Xiao Ying waved her hand to indicate that she didn’t mind. After agreeing to give them lessons at night as they had planned, she walked into the room that Keith had arranged for her to sleep in.
After putting down the burden in her heart, Xiao Ying quickly entered dreamland, though she had a feeling that she forgot something.
In Xiao Ying’s rented apartment, Cheng Yang sat on the couch with a cold expression. Because he had dismissed the people who he sent to follow her, he knew nothing about her whereabouts.
It was only after Xiao Ying woke up that she remembered she had forgotten to notify Cheng Yang.
She quickly sent him a message: [Brother, I came to the hospital yesterday and happened to help with an operation, so I didn’t go home. I’ll stay at the Cheng residence tonight. Wait for me to eat~]
She released a breath after sending it.
Seeing that it was about time, she went to the director’s office. The doctors were already waiting there.
Xiao Ying answered their questions about the surgical procedure and emphasized the location and technique of the acupuncture portion.
More specific issues could only be solved when performing the procedure hands-on.
After her lecture, Xiao Ying was about to leave the hospital.
Keith wanted to drive her, but Xiao Ying smiled and said that someone was coming to pick her up.
Cheng Yang had asked for the address earlier and was now at the hospital entrance.
Xiao Ying quickly went out and saw a familiar black car. She walked over happily.
Keith stood by the entrance and watched her climb into the car, his eyes making contact with the man in the car.
Luna suddenly patted him on the shoulder. “Foolish boy, aren’t you going to go after her?”
Keith shook his head and smiled. “She’s already taken.”
Luna looked at the person in the car and said, “What if he’s just a brother or something?”
Keith shook his head and said nothing more. He saw the look in the man’s eyes clearly. It was definitely not the way someone would look at their sister.
Xiao Ying chattered with Cheng Yang about what happened in the past two days, excitement in her eyes.
Only in front of him would Xiao Ying behave like a little girl.
Cheng Yang stroked her head with one hand and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Xiao Ying quickly replied, “Let’s go eat barbecue.”
The underlying meaning was to get Cheng Yang to grill meat for her.
Cheng Yang nodded with a smile and took her to an all-you-can-eat barbeque restaurant.
They came to this place often, so as soon as they entered, Xiao Ying entered a private room with familiarity and waited for Cheng Yang to feed her.
Cheng Yang asked the waiter to deliver the food he had picked to the private room. He looked at the obedient Xiao Ying and smiled.
Soon, the first plate of barbeque was ready. Xiao Ying praised Cheng Yang’s skills as she ate.
Cheng Yang looked at Xiao Ying with a complex expression and asked, “Little girl, do you have someone you like?”
Xiao Ying suddenly coughed and Cheng Yang handed her a cup of water. After she recovered, she asked, “Brother, why are you suddenly asking this?”
Cheng Yang said in a confused manner, “I’m just curious about what it’s like to like someone.”
Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up. Was something going on in Cheng Yang’s love life?
He was already 28 years old, but had never had a girlfriend. This made her quite anxious.
Xiao Ying acted like she was a love guru and said, “Young man, love is very simple.”
She tried to pretend to be deep and insightful, but she quickly returned to her normal self. She gossiped, “Actually, it’s just that when you see someone, your heart will beat faster. You want to be with her for the rest of your life. When you don’t see her, you’ll get irritated and want to keep her by your side forever. If you see her with another man, you’ll get angry. This is caused by possessiveness.”
With that, she looked at Cheng Yang’s thoughtful expression and asked, “Brother, who is the person you like?”
Cheng Yang’s gaze landed on Xiao Ying, making her hairs stand on end.
She said uncomfortably, “If you don’t want to tell me, then fine. Why are you looking at me like that?”
Cheng Yang suddenly understood something and said with a smile, “I’ll tell you later.”
Xiao Ying hadn’t expected Cheng Yang to really have someone in mind. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, “Come on, tell me now.. I want to know who’s so outstanding that they can even take down my brother.”
