After returning to the room, Lu Jing’s phone vibrated several times.
Nurse Director and Xiao Tang had both sent several messages each.
"Doctor Lu, Captain Jiang is okay, right?"
"Anyone would be pissed off in that kind of situation, Doctor Lu, you need to coax Captain Jiang."
Every man’s possessiveness is unusually strong.
Not to mention, having witnessed it with his own eyes.
Lu Jing looked at these messages and had no idea how to respond.
In the end, he just typed two dry words:
Then he collapsed onto the bed and heaved a long sigh:
"What on earth is going on here?"
He thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.
Why was he thinking so much about it?
"Girl, what are you doing? It’s time to eat," called Lu’s mother from outside the door.
Only then did Lu Jing sit up:
"Got it, I’ll be right there."
He washed his face and hands in the bathroom, changed into home clothes, and then leisurely left his room.
At the dining room, all three were already seated.
Seeing Lu Jing come out, Jiang Ye stood up.
Who knew, Lu’s mother pressed him back down as soon just as he got up:
"Sit down, sit down." Thɪs chapter is updated by ⓝovelFire.net
Lu Jing watched this with no particular feeling, but he was quite interested in the big spread of dishes on the table.
"Dad, have you brought out decades of your savings for this?"
It was all his and Lu’s mother’s favorite dishes.
Mr. Lu was quite proud:
"What are you talking about? Ask your mom, how many delicious meals did I make for her when we were young?"
Lu’s mother actually nodded:
"Yes, your dad is right. I remember once during field teaching in the mountains, we only had wild produce, and your dad’s skill in grilling game was exceptional."
That was undeniably true.
Mr. Lu was a professor of geology, after all. His research was all about those things.
And Lu’s mother was a university teacher, so it was normal for them both to lead field teaching together.
Then, Jiang Ye interjected with a smile:
"Well, I’d like to learn from uncle sometime."
While talking, he glanced at Lu Jing from the corner of his eye.
Obviously, this message was for Lu Jing!
"Sure, I’ll teach you when I have some time, but learning these things will require time and effort, you need to be patient."
Now, the two seemed to have a closer relationship.
Lu Jing, however, picked up on the key point:
"Dad, don’t you have students to tutor? How do you have time to teach others?" she asked.
"I’ll have plenty of time in the future."
That sounded rather meaningful.
Fortunately, Lu’s mother clarified:
"Your dad has officially retired!"
"Really?" Lu Jing was surprised.
No wonder her parents had the time to visit her in Nanxi City, and stayed for a week.
How could that have been possible in the past?
The longest Mr. Lu had ever stayed at home was three days.
"Great, uncle, we should have a toast."
Mr. Lu was cheerfully agreeable:
"Yes, we should toast, definitely!"
Lu’s mother couldn’t help but say:
"Drink less, at your age, you’re not young anymore."
"Alright, alright, don’t I know my own body? Eat your meal, Xiao Ye and I will mind our drinks."
The two women exchanged looks and then let it go. It was a rare occasion, after all.
In the end, the mother and daughter finished their meal quite some time ago, but the two men in the dining room were still eating.
And it was clear that Mr. Lu was drunk, quite heavily so.
As for Jiang Ye, it was hard to tell for the moment.
It was only when Lu’s mother couldn’t stand it anymore that she stepped forward to stop them:
"Enough, stop drinking, you can drink again next time, there’s no rush."
Mr. Lu was already slumped on the table, how could he hear his partner’s words?
"Auntie, let me help uncle back to his room."
"Okay, are you alright, Xiao Ye?"
Jiang Ye smiled: "This much alcohol isn’t much to me."
To get drunk, it would take at least twice as much.
