should be quite interesting."
To be honest, this suggestion was made by Zhou Youyou when we were queuing downstairs just now. She said that their friends who used to be very close haven't gotten together for a long time. Since they have time on the weekend, why not get together? After all, they are in the same city and it is convenient to meet.
When she mentioned that, Ji Shenshen became interested. He knew that group of friends were more fun, and being with them was more fun than being alone. He also really wanted to take Nan Yan to meet his old friends.
Zhou Youyou originally wanted to spend more time with him, so she proposed this. She knew Ji Lingshen would definitely agree, but she didn't expect him to bring his girlfriend with him. This made her feel a little depressed for a while, but she also knew that this was unreasonable, after all, they were normal boyfriend and girlfriend, and she was just a childhood sweetheart whose relationship was already distant.
But she was unwilling to give up. After all, in her previous life, her brother Shen Shen had personally admitted that he had always liked her in his heart, right? She knew that love was not something she could have if she wanted it or not, but as long as there was a slight possibility, she wanted to try harder.
After all, she had lived this life over again, and she really didn't want to miss the person who cared about her the most.
So Zhou Youyou suppressed her disappointment and smiled generously. She turned to look at Ji Lingshen and said, "How dare you say that? Since you went to college and got a girlfriend, you rarely contacted us. Some time ago, they said that every time they wanted to ask you out, you always said you were too busy and didn't have time to go."
Ji Yanshen looked up at Nan Yan with a natural smile on his face, "I was really busy during that time. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to see my girlfriend, so how could I have time to play with you guys?"
Nan Yan glanced at him lightly without saying anything.
But Zhou Youyou next to him exclaimed "Wow" and couldn't help laughing, and scolded him for being a guy who valued women over friendship. No wonder he loved playing with girls since he was a child and didn't want to play with that group of boys.
She talked about the embarrassing things that happened when she was a child. She mentioned that when Ji Yanshen was a child, he always liked to take her over the wall and climb trees to catch cicadas. There was also a summer vacation one year when a group of little kids were taken to the countryside by their parents, and then they went to a small pond to catch loaches and lobsters. In the end, the group of little boys stole a lot of peaches from the orchard, but they were scared by two big black dogs and cried in the tree. In the end, they didn’t dare to come down...
There are many similar embarrassing incidents, too numerous to count.
Every time she talked about something from her childhood, Ji Shenshen's memory was slowly brought back. He would correct her and complain about her from time to time, saying that it was not entirely his fault, and that there were other people who were giving orders, and that he was not the one who was scared and crying.
As the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more harmonious, the faces of the two people opposite them became increasingly grim.
She already had a noseache, and seeing the two chatting so happily, she had even less appetite to eat.
She guessed that Lin Shixu beside her was in the same mood, with a slightly frowned brow. He had only taken one or two sips of the porridge in the bowl since he sat down, and it was obvious that he was not in the mood.
Nan Yan reached out and pried open the disposable chopsticks beside her, picked up a prawn, put on the disposable gloves at hand, carefully opened the shrimp shell and took a bite.
She ate absent-mindedly, after all, her nose bridge was still aching. She ate a few mouthfuls of fish porridge slowly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she had lost her appetite.
Ji Shen Shen naturally noticed it as well, and he also found it strange. He was clearly full of energy before he left, but how come he became so listless after going out, as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.
Nan Yan didn't care what he was thinking. Anyway, she was going to make trouble if she didn't like it, especially when she heard the topic they were talking about. From beginning to end, she, the real girlfriend, was like an outsider who was not involved in the matter and could not get a word in about what the two people were saying.
Nan Yan was obviously unhappy, and when she was unhappy she wanted to make things difficult for the two of them, so she peeled another shrimp ball and passed it over.
"Want to eat?"
Ji Lingshen was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he heard Zhou Youyou beside him say subconsciously, "Wait, Lingshen is allergic to shrimps. He will get a rash if he eats them. If the condition is serious, he will have to go to the hospital. Don't you know that?"
There was something unnatural in her eyes.
Nan Yan had a slightly stunned expression on her face, but her heart was calm. Of course she knew that Ji Linshen was allergic to shrimps, but she did it on purpose. If she didn't express it this way, how could she give the two of them a chance to show intimacy?
Although Zhou Youyou's tone was familiar and natural when she said this, it didn't sound like there was any unnecessary emotion, nor did it sound like she was showing off how close the relationship between the two was.
But Nan Yan could see a hint of blame in his eyes. Maybe she felt that the two had been dating for such a long time, and she, as Ji Lingshen's girlfriend, didn't even know this.
Nan Yan raised her finger without moving.
The boyfriend, who was slow to react, probably also vaguely realized that something was wrong. He looked up at his girlfriend opposite him. There was no change in her expression, but after spending a long time together, Ji Shenshen could also feel that his girlfriend was obviously in a bad mood today.
He glanced at the shrimp balls his girlfriend handed over, and his expression softened a lot, as if he was helping her out. "Well, I am a little allergic to shrimps. I never told you before, but it's not a big problem."
Hearing this, Zhou Youyou looked at him strangely, and her tone seemed to be a little teasing, "What do you mean by no problem? Have you forgotten that you had a big rash on your neck after eating shrimp at my house? It was painful and itchy, and I had to accompany you to the hospital to get saline drips."
Ji Shen frowned slightly, probably thinking that what Zhou Youyou said was a little inappropriate, but he didn't say anything.
He was indeed allergic to shrimps, and he had indeed not told Yanyan, but out of some kind of natural male intuition, he could clearly feel that his girlfriend was very unhappy at the moment.
At this moment, Nan Yan smiled at him in a pretentious manner and took over the topic naturally, "So you have always been allergic to shrimps, then why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have given it to you, what a waste."
Ji Shenshen looked at her and smiled. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It's okay, it's just a small matter."
But before he could finish his words, he saw his girlfriend put the peeled shrimp into Lin Shixu's bowl. Then she looked at him expectantly and whispered, "Lin Shixu, try this. It tastes very good. Just consider it as an apology for what happened just now."
She added with a slight smile, in a gentle voice, "I think you are not allergic to shrimp."
This movement quickly attracted the attention of the other people at the table. Almost as soon as she moved, the two people opposite her looked at her at the same time, one with a blank expression and the other with a slightly weird look.
Lin Shixu: “…”
He is indeed not allergic to shrimp, but he has keratinism. So, the life of the allergic person is life, but the life of the keratinist is not life?
Ji Yunshen: "..."
Ji Shenshen thought that Nan Yan's apology for compensation was just a sign that she had made a mistake, but it was obvious that Lin Shixu knew what she meant. After all, he had just accidentally bumped into her and caused her nose to bleed.
But he really doesn't want to give this face.
Zhou Youyou on the side was also watching quietly.
She even had a little mockery in her heart. When Lin Shixu ate in a restaurant with her, he would soak the tableware in hot water first. His cleanliness obsession was extremely serious, especially when it came to food. He usually didn't even want to hold her hand, let alone eat things that had been touched by other people's fingers. Even when they ate out together, they would always take care of themselves.
Lin Shixu could actually understand Nan Yan's meaning. She just couldn't swallow her anger and wanted to find someone to vent it on. To be honest, he was also a little displeased with the scene just now.
But there is no need, there is really no need...
He stared at the shrimp balls being passed to him in the bowl, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, especially when he felt the gazes of the two people opposite him. He was silent for a moment, still unable to get over the hurdle in his heart.
He really couldn't accept such an apology. Although he did feel guilty, there was really no need to torture himself in this way. So Lin Shixu let out a sigh and quietly avoided her gaze. He was about to refuse.
"Thank you, I don't..."
But before he could finish his words, his feet, which were originally flat under the table, were suddenly stepped on hard by someone.
Something was stepping on the back of his foot under the table. It wasn't a big deal after the step because the foot was obviously not wearing shoes. Then it moved up his leg slowly. Lin Shixu could even feel the soft touch of the foot gently kicking his calf.
"cough--"
Lin Shixu suddenly started coughing uncontrollably.
His face turned slightly red from coughing, and a strange blush surged across his fair face.
Because of some unspeakable excitement and some incredible sense of shame, his whole body was tense, and his fingers on the table also tightened unconsciously, and that touch made his whole body stiffen.
He turned his head to look in the direction beside him. Lin Shixu knew who the troublemaker was without having to guess, because Nan Yan beside him suddenly looked at him again. She still had that gentle and considerate smile on her face, but her eyes were staring at him with a "threatening" look, and then she glanced at the shrimps in the bowl.
The meaning is very clear, you have to eat it whether you want to or not!
Lin Shixu almost wanted to pull out the troublemaker on the other side and beat him up, but he held back. Not only did he hold back, he also took a deep breath.
Then, suppressing a sense of disgust, he clenched his fingers, and finally, without saying anything, he raised his hand to pick up the shrimp that Nan Yan handed to him, and very calmly put it into his mouth.
After he finished eating, he turned around and glanced at Nan Yan beside him. His eyes were a little cold and his face was not very good. He commented in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's not as good as you said. It's cold and doesn't taste very good. Next time, peel it while it's hot."
"Also, I don't like eating what others don't want!"
Boy, this guy has quite a bad temper.
