After he said that, Lu Jing couldn’t help but secretly wipe away a sweat.
He had never told such a blatant lie in his life!
Tan Xiaofeng and Jia Yuqing exchanged glances:
"Fine, we’ll reluctantly believe you this time."
You can’t exactly pry it open, right?
Anyway, this matter will eventually become clear!
The little girl still thinks she’s so good at hiding it.
When he was almost done eating, Lu Jing went to the restroom.
Returning, he caught a glimpse of two figures at the stair entrance of the second floor and was instantly stunned.
How could it be them?
It was utterly incredible!
One of them was Jiang Qiu, whom Lu’s mother had mentioned on the phone at noon.
And the person sitting across from Jiang Qiu, if not Gu Xiyue, then who else could it be?
Were the two of them that close in private?
Was he seeing things?
Jiang Qiu was actually serving food to Gu Xiyue with a pleasing look on her face?
Both people inside seemed to sense something and looked over in this direction.
Because of the angle, you couldn’t see this side from inside.
But Lu Jing didn’t stay long and quickly went upstairs.
Unaware that, not long after, the two perceptive individuals left the hot pot restaurant.
"Doctor Lu, come on, the new duck intestines are up."
Actually, Lu Jing was full a long time ago, and after seeing those two just now, he really didn’t have an appetite anymore.
"You guys eat, I’m full."
"Ah? You only ate that little?"
Knowing that everyone meant no harm, Lu Jing honestly replied:
"My stomach hasn’t been great these past few years, I can only eat so much."
Medical staff, more or less, all have some stomach issues, after all, there isn’t really time to eat when things get busy.
"Alright then, we’ll eat!"
Leaving the hot pot restaurant nearly an hour later.
When he heard that both roommates’ boyfriends wouldn’t be leaving tonight and would be staying in the dorm, he was completely disheveled.
If they don’t leave, then...
But it’s really hard to say anything in such a situation.
They’re two couples, after all!
The minority must follow the majority, right?
For a moment, Lu Jing even thought about finding a hotel outside to make do for the night, but unfortunately, he didn’t bring his ID card.
So when he returned to the dorm, he went back to his room with great presence of mind.
"Got work in the morning, good night everyone."
Yes, as long as there are no emergencies in the department, he absolutely won’t open the door tonight!
"Doctor Lu, good night."
"Good night." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noⅴelfire.net
He dashed back to his room.
After closing the door, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
It’s really hard to avoid these situations when living with several roommates.
Well, just endure it for tonight.
But really, when deep into the night, the torture had only just begun.
And it was a double torture.
One moment this side, the next moment that side, it was like they were having a competition.
Lu Jing pulled the blanket over his head and added a pillow on top.
Still, it didn’t help much.
Probably, he could only wait until they stopped on their own.
Lu Jing arrived at the department early, only to be spotted by the sharp-eyed Nurse Director, who teased him:
"Doctor Lu, even though we are young, we need to exercise some restraint!
Otherwise, when we get a bit older, we might not be up to the task!"
Are we starting a train so early in the morning?
And she’s going full speed?
Lu Jing’s face turned bright red, and he hurriedly explained:
"No, Nurse Director, I really had insomnia last night, really..."
But the more he explained, the harder it was to clarify, only leading to more misunderstandings.
"Okay, okay, insomnia, I got it ha."
Why does it sound more and more like she isn’t buying it?
