"You hit me once in the restaurant just now, and now you hit me again. I can let you off the hook these two times, but three times is the limit. If you think that I liked you before and you can bully me at will now, I'm sorry, but I'm not some central air conditioner, and I don't owe you anything."
After Mu Ziyan left, Fang Jiayi still stood there blankly.
She didn't know how long it had been before she lay back on the bed, thinking about what had happened recently. Indeed, it seemed that she had been a bit too harsh on him. How about she apologize to him the next time they met
*
She thought so, but when she really saw her, she couldn't bring herself to do it, especially when Mu Ziyin saw her, he acted as if he didn't see her, and walked straight to Zhang Baoer's table and asked her if she wanted to go for lunch.
Zhang Baoer was flattered and glanced at Fang Jiayi who was sitting diagonally opposite her. Fang Jiayi was playing with her cell phone, as if she didn't hear their conversation.
Zhang Baoer said sweetly, "What are we going to eat?"
Mu Ziyin didn't even look at Fang Jiayi and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhang Baoer thought for a moment and said, "The food in the restaurant downstairs in our hospital tastes pretty good. Do you want to try it?"
"good."
Zhang Baoer packed up her things and stood up.
Mu Ziyin took the bag from her hand, looking like a model caring boyfriend, making others envious.
Everyone in the office looked at Zhang Baoer with envy.
Xiao Xin said to Fang Jiayi, "Mr. Mu comes to pick up Baoer from get off work every day. I don't know how far they are from each other."
Fang Jiayi turned her head and looked at her. "What base?"
"The director is from the obstetrics and gynecology department, of course he wouldn't know? A playboy like Mr. Mu must have many girlfriends. The newspapers always publish news about his affairs, sometimes with this young model, sometimes with that anchor..."
"oh."
"oh?"
"I'm not curious." Fang Jiayi didn't need to say too much to someone as gossipy as Xiao Xin, lest she spread the news. She stood up and said with a blank expression, "I'm going to eat."
*
Mu Ziyin didn't say much after he sat down. It was Zhang Baoer who kept asking questions. He occasionally answered a sentence or two while playing with his mobile phone with a dull expression.
He pretended not to see when Zhang Baoer picked up food for him, and his eyes were always staring at the restaurant entrance intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was waiting for someone.
It wasn't until Fang Jiayi walked into the restaurant that he seemed to be fully revived. He stole a glance at her, then spoke to Zhang Baoer and became enthusiastic. He even picked up a piece of barbecued pork for Zhang Baoer and said, "Come, have some food."
"Thank you." Zhang Baoer felt strange about his sudden enthusiasm, but she didn't ask any more questions. She ate the food he picked for her and his warm greetings, and greeted him with a smile.
But even though he was talking to Zhang Baoer, he always seemed absent-minded, and occasionally his eyes would glance elsewhere.
Zhang Baoer followed his gaze and looked at Fang Jiayi who was getting food. Her expression turned cold. It was this woman again!
Fang Jiayi got the meal, held the plate, and walked past the two of them.
"Director Fang." Zhang Baoer suddenly spoke, her beautiful eyes looking at her expressionless face, "What a coincidence, we have a seat here, do you want to sit together?"
Fang Jiayi looked around the restaurant and saw that there were indeed not many seats left, so she sat down and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Director, don't you have to go to work this afternoon?" Zhang Baoer asked.
Fang Jiayi nodded, "Well, I'll go back after dinner."
"Is that so?" Zhang Baoer smiled, turned to Mu Ziyin and said, "Brother Yin, this is what happened. You treated me to dinner last night, and I want to treat you to a movie today."
Mu Ziyin glanced at Fang Jiayi and smiled calmly, "No need to be so polite, it's just a meal, no big deal."
"No, I must invite him back. Brother Yin, just promise me. I don't have to go to work this afternoon, so let's go to the movies."
Mu Ziyin nodded helplessly, "Okay, wait."
He originally thought that Zhang Baoer would ask Fang Jiayi out, but she didn't mention it at all. When she saw that Mu Ziyin agreed, she smiled and lowered her head to eat her noodles.
Suddenly, Fang Jiayi's cell phone rang.
"Hello." The call was from Su Yi.
Su Yi said on the other end of the phone: "Jia Yi, are you free today? I'm going to the hospital for a pelvic screening. If you're free, let's have lunch together. I just arrived at the hospital."
"I'm already eating in the restaurant on the first floor of the hospital. Come over." After hanging up the phone, Fang Jiayi put away her phone.
Zhang Baoer asked curiously: "Director, who is it? Your boyfriend?"
Fang Jiayi laughed, "A moment."
About a few minutes later, Su Yi and Mu Nanxi appeared at the door of the restaurant. Fang Jiayi waved at them, "Hi, here."
Su Yi and Mu Nanxi smiled and walked over.
Fang Jiayi hadn't seen Mu Nanxi for a long time and missed him very much. When she didn't know Su Yi, Fang Jiayi and Mu Nanxi were best friends.
So the two of them clapped their hands in tacit understanding. Mu Nanxi smiled and said, "Jia Yi? Long time no see."
"Nan Xi." Fang Jiayi stood up with a bright smile on her face that was hard to conceal.
