Pull

Lin Yan felt the child's soft tongue nimbly licking her lips around, it felt like a puppy trying to curry favor with its master.

Lin Yan's cheeks flushed quickly, and he struggled to break away from the child's arm that was holding him. The movement was too fast and too big, and he almost fell backwards with the chair.

"The teacher said it is shameful to waste food." Qi Mu said solemnly.

"When did you become so obedient to the teacher?" Lin Yan was overly frightened, unable to calm down for a long time.

Qi Mu smacked his lips and said, "If what the teacher says is reasonable, I will naturally listen."

"But you can't do that..." Lin Yan seemed to be stimulated by the child's smacking, and immediately wiped his lips with the back of his hand reflexively. He couldn't think of what to say for a while, so he could only repeat: "That, that ..."

"What is that like?" Qi Mu moved the chair forward with a half-smile, leaned forward slightly, and touched Lin Yan intimately.

"Accept..." I didn't dare to say the word kiss, I just licked it like that, it was too far-fetched to say that it was a kiss.Lin Yan searched hard for words in his mind.

"Accept?" Qi Mu moved a little closer, with a faint smile overflowing from his usually fierce cat eyes, staring straight at the distressed face of the other party.

"Contact." Lin Yan thought hard, and finally thought of a more subtle and appropriate word.

Qi Mu nodded, suddenly realized: "You don't like to be in close contact with me." Then he stood up, kicked the chair away roughly, and turned around to walk into the room.

Lin Yan is used to being tolerant of children. Every time a child loses his temper, she will intelligently turn on the indulgent mode. Without even thinking about it, she hurriedly stood up and explained: "No, I don't like it..."

Qi Mu stopped, but didn't turn his head, just asked lightly: "If there is no dislike, then it's okay?"

Can?What can I do?

Lin Yan's thinking was confused by her words for a moment, and he was temporarily speechless.Lin Yan couldn't get her affirmative answer, so he continued to stride towards the room.

"Well, it's okay." Lin Yan didn't care about thinking about it, but simply thought that the child's behavior was just a naughty intimacy. His reaction just now was a bit too much, and he may have inadvertently hurt a young and fragile (? ) mind.

Qi Mu stood still, nodded and said: "You said that." In the future, I won't be able to blame me for being a brusque, abrupt beauty.

Inexplicably, Lin Yan felt a chill, and shivered. Is the air conditioner in the room turned on too much...?

Qi Mu turned his head, smiled at her and said, "Good night."

Lin Yan responded smoothly: "Good night."

Until the child walked into the bedroom and closed the door, Lin Yan was still stuck in place.She always felt that there were some things that she hadn't explained clearly to the child, but she couldn't remember what it was...

It was dawn within a few hours, and the alarm clock was pressed before reaching the preset time.Lin Yan got up from the bed and looked at the sky outside the window. The morning light slightly penetrated the clouds, gradually polishing the sky, and the breeze coming in through the window brushed his face, which was the unique coolness in midsummer.

Walking out of the living room, I was surprised to see the child sitting on the sofa. Because his back was facing Lin Yan's door, he didn't seem to notice anyone approaching, and continued to massage his temples with his hands.

Looks like a headache from a hangover.

"Why do you get up so early and want to go out later?" Lin Yan didn't show his worry, but just pretended to ask casually. Children are sometimes too sensitive, and they might think that they are too lenient.

When Qi Mu heard the voice, he immediately turned his head, and looked at the person standing behind him silently for a few seconds, his eyes were slightly deep, as if he was probing or evaluating, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"I have a headache and can't sleep." It took a long time for the child to say that.

Lin Yan sat beside her, and found that the child had pressed the temples on both sides with red marks. He couldn't help frowning and said, "You are using too much force, and the technique is not right. Let me do it."

Qi Mu didn't say a word, but it seemed that he acquiesced. Lin Yan sat closer again, found the acupuncture point, and rubbed it slowly with moderate force. The expression was swept away.

"How much did you drink last night?" Lin Yan asked.

Qi Mu's face changed slightly, and he thought for a while before answering: "Who will count until you are drunk?"

"It didn't rain last night, but why were your clothes wet when you came back?"

"Falled into the pond."

"What happened to the wound on the forearm?"

"Bite by a crocodile in the pond."

Lin Yan smiled silently. According to the past practice, Qi Mu would most likely dismiss her questions with a "what's none of your business" and a blank stare, but now he has to answer all questions, no matter what. Change.

Qi Mu raised his eyebrows: "Are you finished?"

"Well... that's all for now."

"Then it's my turn to ask you."

"Eh?"

While enjoying the comfort brought by the massage, Qi Mu wrapped his two fingers around the corner of the sofa pillow: "Are you going to work overtime tonight?"

"Maybe, if there are not many people seeing the doctor, you can leave work on time."

"Aren't you on shift? Even if a patient comes, the next shift should take over, right?" Qi Mu asked dissatisfied.

"That's the theory, but..."

"Then get off work on time." The child forcefully interrupted Lin Yan, "There are things waiting for you to do after get off work."

"Eh?" Lin Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and he thought hard for a moment, "No."

"Yes, you want to accompany me to eat ramen."

"... When was this decided?" Why didn't I know at all?

"Just now, I made the decision for you." The child has a bully attitude, which is full of threats of "try to say no".

Lin Yan stopped massaging and couldn't help rubbing the child's hairy head.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Since you are looking for someone to accompany you, then you should treat the guests." The child's hair is very soft, not dark in color, with a little light yellow, and it feels like malnutrition.

Are you really malnourished?Lin Yan began to seriously consider how to increase nutrition for the child.

"Of course it's my treat. For a doctor in a small hospital like you, even a small amount of money is not enough for a tip." Qi Mu belittled the other party mercilessly.

"Thank you for inviting me to such a luxurious dinner." Lin Yan said with a smile.

A certain person seems to be still using the pocket money given by his father. People with zero income are really qualified to speak.

Qi Mu heard the ridicule in Lin Yan's words, but he wasn't angry, instead he felt a little bit of joy.In the past, their conversations were always full of gunpowder (well, one-sided gunpowder), and it was almost impossible to chat freely like this.

It turns out that this way of getting along will be more pleasant.

Qi Mu secretly curled the corners of his mouth behind Lin Yan's back, and smiled unknowingly.

"I'll wait for you at the gate of the hospital."

"Which ramen restaurant are you going to, why don't you make an appointment to wait there." I remember the child once said with a disgusted face that he hated the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. Yan knew in his heart that what children hated and resisted was not only the bad smell, but also the sad smell of life and death.

The mother died in the hospital, and the father experienced life and death in the hospital. The child looked strong and resolute on the surface, but was actually very fragile and soft inside.

"That ramen restaurant just opened the day before yesterday, you don't know the way. I'll pick you up when I get off work, so it's settled, don't talk anymore."

Lin Yan looked at the wall clock and said, "I really can't talk anymore, I'm going to be late for work."

I don't know if he was looking forward to the "date" at night, Qi Mu felt that the day passed very long.Of course, getting up early in the morning is not for exercising, but to determine whether Lin Yan will deliberately avoid or alienate her after the incident of "don't waste food" last night.

Experiments have proved that Lin Yan not only did not feel disgusted or wary, but became a little closer to her.

When Qi Mu thought of the result of this experiment, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, which was completely different from the message "another Qi Mu" left her on the phone.What is said is that Lin Yan worked overtime probably because he wanted to reduce the time spent with each other, which made her depressed for several days.

Old cranky guy.

Qi Mu wrote on the phone: I asked her to eat ramen after get off work, and she didn't refuse.

After typing this line, Qi Mu couldn't think of anything else to write, and stared at the phone screen in a daze.

She happened to pass by that ramen restaurant when it opened that day, and was startled by the sound of firecrackers. The owner of the noodle restaurant held up a loudspeaker to advertise with great fanfare: Our shop is holding a Hell Ramen Challenge, and there are great prizes. Don't miss this opportunity.

Qi Mu saw the POP poster pasted on the glass wall, which clearly listed several prizes, and she only focused on the "Couple Watch".

It seems that Lin Yan's job is to check the time frequently. The watch she is wearing is obviously outdated, and the belt has begun to fade and cracks. It seems that it is time to get a new one.

Qi Mu typed slowly on the phone: I don't know if she will wear that new watch.

Thinking that if she wears it, she can see it the next day, this sentence is pure nonsense.delete.

After finally surviving until five o'clock in the afternoon, the child went out happily and took the bus directly to the hospital where Lin Yan worked. When he got off the bus, he saw the familiar figure standing upright beside the stop sign.

"Why did you arrive earlier than me?"

"There are no patients today, and I always worked overtime in the past, so the director approved me to leave work early." Lin Yan always narrowed his eyes slightly when he smiled, and the smile permeated from the night-like pupils little by little.

There were a lot of people waiting for the bus, and one of the middle-aged uncles was carrying a travel bag in both hands, and accidentally bumped into Lin Yan, Qi Mu quickly reached out to help him, and glared viciously at the hitting uncle.

"Ah, bumped into you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Lin Yan smiled kindly, worried that Qi Mu would cause trouble, so he quickly took her hand and walked away quickly.

Qi Mu was really angry, but at the moment when Lin Yan's hand grabbed hers, all the anger dissipated, replaced by strong surprise and a touch of sweetness.

So they walked hand in hand side by side, stepping on the mottled shadows and sunlight that fell from the branches and leaves of the street trees to the ground, as if walking on the clouds, the whole person was light and joyful, and they didn't let go until they reached the ramen restaurant.

"You two, what would you like to eat?"

"Aren't you holding the Hell Ramen Challenge here?"

"Yes, if you finish eating within 15 minutes, you can get a free order and get a 30 yuan voucher from our store. If you finish eating within 10 minutes, you can get a pair of couple watches. If you finish eating within 5 minutes, you can..."

"There's so much nonsense, let's start quickly." Qi Mu interrupted the waiter impatiently.

Lin Yan said: "Let's order a normal meal, your wound is not healed yet, don't eat spicy things."

"It's okay, I have my own measure." Qi Mu said, "If you can't eat spicy food, you can order something else."

The waiter didn't wait too long to bring the Hell Ramen. It was steaming hot in an extra-large bowl. At first glance, the soup and noodles were both red.

The waiter took out his watch to check the time: "Get ready—start!"

The customers in the store noticed that the challenger came again, and they all looked over curiously. Some of them saw that the challenger was a heroic little girl, and couldn't help shouting for her.

Qi Mu buried his head and gulped down the noodles, raising his head from time to time to pay attention to the time. The hot and spicy noodles were like red-hot coals, they were put into his mouth and swallowed whole, as if they were burning from the esophagus to the stomach.

Lin Yan regretted not being able to prevent Qi Mu from participating in the challenge, and kept wiping the sweat off her forehead, worrying so much that her intestines were knotted.

At the last moment of the allotted time, Qi Mu finally ate the last noodle, put down his chopsticks, and poured ice water.

"Congratulations, the challenge is successful! This is a prize from our shop, you are really amazing, little girl." The waiter praised sincerely.

Qi Mu took the beautifully packaged watch, put it on the table, and smiled proudly at Lin Yan and asked, "Ha, how is it?"

"The mouth has become a sausage." Lin Yan replied.

"Tch, what's the matter, anyway, I got the prize in the end." While speaking, he tore off the wrapping paper, opened the box, and shouted in feigned surprise, "Why is there one more?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan probed over: "Eh? It's a couple watch."

"The extra one is for you."

"give me?"

"Otherwise, just throw it away, it doesn't cost money anyway."

"The ones won from the challenge are very commemorative, and they are still new. It would be a waste to throw them away."

"Then I'll put it on for you." Without any explanation, Qi Mu grabbed Lin Yan's hand, took off the old watch on her wrist, and put on a new one.

"Wear it all the time and don't take it off." The child warned sternly.

"Will it be soaked in the shower?" Lin Yan looked down at the watch, and finally showed a bright smile.
