When the car started, the candy in Chen Yao's mouth had been eaten up, and her face was still flushed with heat that had not yet dissipated.
Looking at Pei Shuo again, he had a faint smile on his lips, his slender fingertips resting comfortably on the steering wheel, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
He maintained this good mood, and after seeing Zhou Xiuran, he was caught off guard by a comment: "You are so proud, Doctor Pei."
Pei Shuo just smiled, then handed him the iPad for ordering food: "Now that you're here, take a seat. What would you like to eat?"
Chen Yao had already finished her main course. Pei Shuo had just had most of the food removed, leaving only the dessert. So she was now digging into the food spoonfully, explaining to Zhou Xiuran, "Uncle, I didn't eat much on the way back. I'm so hungry, so I ate a little first."
Zhou Xiuran nodded, ordered some dishes casually, and asked her if she wanted anything else.
Chen Yao shook her head. "No, I've almost finished eating. Xiaoyin will be here to pick me up later. I won't get involved in what you want to talk about."
Pei Shuo raised his eyes, took her hand under the table, and said softly, "Didn't you say I'd take you home later? Why did you suddenly ask Xiaoyin to pick you up?"
Chen Yao scooped a spoonful of dessert into his mouth and said with a smile, "Catch it on the way."
Pei Shuo ate the snack she had fed him and asked, "Is she on her way here?"
Chen Yao nodded.
Zhou Xiuran, standing by, couldn't stand their intimate interaction any longer. He felt a pang of pain in his teeth, and said with a "tsk," "That's enough. I'm the elder after all. You two should be mindful of the impact."
Chen Yao expressed her confusion: "We didn't do anything? We just exchanged a few words."
Zhou Xiuran: ...
Pei Shuo squeezed her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. My uncle is old, so we won't provoke him."
Zhou Xiuran again: ...
Okay, then he'll change the subject himself.
So, he began to chat with Pei Shuo about the topic of emerging medical technology.
Pei Shuo was quite interested in this and started searching for information while chatting.
Chen Yao saw that they were chatting quite well, so after finishing her snacks, she sat quietly aside and played a small game on her phone to relax, stopping from time to time to respond to their words or two, but did not participate all the time.
About twenty minutes later, Xiaoyin arrived here.
Just at this time, the dishes in the private room were served one after another.
Pei Shuo asked Zhou Xiuran, who had stood up with him, to sit inside and wait while he sent Chen Yao out.
Zhou Xiuran thought about it and sat down.
When they left, he looked up at their backs as they walked away hand in hand, and he actually began to like them.
It seems...it matches well?
Pei Shuo took Chen Yao through the winding corridors with ancient-style designs and asked her if she liked the taste of this private restaurant's dishes.
Chen Yao savored the dish for a moment, "The last few dim sum dishes were quite good, especially the Longjing pastry, which had a very fresh and unique flavor. And the plum sauce short ribs in the main course, I think they were even better than the ones my chef at home makes."
Pei Shuo: "Well, I'll pack a few more and bring them to your house."
Thinking that he and Zhou Xiuran would have to move to another place after dinner, Chen Yao waved his hand and said, "No, that's too much trouble. You don't know how long you'll chat tonight. Just go home and rest after you're done."
Pei Shuo smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's on the way."
Chen Yao choked. He was using her explanation that Xiaoyin came to pick her up on the way.
There was a threshold right in front of her. Pei Shuo supported her and reminded her, "Be careful."
Chen Yao stepped over and whispered, "By the time you sent me home, I'd already fallen asleep..."
Pei Shuo heard this, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you asleep so early? Can't you open the door and let me in for a drink of water before leaving? Just like last time..."
In public, Chen Yao blushed quickly, coughed lightly and interrupted him: "Let's talk about it later."
