Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Methods of Pursuit (4 more)

"How are you? Did you pull at the wound?" Xu Niannian asked worriedly.

Jin Yu squinted his eyes and, seeing Xu Niannian’s worried expression, felt a full swell of emotion inside.

"Niannian... do you like me a little more now than you did a few days ago?" he asked hopefully, looking at Xu Niannian.

Jin Yu still remembered the day when Yang Cuihua was hurrying them to get married, and she said she didn’t like him that much yet.

Xu Niannian paused for a moment, seeing Jin Yu grimacing in pain yet still staring at her earnestly, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Without answering, she pressed forcefully against the back of his hand, "Are you silly? Why on earth did you pull the IV out?"

Jin Yu leaned forward slightly, slowly extended his hand, and sneakily wrapped it around Xu Niannian’s waist, pressing her tightly against him.

"You haven’t answered my question yet. Do you like me more?"

His voice was still hoarse, even somewhat coarse.

And there was tentative probing in it.

Xu Niannian bowed her head, feeling his hot breath on her forehead.

The longer she spent time with Jin Yu, the more she discovered how naively he approached matters of the heart.

Sometimes he was plainly silly, especially persistent.

Xu Niannian thought for a moment and softly agreed.

Jin Yu’s heart thrilled with joy upon hearing her answer, and he almost couldn’t control himself from scooping Xu Niannian up in his arms. Fortunately, she noticed his intention in time and hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, don’t hold me, I’ll get angry if you do."

Only then did Jin Yu stop.

After finally stopping the bleeding on the back of his hand, Xu Niannian had Jin Yu lie down on the bed to rest.

Jin Yu had been lying down all day and wanted to refuse, but under Xu Niannian’s sharp glance, he eventually obediently lay down on the bed.

If Jin Ruiyang was recklessly mad before, then Jin Yu was the epitome of reckless disregard for his own life.

His injuries were much more severe than Jin Ruiyang’s, almost costing him his life.

Once he settled down, Xu Niannian went to the hospital to call over a nurse to continue his IV therapy.

When the nurse left the hospital room, Jin Yu saw Xu Niannian holding a bag and thought it was food for him. He hurriedly said, "Why have you brought me food again? I’m not hungry yet."

Xu Niannian: "...These are my clothes."

"Clothes?" Jin Yu was perplexed, but then something dawned on him, and his dark eyes slowly brightened, "You plan to stay with me?"

There was an uplift in his voice, his eyebrows rose, and Xu Niannian could clearly feel his excitement and happiness.

"What else?" Xu Niannian said, "Would I leave you here alone?"

Having received a definite answer, a broad grin spread across Jin Yu’s lips. Xu Niannian asked him why he was smiling, and he shot back unwaveringly, "This injury wasn’t suffered in vain."

Xu Niannian glanced at him: "I don’t want you to get hurt."

"Hmm?" Jin Yu pricked up his ears, his deep eyes becoming even brighter.

Xu Niannian could clearly see the expectation in his eyes.

Instead of teasing him, she took hold of his other hand that wasn’t receiving the IV, "I hope you are well."

Jin Yu clasped Xu Niannian’s soft hand in his and held on even more tightly.

Xu Niannian patted the back of his hand and recalled something Xu Sisi had told her to ask about, "By the way, after we left today, did anyone else come to see you?"

After they left?

It was Jin Ruiyang, wasn’t it?

Jin Yu suddenly became guarded as he asked, "Why do you ask?"

Jin Yu thought, it couldn’t be that Jin Rui’s antics somehow involved running into Xu Niannian and flirting with her, could it?

Xu Niannian was puzzled by his guarded tone, "Why are you so nervous? I was just asking on Sisi’s behalf."

Hearing this, Jin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, my cousin came to see me."

"Your cousin?" Xu Niannian was surprised, "So you have a cousin, hmm?"

Jin Yu: "..."

Xu Niannian asked eagerly, "Is he handsome?"

Jin Yu: "..."

Squinting, he pulled Xu Niannian closer and kissed her forehead, his tone a bit sour as he said, "Not as good-looking as me."

His tone was so sour that Xu Niannian could feel it.

Laughing, she replied, "Yes, yes, you’re good-looking, the most handsome."

Jin Yu shamelessly laughed.

Xu Niannian continued to probe for Xu Sisi, "Does he have a partner then?"

Jin Yu was displeased, "Why are you paying so much attention to him?"

Xu Niannian said helplessly, "Didn’t I tell you? I’m asking for Sisi. You know how young girls are; Sisi said your cousin is really handsome and that she likes him."

Jin Yu: "..."

So blunt?

But Jin Ruiyang indeed had the charm to hook young girls.

After thinking about it, considering Xu Sisi would be his future sister-in-law, he decided to side with his wife’s family and reminded Xu Niannian, "My cousin loves to play around and isn’t suitable for your cousin. Besides, he already has someone he likes."

Although the ’liking’ he referred to might have just been superficial attraction to someone’s looks.

"Ah? He already has someone he likes? Looks like our Sisi is about to have her heart broken," Xu Niannian sighed, not very concerned.

Sisi was probably just infatuated with his handsome face; it was unlikely she’d be too heartbroken.

Jin Yu suddenly remembered something Jin Ruiyang had asked him to do. This was the first time Jin Ruiyang wanted to pursue a woman, and Jin Yu, thinking he was of marriageable age, decided to lend a hand.

He figured women would understand women better.

So, Jin Yu asked Xu Niannian, "Niannian, I have a question for you."

Xu Niannian was propping up her chin with her hands, elbows resting on the hospital bed.

Hearing Jin Yu’s words, she tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What question?"

Her bright eyes flickered, the moist pupils so enticing that Jin Yu felt an itch in his heart, tempted to stand up and kiss her.

Jin Yu coughed forcefully to refocus and shifted his gaze back to the matter at hand.

"What do you women like men to do for you?"

"We women?" Xu Niannian seized on the word "we" and asked Jin Yu, "Who else are you planning to court?"

This frightened Jin Yu not a little, and he quickly clarified, "Not me, my cousin."

Xu Niannian wasn’t angry, she just looked at him with calm detachment.

Jin Yu uneasily ruffled his hair and told Niannian, "Didn’t I tell you? My cousin likes a girl and wants to pursue her, but he only knows how to flirt, not how to seriously chase someone."

"Oh..." Xu Niannian suddenly understood, "So you want to help him woo the girl, is that it?"

"Not to chase her for him, but to offer him advice," Jin Yu explained.

Xu Niannian nodded, showing she understood, and was not upset.

"I don’t know about others, but if it were me, I would like it if he sent flowers...maybe even write a love poem or something. Romantic," she said.

Of course, Xu Niannian left unsaid the precondition that the man must be someone she liked.

As Niannian spoke, her hands framing her face and a radiant smile curling her lips, her eyes were filled with longing.

It was a simple thing, really, but for some reason, Xu Niannian found it incredibly romantic and especially endearing.

Perhaps it was due to watching too many TV dramas in her previous life, coupled with her being single; every time she saw the male lead prepare a surprise bouquet for the female lead, she felt particularly envious.

Especially a surprise followed by a love poem confession; even thinking about it made her heart flutter.

Of course, all this was based on the assumption that he would be someone she liked.

Even if it wasn’t someone she liked, he had to be handsome.

A surprise from an unrelated handsome man was romantic.

If he was unattractive and there was no existing relationship, and he still tried to be romantic, that was harassment.

Yes, that’s the harsh reality.

Xu Niannian also conveyed her opinions on the matter of attractiveness to Jin Yu.

Jin Yu looked at Xu Niannian, seeing the yearning in her eyes, and it sparked deeper thoughts within him.

Jin Yu thought about it; Jin Ruiyang was definitely a catch in the eyes of women.

He would probably be considered handsome.

Xu Niannian had also shared various methods to pursue a girl with Jin Yu.

As Jin Yu listened, seeing her lips move, he couldn’t resist and forcefully pulled Xu Niannian onto him.

Xu Niannian was in the midst of explaining an important point, so when Jin Yu pulled her, she blurted out a startled "Ah" and collapsed on top of him.

He still had injuries on his body, which frightened Niannian terribly, "What are you doing?"

Jin Yu’s lips curled into a smile, his arms wrapping around her waist, "I was thinking, none of the things you mentioned, I’ve done for you. How did you agree to date me in the beginning?"

Jin Yu really had a way of pushing his luck; in just that short moment, the bandage wrapped around his chest again became soaked with blood, prompting Niannian to cry out in alarm.

"Jin Yu, let go of me, your wound is bleeding," she exclaimed.

Jin Yu glanced at his injury and, although it hurt, he didn’t seem to care, stubbornly holding onto Niannian as he persisted in his questioning, "Can you tell me why?"

Niannian was exasperated and chuckled helplessly, "What’s there to say? I just yearn for that kind of romance, but I’m not insisting that you do that for me. Fantasy and reality are different."

"How are they different?" Jin Yu asked.
