Lin Hao glanced at Lin Rou Rou, and vaguely smiled at Ye Qian, he said: “Er Ge, I will go inside first; you chat with her.”
Ye Qian naturally understood the meaning of Lin Hao’s smiling expression; he definitely misunderstanding his relationship with Lin Rou Rou. However Ye Qian did not plan to explain. These kinds of matters were more unclear the more it is explained. Ye Qian did not antic.i.p.ate that Lin Rou Rou would unexpectedly be this concerned about him; his feelings were somewhat amidst clouds. Could this girl truly like him? Ye Qian inwardly thought.
After seeing Lin Hao walk into the ward, Ye Qian smiled and said: “I’m alright. I’m here aren’t I? I am fine; thank you for being concerned about me.
Yesterday night, Lin Rou Rou came to work on her night shift duties - specifically running into Lao Die’s room - only to discover that Ye Qian wasn’t there. As a result, she took an indirect approach and she started to make inquiries and then found out that Ye Qian was arrested by the police station so she couldn’t help but to worry endlessly. The whole night, Lin Rou Rou was anxious and felt as though she were burnt and in flames. She was absent-minded at all of her tasks, and now, finally seeing Ye Qian, the stone within her heart was finally released. Hearing Ye Qian speak, Lin Rou Rou felt that she now showed too much excitement, and her face couldn’t help but faintly blush in endless shyness. “It’s good that you are okay; I’ll go ahead now.” Lin Rou Rou discovered that at this moment she couldn’t look straight at the eyes of Ye Qian. At the corner of her eye’s peripheral vision she caught a glimpse of Ye Qian and the pit of her stomach felt restless. After she finished speaking, Lin Rou Rou left as though she were running away.
TL: Restless - “like a deer running away in disorder” was the idiom for this.
Ye Qian stared blankly at Lin Rou Rou’s movements. Seeing Lin Rou Rou’s figure from behind as she left Ye Qian started to call out: “Are you free tonight? I’m inviting you to dinner!”
Lin Rou Rou stopped taking her steps, but she didn’t dare to turn around, in a moment she softly replied : ”Six O"clock tonight, I will wait for you at the gate of the hospital.” After speaking, she urgently began to run a way. Returning to the nurse room, Lin Rou Rou shut the door close. “Bang!”. Patting her red rosy cheeks and taking several deep threats, she mumbled to herself: ”What is going on with me?” But recalling her getting invited to a meal just a moment ago, Lin Rou Rou could not help but smile and happily giggle.
After seeing Lao Die, Lin Hao and Ye Qian went out to find a restaurant to sit in. Originally, they wanted to invite eldest brother Zhao Gang to come over, but no one was answering the phone. Lin Hao understood that Zhao Gang was at the capital of the military district, and it wasn’t easy to spare time to come back.
After several small dishes, Lin Hao began to speak: “Er Ge, where have you been all these years? Why haven’t you gotten in touch with our home?”
“All along I was abroad!” Ye Qian simply said.
Lin Hao knew that Ye Qian was unwilling to speak, no longer forcing him again, continued on to said: “ Er Ge, I heard about the matter with Lao Die. I considered of forgetting about it. Now the entire city office was just aiming to keep the peace and order, if you make a huge ruckus it won’t be good for you, in addition, the opposing party some amount of influence here.
Ye Qian coldly snorted, then said: “My matter I can forget, but the matter of injuring Lao Die absolutely cannot be forgotten. Lao san, could it be that now as an official you have forgotten the kindness of Lao Die? If not for Lao Die, would you and I have the opportunity to leisurely have a meal here? Would you still have the opportunity to be a Bureau Chief of this district?”
“Er Ge, you are stabbing a knife at my heart. Am I, Lin Hao, the type of person who forgets favors and kicks at his benefactor?” Lin Hao said.
Seeing the expression of Lin Hao, Ye Qian knew what he just said was too grave, in a lighter tone he said: “Sorry, I had been excessive. However, Lao San, this matter I will not so easily give up unless he personally comes over to give Lao Die an apology.
Upon seeing Ye Qian’s firm expression, Lin Hao slightly sighed, not trying again to urge him. Ye Qian character was very clear, if not for a heavy pa.s.sion for justice, he wouldn’t have stabbed a certain gangster for his elder brother and forced himself to flee this country. “Er Ge, any matter you want to talk about you can just call me through to phone to talk about“ Lin Hao said.
Slightly nodding his head, Ye Qian said: “I will. Let’s not talk about this any further. That’s right, I heard you got married, and Er Ge still hasn’t congratulated you.”
Mentioning his wife He Mei, Lin Hao couldn’t help but to expose a smiling expression filled with happiness. At that time He Mei was indeed the campus belle in the school, the amount of people pursuing her were continually increasing, but it was still Lin Hao, this poor young fellow, that at last pulled out on top - taking her as wife and then bringing her home. Now she was a doctor of the munic.i.p.al hospital and at the beginning of this year they just had a child, a simple life of a family of three is truly sweet. Even more important was that He Mei’s behavior was virtuous, at the time Lin Hao requested Lao Die to live at their house, He Mei did not even show any signs of refusal of this wish. Even more, she went together with Lin Hao personally to invite Lao Die to live with them except that ultimately Lao Die did not agree. “Er Ge, you are not young anymore, you want me to ask He Mei to introduce you to someone? She has a lot of fellow students that haven’t gotten married yet - the cream of the crop of beautiful women.” Lin Hao said.
Ye Qian shook his head, then said: “Forget about it, they are people that have graduated from famous universities, why would they fancy this poor young fellow.”
“Er Ge, I don’t believe you are inferior to anyone.” Lin Hao sincerely said.
Ye Qian slightly smiled, then said: “Don’t praise me this much; know myself, I can easily become conceited.”
Seeing Ye Qian’s tranquil and calm appearance, Lin Hao felt happy and exposed a smile. In his heart, he always felt guilty towards Ye Qian. For a moment he felt as though a storm of repressed emotions filled his heart as he was confronting Ye Qian. Now, seeing Ye Qian’s relaxed manner, his heart felt much better.
Actually regarding emotional matters, Ye Qian had always been relatively laid-back. He slept with a lot of women. But when he thought about it carefully, it seems like he has never fully crossed over to being in love, and he felt a little bit of regret about this.
The lunch concluded to a close with a pleasant atmosphere. Lin Hao hinted that he could possibly a.s.sist Ye Qian in finding a job, but the latter refused. It wasn’t that he did not receive the affection of Lin Hao, but rather that he did not feel it was necessary to trouble him. He also was not on a shortage of money and finding a job was merely to make Lao Die feel at ease. There was no need to worry that he would go back to his old ways of fooling around all day.
Lin Hao originally drove Ye Qian to the hospital, but he suddenly received a call from the office and was forced to rush back. On the way back to the hospital, Ye Qian called the phone number of Xiao Long Nu. She already a.s.sisted him in finding the person, but he still hadn"t paid the other half of the money. What’s important about being a person was the trust, moreover it was not necessary to provoke any trouble for money.
Receiving Ye Qian’s call at this moment, Xiao Long Nu was felt very happy, but Ye Qian simply said that at evening he would send to the money over to her, and then hung up the phone. Xiao Long Nu in her heart was extremely furious, never before did a man treat her this way. However, she changed her mind and suddenly thought that this man appeared to have even more flavor - a challenging nature.
