Ye Xingchen naturally heard Lou Xi's invitation, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Lou Xi didn't give her a chance. After saying that, he ran down the stairs, and his tall figure disappeared into the gray corridor.
Ye Xingchen was a little annoyed. She didn't think there was any reason for the two of them to have dinner together.
After touring the ward, it soon reached noon, and the medical staff in the department took turns preparing to go to dinner.
"Oh, it's almost time, I'm almost starving to death!"
"Me too, I didn't eat anything in the morning. Come on, it's Tuesday. There will be extra food in the cafeteria!"
"Dr. Ye, are you done? Let's go to the cafeteria together?"
Faced with the warm greetings of her colleagues, Ye Xingchen wanted to agree, but Lou Xi's invitation came first, so she had to decline politely, "Sorry, I still have a report to write, you go ahead."
"Okay then, let's go first."
Ye Xingchen nodded with a smile and watched her colleagues leave. She looked at her watch and saw that it was five minutes past twelve. She quickly grabbed her phone and wallet and went downstairs.
The Sichuan restaurant Lou Xi agreed on was right opposite the military hospital. The red signboard could be seen across the road. Ye Xingchen stood at the zebra crossing waiting for the traffic light. When the red light turned green, she quickly crossed it.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the Sichuan restaurant, she smelled a spicy smell, and she frowned subconsciously.
Although she has been in the city of Yunchuan for seven years, she is still not used to the environment here, including the climate and food. She doesn't like spicy food.
But now that she was already here, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.
After passing through the automatic glass door, the waiter in the restaurant said politely, "Welcome, how many ladies are there?"
"You two." Ye Xingchen said as he looked towards the dining area, looking around, but did not find Lou Xi.
She was taken to a location that was not too obvious but not too biased. The waiter served tea and she waited patiently.
The restaurant's business was very good and almost overcrowded. Because Ye Xingchen was sitting in the lobby, the environment was a bit noisy, but she was not affected too much. She looked through the address book on her mobile phone and silently memorized the phone number.
The military hospital requires medical staff to turn on their phones 24 hours a day, but sometimes their phones run out of battery and sometimes have poor signal. Deputy Director Li told her to memorize frequently used phone numbers as much as possible in case of emergencies.
In front of life, time is everything.
Time passed by minute by second, and by the time Ye Xingchen had memorized two or three pages of numbers, Lou Xi hadn't come yet.
Ye Xingchen looked at the time. It was already twelve forty. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. He actually missed the appointment?
Although she didn't think it was necessary for them to have dinner together, it wouldn't be right for him to propose it and then miss the date, right?
There were some doubts in his heart, but there was not much time before he went to work at one o'clock. Ye Xingchen had no time to think too much, so he quickly ordered a dish and a bowl of rice, and swallowed it whole.
After returning to the hospital, Ye Xingchen first went to Li Yi's Ward 311. She didn't think Lou Xi would deliberately play tricks on her, but she still wanted to know why he missed the appointment.
