32 We are together (1)
Song Jiuchen went out and took a taxi straight to the location that Fu Yuanzheng had sent him.
For the first time, Song Jiuchen was struck by how congested the roads were and how slow the cars were. When he was just one intersection away from the restaurant, and the navigation showed that the road ahead was all red, Song Jiuchen paid the bill and chose to run.
She was afraid that if she arrived even a second late, Fang Shuning would leave.
When Song Jiuchen arrived at the restaurant, his forehead was already slightly sweaty, even though it was almost winter.
Song Jiuchen took a deep breath at the door to calm himself before going inside. He immediately spotted Fang Shuning, her face beaming, in a very conspicuous spot.
Song Jiuchen stopped in his tracks for a moment.
Fang Shuning didn't notice that Dr. Xu, having taken off his business attire, seemed much more humorous by the door. "Why didn't I ask him out for dinner sooner?" Fang Shuning thought to herself.
Song Jiuchen's phone rang; it was Fu Yuanzheng.
"How about it, Secretary Song? Aren't you coming yet?" Fu Yuanzheng didn't believe that Song Jiuchen would stay at home after seeing the picture.
"I have arrived."
"We're here!" Fu Yuanzheng suddenly raised his voice inside the private room, silencing everyone around him. Fu Yuanzheng quickly apologized and then left.
This is the busiest time of day for traffic in City A. Song Jiuchen arrived really fast!
Soon, Fu Yuanzheng appeared in front of Song Jiuchen.
Seeing Song Jiuchen standing at the door, Fu Yuanzheng stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you going in?"
"I'm afraid of bothering her."
"Well, you're quite thoughtful!" Fu Yuanzheng said in a tone of disappointment. He really wanted to crawl into Song Jiuchen's head to see what was inside.
He didn't care; he considered Song Jiuchen a friend, a brother. He was willing to go to great lengths for his brother. No matter what kind of monsters or demons appeared out of nowhere, he would still give Song Jiuchen a push.
Thinking of this, Fu Yuanzheng grabbed Song Jiuchen and tried to rush inside.
"What are you going to do!" Song Jiuchen exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, it's all the same whether you stick your neck out or not, Secretary Song. We men are men, we shouldn't be cowards. Besides, this is a public place, she won't scold you, much less hit you, don't worry."
Fu Yuanzheng was better off not saying anything comforting. But it was indeed effective. Wasn't that his purpose in coming here? And now he was acting all coy again.
Why bother!
Yes, I'll go!
Then, Song Jiuchen and Fu Yuanzheng, with expressions of high spirits and resignation, stood in front of Fang Shuning and Xu Congye.
Huh? What are these two doing here?
He remained calm and asked, "Is there something you need?" Fang Shuning's reply that she had something to do meant that Xu Cong knew Fang Shuning, so it was no longer his concern.
"Something's up."
Fang Shuning didn't speak, but looked up at Song Jiuchen, her eyes conveying the message: say what you have to say and leave quickly.
Song Jiuchen really messes up at crucial moments, and starts stammering again.
Fu Yuanzheng was getting anxious, feeling utterly disappointed in Song. What was wrong with Secretary Song, who was usually so capable and efficient?!
"Ugh!" Fu Yuanzheng couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, Fang Shuning, what's your relationship with this guy? If you don't like our Secretary Song, just give me a straight answer. Don't string our Secretary Song along while dating some random guy. You're acting like a total scumbag!"
Hey~
Fu Yuanzheng's words made Fang Shuning laugh.
Fang Shuning didn't respond to Fu Yuanzheng's words, but instead looked at Song Jiuchen and asked, "Do you think the same way he does?"
"Just what?"
"Well, you three, if I may ask, would you like to sit down and talk? It's too abrupt for the two of you to be standing here."
The two then realized that they were indeed the only two people standing in the entire restaurant, which not only seemed out of place but also made them look like they were looking for trouble.
The two had no choice but to sit down.
"Dr. Xu, I'm so sorry you had to see this." Fang Shuning felt embarrassed.
"So, just what?" Fang Shuning continued from where she left off.
"However, if you find someone you like, I won't bother you anymore. I will wish you well." He paused, then added, "My sincere wishes."
Not only Fu Yuanzheng, but Fang Shuning also wanted to crawl into Song Jiuchen's head to see what he was thinking all day long.
"Won't you cry secretly?" Fang Shuning asked with a smile, her eyes never leaving Song Jiuchen.
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
Even Xu Cong, who was meeting Song Jiuchen for the first time, could see what Fang Shuning meant. Only he didn't understand, he didn't understand anything.
"It's okay, I'm strong."
Pfft~ The three of them burst into laughter.
Secretary Song truly possesses a unique sense of humor.
Under the interplay of lights, Fang Shuning suddenly didn't want to tease Song Jiuchen anymore.
Teasing him a little can be seen as flirting. But if you tease him for too long, he'll just leave you alone.
"This is Dr. Xu Congye. I saw him before, and I went for a follow-up appointment today. I just wanted to have a meal with him to thank him."
"Oh, I see," Fu Yuanzheng scratched his head. He had been too anxious.
What!
a bolt from the blue!
It struck Song Jiuchen's forehead like a muffled thunderbolt!
The sky has fallen! The sky has really fallen!
Even Fu Yuanzheng couldn't sit still anymore. If Secretary Song could forget something like this, he couldn't help him. He needed to run, yes, he needed to escape now, lest Fang Shuning settle scores later and he be implicated.
Xu Cong knew that what followed was a matter between Fang Shuning and Song Jiuchen, and he wisely decided to leave.
"Attorney Fang, I have some things to attend to at the hospital, so I'll be leaving now. Since this is to thank me, you can pay for the meal. Feel free to contact me via WeChat if you have any further questions."
"Okay, thank you."
"Then I'll leave too."
"Pay the bill!"
"No problem." As long as he leaves now, Fu Yuanzheng would be willing to pay the bill, or even buy the store.
In the blink of an eye, only Fang Shuning and Song Jiuchen remained.
Song Jiuchen felt uneasy. He knew he should say something, but what should he say?
"I'm sorry." If you don't know what to say, apologize first; it's always the right thing to do.
After all, he was drunk and forgot first; drinking really does lead to mistakes.
However, Fang Shuning wasn't there to hear him apologize.
She had some things to say to Song Jiuchen. Some very serious things.
