Chapter 228: Night Banquet

As soon as Cheng Xuedong said this, not only Li Mengmeng was stunned, but even Nan Binghuai was quite surprised.

"Xiao Cheng, what the hell is going on?"

Cheng Xuedong saw that Teacher Nan's face became solemn, and he quickly explained: "This year, I spent most of my time in Qianxi, which is full of highlands, and it is an area where water is scarce. We have to save and save even drinking water. Therefore, if you can wash your hands on a regular basis, it is simply the most luxurious thing. โ€

Li Mengmeng was extremely surprised: "Since the environment is bad there, why do you put Tianyan in that ghost place?" โ€

Cheng Xuedong explained with a smile: "Isn't it because of the unique geographical location there? Regardless of geographical and strategic considerations, the Sky Eye is suitable for an area surrounded by mountains. โ€

"So why are you going to work there?"

Cheng Xuedong smiled indifferently: "Mengmeng, don't worry, when there is a big infrastructure construction there, all the problems will be solved." โ€

Nan Binghuai groaned: "But it's going to be a pain for those who open up the wasteland." โ€

Immediately, he set his respectful gaze on Cheng Xuedong.

Cheng Xuedong didn't care: "It's nothing for us to suffer, as long as we can contribute our modest efforts to the national Tianyan Project, even if we are broken." โ€

Nan Binghuai's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he had to take off his glasses and wipe them.

Li Mengmeng couldn't help but sigh: "Who knows the hardships of you scientific and technological workers who are engaged in a noble mission?" โ€

Nan Binghuai wiped his glasses, quickly put them back on the bridge of his nose, and said in a solemn tone: "In our business, if you don't have the spirit of dedication, you won't be able to do anything." โ€

Li Mengmeng's eyes swept away, and suddenly found that Liu Yan appeared at the door unconsciously, listening to their conversation, and her eyebrows were slightly thoughtful.

"Sister is back?"

Liu Yan listened to Li Mengmeng's greeting, then came to her senses, and nodded while continuing to move inside.

Nan Binghuai saw that she was back, and hurriedly greeted Cheng Xuedong: "Xiao Cheng, since the host of this dinner party requires us to wash our hands, we can only be respectful and obey our orders." โ€

Cheng Xuedong nodded again and again, and stretched out his hand to Nan Binghuai to signal: "Teacher Nan, please first, right?" โ€

Nan Binghuai naturally didn't need to be polite to the students, he walked out of the door first, and Cheng Xuedong followed closely.

Liu Yan had already approached the 'dining table' at this time, and showed a grateful look at Li Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, thank you." โ€

Li Mengmeng tilted her neck at her: "What are you thanking me for?" โ€

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner."

"Alas!" Li Mengmeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You and I hit it off at first sight, just like sisters, do you still need to be polite to me?" โ€

Liu Yan smiled lightly: "Since Meng Meng said so, I will treat you as my own sister." โ€

Li Mengmeng's heart suddenly moved: "You just came today?" โ€

Liu Yan nodded indifferently: "Hmm." โ€

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"An observatory, of course." Liu Yan continued, "I heard Xuedong say that there are also girls' dormitories here. โ€

"Is it okay there?"

"I don't know, I haven't settled there yet. However, I heard Xuedong say that the conditions there are better than the boys' dormitory, and they have not been inhabited for a long time. โ€

Unexpectedly, Li Mengmeng frowned: "That's okay?" Since you haven't lived for a long time, you're bound to have a moldy smell, especially after dog days. โ€

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It doesn't matter, I will change the air inside when I move in." โ€

"Well, that's an afterthought, why are you staying tonight?"

"Don't worry, I can make do with it, and I can spend the night."

Li Mengmeng shook her head lightly: "This is not good, you just came back from Qianxi, you must be tired of the saddle horse, what if you don't have a good rest for the first night?" Maybe you'll get sick. โ€

"Mengmeng, you're too worried, how can I be so fragile?"

"But after all, you are a girl with a skeleton, you must be very squeamish, listen to me right, I am studying medicine."

Liu Yan pondered: "Then what should I do?" โ€

"You can go outside for a few nights, and then move back to live when the dormitory is ready."

"Are you persuading me to go out and stay in a hotel?"

"Ahem! Since I'm here, can I let you go to the hotel? You can live in my house! โ€

"This... Is it appropriate to live in your home? โ€

Li Mengmeng nodded again and again: "Suitable, suitable!" You can ask Brother Cheng, my house is very big and there are many rooms, and there are no men. It's very convenient for you to stay in. โ€

Liu Yan showed a surprised look: "Could it be that Xuedong has been to your house?" โ€

Li Mengmeng tilted her head and asked, "Isn't it possible?" โ€

Liu Yan felt her gaffe, and her face turned embarrassed: "Of course you can." โ€

Li Mengmeng chuckled: "He went with Brother Xiaoguang." โ€

Liu Yan said "oh" and didn't ask anything more, but she was very ashamed in her heart, what happened to her, did she have no confidence because the other party was beautiful?

Li Mengmeng remembered Liu Xiaoguang's panicked and anxious expression when he went to rescue Xiao Shuyun, and her heart suddenly felt a little emotional, and her expression was a little distracted.

Liu Xiaoguang rushed back with tableware and two hot dishes, and when he saw that there were only two girls in the studio, not only did he not see Nan Binghuai, but even Cheng Xuedong was gone.

He was a little panicked in his heart, very worried about the urgent work and spoiled the dinner, when he found that they were both a little absent-minded, he quietly approached his girlfriend: "Mengmeng? โ€

"Huh?"

Li Mengmeng was taken aback, her body trembled slightly, and she looked up at him in amazement.

Liu Xiaoguang realized that she was frightened, and quickly apologized first: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." โ€

Li Mengmeng quickly recovered, and quickly smiled honestly: "It's okay, I was just distracted just now." โ€

Liu Xiaoguang's face slowed down: "What about Lao Cheng?" โ€

"He went to the bathroom with Professor Nan."

"Oh, isn't Professor Nan angry?"

"Hehe, if I invite him to dinner, will it still make people angry?"

Liu Xiaoguang smiled and said: "It's not you who provoked it, but I teased people before." โ€

"Don't worry, Professor Nan is a kind-hearted old man, how can he bother with you? Wait a moment for them to come back, and you'll act as if nothing happened. โ€

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Li Mengmeng took the tableware her boyfriend took from the cafeteria at this time and began to put it away. Liu Yan was embarrassed to stand by and watch, and hurriedly went to pick up the two hot dishes on the other party's plate.

"Teacher Liu, what kind of dish is this?"

Since Liu Yan is from the south, she does not know the names of the two dishes he brought from the cafeteria.

Liu Xiaoguang first enthusiastically introduced the names of the two dishes, and then said with concern: "I wonder if you, a southern girl, can get used to our northern meals?" โ€

Liu Yan hurriedly said: "There is no problem. When I was in Qianxi, I accompanied Xuedong to eat Northeast cuisine. โ€

"Yes, Lao Cheng spends a lot of time in the north, and he especially likes to eat Northeast food."

Liu Yan said "um", "I also like to eat." โ€

At this time, Nan Binghuai and Cheng Xuedong had already walked back one after the other.

Nan Binghuai really didn't bother with Liu Xiaoguang who deceived him, maybe he had forgotten it, when he saw the dazzling array of delicacies on that 'dining table', he suddenly said excitedly: "Meng Meng is really not simple, he can actually make so many good dishes!" โ€

Li Mengmeng hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed to the two dishes that were newly served: "These two dishes were brought by Brother Xiaoguang from the cafeteria." โ€

Nan Binghuai's gaze swept to the other six dishes: "It's also great that Meng Meng can cook these dishes." In the future, Xiao Liu will have a good mouth. โ€

Liu Xiaoguang took a closer look at the dishes sent by his girlfriend, in addition to his favorite button meat, the other dishes are also very in line with his appetite, and they are basically dishes that he often eats at home. He couldn't help but move in his heart, Meng Meng was really well-intentioned, and he had already learned about his appetite from Shuyun.

However, he didn't know how Mengmeng, a girl who doesn't often do housework, could suddenly make a dish he likes to eat?

In fact, the real chef Xiao Shuyun was watching alone on the balcony of that mansion, looking up at the moon that had just risen. The autumn moon was so gorgeous, but it didn't bring her a trace of excitement, and her eyes were clouded with a layer of melancholy. Today's Xiao Shuyun can only dispel her inner melancholy by reminiscing about the bits and pieces of Liu Xiaoguang's past.

In addition, in the huge studio of the observatory, the five of them finally sat together.

Liu Xiaoguang became the host because this table of food was his girlfriend's masterpiece, and he couldn't help but confess a few words, so he raised a beer can (he bought a case of canned beer from the internal commissary), and said loudly: "This meal is considered to be for Lao Cheng and Yan'er to wash the dust, first toast the two of you - you have worked hard!" โ€

Li Mengmeng also boldly picked up a can of beer and went straight to Liu Yan beside her: "I also salute Brother Cheng and Sister Cheng." โ€

Cheng Xuedong usually doesn't have any politeness with him, but in front of his girlfriends, he has to be polite.

Liu Yan expressed her gratitude and respectfully accepted the other party's respect.

Nan Binghuai didn't respect them, but said in a tone full of affection: "Xiao Cheng and Miss Yan'er are very hard, not to mention the saddle horse fatigue along the way, just saying that experiencing so many difficulties in the foundation of Qianxi is not a taste that ordinary people can experience." Although the final construction of the Tianyan project has not yet been carried out, many of us have already paid great sacrifices for it. โ€

When Cheng Xuedong and Liu Yan heard this, they immediately thought of Wang Shuzhen, and couldn't help but hang their heads sadly.

Li Mengmeng saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she hurriedly suggested: "Since my sister is a Kurama Lotton, go to my house to relax tonight." โ€

When Liu Yan heard her bring up this matter again, she couldn't help but glance at Cheng Xuedong, obviously asking him to make up his mind.

Cheng Xuedong was surprised: "Mengmeng, do you mean to let Yan'er go with you?" โ€

"Yes. She has to get some rest tonight, but your dormitory may not be able to provide good enough conditions. So I want Sister Yan'er to come and stay at my house for a few days. โ€

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and they were all surprised by her proposal.

Li Mengmeng took the opportunity to add: "I will send her back during working hours, so that she can be car-picked and sent every time she goes back and forth!" โ€

Cheng Xuedong frowned: "Isn't it too troublesome for you to do this?" โ€

"It's fine. I'm currently researching 'muscle and bone maintenance', and I have plenty of spare time, and I'm usually very lonely, so Sister Yan'er happens to be my companion. โ€

Cheng Xuedong's mind immediately thought of her family's big house, and couldn't help asking, "Does Shuyun still live with you?" โ€

Li Mengmeng nodded: "Of course, but because she is worried about the company's affairs, she goes out early and returns late every day, and she rarely has time to accompany me." โ€

As soon as Liu Xiaoguang heard them mention his ex-wife, his expression became a little unnatural, but he was curious about the 'musculoskeletal maintenance' that his girlfriend just mentioned, so he changed the topic: "Mengmeng, what is 'musculoskeletal maintenance'?" โ€

In order to let everyone understand the new things she has learned, Li Mengmeng hurriedly explained - "The so-called muscle and bone maintenance is a method of physiotherapy..."

As soon as Liu Yan heard the word 'physiotherapy', she immediately thought of the scene where she followed Dr. Liao's proposal and played tricks in Sister Shuzhen's bedroom in order to cover up in front of Xiaowei, and couldn't help blurring her eyes. Although a long time has passed, although she and Wang Shuzhen do not seem to be related by blood, but the feeling of companionship alone is enough to make her feelings for Wang Shuzhen better than all relatives.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Li Mengmeng, and no one paid attention to her secretly crying, including Cheng Xuedong.

Liu Yan quickly adjusted her mood and continued to listen to Li Mengmeng's narration-

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Musculoskeletal therapy techniques stimulate the meridian acupuncture points or specific parts of the human body through different forms of methods. Some of them are mainly massage, such as pushing, holding, mentioning, and juju. The liver meridian, gallbladder meridian, bladder meridian, etc. are the main massage meridians. In order to achieve relaxation of tendons, dissipation and neutralization, and improve blood circulation. In addition, it excludes rheumatism and cold into the bones, and regenerates cartilage ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

After Li Mengmeng spoke for a long time, her voice was almost hoarse, and she quickly picked up the beer can and poured a big sip happily.

Liu Xiaoguang was half-understood when he heard this, and when he saw that his girlfriend said that he was tired, he hurriedly persuaded: "Mengmeng, don't worry, slow down." โ€

Li Mengmeng moistened her throat for a while, and then spoke again: "I'd better stay, I'm afraid it's okay to talk to you scientists about muscle and bone maintenance..." We're wasting your precious time. โ€

Cheng Xuedong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't say 'playing the piano to the cow'." โ€

Li Mengmeng pouted: "Look at yours? To you high-level intellectuals, I am simply an ignorant little woman, how dare I be so presumptuous to you. โ€

Nan Binghuai faced her with a kind smile: "Meng Meng is really low-key, in fact, what you say really makes us not understand, what is the difference between this and 'playing the piano to the cow'?" As the saying goes, there is a succession in the art industry, and there is a specialization. You must know a lot of things that we don't understand, such as medical knowledge. โ€

Li Mengmeng chuckled: "It's still Professor Nan's speech that has a level!" โ€

Nan Binghuai smiled indifferently and encouraged her again.

Liu Xiaoguang took the opportunity to persuade: "Mengmeng, since Professor Nan recognizes you so much, why don't you pay tribute to his old man?" โ€

Li Mengmeng hurriedly opened a can of beer for Nan Binghuai and handed it to him.

Nan Binghuai took it with a smile, and said affectionately: "Actually, we should all respect Meng Meng." You are a girl outside our Tianyan scientific research team, but in order to support our career, you really have to endure too much, and you are still immersed in the grief of losing your father, so you cheer up and reward your boyfriend who is devoting himself to the Tianyan project. Your efforts are definitely eligible to receive a medal of the Tianyan Project! โ€
