Chapter 237
I don’t know what Zhou Youyou was thinking, but she still told Ji Lingshen everything about her past life. She explained everything clearly and apologized to him. But what’s the use of apologizing now?
The three of them were in the room that smelled of disinfectant. It was a week later when Ji Lingshen learned the news, and the injuries he suffered in the car accident were no longer serious.
He told himself that he was not the kind of person who would dwell on things, and that he had made everything very clear during the last car accident. However, Zhou Youyou's words still stirred up ripples in his heart, and he wanted to know what Yanyan was thinking.
I want to try for one last chance. Even if I don't do anything, I want to make things clear to both of them. If we really miss each other in the end, then it's probably just that we are not destined to be together.
But before that, he had to meet Lin Shixu first.
So the situation has become like this. Nan Yan came to the hospital after receiving Ji Linshen's call, but after arriving, she saw Lin Shixu was also there. It seemed like something had happened between the two of them, and the atmosphere at the scene was obviously a little tense.
Ji Shenshen sat leaning on the hospital bed, looking deeply out the window, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The boyfriend on the other side lowered his head, and there seemed to be no strange expression on his face. However, when Nan Yan walked in, his body involuntarily paused for a moment.
Nan Yan hesitated for a while and walked towards her boyfriend, reached out and held his hand, then asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen between you two?"
The boyfriend took the opportunity to hold her fingers, and seeing her subconsciously walking towards him, Lin Shixu felt relieved. In fact, nothing happened between him and Ji Linshen. They just talked it out. Now that they knew everything, there was no need to hide it anymore. Lin Shixu was not the kind of person who would hold on to the past.
"Nothing... just a few words."
How could a few words cause such a mess?
Nan Yan didn't believe it, but that didn't stop her from pretending to be blind.
Hearing the noise, Ji Shenshen, who had been looking out the window, turned his head and his gaze fell on the two people's clasped hands. His eyes instantly became dim and gloomy.
Ji Yanshen frowned slightly, his eyes slowly fell on Nan Yan beside him, and he said in a low voice, "I remember that Doctor Lin still has a lot of things to do. I don't need to be taken care of for the time being. Can you please leave first?"
Lin Shixu frowned. This seemed to be a sign of sending him away. However, was there anything that couldn't be said face to face?
Lin Shixu didn't want to give the two of them a chance to be alone together. He always felt a little uneasy in his heart. This uneasiness might be because he and Yanyan's recent relationship was not handled well.
He turned his head to look at his girlfriend, and seemingly casually put his arm around her waist, "Do you want to go out with me? I remember you haven't had lunch yet, how about I take you out to eat?"
His expression softened a lot when he said this. He didn't want others to see the problems between them at this time.
However, the hands that he had always held in his palms gently pushed him away this time.
Nan Yan shook her head at him and said in a light tone, "I'm not hungry, go eat by yourself, I still have something to say to him."
Lin Shixu pursed his lips tightly. He suddenly felt that his usually calm mood was no longer calm at all. He actually wanted to just take his girlfriend away, but he knew it was impossible after thinking about it.
Lin Shixu's heart sank slightly. He paused for a moment before speaking, "Okay...then you guys chat first. You can come find me when you're done. I'll be waiting for you in the office."
He took a deep breath and said that he closed the door after leaving, but his face looked a little unhappy.
After Lin Shixu left, there were only two people left in the room. The blue and white striped curtains fluttered gently with the wind rushing in through the window, and looked a little dazzling under the afternoon sun.
Nan Yan looked at Ji Yanshen in front of her. He looked much better now, so she asked, "What did you say to Lin Shixu?"
"I thought you knew."
Ji Yanshen raised his face slightly. His lips were still a little pale, but his mood was still very stable. He looked at Nan Yan standing in front of him quietly, and said in a low voice, "Yan Yan, if no one else interrupted us, we might have been engaged by now. Besides, you don't like him that much, right?"
Ji Shen tightened his fingers slightly. He really didn't want to give up this relationship, especially after hearing what Zhou Youyou said. Not everyone can be together happily.
Whenever he thought about how he and Yanyan could have had the chance to get engaged and married, and how they could have had a better ending, he felt a vague sense of unwillingness and powerlessness in his heart. So he wanted to see Yanyan's attitude. If she knew about these things, would she be reluctant to leave him?
Ji Shenshen's eyes were always on Nan Yan.
Nan Yan also turned her head to look at him. This man looked a lot thinner than before, with slightly longer hair resting on his eyebrows and a melancholy look in his eyes, especially when the light from the window fell on his face. At such a close distance, Nan Yan could even see the small scar on his forehead that had not yet healed completely. That was also left by the car accident.
She shook her head and said, "What happened in the past is no longer important to me. I came here this time to make it clear to you that I will not get back together with you just because of what Zhou Youyou said. After all, those things are too unbelievable. Whether they are true or not, they have nothing to do with me now."
Ji Shenshen's fingers turned slightly white from being pinched, his eyebrows drooped, and he was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed softly, laughing at his own powerlessness, but he was unwilling to give up so easily.
"What about Lin Shixu? Do you think you two can still be together without any grudges? Yanyan, I can see that you two also had a fight over this matter, right?"
The pair of black eyes quietly glanced in the direction of the door, and then stated a fact, "He actually doesn't really trust you, and doesn't believe in the feelings between the two of you, and you are not completely unaffected. If time goes on, you will still quarrel because of this matter. Yanyan, do you believe it?"
Nan Yan's eyes paused in the direction he was looking, and she naturally realized something, but she didn't react much, just asked, "So?"
so--
Ji Yan took a deep breath and said, "I'm not trying to embarrass you. I just want to give you the right to choose. Yanyan, I am the same as him now. Even if you want to reconsider, please give me a chance, okay?"
This was the last thing he could do.
After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for the answer.
He didn't ask her to agree to him immediately, he just hoped that there would be a chance. As long as she was willing to give him this chance, he had the confidence that he could impress her. After all, they had been together for such a long time. He was not a blindly confident person, but many things needed to be tried.
There was also someone standing against the wall outside the door, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Lin Shixu was also waiting, waiting for Yanyan's answer. Since the last time, his relationship with Yanyan has never recovered, and their interactions have become unnatural, so he was also uneasy.
He even thought about rushing in and dragging her away before Yanyan could give her the answer. As long as she didn't tell him the answer, he could pretend that he didn't know.
Until he heard the next sentence Yanyan said.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to."
Nan Yan shook her head, and the sound continued.
"The person I like is my current boyfriend. No matter what Zhou Youyou said to you, or what kind of quarrels I had with my boyfriend, these are things between the two of us and have nothing to do with outsiders."
She spoke in a calm and serious tone, "I came to you just to make it clear to you that I will not break up with him because of this."
Nan Yan lowered her head and met Ji Yan's deep gaze.
Ji Lingshen's lips moved, he looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing more to say.
Nan Yan glanced at the door, thought for a moment, and continued, "In the beginning, I was with him because I was angry, but after being together for a long time, I realized that I was at a disadvantage, because this person is full of shortcomings."
She counted carefully on her fingers, her voice becoming softer and softer. "He has a bad temper. When he's angry, he doesn't like to talk about it. He always ignores people and requires people to work hard to coax him. He also has a lot of strange problems."
"She doesn't let me have a pet, and doesn't allow me to go home late. She also says it's not good for girls to drink, and that's not allowed. She's even more nagging than my mom, and most importantly, she has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder..."
She listed the man's shortcomings with disdain, but in the end she couldn't help laughing and said softly, "But who told me to like him now? I know he's been in a bad mood recently, and I also know that he has suffered a great shock, so I want to let both of us calm down for a while."
"But I never thought about breaking up with him. Now do you know my choice?"
The people outside also heard these words clearly.
Lin Shixu's lips moved, and he felt a little sour in his chest. He didn't know if what she said was serious. She could have explained it clearly to him, but she just had to step on his heart and tease him like this.
Lin Shixu could no longer hear what the person inside said next. He stood there for a long time before finally coming to his senses. He thought he should be happy, but for some reason he felt a sour feeling in his chest.
Until the end, Lin Shixu didn't know how he left here.
On the other side, Nan Yan, after explaining everything to Ji Lingshen, prepared to go find her boyfriend.
But when I found the office, I didn't see anyone there.
No one answered the phone.
Nan Yan had no choice but to go look for him by herself. On the way, she met a few nurses and after asking around, she found out that Doctor Lin had just gone out.
Nan Yan chased in the direction the nurse pointed, and finally found her boyfriend sitting in a daze beside a flower bed in a secluded shaded path downstairs. Fragmented rays of light shone on him through the mottled shadows of the trees, and Dr. Lin did not look in a good mood.
Nan Yan walked over and sat down next to him. Doctor Lin didn't react much. She thought that maybe what she said just now irritated him, why did he look so unhappy again.
She decided to strike first and was unhappy first. "Why did you hide here alone? Didn't you say you would wait for me in the office? You didn't even answer my call."
Lin Shixu didn't turn around to look at her. His eyelashes moved slightly. The light falling on his eyelashes revealed a melancholy aura. His tone was a little cold, "I don't need your pity."
Nan Yan was not convinced and simply stretched out her hands to pry open his face, turning his head to face her, and then asked him, "When have I ever been kind to you?"
Lin Shixu met her gaze. He knew he shouldn't be angry and should stop while he could. Maybe people in love are a little hypocritical. He couldn't control his emotions at all. On the one hand, he suspected that she was lying, but on the other hand, he was moved by what she said. Because he cared about her, he asked for more. "Do you think I can't see it? You knew I was at the door, so you said those words to me on purpose, right?"
It's not like he didn't understand such obvious words, but he just couldn't help but take them seriously.
Lin Shixu held his girlfriend's hand tightly.
Nan Yan was stunned for a few seconds and looked at him strangely.
She felt that this person was somewhat contradictory. If he really didn't care, why did he hold her so tightly? She felt that this person's current state was probably that I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I won't listen to anything you say, and in the final analysis, he still wants someone to coax him.
Nan Yan suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
She felt that Dr. Lin was a bit hypocritical and unreasonable.
Nan Yan thought about it for a moment, then her gaze towards him became somewhat indifferent, "Then do you want to break up with me?"
When he said the word break up, the strength in his hands became much stronger. Dr. Lin clenched his palms, and his chest felt blocked with anger. "You said so much, is this all you want to say to me in the end?"
She clearly knew what he wanted to hear, but she just liked to say such hurtful words. To outsiders, it seemed that he was the cold and dominant one in their relationship, but wasn't she actually the one in the dominant position?
Nan Yan pursed her lips and couldn't help looking at him. "What else? When I didn't say anything, you urged me to make a decision. When I said something, you didn't believe me. Don't you know that you are being unreasonable? I didn't know you were such a person before."
"If you want to break up, just say so. I'll go find Ji Lingshen and repeat the words now."
"When he gets better, I'll get engaged to him."
Nan Yan started to say something shocking again. She ignored her boyfriend's angry look and continued:
"After we got engaged, we went on a trip together, then left the city and never came back."
"Just like Zhou Youyou said, we will live happily without being disturbed by anyone, and we will have a beautiful child in the future, who may look like his father..."
“Hmm—”
Before she could finish the rest of her words, they were all blocked in her throat. Nan Yan was bitten and it hurt quite a bit. It was a hard bite at first, but as time went on it turned into a kiss.
Lin Shixu finally couldn't help it, and grabbed her waist fiercely, pressing her into his arms, almost strangling her waist. "Is it just me that you can get angry? You know what I care about, and you can say those words to Ji Lingshen in front of him, why can't you say something nicer to me?"
"Please don't lie to me, okay? Do you think it's fun to lie to me?" He actually knew that Yanyan had told him a lot of lies, from the beginning to now, so many that he couldn't tell them apart, but he had never said it out loud.
What he cared about was her attitude. Lin Shixu felt helpless. "Why can't you be more careful? I don't ask for much. Even if you want to lie...can't you be more serious?"
Lin Shixu let go of the person a little.
Nan Yan didn't care about him attacking her and reached out to touch his cheek and hair. Her boyfriend relaxed a little and looked a little weak. Nan Yan looked at him calmly. Her eyes were gentle and without any hurtful emotion.
Nan Yan also kissed his eyelids and whispered to comfort him, "I really didn't lie to you this time. What I said to Ji Yanshen was not a lie. Although I said it to you, that was my attitude. I am not playing tricks on you out of pity. Are you really unwilling to believe me?"
Lin Shixu looked at her, trying to find any false expression on her face, but he couldn't see it, so the originally tense expression on his face became a little forced, but he still refused to relax completely.
So Nan Yan continued to coax him, "I didn't care about what Zhou Youyou said at all. It was obviously just your own imagination. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about it at all."
My boyfriend's expression softened again.
Nan Yan took a deep breath, touched her lips with his finger, and complained, "Besides, do you think you are the only one who has been wronged? You never say anything every time you are angry, and you only bully me. I can't even raise a puppy, don't you think you are being too much?"
"Besides, you bit me and it hurt just now."
Lin Shixu's fingers touched a soft place with a slightly moist touch. He looked at his girlfriend in front of him. Her eyes were particularly soft, so soft that it made people feel no resistance at all. Lin Shixu couldn't help but clench his hands.
"I'm sorry," he apologized.
"You really didn't lie to me?"
Nan Yan nodded, "No."
As soon as she finished saying these two words, Nan Yan felt her body being hugged tighter, so tight that it was hard to breathe. "I will try my best to change those bad habits. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is not impossible to change. I have consulted a doctor, and it may take a long time. Are you willing to help me change?"
Nan Yan said “hmm”.
The fingers hanging at his side slowly moved around his waist.
Lin Shixu continued, "It's okay if you want to have a pet. Can you have a smaller one? I don't like pets that shed hair... If you really like one, I'm willing to keep you company."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing as she heard him continue.
"I will work hard to earn money to support my family."
"This will never happen again."
"I am no worse than anyone else. I will tell you everything from now on. I will not keep it to myself even if I am angry. I will comfort you even if you are unhappy, so..."
Nan Yan nodded again, waiting for his next words, but after waiting for a long time without hearing a reply, she pushed him away a little and asked him what was going on, "So, what is it?"
Lin Shixu hugged his girlfriend again, and said tenderly with a hint of request in his tightened voice, "So, can you have the baby with me in the future?"
