Chapter 108: Teach Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Jin Nian felt somewhat irritated.
She picked up a cotton swab from the side and dipped it in an iodine solution, deliberately pressing it onto Lu An’s wound.
“Hiss…”
Lu An sucked in a breath in pain.
Jin Nian smirked slyly. “1 thought it wouldn’t hurt, huh?”
Lu An didn’t get mad. Instead, he burst into laughter. Meanwhile, his other hand was far from idle. He caressed Jin Nian’s back and moved it for a while before coming to her waist.
Jin Nian’s waist was incredibly slender, so much so that his hand could encircle it with ease.
Initially, Jin Nian paid little attention to Lu An’s actions. But when she noticed a certain change in the spot where she had been sitting, her face turned red. With an irritated glare, she scolded him, “Lu An, can’t you control yourself?” “How should 1 control myself?” Lu An playfully countered, exuding a carefree air.
If she had known earlier, she would have pretended that she didn’t notice. Jin Nian felt like she had just walked into a trap of her own making.
However, Lu An shamelessly leaned over and asked her, “Could you teach me how to control myself?”
His voice was low and husky, causing Jin Nian’s ears to turn crimson.
Hastily, she pushed Lu An’s face away and changed the subject. “You… you need to avoid getting the wound wet for now. Be careful when you shower.” “How can 1 be careful when showering?”
“Well, you can just avoid showering.”
“But 1 want to shower.”
“Then figure it out yourself.”
“Help me.”
“Give up on that idea!”
Jin Nian quickly tended to Lu An’s wound, put the first aid kit back in its place, and muttered, “I’m thirsty. 1 was just about to drink water and couldn’t.” Without waiting for Lu An’s reaction, she stood up and headed to the kitchen.
She grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the kitchen and quickly ran upstairs. She was as agile as a little rabbit, not giving Lu An a chance to pester her again.
By the time Lu An caught up to the upper floor, the door had already been locked by Jin Nian.
“Jin Nian, open the door.”
Lu An knocked on the door.
“I told you I wouldn’t let you in tonight. Now that I’ve said it, I’m sticking to it.
Don’t even think about coming in.”
Jin Nian’s voice emanated from inside.
With the marriage already sealed, certain rules had to be established.
Men like him who abandoned their wives to fool around should be punished.
At the very least, she had to confine him by the door and give him some time for introspection.
That night, Jin Nian had no idea how Lu An was faring. Nonetheless, she was doing quite well, having enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep. Lu An didn’t dare to kick the door open.
After all, she was acutely aware that Lu An was not the type to relish challenging authority.
Lu An’s journey through life had its share of pitfalls. A momentary lapse could easily have led him astray, and as he grew older, he might have even drifted into the wrong crowd.
Besides Xie He, he hadn’t been exposed to the right values and perspectives. In Hong Kong, where he was seldom seen, he was showered with excessive indulgence. Thankfully, his path eventually crossed with Jin Nian.
Jin Nian’s mother, a teacher, had instilled in her a superior way of viewing things from an early age.
Back then, Jin Nian often brought Lu An home. Under the influence of Teacher Tan, Lu An’s misguided values began to shift.
Perhaps there was some sort of destiny linking Lu An and Teacher Tan.
When other teachers were lecturing, Lu An’s attention wavered, but when Teacher Tan spoke, he was genuinely engaged.
Teacher Tan was also very satisfied with Lu An.
Lu An was an individual with both a wild and audacious nature, yet he displayed a great deal of respect toward women.
This stark contrast could be deemed a rare quality.
He never toyed with women. Even when he indulged himself, it was in the realm of outdoor adrenaline-inducing activities.
The scoundrels around him knew his personality and would restrain themselves when they were around him.
Unbeknownst to Jin Nian, on this very night, Lu An had indeed entertained some extreme thoughts. However, after regaining his composure, he abandoned such notions.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have a room key. Perhaps he could just kick the door open.
However, was there a need for such a small matter?
Instead of coercion, what he desired was Jin Nian’s willing acquiescence, or perhaps even…initiative.
Hence, there was no need to hasten things.
The following day, Jin Nian naturally woke up.
Although it was the weekend, she couldn’t continue to stay in bed. She had to go to the company to work overtime.
In an industry intertwined with the digital realm, working overtime was a common occurrence.
Their company was already considered to be more humane. As long as a planner like Jin Nian came up with a good idea, she could complete the task within working hours. However, there would be some accidents occasionally..
