Chapter 415: An unexpected surprise at the dinner party
"I'm done. Be careful when you go in. There's water."
"I'm not going in. Qu Feng made some midnight snacks. Do you want to drink?"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Originally, Qu Feng just wanted to make some simple midnight snacks, but he ended up preparing a whole table of snacks.
While Qi Mingjing was not here yet, Ran Qingxuan bought a serving of spicy chicken, some semi-fried chicken and crispy pork from the mall. When he was heating the oil in a wok, Chang Fang pushed the somewhat embarrassed Qi Mingjing over.
"I'm sorry to call you here so late."
"It's okay. I just took a nap and I'm not sleepy now."
After seeing clearly that there was a strange man in the room, Qi Mingjing subconsciously pulled the blanket covering his stomach, his eyes became evasive, and finally he lowered his eyes and dared not look up.
Qu Feng was concentrating on opening his glass. Upon seeing this, he immediately put down the bottle in his hand and went forward to greet him.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Xuan's elder brother Qu Feng."
Qi Mingjing didn't expect Qu Feng to take the initiative to greet him. He looked up at the man who smiled kindly at him, and instantly realized that he, Ran Qingxuan and Chang Fang were the same kind of people.
"Hello, Brother Qu, my name is..."
"Your name is Qi Mingjing. Ah Xuan has mentioned you to me."
"?" Seeing Qi Mingjing's puzzled expression, Qu Feng and Chang Fang pushed him to the dining table and said casually.
"I'm the one who will be operating on you with them."
Qi Mingjing's heart skipped a beat and he became visibly excited.
"It's too late today. I will check your pulse as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning. Don't worry. We are here. Just relax for the next few days."
"well..."
For the first time, Qi Mingjing felt that the hope of life was right before his eyes, and he was so excited that even his fingers were shaking.
Chang Fang was already hungry as she looked at the table full of dishes. After noticing Qi Mingjing's situation, she stood up and poured him a glass of water.
"You must be hungry too. I brought you here not only to tell you the good news, but also to give you some midnight snack. I guess you've been hungry for a long time, right?"
"Fortunately, I have not eaten much over the years, and I have to drink tonic medicine every once in a while, otherwise I will feel unwell."
Ran Qingxuan put the plate in his hand on the table, thinking that he couldn't get much nutrition from the food, and the tonic medicine was exactly what the insect liked.
"You can eat less of the midnight snack on the table. I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
They were all doctors, so they naturally knew what he could eat and what he couldn't eat according to his physical condition. Chang Fang was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable if he suddenly ate something heavy, so she simply got up and cooked noodles for him.
"I want a bowl too."
"Give me a bowl too, and remember to fry an egg."
Ran Qingxuan and Qu Feng were not polite at all. After all, in their previous life, they would get together for a drink and discuss things related to medicine whenever they had the chance.
The harmony between them was undoubtedly shocking to Qi Mingjing. It was the first time he knew that the friendship between men and women could be so straightforward without making people feel that they had crossed the line.
"I'm convinced. I won't eat unless you mention it. I'll eat it as soon as you mention it..."
Chang Fang stamped her feet angrily. When she turned around and was about to cook noodles, she saw Gu Yanchen coming out of the bedroom and asked casually, "Do you want to eat?"
"Yes, but I don't want eggs."
"Why are you asking so many questions..." Chang Fang muttered, but she still obediently set up the pan and started frying eggs.
Ran Qingxuan was laughing so happily that he didn't notice Qu Feng's sudden change in expression.
"Mr. Qi probably can't drink alcohol, so I'll have to ask you to drink tea."
"Don't drink tea, drink water, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."
Chang Fang casually sprinkled a handful of bamboo noodles into the pot and said without turning his head.
"Well, Miss Chang is right. I can just drink water."
After Gu Yanchen sat next to Ran Qingxuan, he raised his eyes to look at Qu Feng who was sitting opposite him in a trance.
"So it's just the two of us drinking?"
"Oh... Xuan and Fangfang are drinking red wine, let's drink white."
Qu Feng stood up and walked towards the wine cabinet. Gu Yanchen looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, Qi Mingjing felt that the steaming noodles in front of him were more appetizing.
Chang Fang put some beef and vegetables on the noodles, and the noodles in the bowl, which originally had some vegetarian ingredients, suddenly became more exquisite.
“You can eat other dishes, but try not to eat too much, otherwise your stomach will be upset.”
Qi Mingjing knew that Chang Fang didn't want to give him food. He also knew his own physical condition. He gave Chang Fang a gentle smile for caring about him, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of food for her with chopsticks to show his gratitude.
"Thank you. You can eat too."
Qu Feng looked at the two of them with empty eyes, and suddenly felt that the noodles in his hand no longer tasted good.
Ran Qingxuan was closest to him. Looking at his expression and then looking at the two people who were eating with their heads down, he immediately understood why he had that expression.
"Have a piece of braised goose. Shao Nan specially left this for me. You probably haven't had it for a long time!"
“It’s been a long time since I last ate here…”
While chewing the fragrant braised goose slowly, Qu Feng missed not only the braised goose he had longed for for years, but also the person behind him whom he had not seen for many years.
"If only the ten of us could still get together like we used to..."
Gu Yanchen raised his glass and clinked it with Qu Feng's, then said to him, "Doctor Zheng who treated Kuang Ze's bone injury should be the friend you are looking for. After we settle down, Qingxuan and I will go to Yigui, maybe we can find him there."
Qu Feng and Chang Fang paused as they were picking up dishes and immediately looked at Ran Qingxuan.
"Well, I think it won't be long before we can see Zheng Borui, and there's a high chance we'll be able to see the others as well."
Qu Feng and Chang Fang both understood the meaning of this sentence, and they were visibly excited.
"That's great, it's really great, I never thought we would meet again one day."
Qi Mingjing picked up a small piece of braised goose and asked in confusion, "Madam Gu, are the other people you mentioned all your fellow disciples?"
Ran Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, but she didn't expect that it was Gu Yanchen next to her who spoke for her.
"We are just fellow disciples that we haven't seen for many years. After all, Northern Qi is so big, and for other reasons, it is difficult for us to meet."
Qi Mingjing nodded and put the goose meat into his mouth to chew and taste it.
As he was eating, he felt something was not right, so he reached out and picked up another piece after swallowing it.
Chang Fang saw this and reminded him, "Goose meat is not easy for you to digest. You can eat as much as you want when you fully recover."
"No, no, I just think the taste of this braised goose is very familiar, so I want to try it again."
"familiar?"
"Impossible?"
All three of them knew who made the braised goose. How could Qi Mingjing, a native of Northern Qi, have ever eaten it?
After looking at each other, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Mingjing.
After savoring it carefully, Qi Mingjing pointed at the remaining braised goose on the chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "I have indeed eaten it. After all, this kind of taste makes people remember it after eating it once."
