Chapter 899: Chapter 901: Finding an Excuse
Tang Rong was initially quite pleased to hear it, but the last explanation really was too absurd. What do you mean you don’t call me because I don’t call you? It’s truly hilarious! Tang Rong couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Rongrong, don’t laugh, I know my idea is quite speechless, but this is my genuine thought. Didn’t you say we should have a good talk this morning? I’ve said what’s on my mind, and now I want to hear your thoughts."
"If you have any dissatisfaction with me, feel free to mention it. I will definitely change. You know there’s a big difference in brain structure between men and women, so we might unconsciously have many conflicts. If you talk about it, I will definitely change. You must remember, I will always love you." Xiao Yifei said.
"Since you want me to speak up, then I won’t hold back. First of all, I’m your girlfriend, so no matter how busy you are, you can spare a moment to send me a message, right? Or just make a short phone call of a few minutes, letting me know I still matter to you. But not calling at all and no messages makes me feel you don’t care about me at all."
"Previously, every time I called you, but to be honest, you barely received those calls. You might occasionally reply once or twice after seeing them. I know you’re busy; I don’t want to be that unreasonable girlfriend. But you should give me at least a basic sense of security."
"Let me feel that you love me, that you care about me, not that you don’t call for a week or don’t come home for half a month. Of course, I’d be angry."
Upon hearing Tang Rong speak so much, Xiao Yifei finally realized where his problem lay. Recalling some of his past actions, it truly was the case. Many times, he actually did have the time but kept using his busy work as an excuse.
"Rongrong, I’ll definitely change these issues in the future, but please don’t be angry anymore, okay? Every time you get angry, I wonder what I’ve done wrong, but my brain is so slow, I can’t figure out what I did wrong, so I can only worry aimlessly."
"If we have any problems in the future, we must communicate promptly, okay? Let’s not have any more silent treatments, making everybody’s mood bad, affecting our work." While speaking, Xiao Yifei hugged Tang Rong. Tang Rong initially wanted to break free, but since Xiao Yifei held her tightly, she stopped struggling and let him hug her.
"I recently met a fantastic Chinese Medicine doctor. This morning, he invited me for breakfast, and the breakfast he made was absolutely amazing! Whenever you have time, I’ll definitely take you to try his cooking. Also, he’s quite knowledgeable; chatting with him makes me feel like an idiot with how much he knows."
After resolving their issues, Xiao Yifei began talking to Tang Rong about what happened this morning.
Tang Rong initially thought that since it was a Chinese Medicine doctor, it must be a man. But hearing Xiao Yifei praise his cooking, she grew wary and asked, "Is that doctor a man or a woman?"
"Whoa, Rongrong, you’re jealous! It’s a man, about as old as my grandfather. What are you thinking!" Xiao Yifei replied.
"That’s good. If you dare have dinner alone with a woman, I won’t forgive you." Tang Rong made a throat-cutting gesture.
Xiao Yifei remembered he had dinner with that pretty policewoman the other day. Tang Rong mustn’t know about this, and it was purely for business that they met, unaware since Tang Rong doesn’t yet know about Xiao Yifei’s incident.
So Xiao Yifei said, "Besides dining with you and Miaomiao, I don’t have any female friends, let alone eat with them. You can rest assured about this." Never will he dine with other women in the future. noveldrama
On this day, Xiao Yifei received a call from Song Baiyang. The guy hadn’t contacted him for a long time since the internship ended, not a word from him.
"Hey, Bai Yang, haven’t heard from you in ages. What have you been busy with lately?" Xiao Yifei asked.
"Sigh, students, right? Besides attending classes, what else can we do? I’m preparing for final exams these days! Brother Xiao, I’m calling to ask for recommendations on books related to Chinese Medicine. If you don’t mind, could you list your book recommendations for me?" said the person on the phone.
"I knew you must want something from me first. I’m outside now. Alright, I’ll organize the book list this afternoon and send it to you on WeChat." Xiao Yifei said.
"Seems like you’re on a date with your girlfriend, right? Certainly must be. In that case, Brother Xiao, I won’t interrupt your good time." He said and hung up.
That afternoon, Xiao Yifei compiled the book list and sent it to Song Baiyang.
After receiving the list, Song Baiyang studied it carefully and prepared to buy the books online. Good timing since Dangdang has promotions going on, buying books can save quite some money. He found that the list Xiao Yifei compiled was indeed quite detailed, perhaps listing all the books he read over the years.
Books like "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" and "Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders"—titles everybody knows—seen so many times in history textbooks, are essential reads for any clinical Chinese medicine doctor. Of course, Song Baiyang must have read them more than forty times, practically knowing which page each picture appears on.
To be truthful, the Wen Yan written by students of Chinese medicine is sure to be more impressive than those studying Chinese language literature—as they’ve read medical books so many times, their comprehension must be exceptional.
Later, Song Baiyang accompanied a classmate to shop. As they wandered further, Song Baiyang realized he was quite close to the hospital, so he told his classmate, "You head back first; I interned at this hospital before, and I want to visit a familiar face."
Then Song Baiyang went to the hospital, navigated his way to Xiao Yifei’s office, and luckily it was almost off-hours, and Xiao Yifei was free at the moment. Song Baiyang knocked and walked in, seeing Xiao Yifei, who happily asked, "You have time to come over, isn’t school keeping you busy?"
"No matter how busy, there must be time to see my senior brother. While accompanying a classmate shopping this afternoon, I happened to be around, so I thought I’d check on you." Song Baiyang said.
"I knew it, you wouldn’t be so kind to visit me. Oh, I sent the book list to your email, did you see it?" Xiao Yifei asked.
"I saw it, that’s why I came to thank you personally! Brother Xiao, did you actually read all those books?" Song Baiyang asked, initially shocked by the sheer number of books, thinking he couldn’t finish them even by age thirty.
"Of course I’ve read them all. How could I casually recommend books I haven’t read to you? Those classics are good books; take your time to go through them. I have some that I haven’t listed for you. Your practical experience isn’t enough yet, so you wouldn’t understand even if you read them." Xiao Yifei replied, with a slight sense of pride.
"Brother Xiao, you’re simply not human. I shouldn’t have come to find you. Coming to you is just undermining my confidence!"
"My situation is different. My grandfather was a doctor, so I was influenced from a young age. Some simple medical books I read at a young age; they were like storybooks, so don’t feel too disheartened." Xiao Yifei comforted Song Baiyang.
