Chapter 230
The two of them made a lot of noise in the room for the whole afternoon. Dr. Lin, who stuck to his principles, didn't let her get close to him. It wasn't that he didn't like it. In fact, he found it quite interesting if they kept making noise like this.
But he always felt that his girlfriend was not very reliable. Being with him was like those rich guys bullying the young girls in TV dramas. She was just taking advantage of him.
Dr. Lin thinks this is not a bad thing, after all, it is also something that can reflect one's own charm.
But he was not with his girlfriend just to sleep with her. He felt that he liked her likable personality and wanted to enhance the mutual understanding and feelings, rather than fooling around with her for no apparent reason.
Especially since she is bleeding profusely, anyone who sees her would get a headache.
After being noisy for the whole afternoon, the girlfriend finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and slept on her boyfriend's lap for the whole afternoon. Lin Shixu used him as a pillow and read medical books for the whole afternoon. He was really absorbed in reading. When his eyes got tired, he looked down at his girlfriend and suddenly thought this was quite interesting.
When Nan Yan woke up, she saw her boyfriend wearing glasses and looking at the medical book in his hand seriously. His brows were relaxed and his eyes were calmly staring at the rows of symbols and handwriting. In his other hand, he held a ballpoint pen and scribbled on the blank page next to it some structures of the human body.
Nan Yan couldn't help but. Being able to concentrate on reading under such circumstances, this was probably sigh the spiritual world of a top student. He was obviously not the same type as a playful and noisy scum like her with an empty head. Anyway, she couldn't achieve such a state, but it didn't prevent her from having a good impression of such people.
Nan Yan just stared at him, admiring her boyfriend's handsome face, but suddenly she thought of something, her brain skipped a beat, and she instantly became much more sober.
If she had a quarrel with her boyfriend in the future, would he be able to continue to torture her as described in the news, stabbing her 27 times without killing her, and avoiding her vital parts with every strike, leaving her with a small life? The more she thought about it, the more creepy it became.
Lin Shixu soon noticed her strange look. It would not have had any effect at first, but the more she looked at her, the weirder her look became. Lin Shixu didn't know how he had offended her. Why did she look at him with such disgust when she woke up?
The rejected doctor frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows and said in a slow voice, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you still not awake? Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Lin Shixu patted the sofa, looking very serious. Nan Yan coughed and said to him indirectly, "Do you know? I saw a very scary social news some time ago."
Lin Shixu hummed, then looked down at her again. He didn't know why she changed the subject so quickly, but he still asked politely, "What news?"
"It was a couple who were very loving but had a conflict. The girlfriend was so angry that she stabbed her boyfriend more than ten times. The stabs avoided vital parts and were not fatal. In the end, the court ruled that the injuries were minor and they were settled privately with compensation." Nan Yan exhaled and patted his arm, looking very serious. "Do you know? It is said that the girl is also studying medicine."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Shixu's eyelids suddenly twitched. Listening to her telling this extremely absurd legal story, he suddenly felt like laughing. He probably knew what she wanted to say.
Lin Shixu pinched her fingers and continued her topic, "I think I've heard about it, but more than a dozen stab wounds are unlikely. This is already considered a serious injury in medicine. Two or three stab wounds are probably fine. They can avoid vital parts and are not fatal."
Nan Yan felt a breath in her throat after listening to this, and she felt that this was the downside of dating an honest man like Dr. Lin. She was such a scumbag, if he found out that she was stuck with him just to lust after him and to spite her ex-boyfriend, who knows what, he might do something irrational when he gets angry?
Nan Yan was trying to persuade him, probably to test his bottom line, "Do you think you are an emotionally stable person?"
Lin Shixu thought about it. He obviously regarded these questions as his girlfriend's way of trying to understand him, so he replied naturally, "I guess so. I usually don't get angry that often. I will only get angry if something really annoys me."
In fact, Nan Yan also noticed this. His temper was not really that bad. Even after being tortured so much last night, he did not really abandon her. He was even a little hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.
But after he said that, Nan Yan felt a little curious again, "What would you be like when you really get angry?"
Of course, she had seen what this man looked like when he was really angry. She had seen it after sleeping with him in her last life, and was almost killed by him.
Lin Shixu held his girlfriend's hand. Normally, he rarely showed his emotions. As long as his private area was not invaded, he seemed to be easy to talk to. When he heard his girlfriend's curious voice, he turned his head and smiled, "Do you want to see me angry? When I'm really angry, I will definitely lose my mind. Anyway, it's not a good situation. My former friends are all afraid of me getting angry."
Lin Shixu frowned as he spoke.
Nan Yan tilted her head and casually hugged the pillow on the sofa into her arms. After thinking for a long time, she said, "If you are angry, will you get angry at your girlfriend?"
Lin Shixu finally couldn't help laughing this time. After talking for so long, he finally got back to the topic. He reached out and hugged his girlfriend who was leaning on the side. He was obviously in a good mood. "Are you afraid that I will bully you? Of course not. I'm not that bad. If you argue about these things with your girlfriend, I will only make you cry at most."
How dare you make her cry?
This made his girlfriend's face change color immediately, and she was in a very bad mood. She bit his neck like a tiger pouncing on its prey. How dare she?
Now he dares to say such things in front of her! It is obvious that he has not yet fully faced the reality. If he is not taught a good lesson, he will be in trouble in the future!
Nan Yan made a fuss and bullied him, but Lin Shixu did not fight back. His neck was slightly itchy where she bit him, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After his girlfriend had made enough noise, Lin Shixu looked up at the time on the wall. It was already past five o'clock.
Then he patted Nan Yan on the back and asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner. After all, it was not early anymore.
Of course Nan Yan wanted it, and she quickly stamped a clear mark on her boyfriend's neck, and warned him to be honest in the future, otherwise this would be the same fate.
Lin Shixu raised his eyebrows slightly, and instead of responding to her, he reached out and touched that place, then let her go. Then the two of them went back to the house, changed their clothes, and prepared to go out for dinner.
This was probably the first serious date between the two of them. Lin Shixu originally wanted to take her to a western restaurant in a building in the city center for dinner. The environment there was relatively clean, but Nan Yan dragged her to a nearby roadside stall with a not-so-good environment.
It's not that Lin Shixu disliked it, but he instinctively resisted this kind of environment. There were many people chatting and drinking beer around him, which he just felt was very noisy. In such an atmosphere, let eating alone, even just sitting there would make him feel uncomfortable.
He probably knew what his girlfriend meant by this, and it was probably a deliberate revenge.
Lin Shixu felt that this might not work. He took a deep breath and reached out to hold his girlfriend's hand that was pushing the door open. "Why do you have to come here? It would be better if we could go home and I would do it for you."
Nan Yan's main point at this time was sincerity. She raised her head slightly and looked at people with her eyes without any guilt. "But I just like it here. Don't you want to?"
Lin Shixu frowned, looked down at his girlfriend, and asked her, "If I say I don't want to, will you leave with me?"
Nan Yan shook her head decisively this time.
"That's not the case."
She didn't fall in love with this man to suffer. If she really had to accommodate him in every way in order to maintain their relationship, then what was the point of such a life? Anyway, it was other people's business whether they were willing to accommodate him, and she definitely didn't want to do that.
People are all double-standard. They all hope that the other person can change for them, but they don't like themselves to change because of the other person.
Lin Shixu's expression changed slightly, and he pursed his lips, obviously unhappy. Nan Yan saw that he was trying hard to suppress his emotion, and he probably had the urge to let go of her hand and turn around and leave.
After a moment's silence, he really let go.
But this is actually a tentative attitude. While she is testing his bottom line, he is also testing her bottom line.
After all, it is in the early stages of a relationship, and two people who are unfamiliar with each other are slowly getting to know each other better.
When Nan Yan saw this, her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she didn't react too much. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight, and she never expected this person to get rid of this bad habit in a short time.
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
So Nan Yan ignored him. She reached out to push the door, turned around and was about to go in. But before she left, the person behind her saw her leaving without hesitation, and suddenly reached out his loose hand and grabbed her wrist.
"etc..."
Lin Shixu didn't expect that this person would give up so without hesitation, and she didn't even want to beg him. Her attitude made Lin Shixu realize clearly that she might not care about him that much. Even if they were a couple now, letting go was just a matter of thought for her.
This attitude suddenly made Lin Shixu feel less confident. He felt that he might care about her more. At least when it comes to his girlfriend, he can't just let go so easily.
Thinking of this, Lin Shixu felt inexplicably annoyed. He felt that he was probably a little too sentimental. But weren't they a couple? Wasn't it normal for couples to have occasional disagreements?
If he didn't want to do something, wouldn't she say a few nice words to coax him and then beg him to do it? Isn't this the most normal step for couples in a relationship?
Nan Yan turned and looked at the man.
It can be seen that he is a little irritable now, but he is trying very hard to control this emotion.
Lin Shixu thought about it and said something. He seemed to have calmed down. "I know what you mean. It's not that I can't change. It's just that there are some things I can't control. And... these habits that affect my daily life have been going on for a long time. Don't have too much hope in me."
Anyway, this meant that he was willing to compromise. Upon hearing this, Nan Yan immediately smiled at him, tiptoed to give him a kiss on the face, then turned around and walked inside.
This attitude is also very perfunctory.
The boyfriend behind her was still standing there without moving.
Lin Shixu actually paused for a moment. After she kissed his face, he subconsciously touched the slightly wet area. He didn't know what his mood was at the moment. It was probably a little strange.
The restaurant was not big, but it was clean. There were a few young couples sitting in the restaurant eating. It was probably not mealtime yet, so there were not many people in the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them entered the store, the owner of the store came over to greet them. When he saw Nan Yan's familiar face, he smiled with all his face wrinkles, "Girl, you're here to eat with your boyfriend again. Is the food still the same as before?"
From the tone of voice, she knew that he was a regular customer. Nan Yan immediately smiled and replied, "It's still the same as before."
She turned around and found an empty seat to sit down, dumped the chopsticks out of the bamboo tube and put them away, then asked Lin Shixu sitting opposite her, "Do you like spicy food?"
Lin Shixu nodded and said, "It's all right."
Nan Yan turned around and continued to instruct the shop owner. Lin Shixu listened to the two of them chatting back and forth for a few sentences. They were all talking about things in the past. He listened to the boss occasionally joking about the topic, and even asking her if she and her boyfriend were going to get engaged, and his expression gradually became a little strange.
Even if he was stupid, he should have realized that this was the place where she and her ex-boyfriend often went for dates and meals, otherwise the store owner would not have greeted her as soon as she entered the door and would have mistaken her for someone else.
This realization made Lin Shixu, who was already in a bad mood, feel a little resistant. It might be that the environment here really made him uncomfortable, or after knowing this, he felt a sense of alienation in his heart.
The situation did not get better afterwards. Probably during dinner time, Lin Shixu asked a few questions about the past, which made his girlfriend visibly impatient. Then, the two of them were in a bad mood during the meal.
In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that the time they spent together was too short, and what happened before was too quick. It's impossible to be free of grudges so quickly.
…
The atmosphere afterwards became a little subtle.
After the two finished their meal, they left the restaurant one after the other. Nan Yan could clearly feel that this man was a little unhappy. She had finally managed to coax him into a more normal state, but now he was not normal again.
In fact, it was also his own fault. He had to bring up the past for no reason during the meal and he even asked her why she had to come here to eat.
What other reason could there be? Because the food here is delicious.
His questions were too long-winded. Nan Yan didn't want to tell him at first, but later she got annoyed and just told him the truth out of spite.
I said that when I was in school, I often went to this place with my friends to have dinner. As for who the friend was, it was obvious that he must be my boyfriend.
After all, we had just entered college at that time, and we were all penniless students. Even if we had some living expenses, we didn’t have a lot of money, so the places where we could date, eat and promote our relationship were naturally these snack streets and roadside stalls.
Now that's good. After saying this, Lin Shixu, who was already in a bad mood, looked even uglier.
Then the scene became strange and hard to explain. The man didn't get angry and maintained a calm attitude until the two of them finished their meal. He was very proud and didn't say another word to her.
Maybe he wanted to wait for her to give in first?
But since he didn't say anything, Nan Yan naturally didn't want to speak either. The two of them just held hands and walked quietly on the road, one in front and the other behind. It was getting late, and the street lights on both sides of the road were lit up.
This stretch of road is also quite busy at night, especially after dark, when the car lights are flowing on the road, it is easy for people to relax.
It was not until they got in the car that Lin Shixu turned around and looked at his girlfriend in the driver's seat. He didn't get angry or raise his voice, but just asked calmly:
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Nan Yan didn't know what to say. What could she say? It was just a bad meal. Who knew why this person was so unhappy for no reason?
She turned to look at the other person, and then heard him say calmly, "You brought me here because this is the place where you two used to date, right?" Lin Shixu continued to state a fact calmly.
Nan Yan thought back to her past memories and it was indeed the case. When she was dating Ji Yanshen, she often took him out for strolls under the pretext of fostering their relationship as a couple.
They didn't go to those high-end restaurants, but some not-so-famous but extremely stunning small shops, usually hidden in the entrances of small alleys and lanes. That's how the owner of the shop became familiar with the two of them.
After Lin Shixu said this, she naturally remembered what had happened in the past. However, it was not what he thought. She brought him here this time purely to test his bottom line. Who could have known that he would think of things in such a twisted way?
"Are you treating me as a replacement for him?"
Lin Shixu's tone became increasingly strange, and it was unknown what he was thinking of, but his expression suddenly became somewhat ugly. He was probably thinking of the first time they met.
In fact, it’s no wonder that he thought too much. After all, that day in Ji Jingshen’s house, this man mistook him for Ji Jingshen and subconsciously threw himself into his arms.
Lin Shixu tightened his fingers on the steering wheel slightly, turned his head and frowned at his silent girlfriend.
"You think I look a lot like your ex-boyfriend, so you want to repeat to me everything you did with him before?" His tone was relatively rational now. At least he was not angry yet. He was still waiting for her answer.
Nan Yan simply admired his imagination. She didn't know how he suddenly thought of these things. She felt that this man was being unreasonable. Not only women would be unreasonable, but men could sometimes be even more troublesome.
"You're silent because..."
Seeing that this man was never going to stop, Nan Yan finally lost her patience with him. She didn't think twice before speaking and simply glared at him, "So what?"
Lin Shixu: “…”
Lin Shixu was choked by this and was stunned for a moment.
Then his expression suddenly turned ugly, and it was obvious that he was angry. If his girlfriend hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have been as angry as a puffer fish.
Lin Shixu probably didn't expect her to be so direct. Originally, this shouldn't be a big deal. He just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he wanted to make things clear.
In fact, if she could just give in a little, or say a few nice words to fool him, the matter would have been over. He was not such a petty person and would not keep dwelling on the past. But she refused to even say these nice words.
Nan Yan shook off the man's hand, turned around and opened the car window beside her. The cool breeze outside blew into the car, and the hair that had originally hung on her shoulders was also blown up.
She turned her head to look at Lin Shixu beside her. His hand was still in the same position as before, and he stood there with a stiff expression. His other hand was gripping the steering wheel tightly. It was obvious that he was not the kind of man who would humble himself and coax his girlfriend.
Nan Yan couldn't help but glare at him. She was getting a little impatient now, and her tone was very unhappy. "Even if I take you to a place where you used to date your boyfriend, so what?"
Lin Shixu's fingers tightened involuntarily, his lips moved but no words came out.
Maybe he didn't know what to say to smooth things over. After all, he didn't really want to quarrel with her, and he didn't have the right position. Compared with the other person's relationship that had lasted for several years, he was nothing, and even the process of this love was so casual.
But he is her boyfriend now after all. Doesn't he have the right to be angry or jealous?
Lin Shixu felt a lump in his chest, but he had no place to vent his anger. He was not the kind of person who would lose his temper over such a small matter, so he had to hold it in.
After enduring till the end, Lin Shixu finally calmed down the emotions in his chest.
He then turned to look at her face, meeting her eyes for just a few seconds.
He looked away, and after a moment of silence, he pursed his lips and said stiffly, "Don't do this again in the future. I don't like it. You can take me somewhere else, and I will try my best to go with you."
In fact, it was just a matter of a few soft words, and even a fool could see what he was thinking, but his girlfriend beside him couldn't see it, and she had to make it seem like the two of them were in an irreversible conflict. Lin Shixu also understood the reason behind this, what he wanted was for Nan Yan to kiss and coax him like she did at home.
"Oh." Nan Yan responded in a neutral tone.
Lin Shixu came to his senses. Perhaps he thought her attitude was acceptable, so he wanted to push her a little further. He said hesitantly, "Don't contact him again in the future."
Both of them knew who he was referring to. Nan Yan did not reply but did not refute either. Instead, she gave him a slightly impatient look, which was obviously her tacit agreement.
So the man on the other side became a little bolder and his attitude became tougher. After thinking about it, Lin Shixu couldn't help but add the most important sentence. His tone was serious and earnest, and it also had a commanding tone, "Don't treat me like him."
This is what he wanted to say most.
Lin Shixu thought to herself that maybe his appearance was indeed somewhat similar to her ex-boyfriend, otherwise he would not have been mistaken for her boyfriend when they first met, but that didn't mean he was willing to be a substitute.
When Lin Shixu said this, his expression seemed a little reluctant. He placed two fingers on the steering wheel and tapped it twice. This was a subconscious action, probably to cover up his inner annoyance.
It was obvious that he knew that his request was a bit too much, and in fact he should have said these words a little later.
But the timing was right now, and Lin Shixu felt that since there was an opportunity, he would just say it naturally, so as to avoid having to look for another opportunity in the future.
Nan Yan finally couldn't help but look at him. She found that she didn't know that this man had such a shortcoming of being nagging, but these requests were not too excessive.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said compassionately, "Okay, I understand. Please take me home first. I want to go back and rest."
After working so hard for such a long time, Nan Yan was already exhausted. She relaxed her body and leaned back on the cushion of the back seat. Perhaps it was because people tend to become emotional when it gets dark.
In fact, there was no big dispute between the two.
These words made Lin Shixu pause in turning the key for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. After the car started, Nan Yan heard a slightly cold voice beside her, "Aren't you going back with me?"
Nan Yan said without thinking, "No, I want to go back to my own home. I have to go to work tomorrow. It's not convenient to live in your house and go back and forth."
Lin Shixu lowered his head and said "hmm".
He didn't force it, knowing that what happened last night could just be an accident in the course of their relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get in so quickly.
And accidents like this don't happen every day.
As the car moved, the amulet hanging in front of the car began to sway. Nan Yan turned her head to look out the window. Rows of street lights were passing by behind her. The night wind felt particularly cool on her face.
Now both of them were obviously in a much more stable mood.
The atmosphere in the car was gradually easing, but Lin Shixu could still sense that his girlfriend was a little unhappy today, probably because he had made too many demands.
The neighborhood was not far from where the two were having dinner, so the car arrived quickly. Nan Yan turned around and glanced at her boyfriend before getting out of the car. She didn't say much, but just casually said, "Thank you, I'll go home first."
Then he added: "Please be careful on your way back."
Lin Shixu responded and got out of the car.
Seeing that his girlfriend was about to leave, he paused for a moment. Then a hesitant and slightly irrational voice sounded behind him. Lin Shixu walked around the car several times before slowly walking over, touching his button.
"Did I make you unhappy tonight?" Lin Shixu asked her cautiously.
Nan Yan stopped under the street light at the entrance of the community when she heard the voice behind her. Lin Shixu walked over and blocked most of the light. He looked a little uncomfortable, although his expression was still calm.
Nan Yan looked at this person without saying anything, thinking, isn't this asking even though he already knows the answer? He's been giving her a cold look all night, and this is still a date. How can a normal person be in a good mood when faced with such a situation?
Lin Shixu hesitated for a while, thinking about what happened tonight, and felt that he still needed to promise her, "I won't mention those things again, I will forget about anything about my ex, and you can take me anywhere you want in the future. I was a little irrational today, probably because my emotions were a little out of control. I will try to be calmer in the future."
Although the tone sounded a bit forced, at least the attitude was there. He felt that Nan Yan was different from the girls he had met before. He was a little unsure of her bottom line. She was very nice when she was nice, but when she really touched her bottom line, she would be abandoned without hesitation.
He didn't know what attitude he should take towards this girlfriend. After all, the time they had been together was really too short, and she was different from other opposite sexes.
To be honest, Nan Yan wasn't really angry. She just felt that this guy was troublesome and liked to think too much. He was always procrastinating and sometimes even more fussy than a woman.
However, seeing this man actively seeking peace and admitting his mistake, her mood instantly improved a lot.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, and suddenly reached out to rub her boyfriend's face until it turned red. Then she couldn't help but smile, "Well, actually I'm not really angry. After all, I just wanted to share something I like with you. Who knew you would think of so many messed up things."
Lin Shixu also squeezed his girlfriend's hand, "Are you really not angry?"
Nan Yan shook her head, and then pulled away his fingers to pinch his ears. "Do I look like such a stingy person?"
Lin Shixu finally relaxed a little. He now knew that his girlfriend would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones. He lowered his head to glance at his girlfriend's face under the street light and moved a little closer. He could smell the shampoo on her hair, which was the same brand he used. This realization made his thoughts calm a lot. Then he stretched out his finger and touched his lips.
"Then you kiss here now."
As he spoke, he leaned forward to match his girlfriend's height so that it would not be so strenuous for her to stand on tiptoe.
However, this was probably the first time he asked for a kiss from someone, and although he pretended to be calm and rational on his face, he couldn't hide some of his body reactions. His fingers were clenched and his body was a little stiff.
Nan Yan: “…”
She also didn't expect that this man would be so obvious in his desire for a kiss, and he said it directly without any hesitation.
What happened to your introverted nature?
