The Veterinarian (1v1) (H) - 14
Chapter 14 - What do you want?
After Shen An finished eating, he
received another call from Tan Yuanyuan.
He had an appointment for surgery
in the afternoon, and the customer asked him to do it today and was unwilling
to change the time. Tan Yuanyuan had to call him to ask when he would be
finished.
Shen An glanced at his watch,
"In half an hour."
Bai Li pursed her lips and drank
sips of milk. Shen An didn't know what she liked to drink, so he bought seven
or eight different drinks. Seeing that she picked hot milk, he had an idea and
put aside other cold drinks.
She drank the milk, wiped her
mouth, and put her mask and sunglasses back on.
Shen An pulled up her hat for her,
patted her head gently, and said with a tenderness that he didn't realize he
had, "I'll take you back."
Bai Li refused in a low voice,
"...No need."
Shen An was not offering. He simply
clasped her wrist and led her out, holding a large bag of unfinished cold
drinks in his hand.
Bai Li was too weak to struggle
away, and her voice was as quiet as a mosquito, "Shen... I can... walk by
myself."
Shen An stopped, turned around
and looked at her, but didn't let go, just asked, "What did you call
me?"
Bai Li lowered her head, not
daring to speak out.
With a little smile in his eyes,
he asked again, "What did you just call me? Call me again and I’ll let
go."
Her ears suddenly felt hot and
her voice trembled, "Doctor Shen..."
The little girl's voice was soft
and fell in his ears, making his insides feel indescribable pleasure. He let go
of her wrist, moved his knuckles down a little, and grabbed her hand.
Bai Li was startled and her whole
body froze.
"Can you hold me like
this?" he asked.
Bai Li was confused and her body
was shaking terribly. She subconsciously pulled her hand back, but she couldn't.
The man's strength was neither light nor heavy, but he held her tightly.
"If you don't like it, just
say it." His voice was low, but it was full of temptation, "Can I
hold you like this?"
Bai Li's face turned red. She
shook her arms and pulled back. Her voice was soft and small, and still
trembling, "No... no..."
"Okay?" Shen An deliberately pretended not to hear the word 'no' from her, held her hand and
walked forward.
Bai Li's whole body felt like it
had been boiled by boiling water, her neck and ears felt hot. She pulled back
hard, her voice anxious and crying, "Shen...doctor, let go..."
Shen An squeezed the soft hand
and gently let go of her.
He turned back and gently rubbed
her face with his fingertips through the mask, "Are you crying?"
Bai Li lowered her head and shook
her head lightly.
"Hate me?" he asked.
Bai Li’s body was still in a
state of tension from being held by him, tense and uneasy. When he heard him
ask this question, she subconsciously looked up at him in panic. When she
touched his dark eyes, she lowered her head in panic. After a moment, she shook
her head slightly. .
"Okay, I get it." Shen
An raised her lips slightly and took her to take a taxi at the intersection.
This time he didn't sit in the
passenger seat, but sat next to Bai Li.
Bai Li looked out the window the
whole time, not daring to look at him at all.
Shen An looked at her nervously
wringing her fingers and called her in a low voice, "Bai Li."
Bai Li hunched her shoulders
slightly and turned her head very lightly, but her eyes were lowered, still not
daring to look at him through her sunglasses.
"I listened to the playlist
you shared." He deliberately eased her nervousness and started singing
without warning, "I have crossed mountains, rivers and seas, and also
passed through mountains and seas of people... Sorry, it's out of tune."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment,
and then she realized that he was making her laugh.
She turned her face to look out
the window, bit her lip and smiled softly, and her twisted fingers stretched
involuntarily.
After getting off the car, Shen
An walked her to the door. Before leaving, he patted her on the head through
her sweater and hat, "I'm leaving."
Bai Li waited for him to leave,
then touched the top of her head in slow motion.
She took off her mask and
sunglasses, and when she walked to the bathroom, she saw herself in the mirror,
her face flushed like a fire.
She turned on the faucet and
quickly splashed water on her face.
Her fingers accidentally touched
the swelling on her forehead, and she took a deep breath. When she looked up in
the mirror, she remembered for no reason the image of a man lowering his head
and getting closer. His thin lips were slightly opened, and his warm breath
fell down her face.
She covered her face and closed
her eyes tightly in shame.
Shen An walked to the door of
Room 202 on the second floor and took a photo. After going downstairs, he got
on his motorcycle and returned to the clinic.
Several clients were waiting for
him. He put a bag of cold drinks on the table, left one for Tan Yuanyuan, and
distributed the rest to the clients.
He put on a white coat, washed
his hands and disinfected, and worked in the operating room and diagnosis room
for more than an hour before finally taking a break to drink some water.
He sat on the sofa in the lobby
and stretched his shoulders and neck. He took out his phone and opened WeChat.
His eyes fell on the top column and he suddenly discovered that Bai Li had
transferred 5,000 yuan to him.
There was also a sentence on it:
[Sorry, you had to go to the police station because of me and that you were
fined. I hope you’ll accept the money. 】
He pressed back.
Then he pressed the voice button
and said, "Compensate me something else, not cash."
Because he had been busy for more
than an hour and didn't speak much, his voice was slightly hoarse. Bai Li on
the other end of the phone felt her ears burning. She replied after a while:
[...What do you want? 】
Shen An twitched the corners of
his lips and spoke again.
Bai Li bit her lip and opened it
gently. A man's hoarse voice came from the receiver:
"Next time we hold hands,
don't refuse me."
Omg Shen An is soooooooo smooth.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one hating the ML? I hate pushy men. But I guess some women (?) like men to be pushy, or is okay with it as long as they're hot(?). It's not something 'romantic' in my dictionary. It's like a step away from men who gaslight, manipulators, controlling.
ReplyDeleteYes, I find it uncomfortable and unromantic too. I like space and boundaries a lot so his actions are giving too much but yeah it seems like some women don't mind it or they have a confident control over the situation
DeleteTo me I don't think what the ml did is bad
DeleteIf he was not straightforward the fl would still be the way she is till the end
