Some kind of indescribable feeling spread in Ye Xingchen's heart. She didn't know what kind of feeling it was. Annoyance? Embarrassment? Loss?
She shook her head, unable to clear her thoughts, so she had to pick up the cup and take a sip of juice.
Opposite him, Zuo Lingfeng frowned slightly, "Dr. Ye, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." She responded politely.
"Is the food here to your taste?" Zuo Lingfeng smiled back at her, and his handsome face attracted the attention of several women at the next table.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, "It tastes good."
"Doctor Ye is a graduate of the Military Medical University?" Zuo Lingfeng continued the conversation.
"I haven't officially graduated yet. I am now in the internship stage of my third year of graduate school."
"You are excellent!" Zuo Lingfeng praised.
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled and responded humbly, "Thank you, Mr. Zuo is a young talent. Even the head nurse of our department is your fan."
"Oh? I'm really flattered." Zuo Lingfeng toasted to her and said humorously, "A toast to you and the head nurse."
Ye Xingchen also raised his glass quickly, "Thank you."
The crystal wine glass gently struck in the air and made a nice crisp sound, attracting the attention of a man diagonally opposite.
"Doctor Ye, do you owe Battalion Commander Lou any money?" Zuo Lingfeng met Shanglou Xi's gaze.
"Huh?" Ye Xingchen followed Zuo Lingfeng's gaze and saw Lou Xi's scorching black eyes and a chill on his face.
She quickly looked away, "Mr. Zuo, do you know Battalion Commander Lou?"
"Of course, I used to be a soldier." Zuo Lingfengyun said in a calm tone, but a glimmer of light quickly flashed across his dark eyes.
Ye Xingchen was a little surprised, "Really? Are you comrades in arms?"
Zuo Lingfeng looked like a young man from an aristocratic family, and it was hard for her to imagine him wearing a military uniform and holding a gun.
"Yeah, but I haven't seen him for a long time, and I didn't expect that he already has a girlfriend." He said casually.
"..."
"She looks good and has a good temperament. She should be a lady among everyone."
"Yes." She sighed slightly, Hongyu was really good, smart and beautiful, both inside and outside, and had a good personality.
Zuo Lingfeng suddenly turned his gaze back and looked at Ye Xingchen with deep meaning.
She breathed heavily and subconsciously clenched the wine glass.
"I think Dr. Ye is better. He is beautiful, well-educated, and very kind." He hit the point in every sentence, comparing her with Hongyu.
Ye Xingchen's face turned pale, could he read minds?
"Mr. Zuo thinks highly of me too much." Her eyelashes trembled slightly to hide her inner panic.
"I'm serious." Zuo Lingfeng stared slightly, with an unspeakable meaning in his eyes, "In my eyes, you are the best."
Ye Xingchen was startled, and quickly picked up the cup and took another sip, but suddenly choked due to nervousness.
"Cough...cough..." She turned her back on the dining table and coughed violently, covering her mouth.
Zuo Lingfeng immediately stood up, walked to her, put his big hand on her back, and patted her gently, "Are you okay?"
"Cough..." The juice choked her trachea. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak. She felt very rude.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, it'll be fine in a moment." Zuo Lingfeng didn't mind at all, running his big hand down her back.
"No...cough...no need..." Ye Xingchen turned sideways to dodge his movements.
Zuo Lingfeng paused and looked at the corners of her eyes that were slightly red due to the violent cough. He couldn't help but sigh and took out a tissue.
His hand just moved towards her, "wipe..."
"I suggest you stay away from her!" A cold and stern voice suddenly hovered above the two of them.
Lou Xi came closer at some point, his tall figure full of threats.
