Chapter 536 Deliberate Indifference



Early in the morning, Huang Lei finished washing up, dressed up carefully, and came to Zheng Xinyi's door with a lunch box.

Zheng Xinyi was just about to go to the cafeteria to prepare breakfast. When she saw Huang Lei, she smiled calmly and said, "Doctor Huang, so early? Are you here to see Doctor Zhao? I guess she should be out soon."

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Xinyi was about to leave with her lunch box when Huang Lei suddenly said, "Xinyi, I'm not here to see Doctor Zhao, I'm here to see you."

Zheng Xinyi pretended to be dumb and asked with a puzzled look: "You're here so early, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This question made Huang Lei feel a little embarrassed, and he held the lunch box tightly in his hand.

Just then, Zhao Yuenan pushed the door open and interrupted the awkward situation between them.

"Doctor Zhao, I was just about to ask you to have breakfast together!" Zheng Xinyi greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Yuenan glanced at Huang Lei standing nearby and asked, "Doctor Huang, are you here to have breakfast with Doctor Zheng?"

Zheng Xinyi turned her gaze to Huang Lei.

Huang Lei habitually reached out and touched the back of his head, nodding slightly with some embarrassment.

Since Huang Lei wanted to have breakfast with Dr. Zheng, Zhao Yuenan wanted to refuse Xinyi, but Zheng Xinyi didn't give her a chance to speak. She pulled her arm and said, "Then let's go together! We can go to the hospital together after breakfast."

Zhao Yuenan glanced at Huang Lei embarrassedly, and was forcibly pulled away by Zheng Xinyi. Along the way, Zheng Xinyi kept chatting with Zhao Yuenan, completely disregarding Huang Lei's feelings.

Huang Lei just followed behind them, unable to get a word in about the conversation between the girls. He inexplicably felt left out.

The army cafeteria is now full of people. Everyone lines up in an orderly manner to get food, eats quietly and leaves quickly. They are short on time and have no time to stay any longer, and no one notices Huang Lei's unnaturalness.

At the dinner table, Zheng Xinyi continued to eat while chatting with Zhao Yuenan about new topics.

Zhao Yuenan just responded with "hmm" and "ah" sounds perfunctorily, and occasionally glanced at Huang Lei who was eating silently.

"Hey! Huang Lei, what are your plans for your marriage with Dr. Zhao? I'm still looking forward to attending your wedding! I guess my godfather and Uncle Huang can't wait any longer. If you can get married as soon as possible, it will relieve the worries of the elders on both sides." Zheng Xinyi deliberately led the topic to them.

Huang Lei and Zhao Yuenan exchanged glances. Huang Lei couldn't swallow his food. He didn't understand what Zheng Xinyi meant. Hadn't he already discussed Zhao Yuenan with her a few days ago? Was it because he hadn't explained it clearly enough? Did she still not understand his feelings?

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhao Yuenan responded in a low voice.

"Yuenan, is godfather in good health? I haven't communicated with him for a long time." Zheng Xinyi asked in a concerned tone.

Zhao Yuenan nodded slightly and said, "Well, Dad is in good health, but he misses us very much. In his last letter, he mentioned you and said that the army is not busy anymore, so he asked me to take you back to see him."

"I miss my godfather too. Please tell him for me that when the army is no longer busy, I will go to Beijing with you to see him." Zheng Xinyi said from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, I'll be there in a while." Zhao Yuenan nodded slightly.
