Chapter Ninety-Nine: Because I'm a Woman
Abby and Paul soon arrived at the clinic in Ruicheng, which occupies almost half an area on the 12th floor of the Shengdu International Building!
Paul was led by Abby to visit his new clinic in Ruicheng and was very satisfied!
"Abby, you've always been so talented!" Paul toured the room, then dragged his suitcase into the break room of his clinic, sat on the couch next to him, and crossed his legs!
Abby brought two cups of coffee and served them on the couch together, "So I said, you can't live without me!"
"Hahaha......" The two laughed while drinking coffee!
However, when Paul just took a sip of coffee, he frowned slightly, but this slight movement was still seen by Abby, "What's the matter?
"It's a little bit astringent!" Paul says bluntly.
"Astringent?'s your favorite coffee flavor, I can't make a mistake, you're saying there's a problem with the water in Ruicheng?" Abby looked at his coffee cup, confused.
"Is my favorite coffee?" Paul was also diskept.
"Of course!" Abby was convinced.
Paul nodded, maybe the cup he had just drunk in Su Ziqi's hospital room tasted so special that his taste buds were delusional!
Paul shook his head and unconsciously looked at his watch, the time showed that it had been two hours since he left Su Ziqi's hospital room, and in another hour, Su Ziqi would wake up.
Abby saw Paul looking at his watch and thought he was hungry, so he said thoughtfully: "It's time to eat, it's very convenient to eat, live and travel here, and there are high-end coffee bars and bars, as well as shopping malls with international brands, it's definitely a feng shui treasure! Don't you Chinese, especially you Hong Kong people, pay attention to this?"
Abby has always referred to Paul as "Chinese" or "Hong Konger", and has learned a lot of Chinese habits and names from Paul.
Paul nodded, "Okay, I happen to be hungry too, let's go eat!"
Abby took Paul to a food stall that served a variety of local delicacies – rice noodles from Yunnan, spicy rice noodles from Sichuan, steamed buns from Shaanxi, dumplings from Northeast China, Cantonese-style soups, and Hong Kong-style wonton noodles...... It's almost all the Chinese food!
"Well, you're no stranger to these, right? I heard that your grandmother is very good at cooking all kinds of dishes, so that your family can taste authentic Chinese food!" Abby not only knows Paul's temperament and habits well, but also knows Paul's family very well, especially with Paul, a Chinese grandmother!
Paul nodded, "Well, it's good, it looks really dazzling!"
"Jing Chao is not confused, I know you like to eat fried noodles and dumplings the most, tell me, which one will you eat today?" Abby asked with complete certainty.
"Today's ......," Paul hesitated unprecedentedly, "I'm going to try the most famous rock sugar pear paste in Ruicheng today!
"What?" Abby's eyes widened, "Rock sugar pear cream is paste-like, aren't you the least fond of paste-like things?"
"Hmm...... I've changed my appetite a little today!" Paul said absent-mindedly, glancing at the watch on his wrist.
"OK! Then I'll also try this rock sugar pear paste you said~" Abby deliberately learned Paul's tone and tone to say the Chinese characters "rock sugar pear paste", but Abby, who is not familiar with Chinese, still has an obedient tone when he speaks Chinese!
In addition to buying two servings of rock sugar pear paste, Abby also bought a few Hong Kong-style snacks, which complement each other well with rock sugar pear paste!
The two of them sat opposite each other and began to have lunch, which was still the usual habit, and Abby and Paul were silent when they ate, which was in stark contrast to the buzzing voices around them!
Paul didn't seem to have any appetite, and he only picked up a few bites of a few things for a small Hong Kong-style meal, while Abby's portions were already at the bottom of the plates! Paul ate the rock sugar pear paste in the palm of his hand, and after eating the last bite, he seemed to be still unsatisfied!
Abby was surprised, it wasn't like he hadn't ordered rock sugar pear paste before, but Paul didn't touch his mouth at all, and the few Hong Kong-style snacks he just ordered were Paul's favorite food, why did he suddenly change his appetite today?
"Are you done eating?" Abby asked, skeptically.
"Yes, I'm done, it's delicious, you eat slowly!" Paul wiped his mouth, leaned back in his chair and waited for Abby, then looked at his watch on his wrist one more time.
There is about half an hour left before Su Ziqi wakes up, and this is the time from here to feel the hospital!
Abby was no longer interested in touching the chopsticks in her hand, she was very unaccustomed to using chopsticks, so she simply pushed the dishes in her hand aside.
"Paul, are you in a hurry?" Abby folded her hands over her chest, a position she used to use when she interrogated Paul.
"I've got something to do, I'm leaving!" Paul said frankly, "Are you done eating?"
"Yes! but......" Abby sat in her chair and didn't move, she had to raise her voice to keep up with the noise of her surroundings, "I don't think your appetite has changed!
"Temperament?!" Paul frowned.
"Yes, you don't look at your watch so often, we've only been seeing each other for an hour, you've already looked at your watch three times, and usually, you don't look at your watch until you've been seen for a long time!" Abby's expression was much more serious.
"There was something going on today!" Paul explained.
"If there's something that needs to be prepared on time, you'll set a reminder time!It's your habit! If you don't set this reminder in the first place, it's a sign that you're quite hesitant about it!" Abby's eyes aren't as blue as Paul's, but they can also pierce people's hearts!
"OK, I surrender, I forgot you're also a psychologist!" Paul shook his head helplessly, partly because Abby had a more eloquent tongue than he was.
"No, it's not that you forgot, it's that you neglected, because you've always controlled your actions quite precisely, but this time because of some miscalculation? I was shocked when I heard you say that you were going to come to Ruicheng a week early, because you're not a good person to change your plans!" Abby continued to interrogate Paul.
"We'll talk about that later, it's a little too late!" Paul looked at his watch again, he didn't want to continue arguing with Abby.
"For a woman?" Abby's blue gaze quickly fixed on Paul's frowning brow, and she remembered Paul frowning only when he was concentrating on his work!
Paul looked down and smiled, "It seems that you should run a psychotherapy studio on your own!"
The blue in Abby's eyes began to dim and dim, and she took out a lady's cigarette and put it between her fingers, "No, you're wrong, it's not because I'm a psychiatrist, it's because I'm a woman!"
"Abby, you're mistaken, she's just one of my patients!" Paul saw the lit cigarette smoke smoke in a cloud of mist in Abby's mouth and nose!
Abby, however, smiled noncommittally, "Paul, for the first time, you didn't have precise control over your actions! you know what that means, it means you can't control your mind at any time!"
"Abby, you're overthinking, if that's the case, I'll invite you to treat, how about it?" Paul thinks Abby is looking too far in a woman's shoes.
Abby's bitter smile cleared in a puff of smoke, "But Paul, if that's the case, maybe I'm the first to need treatment!"
"Abby, we're only able to work together because we trust each other, and we don't have emotional entanglements!" Paul reiterates that this topic has not been a problem at all before.
"Paul, you're overreacting, you know me, I'm not that kind of woman!" Abby dissipated the smoke in front of her in an instant, she stood up, pinched out the cigarette she hadn't finished smoking, and threw it on the table, then came to Paul's side and gently pressed Paul's shoulder, "We are like shoulders to each other, we can rely on each other, but we will not be each other's influence!"
"That's good!" Paul stood up, "Take me to my destination, okay?"
"Of course!" Abby picked up his handbag and walked quickly in front of Paul in his sky-high heels......
********
When Paul knocked on the door again and stepped into Su Ziqi's hospital room, Su Ziqi had just woken up.
"Dr. Paul really lives up to his reputation, the time is really good, Ziqi has just woken up!" Zhong Zimu was not surprised by Paul's timely visit, and even calculated that he was coming.
"I'm just coming over to see if Miss Ziqi has recovered under my treatment!" Paul had already taken out his computer and was ready to start the second treatment for Su Ziqi.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Paul, Ziqi hasn't had lunch yet, do you think we are starting the treatment when Ziqi finishes lunch?" Zhong Zimu asked politely.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was so anxious to forget about this!" Paul put down his computer, "I can wait!"
"Would you like to dine with us, Mr. Paul?"
"Thanks, I've eaten!" Paul replied.
Zhong Zimu nodded when he saw this, and found the tableware, and after a while, someone brought lunch, Zhong Zimu and Su Ziqi sat in front of the meal and began to eat.
Dining under Paul's gaze, Su Ziqi seemed a little restrained, but Zhong Zimu was down-to-earth and generous, he served Su Ziqi dishes and rice from time to time, just like the demeanor of a male host, after the meal, Zhong Zimu also brought Su Ziqi tea and took care of Su Ziqi meticulously.
Paul could see that Zhong Zimu was just an ordinary act, not a demonstration against him, but this kind of silent statement was also obvious - no matter who he was going to marry, Su Ziqi was the person he loved the most!
As a psychiatrist, Paul can't fail to see what's going on here!
After Su Ziqi finished eating and everything was ready, Paul was ready to treat Su Ziqi again, at this time, Zhong Zimu offered to leave for a while, "Doctor Paul, I'm sorry, there is one thing I want to ask you, I have to go back to the company and have some things to deal with, can you please accompany Ziqi after the diagnosis and treatment until I come back?"
"Of course, no problem!" Paul nodded.
"Thank you!" Zhong Zimu put on his coat and said goodbye to Su Ziqi, and hurriedly walked out of the ward!
