According to Chen Feng's calculations, Li Xiaogang will be able to bring his mother to the ancient city around noon.
Originally, Chen Feng planned to drive to the bus station after lunch to pick up Li Xiaogang's mother, take her to the hospital for a check-up, and do whatever he could to help.
But Chen Feng became extremely engrossed when talking about serious matters.
Before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
It wasn't until Du Lei got up to leave that Chen Feng realized he had missed the time to pick him up.
"Hey, Lao Li..."
Chen Feng dialed Li Xiaogang's number, "Where are you and your aunt?"
"We're at Xijing Hospital."
Li Xiaogang replied, "My mother's hospitalization procedures have been completed. The attending physician said that my mother will undergo a comprehensive examination tomorrow, and then a specific treatment plan will be determined."
Hearing this, Chen Feng felt even more guilty.
My good friend's mother came to the ancient city for medical treatment, but while everyone else had already completed their hospital admission procedures, he was still sitting at home...
What kind of nonsense is this?
"Old Li, I'm really sorry..."
Chen Feng said remorsefully, "It's my fault. I got so busy that I forgot the time. Tell me Auntie's room number and I'll come over right away."
"Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Li Xiaogang laughed and said, "It's just hospitalization procedures. I can handle it myself. You don't need to come here. I'll let you know if I need your help."
"By the way... do you have time later?"
"I'd like to have a meal with you."
Chen Feng was taken aback, thinking to himself, "It's just a meal, why is Li Xiaogang so hesitant?"
"Why not? You wait at the hospital, I'll pick you and Auntie up, and we'll go to Yushan Zhenxianfang for a nice meal tonight."
Despite being an orphan, Chen Feng's manners surpass those of most of his peers who have both parents.
His good friend's mother came to the ancient city, and he had to treat her to a meal to express his gratitude.
"Chen Feng..."
"What's wrong now?"
"Um... I'm not bringing my mom to dinner tonight, it'll just be you and me, and... and Gao Mei senior."
Li Xiaogang explained, "Tomorrow is Gao Mei's birthday, but I have to accompany my mother to the hospital for a check-up and can't have dinner with her. So, I discussed it with her and we decided to celebrate her birthday early tonight."
"Oh, then you and Gao Mei can eat."
Chen Feng pursed his lips, "I'm going to the hospital to keep Auntie company."
"Senior Gao Mei specifically asked you to come; she said it would be more lively with more people."
Li Xiaogang pleaded, "Old Chen, please come, just to give me face, okay?"
"Why!"
Chen Feng sighed, "Send me the address, and I'll go there directly."
Normally, even if Li Xiaogang argued endlessly, Chen Feng wouldn't go to celebrate Gao Mei's birthday early, that green tea bitch.
He's not like Li Xiaogang; he's never lost his mind.
But today, Chen Feng feels guilty towards Li Xiaogang.
A meal won't take long, and it's not too late to visit Li Xiaogang's mother at Xijing Hospital after dinner.
"Perhaps, this is the destructive power of the 'white moonlight'?"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng sighed, "Even though he knew there wouldn't be a good outcome with her, he still couldn't convince his 18-year-old self to let go."
It's understandable that Li Xiaogang couldn't see Gao Mei's true colors at first glance;
After all that has happened, and with Chen Feng's "personal instructions," if Li Xiaogang still doesn't have a relatively clear understanding of Gao Mei...
Then Li Xiaogang would be a fool!
But so what?
This was the first time he had encountered that mountain, so naturally he wouldn't listen to well-intentioned advice.
...
In the evening, at the Cool Spicy Hot Pot restaurant, Li Xiaogang and Gao Mei sat side by side.
Why isn't Chen Feng here yet?
Gao Mei said impatiently, "We agreed to eat at six o'clock, and it's already six-fifteen!"
"Something must have been holding him up."
Li Xiaogang quickly smiled and defended his good friend, saying, "You don't understand, he's a workaholic who often forgets the time because of work."
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
Gao Mei glanced at Li Xiaogang and said, "When he arrives, don't forget the important business."
"What important matter is it?"
"Of course, it's about borrowing money!"
Gao Mei's voice rose considerably, and coupled with her prominent cheekbones and thin lips, she looked like a resentful woman confined to her chambers.
“He’s a wealthy man with a fortune, but you can’t even come up with four thousand dollars. As your good brother, he has an obligation to lend a helping hand!”
Li Xiaogang's smile froze on his face. "Senior Gao Mei, didn't I already tell you about this? Old Chen is my good brother, not my father. Why would he have an obligation to help me? Besides, why would I ask him for money out of the blue?"
"If I don't borrow money from him, how will you buy me a Motorola V8?"
Gao Mei questioned, "Tomorrow is my birthday, are you really not going to give me any gift?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao was taken aback. "But didn't you say before that you didn't want any gifts, you just wanted me to have a meal with you?"
"Forehead……"
Gao Mei was taken aback. Clearly, she realized her own contradictions, but who was she? A seasoned green tea b*tch.
After only a moment of embarrassment, her expression returned to normal, and she even became more arrogant.
"I don't care! If you don't buy me the Motorola V8, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Li Xiaogang was stunned when Gao Mei said that.
Big eyes, full of questions.
Openly asking for gifts?
Moreover, what they want is the latest model phone that costs four thousand yuan?
Is the person in front of me still the "pure and flawless" white moonlight in my heart?
"Oh dear, I'm not that kind of materialistic girl."
Seemingly sensing Li Xiaogang's disbelief, Gao Mei put on a smile and said, "What I want is not the phone, but your attitude towards me."
"Isn't saving face very important to you guys?"
"I just want to see if you'll throw away your so-called pride to fulfill my wish!"
Li Xiaogang frowned slightly. Gao Mei's words made sense at first glance, but he always felt that something was not quite right.
Before Li Xiaogang could figure it out, Gao Mei, who knew the psychology of innocent boys well, grabbed Li Xiaogang's arm.
"If you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll talk to Chen Feng for you. You just need to stay silent."
Sure enough, as he felt the warmth emanating from his arm, Li Xiaogang's brain stopped working.
"Well... if I buy you a phone, can you go to the hospital to visit my mom? She'll be so happy to know I have a girlfriend like you."
Upon hearing this, Gao Mei immediately released her hands and moved her body a few times to the other side.
She seemed afraid of being entangled with Li Xiaogang.
What is that?
Going to the hospital to visit his mother?
He also wants his mother to know that he has a girlfriend like himself.
What kind of dream is Li Xiaogang having!
