Chapter 14: Meal Money
Fu Yanzhi froze and was about to answer when the phone rang again.
He faced the other side while answering the call.
"Hello."
She didn't know what was spoken on the other side and the only thing Ji Qingying heard him say was, "I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanzhi looked at her eyes and said, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, he didn't give Ji Qingying any chance to speak and quickly disappeared within her sight.

When Chen Xinyu arrived home, the house was quiet with the lights on.
She looked down at the floor and there were many crumpled up sketches.
She had a good look at the guest room door and reached out to knock on it.
"Are you asleep?"
"No."
Ji Qingying responded: "I will come out in a moment."
Chen Xinyu didn't ask too many questions and bent down to pick up the drawing on the floor to look at it.
There were designs and figure drawings.
She took a serious look at it and expressed admiration for Ji Qingying's drawing skills.
Fu Yanzhi's portrait was rather handsome.
"Why are you so late?"
Chen Xinyu looked at her sideways and sighed, "A party called me, then I can only be late!"
Ji Qingying: "..."
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Xinyu raised the painting in her hand: "Frustrated at Fu Yanzhi?"
Ji Qingying tugged at the paper and looked at it: "The drawing is ugly."
Chen Xinyu giggled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's actually not ugly, it's still quite handsome."
She teased, "Come on tell me about it?"
Ji Qingying had only had her as an advisor so far, so naturally she knew everything.
After hearing this, Chen Xinyu patted her on the shoulder and said, "There is a long way to go, although Fu Yanzhi's rejection is obvious, but at least you already had dinner with him, so there's still a chance."
Ji Qingying knows.
She was aware of that.
She had always been proud of herself and the first time she was rejected like that, she just couldn't accept it.
But then on second thought she felt that it's normal.
If a man like Fu Yanzhi could be casually acquired, how could he still be single?
Thinking this way, she instantly sprang back to life.
Chen Xinyu knew she had figured it out by looking at her expression, she flopped down on the couch and rubbed her eyes, "What about the house, is it fixed there?"
"Well, the environment there is very good and it's convenient to go anywhere."
"Good"
The two chatted about their work while Ji Qingying went back to his room to draw pictures and Chen Xinyu went to rest.
When she finished drawing a picture to take a break, Ji Qingying was surprised to see a message from Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran: [Has Miss Ji returned home yet?]
Ji Qingying: [Yes, thank you, Dr. Lin. ]
Lin Haoran: [You're welcome.]
Ji Qingying didn't think much of it, sent an emoji over and just turned off her phone to sleep.
–
On the other side.
It was midnight when Fu Yanzhi rushed back to the hospital to recheck and deal with the sudden fever of a surgical patient he had done a few days ago.
The hospital returned to its stillness.
Most people went to sleep except for the sound of patients coughing and family members making small talk.
After a day of ordeals, Fu Yanzhi showed some weariness on his face.
Back at his department, Xu Chengli gave him a sidelong glance. "Is everything okay?"
"Mmm."
Fu Yanzhi hadn't drunk water for too long and his voice was a bit hoarse.
He took a sip of water and moistened his throat before saying, "Aren't you going to rest yet?"
Xu Chengli smiled: "Aren't I waiting for you?"
He said lightly, "You rest for two hours, I'll handle that side for a while."
Fu Yanzhi did not refuse.
He bent over to open the drawer and took out his phone.
Xu Chengli looked at it without thinking and teased, "What kind of messages are you sending to Haoran in the middle of the night? You two can't be serious about what everyone says, can you?"
Hearing his words, Fu Yanzhi gave him a cold glance.
"Right,"
He clicked on the WeChat payment QR code: "Meal money."
"？"
Xu Chengli looked at him.
Fu Yanzhi's voice was as usual, he said coldly: "The dinner was bought by a friend."
Xu Chengli: "..."
