Gao Shaojie still wanted to say something but Hu Hai tugged at his white coat gently from behind.
Uh… Was something the matter? Gao Shaojie reacted very quickly and immediately stopped talking.
After Zheng Ren left in a hurry, Hu Hai said, “Old Gao, Teacher Zheng brought over his girlfriend with him this time.”
Gao Shaojie suddenly remembered that when he was at Sea City General Hospital’s emergency department, there was a scrub nurse at the side table.
That seemed to be the case. He smiled.
It was true. Boss Zheng was usually busy. That time, however, he probably came over one night early because he wanted to be with his girlfriend in the Provincial Capital.
The chief resident did not have time to accompany his girlfriend. That was the norm of the industry.
Since that was the case, he would be embarrassed to disturb Boss Zheng.
..
..
Zheng Ren ran downstairs. A red Volvo XC60 stopped at the in-patient department’s entrance. The exhaust pipe was suddenly revving up. The sound was so clear that it made Zheng Ren feel like he was still in Sea City then.
Opening the car door, Xie Yiren’s smile was just like a flower’s.
“When did you drive your car down?” Zheng Ren sat inside and asked in surprise.
“Just now. You went to watch a movie so I had time to fetch the car,” Xie Yiren said.
Zheng Ren was completely confused. Did she go back to Sea City to fetch her car? Not only was the journey torturous, but it also could not have been so fast.
Xie Yiren changed gears and stepped on the accelerator. Seeing that Zheng Ren did not say anything, she realized that Zheng Ren must have misunderstood. She smiled and said, “This car was placed at the house’s garage in the Provincial Capital. I had time so I went to get it.”
Uh…
Not only did she own houses in the Imperial Capital, but she also had cars here as well? Or was it the same Volvo?
Poverty was a concept that limited Zheng Ren’s imagination. He did not know what was going on until Xie Yiren explained it clearly.
“Do you like Volvos so much?” Zheng Ren asked.
“My dad said that Volvo invented the seatbelt and the car’s safety factors are also high so he suggested that I drive a Volvo,” Xie Yiren said while driving. “Driving feels good too. I highly recommend it.”
Zheng Ren nodded.
According to Lil Fugui and Department Chief Kong, he should not be short of money soon. After he headed to the Capital, he still had to buy a car.
Zheng Ren had never thought about buying a car. That was the furthest thing on Zheng Ren’s agenda.
Since his future father-in-law strongly recommended it, a red Volvo should be his first choice.
The traffic flow in the Provincial Capital was much denser compared to Sea City. That meant that traffic was also slow but fortunately, the two of them chatted with each other as Xie Yiren drove at the same time.
Although they had no destination in mind, they were free and did not feel bored.
Zheng Ren told Xie Yiren two things about general surgery today since such trivial things were a part of life.
Xie Yiren praised Zheng Ren with a smile while exclaiming in surprise.
Suddenly, the car slowed down.
Zheng Ren felt that there were no weird road incidents around him.
Just as he was about to ask, Xie Yiren turned the car around and entered a small intersection as she pulled over.
“Wait for me,” said Xie Yiren.
Seeing her jump out of the car happily and run to a barbecue stall by the roadside, Zheng Ren smiled.
A few minutes later, Xie Yiren ran back with a few skewers in her hands.
There were not many, probably only around ten of them.
After handing the skewers to Zheng Ren, Xie Yiren said, “When I was young, I loved eating skewers in the car. They were usually as a snack rather than a meal.”
Zheng Ren smiled.
Xie Yiren started the car and join the sea of traffic in the Provincial Capital.
“You can’t eat this stuff too much. You should only have a little bit,” Xie Yiren said. “Unfortunately, my father said that barbecued foods are not hygienic, so he rarely let me eat them. However, I later had a serious talk with him and he agreed that if I want to eat skewers, I can’t eat more than five in one sitting and should only have them just once a week.”
He could still negotiate. It seemed that the family atmosphere amongst Xie Yiren’s family was very relaxed.
However, when he thought about it, Zheng Ren immediately remembered that his father-in-law was coming back and his brows immediately furrowed.
“Give me one,” said Xie Yiren as she focused on driving.
Zheng Ren handed her a skewer but Xie Yi did not take it from him.
Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment. He almost slapped himself in the face.
How stupid.
He carefully guided the skewer to her mouth and said gently, “Be careful not to prick your mouth.”
She opened her pale red lips and took a bite.
Xie Yiren began to savor the skewer with relish.
The skewer that had just been roasted had a meaty aroma. Zheng Ren was also hungry and ate a skewer.
“You have to smack your mouth and make a sound so that it’s tastier.” Xie Yiren looked ahead and felt a little embarrassed. However, she was very familiar with Zheng Ren so she had become indifferent to certain matters regarding her image.
“Make a sound?” Zheng Ren had never seen Xie Yiren do such a thing before.
However, he immediately realized that the usually quiet Xie Yiren was making a sound to show that the food was delicious.
“My dad doesn’t allow me to eat more. I just feel that if that’s the case, each skewer should taste like two instead.” Xie Yiren was also a little shy and said, “Try it.”
No matter how low Zheng Ren’s EQ was, he would not let Xie Yiren eat the skewers by herself.
After trying it, half of the fat in the small skewer exploded in his mouth, exuding a meaty fragrance and a delicious aftertaste.
“It tastes so good!” Zheng Ren finished the skewers and said.
“Right?” Xie Yiren heard Zheng Ren’s words and said that with a smile.
One skewer after another, the two of them finished the ten skewers in just a few minutes.
Zheng Ren held the skewer sticks in his hand and found a tissue to wrap them up. He was waiting to get out of the car and throw them away in the trash can.
“By the way, what are we going to eat?” Xie Yiren only remembered to ask that question then.
However, the question did not really matter since Zheng Ren had little interest in eating. It was only when he was with Xie Yiren that he felt that eating was a very interesting thing.
Finally, Xie Yiren pulled Zheng Ren to a restaurant with Shaanxi flavor. They ordered a few special dishes and finished their dinner while chatting and laughing.
It was much better than their lunch. That was what Zheng Ren felt.
After that, Xie Yiren drove to the movie theater in the city center and had already booked two IMAX movie tickets.
The timing was just right. Zheng Ren naturally took hold of little Yiren’s hand and entered the cinema.
When they were at their seats, Zheng Ren looked at the handrail and helped her into her seat.
Thinking back to the time when he was troubled and confused about how to help her into her seat without causing a scene, Zheng Ren felt like he was in a dream.
Little Yiren was a little shy. When the lights were down and the movie started, she leaned into Zheng Ren’s arms.
Her skin felt like soft jade, a gentle fragrance emanating from her as her hair brushed playfully against his cheek. The moment was so beautiful.
Zheng Ren was immersed in the tenderness and forgot his surroundings.
Half an hour into the movie, Zheng Ren’s vision from his right eye suddenly turned black!
What happened? Diseases such as optic nerve injury immediately appeared in Zheng Ren’s mind. The CPU speed of his brain instantly reached its peak as his blood pressure rose.
Did he have a strange disease?
