Fortunately, Cheng Ling only treated it as a joke and replied, “At least there’s a pig for my cabbage. I’m afraid your pig won’t be able to get any cabbage.”
Lu Xiu felt that he was choked for a moment and instantly felt that Cheng Ling’s words made sense.
Therefore, he walked to the side and thought about whether he should remain alone till the end of his life.
At this time, Xie Ying also locked the door.
After locking the door, Xie Ying patted her head.
“Look at me, I have forgotten about the birthday gift.”
After saying that, she was about to open the door again. But Cheng Ling quickly grabbed Xie Ying’s hand. “Grandma, I’ll go get it.”
Xie Ying was silent for a moment. “Okay. We both can’t be late all the time. I’ll go over first. You take the gift and come over as soon as possible.”
Cheng Ling nodded, took the keys, and opened the door.
“Don’t you have to go over first?”
Lu Qi was wearing a navy blue suit today. It made him look even more handsome and elegant. The indifference in his eyes reminded Cheng Ling of the snow mountain that never melted all year round.
Lu Qi shook his head and said, “I’m here waiting for you.”
For some reason, Cheng Ling blushed when she heard this. She rushed upstairs to get the gift and took this opportunity to calm herself down.
When she brought the gift downstairs, she was much calmer.
Cheng Ling brought two bags.
One of the bags contained the wine that they bought together that day.
“What’s the other gift?”
“It’s tea bags that I made myself.”
Lu Qi smiled, looking as if he had seen through everything.
“You must have known that Old Master Cheng is having a cold, so you specially made it.”
Cheng Ling nodded without denying it.
“No matter what, health is still very important.”
“You really have the benevolence of a doctor.”
Everyone had already gone to the banquet ahead of time. There were only the two of them on the small road leading from the back mountain to the Cheng Residence.
The evening wind blew the bamboo on both sides of the road slightly, making rustling sounds. Everything was so quiet.
After they finished discussing the topic of gifts, the two of them suddenly fell silent.
They walked along this bamboo path for about a hundred meters before reaching the Cheng Residence. From this place, they could already see the colorful lights hanging at the entrance of the Cheng Residence through the gaps in the bamboos.
They could hear the sound of the clinking glasses faintly.
“You’re so beautiful today.”
“Thank you for your dress and shoes.”
The two of them were either not speaking at all or speaking at the same time.
Even so, they heard each other’s words clearly.
Hearing Lu Qi’s praise, Cheng Ling softly thanked him.
“No need to thank me. Of course, beautiful clothes are to be worn by beautiful people.”
Cheng Ling gradually felt that her relationship with Lu Qi was no longer just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship.
However, she could not find a suitable word to define their current situation.
Forget it, it was better to be a coward.
Fortunately, Lu Qi did not continue speaking. The two of them walked side by side to the Cheng Residence.
Lu Xiu had already arrived at the Cheng Residence ahead of them.
Old Master Cheng was eagerly pulling Lu Xiu to talk, and he was standing at the entrance of the Cheng Residence.
Cheng Ming and Xie Wan were standing beside Old Master Cheng.
“Master Lu, I’m so happy that you’re here.”
Old Master Cheng was holding Lu Xiu’s hand and shaking it continuously.
Lu Xiu pretended to smile and thought to himself, “Didn’t you come to find us again and again? We had no choice but to come!”
The conversation with Lu Xiu was nothing more than polite words of thanking him. However, Old Master Cheng deliberately said it very loudly as if he wanted all the guests to know that Lu Xiu was here.
Of course, he had achieved his goal.
Whether it was the first guest or the guests who had just arrived, they all saw Lu Xiu at once.
Seeing a group of people blocking the door, Cheng Ling suddenly stood still.
“Let’s go over later.”
“Okay, that’s fine. Let my brother hold the fort first.”
So the two of them stood in a slightly dark place, quietly waiting for the guests to disperse.
Cheng Ling’s phone suddenly lit up.
She opened it and saw that it was Gu Nan who sent her a WeChat message.
[ GN ]: Cheng Ling, I have a physics question that I don’t understand. I’d like to ask you.
Gu Nan also sent her a photo with a physics question on it.
Cheng Ling looked up at the sky: When did she reveal her strength?
[ Farming Professional ]: Why don’t you ask Teacher Sun?
[ GN ]: It’s Teacher Sun who told me to ask you.
