Fu Jingchen's face burned with embarrassment when he talked about his school days.
Zhou Luo is the complete opposite of Fu Jingchen. She was very well-behaved since childhood, especially since her mother was a teacher. In order to gain her mother's approval, she wanted to perform even better.
Zhou Luo knew very well what kind of mischievous classmates were like.
"You were ignorant when you were little. Luckily, apart from causing trouble, you didn't hit any classmates or anything, and you didn't grow up to be a social menace. But my mom doesn't know what you were like when you were little. Just say you were quite obedient and had excellent grades. Anyway, you got into university in the end." In order to make her mother have a better impression of Fu Jingchen, Zhou Luo told the man not to tell the truth.
"No way, it's not right to lie on our first meeting. I'll just say I was naughty and disobedient, but I've become more and more obedient since starting junior high. Don't the teachers say that a child who can admit their mistakes and correct them is a good child?" Fu Jingchen refused to lie.
After that, when both sets of parents met, who in the family let something slip?
“Yes, to be honest, I didn’t think it through.” Zhou Luo nodded.
noon.
Zhou Luo's mother called her daughter to ask where the woman was.
Zhou Luo looked out at the mountains. She didn't know anything, only that the train would arrive at the station at one o'clock.
Zhou's mother gave a few instructions and then hung up the phone.
Mr. Zhou laughed at his wife, saying that she usually seemed fearless and carefree, but he never expected her to be so nervous about meeting her son-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou scoffed, "And you're talking about me? I wonder who it was that was walking around in the yard all morning, and they've worn holes in the ground."
"Nobody should laugh at anyone else." Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea to calm himself down. "Don't even mention me, my second son and the others have come several times, asking if their son-in-law has arrived yet. They're all more anxious than we are."
"The second son is afraid that Luo Luo's partner is better than his son-in-law. He doesn't believe us and has to see it for himself." Zhou's mother has lived in the village all her life and has long understood the ways of the world. Among the sisters-in-law, there is always comparison. No one really wants others to be better off than themselves.
Mr. Zhou wasn't stupid; he knew what his second son's family was thinking, but after all, they were his own brothers, so he couldn't just say it out loud.
"Teacher Du is right. We just need to keep it to ourselves. There are some things we shouldn't say aloud." Mr. Zhou coaxed his wife while trying to maintain his relationship with his brother.
The elderly couple simply sat down at the doorway and waited for their daughter to return.
Lanshan Garden.
Han Yue waited anxiously until noon, but did not hear any news about Rong Bing. Thinking that Fu Jingchen and the others should be almost at Zhou Luo's house by now, Rong Bing must not have caused any trouble, and she finally felt relieved.
She called Rong Bing.
Rong Bing only went back to her room to rest in the morning.
She had a terrible headache, and it took two painkillers to feel a little better.
When Han Yue called, she was lying in bed with her eyes open, clearly exhausted, but unable to fall asleep.
She pressed the speakerphone button: "Auntie."
Rong Bing's voice was hoarse.
"Child, are you home? Why is your voice so hoarse?" Han Yue had already guessed that Rong Bing's voice was probably hoarse from crying.
“I’m at home,” Rong Bing said weakly.
"Have you eaten?" Han Yue asked.
She asked a question, Rong Bing answered it, and finally Han Yue suggested that they go out for a meal near her house.
Rong Bing refused, saying she hadn't slept all night and was very tired.
He hung up the phone after saying that.
She really didn't have the strength to go downstairs.
Han Yue could sense Rong Bing's dejection even through the phone. She muttered to herself, "Let's go see her, sigh."
Han Yue packed two dishes made by her aunt and went to Rong Bing's house.
——
Songshan Clinic.
Rong Yan was on leave, but because she hadn't been managing the clinic much lately, she still went to the office today even though she had no work scheduled.
She went to the cafeteria for lunch, and everyone came over with their trays.
Rong Yan initially thought they wanted to ask Shen Xingzhi, but it turned out they all wanted to go to the charity lecture hall to help out for free.
"Dr. Song, I don't have to take a break. I'm single anyway, and I have nothing to do if I take a break," the receptionist said.
Xu Lei, who is 170cm tall, is also very beautiful, but she is in her mid-twenties and still single. Everyone says she is too picky.
【Me too. I have a boyfriend, but it's a long-distance relationship. I don't see him after get off work, which makes me prone to overthinking. I might as well find something to do.】
Although I'm married, my husband often travels for work, and I have to go with him.
...
Singles, married people, and even those with children all said they could spare the time, just waiting for Rong Yan's word.
Rong Yan touched her forehead: "Thank you everyone. I will definitely call you if I need you in the future. But right now there is only one classroom, so it is really unnecessary for so many people to go. There are too many people and the place is too small to accommodate everyone."
"Can we talk about it later?" Rong Yan thanked everyone for their enthusiasm, but if everyone went at once, they might get complaints.
Okay, let's arrange them according to today's order.
[Should I create a table and list the substitutes in order?]
Yes, it's fair.
"No need, we don't know when we'll need people, and you might not have time then." Rong Yan didn't like to bother everyone with things outside of work.
Let's wait for Dr. Song's notification; Dr. Song will decide for himself.
In the coffee shop, Ye Jianming sneezed several times in a row.
For the past two days, he's been sneezing constantly for some reason. He muttered to himself, "I wonder if anyone misses me."
Zhao Rong came to buy coffee again, just as expected.
Zhou Luo returned home, then went out for a stroll, pretending to pass by a coffee shop.
Ye Jianming didn't notice whether he had seen the person in front of him before; he personally made the coffee according to the customer's order.
Zhao Rong stared at the man's profile, completely smitten.
Ye Jianming seemed to sense the intense gaze beside him. He turned his head and found Zhao Rong looking down at her phone.
The woman was swiping the screen haphazardly, and Ye Jianming almost noticed.
The coffee was quickly made, and Ye Jianming asked gently, "Your coffee is ready. Would you like it to drink now or take it to go?"
"Let's drink it right away," Zhao Rong said without hesitation.
Holding her cup, she sat near the bar, pretending to savor her coffee as she said, "Boss, your shop is really unique! The coffee beans smell wonderful too."
When a customer praised his coffee, Ye Jianming was naturally pleased and began to talk at length about the origin of the coffee beans. Zhao Rong, however, was only focused on his handsome face and didn't hear a word he said.
To show that you've heard, you have to nod from time to time.
"If you like our drinks, come often. We launch new products every month, designed by the owner himself," Ye Jianming said proudly.
“Okay, I’ll bring my friends too.” Zhao Rong couldn’t be happier. She wanted to ask Ye Jianming if she could add him on WeChat, but she realized that it was too hasty and decided to wait.
As Zhao Rong stepped out of the coffee shop, she seemed to see pink balloons floating in the sky.
Unexpectedly, this man was not only handsome but also very polite.
She found the photos she had secretly taken and sent them to Zhou Luo.
The woman, still on the high-speed train, received a message from Zhao Rong. She opened it and saw a photo of Ye Jianming saying, "Zhao Rong went to drink coffee again."
Zhou Luo had mentioned Zhao Rong to Fu Jingchen. The man knew that Zhao Rong was interested in Ye Jianming, but Zhou Luo didn't think the two of them were a good match. Fu Jingchen, on the other hand, hoped that Zhao Rong and Ye Jianming could have some interaction.
