"Top Student Zhang, could you help me out here?"
Zhang Wenliang stood up, "Suddenly I feel like drinking lemonade. Wen Ying, you probably want some too. I'll go buy it."
Watching Zhang Wenliang leave without looking back, Gao Qiuyu felt a bit sad. What kind of world was this? He didn't even know why he had a moment of rashness and said those thoughtless words.
But the words had already been spoken, and Gao Qiuyu could only accept this reality.
Zhang Wenliang left, leaving only him and Dr. Wen.
The boss is cooking in the kitchen.
There were only the two of them in the shop.
Gao Qiuyu stood there, pondering for a moment before gritting his teeth, "How about this, could you help me with a diagnosis? I think my psychological issues are quite severe! How could I say such nonsensical things without thinking?"
Wen Ying took out her phone, brought up the payment code, and said expressionlessly, "Transfer the money."
Gao Qiuyu immediately transferred the money.
After receiving the thousand, a smile returned to Wen Ying's face. "Now you are my patient. All those things you said can be classified as symptoms. As a doctor, I naturally won't mind. In my case, trouble from speaking only has one scenario."
"What's going on?" Gao Qiuyu blurted out.
"An illegal situation."
"I haven't broken any laws," Gao Qiuyu immediately defended himself. At most, he's just a small-time reporter trying to make some money, which is far from being illegal!
Don't send him in there.
"Don't worry, fellow patient! You're my patient, how could I hold a grudge against my own patient?" Wen Ying reached out to pat Gao Qiuyu's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, before her hand even reached his shoulder, Gao Qiuyu shivered in fear.
"I, that terrifying?" Wen Ying asked, frowning.
Her aura had reached a level where she could make children cry in the middle of the night without even touching them?
"No, no, no... it's my own problem." Gao Qiuyu wanted to cry, really wanted to cry.
Why did he really feel like a chick encountering an eagle in front of Dr. Wen?
"Did Zhang the top student buy the wrong lemonade? I'll go find him and help him pay." Gao Qiuyu stood up, ready to leave, but in the end, he couldn't get his wish.
"Come back!"
Gao Qiuyu immediately turned around, sat down, and was extremely well-behaved.
When the owner brought the dish up, he happened to see this scene: a man a few years older than Wen Ying was sitting across from her, looking unusually obedient, like a student being scolded by the headmaster.
The boss looked at Wen Ying in surprise. He knew Wen Ying; she was Grandma Wen's granddaughter.
She would greet everyone with a gentle smile, she was a good girl.
Could anyone be so afraid of such a good girl?
Could this be a scammer?
"This minced meat with vermicelli is really delicious. You're not from around here, are you? You should try more of our local specialties."
Gao Qiuyu nodded, "Alright."
"How did you meet Xiaoying?"
Gao Qiuyu nodded and then shook his head, "Just met, I guess..."
Sure enough, the unfamiliar man wanted to strike up a conversation with Xiaoying. Xiaoying was good-looking, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Grandma Wen's only granddaughter be deceived.
"Just met you and already treating Xiaoying to a meal?"
"Yes," Gao Qiuyu nodded, clearly unaware that he had already become a fraud in the boss's mind.
The kind that specifically deceives young girls.
"What do you do?"
"Me? A journalist."
"Do you have a press card?"
Gao Qiuyu, "...no"
Why do the people in this place always give one the creeps?
Could it be because of Dr. Wen?
"You don't even have a press card. What kind of journalist are you? You must be a fake, right?"
"Boss, we still have three dishes that haven't been served," Gao Qiuyu said with a smile, reminding the boss.
"Vegetables, what vegetables! You want to trick little Ying! You're dreaming! And you still want to eat vegetables?"
The boss didn't hold back and directly cursed out loud.
Wen Ying, "..." She never knew she was so well-liked on Wenxiang Street.
Gao Qiuyu, "..." never knew that he was actually a liar who dared to deceive Dr. Wen..
"Boss, I'm not a scammer." Gao Qiuyu was on the verge of tears.
"Tell me, would a liar ever admit to being a liar?"
"I won't. But I'm really not a liar!"
"Xiao Ying is so beautiful that the line of boys who like her could stretch all the way to France! You'd better drop those dangerous thoughts early; at my age, I've seen too many swindlers!"
So you think I'm just like them?
Naturally, Gao Qiuyu didn't dare to say such things out loud. It wasn't that he was afraid of the boss; he was afraid of Dr. Wen.
"Uncle Zhong, he is my patient," Wen Ying finally spoke.
Gao Qiuyu heard Dr. Wen's words, and his heart was already flooded with tears!
The boss immediately felt awkward. A patient?
Little Ying inherited her grandmother's clinic, never expecting to become a patient herself.
He wore an apologetic smile on his face, "Oh, you came to see Xiaoying for treatment. I'm sorry, I thought you were a scammer with ulterior motives towards Xiaoying. Today's meal will be at a 30% discount. My apologies to this patient."
30% off?
Gao Qiuyu became happy, but when he heard the boss call him a patient, he inexplicably felt strange.
When did he become a patient?
Fine, fine, on Dr. Wen's turf, he might as well go with the flow and be a compliant... no, a compliant patient of Dr. Wen.
"Thank you, boss." Gao Qiuyu's smile was somewhat stiff.
"It seems I came back just in time." Zhang Wenliang walked in with three glasses of lemonade, smiling.
"Xiaoliang, sit down quickly. Uncle will go stir-fry some dishes right away! Since everyone is here today, I'll throw in an extra dish for free!"
The three of them sipped lemonade through straws, creating an exceptionally harmonious scene.
Gao Qiuyu felt inexplicably emotional, "I never thought I could be with Dr. Wen."
He had only spoken halfway when he saw Wen Ying and Zhang Wenliang each take a big chopstick-full, and half of the plate of minced meat and vermicelli was already gone.
"What did you say? You can continue." Zhang Wenliang said, eating minced meat and vermicelli without even looking at Gao Qiuyu.
"I said I was hungry too." Gao Qiuyu picked up his chopsticks without any hesitation. The second dish hadn't even been served yet, and this one was already finished.
"This minced meat with vermicelli is the best dish I've ever had!" Gao Qiuyu exclaimed.
"Since you like it so much, you can come more often in the future. Anyway, Sister Wen Ying is here, she can help you with your illness a few more times," Zhang Wenliang said with a smile, sipping his lemon water.
Gao Qiuyu's expression instantly froze. Seeing the doctor once was enough; more than that was too much for him.
This money is damn hard to earn!
He must be frugal!
The remaining three dishes were served quickly, while the complimentary one from the owner took a bit longer.
But the three of them ate until they were very full.
After Gao Qiuyu settled the bill, the two of them followed Wen Ying to the clinic.
"Are you here to see the doctor too?" Wen Ying asked, looking at Zhang Wenliang.
"I accompanied him to see the doctor," Zhang Wenliang answered the question calmly, glancing at Gao Qiuyu.
Gao Qiuyu hurriedly spoke, "I'm fine with anything, you guys go ahead."
"Do you know what illness you have?"
