Chapter 107 Eating
Bai Yuze didn't answer, but simply took the woman, who resembled a tree kangaroo, off his arm and said somewhat helplessly, "Let's talk about it again when Xiaoqing forgives you."
His gaze shifted to the windowsill where the medicine was dispensed: "I'm going to get my medicine."
"Okay~" This time, Ning Zixuan obediently let go of his hand and smiled as she watched him stand up.
She came to the hospital today because her stomach was a little uncomfortable. She took advantage of the weekend to come and get checked out, and she didn't expect to run into Bai Yuze. This was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
However, her gaze shifted to the other party's prescription, and her expression became somewhat grave. Based on her understanding of Bai Yuzhe's personality, the hidden medical record was probably not good news.
Please don't do that!
The male and female protagonists fall in love.
The story then devolves into a tragic tale where the male lead is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
When Bai Yuze returned with the medicine, Ning Zixuan's worried expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a happy smile.
She didn't bother to look at the names of the medicines the other person had.
In some ways, this male teacher was exceptionally sensitive. Since Bai Yuze didn't want her to know, there was no need to force her.
"Teacher Bai, the weather is sunny and the spring breeze is just right today. How about we go for a walk?"
Bai Yuze put the medicine away and looked up at the sky outside the window. The sky was covered by thick clouds, like a huge gray curtain hanging in the sky, revealing a heavy and oppressive atmosphere at all times, and not a trace of sunlight could be seen.
He shook his head, preparing to refuse.
"Oh, is this Teacher Bai?"
On the other side of the corridor,
A friendly voice came from afar.
The two turned around, and Bai Yuze saw two familiar figures: Chen Yao, dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, and her mother.
In the wide corridor,
A somewhat haggard-looking woman was pushing a wheelchair down the corridor, with the young girl in the wheelchair leaning to one side.
He was looking down at the endless stream of people coming and going.
When I heard my mother calling my name,
The girl raised her head and looked at Bai Yuze, who was leaning against the glass railing on the second floor. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, like clear and joyful autumn water.
Now, she seems to be in much better spirits than before.
"Good morning, Teacher Bai."
"Hello, Chen Yao."
Upon seeing the familiar figures, Bai Yuzhe smiled slightly and greeted them, "Teacher Bai, what brings you here?"
Chen's mother pushed Chen Yao closer slowly, her gaze towards Bai Yuze filled with doubt.
Generally, healthy people don't want to go to the hospital.
Now that Teacher Bai is in the hospital, it's hard not to think of other things.
In response, Bai Yuze glanced at Ning Zixuan beside him and chuckled softly, "My friend is sick, and she's too scared to come alone, so I came with her."
Then Wen turned his head and began to introduce himself to the others:
"This is Ning Zixuan, my childhood playmate. She just returned to China this year due to some business and is a little unfamiliar with Yeqiu City."
"This is Chen Yao, my student. She has excellent grades and is very cute and beautiful. This is Chen Yao's mother..."
""
Ning Zixuan nodded, stood up with a smile, and extended her palm: "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
"Hello." Chen Yao's mother shook hands with Ning Zixuan.
"Hello, my name is Chen Yao, and I am Teacher Bai's student."
Sitting in her wheelchair, Chen Yao greeted her with a smile, her gaze lingering on the woman for a few seconds. As she looked at her, a strange sense of repulsion inexplicably arose within her; the feeling wasn't strong, but it was rather odd.
"Um, Mr. Bai, is it convenient for us to talk?" Chen's mother glanced at Bai Yuze and asked softly.
"Okay." Bai Yuze nodded.
After the two reached the stairwell, Chen's mother paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Teacher Bai, I know you are a very responsible teacher, but I think you could go a little later tomorrow."
"It's alright." Bai Yuzhe sensed the worry in the other person's voice, but still shook his head.
Seeing this, Chen's mother stopped saying anything.
On the other side, Ning Zixuan scrutinized Chen Yao, her gaze lingering on her. "Um, Chen Yao, may I ask you a question?"
After Chen's mother left, Chen Yao's smile faded considerably, and she looked somewhat indifferent. However, when she heard the other person's question, she still nodded.
"kindness."
"Can you tell me what kind of person Teacher Bai is at school? Does she have any dark history or anything like that?" Ning Zixuan asked with a light laugh.
"Um, she's very gentle and sometimes likes to joke around. She's a kind and approachable teacher. As for her dark history, I don't think she has any. Her only flaw is that she's a bit of a slacker. Many times, we had to grade her own Chinese exams."
Chen Yao recalled for a moment and spoke slowly, her gaze also taking in the woman in front of her.
Could this be Teacher Bai's girlfriend?
It looks quite pretty.
"Haha, I see." Ning Zixuan recalled for a moment, and it seemed that this really was Bai Yuze's style.
Afterwards, the four chatted for a few minutes, and then Chen's mother pushed Chen Yao back to the ward.
After saying goodbye to Chen Yao and her daughter, Bai Yuzhe saw Ning Zixuan following closely behind and already sitting on the back of the electric scooter. He couldn't refuse her request any longer.
"Would you like me to take you back to your hotel?"
"No, let's go to your house. It's been so long since I've had your cooking. Do you have enough groceries at home? Should we go to the market and buy some?"
"No need, we have some at home." Bai Yuzhe thought for a moment and then declined.
The distance from Yeqiu City General Hospital to the residential compound wasn't short. When the two walked into the compound one after the other...
It was already noon.
Ning Zixuan walked at the front, looking at the unchanged neighborhood, as if she had returned to a few years ago.
At that time,
The three children were playing jump rope downstairs, while Bai Yuze sat next to them, helping them with their homework.
With the blink of an eye, everything changes.
If she hadn't left back then, she would probably be in a relationship with Bai Yuzhe by now, and at least she wouldn't have experienced what followed, her life completely changed.
Thinking of this,
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"arrive."
Bai Yuze's words brought Ning Zixuan, who was standing behind him in a daze, back to reality.
Looking up again,
It was that familiar iron gate again.
Several years have passed,
It seems that nothing has changed.
"Come in."
Bai Yuzhe took a pair of girls' slippers from the shoe rack and placed them in front of her. "These belong to Bai Youqing. They might not fit perfectly, but you can wear them for now."
"fine."
For some inexplicable reason, Ning Zixuan's mood improved considerably.
So many years have passed, and the shoes on the shoe cabinet are either Bai Youqing's or Bai Yuze's, which means that the female teacher has never actually been to Bai Yuze's house.
After all,
Their relationship was just so-so.
Upon entering the hall, Bai Yuze glanced at his phone, shook his head slightly, and began preparing the meal in the kitchen: "Please sit outside for a while; the food will take a bit."
"Where is Bai Youqing?"
Ning Zixuan entered the hall and sat on the sofa to observe the layout.
Most of the furniture has been replaced.
However, the album with the family photo is still placed in the most conspicuous position.
You can see it at a glance from the sofa.
"What, you want to fight her? She might give you some face in public, but if she finds out you dared to come to her house, she might beat you up."
Bai Yuzhe chuckled softly.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of her at all. I still have something on her hands. Do you really think I could have tamed those two girls if I hadn't been capable when I was young?"
"Oh, what's the leverage?"
"You already said it's leverage over me, do you think I'd tell you?"
"Then what the hell are you talking about?"
Bai Yuze was cooking in the kitchen.
Ning Zixuan sat on the sofa and chatted with the other person.
She loved this tranquil feeling and wished it could last forever.
"By the way, what happened to the Patrick Star sculpture I made for you back then?"
"I don't know. Xiaoqing said she already smashed it."
Bai Yuze brought out a steaming bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork from the kitchen, glancing at the person rummaging through drawers and cupboards.
Ning Zixuan is searching for sculptures.
"Alright, alright, I'll remember this brat."
Ning Zixuan silently put the white paper back in its original place, her expression unchanged, but there was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice when she said those words.
"Stop looking, come and eat."
Bai Yuze brought over the pork rib soup and scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he had prepared that morning, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, with her sharp tongue but soft heart, how could she possibly smash it? She'll probably keep it safe in some box."
"Hmph." Ning Zixuan snorted lightly, now experiencing the feeling of being betrayed.
However, when she saw the food in front of her, a happy smile appeared on her lips. Stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork was one of her favorite dishes; she hadn't expected that after all these years, Bai Yuze would still remember it, and it looked quite delicious.
Bai Yuze took off his apron and handed a bowl and chopsticks to Ning Zixuan, who looked eager.
"Thanks."
Ning Zixuan took the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Bai Yuzhe watched from the side. He had been wondering who Bai Youqing had learned her bad eating habits from. The whole family ate in a very refined manner, except for Bai Youqing, who was a freak.
The truth is out now.
She was a disciple of Ning Zixuan, and the lineage is passed down through generations.
A dozen minutes later, Ning Zixuan put down her rice bowl, poured herself and Bai Yuze a glass of coconut juice, and exclaimed sincerely, "It's so delicious."
Bai Yuze smiled; no chef dislikes being praised for their food. But he still added, "Don't eat too much, it can cause bloating..."
Ning Zixuan didn't argue, but sat there quietly listening to him speak, her smile growing brighter: "How about we get married? Then I'll listen to whatever you say."
Bai Yuze paused, then shook his head: "No."
The other party's unwavering rejection stunned Ning Zixuan for a few seconds. She forced a smile, but the smile carried an undisguised bitterness: "It's okay, I won't give up."
"If you shed a few more tears, I'll believe you." Bai Yuze gave her a disgruntled look.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zixuan went to the mirror, looked at herself carefully, put a few drops of water on the corner of her eye, and after a while, nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed."
Bai Yuzhe shook his head and began to clear the dishes. She was such a quiet little girl when she was young, how did she turn out like this when she grew up?
Unseen by him, Ning Zixuan, her eyes red, kept splashing cold water on her face until her rapid heartbeat subsided.
She finally smiled, waved goodbye to Bai Yuze, and said, "Alright, I'm full, it's time to go."
"No matter how busy you are at work, don't forget to eat. Stomach problems can be very painful."
"Okay!"
"Wait a minute." Bai Yuze suddenly called out before the other party could close the door.
"What's wrong? You agree?"
Ning Zixuan suddenly pulled open the door and excitedly rushed in.
"No, I think it might rain, so take this umbrella with you."
Bai Yuze picked up an umbrella he had bought yesterday from the clothes rack next to him and handed it to Ning Zixuan.
"Wow, when did your taste become so sophisticated?" Ning Zixuan happily accepted the umbrella printed with a bouquet of peonies, her lips slightly upturned, and a faint smile was hidden in her two shallow dimples.
"If you keep nagging, I won't lend it to you," Bai Yuze said impatiently.
"Borrow? Once it's in my hands, there's no way it'll be returned." Ning Zixuan blinked and stuck out her tongue. "Bye-bye! Although you didn't agree this time, I believe you definitely won't refuse me next time."
Watching the other person's figure gradually disappear from the residential area.
Bai Yuzhe shook his head helplessly. If he had known he would run into Ning Zixuan today, he wouldn't have gone out.
