Song Xiaoxiao: "Yes, this place is close to my company."
After saying that, Song Xiaoxiao tugged on the dog leash. "Pharaoh, we're leaving."
The dog immediately retreated, squatted down next to Song Xiaoxiao, and followed her away.
Zhou Fu's two friends were still rambling on and on.
"This dog is so well-behaved. Maybe I should get one too?"
Zhou Fu followed their gaze.
But what Zhou Fu was looking at was not a dog.
-
From that day on, Song Xiaoxiao would often unexpectedly run into Zhou Fu near her home.
Song Xiaoxiao stopped saying it was a coincidence.
She said, "Dr. Zhou, why didn't you come yesterday?"
It was drizzling outside.
Song Xiaoxiao stood under the eaves, looking at Zhou Fu who had suddenly appeared.
Zhou Fu lowered his eyes. "Something came up yesterday."
Song Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care at all. "This noodle shop is delicious. I recommend you come here next time."
Zhou Fu: "And today?"
"Of course I can today, but I've already eaten, so I won't keep you company."
Song Xiaoxiao said again, "I'm leaving."
Zhou Fu looked at the umbrella in her hand, then glanced at the rain outside.
Zhou Fu pursed his lips. "I didn't bring an umbrella."
Song Xiaoxiao: "Then what's that in your hand?"
Zhou Fu: "Oh no."
Really?
Zhou Fu looked into Song Xiaoxiao's bright eyes, hummed in agreement, and placed the umbrella on the table by the door. "It's no longer needed."
Song Xiaoxiao: "Where are you going? I can take you."
Zhou Fu: "I didn't eat dinner."
Song Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Zhou Fu, then remained silent.
Zhou Fu took a deep breath. "Have a meal with me."
Song Xiaoxiao raised her hand and stretched it inside. "Dr. Zhou, please."
When the boss saw Song Xiaoxiao come in again and noticed the person behind her, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, is this your boyfriend?"
Song Xiaoxiao shook her head and said with a smile, "No, it's a friend."
Boss Zhou Fuchao nodded.
The noodle shop has two storefronts.
It's past 8 p.m., and the place is almost full; business seems pretty good.
Zhou Fu: "Are you very familiar with the boss?"
Song Xiaoxiao: "I've brought some colleagues and friends here to eat before."
Zhou Fu: "Is your foot still uncomfortable?"
Song Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Dr. Zhou, do you remember every patient so clearly?"
Zhou Fu paused in wiping the table. "No."
"Oh, I see."
Two seconds later, Zhou Fu continued wiping the table.
Song Xiaoxiao asked again, "Is it because my situation is special?"
Zhou Fu suddenly looked up and stared at Song Xiaoxiao.
Song Xiaoxiao blinked.
Zhou Fu said, "Because your name is very special."
Song Xiaoxiao: "..."
Zhou Fu then asked, "So you have a very deep memory of every doctor?"
Song Xiaoxiao: "This is the first time in my memory that I have been forced to go to the hospital, apart from a physical examination."
Of course, except for the time she went to the hospital to see Zhuang Pinghua poking his lung tube.
After a pause, Song Xiaoxiao added, "That's why I remember it so clearly."
Song Xiaoxiao was not about to be outdone.
Just then, the owner brought over the beef noodles, interrupting their conversation.
Song Xiaoxiao rested her chin on one hand and said, "Why don't you try it?"
As Song Xiaoxiao said, the taste was indeed quite good.
Zhou Fu ate in a refined manner, even when eating noodles, he didn't splatter a single drop of oil.
Zhou Fu: "I heard from your colleague last time that you studied abroad before?"
Last time?
Song Xiaoxiao's mind worked quickly. "You asked Gao Ling about me?"
Zhou Fu: "...No, she just asked me if I had studied abroad before, saying that I had also studied abroad before."
They continued talking about this topic until Zhou Fu finished eating his noodles.
The two left the noodle shop; the rain had stopped.
The boss's voice came from behind.
"Hey? Whose umbrella is this? It's perfectly fine, why did you just throw it away?"
Song Xiaoxiao deliberately asked, "Are you talking about your umbrella?"
Zhou Fu: "It shouldn't be, let's not worry about it."
Song Xiaoxiao's smile grew wider and wider.
Zhou Fu just looked at her, a smile appearing on his face.
For the next two weeks, Song Xiaoxiao was able to see Zhou Fu eight or nine days out of every ten days. When they occasionally bumped into each other, they would have a meal together or take a walk with their dog.
Song Xiaoxiao talked about things at the company, and Zhou Fu talked about his family matters; neither of them dared to bring up the topic at hand.
Gradually, Zhou Fu began to get used to Song Xiaoxiao's subtle teasing. Rather than teasing, it was more like Song Xiaoxiao was teasing him unilaterally. When Zhou Fu did the same to Song Xiaoxiao, she would not respond, humming twice and ignoring him.
Song Xiaoxiao refused to be at a disadvantage, so Zhou Fu was happy to let her see his shy side.
To Zhou Fu, Song Xiaoxiao was nothing but a paper tiger.
