Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Xiao Fen and Dr. Liang Seem Quite Familiar with Each Other Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Xiao Fen and Dr. Liang Seem Quite Familiar with Each Other Liang Zhanbai flashed a smile showing his white teeth and asked Xi Wanfen, “Have you had dinner yet? Shall we go eat first?”
“I haven’t eaten yet.” Actually, Xi Wanfen had eaten two roasted sweet potatoes at the hospital entrance. Normally, she would have considered that her al, but the thought of dining with Liang Zhanbai made her pretend she hadn’t eaten.
Liang Zhanbai suggested, “Shall we go to the spicy hot pot place up ahead?”
“Sure, the weather is cold, so spicy hot pot would be perfect.”
…
The two quickly found themselves seated in the spicy hot pot restaurant, where they each placed an order.
As they ate, Liang Zhanbai asked Xiao Fen, “Weren’t you supposed to et Dr. Su? Why did you turn back at the door? Did you two have a falling out?”
“No.” Xiao Fen said, “Do you rember the last ti we had barbecue together and I told you about a friend’s family?”
“I rember, you ntioned a friend who suddenly discovered that her older sister was not her biological sister and that there was soone else who was.”
Xiao Fen revealed, “Actually, that story happened to .”
“Really? That’s incredible,” Liang Zhanbai feigned surprise.
“The real sister is Sister Su.”
“Oh, what a coincidence?” Liang Zhanbai had guessed the story was about Xiao Fen’s family, but did not realize the real sister was Su ixi.
“Yes, I didn’t expect it either. You know I really adore Sister Su and wish she was my biological sister. However, my original sister threatened to commit suicide, and my parents couldn’t bear to let her die, so they accepted her back.”
Liang Zhanbai couldn’t help but say, “It seems like you don’t have much affection for your current sister.”
“It’s not that I don’t have any feelings for her, but I do prefer Sister Su. Ah, Sister Su must be very sad now. She must feel abandoned again, all because of . That night my parents called while I was on duty, and sohow I ended up calling Sister Su. She saw everything that happened.”
Liang Zhanbai looked sympathetically at Xiao Fen, “I understand you must feel very guilty.”
“Isn’t that the truth? I’ve co here several tis and just couldn’t face seeing Sister Su.”
“But if you don’t see her, how will you know what she’s thinking? Maybe she doesn’t bla you and truly sees you as her sister.”
“But she must be heartbroken. My dad went to see her and her attitude was indifferent, she refused to acknowledge us.”
Liang Zhanbai suggested, “Then how about this, after a while we head back to the Military District, and wait outside her house. If she returns, we can pretend to just be passing by. After all, my aunt lives there too, so we have an excuse. If she’s at ho, then we can simply knock on her door, saying we were passing by and wanted to visit her.”
Xi Wanfen thought for a mont and nodded.
The al was a bit filling for her, but she enjoyed it.
After the al, Liang Zhanbai paid the bill. Xi Wanfen had intended to pay, but he had scanned the code first, so she didn’t argue.
Still, she felt a sweet satisfaction inside.
Watching his departing figure, she always felt he was very responsible.
…
The two returned to the Military District. The guard recognized Xiao Fen; she had often co when Su ixi was hurt, and he also recognized Liang Zhanbai.
The reason they were recognized was because of their striking appearances.
It’s rare for soone to be morable at first glance; often it takes two or three conversations to feel a person is familiar, but so people you rember after just one look.
Xiao Fen and Liang Zhanbai were such people.
They quickly reached Su ixi’s house. No lights were on, so they waited under the tree by her front door.
As night fell, it grew colder. Seeing Xiao Fen shove her hands into her coat pockets and continuously stamp her feet, Liang Zhanbai couldn’t resist pulling a scarf out of his backpack and handing it to her, “Wrap yourself with this.”
Xiao Fen was montarily stunned. He actually had a scarf in his bag?
Upon closer examination, as it was a n’s style, she accepted it.
“Did you buy this scarf or was it… given to you?” Xiao Fen asked.
Liang Zhanbai smiled, “My grandmother gave it to .”
Xiao Fen laughed out loud, “Your grandmother really cares about you.”
“Yes, she raised , how could she not care about ?”
Xiao Fen seized the opportunity to ask him, “What about your parents? Don’t they care about you?”
“They’re too busy, they don’t have much ti for ,” Liang Zhanbai said, “Of course, they still pay for my tuition.”
Xiao Fen laughed again.
“So, where are you from?”
“I’m from Lin City.”
“From the north, no wonder you’re so tall. I heard the barbecue there is really good.”
“It is quite good. Are you interested? If you are, co visit, and I’ll treat you.”
“That’s what you said, no going back on your word.”
“Of course, I won’t go back on my word,” Liang Zhanbai stated.
… As they were chatting, unbeknownst to them, Su ixi had already returned.
That day, Su ixi had gone out to dinner with colleagues after work, which is why she returned late.
From afar, she saw Xi Wanfen and Liang Zhanbai standing at her door; her initial reaction was a relieved smile.
Seeing them like that, they must be getting closer.
She knew that Xiao Fen was a likable girl, and Liang Zhanbai couldn’t possibly dislike her.
As she approached and heard them happily chatting, she felt a bit reluctant to interrupt.
Maybe she should walk around the neighborhood and let them talk a bit longer.
Just as she was about to turn away, Xiao Fen spotted her and called out, “Sister Su, are you off work?”
Su ixi then walked toward them.
She asked, “What are you doing here?”
Xiao Fen replied, “Dr. Liang ca to see his aunt, and we just happened to pass by your house, and it turned out we ran into you coming back.”
Su ixi smiled inwardly, knowing they had been waiting a long ti, seeing Xiao Fen’s nose all red from the cold.
She didn’t expose them but just asked, “Would you like to co in and sit?”
“Sure.”
“Alright.”
Both replied in unison.
Su ixi opened the door and invited them inside.
Once inside, as usual, Su ixi poured them hot tea.
Su ixi asked Liang Zhanbai, “Dr. Liang’s aunt also lives here? Who is she?”
Liang Zhanbai answered, “I’ve heard the sisters here refer to her as Sister Hong.”
“Oh, Sister Hong, I know her well.”
“Right, I first saw you in her friends circle; she often posts there,” Liang Zhanbai smiled.
“Aunt Hong does like posting on social dia. Do you often co here then?”
“Occasionally, about once a month,” Liang Zhanbai replied.
“Then next ti you’re here, we can have dinner together.”
“Sure.”
Su ixi then turned to Xiao Fen, “Xiao Fen and Dr. Liang seem quite familiar with each other.”
