Chapter 27: Need A Companion (2)



Ji Qingying: [I am going to watch the movie.]

Chen Xinyu: [That’s not bad either. You got him to watch a movie with you. You need to have some hope.]

Ji Qingying: [Yeah.]

That being said.

Why was it that she still felt a little unhappy?

She looked up at the big screen with her thoughts flying all over, stuffing the dry and greasy popcorn in her mouth. But she didn’t it didn’t bother her much

While she was lost in her thoughts, she heard a masculine voice speak up from beside her, “Would you like to drink water?”

Taken aback, Ji Qingying stared at him, “Huh?”

Fu Yanzhi looked at the expression on her face and repeated, “Do you want to drink water?”

“…I do.”

Fu Yanzhi opened the lid of the bottle and handed it to her.

Ji Qingying took a couple of sips and only then did she feel that the sweetness was away a great deal, and even the stuffy feeling in her chest had disappeared.

“Thank you.”

Fu Yanzhi closed the bottle’s cap without saying anything.

The woman next to her noticed Fu Yanzhi move around and smiled while saying, “Doctor Fu, about what we talked about just a moment ago——”

“Sorry.”

Fu Yanzhi’s voice sounded cold, “Other matters, we will discuss about them at the next examination.”

The woman got embarrassed and laughed awkwardly, “Okay.”

As Ji Qingying listened, her pursed lips slowly moved upward, into a small arc.

Halfway through the movie. Ji Qingying suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.

So she reached out and poked the arm of the person next to her.

Fu Yanzhi turned around to look at her.

Ji Qingying pursed her lips feeling a little embarrassed, “I want to go to the restroom.”

“Huh?”

He hadn’t heard it.

Ji Qingying paused for a second then leaned to his ear and whispered, “I said I am going to the bathroom.”

Fu Yanzhi felt an indescribable, tingling sensation go through him as her warm breath fell on his ear.

His adam's apple slowly moved up and down and he asked, “You want someone to accompany you?”

Ji Qingying: “…No need.”

Instead, she handed him the popcorn in her hand and said, “I will go through here.”

When Ji Qingying came back from the restroom she found that Fu Yanzhi had changed seats.

Stunned, she glanced at Fu Yanzhi and then at the two women she didn’t know and walked over.

Sitting down, her thoughts weren’t focused on watching the movie anymore.

As she realized that she turned to look at the person next to her, and asked in a low voice, “You changed your seat?”

Fu Yanzhi answered, “Yes” and continued lightly, “There one has a better view.”

Ji Qingying: “…”

As she muttered an “Oh”, she turned her head and inadvertently caught the eye of the woman next to her.

Ji Qingying gave her a slight smile and turned to focus on the movie.

After watching the movie, the two of them exited the place along with the crowd.

Ji Qingying appeared to be in a good mood and so the smile on her face was much more obvious than when she had entered.

Fu Yanzhi glanced at her but said nothing.

When she was about to reach the elevator door, Ji Qingying suddenly frowned and glanced back.

“What?”

Ji Qingying just shook her head and with her eyebrows twisted she replied, “I feel like someone is watching me.”

Fu Yanzhi looked back and found no nothing.

“Your misperception.”

Ji Qingying: “…Maybe they were looking at you.”

Fu Yanzhi said, “Oh, Is that so?”

Ji Qingying snorted, and couldn’t help asking, “Earlier, were those two people family members of a patient?”

“Yes.”

Fu Yanzhi had performed a heart surgery for the father of one of those girls.

For various reasons, patients would need to go back to the hospital for checkups every few months, and Fu Yanzhi would do a follow-up on everything.

And the reason he continued talking to them was also because of that.

Entering the elevator, Ji Qingying gave a simple “Oh”, and said, “Those two were quite beautiful.”

At once, Fu Yanzhi chuckled and for some reason, Ji Qingying felt that this laugh of his was aimed at her.

She stared at him, “What, am I wrong?”

Fu Yanzhi nodded, and lightly replied, “No.”

Ji Qingying: “…”

Why did that sound so unpleasant?

After being silent for a while, she asked out of curiosity, “Don’t you men like beautiful girls?”

His brows rose in question, “We men?”

Ji Qing Ying nodded, “Isn’t that the case?”

Fu Yanzhi stared at her for a while, and to Ji Qingying’s surprise, he nodded.

Her face went blank as she got stunned.

She thought that Fu Yanzhi wouldn’t nod and instead even tell her——

‘I don’t.’

But he actually nodded and admitted, leaving her without the slightest of idea on how to continue.

Thinking about it, Fu Yanzhi was also a normal person, and it was okay for him to like beautiful people.

Not to mention it wasn’t just Fu Yanzhi, but even she herself liked all kinds of beautiful things.

Ji Qingying thought about things like that for a thousand more times.

After being silent for a while she commented, “I knew it was like this.”

Fu Yanzhi was slightly startled, and he simply stared at her not-so-happy face for a moment only to realize what was the matter and then suppress that hint of a smile that appeared in his eyes.

“Yes, but not really.”

Now it was Ji Qingying who looked at him in surprise.

“What do you mean?”

“We men like beautiful women, but we don’t like any beautiful woman.” He turned to look at Ji Qingying, “Can you understand now?”

Ji Qingying: “…”

She silently glanced at him from the corner of her eye and said, “I am not that stupid.”

Fu Yanzhi responded faintly, “Um, let’s go.”

The two drove back home.

The night was breezy, and the view of the Northern City at this time was beautiful and charming.

As the wind blew on her face she became aware of something.

She realized that Fu Yanzhi seemed to have hinted at something with his words just before.

Thinking back on it, she turned her head to look at him, “Did the sentences you said earlier have some other meaning behind them?”

Fu Yanzhi looked at her.

He followed along good-naturedly, “For example?”

Ji Qingying thought for a while, “You mean, the person you like is beautiful as well as bright?”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t admit to it, but he didn’t deny it either.

Ji Qingying’s lips curled as she smiled and she turned her head to look at him, her eyes shining like the stars, “Then look at me.”

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

She readily volunteered, “I seem to be pretty too.”

The author has something to say:

Today a question was asked by Doctor Fu who’s works in a hospital—

What should I do if the wife is too stupid?

Beauty Ji: ?

Online forums: Then you can be more blunt.

Doctor Fu: That doesn’t suit my personality.
