Chapter 15 The Sky Clears After the Rain
Third Brother knew that things hadn't gone well and had brought trouble to his brothers. Apart from having a grudge against Yuan Lin, he also didn't have a good impression of Su Nan.
"Now listen to others say that only Dr. Su can cure Dahei's injury, and he couldn't help but scold loudly: 'Nonsense! Isn't Dr. Su a doctor? Are you saying that all the doctors in Pucheng are useless and can't even cure this kind of injury? We're not doing anything else now, let's take Brother Dahei to the hospital first and have the doctor treat his injury.'"
Da Hei's arm hurts badly, but he was just enduring it earlier. Since his brothers were affected, they had to take care of things first. Now that everyone's attention is on their own injuries, they know it's time to go to the hospital for treatment.
"Lao San is right, we can't just believe whatever Su Nan says. Let's go to the hospital and ask a doctor first." As for Yuan Lin, he has a name, surname, and address, so he can't run away from us, and we can temporarily ignore him for now.
Su Nan went home directly after dinner, and at this time in a big city, it wasn't considered late. As he walked through the alleys and onto the bustling streets, most of the shops on both sides of the road were still open. Suddenly, Su Nan turned around and entered a flower shop by the side of the road as if driven by his thoughts.
Originally promised to have dinner with Chen Tong and Ning Yu, but ended up not going, although I've already explained over the phone, still need to apologize. Just like Ning Yu said, need to ask for their forgiveness.
Su Nan had no experience with girls, but there was plenty of information on movies, TV shows and the internet. He knew that few young girls didn't like flowers. At this stage in their relationship, giving gifts wasn't intimate enough, while giving food was too common, so a bouquet of flowers seemed just right.
As expected, she returned home with two large bouquets of flowers, and when Chen Tong and Ning Yu saw them, they both shrieked and rushed over to grab one each. Although in their social circle, they often encountered some rich playboys or losers who would block their way to give them flowers at school, but it didn't feel the same; no matter how beautiful the flowers were, they seemed tasteless.
It's different from Sūnán. The three of them lived in the same house, and this geographical proximity naturally brought their relationship closer. Sūnán also cured Níng Yú's painful illness, and in two days, Chén Tóng would also ask Sūnán to treat her. This treatment, more often than not, was done by Sūnán as a friend. Having had physical contact, they were also psychologically closer to Sūnán.
Now seeing Su Nan bringing flowers back, a small sweetness naturally emerges in her heart.
"Su Nan, you have a conscience after all, and you still know how to bring flowers back to coax us. Do you know or not, Ning Yu was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner just now." Chen Tong said with a sly smile, sniffing the bouquet deeply while looking at Ning Yu with slanted eyes.
"What's wrong with me...?" Ning Yu was still holding the flowers and indulging in them, but when she heard Chen Tong say that, she glared at her fiercely, "Chen Tong, you're talking nonsense! It's clear that you didn't have an appetite for dinner, yet you turn around and blame me. This time I won't let you off!"
"Is it that I don't want to eat? It's clearly because your cooking is bad, you used MSG as salt and put so much of it in, how can I swallow this!" Chen Tong giggled and hid far away, starting to expose Ning Yu's embarrassing stories.
Ning Yu's face turned red as she rushed over to Chen Tong, her hands reaching into his armpits to tickle him. "You're talking nonsense! It was you who misplaced the seasoning bottle yesterday while cooking. That spot has always been for salt, who would have thought it'd become MSG? It's all because of your mistake that I couldn't cook well."
"It wasn't me! I didn't cook yesterday!" Chen Tong exclaimed loudly while dodging.
"It's not who you are, I didn't cook yesterday, it definitely can't be me." Ning Yu shouted, but her eyes slowly turned towards Su Nan.
Chen Tong also came to his senses at this time. He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Ning Yu, then turned his head to look at Su Nan.
"Uh, this...". Su Nan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry about that, I think I cooked dinner last night."
"Hmm!"
"Hmm!"
Chen Tong and Ning Yu's faces showed a look of "as expected", humming at Su Nan, turning their heads away, no longer paying attention to him.
"Uh, this... I was wrong, isn't that enough?" Sunan hastily apologized to the two women. It's said that when women, especially beautiful ones, get angry, it's a very serious matter, and he didn't want to try to find out just how serious.
I was the one who made a mistake first, and the beauty agreed to dinner but then stood me up. Then, because of my own carelessness, we ended up having a super fresh dinner together, which would have extinguished their anger, but when it erupts, I'll definitely be the unlucky one.
"You tell me, how can I admit my mistake to make up for my wrongdoing." Su Nan straightforwardly handed over the initiative, trying to use a good attitude of confession to get a lenient treatment.
Finding the culprit, Chen Tong and Ning Yu immediately united their front, standing together. They looked at each other, nodded in unison and said.
"Let him do something for us."
"Get him to agree unconditionally to one of our demands."
"No, one is too few, it's better to have a few more." The two had barely finished speaking when they shook their heads in denial.
Su Nan, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship and his face began to turn green. "Two of you, no need to be so ruthless, right?"
"How dare you say we're ruthless?" Chen Tong raised an eyebrow, "Three things, either do three tasks for us or agree to three requests. It's settled! No negotiating, not one less."
"Right, not one less!" Ning Yu also said affirmatively with her eyes wide open.
"Alright." Sweat dripped down from Sunan's cheek.
As expected, the beauty was angry, with an unstoppable force. Looking at the two of them, their eyebrows were upside down, their apricot eyes were wide open, and they pouted their small mouths, looking huffy and cute. How could he argue with them now?
It's just three things, okay? They're both kind-hearted girls who shouldn't make things difficult for themselves. Others want to get close to the beauties and help them with things, but the beauties don't even want that.
"Let's make it clear, each person has three things, but not a total of three things." Chen Tong's eyes rolled, and he added new settings.
"Right, you have to help each of us with three things, or agree to our three requests." Ning Yu also followed Chen Tong's words and added.
"Alright, I'll play along with you guys." Su Nan said with a sense of relief. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt anyone and they wouldn't let her do anything that would harm society, so she might as well just treat it like a game with them.
Upon seeing Su Nan agree, Chen Tong and Ning Yu's anger turned into laughter, and they became happy again.
"Okay, I'll go first." Chen Tong's eyes curved into a crescent moon shape as he smiled, "Our class is having a party on the weekend, you have to accompany me and perform a program together."
"Ah?" Su Nan's mouth was wide open, his face contorted in pain. How could he have thought that Chen Tong's request would be this kind? "Chen Tong, let's change the request instead. Your class is having a party, what does it have to do with me going? I'm not even from your class."
"No way, you have to agree." Chen Tong chuckled with a sly look on his face, "Others will have someone accompanying them, but if I go alone, it would be too embarrassing for me. So, this is a request that you can't refuse."
"You could have just brought Ning Yu along." Su Nan continued to make excuses. Having lived together for this period of time, he also had a basic understanding of Chen Tong and Ning Yu's situation. Although the two were in the same department, they weren't in the same major. Ning Yu was a dance major, while Chen Tong was an art major.
Chen Tong kept shaking his head, "Ning Yu must go together, but she doesn't meet the requirements. We need a member of the opposite sex to accompany us. Su Nan, you wouldn't want me to lose face, would you? If it's just Ning Yu and I going, with no boy by our side, that would be so embarrassing."
Su Nan seemed to hear a hint of conspiracy in Chen Tong's words, "You, Miss Chen, are as beautiful as a celestial being. Are you still lacking people chasing after you? If you want to find someone to accompany you to the party, wouldn't that be easy?"
"Get out!" Seeing Su Nan hesitating, Chen Tong couldn't help but shout in anger, "Is it just them? Not one of them can catch my eye. I only considered you a friend, that's why I let you accompany me to the party. How could you be so indecisive?"
Seeing Chen Tong seemed to be really angry, Su Nan stopped insisting and just accompanied her to attend a party, which wouldn't affect himself anyway. "Alright, Chen Tong, I promise you, I'll go with you to the party. Is that okay?"
"Hmph! I think you're just a stubborn donkey, no matter how well I explain it to you, you won't listen until I whip you twice!" Ning Yu said with an unusual tone, coldly laughing and joking with Su Nan.
Su Nan's face was once again covered in sweat, and the black lines danced before his eyes. Ning Yu, who usually looked quite gentle, turned out to be surprisingly sharp-tongued when he got angry.
Although he is now familiar with the two of them, Su Nan still isn't used to joking around with girls. Being teased by the two like this, he just chuckled and pretended not to hear what they were saying.
When invited to dinner, Su Nan actually dared not to come, although there was a valid reason, but the idea of reasoning with girls should not have existed; then he also put the wrong seasoning bottle, and two girls did not eat well for dinner; again, inviting him to attend the party, he still hesitated. All this added up, enough for Chen Tong and Ning Yu to accumulate a bellyful of anger.
But this resentment was vented, and Su Nan didn't respond at all, just laughing over there. The two girls felt like they were punching a cotton ball, with no impact point, and couldn't even vent their anger properly.
"Hmmph!"
"Hmm!"
The two of them simultaneously rushed towards the south, throwing a hygiene ball, and only then turned around, ignoring Su Nan. Of course, they didn't forget the flowers in their hands, putting them under their noses to smell again, improving their mood, with smiles on their faces, returning to their own room.
Su Nan didn't see the two people's smiling faces, but saw that they suddenly stopped paying attention to him. He rubbed his head in confusion and wondered, "Has the storm passed?"
