Chen Ruo Yu spent the whole day worrying. In the end, nothing happened.
The Mongolian doctor had suddenly disappeared. No text messages, no phone calls and did not suddenly appeared in front of her. This had caused her to look at her cellphone for the whole day. Her worry now, about the last time she had leaked out her house address, was all in vain.
Could it be, that having a good night's sleep caused Meng Gu to have a guilty conscience? After waking up he realized his behavior was shameful and hateful, so decided not to settle the scores with her.
Liang SiSi had noticed that this morning when Chen Ruo Yu left for work, she was distracted. At night, when she returned home from work, she was still in a trance. Liang SiSi could not help but ask.. "What is going on with you lately?"
Chen Ruo Yu thought for a while about what she should say. "I have provoked someone that I shouldn't have."
Liang SiSi seriously looked at her for a while and said. "Ruo Yu, your appearance tells me that you have fallen in love with someone you shouldn't love."
"Ah?" What kind of eyes does she have? Chen Ruo Yu kept shook her head. "No.., no. I didn't fall in love." Eight hundred years ago, she had stopped loving him. No, that's wrong, it should be.... before she had fallen in love, she decided she could not love him.
"But this time your anxiety is totally different from the fear you felt for those two bastards who had assaulted you."
Ah, Yes... that matter with those two bastards is still not settled. She almost forgot about it after being discharged these two days.
"So what's the situation of your relationship with the person you provoked?"
Chen Ruo Yu was drawn back from her thoughts when she was asked this question. She thought for a while and said. "It is a friend's friend. We had a misunderstanding earlier on and the two of us dislike each other. From time to time, he would cause me trouble...No, that's wrong, he's not troublesome... you know, only a bit irritating."
"I don't know. What do I know?" Liang SiSi shook her head.
"SiSi!"
"Oh...." Liang SiSi seriously answered her.
Chen RuoY u felt a bit rattled, so she stood up and took two steps forward, waved her hands and rephrased her words. "That is to say, there's an annoying man who always comes and provokes you. What will you do?"
"He wants to chase you?"
"No, of course not." Chen Ruo Yu was startled. "He doesn't want to chase me."
"If he doesn't want to chase you, then what's the point of provoking you?" Chen Ruo Yu was stunned. What kind of logic is this?
"I haven't seen a man who doesn't want to chase you and would come around to mess with you. When he's not sick." Liang SiSi's tone of voice was like a master's, "So, Ruo Yu, are you sure?"
"I'm sure he doesn't want to chase me."
"How about you?"
"What?"
"What are you worried about?" What's she worried about? She just told her, didn't she?
Chen Ruo Yu paced, why is she having difficulty communicating with SiSi?
Liang SiSi stared at her figure pacing back and forth, then suddenly she became excited. "Ruo Yu, Ruo Yu.. are you now walking the path of joyful enemies?"
"Ah?" Being enemies is correct but joyful is definitely not.
"A man and a woman, two of them dislike each other and after a series of misunderstandings and entanglements, they finally realized the other party is their true love. This is a classic trope in love stories." Liang SiSi shrugged her shoulders. "I have had two relationships that ran along this kind of romantic path.""No, I like men who are gentle and considerate." She's already disillusioned by men who are cheerful and humorous. She feels men who are gentle and considerate are more reliable. "He likes women who are delicate and beautiful." Like Nurse Tian....
Liang SiSi was silent for three seconds and then she asked.. "What type of a man is he?"
Chen Ruo Yu thought hard and finally said, "the ruthless type."
Liang SiSi nodded. "He sounds very manly."
Chen Ruo Yu's face was filled with black lines. How did this judgment come about?
"Five big, three thick?"* Liang SiSi continued to ask.
**('Five big' refers to big ears, shoulders, hands, buttocks and feet. 'Three thick' refers to thick legs, waist and neck. In short, this refers to a tall, thick and burly man.)**
"No, tall and lean."
"Handsome?"
"En...a little bit." In fact, Chen Ruo Yu thinks Meng Gu is very handsome in the bottom of her heart. If not, she would not be so riled up to have chased after him. Thinking about this, it was really his handsome appearance that attracted her.
"What's his occupation?"
"Doctor." Liang SiSi asked continuously and Chen Ruo Yu subconsciously answered.
"En..." Liang SiSi pondered for five seconds. "Ruo Yu, you think he's very annoying, right?"
"Correct."
"This matter is easy to handle."
"How?"
"I'm the delicate and beautiful kind of woman." Liang SiSi said sincerely.
Chen Ruo Yu was startled. She looked at Liang SiSi from top to bottom...she was really a beautiful woman. She's not as tall as Nurse Tian but her temperament is gentler than Nurse Tian, with facial features that are undeniably beautiful. That's why she has always been lucky in love affairs. If she's an ugly woman, how could she have had so many chance encounters that stimulate love?
Chen Ruo Yu was still somewhat distracted. Liang SiSi continued, "I just happen to have this open period without a boyfriend and I have never dated a brutal, handsome, tall and upright doctor before. So you can introduce him to me, I will tame him and ensure he will not have the leisure time to trouble you."
Chen Ruo Yu opened her mouth and then felt that this was definitely not within the scope of the plan she had imagined. "This, what if he's really sick?" Didn't SiSi say a man who does not want to chase her, but troubled her.. is definitely a sick man? Is this a good reason for her refusal to introduce him to SiSi?
"He's a doctor. What kind of illness can he have?" Liang SiSi boldly waved her hand. "Doctors are under great stress and sometimes their temper is not good. Who knows, maybe you have made him unhappy? You can rest assured I will conquer him and ask him why he's upset with you. Then the both of you can reach a compromise and resolve your grudges so that you'll not be bothered."
Logically, there's nothing wrong but Chen Ruo Yu still felt that something's not right. Chen Ruo Yu bit her lip and was in deep thought. Actually, she was not happy to do this even though it sounds like it'll be for her own good.
"Ruo Yu, then it's settled. Look for an opportunity and we can arrange for a chance encounter with him. You help introduce us to each other and the rest you don't need to bother with, I will take care of it."
The words 'Take care of it' sounded powerful but Chen Ruo Yu felt that the journey ahead is hazy, extremely dangerous and life-threatening.
Her phone rang just as she didn't know how to answer and deal with SiSi. Chen RuoYu said. "I will answer the call." And then she fled.The call was from Guo Yu Lan. She said that Lei Feng's fiancee was back and Yin Ze had invited them for a gathering and dinner. Gao Yu Lan asked whether Chen RuoYu would like to join them.
"Police Officer Lei's fiancee?" Chen Ruo Yu's eyes widen. "I'm going...I'm going! Reserve a seat for me!"
Gao Yu Lan laughed. "I knew it, so I hurriedly called to ask you. Come quickly, we're in Yin Ze's restaurant."
Yin Ze's restaurant is called 'Food', a restaurant with character and style. After Chen RuoYu had changed her clothes, she picked up her bag and rushed out. Liang SiSi was waiting in the living room for her to discuss the plan for the chance encounter further. Chen Ruo Yu said she had some personal matter to attend to and then disappeared instantly.
Gao Yu Lan's phone call had come at the perfect time. Not only did Gao Yu Lan help her avoid a difficult situation just now but at the same time, Chen Ruo Yu could also satisfy the curiosity that she had harbored for a long time. Finally, she can meet the beloved fiancee of Police Officer Lei.
This gossip news had surprised both her and Gao Yu Lan. It was said that Lei Feng's family has money and power. His father is the director of the Public Security Department and his mother is the director of the Taxation Bureau. Although he lived a luxurious life, from young he was brought up with strict parental discipline. His parents loved him but never controlled him. He, Yin Ze and Meng Gu had been studying in the same middle school but he was very low-key in school. But the cool, quiet young man was quite spirited, Yin Ze and Meng Gu got to know him through fighting and eventually, they became great buddies.
Lei Feng's love story described in Yin Ze's words, 'Since young, he was cold with a target in sight, bold and reckless with no shame.' When he was very young he had taken a liking for a girl, so since primary school, he had treated the girl as his own. However, the girl was indeed a good girl, although under oppressive pressure from Lei Feng, she still persisted in her ideals and went abroad to study art. Of course, her fellow student Lei Feng had boldly and with great determination, sponsored her studies which resulted in her repaying him by giving him her heart.
This story had made both Gao Yu Lan and Chen Ruo Yu full of curiosity. What kind of a girl is she, a girl who can get such a strong hold on Lei Feng?
In Chen RuoYu's heart, there was a faint feeling of excitement. After she had got onto the bus, she immediately thought of something. She called Gao Yu Lan. "Lan Lan, I'm on my way now. That... who will be there tonight?"
"Just Police Officer Lei and his girlfriend, Yin Ze and me, sister Yin Ning and Niu Niu. Its seems Dr. Meng has something to do, I overheard Yin Ze call him."
Chen Ruo Yu felt at ease. Yin Ning is Yin Ze's sister and Niu Niu is Yin Ning's daughter. She knew all these people and they also get along well. The most important thing is that Dr. Meng is not there, then it's safe. She spoke to Gao Yu Lan for a little while longer and then hung up the call.
When she arrived, she ran up to the third floor of Yin Ze's restaurant where a table of people was talking enthusiastically.
Lei Feng was sitting beside a girl who looked sweet and well-behaved. His face showed happy smiles from time to time, he would turn around his head to look at the girl with tenderness in his eyes.
Chen Ruo Yu's heart felt envious. This is called a gentleman.
When everyone saw Chen Ruo Yu had arrived, they immediately arranged a seat for her and also introduced her. Lei Feng's fiancee's name is Ding Xiao Yun, a delicate name that really suited her. The room was abuzz with lively conversation when suddenly someone walked in through the door. A loud voice sounded. "My dear, are you back? Come, let me give you a hug!"
When Chen Ruo Yu heard his voice, she immediately stiffened. Damn! Why is he here?
Because of the contents of that threatening text message, hearing 'My dear' startled her, and the 'let me hug you' that followed after really made her head feel numb.
Fortunately, Lei Feng instantly reacted and Chen Ruo Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Lei Feng said, "Damn! You're behaving just like Yin Ze." Actually, his fiancee Xiao Yun just returned, they should be spending intimate time together but in the end, Yin Ze wanted to hold a gathering to celebrate Xiao Yun's return home. The fact is gatherings can be held at any time but they only wanted to disturb him.
Meng Gu smirked and ignored Lei Feng. He really ran over to Xiao Yun and hugged her. Then Lei Feng pushed him away and said. "Get lost!"
Yin Ze on the other side cooly said, "Aiya..your temper is too short and someone is so violent."
Lei Feng answered. "Wait until I'm free then I'll show the two of you... my bad temper."
Yin Ze and Meng Gu held their hands over their heart and said together. "We're so scared!"
Watching these two people made Chen Ruo Yu amused and her lips curved. Then she saw Meng Gu sit down opposite her and give her a glance. She controlled her expression, lowered her head to look at her cup and drank some water.
On the other side, Yin Ze was making a fuss and wanted to drink to this grand event. Meng Gu supported him and joined in rowdily. Lei Feng stared at them and in his heart, he knew these two rascals were trying to get him drunk so that He could not ****.
"I'm not drinking. I have to drive."
"Let Xiao Yun drive."
"She has just returned. It's not safe for her."
"Take a taxi home."
"Can't bear to leave my car."
"You don't have the guts."
"No need to prove it to you so save it."
Ding Xiao Yun who had kept quiet all along, was laughing as she watched them, finally spoke up. "Everyone should not be drinking. Yin Ze, Meng Gu... the two of you have to drive too. Safety's important."
"Aiyo... the husband sings and the wife follows*. I don't have to drive, my sister can drive." Yin Ze then used Yin Ning as his shield.
**(The husband sings and the wife follows means.. marital harmony.)**
"I also don't have to drive. Chen Ruo Yu will send me back."
Chen Ruo Yu who was holding her cup watching the lively banter almost choked when she heard Meng Gu. When did she say she'll send this Mongolian doctor home? They do not have this type of relationship, okay? She secretly snuck a peek at Meng Gu and saw that he and Yin Ze were concentrating on their verbal duel with Lei Feng and he did not even look at her.
Chen Ruo Yu took a sip of water...well, the Mongolian doctor had just casually said it, she should not take it seriously.
