Chapter 203: Chapter 203 I’m Afraid of Dogs
Waiting for the old lady to clamor and leave this place.
The living room finally became much quieter.
At this moment, Xiao Kai immediately came over to Liu Zheng’s side, very apologetically saying.
"I’m really sorry, Uncle Liu, for making a fool of ourselves."
Liu Zheng was indeed greatly shocked when he heard this.
He had certainly thought this approach might be somewhat effective.
But he never imagined its effect could be so astonishing.
It was like suddenly transforming a person overnight.
The result was indeed too powerful.
He had not expected that in such a short period of time, Li Yanling’s painstaking efforts could be understood, realizing how hard it had been for her, and how sensible he could be.
It really wasn’t easy.
It made Liu Zheng consider promoting it.
It was just that after finally resolving such an issue, if he were to promote this method now, it might be exposed.
So, it would be better to keep a low profile for a while.
"It’s nothing, we’re friends, it’s no big deal to me, every family has its own trivial matters."
Li Yanling also immediately took a step forward.
"Yes, it was really embarrassing for you to witness all that drama at our home."
But Liu Zheng didn’t think it was a big deal at all; he simply lifted his hand and waved it lightly.
"All right, all right, don’t treat me like an outsider. Since we are good friends, there’s no need to mention it anymore. If she really feels unwell, a few needles from me will surely make her feel better quickly."
"I didn’t expect her to run off, but seeing how quickly she ran, she seems to be quite robust. She probably doesn’t have any serious issues, so you shouldn’t worry too much."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanling and Xiao Kai gently nodded in agreement.
"No matter what, we’re very grateful to you. Without you, Xiao Kai wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."
Xiao Kai also immediately said.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, I really appreciate it. I was in so much pain these past few days. If you’re free, please come by our place often."
Liu Zheng couldn’t possibly refuse upon hearing this.
He was actually eager to visit more often.
For one thing, he could enjoy Li Yanling’s cooking,
and secondly, he could work on improving his relationship with Li Yanling.
This was a good thing for him.
A smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in response.
"In that case, I’ll humbly accept the invitation."
"Great, great, we look forward to your regular visits."
This matter was thus resolved.
Truth be told, Liu Zheng was quite satisfied in his heart.
Because from the very beginning, he had never imagined that the matter could be resolved so well.
But now there were other things to be done in his clinic, so he couldn’t stay here forever.
Therefore, he quickly bid farewell to the two and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Li Yanling and Xiao Kai specially prepared a lot of food for him.
After eating his fill and drinking plenty, he finally returned to his own clinic.
As soon as he got back, he saw several patients in a row.
Only then did he prepare to take a good rest.
He had indeed been quite busy these past few days.
So, lying on the bed, it didn’t take long before he fell asleep.
But when he woke up, to his surprise, he found that it was already dark outside.
Perhaps it was because he’d gone to sleep too early in the afternoon that he woke up in the middle of the night.
He originally planned to get up and eat something, but after going to the fridge, he found nearly nothing inside.
This left him somewhat helpless, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
Yes, he had been eating at Li Yanling’s home for the past few days and indeed hadn’t thought much about preparing food.
It seemed like he had to go out and see if there was anything good to eat.
At that thought,
he couldn’t help but think of a street-side fried noodle shop.
He hadn’t visited it for quite some time, and it seemed like today was a good day to have a meal there.
After eating, he guessed he would feel sleepy again and would be able to sleep until morning.
He hummed a tune as he walked down the street.
Before reaching the corner, he could see the signboard of the fried noodle shop from a distance.
But unexpectedly, just at that moment, a piercing scream came from behind.
"Ahhh!"
Everything happened so suddenly that he had no idea what was going on.
Not only that,
he felt the scream sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
But as for what exactly was happening, he wasn’t sure at the moment.
When he turned around, he saw a woman running from the other end of the street towards him.
Moreover, she seemed to be in a great hurry.
Yet there was no one following her.
Liu Zheng found it strange and truly didn’t know what was happening.
It wasn’t until the woman appeared before him that he finally saw clearly who she was.
He hadn’t expected it to be the woman he had bumped into on the street a few days ago.
He hadn’t anticipated such a coincidence to meet her again at this time.
It seemed that a small dog was following her.
At first, curious about her screaming, he now realized upon seeing the small dog that she must be afraid of dogs.
When the woman saw Liu Zheng, she suddenly jumped on him.
She clung to Liu Zheng like a little monkey.
Liu Zheng, seeing her act this way, naturally felt very curious, his eyes wide as copper gongs.
He quickly raised his hands instinctively to support the woman’s body.
"What are you doing?"
"I... I’m scared of dogs..."
Her voice started to tremble as she spoke.
Liu Zheng was somewhat bemused.
"But this dog seems to be only a few months old."
The woman buried her head deeply into his neck.
"Does fear of dogs take size into account? I’ve been scared since I was young, and I didn’t expect to meet you again at this time. It seems you are still my savior."
After hearing her say this, Liu Zheng opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
"So, when are you going to get down? Hanging on me like this doesn’t seem quite right."
Upon hearing these words, the woman finally reacted and quickly glanced toward the direction of the small dog.
She found that the small dog seemed to be sitting still in the same spot, not moving.
She immediately turned her head back, terrified.
"But... he’s still there..."
Liu Zheng also felt rather helpless.
