Chapter 231
After the little friction, things returned to normal between the two, and the matter just passed. Neither party mentioned what happened that day again, and the two were just like all other couples.
They have been getting along normally, usually going out for dinner after get off work. There are no messy things to disturb them, and the relationship between the couple is becoming more and more stable.
As for the affairs of the other two people, Nan Yan didn't pay much attention to them. She was not in a hurry. Whether it was out of regret or unwillingness, the other party would come to find them sooner or later.
Maybe what she said was what she expected. Just within these few days, when Nan Yan was lamenting that her life was boring and there was no one to make trouble for her, at this very moment, Nan Yan received a call from Zhou Youyou.
To be honest, this call was really unexpected. She originally thought that the ex-boyfriend would come to her first, but unexpectedly, it was Zhou Youyou who came first.
After the call was connected, the tone of the person on the other end was not friendly, and even contained a hint of resentment and anxiety. It was obvious that he was venting his emotions to her.
"Xia Nanyan, do you still have a conscience? Ji Yanshen was in a car accident, did you know that?"
Zhou Youyou almost lost control of her emotions when she shouted this to the other side. She didn't know what was going on now.
A person who was perfectly fine in his previous life inexplicably got into a car accident in this life, while she, who should have been in a car accident in her previous life, is now safe and sound.
She now even wondered if it was because of her rebirth that the life of her childhood sweetheart had undergone such unexpected changes, but this was not the result she had ever wanted.
In fact, she was really unhappy during this period, and almost everything went against her expectations.
Obviously, some time ago, Ji Lingshen still had some affection for her. At least because they had been childhood sweethearts, he did not blame her too much even when he was angry. But after he had an argument with Lin Shixu last time and broke up with Xia Nanyue completely, he is now too lazy to even see her.
The car accident happened last night. She had no idea what happened. When she couldn't get through to Ji Lingshen on the phone, she learned from a friend that Ji Lingshen had been in a car accident at night.
Nan Yan was indeed a little surprised by such sudden news. She did not expect Ji Lingshen to get into a car accident. However, listening to the blaming tone of the person opposite her, it seemed that Ji Lingshen's car accident was all caused by her.
But she has been very well behaved all this time and hasn't done anything bad, okay?
The tone of the person on the other end was genuine and did not sound fake. Nan Yan could even hear the other person crying and complaining. Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for her to have no reaction.
After all, she certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity. No matter what her position was, regarding the matter of her ex-boyfriend being in a car accident, Nan Yan felt that if she didn't go too far, there would definitely be no problem in going to take a look. So after asking for the address and ward number, Nan Yan planned to go to the hospital to check the situation.
…
At the hospital on the other side, Lin Shixu calmly watched the scene in front of him. Although it was a little unexpected, it was not unacceptable. Ji Yanshen had been in a car accident, and the one who took care of him was his ex-girlfriend. This scene seemed a little weird no matter how you looked at it.
However, Lin Shixu was not the attending physician. He just came with his colleagues to make rounds and record the patient's condition.
Actually, Ji Shenshen's injuries were relatively fortunate and not life-threatening. Most of the injuries were minor. However, car accidents are always serious. His left shoulder was scratched by the windshield. The wound was about two fingers long and he bled a lot, so he looked quite scary when he was brought to the hospital.
After Lin Shixu finished his rounds, he wrote down all the symptoms in a book. When he was done, he turned around and prepared to leave, but his ex-girlfriend couldn't help herself and chased after him.
Zhou Youyou made no effort to hide her resentment and dissatisfaction, "Lin Shixu, now that you see me, you don't even have a word to say? Do you think I'm sorry for you, so every time you see me, you turn a blind eye to me."
Zhou Youyou's eyes were a little red, especially when she said this, and it was obvious that she couldn't control her emotions.
She didn't know if it was because the pressure and shock she had been under recently were too great. She really couldn't stand the look of him turning a blind eye to everything, as if she was doing him an injustice.
But that was obviously not the case. She had given him many chances in his previous life, but he had never been willing to change for her. How could he put all the blame on her now?
The scene of Ji Shenshen lying in the hospital in front of her inexplicably reminded her of the scene in her previous life when she was lying in the hospital with no one paying attention to her. Especially when she saw her ex-boyfriend wearing a cold doctor's uniform and walking past her with an expressionless face, but looking indifferent the whole time, that scene seemed to overlap with the latitude of her previous life at some point.
Memories of two lifetimes flooded into her mind all at once. For a moment, she even felt a little resentful. She resented why he was so indifferent, why she was the only one who had memories of her past life, why she was the only one who was brooding over the past, and she even lacked the confidence to accuse him of being indifferent.
She thought that she would be able to change everything after being reborn, but now nothing has changed. Not only did she lose her boyfriend, she even lost her childhood sweetheart, the only person who truly loved her.
If Lin Shixu's bad habits could not be changed like in his previous life, and he still resisted anyone getting close to him, she might not be so resentful! But not long after she proposed breaking up, this person could easily give all those responses and love to another person without reservation.
How could she possibly accept this?
She thought he at least felt a little bit of guilt and attachment to her, but what does it matter now?
When Lin Shixu heard this, his brows slightly wrinkled. He turned his head and glanced at his ex-girlfriend who was standing behind him with red eyes.
It was obvious that he didn't quite understand where her deep hatred for him came from. After all, he had never done anything excessive to her. Sometimes he even wondered if Zhou Youyou was resentful of someone else through him.
But this is unlikely.
Lin Shixu suppressed his worries and glanced at the notebook in his hand. He felt that she must be sad because of Ji Linshen's matter, so she was so irrational. So he looked at her again and said in a steady voice:
"He's fine now. The attending physician should have told you that he will regain consciousness after the effect of the medicine wears off. All he needs to do next is stay in the hospital to recuperate. If there's nothing else, I have other things to do."
Perhaps she was really irritated by his official attitude, Zhou Youyou's eyes, which were originally filled with moisture, suddenly burst into hatred, and she couldn't help but yell at him.
"Lin Shixu, you know nothing at all. You have always been the worst person. Why are you so cold and indifferent now? I am the victim in this relationship. Why are you treating me so righteously?"
If it was in the previous life, when she said this, Lin Shixu might have been affected a little, after all, the time they had been together was not short, but now, Lin Shixu just felt confused. Fortunately, his emotions at the moment were still calm.
So he turned around and looked at his ex-girlfriend behind him. Lin Shixu's eyes met hers, and his brows had never relaxed during the whole process. He slowly pursed his lips, and his expression became serious. He was silent for a few seconds, and finally said calmly:
"It's up to you to think about it. I just think that since we have already separated, being indifferent is the last respect for each other. I don't mean to look down on you, nor do I think I am justified."
"You are the one who is out of control and thinking too much."
After saying this, Lin Shixu didn't bother to bother with her anymore. He just left and went to the next ward.
Zhou Youyou, who stayed where she was, clenched her fingers and watched the other person leave. The grievance and resentment in her heart suddenly surged out like a tide. Was it really all her fault? What was wrong with her wanting to live a better life? But now she really didn't know what to do?
…
On the other side, Nan Yan went directly to the hospital after receiving the news. In fact, when the car accident first happened, a kind-hearted person called her cell phone, but she had blocked Ji Linshen's number long ago, so she never received this message.
When she arrived at the hospital, Ji Lingshen, who was originally lying on the hospital bed, had actually woken up. After the effect of the anesthetic injection wore off, his body had regained consciousness.
However, Ji Shenshen still closed his eyes and rested.
There was no one else at the ward door at this time, and Zhou Youyou, who called her, had disappeared.
As soon as Nan Yan entered the room, she saw the young man lying on the bed. He had a thick bandage wrapped around his arm, a piece of gauze on his forehead, and was wearing a white hospital gown.
His face was pale and he looked obviously listless, but that was not surprising, after all, he had just been in a car accident.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan did not make a sound to disturb him from resting. She put the bouquet in her hand into the vase beside her, put down the fruit basket in her hand, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Perhaps because he had not drunk much water, his throat sounded noticeably dry and hoarse.
"Do you hate me so much now? You don't even want to say a word to me?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan paused in her movement to hold the door handle. It turned out that this man had woken up.
She turned her head and glanced at Ji Yanshen behind her, pursed her lips and said calmly, "No, I just didn't want to disturb your rest."
"Yan Yan..."
Nan Yan looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yanshen suddenly called her name, he slowly raised his head, and with some difficulty, he tried to sit up from the bed, but perhaps because he was injured, he had no strength in his body.
"Can you come and help me? My other hand is injured and I can't move it easily. I don't have the strength to hold it up."
Nan Yan did not step forward, but hesitated and said, "You just had surgery, you know your injuries are serious, so don't move."
Hearing this, Ji Shenshen suddenly lowered his head and chuckled, with an indescribable meaning in his smile.
Perhaps it was because of this car accident that his emotions were not as scattered as before, but became much more stable, and the relationship between the two of them became more harmonious.
Ji Lingshen looked at her expression and said in a light tone, "You don't like me, but you don't even want to help me? I won't do anything to you, so is this a small request?"
This person has also learned to retreat in order to advance.
Nan Yan seemed helpless after hearing this. She could only purse her lips, then walked towards the bed, slowly raised the seat cushion under the bed, and reached out to carefully help the patient up. When she had done everything and was about to step back -
Ji Shenshen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Nan Yan's wrist. He exerted force and pulled her forward. Nan Yan's center of gravity suddenly became unstable and her body uncontrollably pressed towards the person on the bed.
She didn't know exactly where the pressure was applied. She only heard a slight groan from the other person's mouth. It was obvious that he was hit hard, but even so, this person still didn't let go.
Nan Yan was startled by his sudden action. She subconsciously stood up and checked his body. "What are you doing? Don't you know that you are still injured after the operation?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly, especially when she saw that the gauze on his wrist had begun to bleed. Her face turned pale and she quickly reached out to press the pager on the bedside.
But the action was stopped by the opponent.
Nan Yan turned to look at him, "What are you doing?"
Ji Shenshen held Nan Yan's wrist and looked at the blood on it. He frowned and then slowly relaxed his brows. He said in a gentle tone, "No need to call for help. It was just a little pressure. It's not that serious, and it doesn't hurt much."
"It's not serious even though it's bleeding?"
Nan Yan's tone was obviously anxious, and because of this anxiety, she didn't care that the man was holding her wrist.
Perhaps because she looked a little unhappy, Ji Lingshen whispered to her, "How about you help me deal with it again? There is a small medicine box next to the bed. It's not a big deal, just a little bleeding."
Nan Yan was at a loss when she heard this. She looked at the man sitting peacefully at the head of the bed and saw the bleeding wound on his wrist. She could only open the small medicine box on the bedside cabinet and carefully unwrap the bloody gauze on his wrist. After carefully cleaning the blood, she applied some medicine and then wrapped it again.
Ji Shenshen was silent for a moment as he looked at Nan Yan who was carefully cleaning his wounds. He knew that it was somewhat despicable for him to use his injuries to keep someone here, but he really hadn't looked at her so quietly for a long time.
He looked at Nan Yan just as he did before. Neither of them spoke during the whole process. Yanyan's brows were furrowed the whole time, and her expression was careful and serious. From time to time, she would ask him if it hurt, or if she was too strong.
This process made him feel a little dazed, as if the two of them had returned to the time before they broke up. After the wound on her wrist was bandaged, Nan Yan put the bandage and gauze back on her hand, but accidentally touched a small box on the cabinet, and a ring fell out of it.
The ring fell to the floor with a slight "ding" sound, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere between the two. Ji Lingshen saw her pause, her eyes fell on the small ring on the floor, and he subconsciously held her hand.
He pursed his lips and wanted to tell her that he actually bought the ring in the store after their last quarrel, and originally wanted to express his feelings and attitude to her completely.
He thought that if she was really worried, they could get engaged first. He was just soft-hearted towards Zhou Youyou for a moment and only took care of her like a younger sister. However, before he could even say the words of apology, things became out of control as they did in the end.
He never thought of breaking up with her.
Ji Yanshen held Nan Yan's fingers tighter and tighter. He just kept looking at her. He didn't know how long it had been before he slowly asked, "...Yan Yan, can we make peace?"
Ji Lingshen's lips moved, his voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were still fixed on her face when he said this, as if he wanted to see a trace of emotion or hesitation on her face, but he seemed not to see it.
Nan Yan raised her face when she heard this. The look in her eyes when she looked at him actually didn't change at all. She just pursed her lips, and then slowly pulled her fingers out of his palm, "Ji Li Shen, it's over between us."
Her voice was soft and sounded calm.
"I have a new life now. I came to see you this time only because we were together before. Maybe what I said last time was a bit too much, but I don't want you to have any accidents because of the breakup."
Ji Linshen's face turned pale instantly.
His body became stiffer and stiffer, and his heart became sadder and sadder, too sad to describe in words. The only area of his body that still had any feeling was his chest. It felt as if something had pricked his heart, and the pain was so severe that his lips trembled uncontrollably.
His fingers were stiff as he tried to hold her hand. He finally managed to hold her fingers with difficulty, fearing that he would miss this last chance. "Don't say that, okay? I can change. I can change many things."
The conflict between them is not an irreversible one. He really knows he is wrong, so why wouldn't you give him another chance?
Ji Shenshen's throat was a little choked up, and his tone even carried a hint of begging, "I can promise that Zhou Youyou and I will definitely keep our distance from each other in the future. I really won't do those unnecessary things anymore, and I won't care about her affairs anymore. Yanyan, let's start over, okay?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and calmly pushed his hand away.
Not only that, she also stabbed him in the heart, turning his lips pale. "It's too late, Ji Linshen. I already have a boyfriend. It's not fake that I'm with Lin Shixu. Maybe in the future, we will get married..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Ji Linshen's fingers tremble uncontrollably, and the fingers that had been holding her tightly gradually relaxed.
After a long while, she finally heard the other party's difficult and dry voice, slowly ringing in her ears, "...Is there really no chance at all?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said nothing.
But the attitude was evident.
Ji Shenshen suddenly felt his eyes getting sore, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say. At this moment, even if he was slow, he should have known that it was impossible for the two of them to be together.
Perhaps he had this premonition a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it. Ji Lingshen suddenly felt the wound from the car accident start to hurt again.
The pain became more and more severe, as if a needle was stuck in the crevice of the bone and drilling into it. In the end, he didn't know where the pain came from, whether it was from his body or his chest. He didn't even know when the person next to him left him.
On the other side, Nan Yan just walked out of the door and ran into Zhou Youyou who was standing at the door. She didn't know when she came and how much of the conversation between the two she heard.
But her complexion looked very bad, and there was an indescribable depression in her expression, especially the look in her eyes, which contained a hint of sarcasm and disdain, probably because she thought she had no conscience and was not worthy of coming to visit Ji Shenshen.
Zhou Youyou suddenly said this, stopping Nan Yan who was about to leave, "I have something I want to make clear to you."
Nan Yan looked at her impatient expression but did not refuse, so the two of them walked to the corridor on the other side. This place was relatively remote and not many people were walking around, so even if some dispute occurred, it was unlikely to be seen by others.
Zhou Youyou looked at Nan Yan in front of her with resentment. She just wanted to make one thing clear, so she said straight to the point, "Ji Yanshen and I don't have any messy relationship. I will stay away from him in the future. Are you satisfied now?"
When Zhou Youyou said this, she inevitably felt resentment and grievance in her heart. She really felt that the woman in front of her was being unreasonable. After all, she and Ji Linshen had been together for more than ten years, and if you really wanted to count, Xia Nanyan was the outsider between her and Ji Linshen.
But what can we do now?
Because the breakup between the two had turned out like this, Zhou Youyou felt regretful and fear for the first time when she looked at her childhood sweetheart lying unconscious on the bed.
She was somewhat worried that because of her excessive meddling, the fate of her life would eventually befall her childhood sweetheart. Especially seeing how confused he had been during this period, she felt sad and embarrassed.
By now, she really couldn't help it.
After all, isn't Xia Nanyan's attitude to make her leave Ji Yanshen completely? Now that she has got what she wants, isn't it enough for her to not disturb their lives in the future?
So she said this directly to Nan Yan.
And Nan Yan now understood what she meant.
Perhaps she really thought that she was an innocent victim. Nothing had happened between her and Ji Lingshen, but she had to bear the resistance and harm from everyone.
Perhaps she felt that she was quite wronged, so in order to reconcile the two, she not only gave up her own obsession, but also let go of the childhood sweetheart relationship between the two, instantly transforming herself into the image of a victim who endured the grievance.
Nan Yan was also impressed by this man's way of thinking.
It was clearly her who inexplicably intruded into the relationship of other people's young couple from the very beginning, and now she is saying things like "stay away from him, are you satisfied now?" She sounded very aggrieved, as if others had wronged her.
But it was clearly all her own fault.
Nan Yan looked up at Zhou Youyou, "Do you think it's useful to say this now? Ji Lingshen and I have already broken up. Is it interesting to say these polite words to show your grievances now?"
Zhou Youyou's face turned pale instantly. She was not a fool and it was impossible for her not to hear the sarcasm in this person's tone. The string in her heart tightened, and her tone was naturally unfriendly:
"So what else do you want from me? I've already promised to stay away from you guys, isn't that enough for you?"
Her eyes were visibly red when she said this.
Nan Yan noticed that this person was a little emotionally unstable. She chuckled and looked at her and said, "It's okay. I will treat others the way they treat me. As for what you said, it has nothing to do with me now."
"Well, if you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving too."
After saying this, Nan Yan turned around and was about to leave.
Zhou Youyou on the opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment.
She might still be thinking about what she meant by what she said, and then she reacted quickly, as if she understood something vaguely. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Nan Yan's wrist, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her.
"So you're with Lin Shixu to get revenge on me?"
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at the other person, then suddenly chuckled and said, "So what? I was with him on purpose, what can you do? Are you only allowed to contact other people's boyfriends, but not others to get close to your boyfriend?"
"Zhou Youyou, don't you like to show off the deep relationship between you and Ji Yanshen in front of me? You flirt with him in front of me. You know his allergies better than I do. When you are drunk, you always like to go into my boyfriend's arms and like to tell him about your past..."
"You have no sense of propriety at all, and you don't know how to avoid suspicion. You act so affectionate with them in front of me, your girlfriend, as if I were the third party between you two childhood sweethearts. Do you really think that others are blind and can't see what you are thinking?"
These words successfully made Zhou Youyou turn pale.
Nan Yan smiled at the man and continued, "Then do you want to see how Lin Shixu treats me? Although he has a cleanliness fetish, he never resists me."
Perhaps it was these words that completely broke down Zhou Youyou's psychological defenses. For so many years, two lifetimes combined, this is what she has always cared about.
Zhou Youyou pinched her white fingers and tried hard to control her temper. She knew that this person was still brooding over what happened last time, but she didn't expect that she was so mean.
Zhou Youyou's eyes became redder and redder, her chest heaving, and she almost lost control and shouted at her, "So you took advantage of Lin Shixu's feelings, do you think you can take revenge on me this way? Xia Nanyan, don't you feel guilty for doing this?"
Nan Yan looked surprised, as if she found it ridiculous. "Why should I feel guilty? People like you don't have the slightest guilt, so why should I have such unnecessary emotions? Besides, Lin Shixu likes me now, doesn't he?"
After saying this, she was too lazy to continue to pester this man. Nan Yan actually didn't have the heart to deal with her, but this man's compromising attitude really made people feel uncomfortable.
Since this person made her uncomfortable, she would naturally return the favor without any reservation.
Zhou Youyou, who was standing aside, bit her lip with resentment in her eyes. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock just now.
It wasn't until Nan Yan left that she came back to her senses.
…
Neither of them noticed that a piece of white clothes flashed by at the corner of the corridor, stayed for only a short while, and quickly disappeared.
