Shen Mo's heart sank suddenly. She bit her lip, turned around quietly, and walked back with a sense of loss. The excitement and joy of visiting the factory before were diluted a lot by this unexpected scene.
My mind was in a mess. Sometimes I told myself that I should trust Qingyang, but sometimes I couldn't help but think about the relationship between that beautiful woman and Qingyang.
She walked absentmindedly back to the workshop and sat by the flower bed waiting for Bao Xiangxiang to get off work, but her mood was no longer as bright as before.
When Bao Xiangxiang came out from get off work, she saw Shen Mo sitting by the flower bed with her head drooping, obviously in a bad mood.
She walked over quickly and asked with concern, "Xiaomo, what's wrong? Are you bored waiting? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Shen Mo raised her head and forced a smile: "No, not comfortable, Sister Xiangxiang, are you off work?"
Bao Xiangxiang sat down next to her and took a closer look at her face. Her intuition told her that something must be wrong: "You're lying. You look so happy. Tell me, what's wrong?"
Shen Mo hesitated for a moment, feeling really uncomfortable with something in her heart. In the end, she whispered what she had just seen and her own random thoughts. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes became red.
"...Sister Xiangxiang, I know I'm just overthinking it. Qingyang must be talking about work. It's that lesbian... She's really pretty, stylishly dressed, and seems to know Qingyang very well...
Besides, Qingyang is becoming more and more capable and knows more and more people. I seem to be just a student, helping him with everything, and always feeling stressed out by school..."
After hearing this, Bao Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and patted Shen Mo's shoulder vigorously:
"Oh my silly sister! I thought it was such a big deal! Turns out it's all about this!"
She put her arm around Shen Mo's shoulders and said in a firm tone:
"Xiao Mo, listen to me, you're just scaring yourself! Others know what kind of person Lu Qingyang is, but do we know? Besides you and the things going on at the factory, who else can he care about?"
"Yes..." Shen Mo wanted to say something.
"Nothing, really!" Bao Xiangxiang interrupted her, "You haven't seen the way Director Lu looks when he mentions you! Every time he gets a letter from you, he's always beaming, and every three sentences he says to us are like 'Xiaomo, you've worked hard studying' or 'Xiaomo, you've made progress again.'
There are no young girls in our factory. Who is Director Lu polite to and only talks about work?
Not a word more! He's a very decent man, not the type to mess around with other women at all!"
She paused, her tone becoming more serious: "Besides, you are now a serious college student, learning the skills of saving lives and healing the wounded, and you will be a doctor in the future.
Can this future be compared with those that can be achieved by wearing some beautiful clothes and applying some lotion?
Director Lu values you because you have ambition and brains. He is not the kind of person who only looks at appearance.
You, just because you read too many books, tend to think too much!"
Bao Xiangxiang took Shen Mo's hand and said, "Come on, don't think about it here. If you have any questions, just go and ask Director Lu! Between two people, guessing is the worst thing."
If he's really talking about serious matters, are you suffering for nothing? If he dares... humph, I'll be the first one to agree!"
Although she believed in Lu Qingyang very much in her heart.
After Bao Xiangxiang's straightforward and trusting persuasion, the haze in Shen Mo's heart dissipated for the most part, and she felt a little more smiling and confident than before.
She took a deep breath and nodded: "Well, Sister Xiangxiang, you are right, I shouldn't have imagined it, I should have asked him directly."
Bao Xiangxiang smiled. "That's right. Come on, I'll go with you to find him. We can also see which 'celestial being' has outshined our Xiaomo. If you were your old self, you would have gone up to him and asked him if you encountered something like this. Why would you hesitate for so long?"
She deliberately joked, making Shen Mo laugh out loud.
With the support and guidance of her friends, Shen Mo felt much more relaxed.
She decided not to dwell on it anymore, but to face it frankly and ask for clarification as Sister Xiangxiang had said.
Bao Xiangxiang was right. She hadn't considered so much before. Usually her body reacted faster than her brain, so she would have rushed forward long ago. But now she had many more concerns.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qingyang was so outstanding. After she went to the capital, she saw and heard more, and she was not so impulsive in doing things. She always liked to think twice before acting.
Shen Mo was encouraged by Bao Xiangxiang, and the little discomfort in her heart turned into courage.
She took a deep breath and walked towards the factory office building.
Just as she reached the front of the building, she happened to meet Lu Qingyang coming out, who seemed to be going to look for her.
"Xiao Mo? I was just about to go look for you in the workshop. Xiangxiang, are you off work? What do you want to eat tonight?"
Lu Qingyang came up to her with a smile and naturally wanted to hold her hand.
However, Shen Mo slightly turned sideways, avoiding his hand, looking away, her tone a little hard.
"Yeah, I'm off work. Eat whatever you want."
Lu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, and keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood. Looking at her carefully, he saw that the little girl's lips were tightly pursed, and there seemed to be a little blush at the corners of her eyes. It was clear that she was aggrieved or sulking.
"What's going on?"
He immediately became nervous and bent down to look at her closely. "Who made you unhappy? What happened at the factory?"
Shen Mo raised her eyes and glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head again, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and said in a muffled voice: "No one is provoking me...it's just...I just saw you talking to a female comrade over there, and you were talking quite...in a flirtatious way."
She didn't have the courage to say directly "you were laughing happily" or "you were quite intimate", but the sour smell of jealousy had already spread.
Lu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly felt soft and funny.
He suppressed his laughter and deliberately drew out his voice: "Oh - so it's about this? Let me think, just now... I think I talked to a lesbian for a while."
His attitude made Shen Mo even more angry. She raised her head suddenly, her eyes reddened.
"You! You're still laughing! She...she's really pretty? She's dressed beautifully, and has curly hair!"
Lu Qingyang finally managed to hold back his laughter and reached out to gently pinch her cheek:
"Silly, silly? Are you jealous already? My Xiaomo is dissatisfied with the fact that I only see my work and not you?"
"Who's jealous!" Shen Mo's face flushed, and she refuted stubbornly, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Okay, okay, I'm not jealous." Lu Qingyang followed suit, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
"That woman is a technician sent by the District Light Industry Bureau. Her surname is Qin. She came to understand the condition of our factory's equipment and production progress. It's considered an inspection by a higher-level unit. She's a technical cadre, and she wanted to discuss serious matters with me."
He paused, then leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "But no matter how good-looking a technician is, in my eyes, he's not a hair's breadth better than my Dr. Shen in a white coat. The very thought of my Xiaomo in a white coat makes me want to turn my eyes away."
Shen Mo's face suddenly turned red, even the tips of her ears were dyed pink, and the grievance and jealousy she had just felt disappeared in an instant, leaving only embarrassment.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" She was so embarrassed that she hit him lightly, "Who wants to wear it for you to see?"
"Okay, okay, wear it for me, for my patients. Let's go, Doctor Shen. You've been busy all day, will you please accompany me to dinner? I promise I'll just squint and look at you alone."
