Chapter 904: Meeting You, I Am Back to Life 31
As for Lingyao, Frank found her going out wearing a skirt after she returned home yesterday. Although she was physically fine, Frank still didn't let her go and kept repeating the precautions for her all night.
So much so that the clothes Liu Yun prepared for her this morning were all thickened versions.
Not only was she given a short top and long bottom white woolen skirt, but she was also given a matching shawl. When Lingyao got in the car and turned on the heater, she almost got heatstroke.
Shen Qi arrived earlier than her. When Lingyao entered the restaurant, she saw him at first sight. Not only did she see him, but several people sitting in the restaurant also cast their eyes on him.
He saw Lingyao coming in from the door, stood up from his seat and went to meet her.
Lingyao then handed the shawl she had taken off to him naturally. Shen Qi was stunned for only a second before taking it obediently.
The ladies who had been staring at the single handsome man for a long time immediately looked away with regret when they saw the two men behaving so skillfully and intimately.
They sat down, ordered food and ate.
Lingyao ordered a plate of custard buns and osmanthus soy milk, while Shen Qi ordered a plate of sugar-coated oil cakes, a basket of crab buns and a cup of soy milk.
The two didn't talk much while eating, until Lingyao finished eating and put down her chopsticks to wipe her mouth, then she spoke, breaking the indescribable strangeness that existed between them.
"Your appetite has increased now."
Although Shen Qi lowered his head and ate the buns, his mind had already been thinking about the "communication notes" that he could recite by heart.
He was about to speak when Lingyao spoke unexpectedly.
He stopped biting the bun, held a half-eaten bun with shallow teeth marks on it between his chopsticks, and looked up.
"Well, maybe it's because I've been exercising over the years, so my appetite has increased."
As he spoke, he glanced at the dishes and chopsticks Lingyao had left on the table, and the plate in front of her with two custard buns left on it.
There were only four on the plate, and she only ate two and drank half a cup of soy milk.
"Aren't you going to eat anymore?" Shen Qi clearly remembered that he had written in his notes yesterday that eighteen-year-old girls are more individualistic and have their own personalities, so don't let them feel that you are interfering in their lives, which will cause them offense.
But Shen Qi still spoke. She ate too little and was so thin.
Lingyao glanced at Shen Qi: "Yeah, I'm full."
Shen Qi's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end he just hummed and asked her, "Do you have class today?"
"No classes." She had classes, but she didn't go.
"Then... do you have time this afternoon? Come to my place for a while. I've bought some food to celebrate your return home."
After Shen Qi finished speaking, he stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth, trying to cover up his nervousness by chewing.
"Okay, you can drive over to pick me up?"
"Okay." Shen Qi agreed immediately. Because his voice was a little unclear due to the bun in his mouth, and he was afraid that Lingyao might not hear clearly or might have heard it wrong, he raised his finger and made an OK gesture.
After a peaceful breakfast, before sending Lingyao to the car, Shen Qi draped the shawl in his hand over her, and then handed Lingyao the steamed pork ribs and spring rolls that he had asked the restaurant to pack.
"I heard that some thin people have a small appetite. They feel full after eating a little at a time, but they will feel a little hungry again after a while. However, they can only eat a little at a time."
"Take it. You can eat more when you're hungry later."
Lingyao took the bag from Shen Qi's hand, and seeing his serious look, she couldn't help but tease him.
"Teacher Shen, am I the only one who has this breakfast, or do other students have it too?"
A lukewarm tone.
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Stop messing around."
……
Shen Qi, who had just finished eating the remaining two custard buns for Lingyao, returned to the laboratory and more food was delivered to his already bulging belly.
It was wedding candy sent by his junior graduate student who is a few years younger than him. He is getting engaged to his girlfriend at the end of this month. I heard that his girlfriend and he have been dating for seven or eight years, from their high school days to now, and now they have finally gotten married.
Shen Qi naturally had to accept the wedding candy.
"May you have a happy marriage." After receiving the wedding candy, Shen Qi, who was usually a man of few words, also spoke up to wish them the best.
The junior brother thanked him with a smile, feeling very cheerful. He, who usually got scared of this devilish genius senior brother, actually started to make fun of him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. But you should stop devoting your energy to the lab every day. It's time to find a partner."
Now, in the entire laboratory, only Shen Qi and his junior sister who just joined the laboratory this year and is in her first year of graduate school are single.
Everyone in the lab could see that the junior sister was interested in Shen Qi. It was natural. Being in the same lab, spending every day with such an excellent and handsome senior brother, it was like having all kinds of buffs added up. Who wouldn't be moved?
So everyone took advantage of the good atmosphere at this time and wanted to get together with the two of them. They wanted to help the little sister, but also wanted to watch the fun.
Apart from anything else, seeing that Shen Qi has been single for so many years, they are really curious about what type of person Shen Qi likes?
So at this time, someone took advantage of the situation and pulled out the little junior sister who was hiding behind.
"Hey, isn't there a ready-made beauty here? She's three years younger than Shen Bo, just right!"
The little junior sister is only 21 years old this year. She has a cute and adorable appearance and a lively personality. However, when facing Shen Qi, she stutters and can't utter a complete sentence. Who can't see what she is thinking?
When she was pulled to the front, her face immediately turned red and her eyes floated in the air.
I was already extremely shy, but I didn't open my mouth to refute.
And Shen Qi wasn't really a nerd and couldn't understand what they meant.
He put the wedding candy into the drawer, and faced with everyone's booing, he didn't make jokes or act perfunctorily.
Instead, he gave a concise answer.
Just like he always wrote the answer to a physics problem.
Right is right, wrong is wrong.
"Don't make such jokes in the future. It's disrespectful to girls, and I don't like it."
On the surface, it means that I don't like the way they are making trouble, but in fact it is a clear rejection.
None of the top students present are stupid.
The red cloud on the girl's face quickly dissipated.
The others stopped making a fuss and quickly changed the subject to talk about other things.
……
Lingyao returned to the villa, handed the packed pork ribs and spring rolls to her aunt and put them in the refrigerator, and then took the medicine under Frank's watchful eyes.
When Frank saw Lingyao take the medicine, he fell back on the sofa and spread his hands on the couch.
In an inappropriate tone, he said, "I've been back for a few days, and I haven't had much time to go out and have fun. How about we go to a musical tonight?"
"No." Every time Lingyao attended a concert, there were only two possible outcomes: one was falling asleep, and the other was because the God of Wealth was there, and she had to pretend that she was enjoying the concert all the time, but in fact she was not.
Frank was not discouraged when his proposal was rejected. He didn't really want to go to the concert in the first place; he just wanted to throw out the idea.
Soon, he threw out another option.
"Then let's go to the famous Forbidden City?"
"No, I'm busy, go by yourself."
Frank was a little sad after being rejected repeatedly.
Isn’t it said that after being rejected once, the other party will most likely not reject your second request?
Why does she always refuse so thoroughly without any hesitation?
Frank said in a weak voice, "I have an appointment. Who is it with?"
"Friends." Still friends for now.
"Friend?" Frank raised his voice. "Isn't that the friend whose information you read on the plane?"
Lingyao did not cover up when she saw it. Frank, as the accompanying doctor, was always paying attention to Lingyao's condition on the plane, so he naturally saw it.
Lingyao hummed.
Frank suddenly chuckled, "OK, go ahead, and be back before nine in the evening."
After saying that, he got up from the sofa in the living room and went upstairs. The sound of his slippers hitting the ground was long as he walked.
Lingyao noticed that Frank seemed unhappy, but she didn't quite understand why he was unhappy. Maybe men also have those few days every month.
Not taking it to heart, Lingyao continued reading the book in her hand.
Liu Yun, who was cleaning nearby, could figure out some of the reasons. After all, she was an experienced person with some emotional experience.
However, she did not say much, firstly because Lingyao looked like she had not gotten the point, and secondly, because of Liu Yun's own unpleasant experience with foreign men, she did not support her boss looking for a foreign man.
Although Frank is half Chinese, his nationality and upbringing are both abroad, so he is actually no different from foreign men.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Qi came to pick up Lingyao on time.
As soon as Lingyao went out, Frank sent a message.
F: [Remember the dietary taboos. Don’t eat too much seafood or drink alcohol. ]
Lingyao replied: [1]
F:: [……]
Shen Qi also heard the notification tone and vibration of Lingyao's phone. Although he didn't ask or turn his head to look, his eyes fell on the straight road.
But in fact, he felt a little itchy in his heart. It was not that he wanted to pry into Lingyao's privacy, but he was just curious about Lingyao's current social circle.
I'm curious whether Lingyao has any other friends in China besides him.
