Chapter 317: Bringing a Man Back
"Xiao Zhi."
Ye Qingbo greeted Bai Zhi before trying to calm himself down and looking at the two girls sitting opposite Bai Zhi.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Lu and Dr. Shen."
When Ye Qingbo saw Lu Shan, a sense of nervousness rose in his heart, and his heartbeat quickened as before.
Seeing Shen Qian and remembering Xie Zheng's haphazard matchmaking, a hint of unease flashed across his face.
To avoid being misunderstood as persistently pursuing him into the hospital, he looked at Bai Zhi and hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhi, I came to see you because I'm afraid it might be too late if I wait for you to get off work."
Bai Zhi made room for Ye Qingbai, gesturing for him to sit down, "Cousin, please sit down and talk."
Ye Qingbo didn't eat here, so he didn't sit down either. He got straight to the point, "I just called my dad. They're on the train to Nancheng right now. They said they'll arrive in Nancheng at six o'clock this afternoon."
"Your uncle is arriving today?" Bai Zhi's face lit up with joy upon hearing the news. "Are your uncle and aunt coming? And is my cousin coming too? By the way, is my uncle coming with them?"
"I don't know, there's no signal on the train. I only heard him say that we'd arrive at the train station at six," Ye Qingbo said. "Xiao Zhi, I just wanted to tell you this. You go to work, I'll go pick them up."
"You and Lu Ye go pick him up together. Pick him up directly at home and wait for me to get off work. We'll go out for dinner tonight."
Hearing that her family had arrived ahead of schedule, she was overjoyed. Remembering what happened last night, she said to Ye Qingbai, "Grandpa will be very happy to see them come to Nancheng. The old man has a strange temper; he's not really angry with you, so don't worry about it."
Ye Qingbo smiled and said, "I didn't take it to heart. It was my fault anyway. Xiaozhi, I'll be going now."
He looked at Lu Shan and Shen Qian and greeted them naturally, "Dr. Lu, Dr. Shen, goodbye."
Goodbye, Xiao Ye.
Lu Shan ate her meal with a cold and indifferent expression throughout, and at this moment she politely said goodbye to Ye Qingbai.
"Goodbye." Ye Qingbai's face remained calm, but the sweat on his palms, hanging by his side, betrayed his true feelings.
He lowered his eyes and strode away. Only after leaving the cafeteria did he stop, and he couldn't help but look back one last time, giving a bitter smile.
Although he was rejected and had no chance to get close to her again, just seeing her by chance and politely greeting her still made his heart flutter uncontrollably and made him nervous.
After booking the hotel, Ye Qingbai contacted Lu Ye.
Lu Ye arranged to meet Chen Lin today, and Xie Zheng was also present.
He raised an eyebrow when he heard that Ye Qingbo and Xie Zheng had talked all night.
He asked Xie Zheng, "Where is he now?"
She ran away from home last night and I haven't seen her yet today.
Xie Zheng replied,
"He slept with me until noon, saying he went to call his dad."
While they were chatting, he received a message from Ye Qingbo calling him.
I only found out that Ye Qingbai's father was coming after I made the phone call.
The arrival of Bai Zhi's uncles in Nancheng was something that Lu Ye needed to take very seriously.
He immediately stood up and said, "You two talk, I have to go."
"What's up?" Xie Zheng asked. "Are Xiao Bai's uncles coming?"
Xie Zheng was hospitable, but mainly because he was bored at the moment, he wanted to join in the fun. "Let's go pick them up together, it'll show we value it."
Lu Ye refused outright, "No need, you'll just take up a seat if you go, and I'm afraid there won't be enough room in the car."
Ye Qingbai didn't say how many people would come, so if he drove there, he would have to reserve a spot in advance.
"You stay with the third brother, I'm leaving now."
Lu Ye left, leaving Chen Lin and Xie Zheng staring at each other.
As childhood friends, they now have their own careers, and the industries they work in are completely unrelated.
Given the nature of Chen Lin's work, Xie Zheng and Chen Lin simply couldn't talk about work or careers when they were together.
So, we can only talk about feelings.
After all, Chen Lin is not young anymore.
"Are your family pressuring you to get married?" He looked at the future great scientist with a melancholy expression, his tone utterly dejected.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "We won't rush them. They know I'm very busy and can't focus my energy on relationships for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng sighed with a hurt expression, "So, the reason they keep urging me to find a partner is because I'm too idle?"
"Possibly."
Xie Zheng, “.......”
His eyes flickered, and he immediately had an idea. "That's easy, I can get busy right away."
Even if you're not busy, you should pretend to be very busy.
He's moving out of his house tomorrow to live with his teammates.
Chen Lin looked at him and said very seriously, "If you don't reject Xiaoqian, the relationship problem can be solved now."
Xie Zheng interrupted him, "Get out, don't say things like that."
His eyes darted around, full of ideas. "If they keep pressuring me and make me angry, I'll bring a man back with me."
Chen Lin, "!!!"
Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, he adjusted his glasses, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes.
Xie Zheng didn't notice anything unusual about him. He pulled Chen Lin up and said, "Alright, come on, I'll take you for a walk."
When Lu Ye met up with Ye Qingbai at the hotel, Ye Qingbai was lying on the bed, looking like a corpse.
Lu Ye saw the man lying there sprawled out and said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you home? What are you doing lying here?"
Ye Qingbo looked aggrieved. "I've been kicked out. Can I even go back?"
"Anyway, if my uncle comes, I'll have to make room for him, so staying in a hotel is just right for now."
"Why were you kicked out?" Bai Zhi didn't explain in detail last night, so Lu Ye really didn't know what Ye Qingbai had said to offend his grandfather.
"I misspoke, it was my fault."
Ye Qingbai agrees with this point.
He shouldn't have spoken so carelessly about his second grandfather when he was in such a bad mood.
Harming the elderly.
He didn't dare go back to apologize to the old man today.
When his father arrived, he met his second grandfather and sincerely apologized to him.
"Watch your words in the future." Lu Ye looked at him and said seriously, "I understand that you are in a bad mood because my sister rejected you, but you can't take your bad mood to the people closest to you and hurt them."
“You know that your grandfather was the first relative to stand up for you. No matter what the outcome, you should be grateful.”
Ye Qingbo lowered his eyes, looking guilty. "Brother Ye, I know, I was wrong."
He cannot deny that his temperament is still not calm and he is prone to impulsiveness and restlessness when faced with problems.
He spoke without thinking and hurt his second grandfather's feelings.
"Alright, let's go."
Ye Qingbai put on his coat and said to Lu Ye, "Xiao Zhi said everyone is going out for dinner tonight, should we make a reservation in advance?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "I don't know how many people there are yet. Let's make the reservations when they arrive."
"Alright, let's set off then."
Lu Ye drove his car and arrived at the train station at 5:30 to wait with Ye Qingbo.
During this season, the train station doesn't have a large passenger flow, and the exit isn't crowded either.
After parking their car, they waited at the exit.
The train was ten minutes late. At 6:15, Ye Qingbai's father, wearing an eye-catching fur-trimmed leather jacket and carrying a small leather bag under his arm, was the first to step out.
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Ye Qingbo felt a surge of warmth and said, "Dad."
