Chapter 164 - 164 Date

164 Date

Tongji Hospital.

After a series of checkups, Lin Jiao followed Pei Zhi to the office to wait for the results.

“Shen Yi.” She sat on the sofa facing the sun and looked up at him. “Do you usually work overtime?”

“Not really.” Shen Yi refilled their teacups. “My time is flexible. I don’t have to come if there’s no surgery.”

“Then how many do you have today?”

“One.”

Pei Zhi took the teacup and took two sips.

He opened the cigarette box and threw a cigarette in Shen Yi’s direction. “When did you go back home last night?”

“About three or four.” Shen Yi smoothed out the wrinkles on his white coat. “Yuzhou and Qu Shao threw up twice.”

“Where’s Yanshen?”

“He left early with Qian Yue.”

Lin Jiao’s curiosity was piqued when she heard that they bumped into Xia Nanrui. “Did she say anything when she saw Chu Yuzhou?”

“She was with another man at that time.” Shen Yi placed a hand on the edge of the sofa.

“She’s dating again so soon?”

“It doesn’t look like a serious date.” He briefly described what he saw. “It’s probably two people getting what they want from each other.”

“How did Chu Yuzhou feel?”

“He said he wanted to throw up.”

Lin Jiao could imagine the expression on his face.

After chatting with Shen Yi about what happened last night, she was distracted by Qian Yue who suddenly appeared.

“Are you working overtime today too?”

“No, I came to get something.” Qian Yue sat down beside her. “Are the results of your checkup out?”

“Not yet.”

“I’ll go and take a look.”

About fifteen minutes later, he came back with the report and carefully read it.

“How is the injury on her back?” Pei Zhi tapped his knee anxiously, eager to get the answer he wanted.

“She’s recovering quite well.” Shen Yi met his long and narrow eyes. “But there’s still some blood clots.”

“How long will it take to remove them?”

“According to the current situation, it’ll be all gone by the end of next month.”

Pei Zhi relaxed.

He held Lin Jiao’s hand tightly, looking forward to the next month. “How will she react after the blood clot is gone?”

Shen Yi understood that he meant what would happen after her memory became normal. “She might have a headache, or she might not have a reaction at all.”

“How bad will the headache be?”

“Slightly.” He put down the report and said seriously, “Are you ready?”

“Fully.”

“Ready for what?” Lin Jiao looked at Pei Zhi in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.

Pei Zhi leaned over and whispered into her ear, “Exercise.”

His breath was like flames that brushed past Lin Jiao’s skin.

She pinched his waist. “Mind your words.”

“They can’t hear us.”

Pei Zhi felt the itch on his waist and stopped teasing her.

He chatted with them in a good mood. When Shen Yi was about to undergo surgery, they left the office with the report.

“Qian Yue.” Lin Jiao stopped at the door and turned to look at her. “Where are you going? We can drop you off.”

“No need. He’s coming to pick me up.”

“Are you two going on a date now?”

“That’s right.” Qian Yue pushed aside the long chestnut hair on her shoulder and raised an eyebrow. “I’ll talk to you girls about it tonight.”

Lin Jiao smiled. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.” She held Pei Zhi’s hand and said goodbye to her before disappearing from the car.

Not long after they left, a modified gray Porsche stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

After Qian Yue got in the car, Zhou Yanshen stepped on the accelerator and headed straight to the bowling alley to start the date.

There were many people who came to bowl this weekend.

The waiter led them to the reserved lane before serving them wrist guards and tea.

“I’ll help you put it on.” Zhou Yanshen lowered his head and gently put the wrist guard on her wrist.

The ear stud on his right ear reflected a faint light under the light, quietly disturbing her calm eyes.

Qian Yue’s gaze landed on the side of his face for two seconds.

When the smell of tobacco on him was far from her nose, she regained her usual composure. “Do you come here often?”

“Sometimes.” The reason he chose the bowling alley was because she had never played it before. He wanted to use this opportunity to get close to her.

Zhou Yanshen placed his right hand on the watch strap.

He took off his watch and handed it to her. “Can you keep it for me?”

“Alright.” Qian Yue put the watch into her bag.

“Why don’t you demonstrate first?”

Zhou Yanshen picked up a 12-pound ball.

He bent down slightly and waved his right arm back. He repeated it a few times and aimed at the bowling pins in the distance.

With a soft rolling sound, the blue ball rolled towards the bowling pins and knocked down the ten pins that were arranged in an inverted triangle.

STRIKE flashed on the screen.

He instantly attracted the attention of the bowlers in the hall. The three girls sitting nearby also started discussing.

“Ahhh, he’s really handsome!”

“He looks like a bad boy. One look and you can tell that he’s not to be trifled with.”

Qian Yue, who had accidentally overheard their conversation, looked at Zhou Yanshen. She had to admit that he was indeed mesmerizing.

She pulled herself back from her thoughts and looked at him with admiration. “Are you sure you only came here occasionally? Why are you so good at it?”

Zhou Yanshen was mesmerized by her gaze.

“It’s just luck.” He held her hand casually. “What color do you like?”

“Black.”

“Then try nine pounds first.”

Qian Yue took the bowling ball from him.

She adjusted her posture at his instruction. “Don’t laugh at me if I miss.”

Zhou Yanshen chuckled. “I won’t.” He bent down to maintain the same height as her. “Pay attention to your balance. Don’t use too much strength.”

“What else?”

“Swing your arm back and forth five times before throwing the ball.”

Qian Yue did as he said.

She focused on throwing it forward and looked at the black ball rolling diagonally towards the pins. “Mr. Zhou, it seems to have stopped.”

Seeing that the ball had stopped in front of the pins, Zhou Yanshen retracted his gaze and got another ball for her.

“It’s fine.” He stood behind her and taught her how to adjust her posture. “Bend a little more.”

Qian Yue lowered her eyes and glanced at the palm on her forearm. Her lips curled up slightly.

She bent down further. “Can you throw the ball with me? I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my strength.”

Zhou Yanshen naturally would not refuse.

He brushed his chin against her shoulder and inadvertently closed the distance. “Remember this angle.”

When Qian Yue heard his voice entering her ear, she felt an itch.

She tilted her head and closed her eyes. “Mr. Zhou, can we knock the pins down this time?”

“We sure can.” Zhou Yanshen swallowed hard.

He looked down at the woman in his arms and was moved by her dependence and trust in him. “I’m sure one or two will be no problem.”
