Zheng Chuyang laughed self-deprecatingly, "What a proud man of heaven, he is just an ordinary person!"
Lu Shaohuai asked curiously: "What kind of shock did you experience in front of her? It looked very serious."
"It's not a big shock. It's just that suddenly, I feel like I can't reach her!" Zheng Chuyang held up his chopsticks, paused slightly, and then said, "Her friends came to see her father, and they talked about their circle.
Things in the industry, finance, and connections are all out of my reach. If I’m not in the same circle, it’s really difficult to blend in.”
"Brother, are you thinking too much?" Lu Shaohuai comforted him and said: "From now on, when you and Shen Xiaoxiao are together, it will be the two of you living together. What does this have to do with anything? Your profession is a doctor, not a CEO.
, why do you insist on melting it in? First of all, your idea is wrong."
Zheng Chuyang said: "Shaohuai, it's not that I think too much, it's that marriage is a matter between two families! She comes from a wealthy family, and if she is with me, people in her circle will think that she is marrying down."
"You don't care what others think about what you do?" Lu Shaohuai said: "No, Chu Yang, this is not like you. You have always been confident and will not be fettered by these worldly things. What happened this time?"
"I don't know either." Zheng Chuyang drank all the porridge in the bowl and said, "Stop asking, just eat quickly."
"You have an inferiority complex! If you really like Xiaoxiao, then be more confident. You are not a vagrant and have a good career. I really don't know where your inferiority complex comes from." Lu Shaohuai felt sorry for him.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more about this relationship and lowered her head to eat.
Zheng Chuyang looked down at the empty bowl, feeling complicated and tangled.
Time flies, and half a month has passed. Father Shen has been discharged from the hospital and is recovering well. Chen Liang asked him to take good care of his health first. He went back first and came back after a while. During the time that Lao Shen stayed in the hospital
, but the pain was so bad that when I returned home, I felt like I had a new lease of life.
"Wang Ma, let's make dinner tonight richer and get more meat." Shen Honglin said happily.
Wang Ma was about to say yes, but Shen Xiaoxiao intercepted her words.
"Dad, the doctor didn't let you eat greasy food, have you forgotten?" She said seriously: "How dangerous is your brain hemorrhage sign? Why don't you take good care of yourself now? In the future, in addition to necessary meat supplements,
Don’t eat too much of the rest.”
After she finished speaking, she said to Wang Ma: "From today on, dinner will be light. Tell me what you do every day."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Ma glanced at Shen Honglin sympathetically, shrugged helplessly, and went to the kitchen.
After hearing what his daughter said, Shen Honglin lamented: "I insist on taking medicine. It doesn't matter if I eat less meat."
"Yes, you can eat less. It's not a big deal." Shen Xiaoxiao echoed his words, "However, the doctor has said that you are no longer allowed to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. But you are not allowed to touch these two things again!"
"Wouldn't that kill me? Are you going to let me live?" Shen Honglin said unhappily.
Shen Xiaoxiao said confidently: "Just to keep you alive, I have to control your diet and quit smoking and drinking. Don't you want to get better?"
Shen Honglin looked at his daughter's serious look, as if she had accepted her fate, and patted her thigh, "Okay, I'll listen to you! But when I get better, you won't be able to control me so strictly!"
"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile as she saw her father acting like a child.
Shen Honglin said: "By the way, I have to ask Mother Wang to cook some dishes tonight. You call Dr. Zheng over and we thank him."
Shen Xiaoxiao's expression changed and she said, "I wonder if he is busy and can come over."
"Yes, I still want to ask you. Doctor Zheng seems to have not been looking for you for a while, right? What happened to you two? Did you have a quarrel?" Shen Honglin asked curiously.
Shen Xiaoxiao said: "There was no quarrel. Didn't he open a new clinic? He might be very busy and didn't have time to see me."
"Then you give him a call and ask him to come to your house for a meal."
"Let's talk about it later." After Shen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she called Wang Ma and pushed herself back to the room.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sycamore trees in the yard downstairs. After thinking for a long time, she picked up her phone and called Zheng Chuyang.
It was lunch break, Zheng Chuyang was lying in the lounge, and suddenly the cell phone beside his pillow rang. He saw that it was Shen Xiaoxiao calling, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, but then he hesitated and picked up the call.
"Hello?"
Shen Xiaoxiao felt nervous when she heard his voice on the phone. She took two deep breaths and said, "It's me."
"Yeah." He responded, "I know."
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't rush to speak after hearing what he said. Zheng Chuyang waited for her to speak, but didn't say a word, and the two of them remained silent.
After a while, Shen Xiaoxiao said: "My dad is discharged from the hospital."
"Yes, uncle, come out and take good care of her."
"My dad wants to ask you to come to my house for dinner tonight. I want to thank you. Are you free?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with the slightest expectancy.
Zheng Chuyang pondered for a moment and said: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come over. Thank you uncle for your kindness, please say sorry to him for me. Actually, you don't have to be so polite, it's just a little effort."
Shen Xiaoxiao had intuitively guessed that he would refuse, but she didn't expect it to be like this. These days, he has been really abnormal. The two of them had frequent phone calls and WeChat messages before, and suddenly he was like a burning flame being thrown on him. The basin of water extinguished him, and he suddenly became much colder towards himself, losing the previous enthusiasm and initiative.
"I don't have time tonight, what about tomorrow night?" she asked.
She got into a fight and just wanted to see when he would come!
"Not even tomorrow night, I'll go back to my mother's house."
"Then there should be time later tonight, right?"
"The next night, Shao Huai and I made an appointment to play ball. I can't let him go anymore."
Shen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Then it's up to you. You can come to my house for dinner when it's convenient for you."
Zheng Chuyang said: "Xiaoxiao, actually I didn't do anything. You and uncle are too polite. I accept your wishes and I won't go there."
"Zheng Chuyang, what do you mean?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked calmly and angrily.
"I've noticed that you've been avoiding me recently! I either don't reply when I send you messages, or I reply very slowly, and you also have a distant tone when I call you. What do you mean? Please make it clear to me!" Shen Xiaoxiao really said I couldn't bear it anymore and asked angrily.
Zheng Chuyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something heartless, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't explain why he did so.
"Do you like someone else?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked coldly, "Although we haven't pierced the window paper yet, we know each other's feelings, right? If you have someone you like, then you Say it openly and I will never look for you again! I am not the kind of person who is entangled! Just say it!"
