Chapter 46 - Love Cant be Calculated Based on Time (1/2)
***
Yu Dong’s cold eyes made Xia Feng’s heart tighten. With An An’s sudden appearance and the awkward atmosphere, Xia Feng suddenly felt like being a little impulsive.
“Dong Dong, come over.” Xia Feng lifted a hand towards her.
Yu Dong paused, then slowly walked towards Xia Feng.
“Let me introduce you, this is-”
Xia Feng hadn’t even finished his sentence when An An took the initiative to stretch out a hand towards Yu Dong. Interrupting Xia Feng’s introduction, she said: “Hello, I’m An An, Xia Feng’s-”
“Ex-girlfriend?” Yu Dong smiled as she cut An An off, taking her outstretched hand for a shake.
An An was surprised at Yu Dong’s actions and smiled awkwardly: “It seems that Xia Feng mentioned me to you.”
“Of course.” Looking back to Xia Feng, Yu Dong continued, “I knew about you on the day we met.”
An An’s face turned stiff at this. Glancing at Xia Feng, she reluctantly said back, “Pediatrics still need me for some things, I’ll be going first.”
“Alright.” Xia Feng nodded.
Just when Yu Dong thought she had won the round, An An suddenly turned back and looked at Xia Feng, saying: “Right, my colleagues wanted to hold a welcoming party for me. Now that you’re back, you should be free so come enjoy the night with us.”
“I checked beforehand, you don’t have any scheduled surgeries. I’ll see you tonight.” An An said before turning a corner, disappearing from their sight.
Yu Dong listened to her parting words and lifted an eyebrow as she looked at Xia Feng, waiting for his response.
Before Xia Feng could open his mouth, the doors of the operating room opened again. Yu Dong abandoned Xia Feng and rushed to the door with Xiang Xiaoyue.
“Xinxin, Xinxin.” The two each took a side and looked down to their friend.
“Don’t worry, the mother’s condition has stabilized and when the anesthetic wears off, she’ll wake up. Let us move her to a room first.” The doctor explained as he pushed the bed.
The crowd thanked the doctor and followed the bed through the ward.
Xia Feng saw that Yu Dong was leaving. He rubbed his forehead: He didn’t know if he just got lucky or not.
At this time, a sneaky figure peeked behind a corner before rushing towards Xia Feng: “Did you see?”
Xia Feng lacked any mercy as he raised a hand to hit the man running towards him: “So you knew, why didn’t you tell me in advance.”
Shao Yifan dodged the hit and quickly explained: “I only found out about it two days ago! I wanted to tell you but since you were facing against Yu Dong’s parents, I didn’t want to burden you. I was going to tell you the moment you came back to the hospital, but I had surgery earlier in the morning. Look at me, I’m still wearing my scrubs.”
“where are you going?” Shao Yifan followed Xia Feng, sniffing for gossip. “You haven’t told me what happened when they met. Did they fight? Man, when I saw I didn’t dare come out.”
“Shao Yifan, you just live for this type of excitement don’t you?” Xia Feng raged.
“Yes, I do.” Shao Yifan readily admitted this with a straight face.
“I’m breaking it off with you!”
“Hey, Hey, don’t joke.” Shao Yifan quickly stopped Xia Feng and apologized, “I wasn’t worried about you, you have your new love at one hand and your old love on the other.”
“But An An was someone you’ve asked to marry you three times. I thought…” Shao Yifan wisely didn’t finish his sentence when he saw Xia Feng’s expression.
“I didn’t say anything, don’t look at me like that. Nevermind, I’m going ahead.” Shao Yifan decided to retreat.
Xia Feng was never the type to bask in the limelight, so Shao Yifan wondered why he even doubted his friend in the first place.
“You’re not allowed to enter.” Xiang Xiaoyue was blocking the door.
“I’m just going to see how she’s doing.” Lu Xuan said.
“You think you can still see her with me here? Lu Xuan, you’re being delusional.” Xiang Xiaoyue laughed right at his face.
Seeing her domineering attitude, Qin Yue thought about how different she looked compared to her chubby past. But he found her current stance very similar to how she blocked his way to confess when they were children. With this thought, Qin Yue couldn’t help but find Xiaoyue extremely cute at this moment.
Xia Feng approached the door, also wanting to go in. However, he was also blocked by Xiang Xiaoyue.
Xia Feng was stunned and asked: “Is Dong Dong inside?”
“Yep.”
“I need to talk to her.”
“Tell me, what happened to you and that female doctor just now?” Xiang Xiaoyue had been pursued by countless boys since she was a child and could sniff out ambiguous relationships a mile away.
With the scum Lu Xuan and the now untrustworthy Xia Feng both in front of her, Xiang Xiaoyue felt that she was seconds away from hitting someone.
“Or you can just call Dong Dong for me, I won’t go in.” Xia Feng didn’t argue with Xiaoyue, instead thinking of a compromise.
Xiang Xiaoyue wanted to disagree, but Qin Yue finally stepped in and dragged her to his side: “What are you doing, butting in other people’s relationships. You look like an old hen squatting on the doorway. Are the people inside your chicks?”
“Whatever!” Xiang Xiaoyue shook off Qin Yue’s hand with growl.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan and Xia Feng slipped into the room. Inside, Yu Dong was wiping Ren Xinxin’s sweaty face with a cloth.
When Yu Dong saw Xia Feng enter, she smiled. This lightened Xia Feng’s heart, and he quietly calmed down.
“Xiaoyue, come in and take care of Xinxin.” Yu Dong saw Xiaoyue come in with her fists raised and stopped her.
“Fine.” Xiaoyue glared at Lu Xuan as she passed the two men and firmly planted her butt on the bed, determined to keep Lu Xuan far away.
Qin Yue looked at her aggresive stance and felt a little pity for Lu Xuan.
Xia Feng took Yu Dong out into a nearby hospital garden. Holding her hand, he thought about how to explain, but in the end he could only say: “Just trust me.”
“Are you saying that I should trust you, or is it that you did something that would lose my trust.” Yu Dong asked with a raised eyebrow.
