Logically, Wednesday afternoon from 5 pm to 7 pm was the time slot that Chu Yingying had booked.
Lin Xiao originally planned to finish the order and then have a get-together with his friends.
When Chu Yingying saw him, Lin Xiao's heart tightened slightly, and his dark eyes flashed.
Recently, both Senior Sister Chu and Junior Sister Bai have been quite clingy to him. If he were to put the two of them together, it would definitely be awkward.
However, in front of Grandma Liu and his aunt, Lin Xiao couldn't afford to completely embarrass Chu Yingying, especially since Chu Yingying was his client.
Lin Xiao could only smile faintly and say, "If Senior Sister Chu is coming, of course you are most welcome."
Chu Yingying glanced at Lin Xiao with a half-smile, and could tell that he wasn't sincere. She felt a little disappointed.
She didn't insist on forcing herself into Lin Xiao's life.
She didn't want to annoy him.
She... wasn't unable to restrain her desire to possess Lin Xiao's heart domineeringly.
"Never mind. I have something to do, so I won't go. I was just teasing the junior. Look how scared he was!" Chu Yingying put her hands in her pockets and smiled sweetly, but there was no smile in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Xiao smiled faintly, "Senior Chu, you're too kind. It's my honor that you could come to my birthday party. How could I possibly be scared?"
Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
She went to Grandma Liu's bedside, sat down, and chatted with her to keep her company.
Grandma Liu was amused by her granddaughter and smiled broadly. She couldn't help but glancing at Lin Xiao and whispering, "Really not going?"
Chu Yingying pursed her lips, shook her head, and whispered, "I'm not going."
A hint of sorrow appeared in Grandma Liu's eyes. She smiled and said nothing more.
Tong Chunni was also anxious and whispered to her nephew, "Ah Xiao, why don't you invite Yingying to have dinner together? Young people should get together more often and have fun; that'll build up their friendship."
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, chuckled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I know what I'm doing, Auntie."
To change the subject, Lin Xiao picked up the notebook and stuffed it into his aunt's hand.
Then he unfolded the small folding table and placed it on the hospital bed.
"Auntie, please write a couple of lines now, and I'll take a look," Lin Xiao said softly with a smile.
Tong Chunni laughed with an embarrassed expression, "My handwriting... looks like a dog's scratch. Ah Xiao, you're not allowed to laugh at your aunt."
Lin Xiao pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh. "Okay. I promise I won't laugh."
Tong Chunni looked up and glared at her nephew with a smile, "Still not smiling? If you weren't pursing your lips, I think your mouth would be stretching all the way to your ears."
Chu Yingying turned to look at Lin Xiao, only to see his profile as he suppressed a laugh, and couldn't help but smile faintly as well.
I think Lin, the junior, is kind of cute.
He's both handsome and cute.
I love it.
At noon, Tong Chunni specifically told Chef Ding that she wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Lin Xiao.
According to Lin Xiao's taste, the dish included finely chopped minced pork, fried eggs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bok choy, pickled cowpeas, and a spicy flavor.
Chef Ding also added a few fresh shrimp, which made the dish more flavorful, and Lin Xiao ate with great satisfaction.
After lunch, Lin Xiao accompanied his aunt for a walk in the small garden. He left while his aunt took a nap.
He had just stepped out of ward 505 when he received a message from Chu Yingying.
The code for the front door is your birthday. Go and rest first. I'll ask my attending physician for leave and then go home.
Lin Xiao paused, staring intently for a long while.
Is this an attempt to get something for free?
He had planned to drive around the city at his leisure.
After all, driving back to the school and then to Chu Yingying's place would be a waste of time.
Let me check the time; it's 1:30 PM now.
There are still three and a half hours until five o'clock.
Half an hour on the road is enough. Three hours remain.
So, does Senior Chu want to get three hours of his time for free?
It's wrong to get something for free.
He was determined not to let himself be taken advantage of.
With those three hours, there are so many things he could do, like go see a movie.
So he quickly replied with his long fingers: "No, senior. I have something to do. See you at five this afternoon."
In the nephrology office, Chu Yingying had just finished telling her attending physician that she wanted to ask for leave early and received approval.
She took out her phone from her pocket and looked at it; the smile on her face instantly froze on her lips.
A bitter feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.
Her beautiful eyes instantly lost their dazzling light.
Being rejected is a really unpleasant feeling.
And the person who rejected her was always the same.
The attending physician, Wu Chi, gave Chu Yingying a deep look, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's wrong, Yingying? Did your boyfriend stand you up?"
Wu Chi is the chief physician of the nephrology department. He has rich clinical experience, strong research capabilities, is tall and robust, and has an elegant demeanor. He is about forty years old.
Chu Yingying closed her eyes.
She doesn't like people calling her by her name; she dislikes that kind of casual intimacy and hypocrisy.
She said in a calm tone, "Director Wu, this is the tenth time I've reminded you. Please call me Chu Yingying. Thank you."
"Besides, whether my boyfriend stood me up or not is none of your business. I'm leaving now."
Wu Chi watched Chu Yingying's departing figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Chu Yingying strode out of the office and rushed towards ward 505.
When the young lady arrived, the bodyguard Dali at the door was startled awake and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
He looks really unwell.
"Where's Lin Xiao? Has he already left?"
Dali nodded blankly, "They just left. Miss, if you chase after them now, you might still be able to catch up. Do you want me to go with you?"
Dali just mentioned it casually out of professional habit.
She didn't think her young lady would actually do anything to pursue a man.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and continue her nap, she heard Chu Yingying say, "Yes. Dali, go after him. If you catch him, stop him for me. I have something to say to him."
Dali blinked blankly, and when she realized what was happening, she quickly said "Yes" and ran off.
Dahlia is a professional.
She sprinted at top speed and finally spotted Lin Xiao on the street outside the hospital.
"Lin Xiao—Mr. Lin—" Dali's voice was also specially trained, with strong penetrating power, capable of reaching two hundred meters away.
Lin Xiao vaguely heard someone calling his name, and turned around in confusion to look.
As soon as she stopped, Dali rushed over like an arrow.
"Mr. Lin, please don't leave yet. My young lady has something to say to you," Dali said, supporting herself on her knees and panting heavily.
Lin Xiao's heart sank slightly. "I understand. I'll wait for her in the car ahead. Dali, you go back first."
Dali was worried: "Mr. Lin, where is your car parked? What's the license plate number? Does my young lady know about it?"
Lin Xiao strode away, leaving only the words, "Don't worry, I'll tell your young lady."
Dali was not at ease.
She followed Lin Xiao like a tail, determined to find the place with her own eyes.
She couldn't let her mistress down.
loyalty!
At this moment, Chu Yingying, who had taken off her white coat, also came out.
She came running up, panting, "Dali, you've worked so hard. Go back and take care of Grandma. I'll make you some braised pork knuckle tonight."
