Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau

C47 Protecting Only One Person

During dinner, Xia Feng didn't go out to An An's dinner party. Instead, he was at the western restaurant just outside the hospital with Yu Dong, eating steak.

Yu Dong looked at Xia Feng from across the table and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" After ordering, Xia Feng saw Yu Dong laugh, so he had to ask.

"I remember the first time I asked you to have dinner with me, it was to this restaurant." Yu Dong answered with a smile.

Here? Xia Feng carefully thought back, but couldn't remember a time he was here with Yu Dong before tonight. "How come I don't remember?"

"Because you didn't come at all." Yu Dong's tone became a little disgruntled. "I told you to bring some money over, and you sent someone else."

"Oh...that time..." Xia Feng remembered, "The Dean happened to be looking for me so...anyway, it was my fault."

Xia Feng's face was apologetic.

Yu Dong put her chin on her hand and lazily said, "Forget it, you didn't like me very much at the time, I was still in the middle of pursuing you."

The pair continued to chat for a while before the waiter served their steaks.

The two began to cut up their food. When Xia Feng was halfway done, he suddenly raised his head to look at Yu Dong skillfully cutting her own steak.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Dong saw him staring and asked, stopping her movements.

"I was just thinking...my wife is really capable." Xia Feng answered with a smile. "You cut the steak so well I can't take the opportunity to show off."

Yu Dong looked down to her steak mostly cut up, then towards Xia Feng's cut up steak. Looking towards Xia Feng's smiling face, she suddenly remembered Xia Feng's words the first time he picked her up from work.

It was raining that day. Xia Feng held an umbrella over them, his voice gentle as he looked at her: "You don't always have to act so brave. Girls who act a little more spoiled are more attractive."

Yu Dong blinked away the memory. Placing her knife and fork down, she smiled and said: "I suddenly lost all my strength. It looks like you'll have to help me cut up the rest of my steak."

"Sure!" Xia Feng nodded and took Yu Dong's plate to cut the rest of her steak diligently.

Looking at him, Yu Dong suddenly realized something. Feeling a little unhappy, she snorted and asked: "Did you always help An An like this?"

Xia Feng looked up at her. He knew that his answer would make Yu Dong uncomfortable, but he still gently nodded.

Yu Dong grabbed her glass and held it tightly. Like a mantra, she told her self over and over again not to be angry, it wouldn't be good to constantly get mad. She shouldn't hold on to the past, she was a mature and even-tempered woman.

"I'm not happy." It didn't even take a minute for Yu Dong to cave.

Xia Feng gently placed her plate back in front of Yu Dong. "From now on, I'll only cut for you."

"I don't believe you." Yu Dong knew that she was acting jealous. She probably sounded small and difficult.

"Dong Dong, look at me." Xia Feng patiently waited for Yu Dong to look up, and then he said: "I don't have a lot of strong points, but if I promise you something, I'm going to try my hardest to keep it."
