Doctor Jiang looked very knowledgeable and reminded emphatically: "I'm talking about the hands. Be careful with injured hands. Don't press on them or break them. The bones haven't grown back yet. Don't, do whatever you want with the rest. You can be normal... well, just the posture, the posture, pay attention. Hiss, I'll find a senior sister to teach you."
"No need!" Ou Yingxin blushed unnaturally, "You can go now."
Lin Cijiu was also a little embarrassed and picked up her bag and coat to leave.
Doctor Jiang said seriously: "No, you really need to be careful."
"Shut up and do your own thing!" Lin Cijiu said with a cold face and wanted to chase him away.
Doctor Jiang felt a little aggrieved by her harsh words, "Okay, okay, I know you understand. What the hell am I doing?"
Both of them were very embarrassed when they came out of the hospital. Lin Cijiu lowered the temperature in the car a little. The two of them couldn't look at each other and didn't know how to break the awkwardness.
But it was even more awkward for the two of them not to talk, especially in the car. Ou Yingxin coughed lightly and said, "Did you know when I entered the hospital?"
"Well, the doctor has the obligation to notify the family." Lin Cijiu said lightly, without mentioning that it was because she heard the sound of an ambulance on the phone at the time and asked some friends to find out the information.
"Then why didn't anyone tell me when you went to the hospital for stomach problems last time?" Ou Yingxin is not so easily fooled.
Lin Cijiu didn't explain to her. She looked at her and remembered that he had filed for divorce from her when she had the car accident that day.
Why at that time?
She wanted to ask, but then she thought that Ou Yingxin might take the opportunity to discuss the divorce schedule with her, so she simply didn't mention it.
Ou Yingxin actually thought of this matter as well. She was a little afraid that Lin Cijiu would ask about it. This man had a high IQ, and he might guess that she was afraid that he would become disabled and become a burden to her, so she filed for divorce in one go.
How embarrassing it would be for her. It was just a broken bone, but she looked like she was about to make arrangements for her final affairs. It would be strange if Lin Cijiu didn't laugh to death.
She quickly changed the subject, "Why don't you check your stomach?"
"No need, I can take care of myself." Lin Cijiu prepared to start the car. Her stomach has been much better recently. It was because of the work pressure before.
Ou Yingxin, like all wives, would bring up old issues. "Humph, that's right. You secretly made your own medicine when you were a teenager. How come you haven't taken care of yourself?"
"..." Lin Cijiu lowered her head and sorted out her thoughts. Ou Yingxin was always angry recently, and she didn't know what had offended her. She looked up at her and said softly, "You've been a little fierce lately."
Their relationship was not like this before. They were always quarreling recently, which made Lin Cijiu wonder, is it because his wife wanted a divorce and his tolerance for her decreased?
Lin Cijiu had no other intentions, she just wanted to raise this issue. If the situation wasn't improved, they really wouldn't be able to get along anymore.
But Ou Yingxin was not as calm and rational as her. She said angrily, "I care about you but you still say I'm mean. I don't care about you. You must have been fed up with me for a long time. You don't have to pretend to be accommodating to me."
Lin Cijiu was stunned for a moment by what she said.
"At worst, we can just divorce..." Ou Yingxin got stuck in the middle of her sentence and didn't continue arguing with her, but it seemed as if a storm was brewing in the carriage.
Just when she was feeling upset, Ou Yingxin's cell phone vibrated. Given the nature of her job, she received a lot of calls and she would not answer all of them.
But at this time, she chose to look at her phone.
It was a call from my best friend from college, Bai Yue.
She looked up at Lin Cijiu. Should she answer the phone or have an argument with Lin Cijiu?
After only a second of consideration, she answered the phone. Bai Yue's gentle voice came from the other end, "Baby, you finally remembered to answer my call. What are you doing? Let's get together. Xiao Min is here too. Our top student is here, let her come over too. I'll wait for you at the old place."
"Ah."
The car was quiet and Lin Cijiu could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone.
She started the car and drove directly to the "old place", which was a small restaurant. When Ou Yingxin was blackened by the entire Internet because of Fang Ye, a group of women like them were chattering there and came up with a bad idea.
It was also from that day on that Lin Cijiu has been cheated by her until now.
Ou Yingxin secretly glanced at Lin Cijiu. Her face was cold and it was unclear whether she was angry or not.
She began to reflect on herself in her daily life and realized that she had gone too far. She didn't know why she always lost her temper for no reason recently. It couldn't be menopause, and she wasn't that old.
Besides, she only loses her temper with Lin Cijiu, and she’s fine when getting along with others.
Ou Yingxin couldn't understand what was wrong with her and felt inexplicably irritated.
Lin Cijiu has always been a steady driver, and soon he arrived at the door of the restaurant. As usual, the car stopped at the door and then went to the parking lot.
Ou Yingxin got off the car first as usual, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got off, Lin Cijiu drove away in a cloud of dust.
Looking at the taillights of the car going away, Ou Yingxin stomped her feet in anger, "Stingy bastard!"
Her girlfriends were already sitting in their old seats, eating melon seeds and chatting. When they saw her, they all started by checking her hands.
"It's okay. Lin Cijiu asked her senior brother to help take a look at it. It's nothing serious. It just takes some time to rest." Ou Yingxin's face darkened again when she mentioned a petty bastard.
Seeing that she looked strange, the sisters asked her with a smile, "Why, did you quarrel with that familiar face again?"
"Don't mention her, I'm annoyed!" Ou Yingxin ordered a glass of ice water, trying to calm herself down.
Bai Yue poured her a cup of green tea and gently advised her: "Nerds like her are not easy to get along with. It has been difficult for you over the years."
The other girlfriends didn't say anything, but looked at Ou Yingxin with a smirk on their faces.
Bai Yue persuaded her softly, "Actually, you don't need her to cover for you anymore. If you can't live together anymore, you can separate. Do you want to be bound together for the rest of your life?"
"I have plans, but I've been a bit busy lately." Ou Yingxin said awkwardly, and somehow she started to make excuses, "Actually, she's pretty easy to get along with. Maybe it's because of work that I'm a bit annoyed lately."
Those guys came over with evil smiles and asked gossipingly, "Aren't you planning to get a divorce?"
"How could that be?" Ou Yingxin said firmly, "We are planning."
"It's Lin Cijiu who doesn't want to divorce. If she does, the Lin family will definitely force her to get married. Are you willing to let the sheep fall into the tiger's mouth?"
"I heard that several of her senior brothers are single and waiting for her."
Her girlfriends said naughty things and glanced at her with evil smiles.
Ou Yingxin couldn't help but recall that Lin Cijiu wanted to marry her because he was annoyed by his family's urging to get married.
Like most of her peers, Lin Cijiu doesn't want to get married, and being single is actually fine. But her family doesn't think so, and she has more blind dates scheduled than work.
Maybe that gossipy Dr. Jiang had a blind date with her.
Seeing her frown, some gossipy girlfriends started to make a noise, “Look, look, you can’t bear to part with it.”
Ou Yingxin realized that they were teasing her on purpose, and said angrily, "That's enough. You laugh at us every time. Is that fun?"
"Interesting! Actually, we were just talking about how good you two are like this."
"Isn't it? Although Lin Ci's old man is a little cold, he is good-looking. Unlike my old man, he has a bald head and a big belly. He looks completely uninteresting."
"It's sexual interest."
"Don't laugh at me. You were just complaining about your boyfriend who just stays in his room and plays games every day."
A group of women began to chatter and complain about the disappointments of their thirties. Except for Bai Yue, every woman had endless complaints in her life.
The one at home is getting more and more greasy. She is called auntie by the new intern and is also induced to give birth.
Even Ou Yingxin could chime in, "Who said I wasn't urged to give birth? Her mother also urged me to give birth in the past two years, but it wasn't so obvious."
In between her complaints, some of her besties advised her, "Why don't you have a baby? With the Lin family's genes, the baby will definitely be a top student."
"Goodbye, I can't stand another nerd." Ou Yingxin said this, but she couldn't help but think in her head that if there was a really cute little nerd, it would be easy to take care of her. Whenever she cried, she could just give her a book.
The sisters probably thought of some funny scenes and urged them actively, "You two have such good genes, hurry up and have a baby, I want to be the godmother."
"Why do you want a divorce? You two are fine like this. I think you can live together forever."
Hearing the words "a lifetime", Ou Yingxin looked out the window in a daze for a moment.
How could something so far away be possible?
Bai Yue said softly, "How can we be friends forever? There must be other needs. Even if you are willing, is Lin Cijiu willing?"
Ou Yingxin understood what her "other needs" meant. In fact, she had also thought that Lin Cijiu, a man whose heartbeat never speeds up no matter what, might be straight.
"Alright, alright, Bai Yue, you're having a hard time now and you're causing trouble for others."
Bai Yue straightened her long neck like a white goose and said angrily, "I'm not unhappy at all."
"Don't pretend. I've heard that your husband lost a lot of money recently."
Ou Yingxin had actually heard that the business circle in this city was only so small, and her industry had always been well-informed.
She knew Bai Yue didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the subject: "Don't talk about this, aren't you going to order food?"
The group of girlfriends looked at the door and said, "Our beautiful lady Lin is really not coming."
"Let's order first. She has something to do today." Ou Yingxin didn't want to mention that Lin Cijiu had been angered and left by her. She felt a little annoyed. On the one hand, she was angry, and on the other hand, she felt guilty. Why did he say that to her just now?
The sisters continued to play and gossip while eating. Ou Yingxin occasionally interjected, but she was always a little absent-minded.
From time to time, her eyes glanced towards the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street. She didn't know what she wanted to see and felt a little confused.
At a certain moment, she saw a familiar white windbreaker swaying outside the window and then walking away.
She felt something in her heart and stood up immediately.
"Take your time eating. I have something to do and need to be out for a while. I'll treat you next time." After saying that, he disappeared like a gust of wind.
The setting sun hung on the antique octagonal roof. Lin Cijiu stood under the eaves, which matched the quaint carved wooden window behind him.
Like a cold and beautiful woman in a painting, she looked up at the sky, feeling a little helpless. She didn't understand why she had made her wife angry again.
She just glanced at the restaurant entrance and saw that the group of familiar people inside had already started eating. It was obvious that Ou Yingxin didn't want her to join them.
As expected, those who study science and engineering are not very popular.
