Chapter 19: Chance Encounters

Liuying worked for Jing Min's courtyard for nearly a week to form a preliminary sketch, during which she communicated with Jing Min several times, and after several communications, she found that Jing Min was actually not such a tricky and eccentric person, on the contrary, she was very friendly and kind, probably because she was really lonely, and there was no one around her who could sit down and talk about homely things, so she often disguised herself as invulnerable. In her spare time, Liu Ying and Jing Min will listen to her on the phone, as long as she is willing to talk, Liu Ying also tries her best to be her audience, of course, her topic is never inseparable from her husband Gu Xianming. Hotaru likes to listen to the stories between her and her husband, because the beauty of memories is something that Hotaru doesn't have, and she can't imagine that a writer she respects will one day talk to her on the phone about her stories.

After a busy week and finally ushered in the weekend, Liuying really wanted to sleep well, she greeted Shen Youxia in advance and asked him not to wake her up on Saturday morning, Shen Youxia watched her immersed in work for a few days without a solid sleep, and also felt sorry for her, so she let her sleep on Saturday until she woke up naturally.

Ryuhotaru slept until noon before getting up and eating breakfast and lunch together.

"Even if you're a writer you like, you don't have to tire yourself out like that. Shen Youxia watched Liuying lie on the sofa after eating, and couldn't help but say a word.

Liuying glanced at Shen Youxia, he was actually drinking tea and reading a book leisurely, Liuying felt a little strange, so he asked, "Brother, aren't you going to the company today?"

Shen Youxia nodded, "Don't go, rest for a day." ”

Liu Ying smiled, got up and lay on the back of the sofa and said to Shen Youxia, "Otherwise, you will take a weekend off like me in the future." ”

Shen Youxia glanced at Liuying and said, "I wish I could take a vacation every day." ”

Liuying held her mouth, looked at Shen Youxia and thought for a while, and said, "Brother, let's go climb the mountain, maybe we can watch the sunrise tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Youxia closed the book and said, "Why do you suddenly want to climb the mountain? Let you walk around at home more and you are tired, you still go to climb the mountain? Don't ask me to carry you up like I did when I was a child, I can't carry you now." ”

Liuying glared at Shen Youxia and said dissatisfiedly: "Can you remember me well?" I'm not worried that you will sit for a long time and it will not be good for your waist, besides, you have given Shen Qiu that weight, you also have to strengthen your exercise and improve your physical fitness." ”

Shen Youxia smiled, stood up and said to Liuying, "Then you don't go to change your clothes." ”

Liuying laughed when she heard this, and just as she wanted to get up from the couch, her phone rang. She frowned, thinking to herself that this big weekend, Xia Midou was probably still lying in bed, who would call her.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Yang Shu. She stood up from the sofa at once, if it weren't for Yang Shu's phone call, she would have forgotten about the dinner party.

"Hey, Yang Shu. ”

"Hey, Liuying, have you had lunch?" Yang Shu asked on the other end of the phone.

Hotaru replied, "Just ate it." ”

"Then do you think it's appropriate for me to pick you up now?" Yang Shu asked.

Liuying looked at Shen Youxia with an apologetic look, and then looked at the retro clock on the wall, it was only half past one, so Liuying asked, "It's so early, isn't it just dinner at night?"

"Captain Zhou said let's find a place to chat for a while, and then go directly to dinner in the evening. Yang Shu explained.

Liuying thought for a moment before saying, "That's okay then." I'll send you the address later, and you can come over directly. ”

"Okay, then hang up first, see you later. ”

Liuying hung up the phone and sent the address to Yang Shu, then ran to Shen Youxia's side, looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother, I forgot that there was a dinner party today." ”

Shen Youxia rubbed Liuying's hair and said, "I really can't help you, I have to change my clothes for dinner, let's go." ”

"Then let's go hiking next week. Liu Ying said to Shen Youxia again.

"Okay, I'll go next week. ”

Liuying smiled and went upstairs to his room to change clothes, and in less than half an hour, Yang Shu arrived at the place where Liuying and them lived, and Shen Youxia sent Liuying out.

"Yang Shu. Liuying shouted when she saw Yang Shu.

"Fireflies. Yang Shu hurriedly stepped forward, he looked at a person standing behind Liuying, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at himself, so Yang Shu asked again, "Who is this?"

Liu Ying hurriedly said, "My brother." ”

"Hello. Yang Shu bowed slightly, and then said to Shen Youxia, "My name is Yang Shu, and I am a friend of Liuying." ”

"Where are you having dinner, and when is it going to end?" Shen Youxia ignored Yang Shu's self-introduction and asked directly.

Yang Shu looked at Liuying, and then said with a smile: "We have a buffet barbecue in Qianfeng Mountain for dinner, and I don't know how to arrange it in the evening, don't worry, I will definitely send Liuying back early." ”

"No, I'll pick her up before nine o'clock. Shen Youxia turned around and went in after speaking.

Liuying looked at Yang Shu with a slightly stunned expression, and thought that she wanted to come back early and didn't want to participate in any evening arrangements, so she explained to Yang Shu: "Our house curfew time is nine o'clock in the evening. ”

Yang Shu scratched his head, smirked, and said, "That's it, I thought it was ...... Let's go, then. ”

Liuying nodded, opened the back door and sat down, she saw Yang Shu want to stop talking, but she didn't say anything and then got into the car.

"Your own brother?" Yang Shu looked at the Liuying in the rearview mirror and asked.

Hotaru didn't know how to answer, so she nodded randomly.

"We've lived in Nairobi for two years, and I didn't even know you had an older brother. ”

Liuying looked out the window and said, "You didn't ask me again." ”

Yang Shu smiled again and said, "Yes, I didn't ask you." But at that time, you were often on the phone, and I guessed that you had a boyfriend. ”

Liuying said: "It's my brother, I don't have a boyfriend." ”

"What about you...... Have you ever thought about getting a boyfriend?" asked Yang Shu.

Liuying turned her head to look at Yang Shu, but could only see his silhouette, his jaw was tense, and the knuckles holding the steering wheel were a little white, Liuying thought, does it take so hard to drive, fortunately she didn't agree with Shen Youxia's suggestion to get a driver's license. Liuying thought for a while, and then thought of the touches that Jing Min brought to herself, and couldn't help but say: "I've thought about it, but this kind of thing can't be forced." ”

Yang Shu asked again, "Then do you have someone you like?"

Liuying was a little nervous by Yang Shu's two questions, she didn't know where this nervousness came from, but Liuying was not good at refusing questions from friends, so she asked rhetorically: "How do you like someone?"

Yang Shu looked at Liuying from time to time through the rearview mirror and said: "If you like someone, it is probably because her every move affects your nerves, and your joys, sorrows, and sorrows will be closely related to her..."

Liuying thought for a moment, and then said, "So you already have someone you like." ”

Yang Shu nodded after a while and said: "Well, but I'm particularly conflicted, because my profession is a doctor, and I spend more time in the hospital than at home, and the time I spend with her may not be as long as the time I spend with the patient, and I have to be on call twenty-four hours a day on vacation, and I may leave her at any time, and maybe I won't even have a full date, I don't know if she can accept me like this." ”

Liuying remembered what Xia Midou said, and encouraged Yang Shu and said: "If she really likes you, then she will like and tolerate everything about you, and she will also like your profession as a doctor, and she will understand the meaning of your profession." ”

"Really? Do you really think so?"

Hotaru smiled and said, "Hmm." ”

"Thank you. ”

Liuying didn't know why Yang Shu thanked her, she didn't speak again, along the way, Yang Shu would chat with her without a match, and Liuying also talked to him, but Liuying's mind was not on the content of the chat at all, and all she thought about in her head was the design drawing.

The destination was in an open-air dessert shop, and Liu Ying saw Zhou Yibing's onion-like head from a distance, shaking and waving to them, and Yang Shu also waved at them in response. Yang Shu and Liuying walked over one after another, everyone had already left the position of Yang Shu and Liuying, Yang Shu gentlemanly moved the chair away for Liuying, causing a commotion from everyone, Liuying didn't understand what they were making trouble and was not uncomfortable, bowed his head and said "thank you" and sat down.

After Liu Ying sat down, she saw Lu Yu in the glass house opposite, Lu Yu was also looking at her, sitting opposite Lu Yu was a man and a woman, it could be seen that it was a couple, Lu Yu seemed to say something to them, and then the two turned around, Liu Ying found out that it was Xia Midou, and the other one was Zhai Ran?

"What are you looking at?" Yang Shu followed Liuying's line of sight, "Your friend?"

Before Yang Shu finished speaking, Xia Midou called over, and Liuying got up and stood aside to answer the phone.

"Who are you with?" asked Xia Midou.

"Members of the volunteer team, there is a dinner party today. ”

"Dinner, why are you still entertaining all this? Xia Midou coughed lightly and said, "Eh, the one sitting next to you is the doctor, right?"

Liuying looked at the other side again, Xia Midou waved at her, and Liuying said: "Zhou Yibing, you know that I owe him a favor, so I agreed to come." ”

"Then would you like to come with us?" asked Xia Midou.

"Eh, are you and Zhai Ran back together?" Liu Ying couldn't help but ask, she heard Xia Midou say that Zhai Ran and Lu Ran are friends, and since Lu Ran is here, that person must be Zhai Ran.

Xia Midou replied, "Yes, do you want to come and introduce you officially?"

Liuying looked embarrassed and said, "It's not good, besides, it's all here, how can there be any reason to leave halfway." ”

"Oh well. Then we can only look at each other across the Chu River and the Han Realm. ”

"Okay, hang up. Liuying hung up the phone as she spoke.

She returned to her place, listening to their conversation about what had happened in Nairobi, and she couldn't interject, and she didn't like to interject. Everyone is accustomed to it, she was originally such a character.

After a while, the phone rang again, Lu Yu. Liuying felt a little inexplicable, looked up, and saw Xia Midou lying on the table for some reason, and Zhai Ran was very anxious on the side, Liuying hurriedly answered the phone.

"Can you come over?" Lu Yu asked directly.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, Xia Midou has a stomachache...... It's inconvenient for me to be with Zhai Ran, after all, she's a girl......"

Liuying understood when she heard it, and then said to Lu Yu, "I'll come over immediately." ”

Liuying whispered to Yang Shu: "I'm sorry, my friend is not feeling well, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Yang Shu hurriedly got up and said to her, "Then I'll go with you, I'm a doctor anyway." ”

Liu Ying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, she is...... Normal physiological phenomenon, it is inconvenient for you to go. ”

"Well, that's fine, call me for something. ”

Hotaru nodded, then explained to everyone a little before leaving.
