Incurable Pain | Chapter 83.1

The next day was New Year’s Day, a good day with a holiday.

It was surprising to see snow falling lightly from the early morning in Linlan. Fine snowflakes, a thin layer clinging to the city like morning dew, quickly covering the entire city with a layer of frost, suddenly dropped the temperature, which made it chilling to the bone.

But Bai Xunyin’s home was equipped with underfloor heating, so the house was warm as spring. The girl’s slender and fair arms were exposed outside the thin blanket, like winding water snakes.

In the quiet atmosphere, before long, the nearby man pulled up the blanket to cover her.

Covering up those ambiguous little red marks.

Yu Luoyin’s black eyes drooped slightly, propped up his body halfway, and quietly watched the sleeping girl—last night, they really spent the New Year like that, making Bai Xunyin tired.

The corners of the girl’s milky white porcelain face were slightly red, her eyes closed. 

She had cried hard yesterday.

Yu Luoyin watched for a while, unable to resist the annoying urge to use his slender fingers to tease her like a feather.

Bai Xunyin, still half asleep, felt something on her face, and she furrowed her delicate eyebrows, wrinkling her nose, like an angry little kitten.

Then she reluctantly opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Luoyin playing a prank on her.

Bai Xunyin woke up in a huff, annoyed, pushed away Yu Luoyin’s hand. Her voice, hoarse from crying a few hours ago, was a bit husky. 

“What are you doing?”

“Darling.” 

Yu Luoyin’s hands propped on both sides of her head, lowered his head and gently pecked the girl’s lower lip, asking the question that had just popped back into his mind— 

“Who are the two potatoes?”

Two potatoes?

Bai Xunyin’s still sleepy brain was a bit confused, her voice low and muffled. 

“What are you talking about?”

“One claims to be your ‘junior’ and said he added you twelve times, that little brat.” 

Yu Luoyin smiled, his voice seeming calm and waveless, but there was a hint of sarcasm— after all, sometimes, men care a lot about age.

His clear and slender eyebrows raised slightly. 

“How old is he?”

…

What nonsense was he spouting?

Bai Xunyin glanced at him helplessly, stretched out her arm to reach for the phone on the bedside table. Her unintentional exposure was a feast for the eyes for the man next to her.

She opened her phone and saw the notification for a friend request on WeChat’s ‘New Friends’ section, then realized what Yu Luoyin was talking about.

It turned out that Sheng Jianian’s WeChat name was “Two Potatoes,” and the message in the remark could really cause misunderstandings.

Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She casually pinched Yu Luoyin’s face with her hand.

“Just a junior.” 

She leaned against the head of the bed, her black and fluffy hair covering half of her snowy white shoulder, her expression innocent and innocent. 

“I’m now a teaching assistant for a teacher, and of course, many students come to add me.”

Actually, she was deliberately downplaying things a bit, intentionally ignoring what had happened at the university before.

It wasn’t because she felt guilty or anything, but because she felt that if she mentioned it, Yu Luoyin would get angry again.

But why let her know that he was angry? 

Anyway, she wouldn’t add Sheng Jianian.

So, in front of Yu Luoyin, she deleted the friend request message.

Seeing this, Yu Luoyin pretended to be ‘magnanimous’ like an afterthought. 

“Why delete it? I’m not that petty.”

…

Liar.

Bai Xunyin silently complained in her heart. She finally realized why Yu Luoyin had teased her so mercilessly last night.

Men could be even more terrifying when jealous, and petty.

This matter was temporarily considered over, and the New Year’s Day of the two passed without much ceremony, spent indoors watching movies.

They were even too lazy to go to the cinema for a movie.

They chose an old movie, the British romantic comedy “Love Actually.”

This movie should belong to Europeans and Americans as a ‘New Year’s Day film.’

Bai Xunyin had only occasionally seen the classic scene of confession with cards, finding it quite romantic, but had never watched the whole movie.

Today, in Yu Luoyin’s arms, she watched for over two hours, only then did she understand the meaning behind the card confession.

It turned out that the guy in the movie had fallen in love with his best friend’s girlfriend, an unspoken confession that couldn’t be uttered.

No wonder it had to be expressed in the form of ‘silent drama.’

“So from the past till now, the pursuers around beautiful girls are always relentless.” 

Yu Luoyin watched and made a somewhat mocking comment, but there seemed to be a hidden meaning. 

“Even after engagement, they’re unstoppable. Do you think wearing a ring to show you’re not single is useful?”

…

His words seemed to be about the movie, but also seemed to imply something to Bai Xunyin.

The girl couldn’t help but lower her head silently, glanced at the ring on her middle finger.

Yu Luoyin’s gaze followed hers, and after the melodious ending song of the movie, the room fell into a strange silence, warm and tender.

The man’s slender fingers climbed up hers, and he said meaningfully, “Then… how about we switch fingers to wear the ring?”

This was a proposal.

Bai Xunyin was stunned, feeling a little panicked.

She subconsciously withdrew her finger.

The girl turned her head to avoid the man’s gaze, pretending to be nonchalant. 

“You’re right. Engagement and marriage can’t stop the influx of third parties. What’s the use of wearing a ring on a different finger?”

She currently had no intention of getting married, so she could only discreetly refuse.

Seeing Bai Xunyin’s lips inadvertently tightening, Yu Luoyin smiled helplessly.

But he could only pretend to be nonchalant like nothing had happened, maybe he was too impatient.
