Although Sheng Xiang was criticizing Cheng Mufeng for being troublesome, she still set her own alarm clock to remind her to have dinner with Cheng Mufeng next Wednesday night.
When Jing Xiaoyuan heard about this, she asked directly," Hey, isn't it awkward for the two of you to meet?”
Sheng Xiang glanced at him." What do you think?"
Jing Xiaoyuan tilted her head and looked like she was deep in thought. A few seconds later, she replied," If I splashed paint all over her body and found out that I poured it on the wrong person, I'd probably die of embarrassment.”
Sheng Xiang felt stifled. She said unhappily," He even poked me! He said that I didn't have parents to teach me!"
Jing Xiaoyuan said," I don't know who you are.”
Sheng Xiang said," I don't know who he is either…"
After saying that, she coughed awkwardly, feeling that she was in the wrong.
Ye Xiazhi tried to smooth things over. She said," Sigh, forget it. It's all because of me. Isn't Cheng Mufeng your third uncle's good friend? He's considered your elder. You should treat him to a meal and apologize."”
Sheng Xiang retorted immediately." Let me correct you again. Cheng Mufeng is indeed my third uncle's friend, but that doesn't mean that he has to be on the same level as me. Besides, I didn't treat him to a meal to apologize. I just don't like owing him favors. My grandfather and my third uncle keep calling him their savior, as if he saved the entire Sheng family. If I don't make up with him, I'll become a rebel in the family!"”
Jing Xiaoyuan said," Alright, alright, whatever you say. Xia Zhi and I were just reminding you out of kindness. Don't be late for dinner with him on Wednesday. Usually, doctors and lawyers are super punctual. If you're late, he'll probably have a worse impression of you."”
Sheng Xiang wanted to say that she wouldn't be late, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she raised her beautiful eyes and said," Who cares if he has a good impression of me or not? Who is he to me?"
Ye Xiazhi and Jing Xiaoyuan replied in unison," Benefactor."”
……
At 7:20 pm on Wednesday night, Sheng Xiang drove to Bai Keji, a restaurant located on White Horse Road. Bai Keji was not a big restaurant, but it had a good reputation. People who knew how to eat knew about it.
It was a time of high traffic. If Sheng Xiang hadn't booked a seat, there would probably be no seats.
Sitting by the window, Sheng Xiang looked out. It was less than ten minutes to 7:30.
When she thought about how Cheng Mufeng would be sitting across from her, Sheng Xiang felt a little nervous. She attributed this feeling to Cheng Mufeng being difficult to get along with. He looked cold and didn't speak much, but in private, he was really a honey-mouthed man with a sharp heart.
How was she going to greet Cheng Mufeng when he arrived?
Hi？Wasn't she too lively? Sheng Yunhao said that Cheng Mufeng was 11 years older than her, so wasn't he 29 years old this year?
Hello? Not good, it was too stiff. Those who didn't know better would think that the two of them were sitting here for a blind date.
Then what did he say? Even the opening speech was enough to give Sheng Xiang a headache. If she had known earlier, she would have asked Jing Xiaoyuan and Ye Xiazhi in school.
Just as Sheng Xiang was letting her imagination run wild, the appointed time had arrived.
Sheng Xiang looked at the watch on her left wrist. The minute hand was already pointing to the left of six. It was already past 7:30. Why wasn't Cheng Mufeng here yet?
Sheng Xiang leaned back in her chair and took out her phone to play Bubble Bobble, thinking that she finally had something to talk about. When Cheng Mufeng came over later, she could tease him for being unpunctual.
But who knew that this wait would last for hours?
Cheng Mufeng was supposed to get off the operating table at seven o'clock, but he did not expect that the moment he came out of the operating room, the hospital would send over the father of the director of the Orthopedics Department. The old man had an cerebral artery tumor and high blood pressure, so the risks of the surgery were very high. Ordinary doctors could not achieve zero risk. The director of the Orthopedics Department almost begged Cheng Mufeng to perform the surgery himself. Cheng Mufeng did not even change out of his surgical gown before he entered the operating room and performed a major surgery that lasted nearly four hours.
When he came out of the operating theater, his head was covered in sweat. The director of the Orthopedics Department said," Associate Professor Cheng, thank you so much. I heard from the nurse that you performed surgery for seven to eight hours today. You must not have time to eat. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. You must do me the honor."”
Cheng Mufeng was stunned when he heard the word " dinner." He asked subconsciously," What day is it today?"”
The director of the Orthopedics Department replied," Wednesday.”
Cheng Mufeng frowned slightly. He had a feeling that there was something he had not done today. It seemed that he had forgotten about the dinner with Sheng Xiang.
He took off his surgical gown, and the nurse beside him handed him his wallet and watch.
Cheng Mufeng looked at the time. It was already past eleven.
The director of the Orthopedics Department looked at Cheng Mufeng and smiled apologetically." Associate Professor Cheng, I heard that you're taking a break tomorrow. After dinner tonight, you can have a good sleep tomorrow. Why don't we…"
Before he could finish, Cheng Mufeng smiled and said," Director Zhang, although the surgery was successful, Uncle is old and needs someone to take care of him. It's better for your family to stay by his side. I already have an appointment today. I'm really sorry."”
Cheng Mufeng nodded and walked out.
Cheng Mufeng drove all the way to Baikeji. He thought that Sheng Xiang must have left long ago since it was already so late, but for some reason, he still wanted to go and take a look.
White Horse Road, in front of Baikeji Shop.
The neon lights on the restaurant's signboard had long been extinguished. Through the glass, the interior of the restaurant was also pitch-black. There was no one there. The restaurant had long been closed.
Cheng Mufeng stood at the entrance of the shop and was dazed for a moment. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a familiar voice say," You're late for more than four hours. How dare you come?”
Cheng Mufeng looked over and saw Sheng Xiang, who was wearing white pants and a black T-shirt, with her arms crossed. She was leaning against the corner of the wall of Bai Keji. The Superman pattern on her chest was luminous and looked especially bright.
The moment he saw her, Cheng Mufeng had an urge to smile. He opened his thin lips and said," You're still here?”
Sheng Xiang strode towards Cheng Mufeng, her pretty face full of displeasure. She glared at him and said," You're playing me on purpose, aren't you? Look at the time now! Are you living overseas?"
" Why aren't you back yet?" Cheng Mufeng asked.”
Sheng Xiang glared at him and said," I don't have your phone number. I can't contact you. How do I know if you'll come or not? When will you come? What if you came right after I left? Wouldn't that make me look like I have no tolerance?”
Cheng Mufeng resisted the urge to laugh and said," You look like you have a lot of tolerance now?”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
