Chapter 9, Incident

Song Zizhao saw two people returning together. His brows furrowed momentarily before quickly relaxing. He stood up and took a seat in the main position beside Xu Runqing.

He suppressed the smile at the corners of his lips and asked her in a low voice, "Do you want an evening like this?"

It is no longer the time to be concerned about this

There was no one in the corridor, and Nianxiang was waiting outside the door with her face covered, hearing the sound of him casually closing the door, her head buried even deeper... Wuwuwu, how embarrassing TAT

Xu Runqing encountered this situation for the first time as well. He glanced at the empty corridor and took the lead in walking forward: "Follow me to the restroom"

He stood up, and none of those present dared to remain seated... except for...

She is my patient

What does it mean ... ! ... Additionally, there are some absurd situations to deal with ! ! ! ! !

As the words fell, the wine glass was brought close to the lips and drained in one gulp

Xu Runqing's expression grew increasingly indifferent as he stood up with a wine glass in hand. His voice was cool, yet his tone was very gentle: "I still have to drive home later, and recently there has been strict enforcement against drunk driving, so I will take it easy."

Shaking her head, the voice carried a tone of weeping, clearly in a rhythm that could break into tears at any moment: "The chopsticks are stuck... still... still can't pull them out..."

Alas... how could it be that they have left... shouldn't we calculate the labor fees... or perhaps consider a confidentiality fee...

Due to the presence of a foreign object in her mouth, she spoke very slowly, and her voice was somewhat muffled

In fact, everyone saw her walking briskly out the door with chopsticks in her mouth... they just didn't consider the angle of the chopsticks getting stuck, which would have made everyone burst into laughter...

As soon as he took his seat, various toasts followed in quick succession.

Thus, in the midst of complete silence, Xu Runqing walked out with a slight smile at the corners of his lips, feeling quite pleased.

Xu Runqing's eyes were slightly deep in color, and he gazed at her for a while before saying with a smile that was not quite a smile: "I am afraid that will not do."

Lan Xiaojun shook her head helplessly with an expression of disbelief, saying, "How can this girl eat so much..."

Practicing medicine without accepting bribes, if you respect my profession, you should wait until you are no longer my patient to repay. Until then, it remains outstanding

Xu Runqing looked at her, slightly pursing the corners of her lips, lifted the cup, took a sip of plain water, and gazed with bright eyes at Song Zizhao, who was surrounded by people not far away, with an expressionless face

I also do not like to drink beverages. After saying this, he added, "Speak plainly."

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded with certainty and said, "I have found it."

Xu Runqing is a prominent figure in the field of dentistry at University B, and it is only natural that everyone present, all of whom are professionals in dentistry, knows him well

He responded with two "oh oh" sounds, then picked up a bottle of cola to fill his cup. Just as he opened the cap, before the bottle neck even touched his cup, he slightly lifted it with a finger, creating a separation.

Xu Runqing turned to glance at her, and after a long while, he simply uttered an "mm" before stepping towards the private room

Then Nianxiang heard Song Zizhao asking Xu Runqing: "Senior brother, do you know Nianxiang?"

Xu Runqing's gaze swept across her face before focusing on her mouth. He then inserted his other hand inside, fiddling around for a moment, and then applied a slight pressure.

Xu Runqing casually tossed the pair of chopsticks into the nearby trash can and walked a few steps to the sink to wash his hands

Nianxiang blinked her eyes at him

Song Zizhao clearly did not anticipate this response, but ultimately did not pursue the matter further, instead turning to Xu Runqing to discuss other topics

Nianxiang stood there in a daze for a moment, until she saw his figure about to disappear around the corner, and only then did she react, jogging to catch up: "Doctor Xu, aren't you going to ask me how I got the chopsticks stuck... stuck in the middle of my teeth?"

Unable to resist glancing a few more times, I suddenly came to my senses only when the sound of the dryer started: "Thank you, Dr. Xu..."

The ears of the thought immediately perked up

"Um..." She hesitated for a moment: "Is that car fixed yet?"

Thoughts: `` ... ... ''

When wearing a white coat, I am even more abstinent, but unfortunately, you cannot see it

"Have you found a suitable hospital for your internship in your first year of graduate studies?" After a long pause, he asked again

He only felt that the two teeth beside him that were stuck were becoming increasingly sore and swollen. As he gradually applied force, suddenly there was a release, and the chopsticks were taken out.

Xu Runqing furrowed his brows and turned to look at her: "Do you have something to say to me?"

He cleared his throat with a light cough, then looked at her and said in a lowered voice: "Nianxiang, come out for a moment."

Xu Runqing glanced at her casually, his fingers lightly tapping on the rim of the cup, and he did not speak another word to her

Nianxiang poked half of his head out to take a look, and seeing that there was no one around, he dejectedly followed behind him to move towards the restroom

Nianxiang then quietly turned her head to look at him

Xu Runqing waited until she had left before giving a slight nod to Song Zizhao, who was frowning beside him, and said, "Please excuse me for a moment"

Song Zizhao turned back to glance at Nianxiang, the light in his eyes fragmented: "Is Nianxiang being corrected by Senior Brother Xu?"

The ears of Nianxiang quietly perked up again

The seat that Nianxiang occupied was conveniently located near the entrance, so as soon as Xu Runqing raised her head, the first person she saw was her

Then, Nianxiang saw the man who had just been cold-faced suddenly curve his lips into a smile after the meeting

He tilted his head slightly to look at him and nodded seriously: "I am in my first year of graduate studies this year"

Xu Runqing cast a cold glance at Nianxiang, who was engrossed in eating sweet and sour ribs. The latter, realizing belatedly that a shadow had formed above her head, had not yet reacted when Lan Xiaojun had already pinched the flesh on her arm and yanked her up.

This posture is somewhat impolite

It is merely

Recalling the predicament from just over ten minutes ago, as well as the woman before him who was indifferent to his plight and refused to help, he steeled himself and continued to gnaw on the rib.

After some contemplation... it should be considered as such, for Comrade Lao Nian has given his assurance

During the intermission, Song Zizhao was called away, and Xu Runqing's position was moved next to Nianxiang

The eyes lit up with thought: "How much did the car paint cost? I will bring the money to you when I come over on Wednesday"

Thoughts: "... ..." Don't you want to know the reason? He asked her so that she could answer, not because of being indiscriminate due to hunger... ...

Xu Runqing recalled the Audi parked downstairs and nodded slightly

Her ears were flushed and burning, fearing that others would notice something unusual

The ears of the thought droop back as it continues to laboriously gnaw on the ribs

His smile is captivating, like an iceberg melting under the sun. The layer of aloofness on his face is instantly dissolved by his smile, and the deep darkness in his eyes is illuminated by a faint hint of joy, softening even his brows and eyes.

Lan Xiaojun's grip has become heavier: "Are we friends?"

Isn't it just ... ... chopsticks? ... ... ... are they stuck! ... ? !

"Are you a professional in the field of dentistry?" he asked

Xu Runqing stood beside her, and upon lowering her head, she noticed the vividly red ears, with the blush extending to the neck, creating an undeniable hue of crimson.

Fortunately, there was no one by the sink at that moment, and Nianxiang looked at him with a flushed face, her eyes shimmering with a glistening light.

As Song Zizhao watched Xu Runqing enter, feeling anxious, she blinked twice in an effort to convey the signal that she needed to be rescued.

Then she heard her attending physician respond in a tone that she could not possibly describe: "Not only that, but we also have to deal with some incomprehensible situations..."

Ah? Nianxiang looked at him with a puzzled expression

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the glimmer of water on his fingers, feeling a bit ashamed as she swallowed, momentarily unsure whether to express gratitude or to apologize

Xu Runqing slightly raised her eyebrows, surveying her somewhat peculiar posture from top to bottom. Her right hand held the chopsticks, lightly resting them against her lips, while her left hand was placed on the table, clenched into a fist

Although he did nothing at all, not even allowing his gaze to linger on her for long, the thought lingered that perhaps he was secretly looking down on her in his heart

Nianxiang originally intended to reach for the beef not far away, but after he sat down beside her, he felt that the atmosphere around them had become somewhat stagnant. ... The chopsticks she extended had not yet touched the beef when they fell listlessly onto the cold dishes nearby ...

The thought was startled by that gaze, so I simply buried my head and ate diligently

"Open your mouth," he said, raising his hand to grip her chin firmly, glancing at the place where the chopsticks were stuck: "I didn't bring gloves..."

Xu Runqing glanced at her with an expression that clearly conveyed "You are so foolish": "I have already seen it"

Perhaps due to his profession, he washes his hands meticulously, and his slender fingers, illuminated by the water and light, resemble a delicate work of art

The face of the one lost in thought has turned completely red; at this moment, being called out, they hurriedly walked over with chopsticks still stuck in their mouth. Even so, they could still feel the anxious gazes of the crowd fixed upon them, probing and bewildered.

Seeing that he still did not understand, he glanced around and boldly made a gesture as if to pull out the chopsticks

Suddenly recalling the matter of having a tooth extraction on Wednesday, she then remembered that she still owed him a repair fee. As she pondered over this, she began to feel restless. However, seeing that his attention remained fixed on Song Zizhao, she did not dare to call out to him. Instead, she resorted to her usual tactic—staring at him! She kept staring at him intently! She maintained her unwavering gaze on him without a moment's distraction!

Xu Runqing glanced at the tin of milk in front of her, her brow furrowing slightly. Upon seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, she paused for a moment and said: "I do not like sweet milk"

Suddenly, a half-empty can of Wangzai milk was shoved into my hand, and just like that, it was used to fill the gap... Later, I also raised a toast in respect.

Xu Runqing noticed her gaze shifting towards him, her eyes bright and direct

The thought still cannot be extracted... She doesn't even know where it is stuck, why two chopsticks can be so stubbornly wedged and remain motionless... The fulcrum! Please tell her where the fulcrum is!

Nianxiang rubbed her sore eyes and eagerly opened a can of Wangzai milk, pushing it in front of him: "Doctor Xu, have some milk."

After sitting down again, Lan Xiaojun was already excitedly tugging at her pants, saying: "Wow, this is Xu Runqing... Seeing is believing... He is so handsome!"
