Moonlight falls into my arms
Chapter 7, but for some reason, it makes one's heart soften.
"Dr. Jiang, we're having dinner together tonight."
Just as Jiang Yuci was about to refuse, Dr. Li leaned over to him and advised, "You didn't go last time, and Jiang Yanhui really made a big splash in front of the department head. This time, not only will the head of the equipment department be there, but the vice president will also be there. It would be really inappropriate for you not to go, and no excuse you make will be appropriate."
“…Hmm.” Jiang Yuci glanced at the time again.
It's already 5:30.
The taxi fare he left for Ruan Li last time was returned to him.
Ruan Li didn't have a single penny on her.
Aside from the fact that she went to meet them, Jiang Yuci couldn't think of what she was doing outside.
He looked up at Dr. Li and said, "I'll go."
Dr. Li smiled. "Okay, by the way, your sister didn't come today? Did she take her medicine properly?"
Jiang Yuci tidied up the things on the table and paused when he saw the origami cranes that Ruan Li had folded from scraps of paper yesterday when she was bored.
He straightened the tilted origami crane.
He then replied to Dr. Li, "I don't know."
The dinner was held at a Chinese restaurant not far from the hospital. It was a private room with a full wall of transparent glass windows, right outside of which was a traffic light and zebra crossing.
Jiang Yuci was very uncomfortable in this kind of social scene with people coming and going, and he sat there and hardly said a word.
Dr. Li thought he had finally seen the light this time, but he turned out to be just as clueless as before.
He leaned close to Jiang Yuci's ear and said, "With your abilities, if you were any sweeter with your words, you would have ascended to immortality long ago."
"Standing on the ground is fine." Jiang Yuci turned her head away from the slight smell of alcohol that Dr. Li brought when he approached.
Through the glass window, snow was falling heavily outside. Jiang Yuci's gaze was fixed on the person dressed in a mascot costume next to the lamppost.
Seemingly feeling suffocated, she took off her wig, gathered her disheveled hair together, and re-tied it into a bun.
Strands of wet hair clung to her rosy cheeks as she fanned herself with her hand, her gaze shifting.
Jiang Yu turned around, leaving only his back to Ruan Li.
Ruan Li swallowed hard; her mouth was incredibly dry, but she didn't have a single penny on her, not even enough to buy a bottle of water.
Ruan Li looked at the restaurant across the street. Warm yellow light shone through the glass windows, and she saw a familiar figure from behind.
With his unchanging white shirt and gray sweater, plus his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and upright posture, Ruan Li recognized Jiang Yuci at a glance.
Jiang Yu resigned?!
Ruan Li was startled and immediately put the hood back on before daring to look at people openly.
Seeing the table laden with meat and fish in the restaurant, Ruan Li subconsciously swallowed.
Jiang Yuci turned his gaze to her, his eyes lingering on her for a moment.
Ruan Li froze, then raised her hand and made a big heart shape with her fingers.
Jiang Yu resigned: "......"
Dr. Li noticed his gaze, looked out, and after seeing the chubby bear's actions outside, laughed at Jiang Yuci: "Dr. Jiang, you're so charming, even the bears passing by are making heart shapes with their hands for you."
At this moment, Ruan Li was thinking—I must not let Jiang Yuci find out that I wanted to secretly earn money to buy a phone.
Jiang Yuci looked away, knowing full well that it was just a momentary panic caused by her fear of being caught.
Ever since Ruan Li saw Jiang Yuci, she stood there handing out flyers and wouldn't leave.
Anyway, she'll be off work soon. Once she takes off the mascot costume and gets the money, she can go home with Jiang Yuci, saving on transportation costs.
After the dinner, arrangements were made to see off several leaders first, with Jiang Yuci and Dr. Li and several other doctors walking behind.
While going to the restroom, Dr. Li looked at Jiang Yuci with exasperation, "You might as well not have come at all. You're like a silent gourd, you can't utter a single word even when you're completely shut down."
Dr. Li sighed again: "Sigh, indeed, no matter how hard people try, they can't compare to those who were born into good families. The vice president values Jiang Yanhui so much not only because he speaks eloquently, but also because of his powerful background. If you had such a background, plus your own abilities, you could still thrive even without saying a word, and the vice president would have to come and talk to you personally."
Jiang Yu washed his hands, grabbed a towel, and walked outside. "Why do I have to be successful and thriving?"
Doctor Li: “…”
He caught up with him, saying, "A genius like you, one in a billion, certainly shouldn't be overlooked!"
"As long as I can still treat patients, I will not be forgotten."
Jiang Yu left the restaurant, her gaze drifting to the teddy bear perched on the pole.
The bear, like a student caught slacking off by the teacher, immediately stood up and quickly stood ramrod straight.
The group was crossing the street to find a parking space.
Jiang Yuci passed by the teddy bear.
I was given an advertising flyer.
A Guide to Regaining Male Virility
Do you feel overwhelmed in your intimate relationships?
Jiang Yuci glanced at the flyer: "..."
He looked up, as if making eye contact with the person inside the teddy bear.
Ruan Li felt guilty again and turned her back to hand out flyers to another person, but was refused.
Dr. Li leaned closer and said, "See? I told you that the heart shape was meant for you. Otherwise, why would it reach past so many people to hand out flyers to you alone?"
Jiang Yuci handed the flyer to Dr. Li, saying, "I don't need it, here you go."
Dr. Li glanced down, then everything went black. He shouted loudly at Jiang Yuci, "I don't need it either!"
"Dr. Jiang, you didn't drive here either? Shall I give you a ride?" Jiang Yan returned with several people beside her.
Someone looked at Jiang Yan's eye-catching Ferrari and laughed, "He's really a young master out here experiencing life. We're the real beasts."
"I'll take everyone home later."
Jiang Yuci didn't say anything, and walked past Jiang Yanhui to leave.
He blocked it with his arm.
Those nearby sensed something was off between the two, but weren't surprised. They just said a few awkward words and left the scene.
Ruan Li, dressed in a mascot costume, crossed the street and wandered around the sidewalk.
Dr. Li stood by watching the two men, his hands raised, ready to break them up at any moment. Then, during the breakup, he 'accidentally' kicked the young master.
Jiang Yuci took a step back. "You're leaving first?"
Ruan Li hid in the mascot costume, looking at the two of them with some confusion. Last time Jiang Yan replied, she thought the two were relatives or something.
Judging from their demeanor, they seem more like sworn enemies than relatives.
Jiang Yan was dressed in luxury brand clothes, and the Ferrari behind him was also eye-catching and flashy. His ostentatious and flamboyant manner was boundless. In contrast, Jiang Yuci, who was standing in front of him, was reserved from head to toe. His eyebrows and eyes were calm and composed, without revealing any sharpness, yet he was more oppressive.
Ruan Li felt that Jiang Yanhui had been forcibly put on a clown mask.
However, he put the mask on himself.
Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Yuci deliberately turned aside and passed him.
Jiang Yan reached out to push the person.
Before it could even touch Jiang Yuci, it was shoved aside by a huge object next to it.
He was smashed into that cool Ferrari.
Jiang Yuci turned around and saw the unsteady teddy bear about to fall over.
He raised his hand to steady the person.
However, because the teddy bear was too big, it looked like the two were hugging.
Ruan Li placed her chubby paws on his black coat, and after only a second of eye contact with Jiang Yuci, she nervously closed her eyes.
They probably...didn't recognize me, right?
After Jiang Yuci helped the person to their feet, he let go of their hand.
A teddy bear with a knitted smiley face was placed right in front of him.
Jiang Yuci blinked, and the frost on her eyelashes gradually melted away.
He silently chuckled, "True or false."
But for some reason, it makes your heart soften.
