Hua Tao and Lin Chengyan met at about one o'clock at noon, and the place was a western restaurant near the hospital.

She had already thought of an excuse to go out alone, but it happened that Xia Sheng was going to receive a partner in the morning and invite him to dinner at noon, so she even saved the excuse.

When he arrived at the agreed restaurant, Lin Chengyan was already sitting there with a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Sorry, I'm late." Hua Tao walked to the table, Lin Chengyan quickly stood up and pulled a chair for her, she thanked her, and apologized with a smile after sitting down.

Lin Chengyan picked up the mobile phone on the desktop, looked at the time on the screen, and said with a smile: "You are not late, five minutes earlier than the agreed time." ”

The waiter walked over and handed the menu to the two of them, and Hua Tao took a quick look at it, then asked for a set menu.

Lin Chengyan also closed the menu at this time and asked for a steak.

"Seven ripe, I want lemon juice, thank you."

After the waiter left, Lin Chengyan picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, then looked at Hua Tao and asked with a smile: "You said you want to ask me for help with something?" ”

He asked so directly, Hua Tao didn't save the opening remarks, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I want you to help me identify what kind of medicine this is." ”

As she spoke, she took out the napkin-wrapped pills from her handbag and handed them to Lin Chengyan across the table.

Lin Chengyan took it, opened the tissue, and took a look at the contents with a little surprise.

"Where did you get that?"

Hua Tao suddenly became a little nervous, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her whole body leaned against the table: "What?" What kind of medicine is this? ”

Lin Chengyan knew that Hua Tao had misunderstood, and hurriedly smiled: "I just took a look, where do I know what kind of medicine it is, and I have to go back to identify it." I just wanted to ask how you got it. ”

Hua Tao pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I saw Xia Sheng taking this medicine." ”

Lin Chengyan couldn't help laughing: "Dare to love you, are you still afraid that he will take medicine indiscriminately?" He's such a big man......"

Hua Tao lowered her eyes and interrupted him lightly: "What if you see Sihua secretly taking medicine from you?" ”

Lin Chengyan couldn't laugh anymore this time.

He asked curtly, "Xia Sheng secretly took this medicine from you?" So how did you find out? ”

Hua Tao raised her head and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant, the autumn sun was soft, falling on the street covered with dead leaves, pedestrians coming and going, this scene was very similar to a scene in some movie.

Especially with the melodies of English flowing slowly in the restaurant.

Hua Tao said in a low voice: "When I was with him, I couldn't help but look at him, so I naturally saw it." ”

Lin Chengyan smiled, and he understood Hua Tao's feelings very well.

Just like him.

As long as Tao Sihua was by his side, he couldn't help but look at her.

Looking at it brightly, looking secretly, I can't wait to hang my eyes on each other.

Lin Chengyan rewrapped the pills and put them in his jacket pocket.

"No problem, I can help you with this."

This answer was completely expected by Hua Tao, before she came to Lin Chengyan, she knew that the other party would definitely help her.

"Thanks." She thought for a moment and added, "Don't make a big deal about it. ”

Lin Chengyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say." ”

Lin Chengyan promised this, Hua Tao was really relieved, she always felt that Dr. Lin was a very mature and stable person, who knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to measure.

However, this time she was looking at the wrong person.

Dr. Lin's understanding of advance and retreat and knowing the balance was not the same thing at all when he met Tao Sihua.

The meeting between him and Hua Tao at noon was actually known to Tao Sihua.

Coincidentally, Tao Sihua asked a friend to go shopping in a department store, and just happened to pass by the Western restaurant, and accidentally saw through the floor-to-ceiling glass the two people who seemed to be talking happily inside.

I also saw him open the paper towel that Hua Tao handed over, revealing the unknown pills inside.

That night, Lin Chengyan invited Tao Sihua out for dinner, and Tao Sihua agreed.

With a knock on the side, she easily knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.

At first, she was just curious, but after knowing that it was about Xia Sheng, she became solemn.

Lin Chengyan just lost her memory, not stupid, she could naturally see her thoughts about Xia Sheng, but she kept holding back and didn't break it, and she was secretly painful in her heart.

"Can you tell me when the results are in?" Tao Sihua asked.

Lin Chengyan was unprincipled in front of her, and almost everything was prioritized by her wishes, and he said immediately: "I can tell you." ”

Tao Sihua couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw his aggrieved look.

"I'm friends with Xia Sheng, so naturally I'm worried."

Lin Chengyan said sullenly: "Oh, I understand. ”

Tao Sihua looked at him like that, obviously didn't believe it, and suddenly became a little angry, feeling that why should she draw a snake to explain, even if she was clearly concerned about Xia Sheng's affairs, Lin Chengyan was not hers, she was worried about who would be in charge of him and when.

Lin Chengyan saw the displeasure on Tao Sihua's face, and knew that it was his attitude that angered her, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said flatteringly: "I heard a few cold jokes today, tell you about it?" ”

Tao Sihua said lightly: "If you want to say it, just say it." Even though she didn't really want to hear it.

But just now he agreed to his request, and now it's not good to be too cold to him, even if he doesn't want to deal with him anymore, he still wants to pretend.

Lin Chengyan thought of what he thought was the funniest and said: "Ask, a rabbit races against a turtle that runs very fast, who wins in the end?" Answer, turtle. Why? Again, because it was a turtle that ran very fast. Hahaha. ”

Tao Sihua: "......"

Lin Chengyan smiled halfway, froze, made persistent efforts, and thought of another one: "Ask, a rabbit races against a turtle wearing sunglasses, who wins in the end?" Answer, turtle. Again: Why? And he replied, because the turtle took off his sunglasses, and it was the one who ran fast just now. Hahahahaha. ”

Tao Sihua: "......"

Lin Chengyan's laughter stopped vividly.

Dr. Lim's bad joke is really cold.

……

The ingredients of the pills turned out to be out, and the first one to know was Hua Tao.

She hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief, and the heart she had been carrying was finally relieved.

It's really just a vitamin pill, she laughed at herself for thinking too much, and she was stunned to imagine real life as an idol drama in the country of sticks.

The second one who knows is Tao Sihua.

"Vitamin tablets?" She repeated the other man's words, her brow furrowed.

"Yes, there can be no mistake." On the other end of the phone, Lin Chengyan's tone was firm and authentic.

Tao Sihua pinched his mobile phone, paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, and his eyes fell on the tall buildings in the distance.

"I see." She said lightly.

"Do you have time to go out to dinner tonight?" Lin Chengyan took the opportunity to invite.

Tao Sihua already knew what he wanted to know, and happily crossed the bridge and drew the board: "I'm not free tonight, I made an appointment with a friend." ”

Lin Chengyan was disappointed for a while, but he couldn't show it, so he laughed dryly and said, "Then let's make an appointment next time you are free." ”

Tao Sihua hung up the phone.

Standing by the windowsill for a moment, she pursed her lips and finally unlocked the screen as if she had made up her mind.

She dialed Xia Sheng's number.

There were three rings on the other end, and someone picked it up.

"Sihua?" Xia Sheng's voice was low and magnetic, and the tail note dragged on a little long, with a lazy taste.

Tao Sihua said: "It's me." Are you free tonight, I want to have a meal with you. ”

After saying this, she immediately felt the nervousness and apprehension in Dr. Lin's heart two minutes ago.

Both anticipation and fear of disappointment.

According to past experience, Xia Sheng would not easily agree to meet her alone.

After all, she had thought of him indifferently.

Now that he was about to become her brother-in-law, he had to avoid it even more.

It's just that surprisingly, Xia Sheng agreed very simply.

"Okay, what time do you get off work, I'll drive to Jinsheng to pick you up."

Tao Sihua was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses happily: "I got off work at half past five." ”

"I'll see you later." Xia Sheng said.

Now it's only half an hour before the end of work.

Indeed, we will meet later.

Tao Sihua no longer had the heart to work, and kept standing in front of the window, his mind fluttering.

She couldn't give up on Xia Sheng from beginning to end.

What you can't say is the best. What's more, she is such an arrogant person, the first time she tasted the taste of not being able to ask for it, and at the same time she was sad, she was even more unwilling.

She tried to let go, and thought she could really let go.

In the days when Lin Chengyan faked his death, she was not without sadness, she thought she had fallen in love with Lin Chengyan, but it wasn't until Lin Chengyan came back to life that she found out that she didn't seem to love so much.

Especially when he woke up, he completely forgot about her.

I forgot how he had hurt her, how he had humiliated her, and how he had been madly obsessed with her as a stand-in.

Lin Chengyan, who has forgotten all this, is no longer Lin Chengyan.

Although the man's eyes still lit up and he was fascinated every time he saw her, Tao Sihua became more and more impatient with him.

After all, I still remember the man who doesn't belong to me.

The more you can't get it, the more you want it.

Even if you still can't get it in the end, you don't want other women to get it.

Even though the man was her sister.

When the clock showed half-past five, she picked up her handbag and left the office.

Xia Sheng's car really stopped at the door of the company, and the noble son stood tall, leaning lazily on the car door, with a cigarette in his mouth.

The girls who passed by him all looked back at him without exception, and some of them even took out their mobile phones to take pictures secretly.

Tao Sihua walked over and said with a smile: "Senior Xia, have you been waiting for a long time?" ”

"Just arrived." Xia Sheng went around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and asked her to get into the car with his hand on the roof.

Tao Sihua sat in, because the two were close just now, and she smelled the warm mint fragrance on his body.

Her heart beat a few beats faster.

Xia Sheng threw the cigarette on the ground, raised his foot to extinguish it, and then got into the car.

"What do you want to eat?" Instead of driving right away, he turned to look at her.

Tao Sihua smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet, what advice do you have?" ”

Xia Sheng glanced at her and joked: "I don't dare to make up my mind for you, I don't know if pregnant women need to avoid food." ”

Tao Sihua subconsciously raised his hand to stroke his slightly bulging belly, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Then go to Haojue, the chef there has good skills." ”

Xia Sheng had no opinion, fastened his seat belt, and started the engine.

The car was gone.

"Did you just shoot it?" A tall, thin man stepped out from behind the big banyan tree.

"What do you say?" Immediately afterward, a slightly shorter man came out.

He has a DSLR camera in his hand.
