Chapter 195: Doctor brought a friend (Cheng Yubai) today.
Seeing his expression of being abandoned, Shen Zhaoyi reached out and ruffled his hair. "It's not like we'll never see each other again."

"Just drop it off here. Send me a message when it arrives at the school."

After saying that, he reached out and took the suitcase from her.

The lever slipped from his palm, and Han Ziyang knew it was time to say goodbye.

"Then sister, remember to let me know you're safe after you land."

These words were clearly overheard from Su Ye's phone call in the car earlier.

The two haven't even met yet, but they're already secretly competing with each other. It's hard to imagine what it will be like when they actually meet.

They parted ways at the security checkpoint, and Han Ziyang hailed a taxi after exiting the airport terminal.

Shen Zhaoyi, on the other hand, went to the VIP waiting room.

"Yu Shan" has been unusually quiet these past few days. He had originally planned to let him calm down while I was away, and then see how things were going after I returned from the capital.

Whether it can continue or fall apart, there needs to be a result.

However, the plans have been changed at the last minute, and I won't be able to get to City C until later tonight.

I thought of his accusations in bed.

You know what, it really feels like they just played with my feelings and body and then ran away. No wonder they reacted that way.

Shen Zhaoyi wasn't the only one with this idea.

Qiu Yu, who lives far away in City C, thinks the same way.

The words that Secretary Fang has heard most often these past few days are:
"A heartless woman who plays with people's feelings!"

"A wicked woman who slept with someone and then ran away!"

This is as if they're afraid others won't guess what happened...

Fangzheng's only consolation was that his boss only nagged in the office and didn't go outside; otherwise, things would have really gone wrong.

However, it seems that none of the ideas I gave back then worked. Who on earth is this person who can make things so difficult for others?
The eldest brother wasn't like this before.

At least, they are adept at strategizing in the business world.

Why do I act like a complete idiot when it comes to relationships?

Of course, I don't mean to belittle him, but I always feel that he's like a love-struck fool who can't get out of a relationship once he's fallen in love.

Can this be said?

The atmosphere in the office was really strange. Fang Zheng put the coffee he had just made on the table and ran out as fast as he could.

The prize money we managed to keep must not be allowed to slip away again.

Three hours later, the plane landed at S City New District International Airport.

Shen Zhaoyi had just stepped off the covered bridge with her suitcase when she received a call from Cheng Yubai.

"arrive?"

"I'll be waiting for you at the B2 arrival gate."

On his end, he could clearly hear the announcements on the large screen and the voices of security personnel maintaining order.

Shen Zhaoyi replied, "Okay."

But I haven't really thought it through, what my mindset is when I go to see him.

If before it was out of a sense of revenge, deliberately keeping your distance, now it's like knowingly walking into a tiger's den.

It's not that I want to be like Wu Song; it's probably just that stubbornness in my heart that makes me feel like I can conquer the other party.

Just like when you were young and couldn't solve the most difficult problem, you would rack your brains to figure out the last step.

Go down the escalator, follow the flow of people out, and then walk around the luggage carousel.

There were many people outside who came to pick up their relatives and friends.

But Cheng Yubai's aura was clearly different from that of the people around him.

Shen Zhaoyi spotted it immediately.

I've almost forgotten which time we met, but he's been wearing those gold-rimmed glasses ever since. Today, however, he's not wearing that suit; he's opted for a casual look instead.

As she was taking in the sights, Cheng Yubai also noticed that the person he wanted to see had appeared.

After they walked out of the retractable belt fence area, the other person took the suitcase directly, and Shen Zhaoyi's free hand was grabbed.

There are fine calluses on the fingertips and the area between the thumb and index finger.

"Dr. Cheng, what are you doing?" Shen Zhaoyi glanced down at their clasped hands, not in a hurry to pull away, wanting to hear what shameless explanation he could come up with.

Cheng Yubai's answer did not disappoint her: "We've already kissed, so holding hands isn't too much to ask, is it?"

These words brought back the memory of that kiss at the villa's entrance.

The hands were naturally clasped together without letting go.

Shen Zhaoyi was thinking about something else at this moment. She asked, "Cheng Yubai, when we first met in the live stream, did you ever think about this situation now?"

"No."

Cheng Yubai denied it very readily.

"That's a real pity," Shen Zhaoyi said, her words carrying a double meaning.

The person holding her hand didn't stop walking, their eyes behind their glasses deep and unfathomable. "It's no pity, it's just as well we met now."

However, no one spoke to him.

Shen Zhaoyi turned her face away. Okay or not, the initial impression had already set the tone for this relationship.

We arrived at the parking lot; it was too early for dinner.

She had intended to have Cheng Yubai take her back to the villa to put her luggage down first, but he offered another suggestion: "At this time, having a cup of coffee would be quite appropriate."

"I'm not interested in coffee now."

Shen Zhaoyi refused outright.

After all, I've already had enough of drinking when I was working late into the night to finish projects.

But Cheng Yubai always has a trick up his sleeve.

After the car door slammed shut, he turned to the side.

"Don't you want to know what's going on in the hospital?"

Of course!
However, Shen Zhaoyi thought that when he saw her, he would at least talk about the project first.

"If you're not interested in that, why should I waste my time?"

"Of course I'm interested, it's still money I've already spent."

Cheng Yubai disagreed, and his first words were in his familiar tone: "Do you want to laugh when you say that?"

"A little bit, indeed."

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't establish a persona in front of him.

It's not that she truly disregards money; it's just that the cash refund has already arrived in her account, and she genuinely doesn't have the time or inclination to pay much more attention to it.
Seeing her expression, Cheng Yubai knew he was right.

He leaned over, reached his arm over to the seatbelt beside him, and prepared to fasten it for her.

The distance suddenly closed, and they could almost smell each other's scent.

Shen Zhaoyi did not back down in the slightest.

At this moment, if she showed even the slightest weakness, the other party would seize the upper hand. All she could do was quietly watch Cheng Yubai's actions, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation.

Their eyes met in mid-air, exchanging ambiguous glances while their thoughts began to spar.

In the end, Cheng Yubai pretended to be nonchalant, stepped back, sat back down, and started the car.

"It's fine if you don't drink coffee."

"They also have special blends, perfect for cooling you down in the summer heat."

After about half an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of a quaint two-story building.

Cheng Yubai was clearly a regular here.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a waiter greeted me with a smile: "Dr. Cheng, you brought a friend today?"

Cheng Yubai nodded slightly.

"Old location."

When Shen Zhaoyi followed them to the corner booth, she realized that it was far from the lobby and bar, and even the sound system overhead was relatively quiet.

It's definitely a good place to chat about gossip.

"What would you like to drink?" Cheng Yubai pushed the menu over.

They changed the cover, so I'm pretending it's a new novel, hehe~
By the way, hand over all your monthly passes!
I need lots of motivation!
