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 sigh. Being able to concentrate on reading under such circumstances, this was probably 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 stuck 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 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 alone eating, 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.

這樣的态度讓林時序忽然間就沒那麽的有底氣了，他覺得自己對她的在意可能要多一些，起碼對待女朋友，他不可能做到就這麽随意地放手。

想到這裏，林時序心中又莫名的有些煩躁，他覺得自己大概是有點矯情上了，但他們不是情侶嗎？情侶之間偶爾有分歧不是一件很正常的事情嗎？

他不想做的事情，她難道就不會說兩句好聽的話哄哄他，然後央求他去做嗎？這難道不是情侶在交往中最正常的步驟嗎？

南嫣轉頭看着這人。

看得出來，他現在的情緒有些煩躁，但已經很努力地在克制着這種情緒了。

林時序想了想還是說了一句，他看上去已經平複了，“我知道你是什麽意思，我不是不能改，只是有些事情我自己也不能控制，而且……這些影響我日常生活的習慣，已經持續很久了，你不要對我報有太大的希望。”

反正這就是有願意妥協的意思了，南嫣聞言便立馬朝他露出一個笑，踮着腳往他臉龐上親了一口，親完轉身就往裏面走了。

這态度也敷衍得很。

而身後的男朋友還站着沒動。

林時序其實是頓了一瞬，在她親完自己的臉龐後，下意識地碰了碰那塊帶了點濕意的位置，他也不知道現在的自己到底是什麽心情，大概是有些奇妙。

這間飯館不大，不過還算幹淨。店鋪裏還稀稀拉拉地坐着幾對年輕男女在吃飯，大概是還沒到飯點的時間，飯館裏的人還不算多。

兩人剛一進門，店鋪老板就過來招呼了，尤其是看到南嫣那張熟悉的臉，笑得滿臉褶子，“丫頭，又跟男朋友過來吃飯啊，味道還跟以前差不多吧？”

聽這語氣就知道是熟客，南嫣立馬笑着應了一聲，“還跟以前一樣。”

她轉身找了個空位坐下來，把竹筒裏的筷子倒出來放好，又問對面的林時序，“你吃不吃辣？”

林時序點頭說了句，“都可以。”

南嫣便轉頭繼續跟店老板叮囑，林時序聽着兩人有來有往地聊了幾句，聊的還都是以前的事情，他聽着老板偶爾打趣提及的話題，還問她跟男朋友是不是要訂婚了之類的事情，臉色慢慢變得有些古怪起來了。

他就是再沒腦子也該意識到了，這地方應該是她跟她那個前男友經常過來約會吃飯的地方，要不然人家店老板也不會一進門就跟她打招呼，還認錯了人。

這個認知讓林時序原本就不怎麽樣的情緒又隐隐生出了幾分抵觸的心理，可能是這裏的環境實在讓他不适應，還有就是知道了這點事情後，心底莫名有些隔應。

之後的情況依舊沒有好轉，大概就是吃飯的時候，林時序追着從前的事情問了幾句，問得女朋友明顯有些不耐煩了，然後這頓飯就吃得兩人心情都不大好。

其實也不是什麽大事，只不過兩人在一起的時間太短，而之前發生的事情又太迅速，不可能那麽快的毫無芥蒂。

……

之後的氣氛也變得有些微妙。

兩人吃完飯後，一前一後的離開了小飯館，南嫣很明顯能感覺到這人是有些不高興了，本來好不容易把人哄得正常點了，結果現在他又不太正常了。

其實這事也怪他自己，吃飯的時候好端端的偏要提起從前的事情，還非要刨根問底，問她為什麽一定要來這兒吃飯。

還能是什麽原因，因為這兒好吃呗。

他問得太啰嗦了，南嫣本來是不想說的，後來煩了，幹脆就賭氣實話實說了。

就說以前在學校的時候經常跟朋友來這種地方約會吃飯的。至于是什麽朋友，那不用說也知道了，肯定是男朋友了。

畢竟那時候才剛上大學，大家都是沒錢的學生仔，就算是有點生活費，也不會有很多錢，所以約會、吃飯還能促進感情的地方自然就是這些小吃街跟路邊攤。

這下好了，這話說完以後，本來心情就不怎麽愉快的林時序臉色明顯更不好看了。

然後場面就變成這種詭異又不太好說清楚的氣氛，這人倒是也沒發火，面上還維持着那種冷靜的态度，一直到兩人吃完飯後，這人都很有志氣的沒再跟她說一句話。

大概是想等着她先來服個軟？

不過他不說話，南嫣自然也是不肯開口的，兩人就這麽牽着手，一前一後的安靜地在路上走着，眼看着時間不早，路兩旁的路燈也亮起來了。

這路段到了晚上也挺繁華的，尤其是天色暗下來後，路上車燈來往流動，就很容易讓人精神松懈下來。

一直到上了車之後，林時序這才轉過頭來看着駕駛座上的女朋友，他沒有生氣也沒有拔高聲線，只是很平淡地問了一句：

“你就沒什麽要跟我說的嗎？”

南嫣也不知道該說些什麽好，這能有什麽好說的呢？只是吃了頓不順心的飯而已，誰知道這人為什麽就莫名其妙的不高興了？

她就轉頭看着對方，然後聽到對方冷靜地說了一聲，“你帶我來這裏，就是因為這裏是你們倆從前常來約會的地方是不是？”林時序繼續面色平淡地陳述了一個事實。

南嫣回想了一下從前的記憶，還真是這麽回事，她從前跟季蘊深交往的時候，自然是打着小情侶要培養感情的名義，經常拐着對方到處溜達亂逛的。

他們去的也不是那些高檔餐廳，都是一些不怎麽出名卻格外令人驚豔的小店鋪，通常都藏在一些小胡同口跟巷子裏，那家店鋪的老板也是因此跟兩人熟起來的。

林時序這麽一說，她自然也就想起來從來的那些事情了，不過還真不是他想的那樣，她這次帶他來這裏純粹是想試探一下他的底線，誰能知道他會把事情想的這麽歪？

“你是在把我當他的替代品嗎？”

林時序的語氣越來越不對勁了，也不知道他是想到了什麽，臉色忽然就變得有些難看。他大概是想到了兩人的第一次見面。

其實也不怪他多想，畢竟那天在季蘊深的屋子裏，這人把他誤認成是季蘊深，下意識地往他懷裏撲的事情。

林時序捏着方向盤的手指微微緊了緊，轉過頭皺眉看着一言不發的女朋友。

“你覺得我跟你的前男友長得很像，所以要把從前跟他做過的事情也要跟我再重複一遍？”他現在語氣還算比較理智，起碼還沒生氣，還在等着她的答複。

南嫣簡直佩服他的腦洞，不知道他是怎麽突然想到這些事情上的，她覺得這人是在無理取鬧，不止女人會無理取鬧的，男人有時候折騰起來更麻煩。

“你不說話是因為……”

眼見着這人沒完沒了，南嫣也終于沒什麽耐心忍受他了，她這下說話也不過腦了，幹脆就順着他的意思直截了當的朝人瞪了一眼，“是又怎麽樣？”

林時序：“……”

林時序被這麽一噎，倒是愣了一瞬。

緊接着那臉色頓時也有些不好看了，明顯是被氣到了，要不是女朋友還坐在身邊，他現在能氣得像個河豚。

林時序大概也沒想到她會這麽直接，本來這應該也不算什麽大事，就是心底有些不舒服，所以想将這些事情說清楚而已。

事實上只要她能稍微服個軟，或者是說兩句好話糊弄一下，這件事情也就這麽過去了，他不是那麽小氣的人，不會一直追着過往不放，偏偏她連這點軟話都不肯說。

南嫣直接甩開這人的手，轉頭将身旁的車窗打開，外頭的涼風吹進車裏，原本垂落在肩上的頭發也被吹了起來。

她轉頭看着身旁的林時序，他的手還維持着剛才那個被甩開的姿勢，表情有些僵硬地愣在那裏，另一只手捏着方向盤的力道有些緊，很明顯能看得出來，這人也不是那種會低聲下氣會哄女朋友的人。

南嫣忍不住瞪他一眼，她現在也有些不耐煩了，語氣很是不快，“我就算是帶你去以前跟男朋友一起約會過的地方吃飯了，那又怎麽樣？”

林時序的手指不由收緊，他嘴唇動了動，卻什麽話都沒有說出來。

可能是不知道該說什麽來打圓場，畢竟他不是真的想跟她吵架，他也沒那個立場，跟人家好幾年的感情相比較起來，他什麽也不是，甚至這戀愛的過程都是這麽的随意。

但他現在好歹是她男朋友了，難道連生個氣，吃個醋的立場都沒有嗎？

林時序胸口堵了一口悶氣，但這口氣沒處發洩，他也不是那種會因為這種小事而大發脾氣的人，所以再生氣也只能自己忍着。

忍到最後，林時序終于将胸口的那股情緒慢慢平複下去了。

他這才轉頭看向她的臉，和她的視線對上，就那麽幾秒鐘的時間。

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?

…
