After Marrying The Wrong Person, I Can’t Leave

Chapter 3

After adding Tan Yue’s WeChat account last night, Song Linchu didn’t receive any response. He didn’t know whether he was being too forward and scared the other person away or if Tan Yue simply didn’t add strangers. But it was also possible that he just hadn’t seen the request. After all, as a terminally ill patient, he couldn’t be on his phone all the time like a normal person.

So Song Linchu planned to be more reserved if there was no response from Tan Yue by the end of the day.

However, during his break, he checked his phone and found out that Tan Yue had accepted his friend request.

Song Linchu immediately sat up straight.

It seemed that Tan Mingqing didn’t lie to him. His little uncle was indeed a fan of good-looking people and was fond of enthusiastic people.

So what was he waiting for? Let’s get crazy!

Song Linchu felt a surge of energy like he had been injected with chicken blood.

Little Songlin: (Fox kiss.gif)

Little Songlin: [Finally, gege has added me~ I’ve admired gege for so long (*^▽^*)]

In no time, Tan Yue replied to his message.

Tan Yue: [Admired me?]

Little Songlin: [Yes! Gege’s handsome figure, extraordinary demeanor, and overflowing talent all make me admire him.]

Little Songlin: [Gege is my white moonlight.]

Little Songlin: [(Shy Fox.gif)]

Wow, Song Linchu gave himself full marks for this wave of rainbow farts!

The more Song Linchu looked at his messages, the more satisfied he became. He was enthusiastic, not lacking in shyness, and really had a good sense of measure. It seemed that he had a talent in this area.

Tan Yue: [……]

What do six dots mean? Oh, the old man must be shy!

Song Linchu seized the opportunity and quickly typed a reply.

Little Songlin: [It’s really satisfying I got to talk to gege. (Shy)]

Little Songlin: [Just thinking that I can see gege when I open WeChat in the future makes me so happy that I wish I could run ten laps!]

Ah, how could he be so good!

Let’s completely dance to Tan Yue’s aesthetic point, right!

The chat box above showed that the other person was typing, and Song Linchu rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Tan Yue must have been pleased with his flattery and developed a strong interest in him.

After a while, his phone buzzed.

Song Linchu quickly looked down.

Tan Yue: [Go for a run, don’t waste your youth on regrets.]

Song Linchu: ???

Song Linchu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was responding to his “wish.”

He just said that casually, why take it seriously?

It was freezing outside, and he was afraid that running outside would be a nightmare.

Song Linchu silently put his phone back in his bag.

As the weather was too cold, his former roommate He Wenyan insisted he go to his place for hotpot.

He Wenyan was from a wealthy family and could be considered a second-generation rich. He couldn’t adapt to the school dormitory and rented a house by himself since sophomore year.

The apartment he rented was over a hundred square meters, well-equipped, and Song Linchu and his friends often went there for hotpot.

Now that the weather was cold, it was the perfect season for hotpot. With He Wenyan’s invitation, even the other former roommate, Gao Yuan, who had severe OCD, came along.

Of course, He Wenyan only prepared one pot for himself, so they went to the supermarket to buy ingredients after class. Boys loved to eat meat, so the table was filled with meat and seafood.

“Hey, does that guy in your dorm still disgust you guys every day?” Gao Yuan asked as they ate hotpot.

Gao Yun and He Wenyan were not in the same major as them and only knew that a weird roommate had entered their dorm and stole Song Linchu’s boyfriend and bragged about it every day, but they didn’t really know the situation.

“Absolutely,” Li Chang said with anger when he mentioned him. “He’s so weird. He only needs to write ‘small-minded and petty’ on his face. He’s the first person I’ve seen who can be so self-righteous about being a third party.”

He Wenyan said, “He’s just bullying Linchu because he has a good temper. If I was in the dorm, he wouldn’t dare to show off. I’d send him on a one-month trip to the ICU.”

Gao Yuan looked at He Wenyan, “Speaking of which, didn’t he hit on you before?”

Li Chang was shocked, “Damn, he hit on you too?”

He Wenyan said, “Yeah, in our sophomore year. But I wasn’t interested in him, so I ignored him.”

“Damn it, he’s hit on all the rich kids in the school. Only Tan Qingming, that idiot is blind,” Li Chang said. He then realized something and quickly shut up, glancing at Song Linchu cautiously.

Song Linchu didn’t mind and agreed, “Not only blind but also mentally handicapped.”

“Yeah,” Gao Yuan put some meat into his small pot and said, “With how excellent you are, Song Linchu, you can have anyone you want. He’s not worthy.”

He Wenyan strongly agreed, ”As long as Song Linchu snaps his fingers, all the CEOs, rich women, young masters, and young ladies will kneel before your school uniform pants.”

Song Linchu: “…”

Song Linchu twitched the corner of his mouth. Normally, he wouldn’t take these compliments and words of consolation to heart.

But now, he couldn’t help asking, “Am I really that charming?”

“Of course you are! You’re the most goodlooking guy in the history of our school, you have excellent grades, and you’re nice. If I weren’t straight, I’d want to take you home directly,” He Wenyan patted his shoulder. “Be confident in yourself.”

Song Linchu pondered.

Although He Wenyan’s words were exaggerated, it seemed to be true.

Therefore, he couldn’t be discouraged. As long as he let Tan Yue know more about him, he would definitely like him!

He Wenyan would call a housekeeper to do the dishes and clean up, so they didn’t have to do it themselves.

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, they realized it was getting late and disbanded.

“Wow! It’s snowing!”

As they walked out of He Wenyan’s house, the three of them realized that it had already started snowing heavily, with big, fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky. Based on this trend, they estimated that there would be a thick layer of snow when they woke up tomorrow.

“It’s snowing so much!” Li Chang exclaimed in excitement. “I’ve never seen so much snow before.”

Although it snowed every year in the sea metropolis, it was usually just small, uninteresting snow or sleet. This kind of heavy snowfall was a first time, even though they were already in their third year of university.

Li Chang and Gao Yuan had never seen such heavy snow before and quickly took out their phones to take pictures.

Song Linchu’s hometown was further north, and it snowed every winter, so he was not as excited. However, he noticed that Li Chang was sharing the photos of the snow with his girlfriend and suddenly had an idea. He took out his phone from his pocket and took a picture of the snow scene, sending it to Tan Yue.

Little Songlin: [(picture)]

Little Songlin: [Ge, it’s snowing! (o??▽??)o]

——–

Aikang Hospital.

In a VIP ward with ample heating, Tan Yue sat on the bed flipping through a book.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the thin lenses reflected the cold white light from the ceiling, making his eyes look cold and his temperament even more icy than the winter night outside.

The caregiver responsible for taking care of him placed a cup of hot milk on the bedside cabinet and quietly left.

Tan Yue didn’t usually drink milk, but he had been having trouble sleeping at night since he was admitted to the hospital and the doctor recommended milk as a sleep aid. So the butler instructed the caregiver to give him a cup of milk every night.

The caregiver was afraid of this cold and noble gentleman and dared not interfere with his schedule, so she used the delivery of milk to remind Tan Yue to rest.

Tan Yue picked up the cup and was taking a sip when his phone vibrated twice. He glanced at it and saw a message from the young man his grandfather had introduced him to.

Grandpa Tan had no idea about his grandson’s “straight man” behavior. Once he saw Tan Yue chat with the other party when he added him as a friend and feeling that there was a connection, he left feeling content.

After all, with Tan Yue’s personality, if he really didn’t like someone, he wouldn’t even bother to send a punctuation to communicate with them.

However, Grandpa Tan’s understanding of his grandson was clearly not thorough enough. Tan Yue placed the cup on the table and continued reading, ignoring the message.

A few minutes later, his phone vibrated several times again, and it was the same young man.

Tan Yue picked up his phone and was about to turn it on silent when he remembered his grandfather’s reminder before he left.

He said that if he found out that he had ignored someone right after he left, he would cry at his parents’ grave. Although Tan Yue was a firm materialist and did not believe that his grandfather’s behavior could have any substantial effect, he still opened the chat window.

Even if he chatted, Tan Yue knew how to chat in a way that would make the other person lose interest and give up.

Little Songlin: [It’s so cold when it snows, my hands are freezing.]

Little Songlin: [The smelly couple in front of me are still holding hands to keep warm. Hmph, I don’t envy them at all!]

Little Songlin: [(Smiling Fox.gif)]

Tan Yue: [Envy won’t help.]

At this moment, Song Linchu bid farewell to Gao Yuan, who was leaving for his rental apartment, and Li Chang, who was going to deliver supper to his girlfriend. He slowly walked in the direction of the dormitory and saw Tan Yue’s message, causing him to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Is that the point?

Can’t you see the obvious signal of wanting to date and get out of singlehood?!!!

Stay calm, stay calm. Older men are slower to react.

Little Songlin: [QAQ, my heart hurts.]

Little Songlin: [Are you cold, ge? Single dogs can huddle together to keep warm, and I can help you warm your hands.]

Tan Yue: [Not cold.]

Song Linchu: “…”

This was an example on how to chat the heavens to death in one sentence.

Fortunately, Song Linchu’s brain turns quickly, and he continued to save the dying chat content.

Little Songlin: [I’m so cold.]

Little Songlin: [Look, my hands are frozen red.]

Little Songlin: [(picture)]

Song Linchu took a picture of his hand, deliberately finding a good angle and adding a filter.

His hand was already fair and slender, with distinct joints. It was as beautiful as a piano player’s hand, and were so perfect that he could be a hand model when causally groomed.

Tan Mingqing used to like his hands very much. He didn’t believe that Tan Yue, such a heavy face control, would be indifferent.

Tan Yue: [Don’t play with your phone, and you won’t be cold.]

Song Linchu choked again.

The dying chat was stabbed again, making matters worse, and was dying.

Little Songlin: [It’s not cold to chat with my ge.]

Little Songlin: [You’re amazing, ge! You must be a fairy!]

Look at him, how sincere and straightforward, how physically disabled and persevering, just say it if you’re touched!

Tan Yue: [[Mini Program] Your friend has shared a good book with you, “Educational Reader on Materialism and Atheism”.]

?!

??!

What the hell was this?!

After realizing Tan Yue’s intention in sharing the book, Song Linchu put his phone back into his coat pocket expressionlessly.

Sure enough, this was an unresponsive, steel straight man that can’t be flirted with.

Why do something so stupid and insist on being a licking dog?

Destroy it. This kind of straight man doesn’t deserve to have love!

*In this context, steel or straight man means a man who is doesn’t understand how to be affectionate and is low on emotional intelligence.
