It’s just chatting.
You definitely need to chat about all sorts of things.
Various topics.
Sotis aimlessly.
Wherever your thoughts take you.
For example, now she suddenly wants to know about Dr. Xiaochuan’s plans for the future.
Will he stay in the Northeast?
Or will he return to his hotown, since Dr. Xiaochuan is already in his third year of graduate school.
Graduating in June next year.
It’s basically just half a year away.
"That’s quite far off. Currently, my ntor’s wife suggests I apply for a PhD. I’ll likely stay in the Northeast for a few more years, and then decide."
Normally a PhD takes three years.
But there are also those that take six years.
So it’s hard to say.
We’ll see when the ti cos. But honestly, despite having been in the Northeast for so many years.
Deep down, I’d still prefer to return to the South.
This place can be considered my second ho.
"Ah! Dr. Xiaochuan, you’re going to do a PhD! That’s great, that’s great! This ans I can assist you in surgeries for a few more years, I have a feeling there’ll be many surgeries to follow!"
For a mont, Zhang Lingchuan could genuinely see Yin Xiaoxiao’s eyes light up.
That kind of brightness was complex.
As if she was an old employee about to be dismissed, then signed a stable five-year contract.
As they chatted and chatted.
Ti slipped by.
Before they knew it, it was already eleven o’clock.
There were also fewer people in the barbecue place.
And the group next to them, where the kids were being criticized as if their mom was a T-Rex, had already finished and left.
As for Zhang Lingchuan and the others, they were settling the bill.
After all, it was too late.
They still needed to go to work the next morning.
"For you two, it’s 152 yuan altogether, I’ll round it down to 150."
The lady boss was collecting the money.
During this cold winter, while others’ faces were chilling, the lady boss’s round face was noticeably warm, because of her daughter who was still doing her howork there.
Just now, during their al, they had heard the lady boss intermittently tutoring her daughter.
"Alright, thank you, lady boss. I’ll pay, Xiaoqiao."
Though the lady boss seed a bit chubby, and she was quite exasperated.
Of course, he didn’t use a finger to touch her, and the top of her head seed like it had a green label.
But it was certain her blood pressure might be quite high at the mont.
Otherwise, her face wouldn’t be that warm.
"Alright then, I’ll let Dr. Xiaochuan pay. I’m just bumming a al tonight~"
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly beside him, waiting.
"Beep~, Miss, it’s gone through."
Zhang Lingchuan scanned 150 yuan for her.
"WeChat transaction of 150 yuan received."
At the sa ti, the in-store speaker started announcing.
"Alright, alright, thank you."
The lady boss thanked them with a smile.
"Dr. Xiaochuan, since you treated to supper tonight, and it’s already past eleven, how about you co stay at my place? I have a four-bedroom, two-living room apartnt, with a guest room that has a bathroom. We can go to work together tomorrow, how about it?"
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Lingchuan, asking with a smile.
"Your place? No, that’s not right, us being alone together..."
Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.
After all, Xiaoxiao didn’t have a boyfriend.
Staying overnight at her place, that wouldn’t be appropriate.
"Oh, Dr. Xiaochuan, I can tell you’re not that kind of person, and precisely because you have no intentions toward , I dared to invite you over. Do I look like soone inviting trouble into my ho?"
Upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan’s words, Yin Xiaoxiao imdiately persuaded him, while her eyes remained very clear.
"Uh uh uh..."
Zhang Lingchuan’s expression seed a bit chaotic.
"Luo Jiaxin—"
While they were talking.
A loud, irate shout suddenly ca from behind.
"You’ve been at it since eight until eleven! It’s already eleven and yet your howork isn’t finished. And you’re still playing with your phone! What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to sleep or not? Watch if I don’t give you a hard ti!!"
They turned around.
It was the lady boss, who had just smiled warmly at them.
But now she had turned into a very fierce face as if she were changing faces.
Then her big hand slapped down hard on her daughter who was fidgeting with her phone.
She was really furious.
They started the howork at eight.
And now it’s eleven.
Not only isn’t the howork finished, but during such a tiny interval as collecting money, she dared to use her phone to play.
Originally she was already fired up about tutoring the howork tonight.
Nothing seed to get through.
Now she’s just lost through playing!
The lady boss was really upset.
"Ah—, I won’t, I won’t, mom, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
The little girl had a ponytail.
Looked about six or seven years old.
After getting a smack on the head from her mom, she quickly put down the phone and then picked up a pencil.
But the eraser beside her was already crumbled.
It was evident the howork really drained her brain.
"Don’t call mom! You’re my mom now! You’re not wrong! I’m the one who’s wrong!!"
The lady boss’s voice was very loud.
She felt like her lungs were going to burst.
Why are other people’s children so smart, yet her own is like a ’blockhead’ who just can’t be taught!!
Not only can she not be taught, but she also loves clinging to a phone every day!
"Dr. Xiaochuan, then let’s happily decide it!"
After looking back for a mont.
They saw that it was the lady boss reprimanding her daughter again.
At that mont, Xiaoxiao turned her gaze away, asking Zhang Lingchuan.
After all, it’s a family matter after all.
It’s not good for an outsider like you to get involved.
"Xiaoxiao, hold on a second."
