A sudden and inexplicable sense of nervousness made him feel like his brain had suddenly crashed, unable to find his bearings, his mouth failing to speak.
After a while, Xie Wanying said, "If Teacher Chang doesnāt have anything else, Iāll head out first."
"Hey, waitā" In a moment of panic, Chang Jiawei reached out and grabbed her arm.
Whatās up? Xie Wanying turned her head and blinked.
"IāIāll see you offā" Chang Jiawei said as he felt his tongue tied as if wanting to slap himself twice to straighten it out.
"No need to trouble yourself, Teacher Chang. The bus station is very close by. I can take the route 18 directly to our school," Xie Wanying politely declined.
"No, itās like this," with great difficulty locating his tongue, Chang Jiawei swallowed twice more urgently and told her, "You previously agreed to let me treat you to a meal. Donāt forget."
That matter? Didnāt the senior just jokingly mention it?
"How could I be joking with you? Donāt listen to othersā nonsense. I do what I say," Chang Jiawei stated seriously, with some anger at others spreading false words about him.
So the senior came to Beidou Third Hospital today for?
"I initially planned to eat lunch with you, but something came up unexpectedly," Chang Jiawei mentioned, recalling the bizarre occurrence at lunch today, his brows furrowing in confusion. The information from fellow Dr. Guan couldnāt explain what happened at noon.
"Itās no big deal, Teacher Chang doesnāt really need to treat me," Xie Wanying said. Even though she agreed, she felt she hadnāt done anything for Teacher Chang, and having him treat her to a one-on-one meal seemed inappropriate.
Seeing the hint of hesitation on her face, Chang Jiawei picked up his phone and said, "Iāve also invited your Teacher Fu out for a meal together."
Teacher Fu coming to eat. Xie Wanyingās eyes lit up like fireflies in the dark night.
Watching her expression, Chang Jiawei grinned, not caring whether heād used his old classmate as bait. While dialing Fu Xinheng, he told her, "Thatās it, letās have your Teacher Fu join us."
Thinking of getting close to Teacher Fu to inquire about the possibility of staying in thoracic surgery in the future, Xie Wanying didnāt refuse anymore.
Ringing, he dialed, and once the line connected, Chang Jiawei bluntly said to the person, "I know you should still be hungry by now. Come join us for hotpot. Weāre going to the Li Paiās weāve been to before, Iāve reserved a table." After finishing, he abruptly hung up.
Xie Wanying watched in shock: Like this? Without waiting for a reply? Wouldnāt Teacher Fu be angry?
"Get in the car, get in the car," Chang Jiawei urged her to get in to prevent her from changing her mind, telling her, "Your Teacher Fu isnāt as serious as you think. No need to be afraid of him."
Is that really true? All I remember is the guys in my class are terrified of Teacher Fu. Xie Wanying pondered with a question mark in her heart.
On the other side, Fu Xinheng answered the phone, listening as a barrage of directives from fellow student Chang suddenly poured down, leaving him somewhat stunned. There was no time for him to agree or disagree before Chang Jiawei hung up.
This unusual behavior from his friend left him staring at his phone in silence for a while. Considering heād need dinner anyway, he packed up and left the office. He tried calling back mid-way, but for some reason, Chang Jiawei didnāt pick up. Fu Xinheng furrowed his brows twice, pondering the unusually abnormal behavior of his old classmate heād never seen before.
