Chapter 12: 4.1

Chapter 4: Meal Money (1)

His words trailed off and the atmosphere around them grew thin.

Frankly speaking, Ji Qingying didn’t expect Fu Yanzhi to see through her lies.

Stumped for words, she looked up at him.

The man’s amber eyes seemed somewhat deeper under the night, and Ji Qingying was embarrassed for a moment, quickly gathering her thoughts as she said, “Yes.”

Without embarrassment in the least on her face, she smiled and asked, “How does it taste?”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t say anything.

He lowered his gaze, his eyes rested on her hand holding the bag. Because of nervousness, her veins at the back of her hand became easily seen.

After a couple of seconds, he withdrew his gaze.

Ji Qingying’s heart pounded like beating a drum.

Not being able to figure out what Fu Yanzhi meant, this guy wasn’t even close to what she had learned about him before.

She’d never been in a relationship, but had heard her friends talk about what such creatures as men were like.

But Fu Yanzhi was nothing like what they had talked about before.

She pursed her lips and thought hard to seek her own way in this case.

“I heard that Sanshi Restaurant is the best in this area, isn’t it?”

Fu Yanzhi paused for a moment and echoed, “Yeah.”

Ji Qingying’s lips moved, looking at him: “Then-”

Before she could even say anything, Fu Yanzhi’s phone rang.

He didn’t hesitate to answer it and turned around with the gesture of heading back to the hospital.

“Hello.”

“Fu Yanzhi, is the dinner you have on the table left for me?”

Xu Chengli chuckled lightly: “Oh thank you.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

“By the way, where did you people go?”

Xu Chengli looked around and began to unpack the containers, “This is the amount for two people, right? Should I wait for you to come back before I eat?”

“……”

Fu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the person next to him.

The soundproofing of the phone wasn’t very good, Ji Qingying was standing right next to him, and what Xu Chengli said was heard word for word by her.

In his sight, when she heard the last word, the light in her pupils seemed a little faint, and the curved lip angle was slowly pulling down.

The light in his vision seemed to fade a little in her eyes as she heard the latter sentence, and the curved corners of her lips were slowly pulling downward now.

He replied, “Eat by yourself, I’ll be back later.”

Xu Chengli raised his eyebrows, “What? Why are you in such a hurry this time of night? Dating your girlfriend, huh?”

“No.”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t say much to him but added, “Call me if there’s an emergency,” and hung up.

He put away his phone and looked at the person standing beside him without making any sound: “Let’s go.”

Ji Qingying was stunned, looking at him in dismay, “What?”

" "

Fu Yanzhi said faintly: “Eat.”

It was only after watching the man lift his foot and walk across the street that Ji Qingying reacted with hindsight—

Fu Yanzhi accepted to have dinner with her!

Though Perhaps! Because somebody else ate the meal she delivered!

But it didn’t matter, Ji Qingying would prefer him to eat something else together with herself than to have him eat what she sent!

The word “together”…. that’s a mind-blowing word!
–
There were many restaurants near the hospital.

But it’s late at night, and the ones that were slightly more proper practically closed at this time.

Ji Qingying followed Fu Yanzhi for a while, turning to look at the smaller restaurants on either side.

The small restaurant was crowded with people all huddled together, talking very happily, and the atmosphere was lively and looked very much alive.

Ji Qingying footsteps paused and came to a halt.

Sensing that she wasn’t catching up, Fu Yanzhi looked back.

As soon as he turned back, he was confronted with Ji Qingying’s sparkling eyes.

“Dr. Fu, this restaurant seems nice, shall we eat there?”

Fu Yanzhi took a look at the interior of the restaurant from the street, his voice clear and cold, “Are you sure?”

He showed no distaste or displeasure in his face and didn’t seem repulsed by the atmosphere in the restaurant.

“Yes.”

Ji Qingying curved her lips, her eyes glowing at him: “How was it?”

Fu Yan looked at her eyes and walked straight in.

The restaurant was really small, Ji Qingying counted only seven or eight tables, but there were more than ten to twenty customers, and with the owner and waiters walking around, even the aisles became overly crowded.

As the two entered, the waiter at the door looked at them and was surprised, “What can I get for you both?”

Fu Yanzhi gave her a sidelong glance.

Ji Qingying understood it and raised her eyes to look at the menu on the wall, and quickly ordered, “I’ll have the rib porridge.”

“Alright, what else?”

Ji Qingying shook her head and turned to Fu Yanzhi.

“What would you like to eat?”

After they ordered their food, the waiter looked around the restaurant, “There are still two seats over there, do you two mind?”

Before Fu Yanzhi could speak, Ji Qingying immediately replied, “Not a problem.”

“……”

She certainly wouldn’t mind that kind of side-by-side seating for two people together.

As they walked over, Ji Qingying noticed that it was a young couple.

A table for four, with two people sitting close together with deep affection.

If it were before, Ji Qingying wouldn’t enjoy sitting at a table with others, moreover with someone she didn’t recognize.

She didn’t like the attention that fell on her, to most people however, wearing a cheongsam was quite unique.

Over time, she grew accustomed to it.

Of course habits were all habits, and it would still be uncomfortable for her to be watched and sized up at close range.

Today, she was wearing a cheongsam with blue flowers on a white fabric, which was inspired by the design of blue and white porcelain that made her look unique.

But because of the long curly hair, it sort of blended in well with the modern day.

She herself was beautiful and with that attire sitting in the restaurant, she was a bit out of place with her surroundings.

The opposite couple watched the two of them, giving one deep look and then withdrawing their gaze, followed by an unabashed peek over with a mixture of curiosity and amazement.

Ji Qingying pulled back her hair and lowered her head to expose her ears, she uncomfortably shifted her position, her outer thigh accidentally bumping into the person next to her.

The man sat down with his back straight.

Fu Yanzhi appeared to be a thin type, at least outwardly, but Ji Qingying could tell that he had muscles and should have a very well-trained body.

Designers were known for having eyes that could see through clothes to see their figure and so was she.

With just that brief moment, it was obvious that the man’s leg muscles were taut and strong and that he definitely exercised a lot.

Their legs were so tightly pressed together that Ji Qingying could feel the temperature of his body through his clothes.

She stiffened, her ears flushed with a tinge of red.

She licked her lips and dropped her eyes to take a sip of the water placed next to her.

Because it happened by accident, Ji Qingying did not deliberately move away.

She was not used to it, but it seemed to be okay.

Her eyes were fluttering, bewildered and feeling somewhat guilty.

It wasn’t like Fu Yanzhi hadn’t noticed the small movements of the person next to her.

He looked over his shoulder and what caught his eye was the delicate side of her face.

Ji Qingying’s facial features were beautifully sculpted as she looked both lovely and gentle. Her eyes weren’t too big or too small and when she lowered her eyes, her eyelashes were curled attractively.

Someone pushed the door in, wrapped in the night air blowing through outside and the scent of the people next to them burrowed into their noses.

Fu Yanzhi took back his sight and didn’t move.
