Chapter 112: Chapter 106: What Went Wrong?
"I’m not opening it, I don’t know you, you heartless person!" Xia Xue turned around, seeing Xiao Lin looking so pitiful and humble, her anger slightly subsided. However, to make Xiao Lin realize his mistakes so he wouldn’t repeat them in the future, Xia Xue decided to leave him hanging for a bit, lest he forget after some time.
"Xue Er, since you won’t forgive me, then I have no face to live in this world. I know I was wrong, terribly wrong. I don’t hope for your forgiveness. If you really don’t want to see me, then so be it, I’ll go, don’t worry about me!" As Xiao Lin said this, even he got goosebumps all over. But there was no other way, it seemed if he didn’t use drastic measures, Xia Xue wouldn’t open the door for him.
With these words, Xiao Lin made up his mind, turned around, and dashed towards the nearby window, shouting out loud to create the illusion of jumping off the building.
Xiao Lin’s sweet words really hit Xia Xue’s soft spot. No matter how cheesy, romantic words are music to women’s ears, especially when said by the man they love, she could listen to them endlessly and wish to hear them all the time.
But hearing Xiao Lin’s words becoming more and more wrong, especially when he let out a shout, Xia Xue’s heart skipped a beat as if struck by something. She quickly turned around, looking towards the balcony, but there was no shadow of Xiao Lin. Xia Xue became anxious, regardless of whether Xiao Lin was tricking her or if it was real, and hurriedly shouted, "You heartless fool, what are you doing!" As she said this, tears streamed down her face, she looked pitiful and touching, not bearing to be hurt, completely different from her usual heavily made-up self at work.
In panic, Xia Xue ignored the mild pain still coming from below. Actually, after such a long period of rest, the pain of broken melon was almost negligible. Xia Xue got up while crying, "You heartless fool, you idiot, don’t you know the balcony isn’t pushed but pulled to the sides?"
Hearing Xia Xue’s cries inside, Xiao Lin was stunned, followed by a face full of black lines, his face flushed red, not imagining he was so stupid not to realize that the balcony door opened by pulling. Just now, he pushed it and thought Xia Xue was unwilling to open the door for him. This... this is quite awkward, losing even more face in front of Xia Xue.
Xia Xue wasn’t fool enough to think Xiao Lin really jumped off. She opened the door, walked onto the balcony, seeing Xiao Lin looking awkwardly at her, Xia Xue’s tear-streaked face couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter, then realized she laughed too quickly, putting on a stern face, she said, "Didn’t you say you were going to leave me? Jump, go on, jump down!" Seeing Xiao Lin was alright, Xia Xue finished speaking and turned away, definitely not letting Xiao Lin off so easily.
Seeing Xia Xue’s appearance and tone, even someone inexperienced like Xiao Lin knew Xia Xue’s anger had subsided a lot. The toughest hurdle was over, how could he give up the opportunity? He quickly made a leap, right when Xia Xue had turned away, she didn’t see Xiao Lin jumping the three to four meters distance towards her.
Xiao Lin moved lightly, so lightly that even when he reached the balcony, Xia Xue hadn’t reacted, as she was preparing to turn and close the door, she was suddenly held by someone, giving her a fright. Turning back, Xiao Lin’s mouth was already reaching over, invading her sweet little tongue.
"Let me go, you heartless fool!" Xia Xue’s anger was almost gone by this point, just still angry at why Xiao Lin didn’t call her immediately. Wanting to escape from Xiao Lin’s embrace, she ran back to the bed, cheeks puffed with anger, needing to put on some act for Xiao Lin. Otherwise, if she let him off so easily, she’d be in for it in the future.
How could Xiao Lin let go of this opportunity, feeling Xia Xue’s anger had subsided a lot, it was time to strike while the iron was hot and seize the city, otherwise, he’d be a real pig. He hurriedly said, "Xue Er, listen to me. I know I was wrong, seeing my sincere attitude, won’t you forgive me this once? I promise it won’t happen again!" Finishing, he hugged Xia Xue tightly, that thing below slowly rising.
When had Xia Xue ever been teased like this? If Xiao Lin kept holding her like this, it wouldn’t take long for her entire heart to soften, maybe even... Xia Xue didn’t think further, gently grabbed Xiao Lin’s thing with her right hand, wanted to pinch hard but dared not exert too much force, then put on a stern face, "Let go of me first, you rogue!"
Xiao Lin hadn’t thought of this, hearing Xia Xue’s voice slightly cold, also feeling a slight pain from below, it quickly cooled his heated body, smiling awkwardly, then releasing Xia Xue.
Once freed, Xia Xue immediately ran to the bed, completely covering herself with the quilt, utterly embarrassed.
"Hey, hey, Xue Er, we can’t play like this!" Xiao Lin became anxious, having turned things around a bit, he couldn’t let all his efforts go to waste.
Xia Xue tightly gripped the quilt, refusing to let Xiao Lin uncover it. Xiao Lin couldn’t use force to pull the quilt away, could he? Besides, Xiao Lin knew he was strong; he was afraid of hurting Xia Xue. But seeing Xia Xue holding the quilt, Xiao Lin thought for a moment, walked to the door, opened it, brought in the large bouquet of roses placed outside, then squatted by the bed and said, "Xue Er, I know I was wrong. I’m here to apologize! Just now, my phone was off because I encountered robbers at the bank, and was only rescued by Yanjing police and Yanjing Military Region’s special forces. If you don’t believe me, you can watch the news now, it must be on midday news!"
Xiao Lin had no other choice but to start lying. But while lying, Xiao Lin felt a bit unnatural, it seemed his experience needed improvement here.
Actually, Xia Xue was not really angry at Xiao Lin anymore, doing this was just to make Xiao Lin remember deeply, to remember there’s a woman waiting for him at home. But hearing Xiao Lin encountered robbers at the bank, Xia Xue’s heart skipped a beat, she unconsciously pulled the quilt open, face full of tears yet with concern asked, "Then... then, are you alright? Hurt anywhere? Let me see!"
"Nothing happened, nothing happened, how could anything happen to me?" Xiao Lin hurriedly said, "If something happened to me, how could I have crawled in from the outside window!"
As soon as this was mentioned, Xia Xue glared at Xiao Lin and said, "You are not allowed to do such things in the future, it’s too dangerous. By the way, how did you climb in? Here, the window distance is three or four meters, even five or six meters!"
"Climbed in, of course!" Xiao Lin was most afraid of Xia Xue questioning this. A distance of five or six meters with a small foothold is something ordinary people couldn’t achieve, so he said, "I spent a few years in the military, handling a small window like this is a piece of cake!" Xiao Lin thought carefully and felt that gradually revealing things was better, giving Xia Xue some time to prepare mentally.
"Ah, you spent years in the military? Aren’t you a doctor?" Xia Xue was even more surprised.
Xiao Lin looked seriously at Xia Xue and said, "There are some unsung doctors, called Military Doctors, who serve with the army. They not only need superb medical skills but extraordinary physique. Besides their own profession, military training cannot be neglected, especially for the accompanying doctors of special forces. I, your husband, used to serve in the special forces, so this small window is really nothing!" At the end, Xiao Lin’s voice was not as serious as before, with a hint of joking, looking at Xia Xue with deep and profound eyes that made her both angry and amused. Are you making a movie here; why so emotional?
When Xia Xue heard Xiao Lin say "husband," she immediately shot back, "When did I say I’d marry you, hum!"
"Hehe, not angry anymore, right? Here, this is for you, ninety-nine roses!" Xiao Lin cheerfully took the roses from the bedside and placed them in front of Xia Xue.
Xia Xue wasn’t so easily fooled, especially remembering her point of anger wasn’t merely a sudden incident of Xiao Lin not calling her. With Xiao Lin’s reminder, Xia Xue’s face changed immediately, giving a cold smile, "If you hadn’t mentioned, I’d have forgotten, huh? A bouquet of roses to make it up to me? Think carefully, what exactly did you do wrong!"
Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. As they say, a child’s face is like June’s sky, subject to change; a woman’s face is even more powerful than June’s sky. One second it was all lovey-dovey, worried stiff, and in a blink, there was cold confrontation.
"This... Xue Er, didn’t I just deeply realize my mistakes? What now?" Xiao Lin couldn’t fathom what else he might have done wrong? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to cast recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
