Chapter 79: Keeping the Vacation
The wind in early winter always carries a biting chill, blowing up the sycamore leaves that have not fallen yet at the street corners, making them swirl outside the glass curtain wall, and then being warmed by the warm light coming from the restaurant, making them lose their temper.
The private restaurant chosen by Yu Huaizhang is located in the old city, and the window seat on the first floor has the best view.
Looking up, you can see the newly made red lanterns hanging on the eaves, and looking down, you can see pedestrians walking slowly on the bluestone road.
The warm yellow light wrapped in the aroma of food seeped out from the glass windows, softening the coldness of the winter night.
When he arrived, Lu Zhuoyuan was already waiting for a table. He was wearing a camel-colored wool coat with its buttons unbuttoned, revealing the collar of his white shirt underneath.
When he saw Yu Huaizhang, he smiled and waved: "You are finally here. I thought you, such a busy man, would postpone this meal again."
Yu Huaizhang took off his black coat and handed it to the waiter, revealing a well-tailored dark gray suit underneath.
The mother-of-pearl buttons on the cuffs shimmered delicately in the light.
He sat down opposite Lu Zhuoyuan, picked up the menu and flipped through two pages, his tone a little helpless: "It's really my fault for dragging it on until now. You guys took the blame for what happened last time, and I owe you a formal apology."
When talking about the last time he borrowed a car, Lu Zhuoyuan didn't care much.
He picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, the white air he exhaled swirling around the rim of the cup: "Hey, that thing is over, nothing really happened, I was just a little scared at the time.
Besides, I was the one who wanted to borrow the car, it has nothing to do with you, and who knew your enemy was so crazy."
If it weren’t for Sister Zhi, they would both have died there.
Lu Zhuoyuan: "If you really feel bad, then treat my sister Zhi well."
Yu Huaizhang paused on the menu, his expression serious. "Of course. Doctor Yu has been brought into this unprovoked misfortune. I will definitely be polite this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lu Zhuoyuan shouting towards the door, his voice excited: "Sister, here, here!"
Yu Huaizhang stood up to greet her and saw a bright yet elegant face. The light brown long coat made her figure look even more slender, and her slightly curly long hair was draped over her shoulders.
She has an indescribable gentle aura that makes people feel comfortable for some reason.
Yu Huaizhang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked Lu Zhuoyuan: "Is this... Doctor Yu?"
Lu Zhuoyuan didn't notice his strangeness and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's her, a good doctor in the cardiothoracic surgery department of Heinerson. She was the one who borrowed your car with me last time."
"Brother?" Yu Zhi had already walked to the table. Seeing Yu Huaizhang in a daze, she was also surprised: "Uncle Yu's eldest grandson turned out to be you."
Yu Huaizhang finally came back to his senses, a natural smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he extended his hand to gesture for her to sit down: "It's me, Doctor Yu. I didn't expect to see you here, I'm also surprised."
Lu Zhuoyuan heard something and couldn't help but said: "Good fellow, you two know each other."
Just as Yu Huaizhang was about to explain, Yu Zhi laughed: "Not really acquaintance, I've run into him twice before."
For some reason, when Yu Huaizhang heard Yu Zhi's answer, his heart was filled with subtle waves.
The feeling was unfamiliar to him.
Not comfortable either.
He was still distracted when Yu Zhi and Lu Zhuoyuan had already gathered together to order food.
"What were you two talking about just now? I heard you say my name."
"I'm praising you. By the way, he said we don't need to be polite to him and asked us to open up a little."
"That's so embarrassing."
Lu Zhuoyuan didn't shy away from the main character: "It's okay, he's rich."
Yu Huaizhang nodded: "You're welcome, Doctor Yu."
"Then it's worth the expense, brother."
Yu Zhiming's eyes were smiling, and the warm light fell on her face, even the shadow of her eyelashes was soft.
Yu Huaizhang watched as the subtle ripples that had just occurred suddenly dissipated.
All that's left is inexplicable palpitations.
While Yu Zhi and the others were waiting for their food, Xiao Shui suddenly spoke up: "Master Host, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Yu Zhi said "hmm" in her heart and signaled it to speak.
[That's right, I suspect Yu Huaizhang is interested in you.]
She had just drunk the warm water and before she could swallow it, she started coughing and her cheeks turned red.
Yu Huaizhang on the opposite side reacted very quickly and immediately took out two tissues and handed them over.
"Are you okay?"
Yu Zhi looked up and met his worried eyes. His eyes were frank and sincere, which made her feel a little helpless.
She was a little hesitant to answer it.
I asked Xiaoshui again in my heart: "Are you sure?"
[Believe me. When he heard you say, "Not really acquaintance," he was so disappointed I thought he was the second male lead in some melodrama.]
In fact, Xiaoshui was exaggerating. It was just because it was a world system and had data on its side, so it was more sensitive to this aspect.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Lu Zhuoyuan took the paper from Yu Huaizhang and stuffed it into Yu Zhi's hand: "Sister, what are you staring at? If you don't wipe it, your collar will get wet."
"Thank you." Yu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and wiped it roughly with a tissue.
Yu Zhi was in a complicated mood, but Xiaoshui didn't care about her life or death at all.
[My heart is beating fast. I can’t avoid your terrible gaze. My heart is beating so fast for you that I feel like I’m going to have a fever~]
Yu Zhi muted the microphone without hesitation.
The world was quiet, but Yu Zhi was lost in thought.
Lu Zhuoyuan next to her was still suggesting: "It will be too early after the show ends. Why don't we go to a nearby club? I'll treat you."
Yu Huaizhang had no objection, but his eyes fell on Yu Zhi: "Okay."
Yu Zhi drank a mouthful of soup and replied naturally: "I won't go. My husband is still waiting at home. I have to go back early to accompany him."
Yu Huaizhang, who was sitting opposite, was about to pick up some food when his hand obviously stopped.
Yu Zhi pretended not to see it, lowered her head and ate the meat in big bites.
Lu Zhuoyuan, who was extremely insensitive, didn't notice that the atmosphere was amiss and even joked: "Hey, sister, your husband is not the type of little spoiled child, is he? He's so clingy."
Yu Zhi raised her chin and said half-jokingly, "I can't help it. My charm is just like that. If he doesn't stick to me, who else will he stick to?"
"Hahahaha, that's true, Sister Zhi is extremely charming!" Lu Zhuoyuan laughed so hard that he slammed the table, completely unaware of the sadness that flashed across Yu Huaizhang's eyes.
Yu Huaizhang's distraction was only brief. He regained his composure and started chatting with the two of them with a smile.
"Dr. Yu is young and outstanding, so it's only natural that his partner cares so much about him."
The atmosphere became lively again.
The moment of freezing just now seemed like an illusion.
Only then did Yu Zhi relax.
The harmonious laughter wrapped in warm light floated out of the glass window and fell into the shadows of the trees across the street.
Pei Yuezhou just stood there.
He had a slender and upright figure, and his profile was as delicate as a meticulous painting under the streetlight. Even the snowflakes falling on the ends of his hair looked like diamonds carefully embellished for him.
But there was a hint of gloom between those outstandingly beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
He looked at the three people in the glass window, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by countless needles. The dense pain was wrapped in surging jealousy.
Why is her world always so crowded?
Isn't it good that he's alone?
Pei Yuezhou's breathing gradually became rapid, and his eyes seemed to be glued to Yu Zhi, unable to move away at all.
He saw Yu Huaizhang say something again, and Yu Zhi smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
At that moment, the darkness in my heart grew wildly like vines, entangled with my reason.
The thought of rushing in and taking her away grew wildly, echoing in his ears like a spell.
"Boss Pei." Special Assistant Xu came over at some point, gently holding a black umbrella over his head, and said casually, "It's cold on a snowy night. You've been standing here for too long. If you get sick from the cold, your wife will be distressed if she finds out."
He paused, and the madness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deeper gloom.
He turned his head and looked straight at Assistant Xu. His eyes were as cold as ice on a winter night, which made Assistant Xu tense up.
The light from the street lamp fell on the two people, stretching their shadows very long and casting a dark outline on the snow.
Special Assistant Xu maintained a faint smile and added, "Mr. Pei, why don't you go home and wait? My wife knows you don't have any plans this afternoon. I'm sure she'll be home to be with you as soon as she finishes her socializing."
Pei Yuezhou was silent for a few seconds, with a strange dark light in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Then he said "hmm" softly and turned to walk towards the parking lot.
The snowflakes fell on his coat without making any sound, but the possessiveness revealed in his back was colder than the wind on this winter night.
Assistant Xu followed behind, looked at his back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, it seems that I can keep my leave if I submit the note.
