Chapter 29 Apology

Chi Dong stood aside, waiting silently, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Bu Qianli frowned slightly, turned his head and whispered to Chi Dong, "Do you want to forgive them?" After all, the victim in this incident was Chi Dong, not him.

Chi Dong was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "They are not primarily responsible, and I am not injured, so let it go."

After hearing what he said, Bu Qianli stopped pursuing the matter and said coldly with a stern face: "Since he has forgiven you, I will not pursue it anymore. As for these two cards..."

Bu Qianli stepped forward and took one of the cards, "I'll take this card for him, you take the other one." He turned around and handed the card to Chi Dong behind him.

Chi Dong looked at the card hesitantly, not really wanting to accept it, but under Bu Qianli's unquestionable gaze, he still took the card and said, "Thank you, then... I'll take it."

The manager then instructed the staff to serve the dishes ordered by the private room one by one. When he learned that the guests did not need to stay, he took everyone and left.

When Chi Dong and Bu Qianli returned to their seats, a young man sitting next to Professor Zhang looked at Bu Qianli in a teasing manner, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Bu would actually be a hero. This is really rare! I thought that a cold and noble man like you would turn a blind eye to these things."

Bu Qianli, who was teased by his senior brother, casually picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Chi Dong, who had been keeping his head down and dared not speak, and said casually: "Why, senior brother also wants to be a hero? It seems that the wish of the master's wife to hold a grandson will soon come true."

Zhang Ting stared at him in horror, shaking his head. "Don't tell my mom. She nags me every day at home. I finally have the chance to go out with my dad to meet you guys. If you say something nonsense in front of her, she will definitely take me on a blind date."

Professor Zhang, who was sitting next to him, was actually happy to see his son go on a blind date. He wanted to have grandchildren now that he was older. He smiled kindly and said, "Your wife has been missing you lately and has been nagging me about why you haven't visited her yet."

Bu Qianli nodded and smiled faintly, "Mrs. Lao is worried about you. I will go visit you after I finish my work in the next two days."

"Okay, then I will go back and tell your wife the good news and make her very happy." Professor Zhang was very happy to hear this, and the smile on the corners of his mouth could not stop rising. Then he suddenly remembered Chi Dong who was sitting opposite him, and asked.

"Oh, by the way, what's this classmate's name? We don't know your name yet."

Chi Dong quickly responded: "My name is Chi Dong, and I'm a student at Z University next door."

Professor Zhang thought he was a student from Peking University, but unexpectedly he was from Z University next door. Although the two schools are not far apart, it is rare for students from Z University to come to their school for no reason.

"Mr. Z, did you come to this restaurant specifically to eat?"

Chi Dong looked at the people around him in panic, and said in a low voice, "I... came here to attend a lecture."

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to the person who was sitting there steadily, and Zhang Ting, who had been choked just now, now shouted at the top of his voice.

"You're not here to listen to Bu Qianli's lecture, are you? No way?"

Perhaps it was because Zhang Ting's voice was a little loud, Chi Dong was shocked, his eyes dodged, and he continued to speak with a stiff upper lip: "...Yes, yes, my teacher gave me an invitation letter, so I came to listen."

Zhang Ting opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Bu Qianli, "Teacher, Senior Brother, the food is getting cold, let's eat first."

Knowing that his junior fellow apprentice was a man of his word, Zhang Ting did not get angry. He touched his nose, grinned, glanced at someone who looked nonchalant, and finally looked at Chi Dong a few more times.

Chi Dong felt very uncomfortable with his fixed gaze and didn't know which dish to pick up. Bu Qianli who was standing by naturally noticed Zhang Ting's action.

Under his cold gaze, Zhang Tingcai shrugged his shoulders, restrained his expression, turned the table with a playful smile, and said to Chi Dong shamelessly, "Student Chi, this crispy pigeon is the signature dish of this restaurant, you should try it."

Chi Dong does not like eating baby pigeons. He even hates eating them. When he was a child, he raised a few white pigeons. Although the pigeons later flew away, he never orders this dish when he eats.

Chi Dong looked hesitant, and Zhang Ting thought he was shy, so he stood up and put half a piece of meat into his bowl, then smiled and asked him to eat more.

At this time, Chidong was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether to eat or not. Looking at the half pigeon in the bowl, his face turned pale and he suddenly felt nauseous.

Bu Qianli, who was sitting next to him, noticed his reaction carefully, frowned slightly, made a guess in his mind, and in full view of everyone, he picked up the chopsticks and put the half of the pigeon in his bowl into his own bowl.

Zhang Ting looked at him in astonishment, his tone was a little puzzled, "Junior brother, if you want to eat, you can take some of the food on the table. Aren't there more?"

Chi Dong on the side had been sitting in a daze, staring at him with watery eyes. At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure seemed to flash through his mind.

Bu Qianli picked up the food and took a sip. A trace of leisure appeared between his brows. Then he put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes leisurely, leaned back, and said in a calm voice: "He doesn't like to eat pigeons. Change to something else."

This time, not only Zhang Ting was surprised, but everyone else also looked at him in surprise, as if they saw him for the first time.

Zhang Ting was dumbfounded and said, "How do you know that he doesn't eat pigeons? Didn't you two just get to know each other today? Could it be that..."

Hearing this, Chi Dong came to his senses and shook his head quickly, denying, "No... he doesn't know me."

Zhang Ting raised his eyebrows. "Does that mean you know him?"

“…”

Chi Dong didn't say anything. He lowered his head and clenched his hands nervously, with an uneasy look on his face. He wanted to refute, but he did know him, and it was a one-sided acquaintance for three years.

When people saw this, they began to understand a little bit.

In fact, not only the others were surprised, Bu Qianli also looked at the person next to him in surprise, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Chidong, this name reminded him of a younger brother he met when he was a child - Xiaodong. Now he only remembers Xiaodong and the last blooming fireworks. As for the rest, time has passed so long that he has forgotten it.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too awkward, so Professor Zhang and others came out with a smile to smooth things over.

"So you're a fan of Chisato, that's even better. It's not easy to meet each other. The food is getting cold, everyone, hurry up and eat."

Others echoed, "Yeah, let's eat."

Zhang Ting also laughed and said, "Eat, eat it all, eat more."

At this time, a deep and attractive voice came from Chidong's ear with a hearing aid, "Well, eat quickly."
