Chapter 33: Drunk Night (4)

Chen Xinyu said “Oh” and said lightly, “To dispel greasiness.”

Ji Qingying: “I am hungry.”

Rongxue quickly said, “Sit down and I will cook for you.”

She was good at cooking, and Ji Qingying also liked to eat the food that Rongxue made.

The other two sat down and laid their backs against the sofa.

After it had been quiet for a while, Chen Xinyu kicked her foot lightly.

Ji Qingying opened her eyes to turn towards her.

“What happened to you last night?”

Chen Xinyu glanced at her. “You drank more than me. What’s the matter?”

So far, the person who understood Ji Qingying the best was Chen Xinyu.

She said “um” and whispered, “I forgot to tell you, Sun Yijia told me something a few days ago.”

Chen Xinyu stared at her for a while and asked in a low voice, “Was it something related to those two?”

Ji Qingying looked at her with a surprised expression.

Chen Xinyu pulled on her lower lip and said lightly, “It’s only when it comes to those two people, that your good mood gets ruined.”

Ji Qingying kept quiet.

After a while she said, “I hadn’t thought about all those things for a long time now. But when I thought about them again last night, I felt disgusted.”

Chen Xinyu stretched out her hand and rubbed her head. “Then don’t think about it. It is not worth it.”

“Yeah.”

Ji Qingying laid down on the sofa for a while and suddenly she remembered. “Where is my phone?”

Chen Xinyu: “…Search for it.”

At 12:30 pm, Ji Qingying showed up at the hospital with the sweet and sour pork ribs as an apology.

She had just learned how to make this after being taught by Rongxue.

After finding her mobile phone at home an hour ago, Ji Qingying saw the sporadic messages that had been sent by Fu Yanzhi.

At 10 o’clock, he asked her whether she was awake.

At 10:30 pm, he asked her if her head was hurting.

Until 11 o’clock when he asked Ji Qingying——

Are you planning to abscond in fear of getting caught for your crimes?

Although Ji Qingying couldn’t remember what she had done, from reading Fu Yanzhi’s messages, she felt that she must have done something bad.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that.

Thinking that, Ji Qingying became particularly guilty.

So she silently took her mobile phone into the kitchen and asked Rongxue to teach her how to cook.

She hoped that Fu Yanzhi would see how sincerely she wanted to apologize and be lenient.

Fu Yanzhi hadn’t gone to work yesterday and was a little busy in the morning.

When he came out of the department, he was about to enter the lift when he came face to face with the person who was about to get out.

The two looked at each other and Fu Yanzhi quickly said, “Wait for me in the office.”

“…Oh.”

Ji Qingying looked at the closed lift, thought about Fu Yanzhi’s face and deeply thought——

She still could be saved.

There was no one in Fu Yanzhi’s department.

Ji Qingying had come so many times that the nurses weren’t even surprised anymore.

“Qingying, Doctor Fu just left.”

“I know.”

Ji Qingying smiled. “I just ran into him.”

The nurse smiled and pointed, “Then go in and wait for him. Dr. Xu is not there either.”

Ji Qingying nodded. “Thank you.”

After entering, Ji Qingying closed the door carefully.

For some reason, she was a little nervous.

Ji Qingying had eaten enough at home, so she wouldn’t be too hungry.

She looked around and saw that Fu Yanzhi’s office still felt cold and cheerless. The smell of disinfectant was as strong as ever.

She went over to the window and pushed it open letting the sunlight and wind come inside.

The sunlight was still warm, making people comfortable just by feeling the warmth on their skin.

The light and shadow made a small circle in the office.

Ji Qingying was feeling bored and sleepy because of sitting in the sun.

Fu Yanzhi returned from his busy schedule and he saw this scene.

Ji Qingying was lying on the table and fell asleep with her face facing sideways.

He paused and so even the sound of closing the door had softened due to his carefulness.

Fu Yanzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the light from the blinds.

After thinking for a few seconds, he got up and wanted to pull her up, but before he got close, Ji Qingying already woke up.

“You are finished.”

She looked at him sleepily.

Fu Yanzhi said “En”, and looked at her. “Are you sleepy?”

“Nope.”

Ji Qingying rubbed her eyes. “It is just that the sun is too comfortable.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

He glanced at what was on the table and asked in a low voice, “What is this?”

“It is lunch.”

Ji Qingying got up and opened the box.

After looking at the food inside, Fu Yanzhi asked, “Did you cook it yourself?”

“En.”

Ji Qingying nodded. “I asked Rongxue to teach me. It isn’t that good, but do you want to give it a try?”

After speaking, she quickly added, “Of course it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to give it a try.”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t say anything.

He glanced at her worried look and suddenly said, “Last night…”

As soon as he mentioned about the night before, Ji Qingying readily admitted, “I was wrong.”

Fu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and suppressed the smile in his eyes. “Why were you wrong?”

Ji Qingying blinked and stared at him blankly.

Fu Yanzhi paused and thought of a certain possibility.

“Don’t know?”

“…Wrong because I wasn’t supposed to drink?”

Fu Yanzhi looked at her straight and asked faintly, “I don’t remember”

He said it in a very certain manner.

Ji Qingying wanted to cry but didn’t have the tears to cry and explained in a low voice, “I only remember everything in bits and pieces when I get drunk.”

Fu Yanzhi understood everything clearly from that and changed the subject. “How many times have you gotten drunk before in the past?”

“Hah?”

Ji Qingying was stunned. “What?”

Fu Yanzhi repeated, “Do you drink often in the past?”

“No, no.”

Ji Qingying shook her head, denying, “Only just a few times.”

She glanced at Fu Yanzhi’s face which expressed his not-so-good impressions and muttered, “I don’t get drunk that easily.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

He laughed out loud. “Your alcohol tolerance is good?”

Ji Qingying pursed her lips and said anxiously, “…It is okay.”

Hearing this, Fu Yanzhi nodded and continued to ask, “Then last night, how many times did you knock on my door while you were drunk?”

As soon as those words were said out loud Ji Qingying quickly confessed, “Once.”

Under Fu Yanzhi’s gaze, she raised her index finger, “I have never done this before.”

Fu Yanzhi looked at her nervous self and suddenly smiled. “It means, you only knocked on the door of my house.”

His tone was again affirmative.

He had gotten a tight hold of Ji Qingying’s considerations of being careful in her replies.

Ji Qingying: “…”

She nodded in resignation and whispered, “I’m not willing to knock when others want me to.”

Fu Yanzhi became speechless listening to her words.

He paused and said lightly, “I am honored to hear you say that.”

“…”

Ji Qingying felt that she was on the guillotine at this moment, waiting to be put to death by decapitation.

She touched the back of her neck and looked up at him. “Don’t say anything.”

She said, “The more you say, the more I want to die. I keep feeling that I didn’t behave like a human last night and took advantage of you.”

All of sudden, Fu Yanzhi nodded again. “En.”

Ji Qingying stared at him. “Huh, what?”

Fu Yanzhi looked at her and said unhurriedly, “Last night you…”

He deliberately paused and looked at her wide eyes and continued again, “You really did take advantage of me.”

The author has something to say: Beauty Ji: ?

Doctor Fu: Think about how you want to compensate.

Beauty Ji: Then how about I let you take it back?

Doctor Fu: ….
