Chapter 252
252 The Replacement
A few days later, Zhang Li Xue went to find Fang Su Jin after work and invited her to dinner.
Initially, Zhang Li Xue had planned to go and find her boyfriend at the hospital. However, the hospital received an emergency patient and Bai Qi had to spend hours in the operation theatre.
Fang Su Jin knew that a certain someone only came to look for her because she could not spend her time with Doctor Bai. She was only the replacement. To get back, Fang Su Jin suggested they have dinner at a vegetarian restaurant.
She had hoped to see Zhang Li Xue’s unhappy face upon seeing the vegetarian dishes on the table. However, Zhang Li Xue was eating the vegetables with a dazed look on her face.
From the look at it, it seemed that Zhang Li Xue did not know what she was eating. She continued to raise her chopsticks and ate the dishes.
“Li Xue, does the dish taste good?”
Hearing the voice, Zhang Li Xue snapped out of her trance. She stared at Fang Su Jin’s face for a few seconds before looking at the vegetables clipped on her chopsticks. “Well, the okra did not taste so bad.”
Fang Su Jin clicked her tongue. “This is strange. When did you start to eat vegetables obediently.”
“Doctor Bai often prepared them for me,” Zhang Li Xue said. “After a while, I think they don’t taste so bad. But of course, I still like chicken wings the best.”
.....
Fang Su Jin chuckled. “I have been telling you that they don’t taste that bad, but you did not listen to me.”
“Then, you can also consider this as the power of Doctor Bai’s love.”
The corner of her lips began to twitch. Fang Su Jin did not believe that once again, she was fed with more dog food.
Thinking about it made her heave a long breath.
Suddenly, she was jealous that Zhang Li Xue had found her other half.
As someone who loved to watch dramas, Fang Su Jin too had hoped that she would find a person who she can fall in love with and that man would treat her well.
But, she also knew that life might not be as dreamy as in a romance drama that she often watched. At this time, Fang Su Jin did not have high hope for the person she will marry.
“That’s right. Su Jin, didn’t you say that your mother made you go on a blind date? Zhang Li Xue spoke. “What happened to it?”
“It went alright.” Fang Su Jin answered with a shrug. “I don’t have much opinion about him. Li Xue, you should know that Liu’s eldest son, right?”
“The Liu Industry?”
“Un.”
Zhang Li Xue frowned as a face appeared in her mind. “Liu Fang? You went on a blind date with Liu Fang?”
Fang Su Jin nodded. “Un. Un. That was him.”
Zhang Li Xue tapped her finger on the table as she thought of that man. “Well, he did not look too bad.” In her opinion, her Doctor Bai was the most good-looking.
Fang Su Jin let out another heavy sigh. “But he’s quite boring. He did not talk too much and would prefer to listen to his mother’s conversation with my mom.”
“So the blind date did not go that well?”
“My mother thinks that I should try and spend a little more time with him.” Fang Su Jin pulled a face. “She said, one meeting is not enough for me to get to know him well. She said that I should try to go out with him a few more times before I make my decision.”
“But, you don’t like him.”
“There’s something about him that I don’t feel comfortable with.”
Zhang Li Xue’s eyes turned darker. “What is it? Did he bully you?” If Fang Su Jin answered her with a yes, Zhang Li Xue would not hesitate to find that man and beat him up.
“No. It’s just that my instinct tells me that we would not work out.”
“If you don’t think it won’t work out, then it won’t work out.” Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips as a thought came to her mind. “Do you want me to investigate him? I know some people...”
“Forget it. It’s just a blind date. Don’t be too serious.”
“If you change your mind, you can always find me.” Zhang Li Xue clipped another piece of the okra and ate them happily.
“I am thinking that maybe I should talk to my teacher and tell him that I wanted to hold another exhibition,” Fang Su Jin said. “It seemed that this would be the best way for me to stop my mother from setting up with that person.”
The two of them chatted briefly.
Once they finished their meal, Zhang Li Xue let the restaurant pack some takeaway boxes so that she could feed her boyfriend.
Her Doctor Bai should be hungry after long hours in the operation theatre, right?
Zhang Li Xue also bought a few more takeaways for Nurse Tian and the others. After spending her time at the hospital, her relationships with a few of the nurses and doctors were quite good.
After paying for their meal, Zhang Li Xue was about to leave when Fang Su Jin suddenly tugged at her sleeve.
“Li Xue, look.” Fang Su Jin pointed her finger in a direction. “Isn’t that Brother Mu Zhen Yu?”
Zhang Li Xue looked in that direction and nodded. “It seems like it.”
In a distance, Mu Zhen Yu was seen together with a woman by his side. This woman was also someone that Zhang Li Xue had met a few times previously.
Seeing Mu Zhen Yu reminded her of their last conversation. After she left the restaurant, the two of them never contacted each other again.
“Do you think he’s dating that woman?”
“Maybe.” Zhang Li Xue smiled. “It would be good if he started dating someone.” This way, she could also tell that he had moved on.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Li Xue headed to the hospital and dropped off some meals for the staff in Bai Qi’s department. Seeing that Bai Qi was still not done with his work, she could only head back home earlier.
Just as she stepped into the house, Zhang Li Xue noticed that the atmosphere was a little different. She walked into the living room and found that her brother, Zhang Yi Hai was playing with his phone.
The young man noticed some movement and turned around. “Sister.” Zhang Yi Hai smiled.”You are back.”
