My Dongguan Love Story

Tang Yan curled her lips into a cold smile, her gaze fixed on Lin Guilian, whose face had turned pale. She was certain that this person was just playing a trick to manipulate Da Zhuang.

Lin Guilian appears to be emotionally broken and hysterical, but in essence, she is using self-harm to force Dazhuang to compromise, give in, and feel guilty.

She believed that Lin Guilian wouldn't actually dare to pull out the IV line. Even if she did, the person was still in the hospital, so it wouldn't cause any major problems. Tang Yan naturally didn't care at all; after all, it wasn't her who was suffering.

With this thought in mind, Tang Yan's eyes grew even sharper. She stepped forward, pointed at Lin Guilian, whose face was tense, and shouted at me, "Dazhuang, let go. I want to see if she dares to pull it out."

Upon hearing Tang Yan's words, my movements suddenly froze, and the strength in my arms unconsciously loosened considerably, slowly releasing the hand that had been firmly pressing down on Lin Guilian.

To be honest, I knew in my heart that Lin Guilian was gambling with her own life, using it as a bargaining chip to force me to bow down and compromise. This kind of extreme blackmail made me feel inexplicably suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.

She took a knife for me before, falling into a pool of blood and barely escaping with her life. At that time, I could completely understand her willful desire to achieve her wish. But now, she has just crawled back from the brink of death, her body still weak and exhausted. The moment she opened her eyes and faced Tang Yan, she was confrontational and provocative at every turn, her sharp edge completely unrestrained, showing no understanding of forbearance or concealment.

Looking at the hesitation and wavering in my eyes, Lin Guilian felt a sudden chill run through her, a coldness spreading from her limbs to her bones. Her pale, chapped lips trembled slightly, her eyes surging with intense grief and resentment. She looked directly at me and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Dazhuang, tell me, do you still stand by what you promised me?"

Seeing my hesitation and continued silence, Lin Guilian forced a bitter, self-deprecating laugh, her voice trembling, each word chilling: "Dazhuang, you're denying it now, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan immediately scoffed, her tone full of sarcasm: "Don't always threaten to pull out the IV. Heh, I really don't believe you have the guts. The nurse specifically told us just now that you absolutely cannot pull out this tube. You're so weak right now, if you really pull it out, you might go into shock, or even die."

She moved a few more steps closer, her eyes sharp: "What? Scared after hearing that? Don't use your body and life as leverage to blackmail Dazhuang so easily in the future, or you'll end up losing more than you gain!"

Hearing Tang Yan's sarcastic words, Lin Guilian was so angry that her eyes blazed with fury. She tried to sit up and yell at her, but when she tried to lift herself up, she couldn't. Her body was weak and powerless; she had no strength at all.

She glanced at me with despair, then turned to Tang Yan, her voice icy and chilling: "Tang Yan, you're saying I don't dare to pull it out, is that it?"

Upon hearing her words, Tang Yan stiffened her neck and looked at her: "Yeah, do you dare? You think you can threaten me? I won't fall for that."

Hearing Tang Yan's sharp and sarcastic words, Lin Guilian felt a surge of rage well up inside her. Her body tensed, and her fingertips trembled slightly. A feeling of suffocation welled up in her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She glared at Tang Yan and roared with all her might, "Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"

Tang Yan showed no intention of backing down, a mocking smile playing on her lips as she defiantly said, "You vixen, you want to get rid of me so you can be all lovey-dovey with Da Zhuang, huh? I'm not leaving!"

These words completely crossed Lin Guilian's bottom line, provoking her to the point of near irrationality. Her eyes reddened, and her voice carried a desperate resolve: "Dazhuang, tell her to get out! If she doesn't leave, I'll kill myself!"

I watched Lin Guilian's hysterical outburst silently, feeling only exhaustion and indifference.

Her aggressive, suicidal demeanor, so stubborn and domineering, was like an IV drip that held her together, causing her pain and threatening her life, completely disregarding the fact that she had just escaped death.

All that remains in my heart is coldness and exhaustion. Ultimately, to love others, one must first love oneself. How can someone who recklessly abuses their own body and gambles with their life expect expect others to unconditionally yield, or to open their hearts to accommodate and cherish them?

Her repeated extreme threats have gradually eroded the last vestiges of guilt and heartache in my heart.

I didn't glance at the two arguing in the ward again, turning and walking straight out the door. The small ward was filled with hysterical pulling and confrontation; every scream was heavy and oppressive, making my chest tighten and my breathing feel suffocating. I didn't want to stay a moment longer; I just wanted to escape this relentlessly oppressive atmosphere completely.

I thought to myself that as long as I withdrew and stopped getting involved, letting the two of them confront and argue, without me as the focus of their dispute, they would probably gradually calm down.

I had just reached the door when the nurse rushed in. She glanced at me, then looked at Tang Yan and said, "What's all the noise about? The patient needs to rest. Get out."

There is a nurse on duty outside the double recovery room. She is responsible for the care of all the recovery rooms on this floor.

From afar, he could hear a noisy commotion inside the room, like a bustling market. His face immediately turned anxious. He went to the door and saw Tang Yan arguing with Lin Guilian, her head bowed and her expression changing drastically.

Lin Guilian just had surgery and needs to rest. How can you argue with her at this time?

Faced with her stern rebuke, Tang Yan was clearly stunned and remained silent for a moment.

The nurse then looked at me outside the door, her face showing some displeasure: "Family member, I already said that the patient needs to rest after just falling ill. How can you be making such a racket? If you want to argue, go outside."

She told me to take Tang Yan out.

I nodded repeatedly as I listened to her words. She was right, and I had no choice but to accept it. I quickly pulled Tang Yan to the door.

Tang Yan was pulled to the door, feeling very uncomfortable. But seeing the nurse's stern face, she didn't say much. Once at the door, she complained to me with a displeased expression:

"Dazhuang, it's not like I wanted to argue with Lin Guilian. She's trying to steal my man. How can I tolerate that?"

"Yeah, I know, I know," I replied casually, utterly exasperated by these two. They were like oil and water, always arguing about who was right and who was wrong. I wearily rubbed my throbbing temples, suppressing my impatience, and patiently began to advise them:

"She's still injured, don't bother with her. You should go back now."

Tang Yan was initially reluctant to hear what I said, but seeing my unpleasant expression, and not wanting to upset me and affect our relationship, she thought for a moment and nodded: "Then Dazhuang, I'll go back first."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something important and said softly, "Lin Guilian is in such a state, should we tell her parents? Let them come and take care of her."

Upon hearing this, I remained silent for a moment, my fingertips unconsciously clenching. After weighing the options in my mind, I decided that I should ultimately ask Lin Guilian herself for her opinion first.

When Tang Yan heard that I planned to let Lin Guilian inform her family herself, she didn't dwell on the matter any further. She took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned back to look at me, her expression serious and somewhat urgent, and solemnly instructed me:

"Dazhuang, Lin Guilian isn't a good girl from a respectable family. Don't let her fool you and agree to be her boyfriend!"
