Chapter 22: “Wei Nanlin is Not a Corgi.”

50.

Being human is truly tough.

Just because I cleaned up, Dr. Wei completely deprived me of the right to use my tablet in bed, claiming it’s bad for my neck and spine!

We all understand the logic, but implementing it is truly painful. In this day and age, which young person doesn’t use electronic devices in bed???

Huh???

I felt a bit helpless, “But I’m so bored. I can’t sleep at all.”

“In that case, let’s discuss some psychology topics together.” Dr. Wei turned off the light, lay down, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Do you know why, when someone is in trouble, the more onlookers there are, the fewer helpers there seem to be?”

“I don’t know.”

“Just think about it.” Wei Nanlin scratched my earlobe.

“I don’t want to think about it.”

“You don’t seem very happy today. Are you worried about your crooked spine?”

“…” I’m worried that you’re sexually inadequate!

But saying such a thing would be hurtful. I can’t exactly ask, “Are you not very capable in that department?”

It’s practically a breakup reservation.

While Wei Nanlin was closing his eyes and getting ready to sleep, I reached for my phone, slipped under the covers, and secretly searched on a webpage: How to tell if your boyfriend is not performing well in bed.

It seems that many friends who shared my concerns had similar problems, recounting many unfortunate experiences and painful lessons.

【I sleep with my boyfriend, but every night he just plays games. By the time he’s done, it’s already early morning, and I’m asleep. When I’m awake, he’s still playing games and doesn’t pay any attention to me. I’ve hinted at him several times, but he’s indifferent. It seems like his world is just about games… We’ve only been married for a month, what should I do?】

Most comments were comforting, but one direct and piercing comment made my heart skip a beat.

【I can only say he doesn’t really love you.】

【Could he be gay and married as a cover?】

【Could he still be attached to an ex?】

The first two can be entirely ruled out, but the last one… I couldn’t help but suspect that this person might have some hard-to-talk-about experiences.

“Xiao Chu, what are you doing?” Wei Nanlin’s voice suddenly came from above, startling me.

“Nothing!” I raised my voice nervously, stammering, “Nothing! Why are you still awake?”

“Give me your phone. It’s so late, and you’re still playing? Do you want to recover or not?” Wei Nanlin grabbed my phone when I was off guard.

“Eh—”

Before I could close the browser, I panicked and jumped off the bed, attempting to snatch it back. “Give it back first!”

It’s so suffocating!

This is even more awkward than the first time I blocked someone else’s toilet at their place!

I absolutely won’t allow such a suffocating scene to happen!

Perhaps my impatience aroused his suspicion. Wei Nanlin raised his hand to glance at the screen, and I covered it with my hand, snatching it back, “Don’t look, I have many little secrets.”

Wei Nanlin raised an eyebrow and asked directly, “Are you watching adult content?”

“No!”

“Then why can’t I see? Do you have other secrets?”

I swiftly destroyed the evidence, “Everyone has their little secrets, don’t they? Don’t you have any secrets?”

Wei Nanlin shook his head candidly, “I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

Gazing into each other’s eyes, the atmosphere was thick with affection. It was a perfect setting, an extraordinary opportunity.

After contemplating for a while, I decided to use an indirect approach to probe.

“Do you watch that kind of content regularly?”

“Well, of course.”

Dr. Wei’s honesty was completely unexpected.

Because he really doesn’t seem like the kind of person who’d secretly watch that sort of thing. No wonder he takes showers for more than half an hour…

“Would you like me to share some with you?” Wei Nanlin suddenly pulled out his phone.

No, that’s not what I meant! (#`O′)

51.

Not having a sex life would have been fine, but now even my hobbies are being taken away from me.

When I’m with him, it’s either about health, walks, workouts, reading, watering plants, or cleaning.

Finally, one day, unable to bear the loneliness, I applied to adopt a little dog to play with.

Wei Nanlin: “Isn’t having me around enough for you?”

I rolled on the bed, exclaiming, “But I like dogs, I just want to have a dog. Look at all the older folks in the park enjoying themselves walking their dogs. I don’t have that.”

Wei Nanlin sighed.

Suddenly, I sat up, “Did you agree?”

“No, you can’t even take care of yourself properly, how will you manage a dog? It’ll shed hair everywhere, and cleaning it up would be a hassle.”

“We can keep it in the backyard. I’ll make a doghouse for it.”

“It’ll chew up all the flowers and plants I’ve nurtured.”

“Fine.” I disappointedly flopped back.

Days passed like this, and gradually, I forgot about this matter. One day, after work, I pushed open the door and saw several fuzzy little plush toys on the ground.

Shiba Inu, Husky, Corgi, and even the little white dog from Crayon Shin-chan were there.

Wei Nanlin shouted from the kitchen, lowering his voice, “Welcome home, little master.”

I chuckled softly, picked up the little plush toys strewn on the floor, and placed them on the couch. “Why did you buy so many stuffed animals?”

Wei Nanlin responded, “Don’t you like dogs?”

“I do like dogs, but I like real ones that can move.”

Wei Nanlin grabbed the Shiba Inu’s head and squeezed it, “It’s not just mobile, it can sing too.”

As soon as he said that, the Shiba Inu began “singing” Jay Chou’s “Love Confession.”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “You’re so childish. If we accidentally sit on it at night, it might give us a scare.”

Wei Nanlin’s voice, coming from behind the Shiba Inu, mimicked, “Xiao Qi, don’t you like me?”

I rubbed the soft body of the Corgi, “I really like it.”

“That’s good,” Wei Nanlin flicked my nose, “I’ll go cook a couple more dishes, and I’ll call you out to eat in a bit.”

“Okay.” I neatly arranged the plush dogs on the couch and prepared to use the restroom first.

As I passed by the bedroom, I faintly heard the sound of a puppy’s whimpering.

I pushed the door open and saw a delivery box tied with a ribbon on the floor, the sound was coming from inside the box.

Another talking plush toy?

I squatted down and just untied the ribbon when a dog’s head suddenly popped out, startling me so much I jumped up on the spot.

The Corgi saw me, tilted its head, and continued to bark, “Woof!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!” I was so excited that I stomped my foot, “Doggy, doggy! It’s a doggy!”

I held the Corgi and rushed out of the room, shouting incoherently, “Wei Nanlin! It’s a Corgi!”

Wei Nanlin sighed, “Wei Nanlin is not a Corgi.”

I hugged the Corgi to my chest, “Did you buy it for me?”

“Otherwise?”

“Dr. Wei! You’re really so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!” I temporarily put down the Corgi, rushed into the kitchen, and hugged him, “Thank you.”

Wei Nanlin raised his hand and ruffled my hair, “But you have to take good care of it, because I don’t have that much time to look after it.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” I nodded vigorously, “Didn’t you refuse to let me have a dog before? Why did you buy one now?”

“Because I imagined how you’d look when you received a surprise… I couldn’t help but want to see it.”

Instantly, tears welled up in my eyes. I hugged him again and rubbed my head against his shoulder, “I love you so much.”
