Chapter 227
Lin Shixu heard the phone ring in the living room and walked over to take a look. She originally thought it was her friend or relative, so she knocked on the frosted glass door of the bathroom and asked casually, "A girl named Baobao called you. Do you want me to answer the phone for you?"
Nan Yan was busy taking a shower, so she didn't have the energy to answer the phone. When she heard this, she just casually said, "Please answer it for me. It should be my best friend."
So Lin Shixu pressed the call button, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard a hurried man's voice coming from the other end, "Hello?"
Lin Shixu turned her head and glanced at the blurry figure reflected in the frosted glass door, wondering in her heart, her best friend is actually a man, where does she get so many good best friends?
Lin Shixu memorized the name and asked into the receiver, "Hello, who is this? What can I do for you?"
Lin Shixu asked impatiently. When he saw Nan Yan washing herself in the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that there were no sanitary napkins for women at home. Judging from that woman's simple-minded and careless nature, she probably didn't have any prepared.
Lin Shixu took out his cell phone and looked through the nearby shopping malls. The models were all similar, but it might take another 40 minutes to have it delivered. It would be faster for him to go downstairs and buy it.
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little dull at first, but then the tone became obviously anxious, "Who are you, why is Yanyan's phone in your hand?"
Perhaps because he was too anxious and excited, Ji Lingshen didn't recognize the man opposite him at first. However, Lin Shixu recognized his voice. He turned his head and looked at the figure on the glass door, staring at it for a while.
Then I felt that there was no need to care so much. After all, he was my ex and the past was over. Now that I have decided to accept him, I can't be too stingy. Besides, he is not that kind of petty man.
However, this kind of behavior of clinging to your ex and being entangled with him/her is not okay. You must make a decision as soon as possible.
After looking left and right, Lin Shixu finally looked away. Ji Lingshen on the other end of the phone was still asking, "Who are you? Why don't you talk? Why is my girlfriend's phone next to yours? Where is she now?"
Ji Linshen borrowed Yanyan's friend's cell phone to call her number. As for his number, he made countless calls last night but it was always turned off. This made him realize that his number must have been deleted and blocked by Yanyan a long time ago, which made it impossible for him to contact her.
He searched everywhere the whole night last night, went to several bars and Internet cafes, and almost didn't sleep all night, but he couldn't find Yanyan. Finally, he had no choice but to find a female friend who had a close relationship with Yanyan and called Yanyan several times using her mobile phone.
The call was finally connected, but he didn't expect that the person who answered the phone would be a man. Ji Shenshen suddenly felt a little nervous, as he was afraid that Yanyan would be bullied.
Lin Shixu was still unaware of his confused thoughts. After a moment's silence, he relaxed his brows and patiently replied, "She wasn't feeling well today and slept at my place last night. Do you have anything else to say?"
When Ji Lingshen heard this, his body suddenly froze. His face twisted and twitched for a moment, and his fingers clenched the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white. At that moment, his heart felt as if pricked by a needle and twitched uncontrollably.
A violent and chaotic emotion suddenly overwhelmed Ji Shenshen's entire head, and it suddenly buzzed, as if he was hit hard by a stick, and the pain made him completely unable to cope.
It felt like something was blocking deep in his throat, causing his breathing to stagnate and his chest to feel stuffy and heaving. He was completely unable to control his emotions and was unable to speak.
It took him a long time to finally find his voice.
Ji Yanshen suppressed the chaotic emotions in his chest. He vaguely heard that the voice on the other side was somewhat familiar, more than a little familiar. He eliminated the men Yanyan knew one by one, and finally fixed on a certain man. Ji Yanshen's face instantly became uglier, and he suddenly said:
"Lin...Time sequence?"
As soon as Ji Lingshen finished speaking, he realized that his voice had become dry and hoarse, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand, and it sounded very unpleasant.
Lin Shixu's eyebrows twitched slightly, perhaps he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person on the other side would recognize his voice so quickly. However, he did not deny it. Instead, he responded calmly.
"Yes, it's me."
Ji Shenshen's expression seemed inexplicably gloomy under the illumination of the dark blue screen.
He suddenly remembered what Yanyan had once told him: if he and Zhou Youyou were not clear about their relationship, she would retaliate by getting entangled with Lin Shixu. This realization made Ji Shenshen's expression twisted instantly.
All the emotions on his face were suppressed, and his eyes were dark without any trace of emotion. After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Where's Yanyan? I want to talk to her."
Hearing this, Lin Shixu was silent for a moment. He frowned and no one knew what he was thinking.
He turned his head and stared at the woman in the bathroom who had not finished washing for a while. Thinking of how she was drunk last night and wanted to kill herself for a man, and how she had tortured him the whole night, he inexplicably felt a little upset.
He could have thrown her out last night, but he didn't. He knew what that meant, so he didn't want that woman to have anything to do with his ex anymore.
Lin Shixu looked for a while, then turned his head to look at his bedroom. He had not had time to change the new sheets yet. Thinking of the scene he had just seen, he made the hint more obvious.
"She's too tired to get up yet."
He spoke calmly and hung up the phone.
Perhaps he had not thought about how destructive power his simple words could have.
Especially when Ji Lingshen on the opposite side heard these words, his expression suddenly became gloomy. At that moment, he almost had the urge to smash his phone to pieces.
After the other party hung up the phone, Ji Shenshen lowered his head and stared for a while with a gloomy look in his eyes. Then he couldn't help but kicked a dead branch under the building in the community and broke it. The broken branch was crushed by his heel.
Finally, he returned the phone to his friend who was waiting in the lobby, said thank you, and turned around and left alone.
On the other side, Lin Shixu was also not idle. He hung up the phone and didn't take the matter to heart.
He turned and walked into the room, put on clean sheets again, and after making sure there was no major problem, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out a whole set of new shirts and underwear from the closet and put them on the stool at the bathroom door.
Then he knocked on the glass door and asked her in a very calm tone if she had any specific brand of sanitary napkins.
This question made Nan Yan confused. She didn't react at first, and then she remembered that she didn't even bring a sanitary napkin when she had her period.
She was not as thoughtful as a man this time. Nan Yan patted the door and said that there were no requirements and that any normal one could be used. Lin Shixu said, "Okay, I got it."
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Nan Yan now found that this man was quite considerate, at least more considerate than last night. She slept in his arms like this for the whole night. The welfare benefits were improved so much all of a sudden that she felt a little uncomfortable. She always felt that the man was doing something bad.
But no matter what, sanitary napkins were definitely needed, and he was willing to help, and she of course gladly accepted.
In fact, Lin Shixu does not have much avoidance or so-called shame about these physiological common sense. To him, these reactions are normal human metabolism.
He was even able to say a little about how women's menstruation is caused by the periodic shedding of the endometrium, which is a regular metabolic process, which means that the other person's body is healthy and it's not a bad thing.
After asking, Lin Shixu put on his coat and went downstairs. There was a large supermarket a few hundred meters away with a complete range of products. In less than 20 minutes, Lin Shixu came back carrying a black plastic bag.
Nan Yan saw two packs of sanitary napkins, one for night and one for day, and a few unopened pairs of underwear, but she couldn't wear them right away because they hadn't been washed. She was still wearing his underwear. He was much more particular than her, and the sterilizing dryer at home was much more complete and cleaner than what she used.
I have to say, this guy's bad habit of cleanliness is not without its benefits. At least the clothes he wears are all sterilized at high temperatures, and they are indeed more comfortable to wear.
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at Lin Shixu who was using boiling water to disinfect the underwear. He was more skilled than a woman like her. Nan Yan was really shocked by his operation. Look, this is professionalism! As a doctor, he was more strict and professional than ordinary people when washing underwear. He washed a pair of underwear into a state that she couldn't afford to wear.
However, he seemed to be in a bad mood. Later, when I asked him, I found out that when he was buying underwear, he was almost mistaken for the obscene perverted man in the legal news by the supermarket lady. Not only was he almost kicked out by the lady, but he was also mercilessly mocked and accused of having moral problems.
After all, can a young man who buys sanitary napkins and women's underwear be a serious man?
Lin Shixu was so angry that his face turned blue. If he hadn't been worried about the bloodshed of the man upstairs, he might have walked over and had a talk with the old lady. Insulting others in public and infringing on their privacy and reputation would result in detention in serious cases.
Besides, who says men can't buy sanitary napkins? It's really annoying.
等到林時序清理好換洗的衣服後，走到客廳擡頭就看到坐在沙發上看手機的南嫣，看到他走過來時還随口問了一句。
“我閨蜜剛才跟你說什麽了？”
林時序看到她穿着自己的襯衫，下面又換了一件底褲，松松垮垮地露出脖子以下的肌膚跟兩條白生生的小腿，他的衣服對她來說明顯都有些寬松了，尤其是底褲。
林時序目光頓了下，然後轉過臉去，語氣沒什麽變化地回複道，“沒什麽，就是問你昨晚去哪兒了，為什麽沒回家，又為什麽不接電話，我跟他說你在朋友家休息的。”
他說得都是實話，不過就是稍微添了點油、加了點醋而已。
看到南嫣“哦”了一聲後就沒繼續追問了，心底知道她大概也沒将這事放在心上。
林時序轉頭看了一眼時間，才八點多鐘，便問了她一聲，“早飯要吃什麽？”
林時序猶豫了一下，其實他也說不準現在到底是什麽心情，只是覺得暫時還不太适合梳理兩人之間的關系。
畢竟真要談論下來，兩人昨晚什麽事都沒發生，他還沒那個立場去說這些話，進度發展太快容易招人反感。
南嫣轉頭看着他，總覺得這人哪裏怪怪的，好像睡了一晚上過後就徹底打通了任督二脈，對待她一下子就變得格外體貼了。
而且，她剛才洗澡時可沒錯過自己肩膀上的那些印子，不用想也知道，肯定是這人昨晚咬出來的，看來昨晚也不是什麽事都沒有發生的，就是她沒想到，性格悶騷的林醫生原來喜歡這種口味的，果然啊，外表越是正經嚴肅的，內心就越是悶騷不正經。
不過昨晚那種情況他都能扛得住，南嫣可不得誇他一句好忍耐嗎？
作為一個剛分手的女人，南嫣覺得自己不能那麽快地接受另一個男人，于是掃了他一眼，非常不知趣地問了聲，
“想吃什麽你都能做嗎？”
林時序微皺了下眉，“你确定，我做的很一般，你要是真想吃，我可以煮面條。”
南嫣立馬敲定了，“那我就要吃面。”
林時序瞥了她一眼，感覺這人就是故意在折騰他的，昨晚折騰了一整晚還不夠，今早還想着繼續折騰，她是欺負上瘾了是嗎？
不過林時序還是轉身進了廚房，他只會做些簡單的菜式，畢竟他不是很喜歡油煙的氣味，但偶爾也會買些牛排自己回來煎，畢竟廚房不是擺設，他也不是生活白癡。
那邊坐在沙發上的南嫣一轉頭就看到林時序有模有樣的進了廚房，先是清潔餐具，然後去冰箱拿各種材料，那姿态做起來還真挺像那麽回事的。
他居然沒有第一時間沖過來把她打一頓，這讓南嫣有些吃驚，然後就看他轉身，動作還挺熟練地打了兩個雞蛋下面。
南嫣看他那樣，就想再試試這人的底線，沒辦法，她就是有一顆想作妖想欺負人的心，于是就對着廚房說了一聲道：
“別以為你施些小恩小惠我就會原諒你了，我可沒忘記你昨晚對我幹的那些好事。”
南嫣将沙發上的抱枕抱進懷裏，一邊說話一邊轉頭打量起了四周的場景，冷棕色的現代化裝修風格，視覺效果格外寬闊，極簡主義美感，幹淨是真的幹淨，屋裏被收拾得一塵不染的，地板上幹淨得都能反光了。
“我昨晚對你幹什麽好事了？”
林時序從冰箱裏拿出純淨水，聽到她的話，忍不住轉頭問了一句。
南嫣又氣又惱擡眸瞪他一眼，臉頰微紅，顯然是覺得這人明知故問，實在有夠不要臉，“你還好意思問我怎麽了？”
林時序皺眉，他昨晚并沒有對她做什麽事情，反倒是自己被她折騰得夠嗆。
“這種事情還用我說得那麽清楚嗎？”
南嫣裝模作樣羞惱轉過臉去，然後擡手就扯開了半邊已經，露出脖子上那些因親吻得太過用力，而遲遲褪不下去的紅色印子。
看到那些，林時序的身體頓時僵硬了一下，思緒立馬被拉了回去，昨晚發生的事情悉數湧入腦海中，兩人緊緊糾纏的模樣……鬼知道他昨晚為什麽會沒有克制住自己。
林時序心口輕輕顫動了一瞬，耳垂也微微有些發熱，他覺得現在的情緒有些奇怪，但還是克制着，并沒有表露出來。
林時序轉身進了廚房，隔了整個客廳的距離才松了口氣，然後聲音故作平靜地說了聲，“誰讓你不管不顧地撲過來，我早說過讓你老實點了。”
偏偏身後的女人還不依不饒，一邊扒着自己領口，一邊譴責他：
“我胸口還有，肩膀上都是牙印，都快被咬破皮了，你說你是下了多重的口，不知道的還以為我昨晚被你虐待了。”
“我就知道的，你們男人沒一個是好東西的，明明嘴上說着別鬧啊、不要啊，其實一點反抗的動作都沒有，身體表現可誠實了。”
那張小嘴不停叭叭，跟個深閨怨婦似的，眼神時不時地幽怨瞅過來一眼，在他看過去的時候恨恨瞪上一眼。
林時序聽到最後，感覺自己額頭青筋都忍不住抽搐了兩下，果然，昨晚覺得她溫順安靜又乖巧的模樣全都是假的，都是錯覺！
直到林時序将煮好的面條端上桌子，南嫣這才停止了持續性輸出的嘴，這面條煮得還挺像那麽回事的，碧綠的青菜配着乳白色的湯汁，兩個碗裏各放了一個煎蛋。
南嫣坐在位置上，看着碗裏的煎蛋，又看看他的碗，“我不想吃雞蛋。”
話音剛落，對面那人微不可見地蹙了下眉，擡頭看她一眼又收回視線，“你太瘦了，雞蛋可以補充點營養跟蛋白質，對身體有好處。”
林時序現在又發現了這人身上的一個缺點，除了啰嗦麻煩事情多之外，她還挑食，真是不好養。
“那我跟你換，肉也很有營養。”南嫣戳了下雞蛋，翻出底下切的薄薄的肉片，她夾起來放進嘴裏，還跟他說，“我喜歡吃肉。”
這動作分明就是故意的，吃過的筷子放進碗裏，擺明了就是想看他能不能忍受。
其實林時序一開始聽到這話的時候是有些抗拒不适應，不過仔細想想，似乎也沒有抗拒的必要了，畢竟昨晚兩個人都那樣親密了，他其實對她已經沒什麽抵觸的心理了。
于是林時序又看了她一眼，“你想吃肉的話下次可以跟我說，我直接分給你就是了，不用換來換去的，麻煩還不衛生。”
南嫣不依不饒的，“我就是要跟你換。”
林時序看她現在就跟個故意作亂的熊孩子似的，不達目的誓不罷休，按照正常人的眼光來看的話，這大概就是要“作”了。
林時序嘴角抿了下，心底隐隐有些無奈的感覺，他便将碗推過去一點點，“那你夾給我，我把肉給你。”
南嫣看他臉上似乎真的沒什麽抗拒嫌棄的情緒，就真将碗裏的雞蛋夾過去了，還順帶着把人家碗裏的肉片一掃而空，一來一回的，動作幅度也不大。
然後兩人開始吃面，林時序的目光不自覺地看過去，她頭發被一根皮筋紮起來了，耳邊垂落了幾縷又被拂到了耳後，吃面時嘴唇一張一合的動作，小口小口，看上去很斯文。
大概是溫度有些燙，林時序看到她嘴唇被燙得紅豔豔的，像塗了一層唇釉一樣泛着水光，讓他不自覺地就想到了昨晚的情形，哄兩聲就能乖乖張着嘴給他親的模樣。
于是腦海中驀地浮現出幾個靡豔的畫面，嘴唇被吮吸得微微充血，嘴唇微微張着，唾液分泌，口腔內的舌尖紅豔豔的，沾染些晶亮暧昧的光澤，像是被欺負慘了。
其實接吻，似乎也沒他想象中的那麽難以接受，而且好像有點上瘾。
其實道理很簡單，就是接吻會刺激人體分泌出某種荷爾蒙，讓腎上腺素傳遞到身體各處，所以接吻的時候，男女雙方，彼此間的身心都會處于一種輕松愉快的狀态。
林時序沒說話，收回視線，低着頭安靜地将面吃完。
等到兩人都吃完早飯，林時序便将桌上的餐具收進廚房，洗碗機自動清潔，他自己則是去衛生間重新清理了一遍手掌，确定沒有任何不适之後，這才回到了客廳。
林時序看到坐在沙發上打游戲的南嫣，就在他猶豫着要不要把兩人之間的關系說清楚一點的時候，他聽到門外鈴聲忽然響了。
林時序走過去，透過貓眼，他看到了門口站着的兩個人，眉頭不自覺皺了下，周柚柚跟季蘊深，這兩人怎麽會一起過來的？
林時序打開門，門口的兩人就那樣站着，季蘊深的眼神冷漠，兩人視線對上，一種難言的情緒在他眼裏醞釀壓抑。
如果不是最後的那一絲絲理智控制，林時序推測他可能是想直接沖上來給他一拳。
然後就聽到他問：“嫣嫣呢？”
Lin Shixu frowned slightly. He knew from the tone that the visitor had bad intentions, but his expression did not change much. He asked calmly, "What do you want to see her for?"
Ji Shen sneered upon hearing this, with an inexplicable hint of sarcasm in his voice. He was Yanyan's boyfriend, so what qualifications did this person have to ask him such a question? He clenched his fingers tightly.
"Are you kidding? Do I need to explain the reason why I went to see her? Lin Shixu, have you forgotten that you still have a pile of messes to deal with? Also, the relationship between Yanyan and I is closer than you think."
Ji Linshen was talking about Zhou Youyou, so Lin Shixu turned his gaze to Zhou Youyou who was standing beside him. Her face looked a little strange, and Lin Shixu couldn't tell what her mood was for a moment.
Zhou Youyou really didn't know what her mood was at the moment, but after Ji Lingshen came to her and said that Lin Shixu and Xia Nanyan went home together for the night, she did have a sense of unbelievable absurdity in her heart. She felt that this was impossible.
Lin Shixu has such a weird personality, how could he just casually bring a woman home to spend the night?
She would rather believe that he was deliberately taking revenge on her than believe that he would inexplicably change his quirks that he had had for so many years just for a stranger.
What were all her previous efforts? She had spent so many years with him in her previous life.
She had been pursuing him since she was a teenager and liked him, but he had always rejected her. He finally accepted her after she graduated from college, but then she discovered his suffocating quirks. Their relationship was like a melting glacier, which consumed all her love bit by bit, and in the end, she was left with only fatigue and unbearableness.
But if what Ji Yanshen said was true, then what were all the efforts she had made in her previous life?
Is she not even as good as a strange woman?
Thinking of this, Zhou Youyou suddenly looked up at Lin Shixu in front of her. She felt resentment in her heart, the kind of resentment that was powerless and unwilling. An uncontrollable sourness rose in her nose, making her suddenly feel like crying.
Lin Shixu frowned as he met Zhou Youyou's eyes. The breakup from a while ago slowly came to his mind. He suddenly didn't understand why Zhou Youyou showed such an expression to him.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a woman complaining loudly from the living room behind him, and the sound of slippers dragging on the floor.
"Lin Shixu, why haven't you come over yet?"
"What are you dithering about? Can't you just get me a glass of water?"
"Have you forgotten what you did last night? My stomach still hurts."
"Lin Shixu, do you really want me to get up and walk? Don't you know that it's not convenient for me now..."
…
Before she finished her words, she had already walked to the outside of the living room, her eyes fell on the door, especially when she saw the two people standing at the door, the three of them looked at each other.
For a moment, the living room was silent.
The gazes of several people met in the air, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird and frozen.
Nan Yan even wanted to laugh. The person standing next to Zhou Youyou was her ex-boyfriend, and the person standing next to her was the other person's ex-boyfriend. How could this scene not look weird?
The scene was really lively.
Lin Shixu subconsciously turned his head to look at Nan Yan behind him, and saw her coming out wearing a loose shirt. He frowned immediately, especially the bright red mark on her neck that was clearly visible, and her two legs that were only wearing a pair of men's shorts, so bare that it was dazzling. Lin Shixu subconsciously put on the coat on the hanger and put it over her.
"You are not presentable like this. If someone takes a picture of you, it will easily be reported on the legal news. Put on your coat first."
Nan Yan thought about it and finally reached out to take it.
Not only did she put on her clothes obediently, she also deliberately held his hand. Lin Shixu glanced at their clasped hands, then looked up at her, his eyebrows slightly raised.
He was not a fool. Nan Yan's pretending to be intimate was obviously intended to irritate the man sitting opposite him.
But he didn't mind for the time being and just let her hold him.
This action obviously stunned the two people at the door.
Ji Linshen felt a fire burning uncontrollably in his heart when he saw this scene. His girlfriend was standing next to another man in dishevel, especially the intimate posture of the two. Ji Linshen felt his head buzzing and the blood in his body froze.
He stood there rigidly, his fingers clenched into fists.
Zhou Youyou, who was originally stunned, finally came to her senses. She looked at the two people's hands clasped together, and saw Lin Shixu's expression without any rejection or resistance. For a moment, she felt a huge impact on her chest. This emotion came so violently and suddenly that she felt as if a needle had pierced her throat and she couldn't utter a word.
Everything that happened next was so fast that it caught people off guard. The man opposite suddenly rushed over, grabbed Lin Shixu's collar without waiting for him to react, and punched him.
Lin Shixu was hit hard and staggered back a few steps. Nan Yan let go of his hand in time to avoid being implicated.
Perhaps Lin Shixu also realized this, and his attention fell on the woman opposite him who was pretending to be dead like an ostrich.
She had such a fake posture, and she didn't even look worried at all. She probably knew it herself. When they looked into each other's eyes, she pinched her thigh on purpose. Lin Shixu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and he felt a faint pain.
He really is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
He heard Ji Shenshen on the other side say fiercely, "Who do you think you are? Lin Shixu, you'd better stay away from my girlfriend. It's not your turn to intervene in our affairs."
Lin Shixu raised his hand and gently rubbed the area around his mouth. There was some blood on his fingertips. He raised his head and did not step back. Instead, he took a step forward calmly. "I didn't care about your business, but now you see that I was with her."
Ji Yanshen's eyes were filled with a kind of repressed emotion, and his fingers were pinching tighter and tighter. Finally, he sneered and stared at the man in front of him, "So, you don't understand what people say?"
