On the first day of Meng Wan's recuperation at home, she had a fulfilling life. She watched dramas, ate snacks, and slept when she was full, like a rice bug.
At around six o'clock in the evening, just as Meng Wan was about to order takeaway, Lu Chaoqing suddenly sent a WeChat message: Have you had dinner yet
Seeing the content of the chat, Meng Wan subconsciously glanced at Lu Chaoqing's profile picture again. How could this Professor Lu, who refused to be interrupted by small talk, send such unnutritious messages
Meng Wan: Just about to order takeaway, what's the matter
At the gate of Z, Professor Gao was standing next to Lu Chaoqing. Seeing Meng Wan's reply, he pointed out to Lu Chaoqing nervously: "Just say that you are going to visit her. If there is a restaurant nearby that she wants to eat, you can bring her a takeaway." .”
Lu Chaoqing was too lazy to type, and didn't want to pour cold water on his colleagues who were bent on pursuing the opposite sex, so he simply gave Professor Gao his phone.
Professor Gao excitedly sent the words just now, his words were very enthusiastic, almost humble.
Lu Chaoqing was carrying a bag of fruit in his hand, and he didn't care what his colleagues were talking about in his name.
Meng Wan was a little restless, the Professor Lu in this WeChat made her uneasy abnormally.
Meng Wan: I don't want to bother you anymore, I'll order takeaway myself.
Professor Lu: It's not a problem at all. We are neighbors. You are injured. I will stop by anyway. Tell me, what do you want to eat
The other party was so enthusiastic that Meng Wan couldn't help but ask, "Professor Lu, are you okay?" You seem different today.
"Professor Lu" blushed, and replied after a while: I'm fine, the neighbors help each other, by the way, do you like Sichuan cuisine? I see there is a Sichuan restaurant next door.
Meng Wan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll trouble Professor Lu, you haven't eaten yet, then I'll treat you tonight, and you can order the dishes."
Seeing this reply, Professor Gao smirked at the phone, and then dragged Lu Chaoqing to the Sichuan restaurant on the left.
Facing the menu, Professor Gao asked Lu Chaoqing: "Do you know what Miss Meng likes to eat?"
Lu Chaoqing shook his head.
Professor Gao ordered a few more dishes.
When the waiter came to collect the menu, Lu Chaoqing made a request: "Put less pepper."
The waiter took notes and left.
Professor Gao asked Lu Chaoqing suspiciously: "You can't eat spicy food?"
Lu Chaoqing looked at him: "Most injured people don't like spicy food."
Professor Gao suddenly realized, and immediately regretted that he had chosen a Sichuan restaurant.
There were guests coming to the house, even though they were just neighbors, Meng Wan simply cleaned up the living room, and replaced the pajamas she had been wearing all day with shorts and short sleeves.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang, and at the same time, wechat received a message from Lu Chaoqing: It's me.
Meng Wan was inexplicably a little nervous. Until now, she didn't understand how Lu Chaoqing suddenly became so humane.
Walking to the entrance, Meng Wan showed the signature welcoming smile of a ramen restaurant employee and opened the door.
Lu Chaoqing stood in front of the door with a calm expression, holding a bag of fruit in one hand.
Professor Gao, who was half a head shorter than him, stood behind Lu Chaoqing's left back with a flushed face, holding the takeaway package of the Sichuan restaurant in both hands.
Meng Wan was surprised.
Professor Gao coughed and hoped that his colleagues could explain it to him.
Lu Chaoqing glanced at him, and then said to Meng Wan: "Professor Gao heard that you were sick, so he specially bought fruit to visit, and he also paid for the takeaway."
The professor Gao next to him blushed even more, anxious and embarrassed, what he wanted was a more tactful explanation!
"I, I originally wanted to have dinner with Professor Lu. He said he wanted to come and see Ms. Meng. I, I'll come and have a look." Not daring to look at Meng Wan, Professor Gao lowered his head and said, his voice so low that Meng Wan almost Didn't hear clearly.
Lu Chaoqing frowned, facing Professor Gao's flushed face, he realized something and pursed his lips.
The two professors were not good at emotional intelligence, but Meng Wan understood it all at once, and also guessed that it was Professor Gao who chatted with her on WeChat.
Meng Wan has long seen that Professor Gao likes her. It is obvious that people from two worlds, Meng Wan has never thought of this possibility. She just thinks that Professor Gao, who is dull and blushing, is innocent and cute. Therefore, Meng Wan does not mind tonight The only headache about Professor Gao's Cengfan was that he didn't know how to reject such a simple Professor Gao. After all, Professor Gao hadn't spoken yet, and she couldn't bear to stab him rashly.
"Thank you, come in and sit down." Meng Wan said with a smile.
Lu Chaoqing and Professor Gao walked in one after another.
Meng Wan was surprised when she saw the takeaway bag full in Professor Gao's hand: "You ordered so much?"
Professor Gao stammered: "Fortunately, I, we can eat."
Meng Wan smiled and went to pick up the takeaway in his hand, and wanted to tidy it up on the dining table. Professor Gao glanced at her injured calf, and hurriedly avoided: "Don't move, I'll fix it." After finishing speaking, he seemed to run away. He took two bags of takeaway to the dining table.
Meng Wan looked at Lu Chaoqing helplessly.
Lu Chaoqing went to the kitchen with the fruit, and when he came out, he cleaned up the dining table with Professor Gao.
One of the two men was not talkative by nature, and the other was too nervous to speak. Meng Wan herself felt embarrassed, and stood by and tried to liven up the atmosphere: "I remember that Professor Gao often works overtime, so don't you need tonight?"
Two balls of joy appeared in Professor Gao's glasses behind the frame. Ms. Meng actually knew that he often worked overtime
He mustered up the courage to glance at Meng Wan, pushed the frame of the mirror and said, "I'm done with work today, you, how is your leg injury?"
Meng Wan smiled: "It's much better."
Dazed by her smiling face, Professor Gao lowered his head again, feeling that Ms. Meng was even more beautiful without work clothes.
The takeaway consisted of five dishes and one soup. Meng Wan caught a glimpse of the receipt in the plastic bag and snatched it away. Then she took out the receipt from her wallet and insisted on handing it to Professor Gao: "It's agreed, I'll treat you tonight!"
Professor Gao refused with a blushing face, and Meng Wan faced the living room angrily: "If you don't charge the money, then I won't eat."
Professor Gao panicked, what should I do
He looked at Lu Chaoqing for help.
Lu Chaoqing was hungry and just wanted to eat quickly, so he asked Professor Gao to collect the money.
One to two, Professor Gao had no choice but to pocket the money on the table.
Meng Wan turned from anger to a smile, and sat across from the two of them.
The atmosphere at the dinner table continued to be awkward, Meng Wan looked at Professor Gao, and thought of Professor Gao's daily trips to ramen restaurants almost rain or shine, and made a decision in his heart. Without this meal, she and Professor Gao are just the host and guest of the ramen restaurant, and now they can be regarded as friends.
"How old is Professor Gao?" Meng Wan took the initiative to chat with Professor Gao.
Professor Gao put down his chopsticks and obediently replied, "Thirty-two, what's wrong?"
Meng Wan smiled and looked at Lu Chaoqing, enviously said: "Sure enough, a genius friend is also a genius. Professor Gao is so young, so he must be very attractive to female students, right?"
Professor Gao blushed slightly, and pushed the frame of the mirror: "I am very boring, not as popular as Xiao Lu."
Lu Chaoqing was expressionless.
Meng Wan felt that Lu Chaoqing was more boring than Professor Gao, even if he was popular among female students, it was still taking advantage of his good looks. But having said that, Professor Gao's height of 1.75 meters is considered average in the south, he is fair and delicate, and he is a young professor at a prestigious school. It stands to reason that he should not worry about not having a girlfriend.
"Does Professor Gao have a girlfriend?" Meng Wan laughed gossipingly.
Professor Gao blushed and shook his head.
Thinking of her single friends, Meng Wan said enthusiastically, "Then let me introduce one for you. What kind of girl does Professor Gao like?"
When Professor Gao heard it, his joy disappeared, and the slightly spicy Sichuan food left in his mouth turned into slightly bitter.
Meng Wan felt a little distressed, but she didn't want to give Professor Gao any more hope.
Lu Chaoqing looked at the two of them separately, and continued to eat in silence.
Professor Gao felt bitter, but Meng Wan was still waiting for his answer, so Professor Gao forced a smile on his face: "I'm busy with work, and I'm a dull person, so I'm afraid that your friends will look down on me."
Meng Wan encouraged him: "Then you have to try it to know. In this way, let's add a WeChat account. I have a suitable person to introduce you to."
Professor Gao nodded bitterly, and became friends with Meng Wan.
In order to show that she didn't target Professor Gao specifically, Meng Wan turned her head to tease Lu Chaoqing: "Where is Professor Lu, do you want me to introduce you too?"
Lu Chaoqing flatly refused: "No, I have no plans to fall in love for the time being."
Meng Wan casually asked, "Does Professor Lu have a favorite type?"
Lu Chaoqing thought carefully for a few seconds, and gave two conditions for choosing a mate: "Be quiet and know how to cook."
My mother is very quiet, but she can't cook, and Aunt Meng can cook, but she talks too much.
Meng Wan asked casually, one ear went in and the other came out, and she didn't take Lu Chaoqing's conditions for choosing a mate to heart at all.
After dinner, Professor Gao rushed to clean up the mess.
"I'm going to wash the fruit." Meng Wan said politely.
Professor Gao was in a very low mood and didn't want to stay here any longer. He lowered his eyes and blocked him: "Don't worry, I still have something to go back to the office."
Meng Wan didn't want to keep her anymore.
She sent the two professors out the door together.
Just sitting on the sofa, someone knocked on the door again, it was Lu Chaoqing.
Meng Wan looked at the elevator and looked at him suspiciously: "You don't need to go back to Z University?"
Lu Chaoqing hummed, stared at her and asked, "Professor Gao likes you, how do you feel about him?"
Meng Wan was not used to such direct conversations, so she asked the elevator, "Did he ask you to ask me?"
Lu Chaoqing: "I want to know, if you don't like him, you don't need to introduce others to him, it will only make him more painful."
Meng Wan tried his best not to get angry and reasoned calmly, "I don't like him, but Professor Gao obviously has the intention of dating, how do you know he won't like the person I introduced? Just because he likes me now doesn't mean he won't like someone else."
Lu Chaoqing pursed his lips: "The relationship won't change so quickly."
Meng Wan raised her eyebrows: "Why, Professor Lu still has in-depth research on feelings?"
It's ridiculous, Professor Gao hasn't even talked to her much, how much affection can he have for her? In this situation, as long as a suitable newcomer appears, the man can easily shift his target, just like the boys who pursued her in college, most of them will immediately look for a new girlfriend after being rejected by her.
Meng Wan has never been in a relationship, but she has a wealth of experience in being pursued, and she also has a lot of experience watching friends' relationships. Lu Chaoqing, who does research every day, can compare to her
Seeing that Lu Chaoqing was still dissatisfied, Meng Wan smiled, looked at his cold and handsome face and said, "Well, let's make a bet, let's bet that I can help Professor Gao get out of the order a few years ago, if I win, you Serve a weekend plate at a ramen restaurant, and if you win…”
"I won, you will send me a week's worth of food." Lu Chaoqing replied indifferently.
Meng Wan shrugged, she was already familiar with such trivial things as delivering food.
"Okay, that's it."
