Chapter 13 Consequences of Visitation
Standing outside the door, I was a little apprehensive. Looking at the things in her hand, Lin Muxue felt a sense of embarrassment for her new daughter-in-law to meet her parents. Why it feels this way, she herself is a little unclear. She only knew that when the door opened and Qin Lie, who was wearing home clothes, appeared at the door, she subconsciously took a step back, and then quickly handed the thing to him.
"I heard that Dr. Li said that you are sick, so I came to see you."
"Come in!"
Qin Lie also took a step back, turned around, and returned to the living room.
Lin Muxue breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the sick man will be more or less angry. Originally, she was still afraid, afraid that Qin Lie would say something indifferent to her like when she was in the garage...... He didn't say anything, just three simple words from beginning to end, "Come in." Very polite, politely made her a little disappointed.
"Why are you still standing in the doorway?"
After waiting for a long time, no one came in, Qin Lie looked up at Lin Muxue, and frowned slightly.
"The upstairs and downstairs, including the neighbors across the door, know that I'm a doctor. You are carrying a large bag of things, standing at the door, knowing that you are here to visit the patient, and those who don't know think that you are a family member of a patient who is coming to the back door to give red envelopes. ”
"I'm a family member of a patient!" Lin Muxue said and stepped into the door: "You are my mother's attending physician, this is always right." ”
"It used to be, but not anymore." Qin Lie rubbed the corners of his forehead lightly: "I have asked for leave, my work has been handed over to Doctor Li, and now your mother's attending doctor is him." ”
"Isn't it a bit irresponsible for you to say that?"
Lin Muxue looked for a corner and put everything down.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm a doctor with a scalpel, and it's really irresponsible to insist on working sick. Of course, this is provided that my illness has affected my daily work as a doctor. Qin Lie said, and glanced at Lin Muxue again: "Lin Muxue, are you here to visit me, a patient, or did you deliberately come to raise the bar with me?" ”
"Of course, it's a sick visit, and it cost me almost a month's salary to buy these things."
"Oh, you're so low-paying!"
"Is it that these health supplements are very expensive?" Lin Muxue bit her lower lip: "However, what you said is right, my salary is not high, anyway, it is not as high as a big doctor like you." ”
"Doctors' salaries are not high!" Qin Lie pointed to those health products: "Take these things back to your mother." I can't eat, and I'm not used to it. ”
Lin Muxue's face turned red all of a sudden: "Do you think the things I buy are cheap, or do you think the things I buy are not good?" ”
As he spoke, he kicked on the box of health supplements closest to him.
"Love or not, don't pull it, I won't take it back anyway. If you don't eat it, throw it downstairs to feed the dogs, or simply throw it in the trash. ”
After saying that, he turned around and opened the door to go out.
"Lin Muxue!"
Qin Lie called out her name and pulled her back before she stepped out in a huff. Impartially, just pulled into his arms that were still radiating heat.
The voice, which seemed rough because of the severe cold, sounded above her head.
"Is it so strange for you women to think about questions? I'm just saying I don't need it, and it's a waste to leave these things behind. It's your heart, and it cost you so much of your salary, so it's good to take it back and honor your mother. Lin Muxue, do you have to think very badly for you to be happy. ”
"Nope!"
"Still hard-mouthed, believe it or not, I infected you with a cold!"
"You think you're an epidemic virus, and you're infecting me." Lin Muxue looked up and found that Qin Lie's face was close at hand. "You, can you, let me go?"
"Can't!"
"Qin Lie, don't go too far! Believe it or not, I'm going to shout indecent now! ”
"You're in my house, and you're still in this position, do you think others will believe that I'm insulting you?"
"I can't tell you!"
"It's not that I can't say it, but I'm right." Qin Lie collapsed downward, almost pressing the weight of the whole person on Lin Muxue's body: "Knowing that I am sick, I am still angry with me." Lin Muxue, you really hate me. ”
Lin Muxue gritted her teeth: "Yes, I hate you very much, so much so that I don't even know why I came to see you." ”
As he spoke, he used all his strength to carry Qin Lie back to the sofa.
"Poof!"
Qin Lie lay down on the sofa, Lin Muxue was taken down fiercely, and fell into Qin Lie's arms. Her head was right against Qin Lie's chin.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. You're a bit heavy! ”
Qin Lie looked at her motionlessly, his eyes deepening, "Lin Muxue, do you want my illness to get better soon?" ”
"Nonsense! I always felt as if I owed you. If I hadn't asked you to help me save Ye Hao that night, I guess you wouldn't have been so sick. ”
"Well said, you owe me, so now, you should pay me back."
Qin Lie said, pressed Lin Muxue's head, and grabbed her lip before she could react.
Lin Muxue was stunned! This is the third kiss between her and Qin Lie, no, strictly speaking, it should be the second time!
No! Wrong! This bastard is taking advantage of her again.
A hand against his shoulder pushed hard, separating the two lip flaps that were close together. It was followed by a pink fist that landed on the opponent's chest.
"Bastard, bastard, you're taking advantage of me again."
"According to the Internet, the way to recover quickly from a cold is to infect it on another person. Lin Muxue, you just said it yourself, you hope that my cold can get better sooner. So, I consciously think that you can accept this method of making me recover from my cold quickly. ”
Lin Muxue wiped her lips and was stunned. She seems to have heard of this method that Qin Lie said, but isn't this method more suitable for couples? She and him are not a couple.
"You're taking advantage of me!"
"Yes, I admit it, and I'm willing to be responsible!" Qin Lie looked at Lin Muxue's eyes: "If you are also willing." ”
"Would you like what?"
"Willing to hold me accountable!"
Lin Muxue's head became dizzy again, she always felt that it was very difficult to talk to Qin Lie, especially her brain, because she couldn't keep up with the frequency of his words, and she couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind his words.
"Wait a minute, let me sort it out, what responsibility are you talking about? Also, in what ways are you going to be responsible? ”
"Get smarter!"
Qin Lie rubbed Lin Muxue's head, and his eyes seemed to be looking at an obedient puppy.
"Last time, it was your first kiss, right?"
Lin Muxue's face flushed.
"It's not!"
"The technique is so raw and cooked, at first glance, it has not been practiced. It's okay, I'll be more accommodating. That one...... Lin Muxue, are you willing to be my girlfriend? ”
"Oh?" Lin Muxue stared at Qin Lie: "What did you say?" What did you just mean? ”
"I said I was willing to take responsibility for you. So, Lin Muxue, promise to be my girlfriend, okay? ”
"But ......"
"I heard more or less your conversation with your mother that day. I know that you have a good relationship with Ye Hao, and you grew up together. I can also see that Ye Hao likes you, and you like him, but your likes are not the kind of likes you imagined. Lin Muxue, like, is not the same as love. Remember what I told you? It's not that you and Ye Hao are inappropriate, but that you and I are more suitable. ”
"Like is not the same as love, then Qin Lie, do you like me? Is your liking for me the same as love? ”
Qin Lie's eyes darkened.
"I can't answer that question right now. All I know is that the first time I saw you, I had a strange emotion for you. Lin Muxue, I care about you, and I don't mix any emotions other than men and women. ”
"What you're saying is so strange, I don't really understand it."
"You'll understand later, I'll just ask you, do you like me? Or would you like to try to stay with me and see if you like me too? ”
"Is that a challenge?"
"It's a bet, I bet you're going to fall in love with me."
Qin Lie smiled, the kind with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Lin Muxue struggled to get up and said, "I don't believe it." ”
"If you don't believe me, try it!"
"Try it!"
Lin Muxue got up and went to Qin Lie's kitchen. As for why she ran into the kitchen, it was probably because the location of the kitchen and living room was too suitable, so she ran away in a panic.
Lin Muxue nested in the kitchen for more than an hour, and in the middle, Qin Lie got up and went to see her three times.
The first time, seeing her in a circle in the kitchen, he beckoned her to come out, but she refused.
The second time, when he saw her rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
The third time, he heard the sound of fire, followed by the sound of "poof, puff, puff". He stood at the door of the kitchen, watching her busy in the kitchen like a little family woman, and then carefully lifted the lid of the pot and put something I don't know what it was.
He thought of another woman who had appeared in this kitchen, the woman who had made him fall in love to the tip of his heart, to the point that his limbs would ache. She can give injections, take care of patients, do beautiful handicrafts to coax those little patients who refuse to take injections and medicines, and take care of the room to make it look like an ideal home. The only thing she doesn't know is cooking, she can't tell what the ingredients are for, and she jumps nervously when she sees the fire and hears the sound of hot oil.
The only thing he ever cooked was instant noodles with poached eggs in them, but the poached eggs were raw.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and his eyes fell on Lin Muxue's hand holding the soup spoon.
It seems that she can cook!
