Chapter 528: 528: You kiss four tis, you owe (one more
Fifth Hospital.
It was almost ti for the shift change, and the day and night nurses were handing over their duties.
“The temperature’s already been taken.”
The speaker was Nurse Jing from the operating room.
Lin Dongshan asked, “What about the blood pressure?”
“It’s a bit high.”
“Is it above the critical value?”
Nurse Jing replied, “No, not that. It’s just that the blood pressure surged all of a sudden, which is kind of odd.”
“Have the attending doctor take a look.”
“Alright.”
The two of them headed toward the ward.
Soone called from behind: “Lin Dongshan.”
Su Lihua always called her by her full na.
Lin Dongshan stopped in her tracks.
Nurse Jing glanced back, and, reading the situation, said, “I’ll head to the ward first.”
He ca up, and it was unclear whether he had just co from outside since he wasn’t in patient attire, “Why are you avoiding ?”
Lin Dongshan adjusted her emotions and turned to look at him, “I’m not avoiding you.”
“You are.”
Yes.
She was. She dared not see him. Each ti she did, she lost a layer of her guard.
“Mr. Su,” she appeared calm, void of emotion, “do we really need to et in private anymore?”
Su Lihua’s brows furrowed slightly.
“I’m doing very well now and don’t want to be disturbed.” She lowered her head, remained silent for a while, then continued, “Guyu already knows you’re his father, and he doesn’t reject you. If you want to see him in the future, I won’t object.”
After speaking, she walked away.
Su Lihua stood still for a while, then went out, lit a cigarette, smoking one after another.
He stood next to the trash can, puffing smoke, and made a call: “If I want to do sothing and the other person is unwilling, what should I do?”
The person on the other end of the phone laughed, reveling in his misfortune, “Haven’t sorted it out yet, huh?”
Su Lihua didn’t want to banter with him, “Answer my question.”
“Keep at it until she’s willing.”
“How?”
“Do you want so more of the dicine I gave you back then?”
Su Lihua crushed the cigarette butt, lit another one, “Su Qinghou, act like a human being.”
He laughed, “When you had Lin Dongshan unable to get out of bed, why didn’t you act like a human being?”
Su Lihua hung up directly.
Locker room.
“Dongshan.”
“Dongshan.”
The matron called twice before Lin Dongshan reacted, “Hmm?”
“What’s wrong? You seem distracted.”
She took off her nurse uniform, “It’s nothing.”
“Are you free tonight?”
Lin Dongshan nodded, asked, “Is there sothing?”
“Doctor Xia wants to invite you for dinner.”
Doctor Xia was from the neurodical departnt, divorced, childless, and in most respects, quite a catch. He had been pursuing Lin Dongshan for so ti, but she was as unresponsive as a log. Doctor Xia, too, kept his feelings to himself, and only a few in the hospital were aware of this.
Lin Dongshan didn’t answer, and the matron understood her aning, “If you’re not interested, it’d be good to make it clear to him.”
“Mhm.”
Landlady Ms. Xiao had returned from a business trip and had picked up Guyu. After finishing her shift, Lin Dongshan went straight to the dinner appointnt with Doctor Xia.
They t at a high-end western restaurant.
“You’re here.”
Doctor Xia was very gentlemanly; as soon as he saw her approaching, he imdiately got up to help pull out a chair.
Lin Dongshan sat down, “Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Doctor Xia, in his early thirties, wore glasses. Though his looks were not striking, he had a refined air about him: “No, I got here early.”
He called the waiter over and let the lady order.
Not far from the entrance of the restaurant, a car was parked at the roadside. The person inside pursed his lips, silently staring at the entrance, his gaze sowhat distant and laced with a hint of coldness.
He made a call.
“Mr. Su.”
Su Lihua instructed, “Help check on soone.”
“Go ahead.”
Streetlights along the road were coming on one after another, and the long-anticipated snow began to drift down.
Chen Xiangtai had slept through the afternoon, and when she woke up, it was already dark. She opened her eyes, vaguely gazed at the ceiling for a while, then got up, only to find soone else still propped by the bed.
“Mr. Lu Xinglan.”
“Mr. Lu Xinglan.”
She called twice, and Lu Xinglan woke up. He had slept face down, resulting in a crease on his face. The room was heated, and he’d taken off his jacket, wearing a seemingly soft white sweater. His voice was groggy and slightly childish as he had just woken up, “Awake?” He yawned.
Chen Xiangtai was still sowhat groggy, “Where is this?”
“My place.”
Not the Lu Family’s house, but his own residence.
Chen Xiangtai couldn’t help but survey the room. There wasn’t much inside, except for a painting on the wall she didn’t understand, and the bed was notably large and firm, yet the blanket was particularly warm and soft.
Lu Xinglan went and poured her a glass of warm water.
“Thank you.”
She was indeed thirsty, drinking it all.
“Want more?”
“Yes.”
Lu Xinglan poured another glass, but Chen Xiangtai didn’t finish it. He naturally took the glass from her, drinking the remainder.
Chen Xiangtai looked at the glass, then at his lips, her face growing redder by the mont.
Lu Xinglan put the glass down, stood beside the bed, bent down to look at her, “Rember now?”
She lowered her head further, “… Yes.”
Her alcohol tolerance was poor, but she didn’t lose mory when drunk. She rembered biting Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu had bitten her too…
Lu Xinglan lifted her face by the chin, “You kissed first.”
Her eyes drifted away, too shy to et his gaze, “… Yes.”
“Four tis.”
“… Yes.”
Actually, it was five tis, but she fell asleep during the last one.
Lu Xinglan wanted to kiss her again, “Chen Xiangtai, we—”
He was asking for her consent.
And then waiting for her nod.
And then planning to push her down on the bed and kiss her.
But before he could finish, the young girl preempted, wearing an expression fraught with unwarranted guilt, “I’m sorry, I didn’t an to take advantage of you.” Her voice grew quieter and weaker, “I just wanted you to taste my saliva.”
